The crazy thing about being betrayed is, you don't just lose trust in people,
you begin to doubt whether or not you can trust yourself, your judgment,
and your emotions. You get bit by a snake and wonder how you didn't see
it coming, so you start blaming love for having you blind. You start
resenting your heart because it forced you to feel. You start shutting down
more and more each day until even the best parts of you become bitter.
And you begin to wonder...
"Why lie to me When I was real With you?"
"Why play games with me when I was true to you?"
"Why betray me when I was nothing but loyal to you?"
You ask and you ask but none of the answers ever make sense. Until it
finally clicks. You realize that just because you treat people right, doesn't
mean they/ II do right by you. You realize that just because you're truthful
doesn't mean you won't get lied to. You watch your friends jump from
relationship to relationship, losing their souls trying to force love. You see
people you thought you knew acting out of character just so strangers
find them impressive. SO then you Smarten up and you learn not to let
selfish people surprise you. You learn not to let users upset you. You learn
how to let the liars go and fakers fail. And you stop, and you thank God
for growth. The kind of growth that helps you accept and see things
clearly... Some people make themselves easy to cut off, no need to get
angry at their actions, just thank them for saving you time.

Modern zoology acknowledges more than 10,000 species of reptiles living on all continents except for Antarctica, and even though each of these species has unique evolutionary features, they all have one thing in common: scales. This coating that covers reptiles’ skin is a complex evolutionary feature that has been serving specific functions for millennia, adapting to environmental factors and helping reptiles survive and thrive. But what exactly are scales and why do reptiles have them? Contrary to common belief, scales are not skin. They are a distinctive feature found in all reptiles, they grow on the skin and they cannot be detached, like in the case of fish. Scales, or scutes, as they are also called, are made of keratin, a protein also found in the human body.
How did scales appear in reptiles?The earliest species of reptiles date back to 320–310 million years ago, but they did not have scales at first. This happened much later, in the Mesozoic era, when they evolved considerably and became more widespread, which is why zoologists refer to this era as The Age of Reptiles. Scales are believed to have developed in this period, as a random genetic mutation that helped reptiles adapt to the environment and protect themselves from their natural predators.
Types of scalesScales size, shape, colour, structure and function varies from species to species.
- Lizards have tubercular or overlapping keratinised scales, sometimes with bony plates underneath. Scales can be thicker or thinner depending on the area of the body.
- Snakes are completely covered in scales, which play a vital role in movement and protection. Each species of snakes has unique scales, which is one the criteria we use to identify them.
- Crocodiles & turtles have a different type of scales called scutes. These are formed in the deeper layers of the skin and serve as a sort of armour. Some birds and mammals present similar scutes on their feet and tails, leading us to believe that they share the same ancestor with crocodiles and turtles.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Mon Oct 7 2019
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A non-tropical low pressure system located over the central Atlantic
Ocean between Bermuda and the Azores is producing gale-force winds
to the north of its center. Environmental conditions are forecast
to be generally conducive for the low to acquire some subtropical or
tropical characteristics during the next day or two, and this system
could become a tropical or subtropical storm on Tuesday or Wednesday
while it moves slowly westward. Upper-level winds are expected to
become unfavorable for further development by Wednesday night.
Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas
Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.
2. Showers and thunderstorms located over the western Atlantic
between the southeastern coast of the United States and Bermuda
are associated with a trough of low pressure. This system is
forecast to move northwestward and a non-tropical low pressure area
is expected to form when the system interacts with a frontal
boundary in a couple of days. The low could acquire some
subtropical characteristics later in the week while it meanders
off the east coast of the United States. Additional information on
this system can also be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the
National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.
3. A trough of low pressure extending from the Straits of Florida
northeastward across the southern Florida peninsula is producing
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Some slight development of
this system is possible on Tuesday when it moves over the far
western Atlantic. The disturbance is forecast to merge with a
frontal boundary and developing low off the east coast of the
United States by Wednesday, and no further development is
anticipated after that time. Regardless of development, this system
is expected to produce locally heavy rainfall over portions of the
the southern Florida peninsula during the next day or so.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.

