One might consider cameras to be a dime-a-dozen, but that’s not a bad thing. Even the simplest of cameras can attract anyone’s eye, especially if they’re shiny enough. And if they can go underwater, well, that’s just an added bonus. Today, Olympus unveiled the waterproof X-560WP, and the entry-level T100 for the whole world to see.
The X-560WP digital camera is of the 10MP variety, and can capture photos while submerged in 10 feet of water. It also features automatic scene detection, face detection (for up to 16 faces), and an auto-correction mode that’s specifically designed to improved shadows or red-eye in photos. It also features AF tracking, and a 3X optical zoom. Digital image stabilization is automatically built-in, and there are 18 shooting modes for you to peruse through. You have the option of choosing between SD or XD memory cards to store all your images. It’s available right now for only $160.
As for the entry-level T100, it also has a 3X optical zoom and AF tracking, but its face detection can only track up to 12 faces, not 16. You can view the images you snap on a 2.4-inch LCD on the back of the camera, and if you really need to catch a video, it can do that at VGA resolution. The pricing and availability for the T100 hasn’t been announced quite yet.

5 Tips For Keeping Your Liver Healthy Into Your Senior Years
October 16, 2018
If you're like most people, you probably don't think much about your liver. Everything you eat or drink, including all medications you take, pass through this organ, situated in the upper right portion of your abdomen. Your liver is responsible for a number of very important bodily functions, starting with acting as an important component of the digestive system, with the bile it produces helping to break down foods.
The short list of liver functions includes storing carbohydrates, detoxification of substances in the body, metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, and the making of plasma proteins. Now that you're thinking about your liver, your private duty professionals from the region around Lake Stevens and elsewhere would like to remind you that October is National Liver Awareness Month, and there's no better time to think about trying to maintain good liver health into your senior years.
General care for the liver
Unlike the heart, which can be strengthened by certain beneficial foods, there aren't really many drinks or foodstuffs which are particularly nourishing for your liver. In fact, the rule of thumb for general liver care is to avoid things which are harmful to the liver, rather than ingesting anything which can boost liver function. The lifestyle elements described below collectively make up the most beneficial checklist of things you can do to keep your liver healthy now, and well into your senior years.
Diet and exercise
At the top of most 'best practices' for good health, you'll find eating a healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise. Promoting good liver health is no exception to that because these two practices act to discourage the gaining of too much weight, which can lead to all kinds of liver problems, as well as other health issues. When a person becomes overweight, it can lead directly to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which occurs when excessive deposits of fat build upon the liver. While it can cause serious issues all on its own, NAFLD is also considered a risk factor for developing other serious diseases.
Avoid alcohol consumption
Drinking a little alcohol does not usually trigger any harmful reaction in the liver, but excessive consumption over a prolonged period often leads to cirrhosis of the liver. Cirrhosis is a condition characterized by the damaging of liver cells, which leads to swelling and scarring of the tissue in the liver, and when this reaches an advanced state, it can be fatal. Federal guidelines recommend that men consume no more than two alcoholic beverages in a single day and that women consume no more than one daily. Anything above that which is consumed on a regular basis can put a person at risk for developing cirrhosis.
Be wary of medications
There are certain medications which are harmful to your liver, and these should be avoided if at all possible. For instance, some drugs intended to manage cholesterol can have side effects which damage liver cells. The very common pain-killing medicine acetaminophen (Tylenol), can cause major damage to your liver if you ingest more than you should, especially for a prolonged period of time. Many people are unaware that acetaminophen is present in more drugs than the headache tablets you purchase over the counter.
There is also acetaminophen in cold medicines and other pain medications, so you should make a point of checking the label on any drugs you buy at the local pharmacy, and avoid consumption of excessive acetaminophen. You should also consult with your doctor about the possibility of interactions between some of the drugs you currently take because some types of drug interactions can be very harmful to your liver.
Understand about viral hepatitis
Viral hepatitis is one of the most serious diseases which can affect your liver, and there are several different types of it to be aware of. The strain known as Hepatitis A can be contracted from eating food or drinking water which has been infected with the virus. When you're traveling to regions of the world where there have been known outbreaks of the disease, it is highly advisable to be vaccinated prior to making your trip. Both Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C can be contracted via body fluids which contain the virus.
You can lower your risk of catching this virus by not sharing items like razors, toothbrushes, and needles. There is a vaccination for Hepatitis B, but none has yet been developed for Hepatitis C, so you can't totally protect yourself against this.

Growing up inside the patriarchy as a cis-gender male, the world taught me to objectify women and girls. This despite the fact that my favorite people were the women responsible for much of my upbringing, my mother and grandmother. When I listened to hip hop, the view of women was either derogatory or, at best, patronizing. TV commercials and movies featured women only as secondary characters as window dressing to the male gaze. I’ve been a musician my whole life. Somewhere, I learned to compare the hips of a woman to the pleasurably curvilinear shape of the instruments I played: the violins, basses, and guitars. Generally, the world had a difficult time passing the Bechdel Test. So did I. The world told me to see my sisters from the outside in. So I did.
Then one day, well into adulthood, I came across Lucille Clifton’s “homage to my hips.” I’d spent my life as an objectifier without realizing it. In the way that only a wonderful poem can, Ms. Clifton’s poem rearranged the furnishings of my mind. All of a sudden, I understood what I was missing, the great chasm between us (men) and them (women) was self-created, non-existent, the product of a failure to care. “Hips” was a declaration of agency in a strong, clear, voice. The connection between the strong women I admired and the countless women I failed to see. Clifton cut through my fog and allowed me to understand the object was actually the subject, the protagonist of her own story, and probably much more interesting than me.
“these hips are mighty hips.
these hips are magic hips.
i have known them
to put a spell on a man and
spin him like a top”

