Vitamin D – Benefits, Sources and Precautions
Most of us have been made aware of the need for Vitamin D from an increased media campaign over the last couple of years. What we call Vitamin D isnt a pure vitamin as such like for example Vitamin C because our bodies do make it. It crosses into the territory of a hormone too, that our body produces through a series of processes which happen naturally from receiving UVB sunlight through the skin. Molecules from our cholesterol convert this received light to cholecalciferol, also known as D3. It is really our own form of a type of photosynthesis. Cholecalciferol travels to the liver where it is converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD). The kidney then converts 25OHD to 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D (1,25OHD), also known as calcitriol, which possesses hormonal properties and regulates calcium and phosphate balance.
Sadly most of us lack enough sunlight caused by a cloudy climate, being indoors too much and not exposing enough skin to it without suncream for long enough. So most of us do become deficient.
Vitamin D is really essential for maintaining your health, and we can easily underestimate how important it is. We dont know all of its functions for sure but here are some correlations to deficiency:
Some small deficiency symptoms are; poor energy, insomnia, compromised immune system, and mood imbalance.
Some higher deficiencies are being linked to; Autism,Breast cancer,MS,Brittle Bones,Heart and Brain problems for example Dementia, Type 2 Diabetes, Auto-immune diseases, Skin and Colon cancer. New research is also looking at the relationship between IBS and vitamin D deficiency. There is rarely one isolated cause for any illness or symptom, it is usually a multi-layered one so please bare that in mind.
It is doubly important in pregnancy to have enough for you and your child as the child is totally dependent on the mother at this stage for this. Teeth are formed in the womb for example and I believe alot more is determind there as a kind of blue print than we are aware of. There are studies that even link a lack of vitamin D in the womb to poor verbal skills in childhood.
Getting enough naturally from diet alone can be tricky as there aren’t many foods that contain the nutrient in the first place and second the quality of these foods as they are presented to us today is questionable. The best sources for D3 are eggs, oily fish,whole organic milk,butter and cheese and ergocalciferol or plant D2 from mushrooms but it is not loads. Here it is also worth being aware that farm fed salmon for example are not able to make enough and mushrooms need UV sunlight to make it too so again it depends on the cultivation as to how rich they are in it. Also pasteurisation of dairy makes calcium and proteins and vitamin D less absorbable so raw milk is totally preferable to receive any benefit – this is a good link to read on this matter –
The above is a point to bare in mind with all stated availability of nutrients in foods. The best supplements to take are D3 or Cholecalciferol made from Lichen, some also extract it from lanolin. The D3 from Cytoplan is good quality and from Lichen so fine for vegans and vegetarians too. Remember vitamin D is fat soluable, This means that if you take a supplement you must have it with foods containing healthy fats or your body is unable to absorb and use it so well.
In the US the recommended daily intake is higher than in the UK for some reason, even though we tend to get less sunshine hours here. The average daily base recommendation in the UK is 400iu (10mcg) by the government for the whole population, adults and children, but this is an average baseline. In the US it is 600iu
What needs to be considered is age and more importantly if there is already a deficiency. The above doses are recommended to maintain an optimum level. If you were already deficient you would need to take much more. Please refer to this article here and seek advice from myself or another qualified nutritionist or doctor if you believe you are very deficient; http://www.vitamind3uk.com/VitaminD_Dose_How_Much_Needed.html
The optimum way for maintenance would be 15-30 minutes a day of sun-cream free skin exposure to midday sun ! Everything we have been told to avoid over the last decades. And a varied and healthy diet. Vegans are definately advised to supplement.
Word of awareness D3 – cholecalciferol v D2 – ergocalciferol – Many sites state that fortified cereals and milks are a good source. I do not recommend these as they usually contain D2 which although original from yeast or fungus often goes through alot of processing and is a form that your body does not use so well and can be calcifying in an unhelpful way especially if a person tends to be over acid. You will see articles for and against D2 but from my research I would definately prefer the foodstate D3. It is more effective at increasing levels of 25OHD which convert to calcitriol, responsible for calcium regulation. Research has also shown that higher serum levels of D2 are associated with lower levels of D3 and therefore a high intake of D2 may reduce availability of D3 and potentially calcitriol. Further studies conclude that D3 is more appropriate to sustain adequate 25OHD levels than D2, therefore it is recommended to obtain vitamin D in the form of D3. A couple of examples of research opinions are;
- A study looking at improvement in myelination and recovery from nerve injury concluded that cholecalciferol (D3) is more efficient than ergocalciferol (D2). When delivered at a high dose (500 IU/kg/day), cholecalciferol induced a significant locomotor and electrophysiological recovery. The study also demonstrated that cholecalciferol increases i) the number of preserved or newly formed axons in the proximal end, ii) the mean axon diameter in the distal end, and iii) neurite myelination in both distal and proximal ends.
- One report suggests that vitamin D2 should no longer be considered equivalent to vitamin D3 based on differences in their efficacy at raising serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, diminished binding of vitamin D2 metabolites to vitamin D binding protein in plasma, and a non-physiologic metabolism and shorter shelf life of vitamin D2. Vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, should not be regarded as a nutrient suitable for supplementation or fortification.In a recently published study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, vitamin D3 was shown to be 87% more effective in raising vitamin D levels in the blood over vitamin D2. According to the lead researcher Dr. Robert Heaney (Creigton University School of Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska),
