Stop and step away from the chicken nuggets. And that soda too.
A new study into what are known as ultra-processed foods, or foods pumped with a ton of sugar, colorings and other additives, suggests that the often tasty snacks may be linked to cancer.
The report, conducted in France and published in the British Medical Journal this week, reviewed the medical records and eating habits of close to 105,000 adults who have monitored their consumption of 3,300 different food items for the last nine years, USA TODAY reported. What researchers found was that a 10 percent increase in these ultra-processed foods was linked to a 12 percent increase in cancers.
Researchers also looked into whether the foods caused spikes in specific types of cancer, revealing an 11 percent increase in breast cancer but no significant upturn in colon and prostate cancers.
“… If confirmed in other populations [and] settings, these results suggest that the rapidly increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods may drive an increasing burden of cancer in the next decades,” researchers wrote.
Ultra-processed foods are common in both American and UK households, and include everything from soft drinks and snack cakes to frozen dinners and instant noodles. In addition to inorganic flavorings and preservatives, these items also often contain high levels of sugar, fat and salt.
It’s no surprise then that frequent eaters of these foods are also at a higher risk of obesity.
“It is already known that eating a lot of these foods can lead to weight gain, and being overweight or obese can also increase your risk of cancer, so it’s hard to disentangle the effects of diet and weight,” Professor Linda Bauld of Cancer Research UK told BBC.
Bauld added that, overall, the study is a “warning signal to us to have a healthy diet” but that folks shouldn’t be afraid to enjoy a processed snack “here and there,” so long as they are mostly filling up on fruits and veggies. Mathilde Touvier, lead author of the food study, echoed the same caution on the findings, saying more research needs to be done.
“The results are very strong – very consistent and quite compelling,” Touvier told The Guardian. “But we have to be cautious. It is the first study. We should not be alarmist. These results need to be confirmed in other prospective studies.”

Livin' Every Day
First Appeared at The Music Box, August 1999, Volume 6, #8
Written by John Metzger
If you like your blues with a hard rockiní edge, then Liviní Every Day, the latest offering from Walter Trout may be just the thing for you. The album is his third U.S. release and his second with producer Jim Gaines. Gainesí past experience working with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Blues Traveler, and Santana, no doubt made him the perfect candidate to showcase the guitar virtuoso in a rock setting.
Backed by a powerhouse band, Trout rips wickedly delicious guitar solos as the band congeals around a pulsating groove. Like Vaughan, Mike Bloomfield, and Jimi Hendrix, Trout pushes the blues to their limit, capturing their essence and spewing it back at a ferocious velocity. Just listen as he and his band drive Let Me Know to a feverish pitch and turn the political rant Say What You Mean into a funky groove.
Trout also has his finger on the pulse of R&B, and he uses this on several tracks to show his softer side and smooth vocal ability. The spiritually moving Sweet Butterfly, a song he wrote for friends who lost their daughter in a tragic accident, could have easily fit on a Marvin Gaye album, and Fool for Love floats above a majestic backdrop of acoustic and electric guitar, piano, and organ.
Thereís definitely a little something for everyone on Liviní Every Day, and Troutís expressive guitar playing and deeply personal lyrics resonate with passion and conviction. So far, Trout has found larger success in Europe, but thatís certain to change as audiences throughout the U.S. tune into Troutís masterful technique and ability. Ĺ

New Bedford Woman Sentenced for Drug Trafficking
BOSTON – A New Bedford woman was sentenced yesterday in federal court in Boston in connection with operating a drug trafficking ring in southeastern Massachusetts.
Chindy Diaz, 39, was sentenced by U.S. Senior District Court Judge Rya W. Zobel to three years in prison and five years of supervised release. In October 2016, Diaz pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
From 2014 to 2016, Diaz and nine co-defendants were members or associates of a drug trafficking organization headed by Luis Lopez that imported at least 50 to100 kilograms of cocaine from Puerto Rico to Massachusetts and distributed it in New Bedford and Fall River. Diaz received cocaine-filled packages for Lopez and coordinated money deliveries to Puerto Rico on Lopez’s behalf in order to purchase additional cocaine.
All 10 defendants charged in connection with this case have pleaded guilty and nine have been sentenced, including Lopez, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison in January 2017.
United States Attorney William D. Weinreb; Bristol County District Thomas M. Quinn; Michael J. Ferguson, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Boston Field Division; Joel P. Garland, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation in Boston; Shelly Binkowski, Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service; Fall River Police Acting Chief Albert Dupere; New Bedford Police Chief Joseph C. Cordeiro; Fairhaven Police Chief Michael Myers; and Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Rosen, of Weinreb’s Criminal Division, is prosecuting the cases.


Apply now for a subsidy for renewable heating for your home
A new phase of the Renewable Heat Premium Payment scheme opens for applications today.
The scheme, administered by the Energy Saving Trust, will provide subsidy for people in England, Scotland and Wales switching to use renewables or high-efficiency technologies such as heat pumps to heat their homes.
The type of subsidy available varies depending on how you currently heat your home. If you use gas, you can receive a subsidy for a solar thermal system to provide hot water. If you are currently using oil, LPG, solid fuel or electricity the range is much wider, including various types of heat pumps and biomass boilers.
Heat pump users will provide information about the use of the equipment via a heat meter - part of a government scheme to evaluate various types of heat pump before the start of a broader subsidy for renewables heating to be called the Renewable Heat Incentive.

