MOSCOW, June 24. /ITAR-TASS/. More than 36,000 victims of massive floods in southern Siberia have received financial assistance from the federal budget, Emergencies Ministry spokesman Alexander Drobyshevsky said on Tuesday, adding that 3.7 billion rubles ($106.7 million) had been allocated from the federal budget.
One-time financial assistance had been provided to around 36,000 victims, he said. These comprised some 34,000 people in the republic of Altai and the wider territory of the same name, and more than 2,000 in Khakassia. Flood victims have also received compensation from the government’s fund for property losses.
“Around 4,000 people have been paid compensation of 50,000 rubles ($1,431) for partial loss of property, and 3,000 have received 100,000 rubles ($2,863) for total loss," the spokesman said.
Russian Emergencies Ministry chief military expert Eduard Chizhikov, leading a team of Russian rescuers to Siberia, told journalists that around 70,000 people had been affected by the devastation.
“Some 20,000 houses in 46 districts, housing more than 70,000 people, have been hit by the flooding. Some 41,000 have been evacuated,” the expert said on his return from Altai.
Devastation was wreaked by excessive rainfall when a month's precipitation was registered between May 27 and May 31. Conditions had stabilized in all regions except Altai, where settlements accommodating around 230 people remained partially flooded, Drobyshevsky said.


Polybutylene is a plastic resin that was manufactured into water supply piping for use in new construction. Commonly referred to as Poly-B, these water supply lines in homes carry a stigma that seems to be far-reaching despite their relatively short usage time frame. In my former practice, I had clients who ranged from “who cares?” to “are there any life jackets available for the showing just in case?” and although I am not a plumber, I will try to give a clear explanation of the facts so you can help your clients to know when to seek professional advice from a plumber.
Poly-B was developed and approved for use in the USA as early as 1975 at a time when copper prices were very high. The standard at the time for home plumbing systems was copper lines with copper joints which all had to be soldered. This copper piping system not only used a lot of expensive copper, but was time-consuming in soldering, measuring, and cutting. Because of coppers' rigid structure, it requires many joints and elbows to go around corners. All these factors led to the development of a great idea, namely plastic piping which was cheap to manufacture, light weight to transport, had some additional flexibility, and required no soldering at all! This caught on right away and became an instant hit, making its way to Canada as well for wide distribution and use in residential and commercial applications as early as 1978 but with wide appeal during the years 1985-1997. In 1998 the Polybutylene resin stopped being produced because of complaints that some installations were failing, and ultimately the Canadian plumbing code removed Poly-B as a viable material for use in 2005.
According to the Government of Alberta, unconfirmed estimates have 148,000 homes in Alberta with Poly-B water pipe installations, however, Alberta installations were primarily done with brass or copper insert fittings and soft copper crimping rings. Most of the installations that had fast failures, prompting class action lawsuits, used plastic fitting and crimps, but this is more a distinction between bad and worse, not good, and bad. Several factors have been found to lead to the relatively fast failure of this piping, plastic fittings and crimps are one, but the more serious ones are high chlorine water supply, prolonged UV exposure, and prolonged exposure to the high heat of the water or the surrounding environment. The major cause of failure is simply that the core molecular structure of the material was not well suited to the requirements of a water supply pipe, so the pipe gets brittle over time, and is accelerated by the factors I mentioned. Once the pipe is sufficiently brittle, it only takes a small movement in the line through sudden pressure change, being bumped, or even through temperature changes, and the line can split or crack resulting in potentially major water damage.
One of the truly sinister parts about the Poly-B issue is that the pipe most often does not change color or appearance as it deteriorates, so one day it is fine and the next day you have an in-ground swimming pool you never ordered. To be fair, all plumbing systems have a life span, and even copper is rated for only 50 years, but with installations lasting double that without problems. Poly-B seems to have a predictable lifespan but commonly lasts 20-30 years with proper installation and not having any of the accelerating factors mentioned. Because of this uncertainty, the only solution is to replace the piping with a proven system like PEX. This can usually be done with minimal damage when using a qualified plumber, especially one specializing in Poly-B replacement.
How to tell if you have Poly-B piping
The easiest way to check is to find an exposed pipe, most commonly in the utility room, and look at it. Poly-B has a characteristically light to medium grey color but was also made in black, blue, red, and silver. The permanent writing on the piping itself will usually have a code that starts with “PB”, the most common seems to be “PB2110”. It is not uncommon for consumers to see PEX piping, which is the current standard, and think that because it is plastic it must be “the bad one”. Poly-B will normally have copper elbows and connectors and joints to make corners, but PEX most often does not require such connectors since it can bend, and PEX is normally a white translucent color. As a rule, if the house is built between 1980 and 1998, and you see grey plastic pipes in the utility room, it is likely Poly-B and you should alert your clients to this right away so they can plan for a plumber to cost out a replacement.
At the time of the writing of this article, I have not heard of any insurance underwriters refusing to cover homes with Poly-B piping. It is conceivable however that since we are nearing the upper limit of the economic life of the late 90s installations this issue may flare up again and insurance companies will alter coverage to match the risk.

ARTICLE 121 of the Federal Constitution does not require amendment to return power to the judiciary, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz.
He said this was because the amendment made to the Article in 1988 did not affect the separation of powers and independence of the judiciary as enshrined in the Consti-tution.
Nazri explained that the amendment made 24 years ago only replaced the word “vested” to “there shall be two High Courts...” while the phrase “the jurisdiction as provided by the federal law” remained unchanged.
“Therefore, the meaning of Article 121 remains unchanged before and after the amendment and the judicial powers of the High Courts and lower courts are as stipulated under federal laws,” he said in a written reply to Karpal Singh (DAP-Bukit Gelugor).
Meanwhile, Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said ownership of the old Istana Negara – the official residence of 13 Yang di-Pertuan Agong – would remain under the Government.
He said the main building would be a national heritage site highlighting the Malaysian monarchy.
In a written reply to Lim Lip Eng (DAP-Segambut), Rais said Istana Negara was handed over to his ministry on Feb 21.

