MD: You had a few guys from the scene there, like the guys from Anthrax and you gave up your kit to Mike Portnoy as wellÖ
FF: Yeah, Mike Portnoy came up and played a song with us. We do a cover of ĎFreewheel Burningí which is on the second record; we do that in the set and that was the last song and we just had him come up and do it. That was really cool, and he was there with the guys from Avenged Sevenfold because heís recording their record right now. Vinnie Paul was there; his band were there, and Vinnie came out onstage and brought us shots, you know, like he always does. So letís see, yeah, the guys from Anthrax, and Avenged Sevenfold, and Hellyeah, and PortnoyÖI think that was it. I donít know if there was anybody else there or not. Unfortunately, having so much to deal with when we do these fly dates, like dealing with rented equipment and bringing a few things of my own and stuff like that, I never get to truly enjoy the other stuff. Itís like - ďHey, how you doing? Nice to see ya. Right, Iíve got stuff to doĒ!
MD: So you didnít mind giving up your kit to Mike Portnoy?!
FF: No, no, because it wasnít my kit so I didnít careÖ ďGo nuts, do what you wantĒ!
MD: Itís been rumoured on a couple of internet forums that Fozzy have been booked for the Bloodstock Open Air festival over here in August - is that something you can confirm or deny?
FF: I canít confirm that, no.
MD: Thatís a redundant question, I guess, because until stuff like that is officially announcedÖ
FF: Itís one of those things that youíd have to ask Rich or Chris about. I hope so, I really hope so. I can say that because I really like playing festivals here. And yeah, I keep hearing talk of different things and that was one of Ďem, so hopefully it will happen. I canít confirm or deny it though.
MD: Were you still in the band when Fozzy did Download?
FF: Yeah, that was a great show and thatís why Iím looking forward to coming back and doing more.
MD: When Stuck Mojo reformed a few years ago, was there ever any option that you could return to the band?
FF: Well, when we actually first got together I was playing in the band again, when we did our first European tour in 2005 when Bonz was still in the band. I was in the band then and it was later that year that Rich and I parted ways and I wasnít doing any of his bands anymore. So I did the first reunion tour and I think weíll be doing some German festivals and stuff in July, if Iím not mistaken.
MD: So youíre a fully fledged member of Stuck Mojo again now then?
FF: Yeah, pretty much.
MD: I heard thereís going to be a European tour later this year?
FF: The only thing I know of is the German festivals and a few club dates along with it. Thatís all Iíve been told so far.
MD: Iíve got to stop asking you those kind of questions!
FF: No, itís fine! Stuff gets floated around and itís hard to tell whatís real and whatís talk, and sometimes things are just talk until they become real, and sometimes things are real until they go away.
MD: Touring obviously has its highs and lows but what are your happiest and worst memories of touring, and were you part of Stuck Mojo at the time when Century Media cancelled your transportation on tour?
FF: That was me, yeah, Rich and me.
MD: Rich told me that story and it was quite shocking! You had to hitchhike from Germany to Calais or something?
FF: We got a ride from Century Mediaís offices to Calais by one of their employees who didnít speak English and we were actually showing him on a map where to go. How he found his way back, Iíve no idea! We caught a ferry and then from the ferry we caught a couple of trains into London and we just barely got to the airport before our flights were leaving. So that was one of the worst, yeah. When I got home after that tour I was almost in tears because that was such a horrific experience trying to get home. Youíre sent out on a tour and then youíre basically told to find your own way home in a foreign country. That was the worst and the best, I would have to say, was when Stuck Mojo did a short tour with Pantera in Spain and Germany, because we werenít part of a big package; it was them and us. We were Panteraís special guests, Stuck Mojo, and we really bonded with all those guys and just had a great time. Weíd been touring constantly up until then. Weíd had a long European tour up until then and so we were just on fire. We were at our absolute best and then playing with someone like Pantera was, like I said, you grow up worshipping these guys and then you actually get to tour with them and get treated like a peer. We were trying to give them a run for their money every night, and I think we actually kind of inspired them to play a little tighter. So that was definitely my best memory.
MD: Did Vinnie Paul bring you shots onstage back then too?
FF: Oh yeah, they all did! Phil and Dimebag came out and sang a couple of songs with us. Weíd throw a couple of little covers into the set for fun and theyíd come out and sing with us, and it was just like a party. Yeah, it was great.
MD: Finally, whatís next for Fozzy and yourself as a musician?
FF: For Fozzy, weíre just gonna keep playing as much as we can and, hopefully, maybe in the Fall, weíll get to play a little bit more than we are now. And I think they want us to do another record fairly quickly. There definitely wonít be a five year break between this album and the next. For myself, this is what I do; this is my life, playing drums. I just wanna continue to do that and hopefully keep getting better at it and, eventually, start learning some stuff about recording and stuff like that because itís harder being on the road and playing like this when youíre in your fifties so it would be nice having something else like that that I knew how to do. I wouldnít mind being in the position where I can produce people and stuff like that.
MD: Rich said heís learnt a lot from Andy Sneap, whoís been like his mentor - have you learnt much from Andy yourself?
FF: A little bit but I havenít paid as much attention as a should have! I intend to pay more attention! Iím learning a little bit here and there. I just wanna live a music life and hopefully not be poor doing it. Iíve got a wife, we donít have any kids, but you wanna have some nice things and you wanna have a little security. When you come over and play shows it would be nice to be able to have your gear brought over instead of having to use rented equipment.
MD: Yeah, more crew too and that sort of thing.
FF: Exactly. As long as we can keep doing what weíre doing, but getting better and bigger at itÖnot for the fame or anything. I honestly couldnít care a less about that. Iím kind of a quiet person and if I donít get recognised, thatís fine with me. I donít see how Chris does it because he gets attention wherever he goesÖ
MD: Yeah, of course, because of the wrestling.
FF: Exactly. I actually wouldnít want that. Iíd like to be able to just go onstage and play great shows, and get paid nicely for it and, at the end of the day, go home to my wife and watch TV! [laughs]
MD: Thatís a very nice, unpretentious attitude to have.
FF: To me, itís all about playing; Iím not as much of an artist. I donít consider myself an artist, I consider myself a player. I just like playing drums and I like being part of making music. When Iím at home I play in a karaoke band. Itís a live band that does karaoke and people can come and sing to the band. So Iím playing Bon Jovi and Guns Ní Roses songs all night long but, you know. I enjoy it and it doesnít bother me because I donít care if I wrote the song - if Iím playing it well and youíre making the audience happy, and theyíre enjoying themselves, what could be better? I donít need to know that ďyeah, I wrote thisĒ. I donít care if somebody else wrote it; if itís a good song itís a good song.
MD: Is there any YouTube footage of you playing in this karaoke band?
FF: I donít know, I havenít looked. Maybe.
MD: Iíll be checking tomorrow!
FF: Yeah, there may be. Itís called Metalsome Incorporated. Check it out and see if there is. I havenít even looked myself!
MD: Okay, Iím intrigued now! Right, thank you so much for your time.
FF: Thatís absolutely fine, thank you.