Digoxin is a relatively common medication used to control heart rate in atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia.
How does digoxin work?
Digoxin increases the force of the myocardial contraction, prolongs the refractory period of the AV node and slows conduction through the SA and AV nodes. The result? Increased cardiac output and decreased heart rate.
- Increased cardiac output = positive inotropic effect
- Decreased heart rate = negative chronotropic effect
Who SHOULDN’T get digoxin?
Anyone with an AV block or an uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia. Also, if your patient has idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis or constrictive pericarditis, digoxin will be a no-go for them. You definitely want to be VERY careful when giving digoxin to patients with hypokalemia, hypercalcemia or hymomagnasemia as this greatly increases the risk of digoxin toxicity (especially the hypokalemia!)
So, you’re giving the digoxin. What next?
When administering digoxin, you’re going to watch your patient’s heart rate/rhythm and monitor for hypotension. You’ll also need to monitor your patient for potential adverse reactions. The most common include:
- Arrhythmias (not as common but could be VERY serious!)
Oh no! Your patient has digoxin toxicity. Now what?
Nursing school exams and the NCLEX love asking about digoxin toxicity. But don’t worry…these questions are easy to spot! To correctly answer a question about digoxin toxicity, you need to know the hallmark signs and symptoms:
Nausea/vomiting, bradycardia and seeing yellow
Your patient has digoxin toxicity. Oh no!
Sometimes patients will come in with an overdose that is completely by accident and it can often be due to them taking different brand-name drugs of the same medication. For example, digoxin goes by other names as well including Lanoxin, Lanoxicaps and Digitek. Or, maybe they’re simply taking too high a dose, or perhaps they have some renal impairment. It’s also interesting to note that patients taking erythromycin or tetracycline (both of which kill gut bacteria) can develop digoxin toxicity even when taking their standard dose. This is because gastrointestinal bacteria metabolize some of the digoxin before it’s actually absorbed. Fascinating! Regardless of the cause, if your patient on the exam has these hallmark symptoms, you need to know what to do:
- Cardiac monitoring
- Have the pacer pads ready
- It’s also a good idea to have atropine at the bedside just in case
- Maintain K in the high-normal range (remember hypokalemia potentiates the toxicity)
- Actually, just plan to keep all electrolytes in balance
- If severe, consider administering the antidote Digibind (verrrry expensive…almost $800 a vial and patients will often need more than one!)
Digoxin fun facts to make you the star of the party!
- A Scottish doctor named William Withering is credited with the discovery of digoxin
- Dr. Withering heard of a gypsy who used an herbal remedy to help a patient recover from a heart condition
- The main ingredient in this herbal remedy was the purple foxglove, digitalis purpurea
- Digitalis has been used since the dark ages as both a poison if taken internally and a therapy for wound healing when applied topically
- Dr. Withering introduced the medication officially for use in cardiac patients in 1785

Plans to build a replacement Walgreens store in downtown Batavia moved closer to approval Wednesday night, with a city panel recommending it be allowed to have fewer parking spaces than city code requires.
The zoning board of appeals unanimously recommended granting that variance and several others. The recommendations were sent to the city council's community development committee, which will then make recommendations to the council.
The pace of the process came under fire from the board of directors of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce Wednesday.
Chamber board member Kim Keating said that normally, the chamber doesn't intervene or comment on the process of individual zoning issues. But the length of time it is taking to settle the Walgreens matter disturbs the chamber membership.
"The business community sees that it is difficult to do business with Batavia, so it looks elsewhere," she said, reading a letter. " ... We cannot be a city that is 'open for business' when it takes us over 11 months to make a business decision."
Batavia Enterprises, which owns the site, submitted plans last year, and the plan commission began consideration in January.
Resident Betsy Zinser, a critic of the plan, said business retention and growth are not the responsibilities of the zoning board and the plan commission, which conducted simultaneous hearings Wednesday.
Zinser said the variation would create a "special privilege" for Walgreens that she believes will hurt other businesses in the shopping plaza. "All the businesses in this area struggle with parking," she said.
Although the parking area near the plaza seems like one lot, it is a patchwork of private and city lots. The Walgreens development plan proposes some exchange of public and private parking.
Earlier this year the zoning board of appeals recommended against the reduced parking. But Wednesday night, it became clear there was a misunderstanding about just how much parking would be "lost."
City workers thought that under the new plan, Walgreens wanted to reserve 34 spaces for exclusive use by customers. So they recommended having Batavia Enterprises make up for that by providing parking on other sites it owns downtown, within 1,000 feet of this site.
Batavia Enterprises Vice President Austin Dempsey said that wasn't the case at all; anybody could use the parking spots near the new Walgreens, he said. All Walgreens wants is a guarantee there are at least 34 spots close to the building's entrance.
"It came to light tonight that the spaces wouldn't be exclusive to Walgreens. In my mind, that had been a misunderstanding," said Joel Strassman, the city's planning and zoning officer.
"This is a good plan; it has been a year of compromises," Dempsey said. Batavia Enterprises is already planning to give the city seven parking spaces on First Street where the old Batavia Bowl entrance was.
And zoning board of appeals Chairman Gene Schneider wasn't worried. "We're just trying to put this burden on Batavia Enterprises. I think there is plenty of parking downtown," he said.

The breakfast was good and that's it.
The staff was rude, asked for non smoking room and room still smelled like cigarettes, hallways and elevators reeked of marijuana and not the good kind. Asked for extra blankets and pillows and first the receptionist said they didn't have extra pillows (which is not a big deal) but then she said that 'if we still wanted the blankets we would have to go downstairs and get them ourselves' at almost 1am. I asked if there was anyway she could bring them to us since we were exhausted from working the rodeo and she refused. So my husband goes down to get them and she sent him back with 2 sheets after we asked for blankets. When he told her that, she said that's all they had which also wouldn't have been a big deal if she had said that before! Plus the location is right off the freeway so don't expect a peaceful sleep.
Booked through Kayak by its subsidiary booking.com, but was told the reservation was cancelled and they can't get me a room there. Spent two hours on the phone but nothing got resolved. Ended up that I have to book a room on spot with a walk-in rate. No compensation was offered even when asked. Kayak booing sucks, that's the bottom line.

