Will Tougher Regulations Prevent Another Opal Tower?
The 3,000 residents of Sydney’s Opal Tower suffered a major scare on Christmas Eve when a concrete panel within the building cracked. Because of safety concerns, all 34 stories of the building were evacuated.
State investigators are not letting residents back inside the recently-completed building in Sydney’s Olympic Park until they’ve completed a thorough investigation into the matter.
The New South Wales government has asked two engineering professors from separate universities to examine the crack and write a report on the safety hazards involved.
Furthermore, the government is now targeting shady building certifiers who are quick to certify a building as safe just to get a quick payday.
This negligence puts many people’s lives at risk, so it is understandable why the government would want to go after these lousy certifiers.
To combat this growing problem, the New South Wales state government proposed stricter regulations to prevent developers from selecting their own certifiers, so residents can be sure approved buildings were inspected by only the most professional building certifiers.
Opal Tower Evacuation
New South Wales has been dealing with a lot of shady developers and certifiers in recent years. When the Opal Tower fiasco took place, many within the construction industry weren’t surprised to hear about its emergency evacuation.
According to Professor Bill Randolph of the University of New South Wales’ City Futures Research Centre, these problems happen throughout the industry. Developers construct apartment buildings so quickly that inspectors struggle to keep up with the influx and any possible code violations.
In 2012, a Bankstown, NSW building suffered a major fire because of multiple building code violations. Three years later the state government commissioned former Treasury secretary Michael Lambert to evaluate the state’s existing building regulations.
Based on his review, Lambert submitted a report to the state government, which included almost 150 recommendations he thought should be made to the state’s building codes.
The government only implemented one of those recommendations, which was a requirement for high-rise buildings to get their fire systems certified.
Lambert warns that many more buildings in New South Wales are suffering from defects. No other state has this problem to the extent of New South Wales.
Opal Tower Report
New South Wales planning minister Anthony Roberts requested an investigation of the Dec. 24 incident at Opal Tower. He chose two professors who are deans of engineering at their universities: John Carter of the University of Newcastle and Mark Hoffman of the University of New South Wales.
Their job was to determine whether the Opal Tower is safe for residents to return. If not, they were tasked with recommending the best ways to make the building safer for the residents to return.
Based on their preliminary findings, the engineers determined Opal Tower is mostly in good shape and will not collapse.
However, there is still some damage to the panels and hob beams that needs to be repaired. The engineers need more information to determine how this damage might have occurred. There also are several design issues that need to be addressed.
NSW Tough New Laws
In 2018, 163 complaints were made to the Building Professionals Board regarding various building certifiers in New South Wales. In response, the state government has passed new laws that attempt to give more independence to building certifiers.
That way, certifiers are not specifically chosen by developers. Instead, developers will be appointed certifiers through either a rotation scheme, cab rank scheme or time limit scheme. There also are now stricter licensing regulations and laws by which certifiers must abide.
NSW Response to Opal Tower Saga
In wake of the Opal Tower incident, New South Wales now plans to crack down on bad building certifiers. One measure includes auditing at least 25 percent of all building certifications in the state each year.
Specifically, new policies focus on buildings constructed over the last few years since those are deemed to have the highest risk of problems. Any certifiers who are deemed negligent or corrupt will be banned from the industry.

The scheme was first conceived and implemented by Govt of Telangana as the Rythu Bandhu scheme, where a amount is given directly to eligible farmers. The scheme has received accolades from various organisations for its successful implementation, including World Bank. Many economist suggest that this type of investment support is better than farm loan waivers. With the positive outcome of this scheme, Govt of India wanted to implement it as nation wide project and it was announced by Piyush Goyal during the 2019 Interim Union Budget of India on 1 February 2019.

