as protector of the savage nations that inhabit them, that connexion and duty also devolve upon us, since they evidently claimed that protection from him as king of the Colonies, and through the governors of those Colonies, and not as sovereign of a country three thousand miles from them. This country having chosen a new sovereign, they may rightfully claim its protection.:
There is some reason to believe that Great Britain considered their rights in many instances as extending no further than their rights of pre-emption and protection, as may be inferred from passages in the negotiacions for a peace with France in the year 1761, referred to in the margin. This suggests a new idea, which, however, I am not warranted by any act of Congress in mentioning, and therefore you will only consider it as the sentiment of an individual. If the mediators should not incline to admit our claim, but determine on restricting our limits, either by the extent of our grants, the course of the mountains, the sources of the rivers, or any other of those arbitrary rules that must be sought for when solid principles are relinquished, perhaps it would not be difficult to bring them to agree that the country beyond those limits belongs to the nations which inhabit it; that it should enjoy its independence under the guarantee of France, Spain, Great Britain, and America, and be open to the trade of those whose lands border upon them.
This, though restrictive of our rights, would free us from the well-grounded apprehensions that the vicinity of Great Britain and her command of the savages would give us. They already possess Canada and Nova Scotia; should that immense territory, which lies upon the rear of the States from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico, be acknowledged to be vested in Great Britain, it will render our situation truly hazardous. The lands, as you know, are infinitely better than those on the coast; they have an open communication with the sea by the rivers St. Lawrence and the Mississippi, and with each other by those extensive inland seas with which America abounds. They will be settled with the utmost rapidity from Europe, but more particularly from these States. Attachment to the government, freedom from taxes, a prospect of bettering their fortunes, and the fertility of the soil will invite numbers to leave us. This, co-operating with the leaven of dissatisfaction, which will continue to work here for many years, may produce the most dangerous effects, especially upon the Southern States, which will, from the nature of their soil and husbandry, be thinly settled for many years, while the lands which lie near them, beyond the mountains, will soon be filled with a hardy race of people inimical to them, who to their own strength will be enabled to join that of the savages subject to their command.
'In the margin of the MS. record reference is made to the answer of the king to the ultimatum of France, received Sept., 1761, second section of eleventh article. (Appearing in original text.]
If it is an object with the maritime powers to lessen the powers, and by that means diminish the dangerous dominion that Great Britain has in some measure usurped over the ocean, they must prevent her possessing herself of the country in question, since, besides the whole fur and peltry trade that she will thereby engross, the demands of this great country will give a new spring to her manufactures, which, though the Floridas should be ceded to Spain, will find their way into it by the river St. Lawrence and through the numerous lakes and rivers which communicate with it. Add to this that settlements are already formed beyond the Appalachian Mountains by people who acknowledge the United States, which not only give force to our claims, but renders a relinquishment of their interest highly impolitic and unjust. These, and a variety of other reasons, which will suggest themselves to you and the gentlemen joined in the commission with you, will doubtless be urged in such terms as to convince the court of France that our mutual interests conspire to keep Great Britain from any territory on this continent beyond the bounds of Canada. Should the Floridas be ceded to Spain, she will certainly unite with you on this point, as the security of that cession will depend upon its success.
The Secretary of War to the President of the United States.
The Secretary of War, having examined the negotiations of the
Governor of the Western territory, with certain Northern and Northwestern Indians, and the treaties made in consequence thereof, at fort Harmar, on the 9th of January, 1789, begs leave to report:
"American State Papers, Indian Affairs, Vol. I, p. 7.
That the several Treaties of Peace which have been made with the Northern tribes of Indians, and those northwest of the Ohio, since the conclusion of the late war with Great Britain, are as follows, to wit:
ist. The treaty at fort Stanwix, on the 22d day of October, 1784, between Oliver Wolcott, Richard Butler, and Arthur Lee, commissioners plenipotentiary from the United States, on the one part, and the sachems and warriors of the Six Nations, on the other.
2d. The treaty entered into by the said commissioners plenipotentiary, and the sachems and warriors of the Wyandot, Delaware, Chippewa, and Ottawa nations of Indians, at fort McIntosh, the 21st day of January, 1785.
3d. The treaty at the mouth of the great Miami, the 31st of January, 1786, between commissioners from the United States, and the Chiefs and Warriors of the Shawanee nation.
That the treaties of fort Stanwix and fort McIntosh were entered on the journals of the United States, in Congress assembled, June the 3d, 1785, and the treaty of the Miami on the 17th day of April, 1786.
That it may be proper to observe, that the Indians are greatly tenacious of their lands, and generally do not relinquish their right, excepting on the principle of a specific consideration, expressly given for the purchase of the same.
That the practice of the late English colonies and government, in purchasing the Indian claims, has firmly established the habit in this respect, so that it cannot be violated but with difficulty, and an expense greatly exceeding the value of the object.
That the treaties of fort Stanwix and of fort McIntosh do not state that the limits therein defined are by virtue of a purchase from the Indians.
That the said treaties have been opposed, and complained of, will appear by the representation to Congress, accompanying this report, marked No. 1.
