When it comes to cancer danger, tanning beds are in the same category ascigarettes
The incidence of melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, has been steadily rising over the past 30 years. Here's a scary statistic: the deadly disease kills about 6,000 people a year.
Melanoma is truly a tragedy because it affects young people—it is the most common form of cancer among young adults ages 25 to 29 years, and the second most common cancer in the 15 to 29 age range. Unless it's caught early, melanoma often results in a painful death.
"Catching it early" translates into a five-year survival rate of 90- 95%. Five years hardly seems like a long time to most of us, especially if you're only 25. But that's how "survival" rates are determined; and melanoma is a funny cancer—it could pop back up 10, 15 or 20 years later. I know from experience.
My wife, like most of us who grew up long before sunblock came on the market, spent almost every summer at the beach, baking to get the perfect tan. Now, of course, we know that exposure to the sun's UV rays at an early age is a major risk factor for skin cancer. Ten years ago she had a melanoma removed from her leg. We thought she was in the clear when she remained cancer-free well beyond the 5 year survival time—but, lo and behold, the melanoma reared it's ugly head again two months ago. Soon, she may be fighting for her life; there's no cure for melanoma that has spread.
Fortunately, now we can prevent skin cancers like melanoma by limiting our exposure to natural (sunlight) or artificial (tanning bed) UV radiation. Unfortunately, this knowledge hasn't dampened our quest for the perfect tan, despite its potential tragic consequences. With more than one million customers a day, many large cities have more tanning salons than Starbucks or McDonalds restaurants!
And can you guess who their best customers are? Caucasian girls between the ages of 16 and 29. The bad news for these sun lamp worshippers is that their risk of melanoma increases 75% from indoor tanning before the age of 35. These tanning beds are of such concern to public health that the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, placed tanning beds in the same category as other carcinogens like cigarettes, plutonium and UV radiation from the sun.
Thirty states now have laws banning teenagers from tanning salons, with Texas' being the most strict, banning those under 15 years of age. However, these laws can be circumvented with a permission slip signed by a parent. Hey, parents, you are putting your kids in danger, here! Would you give your kid permission slips to buy cigarettes or booze if they're underage? Hopefully not.
The tanning beds are in the same category. It's use is life-threatening. So, be a responsible parent and say no to tanning salons. And, all of you young adults who believe they're invincible—you're not! So far, there's no magic pill on the market for melanoma. Believe me, you don't want that call from the dermatologist telling you that mole she removed was melanoma—it's a life-changing disaster.

Taqwa is to leave of all the acts of disobedience (shirk, bid’ah, major and minor sins) and to stay away from those which distract us from Ar-Rahman.
The question then remains, how do we achieve Taqwa, how can we be the amazing slaves of Allah SWT?
[dropcap2]1[/dropcap2]Love Al-Wadud, be His beloved – Learn about Allah’s beautiful Names and Attributes. Be mesmerized and fall in absolute love with Him. When you do so, you can no longer bear the pain of disobeying your beloved. This creates a taste of detest inside your heart for the actions that are detestable by Allah SWT, and hence leaving the acts of disobedience and attaining Taqwa becomes easy.
And how can you not love the One, Who is the only One Who can love you in the true sense of the word?
[dropcap2]2[/dropcap2]Always remember Allah – This can be done in various ways. You can remember Allah through your salah, du’a and dhikr. But one of the best ways of constantly remembering Allah is that you remember that you are His full-time slave, and you live in this world only for Him. You are accountable to Him for every single thing you do, and not the slightest of your actions escape Him. He is Al-‘Aleem, the All-Knowing. Right now, whatever you are thinking or saying, He knows it in details and nothing is vague to Him. Hence, realizing the fact that you are always under His supervision helps you be more conscious in your behavior and aids you to leave off the things that He dislikes, aka gain Taqwa.
The fact is, whether you are conscious or not, He is watching you, so it’s wisest that you remember it always!
[dropcap2]3[/dropcap2]Realize the consequences of sins – It’s true that there is a temporary, delusional feeling of pleasure in sinning. However, soon does the pleasure flee and the scar remain. And the scar that forms due to sinning, is something that is so painful that it should be enough to scare us to death of even thinking of sinning the next time. Hence, next time you sin, think about the extreme consequences you may have to face due to it. It can be a severe punishment in the hereafter, nevertheless the punishment that comes in the dunya is way too painful as well.
One of the most painful punishments that a person can face in this dunya due to sinning is the distance from the Lord. Verily, the life of your heart, the peace of mind lies in having a life attached to the One above the Heavens. Through disobedience, distance is created, and through Taqwa closeness is created.
While sinning, do not think how small the sin is, imagine Whom you just defied?
[dropcap2]4[/dropcap2]Learn to recognize shaytan’s plot– Shaytan is never resting. He is constantly trying his best to move you away from the straight path of Islam. Ponder over the ways shaytan strives to take you away from Allah. One of the easiest ways is to use the Heart-Meter. Whenever any act of yours makes you experience a decrease in eemaan, realize that it is something shaytan wants you to do. Hence, practice taqwa and shun that act that has just caused you to move away from your Lord.
Never let your guard down, because Shaytan never rests!
[dropcap2]5[/dropcap2]Combat and control your desires – Learn to be free and liberated. Break the shackles of the slavery of the self and learn to be a slave of Allah. Do not do whatever your desire tells you to do. If you fear that the desire will lead you to something evil, then fear your desire and desire your fear, if that makes sense ?
And as you learn how to enslave your own desires and running them according to what Allah desired you will be of the successful. Because our Rabb has said (meaning of which is) : “And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul – it is those who will be successful.” ( Surah Hashr :9)
Evaluate yourself. Would you like to be a slave of such a weak and imperfect creation, leaving the slavery of the One above all creations and your True Master? The decision is ultimately yours.

I probably am still doing a bit much with the classes but I made sure to have my Monday and Friday easy days stay easy with the short runs and nothing else. I had heard from a few coaches that it’s fine to include yoga on any day (woo!) so I did that on Thursday paired with a last minute decision to head to Kick It. I was debating attending a yoga class today but I decided to take it as a full day off (though I may do some stretching and yoga on my own).
I am heading to NYC early Monday and have a packed week so want to make sure I have time to just relax, pack and get ready for the NYC craziness! Overall, I was happy with my training week because I fit in my 4 days of running on the plan and felt pretty energized throughout the week.