SUMMARY RECORD OF THE 38th MEETING
Held at the Palais des Nations, Geneva,
on Thursday, 7 April 2005, at 3 p.m.
Chairperson : Mr. WIBISONO ................... (Indonesia)
later: Mr. OULD MOHAMED LEMINE ...............(Mauritania)
REPORT OF THE UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND FOLLOW-UP TO THE WORLD CONFERENCE ON HUMAN RIGHTS (continued)
THE RIGHT OF PEOPLES TO SELF-DETERMINATION AND ITS APPLICATION
TO PEOPLES UNDER COLONIAL OR ALIEN DOMINATION OR FOREIGN OCCUPATION (continued)
INTEGRATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND THE GENDER PERSPECTIVE:
(a) VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN (continued)
REPORT OF THE UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND FOLLOW-UP TO THE WORLD CONFERENCE ON HUMAN RIGHTS (agenda item 4) ( continued)
1. The CHAIRPERSON informed the Commission that no written proposals had been tabled under agenda item 4.
TO PEOPLES UNDER COLONIAL OR ALIEN DOMINATION OR FOREIGN OCCUPATION (agenda item 5) ( continued) (E/CN.4/2005/L.5 and L.6)
Draft resolution concerning the situation in occupied Palestine (E/CN.4/2005/L.5)
2. Ms. AL-HAJJAJI (Observer for the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya), introducing draft resolution E/CN.4/2005/L.5 on behalf of its sponsors, said that Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Guinea, Indonesia, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Pakistan, Portugal, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain and Sweden had joined the sponsors.
3. The draft resolution on the situation in occupied Palestine had traditionally secured strong support among the members of the Commission. She hoped it would be adopted without a vote at the current session since she failed to see how any member could object to the exercise of the right of self-determination. The text was finely balanced and had been carefully drafted to secure unanimous support.
4. The sponsors had decided to revise the draft resolution by deleting the eighth and ninth preambular paragraphs and operative paragraphs 4 to 7. Paragraph 3 had been revised to read: “ Urges all Member States and relevant bodies of the United Nations system to support and assist the Palestinian people in the early realization of their right to self-determination,”.
5. Mr. EVANON (Observer for Israel) said that Israel had stated unambiguously on many occasions that it supported the right of peoples, including the Palestinians, to self-determination. In a few months’ time, Israel would withdraw unilaterally from Gaza, which would be handed over to the Palestinian Authority. Other positive steps had been taken recently in Sharm el-Sheikh. Sadly, the draft resolution ignored the seeds of peace that had recently been sown. Israel’s repeated statements seemed to fall on deaf ears. He called on the Commission to support the current negotiations, which he hoped would lead to a two-State solution that would allow Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace.
6. Mr. ABU-KOASH (Observer for Palestine) said he had hoped that the observer for Israel would support the draft resolution, since he claimed to support the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. The text of the draft resolution was based on wording accepted by the Israeli Government itself and by the Security Council. He assured the delegation of Israel that the positive developments at Sharm el-Sheikh would be mentioned in other resolutions.
7. The CHAIRPERSON announced that the draft resolution had no programme budget implications.
8. At the request of the representative of the United States of America, a recorded vote was taken on the draft resolution .
In favour : Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Bhutan, Brazil, Canada, China, Congo, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Gabon, Germany, Guatemala, Guinea, Honduras, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Malaysia, Mauritania, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, Nigeria, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Qatar, Republic of Korea, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Swaziland, Togo, Ukraine, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Zimbabwe.
Against: United States of America.
Abstaining: Burkina Faso, Costa Rica.
9. The draft resolution, as orally revised, was adopted by 49 votes to 1, with 2 abstentions .
20. Mr. BOSCHWITZ (United States of America) said that the United States had voted against the draft resolution on the situation in occupied Palestine because it was, as in the past, unbalanced notwithstanding the amendments which had been a step in the right direction. The draft resolution failed to take fully into account the dramatic progress that had been made in the past six months in the West Bank and Gaza, which had provided new opportunities to achieve the goal of two States living side by side in peace and security. Both sides must break with the past and set out on a new path. Free elections had resulted in a new leadership of the Palestinian Authority committed to ending violence. Israel had undertaken to withdraw from Gaza and parts of the West Bank and to support the Palestinian Authority’s political, economic and security reform efforts. The Commission had been given the opportunity to advance those efforts to build a new foundation for peace based on mutual security, democracy and human rights. Regrettably, the draft resolution had failed to seize that opportunity.
21. The United States remained committed to providing the leadership and support that was required to end the tragic conflict.
22. Mr. VARELA QUIROS (Costa Rica) said that, although Costa Rica supported the right of self-determination, particularly of the Palestinian people, it had abstained from voting on the draft resolution on the situation in occupied Palestine because of its lack of balance in failing to take into account the major progress that had been made at Sharm el-Sheikh. He hoped that the dialogue begun on that occasion would lead to a settlement of the conflict so that Palestine could become a sovereign, independent State living peacefully alongside Israel within safe borders.
23. Mr. PIRA (Guatemala) reiterated his support for the two-State solution whereby Israel and Palestine, having both exercised their right of self-determination, would live as neighbours in peace and security. He had therefore voted in favour of the draft resolution on the situation in occupied Palestine. The new opportunities for peace in the Middle East afforded by the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement between the Prime Minister of Israel and the President of the Palestinian Authority should be taken into account at the current session of the Commission.
INTEGRATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND THE GENDER PERSPECTIVE:
(a) VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
(agenda item 12) (continued ) (E/CN.4/2005/63 and 68, E/CN.4/2005/69-E/CN.6/2005/6, E/CN.4/2005/70-E/CN.6/2005/7, E/CN.4/2005/71 and Add.1, 72 and Corr.1 and Add.1-5, and 133; E/CN.4/2005/NGO/12, 17, 28, 49-50, 72, 88, 91, 116, 118, 125, 141, 146, 187, 197, 205, 224, 228, 245, 250, 268, 273, 285, 318 and 336)
30. Ms. CERVANTES (Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America)
33. Palestinian women facing Israeli oppression; Iraqi women suffering the consequences of war and subsequent occupation; Latin American women mobilizing against neo-liberalism; indigenous women defending their age-old culture; and Cuban women leading their people’s resistance to the United States embargo were united in their struggle for true independence, socio-economic empowerment, equal opportunities, solidarity and justice.
101. Ms. SABA (International Islamic Federation of Student Organizations) welcomed the work of the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, but considered that the Commission must adopt a more proactive approach to addressing the issue of discrimination against women. Discrimination and violations of women’s rights were of particular concern in conflict areas and disputed territories such as Palestine and Kashmir. ...