German Addiction Congress 2018
"Interdisciplinary addiction" is the motto of all addiction conventions to date, and this year's theme will once again characterize our congress. A broad spectrum of topics with contributions from addiction research, addiction therapy and care practice including their neighbouring and secondary disciplines is addressed here.
Addiction research and addiction therapy concern the individual and his family, social and socio-economic relations. Accelerated maturing of young people and societal change require the current expertise of many disciplines and disciplines in the treatment and prevention of addiction.
Medicine, psychology, social therapy, social sciences, pedagogy, social pedagogy and educational sciences make valuable contributions in our interdisciplinary field. The transfer of basic research results, e. g. on the development and treatment of addiction, into therapeutic practice requires an increasingly interdisciplinary orientation of our field of expertise.
New forms of consumption and addiction One of several thematic priorities this year is devoted to the research, therapy and care of addictive young people and young adults at risk of addiction. New forms of consumption and addiction, such as the increasing use of e-shishas and e-cigarettes, intoxication, new psychoactive substances and addiction disorders related to the Internet and other media are addressed.
In 2018, the German Society for Addiction Research and Drug Treatment celebrates its 40th anniversary. We pay tribute to this special occasion in special forums and speeches.
There are many good reasons to come to Berlin in September 2018!

WHO'S GOING TO CORRAL THE INVESTMENT BANKS?
Bankers are furiously lobbying politicians to block change and.....
A strange veil of silence has been drawn over the reform of global banking.
The banking crisis of 2008 has come and gone. But the effects continue to rumble across the world, causing misery for countless millions and joy for a few bankers, who are rewarding themselves richly for lending governments the money they are using to bail out the banks!!
In the USA and UK, a strange veil of silence has fallen over how to deal with the mighty investment banks, whose power seems to stretch way beyond the reach of democracy.
In Britain, the new coalition government uses every opportunity to blame the previous New Labour administration for all economic ills. Only a few people seem to remember that the faults originally lay with virtually unregulated banks, which received full-hearted support from the then Conservative opposition party as well as Gordon Brown's government.
Behind the scenes the banking and finance industries are mounting massive lobbying campaigns in both Britain and America to stop any significant changes in the structure of banking. The UK Conservative Party has received massive support from Hedge Funds, Private Equity, big accountants and property developers, many of which shelter their profits in tax havens. ...... When did we last hear anything from senior government figures in Britain about iniquitous tax dodging by super-rich individuals, the finance industry, banks and big corporations??
So there seems a risk that the big investment banks will simply be allowed to continue business as normal, leading to the fear that even now the seeds of the next crisis are being sown in a dark corner of the unregulated and secretive derivatives markets.
But some people remember and are continuing to agitate for change. This is absolutely essential for the good of all on the planet save some bankers, currency traders, speculators and their political supporters.
One such person is Monika Mitchell. Her blog is reproduced below. I would just add that the issue of separating retail from casino banking is not mentioned.......
G20 Bankers of the Year: Faking ItNovember 13th, 2010 By Monika Mitchell
Vikram Pandit, CEO of the once dead-in-the-water global banking firm Citigroup has staged a comeback that is sure to be the envy of his financial industry colleagues. So greatly is he admired that only a few months ago he was named Euromoney's "Banker of the Year." That's not a joke. Why? Because, "He did a pretty good job," states Euromoney. I guess reviving a brain dead bank with a trillion dollar government resuscitator merits some kudos, if not sheer admiration for outsized cajones.
Vikram Pandit did bring Citi back from the brink with a little help from Uncle Ben...I mean Uncle Sam. Pandit lamented this past week's at G-20 Summit in Seoul, South Korea that, "I'm living in parallel universes." It seems the Big Vik is welcomed warmly in Europe and Korea, while back in the U.S., "the real universe...its cold." (He might think about buying a sweater to bring home. South Korea is a manufacturing center.)
What would account for the lack of love for Citi's chief honcho in the real universe? Let's see...29% interest on credit cards? Nope, that is standard fare for Citibank. Arbitrary decrease of credit lines and loan terms? No, that is Citibank atypical too. Foreclosing on ordinary folks with abandon while the U.S. gov foots the bill for the bank's bad debts? Now we are getting warmer. Or maybe its contributing directly to a global financial crisis that cost eight million people their homes, thirty million their jobs, and seventy-five million people their lifestyles, retirements, savings, children's education -all while collecting $45 billion in direct government aid as a reward. By George, I think we've got it!
Yes, the government bailouts that just keep on giving (TARP, TALF, Fed Discount Window), really must account for the chilly embrace of U.S. financial institutions on this side of the wide Atlantic Ocean. Citigroup has decided that the American people are just too much trouble and invested in Europe and Asia to everyone's delight-over there. Hence Banker of the Year.
However, none of Citibank's insolvency was Pandit's fault when he arrived in December 2007 just in time to clean up the mess his predecessor Chuck Prince left behind. Prince claimed, No one saw the losses coming...So much for humility.
Nobility and heroism are not big on Wall Street these days. This month's banking reform negotiations at the G-20 conference are no exception. The contentious issue at hand is the ratification of the global financial reform bill, Basel III. The bill calls for higher capital requirements of 7% equity from bank holding companies. Some say the increase outlined is Basel is too high; others say it is not high enough.
In a Financial Times OpEd, Pandit writes that raising capital requirements over 7% will adversely affect consumers, small business and medium-sized businesses (SMEs)-"the primary job creators in our economy." He claims, "No one disputes that riskier loans should be backed by higher levels of capital. But basing risk measurements almost entirely on data from the crisis years will mean that the "haves" who need credit the least will get the most, and pay the least for it. The "have-nots" who need credit will be those hurt most."
The irony of his statement is that Citibank is already doing this - giving credit to those who "have" and denying credit to those who "have not." Citi like every other U.S. bank is closing credit accounts, lines-of-credit, and loans by the tens of millions. If Pandit really believes his passionate discourse, he would begin a major lending program for the dying-on-the-vine SMEs he so thoughtfully mentioned. To bet on your own country's economic recovery-that would be a risk worth taking.
Cash is King
