Self-Deception, Part 10: Sublimation
The final installment in a new 10-part series on ego defenses.
Posted Feb 08, 2019
Sublimation is considered by many to be the most successful of all ego defenses. If a person’s partner has just left her for someone else, she might fly into a rage and cut up all his clothes… or she might instead write a poem that expresses how she feels. The first instance (cutting up all her partner’s clothes) is an example of displacement, the redirection of uncomfortable feelings towards someone or something less important, which is an immature ego defense. The second instance (writing a poem) is an example of sublimation, the channelling of uncomfortable feelings into socially condoned and often productive activities, which is a much more mature ego defense. And if the poem or poet were one day to be recognized, would that not be the sweetest revenge?
Another example of sublimation is the person with sadistic or homicidal urges who joins the military to provide an outlet for these urges, or who, like Justice Wargrave in Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, becomes a judge who liberally awards the death penalty in murder cases. Right at the end of the novel, in the postscript, a fishing trawler dredges up a bottle just off the Devon coast. The bottle contains the confession of the late Wargrave in which he reveals a lifelong sadistic temperament juxtaposed with a fierce sense of justice. Though he had longed to torture, terrify, and kill, he could not justify harming innocent people: so instead he became a ‘hanging judge’ and thrilled at the sight of convicted (and guilty) people trembling with fear.
Leonardo da Vinci arguably sublimed his homosexuality into his art. Leonardo never showed any interest in women and even wrote that heterosexual intercourse disgusted him. He never married but chose instead to surround himself with beautiful young men, most notably Salai (a nickname meaning ‘little devil’) and Melzi, both of whom Leonardo included in his last will and testament. In 1476, at the age of 24, Leonardo was twice charged with sodomy, even though the charges were common in the Florence of the quattrocento and later dropped for want of witnesses. As in his life so in his art: Leonardo drew many more male than female nudes and paid much more attention to the male genitals. Many of the figures in his paintings appear androgynous, especially the John the Baptist who, complete with the fine curls of Salai, looks nothing like the biblical cousin of Jesus and everything like Salai or, indeed, Mona Lisa. And if all that were not enough, there is also a drawing, The Incarnate Angel, from the school of Leonardo that appears to be a humorous take on the John the Baptist, portraying John/Salai with a big, fat erection.
Another example of the sublimation of a sexual impulse is that of Gustav von Aschenbach, the middle-aged protagonist of Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice. Aschenbach, who is the alter ego of Mann, is a famous writer suffering from writer’s block. While staying at the Grand Hôtel des Bains on Venice’s Lido Island, he is taken by the sight of a beautiful adolescent boy called Tadzio who is residing at the hotel with his aristocratic family. Aschenbach becomes more and more obsessed with Tadzio, even though he never talks to him and still less touches him. Instead, he sublimes his longing, which he eventually recognizes as sexual, into his writing.
Thus, in Chapter 4:
"...he, in full sight of his idol and under his canvas, worked on his little treatise – those one-and-a-half pages of exquisite prose, the honesty, nobility and emotional deepness of which caused it to be much admired within a short time. It is probably better that the world knows only the result, not the conditions under which it was achieved; because knowledge of the artist’s sources of inspiration might bewilder them, drive them away and in that way nullify the effect of the excellent work."
If you would like to share further instances of sublimation, please do so in the comments section.
This concludes this new series on self-deception, which I hope you found both useful and entertaining.
Go back to Part 1.

