SF Bay Guardian
Boxer on logging
I was stunned to see the ad that ran in the Bay Guardian [11/19/97] attacking the executive director of the Sierra Club and me. I have been working to protect the environment all my adult life. The subject of the ad is opposition to the Quincy Library Group bill. Amazingly, the ad proclaims that I am the author of the bill; I am not. After the bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 429 to 1, it was clear the bill was headed on a fast track to passage, and I wanted to try to improve it.
At that point I decided the best way to effect necessary improvements in the bill was to become a co-sponsor of it. My staff and I have spent countless hours working with environmentalists and members of Congress on a series of amendments.
Some of these improvements were added to the bill, such as:
1. Limits on the project's duration.
2. Requirement for independent reviews of the project on an annual basis and in a final report.
3. Language in the report that clarifies that the QLG timber management plan will be in lieu of, not in addition to, the current plan.
4. Language in the report that clarifies that this is a unique project that will require congressional oversight and review.
However, these improvements were not enough for me to finally vote for the bill, and I was prepared to vote "no" on the bill's passage in the Senate. I am particularly disturbed that the bill does not include specific language to protect the most sensitive old-growth areas identified by the Sierra Nevada Ecosystem Report.
The bill never did come to the full Senate by the end of the session. In the next session, I plan to remove my name as a co-sponsor. Independent environmental organizations such as the League of Conservation Voters continue to give me among the highest environmental ratings in the Congress. I am committed to continuing my work to preserve our God-given environment.
SEN. BARBARA BOXER (D-Calif.)
Boxer's logging bill
Sen. Barbara Boxer claims she was "stunned" by the recent advertisement in the Bay Guardian criticizing her and Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club. Why should someone as accomplished and sophisticated as a United States senator be stunned by the truth?
I worked with the Senator's Office on the previous "salvage logging bill," and she claimed to understand its implications. She acknowledged it was a bad bill and assured me she would help to stop it. Instead, she signed on as a cosponsor to Salvage Logging II, the Quincy Library Group bill.
The Quincy Library Group bill is another slick, lawyer-lobbyist version of the salvage logging bill that devastated our national forests. It is based on the completely scientifically unfounded premise that logging and road-building improve forest health.
President Clinton originally vetoed the salvage logging bill, calling it unacceptable. After signing it, he promised to rescind it. Al Gore later apologized for the bill, calling it "the worse mistake of President Clinton's first term in office." At the end of the last session of Congress, the president finally did rescind the bill.
So why do we see salvage logging rearing its ugly head again, disguised as the feel-good "win-win" consensus of the locals in Quincy? Because the timber industry can't get off the dole of the taxpayers to the tune of at least a billion dollars a year! Because the lawyers want a new BMW, the lobbyists a pad in the country -- and the politicians can't get elected without huge contributions from the corporations!
It is beyond my belief that anyone could fail
to see the complicity of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and
Carl Pope and how they have been corrupted by the system. Senator
Boxer knew this bill was a wolf in sheep's clothing. She states
in her rebuttal to the ad [Letters, 12/3/97] that she thought it
was "heading on a fast track to passage, and I wanted to try
to improve it. I decided the best way to effect necessary
improvements in the bill was to become a cosponsor." Isn't
that like trying to save the forest by clearcutting it? Why
didn't she simply put a hold on the bill, as a senator from
Vermont finally was moved to do?
LEWIS D. SEILER President, V.O.T.E. Action Committee
Senator Boxer's sudden opposition to S. 1028, the deceptive Quincy Library Group bill, is pure smoke designed to appease her environmental supporters. Are we to believe that she became a cosponsor of the bill out of "opposition" to it when she said on the floor of the Senate, "I hope we are able to pass this legislation quickly so that we will soon be able to see the proposal implemented on the ground"?
She claims to have worked to protect the environment all her adult life. That is total crap. She did nothing to save the Headwaters Forest, she supported NAFTA and GATT, and it took direct prodding in the pages of this newspaper for her to rescind her sponsorship of the bill that many consider the worst forest legislation of the century. Until she actively fights to stop S. 1028, opposes disastrous "free trade" agreements that export jobs and despoil the environment, and sponsors Rep. Cynthia McKinney's bill to end logging in national forests, I consider her a servile, obsequious greenwasher.

Marvel’s next Disney+ series, Moon Knight, arrives in a month and it promises to be darker, edgier than anything they’ve done on the network. For that we’ll have directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead to thank, and clearly Marvel likes what they did because the duo are expanding their influence in the MCU with an even bigger series.
Deadline reports Benson and Moorhead are set to direct Loki season 2, taking over from Kate Herron who has moved on to different projects. Tom Hiddleston will return as the Asgardian trickster, of course, and we know to expect Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Sophia Di Martino, as well.
Michael Waldron, who penned Loki‘s first season and Doctor Strange 2, has moved to a producer role while Eric Martin has been hired to write all second season episodes.
Benson and Moorhead were part of a directing group on Moon Knight but they did enough to earn the top job with Loki. From there, perhaps a Marvel feature will be next? The duo previously directed indie sci-fi hits The Endless and Synchronic.