On His Own Terms
Try this experiment: Mention the name Bob Moses to a drummer who’s been around a while. You’ll likely get one of two responses: “Bob who?” or something to the effect of “Oh, yeah, Bob’s the man!” We at MD happen to fall into the second category; it’s why we published his method book Drum Wisdom back in the day—and why we poached its title for our recent feature series on great drummer/ educators. This month we catch up with the musician, who’s never stopped playing, or thinking, or being a profound influence on the thousands of players who’ve fallen under his wonderful spell.
Since beginning his journey down the spiritual path, Ra Kalam Bob Moses has learned a lot about creativity, and even more about life. It’s ironic that this journey has showed him how to cover his own tracks so well. He seems to have brushed aside the lasting traces of his own “self,” or at least hidden them under the bramble and thicket that most of us are too busy to notice. His studies and practices have humbled him to the point where it seems unnecessary, inaccurate even, for him to acknowledge his original voice on the drums and his worldly contributions to music.
Today Ra Kalam will tell you that he doesn’t think of himself as a great player. When he reflects on the period in which he played mainly jazz, he says that it only sounds like he knew what he was doing because the musicians he was playing with knew what they were doing. They were doing the heavy lifting.
That’s likely not what those hearing his music would say. Ra Kalam began spiritual practice roughly twenty years ago with guitarist Tisziji Muñoz, with whom he also collaborates musically. But before that, Ra Kalam was “simply” Bob Moses: post-bop slayer, one of the great rhythmic forces in free jazz and fusion music of the ’70s and ’80s. He recorded his first album as a leader in 1968. He appeared on Pat Metheny’s debut as a leader, Bright Size Life, in 1976, then in concert and on recordings with bandleaders Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Pharoah Sanders, Dave Liebman, Jack DeJohnette, and Larry Coryell, among many others. He’s even taught at the highest academic level since the early ’80s, serving as a professor of jazz studies at the New England Conservatory of Music.
Maybe his spiritual studies have simply made him more aware of the world’s profundity, and the miracle of expression. Certainly it has helped answer questions he’s always asked about musical dogma—like the setup an improvising drummer should use, and even how one defines success.
Thankfully, his selflessness has yet to keep him from producing a lot of music. Like, a lot a lot: Moses has released seventeen albums since he launched his own label, Ra Kalam Records, roughly ten years ago. Most of these recordings are bold works whose genre is slightly tougher to categorize than his pre-spirit-path music. He takes influence from African tribal music, modal, spiritual, and straight-ahead jazz, singers on The X Factor, nature, the cosmos, kung-fu movies, windshield wipers…basically everywhere. And each album has its own identity. Yet they are connected by the current of his percussive flow: a rhythm-river, at once lyrical, melodic, torrential, dialogical, and floral. The music sometimes descends into cacophony, but Ra Kalam’s soul and intent are always discernible in the (intentional) chaos. His spiritual journey has allowed him to harness abilities most musicians take for granted, like singing, dancing, or simply listening. It’s taught him to be mindful of the swirling Foley—like skipped records and the sound of the wind rustling leaves—that surrounds us. Ra Kalam has his ears and mind open, and he’s using these elements as a foundation for his evolved music.
MD: What got you thinking about spirituality and its relationship to music?
Ra Kalam: My early exposure to Coltrane is what prepared me for Tisziji. I heard a spirituality in his playing that I didn’t hear from other jazz musicians, great as they were. Coltrane in ’61 was so radically different. It’s hard for people to understand now, because so many people have copied that free, open, modal sound. It affected me in a way no other music had. It was going somewhere beyond music, where the purpose was not musical. For a lot of musicians, they’re just music fanatics. For me, if the music doesn’t reach out and pull my heart out of my chest, I’d rather hear silence.
In one of these really down, dark times I called Tisziji and asked him if I could just come and sit with him. No guitar, no drums. I just want to sit. I remember, the first time I sat for eighteen hours straight. I was falling over, and he was sitting with perfect posture, totally relaxed but sharp—every word was perfect dharma. That began the process. Then shortly after, I got the name Ra Kalam—it’s representative of the journey and of being free of the karmic caca of Bob Moses. [That’s when] I think my music started changing.
MD: How does practicing meditation and spirituality help your playing? Is it necessary to open yourself to spirituality to be a great player?
Ra Kalam: Almost all great players are not doing that, and they’re still great players. No, this is not about music, this is about your life. Let’s face it: musicians and artists are some of the most egocentric people on the planet. They’re as removed from spiritual practice as you could possibly be! If they have a need for it, they’ll gravitate toward it. If they don’t, they won’t. I definitely had a need for it. I was suffering.
There is a huge gap between Tisziji’s reality and any normal human reality [because he is a spiritual master]. I’m trying to close that gap, trying to get closer to stillness. It’s really like prayer. Prayer mode. It’s really hard if you’re not in prayer mode; then you get to the gig, and you have to be that way. ’Trane played the way he played because he lived that way. We all have that spirit-compassion.
MD: Years ago you were known more for playing jazz music, and you used a standard four-piece kit. But since, your music has become something less classifiable, and in turn you’ve evolved your kit into something more diverse—you’ve even called it “magical.” Can you describe it?
Ra Kalam: It’s kind of like a sculpture. Many times I just go into my music room to look at it and don’t even play it. I can hear things coming from [the drums] before I touch them. They seem to already suggest music.
I don’t think in terms of brand or symmetry—a Gretsch or Tama set, or whatever. I just go drum by drum: Okay, I like this drum; it’ll make it into the set. It happens that a lot of the stuff is made and invented by Remo. I have a high regard for Remo the company and Remo Belli the man. He was a great man and a visionary. Remo manufactured things I would have invented if I knew how to make things. For example, the snare that I use is from the Mondo drumset; it’s half djembe and half snare. It’s the only snare I use now. I use a 12″ and a 10″, which I call my “snapping turtle.” It’s also easy to play with your hands, which I’ve been doing a lot more of lately. Or sometimes I’ll play with one hand and one stick.
I also use a 16″ Remo djembe turned on its side as second bass drum. The bass drum that I play more with my right foot is a floor tom made by Eames.