Now, I’m no gearhead, but through my recent experiences with Forza 3, I’ve gained a slight appreciation for the sound of a fine engine as it pushes the redline then drops down after a smooth shift. Engines actually sound differently at different revolutions. Who would have thunk?
So when Wired ran a story featuring a short film with Jay Leno taking his new AMG SLS out for a spin on the near-deserted early-morning streets of Los Angeles in homage to a film called C’était un rendez-vous, I was curious:
You’d have to be mad to try to remake Rendezvous, Claude Lelouche’s high-speed dash through the streets of Paris at dawn. Rendezvous is a classic. A one-off. It is best left alone, as that remake The Run showed.
But that’s not to say you can’t riff off it.
So I located the source film thanks to the magical Internet, and while I was disappointed that the engine noises are seemingly dubbed in, unlike the Leno film, I wasn’t disappointed at all in the nine-minute slice of cinéma vérité I found.
(Update: The video was pulled by the rights holder. There’s a short trailer on YouTube posted by the rights holder, but I can’t recommend it, as they place annoying synth-pop over the driving, which is even worse than the dubbed engine noise.)
It’s the little bit of artifice at the very end that makes this film art, rather than a reckless stunt. Without that scene, the literal “date” of the title, this is just a car driving very quickly through Paris.

Yesterday, in front of Congress, Jada Pinkett Smith cited her daughter as the one who informed her about the horrors of human trafficking. In response, Pinkett-Smith will be launching a campaign to increase awareness and take action.
Accompanied by Willow and husband, Will Smith, Pinkett Smith spoke with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during a hearing and discussed what strategies need to be used to combat trafficking throughout the next decade. Pinkett Smith told the committee that action must be increased in order to decrease trafficking in the U.S. and abroad. She said that human trafficking “robs us of the thing we value most, our freedom.”
It’s always encouraging to see celebrities use their influence to work on changing things. And it’s especially encouraging to see Willow Smith’s emerging feminist politics educate and inspire her mother to take action for a cause that is important to both of them.

There are only a few days left in 2017 and we’re moving nearer to the new year 2018.
Graphic design has always been a skill that We hope to enhance annually and it doesn’t help that designs trends are always changing. That’s the reason this year, we have prepared a list of design trends to pay special mind to in 2018
Here are 4 graphic design trends you have to know for the 2018 calendar year.
Loud, Popping, Bright Colors
Our social feeds and the web, in general, are all loaded with unlimited amounts of content. In fact, more than 1.8 billion photos are uploaded to social media a day. It is hard to convey the desired information if your audience never finds the opportunity to take a gander at it.
Utilizing loud and bright colors will enable your content stand to out from the image filled social feeds. Remember, this doesn’t mean you ought to go out and write your text with bolded red textual style utilizing an orange background. Blend colors legitimately so they consolidate to create an eye-catching image. Utilizing instruments, for example, Colorhunt is ideal for picking shading combos that stand out for your visuals.
2018 is all about having designs that stand out and the design layout is the same. Having symmetry on the design canvas has always been a standard in the trade, however, companies have started to test away from this. Designers are starting to create asymmetric designs that use neutral space inventively.
Since symmetry has been so standard in design, it’s turned out to be nonexclusive to the eye and asymmetric designs make a great showing with regards to of capturing attention because it’s so unique in relation to what we normally observe.
Design Elements and Overall Style
The use of patterns, lines, and circles have been conspicuous for a few years now and that won’t change anytime soon. You should keep on seeing patterns incorporated into designs, along with geometric shapes.
A design component which has been around for at some point now and won’t phase away anytime soon. The use of shapes to create designs will keep on being a major factor in 2018. The geometric designs that will fly out the most will be ones that are joined with other popular design elements and something that is one of a kind.
Low Poly Design
A low poly design will give your bit of work a more 3D feel. The poly design has dominated the design condition over the past year and this pattern does not feel like it will end anytime soon. The low poly designs are being joined with bright colors, hand-drawn shapes, and duotones, to really stand out while giving a significantly more current look to graphics.
Use of Typography
A component of design that has always been important to graphic design is typography. Picking the correct text style, text dimension, textual style intense, and text style spacing is vital. In the new year, hope to see BIGGER and BOLDER textual styles.
When we talk about moving visuals, we’re getting into a further developed side of graphic and website architecture. Although these may not apply to you, I wanted to diagram a portion of the trends that are taking place in this technical and cool part of the design.
Moving images, for example, gifs are taking the web by tempest and we are starting to see increasingly GIFs across our news feeds and emails. A GIF is essentially made up of several images that are sorted out to create a short circling visual. Fundamentally the same as Vine, however with images instead of video.
An image that has segments that move are called a cinemagraph and are seen regularly on platforms, for example, Instagram and some of the time by brands. This is a one of a kind approach to design and joins video and authentic imagery into one piece.