A cloud of uncertainty continues to hang over the country’s education system, despite today’s agreement by educators to return to the classroom while new timelines are issued to authorities.
The Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) said further action was likely to be taken if officials failed to respond to three new deadlines to appoint temporary teachers and address problems at the Alma Parris and Parkinson Memorial schools.
Following an almost three-hour meeting at Solidarity House, attended by an estimated 1,500 educators, the BUT did not say exactly what course of action it would resort to if the demands were not met within the two-week and six-week timelines.
“We can’t determine what happens after the two weeks or the six weeks but I’m sure something will happen after the six or after the two. Hopefully, we’ll have something during [the period] to please us,” president Pedro Shepherd told the media following the talks.
During the meeting, which followed the expiration of a 72-hour ultimatum for action on their grievances, the BUT agreed to issue three new deadlines to the Ministry of Education and the Personnel Administration Division.
It also plans to write to Prime Minister Freundel Stuart in his capacity as Minister of the Civil Service, asking that the appointment of teachers be speeded up.
“We have given the Personnel Administration Division six weeks to complete the appointment of all temporary teachers in Barbados. We are also going to write to the Personnel Administration Division asking for the complement of teachers to be increased from the present 2,564 established positions to 3,000. We want an increase of 436 because the system needs them; the system cannot function without these persons,” said Shepherd, explaining that those people were already in the system.
“We have asked the Ministry of Education, Science, Innovation and Technology to give us some indication within the next two weeks as to the status of the current investigation being conducted into the Parkinson Secondary School and two weeks to give us some indication . . . as to what the plan of action, which is being instituted at the Alma Parris Secondary School, would bring.”
Explaining the seriousness of the situation facing temporary teachers, the BUT boss said some appointments were outstanding up to 15 years and some teachers were unable to secure financing as a result.
Others who have been successful, he added, had encountered difficulties.
Shepherd was adamant that the situation must be addressed.
“We do not believe that those timelines are unrealistic. I believe that whatever has to be done at those two schools, the Ministry has already been forwarded all the information. So it’s just a matter of them to get the plan of action going, get whatever procedures are necessary in place,” he said.
The union official pledged that the BUT would “not relent on these issues”, describing the teachers’ concerns as legitimate.
He said today’s meeting also called for the Ministry of Education to meet with teachers at the Alma Parris and Parkinson schools to inform them of what they were doing to address the areas of concern.
At least two uniformed police officers were on the scene today, but the atmosphere at Solidarity House remained calm.
After filling parking spotson the compound, scores of teachers had to resort to parking at the nearby Weymouth car park.
They returned to the classroom following the meeting.

Website UI & UX
The Halo Group specialises in the design and construction of steel structures, operating from their base in London and undertaking projects both in the UK and globally. Renowned for their innovative approach, they push the boundaries of modular structures to craft unparalleled experiences that unite people. Combining the permanence of traditional buildings with the adaptability of temporary structures. They sought a revamped website to showcase their diverse range of modular structures designed for events, sports, and festivals.
I curated a fresh design featuring a sophisticated dark palette complemented by vibrant neon colours. The inclusion of pearlescent glowing accents was a deliberate nod to the dynamic lighting rigs integral to their event structures. The website design incorporates a series of thoughtfully crafted components, employing animated transitions, a harmonious interplay of light and dark elements, sharp angled dividers, and engaging neon hover states.
This strategic design not only enhances the visual appeal but also ensures a seamless user experience. I introduced a range of versatile and reusable case study components, empowering Halo to effectively showcase their remarkable work. The result is a website that not only captures the essence of their innovative projects but also facilitates effortless content updates, allowing Halo to consistently showcase their latest accomplishments with ease.

Gütersloh/Cologne/New York, September 14, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Thanks to the new partnership with make.tv, arvato Systems offers important benefits to their Enterprise MAM clients: Regardless of origin, make.tv ensures that all incoming streams are ingested into their scalable Cloud architecture. Streams can include contributions from users as well as journalists, and can have been made on anything from professional broadcast technology through to a smartphone.
Multiple inputs require intensive monitoring and, using the multi-view facility provided by make.tv, the editorial team can stay up-to-date with up to 12 live feeds at the same time. As the editorial teams curate incoming streams within the make.tv Cloud, bandwidth and storage are conserved. Content is immediately available in arvato Systems’ “VPMS” Media Asset Management system and, using the latest “EditMate” features, high end remote editing is now a reality.
"This partnership provides our major broadcast customers with a truly future-oriented production method and supports our current Cloud strategy. The journey that media content takes from recording to distribution has been shortened to an extent that is positively revolutionary."
Stefan Eckardt, Head of Product & Presales Digital Media Management
A live feed is more than a one-way information flow: selecting an input source in the Live Video Cloud makes it available for direct chat, voice or intercom communication – saving precious time and enabling real-time changes where needed.
Video streams are assigned directly to local broadcasting environments, live streaming destinations such as YouTube live, CDNs – as well as production systems such as “EditMate” or the “VPMS” MAM system. These target systems can then launch further workflows e.g. archiving. For “VPMS” users, the add-on is in the Cloud so no software installation is required – and its intuitive interface means no additional training either.
“We are delighted that arvato Systems has decided to use our Live Video Cloud”, says Andreas Jacobi, CEO of make.tv. “With the integration of our Live Video Cloud, arvato Systems is offering its customers many possibilities to quickly acquire, curate and ingest live content and recorded material.”