Empire State Building […] It’s the nearest thing to heaven
Deborah Kerr in “An affair to remember”
Martijn van Berkum, Rotterdam — A couple of months ago the City Art Museum in Amsterdam showed an overview of Andy Warhol’s work. I was thrilled to see my favourite Warhol for the first time: Empire. It reminded me of a haunting story the Swedish artist Christian Andersson once told me.
Andy Warhol filmed the Empire State Building on a summer night in 1964 from the 41st floor of the Rockefeller Foundation, which is just a couple of blocks away. The film is an 8-hour static shot of the building. Nothing happens and after 7 hours foreplay, Empire rises to a climax when the building’s floodlights, which highlight the top, are switched on.
According to Andersson the original view had been blocked for several decades by, yes, the World Trade Center. Therefore, the destruction of the Twin Towers not only re-established the Empire State Building as tallest building in New York, it also re-enabled the original view of Warhol’s Empire.
I’ve never been to New York, so my suspicious mind needed proof. Unfortunately, in reality it seems to be the other way around and the Empire State Building was blocking the view on the former World Trade Centre instead. The Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building and the World Trade Centre are exactly aligned, kind of like the ‘voie triomphale’ (the triumphant view) of Paris, the axis of the Louvre, the Arche de Triomphe and the Arche de la Défence.
Nevertheless, the comparison between the 9-11 attacks and Warhol’s Empire kept following me and remains interesting I think. Both deal with the symbolic power of a New York / American monument. Al Quaeda attacked it; Warhol celebrated it. Or does he not? It’s always difficult to say what Warhol’s intensions were, for any of his works for that matter. His inscrutable character and incomprehensive statements completely obscure any reading of his work, at least with regards to his own intentions. Of course, we can draw some conclusions from the title. ‘Empire’ tentatively points out the imperial nature of global economy, ‘a universal order that excepts no boundaries or limits’ (from ‘Empire’ by Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt).
An earlier version of Empire provides some more clues about the intentions of Warhol. It included a voice recording of a conversation between Warhol and Henry Romney, owner of the Rockefeller Foundation, who is complaining about the use of marihuana by Warhol’s associates and is utterly displeased and riddled by the film. The conversation holds one charming and poetic statement by Warhol (about the floodlights going on at night):
It’s so beautiful. The lights come on and the stars come out […] It’s like Flash Gordon riding into space.
Yet, the one that went into history is a description that leaves no doubt about Warhol’s true feelings towards the building:
It’s an 8-hour hard-on
When I started to dig further into the histories of the Empire State Building and the World Trade Centre it turned out that they share more similarities. Oddly enough, the Empire State Building has also suffered a plane crash. In the early morning of July 28th 1945 an army B25 bomber got lost in the thick morning fog and pierced into the 70th floor of the building, which, ironically, housed the Catholic War Relief Office. The pilots and 11 employees of the War Relief Office were killed. But there was also one survivor. A woman, trapped in the elevator, fell down 75 floors and survived. And that’s not the only miracle the building has witnessed. It accounts for 34 suicides, two of which failed when these unhappy ‘happy few’ were blown back on the building by strong wind.
Empire’s notorious reputation has also reached the virtual world. When I was mapping out the World Trade Centre, the Empire State Building and the Rockefeller Center, I discovered that Empire doesn’t only reign in the sky over New York, it has also conquered the cities’ cyber ‘space’ in Google Earth. The 3D feature in the program enables you to construct a 3-dimensional image of the city and I was able to re-enact Warhol’s masterpiece in today’s cyber space. Underneath you see the view that Warhol had approximately from the Rockefeller Center. ‘Empire’ was filmed with a telelens and unfortunately Google Earth isn’t advanced enough to recreate that view, yet… I would guess that pretty soon we won’t need the real world anymore to make such great art.
I have a gut feeling that Andy would have loved it.

Tips for Choosing a Cosmetic Surgeon
Making the decision to undergo plastic surgery is an important first step to take. Once you have chosen a procedure that suits your aesthetic goals, it's time to find a cosmetic surgeon. But with so many providers to choose from, finding the right surgeon for your needs is not always an easy task. Keep reading for some helpful tips on choosing a Rockville cosmetic surgeon.
Research Their License and Certification
The cosmetic surgeon you choose should be licensed and board-certified to perform plastic surgery procedures in the state of Maryland. You may consider visiting the American Board of Plastic Surgery's website to access important information about your potential provider, including any records of disciplinary action. It is also a good idea to choose a surgeon who is affiliated with certain notable organizations such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, as this demonstrates their commitment to patient safety and ongoing education.
Determine Which Procedures are Offered
You will want to ensure that the cosmetic surgeon of your choice actually offers the procedure you are interested in before setting up a consultation. However, it is important to remember that while plastic surgeons may offer a number of procedures, it does not necessarily mean that they have a good service record. For this reason, you may want to consider reading through testimonials from other patients regarding their experiences before choosing a particular surgeon. You may also be able to browse through the surgeons website if applicable to determine whether they specialize in any one procedure.
Set Up An Initial Appointment
Another great way to choose a cosmetic surgeon is to set up an initial appointment. This will not only give you the chance to sit down with the surgeon and ask questions, but will also enable you to ensure that you feel comfortable with both the surgeon and staff members ahead of time.
As a board-certified cosmetic surgeon and member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Frederick H. Watkins, MD is your resource for high-quality plastic surgery in the McLean and Rockville areas. Give us a call at (240) 396-4553 to get started today!