Aim: We examined whether cold water swimming for seven consecutive months changes basal leptin and insulin concentrations and insulin sensitivity in healthy non-obese women.
Materials and methods: Fourteen recreational female swimmers aged 45 ± 8.7 years, regularly swimming outdoors during winter months were exposed to cold water at least twice a week. Fasting blood samples were collected in October, January and April. Serum leptin, insulin and glucose concentrations were tested and insulin sensitivity was calculated using updated model HOMA2.
Results: Repeated cold water baths significantly increased insulin sensitivity and decreased insulin and leptin concentrations (p = 0.006, p = 0.032, p = 0.042, respectively). Leptin concentration positively correlated with body-mass index (BMI) and insulin level (r = 0.412, r = 0.868, respectively). Insulin level inversely correlated with insulin sensitivity and positively with glucose (r = -0.893, r = 0.166, respectively). No associations between leptin and insulin sensitivity were found.
Conclusion: Regular cold water swimming may stimulate metabolic changes suggesting that leptin and insulin participate in adaptive metabolic mechanisms triggered by repeated cold exposure accompanied by mild exercise in healthy non-obese women.
Keywords: Cold water swimming; insulin; insulin sensitivity; leptin.

The Faint Echo of 19th Century American Napoleonic Biography
by Thomas J. Vance (LTC, U.S. Army Reserve, Retired)
Americans shared a number of key historic events with Napoleon Bonaparte during the 19th century: the largest peaceful land transfer in world history with the Louisiana purchase; the War of 1812, considered by some historians to be a part of the Napoleonic Wars; and the impact of Waterloo, with Napoleon’s option of fleeing to America and the actual immigration of Bonaparte family members including Napoleon’s brother Joseph who lived in New Jersey for 19 years.
While Americans did not admire Napoleon the way they did George Washington, they were captivated by Napoleon’s achievements through talent as opposed to birthright like many other European heads of state. Napoleon was celebrated as a self-made man. According to one recent analysis, the fascination with Napoleon (or “the cult of Napoleon”) in the U.S. was second only to that in France. There were plays produced in America about Napoleon as early as 1820 and by 1859 there were 15 towns named Napoleon or Bonaparte.
The American publishing business was aware of this fascination for the former Emperor. In addition to publishing American writings on Napoleon, numerous editions of translated foreign memoirs appeared in American editions primarily from Philadelphia and New York publishing houses.
While there were a number of American writers and historians publishing both articles and books about Napoleon during the 19th century, this article focuses on five American writers whose works of Napoleonic biography stood out during the 19th century. Categorized by their professional training, they consisted of two ministers, a lawyer, a professional historian, and a teacher.
In addition to describing these authors and their contributions to Napoleonic literature and publishing, this article attempts to show the relevance of these works to Napoleonic historians during the 20th and 21st centuries (an appendix lists those works that cite these early American Napoleonic authors).
J. T. Headley
Joel T. Headley (1813-1897), who wrote more than 30 books of biography, history and travel, was the author of three volumes on Napoleon: the two-volume Napoleon and His Marshals (1846), The Distinguished Marshals of Napoleon (1850), and The Imperial Guard of Napoleon: from Marengo to Waterloo (1851). Of these works, his two-volume work on the marshals was his most popular and the one most likely to be referenced in 20th century works.
Napoleon and His Marshals, published when Headley was 33, was his fourth work and his first biographical work; the work became a best-seller and continued to be popular for decades. With portions of the book originally published in the American Review, the 647-page work contains a 66-page chapter on Napoleon and separate chapters on each of the 23 marshals. His eight-page preface identifies the objective of the work -- “to clear his character from the aspersions of English historians, and the slanders of his enemies” -- and makes it clear that the book contains no originality “except in the way I have arranged and grouped facts already given to the world.” Regarding his methods, he explains that his research included visits to many of the Napoleonic battlefields and he mentions 20 key sources he drew from (none of whom are American historians).
A review in The New Englander & Yale Review declared that, “This work is the work of the season,” calling Headley “a man of undoubted genius,” although the reviewer objects to the book’s favorable bias to its subject and suggests he turn his “strong and lively” talents to American biography.
Headley, a native of New York State, graduated from Union College, New York, and then attended Auburn Theological Seminary, entering the ministry upon graduation. He soon gave up the ministry, and after taking time off to travel and briefly try newspaper work, he turned to what would be a prolific career as an author. Napoleon and His Marshals was the first American work published by Baker and Scribner.
“The critics scoffed at Headley’s verbosity and questioned his facts and opinions,” according to one modern day observer. “But Americans, enamored of Napoleon the man-of-action and ready to forget the rest, bought the book in
unprecedented numbers.” Within 15 years of its publication date, Napoleon and His Marshals was in its 50th edition. While Headley’s books would not qualify today as professional history, for his day “they influenced the public and gave him fame and fortune” and he would be considered “a historian for his time.”
According to American Authors: 1600-1900, while Headley’s works were popular and “reached an enormous sale,” they were “more on the order of compilations than works of scholarship.”  Thanks to the web site “Napoleonic Literature,” Napoleon and His Marshals remains ‘in print’ with the entirety of the two-volume work available at no cost online. The editor of the site, John Schneider, refers to Headley as belonging to the “apologists” camp of Napoleonic historians
Of Headley’s three Napoleonic volumes, only the two-volume set on the marshals is evident in a survey of citations: Alexander, Chandler (Marshals) and Macartney.
John S. C. Abbott
John S. C. Abbott (1805-1877) wrote The History of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1855 when he was 50. Historian and clergyman, the Maine native graduated from Bowdoin College class of 1825, which included Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow. His only other book directly on Napoleon was Napoleon at St. Helena, also published in 1855, but some of his other works included volumes on the French Revolution, Josephine, Joseph Bonaparte, and Napoleon III.
Abbott trained for the ministry after Bowdoin and was ordained as a Congregational minister. At the age of 38, however, he joined his three brothers as an instructor in a family enterprise, Abbott’s Institute, in New York City. Meanwhile, his wife Jane Williams Bourne assisted him in his research. He returned to Maine in 1853 and began work on his biography of Napoleon, which was first serialized in 37 installments in Harper’s Review from 1851 to 1854.