Those of you who don’t watch Game Of Thrones TV series might not understand the title, so let me explain it. 😀
Khaleesi is a caracter in GoT series, strong female one who is caring and fearless, badass and Mother of dragons. Which is also super badass. I love her caracter, but I haven’t seen the first episode of 4th season, so NO SPOILERS! 😛
Why is this my title anyway? I got not one but two awards from Alienora from ALIEN AURA’S BLOG for which I am very thankful. You really moved me with your explanation of your nominees… I felt like a ⭐

I am honored every time I get an award, although I don’t always follow the rules. It’s the rebel in me. So, thank you dear Alienora, I care for you and your writing and I’m glad our paths crossed in WP community. ❤
I leave you with one of my favorite scenes from Game of Thrones, you will see why I like her:

So you quit your band right in the middle of an important gig, in front of the audience. You told them, via a public post on social media, that the reasons you were leaving were both their lack of talent and their body odors. Then you slept with the bassist’s girlfriend. All your former band mates now resent you. No worries, it’s never too late to make up for your poor life choices. Here’s How to beg your band to take you back you didn’t mean it guys, you were just depressed.
Be brutally honest
It’s a good thing you weren’t honest about the real reasons you were quitting. That way you don’t have to apologize for all those truths you would have said. But now it’s time to tell the truth about why you want to get back in: You need the money. You’ve had just about enough mayo sandwiches, you have no work experience, you’d even accept a door split gig. Honesty is allowed in this case because everyone can relate to your financial problems, and therefore feel sympathy for you. But this might not be enough. Read on.
Choose the best time
What you want to do is resurface strategically. Not too soon (give them time to forget the hurtful things you said about Terry) and not too late. Carefully choose a moment when you know they need you the most. Do they have a tour coming soon? Dates that were already booked before you quit?
Of course, if you’re a guitar player, forget all of the above. Do it as soon as possible before they find a sub.
Communicate with respect
If you want your band to take you back, respect the shit out of those guys. I mean, next level respect. Wear a clean t-shirt (even clean jeans, if you feel it’s necessary), sober up and show up. In person. Even if it means a 15 minute bus ride and a $2,25 ticket. Consider it an investment in your future.
Apologize (if you have to)
At first, you might experience some resistance when trying to contact your old mates. Phone numbers might have changed, restraining orders might have been put in place. All of this is normal, and you must not be discouraged. Keep trying for another couple of days. If you still don’t get an answer, that’s when you can start thinking about apologizing.
“I didn’t mean to quit. I was just depressed. None of this is my fault. Apologizing for what?” you think. Well, let me tell you something I’ve learned from years of experience: at this point, it doesn’t matter. Just be the adult in the room and say you’re sorry. Be vulnerable. You can even throw in a bit of “I love you guys” if you feel the apology doesn’t reach deep enough into their hearts.
Well, I hope this has helped you get back in your band and I wish you happiness in your future endeavors with them. And remember, if it doesn’t work out, you can always quit.

OLYMPIA — Students with seizure disorders deserve to feel safe at school. That safety requires that teachers know what to do if a student experiences a seizure on campus. Currently, there is no set process for ensuring that teachers who have students with seizure disorders know how to respond to a medical event. House Bill 1085, sponsored by Rep. Shelley Kloba (D-Kirkland) fixes that problem by requiring school districts to create Individual Health Plans for students with seizure disorders. Additionally, it requires training for key adults in the school on how to respond to a seizure. HB 1085 passed the House unanimously today.
“All children deserve access to a high-quality education, but it is hard to focus when you are constantly concerned about a medical condition,” said Kloba. “This bill will give children with seizure disorders and their families the peace of mind they need to focus on learning.”
Individual Health Plans (IHP) are already required in schools for students with diabetes and life-threatening allergies. IHPs have proven to be a powerful tool to protect students with health issues and we should make them available for students with seizure disorders. This bill simply extends that protection to students with seizure disorders.
“The Epilepsy Foundation of Washington has been a constant advocate for this policy,” said Kloba. “It is their steadfast commitment that has helped get this lifesaving policy across the line.”
The legislation now heads to the Senate.

