Cigar History, Facts & Figures
The history of cigars is a fascinating subject that is filled with interesting cigar trivia, figures, and anecdotes. For example, did you know that during the 19th century, cigars were often used as currency in Cuba? This was due to the high demand for Cuban cigars in other parts of the world, which made them a valuable commodity. Another interesting fact is that the term “cigar” comes from the Spanish word “cigarro,” which was used to describe the rolled tobacco products brought back to Europe from the New World.
In addition to trivia and figures, the history of cigars is also filled with fascinating anecdotes. For example, it is said that Mark Twain once wrote, “If smoking is not allowed in heaven, I shall not go.” This quote is a testament to many people’s love for cigars and the pleasure they bring. Another interesting anecdote is that during the 20th century, cigars were often associated with Hollywood glamour and were a favorite of many movie stars. Today, cigars continue to be enjoyed by people from all walks of life, and the history of cigars remains an important part of our cultural heritage.

Positive messages about climate action, emphasizing health and the environment, and highlighting global and immediate effects increase support for climate policies across multiple countries, according to a new study. The findings also suggest key communications strategies to reach people who are not already concerned about climate change.
Researchers are increasingly interested in how different ways of framing climate change messages affect public support for climate policies. But most studies so far have been conducted in high-income Western countries. Studies have also addressed individual message frames separately, but have not evaluated the effect of multiple frames at the same time.
In the new study, researchers set out to address both of those shortcomings. They administered an online survey to 7,500 people, about 1,500 in each of 5 countries: China, Germany, India, the UK and the US. The researchers chose those countries because they are responsible for large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, but vary in terms of socioeconomic development, political system, culture, and so on.
Participants read pairs of climate-related messages and were asked to choose which one would make them more likely to support policies to address climate change. The messages varied in four characteristics—whether they emphasized the positive (opportunities of climate action) or negative (threats of climate change); whether they highlighted health, environmental, economic, or migration themes; whether they focused on impacts at the individual, community, national, or global level; and whether they highlighted impacts now, in 2030, or in 2050—for a total of 96 messages in all. Each participant reviewed 5 pairs of randomly chosen messages.
The analysis reveals some variation across countries in how people respond to climate change messages, but also some relatively consistent findings. In China, the UK, and the US, positive messages increase support for climate policies and negative messages decrease support, the researchers report in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.
In India the valence of the message has no effect on climate policy support, while in Germany it’s negative messages that are more likely to increase support for climate action—perhaps because those messages are consistent with the way politicians and the media have historically talked about climate change in that country.
Messages that touch on environmental themes are more likely to increase support for climate policies in all five countries, and those emphasizing health in all countries except Germany. The results support a growing trend to emphasize public health in framing climate change messages, the researchers say.
Economic themes don’t affect support for climate policy in any of the countries, and messages about migration reduce support. In all countries except the US, emphasizing the global scale increases the likelihood of support for climate policies. And in all countries except China, highlighting present-day rather than longer-term effects increases support.
The researchers found few differences in the effectiveness of the frames across age, gender, education, or income groupings. Instead, “Our results show that the most important differences are those between those that believe climate change is a global threat and those that do not,” they write.
Among people who are not already concerned about climate change, “positive and health frames increase the likelihood of support for climate policies, indicating the relevance of these frames for shifting policy preferences for different audience groups,” the researchers say.
In the US, which has the highest percentage of study participants who are not concerned about climate change, environmental themes decrease support for climate policies and economic themes increase support—in contrast to the overall findings.
The results also hint at the possibility that certain combinations of frames may be especially effective in building support for climate change—an idea that should be explored in future studies, the researchers say.

Koh Tarutao National Marine Park is located off the west coast of Thailand. It consists of 51 islands and it is one of the richest marine reserves in the country. The islands are reached from Pak Bara pier on the mainland, where boats leave at 10:30 or 15:00 daily. The cost is 100 Baht, or about 3US$. Pak Bara pier can be reached from the town of Satun, in the extreme south-west of Thailand. The island group is close to the Malaysian border and, in fact, can sometimes be seen from Malaysia.
The islands that have boat service and camping facilities are Koh Tarutao, Koh Adang and Koh Lipe. There are opportunities for sea kayaking, snorkeling and scuba diving around all of the islands, but most services are organized from the mainland. There are also many well marked hiking trails on the main islands, not to mention beautiful, white sandy beaches. The best times to visit the islands are during the dry season from November to May as access might be limited and dangerous during the monsoons.
Koh Tarutao, the main island in this group, like Koh Tao on the east coast, was once a prison island for political prisoners and high security inmates. Remains of the jail buildings can still be seen. On April 20, 1974, the island group was proclaimed a national park. Later UNESCO proclaimed Tarutao National Park as an ASEAN Heritage Site.
One of the greatest features of Koh Tarutao Marine Park is the complete lack of development that has overtaken many of the other islands in Thailand. The accommodation is basic and most visitors camp. On Koh Tarutao, there is only one restaurant, the park run canteen and the electrical generators are only run for 4 hours a day, from 6pm-10pm. This renders the place empty of party animals and it is lovely to be able to stare at the stars in a light free and quiet environment.
I had the chance to visit the main island of this marine park, Koh Tarutao at the end of 1999. I reached the island only hours after crossing the border from Malaysia and it was my first island experience. This means that I didn’t fully appreciate the isolation and seclusion of this island paradise until a couple years later when I had experienced the more crowded islands of Koh Tao, Koh Chang and Koh Samui. There is something to be said about sharing a 3 km long pristine beach with only a dozen other people.