Welcome to Fishlore
I'm thinking your tank was uncycled and that, along with the stress of the ich, killed him. It typically takes much longer than 10 days to cycle a tank. Did you use a piece of filter media from your friend or a bottled bacterial supplement? If not, your tank likely wasn't...
I would give them a week or two to establish the pecking order. If that doesn't work out, I would either remove the aggressor and/or add 1-2 more males to spread out the aggression.
With females you'll soon be overrun with fry unless you have ways to rehome or sell them.
Welcome to the forum
Unfortunately a 6 gallon just doesn't offer them a lot of space to get away from each other. If you really want to succeed, give them at least a 20g with 5+ females to spread out aggression and a lot of plants and things to break the line of sight.
I think you'd get interesting results, good luck!
As they get older, remove any that start developing a gonopodium. It's easier than removing the females since some males are late-developers and look like females for a while. They can't mate successfully until it's fully developed, although...

The communities from the Bay of Jiquilisco are suffering from diseases that are being caused by industrial companies. The soil has been contaminated by the use of toxic herbicides and fertilizers. The burning of the sugar cane fields contaminates the air and is creating respiratory illnesses among the children in the community. Dr. Anny Argeta a kidney specialist in Ciudad Romero informed the reporter that one of the leading causes of death in the region is kidney failure. The local hospitals have reported the increase of respiratory and bronchial illnesses amongst children. Such chemicals used by industrial companies contaminate the water/soil and this leads to kidney failure and respiratory diseases.
But not only are these toxic chemicals affecting the health of the community but they are also contaminating their food sources and playing with their food security. Salvadorians have seen the necessity of the local farmers and the need to protect the fauna and the mangrove forests and have developed organizations that look out for the livelihood of the people and the local ecosystems. Such organizations are the Mangrove Association, La Coordinadora and EcoVIVA. Such organizations have motivated local communities to push industrial companies to increase sustainable farming, organic foods, food security and all other environmental friendly methods.
Alonzo Sosa who is part of the environmental unit of the Municipality of Tecoluca encourages local governments, communities and journalists to join the movement because, it is important that Salvadorians reclaim there natural resources.

Some smartphones have an excellent battery life, but is it enough to avoid the need for a power bank?
With all of the new and impressive features that are found in the latest high end smartphones, which include some of the longest lasting power supplies, it can be easy to start to wonder if the latest and best mobile devices would even need an external battery charger anymore.
It’s true that the latest models do have a long smartphone battery life, but is it really enough for the average user?
Smartphones aren’t just used for phoning and texting anymore. The more we use our devices for an increasing range of regular daily activities, the more we drain the power on those devices. Though it is convenient to recharge overnight while you sleep, what happens when you use your device more than you usually would, or, even worse, what happens if you forget to plug in your phone charger at the end of the evening? Even with the best smartphones, a good quality external battery charger can be a life saver on a regular basis.
While heavy device users will require an external battery charger all the time, average users can also benefit.
Consider some of the top smartphones on the market and the battery power that they boast. These may offer a great deal of power, but it is up to the individual user to determine how long they will actually last.
• Apple iPhone 6 Plus – 2915 mAh
• Apple iPhone 6 – 1800 mAh
• Samsung Galaxy 6 – 4000 mAh
• Samsung Galaxy Note – 3220 mAh
• Samsung Galaxy S5 – 2800 mAh
• Google Nexus 5 – 2300 mAh
• BlackBerry Q10 – 2100 mAh
• BlackBerry Z30 – 2800 mAh
• BlackBerry Passport – 3450 mAh
• Lenovo P780 – 4000 mAh
• Lenovo S860 – 4000 mAh
• HTC One – 2600 mAh
• Motorola Moto X – 2200 mAh
• Motorola Moto G – 2070 mAh
• LG G2 – 3000 mAh
• Nokia Lumia 1520 – 3400 mAh
These are all respectable sizes, but no matter which one you use, there will be a time in which you will run out of juice and it will not be convenient for you to plug in for an hour or so to rebuild the charge. For this reason, even with these latest devices, an external battery charger will sill prove to be your best friend on long days away from your home and office, while you travel, and even when you’re stuck in a waiting room killing time with your favorite games and videos.