The History of Napoleon Bonaparte began its many faceted run as a book form in 1855. The 1883 edition in two volumes (totaling 1,277 pages) features numerous illustrations by C. E. Doepler sprinkled throughout the work, maps by Jacob Wells, and footnotes -- with further details and sources -- at the bottom of some pages.
“The history of Napoleon has often been written by his enemies,” declares Abbott in the opening of his preface. “This narrative is from the pen of one who reveres and loves the Emperor.” He describes the plan for the work as a “plain narrative of what Napoleon did, with the explanations which he gave of his conduct, and with the record of such well-authenticated anecdotes and remarkable sayings as illustrate his character.” Regarding this sources, he states that “every incident here recorded, and every remark attributed to Napoleon, are well authenticated.”
A 20th century biographical sketch says that Abbott “praised Bonaparte so lavishly that the book, though successful, greatly antagonized the critics.”  Meanwhile, the historian George Gordon Andrews comments on Abbott’s lack of objectivity by saying that Abbott “revealed something of the lengths to which the Napoleonic legend might go,” referring to a passage in Abbott’s preface saying that he admired Napoleon because he “abhorred war.”
Four years after the publication of his Napoleon biography, Abbott traveled to France and became friends with Emperor Louis Napoleon. He returned to the ministry and continued writing his books -- a total of 54 by the end of his 72 years. He has been described as “indefatigable, systematic, a man of high standards and purpose.” American Authors comments that, “Although his work was widely read in its time, it had no lasting literary influence.”
Abbott’s biography on Napoleon is cited in: Alexander, Chandler (Campaigns and his Dictionary), P. C. Headley, and Korngold. Technically, his book is now again “in print,” re-issued in 2002 as an abridged 112-page book available by an on-demand publisher. Also, excerpts are available online through the Gutenberg Literary Archive.
John Codman Ropes (1836-1899), an attorney and military historian, is primarily recognized for his Civil War writings, but his works include two books on Napoleon: Napoleon the First: A Sketch, Political and Military
in 1885 (a 347-page volume based on lectures he delivered at the Lowell Institute in Boston) and Campaign of Waterloo
Ropes was born in Russia to American parents living in St. Petersburg. After his family returned to Salem, Mass., he graduated from Harvard College, followed by Harvard Law. In addition to the practice of law and his writing, he also served as editor of the American Law Review (1866-1869) and founded the Military Historical Society of Massachusetts (1876). He was also a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society, the Harvard Historical Society, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
“I have not undertaken to write a new history,” Ropes explains in the introduction, “but simply to indicate the lines upon which a new history might be written. The task of rectifying the fundamental notions with which nearly all historians have approached the study of the epoch of Napoleon is the task which I proposed to myself.” The book contains nine appendixes (examining a variety of historical questions), maps, and an index (and four pages of advertisements, including Dorsey Gardner’s Quatre Bras, Ligny & Waterloo). Writing from his Boston home, Ropes says, “It ought to be possible for Americans to arrive at an impartial estimate of the credit and blame which should attach to the chief actors in that famous drama.”
Both of Ropes’ Napoleonic works are mentioned in Dodge, Gottschalk, and Greer; Fisher cites only his Campaign of Waterloo.
William Milligan Sloane
William Milligan Sloane (1850-1928) is the author of the most complete and most authoritative biography of Napoleon written in America during the nineteenth century: Life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Written while serving as professor of History at Princeton, the book was first published when he was 45 years old as a series in The Century Magazine during 1895 and 1896, followed by a publication in four oversized volumes in 1896 (totaling 1,149 pages). The work was revised and expanded for the 1912 library edition (totaling 1,876 pages), by which time he was serving on the faculty at Columbia University.
Sloane graduated from Columbia College in 1868 and served for four years on the faculty of the Newell Institute in Pittsburg, Penn. He studied philosophy, the classics, and the Semitic languages at University of Berlin and then at University of Leipsic. While living in Berlin he worked as a research assistant for American historian and U. S. envoy to the German Court, George Bancroft. With the title of personal secretary, Sloane assisted with the tenth volume of Bancroft’s History of the United States. Sloane completed his doctorate at the University of Leipsic in 1876. He was a member of several professional societies while studying in Germany and in 1877 he wrote The Poet Labid: His Life, Times, and Fragmentary Writings.
Sloane taught history at Columbia where he earned his L.H.D. in 1887 and earned his LL.D. at Rutgers in 1898. He served as editor of both the Political Science Quarterly and of the American Historical Review and was president of the National (later American) Historical Association and also head of the National Institute of Arts and Letters. While the Life of Napoleon Bonaparte is considered his greatest achievement of authorship, he wrote nine other books of biography, history and government, including a volume on the French Revolution.
Writing in the preface to the library edition of Life of Napoleon Bonaparte (1910) from New York, Sloane writes, “Judging from the sales, it has been read by many tens if not hundreds of thousands of readers; and it has been extensively noticed in the critical journals of both worlds.” While the collection features a complete bibliography, it does not include footnotes, but he explains that he does list references at the beginning each chapter “for those who desire to extend their reading; experts know their own way.” Regarding footnotes, he writes that while he has had “extensive correspondence with my fellow workers, there has come to me in all these years but a single request for the source of two statements, and one demand for the evidence upon which certain opinions were based.”
This edition, also four volumes, but of traditional size, featured a three-page section on historical sources, a 46-page bibliography and a cumulative index totaling 172 pages. Sloane notes in his historical sources section -- consisting of unpublished documents, published official papers, and contemporary memoirs -- that since he originally wrote authored this biography that “great numbers of what were then manuscript journals, memoirs, or letters have been printed and published. He notes that proper use has been made of these new sources, and adds, “The author may be pardoned for remarking that few details of importance have been found incorrect, wherever experts agree, and that his many critics have made no demand for the reconstruction of his characterization in its broad outlines, however opposed they may be to his portrayals or discussions.”