Psychopath is traditionally defined as a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, egotistical traits.
Now a UBC study has found that people with higher levels of psychopathic tendencies are more likely to assault their romantic partners.
In addition, these people are more likely to drink alcohol.
The study, which was conducted at UBC’s Okanagan campus, involved looking at data and police reports involving 700 US civil psychiatric patients in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as well as 870 students at UBC’s campus in Kelowna, BC.
Researchers found that having higher levels of psychopathic personality traits is an important predictor of how likely someone is to engage in intimate partner violence.
While they also found that people with psychopathic tendencies tended to drink more alcohol, the data tells us it is their personality traits more than substance use that is associated with violence.
With further investigation, this research may be able to assist policy makers and service providers in their efforts to both predict and reduce violence among couples.
The research also showed that association between psychopathic personality traits and violence was consistent across both students and psychiatric patients.
The finding was recently published in the journal Law and Human Behaviour.

Switching Channels (1988) is a English movie. Ted Kotcheff has directed this movie. Kathleen Turner,Burt Reynolds,Christopher Reeve,Ned Beatty are the starring of this movie. It was released in 1988. Switching Channels (1988) is considered one of the best Comedy,Crime movie in India and around the world.
Sully is the producer of a cable news network program. Christy is his ex-wife and best reporter. Her desire to quit the news business and marry Blaine, a sporting goods manufacturer comes as an innocent man is about to be executed. Sully's attempts to keep her in town and break up her upcoming marriage happen against the backdrop of a botched execution, a prison break and a possible pardon.
Fans of Switching Channels (1988) also like
This is really worth rediscovering - Turner and co really throw themselves into it and (shock) Reeve sends himself up excellently (particularly good in the 'vertigo in the lift' scene. As revealed elsewhere, it's a remake of The Front Page - in fact right now can't think of a better way to spend a rainy afternoon than a double bill of these two in front of a nice fire :-) So - not going to change your life - but I'll cheer you up.
Updating of "The Front Page" to 1988. Star reporter Christy (Kathleen Turner) on the Satellite Network News is burnt out. She takes a vacation and meets big, hunky, rich Blaine (Christopher Reeve) and falls in love (only in movies...). She plans to leave work to marry Blaine, but her ex-husband and boss Sully (Burt Reynolds) is unwilling to let her go and tries to sabotage their plans any way he can. Not as good as 1940s "His Girl Friday" but not as bad as the 1970s "The Front Page"--it really does work. It's quick, loud and never stops moving (especially at the end). It also helps that the entire cast is in full throttle--Turner, Reeve and Reynolds are relaxed, eager and full of energy--they really put across the movie. Turner and Reynolds especially are surprising--who knew they could do comedy? And Reeve kids his goody two-shoes image and his Superman character (he's afraid of heights in this one). Also Ned Beatty has quite a few funny moments as a slimy politician. The updating from the newspaper world to cable TV occasionally doesn't work and there are some really contrived situations here and there but not enough to destroy the movie. Also quite dated--get a look at those HUGE cordless phones! Still I enjoyed this film a lot. A bomb (sadly) in its day--this deserves rediscovery.
This is my favorite comedy from the 1980's. I really wish this movie was out on DVD but for now I have to settle for my old VHS of it. It is a remake of the old Cary Grant "His Gal Friday" movie from the 1940's. Christopher Reeve, Burt Reynolds & Kathleen Turner play off one another and have great chemistry together. One funny scene has Christopher Reeve in a glass elevator having a panic attack because he has a fear of heights. This movie also stars Chris Reeve's "Superman I & II" co-star Ned Beaty as a crooked politician running for governor. All in all, this a highly fast passed, really funny comedy. I very much recommend renting this from your local video store.
SPOILER This movie should be (but hardly ever is) judged on its own merits as opposed to as a remake of "His Girl Friday" an "The Front Page". It is a fast paced movie full of twists and turns and political satire that I still find hilarious and edgy. Part of what makes it work is that the story takes place at a Chicago-based cable news network. The newspaper, which was regarded as the most up-to-date medium in "The Front Page," is mocked by news anchors as primitive while they check their makeup. Kathleen Turner is Christine Colleran, the tough news anchor with a conscience; Burt Reynolds hilariously plays Sully, her ex-husband/boss who unscrupulously scouts stories while being badgered by the Ted Turner-esque head of the network to put on more "smutless fires". Christopher Reeve plays Christine's one-dimensional yuppie fiance, Blaine Bingham. Henry Gibson makes a surprising turn as the timid Ike Roscoe, who is on death row for killing his son's drug dealer (who happened to be an undercover cop). The story revolves around Roscoe's execution: the gung-ho Attorney General (Ned Beatty) wants Roscoe executed so he can win the upcoming Governor's election. The Governor (a Reagan-esque Charles Kimbrough) wants to pardon Roscoe so he can win the election. TV reporters are scrambling like rats around a carcass looking for a hot (and preferably exclusive) scoop. The only people who seem concerned for Roscoe himself are Christine and Roscoe's attorney girlfriend, Pamela, derisively referred to as "the conscience of America." Meanwhile, Sully is trying to stop Christine from quitting the news business so she can live with Blaine in New York. First, Sully has his interns book all New York-bound flights leaving within the next 24 hours. Then he has Blaine subjected to strip searches and sends the acrophobic Blaine to a skyscraper with a glass elevator. Then Sully tries one last tactic to seduce Christine back into the news business, and subsequently back into his life: to have her do one last interview with Ike Roscoe. It would bring in monster ratings, and oh yeah, it might get the guy pardoned or whatever. And if you're looking for a history lesson, watch Christine talking to Blaine on her "cell phone."
I thought the updating of the Front Page to the electronic era was surprisingly relevant and poignant. Henry Gibson is a standout in an excellent cast. The laughs and stories are updated for modern audiences and lose surprisingly little in the translation. The chemistry between Reynolds and Turner is pretty hot. All in all quite entertaining.