I have a lot of different foot combinations with my set: two bass drums, three hi-hat like instruments, tombaks to my left, and something Remo invented called a cluster drum, which is five heads in one drum. That goes next to where some people would have a rack tom; I have a timbale [instead]. Many of the cymbals are different types of Chinas. They’re mostly used for effect—I don’t ride on them.
Q: Is it necessary to open yourself to spirituality to be a great player?
A: Almost all great players are not doing that, and they’re still great players. No, this is not about music, this is about your life.
MD: Do you bring all of that stuff out when you play a gig?
Ra Kalam: Generally I bring a 12″ Mondo snare, an Eames 16″ bass drum, an Eames floor tom, a timbale, one hi-hat, and one ride.
Editor’s note: the ride is a ’60s Zildjian K that Moses has had for more than fifty-five years. He recently acquired its “sister cymbal,” another vintage K made by the same cymbal maker, Mikael Zildjian, that sounds and looks “almost as beautiful” as his original. Ra Kalam, who is not short of stories, told MD a great one in which he asked the elder of the two cymbals if “she” would mind if he “dated her sister occasionally.” The cymbal responded, “Please! I could use the break!” But back to Ra Kalam….
I bring out a very small kit. One, because I’m getting old and lazy. [laughs]. But also because the music doesn’t call for [anything bigger]. One of the things Tisziji told me: “Sound like the cosmos with the smallest kit possible.” That kind of infinity comes from you, not the drumset. So even with a small set I wind up getting as many colors as I can. The sound ultimately is in your head, so if you hear different tones, you’ll find a way to get different tones. You could play one drum…I could get a melody on the desk here. [Moses proceeds to play a melody on his desk.] A lot of people are kind of amazed at the amount of sounds and colors I get with a small kit, but I learned early on that it’s not only the drum… it’s what you’re hitting it with.
MD: It’s funny you say that, because it looks to me as if you often play with broken sticks.
Ra Kalam: They’re not all broken; they’re all in the state of becoming broken. Like all living things, we all break down eventually. I make them that way. I go to a tree and find a branch that has enough straightness to it and also one that won’t mess with the integrity of the tree [if I take it]. I love and respect trees. Of course, because they’re all handmade, each stick is different.
I have a different technique for the left hand and right hands because they have completely different functions in the music. Also, my hands aren’t equal. I know some of these great drummers who practice every day, and their left hand and right are absolutely equal, but I’m not like that. My right hand is stronger because I’m right handed. I use it more. But they have different functions.
MD: You mention the importance of dance to your playing. Can you describe how you use it?
Ra Kalam: The way you listen to music is by dancing to it. I know how to listen. When you play with people [who know what they’re doing], dance to it, see what it really is. It’s like getting in a car that’s already driving. You don’t need to do anything. That’s been my approach to all music.
It’s interesting that all these kids who say they’re into jazz know the three hundred sixty-third thing about it, but they don’t know the first thing about it: It’s not in four, it’s in two! So they’re not moving correctly. They have the wrong feel from the get-go. How do I know it’s in two? I dance to every record. Some of the students get into it, start doing it. Others look at me like I’m crazy: “What—you want me to dance?” You want to be a drummer, and that’s such a far-fetched idea? I don’t know, man…. [laughs]
MD: You say that you rarely gig anymore. Do you think you’re less likely to be hired because you have such a specific sound?
Ra Kalam: I don’t think it’s only my sound. It’s who I am as a person. I’ve always been a contrarian and a rebel spirit, and always try to be as unprogrammed as possible. I take full responsibility for that. What I learned from Tisziji, and from living long enough, is that not working very much, or not being part of the scene, is not a detriment—it’s a blessing. In fact, I think it’s enabled me to go deeper into the way I play because I don’t care if anybody likes it. I don’t care if it’s useful for anybody else. I’m playing for my own spiritual healing, which means letting go.
My credo is “Learn it to burn it.” In other words, learn it so you don’t have to play it anymore. Most musicians learn it to show it, and then they spend the rest of their life showing it and reproving that they’ve learned it over and over. “Look what I’ve learned. I’m great at it!” “Yes you are.” “Okay, here again. I’m great at it.” Over and over and over. And I’m not putting them down…that’s their choice to make. My choice is different. What heals me is to play what I don’t know, not what I know. And to play what actually can’t be known in the intellectual mind. It’s beyond the mind. That’s a different process. It’s letting go.
I’m about to turn seventy-one. Who knows how much time I’ve got. With any luck, ten or fifteen more years. So I don’t want to spend even a minute dumbing down, going backwards, or redoing something I may have done before. That’s where my joy comes in. If I were a working musician, it would be much harder to do it. I see working musicians, and they’re stuck doing what they’ve already done because people like it, and that’s how they make a living. That means they’re attached to material success, and to being liked and understood. I’m not putting anyone down; these are all choices people can make. I choose to not be attached to any of that. The freedom is worth more than anything to me.
I hardly play gigs because no one calls me to play. I don’t have a band or anything. I play in the house sometimes, but I like playing with people. For me, an hour of drums by themselves is enough. Maybe I’m a little lazy, too. But I’m getting better. I actually like my playing these days. Twenty years ago I wouldn’t have said that.
MD: Most musicians constantly talk about how they have to just keep gigging in order to get by. How do you make your living if you hardly play gigs?
Ra Kalam: Man, it’s a mystery to me how I make it. I don’t owe any money. I put out seventeen records. I’m creating all the time. I teach one day a week at NEC, and even that’s only during certain seasons. But I live in a funky house. The ceiling is coming down. I have three roommates; I would love to live with myself, but nah.
I don’t do any of the things people tell you are in the program: you gotta buy Christmas presents; Thanksgiving you gotta eat turkey. Nope. Not me. New Year’s…New Year’s? For me that’s the spring. I don’t have a smartphone. Vacation? I stay home, play the drums, paint some pictures, breathe. That’s my vacation. These are choices that people have to make.
I’m hardly a professional musician. Careers go up and down. Almost all the musicians I know are more materially successful than me. My students are more materially successful than me. But none of them seem happy. Nobody has any time. Everybody seems completely stressed; they’re all running around like madmen. I have, like, no business or hussle chops. That’s not good, and I’m not proud of that, by the way. But I know by now who I am.

