(CN) – The U.S. Forest Service gave proper approval to logging and road construction in southeast Alaska’s Tongass National Forest, a Ninth Circuit panel ruled Tuesday.
The legal dispute centers around logging on Prince of Wales Island, which contains old-growth rainforest and is the largest in the archipelago.
In an attempt to boost the region’s economy, the Forest Service approved logging on more than 6,000 acres of the island and construction of more than 80 miles of roads.
A number of environmental groups challenged the project, which they say threatens the habitat of the rare Alexander Archipelago wolf.
That wolf, originally believed to be a distinct subspecies of the gray wolf, resides in southeast Alaska, isolated by water and mountains.
Because of its unique habitat, the Alexander Archipelago wolf is more sensitive to disturbances like logging, environmentalists say.
The wolf preys on Sitka black-tailed deer, and advocates say a decrease in deer population caused by logging will in turn harm the wolf population. While the wolf is not currently listed as an endangered species, there are ongoing efforts by conservation groups for government protection.
When adopting the logging plan, called Big Thorne, the Forest Service addressed the wolf and deer populations. It encouraged the agency to provide enough habitat that could support 18 deer per square mile, and guidelines on road density.
A number of environmental groups sued, and the actions were consolidated in Alaska’s federal court. The court found for all the government defendants in 2015.
“It is clear that the plaintiffs desire the 2008 forest plan to include an explicit value for the minimum deer-habitat capability necessary to support viability of wolf populations, as well as a numerical value for road density,” U.S. District Judge Ralph Beistline wrote in 2015. “However, plaintiffs have not pointed to any specific statutory requirement for such an explicit minimum threshold, nor does this court find there to be any.”
The environmentalists appealed to the Ninth Circuit, which on Tuesday upheld the decision to allow the logging.
Agreeing with Beistline’s reasoning, Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski noted the logging plan required the Forest Service to maintain deer habitat “when possible.”
“This is an aspiration, not an obligation,” Kozinski wrote, agreeing with the lower court that the plan gave the agency the discretion and flexibility it needed for the logging, and did not violate the National Forest Management Act.
“The service met its legal obligations, and plaintiffs’ remaining challenges to the forest plan – a potpourri of contentions that the service misinterpreted one thing or failed to consider another – amount to the sort of quibbling that can’t overcome our deferential standard of review,” Kozinski wrote.
“Depending on the circumstances, lumber might be more important than wolves. And even when wolves are more important than lumber, it might be better to build fewer roads rather than allow for more deer. Courts are not well-equipped to police the substance of these judgments.”
In a sharp dissent, Circuit Judge Ronald Gould disagreed with the majority’s analysis of the National Forest Management Act.
“The majority poses the issue as a choice between wolves and jobs, but it is not so simple as that,” Gould wrote.
The judge took issue with the majority’s parsing of the terms “viable” versus “sustainable” as it related to wolf populations.
“The agency is not obligated to provide a sustainable wolf population, but it must ensure viable wolf populations consistent with its substantive obligation under [forest management rules],” Gould wrote.
Noting the populations of wolves and deer depend on each other, Gould argued the logging plan does not adequately account for deer habitat.
“The record is too sparse for definitive conclusion, and what evidence exists in the record shows drastically decreasing wolf population over the past decades and a project that diminishes deer habitat capability, further threatening the wolves,” Gould wrote.
A Justice Department representative said the agency is pleased with the court’s decision.
Buck Lindekugel, attorney with the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, said the organization was reviewing the “disappointing decision” and that there is no longer room for large-scale timber projects in Tongass National Forest.
“In fact, there is broad agreement across the region that it is time to end soon this kind of logging on the Tongass,” Lindekugel said in an email. “Our economic prosperity depends on vibrant, healthy old-growth forests to support the economic drivers of our region – world-class fishing, hunting, recreation and tourism.”
The battle over logging and land management in Tongass is ongoing.
Earlier this year, Rep. Don Young of Alaska introduced a bill to allow states to acquire up to 2 million acres of federal land for timber production. Critics like Lindekugel say it would harm the economic benefits the state enjoys from outdoor recreation.
And last year, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal by Alaska challenging the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which protects parts of Tongass from road development.

What Can Happen If You Feed Your Pet Your Holiday Feasts?
Many pet owners want their pets to feel like a part of the action at the holidays. They give their pets gifts, dress their pets up in sweaters and Santa hats, and they even feed their pets from the holiday feast. Knowing what can happen if you decide to feed your pet people food at the holidays can impact the precautions you take to protect your pet.
What can happen if you feed your pet your holiday feasts?
The answer to this depends on what you feed your pet, how much you feed your pet, how big your pet is and whether or not your pet is used to eating people food. If your pet is already used to eating people food, and you feed them safe foods in moderate amounts, your pet can enjoy your food as much as you do. However, there are many foods that are prevalent at the holidays that can be dangerous for pets.
What foods are dangerous for pets?
The list of dangerous foods is long. The foods mentioned below are some of the most dangerous food products commonly served at the holidays:
- Grapes and raisins (found in cranberry sauce and salads)
- Turkey skin and turkey bones
- Onions, leaks and other related foods
- Sweets and foods high in fat
If you want to feed your pet some special holiday foods, what should you do?
If you want to feed your pet food from your holiday feasts, there are several smart choices you can make that will protect your pet.
- Talk to your pet's vet about the menu before feeding anything to your animal friend. Your pet's veterinarian can approve the items on the menu and help you avoid dangerous food products. You may also consider asking your pet's veterinarian if he or she can recommend any recipes that you can make specially for your pet that will be safe for him or her to eat.
- Avoid the temptation to feed your pet straight from your dinner table. Your pet needs to realize that there are boundaries, and that your food is not free for the taking. Put the food in your pet's dish before serving the food at the table. This will signal to your pet that food on the table is still off limits, and may prevent your pet from helping him or herself later on.
- Keep the phone number for a pet hospital on hand, just in case your pet starts to show symptoms of illness after eating.
If your pet starts to behave differently after the meal, showing signs of disorientation, lethargy, vomiting or diarrhea, contact the pet hospital, like Orange Grove Animal Hospital, right away.