ixty-five years ago, on October 21, 1952, the people of the then Kenya Colony awoke to reports that about 100 prominent Kenyans had been arrested and detained in 24 hours by the colonial security forces as part of Operation Jock Scott.
Among the scores arrested on October 20, which today Kenyans celebrate as Mashujaa (Heroes) Day, was a group that would soon become known as the Kapenguria Six: Bildad Kaggia, Kung’u Karumba, Jomo Kenyatta, Fred Kubai, Paul Ngei, and Achieng’ Oneko.
Inasmuch as the histories of the six are known, there were other Independence heroes, such as trade unionist Makhan Singh, who are not as well known as they should be.
When the Kapenguria Six began serving their seven-year term in detention, they found Makhan Singh already in jail. And when they were freed in August 1961, Makhan was still held under restriction for almost another year.
Back in 2006, I read and wrote a review of Zarina Patel’s fantastic book about him, Unquiet: The Life and Times of Makhan Singh. This story of how Singh and others were mistreated and sidelined after the Independence they had fought so hard for was attained, is a tale that Kenyans need to read to help them understand how we arrived at the place we are at today, where all the struggles for the second liberation, the 2010 constitution and democracy, seem set to be reversed.
Singh was one of many who suffered in the struggle and sacrificed all he had, including his family life and comforts, in the fight for Kenya’s Independence, and the bid to see Kenya freed from colonialism.
When Independence came, they were cast aside by their erstwhile comrades-in-arms as they rushed to enrich themselves and their new cronies, many of whom had been on the other side as homeguards and collaborators of the colonialists.
As Zarina Patel said at the book launch: “Makhan Singh would not dance, he would only march,and soon he was out of step with the post-Independence leaders. He was not alone. Pio Gama Pinto was assassinated, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga was detained, Pranlal Sheth was deported and many other great stalwarts, including Bildad Kaggia, were sidelined. The calls for land reform, fairer distribution of wealth and democracy for the majority, did not sit well with the neo-colonial regime, which had grabbed ‘Independence’.”
Makhan Singh had distinguished himself in the struggle by refusing to accept a trade union movement segregated by race and poisoned by the colonial Apartheid that classified black Africans and Asians in a humiliating hierarchy.
By June 1963, self governance had come, and with it Jomo Kenyatta’s government, which ironically included more people who had fought against the KLFA than had fought for freedom.
Singh died in 1973 with only family, friends and a handful of comrades from the trade union movement to attend his funeral. The government sent nobody and paid no tribute to this great Kenyan patriot. I wonder if that was because they were embarrassed to be mourning not just the man, but their erstwhile ideals as well.