“Given its greater potency, D3 should be the preferred treatment option when correcting vitamin D deficiency.”
Their research showed that vitamin D3 produced significantly greater bioavailability and reserve storage than vitamin D2.
Over dosing on Vitamin D supplementation would cause death, for this reason the processed version is the main ingredient in rat poison and all animals are vulnerable to this. But this is not a danger for humans unless exceeding doses of over 40,000IU over a couple of months. The majority of the population are not obtaining adequate levels of vitamin D, however it is possible to have excessive and therefore toxic levels of vitamin D with the main consequence of this a too high level of calcium within the blood (hypercalcaemia) causing calcification and kidney stones etc. I suggest that if you are taking more than 5000 IU per day for more than 3 months, then vitamin D blood levels should be checked regularly, especially during the summer months.
An adequate blood level is considered to be above 50 nmol/litre; the scientific literature suggests that a higher level of between 100 to 150 nmol/litre is optimal; levels above 250 nmol/litre are not advised and in this case measures should be taken to lower levels. Please note some laboratories use different units i.e ng/ml rather than nmol/litre quoted here. In this case the optimal range is 40 to 60 ng/ml.
Vitamin D Benefits in more detail:
Calcitriol (the active form of vitamin D) plays an essential role in maintaining and supporting adequate bone density and it has been shown that vitamin D deficiency is related to an increased risk of osteoporosis and osteomalacia as well as specifically leading to rickets, particularly in children. This is because the primary effect of vitamin D is enhanced calcium absorption in the small intestine.
When there are low levels of blood calcium, PTH (parathyroid hormone) secretion is increased which stimulates production of 1,25OH2D (calcitriol) in the kidney. Calcitriol interacts with the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in intestinal cells and signals to increase the expression of calcium transporters and calcibindin D and increase ATP dependent Ca2+ pumps, all of which increases calcium absorption. Vitamin D also stimulates the reuptake of calcium from the kidneys, therefore reducing the excretion of calcium.
So vitamin D is responsible for maintaining adequate serum levels of calcium and in doing so it helps to maintain bone density. Serum calcium needs to be regulated within a tight physiological range and if levels fall, then the other action of PTH is to cause the release of calcium and phosphate from bone (i.e. in order to maintain adequate serum calcium and phosphate levels). Thus, vitamin D protects bone from calcium and phosphate loss.
Low serum vitamin D levels have been associated with an increased risk of hypertension, atherosclerosis, dyslipidaemia, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. The precise mechanisms for how vitamin D protects the cardiovascular system remain unclear, however potential hypotheses include:
- Downregulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system – this system is involved in increasing blood volume and therefore blood pressure. Therefore, it is suggested that vitamin D reduces hypertension via this downregulation
- Direct effects on the heart and vasculature
- Improvement of glycaemic control
- Downregulation of inflammatory pathways
Again, as with many other conditions, the role of vitamin D in cognitive health is not yet completely understood. A large 2014 study published in Neurology showed people with extremely low blood levels of vitamin D were more than twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia as those with normal vitamin D levels.
Studies have found that vitamin D has pro-cognitive and neuroprotective functions, including the reduction of hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease such as amyloid beta and phosphorylated tau. In rats, decline in learning and memory was ameliorated by vitamin D3 supplementation, whereas no improvement was observed in controls.
Mechanisms of action by which vitamin D may be supportive of cognitive health include:
- Inducing nerve growth factors and neurite outgrowth (observed in embryonic rat hippocampal neurons), i.e. supporting nerve growth
- Increasing activity of choline acetyltransferase, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter (a brain chemical important for in memory)
- Increasing the clearance of amyloid plaques (this has been observed in vitro)
- Reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β, and increasing the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10
Epidemiological evidence has shown increased prevalence of several autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, MS, type I diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis at Northern latitudes where sun exposure is reduced; therefore, it has been suggested that vitamin D is protective against autoimmune conditions.
This is likely to be due to anti-inflammatory and immune modulating effects that vitamin D has demonstrated, such as regulating the production of inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting the proliferation of pro-inflammatory cells, both of which are crucial for the development of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
- In a recent study, both forms of vitamin D – 1,25(OH)2D3 and 25(OH)D3 exhibited anti-inflammatory actions by dose-dependently inhibiting lipopolysaccharide induced production of IL-6, and TNFα (pro-inflammatory cytokines) by human monocytes (immune cells).
- T helper 1 (Th1) is essential for part of the innate immune system, particularly in response to infection. However, the balance of T Helper 1 cells with T Helper 2 cells needs to be tightly regulated. Excess Th1 compared with Th2 for prolonged periods of time, in the absence of acute infection, is known as Th1 dominance and is associated with tissue specific autoimmune disease such as multiple sclerosis or rheumatoid arthritis. Research has shown that D3 can reduce Th1 (T helper 1) dominance.
Additional evidence has strongly suggested that vitamin D plays an important role in modifying the risk of type 2 diabetes, an effect which is likely mediated by an effect of vitamin D on beta cell function, insulin sensitivity and systemic inflammation. Vitamin D has both direct and indirect effects, the latter via regulation of calcium effects on various mechanisms related to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, including pancreatic beta cell dysfunction, impaired insulin action and systemic inflammation.