Songfacts®: You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.
Murray recorded this after watching its composer, Gene MacLellan, perform it on Canadian TV. It was the second song MacLellan had ever written and he penned it in just 25 minutes.
This was Murray's first hit. She started recording when the producer of a show that turned her down as a singer gave her a shot 2 years later. She became a very popular Pop/Country crossover artist.
This was the first ever gold record by a Canadian solo female artist.
Lyrically the snowbird is used as a metaphor for freedom by contrasting the narrator's in ability to leave the place of his/her heartache with the bird's ability to just up and fly away.
Other artists who have recorded this song include, Lynn Anderson, Bing Crosby with Count Basie, Burl Ives, Loretta Lynn, Al Martino, Elvis Presley, and Andy Williams.
This was an inaugural song inductee of the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003.

Wakanda Forever presents Afrofuturism as Black and Indigenous superpowers fighting each other, and that narrative is inherently anti-Black. . . .
On March 30, 2021, the African Liberation Struggle gained a new ancestor, Romain “Chip” Fitzgerald. Chip, a former member of Black Panther Party for Self Defense, was a 50 year hostage of the California prison system, making him California’s longest serving Black Panther. . . .
The video was circulating endlessly this past weekend. Seemingly dozens of primarily African men (with a sprinkling of women) carrying semi-automatic weapons, marching, and chanting, in formation. Apparently, headed for the Ku Klux Klan headquarters in rural Georgia, U.S. It wasn’t clear what happened once or if they reached their destination, but its safe to say that the centuries old vision of African people putting the Klan out of their misery once and for all didn’t take place. For the most part, the reaction, primarily from colonized people, particularly African women, was support for this action. And, for people who . . .

South African couch potatoes have never had it so good. In the past fortnight, two new video-on-demand (VOD) offerings have been launched, one using broadband connections to deliver entertainment into people’s homes, the other using satellite as its primary delivery vehicle.
Times Media Group, publisher of the Sunday Times, was first off the starting blocks with Vidi, which takes advantage of consumer broadband connections to deliver streaming on-demand entertainment. Vidi is similar to Netflix, the US service that pioneered the online streaming model, in that it offers unlimited access to its catalogue of movies and television series for a fixed monthly fee (R149). Subscribers can also rent movies on demand, with the latest blockbusters costing R27 each.
But relying on South Africa’s notoriously poor fixed broadband infrastructure — as surely it must given that mobile broadband remains far too costly to stream video — is a brave move.
The barrier to entry is lower than the satellite alternative, but fixed broadband penetration in South Africa is low relative to developed markets — there are fewer than a million digital subscriber lines in service — and it’s impossible to ensure a uniform streaming experience for consumers.
Many Internet service providers apply aggressive bandwidth shaping to their uncapped broadband accounts, meaning Vidi’s streaming content isn’t guaranteed to have priority. And when video starts buffering and stuttering, consumers are likely to blame Vidi quicker than they do their ISP.
Times Media says Vidi will work on lines as slow as 1Mbit/s and the stream will vary in quality automatically to take advantage of whatever bandwidth is available, but faster access is recommended for high-definition video. The fact that it has local content servers should help.
The second offering, which was launched on Thursday, is broader. Technology company Altech — part of the JSE-listed Altron stable — is hoping the Node, a satellite set-top box that offers VOD along with a range of other features and services, will become a big money spinner for the group.
Similar in a way to the BoxOffice service available on DStv personal video recorders, Altech will push content via satellite to the hard drives in its set-top boxes. This means there’s no need to stream content over the Internet, with consumers able to watch a range of programming directly from the set-top box in Blu-ray quality with no concerns about their Internet connection speed or their data consumption. Subscriptions are R299/month, while the box costs R3 499.
Altech certainly has the skills to pull it off. Its Durban-based Altech UEC subsidiary is a world leader in set-top box manufacturing and understands the technical, commercial and legal complexities involved. Altech has signed content deals with four of the six major studios and plans to add more content to the service over time.
But what’s perhaps more interesting about the Node is that it doubles as a platform for home automation, as a payments platform and even as an Internet telephone. Consumers will be able to use it to control security cameras, motion detectors and decide when they want their lights to come on or be switched off. They’ll be able to pay their bills and traffic fines and shop online.
Time will tell which model — Altech’s or Times Media’s — will prove more appealing to South African consumers. The Node and Vidi certainly provide more choice to South African television viewers. And they — and similar services yet to be launched — will chip away at MultiChoice’s dominance in subscription television. Of course, MultiChoice is not sitting idly by. It is actively developing its own VOD offering, preparing for the day when (it’s not a case of if) on-demand viewing eclipses traditional linear broadcasting.
But even bigger threats are looming on the horizon. International players like Netflix are likely to enter the market at some point. Indeed, thousands of South Africans already watch Netflix and similar services using clever technologies to circumvent region blocking. Piracy is also a growing threat. Although it’s not legal, BitTorrent makes it easy to download the latest television shows the moment they’re broadcast in the US. A growing number of South Africans do just that.