(IntegrityPress.org) – President Joe Biden was accused of abandoning environmentalists on Monday, March 13, after he approved an $8 billion Alaskan oil drilling project despite pleas for him to reconsider.
ConocoPhillips’ controversial Willow Project has been described by critics as “a climate disaster waiting to happen,” and a petition calling for the project’s demise received 2.5 million signatures. However, despite protests and Biden’s promise to put an end to oil drilling projects on public land in 2020, the Biden administration moved forward with its approval of the project on Monday, albeit in a reduced form with extra restrictions in place.
Environmentalist groups were quick to condemn Biden for the decision, with the Sunrise Movement accusing the president of “abandoning millions of young people in favor of the fossil fuel industry” and of betraying his own “climate goals.”
“The harmful effects of President Biden’s decision cannot be overstated,” declared the Sierra Club in its own statement, warning that the move would make it “almost impossible” for Biden to achieve his previous environmental plans.
Greenpeace USA accused Biden of lighting the “fuse” of a “Carbon Bomb” and described his approval as “a betrayal to our planet & people,” while Earthjustice argued that the Biden administration’s restrictions included in the approval would not be able to “compensate” for the harm inflicted by the project overall.
Even prominent members of Biden’s own Democratic Party called out the president for his decision, including Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey, who said Biden was “wrong” to greenlight the project and called it a “mistake we will regret for generations.”
“This decision not only reverses [Biden’s] campaign promise but betrays the native people who have called for the protection of their homelands and culture,” Markey wrote.
After a new discovery of oil in the northeast of Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve in 2016, ConocoPhillips announced the Willow Project, estimating that it would be able to produce as many as 180,000 barrels of oil per day. While five drill sites were initially planned, the number was eventually reduced to three.

In fact, they also specified, they have bonded over their shared passion for sustainability and even were planning to have a “zero-waste” wedding.
For now (i.e. as they got engaged), they lived together in Beachwood Canyon with their dog Benji.
The over-the-moon pair dished all of this on their exclusive with PEOPLE following engagement.
Now, about the ‘how they met’ story — Peter described he had an “instant connection” when they met several years ago and embarked on a friendship that later became a romantic relationship.
They met through a very close mutual friend and had an instant connection and a beautiful strong bond.
Lately, with COVID, they got the opportunity to “recognize and acknowledge” that their friendship had become much more.
Peter also shared, the moment he met “Lis” four years ago, he felt so drawn to her. And because she was seeing someone at the time, he only pursued a friendship. And now, he believes, “I’m so glad that I did. It’s a great basis for a marriage.”
Previously, Elisabeth called off her engagement to Jonathan T. Colby, with whom she also shares a daughter. And before Jonathan, she also had a failed engagement with Austin Smithward.

Flags are flying at half-staff in South Lake Tahoe through Wednesday for The Angel of Tahoe, longtime Zephyr Cove resident Lisa Maloff, who died July 28, 2022. She was 93.
Married to Tahoe hotel pioneer and former Timber Cove Lodge operator Robert Maloff, she donated millions to a variety of causes.
Most recently, she donated $25,000 to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office K-9 program in May. She also purchased a radar trailer and contributed toward the purchase of a driving simulator for the Sheriff’s Office.
Her foundation donated $3 million for the construction of the Lisa Maloff Athletic Facility at
Whittell High School.
“We have lost our Angel of Tahoe today,” said South Lake Tahoe Mayor Devin Middlebrook in the Tahoe Daily Tribune. “But while she may be gone physically, her presence and spirit will continue to be felt every day. In 2019, we renamed Airport Road to Lisa Maloff Way. Each time you visit City Hall and the airport, take a moment as you turn onto Lisa Maloff Way to remember this extraordinary woman and the indelible impact she leaves on our community.”
Maloff was born in Ukraine in 1929 and was placed in a concentration camp by the Nazis during their invasion during World War II, according to a story in Tahoe Quarterly.
Robert Maloff preceded her in death in 2011 at the age of 90.
No services are planned.
Tahoe Daily Tribune staff writer Ashleigh Goodwin contributed to this story.