Somewhere between Indonesia and Nicaragua, pharmacist Brian Dery realized sports drinks just weren’t cutting it.
His adventures to some of the world’s most exotic surfing breaks were bogging down with the realities of foreign travel: the jet lag, the traveler’s flu, the hangovers, the occasional food poisoning.
Dehydrated and exhausted, Dery’s friends urged him to find a solution. “They said, ‘You’re the pharmacist, come up with something,'” Dery said. “So I just took a stab at it.”
The result, first developed in the kitchen of his Satellite Beach home, was the Banana Bag Oral Solution, an oral hydration product designed to match the effectiveness of medical-grade remedies.- Excerpt from Florida Today

The pilots, backed by£15m investment over the next two years, will look at ways of addressing such issues as access to treatment for major diseases like chronic heart disease and the uptake of screening and prevention services which is much lower in the most deprived areas compared to the most affluent areas of Scotland.
The pilots follow the research report on unmet need from John Arbuthnott's standing committee on resource allocation. This report concluded that there is clear evidence that people living in the most deprived areas of Scotland are less likely to access healthcare services than people from the most affluent areas. It pointed out that this has implications for the way that resources are allocated between NHS Boards and recommended that an adjustment to take account of this should be included in the Arbuthnott formula.
Announcing the funding the minister said:
'We have the evidence to show that those in the most deprived areas are not accessing healthcare services at the same rate as their most affluent neighbours.
'This means that those communities most needing help, whether that is screening or immunisation or treatment for ill health, are not receiving as much as they should. These are the very communities, blighted by chronic disease over so many years, that need our help the most.
'Sir John's committee has recommended that a further adjustment should be made to the resource allocation formula to take account of unmet need in the most deprived a reas. However, before we decide on this we need to examine how additional funding can be used to improve access to health services by people from the most deprived areas.
'We want to see innovative ideas for addressing unmet health needs and an improvement in access to NHS services by people living in our most deprived communities. This is one way in which the NHS can contribute both to improving health in general and, more importantly, tackle Scotland's health inequalities.'
While it will be up to the NHS boards concerned to determine the pilot projects, they will be required to provide plans to the executive for carrying out the pilot studies before the funding is released. The pilot studies will be evaluated and monitored.
Some examples of unmet need include:
* Access by people with chronic heart disease (CHD) living in deprived areas to a range of services - coronary artery by-pass grafts, angioplasties and prescribing of statins, is less than would be expected in deprived areas given the high known rates of CHD in these areas;
* Attendance rates at breast screening clinics is much higher in women from relatively affluent areas compared with women from the most deprived areas;
* Uptake rates of the winter flu vaccination scheme is much higher in people from relatively affluent areas.


Police blitz nails 63 speeders
Three also charged with not wearing a seatbelts
Monday August 28, 2006
St. Thomas police, Elgin OPP, Aylmer police, Strathroy-Caradoc police, Stratford police, Oxford Community Police and London police all cooperated on traffic enforcement Wednesday.
As part of the Four Counties Policing Cooperative Traffic Enforcement Initiative, police concentrated on enforcing aggressive driving, high collision intersections, complaint zones and other issues.
A total of 63 speeding charges were laid. Other tickets included five for failing to stop at a sign, four for not having an insurance card, three for not wearing seatbelts, three for not having a license, one for not wearing a motorcycle helmet, one for altering a validation document, one for driving without insurance, and one each for driving with an improper drivers license and using a plate not authorized for a vehicle.


Before the Iowa caucus kicked off the political year, Trump supporters figured that Trump would do better than his polls indicated because a lot of people probably would think it imprudent to publicly admit to a stranger that you are intending to do something so widely deplored. But then Trump underperformed in the semi-public Iowa caucuses and the conventional wisdom soon solidified that Trump does no better than his polls.
Audacious Epigone, however, points out that the conventional wisdom wound up being wrong: Trump out-performed his polls by 2.6 points on average (that’s about 6% or 7%). He outperformed the polls in 26 out of 36 states.
Over the last 15 states, Trump beat his polls in 14 of them, for an average of 5.4 points better than the polls predicted. Trump’s biggest over-performance came in the last primary, Indiana.
So, 2.6 points or even 5.4 points probably aren’t enough to close the current gap with Hillary, but it suggests that the future is unwritten.