US warns of links between Islamic State, Boko Haram
At "Ground Zero" in Africa's counterterrorism fight, senior U.S. officials warned of deepening links between the Islamic State and Boko Haram and prodded Chad's ruling strongman to introduce reforms for the sake of long-term stability.
But in a rare appearance before foreign journalists at his presidential palace, Chadian President Idriss Deby indicated he wouldn't help in the U.S.-backed effort to install a unity government in Libya, his country's northern neighbor, a former foe and an incubator for Muslim extremist groups.
The visit to Chad by America's U.N. envoy, Samantha Power, and top U.S. military officials such as Brig. Gen. Donald Bolduc, commander of special operations in Africa, highlights the country's precarious position dealing with a multitude of hostile militant groups and unstable neighboring governments. It also underscores the impoverished, land-locked country's growing geopolitical value.
Boko Haram has launched attacks on Chad's territory from its base in Nigeria to the southwest. The Islamic State and al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb lurk in chaotic and lawless Libya to the north. To the east is Sudan's Darfur region; to the south is the Central African Republic, still recovering from years of interethnic conflict
The Boko Haram-IS nexus may pose the greatest immediate threat. Although Boko Haram pledged its allegiance to the Islamic State last year, the operational connection has been unclear.
Bolduc said the groups clearly share "tactics, techniques and procedures," from the way they conduct complex ambushes and set improvised explosive devices like roadside bombs, to how they undertake high-profile attacks on hotels.
Suggesting the relationship is expanding, he said Chad on April 7 intercepted a "large cache of different types of weapons" sent from Libya and intended for the Lake Chad region. These included small arms, machine guns and rifles.
"You can, I think, draw a conclusion," Bolduc told reporters. The implication was that the weapons were sent by the Islamic State, which has established a foothold along Libya's Mediterranean coast, near the city of Sirte.
Given the range of threats here, he said the "Lake Chad Basin region is Ground Zero" in the fight against extremism in Africa.
Maj. Gen. L.O. Adeosun, head of the five-nation African force fighting Boko Haram, expressed a more muddied picture.
Adeosun cited "information," but not confirmation, of Islamic State members embedded within Boko Haram. But he said intelligence suggests Boko Haram still hasn't satisfied certain conditions set by the Islamic State for greater operational cooperation. He didn't elaborate.
At a briefing at the Multinational Joint Task Force's headquarters in Chad's capital, Adeosun showed reporters gruesome photos of the victims of Boko Haram attacks and the types of weapons employed.
One picture showed a bird with an explosive strapped on its back, demonstrating "a lot of ingenuity," Adeosun said.
Stressing the civilian aspect to defeating Boko Haram, a once indigenous Nigerian militant movement whose rebellion has morphed into a regional force, Power stressed the need to bolster economic development, job opportunities and political inclusiveness.
The message carried added weight, coming less than two weeks after Chad held elections that are widely expected to return Deby for a fifth term as president. Deby has led the country since 1990. Election results haven't yet been announced.
"We noted how far Chad has come from the dark days of dictatorship to today," Power said.
But she expressed displeasure with a "crackdown on freedom of protest" and a government decision to shut down the Internet and text messaging throughout Chad for several days around the time of the vote.
Deby rejected opposition claims that some 60 security forces who voted against him in the elections have since disappeared.
"There are no disappearances," he stated. "They will be presented on television, in front of the world."
As Power's delegation arrived in Chad, U.S. embassy staff warned accompanying journalists numerous times about rules prohibiting unauthorized photography in the country. They also told reporters not to ask Deby any questions.
But a somewhat reclusive Deby, who has survived at least a dozen coup plots and assassination attempts during his quarter-century in power, welcomed the opportunity to speak his mind.
The 63-year-old Deby, who seized power himself in a coup after helping Chad defeat Libya in the 1980s, said Washington and other powers were partly to blame for the Boko Haram-IS threat. He said they are destabilizing Libya through their effort to install a functioning government.
"The international community is imposing a unity government from outside Libya that will fail," Deby said.


The Pacific Islands Development Forum (PIDF) together with the USP, SPC and IUCN are holding discussions this afternoon with a major UAE research institute, the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology on major projects for the Pacific.
Last month following its successful participation at the fifth session of the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) held from 17-18 January 2015 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates where the Assembly voted to grant Observer status to the PIDF, the PIDF delegation to the meeting comprising Mr Penijamini R.T. Lomaloma, Deputy Secretary General, and Ambassador Esala Teleni, Special Advisor (Projects) met the following to discuss joint projects for the Pacific:
· Her Highness Sheikha Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qasimi, Minister of International Cooperation and Development,
· Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber Minister of State in the United Arab Emirates and the chairman of Masdar of the Masdar Institute,
· Dr. Thani Ahmed Al Zeyoudi Chair of the UAE-Pacific Partnership Fund, Permanent Representative of the UAE to IRENA, and Director of Energy and Climate Change,
· Professor Youssef Shatitla, Dean of the Masdar Institute,
· Professor Taha BMJ Ouarda the Head of the Institute Center for Water and Environment of the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology,
· Dr. Adnan Amin, Director General of IRENA.
Projects discussed included help with water in the Pacific, renewable energy, and an exchange of post graduate students between the Institute and USP. This afternoon at 3pm a Team from the Pacific comprising the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), the University of the South Pacific, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the PIDF will be discussing the development of these projects through a Teleconference with the Head of the Institute Center for Water and Environment of the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology Professor Taha BMJ Ouarda.
Speaking about upcoming collaboration with Masdar the PIDF Secretary General Mr Feleti Teo states,“Access to safe drinking water and clean, reliable, and affordable energy are critical sustainable development issues for Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs), with profound implications for economic growth, human rights, public health and the environment.
While a range of national and regional programmes exist to address specific water and sanitation, and energy issues in the Pacific, there is now a clear need for the Pacific community to review, update and refresh the actions and commitments made to date.
“I am glad this meeting is taking place this afternoon as we see understand that the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology is the world’s first graduate- level university dedicated to providing real-world solutions to issues of sustainability. Our proposed collaboration will contribute to an integrated approach to the management of water and sanitation, and energy in the Pacific.”
“Community ownership and engagement are crucial to the success of any improvement efforts, and the design and implementation of solutions should include measures to enable the effective participation of communities at all stages. The PIDF with its inclusive processes can contribute to this regional effort and we are grateful to all parties that are working together on this initiatives.”