Gary Barlow: Piano wouldn't work after split
The singer-songwriter, who is currently using his musical expertise on the X Factor, told the Guardian he went into depression after Take That dramatically split up 15 years ago, an event that sent shockwaves across the UK.
His "beautiful white piano", his "lucky" musical instrument, lost its power.
He told the newspaper: "Every hit I'd had I'd written on this piano. Within six months of this not happening any more, this piano drove me mad.
"To the point where I spent days just looking at it, lying underneath it, lying on top of it, rubbing my face on it, going slowly insane, trying to work out why this thing wasn't delivering to me like it used to."
It was only when the band reformed in 2006 after a candid documentary brought all the bandmates together again – except Robbie Williams – he felt "valid" again.
Since then he has enjoyed massive success with Take That, who have not only sold millions of records but produced sell-out tours that have wowed audiences around the world.

The South African fig export industry, barely a decade old, is expanding, with domestic demand also showing improvement as a result of the so-called “foodie” culture. It is a difficult fruit to export because it spoils easily: it needs to be picked at the optimal time (at 85 to 90% ripeness for export) and requires a very secure cold chain, with no fluctuations in temperature, such as fruit at fresh produce markets typically experience when they are moved out of cold storage to the display floor and back again.
The South African export firm moving the largest volumes of figs is Star South, which exported 450t of figs last year (60% to the UK and the balance to the EU, Canada, Middle and Far East). According to Danel van Deventer, logistics manager for figs at Star South, last year they marketed a further 100t as fresh fruit locally and 10t for processing, such as fig preserve (very popular in South Africa) and drying. A lot of the fruit is sold at roadside farm stalls and farmer’s markets in the Western Cape and therefore the volume consumed locally is unknown.
Average yields in the Western Cape as well as in the Northwest Province are 3 to 4t per hectare.
The South African fig industry’s commercialisation is widely credited to Keith Wilson. He visited Turkey to investigate their fig production but any export of their propagation material was prohibited. In southeastern France he visited the famous fig nursery of Pierre Baud, from whom he acquired all of the varieties that today make up South Africa’s fig industry: the bite-sized Ronde de Bordeaux fig and Bourjassotte Noire, known as Evita or Parisian in South Africa. Cultivars like Tangier, Deanna and King are planted to a lesser degree, supplemented by old varieties like Old Cape White figs and Adams figs, only for local consumption as it's too soft for export, and White Genoa and Kadota for the purposes of making fig preserves.
The South African fig harvest is currently a third to halfway through. Ronde de Bordeaux is harvested from week 52 to week 8 while the Bourjassotte Noire (Evita/Parisian) harvest started about a month ago and extends to weeks 18 to 20.
Ronde de Bordeaux weighs about 20g and it is marketed for its petite size. Dutch retailer Albert Heijn, which carried some this season, markets it as “baby vijgen”.
“South Africa is the only country in the world where Ronde de Bordeaux is grown commercially, something which struck a chord with Pierre Baud when he visited the country. His father was a fig farmer and he always throught that Ronde de Bordeaux had commercial potential. He was ahead of his time,” explains Wilson. Wilson is currently involved in trials with Ronde de Bordeaux on 4ha in Ethiopia and 5ha in Egypt, which seems promising.
However, smaller fruits require more labour to pick and make up volumes, which factors into Ronde de Bordeaux production costs in South Africa. Wilson reckons that growing the fruit in a country with lower labour costs, like Ethiopia, makes it an economically viable proposition.
Fruit size is a hurdle
The main challenge to South African fig farmers is fruit size. Hanro Knoetzen of Eikenhof in Porterville, Western Cape, concurs that winds dry out the fruit and reduce the size. Porterville is one of the hubs of South African fig production. Knoetzen mentions that fig quality seems better when it is misty. Keith Wilson is of the opinion that if South African growers could grow figs with an average weight of 50g, their earnings could be many times higher. Given climatic conditions in South Africa, more akin to North Africa and with a lower atmospheric humidity than European Mediterranean regions, growers attain smaller sizes with the same cultivars than their European counterparts.
The largest commercial fig is the Bursa black fig from Turkey, a fig which is unique to the city of Bursa and cultivation is restricted to its region of origin. Koos Lötter, retired lecturer in horticultural science at the University of Stellenbosch, is of the opinion that Bourjassotte Noire is still the best large dark fig available to South African growers.
Fruit size can be improved by thinning out the figs in December, but some farmers are, by that stage, already harvesting Ronde de Bordeaux and therefore prefer to allocate labour resources to picking rather than thinning out.
The United Kingdom is the traditional export market for South African fruit growers, and feedback that Star South has received from UK fig marketers is that figs are one of the very few commodities still growing in the British market; because a fig is so versatile in sweet as well as savoury dishes. Star South’s Van Deventer confirms that there is a definite increase in the volumes exported to all markets.
However, not all growers are so keen on the British market since Brexit and the weakening of the British pound. Willem van der Merwe of Dasklip, Porterville, is very pleased with his move to Dutch retailer Albert Heijn. “I sent 99% of my Ronde de Bordeaux to Holland and I’ll send the rest of my harvest, which is Evita, to the UK and the East.” Knoetzen, also of Porterville, agrees that the prices for figs in the UK are lower than they used to be. He sends approximately 70% of his harvest to the local market through Freshmark (Checkers) and Woolworths.
“As our trees mature and yield improves, we’ll need new markets in future,” says Valerian van der Byl of Fairfield Farm, outside Napier. “I think the United Kingdom will remain a strong market for us but there’s increased buying power in the Far East. We also try to grow the local market. A fifty-fifty split between export and local markets is our ideal.”
According to Jan Eksteen of Uitkijk Farm in Paarl, which hosts an annual fig festival at the start of April, there is definite growth in demand for figs, driven by the Western Cape’s strong restaurant and hospitality industry.
Figs, like cherries and blueberries, are these days also cultivated in the North West Province. Stef Papendorf of Hillcrest Boerdery started 8 years ago with 6ha of Adams figs for the local market. He has also recognised the potential of the South African fig export industry: "I have planted 1 400 Deanna trees and plan to expand with another 1 500 Evita trees for exporting."

Read more at www.biobalancehealth.com JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association is one of the major pieces of literature that doctors read to obtain new information about the knowledge and practice of medicine. For years JAMA has been publishing articles challenging the use of Hormone Replacement Treatment, particularly for women. In the 1980s HRT took off as a miracle treatment for women who were aging and post -menopausal. Many doctors and their female patients were getting into this treatment it was an exciting time for women who wanted to live long and healthy lives. Then, in order to validate this movement in modern medicine, the Women’s Health Initiative put together a research program to check out the legitimacy of hormone replacement treatment. This research program was checking the replacement of estrogen and provera. In just a little time they obtained data that caused them to believe that women receiving this treatment were at an increased risk for breast cancer and death. The news media got on board and rushed to publish warnings to women and their doctors to say stop killing women! They did not really verify the research they just accepted the warning and rushed out to say the sky is falling. Dr. Maupin had been watching this issue unfold. After twenty five years as a gynecologist treating women who became postmenopausal she did not see an increase in breast cancer or death in women who received HRT. So she continued to practice medicine the way she knew and used the data and the research she had obtained from Europe to bolster her argument that the treatment was safe and efficacious. Many doctors in our community ran scared and scared their patients and said “ I won’t practice this way and I don’t think you should go to her to obtain HRT.” This week, eighteen years after the controversy over the WHI study which was fatally flawed a study has been released that tracked over 27000 women who had received HRT for between five and seven years or more. This is considered long term treatment. The result is exciting: there is no supporting data that shows any increase in risk of death from all cause mortality among these women based on whether or not they have received hormone replacement therapy. There is no data that says HRT will increase your risk of death from any cause of death, particularly heart disease and cancers of all types. They are not saying it will keep you alive, but they are saying it won’t kill you. Now that we do not have to look at the risk of death with anxiety and fear, we can look at research that will talk about the quality of life and the health and improved quality of life that can happen when people obtain hormone replacement therapies when they need them. Not only can you safely consider the replacement of estrogen, you should also look at other hormones that our bodies make and use which decline as we age. Talk to your doctor about whether or not they are aware of this exciting new article in the most recent issue of JAMA and whether or not they are willing to recommend and provide HRT treatments for aging people.

CINCINNATI (Liz Bonis) -- More questions being were raised Thursday, April, 16, about two hormone replacement therapies for women. Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT as it's known, is usually a combination of both estrogen and a synthetic progesterone called progestin. It is usually used to reduce hot flashes, sleep problems, and other symptoms of menopause. In women who have had a hysterectomy, often only estrogen alone is given. A study released Thursday was a follow-up to a previous women's health initiative study that was released in 2002. It found the combination therapy increased a woman's chances for breast cancer, stroke, heart disease, and blood clots. The new study was an analysis of the same women, but now 13 years later, and looks only at the way HRT may influence breast cancer risk.Experts at the Cleveland Clinic said results showed using estrogen alone may not influence breast cancer risk in the same way as the combined therapy of estrogen and synthetic progesterone. The study followed more than 16,000 women on the combined therapy. It found women who got off this therapy had the risk drop in about three years. Women did still have a higher breast cancer risk as time went on; the study did not raise death rates overall from it. In the women who were only on estrogen about 10,000 were followed. They found the estrogen alone actually led to a reduced risk. But if they stopped that the reduced risk went away over time.Cleveland Clinic doctors said hormones influence risk but don't cause breast cancer. They suggest people talk with their own doctor about their personal health history before making a decision about taking or not taking hormones.