This article aims to give you a brief introduction to some poetic terms with which you can bemuse your friends and nonplus your enemies. Try and sling some of these terms into a casual conversation and watch the ensuing confusion.
If you don't want to confuse people, you could use these terms to discuss poetry like a badass
while smoking unfiltered cigarettes in a French cafe, when critiquing, or to give your own poetry a bit of a vajazzle.
These terms are arranged vaguely into alphabetical order for your convenience. Some of them will be covered in more detail in other articles throughout the week.

Anesthesia & Analgesia: March 9, 2016
AUTHORS: Monahan, Amanda M. MD et al
BACKGROUND: Multiple studies have demonstrated that, for single-injection popliteal sciatic nerve blocks, block characteristics are dependent upon local anesthetic injection relative to the sciatic nerve bifurcation. In contrast, this relation remains unexamined for continuous popliteal sciatic nerve blocks. We, therefore, tested the hypothesis that postoperative analgesia is improved with the perineural catheter tip at the level of the bifurcation compared with 5 cm proximal to the bifurcation.
METHODS: Preoperatively, subjects having moderately painful foot or ankle surgery were randomly assigned to receive an ultrasound-guided subepimyseal perineural catheter inserted either at or 5 cm proximal to the sciatic nerve bifurcation. Subjects received a single injection of mepivacaine 1.5% either via the insertion needle preoperatively or the perineural catheter postoperatively, followed by an infusion of ropivacaine 0.2% (6 mL/h basal, 4 mL bolus, and 30-min lockout) for the study duration. The primary end point was the average pain measured on a numeric rating scale (0-10) in the 3 hours before a data collection telephone call the morning after surgery.
RESULTS: The average numeric rating scale of subjects with a catheter inserted at the sciatic nerve bifurcation (n = 64) was a median (10th, 25th to 75th, and 90th quartiles) of 3.0 (0.0, 2.4-5.0, and 7.0) vs 2.0 (0.0, 1.0-4.0, and 5.0) for subjects with a catheter inserted proximal to the bifurcation (n = 64; P = 0.008). Similarly, maximum pain scores were greater in the group at the bifurcation: 6.0 (3.0, 4.4-8.0, and 9.0) vs 5.0 (0.0, 3.0-8.0, and 10.0) (P = 0.019). Differences between the groups for catheter insertion time, opioid rescue dose, degree of numbness in the foot/toes, catheter dislodgement, and fluid leakage did not reach statistical significance.
CONCLUSIONS: For continuous popliteal sciatic nerve blocks, a catheter inserted 5 cm proximal to the sciatic nerve bifurcation provides superior postoperative analgesia in subjects having moderately painful foot or ankle surgery compared with catheters located at the bifurcation. This is in marked contrast with single-injection popliteal sciatic nerve blocks for which benefits are afforded to local anesthetic injection distal, rather than proximal, to the bifurcation.

Tichy in Vienna
If I want to be honest to you, I would say that the 10th district is the only district in Vienna that I don’t like to visit. But when the discussion comes to “where do we find the best Eismarillen knödel in the city” we take the metro and we get off at the last station “Reumanplatz” in the 10th district. There you will find Tichy.
The ice cream shop is “hilarious”. A little bit old, the waitresses wear pink uniforms and they run here and there to serve the customers. It is crowded especially when the weather is sunny, and the Eismarillen Knödel works its way into my heart!
The waitress asks me in German: How many of them would you like to have?
The answer is three. Three Eismarillen Knödel a day, keep the doctor away!

Romantic Photos of Venice Cloaked in Darkness
You would have seen Venice, the famous water city of Italy, in photographs shot in the light of the day but probably not the Dark Venice. These romantic photographs filled with the eerie shadows of Venice are shot by a Canadian Photographer, Alessandro Cancian showing Venice via a different lens. The photographer succeeds to compile the beauty of Venice in hermetic style, even in dark.
The somber feel and looks of the City of Water under the shadows of evening and night compels the viewer to drown deep down and feel the enchantment of what Cancian calls, “a layer of ‘Angels & Demons’ over the City of water. [via mymodernmet] You can follow the artist here and here’s a bonus image for you:


She recently had her say via a clip on social media, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to her, ladies must learn to be naughty, dirty and b*tchy during s*x because it keeps them in their partner’s memory after the pleasure exercise.