The theme of the new issue of The Wire is maximalism. It's a really enjoyable read that explores the appeal (or repulsion-edging-into-fascination) of musical manifestations of aesthetic excess and sonic surplus.
There's Greg Tate on P-Funk, Michaelangelo Matos on psy-trance (complete with ultra-garish photo of Shpongle and their audience!), Daniel Wilson on the history of explosives in music, David Toop on syrupy strings in countrypolitan and soul, and many other treats. There's also me with a piece about overcoming postpunk less-is-more conditioning and learning to take pleasure in guitar solos.
Now that was a really fun piece to write. Not least because I remade the acquaintance of some overloaded and obese tracks that I hadn't listened to in many a year. I couldn't quite put back on the head that wigged out to Butthole Surfers and ransacked Bataille's Visions of Excess for a conceptual language adequate to the soiling immensity torrenting out of Paul Leary's axe. But Royal Trux's ruined majesty sounds as glorious as ever.

‘Are we there yet?’ On a long road trip, perhaps you’ve asked or heard this question.
Let’s direct this question to the state of urban flood risk management in Pacific Island countries. In this case, the ‘destination’ is flood-resilient communities.
For Pacific Island countries, no, we’re not there yet, but are we heading in the right direction?

In Africa, estimates indicate that an annual investment of $93 billion is required to address the continent’s basic infrastructure needs – more than double the current level of investment.
The lack of productive investment of resource revenues, with spending of these revenues often heavily tilted towards consumption, is a critical component of the so-called resource curse, the observation that countries rich in natural resources frequently have slow long-term growth. Following oil or mineral discoveries, as the expectation of increased wealth spreads, pressures to spend typically become hard for politicians to resist, public sector salaries go through the roof, wasteful spending increases, corruption may flourish, hidden foreign bank accounts may be established, and the number of unproductive “white elephant” projects grows.
How can resource-rich countries ensure that a large share of oil, gas, and mining revenues are used for productive investment rather than excessive or wasteful consumption?
But this entrepreneurial city cannot afford to be stuck in traffic. Things started moving in 2008, when Lagos introduced Africa's first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor with technical support from the World Bank under the Lagos Urban Transport Project. The corridor was referred to as BRT-lite, a local adaptation that did not apply all the "classical" features of a BRT (level loading, fancy stations) but was well integrated with the local environment and became immediately successful. In fact, the operator was able to recoup its capital investment in the bus fleet in 18 months even without banning competitor services. The BRT services demonstrated that improving the erstwhile chaotic system was indeed possible.
Building on this success, Lagos has taken steps to improve and expand the reach of the BRT. The Second Lagos Urban Transport Project (LUTP2), supported jointly by the World Bank and the French Development Agency, provided about $325 million in 2009 toward building a 13-km extension of the BRT corridor between Mile 12 and the satellite town of Ikorodu. In addition to the BRT infrastructure, the project financed the rehabilitation and widening of the road from four to six lanes, the construction of pedestrian overpasses, a bus depot, terminals, a road bridge, measures to enhance flood resilience, as well as improved interchange and transfer facilities.
Niger is one of the world’s poorest countries (44.5% of poverty incidence in 2014). The country faces a number of challenges in meeting the national (PROSEHA, the National Program for sustainable development) and global targets to increase access to sanitation and potable water, particularly in rural areas where the access to water is 44.2% and 7% for sanitation (2015 Ministry of Water and Sanitation data).
Overcoming these challenges while satisfying increasing demands for better or expanded service, the government began investigating options that bring in the know-how of the private sector. This has led to a growing domestic private sector provision of services in Niger.
I’m no stranger to either platform. I get most of my news through Twitter, and my daughter sends me messages from class on Hangouts (hi dady [sic], school is sooooo boring :P).
This time, however, I was engaging with giants of the public-private partnership (PPP) universe. Laurence Carter, the Senior Director of the World Bank Group’s PPP Group, moderated a panel of seasoned experts from EBRD, the Indian School of Business, and Meridiam, an investor in infrastructure. Together they provided perspectives on PPPs from international financial institutions, academia and the private sector. I joined about 200 other people from around the world and watched it live. But something was different: you could interact with the panel from afar and ask questions via Twitter using the hashtag #PPPMOOC (go check it out).
I was aching to test the system, so I tweeted a question about the value of small PPPs at the municipal level, like the Malyn Biofuel PPP I blogged about recently. I could hardly believe it when Laurence asked the panel for their views on the subject. How incredible: from Ukraine, I was influencing the course of discussion of a panel of PPP experts in London! They talked about it for five minutes and offered some valuable insights.
Kazakh scientists navigate this winding, unpredictable road for years and generally come to the realization that great scientific research is not enough in itself. Too often, they face a lack of support when it comes to applying the results of their scientific research in a useful, practical way.
Fortunately, a team of Kazakh scientists at the Private Entity Institute of Polymer Materials and Technology in Almaty has had a somewhat more positive experience. This team has been working on a truly innovative project: developing a solution to improving the recovery of oil from old oil wells in Kazakhstan.
But why, you might ask?