Sloane’s work is complimented in several key references. David G. Chandler refers to Sloane as “the great historian.” Yale University Professor of History Edward Gaylord Bourne, wrote in his 1903 edition of August Fournier’s 1885 Napoleon the First: A Biography that, “The most important general biographies of Napoleon that have appeared in English since Fournier” are Sloane and J. H. Rose, a British author writing in 1902. Albert Guerard wrote in 1924 that the modern reader would be apt to be familiar with Sloane’s work, and in 1956 he wrote that Sloane is “among the best-known” authors.
Other references citing Sloane are Chandler (Dictionary), Delderfield, Dodge, Greer (noted as a “most valuable” source), Gottschalk, Haythornthwaite, Rose, and Young.
The editor of Napoleonic Literature website, John Schneider (Master Sergeant, U.S. Army, retired), has made a CD of the original 1896 volumes available and calls this collection “an epic achievement in the realm of Napoleonic literature.” Schneider writes that, “Sloane knew his subject well and, in this work, you will discover a wealth of information that is difficult or impossible to find elsewhere.”
Ida M. Tarbell (1857-1944), author of 25 books, wrote one book on Napoleon: A Short Life of Napoleon Bonaparte (1895) -- a book that saw several editions -- and she edited one volume on Napoleon: Napoleon’s Addresses: Selections from the Proclamations, Speeches and Correspondence of Napoleon Bonaparte (1897).
Tarbell’s biography of Napoleon began as a serial in McClure’s Magazine in 1894. The cover of the first installment boasts at the top of the page, “A Great Pictorial Life of Napoleon,” along with the teaser in the middle of the cover accompanying an illustration of Napoleon, “A New Life with an almost exhaustive series of Napoleon Portraits and over 100 other pictures begins in this number.”
The work is introduced by Napoleonic art collector Gardiner G. Hubbard who supplied the majority of art. The work was significant primarily because of the collection of illustrations, many of which were published for the first time. The series, appearing in the three-year old magazine, was credited with significantly increasing circulation.
The following year her work appeared as a collection titled McClure’s Complete Life of Napoleon, a 248-page magazine supplement with all 250 illustrations and issued again in 1896 as A Short Life of Napoleon Bonaparte (complete with a Bonaparte family tree and a useful chronology). Although not an authority on the subject of Napoleon, Tarbell conducted her research in Washington, D.C., at the Library of Congress. While she considered her scholarship sketchy, “the public loved the series,” according to a recent literary critique. Tarbell’s writing is described as “fast-paced, accurate, and informative.”
Tarbell graduated from Allegheny College, Pennsylvania, a small liberal arts school in 1880 with a biology degree, and was the only woman in her freshman class. She began her career as a teacher at Poland Union Seminary in Ohio. After three years she decided to leave teaching for journalism and took a position working for the magazine Chautauguan. Then, at the age of 33, she went to Paris to study historiography at the Sorbonne and used the Bibliotheque Nationale for her research on French Revolutionary activist Madame Marie Jeanne Roland. She supported herself as a freelance writer for American newspapers, which brought her to the attention of McClure’s Magazine. She accepted a job offer from that publication in 1893 and returned to the United States.
Following her first book, the Napoleon biography, she quickly became a prolific writer, publishing Madame Roland: A Biographical Study and The Early Life of Abraham Lincoln in 1896, the two-volume Life of Abraham Lincoln in 1900 and by 1905, the work she is often most remembered for, the two-volume exposé, History of the Standard Oil Company. Her 1900 study of Lincoln remained a standard work on the former president until 1947, in spite of the refusal by Lincoln’s son, Robert Todd Lincoln, to provide access to the family papers.
Identified as an historian, journalist and biographer, Tarbell “developed her skills as a biographer, utilizing historical documents to create psychological portraits of her subjects. Her biographies of Napoleon and Lincoln were considered among the most accessible, well-crafted, and thoroughly documented of their time.”
According to Tarbell biographer Mary E. Tomkins, Tarbell’s central purpose in the Napoleon biography was more historical than biographical, “exploiting the public’s curiousity about Napoleon to teach history…” Tomkin writes that Tarbell’s “skill in simplifying masses of data and her swift narrative style assured the popularity of the biography.” Tomkins writes that in contrast to Sloane’s “leisurely biography that was running concurrently in the Century, hers moved swiftly, often changing focus to feature historical highlights rather than meticulously developing the background of their emergence.”
In her memoirs, Tarbell – who refers to her life of Napoleon as “a sketch” – concludes that Napoleon’s life was “an amazing record of achievement.” While she admits that when initially asked to write this life she thought the idea was “laughable,” but decided “how could I refuse?” McClure’s started her at $40 a week and she was still receiving royalty checks at the writing of her memoirs in 1939.
It is interesting to note that Tarbell recorded the favorable responses she received from John Ropes and William Sloane on her Napoleon. According to Tarbell, Ropes “liked the treatment” and invited her to Boston for lunch, at which time she also had the opportunity to view his Napoleon collection. Regarding Sloane, she wrote that, “A bit of consolation for my hasty work came from the last source I would have expected.” When she once complimented Sloane on his Napoleonic scholarship, he replied, “I have often wished that I had had, as you did, the prod of necessity behind me, the obligation to get it out at a fixed time, to put it through, no time to idle, to weigh, only to set down. You got something that way – a living sketch.”
Of all the 19th century works included in this survey, only Gottschalk cited Tarbell’s Napoleonic biography as a reference.
The advances made in the historical method from the 1840s with Headley and the 1890s with Sloane is evident in Sloane’s work and its reception by 19th century historians. It is interesting to note that the majority of 20th century works citing these five early authors appears to be from the earlier part of the 20th century. Still, with Sloane’s credentials, it is surprising that citations to his work have not been greater.
Early American historiography on Napoleon seems totally ignored in several treatments of the subject, including the “Napoleonic Wars” entry of the Encyclopedia of Historians and Historical Writing and bibliographical essay in Geoffrey Ellis’ work on Napoleon. While Sloane was the only professional historian of the five, even he is not included in the standard collections on noted American historians.
It appears, that with the possible exception of Sloane (with apologies to the readability of Tarbell), the other authors remain largely relevant primarily for Napoleonic collectors and those amateur or professional historians looking to use older materials to illustrate development of the literature. The advent of electronic sources – both online and CD – has added new access, if not relevance, to information that would otherwise be sought after by Napoleonic collectors.
While these writings may only provide a faint echo from the 19th century, it is a worthy echo all the same.

