Heating and cooling the air in your home or business can create a number of different odors depending on the technology and materials used. Some of these odors aren’t bothersome and may be enjoyable – such as the smoky scent of a wood stove in the winter. Some may be annoying, while others can be deadly.
Here are some of the smells you may notice coming from your heating and cooling system, what they mean, and when to call your HVAC provider right away.
A Musty Odor
The most common odor that home and business owners notice coming from their heaters or air conditioners is the smell of must or mildew. This scent usually originates from window air conditioners and ductless HVAC units that haven’t been adequately cleaned or serviced.
Mold grows on the internal structures of the unit over time, and the more mold and mildew that is present, the more of these particles are pushed through the air in your space. This significantly reduces your overall air quality and can lead to allergy symptoms, fatigue, and a general feeling of unwellness.
What to Do
You can clean or replace your HVAC system’s filters, but this may not tackle the problem entirely, particularly if mold and mildew has been allowed to accumulate for a long period of time.
Your HVAC provider can help in a variety of ways, such as cleaning your ducts if you have a central heating and AC setup or doing a ductless deep clean if your system is a mini-split.
A Decaying Odor
If you notice a decaying odor, this is likely because a small animal has gotten into your system somewhere and made itself a home. You’re either smelling the animal’s nest, food, and fecal matter, or its decaying body if it has died.
This smell can be extremely unpleasant, but it doesn’t pose too much risk to healthy adults. Individuals with allergies and low immune systems may be at risk from airborne bacteria that originates from the animal’s dwelling within the HVAC system.
What to Do
Contact an HVAC service professional to examine your heating and cooling system, ducts, and other structures for signs of animal habitation. Your HVAC team can safely remove nests, feces, and decaying animals from your system without potentially releasing more odor and allergens into your air.
The Odor of Sewage
The odor of sewage or excrement coming from your HVAC system is usually very unexpected, and it’s something you want to address right away. This is not only because the smell of sewage circulating your home or business is unpleasant, but also because it poses a significant health hazard.
The problem in these cases is most likely an issue with your sewer line, where it has become damaged and may have backed up into your basement and subsequently, your HVAC system.
What to Do
If you notice the odor of sewage in your home or office, this is caused by methane gas, which is toxic to both humans and pets. Leave the space immediately and contact both a plumber and your HVAC company.
The plumber will be able to repair a broken sewer line while an HVAC tech will be able to clean your heating and cooling system, replace components as needed, and ensure your system is ready to service your home again.
A Burning Electrical Odor
A burning electrical odor is another smell that requires you to act right away. Your HVAC system contains a number of electrical components and a malfunction with any one of them could result in an electrical fire.
You should be familiar with what to do in the event that a fire breaks out in your home or office; Ready.gov provides detailed information on how to prepare for a fire and how to respond to it as quickly and safely as possible.
What to Do
If there’s no active fire, turn off your HVAC system entirely. Exit your home or business and contact your HVAC technician; they may ask you to check if the electrical burning smell seems to be coming from your furnace or your condenser unit.
Your HVAC tech will thoroughly inspect your system inside and out to determine if it’s the source of the electrical burning smell and if so, will make the necessary repairs.
The Odor of Rotten Eggs
The smell of rotten eggs is particularly awful, but it’s also one of the most important odors you should pay attention to. This smell is caused by sulfur, a pungent ingredient added to natural gas that usually doesn’t have any odor at all. Combining an unpleasant scent with normally odorless natural gas makes it easier to identify possible leaks.
If you notice the odor of sulfur or rotten eggs in your home or business, your heating and air conditioning system may have a natural gas leak and it’s crucial that you act immediately regardless of the time of day or night.
What to Do
The first thing you should do is quickly open your windows and doors and then exit your home or office. Make sure all people and pets are out of the space.
Do as much as you can to avoid breathing the air inside the closed space and do not light anything. Don’t light a candle, a cigarette, or introduce a flame or spark into the environment in any way – it could result in an explosion. Contact your natural gas and HVAC providers right away.

1. From population density, the solution to solve this problem by building a gigantic PUBLIC SPACE to the city with a new landscape architecture, making people who stay in each building able to greet each other.
With the physical of big city, the group of tall building in city have gaps between each building, those gaps are possibly to be an area to solve the high density problem in big city that always have high population but low area.
1.1 Conceptual Metaphor use (Space + Building), like a chair, an area that we use every day. The building is compare to the leg of the chair, support user’s weight. The public space (platform) is top of the chair, that allow everyone to use space together as the concept.
2. THE CHAIR( SHARE ) By using some principle of Vernacular Architecture, in local village usually have a public space for example public ground of village for everyone to do activity together.
3.basic pattern of vernacular
Balcony and terrace is one of important area of local house in Asia(Tropical), terrace is an good area for rest, villager also use this area to be living area and do some activity in day.
Ornament of battens, using wood as simple as possible. In Southeast Asia, people use wood to make floor. But in Western will use it to be façade.
4. INTRO chair is furniture that we use every day, working, reading a book, sitting, using as stair or even use as bed (sometime). So chair is use more than a chair. Everyone have a connection to it and spend their time 8 hours each day, in one day have 24 hours, then we use 1/3 in entire life on chair. So it is one of our body that we use by common sense.
5. PROBLEM & SOLUTION
THE CHAIR (SHARE) coming from problem of high population density, people transportation both by foot and public transport. The design that solve the problem by having a function that can rest, reading a book or take a nap on THE CHAIR.