RICHMOND, Va. (WAVY) — The final phases of two major local transportation projects got funding from VDOT on Monday.
A I-64 widening project in York County, which just completed its first of three scheduled phases ‘on budget, on time,’ received $178.3 million to add an additional lane in each direction from roughly 1 mile west of the Lightfoot Exit to 1 mile west of Humelsine Parkway/Marquis Center Parkway exit in York County, about 8.2 miles long. Shirley Contracting Company of Lorton, Va. was awarded the contract.
Work on the second phase of the project, which runs from 0.54 miles east of Route 238 (Yorktown Road) near exit 247 to the Humelsine Parkway/Marquis Center Parkway exit, is currently underway. Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layne said in October that the project is ahead of schedule because of work the Virginia Department of Transportation did before crews broke ground.
The project includes the addition of a 12-foot-wide travel lane and a 12-foot-wide paved shoulder in each direction, lengthening of acceleration and deceleration lanes, bridge work that includes replacing existing bridges over Queens Creek and more improvements.
VDOT says the widening of roadway and bridges will occur mostly in the median of the existing interstate.
In addition to the work on the Peninsula, $105.4 million will go towards the second of two phases for the 1-64/I-264 interchange. The second phase, which will be contracted to The Lane Construction Corporation of Cheshire, Conn., is set to improve traffic conditions and safety on I-264 east from Newtown Road in Norfolk to Witchduck Road in Virginia Beach.
VDOT says Lane will build a new collector-distributor road and reconfigure the south side of the interchanges at Newtown and Witchduck roads, in an attempt to cut down the weaving that drivers heading eastbound run into at both interchanges when they exit and exit the interstate.
A bridge is also scheduled to be built over I-264 connecting Greenwich Road on the south side to Cleveland Street to the north.
Both projects are scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2021.


Musical Fun and Jokes
Some people imagine that classical music is always serious, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! Lots of composers have sneaked jokes and fun into their music, from famous historical composers like Joseph Haydn, all the way up to composers who are writing today!
The “Joke” Quartet, Op. 33 no. 2, by Joseph Haydn
Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was a composer, pianist and conductor. He worked for a Hungarian prince who had his own orchestra on staff (sounds wild, but how else was the prince supposed to listen to music without ICAN?) Haydn’s orchestra members loved him so much that they called him “Papa Haydn.”
Haydn loved musical jokes: he wrote a symphony with random blasts of sound called the “Surprise” Symphony, and a string quartet which is called the “Joke” Quartet because …. well, you wouldn’t want me to spoil the punchline, now would you? You’ll have to listen for yourself…make sure to pay attention to the ending!
Here’s a question for you: if Haydn’s orchestra called him “Papa Haydn,” and he wrote a “Joke” Quartet, does that make the quartet a “Dad joke?”
The “Musical Joke,” K. 522, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
One of Joseph Haydn’s good friends was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). Mozart was a jokester too, who liked to poke fun at his musical buddies with off-the-wall jokes. For example, whenever his friend Franz Xaver Süssmayr would get confused while working with Mozart, Mozart told him, “There you stand like a duck in a thunderstorm!” He said it more than once, too.
One of Mozart’s funniest pieces is his Musical Joke, K. 522. The original title in German is Ein musikalischer Spaß, which could also be translated as “Some Musical Fun.” The piece has a goofy tone throughout: Mozart wrote the music to make it sound like the musicians are very confused. Wait for the end to hear it really go off the rails!
“Rage Over a Lost Penny,” Op. 129, by Ludwig van Beethoven
Have you ever gotten frustrated about something silly, then laughed at yourself afterward for it? Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) put that feeling into music in a piano piece called Rage Over a Lost Penny, Op. 129. Beethoven’s apartment was usually a huge mess, so I imagine that if he dropped a coin, he’d have a pretty hard time finding it, and he might even have the type of goofy tantrum you can hear in this piano piece, as he rushed around to search every corner of his living room!
Scherzo: Music-Speak for “Joke”
Did you know that there’s a musical term that means “joke?” Since the Renaissance, composers and poets have used the German word Scherz and the Italian word Scherzo to mean light, fun works of art. Both Scherz and scherzo translate as “joke!”
Scherzos have been a popular ingredient in symphonies ever since Beethoven started using them. In Beethoven’s time, a symphony was supposed to include a stately, old-fashioned dance called a minuet, but Beethoven kept putting in a section of fast, wild music instead. When he did that, he called that section, or movement, a scherzo!
Scherzo in d minor, Op. 10, by Clara Schumann
Thanks to Beethoven, scherzos have been popular among classical composers for a couple hundred years! Sometimes scherzos are pure humor, sometimes they’re written in a light and fun style, and sometimes they’re more of an excuse to for performers to show off without having to be too serious.
Clara Schumann (1819-1896) composed this piano scherzo in 1838, when she was about 19 years old. It has a lot of unexpected changes in texture and sudden shifts between loud and soft. You never know what to expect with this scherzo!
The Scherzo from Florence Price’s Symphony No. 4
This scherzo comes from the Fourth Symphony by American composer Florence Price (1887-1953). Like Clara Schumann’s scherzo, this one has a lot of surprising twists and turns. It takes inspiration from Beethoven’s fast and wild scherzos for orchestra. No stodgy minuets here, thank you very much!
“Humor” from the Afro-American Symphony by William Grant Still
In 1930, William Grant Still (1895-1978) wrote a symphony called The Afro-American Symphony. Each movement in his symphony is named after a mood. In place of a scherzo, he wrote a movement called “Humor”! By using an English word instead of an Italian one, Still made sure we’d expect some really fun music!
John Williams’s “Scherzo for X-Wings”
The scherzo is still going strong in music today! One recent scherzo was written by John Williams (b. 1932) for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This piece is called Scherzo for X-Wings!