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH
Appellee was tried in Federal District Court on an information charging him with willfully assisting in the preparation of fraudulent income tax returns. Following the impaneling of the jury, the prosecutor called to the stand a taxpayer whom appellee allegedly had aided in preparing his return. At defense counsel's suggestion, the judge warned the witness of his constitutional rights. The witness expressed his willingness to testify, stating that he had been warned of his rights when first contacted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The judge refused to permit him to testify until he had consulted an attorney, indicating that he did not believe the witness had been warned by the IRS. Although the prosecutor advised the judge that the remaining witnesses had been warned of their rights by the IRS upon initial contact, the judge stated that the warnings were probably inadequate. Thereupon he discharged the jury and aborted the trial so that the witnesses could consult with attorneys. The case was set for retrial before another jury, but on appellee's pretrial motion, the judge dismissed the information on the ground of former jeopardy. The Government filed a direct appeal to this Court.
Held: The judgment is affirmed. Pp. 473-488.
MR. JUSTICE HARLAN, joined by THE CHIEF JUSTICE, MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS, and MR. JUSTICE MARSHALL, concluded that:
l. The sustainment of a motion in bar based on a plea of former jeopardy is appealable by the Government, as long as the motion was sustained, as here, prior to the impaneling of the jury in the subsequent proceeding at which the motion was made. Cf. United States v. Sisson, 399 U.S. 267. Pp. 473-478.
2. The Fifth Amendment's Double Jeopardy Clause represents a constitutional policy of finality for the defendant's benefit in federal criminal proceedings. Pp. 479-486.
(a) Although it is recognized that a defendant can be reprosecuted after a successful appeal, double jeopardy policies are not
confined to the prevention of prosecutorial or judicial overreaching. Pp. 483-484.
(b) The defendant has the option to have his case considered by the first jury, and where the judge, acting without defendant's consent, aborts the trial, the defendant has been deprived of his "valued right to have his trial completed by a particular tribunal." P. 484.
(c) In the absence of defendant's motion for a mistrial, the doctrine of "manifest necessity," United States v. Perez, 9 Wheat. 579, 580, commands trial judges not to foreclose the defendant's option until a scrupulous exercise of judicial discretion warrants the conclusion that justice would not be served by a continuation of the trial. Pp. 485-486.
(d) A judge must temper the decision whether or not to abort the trial by considering the importance to the defendant of being able finally to conclude his confrontation with society through the verdict of a tribunal that he might believe is favorable to him. P. 486.
3. The trial judge here abused his discretion, and accordingly appellee's reprosecution would violate the Double Jeopardy Clause. Pp. 486-487.
MR. JUSTICE BLACK and MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN concluded that the Court lacks jurisdiction of the appeal under 18 U.S.C. § 3731 because the trial judge's action amounted to an acquittal, but they join the Court's judgment in view of the decision of a majority of the Court to reach the merits. Pp. 487-488.
STEWART, J., joined by WHITE and BLACKMUN, JJ., agree only that the Court has jurisdiction of the appeal, as concluded by HARLAN, J. See point 1 of syllabus, supra.
HARLAN, J., announced the judgment of the Court in an opinion in which BURGER, C.J., and DOUGLAS and MARSHALL, JJ., joined. BURGER, C.J., filed a concurring opinion, post, p. 487. BLACK and BRENNAN, JJ., filed a statement concurring in the judgment, post, p. 488. STEWART, J., filed a dissenting opinion in which WHITE and BLACKMUN, JJ., joined, post, p. 488.
HARLAN, J., lead opinion
MR. JUSTICE HARLAN announced the judgment of the Court in an opinion joined by THE CHIEF JUSTICE, MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS, and MR. JUSTICE MARSHALL.
The Government directly appeals the order of the United States District Court for the District of Utah dismissing, on the ground of former jeopardy, an information charging the defendant appellee with willfully assisting in the preparation of fraudulent income tax returns, in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7206(2).
Appellee was originally charged in February 1968 with 25 counts of violating § 7206(2). He was brought to trial before Chief Judge Ritter on August 27, 1968. After the jury was chosen and sworn, 14 of the counts were dismissed on the Government's motion. The trial then commenced, the Government calling as its first witness an Internal Revenue Service agent in order to put in evidence the remaining 11 allegedly fraudulent income tax returns the defendant was charged with helping to prepare. At the trial judge's suggestion, these exhibits were stipulated to and introduced in evidence without objection. The Government's five remaining witnesses were [91 S.Ct. 551] taxpayers whom the defendant allegedly had aided in preparation of these returns.
After the first of these witnesses was called, but prior to the commencement of direct examination, defense counsel suggested that these witnesses be warned of their constitutional rights. The trial court agreed, and proceeded, in careful detail, to spell out the witness' right
not to say anything that might be used in a subsequent criminal prosecution against him and his right, in the event of such a prosecution, to be represented by an attorney. The first witness expressed a willingness to testify, and stated that he had been warned of his constitutional rights when the Internal Revenue Service first contacted him. The trial judge indicated, however, that he did not believe the witness had been given any warning at the time he was first contacted by the IRS, and refused to permit him to testify until he had consulted an attorney.
The trial judge then asked the prosecuting attorney if his remaining four witnesses were similarly situated. The prosecutor responded that they had been warned of their rights by the IRS upon initial contact. The judge, expressing the view that any warnings that might have been given were probably inadequate, proceeded to discharge the jury; he then called all the taxpayers into court, and informed them of their constitutional rights and of the considerable dangers of unwittingly making damaging admissions in these factual circumstances. Finally, he aborted the trial so the witnesses could consult with attorneys.
The case was set for retrial before another jury, but on pretrial motion by the defendant, Judge Ritter dismissed the information on the ground of former jeopardy. The Government filed a direct appeal to this Court, and we noted probable jurisdiction. 396 U.S. 810 (1969). The case was argued at the 1969 Term, and thereafter set for reargument at the present Term. 397 U.S. 1060 (1970).
Appellee contends, at the threshold, that our decision in United States v. Sisson, 399 U.S. 267, 302-307 (1970), which followed our noting of probable jurisdiction in this case, forecloses appeal by the Government under
the motion-in-bar provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3731 prior to its recent amendment.1 The question was fully briefed and argued on reargument.
The statute provided, in relevant part, for an appeal by the Government direct to the Supreme Court "[f]rom the decision or judgment sustaining a motion in bar, when the defendant has not been put in jeopardy." Appellee concedes, as indeed he must under the prior rulings of this Court, that his plea of former jeopardy constituted a "motion in bar" within the meaning of the statute.2 The issue is whether appellee had [91 S.Ct. 552] been "put in jeopardy" by virtue of the impaneling of the jury in the first proceeding before the declaration of mistrial. In Sisson, supra, the opinion of the Court3 -- in discussing the applicability of the motion-in-bar provision to the Government's direct appeal of the trial judge's actions there -- concluded, inter alia, that the "put in jeopardy" language applied whenever the jury had
been impaneled, even if the defendant might constitutionally have been retried under the double jeopardy provisions of the Fifth Amendment. 399 U.S. at 302-307.4
Here, the jury in the first proceeding had been impaneled before the mistrial ruling, but appellee's motion to dismiss on grounds of former jeopardy was made prior to the impaneling of the second jury. The Government contends that the impaneling of the jury must be understood to apply to the jury in the proceeding to which the plea of former jeopardy is offered as a bar, rather than the jury whose impaneling was, in the first instance, essential to sustain the plea on the merits. Appellee contends that the construction put on the statute in the Sisson opinion requires the conclusion that the Government may not appeal when a jury in the prior proceeding for the offense in question has been impaneled.
We think the Government has the better of the argument.5 The Court's opinion in Sisson dealt with the problem presented by the trial judge's order purporting to arrest the entry of judgment on the guilty verdict
returned by the very jury whose impaneling was claimed to constitute "jeopardy" within the meaning of the motion-in-bar provision. The conclusion that jeopardy had attached by the impaneling of the jury in that proceeding rested on the view that the Congress was concerned, in granting the Government appeal rights in...