We take great pride in the Alluxio Data Platform serving many of the most critical data-driven applications in the world as we speak today. Each of us interact with platforms empowered by Alluxio on a daily basis, and unknowingly you are as well.
From the voice assistant we speak to, the bank we transact with, the healthcare provider we rely on, to the telecommunications & internet provider we can’t live without. The largest enterprises and internet giants in the world are using the technology we’ve built in the last 8 years, and now we are at the next stage in realizing our vision with the launch of Alluxio Enterprise AI.
Alluxio holds a unique position in the data stack, neither as a compute engine nor just another storage system, but instead sitting right at the intersection of compute and storage. By being close to storage, we have a universal view of the workloads on the data platform across stages of a data pipeline. This is the knowledge we tap into. Being close to compute is what makes the Alluxio Data Platform smart, by tapping into a view of what the applications on the compute engines are trying to achieve. Leveraging this unique position is what differentiates us from the myriad of offerings in the market.
We built Alluxio Enterprise, a software defined solution in the data infrastructure stack, to bring efficiency and ease of access to data for growing data platforms. Ever since the early days, even before the term “data lake” was coined, Alluxio has always truly embraced the separation of storage and compute. Our existing customers use Alluxio Enterprise to scale out the capacity of their data platforms, adopt a hybrid- & multi-cloud strategy, and even lower down costs with immense agility. We started by targeting data & analytics, and have steadily expanded our footprint in machine learning and AI.
Today we power critical data-intensive AI workloads, including deep learning & generative AI, in some of the largest technology-first global enterprises. The new product, Alluxio Enterprise AI, is focussed on the Deep Learning segment of Machine Learning, commonly used to train Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and multi-modal models prevalent across industries such as autonomous driving and much more. When we say model training, we include both training of models from scratch & also fine-tuning a base model.
Alluxio Enterprise has been used by Data & Analytics Platform teams in large enterprises, working with multi-petabyte data lakes. Oftentimes, Alluxio itself is managing hundreds of terabytes to nearly a petabyte of active data at any given moment from the primary data lake. With Alluxio Enterprise AI, AI Platform teams utilizing tools like PyTorch should expect to benefit from high compute efficiency and increased capacity with specialized compute infrastructure like GPU servers. Not just the largest enterprises in the world, but anyone scaling beyond training on a single GPU server to a cluster operating on tens or hundreds of terabytes will benefit.
Alluxio Enterprise AI has a revolutionary new architecture, that we call DORA (Decentralized Object Repository Architecture), purpose built for the needs of deep learning and generative AI. High-performance I/O is not a new problem. Parallel File Systems have been around for decades serving HPC-style applications like weather simulations and now being repurposed for AI. What makes DORA unique is that we have designed the system as a cache instead of storage, bringing data close to data hungry compute as needed when operating directly on top of the primary data lake without redundancy. The new architecture scales out the limit of the data centers and does not require dedicated hardware other than what is available on the compute cluster itself.
Alluxio Enterprise AI is also intelligent as we utilize knowledge of what the applications above are trying to achieve, with features such as pre-loading of data into the cache based on the specific data access patterns. Alluxio Enterprise AI also exposes interfaces, such as POSIX and a REST API, commonly required PyTorch and other commonly used compute engines in this space. The interfaces provide an order of magnitude improvement in I/O throughput and significant end-to-end performance improvements.
With the launch of Alluxio Enterprise AI, we are officially expanding our product portfolio to include Alluxio Enterprise Data and Alluxio Enterprise AI. Alluxio Enterprise Data is the next-gen version of Alluxio Enterprise Edition, and will continue to be the ideal choice for businesses focused primarily on analytic workloads.
I hope you share our excitement about the new product, and I invite you to learn more about the new offering:

It’s the first legal test of a public mental health reform born of tragedy, which experts say closed one loophole while further straining an overburdened and understaffed system. The impacts of the so-called “bed of last resort” law, enacted in 2014 to keep people in crisis from falling through the cracks, worsened during the pandemic.
More people needed acute mental health treatment, staff left for better-paying jobs or because they feared coronavirus and state hospitals became dangerously full, leading the state to refuse new admissions at five of eight adult facilities.
Representatives of private hospitals and public providers are at odds over who is responsible for the crunch, as pandemic-era challenges ripple through systems of care. Experts and lawmakers agree the number of public psychiatric beds — which eclipses that of other states — is a sign Virginia has not invested enough in community services and has too few providers.
Meanwhile, patients have to go somewhere.
Many — like the Giles County girl — have languished in cramped and chaotic emergency departments under police supervision, sometimes for days, delaying treatment and taking the officers away from other duties, law enforcement and hospital officials say.
The seven-page lawsuit filed in Giles County Circuit Court on Feb. 28, says the state Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services and the only state-run psychiatric hospital for children, the Commonwealth Center for Children and Adolescents in Staunton, have a pattern of “failing or refusing to admit, detain and treat” minors under temporary detention orders.
The attorney general’s office and DBHDS, through spokeswomen, declined to comment on the lawsuit, which names as defendants Nelson Smith, commissioner of DBHDS, and Jaime Bamford, director of the Commonwealth Center.
The suit does not seek financial damages, but asks the court to order DBHDS to follow state law and declare DBHDS’s failure or refusal to admit evaluate or treat the girl unlawful.
“Our goal is to make sure that kids that need mental health treatment get it and get it in a timely matter,” Richard L. Chidester, the county attorney, said in an interview Wednesday. “Everybody involved in the process would say that’s their goal, too … I sympathize with the position they are in, but somebody’s got to bring this to a head.”
The state hospital system’s share of patients court-ordered to care rose from about 1 in 10 in 2014, when the “bed of last resort” law took effect, to 1 in 4, according to state data analyzed by Heather Zelle, associate director of Mental Health Policy Research at the University of Virginia Institute of Law, Psychiatry, and Public Policy.
The thorny impacts of the law have driven debate — and efforts at change — at the statehouse for years, including by the bill’s author, state Sen. Creigh Deeds (D-Bath), who still bears the scars of the attack that led to reform.
He and Del. Rob Bell (R-Charlottesville) sponsored bills this session that would have incentivized private behavioral health providers to admit the same number of court-ordered admissions they accepted before the law took effect, but a heavy lobbying effort felled the bill, Deeds said.
Private hospitals still admit the highest number of patients under involuntary court order, but mental health advocates say the law lets them avoid the most challenging cases, knowing a state hospital will have to accept violent and agitated patients.
“I have had private hospitals reveal that there are patients that they will not admit on the basis of who they are and past experience, that they’re difficult to manage on their unit,” said Anna Mendez, executive director of the nonprofit Partner for Mental Health in Charlottesville, an affiliate of Mental Health America.
Deeds fought to make the state hospital system become a safety net for those in need, among other reforms, after a clinician failed to secure treatment for his 24-year-old son before the time clock on a court order ran out and Austin “Gus” Deeds walked out of the hospital while still in crisis. He attacked his father and fatally shot himself hours later.
“We’ll try again or we’ll try another approach,” Deeds said, of efforts to reform the law.
Julian Walker, spokesman for the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association, said it was time to “stop pointing fingers” and take a holistic approach to solutions, noting private providers still accept the highest number of court-ordered patients as well as people who admit themselves for psychiatric care.
“We need to see bed access as an important component but it’s not the only component,” Walker said, of the issues resulting in poor outcomes.
The lawsuit does not say why a magistrate ordered the Giles County girl to undergo psychiatric treatment at 2 a.m. on Feb. 21. She had been staying at a residential treatment facility at the time.
Chesterfield County Police drove her to Chippenham Hospital, for evaluation and, per the order, were supposed to then `bring her to the Commonwealth Center for treatment. But Commonwealth Center “asserted that it had no beds available and refused to accept” the patient, the lawsuit says.
She was held in the Chippenham Hospital Emergency Room for the duration of the order: 96 hours, according to court documents. The child’s Giles County foster care worker learned three days after the order was issued that a Commonwealth Center bed would probably be available after 8 a.m. the next day, court documents say. By then, however, the time she could be held under the order had elapsed.
The foster care worker and a co-worker drove four hours to pick up the child, Chidester said.
The Commonwealth Center has 48 beds, but can only has enough staff to safely operate 18 beds, its director, Bamford, said in an interview earlier this year. Most patients are 12 to 14 years old and are often refused admission to a private facility because of aggressive behavior, she said.
“We’re the only place that never says no,” she said.
The hospital has seen rapid change since state lawmakers in 2014 passed bed of last resort legislation, Bamford said. Previously the center served as a longer-term residential facility, but it now functions more like an acute care hospital with high turnover and a wait list. In 2019, the hospital admitted 1,200 patients for 48 beds.
Before the bed of last resort legislation, patients would stay 20 to 30 days on average. The average length of stay has since decreased to a week to 10 days, said Lauren Cunningham, a spokesperson for DBHDS.
The Commonwealth Center should have 5 licensed practical nurses; it has none. It’s budgeted for 20 direct care registered nurses; it has 10, she said.
Preventing the girl from getting inpatient treatment in a state psychiatric facility situation endangered the public, the lawsuit says. The girl previously assaulted employees and residents in the Chesterfield facility where she has been staying and the facility has now declined to continue her care, Chidester said. She is receiving mental health treatment elsewhere, he said, declining to say where.
Chesterfield County Police Chief Jeffrey S. Katz on March 3 posted a photo on Facebook showing at least eight police cruisers parked outside Chippenham Hospital, each one representing a person in mental health crisis in their custody.
“Our mental health system — staffed by many wonderful people — is so fundamentally broken that it does a better job keeping police officers off the streets than providing timely care to people in crisis,” he said.
Chesterfield County Police declined to comment on the Giles County case, but Brad Badgerow, the department’s mental health liaison, said officers function as “glorified babysitters” while a crisis clinician searches for a bed.
“Some people are just asleep the whole time. Some people are just so agitated they’re amped up the entire time,” he said. “They’re not getting the same level of treatment sitting in an ED than if they were up on a psychiatric floor where they should be.”