*Your Cancer Risk: Estrogen Replacement After a Hysterectomy* This Friday on May 15th at 9 pm PT, we will be talking with Dr. Philip Sarrel about estrogen replacement after a hysterectomy. A new study shows that using estrogen alone may not influence breast cancer risk in the same way as the combined therapy of estrogen and synthetic progesterone. Estrogen use in women with hysterectomy is associated with a reduced risk for breast cancer and that if you stop estrogen after having hysterectomy that benefit of breast cancer reduction is lost over time. Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, is used to relieve menopausal symptoms. A woman on hormone therapy usually takes both estrogen and synthetic progesterone, known as progestin. Women who have had a hysterectomy can take estrogen alone.

http://biobalancehealth.com Rhonda Tipton-Swisher has benefitted from bioidentical hormone pellets and other treatments prescribed Dr. Kathy Maupin. Rhonda was diagnosed with receptor-negative breast cancer. She inquired about bioidentical hormone therapy after she was told she should expect menopause during chemotherapy. Many symptoms hit her hard about halfway through the treatment, the strongest of which were hot flashes. She described them as intense and hitting around the clock about 10 or 20 minutes apart. She said, " I was living in a fog, I couldn't remember things that happened day to day. Sexual intimacy with my husband was the farthest from my mind. My husband has been so supportive and loving. I wanted to share that part of myself with him, but I couldn't." Dr. Maupin points out that Rhonda also had an abnormal thyroid--Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Dr. Maupin treated it correctly and causing Rhonda to loose seven pounds within a week with a total loss of 32 pounds without changing her diet. She said she had more energy than she could imagine. The testosterone pellets, Dr. Maupin points out, help you become leaner, decrease belly fat, give you muscle back, and it allows you to burn calories while you sleep. Rhonda also had symptoms of fibromyalgia, causing her intense bone and muscle. Her doctor had her on narcotic pain relievers for more than a year before she first came to BioBalance. Rhonda says, "The most astounding thing about this treatment is that within three months I was able to stop using the pain medication. That in itself has changed my life." After Rhonda's first pellet insertion, she explains that her husband tried to lock her out of the bedroom because her sex drive was so high. Dr. Maupin explains that is usually what happens at the beginning of the therapy, but that it eventually decreases to a more normal "pre-menopause" level. Dr. Maupin summarizes Rhonda's case by complementing her on her courage to go against other normal suggestions from doctors to not take hormones after breast cancer. She ads, "when you take hormones the way we give it--both estrogen and estradiol--your risk of having a reoccurrence of any type of breast cancer, or having a new type is actually the same or lower than if you took nothing. There recent studies that show that.

Here are the links to additional information about HRT and Bio-identical hormones: 5 steps to natural menopause: http://lesliekenton.com/health/into-the-bliss/5-steps-ideal-menopause-part-2/ Beware of HRT: http://lesliekenton.com/health/into-the-bliss/beware-hrt/ In the next 5 minutes, I want to share with you essential truths about hormone replacement therapy—HRT. This stuff that vitally important for you to know. But first, let me ask this: Do you feel or have you fever been afraid, confused or frustrated about your own menstrual, peri-menopausal or menopausal issues? I know I once did. Intense hormonal changes can make you feel like you’re going crazy, so you’re not even sure who you are any more. And these symptoms can start as early as 10 years before menopause arrives. Natural hormonal shifts are natural transformations in every woman’s life. And, believe it or not, they can even be profoundly beneficial. But you need to learn how best o handle them. We women are constantly told that we have to take drug-based artificial hormone drugs known as HRT to do this. I’m here to tell you this is most certainly not the way to go. Why? Because medically based HRT— using synthetic drugs can produce massive side effects. It is also incapable of delivering genuine healing. It cannot treat fundamental causes. It can only mask symptoms. In the process, synthetic HRT hormones can poison your body long-term. Drug-based synthetic estrogens, progestins and progestogens commonly prescribed as HRT are fundamentally dangerous. Used long-term, they may even be life-threatening. We women need to band together and challenge the “wisdom” of conventional medical practices. It’s time for us to turn away from the widespread propaganda that accompanies the promotion of HRT as the solution to all our problems. Indiscriminate doling out of potent drug-based hormones can undermine a woman’s fertility as well as trigger the development of her menstrual agonies—from PMS and endometriosis to cancer of the breast and womb. The current attempt to make every woman a “patient” for the rest of her life by subjecting her body to long-term HRT is also a way of diminishing her personal power and undermining her control over her own body. Conventional HRT is most certainly not the answer. I believe passionately that it’s time for a radical overhaul in how we handle women’s issues. There are safer, better, more effective ways. As celebrated expert in the natural treatment of peri-menopause and menopause, Dr Jonathan Wright, Medical Director of Tahoma Clinic in Washington—a long-time advocate of bio-identical, that is natural hormones—says, “Replacing estrogen that your body is no longer producing with the synthetic versions found in conventional HRT is like replacing parts designed for a Chevy with those made for a Mercedes.” More about thes alternatives in a moment. Meanwhile, let me share with you a couple of scientific studies carried out in the last 15 years which show just how potentially dangerous and ineffective conventionally prescribed HRT can be: In 2002, researchers called a halt to a huge government- run study involving 16,000 women on HRT under the Women’s Health Initiative. Researchers found that long-term use of synthetic estrogen and progestin significantly increased women’s danger of stroke, blood clots, heart attack, invasive breast cancer and stroke. Then the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published another study, showing that women who take a combination of synthetic estrogen and progestin are also at high risk of getting a highly aggressive form of breast cancer. Other studies have revealed that HRT can increase your risk of Alzheimer’s, dementia and asthma. More new research indicates that combined synthetic estrogen-progestin HRT increases your risk of severe forms of breast cancer as well as your chances of dying, from the disease as well as other causes. Let’s look at the alternatives. There are many. Bio-identical hormones—commonly known as “natural” hormones—do a far safer, more effective job of helping most women handle the challenges they face. This is a truth now well supported by scientific research.