Kriegsmarine bearded U-Boot portrait
Original Kriegsmarine postcard sized portrait in good condition. The portrait is a nice example with a dark colored sidecap, a tropical shirt with a Eisernes Kreuz II klasse ribbon and a added embroided breast eagle. The most interesting fact to the photograph is that the individual soldier is sporting a beard which was only(!) allowed for U-boot personnel.

Hilltoppers Heat Are Coming!
The 8th Grade Division at the MLK Classic will definitely give us a chance to see some new talent. We are anxious to see what team will leave the champion in Pennsylvania.
MLK Classic 8th Grade Preview
Hilltoppers Heat: The Heat made their name known by winning the Tip Off Classic Blue Division Championship. The MLK Classic competition should be a little stiffer so we will really get a chance to see where they stand.
Team Twelve: After making it to the finals of the Tip Off Classic (Orange Division) this Brooklyn crew has to be one of the favorites to win it all. The have enough weapons to get this done.
Team Final Black: Last year this group made a little noise in this event as Team Rebels. Maybe playing near their home turf will help them out again this year.
Boston Spartans: The Spartans will be taking the long trip with hopes of winning the banner. Their scrappy style might help them get over the top.
Maryland Scholars: Word from the Maryland area is that this squad should blow the doors off this event. I remember the name from a few years ago and so suspect they have a group of studs.
Pittsburgh Cavemen: The Cavemen will be making their Spotlight debut and don’t be surprised if they make a serious run at the title. I’ve seen them at other events and they always represent themselves well.
DC Blue Devils: We don’t know much about this bunch so we will get our first look at them this weekend.
PYO: This tough Philly organization always brings the realness when they enter the gym. I’m anxious to see what they have this time around.

As personal injury attorneys, the most difficult cases our offices handle are those that deal with the death or serious injury of a child. These types of accidents bring unimaginable pain and suffering to the parents, grandparents and siblings of the child that has been involved.
The most common child accidents oftentimes can be prevented by taking certain precautionary measures.
Preventing At-Home Child Accidents
Drowning, fire, burns (pots, grease irons, etc), injuries to the head, serious falls, electrocution, broken bones and suffocation are among the most common at-home child accidents. But, there is a way to make your home safe in efforts to prevent these tragic incidences from occurring.
- Install stairway gates to prevent falls
- Put plastic coverings over all electrical outlets
- Do not keep poisonous household cleaning items within reach; store in locked cabinets or high cupboards
- Keep medications out of reach of children or in locked cabinets; purchase child-proof bottles
- Set hot water temperature low to prevent scalding
- Install fence and keep outdoor swimming area locked and off limits when there is no adult supervision
- Use non-slip rugs throughout the house, especially outside of the shower or bath tub
Take these simple measures to ensure the safety of your children or grandchildren.
Responding to an Out-of-Home Child Accident
In the event that your child or grandchild has been seriously injured in an accident, there are several things that must be done. This can be overwhelming, as you must deal with the medical community, health insurance companies, and properly file with the legal system.
It is important to have an attorney help you through this difficult time. Experienced child accident attorneys know the proper steps to take when a child accident occurs, and will help to resolve any legal issues that may exist.
If your child or grandchild has been seriously injured or killed in a child accident, call our Ohio child accident attorneys. We can navigate you through the process, and deal with the hospital and insurance companies so you don’t have to.