Back pain is a common ailment among millions of adults. In fact most adults will have experienced some form of back pain by the time they reach the age of 40. Science indicates that 9 out of 10 adults are sporadically affected by mild to acute back pain. While some will suffer from irregular bouts of mild back pain, many will suffer chronic and debilitating back pain that require intense pain treatments.
Perhaps the most common form of back pain is caused by muscle strain or stress but in many other instances it is due to a herniated disc, pulled ligaments, lumbar pressure or nerve compression. The major problems with back pain is that a lack of formal treatment can cause the muscles to weaken further, which only leads to more intense back pain.
Often when there is pain located in one area of the body, we subconsciously shift our body weight to compensate for the weak muscle by relying more heavily on the stronger muscles. This can then cause back pain to shift to the healthy area of the back, exacerbating the previous pain.
Back Pain Causes
The most common form of back pain is lower back pain and it can be caused by many different things. Often lower back pain is due to compression of a nerve, such as the sciatic nerve. This nerve compression occurs due to spinal deformities, deterioration of joints, a slipped disc or vertebral fractures. These factors often lead to persistent and excruciating pain.
There are other, less innocuous causes for back pain that are mostly related to lifestyle factors. If you spend a great deal of time lifting heavy objects, lifting incorrectly can cause muscles strains and sprains that are quite painful. Likewise, improper posture can lead to back pain as well as neck pain.
The good news is that preventative measures can be taken to combat lifestyle-related back pain. If the pain persists however, you should see a back specialist right away.
Treating Back Pain
There are as many ways to treat back pain as there are causes for back pain. In fact, many of the available back pain treatments can be performed at home before seeking professional assistance. Resting is a highly effective method of treating back pain because it allows the muscles to return to the correct position and relieves the stress and pressure on the joints. Therapeutic pillows are very helpful when placed under the knees while lying down. If you need to use this treatment for more than several consecutive days that indicates you need more help than a back pillow can offer.
While the back does require regular rest for a speedy recovery, too much rest can be as detrimental to your back health as not enough. Extended periods of rest can weaken muscles, which is why you should intersperse these periods of rest with periods of mild physical activity.
Before you make the trip to your doctor, you may want to rely on heat therapy and over the counter pain medication. A heating pad or warm compress for no more than a half hour will relax the tension of the muscles and help reduce pain. Pain medication that is most effective for treating back pain will have anti-inflammatory as well as pain relief properties. Over the counter pain medication that can do both include ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen.
Stretching and exercise have also proven very effective for treating back pain. All back pain sufferers can benefit from stretching the muscles to relax and soothe them. Regardless of your pain level you should be able to perform at few stretches for relief. Mild exercise can also work to strengthen the back muscles, which will balance them out and reduce the risk of muscle imbalances.
Before you begin any exercise regimen as treatment for back pain, consult with a physical therapist.
The best form of back pain treatment is prevention through regular stretching and exercise programs, ergonomic office equipment and proper posture. Lifting with the knees rather than the back can prevent strain, pulling and stress on back muscles. Finally learning how to manage life stress can reduce your risk of back pain. Consult your physician for effective ways to manage stress.

A burn that involves the epidermis only (e.g., sunburn); it is referred to as a partial-thickness burn. This type of burn heals within a few days without treatment.
Damage occurs to both the epidermis and the dermis; this also is referred to as a partial-thickness burn. It heals within a few weeks with topical treatment.
This may be an electrical, chemical, or thermal burn. It results in permanent damage to the skin and underlying tissues; it is referred to as a full-thickness burn. These burns require debridement and skin grafting to maintain skin integrity.
For diseased or traumatized tissue to heal, all devitalized or infected areas must be removed. Damaged or dead cells prevent the formation of fibrin, collagen, and other matrix tissue that binds the healing tissues. The process of removing the diseased, damaged, or infected tissue is called debridement.

In the past, having a roommate was commonly associated with post secondary education and largely treated as something that everyone would eventually grow out of.
Current economic conditions including wealth inequality and low interest rates have led to skyrocketing real estate prices.
Suddenly having a roommate is no longer an option to save money. In many major cities it has actually become a necessity for a large percentage of the population.

One evening in late June. A small man dressed all in black appeared at an intersection in front of Harajuku Station. He was Nijiro Murakami, 25, the son of actor Jun Murakami (48) and singer UA (50), who is currently enjoying his breakthrough as a handsome second-generation celebrity.
Even his modest attire did not stop his aura from overflowing, and the area in front of the station was soon buzzing with passersby who noticed Murakami.
Murakami himself, however, was unperturbed. With the wind whipping at his shoulders, he headed straight for the Takeshita-dori entrance.
After about 10 minutes, he bought a toothbrush and other consumables, got into a cab, and drove off in the direction of his home.
Speaking of Murakami, since FRIDAY reported his reconciliation and semi-living together with model Eliza Ikeda (26) in July 2006, there have been no rumors of a love affair. On the other hand, his work is going very well. She has been busy appearing in the drama “10 Counts to the Future” (TV Asahi) starring Kimura and the movie “The Hound of the Baskervilles.
He is known for his mysterious and shadowy characters, but he also played a comical character in a play written and directed by Kudo Kankuro (51) in 2009.
In the movie “Rurouni Kenshin,” he also showed off his sword fighting skills and is breaking new ground as an action actor. He is an actor who can eventually work in Hollywood. I think he is now making his way as an actor,” said columnist Tamami Hiyama.
The day when he becomes a world-class actor is near!

New stats from the UN’s International Telecommunication Union. The percentage of the global population using the internet surged from 54% to 63% between 2019 and 2021. There’s an extensive urban, and rural divide – 76% versus 39%, and age is a factor too. Africa is far behind, at only 33% of the population using the internet, versus at least 60% in every other region.
Why do we care?
I’d noted this data and wanted to make sure I shared it – it’s about a bit of perspective. It’s important to remember that not everyone is online – broadly, across the world, but also in local communities. Access to digital technologies will continue to open up markets, even locally – it may be broadly consumer-driven… yet that still opens up growth for downstream customers and customer’s customers. Just keep that in the back of our minds.