That in consequence of the said representation, Congress, on the 21st day of July, 1787, passed the following resolve:
"Resolved, That the Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the Northern department, inform the five nations, the Hurons, and other Indian nations, who joined in the representation made to Congress, dated the 18th day of December, 1786, that Congress, on the 18th of the present month, July, 1787, received their said representation, and have taken it into their serious consideration, and, in due time, will send them an answer.'
That on the 5th of October following, Congress resolved:
“That the general treaty be held with the tribes of Indians within the limits of the United States inhabiting the country northwest of the Ohio, and about Lake Erie, as soon after the first of April next as conveniently may be, and at such place, and at such particular time as the Governor of the Western Territory shall appoint, for the purpose of knowing the causes of uneasiness among the said tribes, and hearing their complaints, of regulating trade, and amicably settling all affairs concerning lands and boundaries, between them and the United States.
“That the Governor of the Western Territory hold the said treaty agreeably to such instructions as shall be given him for that purpose.
That, on the 12th of October, 1787, Congress resolved:
“That twenty thousand dollars be, and hereby are, appropriated for the purpose of Indian treaties, whenever the same shall hereafter be judged necessary by a majority of the United States, in Congress assembled, and that the resolutions for holding a general treaty with the Indians, passed the fifth day of the present month, be, and they are hereby, repealed.”
That on the 22d of October, 1787, Congress resolved:
“That the Governor of the Western Territory be, and he is hereby empowered to hold a general treaty with the Indian tribes in the ensuing spring, if, in his judgment, the public good requires it; and that he be authorized to draw for such sums of money, appropriated by the resolve of Congress of the 12th instant as may be necessary to effect this object, not exceeding the sum of fourteen thousand dollars."
That, on the 2d of July, 1788, Congress resolved:
“That the sum of twenty thousand dollars, in addition to the fourteen thousand dollars already appropriated, be appropriated for defraying the expenses of the treaties which have been ordered, or which may be ordered to be held on the present year, with the several Indian tribes in the Northern department, and for extinguishing the Indian claims; the whole of the said twenty thousand dollars, together with six thousand dollars of the said fourteen thousand dollars, to be applied solely to the purpose of extinguishing Indian claims to the lands they have already ceded to the United States, by obtaining regular conveyance for the same, and for extending a purchase beyond the limits hitherto fixed by treaty; but that no part of the said sums be applied for any purpose other than those above mentioned."
That the instructions to the Governor of the Western Territory, marked No. 2, will further show the sense of Congress on this subject.
That the treaties of fort Harmar, on the 9th of January, 1789, with the sachems and warriors of the Six Nations, the Mohawks excepted, and with the Sachems and Warriors of the Wyandot, Delaware, Ottawa, Chippewa, Pattiwatima, and Sac nations, inhabiting parts of the country northwest of the Ohio, appear to have been negotiated by the Governor of the Western Territory, so as to unite the interests of the United States with the justice due the said Indian nations.
That the reservation in the treaty with the Six Nations, of six miles square, round the fort at Oswego, is within the territory of the State of New York, and ought to be so explained as to render it comformable to the constitution of the United States.
That if this explanation should be made, and the Senate of the United States should concur in their approbation of the said treaties, it might be proper that the same should be ratified, and published, with a proclamation enjoining an observance thereof.
All which is humbly submitted to the President of the United States.
H. Knox. WAR OFFICE, May 23d, 1789.
Speech of the United Indian Nations, at their Confederate Council,
held near the mouth of the Detroit river, the 28th November and 18th December, 1786.'
Present: The Five Nations, the Hurons, Delawares, Shawanese, Ottawas, Chippewas, Powtewattimies, Twichtwees, Cherokees, and the Wabash confederates.

OK ... Some will probably not agree with me but ... Am I alone in thinking that J.J. Abrams is completely overrated as a writer?
Sure, his premises start out promising enough -- think "Lost" or "Alias" -- but inevitably the man (and his creative team) always seem to write themselves into a corner with no way out.
Hopefully, he'll fare better in his next venture -- novels. Abrams has just inked a deal with Little, Brown and Company to pen an us yet untitled thriller. Little Brown says that the book would be a collaboration (is this a red flag?) with award-winning novelist Doug Dorst and come out in the fall of 2012 through the Mulholland Books imprint.
In addition to his TV work, Abrams' movie credits include "Star Trek," "Mission: Impossible III" and the upcoming "Super 8."
Let's just hope he can write his way out of the paper bag known as fiction...