Many people know Michael Phelps as the world’s most decorated Olympian. This world class athlete has won a total of 28 medals, making him a champion. While Phelps is one of the greatest Olympians in all of history; this amazing swimming champion has just accomplished another amazing feat. He had a second child with his wife Nicole. He is now the proud father of two.
Huffington Post featured the story about Phelps and Nicole’s birth in February of this year. Their newborn child came during the Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang, South Korea. Remember that Phelps married Nicole Johnson a former Miss California. The couple had their first child in May of 2016. The elder sibling was named Boomer Robert Phelps. Beckett Richard Phelps is the name of their youngest son. He was born on February 12.
Phelps is really grateful for his family. Beckett’s addition to his newly emerging family is something that leaves him totally awed. In a tweet to the world about the birth of his second child, Phelps could only tell the world how happy he was to have a growing family. He even said that his household now has 6 members. Michael, Nicole, Boomer, Beckett and their two dogs make up the Phelps household.
Michael Phelps is currently doing his own thing. He still endorses products, works as an assistant swimming coach for the Arizona Sun Devils and he is also trying to establish his own swimming gear line. Phelps is a man who has truly been blessed with a good wife, a wonderful family, and a second child to enjoy his amazing life.

Nearly 1,400 Kaiser mental health workers in Northern California will walk off their jobs Nov. 16 to protest what union officials say are too few mental health care employees to meet patient demand.
The workers — psychologists, social workers and therapists — criticize Kaiser’s management, which they say understaffs mental health services, leaving patients waiting far too long for appointments. They also accuse Kaiser of retaliating against them for standing up for their patients, by terminating employment or withholding compensation.
“The problem is simple and so is the solution,” said Sal Rosselli, president of the National Union of Healthcare Workers, in a statement. “Kaiser needs to hire enough clinicians to provide timely, appropriate care to the ever-growing number of Kaiser members seeking help and end its retaliation against the caregivers who are courageously standing up for their patients.”
Kaiser says the strike is more about the workers’ pay than patient care. Spokesman Jessie Mangaliman said the union has asked for a 19 percent increase in wages over a three-year period in addition to more than $15,000 in bonuses. “We believe this is excessive,” he said.
He called the workers’ complaints “false accusations” and said Kaiser has had 60 bargaining sessions with the workers, but were unable to meet their needs.
The strike was announced Wednesday after Kaiser offered what it called its “last, best and final” offer in negotiations for a new contract. The offer, Rosselli said, was unacceptable. The strike will end only when the workers’ demands are met, he said. It will affect nearly 80 Kaiser facilities from Fresno to Santa Rosa, including Bay Area Kaiser facilities.
Mangaliman said Kaiser’s mental health care services will remain open throughout the strike, with care provided by physicians and clinical managers, as well as by contracted mental health professionals in the community.
Kaiser officials said they don’t see how a strike of its mental health workers would resolve any alleged shortage in staffing.
But Clement Papazian, an Oakland psychiatric social worker who represents the local chapter of his union, said Kaiser has left the mental health workers no choice but to strike.
Papazian, a 27-year Kaiser employee, said there are documented cases of Kaiser mental health patients committing suicide waiting for appointments.
“If there was any other way to get this employer’s attention and their reliable and active responsiveness to fix the problem, then we would not be going out on strike,” he said.
Some patients have waited up to eight weeks or longer, Papazian said.
Five class-action lawsuits are pending against Kaiser for related issues, Papazian said. Kaiser has paid millions of dollars to the state for violations with its mental health services.
Earlier this year, state regulators said Kaiser had made improvements to its mental health services, but still had problems with access to appointments and information about the coverage provided. Kaiser had shortened the wait for patients to be seen for the first time, but still lagged when it came to follow-up therapy visits, the state Department of Managed Health Care said in its report.
The strike Nov. 16 would be the second this year and fourth since contract negotiations began.
“Bottom line is we really want Kaiser to improve their patient care in mental health,” Papazian said. “And we want a fair and equitable agreement for mental health workers.”