Hardcover. The standard reference source for the fundamentals of psychology study - the 1993 Survey of Social Science: Psychology - is now massively revised, redesigned, and updated. Mag.Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability. 1200 pages. 5.960. N° de ref. de la librería
Sinopsis: "A comprehensive introduction to psychology, this work will find a home in a broad range of library collections. Each topical entry includes notes on the type of psychology and field of study covered, a list of key concepts related to the essay, and an annotated list of sources for further study. Entries on mental disorders include sidebars with the characteristic criteria for that diagnosis. High school students, undergraduates, and others will find a wealth of information in this useful set."--"The Top20 Reference Titles of the Year," American Libraries, May 2004.Covers a variety of topics in psychology, including disorders, treatments, diagnoses, tests, and notable figures in the field.
From Booklist: This update and major revision of the Survey of Social Science: Psychology Series (1993) is a change in style as well as name. Not only are there fewer volumes (four rather than six), but the content has been made more accessible to the general reader and high-school or lower-division college student. Instead of standardized style and organization, the new edition varies the presentation as the editor and contributors felt appropriate for the content. There are 177 new entries, and 103 have been revised. The remaining 162 appeared in the original.
Each volume has a complete list of entries, which vary from one to eight pages in length. There is also a categorized list of entries under 66 broader subjects (such as "Emotion," "Psychopathology," "Sleep"). Each entry begins with a statement of the type of psychology and the fields of study into which the information falls. All essays in the 1993 version had standard subheadings, but many of these have been reformatted, with subheadings tailored to fit the topic. There may be a short summary statement and a list of key concepts, as appropriate. Each entry is accompanied by a short annotated bibliography of "Sources for Further Study." These are followed by see also recommendations.
Volume 4 includes a lengthy detailed index to the set. It also has a 25-page glossary and an annotated bibliography divided into categories. This is followed by a Web site directory of associations, academic informational sites, mental health and self-help organizations, and other psychologically related sites. Of special interest is the "Mediagraphy" of films and television programs dealing with psychiatric or psychological issues. "Organization and Support Groups" is a directory of North American and international services, associations, foundations, and societies. An 11-page summary of pharmaceuticals used for depression, anxiety, and other disorders includes brief commentary, generic and trade names, dosages, and side effects. One-paragraph biographies of 60 prominent psychologists (some of whom are also the subjects of encyclopedia entries) appear in the "Biographical List of Psychologists." The supplementary information section is topped off by a list of references to notable court cases from 1843 to 2002 involving psychological issues.
Much has happened in the last 10 years, both in psychology and in people's information expectations, making the revision worth considering for libraries catering to an interested lay public, high-school students, and beginning college students. It also appears to be a useful ready-reference tool for librarians. RBB

2007 - 2013 CHEVROLET / GMC PICKUPS AND FULL SIZE SUV
GREASE-ABLE DOOR HINGE ROLLER CHECK PIN
COG LEVER PIN AND BUSHING KIT
FITS FRONT DOORS AND CREW CAB DOORS
Part # 0711RP-G
The 2007 to current General Motors T900 series of vehicles has been designed with non-serviceable door roller pin and bushing, as well as a non-serviceable cog pin and bushing. Our leadership in the ever changing door hinge pin and bushing replacement market provides an opportunity for those vehicles to be easily serviced with our premium replacement kit.
Our kit negates the need for, and high cost of, complete hinge replacement, which is the only other option in this case. The cost of replacing the original hinges, in parts alone, carries a dealer cost of almost $200.00 per door. Combined with shop time and paint, the OE solution could cost close to $800.00 per door. This is a major expense for something as simple as replacing a squeaky or worn door check roller.
By correcting the worn bushing problems with high quality stainless steel pins and self lubricating bronze and bronze alloy bushings, this repair proves friendly to the consumer’s wallet. The repair results in years of squeak free door closing. The premium solution provided by KSSD Inc. is safe, technically sound, cosmetically appealing and inexpensive. It requires simple tools, a little “know-how” provided through complete instructions and involves no virtually no paint shop time.
Each kit comes complete with parts and attaching hardware to successfully complete the repair on either front door, lower hinge roller check.
- Easy removal and replacement with common shop tools
- Complete replacement of cog pin and bushing and roller pin and roller
- Corrects squeaky or knocking door openings due to pin/ roller bushing wear
- Saves money by not having to replace entire hinges
- Little to no paint time required
- Top quality, grease-able Stainless Steel pins
- Top quality Bronze and bronze and bronze alloy bushings
- Stainless steel material provides a grey appearance, great wear resistance, rustproof, paintable (optional) and strong
- Steel, prevailing torque, low profile, lock nuts provide longer wear and a tidy appearance

People will tell you that these ribs are the best they've ever had!! The secret is in the baking. You don't want the meat to be overcooked so it doesn't stay on the ribs, but yet you want it to come off easily when you eat it. It's hard to say exactly how long your oven will take to reach the perfect tenderness ... but time described here is in the ball park. Judging perfectly baked ribs requires a skilled cook .. you know who you are!
1Rinse off ribs and put them in a large, foil-lined, baking pan. Mix all other ingredients, except bottled BBQ sauce, in a blender and blend well .. about a minute. Pour sauce over ribs, cover with foil and marinate for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature.
2Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake ribs for one hour, covered. Remove foil cover and bake for another hour or longer, until ribs very easily cut or shred when a knife is inserted between ribs.
3Pour off all but 1/2 cup of the marinade (You might save the rest of the marinade for dipping, if desired). Mix this half cup of marinade in a bowl with 2 cups of your favorite bottled BBQ sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray's). Spread mixture with a basting brush or spoon on .. skin side up .. of the ribs. Broil on high for 5 minutes. Very carefully turn ribs slabs over with tongs (so the meat doesn't begin to fall off the bones) and spread the remaining BBQ sauce mixture on the meat side of the ribs and broil for another 5 minutes or until slightly browned. If you don't want to broil in the oven, you can then transfer the ribs with the BBQ sauce onto an outdoor grill to brown. Cut ribs and serve.