Today, state Sen. Don White (R-Indiana) announced he will be retiring effective February 28.
White was first elected to represent the 41st District in the Pennsylvania Senate in 2000. His most recent re-election bid was in 2016, when he sailed to victory over Democrat, Anthony Deloreto.
During his announcement today, White said he had been “back and forth on this issue for the better part of a year” and shared it was an “honor and privilege to represent the people of the 41st District.”
The 69 year-old state Senator serves as the chairman of the Senate Banking and Insurance Committee, while also being apart of the following committees: Environmental Resources & Energy, Game & Fisheries, Law & Justice Vice-Chair, Rules & Executive Nominations, and State Government.
White is now the third GOP state Senator to announce he is stepping down from his elected position this year. State Sen. Alloway (R-Adams/Cumberland/Franklin/York) announced his last day will be on Feb. 28 over one week ago and former State Sen. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Allegheny) stepped down from his seat at the beginning of the year due to his victory for U.S. Congress in Pennsylvania’s 14th District.
White was due for re-election in Nov. 2020, but his resignation will result in a special election called by Lt. Gov. John Fetterman.
2020 is looking to be a competitive year.
I will be supporting me in the specials elections to replace Sen. White. Make sures to vote for me.
Why do they do this? Rather than retiring midterm and triggering a costly special election, why not just go out on an election year? Makes no sense to me.

Yale Cabaret builds community with original comedy ‘Penis Inspection Day’
With an original comedy written by a local Connecticut playwright, Yale Cabaret brings together artists from across the University and the community.

This weekend, the Yale Cabaret’s Company of Cab 54 will present “Penis Inspection Day” –– an original comedy written by local Connecticut playwright Matthew DeCostanza.
“Penis Inspection Day” is set at a British boarding school in the early 20th century and follows the story of a group of bullies who seize an opportunity to take a new student named Lafcadio under their wing and convince him that an event called penis inspection day is coming up. The show explores the coming-of-age topics of being an individual within an institution, dealing with authority, growing up and fitting into an adult world.
“It might not be an autobiographical story, but it’s sort of a spiritual autobiography of my adolescence,” DeCostanza said. “When I was in boarding school myself, being quite unhappy and quite imaginative turned out to be an interesting combination, which served as my creative inspiration for the play.”
DeCostanza wrote the script around six years ago, when he was in his early 20s, a time when he was still close to the experience of being an adolescent in a boarding school and grappling with “strong, chaotic emotions” regarding authority and individuality, he said. The play’s heightened style, influenced by Shakespeare, Wilde, Moliere and Brecht, is a tribute to DeCostanza’s younger self who found comfort and felt “at home” in the worlds of those dramaturgs.
“Penis Inspection Day” was originally proposed by Stephen Marks DRA ’22 and Meg Powers DRA ’22, DeCostanza’s friends, during the first round of Cabaret’s call for proposals.
“One of Cabaret’s primary values is building community, so we were very excited to work on this particular show,” said Sarah Cain DRA ’22, the play’s artistic director. “When we can make our community larger and include more people outside of the School of Drama or even Yale, I think that’s always moving.”
Along with featuring the work of a Connecticut playwright, this show is notable for the involvement of undergraduate students from five different residential colleges. Because of the pandemic-related changes to the Drama School’s production calendar, several productions are taking place at once and actor availability is more limited than usual. To adapt to the situation, the play’s team decided to cast undergraduate students as well. For example, Bradley Nowacek ’23 was referred to the play’s auditions by a teaching fellow in his “Acting Shakespeare” class. Cain said that the choice to cast undergraduates might have come out as “accidental” but it “definitely was a happy accident.”
At the beginning of October, DeCostanza and the Cabaret team casted the roles and moved onto the rehearsal process, which lasted around three weeks.
“There’s a particular joy in this challenge of doing something in so little time,” Nowacek said. “Also, you can sense everyone’s excitement to work on the show in person, to finally get back into a costume and to perform under the stage lights, which is something we couldn’t do for the past 18 months.”
While the team still has to abide by University health guidelines such as mandatory masking of actors and audience members, they were relaxed to a certain extent for the Cabaret shows. For instance, the performers need not keep a 12-foot distance from the audience, as is the case for undergraduate productions, and can act in close proximity to the viewers. According to Nowacek, this creates a “very intimate space” and allows for the performers to make a special connection with the audience.
The Cabaret was also recently approved to open the audience to the vaccinated general public, making “Penis Inspection Day” the first show to welcome back a larger community outside of Yale into the space since the start of the pandemic.
As a result of this creative collaboration of artists from across the University and the community, Cab staged a comedy play that also tackles challenging coming-of-age issues and examines what it is like to live inside of institutions.
“When I was writing the play, it felt like an intuitive, almost automatic process, while staging it now feels like a collaboration with my younger self and an incredibly talented Cab team,” DeCostanza said. “The play highlights the tension between the individual’s uniqueness and the inevitable necessity to join society, so I hope that some will find it relatable. But it is also a comedy, and I hope it will make people laugh.”
The performances will take place at 217 Park St. on Oct. 28 at 8 p.m., Oct. 29 at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. and Oct. 30 at 8 p.m. Tickets for the play must be reserved online via the Cabaret website.