Denver, NC: There’s always a level of excitement surrounding the launch of the next generation of mobile phone or this years’ newest model of luxury vehicle – and rightfully so. It seems anytime these products are released, they display some game-changing new feature worth being excited about. Well, that’s how we feel about the new GHS 1402 – 2002 VSD+ oil-sealed rotary screw vacuum pumps. This new range of product comes packed with exciting new features that build on the original high-efficiency plug-and-play design of its predecessor, once again raising the bar for vacuum solutions everywhere.
Now that you have some idea how we feel about the new additions to our product line, let’s start by unpacking several of these features and show you what all the buzz is about.
Like any new product, let’s start with its packaging. The new range of oil-sealed rotary screw vacuum pumps comes neatly enclosed in an intelligently designed noise reducing canopy and a 10% smaller footprint than previous models…less than two square meters to be more exact. The enclosure also includes two easy access panels for superior serviceability, that can be removed to access to all necessary components in need of regular maintenance. Popular features for anyone looking to improve the workplace environment and minimize maintenance downtime.
Exploring the new GHS 1402 – 2002 VSD+ vacuum pumps further, inside you’ll find every effort was made to optimize these units for superior performance and energy efficiency. Take the redesigned pumping element for starters. Because of the ingenious construction of its blow off valves, this element provides an exceptional flow rate. Its high pumping speed performance curve means these vacuum pumps are ideal for any rough vacuum application you can think of. The oil-sealed rotary screw vacuum pumps are also equipped with a permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motors. This new technology ensures higher efficiency at all speeds when compared to classic motors.
We can’t talk about the efficiency of these pumps without mentioning the variable speed technology that his machine boasts. With the Neos inverter combined with set-point control, the pump delivers the pumping speed needed for the process. With these vacuum pumps you can potentially save 50%* or more in energy costs.
Last but certainly not least, let’s talk about the new GHS VSD+’s improved connectivity. The rotary screw pumps are equipped with Atlas Copco’s revolutionary new HEX@ controller. HEX@ allows you to monitor and control your pump from anywhere and at any time. It has a configurable, secure user interface that can be customized for you to receive information according to your needs and priorities. You get access to dashboards that display key pump performance indicators to optimize your process. You also gain access to pump trends, such as Inlet pressure, motor speed, power consumption, oil temperature and much more.
So needless to say, this new GHS VSD+ oil-sealed rotary screw vacuum pump is the full package. Inside and out, this revolutionary range of vacuum products is a far cry from traditional vacuum pump technology with improved performance, optimal oil separation, a smaller footprint and an innovative new controller which puts you in gear for Industry 4.0.

It is based on another theme I have used for a long time called “Metro 8”. I finally got tired of the way it styled XML so I forked it and published my own. The Visual Studio 2012 Dark theme text styling is OK, but I like something a little more bold.

Microstructures created and driven by light

This project is part of the EU-FP6 cooperation ATOM-3D
The momentum carried by light can be used as a mechanical power source for microscopic
machines. A series of experiments proved the above statement. The light driven rotors work
similar to windmills, here the role of wind is played by light. Photopolymeriztaion is used to
produce the microscopic machines. Optical tweezers hold and drive the microscopic rotors. If the
rotor contacts cogwheels (which can turn around axes fixed to a microscope coverslide) it drives
them, so even complex light driven micromachines can be built.

This afternoon as we were eating lunch I began to hear a sound.
I began to hear thunder and feel the effects of it.
I did not see it, not did I see the effects of it yet.
I was inside the restaurant, but I knew it was coming by the sound I was hearing.
As we went outside it was not raining, nor was the ground wet, but rain was coming for I could hear the sound of it.

The monomer of influenza haemagglutinin is synthesized as a single polypeptide precursor that during maturation is cleaved by proteases into two active subunits. Other studies have demonstrated that the human Transmembrane Protease Serine 2 (TMPRSS2) can cleave the HA of human seasonal influenza viruses. Consequently, we have investigated the use of human Transmembrane Protease Serine 2 to produce high titre influenza haemmagglutinin (HA) lentiviral pseudotypes from Group 2 influenza viruses. Such pseudotypes represent powerful and safe tools to study viral entry and immune responses. Influenza pseudotype particles are obtained by co-transfecting human embryonic kidney HEK293T/17 cells using plasmids coding for the influenza HA, HIV gag-pol and a lentiviral vector incorporating firefly luciferase. However, in order to produce Group 2 pseudotypes, it was necessary to co-transfect a plasmid expressing the TMPRSS2 endoprotease, to achieve the necessary HA cleavage for infective particle generation. These lentiviral pseudotypes were shown to transduce HEK293T/17 cells with high efficiency. This demonstrates that TMPRSS2 is necessary for the functional activation, in vitro, of both the HA of human seasonal influenza and other Group 2 HA influenza strains. Additionally, we show that the Group 2 influenza pseudotype particles can be used as surrogate antigens in neutralization assays and are efficiently neutralized by corresponding influenza virus reference sera. These data demonstrate that the viral pseudotype system is a powerful method for serological surveillance of a wide range of influenza viruses.