A long-time family favorite. The authentic stands use Vienna Beef franks and buns with poppy seeds and that trademark green relish and yellow mustard. If you're not fortunate enough to live near a stand (like us), this home version does nicely (with my own preferred changes of course)! The natural casing frankfurters have a pleasant "pop" when you bite them and are far superior to normal hot dogs. I don't advise using serranos in place of sport peppers as they are not the same type of chile and the serranos are MUCH hotter (as well as not usually being found pickled).
- 4 natural casing beef frankfurters (I like Boar's Head brand)
- 4 hot dog buns (with poppyseeds if you can find them)
- 1 small onion, diced fine
- 3 -4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish (bright green type if you can find it!)
- 1 cold-pack kosher dill pickle, quartered lengthwise
- 1 small tomatoes, sliced into julienne strips
- 4 -8 pickled sport bell peppers or 4 -8 tiny hot peppers (Kroger sells these)
- dusseldorf-style brown mustard, with horseradish,to taste (may use yellow mustard)
- celery seed
- poppy seed (omit if using seeded buns)
- beer, for simmering (standard golden lager preferred; not authentic) (optional)
- Simmer frankfurters in beer or water for approximately 10 minutes.
- Warm buns in microwave, until slightly warm and soft.
- To assemble hot dogs, place frank in each bun.
- Add mustard to taste; top with dill spear, relish, onion, tomato, and 1-2 sport peppers (Jalapenos"might" be a reasonable substitute if you are desperate to find the sport peppers, but the taste won't be quite the same).
- Sprinkle with celery and poppy seeds.
I never had a Chicago-Style hot dog before and was really excited about trying this. I could not find the sport peppers, but they turned out good anyway.
I get an urge for these hot dogs and was not sure how to make them myself until I found this recipe. I especially loved it with the hot peppers. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Yumm Yumm!!!! I love Chicago-style hot dogs the best and I loved the suggestion of simmering the hot dogs in beer. I used good ole' Budweiser to simmer. They cooked perfectly and tasted just like ball-park hot dogs!! Next, I read in a magazine that the way to make the relish the beautiful bright green type is to just add a drop of green food coloring and a drop of yellow food coloring and blend well. We bit the tip off the little sport peppers (Vlasic hot chili peppers) and sprinkled the juice over the hot dogs and it was just perfect. The celery seed makes them taste authentic. I used a little celery salt too (because I saw that in the magazine that I got the relish tip in.) These were the best Chicago dogs I've ever had!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!

Posted Thu Sep 23rd by Monty
Streak: Won 1
Series vs. Denver: 7-11
Last time: Colts, 28-16, 2009
The Line: Colts by 5.5
The Houston Texans shocked the Colts in Week One, but the New York Giants failed (miserably) in their bid to repeat the feat. The Colts dominated the G-Men and showed the NFL that either their first week was a fluke, or the Texans are really stinking good.
Who’s hot: QB Peyton Manning. OK, when is Peyton Manning not hot? But the fact remains: Manning leads the league in passing yards (688) and is the NFL’s 2nd-rated passer. He’s also the only quarterback averaging over 300 yards per game yet to throw an interception. Is it possible the league’s best quarterback nearly every year for the past decade keeps getting better?
Who’s not: The Colts rush defense, thanks largely to Texans RB Arian Foster‘s ridiculous numbers in Week One. The unit ranks last in the league (allowing 188.5 rushing yards per game). They allowed 120 rushing yards against New York last week, which is a decent number, but it’s less than half of the 257 they allowed to Houston. Even though it’s easily the team’s biggest weakness, they’re clearly working on improving it.
Matchup to watch: Broncos coverage vs. returners Devin Moore and Jerraud Powers. Seriously. The Colts’ average starting field position is the 29-yard line (16th in the league) — if the Broncos can keep Indy back there, they might stand a chance. But the Broncos have allowed embarrassingly big returns to both Jacksonville and Seattle, and the Colts are 2nd in the league in average yards per drive with 49.5. This game will come down to outscoring and making fewer mistakes than the Colts — they can’t afford to give Peyton Manning a short field, even once.

VATICAN CITY, OCT. 27, 2009 (Zenit.org).- The Vatican’s media council is meeting this week in Rome to work on a pastoral instruction that will demonstrate a willingness to dialogue with the “digital culture.”
Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli, president of the Vatican council, spoke of the need for a new instruction on the mean of communication when he addressed the plenary assembly of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, under way through Thursday.
The last document of pastoral guidance for the Church’s communicative commitment — “Aetatis Novae” — was issued in 1992.
Since then, Archbishop Celli told the assembly, communication “has not only changed its rhythm, but in some cases also its nature.”
The draft presented by the council was written with the help of “academic experts in the art of communication,” explained the Italian prelate.
The draft “addresses only some aspects,” he added “We have not wished to enunciate the pastoral prospects for the future as the latter should arise from the work of this plenary assembly.
“It is for us to single out and specify the prospects at the pastoral level that might be of help for the local Churches in this field.”
As a guideline, Archbishop Celli noted that the pastoral program should offer “a clear willingness for a frank and open dialogue with the ‘digital culture.'”
The plenary assembly will also evaluate the council’s activity since the appointment of Archbishop Celli — on July 27, 2007 — as its president.
During that time the media council has worked to establish a working relationship with the three faculties of communication of the pontifical universities in Rome, as well as with those of other universities around the world.
To that end, the council held an international congress for communications faculties of Catholic universities in May 2008, gathering representatives from 45 universities from 40 different countries.
The media council has also given special attention to the promotion of Catholic radio. In June 2008, it convoked the first world congress of Catholic radio stations, which was attended by representatives of 41 countries.
Another priority of the council over the past two years has been to help bishops understand the importance of social communications. Apart from working one-on-one with bishops around the world, the council organized a seminar last March that was attended by bishops who represented 80 countries, that is, almost 75% of the Church.
The five-day conference reflected on the Internet’s evolution in recent years: Web pages, blogs and social networks — including Facebook, YouTube, Fliker and Twitter.
On the occasion of Benedict XVI’s message for the 2009 World Day of Social Communications, which the Pope addressed in particular to the young people of the digital age, the council launched the Web site pope2you.net, which received 5 million hits during its first 15 days online.

Baku, July 16, AZERTAC
Pakistani authorities said Tuesday they had rescued one miner who survived two days trapped in a coal mine after a fire that killed nine other workers in Balochistan, AFP reports.
An electrical short circuit sparked the blaze on Sunday at the mine east of Quetta, the capital of oil and mineral rich Balochistan province.
Eleven miners were working around 4,000 feet (1,200 metres) underground at the time. One was quickly saved but poisonous carbon monoxide gas hampered rescue efforts.
Officials confirmed on Tuesday that just one of the remaining ten had been discovered alive.