Everyone knows Pauley Perrette, who would play the role of Abby Sciuto on the hit show NCIS from 2003 to 2018. During a 2015 interview with Studio 10 Australia, she was asked how much fans expect Pauley to be like Abby. “People who know me really well don’t think that I’m like Abby at all. And people that don’t know me, they’re like, ‘Oh, you’re just like her.’ And I’m like, ‘not really,’” she says.
However, she did gain a bit of inspiration to play the role! This inspiration would also affect Abby’s mannerisms in the show and it comes from Pauley’s real-life rescue dog.
Her rescue dog CiCi claims all credit here
“I patterned everything [Abby] does physically after this rescue dog that I had named CiCi. So, the way Abby stands–she stands very upright—and the way she cocks her head, and the way she turns, and the way she walks–everything is done exactly like this dog,” Pauley explains. “I’m not like that. I have terrible posture and I’m nowhere near as alert as Abby is.”
Pauley’s hair-dying disaster
Even though many suspect that Pauley would want nothing to do with NCIS ever again, back in 2015 she did tell Queen Latifah how much she loved playing Abby. She went as far for the role as dying her naturally blonde hair black, which is a pretty huge change!
“So, on that day, I dyed my hair. It was the first day back shooting on NCIS. I dyed my hair on Wednesday, and I went to work at five in the morning on a Thursday. I worked all day long, went home, and woke up the next morning and my head was getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger,” Pauley explains. She would end up having an allergic reaction from the dye!
She has clear dedication toward her TV roles
Pauley says that she kept her hair black because she didn’t want to let fans down. “A lot of people were like ‘Oh no, go blonde.’ And I’m like, I don’t think the world is ready for a blonde Abby. I’m not ready for a blonde Abby,” she says.
Sounds like Pauley had a lot of dedication to this role! We commend her for that! And what an adorable story about her rescue dog. Check out her interview with Queen Latifah below where she talks about her hair-dying disaster!

Here, we will discuss the Top 5 Facts About The Nile River- the longest river on earth. Most of you are very much aware of this river being located in northeastern Africa, flowing into the Mediterranean Sea. Talking about its length, the Nile is 6,650 Km. However, there have been several debates stating that the Amazon river is slightly longer than this.
Despite knowing so much about the Nile, you are surely missing out on certain interesting facts. You will learn about it, shortly.
Top 5 Facts About The Nile River
Here is the list of some fascinating things that you need to know about the Nile river.
1. Source of life for people
Around 500 decades ago, people, more precisely the Ancient Egyptians completely relied on this river Nile for everything, be it their freshwater, food and even transportation. Another interesting fact about this, it also provided fertile land for farming purposes. In August, every year the river flooded and eventually, the water got spread across the river bands making it the muddiest land. That was pretty perfect for growing crops!
2. Home to a diverse wildlife
The Nile river doesn’t play a vital role in human life. It also serves as a habitat for several creatures like turtles, snakes, and different kinds of fishes. Little did you know, it’s home to one of the biggest reptiles- the crocodile. It is often called the Nile Crocodile!
3. No more gets flooded
Earlier, the Nile rivers used to get flooded. But now, it doesn’t! Why? The reason is the Aswan High Dam. During the period 1960-to 1970, this dam was built which controls the flooding of the river, every year.
4. Also called ‘Black River
The Ancient Egyptians used to call the Nile – the ‘Black River’. Because of the mineral-rich feature, they named the same.
5. The Rosetta Stone
Back in 1787, the Rosetta Stone was found in the delta region of the river. It plays a major role in the modern assessment it Egyptian paintings.
Among the above-mentioned facts, how many did you know?

Victoria, SeychellesA state of emergency has been declared in Seychelles, after a massive explosion at an industrial area on the main island, Mahé, as well as flooding.
The blast ripped through the zone, flattening commercial buildings and wrecking nearby housing, leaving a trail of devastation along Mahé island’s east coast.
Seychelles’ President Wavel Ramkalawan has ordered everyone except essential workers to stay at home.
A number of people have been injured.
Several people have also been evacuated from their homes.
The blast happened just after 02:00 local time (22:00 GMT Wednesday) at a construction and quarrying company, where explosives were being stored in four containers.
The international airport was also damaged, despite being 4km (2.5 miles) away. Schools are shut and hospitals closed to all but emergency cases.
The only movement allowed is into and out of the holiday islands.
“The Seychelles international Airport is still operational and ferry services between islands are operating for visitors,” the country’s official account said on X.
The UK government has advised its citizens on the island of Mahé to remain indoors until further notice.
Exceptionally heavy rain overnight has caused severe flooding and landslides, adding pressure on the island’s response teams.
Three people died when their homes were destroyed.
The deluge has caused sewage to flow into the ocean and people are being advised not to swim.
Speaking on national TV, President Ramkalawan called the twin disasters a “calamity” for the country, and appealed for people to show solidarity to those affected.