Money Advice Scotland Annual Conference & Exhibition 2016 Crieff Hydro, 2 nd & 3 rd June 2016
Local Authority Funding: Impact on Advice Services Money Advice Scotland Annual Conference 2016 Andrew Mc. Guire, Sandra Sankey, Karen Carrick, Monika Baczyk Improvement Service
What the presentation will cover • The Improvement Service • Overview of Local Govt Funding and Challenges • Local Govt funding of Money Advice • Options and challenges in responding to shortfall in resources • Workshop case study
The Improvement Service Established in 2005 Local Government organisation Supporting improvement on a wide range of issues of common interest to councils & CPPs Delivering a range of products regarding data analysis, digital public services, learning & development, performance management, research and knowledge management Not for profit Working with Scottish councils and their partners to improve outcomes for citizens Providing advisory services, consultancy and facilitation Supporting Elected Member development
Current Local Government Funding • c. £ 18 bn total LG spend in Scotland • SG funding for LG c. £ 11 bn • -11 % real term change in SG funding for LG since 2010/11 • Reduced flexibility (e. g. 8 yrs of Council Tax freeze, class sizes, etc) • Cost pressures – (e. g. demographic change, living wage, pension costs, etc) • Settlement beyond 2016/17 not yet known, but further significant cuts anticipated
Government Finance and Demand 2009/10 – 2017/18 (% real terms)
Savings options have included: • • Voluntary redundancy / early retirement Increased fees & charges Reducing provision / eligibility for certain services Sale of assets Use of reserves Borrowing Outsourcing / ALEOs / 3 rd sector / private sector Transformation initiatives
The Dangers………. • We simply cut rather than re-think the system • Small cuts to fragile budgets can create big losses • Focus on s-t balancing the books • We prioritise services and not outcomes • We compete rather than share capacity
Audit Scotland LG Overview 2016 • “The scale of the challenge in 2016/17 and beyond has significantly increased because of the local government funding settlement. The settlement has substantial implications for services…. ” • “Most of the savings councils have made over the last four years have relied on incremental reductions to a wide range of services and relatively small increases in income from fees and charges. Many savings have come from staff voluntary redundancies. There is a limit to how many staff can be lost before there is a major impact on the quality or quantity of services. Councils need to consider options for more fundamental changes to the way they deliver services. ”
Local Government Funding of Money Advice • Improvement Service partnership with Money Advice Service • Overseen by Advisory Board - range of partners from across money advice sector • Initial research: – Scottish Local authorities invest around £ 21 million p. a. in money advice services – Councils are the single largest partner involved in funding / delivering money advice in Scotland – But very limited info on actual impact of money advice – ‘Messy landscape’ - likely gaps, duplication, confusion, etc – Wide range of areas for improvement identified • Framework for Public Funding of Advice workstream • Money Advice Performance Management Frameworkstream
Framework for Public Funding of Advice • Partners Include: Money Advice Service, Improvement Service, Scottish Government, Scottish Legal Aid Board, etc The Framework aims to: • Assist funders to ensure they are working in line with good practice for funding of advice services; • Minimise duplication and overlap by encouraging referrals and a joined-up strategic approach between funders and providers; • Drive improvements in the quality and impact of advice services; and • Focus on the best outcomes for clients, whilst providing good overall value for the public purse.
Money Advice Performance Management Framework (MAPMF) • MAPMF is a key element of the Framework for Public Funding of Advice • Effective perf mgt is essential to public service reform agenda • Work on MAPMF has involved widespread consultation to build consensus on the most relevant indicators and definitions (aim to reduce reporting burden on frontline staff) • Will help highlight the contribution of money advice services / make the case for continued investment, incl value added and difference made to clients • Improved consistency helps facilitate sharing of good practice, benchmarking, opportunities for partnership working • Can help identify and actively manage potential improvement areas • Scope for framework roll-out beyond councils
MAPMF – Some Initial Results • (Year 2 data from Councils due to be returned shortly for analysis) • Findings from year 1 data analysis include: – Ethnic minority groups are accessing money advice services as well as the general population (Scottish level data) – 50% of all clients seen by money advice services have an annual household income of less than £ 15, 000 – The average financial gain for clients using money advice services is £ 1, 900 – Every £ 1 invested by councils in money advice results in around £ 5 in people’s pockets
Current Year Budgets Money Advice Budgets 2016/17 6 No Change Reduction in house service 2 17 Reduction in funding external service Reduction in both 4 Still under discussion 2
Public Sector Reform Challenges • Need to address the scale of spend on negative outcomes & reduce long term demand for public services • Managing down demand is central to balancing books • Improving outcomes by: - • Targeting ‘hard to reach’ / tackling poverty & inequalities • Implementing the shift to prevention and early intervention • Client-centred and evidence-based approaches • More effective partnerships / integration / service delivery models • Access to good quality advice services arguably more important than ever • Focus on prevention, improving financial capability, health & wellbeing
Conclusion • Very limited options for increased funding - need to make better use of existing resources across the sector • In light of financial challenges, need to make the case effectively for: – Ongoing investment in advice services to deal with current ‘reactive demand’ – Increasing preventative interventions that reduce future need (e. g. in schools) • Advice services and financial capability can be an important means of improving outcomes and driving down l-t demand for public services
Final Key Messages • Rising to the challenge will require more radical solutions than the incremental changes of recent years • Routes to improving outcomes in a sustainable way are likely to include: – – – – – Considering new ways of providing services, including best mix of delivery channels Increasing focus on preventative interventions aimed at improving financial capability Embedding key principles of the ‘Framework for Public Funding of Advice Services’ across Scotland Ongoing development, use and roll-out of MAPMF to assess the performance of services and identify improvement opportunities Making best use evaluation evidence re what does / does not work (MAS Evaluation Toolkit) Better joining-up / collaboration / sharing of resources and expertise More effective partnership working / co-ordination to ensure best possible use of resources needs to happen both strategically and at a local level Better targeting of services on those who will benefit most (including current unmet need) Streamlining the ‘customer journey’ and ensuring timely access to high quality advice
your challenge It is February ‘ 16, Warrenshire Council have agreed to reduce funding for in-house services and grants to the voluntary sector by 10% on an across the board basis from 1 April ‘ 16. From 1 April ’ 17, a further cut of 20% is expected. Your task is to consider, from the perspective you have been allocated, how best to manage with the reduced levels of funding, both current and future, and to consider how services might be sustained or, if possible, enhanced. This should be done in a very general way. Your plan and the way it is presented can be very creative and the only constraints are that; • there is no additional funding from the local Authority • any planned activities must be legal When you have agreed on your approach, you should consider how it might best be presented or pitched to the panel of 3 decision makers - our very own ‘dragons’. Their decision will be final. Your pitch should last a maximum of 2 minutes and can be in any form you wish.
Introducing your dragons True or False? False