Conversely, former Chief Economist and MIT economics professor, Simon Johnson writes in his popular blog that capital limits outlined in Basel are grossly inadequate. He emphatically disagrees with the banker's dramatic warnings. "Mr. Pandit is completely wrong." He cites the expertise of Stanford Professor Anat Admati and colleagues, "the kind of people that trained Mr. Pandit and his generation of bank executives."
Admati wrote a rebuttal to Pandit's claims in the Financial Times. It was endorsed by twenty world-class economists. She writes, "Basel III is far from sufficient to protect the system from recurring crises. If a much larger fraction, at least 15% of banks' total, non-risk weighted assets were funded by equity, the social benefits would be substantial. And the social costs would be minimal, if any."
Pandit claims 7% reserves are enough; the economists urge the G20 to more than double that amount. So who are we going to believe? A top banker who is part of a club renowned for its outsized self-interest that resulted in a global meltdown of unimaginable suffering for hundreds of millions of people? Or 21 of the top independent economists (meaning their paychecks are not contingent on the outcome) who warn of dire circumstances by repeating the awful mistakes of the recent past? Well...bankers of course!
"Officials listen to bank CEOs and an Op Ed gets their attention," writes Johnson. Did I mention that Basel III reform pact was headed by European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet? That is the EU's equivalent to Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve Bank. Who did Big Ben listen to when structuring TARP? Former Goldman Sachs CEO Hank Paulson-naturally.
The argument is simple despite the complexities of global finance. Do you continue to borrow at high levels with little equity behind it? Or do you increase your safety net of assets to minimize potential losses? Many bankers in recent years blamed ordinary consumers for the economic crisis. They accused individuals of not saving enough and living beyond their means. Why don't they take their own advice?
Simon Johnson continues, "The deepest thinkers - founders and mainstays of the entire field of finance - are finally standing up and saying: Enough of this nonsense. You may wish to pretend that keeping capital requirements low is a good idea, but you should understand that this is pretense and bad science, pure and simple." Oh that hurts. He is essentially calling banking chiefs sneaky and stupid.
Yet, Chuck Prince's words echo in my mind... No one saw it coming. No one that is, on the receiving end of the big payouts. No one at the big banks. Those who did see it coming were in-fact world-renowned economists, Joseph Stiglitz, Nouriel Roubini, and you guessed it- Simon Johnson. It's remarkable when you have no agenda to gain or lose how clear your vision of reality can be. I guess bankers were blinded by the brilliant shades of gold and green in their view. Maybe MIT's Simon has a point.
Stanford's Admati writes, "High leverage encourages excessive risk taking and any guarantees exacerbate this problem." This sounds familiar. Hmmm...where have we heard this before?
I recall a lovely Spring day in 2004 at the Securities and Exchange Commission's Washington D.C. offices when the issue of capital limits was on the table. The day was April 28, 2004 to be exact. The cherry blossoms had bloomed and the incumbent war president was declaring "mission accomplished." Meanwhile back at the ranch (Wall Street), red-breasted robins were nesting in Battery Park; Trump was building new high-rises; Lehman Brothers was out to best Goldman, and Bear Stearns was on its way to trade at $159/share. The SEC was about to overturn leverage limits and bring on a global financial tsunami... Ah, but we were so young and foolish then.
William Donaldson, Chairman of the SEC and former CEO of the investment bank DLJ, voted along with four commissioners to reverse the "net capital rule" which limited leverage to 12-1 debt to assets for three decades. Donaldson stated, "We will help the financial services industry by removing regulatory obstacles that tilt the playing field or impose needless costs." The thought process was that banks knew best how to manage their risk limits. The great shock of the financial crisis was that banking CEOs and top managers had absolutely no clue.
Four years later on March 11, 2008, Donaldson's successor Christopher Cox confirmed this by saying, "We have a good deal of comfort about the capital cushions at these firms at the moment." In a matter of days on March 16, Bear Stearns the fifth largest investment bank in the world collapsed from excessive leverage and lack of adequate equity reserves. Lehman, Merrill, Morgan Stanley, Goldman, Bank of America, Wachovia, Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo, Indy Mac and the giant Citigroup followed shortly behind. Only a trillion dollar government bailout could stem the tide of defaults.
I know you remember all this, yet somehow global banking chiefs like Pandit seem to have forgotten.
Perhaps G20 officials also forget. Otherwise they would not be listening to the same bankers who created the crisis rather than non-partisan experts. After all it takes real know-how to collapse a global economy. Besides, there is comfort in familiarity. Who is Simon Johnson anyway? He is only a professor at MIT. For goodness sake, who are you going to listen to: MIT or Citigroup?
The real question is why would banking chiefs be so misinformed or deliberately deceptive less than three years after the crisis began?
Admati asserts, "Many bankers oppose increased equity requirements, possibly because of a vested interest in the current systems of subsidies and compensation. But the policy goal must be a healthier banking system, rather than high returns for banks' shareholders and managers, with taxpayers picking up losses and economies suffering the fallout."
The word "possibly" is superfluous. The professor is referring to bonuses and payouts-the same system of compensation incentives that brought the system down after April 2004. No amount of economic sense or reason entered into the mortgage industry models. The big banking moguls failed to preserve themselves and in turn failed to preserve us-the public. They have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they cannot be trusted with public interest. So where is there any value at all to their debate?
Professor Admati mentions the social benefits of limiting leverage and diminishing the costs to society. This assumes the reader has a conscience-that he cares about social benefits at all.
The American banking system has revealed by its own behavior that it cares little for social benefits. It is simply not on the radar. It is clear to the American public that top bankers care nothing for the social costs of their actions as long as we pay their debts for them-that is the moral hazard and enormous social tragedy created by the unconditional bailouts. If Citigroup chief Vikram Pandit is not feeling the love-this is why.
So can we even believe anything Pandit or his fellow bankers have to say? Unequivocally no! Not unless you are: a) naïve b) masochistic c) stupid d) a, b, c As MIT professor Simon Johnson says: Enough of this nonsense!
Good-B invites you to join the conversation:
Do you think the Basel III capital requirements are adequate?
How do you view the opposing warnings from Citigroup's Pandit and Stanford's Admati?
Do you think our officials and bankers have learned from past mistakes?