Which animal does not sweat?
Coldblooded animals rely on the external environment to regulate their body temperature, so they do not have sweat glands. Reptiles, amphibians and fish lack sweat glands. Not all mammals rely exclusively on sweat glands to cool them down.
Do all animals sweat?
As it turns out, Only animals who are mammals have sweat glands. You’ve probably noticed that you don’t see cats and dogs sweating like humans. Although cats and dogs are mammals like us, most mammals don’t have large numbers of sweat glands like humans do.
Why do pigs not sweat?
ALTHOUGH the pig has well-developed structures in the skin which conform morphologically with apocrine sweat glands, the animal does not appear to sweat.
Which animals can sweat?
But besides humans, are there other living creatures that also sweat? Yes – Horses, monkeys, apes, and hippos Sweat. Dogs and cats do sweat a little through their paws, but we will read later what they do to truly cool off. Some of the most unusual sweat in the world comes from horses and hippos.
Do all mammals have sweat?
Eccrine sweat glands—millions of which produce our salty, cooling perspiration—are actually found in all mammals. But in most other animals, the fluid from eccrine glands is not used to cool down, but to provide grip.
Do dolphins sweat?
Osmoregulation in the Marine Environment
Dolphins do not sweat And thus they do not loose salt across the skin. Unlike sea birds, dolphins lack specialized glands to excrete salts.
Do tigers sweat?
Thermoregulation can be a challenge for these big cats. They don’t sweat the way we do, so they pant to get rid of excess heat. Many will lie spread-eagled on their backs, to expose the stomach – where they have the least fur – to the air.
Do cows sweat?
Compared to other animals cattle cannot dissipate their heat load very effectively. Cattle do not sweat effectively And rely on respiration to cool themselves.
Can a fish sweat?
Sweating is a process designed to help organisms cool down. On land, sweat on the skin evaporates and takes heat away from the body, making you feel cooler. In the sea, water can’t evaporate off the fish because they are already in water! So No, fish don’t sweat.
Do horses sweat?
Horses, like people, need to sweat for thermoregulation (cooling) during periods of hot weather, high humidity, and intense exercise. Heat production can increase by more than fiftyfold during strenuous work. Evaporation of sweat dissipates as much as 65 percent of the heat produced during muscular activity.
Do lions sweat?
They spend between 16 and 20 hours each day resting and sleeping. They have few sweat glands So they wisely tend to conserve their energy by resting during the day and become more active at night when it is cooler. Lions have terrific night vision.
Do elephants sweat?
Elephants have very few sweat glands. The few sweat glands that an elephant has are located on the foot, near the cuticles. This results in a skin that is dry to the touch but soft and supple. If you look at an elephant on a hot day, you may see a wet area around the top of their toenails.
Do spiders sweat?
No matter what the reason may be, it is important that spiders build their webs to be both strong and sticky for catching invaders and food. To do this, spiders make their own silk. Inside of their body, Female spiders have special glands (think of sweat glands!) that produce silk.
Do pigs actually sweat?
Pigs have only a limited number of functioning sweat glands so They only sweat a small amount, and what little sweat they do produce doesn’t much affect their body temperature.
Can birds sweat?
Because Birds don’t have sweat glands. Instead, they’ve evolved a variety of other ways to keep cool. One of them is panting. As the bird breathes rapidly, its throat quivering, heat’s carried out of its body via the lungs and air sacs.
Do turtles sweat?
Unlike birds and mammals, reptiles do not maintain a constant internal body temperature. Without fur or feathers for insulation, they cannot stay warm on a cold day, and Without sweat glands or the ability to pant, they cannot cool off on a hot one.
Do dolphins pee?
Dolphins urinate in the water in which they swim, making it difficult to measure their urine output.
Do dolphins smell?
Dolphins have no sense of smell
Dolphins have olfactory tracts, but lack olfactory nerves. In case you’re wondering, “if dolphins can’t smell, do they have a sense of taste?” Yes, but they can only taste salt.
Can dolphins taste?
Most vertebrates enjoy the same five tastes as humans do: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami. Dolphins and whales, though, are an exception. According to new research, these animals have lost their ability to perceive any flavors save for salty, ScienceNOW reports.
Do lizards sweat?
Reptiles do not have sweat glands And thus are not slimy, instead their skin is usually cool and dry.
Do chickens sweat?
Unlike people, Chickens don’t have sweat glands, nor do their feathers allow for a refreshing breeze to cool the skin and decrease their body temperature. Because of that, it’s important to stay vigilant about keeping your flock cool in the summer to prevent heat stress.
Do cats sweat?
Most people have never considered whether or not pets sweat. After all, with all that fur, it’s a bit hard to discern the same signs as when people sweat, and pets don’t get body odor. In reality, however, Cats and dogs do sweat – just not in the same manner as humans.
Do goats sweat?
Goats dissipate heat through sweating, panting and through their horns. Goats get eight times more relief from panting than sweating so rapid breathing is a primary form of cooling.
Do rabbits sweat?
Rabbits, in contrast, Can neither sweat nor pant. When combined with their thick fur coat, this puts them at risk of overheating. Also known as ‘hyperthermia’, overheating in rabbits is much easier to prevent than to treat.
Are humans the only animal that sweats?
Humans aren’t the only animals with sweat glands, but we are one of the few species that produces large amounts of perspiration to cool off. While sweating might lead to awkward encounters on a hot day, some scientists think that it also gave us an evolutionary advantage.
What animal sweats the most?
Monkeys, apes and lemurs All have a lot of sweat glands all over their body. They don’t have as many as humans, the sweatiest mammal around, but they have enough for sweating to be their primary method of cooling themselves down.

The release occurred over the summer and consisted of 45 animals reared at the Columbus Zoo. Another 144 salamanders came from eggs reared at the Toledo Zoo. The release is part of an effort to re-establish the eastern hellbender, the largest amphibian in Ohio and one of the largest in the world. The plan aims to establish multiple, self-sustaining hellbender populations in at least six Ohio watersheds. State officials say the hellbender plays a key role in the state's natural heritage, and its' presence is an indicator of healthy habitats.

Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca" with Ingrid Bergman. (Associated Press )
Burberry Group and heirs of Humphrey Bogart are suing each other over an image of the late actor wearing a Burberry trench coat in the film "Casablanca."
Burberry asked a federal court to declare that its use of Bogart's name and image in social media doesn't infringe Bogart Corp.'s trademark rights or rights of publicity, it said in a complaint filed Wednesday in New York.
Bogart, which is majority owned by Bogart's children, followed that action by filing a trademark-infringement complaint Wednesday in Los Angeles. The company seeks a court order preventing Burberry from using Bogart's name and image, and unspecified damages.
The London-based fashion company said it licensed from photo agency Corbis an image of Bogart wearing the trench coat in the final scene of the 1942 film. The picture was used in a Burberry historical timeline to illustrate the influence of the brand, according to the complaint. Burberry said the image wasn't used to sell merchandise.
"Defendant is attempting to exert and assert against Burberry rights which it does not possess," Burberry said in its complaint. The company said its reference to Bogart in the timeline is protected under the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.
Burberry said Bogart contacted it in April and ordered it to cease using the image. Bogart then contacted the company at least two other times and "made a significant monetary demand," Burberry said.
"This is such an incredibly disappointing and disrespectful action by Burberry," Stephen Bogart, the son of the late actor, said in a news release. "What's next, a cigarette company can start an advertising program claiming Bogie smoked its brand, and there's nothing our family can do about it?"
Bogart, who died in 1957 of cancer, was nominated for an Academy Award for his role as Rick Blaine, an expatriate nightclub owner, in "Casablanca." The film won the Academy Award for best picture.