Finally made this recipe, is my second bread recipe I’ve made and the top is nice but the inside always feels moist … I am putting it in the oven a bit more to see if it dries out, is that the texture that it should have because of the butter or what? I liked the flavor! Just not sure of how is supposed to be inside. I haven’t watched the video yet. Thanks!!
When following the Paleo diet, you will cut the trans fats and the omega-6 polyunsaturated fats in your diet and increase the healthful monounsaturated and omega-3 fats that were the mainstays of our ancestors. Recent large population studies, known as meta analyses, show that saturated fats have little or no adverse effects upon cardiovascular disease risk.
I made this recipe tonight – definitely the best tasting paleo bread I’ve had. The bread didn’t rise very much, so maybe I’d do a double recipe and cook longer to get bigger slices. It also turned out a little on the crumbly side – I think mine needed more liquid because the batter was fairly dry when I put it in the pan. As someone mentioned above, I also like that it’s not super eggy tasting! I gave slices to my roommates and a friend (they’re not paleo) and they both thought it was really good – which is sayin’ something! Next time I will try a few tweaks to make is sandwich suitable, but this recipe is really tasty.
I cut the bread into thin slices and it is great toasted. I made a sandwich for my husband with bacon, lettuce and tomato and when I handed it to him he looked at me funny and after he took his first bite he asked me: “where did you buy this bread, can we eat bread now?” lol…. I told him I had made the bread with almond flour instead of wheat and he was thrilled.
Hi Meredith, every photo I share with my recipes are from the same recipe. I usually photograph the food right after I make them. This bread does not rise as much as regular bread during baking, but it does rise well. I use golden flax seeds. This recipe is meant to be made on a medium loaf pan of 8½ x 4½ inches. If you have a larger pan, you can double the recipe so that when baked the bread will rise to the top of your pan and will not be so thin.
Hi Melissa, Are you beating the whole eggs? It needs to be egg whites only. Whole eggs will never form peaks. Adding a little cream of tartar helps, as well as making sure you start with a very clean bowl (preferably not plastic if you’re having issues). Having the egg whites at room temperature can be a little easier, too, though I usually don’t need to. Hope this answers your question!
I love this recipe and I like to tweak things. I came up with a tweak to make banana bread. Since holiday baking is my weakness and I had an almost suicidal reaction to wheat (I really know I’m allergic now) I wanted some banana bread. I subbed 1 cup of almond flour to walnut flour, omitted the ACV, added sweetener to taste, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (sugar free) and 1 mashed banana. I LOVE banana so I also added a little banana flavoring. Baked up to a heavenly bread that I can eat without bloating and severe mood reactions!! I LOVE this site for recipes!! My next attempt will be either pumpkin bread or orange cranberry. Makes a great “I NEED SWEET” snack or breakfast as I’m zooming out the door.
One of the foods that people tell us they miss most after going keto is bread. (And cookies or cakes, but you get the idea.) We get it, bread is undeniably comfort food. Growing up, it wasn’t unheard of to eat toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and maybe even a slice of buttered bread along with dinner. Not only is that ton of carbs, but it’s also a lot of empty calories when we could have been eating real-food alternatives, like this bread made from nutrient-dense ingredients!

While the diet as a whole hasn't been well studied, the benefits of cutting packaged foods from your diet could be huge. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, three quarters of the average American's sodium intake (which is almost double what it should be!) comes from commercially prepared foods. And, one Public Health Nutrition study found that people who cook at least five times a week are 47% more likely to be alive 10 years later compared to those who rely more on processed foods.
When eating Paleo you may find that you end up using vegan recipes a lot. This is not surprising because vegan cooking entails cutting out a lot of junk and only using wholesome sources. Of course you’ll be ruining the vegan-ness of it with the meat you’ll be having with it, but for side items like bread it’s totally OK to borrow a page from the vegan notebook. Here we have a bread that is both Paleo and vegan approved, and uses a bit of applesauce to give it a unique flavor. One thing to remember is that vegan cheese substitutes that you can find at the store will typically be Paleo friendly and actually taste pretty good.

Ideally one should eat a wide variety of proteins from as many animal sources as possible. One need not and should not avoid fatty cuts of meat, particularly if consuming pastured sources. An often overlooked piece of the paleo diet in popular culture is an over-reliance on standard cuts of meat, at the expense of organ meats, bone broth and other collagen sources. For more information on the historical and practical aspects of consuming a more balanced protein intake, check out the Weston A. Price Foundation. If weight-loss is a goal, protein makes you feel satisfied between meals.
My bread came out a teeny bit “eggy”…which wasn’t bad, I still enjoyed it. Maybe some egg yolk made it in the batter??? Anyway, the slight egginess made me think of French toast. So with the last few pieces, that’s what I made. I mixed an egg, heavy cream, and a little vanilla to coat the bread…used browned butter to sub for syrup…then topped off with Swerve confectioners sugar. It was delicious!
I’ve gone around the web finding the best fast easy, and absolutely delicious easy paleo desserts. Because eating paleo is hard enough without having to spend two hours making a complicated dessert only to have it come out badly because paleo baking is so darn finicky. All of the recipes in this roundup are tried, tested, and true, take 45 minutes or less to prepare, and should satisfy all your cravings for easy paleo desserts. So let’s get started!
Paleo baked goods are free of gluten, refined sugars, and dairy. If you’ve perfected regular baking and now you’ve gone paleo, you might be surprised at just how different this way of baking is. I find that in order to get the closest simulation of regular bread (i.e., bread that has gluten), it’s often useful to use a combination of a few different paleo-friendly flours.
Buried in the middle of The Revised Metabolic Oncolytic Regimen for Effecting Lysis in Solid Tumors one can find their diet recommendations for tumor control. It has a paleo diet orientation. Protein is 35%, preferably Omega 3 rich. Carbohydrates (also 35%) are only vegetables and fruit, no beans, bread, potatoes, or any grain. Then dietary and supplemental forms of fat should provide 20-30% of (daily) calories.
Hi Sophie, I have found that the best almond flour for baking are the ones that have the skin removed (blanched) and are very finely ground. Some brands call it almond meal and some almond flour, so there’s no standard name currently. I have also found that not all brand work well. For example the Bobs Red Mill brand fails most of the time for baking. My personal favorite brands are by Honeyville and welbees. You may be able to order these from amazon.
If all else fails, this simple rule of thumb may make it really easy to shop for paleo foods. The layout of most grocery stores is quite simple: in the inner aisles you will typically find packaged, processed foods. Things like bread, pasta, cereal, flour, sugar, etc. For the most part, many of the foods stocked in the inner aisles of a grocery store will probably be "non-paleo approved items."
The Paleo diet is based upon everyday, modern foods that mimic the food groups of our pre-agricultural, hunter-gatherer ancestors. Though there are numerous benefits eating a hunter-gatherer diet, there are seven fundamental characteristics of hunter-gatherer diets that help to optimize your health, minimize your risk of chronic disease, and to lose weight and keep it off.
Advocates of the diet argue that the increase in diseases of affluence after the dawn of agriculture was caused by changes in diet, but others have countered that it may be that pre-agricultural hunter-gatherers did not suffer from the diseases of affluence because they did not live long enough to develop them. Based on the data from hunter-gatherer populations still in existence, it is estimated that at age 15, life expectancy was an additional 39 years, for a total age of 54. At age 45, it is estimated that average life expectancy was an additional 19 years, for a total age of 64 years. That is to say, in such societies, most deaths occurred in childhood or young adulthood; thus, the population of elderly – and the prevalence of diseases of affluence – was much reduced. Excessive food energy intake relative to energy expended, rather than the consumption of specific foods, is more likely to underlie the diseases of affluence. "The health concerns of the industrial world, where calorie-packed foods are readily available, stem not from deviations from a specific diet but from an imbalance between the energy humans consume and the energy humans spend."
This recipe is so simple but so tasty. I use almond flour I grind myself (use a coffee grinder–it’s so much cheaper than buying bags of almond flour at the grocery store or online). The first loaf I made as stated and felt it was a little too much on the coconut. The second loaf I exchanged the coconut oil for bacon grease, which worked well but was a little too strong on the bacon. The third loaf I used half coconut oil and half bacon grease and I really love the taste. A little smear of almond butter and a dollop of jam really makes this a great Paleo breakfast!
Hi! I’ve been looking for a good paleo bread substitute recipe lately and this one looks perfect and then some! I was just wondering if it’s lower in calories than regular bread as I’ve been trying to watch my calorie intake recently and I know almond flour is a little higher than regular flour. Does anyone happen to know what the calorie count is for one loaf? Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much for your recipe. This is the best keto bread recipe I have come across. There is only one suggestion it’s better to use medium size 8X4 inch pan to get perfect size slices. There is one question., can we replace coconut flour with almond flour completely? If yes what is the quantity for almond flour in this case? Thank you once again.
This is the third time I have made this bread. The first time I followed you directions and discovered the middle wasn’t quite baked all the way through. So I read some of the comments and tried it again. The second time I kept the oven temp the same and cut down on the butter and baked it for about 40-45 minutes. It turned out fine then. However it doesn’t that size of a loaf doesn’t last long in our house. So today I made it again and increased the recipe by half. I had bought a 12″ x 4.5″ x 3 ” bread loaf pan. I used 7 tbsp of Kerry Gold butter instead of 9 tbsp. Otherwise the rest was the same. I baked it at 355 degrees for 1 hour. It turned out perfectly. I couldn’t wait to let it cool too much. I love warm bread and just had to have a couple of slices. Btw- the organic almond flour I used was from our local grocery store health market section.
OMG-made this recipe for fun(I have no dietary restricions about gluten or grains or any allergies) Followed recipe exactly and used three 4″mini springform pans. These buns came out awesome! Texture and taste like real actual bread! Eating one wih chicken salad as I type! I’ve tried other bread recipes before using almond or coconut flours and never came out worthy of the effort and cost involved but these are amazing! I love that it is a small batch using simple minimal ingredients so u dont end up with a ton of something u can’t eat fast enough before it goes bad(not that these would even last that long if I quadrupled the recipe…!)

The Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Community Safety has called for law enforcement agencies to develop specialised units that will help to eliminate illegal mining in the province.
The call comes after 17 people were killed on Wednesday after they inhaled a poisonous gas substance in Angelo informal settlement, Boksburg.
The incident took place on Wednesday night. A further 11 people were admitted at Tambo Memorial Hospital.
It is suspected that they inhaled a nitrate gas, which was used for mining activities.
Illegal miners, commonly referred to as zama-zamas, allegedly got their hands on a nitrate oxide gas tank which they intended to use in their illegal mining activities. The poisonous gas was what allegedly killed the community members.
“Illegal mining has brought enormous and devastating challenges of maintaining the rule of law in the province,” said Thebe Khumalo, chairperson of the committee.
Khumalo said the province has over years witnessed the senseless loss of innocent lives at the hands of illegal miners, and now, the committee calls for law enforcement agencies to develop dedicated and specialised units that will fight illegal mining in Gauteng.
“The committee is saddened by these events and calls on community members of the Angelo informal settlement and all other citizens to refrain from engaging in this unsafe and illegal mining.
“The committee further calls on the private security industry as well as Community Policing Forums to continue working together with SAPS in the fight against illegal mining in the province,” he said.
Khumalo added that the committee awaits a report from SAPS, giving a detailed account on the incident and what is being done to eradicate illegal mining in Gauteng.
Earlier, President Cyril Ramaphosa said he wants answers following the deadly incident.
Presidency spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya said the president wished to extend his heartfelt condolences to the families that have lost loved ones.
“President Ramaphosa has described this as a very sad morning. He further urges investigators to get to the bottom of what may have caused this accident to avoid similar disasters in future,” he said.

Cardiovascular disease often takes loved ones away from us without any warning. If you had to take a product for prevention, what would it be? Many people ask us about cholesterol, blood pressure and the health of blood vessels. Did you know that there is a product specifically for these aspects?
Here’s what we recommend and why. We have developed Vitoli® Cardiovascular to make the best product for people concerned about their cardiovascular health. It acts on several facets and not only on cholesterol. It goes without saying that the preventive factors for cardiovascular disease are very numerous and they are all important. Above all, you should make efforts to improve your diet, sleep, physical activity and stress management. We will not repeat the recommendations of these healthy lifestyles, since many of them are already the subject of many articles in the Vitoli blog.
We will focus here on the ingredients contained within Vitoli® Cardiovascular :
– the dose recommended by the European Union of olive polyphenols (the Exclusive Provitol® Complex) for the reduction of the risks of atherosclerosis,
– Coenzyme Q10 and
– group B vitamins (B6, B9 and B12).
Olive polyphenols from the Provitol® Complex exclusive to Vitoli® products are standardized in hydroxytyrosol. It is the most important olive polyphenol, but also currently the most studied natural polyphenol, given its vast amount of health benefits. A recent article even reports its mechanisms of action and the benefits applicable to human diseases of its anti-aging effects (de Pablos et al, 2019). In cardiovascular health, its benefits are undeniable and the quantities necessary for a daily consumption were based on the Mediterranean diet. Vitoli® Cardiovascular therefore contains the dose recommended by the European Union of a very high quality extract from selected olives grown in Spain.
The second ingredient is Coenzyme Q10. Have you heard about it? It is a powerful antioxidant, but as I have explained in my books, antioxidants often have more important biological roles than the function of reducing systemic oxidation. Coenzyme Q10 is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain of the mitochondria (our cellular energy powerhouses). During energy production, electrons travel from molecule to molecule in the cellular wall of the mitochondria (our cellular energy powerhouses), transferring energy to molecules that serve as the energy source for all our cells. The final destination for the electron is coenzyme Q10. Its role is essential for energy production, but also for the health of the mitochondria. Thus, all tissues rich in mitochondria need an adequate supply of coenzyme Q10: the kidneys, the liver, the walls of the blood vessels and the heart. These are also the most energy-consuming organs (along with the brain). The significant beneficial uses of coenzyme Q10, the best scientifically demonstrated, are the reduction of blood pressure (when it is too high), the reduction of muscle pain related to taking cholesterol medications (statins) and heart health in general, especially for people who have already had a heart attack.
The last ingredients include 3 vitamins beneficial to cardiovascular health: vitamins B6, B9 and B12. A blog article, written by a pharmacist, discusses the risks of vitamin B12 deficiency that are common as we age. These three B vitamins are linked to cardiovascular health for their ability to reduce an important disease marker: homocysteine. A high level of homocysteine is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and nerve degeneration. The causal link is well established, but the effect of reducing the risk by taking group B vitamins is still unclear. Homocysteine is produced from an amino acid, a component of protein, and can be reduced by the action of vitamin B6 or vitamins B9 and B12 combined. Since taking these vitamins can only be beneficial, we thought it advisable to add them to produce the best product in preventing the risks of cardiovascular disease.
Here are the health claims allowed by Health Canada for this product:
– Helps maintain and support cardiovascular health.
– Antioxidant for the maintenance of good heart health.
Our hearts work hard, continuously, it is important to take care of it.