Throughout history most politicians yearn to be liked, for the roar of the crowd, and for above all, power. Politicians have, to varying degrees, beliefs, but it is rare to find true statesmen or stateswomen.
Today’s politics is, in many ways, similar to the late Roman Republic. The society is changing rapidly and the politicians are mostly a mix of the weak, the hacks, and the dangerous. In the late Republic, the strong figures were men who moved to consolidate their power by effectively bribing the people by redistributing property- the dangerous. The most dangerous famous figure was Julius Caesar but there were others like Cinna. Much of the opposition to these dangerous characters were a mix of passive survivalists, weak appeasers, and an equally demagogic opposition. Those groups exist in any age, but especially among the rich and corrupt Roman Senate. There are others too who are more noble and yet complex- the scheming, but somewhat morally compromised, “clever” opponents- people such as Cicero. Then finally there are the rarest of breed- the morally unflappable scholar statesman- people such as Cato (both the younger and elder). Catos serve not because they desire power, but because they desire a greater good for their country based on a higher moral order. Jacob Rees-Mogg is of the line of a Cato.
Modern Britain shares similarities with Ancient Rome. There are your Caesars- the mad (Jeremy Corbyn) or the bad (Tony Blair)- who desire to change the country in their image. They view traditional Britain in a largely negative light and prefer a country shaped in their image- whether it be an EU super-state or a socialist paradise. There are then your appeasers. There are Senators who serve for duty of public service but do not believe much outside of duty- people like Theresa May. What does Theresa May believe in outside of public service? No one is really sure, outside of maybe a very private faith. When asked by Jeremy Paxton if she believed in Brexit she did not say yes- she said she was following the will of the people. As Allister Heath pointed out in a brilliant article recently, her government is largely managing the decline to a left-wing Britain- staying in power out of a duty to keep the bad (Corbyn) out.
Next are your Cicero characters- such as Boris. Boris is brilliant but often gets sent out to Greece to get out of people’s way. He is driven by a belief and love of country, but also doesn’t mind theatrics and loves the roar of the crowd after his stirring oratories. Boris shifts alliances but ultimately he is his own man. Boris is the wild card that like Cicero will be remembered in history- it was he for instance that is largely responsible for Brexit and I have written on his Churchillian like qualities before. Ultimately though, Cicero was doomed to history being too much of his own man- a fate I hope does not befall Boris.
Which brings us to Mogg. He has recently become a phenomenon that many have been flabbergasted by. He is immensely popular among young people despite being so contrary to everything that the young are supposed to like- in fact he is far and away the most popular British politician on social media. I have written about why he would be a great Prime Minister (you can also read an abridged version here). However, he is everything a politician of the 21st century is not supposed to be. He is ultra-conservative- he has six children, dresses traditionally, and has views that has had him branded the honourable member for both the eighteenth and nineteenth century (the former not being fair considering he is Catholic). He is unashamedly posh and knows history better than probably any politician in recent history. He is an “ultra” Brexiteer and yet he is currently the favourite among Conservative party members to be the next leader. How then can the smasher of every known modern political orthodoxy be within striking distance of Downing Street?
The reason for “Moggmentum” is simple. People ultimately recognize integrity when they see it. Like Cato, Mogg holds views that clearly are sincerely held. Yes, like Cato, he is an impeccable orator, something that we severely lack in this day in age- as Sam Hooper recently pointed out. But most importantly, like Cato, he does not bend to the will of his time, he fights for what he believes are universal truths. Many (not to be cynical- but fashionable urban) people were clutching their pearls in horror that Mogg actually believes in the teaching of the Catholic Church on abortion and gay marriage. But what is more strange is how did we get to the point that a Catholic (or Muslim or evangelical Christian- ie Tim Farron) politician would not believe the views of one’s religion in order to be elected. Are not the politicians who run from their avowed faith in favour of political expediency deserving of our contempt like corrupt Roman politicians whose worship of Jupiter was limited to being seen at temples on holidays?
This article is not to be misinterpreted to say all politicians must be saints or true believers to be effective political leaders. There are many pragmatic leaders who were great statesmen- people from Alexander Hamilton to David Cameron. However, the likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg deserve our praise and consideration for leadership because they are guided by a greater purpose and vision for the country that is not weighed down by blind personal ambition. I would argue that Rome would have been a better empire if it had listened to the stoic, moral and traditional philosophy of Cato. Likewise, I believe the UK will be better off listening to a man who foremost wants the best for his country- who knows its history and its people inside and out and who is guided by a moral compass that makes him unashamed to stand up for his beliefs. Remember actiones secundum fidei.