The resignation from Congress of convicted felon Michael Grimm has triggered a federal lawsuit seeking to force Gov. Cuomo to call a special election to fill the seat.
Cuomo should fight the court action while getting behind legislation that would overhaul how New York stages elections to fill vacant seats in the Legislature and Congress.
The governor has the authority to schedule elections for unexpectedly opened posts. The downside of calling for a swift vote is that the complexities of state election law give party bosses the power to anoint replacements without giving voters any meaningful choices.
Rightly, Cuomo has refused boss selection. But here the downside is that some legislative vacancies can extend for months until the calendar gets around to a primary election in September and a general election in November.


United We DREAM, the National Immigrant Youth Alliance and the NIPNLG prepared this very informative warning advisory about how your criminal history could relate to Obama's deferred action program. There are thousands of people who will benefit from this deferred action program. However, many people's criminal history for a wide range of offences, including those commited as a juvenile can make you not only ineligible for this program, but also detainable and deportable. Until the regulations and rules
regarding the program are released in 60 days or so, the creators of this document urge you to use this time to collect documents that
will help prepare your case.
Download PDF from link above.
Show DescriptionThis month’s War On Immigrants Report hosted by Donald Anthonyson of Families for Freedom and Adem Carroll will be focusing on the recent DHS announcement regarding deferred action for ‘Dreamers’and we will also looking at the Pew Research Center’s report “The Rise of Asian Americans” Our guests will include Yajaira Saavedra from Dream Scholars, Anayely Gomez from the New York State Leadership Council, Khin Mai Aung, of the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund and John Choe, the Director of One Flushing Community Economic Development Center.
Show DescriptionThis month’s show focuses mainly on the activation of DHS’s Secure Communities in New York State. We will also continue to look at detention conditions and efforts to not only bring awareness, but to ultimately shut these awful places down. The Secure Communities program was fully activated in New York State on May 15th 2012, almost a year after the New York State Working Group Against Deportation (NYSWGAD) campaigned heavily to stop activation in 2011 and actually did get Gov. Cuomo to reject it.
On the day before Father’s Day, Families for Freedom’s Youth Committee along with adult nembers and allies will hold our annual vigil to raise awareness about American kids whose families are ripped apart due to the federal government’s draconian deportation policies.

There is a way to "clean" fish of heavy metals. Yes fish (especially the bigger ones - e.g. swordfish, tuna, shark etc) do contain mercury, but it is nothing compared to the mercury that is leeching out of your teeth this very second.
The way is the natural way which several native diets have discovered (e.g. the mediteraneans) which is to cook fish with garlic. Garlic contains thiols (sulphur compounds) which are strongly attracted to mercury and other heavy metals. They will quickly bind to the mercury rendering it harmless, and it can then be escorted out of the body.
I read about this tip in Dr Blaylock's "Nutrition secrets that may save your life" which I thoroughly recommend.
So every time you cook fish, just throw a couple of cloves of garlic in for good measure. I've started doing this regularly, and I must say just from a taste point of view it is great. Also I feel better for it.

The re-launch of this blog started in May of 2016.
It was rebranded Grow Up and I began to talk about issues of Christian maturity and Christlikeness. Also, I wanted to raise some funding to complete the Apprentice Experience (I should be in the picture from the link but I had left the day before the picture was taken) and chronicle my journey through this intense 18-month discipleship program. March 5-9 will be the last of our four gatherings and the end of the program.
Since the Apprentice Experience began, a good friend died, my oldest graduated from high school, my Dad died, I became a director of a library, my wife started a brand new career, and I relied on God more than I ever have before.
I want to use this space for the next few weeks to discuss some of my observations from the Apprentice Experience and to mention some of the highlights. I can’t recommend the Apprentice Experience highly enough and I hope to express the value of it in the next several posts.

It was another weekend of fun for Hollywood's favorite families as the kids continued to enjoy Summer. The celebrity babies sure love the outdoors; check out what they did!
Last night some of the hottest moms and dads in Hollywood hit the red carpet at the SAG Awards, but there was plenty of time for celebs to have fun with their kids too. The park was a popular hot spot for Heidi Klum and Jessica Alba, while Jude Law and Sarah Jessica Parker bundled up to brave the streets of NYC. Check out our slideshow to see the other things our favorite families were doing.
Basketball season is underway, which means we're sure to see lots of celebmamas and papas taking their tots to Lakers and Knicks games galore. David Beckham treated his eldest son, Brooklyn, to courtside seats and a caramel apple. Other families spent the weekend jet-setting around the world. The Stefani Rossdale crew is jammin' in Hawaii while Britney and her entourage took a private plane to Louisiana for some down-home family time. Check out what other celebabies did this weekend in my slideshow!
Known for parading her darling daughters around even when their daddy, Charlie Sheen is against it, Denise Richards was spotted leaving a Wiggles concert with Sam, 4 and Lola, 2 over the weekend.
Both of the lil ladies wore the same black belted spaghetti strapped dress. The frock was beyond cute, but a bit mature for the tots.
Do you think the dress was age appropriate?
Denise may have a temper when it comes to pesky paparazzi but she sure is patient with her two girls. How cute are Sam and Lola? Denise loves spending time with her daughters who are just getting more adorable every time we see them. Denise looks great too, as usual. Sam and Lola are both walking now so she probably gets quite a work out just trying to keep up with both of them!