While neither of these surveys of nonconformist Russian artists is complete unto itself, they perfectly complement each other. Matthew and Renee Baigell, a professor of art history and a student of Russian literature, respectively, offer interviews they conducted with 47 Russian artists who worked outside the government-ordained school of Socialist Realism. Their interviews were conducted recently, spurred by the donation to Rutgers University of Norton Dodge's significant collection of unoffical art assembled over more than three decades. (For more on Dodge, see John McPhee's The Ransom of Russian Art, LJ 11/1/94.) Reprinted verbatim, the interviews are straightforward and as often biographical as analytical in subject matter. Collectively, they offer a singularly clear picture of the trials, and vastly dissimilar experiences, of artists operating at once under and outside a totalitarian regime. While it provides invaluable context, the book lacks both illustrations and an overarching art historical analysis, leaving the reader's appetite whetted but unsatisfied. A catalog of more than 40 paintings from the late 1980s and early 1990s, New Russian Art by contrast offers a vital contemporary sampling, albeit somewhat short on context. The reproductions are large and clear, and the two introductory essays anecdotally describe the building of the collection while offering a quick gloss on the history of the 20th-century Russian avant-garde. Seven of the artists appear in both books. Small art collections might purchase New Russian Art as a sufficient look at recent Russian art, but all larger collections should have both records of this underdocumented milieu.?Eric Bryant, "Library Journal"

A thought from Jason
October 21, 2000
God's 100-yard Dash
When you were conceived, God saw you. When you opened your eyes for the
first time...He smiled. When you grabbed your parentís finger and held on with
such a tight grip, God knew that you would not hold it like that forever. He
knew that with age, your eyes would see what this world has to offer. He knew
that you would like pleasing things that would hurt not only you, but also would
What an amazing thing to fathom. When you were first placed in your
motherís womb, God knew you. He knows everything you are going to say and
knows everything you are going to feel. He is so interested in you. He lives for
the moment you say His name.
He loves you... He loves you... He loves you...
When you took your first step, I bet God smiled. When you said your first word,
God listened. And when you say your last word He awaits your arrival. During
your life you will run away from God. It's not that God couldnít stop you. But
He loves you, and what you want is what He allows. He allows you to run away.
But as soon as you leave home, God waits patiently for you. He knows everything
you want to do. He knows the deep desires of your heart. He sees your needs. He
lives so that you might have life.
When you asked God to be your Lord, He danced over you. If you havenít
talked to Him about being with Him forever, why not do it now? Because Heís
waiting for... guess who? You. Yes you. Take your finger and point it at you.
Now come home. The Lord wants you back. Today, praise Him for His unending love.
The time that God runs is when you turn back and look for Him. The second you
realize you are lost, He sprints to you. He doesnít care how much distance
there is between you and Him. He only cares about getting to you as fast as He
can; which is immediately.
Today I felt God run to me. The struggles in my life caused me to fall to
my knees last night and beg for God to protect me from all the attacks I was
getting. I begged for His arms. God held me last night because I was lost in my
problems, but He ran to me... He ran to me...
Read that again. He will run to you today. Whatever youíre facing, He will run
to you. And when He grabs you and holds you, the enemies of darkness will flee.
There will be a stillness that you have never felt before. So, now I want you to
do something. After you read this, look up from your computer screen and ask God
to come to you. Ask Him to run to you. Even if you donít feel like it, do it
now. Please, Heís waiting to run to you.
Look out over your life, Heís coming, I promise you, Heís
coming. He knew you when you were young, and He knows you now. He wants to run
to you. So look up, ask God, yell for Him, whisper for Him, Heís on his way!
Luke 15:20 "And he got up
and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw
him, and felt compassion for him, and RAN and embraced him, and kissed
Have a blessed day.... Jason

Are you looking for a quick and easy way to increase the ambience in your space? Essential oils are a great way to elevate your lifestyle while creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere.
While there are countless types of essential oils available, choosing a quality oil is important. High-quality aromas can improve your mood while making you feel relaxed.
Does Quality Oil Really Matter?
Buying your essential oils from a reputable company, like aromatechscent.com, is important. There are five different factors that affect the quality of essential oils:
A quality company will source its ingredients from reputable places. They’ll process the ingredients and extract the oils to give you a superior product. It’s important that you purchase a high-quality oil since you’ll be breathing it in.
How to Diffuse Quality Essential Oils
Before you get started selecting what oil to diffuse, it’s important to determine what type of diffuser you’ll be using. A cold-air nebulizer is a superior choice over other methods, like reed, ultrasonic, and candle diffusers.
A cold-air nebulizer is a cleanest and safest way to diffuse your oils. The device filters air from your space to diffuse the scents into a dry mist. You can experience the full range of the oil without it being diluted in a solvent or water.
Cold-air nebulizers preserve the therapeutic power of your essential oils. It also uses less oil to scent a large space. The machine creates a consistent and long-lasting scent.
Which Essential Oils Should I Choose?
The type of essential oils you decide to diffuse depends upon what you’re trying to accomplish with them. Lavender oil has been around for thousands of years. It’s one of the most popular scents available.
Lavender promotes a feeling of relaxation and calm. If you’re looking to settle down for the evening or enjoy a slow afternoon, use lavender in your diffuser.
Another option is chamomile essential oil. Chamomile is a soothing scent that’s great to use as you fall asleep.
Ylang-ylang is another popular essential oil. This oil is made from star-shaped blossoms that are found on a ylang-ylang tree. The scent of ylang-ylang is floral and sweet, with hints of spices.
Frankincense has been around for thousands of years. It’s often used in ceremonies or to scent religious temples.
The smell of frankincense is unique. It smells similar to sweet amber, pine sap, and rosemary. If you’re looking for something a bit more creamy, you might want to try sandalwood.
Increase Your Home’s Ambiance With Quality Essential Oils
Looking for quality oil is important in creating a relaxing environment in your home. Essential oils can improve your life as you breathe in a variety of scents.