Herring says all Supreme Court nominees back to 1875 got a confirmation hearing
Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring recently joined an effort to convince U.S. Senate leaders this year to fill the U.S. Supreme Court seat opened by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.
President Barack Obama on March 16 nominated U.S. Appeals Court Judge Merrick Garland for the seat. This follows weeks of vows by Senate Republicans not to hold confirmation hearings for any Obama nominee and their insistence that filling the high court seat be left to the new president in January.
Herring signed a March 10 letter with the Democratic attorneys general of 17 other states – plus those of the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico – telling Senate leaders from both parties they have a constitutional responsibility to act on Obama’s nominee. They said the refusal of Senate Republicans to consider a nominee this year breaks long tradition and that “every nominee since 1875 has received a confirmation hearing.”
We wondered whether that statement spanning the past 141 years is correct. Michael Kelly, director of communications for Herring, said the claim is based on information from the White House website, which says “since 1875, every nominee has received a hearing or a vote.”
That wording is a bit different than the claim in the attorneys general letter, that every nominee since the mid-1870s received a “confirmation hearing.” We spoke with four experts on Supreme Court history, and they all took issue with the statement in the letter.
The first confirmation hearing wasn’t held until 1873, according to a 2016 article published by Paul Collins Jr., a political scientist at the University of Massachusetts, and Lori Ringhand, a professor and associate dean at the University of Georgia School of Law. But that was a closed-door session probing a narrow issue of whether chief justice nominee George Williams misused Department of Justice funds for personal expenses, the professors wrote.
For the next 40 years, the Judiciary Committee discussed and voted on three dozen potential justices without hearing testimony from the nominees or anybody else, according to a 2009 Congressional Research Service report. And unlike today, those sessions were held behind closed doors.
The Judiciary Committee didn’t hold its first public hearing on a Supreme Court nominee until 1916. The nominee and future justice, Louis Brandeis, wasn’t required to show up, and he didn’t.
When it comes to an open forum in which a nominee testifies before the committee – the way it’s done today – that didn’t happen until 1925.
That year, Harlan Stone became the first nominee to testify publicly before the Judiciary Committee. He was called to address concerns by some senators about his financial connections. Stone handled the questions with aplomb and served 21 years on the court – the last five as chief justice.
For the next 30 years, the committee usually, but not always, held public hearings. There was no custom of having the nominee appear before the panel, according to Henry Abraham, a retired University of Virginia government professor who wrote the book “Justices and Presidents: A Political History of Appointments to the Supreme Court.”
That changed after the confirmation of Chief Justice Earl Warren, a three-term Republican governor of California, in March 1954. Two months later, the high court unanimously handed down the Brown v. Board of Education decision that required the integration of public schools. Outraged Southern senators resolved that future nominees would not be given an easy confirmation path, according to Abraham and several other Supreme Court experts we contacted.
The next nominee was John Harlan II, a Republican from New York who Southern Democrats denounced as an “ultra-liberal” dedicated to eroding the Constitution by “judicial fiat.” In February 1955, the Judiciary Committee held two days of closed-door hearings on the nomination and then opened the proceeding to the public for Harlan’s testimony. A month later, the Senate confirmed Harlan on a 71-11 vote.
Thus was born what experts say is the modern tradition of the committee holding a public hearing that includes testimony by the nominee. There have been two footnote exceptions since 1955, according to a 2009 study by the Congressional Research Service:
In June 2005, President George W. Bush nominated John Roberts to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. The nomination was withdrawn without a public hearing that September, when Chief Justice William Rehnquist died. Bush then nominated Roberts to be chief justice and, after public hearings, he was confirmed.
In October 2005, Bush nominated Harriet Miers for O’Connor’s seat. Miers, a close adviser to Bush, was criticized heavily for not having judicial experience. Several weeks later, Bush withdrew her nomination before a public hearing was held.
Herring and fellow attorneys general wrote that “every (U.S. Supreme Court) nominee since 1875 has received a confirmation hearing.”
The claim hits a recent roadblock with the 2005 nominations of Roberts and Miers, although we note their names were withdrawn before a formal hearing could be held.
But going even further back, from the 1870s to mid-1910s, there’s no record of three dozen Supreme Court prospects getting any formal hearing before the Judiciary Committee. Instead, the panel met behind closed doors to discuss and vote on nominees.
In the context of modern-day nomination hearings, which nowadays entail dissecting a potential high court jurist’s background and qualifications in formal appearances in public, that process didn’t start in earnest until the 1950s.
We rate the claim Mostly False.

The fungal root-endophyte Trichoderma virens: Combinations with rhizosphere competent Bacilli to achieve synergistic effects in rapeseed systemic resistance induction
Fatema Binte Hafiz, Jörg Geistlinger, Ingo Schellenberg
Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, Institute of Bioanalytical Sciences (IBAS)
Combinations of different root-endophytic T. virens strains and supporting Bacillus species will be tested for beneficial influences on plant performance by using an in-vitro system of sterile rapeseed plants. Root and plant development will be recorded. Fungal root colonization densities will be monitored by qPCR and molecular markers and be correlated to the utilized mycorrhiza helper bacteria. Favorable combinations leading to enhanced root colonization with the fungal endophytes will be identified and systemic plant responses be analyzed at the gene expression level. Marker genes for SAR and ISR pathways will be applied to dissect plant responses at the systemic level. In the final step rapeseed plantlets will be inoculated with the most promising combinations of beneficial microbes and subsequently being challenged with fungal pathogens. Effectiveness of elevated systemic resistance levels on the inhibition of fungal plant pathogens will be evaluated. The main research questions are: • Can the synergistic effects demonstrated for T. harzianum and B. amyloliquefaciens concerning enhanced root colonization densities of the fungus in maize be successfully transferred to the combination T. virens and Bacillus sp. in a rapeseed bioassay? • Is root colonization density with beneficial root-endophytic fungi directly correlated to enhanced root growth and improved plant performance? • Are genes involved in SAR and ISR pathways significantly up-regulated in plants with roots well colonized by T. virens (priming effect)? • Do elevated expression levels of such genes directly reflect improved tolerance of crop plants to fungal pathogens?

Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, may be used by some mums-to-be as they believe this practice might supplement their care during pregnancy. Here's what you need to be aware of when using TCM:
By Dr Michelle LIM, Associate Consultant and Associate Professor Tan Thiam Chye, Visiting Consultant, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, KK Women's and Children's Hospital
Some women use Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, as they believe it might help maintain a healthy reproductive system. In this ancient practice, it's commonly believed that the most important organs that govern the
qi (life force) and blood are the liver, spleen and kidneys. The TCM viewpoint is that a liver malfunction might result in menstrual disorders; and an issue with the spleen might cause deficiencies in blood and qi, which might disrupt menstrual cycles. The kidney also plays a big role in excreting biological waste products and water from the body.
It's very important that you consult a licensed TCM physician before starting on any treatment. Here are three commonly used supplements that are prescribed for women's issues and the risks and potential benefits to be aware of:
This supplement might help to stimulate appetite and aid digestion.
What are the risks? In general, no side effects have been documented.
Important Nutrients: What Should You Eat More Of?
This supplement is thought to increase endurance and energy levels.
What are the risks? Don't take this if you're allergic to bee pollen, honey, conifer and poplar trees.
Understanding Health Supplements
This supplement is believed to improve blood circulation so it's normally used to restore strength and energy levels after giving birth or in the case of a severe loss of blood. It's thought to promote digestion and improve the appetite of the new mother.
What are the risks? This supplement should not be taken by pregnant women or by new mothers who experience hot flushes or skin rashes after delivery.