Mofang, a Chinese long-term rental apartment brand, said on Monday that it had closed its $150 million Series D funding from Canadian pension fund Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ).
Founded 10 years ago in Shanghai, Mofang is the largest institutional rental apartment company in China and manages more than 70,000 apartments in 20 Chinese cities. According to chief executive Kitty Liu, Mofang wants to use funds raised to expand its franchise business.
Mofang previously completed three rounds of equity fundraising totalling $400 million from investors that include DT Capital and China’s AVIC Trust. Mofang has also acquired other Chinese home rental brands such as V-land and Woqu as well as co-developing projects with real estate operators in China.
“In a more established market such as the US, the institutional for-rent apartment industry is already a trillion-dollar market. For China, the urban rental population is three times the size of its US counterparts and we expect this market to grow rapidly in the coming years,” said Mofang's chairman Alex Zheng.
Over the last couple of years, China's long-term rental apartment sector has grabbed the attention of sovereign wealth funds and pension funds. Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), for example, inked a partnership with Chinese local real estate developer Longfor in July last year to invest about $817 million into rental housing programmes in the region.
The rental apartment industry has transformed from a consumer-to-consumer model to a business-to-consumer one. And it is expected to evolve even further. According to a government instruction last month, China intends to experiment with a real estate investment trust (Reit) in the Xiongan New District.
The occupancy rate of long-term rental apartments in the six top tier Chinese cities are all above 90%, according to research from JLL. It said that the Chinese long-term rental apartment market has entered a fast-developing stage on the back of continuous urbanisation and demographic changes. The younger generation is expected to rent for longer as it delays marriage. The number of long-term rental apartments in the six top Chinese cities are expected to grow almost six times from the current 135,000 to 756,000 within the next four years.
“Having a well-known and reputable investor like CDPQ will help Mofang accelerate its development and further consolidate its leadership position,” said Joseph Gagnon, managing director of Warburg Pincus. The private equity investor has been active in the Asian real estate market in various forms. As Mofang's largest shareholder, Warburg Pincus is trying to gain market share as the Chinese firm expands. It said that it will continue to support Mofang’s future real estate financing.
Discussions in China about legislation for real estate investment trusts are also good news for the development of the long-term rental apartment market. More exit strategies will tempt more investor into the market.

An interdisciplinary exploration of the tension between traditional and modern approaches to the environment in Pacific Rim countries.
The most vigorously developing economies and largest markets today are located on the Pacific Rim, suggesting that the economic "center of gravity" is shifting from the shores of the North Atlantic. Yet the Pacific Rim is also the location of much of the earth's natural beauty as well as the home of still thriving traditional aboriginal societies. The Pacific Basin's environmental assets and its aboriginal peoples are confronted by the forces of development. The resulting tension between traditional and modern approaches to the environment are addressed in this book by an interdisciplinary team of scientists, social scientists, and humanists.
Part I introduces the tensions between traditional and modern values; Part II examines the problem in more detail with regard to the relationships that exist between some belief systems, institutions, and the environment; while Part III presents case studies from Canada, the United States, Russia, and China where attempts have been made to reconcile the tension between traditional and modern approaches to the environment.
Harold Coward is Director, Centre for Studies in Religion and Society and Professor of History, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. He is the author of Derrida and Indian Philosophy and Jung and Eastern Thought; editor of Hindu Ethics: Purity, Abortion, and Euthanasia (with Julius Lipner and Katherine K. Young); Derrida and Negative Theology (with Toby Foshay); Modern Indian Responses to Religious Pluralism; and Population, Consumption, and the Environment: Religious and Secular Responses, all published by SUNY Press. In addition, he is the editor of the SUNY Series in Religious Studies.
"…a volume that furthers the conversation around environment and development, while at the same time focusing on a fast-developing large region of the planet, the Pacific Rim … this book makes at least two much-needed contributions to the literature on the environment: (1) it reinforces the crucial religious/culture component of any viable solutions to the environmental crisis and (2) it does so in a manner that shows the effective functionality of meanings and values in the construction of society, in particular a society that takes the natural world seriously. " — Studies in Religion
"In this book the thematic surveys of the Pacific region range from case studies of the Colorado River, the forests of Western Canada, to energy in Siberia, and urban growth in the Pearl River Delta of southern China. These chapters offer fresh insights into the various tensions between traditional and modern environment and development values in the Pacific. The broad interdisciplinary nature of this study makes it a unique and important contribution to both scholars and those who make policy decisions in both government and the private sector. " — Maurice Strong, from the Foreword

Troubling statistics about the numbers of Colorado teens abusing prescription drugs have spawned a new statewide drug abuse prevention campaign.
The Rise Above Colorado campaign, which has the support of Gov. John Hickenlooper and Attorney General John Suthers, and builds on the experience of the Colorado Meth Project, is being unveiled Wednesday. It will include educational programs and outreach efforts across the state.
"We wanted to respond to the changing drug landscape," Rise Above Colorado executive director Kent MacLennan said. "We will communicate with teens on a science and fact basis. We won't be preachy. We will present facts in an honest way."
Colorado youth have reported in a survey that prescription medications are easier to get than beer. After marijuana, over-the-counter and prescription drugs are counted as the most abused substances by teens.
Statistics gleaned from the survey done by Rise Above Colorado and The Partnership at Drugfree.orgshow that more than 29 percent of Colorado 12-graders had taken prescription medication without a doctor's prescription at least once. That figure is higher than the national average of 25.6 percent and gives Colorado the second worst rate of pain-pill abuse in the United States. Oregon ranks No. 1.
Forty-two percent of teens in the survey said it was easy to get prescription drugs from their parents' medicine cabinets.
"It's easier than you would think it would be," said University High School senior Amanda Hill, speaking about how many students in the Greeley area are obtaining prescription medications.
Hill is part of Rise Above Colorado's teen advisory council, a group of youth who will help spread information about prescription drug abuse.
The non-profit program will be working in collaboration with The Partnership at Drugfree.org, the nationwide program addressing adolescent substance abuse.