Unpolished dals are more nutritious than polished dals. Native varieties of dal are more flavorful and nutritious than hybrid varieties because they are naturally resistant to pests and require fewer or no pesticides or fertilisers to grow. There is no preservative/chemical coating on Ecobuddy Dals, which makes it handy to soak and cook. And so, please use it within 60 days from the date of packing, or refrigerate.
Furthermore, Bengal gramme seeds are small and stupid and have a harsh coat. Chickpeas, as a rich source of nutrients, minerals, and fiber, may also provide a variety of scientific advantages, for example, enhancing processing, assisting the weight gain board, and decreasing the risk of a few ailments. Furthermore, chickpeas are high in protein and make an excellent meat substitute for veggie lovers and vegetarians who watch their calories.

Every once in a while, we are fortunate enough to stumble across a coffee so special that it essentially forces us to reimagine what is possible in the world of coffee. And when this Ethiopian treasure first touched our lips, well, we knew that this very experience is exactly what was awaiting for us!
During harvest, the juicy coffee cherries are lovingly handpicked and it's beans delicately placed on raised African beds to dry without removing the pulp or skin. This process helps lock in the juicy notes of blueberry and apricot, whilst ensuring the coffee retains its elegant levels of acidity.
In addition to this, the drinker will also enjoy creamy notes of vanilla and honey that help to further round out this deliciously smooth coffee.
Grown in the renowned region of Yirgacheffe, which sits within the Sidamo Province, any specialty coffee expert will tell you that these beans come from one of the most ideal coffee growing regions in the world. So, what makes this region so special?
Well, for starters it features notoriously rich and fertile soils, along with plentiful rains and an abundance of skilled local farmers whose families have been perfecting the art of harvesting coffee for CENTURIES. Here, some of the most sought-after coffees in the world are produced.
As such, it should come as no surprise that a cup of this delightful coffee will offer a rich and flavorful experience that may just change the way you look at coffee. And we are very glad we can offer it here in Israel.
- Features notes of blueberry, apricot, caramel, toffee, honey, and vanilla
- Full bodied with a persistent and delightful aftertaste
- Delicate levels of acidity offer a very round profile
- Extremely versatile – perfect for brewing any way you like

We spent 4th of July week at our favorite place ~ Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort in South Carolina. We absolutely love Hilton Head Island, and of course anything Disney related is always fun. My in-laws flew in from Texas, so we really enjoyed spending the week and catching up with them. Most of the time we go out for dinner since vacation is all about relaxing and new experiences, but I decided I was going to make my Low Country Boil (click here for the recipe) for the 4th so we could avoid the crowds. We biked around and found this wonderful little seafood stand called Barnacle Bill's for our shrimp. Barnacle Bill was so nice and he even let me take his picture. Wish we could have had those lobster tails for dinner, but the shrimp was definitely more afforable!
Barnacle Bill also had some nice tomatoes, so we grabbed a few of them for our salad. They were so sweet and tasty! So our 4th of July dinner consisted of a Low Country Boil, Tossed Salad, rolls and my Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie for dessert. See this post for the recipe - it's the bomb! My daughter and father-in-law fought over the last piece - next year I will definitely have to make two.
For those of you that know about my Diet Coke addiction, this is my absolute favorite thing about vacationing at Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort. I know it's sad, but it's true!!! As soon as we get to the resort I buy us these refillable Disney mugs. They cost about $15 each with tax, but I can fill it up from morning to night with as much Diet Coke as I can drink for our entire stay! I am in Diet Coke heaven!! I love you Mickey!
One of our favorite places to dine outside in Hilton Head is Scott's Fish Market in Shelter Cove. The view is so pretty and the food is wonderful. My mother-in-law ordered this Mojito for me. She actually said I had to drink one with her! Is she the best mother-in-law or what! Scott makes a mean mojito!
I ordered this Grilled Shrimp Salad for dinner and ate every last bite!
Another one of our favorite spots is this little dive called the Sea Shack. This restaurant is really small inside, but definely big on taste! Each day they offer different sides to go with your seafood choice and let me tell ya....you want to go on the day they have Sweet Potato Cornbread! This stuff is amazing!!! I was lucky enough to get the recipe and will be trying it at home soon, so stay tuned.
Madison's favorite breakfast was her Mickey Mouse waffle. Yes, even teenagers love Mickey!
Well I hope you enjoyed this little glimpse of our family vacation and if you ever get the chance to stay at Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort, you should definitely go.
Thank you Chere and Ron for a wonderful vacation!

Mobile billboard takes over the D.C. streets exposing “Net Neutrality Traitors” who have failed to support the Congressional Review Act
Today, on the one year anniversary of the FCC’s resoundingly unpopular repeal of net neutrality, Fight for the Future has launched a mobile digital billboard which will circle the Capitol grounds for more than 8 hours on Friday exposing the lawmakers who have put the interests of giant telecom companies over those of their constituents by refusing to sign on to the House resolution to restore open Internet protections..
The billboard features the individual face of every congress member who has betrayed net neutrality by remaining absent from the CRA discharge petition and the total amount of money they have taken in campaign contributions from big ISPs like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon.
Following each congress member the video billboard will display photos of constituents who signed an open letter to Congress and submitted photos in support of net neutrality. The billboard will also direct users to BattleForTheNet.com where they can see how their lawmakers scores on net neutrality.
Lawmakers have until the end of the Congressional session to show that they support real net neutrality protections by signing on to the discharge petition. Three reps have signed on in recent weeks: Joe Morelle (D-NY), Susan Wild (D-PA), and Frederica Wilson (D-FL). Yesterday, Rep Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) announced that she will sign on to the discharge petition after she faced massive online backlash for posting a video saying she wasn’t going to. Fight for the Future launched DemsAgainstThe.Net, a campaign shining a spotlight on the handful of remaining House Democrats who have failed to sign the petition, all of whom have taken large contributions from telecom companies, which has generated significant local and national media attention.
Earlier this month the Internet users from across the country were joined by companies like Etsy, Pinterest, and Postmates and celebrities like Alyssa Milano and Tom Morello for an Internet-wide day of action. Thousands took to DeadlineForNetNeutrality.com to sign an open letter to Congress containing a heartfelt plea to overturn the FCC’s repeal.
In the year since the FCC repeal, millions people have taken action through BattleForTheNet.com. Tens of thousands of Internet users, 7,000 small business owners, 4,600 US veterans, and thousands of first responders have signed on to open letters. Volunteers have organized hundreds of protests and in-person meetings with lawmakers in support of the CRA and more than 1.9 million phone calls have been made to Congress.