Southern Cross says its recent seabed survey found a faster route for the Southern Cross Next cable project connecting Auckland and Sydney to Los Angeles.
The route means laying cable in waters off the Wallis and Fortuna Islands. This should pay off by cutting latency; that’s the time taken for data to travel across the Pacific. Southern Cross Cable Network CEO Anthony Briscoe says it will be the fastest connection between New Zealand, Australia and the US.
How does that claim stack up?
Light travels at around 300,000 kilometres per second in a vacuum. It slows to around 200,000 kmps in a fibre cable. That’s roughly 5 milliseconds to travel 1000km. The existing Southern Cross cable is 8000km from Auckland to Hawaii and another 4135 km from Hawaii to California. That’s about a 60ms one-way journey.
The abandoned Pacific-Fibre cable was to take a more direct route, around 10,500km from Auckland to the US. If we assume Southern Cross is planning a similar distance, then it would be around 1500km shorter or roughly 7ms closer.
Hawaiki Cable will run around 14,000km of fibre from Australia to the USA. The route between Australia and New Zealand is a fraction longer than Southern Cross’s trans-Tasman route. The line from Northland connects to the Australia-US cable near Norfolk Island, which, according to Google is almost 12,000km from the USA.
Southern Cross Next cable shaves milliseconds off trip
So it looks as if Brisco’s claim is right, the Next cable will be the fastest data route from New Zealand to the US.
Does this matter? It won’t affect most people, but it will be enough to make a difference for some specialist users and applications that deal in vast amounts of data.
Southern Cross says the Next cable will cost around US$350 million to build. It should be open for business by the end of 2019. The plan is for a 60Tbps link, which is three times the 20Tbps on the existing Southern Cross cable.
Like its rival, Hawaiki, the new cable will drop off at Pacific island nations en route. Fiji, Samoa, Tokelau and Kiribati are the most likely candidates. The company says it has eight potential customers.
Spark owns 50 percent of the cable network, Singtel owns 40 percent and the remaining 10 percent belongs to Verizon.


The guys are back in BarrDown Studios for Episode 170 of the Sound Of Hockey Podcast, which brings the shenanigans up a notch!
The Seattle Kraken are in the midst of an eight-game losing streak, and John, Andy, and Darren are recording fresh off of Thursday’s loss to the St. Louis Blues. But despite the miserable spiral of the Kraken, the guys are feeling surprisingly optimistic about the future of the team. So, if you’re a Kraken fan needing a lift, this is the podcast for you!
This episode starts with some Wes McCauley silliness, followed by discussion about Kodak Black taking the hockey world by… storm. It then shifts to the outlook of the Kraken for quite a while, before turning to the hockey world as a whole.
Plenty of discussion about the Team USA Olympic roster (which includes Matty Beniers), Tuukka Rask returning to the Bruins, and Evander Kane somehow still being pursued.
Segbits include Goalie Gear Corner, Serious Business, Bad Boys, Weekly One-Timers, and MORE!

Missing Mom Erica Hernandez's Body Was Identifed – Her Sister Says the Story Is Not Finished
The remains of a single mother to three children, Erica Hernandez, was recently found and identified in a pond, but her family believes the story is not finished yet.
Erica Hernandez's loss has been a huge blow to her family since she was identified as the woman whose body was found in a pond. The mother of three was declared missing a few weeks ago, but the search has been called off.
Erica's whereabouts became unknown after she was spotted leaving a friend's house in southwest Houston last month. Since her disappearance, various attempts were made to find her, to no avail until recently.

The last that was heard of the mother of three was a text she sent to her family on the night of her disappearance, noting that she was five minutes from getting home.
Recently, an SUV belonging to the deceased was spotted in the small body of water at Reflection Bay and N. Clear Lake in Shadow Creek Ranch. After some examination, the body was discovered to be that of Erica's.
Her sister spoke to the media, revealing that the family is going through untold pain dealing with her death. She noted that the story of her sister's demise is not yet over despite her body being found.
Erica's sister, Ashley Hernandez, noted that the family was grateful for the love and kindness that has been shown to them since the story of her sister went viral.
She drove the kids home and went to see a friend but never made it home.
According to reports, information from the FBI led a team of officers to the pond in Pearland. It looked like her vehicle struck a curb and went into the water. She might have been in the water since she was declared missing weeks ago.
Before searching for the mother of three in the Pearland pond, officers had looked for her at other waterways and parks, including one in Missouri City.
Her family is concerned with the location she was found, stating that they do not know anyone in Parland and wonder why the deceased would have gone there that day.
Before her untimely death and disappearance, a doorbell camera captured Erica the evening before she went missing. The 40-year-old was reportedly wearing a teal T-shirt with jeans and was driving a black 2020 GMC Acadia with Texas plates.
Her sister-in-law revealed that Erica had come to their house to drop off some food while her three children waited for her in her car. She drove the kids home and went to see a friend but never made it home.
Her sister-in-law, Eldia, recalled that Erica looked fine the last time they saw and had no trace of danger on her except that she looked a bit tired from the day's work.