"Inspiration is the world's greatest game of telephone"
- A. Meka
A well known man by the name of Disney once separated life’s aspirations into 4 steps: “First, think. Second, believe. Third, dream. And finally, dare.” From the very second I was able to pick up a pencil I could feel my devotion to the creative world. Simple pass times like watching my favorite show on television, reading a great book, or recounting a story with friends began to be way more immersive when I began to take the mental picture that was painted in my head and turn it into a something tangible. Everything I took in became an inspiration. Words became pictures, progress and growth became memories and little by little my newly found interest spawned into a passion that has become a large part of my identity today. There was a joy in seeing my friends’ faces light up at the lunch table as I showed them the drawings I did of our favorite cartoon character. There is a beauty to putting effort into crafting something you love and seeing it make someone’s day.
Since then, I’ve lived in many places outside of my native home in Québec and simultaneously worked hard to refine my artistic capabilities while being guided the humbling rule that “although you may develop the skills to become a teacher to some, you will always be a student in life.” I am currently pursuing an undergraduate's degree in Animation with a minor in Industrial Design at the Savannah College of Art In Design. Several of my works feature a consistent yet adaptive style with a variety of elements including animation, traditional and digital illustration, 3D modeling, and visual development. Additionally, three of my pieces have been displayed by Procreate, an illustration app created by Savage Interactive for iPad. In the future I intend to work as a character animator and visual developer in a company that focuses on creating inspiring projects for the international entertainment market. To revisit the words of Disney, I have thought about where I want to apply my skills, I believe that what I am passionate about will serve as a great contribution, I dream of the day my works will touch countless lives, and I dare to see my childhood aspiration develop into a lifelong career.

Background: Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) are at a great risk of a fall and fracture, which vitamin D protects against. Vitamin D deficiency is expected to be highly prevalent in LSS patient, and pain is thought to have a profound effect on vitamin D status by limiting activity and sunlight exposure. Objective: To identify the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-OHD] < 20ng/mL) and its relationship with pain. Study Design: Nonblinded, cross-sectional clinical study. Setting: University-based outpatient clinic of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Korea. Methods: Consecutive patients who visited the orthopedic outpatient clinic for chronic low back pain and leg pain and were diagnosed as LSS between May 2012 and October 2012 were included. Pain was categorized into 4 groups based on location and severity: 1) mild to moderate back or leg pain; 2) severe back pain; 3) severe leg pain; and 4) severe back and leg pain. Covariates for vitamin D deficiency included age, sex, body mass index, level of education, medical history, season, region of residence, sunlight exposure score and functional disability. 25-OHD level was measured by radioimmunoassay, and bone metabolic status including bone mineral density and bone turnover markers was also measured. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to adjust all risk estimates for covariates. Results: The study had 350 patients enrolled. Mean serum 25-OHD level was 15.9 ± 7.1 ng/mL (range, 2.5 ~ 36.6). of the 350 patients, 260 patients out of 350 (74.3%) were vitamin D deficient. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed a significantly higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the following patients: 1) medical comorbidity; 2) urban residence rather than rural; 3) lower score for sunlight exposure; and 4) severe leg pain, or severe back and leg pain rather than mild to moderate pain. Pain category was significantly associated with lower sunlight exposure; however, the association between pain category and vitamin D deficiency remained significant even after adjustment for the sunlight exposure. Furthermore, severe back pain, and severe back and leg pain were also associated with higher incidence of osteoporosis and higher level of bone resorption marker (serum CTx). Limitations: The limitation of our study is that due to its cross-sectional design, causal relationships between pain and vitamin D deficiency could not be established. Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent in LSS patients (74.3%), and severe pain was associated with higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and osteoporosis which could be potential risk factors or a fall and fracture. As evidenced by the present study, assessment of serum 25-OHD and bone mineral density are recommended in LSS patients with severe pain, and active treatment combining vitamin D, calcium, or bisphosphonate should be considered according to the status of the bone metabolism.

Conquering the glam rock/goth pop genre are Glasgow ensemble Lucia & The Best Boys. The band released their latest EP, titled Eternity, on January 31st and we’re still gushing over it. After a hugely successful 2019, from music releases, to being featured in NME, getting added to massive Spotify playlists such as The Rock List and New Music Friday UK and not to mention getting radio play for their single Good Girls Do Bad Thingson BBC Radio 1 and Radio X, this group of intriguing artists have started 2020 off spectacularly.
Formally known as just LUCIA, the four-piece recorded the EP in LA with producer Carlos De La Garza, who has also worked with some acclaimed acts such as Wolf Alice, Paramore and Best Coast. The leading single on the EP is City of Angels, a synth pop wonder which portrays themes of escapism from societies expectations and toxic mentalities. The track is packed full of adrenaline which will make you want to move, taking inspiration from some of their influences such as New Order. A video, directed by Stuart Alexander, Lucia Fairfull and Bejoy Sanjeev, was released for the track on the 12th February and is equally thrilling.
Good Girls Do Bad Things is track number two and was released in October last year alongside a video also directed by Stuart Alexander. The song was received well across several platforms with some stating it is their strongest release to date. The high energy track has a menacing feel to it, putting you in touch with your own daring side. It’s an empowering song sending a message to any women who has ever been made to feel less than a man. The heavy guitar and thumping drums are complimented by lead vocalist Lucia Fairfull’s ominous and powerful sounding voice, making it an unforgettable track that leaves you putting it on repeat. The accompanying video is full of leather look outfits, strong female characters, a horse, water pistols and is set around Glasgow’s Barrowlands area, interested yet?
The third track on the EP certainly demonstrates the talent amongst the Glasgow group. My God begins with stripped back vocals from Lucia Fairfull as a piano plays gently in the background, alongside the sound of a beating heart. This is the longest track on the EP at 5 minutes and 2 seconds, allowing them to delve into a hazier sound. As the tune continues to drift along, we hear the saintly vocals continue as more instruments are introduced, creating something beautiful. The song’s raw energy tugs at the heartstrings, working up to exhilarating moments before fading out.
Flames is the last track on the EP and is already a live favourite. This track moves back up to a livelier sound after My God, making it the perfect way to round off the EP. The band have several dates lined up, if you want to catch them in Scotland next they’ll be playing The Amsterdam in Glasgow on the 6th March. The event will be hosted by Tenement TV and is a celebration ahead of International Women’s Day, you don’t want to miss this!
Make sure you follow all their socials to keep up to date with Lucia & The Best Boys.