EQ refers to human emotional intelligence, which is people's ability to understand, express, control and use emotions, and is an important basis for interpersonal communication and social adaptation. In life and work, people with high emotional intelligence are more likely to communicate and cooperate with others and succeed more easily. On the contrary, people with low EQ will often face various problems, which will affect their own development. This paper mainly talks about 10 characteristics of people with low emotional intelligence.
people with low emotional intelligence often lack self-confidence. They often have doubts about their own abilities and future development, and lack recognition of themselves. This mentality will make them easily lose confidence and unable to move forward firmly.
people with low emotional intelligence often show weakness and fatigue when facing challenges and failures. They often lack the ability of independent thinking and doubt their own decisions, so they are prone to fidgety and lack the courage to cope with difficulties.
People who lack self-confidence will also appear timid when interacting with others and dare not express their opinions. This mentality will make them lose their enthusiasm and lack the feeling of interpersonal communication.
People with low EQ need to cultivate self-confidence, improve their cognition and ability, so as to communicate with others better.
people with low emotional intelligence often lack self-control. It is often difficult for them to control their emotions and behaviors, and it is easy for them to make impulsive decisions. In life, they may lose control because of mood swings, and often make themselves make mistakes inexplicably.
People who lack self-control often lack the strength to persist in their goals and the ability to plan their time, so they tend to lack plans in their work and life, pursue short-term fun and ignore long-term goals.
People who lack self-control need to start from self-discipline and planning their own time and goals, create a self-disciplined image, and manage their behaviors and emotions in daily life.
people with low emotional intelligence often lack empathy. It is difficult for them to pay attention to and understand other people's emotions and feelings, and they often ignore and ignore other people's opinions and needs. This attitude will affect their relationship with others, making it difficult to integrate into the team or become an excellent leader.
People who lack empathy tend to hurt others' feelings in communication, and also reduce their social and interpersonal skills.
People who lack empathy need to always pay attention to other people's emotions and feelings, and try to understand and experience other people's pain and happiness, so as to enhance their compassion and love.
people with low emotional intelligence often lack patience. They often lack patience and persistence, and can't bear the frustrations and frustrations in the process. This mentality will make it difficult for them to achieve fixed goals and lead to the lack of long-term benefits.
Impatient people are prone to get in the way when facing difficulties and challenges, give up prematurely and miss opportunities.
People who are impatient need to set their own goals and make plans for a longer period of time, practice more self-control, do not rush for temporary achievements, but keep long-term investment and wait patiently.
people with low emotional intelligence often lack self-awareness. They don't know themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, and their values and positioning.
People who lack self-awareness are prone to make mistakes in choosing careers, making friends and living, and it is difficult to avoid emotional fluctuations and psychological confusion, which is not conducive to long-term success.
People who lack self-awareness should fully understand themselves, including their hobbies, motivations, preferences and abilities. This will help them understand themselves and better cope with challenges and opportunities.
People with low EQ often lack the ability of self-regulation. They are easily influenced by emotions and stress, leading to fatigue and depression. This kind of mentality will make them lack energy and motivation, and their work efficiency is low, which is not conducive to their daily life.
In the face of pressure and challenges, people who lack self-regulation tend to fall into negative emotions, thus reducing their attention, enthusiasm and creativity.
People who lack the ability of self-regulation need to cultivate investment and determination, and establish a long-term self-protection mechanism through a good lifestyle and a positive attitude.
people with low emotional intelligence often lack attention and concentration. They often can't concentrate on completing tasks or dealing with important things. This mentality will make them more dispersed and unable to communicate effectively with others.
When studying or working, people who lack attention and concentration are often easily disturbed and distracted by the outside world, leading to mental stress and inefficiency.
people who lack attention and concentration need to learn to concentrate on reducing distractions and external interference through scientific planning and flexible time management, thus improving work efficiency.
People with low EQ often lack effective communication skills. It is difficult for them to express their ideas and needs, and they do not accurately understand and explain the opinions and needs of others. This kind of communication error will lead to interpersonal tension, unhappiness and mistakes.
Effective communication is one of the key skills to build good interpersonal relationships. If you lack this skill, it will not only reduce work efficiency, but also affect your personal image and development prospects.
People who lack effective communication skills should try to improve their communication skills, listen to and understand other people's goals and motivations, and make their information clear to others.
people with low emotional intelligence often lack creativity and innovation. It is difficult for them to come up with new ideas and solutions, and they lack the ability to cope with challenges and changes. This mentality will make their behavior more conservative and it is difficult to adapt to the complex and changeable environment.
Creativity and innovation are one of the important factors of success, which can make individuals avoid outdated ideas and inferior development, and promote greater opportunities and achievements.
People who lack creativity and innovation should start with observing and learning from other people's creative ways, and establish their own creative thinking mode with the goal of challenging themselves and exploring new fields.
people with low emotional intelligence often lack action and decision-making power. They are often difficult to take measures to deal with problems, unwilling to take risks and prone to indecision. This mentality will make them lose the opportunity to explore and try new fields or jobs.
mobility and decision-making power are one of the important factors of personal success. Only by learning to make decisions, undertaking independent actions and creating new opportunities and achievements can we achieve success.
People who lack mobility and decision-making power need to establish the habit of positive action and decision-making, deal with and solve specific problems by observing, analyzing and studying the market and working environment, and make more efforts for the future.
People with low EQ often face all kinds of difficulties and challenges, and cannot fully exert their potential. Only by constantly cultivating and improving their emotional intelligence and psychological quality can we communicate and cooperate with others better and achieve success.