In subprimates, significant onset of growth hormone receptor (GHR) expression occurs only after birth whereas, in the human, GHR mRNA and protein are widely manifest from the first trimester of fetal life. Thus, it is likely that subprimates are not the best models for studying regulation of human GHR gene transcription, especially during early stages in development. Here we have explored the potential of the baboon as a more appropriate model. Baboon GHR cDNAs were cloned from postnatal liver by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, using human GHR-specific primers. The encoded baboon GHR precursor protein has an identical signal peptide sequence to that of human and rhesus monkey GHRs, and the mature baboon GHR is also 620 amino acids long, with 95% and 98-5% amino acid identity to the human and rhesus monkey receptors respectively. Previous studies in the human have identified eight 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) variants of the GHR mRNA (V1 to V8, numbered according to their relative abundance). We cloned the baboon V1, V3 and V4 homologues by RT-PCR: these variants have a high degree (>92%) of sequence identity with their human counterparts and also diverge at an identical point, 12 nucleotides upstream of the start of translation. The expression pattern of these three GHR mRNA isoforms in baboon liver during development was characterized. Strong expression of baboon V1 and V4 was evident by 49 days of postnatal life (n=5, 49 days and adult (18.6-19.6 kg)); very low levels of V1, but not V4, were observed in younger animals (n=2, 6 and 30 days). In contrast, V3 5' UTR variant mRNA was present in all fetal (n=4, 141-155 days gestation) and postnatal (n=7, 6-19.6 days and adult (18.6 kg)) hepatic specimens examined. Analysis of postnatal kidney and lung (n=2, 19 and 19-6 kg) revealed that V3 transcripts are present in these tissues, but not V1 and V4. Together, these data demonstrate that, as in the human, baboon V1 and V4 expression is developmentally regulated and tissue specific, while the V3 isoform is more widely expressed. Therefore, it is likely that the regulatory regions of the baboon and human GHR genes are well conserved. Our findings suggest that the baboon is an appropriate animal model in which to define the mechanisms regulating GHR gene transcription during primate development.

A durable power of attorney for health care is a document which allows you (the principal) to name another person (the attorney-in-fact) to make certain medical decisions for you if you are unable to make them for yourself. The person you choose as your attorney-in-fact does not have to be a lawyer. The law says that the attorney-in-fact can:
- Authorize your admission to a medical, nursing, residential or other facility;
- Enter into agreements for your care; and
- Authorize medical and surgical procedures.
The power to "authorize medical and surgical procedures" means that your attorney-in-fact may arrange for and consent to medical, therapeutic and surgical procedures for you, including the administration of drugs.
As of this writing, courts in Pennsylvania have not decided if the law permits an attorney-in-fact to refuse treatment on your behalf, especially if the attorney-in-fact is refusing potentially beneficial care.
Why do they call it a "durable power of attorney"?
A durable power of attorney is a power of attorney which continues to be effective or takes effect if or when you become incapacitated. All powers of attorney are presumed to be durable, unless specifically provided otherwise.
What are some of the major differences between a living will and a durable power of attorney?
Unlike a durable power of attorney for health care, a living will only takes effect when you are in a terminal condition or permanent state of unconsciousness. A durable power of attorney for health care generally names someone to make health care decisions for you without necessarily describing what those decisions should be. A living will, on the other hand, often spells out what kind of life-sustaining treatment you want to receive and may or may not name someone to make those decisions for you should you become incompetent and in a terminal condition or permanent state of unconsciousness.
A durable power of attorney for health care is designed to give your named representative the authority to make all sorts of medical decisions for you, such as whether you should be admitted to a particular kind of health care facility. A living will, on the other hand, is generally used to tell your health care provider what kind of medical care and treatment you want to receive or not receive in the event you become unable to tell the provider yourself.
It is unclear if your representative under a durable power of attorney for health care can refuse or stop life-sustaining treatment for you; a living will clearly can be used for that purpose.
May I have both a durable power of attorney for health care and a living will?
Yes, you may have both in either one document or in separate documents, although having both in one document may be recommended in many cases. There are certain factors you should consider in making the decision to have both, or either of these documents.
Because the grant of powers in a durable power of attorney for health care may be very broad and will continue even if you become incompetent, it is very important that you exercise great care in both selecting the person to be your attorney-in-fact and in spelling out the power and guidelines for the attorney-in-fact to follow. While the grant of powers in a living will is more specific, great care should still be taken in both writing your living will and especially in selecting a surrogate if you decide to select one.

Malconstant wrote:But the demon need only create my experience via matrixesque simulation, and to hell with the rest of the universe. So if the demon itself has a much simpler universe than the fake one being modeled, there you go. Does that really feel more complex to you than our infinite universe possibly multiverse with qm, relativity, brane theory, 11-dimensional string theory, etc., etc. Maybe our demon has a much simpler universe but a very creative mind.
Also with "measure" and "Boltzman brains" I was invoking a probability argument. What's simpler, a universe which appears to have evolved for billions of years to make everything as we see it, including human civilization. Or, that my brain and perception is a random fluctuation in a suitably large bath of hot plasma, and in just one half of a split second the surrounding plasma will flood my fluctuation and annihilate me. For that one all you need is randomly fluctuating stuff lying around long enough, is that not simpler?
Ah, but for the demon to create the phenomena that we observe it has to imagine them, and therefore the universe in which the demon exists has to contain at least as much information as what ours appears to have, plus whatever extra information doesn't get through to us. You can't simulate a complex system within a simple one without increasing the complexity of the simple system to at least as high as the system you're trying to simulate. So even if the demon's universe operates on very simple laws which result in complex phenomena, those simple laws need to be at least slightly more complex than the simple laws we could hypothesize to govern our own universe.
Boltzman Brains, on the other hand, offer a much simpler generative
system for the universe - unpredictable fluctuations. Crucially, however, to compress the data present in a series of unpredictable fluctuations is actually harder
, since you can't reduce them to simple laws (if you could then they wouldn't be unpredictable). So either we can posit that Boltzman Brains to arise as a result of predictable fluctuations, in which case the universe can be reduced to simple laws (we just won't be able to discover them easily) or we can suggest that the fluctuations are unpredictable, in which case it's an even more complex hypothesis again.