The Welsh Fasting Girl
In 1869, American journalist Christine Thomas leaves her home in Brooklyn, NY, to travel to Wales, the homeland of the husband she lost in the Civil War. Christine has an assignment to investigate Sarah Jacobs, a twelve-year-old Welsh farm girl who is said not to have taken food for sixteen months. Christine grows attached to the sweet and pious Sarah, and in letters to her lost husband, she analyzes the cultural forces acting on the girl, caught in a web of lies spun by her father and the local vicar, living in a rural society challenged by the forces of modernity. When a strict watch set upon the girl ends in her death, Christine watches the unfolding legal action until one of the Jacobs sisters draws her personally into investigating how Evan Jacobs’ sexual abuse, ruthless control, and vaunting ambition destroyed his daughters, his family, and his livelihood.
O’Connor stays close to the facts of the Jacobs case but crafts a moving, masterful story of human error, longing, and conflicting belief. Christine’s analytical letters feel heavy-handed in comparison to the wildly beautiful prose that sings through the chapters narrated by the Jacobs sisters; the voice of the youngest, Margaret, is especially compelling. Though dealing with their own conflicts, the invented characters—Christine, her family, her grown children and her reporter friends—somehow feel less real than the deeply complex and vividly sketched historical figures, including the Jacobses, the vicar, and the medical experts who watch the girl die. O’Connor’s recreation of this world and its people is haunted and haunting, with marvelous poetry and human sorrow resonating in every line.

The two craziest things I’ve eaten in Denmark weren’t Danish foods.
The first was Swedish: fermented herring, which had been left to stew for three months in a tin can, now bulging at the edges from the gas. Two boisterous Danes served this to a crowd at the Aarhus Food Festival, captive under a tent during a short downpour, and when they opened the tin, we all groaned. It stank like a pile of rotten fish carcasses. But I, the intrepid food researcher, forced myself to take a bite. It was salty, of course, with a silky sweetness I didn’t expect, and the bite of rot you might expect from bleu cheese.
The second was whale blubber, from Greenland, which I tried as part of a performance art piece about Denmark’s consumption of whale meat from their former colony. It was chewy, to say the least.
I’m in Denmark doing research on a taste-based food education center called Smag for Livet (Taste for Life). In understanding their approach—which is so different from most of our nutrition-and health-focused food pedagogies in the United States—I am trying to understand what is happening in Denmark around food and taste. In what direction is food moving here? Is it recognizable in comparison to food movements in the United States?
I immediately noticed Danish playfulness around food. The whale blubber dance isn’t the only food-related theater experience I’ve had here; another was a “fish circus,” a multi-course dinner highlighting parts of fish that we normally waste. The audience ate these while watching mimes and clowns perform vaguely fish-related gags. Denmark has gotten international attention in the last 15 years for New Nordic Cuisine, a movement borne out of the restaurant industry in partnership with government and tourism initiative, which uses international cooking techniques but focuses on regional and seasonal ingredients. The flagship of this movement is Copenhagen-based Noma, ranked for several years as the best restaurant in the world, known for not only for their food but their outrageous reservation waiting lists, and now a best-selling book on fermentation. Noma and their partners, like the recently-closed Nordic Food Lab, are always playing: what unexpected ingredients can we make delicious?
There is a big focus on sustainability here generally, although there are plenty of chinks in the green food agenda. In Denmark, following the Netherlands, companies and advocates are trying to encourage people to eat insects as a protein source; insects are staggeringly less resource-intensive than normal Western protein sources like beef, although they of course appeal to fewer consumers. The “eat less meat” argument comes up frequently in food conversations. But Scandinavian Danes have a long tradition of pork and dairy consumption, and in a country of fewer than six million people, their pork industry has 30 million pigs (many for export). Moves to reform the system are slow, at best, and at worst, rhetorical.
Are Danish people actually eating New Nordic Cuisine? Are they eating less meat? As far as I can tell, these are still open questions. I recently visited an upscale food market in Aarhus’s department store Salling, and was surprised to find not only the expected array of nice teas, chocolates, crackers, and other fancy goods, but also some of the same produce offered in my local, inexpensive grocery store, Netto. My first thought was that perhaps Salling isn’t as high-quality as its branding. But after talking with a local artist friend about her experiences trying to find decent food in the United States, I think perhaps it’s that Netto isn’t as low quality as I might expect from a budget store.
My friend talked about driving through the Southwest, trying to find anything she could bear to eat, and about looking at ingredients lists on processed foods and being shocked at the number of additives. Ingredients lists aren’t quite so long, or so chemical, in Denmark. But she also waxed rhapsodic about what she could find in American “wholesale” stores, by which I think she meant bulk sections in co-op groceries. Is it possible that our food options are both better and worse than in Denmark?
If the answer is yes, it would align with socioeconomic class in our two countries. Denmark doesn’t have poverty the way we do, nor extreme individual wealth. In our nation of socioeconomic poles, perhaps it makes sense that, from a Danish perspective, we have the lowest and highest quality food.
Taste is democratic. Nearly everyone has access to their own sense of taste, and it can be developed, independently or through education. Smag for Livet has observed, however, that the people interested in their taste-driven outreach and activities tend to be upper middle-class or “elite.” Interest in taste, even in this country with more of a middle class and social safety nets, may still be largely determined by class.