Ahmedabad: Distancing himself from the disclosures made by Mallika Sarabhai, former state Intelligence Bureau chief RB Sreekumar on Saturday said the copy of affidavit handed over to media by the noted danseuse here was not his.
"The copy of affidavit being circulated is not mine. Its content as told by Mallika Sarabhai to media could be true to some extent. I have submitted a 10-page affidavit to the Nanavati commission, which includes three annexures making it a 63-page document," he said.
Challenging the veracity of the affidavit copy handed to media persons by Sarabhai, Sreekumar said, "Was the copy of so called affidavit circulated to media a certified copy taken out from the Nanavati commission?”
"The long and short of the story is that Gujarat Chief Minister had called a meeting and asked me to handover Rs 10 lakh to Sanjiv Bhatt, so I handed over the money to him," he said.
"The Chief Minister and Sanjiv Bhatt were in direct communication, so I am not aware what happened," he added.
Earlier in the day, Sarabhai accused Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi of using public funds to "bribe her lawyers" in an attempt to derail proceedings of the PIL filed in the Supreme Court by her in the 2002 communal riots case in the state.
She also handed over a three-page document to media persons, claiming it to be the affidavit submitted by Sreekumar to GT Nanavati and Akshay Mehta Commission, probing the 2002 Gujarat riots, in support of her allegations.

If you are considering dating a Polish child, it is crucial to recognise what to expect.
Contrary to some stereotypes, Polish girls are not not wanting to make changes to their lives for their young families. They may complete from a bustling big city into a rural small town and also to another region if they feel the need to complete the task. In addition , they don’t view parenthood as the finale of their lives. Motherhood can be described as natural off shoot of a relationship, not a principal goal. Gloss women consider their own families to be their closest friends and family.

In fact , Enhance women usually are not promiscuous, but they do tend to have more than two partners just before they subside and have kids.

(CNN) -- Australia remained top of the Commonwealth Games medals table after the second day of competition in India following a clean sweep of the three cycling events.
Scott Sunderland won the men's 1km time trial, Jack Bobridge claimed victory in the 4,000m individual pursuit and Anna Meares retained the women's 500m time trial title to help Australia win five golds on Tuesday for a leading nine and 23 medals overall.
Meares, who broke her neck in 2008, beat her own Games record in a time of 33.758 seconds to head off compatriot Kaarle McCulloch and Becky James of Wales.
The 22-year-old Sunderland beat Malaysia's Mohd Rizal Tisin, with New Zealand's Edward Dawkins third, while 21-year-old rising star Bobridge broke the Games record in qualifying before completing the hat-trick with victory from New Zealand's Jesse Sergent.
Australia's swimmers won nine medals, but only Leiston Pickett struck gold following the country's haul of three titles in the pool on Monday.
The 18-year-old won the women's 50m breaststroke from her teammate and defending champion Leisel Jones, with England's England's Kate Haywood third.
England won the British nation's first two golds in the pool, with Fran Halsall triumphing in the women's 50m butterfly ahead of Australia's Marieke Guehrer and Emily Seebohm and world record-holder Liam Tancock taking out the men's 50m backstroke title from Australia's Hayden Stoeckel and Ashley Delaney.
Robbie Renwick won Scotland's first swimming gold in the 200m freestyle from Australians Kenrick Monk and Thomas Fraser-Holmes.
Australia also won gold in the women's artistic gymnastics team event at Indira Gandhi Stadium in Delhi.
Hosts India moved in second place after winning five gold medals, three in the men's wrestling events and two in shooting disciplines.
Ravinder Singh beat England's South Africa-born Terrence Bosson in the final of the newly-introduced Greco-Roman 60kg category, and Sanjay defeated Richard Addinall of South Africa in the 74kg division.
Anil Kumar beat Hassene Fkiri in a stormy 96kg final which saw the Australian stripped of his silver medal, having aimed an obscene gesture at a judge after being disqualified for dangerous play.
India also won gold in the men's pairs 10m air rifle ahead of England and Bangladesh, and took out the women's pairs 25m pistol title from Australia and England.
But India, already embarrassed by technical problems in the weightlifting and boxing events plus reports that facilities will not be ready in time, suffered a humiliating record 113-18 defeat by world netball champions Australia.
The margin surpassed New Zealand's 116-26 victory against Sri Lanka in Manchester in 2002.
But the hosts made a better start in the men's field hockey, one of the nation's most popular sports, beating Malaysia 3-2 in a Pool A match after rivals Pakistan cruised past Scotland 3-0.
In Pool B, New Zealand thrashed Trinidad and Tobago 7-0 and South Africa won 4-1 against Canada.
In the women's hockey, Australia thrashed Trinidad and Tobago 11-0 and South Africa beat Scotland 2-1 in the other Pool A tie.
In Group B, England beat Wales 4-1 and New Zealand thumped Malaysia 5-0.
In the weightlifting, Canada's Marilou Dozois-Prevost won gold in the 53kg division despite a power cut which stopped the scoreboard operating.
Her overall total of 182kg was enough to head off U.S.-based Nigerian Onyeka Azike and Malaysia's Raihan Yusoff as she went one better than her silver medal in the 48kg class four years ago.