Context: Hormone therapy (HT), the most efficient treatment for menopausal symptoms, might have deleterious cardiovascular (CV) effects. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of low-dose estrogen HT on CV risk factors vs conventional-dose HT and placebo in postmenopausal women with no established CV disease. Data Sources: MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, and EMBASE were searched for trials published in 1990-2013; a hand search of reference lists of selected articles was performed; and ClinicalTrials.gov was searched for unpublished trials. Study Selection: Within randomized controlled trials of healthy postmenopausal women comparing low-dose HT to placebo or conventional-dose HT, 11 418 studies were initially identified. Data Extraction: Data were independently extracted by two investigators. Disagreements were resolved by a third author. Data Synthesis: Twenty-eight trials (3360 patients) were included. Low-dose HT vs placebo or conventional-dose HT did not effect weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, C-reactive protein, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Low-dose HT was associated with lower levels of total cholesterol (-12.16 mg/dL, 95% confidence interval [CI], -17.41--6.92) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (-12.16 mg/dL; 95% CI, -16.55--7.77) vs placebo. Compared with conventional-dose HT, low-dose HT was associated with higher total cholesterol (5.05 mg/dL; 95% CI, 0.88-9.21) and LDL-C (4.49 mg/dL; 95% CI, 0.59-8.39). Low-dose HT was not associated with differences in triglycerides vs placebo. Oral, low-dose HT was associated with lower triglycerides vs conventional-dose HT (-14.09 mg/dL; 95% CI, -24.2--3.93). Conclusion: In this population of apparently healthy postmenopausal women, the effect of low-dose HT did not differ from that of placebo or conventional-dose HT regarding weight, BMI, blood pressure, CRP, or HDL-C. In contrast, low-dose HT was associated with better lipid profile vs placebo, and induced higher total and LDL-C and lower triglycerides vs conventional-dose HT.

Patients with Xq26.3 microduplication present with X-linked acrogigantism (X-LAG) syndrome, an early-childhood form of gigantism due to marked growth hormone (GH) hypersecretion from mixed GH-PRL adenomas and hyperplasia. The microduplication includes GPR101, which is upregulated in patients' tumor tissue. The GPR101 gene codes for an orphan G protein coupled receptor that is normally highly expressed in the hypothalamus. Our aim was to determine whether GPR101 loss of function mutations or deletions could be involved in patients with congenital isolated GH deficiency (GHD). Taking advantage of the cohort of patients from the GENHYPOPIT network, we studied 41 patients with unexplained isolated GHD. All patients had Sanger sequencing of the GPR101 gene and array comparative genome hybridization (aCGH) to look for deletions. Functional studies (cell culture with GH secretion measurements, cAMP response) were performed. One novel GPR101 variant, c.589 G>T (p.V197L), was seen in the heterozygous state in a patient with isolated GHD. In silico analysis suggested that this variant could be deleterious. Functional studies did not show any significant difference in comparison with wild type for GH secretion and cAMP response. No truncating, frameshift, or small insertion-deletion (indel) GPR101 mutations were seen in the 41 patients. No deletion or other copy number variation at chromosome Xq26.3 was found on aCGH. We found a novel GPR101 variant of unknown significance, in a patient with isolated GH deficiency. Our study did not identify GPR101 abnormalities as a frequent cause of GH deficiency. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.

It has been suggested that the higher susceptibility of Hispanics to metabolic disease is related to their Native American heritage. A frequent cholesterol transporter ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A1) gene variant (R230C, rs9282541) apparently exclusive to Native American individuals was associated with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, obesity and type 2 diabetes in Mexican Mestizos. We performed a more extensive analysis of this variant in 4405 Native Americans and 863 individuals from other ethnic groups to investigate genetic evidence of positive selection, to assess its functional effect in vitro and to explore associations with HDL-C levels and other metabolic traits. The C230 allele was found in 29 of 36 Native American groups, but not in European, Asian or African individuals. C230 was observed on a single haplotype, and C230-bearing chromosomes showed longer relative haplotype extension compared with other haplotypes in the Americas. Additionally, single-nucleotide polymorphism data from the Human Genome Diversity Panel Native American populations were enriched in significant integrated haplo-type score values in the region upstream of the ABCA1 gene. Cells expressing the C230 allele showed a 27% cholesterol efflux reduction (P < 0.001), confirming this variant has a functional effect in vitro. Moreover, the C230 allele was associated with lower HDL-C levels (P = 1.77 × 3 10-11) and with higher body mass index (P = 0.0001) in the combined analysis of Native American populations. This is the first report of a common functional variant exclusive to Native American and descent populations, which is a major determinant of HDL-C levels and may have contributed to the adaptive evolution of Native American populations. © The Author 2010.