Of course, it's totally arguable that the behaviour of the universe isn't
reducible to simple laws, but doing that is begging the question, since it presumes that Occam's principle is wrong.

I am an attending physician on the inpatient Infectious Disease Service. My clinical practice focuses on bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal infections in highly immunocompromised patients, in particular patients with cancers of the blood and lymph nodes and in bone marrow transplant recipients. I have a specific interest in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of opportunistic fungal infections, including pulmonary and disseminated disease caused by Aspergillus, Rhizopus, Mucor, Cryptococcus, and Pneumocystis species as well as mucosal and systemic disease caused by Candida species.
Beyond my clinical activities, I oversee a laboratory-based research program that studies the development of effective immune responses to pathogenic fungi. I hold a joint appointment in the Immunology Program of the Sloan Kettering Institute and am a faculty member in the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Memorial Sloan Kettering as well as in the Microbial Pathogenesis Program at Weill Cornell Graduate School.
My laboratory research focuses on understanding how cells of the immune system recognize opportunistic fungi and mount sterilizing immune responses to this class of microbes. Our work defines how immune and non-immune cells in the lung cooperate to clear infectious conidia (spores) from the ubiquitous mold Aspergillus fumigatus and prevent the formation of tissue-invasive hyphae. We have developed fluorescence-based tools to monitor conidial uptake and killing by infection-fighting cells in the lung and harness this technology in animal models of fungal challenge to reconstruct the molecular and cellular events required for effective immunity.
We have made contributions to understanding immune recognition of A. fumigatus via host C-type lectin receptor signaling, the transport of A. fumigatus to lung-draining lymph nodes for adaptive antifungal immune responses, the role of lung epithelial cells in recruiting neutrophils to infected airways, and the role of monocytes in innate and adaptive antifungal immunity. An emerging direction in the laboratory relates to the role of endogenous fungal communities (mycobiome) in mediating immune homeostasis. Our work seeks to understand how fungi interact with the immune system and how these interactions shape human disease and immune function.

Even though the US Navy “only” has 11 aircraft carriers, there are another 9 aircraft-carrying ships in their arsenal – they just go by a different name.
These are called amphibious assault ships and are different from traditional supercarriers.
On average, American aircraft carriers are 1,092 ft long, while amphibious assault ships range around 850 ft. The latter uses their decks more like a landing pad – not a runway, meaning they mostly employ aircraft that are capable of vertical take-offs and landings such as the F-35B, AV-8B, and V-22 Osprey.
Moreover, the official designation of these ships is LHD or LHA, which stands for Landing Helicopter Dock or Landing Helicopter Assault.
In comparison, Ford-class carriers operate more like a floating airport than a ship. The longer flight decks allow them to launch heavier, fixed-wing aircraft like the F-18 Hornet and E-2 Hawkeye. These heavier planes serve missions related to air dominance, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare.
On average, LHDs cost $2 billion dollars, while LHAs cost around $3.4, and supercarriers costing over $13 billion to build. This doesn’t take into account the cost of operating one supercarrier, which can amount to nearly $1 billion every year.
LHDs can deploy forces both above and below the deck thanks to its well deck, an internal housing bay that can carry: 3 hovercrafts, 12 Mechanized Landing Craft, or 40 Amphibious Assault Vehicles, depending on the mission.
This feature makes the LHDs more suited for quick reaction missions with smaller but more intense operational timelines.
The latest addition to the Navy’s fleet of amphibious assault ships introduced two major changes.
With a displacement of 15,000 tons, LHAs have a bigger displacement than the French aircraft carrier, Charles de Gaulle.
They’re also optimized for flight operations, omitting the well deck to allow more room for aircraft, spare parts, weapons, and their fuel. These ships are currently being built with a focus on deploying F-35Bs as their main combat component, earning them the nickname ‘Lightning Carriers.’

The person who coined the phrase "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" probably had lower back pain.
Experience lower back pain just once, as about eight of 10 Americans will at some point in their lifetime, and "you are always predisposed to future pain," said John Crosson, a physical therapist at the University of Connecticut Health Center. "It's much cheaper to prevent injury in the first place."
One of the most common maladies of the developed world, lower back pain is also one of the trickiest to treat. The good news is that, in most cases, back pain goes away regardless of treatment. The bad news is that, if the pain doesn't go away, fixing a chronically bad lower back can be a nightmare.
The problem is not a lack of treatments. There are dozens. There are many pain drugs, ranging in strength from aspirin to narcotics. There are implantable pain pumps, nerve blocks, acupuncture, chiropractic, physical therapy or massage therapy, a variety of mechanical devices to stretch the back and isolate parts of the back, radio waves that can melt damaged tissue, several types of back surgeries, even procedures designed to repair damage from outdated back surgeries. There are also anti-depressants that block pain pathways, and psychological counseling to relieve the depression that often accompanies chronic pain.
Many chronic back-pain sufferers go through many of these treatments and still fail to find relief.
"It is a well-established axiom that if you have 50 or a 100 treatments for something, nothing really works well," said Dr. Jesse Eisler, a Connecticut orthopedic spine surgeon.
"There is a lot of frustration among patients, and some people get desperate" and turn to drugs or alcohol for pain relief, said Dr. Sam Kishawi, a professor of anesthesiology at the University of Connecticut Health Center.