Since ABC's George Stephanopoulos is so willing to take directions from hosts on rival networks, Keith Olbermann offers some helpful hints for questions to ask Republican presidential candidate John McCain when he appears on This Week this Sunday. After all, these are questions the public deserves to have answered to better understand the candidate, right?
Your continuing association with radicals from the 1970's. A man who tried to destroy the two-party electoral system and subvert Democracy, and to this day remains utterly unapologetic, saying only that he wishes he'd done more of it, and better? As recently as November 8th of 2007, you had a public conversation with G. Gordon Liddy, not merely a criminal, but an unrepentant enemy of the U-S constitution who is now in radio.
Why do you hate the Constitution, sir?
Full transcripts below the fold
As we reported yesterday, ABC's George Stephanopoulos defended the questions in Wednesday's debate, saying all they did was throw at Democrats what the Right eventually will.
In our third story tonight: Sunday, Mr. Stephanopoulos will interview John McCain. Raising the question, is he now obligated to throw at McCain, what the Left eventually will?
Of course, some on the left forswear such partisan side issues. An aide to then-Governor Clinton claiming during the 19-92 campaign, that Americans care about more important things.
Still, since 2008, Stephanopoulos felt it appropriate to ask questions on behalf of Sean Hannity this week, we want to lend him a hand with his McCain interview.
So George, if you want to test Senator McCain's response to hostile distractions, you can pretend McCain's a Democrat and ask any of these questions.
1. In your book you mention visiting burlesque houses, and you say that in Rio you indulged in, quote "the vices sailors are infamous for."
Exactly how many times have you employed prostitutes? Or were you just referring to public drunkeness?
2. On your association with shady characters...
As a member of the Keating Five, you helped delay regulators from going after a savings and loan that ripped off elderly investors of their life savings... and cost taxpayers more than two billion dollars.
Why do you hate the elderly?
3. Your continuing association with radicals from the 1970's. A man who tried to destroy the two-party electoral system and subvert Democracy, and to this day remains utterly unapologetic, saying only that he wishes he'd done more of it, and better? As recently as November 8th of 2007, you had a public conversation with G. Gordon Liddy, not merely a criminal, but an unrepentant enemy of the U-S constitution who is now in radio.
Why do you hate the Constitution, sir?
4. After first calling Jerry Falwell an "agent of intolerance," you took that back and began praising the man, despite the fact that he blamed America for 9/11.
Why in six years have you not repudiated Mr. Falwell's damning of this country? Why do you still symbolically share the same pew?
5. You proudly accepted the endorsement of Pastor John Hagee who wants the U-S to start a nuclear war as part of the Apocalypse; who called Catholicism "the great whore" and said Katrina was God's punishment of New Orleans for holding, quote, "a homosexual parade."
Senator McCain, does Pastor Hagee love Catholics, Muslims, New Orleans, gay people, parades and life on Earth as we know it, as much as you do?
6. Senator, why did you commit adultery?
Not that lobbyist stuff. I mean, with your wife back in the '70s while you were still married to your first wife?
7. Last year, you admitted lying to voters when you said South Carolina's confederate flag was strictly a state issue, when you knew it wasn't, when you knew it was offensive to many Americans, presumably, those who wanted America to win the Civil War.
Why did you lie to protect a racist symbol of terrorists who wanted to destroy this country when you could have, um, not?
8. Finally, sir, a lot of Americans judge their politicians entirely by simple symbols. Flag lapel pins, where your hands are during the pledge of allegiance. Wouldn't you agree, Senator McCain, that perhaps the most potent simple symbol of loving America, is whether or not you chose to be born in America?
Senator McCain: why did you choose to be born in Panama? How can voters be sure that this kind of elitisim doesn't mean that you won't owe your allegiance to Panama and the Panamian Way?