Study Hormone Replacement Therapy Increases Breast Cancer Risk - kdka.com
Views: 29943 Allegheny Health Network
In the largest clinical trial to date, the combination estrogen-progestin (Prempro) increased the risk of certain serious conditions. According to the study, over one year, 10,000 women taking estrogen plus progestin might experience: Seven more cases of heart disease than women taking a placebo Eight more cases of breast cancer than women taking a placebo Eight more cases of stroke than women taking a placebo Eighteen more cases of blood clots than women taking a placebo An increase in abnormal mammograms, particularly false positives The study found no increased risk of breast cancer or heart disease among women taking estrogen without progestin. Over one year, however, 10,000 women taking estrogen alone might experience: Twelve more cases of stroke than women taking a placebo Six more cases of blood clots in the legs than women taking a placebo An increase in mammography abnormalities The effect of hormone therapy on mammograms is important, because it suggests that women on hormone therapy may need more frequent mammograms and additional testing. Who should consider hormone therapy? Despite the health risks, estrogen is still the gold standard for treating menopausal symptoms. The absolute risk to an individual woman taking hormone therapy is quite low — possibly low enough to be acceptable to you, depending on your symptoms. The benefits of short-term hormone therapy may outweigh the risks if you: Experience moderate to severe hot flashes or other menopausal symptoms Have lost bone mass and either aren't able to tolerate other treatments or aren't benefitting from other treatments Stopped having periods before age 40 (premature menopause) or lost normal function of your ovaries before age 40 (premature ovarian failure) Women who experience premature menopause or premature ovarian failure have a different set of health risks compared with women who reach menopause near the average age of about 50, including: A lower risk of breast cancer A higher risk of osteoporosis A higher risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) In addition, hormone therapy appears to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and CHD when started soon after menopause in young women. For women who reach menopause prematurely, the protective benefits of hormone therapy may outweigh the risks.

Read more at www.biobalancehealth.com Several articles have come to the fore in the last few months that focus on the risk of High body fat and Low Muscle Mass in the occurrence of Breast Cancer. Since the threat of estrogen replacement has been put to rest, women have been asking for the real risks of breast cancer. These new research studies have starred in News week and Healthcare magazines. It is important because many other studies before these two studies, have found that breast cancer is less severe in women who have taken ERT (estrogen), and not as frequent in women who are normal weight and who have a high muscle mass, verses women who are obese without much muscle. These facts also tie in with my over 30 years of experience in OBGYN. Sometimes it is easier to understand and judge the results of research when we understand the mechanisms behind that research. It is well proven that women who are obese often find their breast masses late in the progress of a cancer when they are larger because fat hides the mass from both the mammogram and from the patient feeling the mass themselves. This risk of being overweight is simply anatomic, with fat obscuring both visualization and tactile evaluation for the cancer. The next factor is that obesity accelerates after menopause. The only change at menopause is the loss of Testosterone and Estradiol, and the increased production of Estrone. Breast Cancer and Obesity is more common after menopause. As women gain fat after menopause they generally develop it in their abdomen which makes even more estrone and consequently more fat! As fat mass increases the metabolic rate drops. This is because muscle mass is replaced by fat. Muscle is the organ that burns the most calories in the body. As you lose estrogen, then testosterone, the metabolism decreases. The opposite is true that if testosterone and estradiol are replaced then the occurrence of obesity decreases and so does the occurrence of breast cancer. A study reported in JAMA Oncology studied the muscle mass and fat mass in women with stage 2 or 3 breast cancer. The women who had a higher muscle mass had a much better survival of their cancer! This is due to the fact that muscle is stimulated by exercise and testosterone, but after age 50, no amount of exercise can build significant muscle mass without Testosterone. We work with aging patients all the time and know that replacing testosterone with bio-identical testosterone improves the immune system and in that way decreases breast cancer occurrence and recurrence. Not only does testosterone replacement decrease the cause of death from every cause, but it stimulates bone growth, muscle growth, and decreases heart disease and diabetes. After all the years we have mistakenly aimed our guns at the wrong cause of breast cancer, estrogen replacement, now we can aim our efforts in the proper direction, toward the benefits of hormone replacement, weight loss, and weight bearing exercise to gain muscle mass.

Read more at www.biobalancehealth.com Dr. Maupin has been primarily focused on Hormone Replacement in her practice of Medicine for nearly fourteen years. In the beginning she was accused of quackery by other physicians. Fourteen years ago many doctors were afraid of the hormone replacement movement, in part because of the warnings that had arisen out of the Women’s Health Initiative study in 2002. At that time the study was in progress many women and their doctors were turning to the treatment of replacing hormones as a miracle treatment for aging women. The WHI study was cut short because they encountered frightening data regarding the development of breast cancer in women who were in the study. Rather than complete the study, evaluate the results, and then present them, the authors of the study panicked and announced that hormone replacement, especially of estrogen, could cause breast cancer and increase the risk of death. Dr. Maupin did not believe the science that was available to see at that time from the study. She had her own experience and that of her patients to use to evaluate the degree of risk, especially for the development of Breast Cancer. She continued to practice hormone replacement therapy with estrogen and progesterone and testosterone and thyroid and other hormones. Her belief then and now was that our bodies make these hormones when we are young and begin to stop making them as we age. Her thought and that of similar doctors engaged in hormone replacement treatments was that if one could restore the young healthy normal balances of hormones then one could avoid all together or could heal many of the illnesses of aging that led to a loss of independence and to fragility and limitation that caused their final years to be considerably more difficult and limited than necessary. In the early years, Dr. Maupin was criticized by many doctors as being unrealistic and improperly focused in her treatment planning. However as time passed the medical community and the research doctors and scientists came out with a stinging critique of the WHI study and completely rejected their conclusions. These doctors began to say that hormone replacement therapy is not going to lead to increased risks of Cancers or heart disease or death. Now many of the doctors who used to criticize Dr. Maupin send their wives and their patients to her for her treatment of hormone replacement.