A careful analysis by experts in back pain can lead to customized treatments for individual sufferers, Eisler and Kishawi say. But both doctors also agree that the best strategy is to prevent back pain in the first place. Some causes of back pain, such as trauma caused in accidents, can't be prevented. And the elaborate structure of muscles, nerves and spinal column inevitably deteriorate with age. But there are plenty of ways to forestall the process, experts say.
Whether you are young or old, you need to pay attention to what you are doing when you pick something up, Crosson said. "We have young guys who work on loading docks all their life and blow their back out picking up a Lego."
Learn proper lifting techniques, such as bending knees when lifting, and avoid twisting the torso when picking things up, Crosson said.
Stretching, particularly hamstrings, is important, but so is building up abdominal strength, he said.
"What good is all that flexibility if you don't have good stability and core strength in midsection," Crosson said. "(Muscles in) the deep back should have the same tone as your arms and legs."
But the key to long-term back health is exercise.
"Use your spine, and don't abuse it. Walk, and do gentle activity frequently." said Dr. Scott Fishman, president of the American Academy of Pain Medicine and author of the 2001 book, "War on Pain."
A sedentary lifestyle and obesity are two of the major causes of lower back pain, experts say. A lack of exercise can make existing back pain worse.
"The back ... needs to keep moving to stay healthy," Fishman said.

Have you ever thought of growing your own veg? Do you think you don’t have the space to grow enough in your garden? Or have you finally been told that you can’t dig up any more of the garden as the washing line can’t be used to hold up the bean canes! In all of these cases there is a clear answer – an allotment!
Allotments are an extremely good way to reduce your shopping bills. The community that forms around allotments enables the sharing of knowledge and experience which should encourage anyone new to veg growing to give it a try. The establishment of allotments in the village would be a valuable way of enhancing our community and to increase our green credentials.
As the brave soul who suggested such a scheme and with general support from the Parish Council, I am now in search of anyone in the area who would be interested in an allotment. A traditional allotment is 10 rods (90×30 feet), but they also come in halves. Swale council’s guide to allotment rents put a full plot at £29 a year, £14.50 for concessions and £14.50 for a half plot, £7.23 for concessions. If you are interested in having a plot please do get in touch with me at Hernhill.Allotments@gmail.com , alternatively, drop me a note. One hopes that I’m not alone in my ambitions and once some other like minded individuals come forward, we can discuss the next steps.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - By a vote of 255 for and 67 against that came along party lines, the U.S. House of Representatives moved Thurs. to hold America's first Black attorney general in contempt of Congress in a document dispute pertaining to a bungled gun-tracking operation, and a majority of the Democrats walked out of the congressional chambers during the vote in a show of protest and solidarity .
Eric Holder (pictured), 61, is the first sitting attorney general and cabinet member to be held in contempt.
A former Superior Judge of the District of Columbia and prior United States Attorney, Holder was appointed to U.S. attorney general by Obama when Obama took the reigns as the first Black president of the United States in 2009.
He was also a member of Obama's vice presidential selection committee.
Republicans that pushed the contempt citation argue that Holder withheld documents that give reasons why the Obama administration initially took the position that gun walking tactics used in Operation Fast and Furious, which permits guns to be smuggled from Arizona to Mexico, are not risky.
Holder called the contempt action "a political stunt."
President Barack Obama's administration has argued that the records, allegedly some140,000 pages, are privileged because they are part of the executive branch's deliberative .
He claims that the controversial records are therefore immune to congressional scrutiny under the separation of powers.
The criminal contempt vote hands the issue to the U.S. District Attorney for the District of Columbia, who is under Holder's command.
A separate and distinct vote on civil contempt, which paves the way for the House to ask a court of competent jurisdiction to order Holder to hand over the requested documents, was undertaken by the House too.
Both votes came down the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court narrowly upheld the president's sweeping health care mandate.

The newest season of The Challenge (subtitled Spies, Lies, and Allies) is set to premiere on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on MTV. A number of rookies from around the world will be trying their hand at the competition in the hopes of taking home the grand prize. One of those rookies is Tommy Sheehan, who won Season 39 of Survivor: Island of the Idols. While Sheehan will be competing on the upcoming season of The Challenge, it will be his last hurrah on reality TV, as he will be retiring in order to focus on his teaching career. During a chat with PopCulture.com, Sheehan not only opened up about how he prepared for the MTV series, but he also opened up about why he'll be retiring from reality TV.
The opportunity to compete on The Challenge was a welcome surprise for Sheehan, who was a fan of the show before his debut. Naturally, being a fan for so many years, and coming on as a rookie, could be a daunting task. Thankfully, Sheehan had some support going into the season, as fellow Survivor players Michele Fitzgerald and Michaela Bradshaw are also making their debuts on Season 37. Ahead of the season, the three were able to have a little strategy session in order to prepare.
View this post on Instagram
"Us three were on zoom, we were on FaceTime just talking it out, talking strategy because this game is all about numbers. So, if you don't have numbers, you're going to keep getting thrown into elimination," Sheehan explained. "Yeah, you can win every elimination, keep coming back. But if you don't go in an elimination, you don't go home. So we were like, all right, well at least we have us three. When we get into the house, let's spread out. Let's not be near each other. And let's try to build and take in as many people as possible."