Maternal low-protein diets (LP) impair pancreatic β-cell development, resulting in later-life failure and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D). We hypothesized that intrauterine and/or postnatal developmental programming seen in this situation involve altered β-cell structure and relative time course of expression of genes critical to β-cell differentiation and growth. Pregnant Wistar rats were fed either control (C) 20% or restricted (R) 6% protein diets during pregnancy (1st letter) and/or lactation (2nd letter) in four groups: CC, RR, RC, and CR. At postnatal days 7 and 21, we measured male offspring β-cell fraction, mass, proliferation, aggregate number, and size as well as mRNA level for 13 key genes regulating β-cell development and function in isolated islets. Compared with CC, pre- and postnatal LP (RR) decreased β-cell fraction, mass, proliferation, aggregate size, and number and increased Hnf1a, Hnf4a, Pdx1, Isl1, Rfx6, and Slc2a2 mRNA levels. LP only in pregnancy (RC) also decreased β-cell fraction, mass, proliferation, aggregate size, and number and increased Hnf1a, Hnf4a, Pdx1, Rfx6, and Ins mRNA levels. Postnatal LP offspring (CR) showed decreased β-cell mass but increased β-cell fraction, aggregate number, and Hnf1a, Hnf4a, Rfx6, and Slc2a2 mRNA levels. We conclude that LP in pregnancy sets the trajectory of postnatal β-cell growth and differentiation, whereas LP in lactation has smaller effects. We propose that LP promotes differentiation through upregulation of transcription factors that stimulate differentiation at the expense of proliferation. This results in a decreased β-cell reserve, which can contribute to later-life predisposition to T2D. © 2012 the American Physiological Society.

Association of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with common variants in HHEX, HNF4α, KCNJ11, PPARγ, CDKN2A/2B, SLC30A8, CDC123/CAMK1D, TCF7L2, ABCA1 and SLC16A11 genes have been reported, mainly in populations of European and Asian ancestry and to a lesser extent in Latin Americans. Thus, we aimed to investigate the contribution of rs1111875 (HHEX), rs1800961 (HNF4α), rs5219 (KCNJ11), rs1801282 (PPARγ), rs10811661 (CDKN2A/2B), rs13266634 (SLC30A8), rs12779790 (CDC123/CAMK1D), rs7903146 (TCF7L2), rs9282541 (ABCA1) and rs13342692 (SLC16A11) polymorphisms in the genetic background of Maya population to associate their susceptibility to develop T2D. This is one of the first studies designed specifically to investigate the inherited component of T2D in the indigenous population of Mexico. SNPs were genotyped by allelic discrimination method in 575 unrelated Maya individuals. Two SNPs rs10811661 and rs928254 were significantly associated with T2D after adjusting for BMI; rs10811661 in a recessive and rs9282541 in a dominant model. Additionally, we found phenotypical alterations associated with genetic variants: HDL to rs9282541 and insulin to rs13342692. In conclusion, these findings support an association of genetic polymorphisms to develop T2D in Maya population. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

This weekend shooting in Antigo has turned into a personal crusade for me. Not because of guns or violence or any of the reasons you might think. Once I started digging into this and my old criminal psych training kicked in from days gone by it became clear why.
The young man who was the shooter was 18 in a small town, his girlfriend was younger and he was somewhat left behind by his classmates..betwixt and between so to speak. Well, as it turns out as an 18yr old I was somewhat in the same place with some of those feelings, not to the degree of Jakob but I certainly can associate where he might have been coming from. I know for certain the anguish he must have felt the last few weeks.
Now I had some outs at that time that Jakob didn't have and frankly there is no excuse for any 18yr old man in this country to feel like he was. I felt compelled last night to intervene on this young mans instagram when I saw his ex girlfriend and family being victimized... for what ? A very talented and beautiful 17 yr old gets dumped on because she chooses to look at this young man from the outside not from his looks or what she heard ? It sickens me that we are so petty in our views of those who are labeled differently !
There are reports and after talking to some folks personally I confirm the young man wasn't bullied but victimized in school. Nobody cared and no one stopped it. But again we have hundreds of people who scream on their righteous soap box “it's not an excuse” ! Yes there is no excuse for his actions Saturday night. It doesn't mean you victimize his family and friends to feel better.
But alas, as a society we continue to turn our backs on children with special needs. We turn our backs on mental health because you know they all belong locked up. We turn our backs on anyone or anything that doesn't seem“the norm” because it's uncomfortable or we can't cope.
Ladies and gentleman we have a problem as a society in that we prefer to not want to face the reality that we have a mental health crisis and issues with our youth. Stop letting the mainstream media play with your train of thought. Let's start treating those people that are not “right” with dignity and compassion. Rather than shunning them with hatred.
Because at the end of the day it takes a village to raise a child... and that's the long and the short of it.
Good night and god bless.