At the end of the volume are advertisements for books, including 5 pages of testimonials for this volume including comments from the Detroit Free Press, New York Tribune and the Teacher’s Advocate (Syracuse), un-numbered advertising pages 14-18. His book, The Imperial Guard of Napoleon, (New York: Charles Scribner, 1851) was identified on the binding as The Old Guard of Napoleon. In his introduction to this work, Headley explains that the majority of the material was left over from his research for this two-volume history of Napoleon and His Marshals and that “The present work lays no claim to originality.” This 1851 volume referenced only one source, a French history of the Imperial Guard by Emile Marco de Saint Hiliare.

“Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air….
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
– Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.”
Another example that portrays the double-edged sword of the love of flight is the poem “High Flight” by aviator poet John Gillepsie. He wrote the now famous poem a few months before he died at the age of 19 following a midair collision between his Spitfire and a training aircraft. The collision occurred at a low altitude of 1400’, and the pilots were unable to exit their aircraft before impact. Both were killed.
Musician and pilot John Denver once set this poem to music, and I find it to be one of the most profoundly moving songs I have ever heard. Sadly, John Denver died while piloting an experimental aircraft after this song was released.

After spending the last year or so accustoming himself to fatherhood and fine tuning his 3rd LP The Cold Light Of Day with long time colloaborator Plutonic Lab, Dialectrix is kickstarting 2013 with a rare and limited edition release involving some of the worlds best talents.
The result is Satellite, an exclusive 5 track EP being released to vinyl only (digital D/L included) with each track showcasing an overseas producer while Dtrix exhibits the hunger and versatility the Sydney wordsmith is known for.
Artwork for the EP is being handled by April77 Creative, longtime collaborators with Dialectrix and creators of artwork for Obese Records, Hilltop Hoods, Bliss N Eso and many more. A limited number of Satellite EP will also be packaged with April77’s new book scheduled for release early 2013. The book will showcase an extensive selection of album cover artwork produced by the studio over the past 10 years.
Stop brings a barrage of braggadocio-battle raps intertwined with self assured ridiculousness that screams of live rowdiness over a smacking beat from Germany’s Suff Daddy with the additional finesse of one of Australia’s greatest turntablists DJ Bonez on the cut. Dialectrix shows an introspective view to his inner thoughts on the smooth and esoteric Enjoy The Music featuring the UK’s shining producer Eric Lau with fellow Blue Mountains brethren DJ Morgs of the Thundamentals appearing for a cameo scratch.
Dialectrix then goes in with a vicious delivery and a no holds barred attitude over former Scratch Pervert Mr Thing’s (UK) gigantic What Is This World Coming To?. From the media/social systems to his vehement disappointment in the music industry and the world in general, he leaves no stone unturned as to who and what are ruining the world around him. “Sydney Psychosis” is a tainted homage to the city over a rolling, hypnotic beat supplied courtesy of New Zealand’s Haz Beats of the notorious Home Brew Crew with cuts executed by the world renowned DJ Revolution.
The title track Satellite is spearheaded by one of LA’s finest beatsmiths Exile delivering his classic soulful chops as Dtrix alikens his position in the world to a satellite bunker with music being his main source to communicate abroad. The Satellite EP is a unique one off approach to mustering an eclectic and foreign soundscape while remaining underpinned with Dialectrix’s familiar and technical flow. Secure your copy of this extremely limited release before they are all gone!
Obese Records would like to invite all Dialectrix fans, vinyl lovers and contributors throughout the Pozible community to get their hands on and support the making of this limited edition EP. There are a number of options for you to support please see to the right of this page. Dialectrix would like to thank you for your support in helping make this project happen.

1 Year After Illinois Shooting, Police Push Gun-Fee Hike
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly is commemorating the one-year anniversary of an Aurora warehouse shooting that killed five employees and wounded five police officers. He said Thursday that the state police has beefed up enforcement of the Firearms Owner's Identification card process with its existing budget. But Kelly says more is necessary and advocated legislation in the Senate to increase the FOID fee. The legislation would also require fingerprints from applicants. Gun-rights advocates bitterly oppose the measure. They filed a lawsuit this month against the state police alleging that $30 million in gun-enforcement fees was spent on other bills.


CHICAGO — A U.S. meat company that supplies Walmart and Costco is suing New Mexico to fight a state order that seeks to close a production facility where more than 100 workers have tested positive for COVID-19.
The lawsuit from Stampede Meat argues the plant in Sunland Park, New Mexico, should stay open under an executive order from President Donald Trump, pitting the federal government against local health officials as coronavirus infections rise.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Trump in April ordered meat plants to stay open to protect the U.S. food supply, following virus outbreaks at slaughterhouses that slashed production and prompted retailers like Costco and Kroger to limit customers’ purchases.
However, the New Mexico Department of Health last week ordered Stampede Meat to shut for 14 days, after the state identified at least six COVID-19 cases at the plant during a five-day period in late October.
Stampede Meat’s lawsuit said the order is unconstitutional and would force the company to destroy millions of pounds of meat that could go to grocers or other customers like the restaurant chains Denny’s and Applebee’s.
“Allowing the Department of Health to ignore the President’s Executive Order and close Stampede Meat and other meat and poultry processing companies will lead to similar food shortages and rationing,” the lawsuit said.

Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infections in Dogs and Natural Treatments
Pets can acquire UTIs when bacteria finds its way into the body. This can happen in many different ways, and in some cases, a weakened immune system can make matters worse. Here's our advice on what to look for to determine if your dog has a UTI and holistic treatments.
Symptoms of UTI in Dogs
Some common symptoms or signs that your pet might have a UTI can include:
- More frequent urination than normal (sometimes with little output)
- Straining or look of discomfort while urinating
- Accidents in the house
- Licking of the urethra
- Concentrated or dark-colored urine
Natural Remedies for UTIs in Dogs
If your pet is having one, or many of these symptoms, you may want to consider contacting a vet to find out more information. If you know that your pet is prone to UTIs though and are looking for natural solutions to prevent future infections or want to treat it holistically, here is some more information.
Holistic treatments take into account your pets' surroundings, lifestyle, and diet.
Cranberries contain a substance that actually prevents bacteria from adhering to the bladder wall.
Cran-Max® is essentially a cranberry concentrate that contains many healthy nutrients. Similar to how it works with humans, this concentrate helps cleanse the urinary tract of dogs and preventing build up of bacteria on the bladder's walls is a part of that. Working Cran-Max® into your pet's diet is easy with our powdered supplement. Just sprinkle this over your pet's food or mix it into their moist food for a quick and easy solution.
When bacteria gets in the urinary tract, it can often cause inflammation which can lead to pain and discomfort for your pet. A natural remedy that helps treat and soothe this inflammation is marshmallow root. Marshmallow root also naturally strengthens the immune system which can help fight off bacteria causing the UTI. Working marshmallow root powder into your pet's diet is an easy way to serve them this healthy ingredient.
Increased Water Intake
Increasing the fluid intake in your pets' diet, whether by providing more liquids or working in a moist food to their diet, can be helpful as well. Water can help to keep the system flushed out and well hydrated, preventing the buildup of bacteria.
Pets that are kept in the house for long periods of time before being allowed to eliminate, may be more prone to urinary tract infections. If you work long hours, consider coordinating someone to let your dog outside during the day or hire a dog walker.
Stress and emotional upset can also play a factor. If you move to a new house or switch litter trays, cats can become reluctant to use the litter tray and this can lead to issues as well. If you feel stress may be playing a factor, consider natural stress remedies as well.
How Can Your Prevent Urinary Tract Infections in Dogs?
Each of the solutions above can benefit your pet's health and are known holistic remedies for UTI treatment. If you know your pet is prone to Urinary Tract Infections though, consider keeping these things in mind on an ongoing basis.
Lowering stress and providing your pets with an adequate about of water are important to their overall health on an ongoing basis.

She now resides in Austin, Texas and tours nationally.
Ruby Jane's unique style blends rock, folk, jazz, and funk into an exciting and stunning amalgamation of sounds.

Her new single and music video, "Ticket Out", was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Mario Marchetti (Black Eyed Peas, JoJo, Jennifer Lopez, Pussycat Dolls, etc.) and was released Nov 7, 2013 as the first track on her upcoming 2014.
"She is a multi-instrumentalist, talented with violin, mandolin, guitar, and sweet vocals. She has a great bag of original tunes, and loves to play jazz & swing covers...especially those by Django Reinhardt. Ruby Jane has a good ear for invention and everything she plays has sections where she lets her musical mind and her flying fingers soar! We are lucky that she moved to Austin and can treat her Austin friends to her exceptional "Ruby Jane Show" of delicious music. " ~ Daren
"She is a great picker, fiddler, songwriter, and singer with an amazing career in front of her. I love her!" ~ Willie Nelson

US space agency Nasa has been left red-faced after selling off computers without ensuring that highly sensitive data had been removed.
An internal investigation found 10 cases where PCs were sold despite failing data removal procedures.
Another four PCs – which were about to be sold – were found to contain data restricted under arms control rules.
The computers were being sold off as Nasa winds down its space shuttle operations.
The last shuttle flight is scheduled for June 2011.

As the year 2017 is coming to a close and a new year is approaching I find myself thinking about what has passed and what’s to come. Today, I am catapulted back in time—to 2002 when one of the oncology nurses at Southwestern Vermont Regional Cancer Center introduced me—the medical humanist’s role—to a newly diagnosed patient.
“Maybe you can answer my question?” the patient asked.
“I’ll try,” I said.
“I find myself wondering when I should let my family and friends know that I have been diagnosed with cancer,” she explained. “I’m not sure when treatment will begin so is it better that they know now or should I wait.”
“Is avoidance an effort on my part to spare others or maybe a fear of me being unable to handle their responses?”
She paused for a moment and asked, “Do you think e-mail is an acceptable form of notifying them that I have been diagnosed with cancer?”
“Ah…” I hear myself say. “I think e-mail could be one of the prescribed forms. It allows you time to compose your thoughts, construct the message you want to send and to connect with your family and friends. And, for those who receive your message to have time to think about what it is you have said and how to respond.”
In such instances e-mails can protect us from one’s immediate response to the word cancer, which is only one word in the sentence. Or, as the poet Emily Dickinson discovered:
A word is dead
When it is said,
I say it just
Begins to live that Day.