In all actuality it was almost pure luck that Russia did survive the war. If Hitler had not split his massive Barbarossa force to attack South, Moscow would have surely fallen. I think the best way to make the game a little more fair is have it start in 1940 or 39 like the new AAE40 will do. Starting at the beginning of 41 like AAE does highlights the ineptitude that Stalin had by not strengthening his front lines and purging his army in the 30’s by killing I believe 70% of his officers. If we are given control in 1939 the German force would be smaller than the Soviets (had the largest army in the world: equaled all other armies tanks put together and had more planes than all others combined), but the Germans have a stronger economy. So the Russian player is given time to move his forces (albeit outclassed forces) into position for a massive offensive by Germany. We could right Stalin’s mistakes and Hitler’s as well (he attacked Yugoslavia right before Barbarossa, killing 6 precious weeks of good weather that would be needed for the Russian offensive). But at the current state the game is pretty accurate, if there is a determined German player and a non-cohesive allied force then Germany will win 90% of the time. But if the allies work together (UK helping out Russia while the US does its thing to invade Europe) then the game swings to a very balanced game where dice rolls and a little luck is what usually wins the day, or a little mistake by either side, which is how the game should be IMO.
When there are enemy ships in the sea zone adjacent to my industrial complex, can I build new sea units?
I was playing A&A Europe (for the first time) and I placed three German Subs in the sea zone on the east coast of the US. The US player said he couldn’t make any new naval units while my subs were there. (Which I was fine with) To add to his dilemma he couldn’t use air power to attack my subs without a destroyer present (as stated in the rules). This eliminated the possibility of a US navy.
Were we doing anything wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help!
you can place new sea units there, if germany doesnt move its navy to another seazone next turn, combat will take place.
Thank you for the clarification!

Queens Residents Rally For Willets Point Redevelopment
04/24/2008 07:52 PM
A Queens community rallied in support of the Willets Point redevelopment plan at City Hall Thursday, just days after city council members said it will be shot down.
Copyright © 2008 NY1 News
Advocates said they will continue to push the plan to transform the iron triangle of auto body shops into a mixed-use area. They said the plan would create affordable housing, schools, retail hotels and possibly a convention center.
"It's going to turn a place that is really been deserted practically, except for very crude kind of business enterprises, automobile-related and such,” said Queens Borough President Helen Marshall. “And we are going to turn in into a livable, wonderful community where people live."
Earlier this week, a majority of City Council members told the mayor they would block the Willets Point development plan because they said there is no guarantee jobs would be available for displaced workers.

Guan Eng Black river in Batu Ferringhi
The Penang government has advised the public against swimming in the part of the sea that is fed by Sungai Batu Ferringhi, which is polluted by human waste discharged from an Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) plant.
Authorities suspect that the blackish water in the river contains the E. Coli bacteria and the Chemistry Department is conducting tests to confirm this.
E.Coli, which is found in the gut of warm-blooded animals, is an indicator of fecal contamination.
Senior state executive councillor Chow Kon Yeow said the Department of Environment had carried out checks and confirmed that the IWK plant had been discharging untreated human waste into Sungai Batu Ferringhi.
Chow has ordered IWK to stop the discharge immediately, but he told reporters the plant could not be shut down because it is the only facility treating sewage from homes and hotels in the area,
However, IWK spokesman Shahrul Nizam Sulaiman has absolved his company of any fault, saying its sewage treatment operations had always complied with the regulations of the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry.
“We are not doing anything wrong,” he said. “IWK and its team of experts are keen to work with other parties, even though we are not at fault.”
Meeanwhile, former Batu Kawan MP Huan Cheng Guan said it was not enough for the state government to send out an advisory through the press.
He said the authorities had yet to put up warning notices around the area or assigned guards to bar the public from the beach.
“Such a lackadaisical attitude clearly shows their misplaced priorities and lack of concern for the wellbeing of Penangites and visitors,” said Huan, a frequent critic of the state government.

Star Wars is one of the most popular movie franchises in the world, with a passionate and dedicated fanbase. But even the most hardcore fans might not know all of these interesting facts about the series.
1. The opening crawl in the original Star Wars movie was actually created by accident. Director George Lucas originally wanted the text to scroll up the screen like a news bulletin, but the projector wasn’t powerful enough to make it look clear. So he had to come up with a different solution, and the opening crawl was born.
2. The actor who played Yoda, Frank Oz, was also the voice of Miss Piggy on The Muppet Show.
3. Yoda’s species, the Jedi, are actually based on Samurai warriors.
4. In the original script for A New Hope, Luke was going to be called Luke Starkiller.
5. Darth Vader’s iconic breathing was created by accident. The sound designer was trying to create the sound of a hydraulic machine, and he happened to breathe into the microphone at the same time. The rest is history.
6. The Emperor was originally going to be played by a black actor, but the racist backlash from fans convinced Lucas to recast the role with a white actor.
7. The Ewoks were initially created because the producers were worried that the movie would be too dark and serious, and they wanted to add some comic relief.
8. The scene where Luke removes his father’s helmet was actually shot in reverse because Mark Hamill couldn’t stop laughing.
9. The Death Star was partially inspired by the Nazi’s use of concentration camps in World War II.
10. The first Star Wars movie was almost cancelled after the studio decided that it was too expensive and risky. But a savvy marketing campaign saved it, and the movie went on to become a huge success.