Question answered - KUDOS to Dynon AGAIN!
Ok, I talked to both David and Don at Dynon today. While, for me at least, the latest Kavlico addendum doesn't make it clear, the EMS D-10 REQUIRES part number 103713-000 (50 psi) for fuel pressure signal. It uses the 150 psi sensor for oil pressure only. Most of the other Dynon EMS systems use the 150 psi sensor for both oil and fuel pressure. The 50 psi sensor comes with it's own resistor that must be installed and requires the selection of 7 on the sensor type entry.
In these days, it is so refreshing to witness superb service, on legacy equipment by any manufacturer. Thanks Don and David!

Monster is one of Walter Dean Myers's most popular books and is occasionally taught in school. It is written as a script and journal, a unique style that I felt both helped and hurt the story. While I know teens enjoy the book, I felt that it lacked something.
Steve Harmon is a 16 year old boy who is on trial for participating in a robbery that ended in homicide. In order to cope with the reality that he might be facing life in prison, Steve documents what's going on during the trial in a script as if what's happening to him is actually a movie rather than his life. The story, therefore, is the trial written out as a script. Mixed into the script are the occasional journal entry that reveal some of Steve's inner thoughts and fears, along with a few flashbacks from his life.
The fact that this is written as a script makes it an exceptionally fast read, which probably appeals to a lot of teen readers. The novel also doesn't hold back too much on the unpleasant aspects of jail-life. In other words, it gives a decent reality check of what might happen if you get caught in an unsavory situation. On the other hand, Steve somehow seemed to escape the truly horrible aspects of jail on a personal level - others were abused but not him, yet he was probably the youngest one there. Is that realistic, especially since he doesn't explain how the others left him alone? Even though he doesn't cry at night, he still seems like an easy target. Did the author hold back so as not to offend or turn-off readers? At the same time time, I felt that the trial pulled back from the actual story - you're looking at it rather than being a part of it. True, that's what Steve seemed to be doing, but as a reader, it's better to be a part of it. The story lacked character development. People came in and out of the story without making a mark - although Myers does do a good job of giving the characters realistic voices, so they seem real but they could still be anyone. Even Steve, whose head we get into, seems to be missing something. You can't tell if he's innocent or guilty. I ended the novel wanting more. It all went by too fast.
For teens this is a great novel to introduce them to many different things from unique storytelling to trial life to consequences of actions to life in jail. There are many things to talk about such as whether or not he's really guilty or not, how does a person's past change his or her credibility, and how should Steve be punished if he was merely a participant yet not completely involved. While the novel does have that working for it, as a whole it still lacks something in my eyes in terms of story telling and development. A little more would have made it better.

In 2016, the Philippines topped 197 countries with the most number of cases of breast cancer, data released by Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society have shown.
It is also one of the countries worldwide with the highest prevalence rates of cancer.
Mortality rates are also ballooning.
To help combat the dreaded disease, local health advocates are promoting the National Screening Program especially among high-risk groups, including immediate family members and relatives of cancer patients.
“Studies have shown that certain screening procedures are needed to contribute in reducing mortality,” Dennis Sacdalan, an oncologist at ManilaMed, said on Thursday.
An average of 12 Filipinos die of cervical cancer daily.
The Department of Health (DOH) has ranked colon cancer as the fourth overall in incidence and mortality while lung cancer remains to be the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and third in women.
Screenings can be conducted in hospitals that specialize in cancer treatment, including government medical institutions with caner centers designated by the Health department.
Apart from early detection, one’s lifestyle is also crucial in cancer prevention, however.
Vices like smoking should be avoided while proper diet must be observed.
“If you eat less of fiber and vegetables and more of food with high fat content, then you’re more at risk to develop colon and heart cancer,” Sacdalan said.
Obesity exposes a person to several cancers.
Meanwhile, smoking, that is often mistaken to just cause lung cancer, can also lead to other forms of cancer, like head and neck cancers, stomach cancer and colorectal cancer.
Eight Filipinos die each hour from smoking-related diseases.