Almost everyone enjoys a good painting. Those who couldn’t spell “Rembrandt” even if their life depended on it have probably hung a piece of art on their wall at some point. But ask a random person if they’d like to visit an art gallery and you might see some hesitation. While anyone can express why they like a movie or song, a meticulous painting can be trickier. The result is that someone who might really enjoy an exhibition could be worried that in a public setting they may not “get it.”
This is understandable. To the inexperienced, art can be intimidating. The stereotypical undertone is that to appreciate fine arts one needs a degree or formal training. And even though most everyone does enjoy art to a degree, no one wants to be embarrassed by their lack of knowledge. In many ways traditional fine art has always carried a certain inaccessibility to the general public.
But a growing trend in the Chapelboro community is helping to end this stereotype. Sprinkled around town are makeshift galleries in the most relaxed of places: locally owned coffee shops and restaurants.
Of course these displays are not official exhibitions, but it’s more than just eateries decorating their walls with random hodgepodges of paintings. Not only are original works presented, but there is usually a cohesive style that ties the different pieces together. Jessee’s Coffee & Bar in Carrboro even goes as far as exclusively displaying work from one particular artist to create a cohesive atmosphere (shown below).
Arrangements like these lay a foundation for appreciating and discussing the art in an accessible and easygoing way. Explanations from the artists themselves are often even included—undoubtedly written with the layperson in mind—allowing for a deeper understanding.
Immediately apparent here is a lack of anything fancy or technical. No definition of Cubism or Fauvism is necessary to sit in a local coffee shop and check out some great art, and one doesn’t need to know whether it was Van Gogh’s left or right ear that he tried to give as a gift. The only requirement is that the observer be interested in what he or she is observing.
Clearly this is great for customers, but the relationship is advantageous for everyone involved. Since most locations tend to showcase local works, pricing details are often included— patrons can consider potential art purchases without the insecurities of inexperience that can come with a high-class gallery and even the purest of artists would entertain the idea of making their work more marketable.
Likewise, a contribution to the intellectual atmosphere already common in many cafes promotes good business. Chyenna Jessee, owner of Jessee’s, stresses the mutual benefit for all parties: “It’s a community thing. I don’t charge the artists. If it feels right for my clientele, I put it up.”
“Community” is why this matters.
Naturally each party benefits on its own: the artist gets a wider platform to make connections, the public receives an enlightening experience, and the businesses in turn enjoy the rewards of it all. It’s self-perpetuating and wholly positive, but what’s most important is the end result of that cycle. In the end it becomes something bigger than its individual parts, and that’s what the essence of a community is.
In a way this is a metaphor for what art is in the first place. (A meta-metaphor, maybe.) After all, the power within art is that it represents more than what it actually is made of— a painting has more meaning than just shapes of oil and canvas. And by making creative works accessible to more people, those works become more powerful. Eventually, a cycle is set in motion, community bonds are strengthened, something greater is created, and it all starts with simplifying and opening up the experience.
This isn’t to imply that community can’t be fostered in traditional galleries, or that one should ignore those venues— far from it. It goes without saying that locations like Ackland at UNC are vital for the education and production of art and artists, both past and present. But, the idea here is that Ackland and the like aren’t the only avenues for those who want to appreciate culture in this way, and more informal arrangements can in the end bolster the demand for traditional art galleries as a whole.
A new fan of art is a new fan of art. Period. In the end, the one can help the other. Imagine how many less basketball players there would be if you had to start out on a varsity team. The playground pick-up game allows for everyone to participate, and gives those who might not be up to speed a place before tackling something more formal. It’s win-win.
If you’d like to take part in this laidback community approach towards the fine arts, stop by Crook’s Corner, Pepper’s Pizza, Caffe Driade, Jessee’s, or Open Eye Café, among many others. Or even better, check out Second Friday Art Walk sometime. You’ll notice that many of the locations are nontraditional galleries. And most importantly, don’t worry if you don’t “get it.” Just enjoy the experience in the way you want.

As what is supposed to be the last of the “Star Wars” movies, “The Rise of Skywalker” comes to the screen this week, a central, still unanswered, is, what is the real Star Wars?
Actually, this one seemingly simple question has stumped and alienated both fans and serious scholars: what exactly is the “Star Wars” canon? What is the official story line?
One other entertainment product has also generated an inordinate amount of discussion, debate and, unfortunately, vitriol, “Lord of the Rings”
In both cases the question is, “what is the true story line,” and perhaps, what did the creator intend? And given the level of technology today, another question is, “What if the creator changes the original?”
In the case of “Star Wars,” another enduring question is, “Who shot first.” In the original, Han Solo shot Greedo first. But in later versions, the scene was re-edited so Greedo shot first, and the hero, Han Solo, was merely responding to an unprovoked attack.
The case of “The Lord of the Rings” is more complicated, since there are two prequels, “The Hobbit,” and “The Silmarillion,” and there are some significant disconnects between the three stories.
In his lifetime, the author, J.R.R. Tolkien, tried to harmonize the three stories, but more than 50 years and dozens of revisions later, there are still discrepancies.
In addition, the author left thousands of pages of adjustments, stops and starts, which his literary executor and son, Christopher, has tried to weave together. Thousands of pages of these revisions and historical notes have been published, which has led to endless speculation about what the original author intended, what son Christopher has legitimately incorporated into the original canon, and how much is simply unwarranted speculation.
A phrase I really like to apply here is, “Paralysis by analysis.” Stop over-analyzing the movies and books, which are, after all not real life, but extraordinary fiction, and just enjoy the stories.
I’m Larry Burriss.