Initial Jobless Claims Rise at Year's End
Washington, DC, Jan. 3, 2013 -- Initial claims for unemployment benefits rose to a five-week high, according to the Labor Department.
Initial jobless claims increased 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 372,000 in the week ended Dec. 29.
Employment patterns during the holiday season can distort the claims report. Also, government offices close for several days.


The festive holiday season brings with it the yearly boom of holiday shopping. Store aisles that are usually relatively calm are suddenly crowded; customers reach around each other to get to the products they want; and the usually serene scene of shopping is replaced with mayhem.
Along with the boom in shopping, unfortunately, comes a boom in fraud. Shoulder-to-shoulder crowds make it easier to steal wallets and credit cards and to use them quickly before the overwhelmed customer knows the card is missing. Who watches their wallet when faced with the challenge of shopping while dealing with kids, competing with other customers and remembering who you need to buy a present for? Unfortunately, the number of stolen credit cards and other fraud peak at the same time as the holiday shopping frenzy.
In many cases, the potential for fraud is even higher as newer technologies are adopted. Contactless cards are much harder to copy, but in some cases can have their card numbers read and copied by a high-end smartphone. Copied card details can be sent to the thief’s partner, who can use it for a purchase by swiping a second smartphone at the register.
Mobile technology and micro-location open up the opportunity for reducing fraud by checking a customer’s location whenever their card is used. A card that’s used in Connecticut when the cardholder’s smartphone is in New Jersey is at the very least worthy of additional scrutiny, and is likely to be a stolen or forged card. A card that’s used in a department store while its owner’s smartphone is in a shoe store in the same mall may be legitimate if the cardholder gave their credit card or their smartphone to someone else to use, but is equally likely to be a card that was just stolen and is being used quickly before the theft can be noticed and reported.
A current challenge in mobile location systems, however, is that GPS technology only works outside, when phones have very little between them and the satellites in the sky. A thin car roof or a glass skylight lets GPS signals through, but a typical shopping mall’s roof will prevent smartphones from knowing their locations as long as they’re indoors. In general, smartphones inside malls know that they’re in the mall, and might know which store they’re in from the Wi-Fi signals that they receive, but will not know their precise location. This means that an anti-fraud security system as described above cannot know whether a cardholder’s smartphone is at the register or in the fitting room, or whether the cardholder is holding their smartphone near the register at which their card is being used.

Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta on Monday said it was possible to boost economic growth without increasing public debt as the key eurozone economy struggles with a lengthy recession.
"We can boost growth without getting into debt. Other countries have shown this. We have become very indebted in the past and we have not had growth," Letta said at a press conference in Milan.
Asked about the challenges facing his newly formed grand coalition government, Letta said: "I never said it would be easy. On the contrary, I know very well that it is very difficult."
Italy's national statistics agency earlier Monday forecast that the economy will shrink by 1.4 percent this year -- drastically downgrading its earlier forecast of a 0.5 percent contraction.
It said the economy would grow by 0.7 percent in 2014.

The International Medicinal Mushroom Conference (IMMC) is one of the most influential large-scale events in the global edible and medicinal mushroom industry. With its high standard, professionalism and internationality, it is known as the “Olympics of the edible and medicinal mushroom industry”.
The conference is a platform for scientists from different countries, regions and generations to learn about new achievements and new methods of edible and medicinal mushrooms. It is a grand event in the field of edible and medicinal mushrooms in the world. Since the first International Medicinal Mushroom Conference was held in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine in 2001, the conference has been held every two years.
From September 27th to 30th, the 11th International Medicinal Mushroom Conference was held in the Crowne Plaza Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. As the leading enterprise in China’s organic Reishi industry and the only domestic sponsor, GanoHerb was invited to participate in this event.
The scene of the 11th International Medicinal Mushroom Conference
The conference is organized by the International Society for Medicinal Mushrooms and the University of Belgrade and is co-organized by the Faculty of Agriculture- Belgrade, the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, the Mycological Society of Serbia, the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group, the Faculty of Biology-Belgrade, the Faculty of Science-Novi Sad, the Faculty of Natural Science-Kragujevac and the Faculty of Pharmacy-Belgrade. It attracted hundreds of professionals and scientists in the edible and medicinal mushroom research field from China, North America, Europe and Serbia.
The theme of this conference is “Medicinal Mushroom Science: Innovation, Challenges and Perspectives”, with keynote reports, special seminars, poster presentations, and edible and medicinal mushroom industry exhibitions. The conference lasts for 4 days. The representatives gathered together to report and discuss the latest and key academic issues in the field of edible and medicinal mushrooms.
On September 28th, Dr. Ahmed Attia Ahmed Abdelmoaty, who was jointly cultivated by GanoHerb Postdoctoral Research Station and Fujian Medical University, shared the “Senolytic effect of triterpenoids complex NT extracted from Ganoderma lucidum on senescent liver cancer cells” online.
Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor. Cellular senescence is a new hallmark of Cancer included in the cover review of the top journal Cancer Discovery in January this year (Cancer Discov. 2022; 12: 31-46). It plays an important role in the recurrence and chemotherapy resistance of cancer including liver cancer.
Ganoderma lucidum, known as the “magic herb” in China, is a well-known medicinal fungus and traditional Chinese medicine. It is often used to prevent and treat hepatitis, immune system diseases and cancer. The active compounds of Ganoderma lucidum are mainly triterpenoids and polysaccharides, which have the pharmacological activities of hepatoprotection, antioxidation, antitumor, immune regulation and antiangiogenesis. However, there has been no literature report on the senolytic effect of Ganoderma lucidum on senescent cancer cells.
Under the guidance of Professor Jianhua Xu, director of the Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Pharmacology of Natural Medicine, School of Pharmacy, Fujian Medical University, researchers at the GanoHerb Postdoctoral Research Station used the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (ADR) to induce liver cancer cell senescence and then treated with Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoid complex NT to analyze its effects on the expression of senescence marker molecules of senescent liver cancer cells, the proportion of senescent cells, the apoptosis and autophagy of senescent cells and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).
The study found that Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoid complex NT can reduce the proportion of senescent liver cancer cells and induce apoptosis of senescent liver cancer cells. It can eliminate senescent liver cancer cells and inhibit SASP in senescent liver cancer cells by inhibiting NF-κB, TFEB, P38, ERK and mTOR signaling pathways, especially the inhibition of IL-6, IL-1β and IL-1α.
Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoid complex NT can effectively inhibit the promoting effect of senescent liver cancer cells on the proliferation of surrounding liver cancer cells by eliminating senescent liver cancer cells and can also synergize with the anti-hepatocellular carcinoma effect of sorafenib. These findings have great significance and potential prospects for the study of new antitumor drugs based on anti-cellular senescence.