7. The mythology is very rich
The mythology of Star Wars is very rich, and it’s constantly expanding. There are many different creatures, planets, and characters in the Star Wars universe, and each one has its own story.
8. Star Wars is more than just a movie series
Star Wars is more than just a movie series. It’s a cultural phenomenon that has spawned a community of fans who are passionate about all things Star Wars.
Who is the least known character in Star Wars?
There are many well-known characters in the Star Wars franchise, but who is the least known character? This is a question that has sparked much debate among fans of the series. Some believe that the answer is a character who has only appeared in one movie, while others argue that there is a character who has been largely overlooked by fans.
Some believe that the least known character in Star Wars is Ponda Baba, who was first introduced in the movie A New Hope. Ponda Baba is a walrus-like creature who was part of the group of pirates that attacked Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi on the planet Tatooine. Baba was killed by Obi-Wan during the fight, and he has only appeared in one movie to date.
Others believe that the least known character in Star Wars is Gar Saxon, who is the Governor of the Mandalore system and a member of the Mandalorian Death Watch. Saxon was first introduced in the animated series Star Wars: Rebels, and he has not appeared in any of the live-action movies to date.
However, there is a character who is arguably the least known character in Star Wars, and that is the character of Snoke. Snoke is a mysterious figure who first appeared in the movie The Force Awakens. Very little is known about him, including his real name or his background. He is the leader of the First Order, and he has only appeared in one movie to date.
Who was the oldest Jedi ever?
The oldest Jedi ever was a Jedi Master named Yoda. He was over 900 years old when he died. Yoda was born in the year 900 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). He was a very powerful Jedi, and he was known for his wisdom and skills in the Force. He was also a great teacher, and he trained many young Jedi to become powerful warriors. Yoda was a member of the Jedi Council, and he served as a mentor to many Jedi Knights. He was one of the most respected Jedi Masters in the galaxy.
In the year Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Yoda fought against the evil Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Yoda was able to defeat Sidious, but he was injured in the battle. He was able to escape to the planet Dagobah, where he hid from the Sith. Yoda lived on Dagobah for many years, until he was killed by Darth Vader (the former Anakin Skywalker).
Even though Yoda was the oldest Jedi ever, he was still a very powerful warrior. He was a master of the Force, and he was able to defeat many powerful Sith Lords. He was a true Jedi Master, and he will always be remembered as one of the greatest Jedi of all time.
What is Star Wars most famous line?
The opening crawl of the original Star Wars movie famously begins with the words “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….” What is less well-known is that those words are not actually spoken in the movie. They are the first line of the movie’s screenplay, which was written by George Lucas.
The most famous line from the Star Wars movies is actually “May the Force be with you.” This line is spoken by Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars movie. It is a phrase that is often used by Star Wars fans to wish one another good luck.
What species is Yoda?
What species is Yoda? This question has puzzled Star Wars fans for years. Yoda is a Jedi Master, and his species has never been officially identified. However, there are some theories about what species he might be.
One theory is that Yoda is a member of the same species as the Ewoks from Return of the Jedi. This theory is based on the fact that Yoda and the Ewoks both have fur, long ears, and a protruding snout. However, there is no evidence to support this theory.
Another theory is that Yoda is a member of the same species as the Yoda cat. This theory is based on the fact that Yoda cats have a similar appearance to Yoda. However, there is no evidence to support this theory either.
So what species is Yoda? We may never know for sure. However, there is no evidence to support any of the theories about his species. He could be any number of different species.
Did Yoda play a monkey?
There is some debate over whether or not Jedi Master Yoda ever actually played a monkey in a movie. Some say that there is no evidence to support this claim, while others insist that there is proof that the little green Jedi did in fact take on this role.
Let’s take a look at the evidence for and against Yoda playing a monkey. The first piece of evidence for this claim is a scene from Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. In this scene, Yoda is sitting on a rock, and behind him you can see what appears to be a monkey. This has led some to believe that Yoda did in fact play a monkey in a movie.
However, some argue that this could just be a coincidence, and that there is no real proof that Yoda actually played a monkey. After all, it’s not uncommon for there to be monkeys in the background of scenes set in the jungle.
Another piece of evidence for Yoda playing a monkey is a quote from the actor who played Yoda, Frank Oz. In a interview, Oz was asked if he had ever played a monkey, to which he replied “Yes, in an old movie of mine, I was a monkey.” However, it’s not clear if he was actually referring to the scene from The Empire Strikes Back.
So, what do you think? Did Yoda play a monkey in a movie? There is definitely evidence to suggest that he did, but it’s up to you to decide whether or not you believe it.
Who is the most forgotten Star Wars character?
There are a lot of iconic characters in the Star Wars series. But there are also a lot of minor characters who are easily forgotten. One such character is Dexter Jettster, a Besalisk who owns a diner on Coruscant.
Jettster first appeared in Attack of the Clones, and he played a small but important role in the film. He was one of the few people who could identify the assassin, Darth Maul, and he helped Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker track him down.
Jettster also appeared in the TV series The Clone Wars. In one episode, he helped the Jedi rescue R2-D2 from a Separatist factory.
Despite his importance in the films and TV series, Jettster is often forgotten by fans. He’s not as well-known as characters like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, and he doesn’t have his own action figure.
Nevertheless, Jettster is an interesting character who deserves more recognition. He’s a tough guy who’s not afraid to stand up to the bad guys, and he’s got a sharp sense of humor. He’s also a loyal friend, and he’s always willing to help out those in need.
So, who is the most forgotten Star Wars character? It’s definitely Dexter Jettster. He may not be as well-known as some of the other characters, but he’s still an important part of the Star Wars universe.