As one of the leading educational institutions in the Netherlands, the UT has set its ambitious development goals to grow a fair, sustainable and digital society. A couple of years ago the Shaping 2030 program was established to settle down these goals and now it is time to work towards them. However, the more ambitious aims you set, the more creative solutions you need to reach those. And this is what the big guys from the management team miss, this is what we need your input for. This year the focus is made on designing Energy, Events and Food&Drinks use in UT in a more efficient and sustainable manner.
This event is meant for the students of UT at any level of study and can be as serious or fun as you want it to be. The thinktank is a one-day event that includes a brainstorming workshop, socialising activities, a final elevator pitch and, of course, free food. Depending on your mindset you can win small prizes in one of the numerous categories. There are multiple ways to come out of the event with something. The aim of this day is to have fun, meet new people, be creative and come up with good ideas. Taking part is free of charge.
After the thinktank, those who wish to prototype their ideas more seriously can (not mandatory) continue to the second phase of the event. This phase is spread out through 2 weeks and includes multiple workshops on design thinking by University Innovation Fellows. It concludes with a final presentation of the prototype to SEE members and the representative of the executive board Machteld Roos.


InterSolar: the World’s Leading Exhibition for Solar Industry
Solar energy seems to be the best bet when it comes to energy matters. Growth of photovoltaics has been overwhelming in the last two decades: the number of investors has risen and technology costs have reduced significantly. In 2013, solar plants produced 139 gigawatts of power, sufficient enough to meet 1% of world’s electricity needs.
By 2050, solar energy shall be a major source of power for every country, along with other kinds of green energy, such as wind power. To fulfill about 30% of the global energy demand, solar power plants will need to produce at least 4,600 GW. And undoubtedly, India will be a big piece in this global puzzle.
Looking to the future, investors and governments are discussing the best alternatives and searching for sustainable options. In this article, we present to you InterSolar, the world’s leading exhibition for solar industry that gathers, in the same space, the best specialist, manufacturers and installers of solar around the world.
The main goal of the solar expo is to share knowledge and present new concepts or technologies related to solar energy. By supporting a sustainable development and energy efficiency, InterSolar aims to be a tool that is able to reunite people interested in solar market. “Connecting Solar Business” is the slogan of the solar exhibition that has spread across 4 continents.
Adjusting to the reality of each country, InterSolar organizes 5 exhibitions: InterSolar Europe; InterSolar North America; InterSolar South America; InterSolar China; and InterSolar India. The goal is to customize itself to the needs of each corner of the globe and to foster a solar culture across the planet. After all, climate change, global warming and energy depletion are problems that concern us all.
What is the story behind InterSolar?
The roots of InterSolar were seeded in 1991. The exhibition was then called Solar ’91 and was organized by members of the Working Group for Environmental Technology, in Pforzheim, South Germany. The first exhibition had the duration of one day, and saw participation of 5 companies that presented their own solar products.
The project has grown since then. In 1999, “Solar” gathered 142 exhibitors and more than 8,400 visitors. With so many number of visitors Pforzheim’s exhibition center was not able to accommodate the exhibition. “Solar” then moved to Freiburg. It soon crossed the borders of Germany due to many international participants. The organization, thus, decided to rename the exhibition to InterSolar.
After conquering Europe, InterSolar decided to expand to other continents. 2008 was the year of the first InterSolar North America, in San Francisco. One year later, the project arrived in Mumbai, India. More recently, in 2011 and 2013, InterSolar expanded its activities into China and South America, respectively.
InterSolar India and the future role of the country
As we have said in our earlier articles, India is a central piece of the global solar puzzle. The investment in this clean source might well be the solution to many energy problems faced by the country. If the necessity of the supporting solar power is realized, the advantages are enormous: in the near future, India can become one of the largest energy producers worldwide.
Thus, there is no doubt that it is important to cultivate a solar culture, investing in ecological and sustainable solutions that can simultaneously be used by residential/home consumers, by commercial entities/businesses, or by even the farmers on their lands. In fact, the installation of photovoltaic panels is a secure high yield bet for those who want to save money and reduce their energy bills.
InterSolar India’s objective is to gather the best solutions and boost the contact between solar agents from different markets. And the numbers prove its success: in 2013, there were 170 international exhibitors and around 8000 visitors. Looking for the next step in solar sustainability, the exhibition has featured over 100 speakers who have explored the latest questions in related fields, such as technology, politics and environment.
The reactions to the exhibition are extremely positive and confirm IndiaSolar as a respected event for the sharing of solar knowledge and an excellent means to interact with the movers and shakers of the solar market and discover what’s next for the solar industry.
The E-Book DISCOVER HOW YOU CAN BE SUCESSFUL IN THE SOLAR INDUSTRY includes a list of solar exhibitions and solar trainings in India. We produced this E-Book for you so that you can discover how to enter the solar market. Download now HERE.

Crash West of Cheyenne Results in Three Fatalities
Speed, intoxication, and inattention are all contributing factors in the latest fatal crash in the Cowboy State, according to a release from the Wyoming Highway Patrol.

Hypertension is actually recognized to cause other wellness ailments like cardiovascular system attack as well as stroke, so it's crucial to consult your physician if you have wellness problems including these.
One more problem with higher blood stream pressure that is actually related to erectile dysfunction is atherosclerosis. Coronary artery disease takes place when fatty down payments on the within your canals become plaques or even hardening of the artery wall surfaces. These plaques limit the entranceway for blood as well as oxygen to flow by means of. One more complication that can easily increase the danger of building ED is actually angina. A spell of angina can easily compromise the heart muscles and also increase the danger of heart disease, specifically heart problem and also coronary vein condition.
Other achievable variables that may lead to ED are aging as well as diabetes mellitus. Older guys usually tend to establish erectile dysfunction considering that they shed muscle toughness as they grow older. Diabetics typically have a health condition called diabetic outer arterial disease. This problem takes place when the blood stream vessels in the limbs are actually blocked or limited through high amounts of blood sugar level.
The last aspect that is actually linked with ED is actually psychological concerns. A variety of mental health conditions can easily trigger ED. A number of the much more common emotional health conditions include clinical depression and anxiousness. These kinds of mental health conditions can easily result in the start of erectile dysfunction. These health conditions normally start when an individual resides in their the middle of to overdue 20s and also they haven't totally conquer their emotional issues. Having said that, mental concerns perform certainly not straight create erectile dysfunction.
There are a lot of physical problems that may likewise be linked with the development of erectile dysfunction. Reduced testosterone levels can lead to lowered semen matter, a lot less sperm development as well as decreased sex drive. These concerns are a lot more common in males with a lower than mean testosterone degree. Reduced testosterone is among the most usual root causes of erectile dysfunction.
There are actually some lifestyle choices that you can make that can easily improve your chances of overcoming erectile dysfunction. Some of these way of living options is alcohol usage. Liquor make use of adversely affects both your libido and your overall health.

It decreases your testosterone degrees which may trigger an incapability to obtain as well as maintain a construction or to maintain any type of kind of penile erection whatsoever. The chemicals in cigarette smoke cigarettes in fact inflame your urethra as well as they minimize blood stream flow to the pelvic region. A shortage of blood to the pelvic location implies there is less lubrication available to attend to a penile erection in the course of sex.