Literary Analysis of "The Yellow Wallpaper"
Charlotte Perkins Gilman once said, “There is no female mind. The brain is not an organ of sex. Might as well speak of a female liver” (Brainyquote).
Gilman’s belief that there really was no difference in means of mentality between men or women is strongly demonstrated through “The Yellow Wallpaper”. “The Yellow Wallpaper” is a short story about a woman who has a mental illness but cannot heal due to her husband’s lack of belief. The story appears to take place during a time period where women were oppressed. Women were treated as second rate people in society during this time period. Charlotte Perkins Gilman very accurately portrays the thought process of the society during the time period in which “The Yellow Wallpaper” is written. Using the aspects of Feminist criticism, one can analyze “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman through the dialogue through both the male and female perspective, and through the symbol found in the story.
To begin with, one can analyze “The Yellow Wallpaper” by examining the aspect of dialogue through the male perspective. Gilman makes a strong statement about males in society during her time period. The men are portrayed to really see women as children more than as individuals. This is made clear when the Narrator says, “If a physician of high standing, and one’s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression- – slight hysterical tendency- – what is one to do?” (Gilman). Gilman shows the male perspective through dialogue because the Narrator explains that no matter what she says her husband shrugs away her illness. He strongly believes that his wife is being overly dramatic and that nothing is wrong.
The typical male makes his wife a conformist by enforcing his beliefs on her. The husband truly believes that nothing is wrong with his wife so he ignores the problem and adds to his wife’s illness. The Narrator also falls victim to oppression through derogatory names on behalf of her husband. This is made clear when the husband interacts with the Narrator, “The he took me in his arms and called me a blessed little goose, and said he would go down to the cellar, if I wished , and have it Whitewashed into the bargain” (Gilman). The key phrase in the quote is “little goose”, the husband treats his wife like a child and speaks to her as such. This shows how much intelligence the husband thinks his wife has.
He degrades his wife by using terms that one would typically use to speak to little children. Gilman clearly demonstrates how oppressed women were during this specific time period through dialogue from the perspective of men. Next, one can gain a better understanding of “The Yellow Wallpaper” by examining dialogue from the perspective of women. Gilman shows two very different sides of women during the time period in which “The Yellow Wallpaper” was written in. The first side Gilman demonstrates is the conformist side that women seemed to take.
The conformist female essentially goes along with the belief that women are subservient to men, this is made clear when the Narrator says, “I meant to be such a help to John, such a real rest and comfort, and here I am a comparative burden already!” (Gilman). The Narrator feels that she is a burden to her husband because she dislikes the wallpaper and keeps complaining about it even after he says that he won’t change it. She blames herself for not being able to cope with the room her husband has made her live in even though she was able to find solutions to the problem. These solutions included changing rooms or changing the wallpaper, but her husband said no. Gilman is also able to demonstrate the other side of women through dialogue. The Narrator finally overcomes her conformist ways towards the end of the story when she says, “I’ve got out at last,” said I, “in spite of you and Jane.
And I’ve pulled off most of the paper, so you can’t put me back” (Gilman). This example demonstrates that the Narrator felt trapped with her family and that she finally managed to speak up and act on behalf of herself. The Narrator finally becomes the strong female hero of the story after she speaks up for herself. Gilman demonstrated both sides of women during her time period through means of dialogue. The final observation that can be made in “The Yellow Wallpaper” is symbolism.
There is a clear sense of symbolism that one can obtain from the yellow wallpaper itself. The wallpaper in the Narrator’s room represents imprisonment and this is made clear when the Narrator says, “The faint figure behind seemed to shake the pattern, just as if she wanted to get out” (Gilman). The imprisonment representation is created from the yellow wallpaper because the Narrator repeatedly asks to remove the wallpaper but isn’t allowed so and she is ultimately confined to the room she despises due to the stubbornness seen from her husband. The quote shows that the Narrator is finally realizing that her husband’s treatment towards her is questionable and that she wants to escape her prison-like life. Gilman also shows how obsessive the Narrator has become with the wallpaper and why she is so obsessed. The symbolism is clearly seen when the narrator describes the wallpaper, “At night in any kind of light, in twilight, candlelight, lamplight, and worst of all by moonlight, it becomes bars! The outside pattern I mean, and the woman behind it is as plain as can be” (Gilman).
The Narrator’s obsession with the wallpaper increases because she wanted to change it but wasn’t allowed to do so. She has become the woman in the wallpaper trapped behind the bars. The Narrator was finally able to see how she had little say about anything in her life. This feeling was able to manifest itself on to the wallpaper thus leading to an increase in the symbolism and importance of the wallpaper. The symbolism was made clear in “The Yellow Wallpaper”. In Conclusion, one can clearly see that Charlotte Perkins Gilman felt strongly about women suffrage.
Gilman made clear in “The Yellow Wallpaper” that gender plays no role in the mental abilities of men and women. “The Yellow Wallpaper” also demonstrates the struggle that women had to go through in order to be heard. By using the aspects of Female criticism one analyze the “Yellow Wallpaper” by examining dialogue from both the perspective of males and the perspective of females, and through symbolism. “The Yellow Wallpaper” is an important short story in terms of history due to the positive implications it helped bring about for women. This story was written during a time where women suffrage was hardly spoken of and women were treated inferior to men.
This story demonstrates the struggle women everywhere had in terms of being heard and respected. It is important to remember how far women have come since “The Yellow Wallpaper” was written. Since this paper was written women have gained many of the rights that men have had for decades prior to the writing of “The Yellow Wallpaper” but there are still many more miles to go before women and men are completely equal.

It’d been a long week for me with school and work so I had planned to go out with a couple of buddies last night, get some dinner, go play some darts. At dinner one of my friends started talking to me about some struggles he had been having recently with anxiety. He had made a mistake at work a couple months ago and since then he has felt a lack of control of his career, worrying about job security.
It was difficult to hear parts of what has been going on for him, he’s been having physical symptoms along with trouble sleeping and just kind of felt stuck and not himself, and that he was unable to be himself because of his anxiety. I don’t think a lot of people realize just how difficult normal functioning is when you have an ongoing battle with mental health issues. Another aspect of mental health that I don’t think a lot of people consider is the comorbidity that goes along with it. More often than not someone will be battling more than one mental health issue, making it all the more difficult to overcome.
The reason that I bring this up, internalizing behaviors like anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms- are not obvious and can go unnoticed and unchecked for so long and at times to the extreme detriment of those who are suffering.
It is our responsibility as friends, family, and loved ones to be aware and vigilant when we notice changes in those around us, especially if we know there is a history of mental illness for the individual or in the individuals family. I take on the responsibility of being a supporter willingly and I will admit it is not easy to help sometimes. I have run into a couple of brick walls in my life when I have tried to help others, but I still will not give up, and I strive to be more helpful in the future.
I have been told that I can be somewhat parental, and not as patient-centered as I should be which is an important lesson to learn as collaboration is more effective for long-term care and not “band-aiding”. There are times when those who are suffering don’t know how to help themselves and they may need extra help and support and even some coaching, but then there are times when individuals understand their illnesses far more than someone who is not suffering and those are the ones that you need to listen to when you consider “how can I help?”
This is so important because if you think about it, having a mental illness doesn’t mean you are a child or are incapable of making your own choices, it just means that it can be a lot harder to do so and to handle certain situations.
Even if you do not personally know someone who is suffering from mental illness, you can still be a voice for those who do. Remember, not everyone who is suffering is obvious, and a lot of times it isn’t until it is too late. Sharing information on ways to get help and support is one way, but also just showing that mental health is important to you. Social media spreads far and wide and if we all can spread the message of support, those who suffer won’t feel so alone.