Howard County averaged nine new cases of COVID-19 daily last week and added two more deaths. Now, 9,814 residents have tested positive for the virus, and 215 have died from it.
According to the Regenstrief Institute, 20 Howard County residents visited an emergency room last week for COVID, up from 18 the week prior, and five were hospitalized, up from four the week prior. Two were admitted to an ICU, down from three the week prior.
Today, the Indiana State Department of Health reported 812 new cases of the virus and one new death.
According to the ISDH, 1,531 cases of COVID-19 variants have been detected in Indiana, making up 38.1 percent of current samples. The variant being reported the most is the B.1.1.7 variant (originally identified in the US) with 1,210 cases. That's followed by the B.1.427/B.1.429 (originally identified in California) with 236 cases, P.1 (originally identified in Brazil) with 75 cases, and the B.1.351 variant (originally identified in South Africa) with 10 cases.
The ISDH stated "some of the spreading variants are concerning because they can be spread much more easily that other strains and can cause more severe infection." These include all of the variants listed above, according to the ISDH.
Public health officials are tracking the variants to see if they are causing more infecting, hospitalizations, and deaths to make sure that treatments and vaccines still work.
According to the ISDH, the current COVID-19 vaccines are effective against the variants of concern that have been detected in Indiana.
"As more people get vaccinated and become immune, communities will have more protection against variants. Viruses cannot multiply or mutate in people who are immune, so variants will not emerge or spread. Vaccination prevents mutation, so get vaccinated as soon as you can," according to the ISDH's website.
Hospitalizations continue to remain over 900 statewide, with 931 Hoosiers hospitalized as of yesterday. 182 Hoosiers are in an ICU for the virus, down from 194 a week ago, and 78 are on ventilators for the virus, down from 81 a week ago.

“By helping Consumers across national borders the European Consumer Centres make a valuable contribution to the Single Market. The results of the ECCs' work are proof that the funding provided by the Commission’s Consumer Programme ultimately benefits the people who need it most, EU consumers and reputable and innovative businesses” – said Neven Mimica, EU Commissioner for Consumer Policy.
Among the 80,272 contacts from consumers, the ECCs dealt with 32,522 complaints. The number of complaints increased by 9% compared to 2012.
Advice provided by the ECC network contributed to a positive outcome for consumers in two thirds of cases.
Around a third of all complaints concerned the transport sector. The largest hare concerned air transport (18.3%); however car rental is attracting an ever increasing number of complaints. The other top complaints received by the ECCs related to household equipment, problems related to the purchase of tickets for sporting and cultural events and timeshare.
Just over 15% of the problems registered concerned the non-delivery of the purchased product or service and another 12% of the complaints cited defects in their purchase.
The increase in the number of consumers resorting to the ECC network is driven by a number of factors: an increasing knowledge among consumers of their rights; greater awareness knowledge of the ECC network; the increase in cross-border purchases and a general “crisis” effect, with consumers seeking the best deal and the best service.
The ECC-Net is a European network giving European citizens consumer advice in cross-border problems, for example while travelling in another country or e-shopping. The ECC-Net covers 30 countries (all EU countries plus Norway and Iceland), consumers residing in one of these countries and shopping in another one can benefit from their services free of charge.
The ECC-Net is co-funded by the EU Consumer Programme and by national authorities.