Ottawa police detectives were busy on Saturday, working two homicides.
The suspect in one case turned herself in Friday at Elgin Street police headquarters with a defence lawyer at her side. Nichole Hover, 44, surrendered just past suppertime after contacting her lawyer, Robert McGowan.
She appeared in court Saturday morning and was formally charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Brian Blondin, 62.
Blondin had been found dead in his Sidney Street apartment in Little Italy late Friday afternoon.
Hover did not live with Blondin. Her lawyer said Saturday she was in relatively good spirits, all things considered.
“It’s very early, obviously, and we’re in a holding pattern as we’re waiting for disclosure,” McGowan said.
Hover was held in custody and awaited her next court appearance.
The homicide on Sidney Street came one day after Austin Simon, a carpenter by trade, was knifed to death on a sidewalk near the Shepherds of Good Hope shelter on Murray Street.
Police announced late Saturday evening the arrest of a male in connection with that case. “Police are not seeking other suspects,” the force said in a media release.
The accused, Ignace Kayiranga, 33, wore a green collared shirt and a black windbreaker when he appeared by video in Ottawa court on Sunday morning. Evidence presented at his hearing is covered by a publication ban.
Simon, 39, was killed around 10:25 p.m. on Halloween night. Ottawa Inner City Health staff, who run a safe-injection site from a trailer on the property, found him unconscious. He had no vital signs and efforts to revive him were in vain.
Paramedics took Simon to hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after that.
The shelter was put on lockdown as a precaution, but reopened shortly afterwards.

Attempting to get an update on the oncoming Hurricane Irma from a Florida beach, MSNBC host Alex Witt had a mini-meltdown over a windsurfer still out in the waves behind a wind-blown correspondent urging locals to flee.
Speaking with reporter Mariana Atencio who was standing on a mostly deserted beach in Miami, host Witt began, “Winds have clearly picked up, as has the surf, which means that the storm surge would be approaching.”
As the windsurfer came into the shot frame, Witt was stunned.
“Mariana , before you get reporting, is that somebody kite-surfing behind you? Oh, come on!” she exclaimed.
“That’s exactly what I wanted to show you, Alex” Atencio replied. “This is not the scene that officials here, first responders want to be looking at. Because the storm has shifted slightly west, you’re starting to see people here in Miami Beach — which is under a mandatory evacuation order — doing water sports.”
“There are onlookers taking photos. there are also about a dozen people in front of me. it’s a similar scene over on the other side. this is not, again, what the mayor of Miami Beach who called this a ‘nuclear hurricane,’ wants to be seeing right now,” she continued.
“Can I just ask, are there police or security around to tell people to stay out of the waters?” the concerned Witt asked. “Because we know that they have said once the winds hit a certain speed, and it would look like they have hit them already, that they’re clearing the streets themselves.”
Atencio noted that,” Right now, on this stretch of the beach, I’m not seeing any police around. But I have seen them on every corner of Miami Beach.”

Where is the origin of the “Terres d’Oh!”?
Since the waterways of Alsace and Lorraine are among the most beautiful in France and the surrounding nature can be appreciated by everyone, the association (in partnership with Voie Navigable de France (VNF)) decided to develop and promote a tourist destination that goes beyond borders.
By uniting their actions, the members aim to create a European destination devoted to river tourism and soft mobility along the canals
Establishing an attractive, original identity raises the profile of the area, which has considerable assets:
- high-quality infrastructures for pleasure boaters and tourists from every corner of the world;
- an unspoilt natural environment with a wide diversity of plants and wildlife;
- a remarkable cultural and historical heritage;
- walking and cycling trials and waterways suitable for people of all ages;
- attractive holiday packages and get-away breaks for eco-tourism enthusiasts.
The members of the association
- The Conurbation Community Council of Sarreguemines Confluences
- The Community of Municipalities of Alsace Bossue
- The Community of Municipalities of Saulnois
- The Community of Municipalities of Sarrebourg Moselle Sud
- The municipalities of: Grosbliederstroff, Sarreguemines, Wittring, Sarralbe, Harskirchen, Mittersheim, Niderviller and Lagarde
- The SaarMoselle Eurodistrict
- The French National Association for pleasure boating on inland waters
- The French Association for the development and promotion of river tourism
- NAVIG’France, the company responsible for managing the marina in Lagarde
The association's main projects
Within the framework of the 2018-2020 canal contract established between VNF and the Bassin Touristique de la Sarre Association, the signatories undertake to develop the attractiveness of the area through various initiatives:
- the creation of an innovative and internationally-oriented communication strategy to be deployed from 2018 onwards
- the creation of a "tourist pass" valid across the whole area until 2020
- the creation of appropriate signposting and information panels across the whole area
- initiatives aimed at raising the awareness of users (cyclists, boaters, VNF officers) as regards "living together" and protecting the environment
- the development of walking and cycling circuits between the villages and canals
- the promotion of sustainable waste-management on the canals
- the installation of recharging terminals for electric boats
- the development of self-service transport means and electric bikes
- the development of tourist accommodation
- the creation of events to promote the waterways and ports
The development of river tourism
Driven by the Bassin Touristique de la Sarre association, the Terres d'Oh! destination is promoted through the tourist offices' offers and the initiatives implemented by tourism professionals or by the municipalities.

Wizz Air airplane370.
(photo credit: Reuters)
Wizz Air, the popular low cost European airline that flies to 95 destinations in 35 countries announced that in the fall it would be adding new routes from Tel Aviv to Vilnius, Lithuania to Katowice, Poland and to Cluj, Romania.
The announcement was made at the Lithuanian National Day reception in Tel Aviv, that was hosted by the Lithuanian ambassador to Israel Darius Degutis.
Wizz, based in Hungary, plans to start bi-weekly flights to Vilnius and three weekly flights to Katowice this coming October. Starting in November it will add two weekly flights to Cluj.
Director of Communications for Wizz, Daniel de Carvalho, quipped at the reception that starting prices for a one way fare to Vilnius at around NIS 250, was not much more than what he paid in taxi fare from Ben Gurion Airport to the center of Tel Aviv.
De Carvalho clarified that the first few seats on each Wizz Air flight were available at a reduced fare.
He said that the Israel-EU "Open Skies
" agreement that was signed last month is what has made possible the increase in Wizz Air flights to Israel. The agreement allows EU airlines to operate direct flights to Israel from anywhere in the EU.
The airline has had a presence in Tel Aviv since December 2012. It currently flies daily to Budapest and three times a week to Bucharest from Tel Aviv.
De Carvalho estimated 200,000 people will be carried on Wizz Air's five Tel Aviv routes combined. The airline's hope was that Europeans would use the routes to come to Israel in the fall and winter to escape the weather when the thermostat plummets, and that Israelis would fly to get some relief from the broiling Middle Eastern summer sun.
But Eastern Europe has much more to offer Israelis than a pleasant climate. Hosting the largest Jewish populations in the world before being decimated in the Holocaust, many Israelis have roots there and it is popular for Israeli families to make family pilgrimages to see the places where their ancestors came from.
Whatever the reason for travel, it is hard to argue with lower air fare and Israelis will continue to welcome Wizz Air and other low cost European airlines as the Open Skies agreement begins to take off.