Polynesian Ground Dove (Alopecoenas erythropterus)
Mohamed bin Zayed Species project number 152510711
Evaluating Critically Endangered Polynesian Ground Dove population status on islands planned for restoration in the Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia
Acteon & Gambier Archipelagos, French Polynesia, July 29, 2015
BirdLife International, with Société d’Ornithologie de Polynésie (SOP Manu – BirdLife Partner in French Polynesia) and Island Conservation, has just completed an ambitious conservation operation on six remote islands in the Tuamotu (Acteon group) & Gambier archipelagos. The project makes an unprecedented contribution to saving one of our world’s rarest birds and a number of other endangered species from extinction. With the support of local people, government and NGO organisations – many helping directly in project implementation – this operation has reset the native ecological balance to a time probably not known on these islands since Polynesian colonisation. Local livelihoods are also expected to benefit as a result of the projects success.
The Critically Endangered Polynesian Ground-dove Alopecoenas erythropterus, locally known as the Tutururu, is one of the world’s rarest birds. Found on just five small atolls in French Polynesia, there are only about 150 of these birds left in the world. Thanks to this project the safe habitat now available to the Tutururu has more than doubled. Even though these islands are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean over 1500km from Tahiti, their isolation has not protected them from a negative human legacy. The birds on these islands evolved in the absence of predatory mammals, but the arrival of humans also brought a suite of invasive species. Flightless and defenceless, chicks and eggs are eaten by invasive predators such as rats, and native ecosystems are severely disturbed by other animal and plant invaders.The team’s surveys in this project confirmed that almost all of the remaining Polynesian Ground-dove live on a nearby rat-free atoll.
“Invasive alien species are a key driver of global biodiversity loss,” says Don Stewart, Director of BirdLife Pacific. “Introduced mammals alone are believed to be responsible for 90% of all bird extinctions since 1500, and are presently the main cause of decline for nine out of ten globally threatened birds within the Pacific.”Using island restoration methods proven on over 400 islands around the world, the team created much-needed safe habitat for the resident and Critically Endangered Polynesian Ground-dove, Endangered Tuamotu Sandpiper Prosobonia parvirostris(Titi) and Endangered Polynesian Storm-petrel Nesofregetta fuliginosa, as well as a number of Critically Endangered plant species.
“Rarely do we get the chance to have such a big impact in biodiversity conservation with just one project”, said Steve Cranwell, Operation Manager and Invasive Species expert from BirdLife Pacific.
“In the last few days of the operation more Polynesian Ground-dove and Tuamotu Sandpiper were sighted on Vahanga – the chances of finding established populations on these islands in a year’s time are high”, said Richard Griffiths, Island Conservation Project Director. “This is a sign of hope for recovery not only for these French Polynesian species, but for the hundreds of threatened island species around the world waiting for similar interventions on their behalf”.
Incredible logistical challenge and adventure
Delivering this incredibly important result for native wildlife required a herculean logistical commitment and a team of 31 personnel hailing from three continents and six countries. The successful shipment of hundreds of tonnes of equipment, and donated supplies from key partners Bell Laboratories and Tomcat, to these remote islands (including a helicopter); and the ability to overcome adverse weather, intestinal maladies and sleep deprivation, was some testimony to the three years of planning and preparation!“Amazingly, given everything that could have gone wrong, we kept on track”, said Steve Cranwell.
“By tackling a group of islands in one extensive operation – sharing transport, equipment and expertise – we could restore all six threatened islands for the price of restoring less than two islands individually”, explained Steve. “But totalling almost a million Euros, this is our biggest restoration project ever.”
A project of this nature is synonymous with adventure. “Flying in a helicopter hundreds of miles over open ocean with nowhere to land other than the distant ‘pin-prick’ atoll you’re aiming for tends to heighten an interest in weather conditions…” recalls Steve.
A central part of the operation’s success has been the contribution from local people and organisations. Businesses provided essential services and the French Polynesian government assisted with costs. Local people helped plan the operation and supported its implementation, from surveying for Tutururu and Titi, to helping remove the invasive species including clearing dense tangles of the plant, Lantana, which was out-competing the native forest.
“Thanks to everyone who gave invaluable help – from the Polynesian locals, to local groups, to the Nuku Hau boat crew, to the Gambier City Council, to landowners, to every boatman that transported the crew, even in bad weather!” said Tom Ghestemme, Director of SOP Manu. “A project of this size could only have happened with your collaboration.”
Future – lives saved and livelihoods bettered
The operation is just the beginning of this relationship. In the coming years, SOP Manu and project partners will continue to support the local communities in preventing the return of rats and other invasive species; and in monitoring the return ofTutururu, Titi, and the many other rare seabirds and plants expected to recover with the removal of rats.
“Managing coconut production so both the needs of the Pa’umotu people, the native wildlife and ecosystems are met will be one essential element in the ongoing protection of these islands”, said Tom Ghestemme.
“The continued support and enthusiasm of the local people and government of French Polynesia are absolutely crucial to the eventual success of this project,” said Steve Cranwell. “Not only are the lives of Tutururu and Titi dependent on a culture of biosecurity on these islands, but so is the quality of life and livelihoods of the Pa’umotuan people.”
“The islands of French Polynesia face many threats from invasive species to climate change and to have this assistance in reversing some of these negative impacts is a tremendous gift to protecting our islands, traditions and way of life” said Father Joël Aumeran Vicar general of Papeete Diocese of Catholic Church, owner of Acteons islands. Through biosecurity we will continue to support this investment ensuring a legacy that Pa’umotu people and generations to come will benefit from.”
“It will be one year before we can declare the six islands rat-free, but initial signs are very positive”, said Steve.

Speakers included stalwart supporters of SWAN, Peter Beresford, Professor of Social Policy and chair of Shaping Our Lives, and June Sadd, a mental health survivor and researcher. We also heard from a member of Unison’s NEC (in her personal capacity) and a worker from Unite Community and activists came from two important disputes, both challenging the effects of privatisation of adult services, Your Choice Barnet, following which we collected £150 for their strike fund, and St Mungo’s Housing who didn’t need a collection since they’d just won their dispute!
This gives some idea of the scope of the conference. What we learnt from it? That ‘mental illness’ has a deep impact on both service users and practitioners, that it effects those diagnosed with specific conditions and less obviously but equally corrosively on the wider community. This includes vulnerable women forced into giving up their babies for adoption, children coping with abusive family conditions, members of the LGBT community facing domestic violence. And we also learnt how people can survive and thrive, whether it’s music or campaigning or both, there’s a collective response that takes on the aloneness.
What SWAN learns from the event is the need to address more clearly the experience of those in the Black and Ethnic Minority Communities. We’re also beginning to network with other campaigns concerned with the impact of privatisation on mental health services and the voluntary sector.

No man is an island and often people go through life transformations in groups. People move in waves, and if your friends are meeting partners, then that means that you are in the ebb and flow of meeting someone special, too. You see it all the time with groups of friends: one friend in a group gets married and then it seems like everyone else ties the knot as well. Likewise, when
one friend has kids, the others probably aren't too far behind.
With that wave effect in mind, if you are looking to be in a great relationship, then mix with people who are already in great partnerships so that it rubs off on you. Take stock of how happy your friends are. If you are around a lot of people who are in dysfunctional partnerships, then you need to be careful that you don't attract the same dynamic as well. If you notice that this is the case, then you might want to spend some more time with people who are in the kind of relationship that you wish to emulate.