Aside from preparing with fellow Survivor players, Sheehan did a great deal of training in order to be in top shape for the physically demanding series. While he did have to up his training for The Challenge, he already has the social game on lock. For anyone who watched him play on Survivor, you would know that his social skills are one of the strongest aspects of his game. So, it's no surprise that he's going to be translating those skills over to The Challenge.
"So I was going to come and try to do the same thing on The Challenge where I would go up to the vets and say, 'Hey guys, use me as a number. I'm just here to work with you. I'm going to be your guy.' But also go to the rookies and say, 'Hey guys, we got to stick together,'" he explained about his strategy going into the show. "Luckily, it worked out for me on Survivor where you make everyone think you're going to work with them, because then you have eyes and ears everywhere in the house. So it's tough, it's exhausting to constantly check in with every single person in the house, but I didn't want to come in like, wow, Tommy's 100% Survivor alliance. I wanted people to come and say, 'Hey, I can work with Tommy.'"
As previously mentioned, Sheehan will be retiring from reality television after appearing on The Challenge. He doesn't want fans to think he had a "bad experience" on the MTV competition. On the contrary, he said that being on The Challenge was "one of the coolest things" he's ever done. However, he wants to be able to put his focus back on his passion: teaching. He explained that even if he got the call from Survivor for a "Winners at War 2" season, he would "still deny it" as he is focused on his career path. But, there is one opportunity that would make him accept another call from The Challenge or Survivor.
"I have nothing else to prove. I like to say I'm undefeated, and I can hang my hat on that," he said. "The only, only one way either The Challenge or Survivor or any show can get me back is if there was some loved ones [aspect]. And I could either play with my fiancée, my dad, my mom, my sister, because I would love for them to get the opportunity. So, if the only way for them to get an opportunity to play one of these shows is through me, I would do it. But, as of now, I just got to get back to that classroom and focus on impacting children and students." Disclosure: PopCulture is owned by ViacomCBS Streaming, a division of ViacomCBS.

How did they vote?
This morning, the Illinois Senate voted 37 to 18 to pass HB 5707, a completely unnecessary proposal sponsored by State Representative Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago) and State Senator Heather Steans (D-Chicago).
This legislation constitutes nothing more than a reiteration of the Bullying Prevention Task Force recommendations that are available to all schools on the ISBE website. Moreover, the fact that the bill’s sponsors and the ACLU have refused to ensure the rights of students and school employees to opt-out of “programming” and “training” that promote ideas that conflict with their personal and/or religious beliefs reveals the real goal, which is to use public education to promote unproven, non-factual beliefs about the nature and morality of homosexuality and “transgenderism.”
Click HERE to see how your state senator voted on this legislation, or look at the graphic below. Unfortunately, Republican Karen McConnaughay (South Elgin) voted for this subversive bill.
The bill will soon go to Governor Patrick Quinn, who is expected to sign it into law.

Happy book birthday! Animal Conservationists makes its way into the world this month, celebrating the ongoing work of scientists to save species at risk in the face of climate change, habitat destruction, pollution, and invasive species. The work of these scientists includes monitoring bats affected with white-nose syndrome and collaboration between groups to find practical solutions to the epidemic. Others have focused their efforts on preserving or restoring habitats, including the Everglades in Florida. Breeding programs have also helped species like the California condor; thanks to the efforts of conservationists, the population of these birds has recovered from 22 in 1982, to over 400 in 2018. In zoos, scientists use animal matchmaking to determine genetically ideal matches in order to help recover species populations. Coral breeding programs are likewise helping to restore coral colonies. In addition, technology is playing an increasingly important role in species conservation. These animal conservationists on the front lines of saving species at risk are doing amazing work – work that should be celebrated and highlighted!
If you look like the leaf you’re sitting on, you are a lot less likely to be singled out as a meal by a predator. And, if you don’t get eaten, you are also more likely to live long enough to reproduce. Chances are, your offspring will also look a lot like a leaf too. Hopefully they don’t get eaten either.
Meet the satanic leaf-tailed gecko of Madagascar. Through millions of years of evolution its camouflage is so precise it really does look like a leaf. And if some sharp-eyed predator (birds, snakes, and rats) does happen to spot one of these geckos, the gecko will resort to plan B. They scream. Plan C is to leap to a new branch. But take a look at the picture. Can you spot the gecko? I’ll be plan A works most of the time!
In my lifetime I’ve watched many, many documentaries, but none have made me laugh out loud like Dancing with the Birds. I also think I set a new record for the number of times I said, “WHOA!” All the birds in the documentary were fantastic, yet the male MacGregor’s bowerbird stole the show. This bird builds a bower on a platform of moss that’s more like a tower of woven sticks and twigs – it’s over 3 feet tall! The bird may spend months or years perfecting its bower and maintaining it. He also decorates, hanging plant sap and caterpillar feces among the lower branches much like humans decorate Christmas trees.
Once perfected, he awaits a female. When one arrives, he begins a show of vocalizations. MacGregor’s bowerbirds imitate other birds’ song as well as human voices and the sound of children playing. To say that this is amazing is an understatement. You gotta hear it to believe it. Then, once the female arrives at the bower they begin a lengthy game of hide-and-seek around the tower. They flit and jump round and round, back and forth. And hopefully, for him, she is as impressed as I was.