In the modern world, mental health therapy is of utmost significance because it enhances the well-being and quality of life of those with mental health issues. It offers a secure and encouraging environment where people may examine their attitudes, feelings, and actions while developing coping mechanisms for their mental health issues. Individuals can enhance communication and relationships, build resilience, gain insight into their thoughts and actions, and learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with obstacles with mental health therapy. Additionally, it can help locate and resolve underlying problems that may be causing mental health problems, such as old traumas or unresolved conflicts.
Understanding the importance of mental health, Terri Bowman, a mental health entrepreneur and facilitator, has dedicated her life’s work to promoting positive mental health. Terri founded her first brain and wellness spa after working as a face-to-face consultant for more than 17 years, and she now has more than ten years of expertise in the industry. With her cutting-edge wellness software and physical wellness spas, she is reinventing the business by making mental health therapy more effective and accessible for people worldwide.
Terri’s flagship innovation is her Blissiree app, which offers a unique approach to mental health therapy. The app is supported by qualified mental health practitioners on one platform, providing individuals with access to professional guidance in their healing journey. The Blissiree app allows users to access Terri’s positive auditory stimuli technique from the comfort of their own homes. The software is an effective tool for improving people’s mental health and general well-being worldwide because of its accessibility and simplicity. Users can take charge of their mental health and well-being by integrating Terri’s ground-breaking method into their everyday routine.
Terri’s approach uses positive auditory stimuli to stimulate the brain’s natural healing processes. To help people with mental health problems, including anxiety, sadness, and PTSD, sound waves are utilized to reorganize the brain and create new neural connections. By focusing on the healing process rather than just symptom suppression, this novel method enables people to address the underlying reasons for their mental health issues. Terri’s method is client-centered, giving people the skills to improve their well-being and mental health and empowering them in their recovery process.
Terri’s attempts to eliminate the stigma attached to mental health clearly show her dedication to making mental health therapy accessible. According to her, everyone should have access to quality mental health care, and implementing cutting-edge strategies can be crucial to accomplishing this aim.
Her efforts benefit mental health therapy through her client-centered approach and commitment to eradicating the stigma attached to mental health, opening the door for more widely available and efficient treatments for people everywhere.

Erwin Harris, ad executive who seized Cuban assets, dies at 91tags: World War II, Erwin Harris, Cuba, diplomatic history
Erwin Harris left behind a respectable record of achievement as an advertising executive, an estimable collection of Chinese antiquities (his lifelong hobby), a loving family and a remarkable if little-remembered role in the tortured history of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba in the early 1960s.
Mr. Harris, a Yonkers-born World War II veteran who died in Miami on March 9 at 91, probably did not tip the scales of history. But from 1960 to 1961, armed with nothing more than a court order from a Florida judge and accompanied by local sheriff’s deputies, he scoured the East Coast confiscating Cuban government property — including the state airplane Fidel Castro parked in New York while on a visit.
It was a dogged mission in pursuit of compensation for what he said Mr. Castro owed him: $429,000 in unpaid bills stemming from an advertising campaign promoting Cuban tourism....

Just another reminder to live life to the fullest, every day.
PRATTVILLE, AL (WSFA) -The fall baseball season isn’t supposed to start until next week, but one Prattville little league team made sure their starting pitcher and his father had the game of a lifetime.
It’s Ryan Parrish’s first time on the pitching mound. The 11-year-old is hoping for “just strikes,” he said.
Sadly, Ryan’s first game of the season could be his dad’s last opportunity to watch his son play ball.
“Over the summer we found out my dad had cancer,” said Ryan, choking back tears.
Ryan’s dad, Gary, was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and metastasized to the liver in June.
“He played last year, and Gary was at every game,” said the boy’s grandfather, Roy Parrish. “And this will probably be his only game, so it means his life actually to come see the game.”
Gary’s father said Tuesday’s game was happy and heartbreaking at the same time. Gary’s liver is 60 percent covered by cancer, and the family had no choice but to call on Hospice last week.
In August, doctors pulled 20 lbs of fluid off Gary’s abdomen and stopped treatments Sept. 1 because his body wasn’t responding anymore. Needless to say, this summer has been difficult on the Parrish family.

Too many favorites to choose! Love camping in the mountains near our home! Or the beaches in Florida or Hawaii!!!
Too many favorite vaca spots to choice! Always love camping in the mountains near our home. The beach is also a favorite, Florida and Hawaii beaches!!!
Pretty prints and pretty colors! We actually met a couple from England when they vacationed here and struck up a friendship and then did a house swap with them. They had a lovely sweet little cottage nestled in Conwy Wales….it was soooooo magical! Stopped in London on the way and traveled through Ireland for a few days too! If you could go anywhere I would definitely say go to Conwy Wales—it will not disappoint!
Oh I can’t decide on a favorite vacation place! I think I’m in the mood for a mountain retreat though!
My favourite vacation place is Japan! Love this new release. Would love to use this collection to document my recent trip to Tokyo. Thank you for this awesome giveaway.