Hearing aids have been shown to support your health in surprising ways including improving cognitive abilities, reducing depression, and limiting your risk of falls. Which is why it can be so aggravating when these devices have malfunctions. When you start detecting buzzing feedback, or when your hearing aids suddenly go silent, expedient solutions can make the difference between a lovely family dinner or a difficult one.
Luckily, there are some basic troubleshooting steps you can take that may alleviate or address some typical hearing aid issues. The faster you figure out what’s going on with your hearing aid, the sooner you can go back to what’s important.
Maybe The Batteries Need to be Swapped Out
One of the most common issues with hearing aids is a low battery. Many hearing aids come with rechargeable batteries. Replaceable batteries are standard on other models. Here are some of the symptoms that could give you a clue that the batteries are the culprit when your device starts to malfunction:
- Weak sounds: You’re struggling to hear what’s happening around you and that seems to be occurring more and more.
- Hearing aids won’t turn on: If your hearing aid doesn’t turn on, or keeps shutting off, there’s a good chance the battery is the main issue.
- Dull sound quality: It seems as if somebody is talking to you underwater or from the other side of the room.
- Make sure the batteries are completely charged. Allow your rechargeable batteries to charge overnight or at least for several hours.
- If you have replaceable batteries, replace them on a regular basis. You might have to take your hearing aid in to a professional if the battery is sealed inside.
- Having the correct batteries is essential so make sure you double check that. Your hearing aid can be damaged by the incorrect battery. (In some cases, the wrong type of battery can be purchased in the right size, so double-checking is essential.)
Every Surface Should be Cleaned
Obviously, hearing aids log a lot of time inside of your ears. And your ears have a lot taking place inside of them. So while helping you hear, it’s not surprising that your hearing aid can get a little dirty. In spite of the fact that hearing aids are designed to deal with some earwax, it’s a practical idea to have them cleaned once in a while. A few issues related to buildup and dirt may include:
- Discomfort: Earwax can accumulate to the point where your hearing aid fits a little tight. The plastic will occasionally need to be replaced if it starts to harden.
- Feedback: It’s possible that earwax buildup can interfere with the feedback canceling functions of your hearing aid, causing you to hear a whining noise.
- Muffled sound: Earwax and other buildup can make your hearing aid sound like it’s buried underneath something.
- Check the earwax filter to make sure it is clean; replace it if necessary.
- Clean your hearing aid gently in the way that the manufacturer has directed.
- Make sure you are bringing your hearing aids to a specialist for routine maintenance and cleaning.
- Double-check the tip of the hearing aid to make sure it’s not covered or plugged by debris or earwax. Clean with your cleaning tool or as directed by the manufacturer’s instructions.
You May Just Need Some Time
Sometimes, the problem isn’t a problem with the hearing aid. When you first put in your hearing aids, your brain has to get used to hearing the world again. Certain sounds (the buzzing of an air conditioner, for example) may at first come across as unpleasantly loud. And certain consonants often sound louder than the rest of the speech.
As your brain works to catch up, before long, you’ll adjust.
Even so, it’s worthwhile not to let too much time go by, with any issue, before getting help. Your hearing aids should make your life more enjoyable, so if things aren’t working the way they ought to be, or your hearing aids are uncomfortable, contact us, we can help.

Above is Norah's own little garden that she takes care of. She planted a potato to see what would happen, and in the middle you'll see her potato plant.
The book also gives great ideas for ways to grow food even if you don't have a yard. Just one little balcony box or pot can really grow a substantial amount of food! I think it's so important that we all learn to grow something. Even if it's just herbs on a windowsill, or a pot of Tiny Tim's. We've all become far too dependent on our oil-based food industry, and expect that those trucks will always deliver food to our grocery stores, just in the nick of time. It's time we took back some of our food independence. Plus, nothing beats eating a salad from fresh lettuce and other veggies that were picked only moments before... soooo nutritious and delicious!
So what's in your garden? Do you have one? How long have you been gardening? Have you thought about it, but just not gotten around to acting on it? Can you grow one thing, anything? I'd love to hear about it and see your pictures!

‘Hairclip’ protein mechanism explained
Research led by Sarah Teichmann's group on the Wellcome Genome Campus has identified a fundamental mechanism for controlling protein function. Published in the journal Science, the discovery has wide-ranging implications for biotechnology and medicine.
- New study describes, for the first time, a fundamental mechanism regulating a protein’s shape.
- “Hairclip” mechanism involves mutations acting on one side of a protein to open or close the configuration of amino acids on the other.
- Findings have implications for the manipulation of proteins, with potential applications in biotechnology and drug development.
The shape of a protein determines its function, for example whether it is able to interact with another protein or with a drug. But a protein’s shape is not constant – it may change in response to different conditions, or simply as a matter of course. Understanding how this process works is key to figuring out how to manipulate proteins, for example in order to disrupt a disease. This finding provides important clues that will help focus future research.
The team looked at a family of bacterial RNA-binding proteins that control a basic process in metabolism: one type of bacteria lives in very high temperatures, and the other likes things colder. The goal was to determine how a protein morphs from an active configuration (one that lets it bind to RNA) to an inactive one in two very different environments.
“The process is controlled by mutations, but these mutations aren’t in an obvious place, where the binding happens,” explains Sarah Teichmann, research group leader at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. “They’re actually working from a distance, indirectly, to change the shape of those sites. We wanted to know how that works at an atomic level.”
The process is controlled by mutations, but these mutations are not in an obvious place, where the binding happens.
Undertaken initially as a purely computational study, lead author Tina Perica stepped away from her laptop and into the lab, where she worked with others to fill in the picture with experiments in biophysics, and integrated structural biology to detail how these mutations work.
“Any stable protein will have a lot of constraints on its mutational pathways,” says Perica. “These mutations have very few options – just like a person walking along a cliff will need to keep to a narrow path. But at the same time, proteins need enough wiggle room to be able to bind to things, like another protein or a drug. To find where the protein could provide that wiggle room, we retraced its steps millions of years into the past, and used a lot of different approaches to figure out what was happening.”
“If you know how a species of bacteria has evolved, you can reconstruct proteins that it may have had in the past, but which don’t exist today,” says Yasushi Kondo from MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. “We made a couple of these proteins, and used X-ray crystallography to solve their structures. That let us see details we would never have seen if we’d only studied proteins from the bacteria that live today. When we put that new information together with computational work and simulations, we started to see a clear picture of how these proteins change.”
“We were really pleased to do the elastic network modelling for this study, because it helps you see the dynamics of how the protein goes from one configuration to another,” says Nathalie Reuters of the University of Bergen, Norway. “It also shows that these fluctuations are the same for natural mutations between the thermophilic and mesophilic organism, for allosteric ligands, for small molecules binding, or for engineered mutations.”
“These proteins provide a very good example of a fundamental biophysical phenomenon that we think can happen in many proteins, regardless of which organism,” says Teichmann. “We believe our findings will help future research into manipulating proteins, which has potential applications across the life sciences.”