Recently, I’ve come to the conclusion that SoCal Indies are pretty incestuous. Maybe not as much as the South, or the newest videos available at Extreme Associates, but it’s pretty ridiculous to see so many of the same wrestlers in every single fed. Now first and for most, I am not trying to put down any of the wrestlers for taking the bookings. I can totally understand taking work whenever and wherever it’s available. It puts food on the table, pays the bills, and gives you more avenues to be noticed.
Maybe I’m losing you, but I remember when I first started going to Independent wrestling shows and seeing guys I’d never seen before. I was surprised about how well some of these guys wrestled and some of the stunts they were willing to pull for a handful of people. But over-saturation of the local Indy scene dilutes the so-called “dream matches” when you can see them on a regular basis touring the SoCal Indy circuit. B-Boy and Pinoy Boy continue to have 5 star matches, but it takes away from the action when you’ve seen that match in three different organizations. I think something should be said about exclusiveness. I think I’ve seen Joey Ryan work in every organization outside of XPW. UPW just put a match between B-Boy, Frankie the Future, and Spanky. It was an awesome match that was filled with spots. It told a great story. It incorporated a rich wrestling saga. But for Christ’s sake, I’ve seen these guys wrestle variations of each other so many times, I couldn’t get into it.
OK, I’m about to do something very unpopular right now. I’m about to give XPW some credit. Before you cast your stones, listen. XPW has a variety of characters on its roster. Not all the wrestlers in XPW are exclusively XPW, but the big names on the roster are. You don’t see Kaos anywhere but XPW. You don’t see Mexico’s Most Wanted unless it’s in TJ. And you can only see Shane Douglas if you live on the East Coast. You also won’t see Supreme at the Marketplace. Are these the greatest wrestlers in the world? Probably not. But what they are, are the champions of XPW, and you won’t see them wrestle anywhere else in SoCal.
UPW tries to do this similarly. Not nearly as well, but when was the last show you saw Tom Howard wrestle at, that wasn’t part of a UPW show? Back when Nathan Jones and Jon Heidenrich were still around, they wrestled exclusive for UPW and I believe John Cena (Prototype) did as well. With UPW’s relationship with WWE, UPW was able to keep most of its roster off of other shows. They lost that ability, and I look at that as being a bad thing. Looking at UPW’s event on the 15th of August, Tom Howard faced off against Keiji Sakoda. Now for some of you, you’re thinking whatever. But for the past nine months, Sakoda hasn’t really been in SoCal, with the exception of one match. The only place you can see Howard wrestle is in UPW and Zero-One. So, this match already had some mystic to it, because this match isn’t something you’ll see anywhere else. These two guys put on a hell of a performance and I for one was impressed with the back and forth action. I wasn’t keen on the ending, but that’s why I’m not the booker man!
Certain guys should have to maintain an exclusive status. I like the fact that there are only three places I’m going to be able to see Super Dragon: Rev Pro, EPIC, and EPIC TV. With that being said, it kind of disappoints me that I can see a lot of the top draws of SoCal everywhere else I see wrestling. It takes away from the importance of not just the match they are wrestling, but also all of the matches they are wrestling.
“But wait Jay Cal, I like to see interpromotional matches. I like seeing B-Boy taking on Super Dragon and I like seeing Hardkore Kidd taking on Frankie Kazarian.” That’s the beauty of it. On the rare, and let me repeat that for effect, on the RARE occasion that these talents do fight, there will be a considerable amount of hype. Otherwise, we’re doomed for the same predictable matches with the same predictable endings. Until UPW or EPIC step up and designate wrestlers who are beyond sharing, I guess we’ll see the same matches on the same shows. Don’t get me wrong. I think the lower to mid-card guys should have an opportunity to wrestle wherever. But I feel that promotions should reserve the right to not share their top draws and main event guys.

Environmentalists say Brazil greenhouse gas emissions rise 8 percent
A Brazilian network of environmental groups says emission levels of greenhouse gases in Latin America's biggest country were almost 8 percent higher in 2013 than one year earlier.
The Observatorio do Clima, or Climate Observatory, is comprised of more than 30 non-governmental organizations focused on climate change.
In a report released Wednesday it says greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 1.57 billion metric tons in 2013 compared to 1.45 billion metric tons in 2012.
The increase represents a reversal in the trend that started in 2005 when emissions of greenhouse gases dropped year-by-year as deforestation levels fell, the report said.
The report says soil use changes in 2013 accounted for 16.48 percent of the emissions while emissions from the energy sector accounted for 7.8 percent.