SEATTLE — Two marijuana-related bills advanced Thursday in Olympia, with legislative committees giving their OK to one measure that would block police from arresting medical marijuana patients and another that would let people have misdemeanor pot convictions erased.
The House Public Safety Committee voted 6-5 to recommend the bill on pot convictions be passed, and the Senate Health Care Committee approved the arrest-protection bill. The votes beat today’s deadline for bills dealing with policy matters to be passed out of committee.
Democratic Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon of Burien told the House committee Wednesday that after Initiative 502 passed, allowing adults over 21 to have up to an ounce of marijuana under state law, he started thinking about the thousands of people who have criminal records for activity that is now legal — criminal records that can keep people from getting jobs, housing or loans.
Typically, people must wait three years after completing their sentence before asking to have a misdemeanor conviction vacated. The bill would eliminate that waiting period and remove other restrictions on having pot misdemeanors wiped clean.
The bill drew some objections at a hearing Thursday. The head of the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, Tom McBride, noted that the bill would allow people to have their convictions erased even if they had more marijuana than I-502 allows. Misdemeanor pot possession has historically been defined as up to 40 grams, but the new law only lets people have up to an ounce, or 28 grams.
Ezra Eickmeyer, a lobbyist with the Washington Cannabis Association, said Thursday that was a minor concern.
“What the people voted for was not to put people in jail and give them criminal convictions for possessing small amounts of marijuana,” he said.

Some traders use them, some traders don’t. I use do them, and in this article i am going to explain why setting stop losses will make you a better trader.
What are stop losses?
Stop losses are exactly that, they stop you from being exposed to significant losses if you get it wrong.
Many traders do not fully understand when it is safe to enter a trade, so they often get into the market at the wrong time, and a stop loss is used to limit a traders losses if the trade moves too far from the entry position, to a level where the trader feels that the trade will not be a successful one.
How are stop losses used by the majority of traders?
The majority of traders to do not have a clear understanding of the market, and are therefore entering trades based on how much they are prepared to lose on a trade, rather than how much they can profit on a trade.
A professional trader will always look at a trade from a profit point initially. A professional trader will understand the market, and will see a profit target first before he sets his stop loss.
A typical retail trader will set a stop loss of anything from 10 to 30 pips from their entry point, and they will target a risk reward ratio of at least 2 to 1. So their profit target will be anything from 20 to 60 pips.
Now if you are reading this and thinking yes that’s me. That’s what i do, but i always seem to get stopped out. Whether i set a 10 pip stop or a 30 pip stop i always seem to get stopped out, it just takes a bit longer if i use a 30 pip stop.
Why the majority of traders are getting stopped out.
The simple answer is they are entering the market at the wrong time. Think about this statement.
The market does not care where you enter, and it does not care where your take profit is. The market will do its thing and you will either get stopped out, or price will hit your take profit.
Traders that are getting stopped out more often, tend to use bigger stop losses to avoid the stop out. But if you increase the size of your stop loss, you also have to increase your take profit target. So if you are using a 2 to 1 RR, a bigger stop loss will mean a bigger take profit, and if you are targeting a bigger take profit, the sentiment of the market has more time to change before your TP is hit, and your trade has less chance of working out.
So how can you avoid being stopped out before your take profit is hit?
The answer for the majority of traders is to trade without stop losses. I have been trading professionally for quite a few years now and i have seen many changes in the market, but one of the most significant changes that i have seen, is how many retail traders are now trading without stop losses.
If you want to see your money go down the toilet, trade without a stop loss.
The main reason is because they do not want to lose their money, but another more interesting reason is they think that if they put a stop loss in the market that is visible to their broker, then it will be easier for the broker to stop them out if they know where their stop is.
Many retail traders talk about stop hunting, and say that if your stop is visible to your broker he will hunt you down and stop you out. This is complete rubbish. No broker is going to move the market to get your 100 bucks. Do you know how much money is costs to move the market 1 pip? Why would a broker spend millions for dollars trying to move the market to get your 100 bucks?
Trading without a stop loss is not the way to be successful in the Forex business. Trading success is about entering the market at the correct time. If you do this then the chance of you getting stopped out is greatly reduced, and your trade is more likely to hit your take profit.
Why i prefer to use stop losses.
To benefit from the use of stop losses you first have to learn how to trade, so you are entering the market at the correct time. When you know how to trade, a stop loss is very important because it takes the emotion out of trading.
When you enter a trade with a stop loss, you are limiting your risk, so if you are comfortable with your risk, and your potential reward, then you are trading based on a calculated trading decision, and not on an emotional hunch.
Traders that trade without stop losses are emotional wrecks, as they do not know their potential loss in advance, so they are glued to the chart, hoping and praying that the trade works out before they lose their shirt.
This is not how professional traders trade. Professional traders take calculated risks based on high probability trade set ups. They set a stop loss, and a take profit that they are comfortable with, based on a clear understanding of the market and its participants. When the stop loss and take profit is set, they move on to another trading opportunity.
Set and forget.
Although i am not a great fan of set and forget it does take a lot of the emotion out of trading. I tend to use a set and monitor strategy rather than a set and forget. The market is constantly changing and i believe that you have to monitor your trades as the market changes. You may need to tweak your stop a little, or your take profit, to maximize your potential reward, and limit your potential risk.
Setting stop losses will help you to become a more successful trader.
Setting stop losses takes the emotion out or trading.
Setting stop losses enables you to set and forget. Or as i prefer set and monitor.
Setting stop losses helps you to protect your capital.
Setting stop losses means you can move onto new trading opportunities, and not sit glued to the chart all day.
Setting stop losses gives you your life back. If you want to go for a walk, or go and grab some lunch you can do, because you have the protection of a stop loss, and you are comfortable with your risk.
The most important thing to take from this article is stop losses will only work if you are entering and exiting the market at the correct time, and that is the holy grail of trading in my opinion.