This collection makes me want to travel just so I can document it! I would love to go back to Scotland again.
love the colors – Favorite destination would be the Bahamas – so beautiful and relaxing
Favorite vacation place is Portugal 🇵🇹 😊. Such a lovely collection. ⭐
Fantastic collection! My favorite vacation so far was to the UK -specifically Scotland was fantastic! We’re headed to Alaska this year so I think that’ll be a new fave, but I enjoy each place I’ve traveled and plan to do much more! ✈🚗🗿🚌🚐🌁🌆🗽🌄🌌🚲🌋🧳🚢⛺🚁⛰🏝🏞🧭
Fantastic collection! I love the Sightseeing paper. All those cute little tags. I can just see them all cut out and ready for a special project. 💖
This is a stunning collection, i love it for my boys on camping trips! My favourite place to go on vacation is Deua national park in NSW. Surrounded by nature, pebbly creaks, gum trees and plenty of wildlife.
I think the prettiest place that I’ve gone on vacation was a recent trip to Southeast Asia. However, Hawaii is a close second. One of my best vacations is when we travel to Colorado and stay with some friends. Sitting on their deck in the morning with a cup of coffee, or in the evening with a glass of wine and looking at the continental divide is incredible.
I always enjoy a family vacation to the beach, but this summer I am going on a dream vacay with my girlfriends to Paris! I bet that will be my future favorite!
Love Tourist Mode!! My favorite vacation place is wherever my family is. Those are the most fun vacations!
I love visiting Hawaii. The air smells and feels so different and the people are so kind. It is a beautiful place.
I have a problem with travel collections 🤣 it’s never enought for me. We can use even to diferent places in our country, like we mostly do.
Alaska ! But my wish should be to discover the American National Parks
My favorite vacation place is Norway. Round trip: great views after every bend!
Anywhere that’s warm! It’s winter here at the moment and I’m hanging out for summer already! Love the versatility in this collection, and all the blue 💙
Love this!! This is an amazing travel collection, it’s perfect to use in Project Life. Love love!!
So many fun and beautiful places to visit but… if I had to chose one – I left a little piece of my heart in Australia! Surfer’s Paradise and that amazing Gold Coast stole my heart for sure! Awesome memories….💕
Hmmm.. that’s a hard choice. I think so far the Florida keys for a relaxing but adventurous vacation or Disney world for a action packed time. Really though the keys are tied with cairns, Australia
The beachhhh. Any beach. A California beach. An Oregon beach. A Hawaii beach. All of um.
Hawaii is my all time favorite. Aruba was beautiful too but the laid back Hawaii vibes are amazing!!
My favorite place to vacation is Barcelona. It’s so beautiful. The people, the food, the architecture. It’s just lives in my heart.
I love this new collection and I love to travel, so it would be perfect.
I love the Bahamas! Sun… beautiful, clear water… and fabulous weather!
Travel back and forth to visit the grandkids and take trips with them when we are there. Could use this for so many things.
I’d like to do a camping trip. I haven’t done any of those kinds of activities and some outdoor fun around a campfire sounds fun.
Camping road trips are a favorite. We hope to see more national parks soon.
Half of me wants to say anywhere I can run in the mountains, the other half wants to go snorkel off a tropical island…so anywhere I can do either of those. Or both!
I love to go on vacation to different places, my favorites have been New Zealand and Hawaii but I would love to go to Europe and Asia, also my favorite scenery is the beach so anywhere we’re there’s a beach I’m game…
Anywhere near the beach makes me happy! I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list. :)

Connecticut's technology executives warn the state risks falling behind in high technology jobs and development, and could lose them, unless it devises a cohesive strategy for supporting and nurturing the sector.
The Connecticut Technology Council in East Hartford issued its dire assessment in the wake of a six-month survey of high-tech businesses and leaders who voiced reservations in Connecticut's ability to nurture fast-growing startups and innovative research.
"The troubling news is that even though almost all the CEOs we talked to lead firms actually founded here, and they like Connecticut personally, they have serious concerns about their ability to thrive in this state,'' said CTC President and CEO Matthew Nemerson. "We risk losing their future job growth to other states or countries unless we address the weaknesses these very successful business leaders are pointing out in our job development strategies."
The council said the study's release is timed to coincide with the arrival of a new governor, Dan Malloy, as well as a new slate of state policymakers and budget setters.
Among shortcomings cited by the CTC and survey respondents: a lack of helpful networks to connect people in the tech world across the state and region; difficulty finding talented young workers outside Stamford and New Haven; a need for more early stage investment programs from state sources and more support for research links to the state's universities.
Tech CEOs also grumbled that many Connecticut state agencies seem oblivious, even indifferent, to the products and services they provide, or research they conduct, and no government plan to support them. Conversely, the executives say other states seem to know more about what they do in trying to persuade them to move away from Connecticut.
"Our research says we are falling behind other locations in the sheer number of fast-growing firms and most alarmingly, even those doing well may decide to leave in the future," said CTC Chairman Christopher Kalish, who is director of GE Edgelab in Stamford.
The surveys and companion research were conducted by a CTC task force, led by senior technology executives from United Techologies Corp., medical-device maker Covidien Plc in North Haven, automated machinery and software maker Gerber Technology in South Windsor, and supported by a team of graduate students from Yale and the University of Connecticut. Law firms Day Pitney and Pullman Comley also participated.