I am constantly reminded that the earth is an amazing place. For me, the awe usually has to do with some kind of living creature. This past weekend it was rocks. Paint Mines in El Paso County, Colorado is a treasure of colorful rocks, spires, and hoodoos (a column of weathered rock). The colored bands were caused by oxidized iron compounds. Erosion exposed the layers of geologic history, creating the gullies and hoodoos in the process. And long before white settlers moved west, native peoples used the clays tinged with yellow, red, orange, purple and gray to make pottery. Some evidence points to humans inhabiting the area as long as 9,000 years ago.
Today it is a county park. In addition to the beautiful rocks, it is full of cottontails, jackrabbits, and deer. There were probably coyote slinking through the grasses too. And as the sun set, casting long shadows and intensifying the colors, I couldn’t help but once again, be amazed.
As I walked across campus this week, I came across a squirrel hastily covering a nut or acorn it had just buried. When it saw me it froze. Caught in the act. We had a staring contest for many seconds. I won. The squirrel scampered off.
Like many kids, I learned early on that squirrels don’t hibernate, and in advance of winter they store food. But I had lived my whole life (until now!) and never actually seen a squirrel doing it. It made me wonder how many other stashes that squirrel has. Will it remember where they all are? Most likely. They bury different caches of food all over the place and use both memory and smell to find it when needed. They can even find their food when there’s a foot of snow on the ground!
Many people don’t much like squirrels, but I do. They are intelligent, playful, and funny. They love a good game of chase or taunt the dog. They are masters at figuring out how to get to the bird feeder. They can leap between branches in a single bound. One squirrel in my yard likes to come look in the window right next to my desk. And, in the deepest days of winter, when the days are short and the rest of the world is resting, the squirrels are out scampering about having a jolly good time. Best of all, not all of squirrels’ buried nuts get dug up, which results in more trees!
Remember each day
The power of being present.
Of not speaking
but holding a hand
giving a hug
offering a smile.
life, love, and laughter.
Because today is a gift.
As I walked by Boulder Creek near the library the other day, the usual flock of ducks was happily cackling, swimming, and preening. The shoreline and rocks in the creek were covered in snow. I was bundled in boots, coat, and a hat – barely warm. As I watched them go about their duck business as usual, I was glad I was not one of them.
The more practical side of me, however, reasoned that ducks were adapted to deal with the cold (yes, 15° in October). They wear a down coat, after all. But what about those feet??? Lots of other birds will fluff up their feathers and hunker down to protect their feet. But ducks (and other water birds) swim in frigid water and stand right on the ice. How can they do that? The scientific name is a counter-current heat exchange system. For us non-scientists, this means that the veins and arteries in ducks’ legs are packed close together. So warm blood heading down to the feet heats up the cold blood returning from the feet. That way the bird can maintain a constant body temperature. Not only that, but their feet are specially designed to withstand the cold because they have little nerve tissue or muscle. Their feet are made of mostly bones and tendons. Still, I’m glad I’m not a duck.
On this cold and snowy day in Colorado, it’s time to talk about turtles. What do they do when it’s this cold (and their pond freezes over)? They are cold-blooded after all. Well, they hibernate. Painted turtles slow their body metabolism down by as much as 95% and spend the winter at the bottom of a pond. Except, wait, don’t they need some oxygen? They do! And that’s where this gets both interesting and funny.
Painted turtles have a cloaca – an all-purpose orifice. Basically, it’s their butt. Turns out that area has special blood-vessels that takes up oxygen directly from the water, so the turtles do not need to breathe air. So the next time you wonder what painted turtles are doing in the winter, know that they are taking a snooze at the bottom of a pond and breathing through their butts.
Anyone who’s ever been to my house knows that yard work is not high on our priority list. We like to go for the “au naturel” look. And we succeed marvelously. Luckily, we live in an area where that’s okay. Perhaps that’s why we live where we do. Anyway, I read an article earlier this week that slashed any guilt (there wasn’t much to begin with) I might have had about our lack of fall clean-up. The article, “To Help Birds This Winter, Go Easy on Fall Yard Work,” was published by Audubon. I’m happy to help birds!
My distaste for yard work aside, I’d always known on some level that much of the organic material did need to stay in place so the seeds could work their way into the ground and to replenish the soil. But I’d never thought about the birds and the bugs. Of course all of that stuff is good for them! Decomposing leaves, flowers, grasses, and the like all provide food and shelter throughout the winter. So, I’ll sweep the walkways, and trim and tidy a bit here and there. That’ll take an hour. After that, I’ll sit back and enjoy the fruits of my (lack of) labor all winter.
Let’s talk about vultures. They are definitely not the most glamorous of animals. After all, they’re a bit odd looking (even ugly?) and they eat roadkill. But they are oh, so cool. Let’s start with why many species of vultures are bald. That’s so when they stick their heads in that rotting, nasty roadkill, the festering blood full of bacteria doesn’t get stuck in their feathers! And now you’re probably wondering, how they can eat rotting meat in the first place and not get sick. Turns out that the stomach acid of vultures is so corrosive that it can dissolve some metals and therefore makes short order of any bacteria in the dead meat they feast on. That stomach acid comes in handy in other ways too. Once digestion is complete, vultures poop on their own legs. Disgusting? Most certainly. However, not only does that help vultures to cool down on hot days, but the acids help to disinfect their legs and feet after they’ve been mucking around inside a carcass. Yes, you read correctly. Their poop acts like a cleanser. The stomach acid of vultures is also useful when it comes out the other way – when they barf. Some vultures will projectile vomit when threatened. If the smell alone doesn’t send a predator running, the acid that is in their vomit will. No, vultures are not glamorous; but there’s no denying it – they are amazing.