Newcastle: a 'living lab' to test driverless cars, parking sensors and lockout laws | Guardian Sustainable Business. When the entrepreneur Dr Gunilla Burrowes reaches for a metaphor to describe Newcastle, she comes up with “the Goldilocks city”. She means that like the middle bed in the fairytale, it is just the right size to be able to get things done. “That has really powerful implications for business,” she says. “We are small enough to get to know each other quite well personally and [care] about each other, but big enough to have a marketplace to have the services.” With a population of about 400,000, composition and geography, the New South Wales coastal city is an ideal candidate to be a “living lab” – a place where companies can trial their inventions to see how they perform in the real world.
For this reason, Newcastle was picked to trial such innovations as the state government’s lockout laws for pubs, a new McDonald’s menu, and a parking sensor app. And the NRMA has nominated the city as a place to test driverless cars.

Tree Shaped Wind Turbines to be Installed in Paris. A French company called New Wind is installing tree-shaped wind turbines at the Place de la Concorde in Paris, France. The company’s founder, Jérôme Michaud-Larivière came up with the idea while in a Paris square, when he “saw the leaves tremble when there was not a breath of air.” He hopes the trees can be used to exploit small air currents flowing along buildings and streets, and could eventually be installed in people’s yards and urban centres. He is the first to admit the efficiency of the trees is low compared to more consistent currents higher up, but believes the £23,500 trees are more viable and less intrusive than ‘monstrous’ conventional wind turbines. The 26 foot high trees, which use tiny blades inside the ‘leaves’, could potentially be profitable after a year of wind speeds averaging 7.8 mph.
They can generate electricity in wind speeds as low as 4.5 mph. Scroll down for more photos and the video.

Updated Imagine wanting nothing more than the feeling of sand between your toes and warm water lapping at your legs, but being bound to the flat, concrete carpark. That was a reality for Mackay's Sian Burrows, who for the past four years, has been restricted to a wheelchair. "I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the end of 2012, and by the beginning of 2014 it had affected my legs," she said.
"It meant then that living in the northern beaches, I was sitting on the shore not able to actually get onto the beach. "Feeling the sea breeze, feeling water under my feet, and then putting my feet in the sand — they're all sorts of things that you just don't get when you're sitting on the shore, so I've always kept thinking of how I could get onto the beach.
" Inspired by her desire to get down to the shore, Ms Burrows approached a local charity to pitch the idea of buying a wheelchair designed to move on the sand.

Wang and colleagues conclude settlement that their findings to develop a new way to offer screen for genes and drugs to control emotional, emotions, substance abuse and mood disorders.
In addition, the from the University of Toronto and Northwestern University in Chicago used the number and density of different male and female sounds index the emotional responses of mice. Inaudible to humans, these high-frequency calls are measured using special microphones and computer programs. However, the sounds move to complex chirp-like calls after mounting. As intensity increases during this phase, the sounds increased in number and become more complex.The connections between the relationship between genetic make up and properties like susceptibility to illness, researchers have turning to genome-wide association studies, in which she been to compare genetic variants of persons with a given disease for those of healthy humans. Such studies have linked many genes to disease, but these compounds was is often weak and equivocal, may because individual Generated often do not act alone. Of a specific gene of a particular gene, genes what other genes a human carries, and the new process has been developed through team on Wolfgang Huber at the EMBL and Michael Boutros on the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, enabling scientists to discover and measure this combined effects of..
Similarly, genes that have a similar genetic interaction profiles that mutually influence other’s effects, and Huber, Boutros and gentlemen are now point out how ‘Friends reviews ‘ – ie genes.. The scientists took several genes that are important for cell signaling and using a technique called of RNA interference, falls silent those genes two at a time, and compared the effects to what happens if you only or others a member the silence any pair.

Two top 10 finishes for FACH AUTO TECH at the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup visit to Hungary: while Morris Schuring, the best-placed driver of the team from the Swiss town of Sattel, finished seventh, teammate Alexander Fach finished ninth. Gustav Burton once again ran out of luck in the race.
Despite valuable points for the championship, Morris Schuring was not completely satisfied with his performance at the Hungaroring. “We made the most of our pace, I am happy about that,” said the 18-year-old Dutchman. “But what I’m not happy about is our pace. This has a negative effect, especially on a track where it is difficult to overtake. We are working on that and will do better at the next race.”
Schuring started from eighth place and made up one position during the 16-lap race. Teammate Alexander Fach, on the other hand, finished ninth in the same place from which he started the race. In the final phase, the young driver from Switzerland’s Schwyz lost a better position.
Gustav Burton, meanwhile, was well on his way to secure a podium finish in the rookie classification – at least until lap six when a collision through no fault of his own cost him a top result. The 20-year-old took it with humour: “I braked for turn 12, but Leon Köhler didn’t,” joked the Brit. “As a result, I was hit by him and pushed into the run-off zone. I lost a lot of ground as a result.”
Instead of the top 10 finish he had hoped for, he only finished 15th.“It’s disappointing for sure, but situations like this are part of the Supercup. Of course, I would still have liked to have taken the rookie podium. At Spa we will have a new chance to do that,” said Burton.
Only a week after the Hungarian Grand Prix a visit to the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is on the schedule. The race in the Belgian Ardennes takes place on Sunday 30 July.