Bioidentical hormones are the Center of controversy over whether hormone therapy helps or kills. you should care about bioidentical hormone therapy because when it's done right the risk of cancer drops by 100s of percentage points. Lifelong risk of cancer of the breast and women is about 25% and with proper bioidentical hormone pellet therapy the data shows he may drop by his much as 500 to 700%. This is been proven by Dr. Rebecca Glaser ( http://hormonebalance.org/pdf/Glaser%20Dim%2013%20Reduced%20BCA%20incidence%20T%20T+%20A ) Bioidentical hormone therapy hasn't extremely high safety margin with extremely low toxicity as compared to synthetic alternatives. Synthetic chemicals are used in most of conventional medicine and conventional research and us the data comparing risks and benefits if you'd tremendously towards risk. I believe the properly apply bioidentical hormones had significantly less risk because of their more normal function in the body.

It is also difficult to understand why the FDA and big Pharma continue to resist such changes in medical thinking and practice.

DOJ prosecutors to file graft raps vs. Albayalde soon
Prosecutor General Benedicto Malcontento has assured that the graft case against retired Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Oscar Albayalde will be filed before the Office of the Ombudsman within the month.
“We will definitely submit the indorsement this month,” he said.
Once filed, Malcontento said he will leave it up to the Ombudsman whether to adopt the findings of the Department of Justice (DOJ) panel of prosecutors who conducted the preliminary investigation of the case.
“It’s their option whether they can adopt or conduct their own,” he said.
Recently, a DOJ panel of prosecutors issued a resolution which found probable cause to indict Albayalde with graft concerning his involvement with the so-called “ninja cops” in the questionable 2013 drug operation in Mexico, Pampanga.
“The Panel anchored its finding on Albayalde’s non-implementation of an Order which sought to penalize the police officers involved in the questioned drug operations,” the DOJ said.

It has this subtle watercolor feel to it, and I think it needs to come live with me. The colors in my living room are aqua, cream, chartreuse, a deep grey/blue, and a pop of yellow. It is coming together, but with the construction we have going on at our house, and my surgery, projects have slowed down a bit. Check out these rooms for some aqua and chartreuse inspiration – just what I needed, and I hope you enjoy it, too.

the glam lamb
What do you think of this color story? Does it have a place in your home?
My head is pretty much a continuous current of design. Ideas are bouncing around everywhere, and I get inspired by everything from a local art exhibit to the paint trim pattern on the mini train you can ride around my city. (You would have seen those photos if you follow me on Instagram @graceelizmitchell)
But there are rooms and elements of rooms and color schemes and patterns I fall in love with instantly, and I remember them forever, fondly thinking about them from time to time like old friends.
Today I am sharing one of my old friends with you, a room designed for the 2011 DC Design House by Lauren Liess of Pure Style Home. I j’adore her fabric line, and her style in many ways is my happy place. Natural elements layered with lots of texture, a little industrial, and a touch of moodiness, all brought together with some color.

Print out screenshots of the designs used. Mark the center of the fabric and pin screenshots in places where you want them embroidered.
Embroider the designs one by one. Use light-weight tear-away, or heat-away stabilizer.
After all designs are embroidered, finish the raw edges. We made mitered coners.
Then we made piping trim to match the color of the embroidery and stitched it between the layers.
We hope that you like our idea and will come up with many of your own.

DANVILLE, California 8/13/13. It has been an agonizingly tough week waiting for the jury's decision. The evidence concerning me is solid and would be difficult to refute since the witnesses, as a panel, determined the accuracy of the facts. I was facing the death penalty unless there was a reverse in the evidence.
FIRST-SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Few people know of the medical issues this writer has endured since being exposed to Mustard Gas while in military service. That gas is deadly. It ravages the organs of the body, in this case, the lungs, the heart and the intestines. Prostate cancer was a direct result of the mustard gas. I was also left with severe heart problems, as well as the effects of a stroke during which I actually crossed over and was revived.

Sometimes it makes sense to ban a book from a school library. For example, students should not be reading books about building bombs or any other form of violence in a library that students have access to.
However, does it make sense to ban books such as The Canterbury Tales, Paradis Lost, and Animal Farm? Evidently, one private Catholic school seems to think so because these books go against the school’s religious beliefs.
One student at the school, who is known only by her alias, Nekochan, decided to take action. She recently posted a question on Yahoo Answers to see if people thought it was “OK to run an illegal library from [her] locker at school.” Nekochan explains the situation in more detail in her question:

Surpassing Siri? Veveo aims to top Apple with voice search for video
The company has developed technology which searches video content by figuring out the meaning behind what you're saying, said Veveo CMO Sam Vasisht.
"We've realized that these technologies have gotten to the point where you can make them conversational," Vasisht said. "It's like the Star Trek model — you can hold a dialogue."
With Veveo, a user could ask a device "show me action movies" — bringing up action results — and then modify the results with statements like, "what about Matt Damon" to filter the results by the actor and "show me the latest ones" to bring up the most recent Matt Damon movies, Vasisht said.
The user could then ask, "Who are we playing tonight?" — and the app will know you're no longer talking about action movies, Vasisht said. The app will figure out that you're asking about football, and that you're in Boston, and will speak to you with details about who the Patriots will be playing, he said.
"Voice is going to become one of the commonly expected interfaces" in the future, Vasisht said. "And this is one of the most advanced solutions relating to how people can interact with devices and apps."
The technology is a combination of natural language processing and voice recognition, he said. It is targeted for mobile devices, TVs and set-top boxes. (Check out a demo here.)