Growing up in Scotland in the Sixties and Seventies, the food was terrible. I never really rated my mum as a cook, though to be fair it was hard back then. The diet was a nutritionist's nightmare: pies, mince and tatties, battered fish every Friday.
These days I'm much healthier - or try to be. When I'm at home in Dublin or Miami I'll start the day with a protein milkshake made with bananas or strawberries, peanut butter, low fat yoghurt. I'll do a bit of work then I'll go to the gym or out for a run. For lunch I might cook myself a beefburger or a steak or a big piece of grilled chicken. Then I'll have a light meal in the evening - perhaps a bit of grilled fish. I'm not a big fan of vegetables, though in my thirties I was a vegetarian for three years. I think when you do that and go back to meat you really love it. I don't really like vegetarian food now, though I'll try to have some green vegetables, maybe asparagus or broccoli, or a mixed green salad.
I learnt to cook in my thirties, and there was a phase when I cooked all the time. Now I cook simple stuff for myself, but not dinner parties. I hate making a big meal then people just nosh it back, without a word of thanks for me slaving away in the kitchen.
I try not to snack too much. If I feel hungry during the day, I might grab a fistful of nuts - cashews or peanuts. If I'm in Florida I'll snack on fruit because the fruit there is wonderful. I love all the tropical stuff - melon, papaya, kiwi fruit. I don't drink coffee during the day; instead I drink green tea and loads of water when I remember.
Although I'm quite health conscious, I like to eat out, and when I do I'll have some wine as well, and if you have a drink you crave fatty stuff. I spend a lot of time touring, and then of course you're staying in hotels, and eating out twice a day. The problem is that the food's so good you tend to overeat. You have a starter and a main course. I don't have a sweet tooth, but I have a weakness for crème brulée, so if it's on the menu I'll have a pudding, too.
In Miami it's not such a problem, because the restaurants tend to be quite healthy, serving local ingredients, especially fish. There's a place on the beach called Table 8 I love. I might have marlin or red snapper, the kind of seafood you don't often find over here.
Alcohol has always been a big love. I find I have to limit the occasions I drink, because if you start drinking alcohol you start eating badly and the whole health thing crumbles. I'm kind of a seasonal drinker. I don't really drink in the winter. Last year I stopped on my birthday in September and didn't start again until April Fools' Day. But the biggest motivation to eat well is fear. I've always been quite skinny and I have this fear of getting fat. I'm worried I'm going to wake up and I'll have turned into this big fat monster.
Irvine may not like veggies much, but it seems he may make up for this with a good intake of a variety of fruits. Another dietary tick for Mr Welsh.
A high-protein food to combat unwanted weight gain. Steak is a good source of zinc, B vitamins and monounsaturated fat. A sound choice, particularly eaten with salad or green veg.
Too sugary to be truly healthy, but this pudding tends to come in small portions. Plus, Irvine's occasional desserts need to be put in the context of what I reckon is one of the best baskets I've ever assessed.
Nuts, for many, tend to work far better than fruit as a between-meals snack. They are rich in heart-healthy nutrients such as monounsaturated fat and magnesium.
Irvine describes himself as a 'protein man'. This is good, as diets relatively high in protein and lower in carbs consistently outshine low-fat, high-carb ones in the weight-loss stakes.
Milkshake with fruit, peanut butter and yoghurt
The fruit in here is a plus, but fruit on its own is a bit light to sustain you through the morning. The protein in the peanut butter and yoghurt provides some nutritional variety.

Professor Randy Barnett of Georgetown University Law Center joins us on the podcast to discuss some of the constitutional elements of the COVID-19 lockdowns, as well as the ideological undercurrents fueling our polarized political climate. What real, practical problems do the lockdowns pose with regards to the Fourteenth Amendment? How is the pandemic becoming an arena for the arbitrary exercise of the police power by government officials? What do the lockdowns and the recent protests reveal about modern liberalism? Are we witnessing the destruction of the “moderate left” in real-time? Professor Barnett tackles these issues and others with Congressman Crenshaw.
Professor Randy Barnett is the Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Legal Theory at the Georgetown University Law Center. He teaches constitutional law and contracts and is the director of the Georgetown Center for the Constitution. Professor Barnett has authored numerous books and textbooks, including the recently published "An Introduction to Constitutional Law: 100 Supreme Court Cases Everyone Should Know," which he co-authored with Professor Josh Blackman.