Lack of ß1 integrin gene in embryonic stem cells affects morphology, adhesion, and migration but not integration into the inner cell mass of blastocysts
1995 (English)In: Journal of Cell Biology, ISSN 0021-9525, E-ISSN 1540-8140, Vol. 128, no 5, 979-988 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
A gene trap-type targeting vector was designed to inactivate the beta 1 integrin gene in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Using this vector more than 50% of the ES cell clones acquired a disruption in the beta 1 integrin gene and a single clone was mutated in both alleles. The homozygous mutant did not produce beta 1 integrin mRNA or protein, while alpha 3, alpha 5, and alpha 6 integrin subunits were transcribed but not detectable on the cell surface. Heterozygous mutants showed reduced beta 1 expression and surface localization of alpha/beta 1 heterodimers. The alpha V subunit expression was not impaired on any of the mutants. Homozygous ES cell mutants lacked adhesiveness for laminin and fibronectin but not for vitronectin and showed a reduced association with a fibroblast feeder layer. Furthermore, they did not migrate towards chemoattractants in fibroblast medium. None of these functions were impaired in heterozygous mutants. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that homozygous cells showed fewer cell-cell junctions and had many microvilli not usually found on wild type and heterozygous cells. This profound change in cell shape is not associated with gross alterations in the expression and distribution of cytoskeletal components. Unexpectedly, microinjection into blastocysts demonstrated full integration of homozygous and heterozygous mutants into the inner cell mass. This will allow studies of the consequences of beta 1 integrin deficiency in several in vivo situations.

And Stammerin’ Hank Johnson (D-GA) has proven it.
If Johnson’s name or face rings a bell, it’s not because he’s your mailman or the dude at the DMV last week who raised a stink about failing his driving test. He’s the guy who knocked off fellow mental midget Cynthia McKinney in the 2006 Democrat primary for the House seat he currently occupies. Turns out he suffers from hepatitis C, which usually afflicts drug addicts who share dirty needles, though Johnson and his wife deny any chance he could have gotten it that way. He has no idea how he contracted the disease, but he does admit that he has a hard time keeping his thoughts together.
No kidding. Though hepatitis doesn’t usually give rise to fears in its victims that whole islands will capsize like a canoe. And besides, we nutria don’t hang on Guam – so don’t you dare blame it on us.
Johnson was diagnosed with the disease in 1998. His response to contracting it was to launch a political career. Apparently being a Congressman was on his bucket list. Y’know, some people wanna go sky diving, some rob a bank and Stammerin’ Hank wanted to be Maxine Waters.
But Johnson’s scatterbrained condition didn’t prevent him from invoking the specter of the Ku Klux Klan as an imminent development in the event that South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson wasn’t censured for his “You Lie!” moment during President Obama’s State Of The Union speech. It’s racial, see. If Wilson had said anything else, Johnson woulda had him as Nathan Bedford Forrest by the weekend.
“He did not help the cause of diversity and tolerance with his remarks — if I were a betting man I would say it instigated more racist sentiment,” Johnson said Tuesday. “And so I guess we’ll probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside intimidating people. … That’s the logical conclusion if this kind of attitude is not rebuked, and Congressman Wilson represents it. He’s the face of it.”
What’s Hank the face of?

Prince Harry had hoped to take a more active role in the Queen’s state funeral, a body language expert has revealed.
The Duke of Sussex made his feelings known with a single gesture, Judi James has claimed, as she explained how one telling action had revealed his desire to be a more active participant in the proceedings.
Joined by his wife Meghan Markle for the state funeral at Westminster Abbey, the Prince appeared to be “emotionally broken” according to Judi, with a few clear tells present in his body language, that he wasn’t comfortable at all.
Speaking to the Sun, Judi said: "Following the coffin beside his brother there were some suppressed signals of tension, like the sucked-in lips.”
She then continued: "But when the coffin was being lowered he did a repeat of the shoulder-rolling gesture from the last walk.
"He appeared to not only be bracing or steeling himself for the service inside, but was also mimicking the gesture the coffin bearers were doing in what looked like a desire to take a more active role himself.”
Prince Harry also surprised mourners with his attire for the funeral, as he was once again wearing a morning suit rather than his military uniform.
The Duke had been given special permission to wear his military uniform during his and his cousins' vigil of the Queen's coffin on Saturday, but no such permission was granted for the funeral, with Harry wearing a traditional morning suit instead.
This was the same outfit he had previously worn to Prince Philip’s funeral last year.
Seated on the second row behind his brother Prince William, wife Kate and their two oldest children Prince George and Princess Charlotte, both Prince Harry and his own wife Meghan Markle appeared to be distant as they remained still throughout the poignant service.
Harry’s relationship with the royal family has been fraught with tensions in recent months, following an explosive tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired shortly after he and his wife had emigrated to the United States.
While many royal fans at home have been hoping for a reconciliation during Harry’s time in the UK, particularly after seeing the brothers support each other throughout the ten day mourning process so far, a source close to the family admitted it wasn’t quite so simple.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, a source said: "Their view is: 'We’ll be where we need to be and we won’t be where we don’t need to be’.”
Another added: "They are both just doing their jobs and will go back to their own lives after that. It’s all really sad.”