My visit with Dr. Gaertner was as good as it gets. I felt welcomed and cared for, and I was not made to wait. The staff, Millie at the front desk and wearer of many hats and Alyce who does my cleanings are genuinely nice, welcoming, and ALWAYS patient. Although I still miss Dr. Kluggerman, I am very happy to see that Dr. Gaetner is as dedicated, gentle, and detail oriented as she was. On a personal note, I didn’t have breakfast and was feeling shaky and Dr. Gaetner shared his stash of Belgium chocolates with me, pretty cool I think. I would recommend this place for sure.
Dr.Gaertner is amazing! Extremely patient and cares about his patients. The staff is awesome, very friendly. I have been to other dentist and none compares to Dr.Gaertner.
New to Bliss staff very nice Dr on time and very good with nervous patients like me.
Highly recommend, Jenny the hygienist is brilliant, I have suffered with pain during cleaning for 20 yrs and now I you don’t have to
Dr. Gaertner recognized a long-standing issue I have had and believed it could be the cause of body pain. He recommended an orthotic treatment to correct my bite. The body pain disappeared within a day of using the new orthotic device and has not returned. Dr. Gaertner brings his expertise with non-invasive modalities to Miami. He and his staff are meticulous, precise, and caring.
I was a patient of Dr. Klugerman's for many years and know the staff to be exceptional. Having recently undergone extensive dental work from Dr. Andy Gaertner, and spending a lot of time there these last few months, I almost think of Bliss Dental as my home-away-from-home. A strange way to describe a place involving needles and drills, perhaps, but Dr. Gaertner is extremely gentle, patient, and very skilled. And the results? Relative perfection! I have already and will continue to recommend Bliss Dental, especially to those who have had negative experiences in the past. You'll find it quite a contrast.
If you are a nervous patient and want a knowledgeable compassionate efficient dentist (dont we all?) go see Dr. Gaertner. I was extremely nervous to go to a new dentist but the pain in my tooth became unavoidable. From the confirmation call from Millie to my x-rays with Gracie to my consultation with Dr. Gaertner I was treated with compassion and kindness. I enjoy how Dr. Gaertner is not quick to take extreme unneeded measures but rather inspect the problem thoroughly before coming to a decision. During my procedure Dr. Gaertner and Gracie calmed me and walked me through every step. I am so grateful to this team! THIS SHOULD BE YOUR NEW DENTIST
Great service and attention to detail. Dr. Gaertner's attention to detail and medical explanations is excellent. After many years continues to be my favorite dental site in the city.
I have been a patient of this practice for years, the waiting time is minimum, Dr.Andy Gaertner, his assistant Greicy, the hygienist, and the office manager Milly, are amazing, they really know how to make you feel comfortable at a place the is scary for most people.I definitely recommend this dentist paradise to everybody.
I've been reluctant of going to the dentist. I think it was the idea to suffer that scared me the most. Dr Andy Gaertner is one of the most attentive dentist that I know. He makes sure you feel comfortable and explains beforehand what will happen. Dr Andy Gaertner and his team are caring people, the way they treat you there is similar to what family members would do. My teeth have been treated many times by Dr Andy Gaertner, he managed to align my gums to enhance my smile.
Having a beautiful smile was definitely a confidence boost! Thank you Bliss Dental!
I travel one hour from Miami Beach every six month to visit Dr, Gaertner. The drive is worth it. It is very hard to find a dentist that honestly care about you. Dr. Gaertner does.


[LINK] Mobile phone use and risk of glioma in 5 North European countries
rw at firstpr.com.au
Fri Jan 26 13:13:58 AEDT 2007
I have an electronic copy of the article:
Mobile phone use and risk of glioma in 5 North European countries
Anna Lahkola et al.
The find no significant correlation between cellphone usage and the
incidence of gliomas, except for a subset of people (77) who have been
using cellphones for more than 10 years, on one side of the head, and
who have a glioma on that side. These figures suggest a 39% increase in
risk of glioma for that subset.
How widespread was GSM before 1996 in Europe? I would have thought it
was only just being introduced then. I guess that this subset of people
who said they had been using a cellphone for more than 10 years were
probably not using GSM in those earlier years.
The survey ignores low power cordless and DECT phones. They distinguish
between "analog" and "digital" phones, but I this is not very helpful.
Part of the problem is interviewing people and trying to discern a
potentially 10 year history of using various kinds of phone, when most
people have little idea or recollection as to whether it was AMPS, GSM,
CDMA, 3G with GSM fall-back etc. - and there are two major flavours of
3G and a variety of radio frequency ranges.
One thing which I think should be considered is GSM phones, which
transmit in 0.577 ms pulses with a 4.615 ms period (~217 Hz).
During most conversations the power is low, assuming the base-station is
not too far away. However, at times, the transmitter uses full power
and this draws a significant current, also in these brief pulses, from
the battery. This leads to strong changing magnetic fields.
In the past, I have been able to observe these low frequency (217Hz and
its harmonics 434Hz etc.) simply by holding the GSM phone to the screen
of a CRT monitor, and turning it on. The magnetic field would deflect
the electron beams so the whole picture shook millimetres or
centimetres. I tried it now with a 21" Trinitron monitor - the same
phone but a different monitor from what I used in the past - and I
wasn't able to see any effect.
CDMA, 3G and analogue phones would have continual moderate current drain
from the battery. Only a GSM phone (or a 3G phone falling back to GSM)
would draw these pulses of current and so create both a strong and a
changing magnetic field. I think this field should not be ignored as a
potential cause of health problems.
Many people now use a flip-out phone, with the antenna an inch or so
away from their head. Although the whole phone radiates RF, I guess
that this is better than the original single body designs where the
antenna was typically resting against the head. The low frequency
magnetic field emanation from a GSM phone would be much the same for a
flip-out phone as a single-body one.
I am still using a chunky old GSM Nokia 7110 from 2000, with a wired
microphone and earpiece. The cable goes through a clip-on ferrite
inductor for Justin - Just In Case. The phone works fine, and is still
on its original battery, but I don't use it a lot.

If you’ve ever wanted to see UFC commentators Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg freaking out over the new Star Wars trailer, this is the video for you. It’s ultimately a sneaky ad for UFC 186, this Saturday on PPV, but it’s still pretty great to see Rogan giggling like a kid when Han Solo shows up at the end. I can find Rogan and Goldberg tedious at times, but now I need to see their reactions to other movie trailers or the rest of the Star Wars films. Hopefully he uses his “throw that thing in the trash” line about Beatum the Robot for Jar-Jar Binks.

FR3SH TrX “Better“ – feel the groove!
13 releases in 13 months, Sven Hessel aka FR3SH TrX was busy! While his collab with Tom Skobe and the joint track “Laila” is still in various dance charts, the German producer and KHB Music boss is releasing his latest single “Better”.
The song combines classic House elements and driving beats with modern sounds and is embedded in a radio-friendly Pop structure that is refined by dynamic vocals.
So far, Fr3SH TrX songs have been streamed about 2 million times on Spotify alone, which the producer is very happy about and that is, of course, motivation to continue on the path he has taken…