Gold holds firm as weaker dollar, U.S. stimulus hopes lend support
Shafaq news/ Gold prices ticked up on Thursday, helped by a softer dollar and renewed optimism over some U.S. coronavirus relief aid, with investors eyeing the weekly jobless claims data to further gauge the health of the world's largest economy.
Spot gold rose 0.1% to $1,888.46 per ounce by 0600 GMT. U.S. gold futures were up 0.1% at $1,892.80.
"Gold needs both fiscal and monetary policy to come into play," said Edward Moya, a senior market analyst at OANDA.
"The virus' spread is still strong in more states and also in Europe, and that is going to force policymakers and lawmakers to deliver more stimulus," Moya said, adding that the metal is now in a wait-and-see mode.
After shutting down negotiations over a larger stimulus deal, Trump wrote on Twitter that Congress should pass money for airlines, small businesses, and stimulus checks of $1,200 for individuals, fuelling hopes for a partial deal.
Meanwhile, minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve's September offered no clear sense of their next steps to offset the coronavirus recession. Many policymakers said their economic outlook assumed additional fiscal support.
Gold, seen as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement, has risen 24% this year, supported by massive government and central bank stimulus worldwide.
The dollar index was down 0.1% against rivals, while Asian shares hit a one-month high.
"What the U.S. dollar does around investors' risk appetite is going to dictate what gold does," said ANZ analyst Daniel Hynes.
Investors now await U.S. employment data due later in the day. Jobless claims is predicted to decline, however, continued claims are likely to remain above 10 million.
Elsewhere, silver rose 0.2% to $23.88 per ounce. Platinum fell 0.1% to $863.25 per ounce, while palladium was 0.4% higher at $2,362.44.

Tristel Solutions Limited, a multi-brand group serving three markets in the health sector, developed the stella system, a high level disinfection system to make the disinfection of medical instruments faster and more thorough in order to reduce waiting time for patients. For this purpose, they needed a suitable material.
High-heat polycarbonate for high-level disinfection
For Tristel, there were many factors to consider when finding a suitable material. One of those was the time required to disinfect medical equipment, which Tristel wanted to reduce significantly. On top of that, the disinfection system needed to be bio-compatible according to ISO 10993-1 test requirements.
To meet the requirements Tristel had with regard to its stella system, they turned to Apec 1745 high-heat polycarbonate from Covestro. Apec 1745 is unique in its ability to withstand temperatures as high as 134°C, significantly reducing the time required to disinfect medical equipment. In fact, this speedy high level disinfection system cycle can greatly increase the efficiency in fast-paced clinical and hospital environments. Apec 1745 offers proven performance and features a unique combination of properties, including ultra-high heat resistance and impact strength, which is ideal for supporting and enhancing the sterilization process of non-invasive medical devices. On top of that, it allows to mold the large contamination tray in one piece, reducing the time for assembly and eliminating the risk of liquid leakage. The glass-like transparency of Apec 1745 enables the user to monitor the entire disinfection process.

On 17 October 2016, freelance political cartoonist, Zulkiflee Anwar Ulhaque, commonly known as Zunar, was stopped by immigration authorities at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport as he attempted to travel to Singapore.
He was told by the immigration officers that they had received a direct order from the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, to prevent him from leaving the country, effective from 24 une 2016.
Zunar is well known for his provocative cartoons that frequently lampoon Malaysian politics. He was charged with nine acts of sedition in 2015 relating to comments and a cartoon he tweeted alleging judicial bias and government intervention in the Malaysian opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy trial and conviction.
However, he has not yet been convicted and his case is due to begin on 22 November. Zunar will face up to 43 years in jail in Malaysia if he is found guilty. He has previously been jailed on two occasions for his controversial drawings; once for two days in 2010, and again for three days in 2015. Five of his cartoon publications are forbidden in the country, and he claims to have been raided in his office in Kuala Lumpur on several occasions.
Zunar said in a statement, "I will file a legal challenge to remove the ban. Talent is not a gift, talent is a responsibility. They can ban my books, they can ban my cartoon, they can ban me from traveling, but they cannot ban my mind, I will keep drawing until the last drop of my ink."
Strongly condemning the ban, the NJUM said they "find that the move by the IGP to ban a fellow citizen from traveling goes beyond the norm of the Constitution. By law, he has no jurisdiction. The ban of a journalist, a political cartoonist, is a move against freedom of speech and rights. It is another sad day for Malaysia."
In agreeance, the IFJ said: "At present, Malaysian media workers face a troubling environment for press freedom. Earlier this week there was a case of violence against journalists covering protests in Kuala Selangor. And now, the travel ban of Zunar, who is facing sedition charges for expressing a view at odds with the government, demonstrates the unabashed attempt on behalf of the Malaysian government to silence critics and dissenting voices in the media. We demand that the government take immediate action to revoke Zunar's travel restrictions."