Review by Frank Plowright
Catherine Allingham is an investigator, a good one who publishes books on her cases, and tenacious, able to look past the obvious and possibly planted clues to see the truth. We join her exposing fakery, where she’s impressed enough with the nightclub doorman James Doyle’s observational skills to hire him to accompany her to Europe. Beyond her skills, the other matter Mark Waid reveals early is she only has six months to live, and that the tumor pressing on her brain casues her to see strange, ghoulish creatures. She keeps that to herself.
With Ruse Waid’s already taken a trip into the Sherlock Holmes territory of someone who casually solves the most impenetrable of crimes, and Cat Allingham is a less obvious equivalent, rapid removed from the comparison with supernatural twists. Given she knows her time on Earth is limited, Cat is investigating what may lie beyond, starting with the theory that immediately after death a human will lose a small amount of body weight, which may be the departure of the soul. Waid effectively demolishes the real world myth, but for his story he opens another door.
Minck Oosterveer was a new name in the USA when he worked on The Unknown, but with a notable career in Dutch comics using several different styles. He’s a natural at laying out pages, shifting the viewpoints during conversations, ensuring the action thrills, and drawing suitably disturbing supernatural manifestations. However, he doesn’t effectively sell a story with such a strong emotional undercurrent, expressions all too often bland, and there’s an additional teething problem over the first chapter where some of the faces are very flat.
Cat is well developed, and her imminent death provides an element of sympathy that might otherwise be absent for such a direct, smart, and some might say smug personality. Waid always has her think through and reject the supernatural solutions believed by others, prioritising the rational at all costs, as if deliberately depriving herself of any hope. Eventually, though, the plot builds to a point where it may no longer be possible to deny the supernatural. Anyone who wants a complete explanation is going to be disappointed, but it is a story titled The Unknown after all. It’s clever, and defies categorisation and predictability, beginning as a crime drama and becoming something else. There’s a continuation in The Devil Made Flesh. Alternatively, both are combined as The Unknown Omnibus.

She said: “We should all know by now what we are meant to do – to maintain good hand hygiene and social distancing and when we need to wear face coverings – and we want our local businesses to be reinforcing those things too.
“Put up the poster to show customers you’re taking responsibility and that they are safe in your space.”
Dr Adrian Philips from PHE West Midlands said: “This is a great idea – we want all sectors to play their part and it is good to see businesses an agencies working well together.
“Everyone has an individual responsibility to protect themselves and the wider community from catching and spreading COVID-19 and it is now law that people must wear face coverings in enclosed public places – including shops.
“I hope this will encourage retailers to do everything they can to promote a COVID-secure environment to protect their customers and staff.”
Think Sandwell is aware that businesses which do not abide by the rules will be closed, and we urge everyone to do the right thing. For support, see our coronavirus resources for Sandwell businesses.

Ohh, how much I love this time of the year! The days are long, everything is either blooming or getting ready to bloom, the birds are singing, and the sun is getting warmer and makes its appearance more often (well, perhaps not today as it is raining while I am writing this blog…but we live in hope ).
The older I get, the more I come to realise the sun’s contradicting effect on my skin is. On one hand, sun exposure is important for Vitamin D production in your body, which in turn is super important for hormonal production and for healthy bones, teeth, and muscles. ‘Catching some rays’ can be very beneficial as a result. But on the other hand, we’ve all heard about the damage harmful UV rays can cause to our skin e.g. skin cancer and premature skin ageing (and none of us want to look older than we are, do we!).
So, what to do to protect your skin effectively in the summer months? Try these tips and you will hopefully end up feeling safer:
- Apply enough sunscreen to shield exposed skin from harmful sunrays. Look out for sun creams that are environmentally friendly and do not contain nano particles of agents that in turn can cause cancer too after long-term application. I recently found out about Sweet Bee Organic sun cream which is made with organic Non-Nano Zinc Oxide to give a coverage of SPF 30 and all the other ingredients are 100% organic and non-toxic so great for our planet and humans alike. Also, some of our products here at The Balm Pantry are made with coconut oil, which also gives sun protection at SPF 15.
- Get a nice hat and alternate sitting in the shade with sitting in the sun. This should be easy enough plus the hat will make you look super stylish! And apparently as one vlogger claims – the lighter the hat, the less hot you will feel.
- Hydrate your skin. The sun will sap the moisture from your skin, but fear not, you can easily counter this by applying our body mousse after as it is super hydrating and will replenish all the moisture you lost via sun exposure! Regular application of hydrating cream/body butter will also prevent unwanted peeling of your skin and therefore will prolong that tan you worked so hard to get.
- Don’t forget your lips- these are exposed to the sun all the time and deserve just as much attention as your skin. Apply lip balm at regular times throughout the day. I find the best thing is to keep lip balm somewhere handy so it is available all the time – your handbag, kitchen top counter, the cool and shaded glove compartment of your car….or simply in your pocket! That way there is no excuse not to use it.
- Drink lots of water or herbal tea to keep you and your skin hydrated all the time. Did you know that hot herbal tea in the summer will actually keep you cool as it makes your body sweat therefore cooling you down in the process. Our bodies are amazing, performing millions of miracles like that every single day, so look after it the best way you can, it’s the only one you have for life!
In summary, stay safe this summer and hydrate your skin as much as possible. It’s the best way to battle dryness! X