You may not believe it, but aromatherapy can be extremely useful in helping heal complicated emotional and medical problems. It can help promote a positive emotional state of being and has been proven to help deal with problems ranging from grief and anger issues to asthma, migraines and even chicken pox.
Aromatherapy is an effective healer due to the essential oils that are used in the treatment. The essential oils mesh naturally, which causes their molecules to create a synergy that is easily inhaled. This process allows the treatment to be absorbed into the body quickly, making aromatherapy work faster that most modern medicinal treatments.
The molecules released through aromatherapy will stimulate and affect portions of your brain. The triggers that it provides to the brain can produce emotions, can mask other types of emotions and can calm the body to allow additional treatments to work.
Most people dont realize it, but doubt, fear and anxiety can all work against their bodys natural attempt to heal itself. These harmful emotions can block pharmaceutical cures as well. Aromatherapy acts to calm the body and allow medicine to heal.
Aromatherapy is a form of therapy that is meant to you relax and to reduce stress.
Western medicine has long understood the counter-effect that stress has on any type of treatment regimen. Aromatherapy is practiced using essential oils and volatile plant oils to create psychological and physical sensations. It usually requires scented compounds created through volatile plant materials, essential oils, or similar herbal products and it is used as a form of alternative medicine in conjunction with other forms of treatment for positively affecting a persons health or mood.
If you are struggling with symptoms and dont believe in the medicinal power of aroma, then you are doing yourself and your health a disservice. People have been using aromatherapy for thousands of years to treat all types of different conditions. Are you willing to put your life at greater risk rather than try it for yourself?
Unlike acupuncture, chiropractice and other forms of alternative medicine, aromatherapy doesnt require a professional to administer the treatment. You can buy the essential oils and perform the treatment from the comfort of your own home. It is inexpensive and easy to do. It is one of the few effective remedies that you can do by yourself, without expensive doctor bills.
Learn how to help your body heal itself and just make sure that you are cynical about its effectiveness, that your health doesnt suffer.

Tonight sees what could be the biggest game and title decider for the 2010/11 season of the Barclays English Premiere League. Its Chelsea versus Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. It’s the day United win the League.
The fixture was originally supposed to take place in mid-December last year, but was postponed due to unrelenting snow and bad teeth of English mooiness (ok maybe not so much that last bit). The last time that Chelsea and Manchester United clashed, The Red Devils emerged victorious with a comfortable Community Shield win at Wembley, with Antonio Valencia, Dimitar Berbatov and Javier Hernandez amongst the scorers.
The match starts at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea sitting 15 points behind league leaders and best team in the World Manchester United. In the greater scheme of things- a victory for United would end all hopes of Chelsea hanging onto the title for this year as well as put the Red Devils 7 points clear of closest rivals Arsenal before they even had an opportunity to kick a ball in their next fixture. This is title decider in many ways with United still having to go to Liverpool to destroy some scousers.
As far as Chelsea goes Torres hasn’t really delivered much since switching over from Liverpool with The Blues struggling to play both Drogba and Torres in the same team. Both these strikers have a similar style and enjoy leading the line, with neither capable of dropping back to pick up the ball and make supporting runs in the same way that Anelka does. The Chelsea midfield has also been devoid of all creativity in recent times with most games boiling down to a full physical battle in the middle of the park for control of the ball. If the full backs are halted The Blues tend to struggle in attack as was seen in the recent Liverpool victory over Chelsea. They need to drag the United centre backs out wide if they have any hope of getting Essien and Lampard into the opposing box.
United started a horrendous run of fixtures with a 4-0 away win against Wigan, although to be honest be we were saved on two occasions by the brilliance of Edwin van der Sar. Smalling is looking to be an excellent acquisition, putting in quality performances alongside the goliath-like Vidic in the absence of the perpetually injured Rio Ferdinand. Bar Paul Scholes, the United midfield is really lacking creativity and it is going to need an exceptional display from the 17 season veteran alongside Fletcher to make sure that play is switching with enough speed to send the Chelsea defence reeling. This is by far going to be the biggest test of Manchester United title credentials this season.
Chelsea will attempt to overrun midfield to stifle any creativity from the United wingers, its going to be a physical battle, no doubt. The Red Devils will need to get the ball to their wings at every opportunity and hope that the leading goal assist holder, Nani will be able to conjure up some Portuguese magic. Fletcher’s energy in midfield will be vital in stopping the brilliant Frank Lampard from having an influence.
I sincerely hope that Fergie ditches the cautious approach and goes with a traditional 4-4-2 with Berbatov and Rooney upfront. Expect Chelsea to go with a diamond shape.
Im going with a 2-1 to United on this one. It’s going to be a cracker and I will be firmly glued to the screen screaming obscenities at Kreg while we win the league.
My probable line-ups:
Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Essien, Mikel, Lampard; Anelka, Torres, Malouda.
Manchester United: Van der Sar; O’Shea, Smalling, Vidic, Evra; Nani, Fletcher, Scholes, Giggs; Berbatov, Rooney.
Some interesting facts:
- Manchester United have not won at Stamford Bridge in the league since April 2002 when they secured a 3-0 victory courtesy of goals by Ruud van Nistelrooy, Paul Scholes and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
- Currently on loan at Sampdoria, Federico Macheda was the last Manchester United player to score for the Red Devils against Chelsea in the league.
- Manchester United’s last league win over Chelsea came over two years ago, in January 2009, when Nemanja Vidic, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov secured a 3-0 win at Old Trafford.
- If Dimitar Berbatov scores on Tuesday he will notch his 20th league goal of the season, his previous best was 15 for Spurs in 2007-08.
- Manchester’s United victory at Wigan was the first time this season they have won by more than one goal away from home in the league.
- Of the 36 meetings between the two sides in Premier League history, Chelsea have won 12, United 10 with the sides sharing 14 draws.
- Fernando Torres has yet to open his account for the Blues but has scored three goals for Liverpool against United.
- Since taking over the club in 2003 Roman Abramovich has never witnessed a United victory at Stamford Bridge.
- Chelsea have failed to score in their last two Premier League games, against Fulham and Liverpool.
- Nicolas Anelka is the joint top scorer in the Champions League with seven goals (alongside Mario Gomez and Samuel Eto’o) but has scored only six in the Premier League
And to end off I figured I’d include a little tune that you’ll hear coming from the United fans who make the trip to London to see the season’s biggest game go down-
Chelsea, are you listening? You’d better keep our trophy glistening. We’re coming back today, to take it all away… Walking in a Fergie-wonderland…