The Hidden Danger: How Asbestos Causes Lung Cancer
Updated: Sep 13
Asbestos, a once-popular construction and insulation material, has left a dark legacy in the realm of public health. While its use has significantly declined in recent decades, the consequences of past exposure continue to haunt many individuals. Among the numerous health risks associated with asbestos, perhaps the most notorious is its link to lung cancer. In this blog post, we will explore the insidious relationship between asbestos and lung cancer, shedding light on the reasons behind this deadly connection.
Before delving into the connection with lung cancer, it's essential to understand what asbestos is. Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals known for their remarkable resistance to heat, fire, and corrosion. Due to these properties, it was once widely used in various industries, including construction, shipbuilding, and automotive manufacturing.
The Link to Lung Cancer
Inhalation of Asbestos Fibers: Asbestos-related lung cancer primarily arises from the inhalation of tiny asbestos fibers, which can become airborne when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or deteriorate over time. These fibers are so minuscule that they can be inhaled deep into the lungs, where they may remain embedded for years or even decades.
Chronic Inflammation and Cellular Damage: Once lodged in the lungs, asbestos fibers can trigger chronic inflammation and tissue damage. The body's immune response attempts to remove these foreign invaders, but asbestos fibers are incredibly durable, making them resistant to degradation.
Transformation of Healthy Cells: Prolonged exposure to asbestos can lead to genetic mutations and changes in the DNA of lung cells. This cellular damage can result in the transformation of once-healthy lung cells into cancerous ones. Over time, these mutated cells can multiply uncontrollably, forming a tumor in the lungs.
Synergistic Effects: The risk of asbestos-related lung cancer is significantly heightened when combined with other risk factors, such as smoking. Smokers who are exposed to asbestos are at a particularly elevated risk of developing lung cancer. This combination of risk factors can lead to a synergistic effect, where the risk is greater than the sum of each individual risk factor.
Latency Period and Diagnosis
One of the most challenging aspects of asbestos-related lung cancer is its lengthy latency period. It can take several decades for symptoms to manifest after initial exposure, making early diagnosis difficult. By the time symptoms like persistent cough, chest pain, and difficulty breathing become apparent, the cancer may have reached an advanced stage.
Prevention and Protection
Preventing asbestos-related lung cancer begins with awareness and proactive measures:
Avoid Asbestos Exposure: If you live or work in a building constructed before the 1980s, it's crucial to be aware of the presence of asbestos-containing materials. Always hire a trained professional for asbestos inspections and removal if necessary.
Occupational Safety: Workers in industries at risk of asbestos exposure should follow strict safety guidelines, including the use of personal protective equipment and adhering to recommended workplace practices.
Smoking Cessation: For individuals who have been exposed to asbestos, quitting smoking is essential to reduce the risk of developing lung cancer. Smoking and asbestos exposure have a multiplicative effect on lung cancer risk.
Asbestos-related lung cancer serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of past industrial practices and the importance of vigilance in the present. Understanding the link between asbestos exposure and lung cancer is crucial for both prevention and early detection. By raising awareness and implementing safety measures, we can work toward reducing the incidence of this devastating disease and protecting the health of future generations.


The end of the football season can be an unwelcome prospect for many football-loving fans and after 380 games of Premier League football the season has come to a close.
To overcome the blues, CitroŽn has created the 'Football Fan's Survival Guide', which suggests a top 10 list of things to do in the closed season. CitroŽn has also teamed up with Arsenal Football Club to release a parody music video.
Starring Arsenal Football Club's Aaron Ramsey, Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny, CitroŽn and Arsenal have created a music video of the famous '90s hit 'Return of the Mack', entitled 'Return of the Fan'.
The tongue-in-cheek two and a half minute music video, which features the CitroŽn C1, C4 Cactus and Grand C4 Picasso, tells the story of Arsenal fans returning home to 'real life' following the end of what has been a great season for the club. It sees the Arsenal players transfer their pitch perfect footballing skills to smooth flowing dance moves.
While Arsenal and Aston Villa fans still have the FA Cup Final to look forward to this weekend, they too will shortly be joining the rest of the football-loving nation in contemplating how to spend the next couple of months without watching their favourite club in action; so they'll need the guide, too.

text: TV Ben Stiller Show, The (Fox-HBO 1992, Janeane Garafolo, Bob Odenkirk) Published 2 years ago on April 2, 2017 Emmy, schmemmy. Comedian Stiller’s sketch comedy show, which won an Emmy for comedy writing after its cancellation, is another fine example of how critical praise and cult status can’t save a show if there aren’t enough people in the cult. Axed by Fox after just 12 episodes (and a “lost” 13th installment that aired later on Comedy Central), the quirkily clever series costarred Janeane Garofalo, Andy Dick and Bob Odenkirk, who added original comedy bits, hilarious TV parodies and playful slaps at celebs like Tony Robbins, Kevin Costner and Woody Allen. From “Melrose Heights, 902102402” and “Amish Studs” to “Cops in Egypt” and “America’s Most Suspicious” (hosted by Danny Bonaduce), no television entity was safe from the Stiller gang’s satire. Of course, given that both Melrose Place and Beverly Hills, 90210 were staples of the Fox lineup at that time, perhaps The Ben Stiller Show ruffled too many feathers. Still, many of the sketches proved memorable, including riffs on musicians like Bono and Bruce Springsteen, whom Stiller once hilariously parodied in a Sesame Street-like skit called “Counting with Bruce Springsteen.” Among the best original material were “Low-Budget Tales of Clichéd Horror,” “Bad Twist Ending Theater” and “The Pig Latin Ariety-Vay Ectacular-Spay,” which was the best of the cast’s many Pig Latin-themed shorts. Funny stuff–until the atings-ray ailed-fay to attract an arge-lay ase-bay of iewers-vay. production details USA / Fox-HBO / 13×25 minute episodes / Broadcast 27 September 1992 – 31 January 1993 cast Ben Stiller Andy Dick Janeane Garofalo Bob Odenkirk John F.

Building Better Cities with Car Free Days
The second part of this two-part series highlights how mandating car free days helps people understand the value of less congestion, while also building social validation that shared mobility is a viable source for alternative transportation options.
Instead, people are encouraged to use alternative transportation options, which has traditionally involved walking, biking, and public transportation. As of recently, shared mobility has also been added to the mix. From carsharing to ridesharing, these options can provide first and last mile options to supplement the distance where walking and public transportation is less feasible.
Understandably, some people rely on their private vehicles out of necessity, like consultants or field workers. However, for those who make the average two trips a day to and from work, transportation options can and should be reassessed.
Expert Interviews, Shared Mobility
Guest article: Seven key questions about shared mobility tenders answered
We interview specialists from Fluctuo to share their thoughts on the impact of city tenders and regulations on the shared mobility market in Europe.