Apple Maps is back in the news and you know what that means. (Yes, you do, Melba. Look inside yourself. You’ve always known.) It means it’s another excuse to complain about it being “not as good as” Google Maps.
Writing for The Inquirer, Roland Moore-Colyer says
“Apple is reworking Maps to be less utterly dire.”
It’s true, it is the direst of mapping applications. It’s positively
Earhartian. A total cluster
CUPERTINO’S BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT
IS EDDY CUE’S ON-STAGE DAD DANCING. FACT.
Apple Maps is set to get a complete overhaul from the ground up to attempt to attract people away from Google Maps.
Boy, you’d get the idea that more people use Google Maps on iOS than Apple Maps. Is that true? Well… no.
“Apple Maps, once a laughingstock, now dominates iPhones.”
Apple says its mapping service is now used more than three times as often as its next leading competitor…
And that was three years ago. Apple Maps has only gotten better in the intervening period so it’s probably a higher multiplier than that now.
When Apple Maps launched back in 2012 as part of iOS 6, it couldn’t even be described as a flawed masterpiece; it was so royally borked with missing locations and other such flaws that when Google Maps was released back on iOS, millions upon millions of Apple loons downloaded the app.
[turns to camera, raises eyebrow]
Setting aside the pejorative, there is no support provided for Moore-Coyler’s assertion that “millions upon millions” of people eschewed Apple Maps for the warm, privacy-sucking embrace of Google Maps. Maybe it was in the millions, but when Apple had sold about 450 million iPhones by the time Google released Google Maps for iOS in December of 2012, a little more precision is required to know if it’s a meaningful percentage.
Over the subsequent years, Apple did manage to improve Maps but it’s still considered sub-par when compared to other mapping services, like the aforementioned efforts by Google and the likes of Waze.
It may be “considered” to be that, but is that true? Certainly
Arthur Grabowski’s results don’t portray Waze particularly well. Basically, he found that if you want to be lied to and told you’ll get to your destination faster when you really won’t, use Waze. Google’s data is considered the best and that certainly may be true, but data is just one reason to use a mapping app.
Writing for 9to5Mac, Bradley Chambers came up with
“Five reasons to prefer Apple Maps over Google Maps.” The first is privacy, which is actually
one of the big reasons Apple dumped Google as its Maps data provider back in 2012. In all discussions of the relative merits of Google and Apple services, however, privacy should not be considered. This is because of one very simply fact that you Apple loons haven’t thought of, and that is this: bingo bananatown with jelly on it.
There. Now we’ve settled that. Let us never speak of it again.
Maps did not start out great, but it’s gotten very good since. Is it the best right now? The Macalope’s not going to pass judgement on that, because some people will value certain features over others. But he will note that you have to actually consider its advantages to figure which is the best for you, instead of just sweeping them under the rug.

Attorney general says applicants for clerk and master position can't be secret; Fields is one
CHATTANOOGA, TN (Times Free Press) -
Hamilton County Commissioner Jim Fields is mum on whether he is seeking to replace Clerk and Master Lee Akers. But the state's attorney general has helped to shed some light on the subject.
Chancellors Frank Brown and Jeffery Atherton unsealed Fields' application and 16 others Friday, after they said Attorney General Robert Cooper Jr. told them he would have a hard time defending their decision to seal public documents.
Fields is the county commissioner for District 2, which includes Signal Mountain and areas along the western border of the county. He was first elected in 2010 and faces no opposition for a second term in the August county election.
Akers will retire when his term ends in August, and Brown and Atherton are currently interviewing to identify his replacement.

WILLIAMS, MILTON - While most of the old soldiers have passed away, there are a number still left in Sangamon County, and these are given the honor that is their rightful due, for without the loyalty and bravery of the army, the Union could not have been preserved. One of the veterans of whom the county is proud is Milton Williams, a prosperous farmer of Woodside Township, born in Clinton County, Ohio, August 25, 1838, a son of Haines and Permelia (Myers) Williams, natives of Ohio and Pennsylvania, respectively. The parents came to Illinois in 1855, locating in Cooper Township, Sangamon County, where they bought forty acres of land, upon which the father died in 1863, and the mother several years later. There were seven children (four sons and three daughters), in their family, all of whom are deceased except Milton and his brother Joseph, who was a soldier as well.
The education of Milton Williams was secured in Ohio during his boyhood, but at the same time he was required to assist with work upon the farm. In the spring of 1859 he went to Pike's Peak, following the westward trend of that day, but six months later returned home. He then went to Gentry County, Mo., remained there four years. He entered the home militia, and after serving six months, was mustered out, and enlisted in the regular service, at St. Joseph, in Company B, Twenty-fifth Missouri Volunteer Infantry, which later was consolidated with the Twenty-first Missouri Engineers. Mr. Williams, with his regiment, participated in the battle of Shiloh, the two days flight at Kingston, made a forced march to Raleigh, and came back to Washington, D.C., whence they were sent to Louisville, Ky., to be mustered out, being discharged at St. Louis. Mr. Williams had become a Corporal. At the close of the war he went to Sangamon County to engage in farming, joining his father and remaining there for ten years. At the expiration of that period he moved to Christian County and farmed for another decade. He then moved to Springfield, where he spent the next fifteen years, after which he located in his present home, where he owns five acres of rich farm land.
The first marriage of Mr. Williams occurred in Springfield, in 1871, when he was united to Margaret Galpin, born in Illinois 1851, and they had one child who died in infancy. He was married (Second) in Springfield, in 1886 to Lucinda Dodd, born in Morgan County, Ill., daughter of an early settler and farmer of that county. The second Mrs. Williams died December 25, 1908.
In politics Mr. Williams was a Republican from the start, and has remained faithful to this party ever since. He belongs to Stephenson Post, G.A.R. of Springfield, and enjoys meeting his old comrades and with them reliving the stirring events of the days of the war. In religious faith he is a member of the Church of God, and is earnest in his support of its creed. He has been hard working and thrifty, and has earnestly tried to do what he thought was his duty, both to his country and to his neighbor, and, in so living up to his conception of the golden rule, has established himself in the confidence of his community.