THE SIGHT OF TIME: FILMS AND VIDEOS BY ROBERT CAHEN by Sandra Lischi
Edizioni ETS, 1997 First edition, 141pp., 5 1/2" X 8 3/4"
Robert Cahen is one of the world's leading artists in the sphere of electronic arts. In 1971, after studying music, he began to produce a major body of work including films, videos and installations that combined experimentation in sound, visual arts, photography and dance. A true pioneer, Cahen forged new ways of depicting landscape, cityscape and theatrical performance while reinvigorating genres like the travel diary and strait forward documentary. This monograph - the first ever to be devoted to Cahen - traces the extraordinary trajectory of his research. The author stresses the fertile encounter of new technology and creative sensibility as well as raising theoretical issues related to independent film and video art.


WPCNR WHEELS AND RAILS. Statement from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. March 30, 2021:
“This morning we received word from the Biden Administration that the U.S. Department of Transportation will allow New York State to proceed with the federally required Environmental Assessment and public outreach for the nation’s first congestion pricing program in New York City.
“Congestion pricing is an internationally proven method to reduce traffic congestion, enhance the availability and reliability of public transportation, and improve our air quality, and it will play a critical role as New York and the nation begin to recover from the pandemic and build back stronger and better than before. This advancement is also another step forward in generating the $15 billion the state needs to fund the MTA’s five-year $51.5 billion capital plan, which will transform the accessibility, reliability and convenience of the system for users of all ages and abilities.
“We thank President Biden and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg for advancing this important program, and we look forward to continuing to work together to further advance our nation-leading $306 billion infrastructure plan, which is preparing the State to be globally competitive for generations to come. This announcement, which comes on the heels of yesterday’s news that the Biden Administration has approved a plan to deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind nationwide by 2030, demonstrates once again the commitment of our new partners in Washington to support our efforts to move New York in the right direction.


Osprey's examination of the A-1 Skyraider Units' participation in the Vietnam War (1955-1975). Designed and built as a carrier-based attack aircraft in 1944, the A-1 reached frontline units too late to see combat in World War II (1939-1945). With the advent of jets in the late 1940s, the Skyraider was seen as a dated throwback to the golden age of piston-engined naval aviation. Despite its days seemingly numbered, the A-1 proved to be a huge success in the Korean War. Remaining in production through to 1957, some 3,180 Skyraiders had been built by the time the last one left the Douglas plant.
Nicknamed the ''flying dump truck'', the A-1 remained a key component in naval air wings into the 1960s, allowing the aircraft to play its part in the escalating conflict in Vietnam. Both A-1 attack and EA-1F airborne early warning aircraft saw action in Southeast Asia from 1960 through to 1969, when the last examples were finally retired from carrier decks. The A-1s in particular bombed targets in both North and South Vietnam, despite the aircraft being highly vulnerable to enemy flak and fighters. Co-written by a two-tour Vietnam War combat veteran in the A-1, this is the first book that focuses exclusively on the aircraft's service in Vietnam, providing a must-have volume for Vietnam aviation enthusiasts.

Sat 1/4 @ 9PM
Cleveland’s Tufted Puffins features some of the area’s veteran punk rockers. Vocalist/guitarist Mike Baker is famous (infamous?) for stints with bands like Hucklebuck and Sleazy Jesus & the Splatter Pigs, as well as being the driving force behind the legendary 1990s Battle of the Worst Bands. Bassist Ken Brown also played with Sleazy Jesus but survived to now run a recording stud and play in theater orchestras. Guitarist Tom Huff has played with Burning Lesbians, Roscoe Disposal Co., Dave Cintron and Scott Pickering — but then, what local underground musician hasn’t played with Scott Pickering? And drummer Markymoon also played with Roscoe Disposal Co., as well as Zen Luv Assasssins, Professional Againsters and many more.
They’ll be playing at the Beachland Tavern with Cleveland garage-rock quartet 45 Spider and a pair of Columbus bands: Betty Machete & the Angry Cougars, and punk band Methmatics, whose sound harks back to the classic 70s punk bands.
Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door.