If my partner contracted HIV a week prior, how likely is it that I might had contracted the virus?
My gay sex partner (top) had unprotected sex a week prior to us having unprotected intercourse (I was not informed until after the act). How likely is it that he might have infected me a week later, if he was infected? Could he have produced enough viral count during that week to infect me? I started taking PEP on the 21 hour after potential exposure. What is the likelihood that once tested negative after the PEP treatment, that on the 2nd or 3rd months my test result could be positive? I worry mind would like to know.
Thank you so much for writing in. I know that after an experience like this people someone can feel betrayed and violated. You were very wise to consider your options and start PEP within 21 hours of the potential exposure. Not only was your partner capable of transmitting HIV during the first week he was infected, but he is actually MORE likely to transmit HIV during that first week.
After someone becomes infected with HIV, the virus begins to replicate very quickly and the amount of virus in the body and bodily fluids rises rapidly. Researchers estimate that the risk of transmitting HIV to another person from one act of unprotected sex is 26 times higher during the first three months after infection than during the months and years that follow (http://www.catie.ca/en/pif/fall-2011/recently-infected-individuals-priority-hiv-prevention).
I think the key here, however, is IF he was infected. I know it's scary to be in your position, but I wonder what his actual risk factors were? If he was a top with another guy then his risk of acquiring HIV were significantly reduced by about 90% (https://www.poz.com/article/HIV-risk-25382-5829). If his partner was HIV negative on PrEP then his ability to have detectable levels of HIV are nearly zero. If his partner was HIV positive and undetectable for six months or longer, his risk of acquiring HIV from that encounter was impossible (http://www.thebodypro.com/content/81184/gay-men-cannot-get-hiv-partners-virally-suppressed.html). Even if he was HIV positive and detectable with a high viral load, the chances of him transmitting HIV to you in that one encounter were only about 1.43%. Those are a lot of "IFS" working in your favor.
As far as getting accurate results to an HIV test after completing PEP, it depends on entirely on the kind of test you are given. Antibody tests generally have a window period of 3-12 weeks. But RNA tests, available in some parts of the world, have a window period of about 10-14 days. I would talk to your provider about what test you are being given so you have a better grasp on your status (http://www.sfaf.org/hiv-info/testing/hiv-test-window-periods.html).
You don't mention if there was an agreement or arrangement between you and your partner about how and when you have sex with other people. But you clearly state that you did not know he had unprotected sex with someone until after you had bottomed. This is exactly the circumstance under which many consider using PrEP for HIV prevention.
PrEP is a daily pill that prevents HIV while someone is HIV negative. In the U.S. gay men are 68% more likely to acquire HIV from a 'main' partner than a casual partner (https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2013/10/18/236935146/to-prevent-hiv-infection-couples-try-testing-together). Especially when one enjoys receptive anal sex, PrEP is a means by which you can be in control of your sexual health regardless of your partner's HIV status or viral load.
Between the numerous variables and unlikely odds, combined with PEP started within 21 hours, it seems nearly impossible for you to have acquired HIV from this event. But I do hope it prompts you to consider your options for being in complete control of your sexual health. If there is a way to do so, I hope you and your partner can find a way to move through this with respect for one another, even if you choose not to continue your relationship.

In this post we will define Cloud and VPS, we will try to discern their differences and we will see again the equation: more criticity means more investment.
The service known as Cloud doesn’t stop being a virtual machine that’s used basically as a physical server but for a exclusive use. For it to be a virtual machine means that it uses virtualization. This mechanism divides the server in different virtual machines for them to work as physical servers.
Why ‘Cloud’? It’s called ‘cloud’ because it is a virtual machine that abstracts the physical hardware. Elements such as the network or storage are virtualized, i.e, they are not located in a particular location: if it fails, the Cloud will search for another hardware node or will keep operating.
The Cloud’s scalability is the most valuable element of this kind of service which allows to resize the hardware immediately. Also, for being a ‘infrastructure as a service’ or IaaS, it can be managed like a real server.
A Virtual Private Server, is a partition method or a virtual environment creation of a physical server in others servers and allows these new servers to operate like one single machine/server. Each VPS has its own software: operatively is like a dedicated server, the difference is that the hardware is shared. The segmentation of VPS is done by virtualization. The scalability in the VPS is possible, but just in a limited way.
- A Cloud server is tolerant to hardware failures: this service infrastructure (abstracting the hardware) allows it to move to different nodes while the VPS depends on the physical server where it belongs
- Cloud servers work with Xen or KVM technology for the virtualization. This mechanism allows the Cloud imitates to the perfection the physical servers behavior. It resembles so much that it can assign resources like processors or RAM memory. The VPS, has been assigned with resources but it is subjected to the physical server resources where it belongs.
- Failure's interruption: when it happens, the Cloud server can continue operating with the ‘swap’ mechanism, while the VPS has to ‘steal’ resources from its machine neighbors or maybe stop operating.
- While the VPS usually doesn’t allows different kind of types of administration (console access, for example), the Cloud server it’s usually offered with different kinds of management, from 0 to the maximum.
- The price: the VPS is usually cheaper than the Cloud servers
Now, from the virtualization mechanism where the ‘ virtual environments’ or virtual machines are created, we can find the Cloud server, in which it can be managed all: the infrastructure. And also, failure-proof. The VPS, a virtual machine, allows to manage services like a own server but in a limited kind of way and not failure-proof.
What can we choose? That was our question. We believe in the professionalism of the projects and the importance of invest in what it is more critical.
With any doubt, in SW Hosting we’ve bet for the infrastructure as a service for our customers, failure-proof, scalable and managed in different ways, and where price and professionalism go hand in hand according to the needs of the project.