LIVE BLOG Sunday March 25
Green Left Weekly is reporting live from the Coal Seam Gas Community Conference at Wollongong Town Hall on March 25.
3.30pm After a conference lunch break, four workshops were held concurrently. The most popular workshop was on blockade skills and planning for a CSG community blockade, which drew almost 100 people. Other workshops were on building community support, an introduction to CSG and working on Stop CSG Illawarra’s plan to get thousands of signs on houses and businesses across the Illawarra.
The final all-in conference session adopted the following resolutions unanimously:
• Mobilise supporters for a May 1 rally outside NSW parliament, spearheaded by the farmers, to oppose the NSW government’s Strategic Land Use Policy.
• Maintain suburban organisation, including stalls, letterboxing, and film screenings.
• Consider options for the Illawarra’s next big local action and look at the Lock The Gate plans for a national day of action in September.
• Call on University of Wollongong to declare any research it is carrying out on behalf of the CSG industry. There are indications UWS has a sponsorship relationship with AGL, a big CSG company.
• Promote the April 14 Rock to Stop CSG fundraiser.
12.30pm The mood lifts as the discussion turns to action and the campaign needed to stop CSG.
Stop CSG Illawarra’s Jess Moore says: “We’ve done big events, the human sign on Austinmere, the bridge walk, but essentially the key work we have done is talking to people – day in, day out, raising awareness.
“We’ve had small wins, but haven’t won yet.
“BTEX chemicals are being banned from being used – but you can’t fully ban BTEX chemicals because they can occur in produced water, even if not used.
“We’ve seen evaporation ponds banned – yet in the Pilliga they are still used, and at Oakdale there are open air ‘sumps’ instead of ‘evaporation ponds’ – what is the difference?
“We won a one-year moratorium on new fracking projects – yet fracking still allowed for existing projects…and what new information do we have that means fracking should be allowed again after the moratorium?
“We won unanimous support for the campaign from the Wollongong council. We’ve had the NSW ALP reverse its pro-CSG policy to support a moratorium.
“But we’ve had a broken promise from the NSW government. Not a millimetre of NSW is ruled out to CSG.
“We had the moratorium bill put by the Greens, supported by the ALP, but voted down 16-19 with the Coalition, the Christian Democrats and the Shooters against.
“We need to ask what cost if we don’t cancel these licenses? What cost to our health, to our water, to our environment? Look at asbestos industry, and the damage that did.
“Public opinion is 74% for a moratorium – but opinion is not enough – we need people to act.
“We can’t act just as individuals – need to come together – that’s the one good thing CSG has done – brought people together, brought community together.”
To loud cheers from the 300-strong crowd, Moore says: “A recent meeting of Stop CSG Illawarra voted that if they attempt to start drilling, we will blockade. We need to fight until government policy catches up with what communities across NSW are calling for.”
12pm Beyond Zero Emissions strategic director Mark Ogge outlines the mass expansion of CSG and gas in general.
“The Pilliga forrest, the ‘lungs of NSW’, a beautiful place, will be covered by industrial gas infrastructure across 8000 hectares,” Ogge says.
To audible gasps as an image is screened of the world heritage area destroyed to make way for the port, Ogge says: “World Heritage Curtis Island has been excised to be used as a gas port. That’s the smallest of four massive gas port projects in Queensland.
“NSW is where Queensland was six or seven years ago."
He shows a graph of today’s 20 million tons of gas that Australia exports, rising to 140 million tons of gas exported in a matter of years.
“The CSG industry says it is necessary to replace coal,” says Ogge. “But renewables can supply 100%. Other countries are expanding in solar and wind. Solar thermal produces heat, and that allows solar power to be stored and released when needed.”
Ogge shows a revealing graph, that as mining has boomed, all other manufacturing areas have shrunk. In terms of employment, the mining industry employs less than 2% of the workforce. So as mining increases at the expense of other industries, it is eating up jobs.
11.15am Jess Moore, founding member of Stop CSG Illawarra and a regional spokesperson for Lock The Gate, is introduced as a “community treasure” to launch the first panel.
Moore outlines the key concerns around CSG, starting with water.
“Any extraction technique produces contaminated water.
“Salt is the first contaminant – it sounds innocuous. But the federal government revealed that over the next decade 150 million tons of salt will be produced by CSG activity.
“Queensland gas has gained approval to build a salt pit the size of four MCGs.
“The CSG industry is a massive user of water. The government estimates the industry will use 5400 gigalitres a year – around three times Australia’s entire domestic water use of 1870 gigalitres a year.
“On methane – studies indicate that around 4% of this highly potent greenhouse gas is lost through leakage. Then another 15% can seep into produced water – that’s why we see in [the documentary] Gasland people who can light the water from their taps.
“We call for a precautionary approach – we need the facts. Freeze the industry and hold a Royal Commission, the highest level of public enquiry – the public have a right to know.”
10.45am A festive atmosphere meets the 200 people who have gathered at Wollongong Town Hall, with local musicians performing under yellow and black balloons as community members walk in.
The conference is welcomed by Aboriginal activists Mark Bloxsome and Lyle Davis. Bloxsome tells the conference: “Coal Seam Gas is the greatest environmental challenge in many years … water is the source of all life.”
Wollongong Mayor Gordon Bradbury opens the conference, as the conference acknowledges that Wollongong council provided the hall for free.
“This is about democracy,” Bradbury says. He outlines the council’s stance against CSG, calling on the state government to rule out CSG in Wollongong and in all water catchment areas.
“Nothing [is] more precious than water… everything seems to be up for grabs to miners… our country is not a mine to be sold off."
To a huge cheer, Bradbury says: "I am not against mining per se, but we also need to live sustainably."

The Minority Mindset has nothing to do with the way you look or what kind of family you’re from. It’s a mindset.
Give the majority $200 and they will come back with a pair of shoes. Give the minority $200 they will come back with $2,000.
Think from the mindset of a consumer and be the provider, that’s the Minority Mindset. Don’t be the majority. #MIH #GetMoneySmart