Baja California officials recently met with Mexican Consulate authorities in order to discuss negotiations to vaccinate minors 5 and older in the US.
State Secretary of Public Health Adrian Medina met last week with Consul Tarcisio Navarrete in order to seek vaccination of minors with outstanding visas in US soil.
Sec. Medina said although minors do not get seriously sick children can spread the Coronavirus.
A similar program of binational vaccination was recently started in the Tijuana-San Diego region.
Many parents had taken their children and themselves to Imperial Valley clinics to get a booster or a shot for their kids.
The Secretary and the Consul discussed vaccination of deported immigrants to have a safe return to Baja California. So far, the state has only vaccinated adults and teenagers.

Righty bloggers are teeing off on Joan Walsh of Salon because of her appearance on Morning Joe yesterday, in which she maintained that liberals have no voices as extreme as Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck. (NewsBusters weighs in with a list here, with Keith Olbermann's name in capital letters.) Walsh defends her response today in Salon: "I didn't name anyone not because I was stumped; it was because in my opinion, the violent rhetoric is coming from the right, not the left."
No liberals are as "consistently cruel, divisive and wrong" as Limbaugh and Beck, she says. But this goes beyond the media: "The problem on the right includes extremists who've made death threats against Democrats like Patty Murray, Bart Stupak, Nancy Pelosi, and, of course, President Obama. There's no one on the left posing the same threat to leaders on the right—or if there is, I'd like to know about it."

American Financial Group is trying again, upping its bid one last time to acquire the remaining common shares of National Interstate Corp. that its subsidiary doesn’t already own.
Great American Insurance Company is now offering $32 per share in cash for the 49 percent of National Interstate it doesn’t yet have. That is up from a proposed $30 per share offer in March worth $293 million, which had been increased to $30.75 per share.
On June 29, a Special Committee of National Interstate’s board of directors rejected the $30.75 offer, calling it “inadequate” and “not in the best interest of the majority shareholders of the company.”
American Financial Group Co-Chief Executive Officer Carl Linder III explained in a July 6 letter to the Special Committee that its $32 per share bid is its “best and final offer.”
“This is a full and fair price offer that will provide upfront liquidity to, and for the benefit of, National Interstate’s shareholders,” Linder wrote.
His letter emphasized that the $32 per share price is a 41.5 percent premium over National Interstate’s share closing price on March 4, which was the last day before American Financial announced its initial M&A bid.
National Interstate, in its rejection of American Financial’s first revised offer, kept the door open on working with the company, pledging to negotiate for a better offer and also consider other options.
American Financial focuses mostly on property/casualty insurance and specialized commercial products for business. National Interstate is a holding company for a specialty property/casualty insurance group focused on niche markets.

Kidnapper taken from his home by other kidnapper
GARY, IN - A statewide Amber Alert was issued in Indiana Sunday when convicted child abductor, Terrence Lee Howsley was reported missing from his home in Gary Indiana where he lives with his parents. Neighbors and friends have tirelessly searched the area and hung signs showing a picture of the 48 year-old Howsley. Neighbors and relatives have contributed a total of approximately $6 to be used as a reward for information leading to the arrest of Howsley's abductor. Police suspect Howsley was lured into a van by another kidnapper. Police are including Kenneth Floyd Howsley, Terrence's stepfather, as a possible suspect in the case.

In the big-data era, requirements for storage capacity and access speed in modern Hard Disk Drive (HDD) systems are becoming more and more stringent. As the track density of HDDs increases, vibration suppression of the recording arm in HDDs is becoming more challenging. Vibrations in modern HDDs are environment/product-dependent with different frequency characteristics. Furthermore, they can occur at very high frequencies with wide spectral peaks. This paper presents an adaptive algorithm to identify and suppress these high-frequency wide-spectrum vibrations. We design a vibration-compensation controller based on an adaptive disturbance observer (DOB), and devise parameter adaptation algorithms not only for the vibration frequencies but also for the spectral peak widths of the vibration. The peak-width parameters are adaptively tuned online to maximally attenuate the vibration with minimal error amplifications at other frequencies. The proposed algorithm is verified by simulations of HDDs for the problem of suppressing high-frequency wide-spectrum vibrations.

Despite the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (the department which advises the Department for Culture, Media and Sport about all things library-related) regarding Doncaster as a high-risk library authority of particular concern, the DCMS have refused to intervene in the drastic cuts being made to the library service. SDL have complained for several months about this. In a recent FOI request, we learnt that Doncaster Council asked the DCMS to meet with them to talk about the implementation of the cuts (see page 39): “I have asked the DCMS if they wish to come and talk to us”, said Julie Grant on 4th February. The council have confirmed, however, that no meetings have taken place between them and the DCMS.
We want to know why the DCMS, when asked by a council for support, have refused to meet with them. We already know that the DCMS do not wish to listen to the hundreds of thousands of people around the country who are fighting to save their libraries, but to ignore the pleas of a council too? Surely this is a failure of their statutory duty to “superintend…and secure the proper discharge by local authorities of the functions in relation to libraries conferred on them as library authorities by or under this Act [Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964]”.