KEY SCRIPTURE: John 8:44 KJV Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
The Lord went on to say that Satan is a murderer. Coupling this trait and his lust makes him, one that no man must underrate in any way.
A story is told about an elderly woman who kept a python as her pet. She has been feeding the reptile from babyhood, till it grew to become huge. After some time this creature will not eat, whenever the woman gave it food. She was worried so she informed a zoologist about it. The man told her, ‘your pet was staying away from food to swallow you up since you would be the first large prey she has ever swallowed’. A murderer is a murderer any day.
The Lord said the thief would not come, but when he comes then he is in to steal, kill and destroy. John 10:10b.
Now if men would have to die to receive a transition into a higher state in the presence of God, then the devil might be serving God’s purpose in murdering them. This is not the case. God calls death, the last enemy.1Co 15:26 KJV “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” The word of God instructs us to glorify God in our body and in our spirit. (1 Corinth 6:20).
God’s plan for men to exit this life is either by living bodily as in the case of Enoch, and Elijah, or after fulfilling the purposes for which God brought him or her into this life, he steps into eternity not weak, diseased or the body totally humiliated. The Patriarchs were full of years and left not sick. Jacob on his death bed sat up when Joseph visited with his sons and blessed them before he gave up the ghost.
Satan does not have the authority to take anyone’s life. Heb 2:14 KJV” Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” In Rev 1:18, the Lord appeared to John and said, the keys of death and hell are in his hands. This means the right to call a person from this life is in the Lord’s hands. It is completely against God’s will for Satan to kill anyone. The tools of the devil is sin, sickness and then death. It is up to us to learn these truths to resist the devil from tormenting men with diseases and ultimately killing them. Jesus through His death destroyed or paralysed the devil. Heb 2:14
All these pandemics are illegal programmes of Satan to murder men. If men would use the scriptures to oppose him, We would see more victories over sicknesses and untimely deaths. Jas 4:7 KJV “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Satan is an illegal murderer. I have received the life of God and a partaker of the divine nature. I have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. I resist every illegality of the devil in my life in Jesus name.
THOUGHT: SATAN HAS POWER TO THE DEGREE, YOU ALLOW HIM.
John 10:10 KJV “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
1Peter 5:8 KJV “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”

Two West Berkshire restaurants are celebrating after retaining their Michelin stars.
The Woodspeen, in Woodspeen and The Blackbird, in Bagnor, both kept their one star despite a hugely challenging year for the hospitality industry.
In the last 12 months, both restaurants have been forced to close three times, furlough staff and adapt to the ever-changing Covid-19 guidelines.
However, they can raise a glass to a rare bit of good news today (Tuesday) after being named in the prestigious Michelin Guide 2021.
The Woodspeen retained its star for the fifth year running despite the departure of former Chef Patron John Campbell in 2020.
Director of Operations at The Woodspeen Alesandro Fasoli (pictured below) said: "It is brilliant to have been awarded with a Michelin Star for the fifth year in a row.
"It is a clear sign that the guide recognises the consistently high performance of the world class-team we have in place at The Woodspeen.
"Executive Chef Peter Eaton and Head Chef Olly Rouse are a culinary force and they rightly deserve this award.
"We are very happy that the team have managed to maintain the high standards that are required to get this award in what has been a very challenging time.
"I would like to thanks all our guests who continue to support us year on year and the talented team in place who have given their all during the past year, no matter the restrictions, obstacles and changes.
"The team and I are looking forward to welcoming you all back for more of the same when restrictions are lifted.”
Owner and head chef at The Blackbird Dom Robinson (pictured below) said: "It means an awful lot. 2020 was a very tough year personally and from a business point of view so to get this means the world to me.
"I want to say a big thank you to the team, who have been amazing throughout.
"Getting a Michelin star was something I had dreamt about since I was 16 years old so when we finally got it three years ago it really was a dream come true.
"The fact we have retained it for the third year running, it means just as much to me today as it did three years ago.
"I got Imposter Syndrome when we first got the star. I didn't feel like I deserved it or was good enough.
"So to me, it's validation that I am good enough."
Both restaurants are currently closed due to the national lockdown, but have managed to come up with imaginative and creative ways to continue providing a service to their customers.
The Woodspeen has introduced a new concept called 'Woodspeen at Home', where it offers a pick up or delivery of three course menus designed by its Michelin star chefs.
The menus are finalised by the guests at home, with the help of a step-by-step video from the chefs through a QR code.
The Blackbird, meanwhile, is offering takeaways on Friday and Saturday nights, a takeaway roast dinner on a Sunday and takeaway pizza from noon to 3pm at weekends.

A few weeks ago, I went to Kristiansand and my dear friend Maren introduced me to these coco-crunch they are gluten free, and contain no sugar.
She bought it from Funky fresh food, it was the most delicious treat ever!
It saved the container that had the ingredients on it and today I made my own version.
It was my first time making anything raw, I use everything organic and there is no sugar instead I used agave.
While you make it, if you feel the need to add more liquid to make it come together, you can add more agave, or if you want less sweet add coconut oil.
Best of luck and let me know if you liked it.
100 % NATURAL COCOCRUNCH (INSPIRED BY A VISIT TO FUNKY FRESH FOOD) MAKES ABOUT 15 PIECES
- 150 GRAM OATS
- 100 GRAM BUCKWHEAT (FLAKES)

- 100 GRAM GOOD QUALITY COCOA POWDER, SIFTED
- 1 TBSP. FREEZE – DRYING COFFEE
- 2 TSPN. VANILLA BEAN PASTE
- ½ TSPN. MALDON SEA SALT
- 100 ML RAW AGAVE NATURELL
- 100 ML RAW COCONUT OIL
In a food processor mix together all the ingredients until the mixture comes together like a dough.
Take a small amount in your hands and form small balls.
Roll the balls in the shredded coconut.
Refrigerate for at least 5 hours before you enjoy!
THESE COCOCRUNCH IS BEST KEPT IN THE REFRIGERATOR UNTIL YOU ENJOY THESE.