[Editor's note: For additional reading on the topics discussed in this article, see Using a multicore RTOS for DSP applications.]
You may find that your best time to market, cost, and performance will come from a heterogeneous processor architecture—that is, a processor that includes both general-purpose processor (GPP) and digital signal processor (DSP) cores. Combining two or more processors into your design allows you to draw on the strengths of both, increasing your overall efficiency. Such a design, however, introduces new challenges to the software designer. How will you partition the system for optimal loading levels between the processors? How will you perform scheduling on independent processors to ensure dependent activities are executed in order and with the lowest latency? And how can you optimize inter-processor communications so that the computational benefits of a heterogeneous design are not lost to data-transfer overhead?
In this article, we will examine how to program a heterogeneous processor architecture based on the proven method of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC). We will examine how this method addresses the concerns listed above. We also explain how the RPC introduces some pitfalls, and show how they may be avoided.
Remote Procedure Call basics
The first widespread usage of the Remote Procedure Call concept was in the UNIX operating system in the 1980s, though its usage dates back at least to the 1970s. Whereas a Local Procedure Call (LPC), also known as a function call or subroutine, is executed on the processor that issues the command, a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a command executed on a different processor.
In the terminology of the RPC, the command-issuing processor is known as the Client and the command-executing processor is known as the Server (see Figure 1). The Client sends the command and its parameters to the Server over a physical communications medium, possibly employing some kind of communications protocol or stack. We will refer to this physical medium and communications protocol as the Inter-Processor Communications (IPC) Layer. In the case of computers, this layer is typically a network. For embedded processors, there are many options for implementing this layer, such as a PCI bus, serial or parallel data port, or shared memory. Once the server completes execution of the command, it sends a message back through the IPC Layer to the Client, providing any return values of the procedure.
1. A simplified view of the RPC software layers.
The actual RPC mechanism is implemented through stub functions. There is a client stub function and a server stub function for every remote procedure. The application calls the client stub function just as it would make a local procedure call. However, instead of performing the requested function, the client stub packages the command and any needed parameters into a message and accesses the IPC layer to send the message. The IPC layer on the server device receives the message and passes it to the server stub. The server stub then unpacks the command and parameters from the message and makes the function call, acting as a remote proxy for the application. When the function returns, the server stub packages any return values into a return message which it sends via the IPC back to the client stub, which then returns the values to the application.


LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Dr. Olaniyi Olaoye and the other resident doctors at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria haven't been paid at all for five months.
Since the pandemic began, there have been many months when they've only received 60% of their salaries, bringing at least six of them to resign.
Now Olaoye and some 19,000 other doctors across Africa's most populous nation are on strike for the fourth time since the pandemic began, leaving government-run hospitals and COVID-19 treatment centers short-staffed.
The latest work stoppage comes as Nigeria confronts an avalanche of new COVID-19 cases blamed on the delta variant first detected here in early July.
Doctors who are lucky have wives who work and are depending on their income, he said. "Life is difficult for those who are not," he said.
Already Nigerian media outlets are reporting that patients — some with COVID-19 symptoms — are being turned away at short-staffed hospitals. Other patients have been discharged into the streets or left to languish in hospital beds without being diagnosed or receiving treatment.
At the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, The Associated Press witnessed two patients turned away shortly after they arrived at the emergency room last week.
“We cannot admit — resident doctors are on strike," a doctor on duty was overheard telling one of the patients. "When they call off the strike, you come back.”
Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi, president of the National Association of Resident Doctors, said the federal health ministry has sent him a letter warning that the country's 19,000 medical residents don't have the right to strike.
“Imagine a doctor not paid for 16 months in some states,” Okhuaihesuyi told The Associated Press. "How does he even provide food for his family?”
Nigerian Health Minister Dr. Osagie Ehanire and the Federal Ministry of Health both declined to comment and said a briefing would be held at a later date.
The strike is the fourth work stoppage by medical residents since the pandemic began, the longest of which lasted 10 days.
While the current work stoppage does not affect specialist doctors or nurses, medical residents make up the bulk of health care workers at government hospitals throughout Nigeria, and they also staff most of the government-run treatment facilities for COVID-19.
The striking doctors worry about their patients but place the blame on the federal government, saying it failed to honor an earlier agreement reached after the last strike in April.
“We don’t get paid enough for what we do; we have a diminished workforce, a lot of people are overworked," said Egbekun Ethel, a resident doctor at the Lagos Orthopedic hospital where patients were discharged into the streets to wait for the strike's end. “And it is not only the resident doctors who are disgruntled — the entire health sector is.”
For her, it has been a “vicious cycle" of always returning to work with “little or no rest" and a meager salary.
Some resident doctors say they have not started to receive the reviewed monthly minimum wage of N30,000 ($73) for doctors, according to the association that represents them.
Nigeria's health minister has said that he is "committed' to getting the resident doctors back to work, though he has said that most of their demands are issues to be solved by state governments, not his ministry.
Nigeria's public health sector has not been sufficiently funded for years despite the country having one of Africa's biggest economies, budget documents show.
In 2021, funding for the Federal Ministry of Health was only 4% of the entire budget, or 549.8 billion naira ($1.34 billion). An additional 70.2 billion naira ($171.6 million) was provided because of the pandemic but that allocation remains a fraction of the African Union's recommendation that governments spend an additional 15% for healthcare during the pandemic.
Critics, meanwhile, point to the vast disparity between the government hospitals treating most Nigerians and the medical care abroad that is available to the country's elite. Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has had at least 200 days of medical care in the United Kingdom since he was elected president in 2015.
“You cannot go to any hospital in the country that has all the basic infrastructure and adequate manpower to treat patients,” said Okhuaihesuyi. “That is why most people that are in government that have money do not want to receive treatment in Nigeria.”
Dr. Agwu Nnanna at the Federal Medical Center in Nigeria's Kogi state said his colleagues are trapped in “a very unfortunate situation.”
“A doctor needs to take care of himself adequately to be able to cater to his patients as well,” he said.