A day after a plastic surgeon suggested in the New York Post that mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio fix his “heavy” eyelids with surgery, the city’s public advocate said he had no plans to go under the knife.
“We deeply appreciate their analysis,” Mr. de Blasio, laughing, told Politicker this morning. “I like being natural and authentic and I will always be.”
Both at the time of his scandal and now during his political comeback attempt, the New York Post has simply reveled in making pun after pun with Anthony Weiner’s last name. But don’t expect any apologies.
Asked what he’d say to critics who have accused his publication of being immature, Post editor in chief Col Allan bluntly told the Australian news program Lateline, “I don’t know. They got to develop a sense of humor, I guess.”
This morning, the New York Post took a strong jab at Anthony Weiner, running a front-page story on his mayoral campaign’s online internship posting under the headline, “HIDE YOUR KIDS! Sexting king trolls for interns.”
The story itself, which called him “Twitter terror,” bellowed a similar message. “TAKE COVER! Weiner casts net for young aides,” it said of Mr. Weiner, whose political career took a tumble after a 2011 scandal. “Calling all co-eds — sexting king Anthony Weiner wants you!”
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio would like everyone to know that, despite a report indicating otherwise, in his view, the rent is actually too damn high.
The confusion began when the New York Post reported today that Mr. de Blasio, one of the most liberal candidates in the mayors race, was opposed to freezing rents on rent-stabilized properties. The story quoted a de Blasio aide expressing the public advocate’s concern about the potential impact on small landlords, and reported that he had not called on the Rent Guidelines Board to keep rents from increasing. All of his Democratic rivals had made such a call.
When former Congressman Anthony Weiner officially launched his mayoral bid yesterday, he took the unprecedented step of releasing an announcement video in the dark of night and only granting phone interviews with the media throughout the day. Some strongly speculated the strategy was designed to dampen the pun-filled tabloid reactions by entering the race after their print deadlines. If so, the plan worked–mostly.
Mr. Weiner was indeed kept off the front pages yesterday and today, but both the New York Post and Daily News managed to slip in some loud sideswipes. The News, in particular, seemed annoyed. On page 12, an insert read, “Here’s one for his scrapbook. Weiner’s midnight declaration prevented him from getting on the front page. Now for a ‘what if’ …”
The Fourth Estate
Yesterday afternoon, Mayor Michael Bloomberg fiercely condemned The New York Times for its lackluster coverage of the shooting death of 17-year-old Alphonza Bryant and its editorials critical of the NYPD’s controversial stop-and-frisk policy. “Do you think that if a white, 17-year-old prep student from Manhattan had been murdered, The Times would have ignored it?” Mr. Bloomberg sarcastically asked himself. “Me neither.”
Several of The Times competitors took notice.
“Take that, New York Times!” New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin declared in an op-ed piece prominently featuring The Times‘ logo. “And thank you, Bloomy.”
What White House?
Gov. Andrew Cuomo shot down a report Monday that he’s been telling confidantes he knows he can’t run for president in 2016 if Hillary Clinton enters the race.
“There is no truth to the assertion that I’m talking presidential politics and strategy and what Hillary Clinton should do or shouldn’t do or what I’m doing presidentially,” Mr. Cuomo told WCNY’s Susan Arbetter this morning.
“The only discussions I’m having are about how to help the state, how to get the state running, how to make the government a better government,” he added. “And to the extend I’m focusing on politics, it’s my race next year.”
fun with puns
After former Congressman Anthony Weiner revealed his possible return to electoral politics yesterday, one could not help but wonder what pun-filled direction the New York Post would take. After all, during Mr. Weiner’s 2011 scandal, the tabloid simply wallowed in its own innuendos.
Today’s paper didn’t disappoint.
The Post‘s full coverage of Mr. Weiner’s potential mayoral candidacy starts with the cover, which blares “WEINER’S SECOND COMING!” and “Anthony: Erect me Mr. Mayor,” along with one of the sexual pictures that helped force his resignation.
Although the New York Post ran a front-page story today reporting that Governor Andrew Cuomo is seriously considering a coup d’etat against influential Assembly Speaker Shelly Silver, the governor himself is denying any such scheme exists.
“It is wholly up to the legislative bodies to select a leader,” Mr. Cuomo said on The Capitol Pressroom this morning. “I would never, even for a moment, try to influence that decision.”
Mo' Money Mo' Problems
“That’s politics in New York,” the New York Post‘s cover blared in stark black-and-white ink this morning. “It’s all about the f–king money.”
The quote, allegedly made from Councilman Dan Halloran to a cooperating witness, was revealed yesterday as U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara unsealed charges not only against Mr. Halloran, but State Sen. Malcolm Smith and a small slew of other political figures in what Mr. Bharara called “a corridor of corruption stretching from Queens and the Bronx to Rockland County and all the way up to Albany itself.”
Specifically, Mr. Halloran is accused of “essentially quarterbacking” a scheme to secure Republican establishment support for Mr. Smith’s mayoral bid. Mr. Smith, a Democrat, would need the blessing of three of the five county Republican organizations to run on the GOP line, and he allegedly arranged for cash bribes in his attempt to do so. But, looking more broadly, the strange scandal also shines light on these county organizations and their few remaining powers in city politics.