“Our house is on fire. I am here to say, our house is on fire.” Greta Thunberg (2019) puts it blatantly clear: our style of living is threatening our very existence; we are destroying the ground we live on – and if we do not radically change our conveniently arranged lives now, we won’t have the chance to turn the tide anymore. Living in a representative democracy, it is, however, not only us, the citizens, who have to act. Far-reaching decisions about environmental politics are taken by parliamentarians. Hence, we would probably want to know what delegates think about environmental issues and whether they act in accordance with these preferences.… Read More Can women save the environment? How female Members of the European Parliament make a difference on environmental legislation
In her recent publication in the Journal of Representation, Corinna Kroeber answers the question of how researchers can measure the substantive representation of ethnic minorities and women in comparative studies? Most research studying to what extent representatives and parliaments are considerate of traditionally excluded groups’ political interest focuses on single countries. This makes it difficult to study important questions such as whether or to what extent electoral incentives moderate the motivation of belonging legislators to advocate for their group’s political interests. Or, in which manner women’s or minority organizations outside parliaments promote feminist or minority-friendly legislations. To close these and similar research gaps, it is necessary to compare traditionally excluded groups in different country contexts.… Read More New publication: How to measure the substantive representation of traditionally excluded groups in comparative research?

In Reply We thank Provenzi et al for their insightful suggestions with regard to using prospective longitudinal studies, such as ours,1 to examine the effects of preterm birth and neonatal intensive care unit–related stress on the programming of health and disease in later life.
We agree that the risks associated with preterm birth are not simply limited to those associated with their intrauterine environment and delivery. Indeed, these pathways are complex and undoubtedly involve early postnatal stresses including those that infants experience in the neonatal intensive care unit. These include adverse environmental and complex medical and pain pathways that are under study by many investigators for their role in the development of later mental and chronic health conditions in former premature infants. It is also important to note that the physiological and psychological stresses that contribute to risk and resilience in preterm survivors likely continue beyond the neonatal intensive care unit.2 Our work in 2016 has shown that later postnatal exposures, such as exposure to bullying,3 increase the risk of psychiatric problems in adulthood, while other factors that might be expected to be linked to elevated risk (eg, motor coordination problems) do not.4 Such findings not only highlight the complexity of these pathways but also that intervening on certain modifiable exposures could have the potential to improve the health and well-being of these individuals across the lifespan.

Online bingo with a twist
Parlay Entertainment has announced the release of a new pioneering bingo game, Bingo Bets, which will change the way people play bingo. In the landmark release, players will now be able to place fixed-odds bets on upcoming bingo games.
Bingo Bets has been fully integrated into the existing Parlay bingo software and allows players to see the progress of both their purchased bingo cards and their Bingo Bets simultaneously.
Nine different types of wagers will be available, including Bingo War, where players wager on the next number being higher or lower than the previous ball, and Oddly Enough, where players place a wager on there being more odd balls than even or not.
"Bingo Bets is an innovative feature that sets our bingo product apart from anything else on the market," says Perry Malone, CTO, Parlay Entertainment.
“Bingo players are sure to love the increased excitement that comes from additional chances to win at bingo and operators will appreciate the fact that it offers a new profit centre for their business,” he added.

The trends in American society both among professionals (doctors) and the lay public are generally in favor of routine cancer screening, most commonly prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing for men and mammography for women, and colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy for all. Thus, perhaps it should come as no surprise that, according to a new online poll conducted by the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, physicians are not discussing with patients the risks of overdiagnosis or overtreatment all-too-often associated with these screenings. In fact, about 92 percent of the 317 men and women surveyed said they were not told about possible harms associated with these cancer screenings.
Researchers drew study participants between the ages of 50 and 69 from the U.S. panel of Survey Sampling International in 2010. Of the 8 percent of patients who were told about the risks of overdiagnosis/overtreatment, only one of those patients was given correct risk estimates. But, 8 out of 10 people surveyed said they wanted to know the risk and a third of patients who had not received screening but were informed of the risks, used this information to decide not to receive screening.
Dr. Neil H. Brooks, former president of the American Academy of Family Physicians highlights one of the key problems with this type of survey: recall bias. He says, A patient who is worried about cancer may indeed not remember details of an explanation about risks of a screening procedure because their focus is on obtaining the service, and the perceived risk of cancer far outweighs the intellectual argument about harms of treatment. He also adds that many doctors are themselves not aware of the specific degree of risks associated with screening and even if they are, they find it hard to communicate those risks to patients. Furthermore, the number one reason for lawsuits against primary care doctors is failure to diagnose cancer, and therefore physicians are often overly cautious. Potential solutions, according to Dr. Odette Wegwarth, will address these issues.
ACSH s Dr. Gilbert Ross adds, The implications of overdiagnosis and overtreatment which are bound to occur as a result of screening especially if screening is conducted promiscuously are extremely important to consider when deciding whether or not to undergo these tests. The fact that many doctors are unaware of the associated risks needs to be addressed in the medical community so that patients can make informed decisions about their healthcare.