You would have thought that the Republicans had learned a lesson from the election of 2012. Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA) said "We have to stop being the party of stupid." They had seminars and meetings where they concluded they needed to become more inclusive of minorities and women and even gays.
But alas, old habits are hard to break. Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus recently announced that Republicans would penalize CNN and NBC by banning them from GOP primary debates if they proceed with planned entertainment programs on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's life.
Really? This looks bad on all levels. Firstly, it borders on taking away the First Amendment's free speech. Secondly, the timing is a little strange because Hillary Clinton has not even announced she is running for president.
Furthermore, it assures that the Republican party will once again be pandering to their own base with only GOP-friendly moderated debates (effectively shutting out many independents and minorities that they pledged to reach out to.)
Priebus went so far as to tell host Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC's Morning Joe that he did not want her moderating a GOP debate because she was not interested in the future of the Republican party. Really?
He may have forgotten that the problem with the 2012 GOP debates was not the mainstream media (many of those "gotcha questions" were asked by Fox News) but rather the quality of the candidates and the mean spirited audiences that booed a gay soldier and cheered executions.
But no, it is easier to go after the media and claim to be victims of not having their message delivered. Never mind that the message of being anti-Obama, anti-jobs bill, anti-climate change legislation, anti-Latino, anti-women, anti-gay, anti-health care, anti-gun control, anti-abortion, anti-lower student loan rates, anti-food stamps, and even anti-FEMA aid might be unpopular with the general public.
It's not as though the GOP has not tried to learn from the Democrats. At first they thought that a long and drawn-out 2008 primary fight between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton would be good for the Republicans as it would tear the Democratic party apart and cause them to use up all their resources. (Hence, Rush Limbaugh began "Operation Chaos" where he convinced his supporters to vote for Hillary in Democratic primaries to lengthen the primary season.)
However, this backfired when the process actually allowed all of the states to become engaged in the Democratic primaries (Pennsylvania actually mattered that year). Both camps created ground offices and featured rallies with the candidates that energized the base that helped in the general election. The many primary debates created more visibility and the fight between the first African-American man and first woman potential nominee captured the nation's imagination.
So, the Republicans then decided to imitate the Democrats and they expanded their nominating process by changing the rewarding of delegates to a percentage of the vote (as the Dems did in 2012) rather than the winner takes all. Then they programmed a massive number of debates.
Needless to say, this strategy backfired as the debates turned off voters (even as the ratings were high) and the primary season droned on and on as one after another frontrunner took on the eventual nominee, Mitt Romney. The way it turned out it seemed Romney eventually won by default.
The thing the GOP did not take into account is that the Democratic primary season eventually helped President Obama because of the graciousness of his opponent, Hillary Clinton, in giving him her whole support thus uniting the party after a long, sometimes tempestuous battle. This did not happen in 2012 with the GOP and Governor Romney.
The Republican Convention seemed like a disparate bunch of individual-minded politicians all pushing their own stories and agenda. We never learned much about Mitt Romney nor heard much support for his message (whatever it was.)
Now, the RNC is acknowledging the 2012 primary season did not help the candidate and are attempting to cut back the number of debates (and banning CNN and NBC which they consider Dem-friendly.) But I believe they are once again miscalculating. Since President Obama had no challengers there were no 2012 Democratic primary debates but that will not be the case in 2016. The Republicans will be competing with the Dems for ratings. Cutting back coverage and the number of debates may not be the way to go.
Also the RNC chair would be considered a bad publicist if the GOP were an entertainment industry (there are similarities between the two and the Dems are winning that battle with its celebrity President). Although many from the right criticized President Obama's latest visit to the Tonight Show, maybe the GOP could learn about reaching regular Americans from the President.
The phrase in Hollywood is "All publicity is good publicity." Although it may seem good for base politics to go after Hillary Clinton and CNN and NBC, the controversy will draw attention to the NBC Clinton mini-series and CNN documentary thus boosting the ratings.
Once again, the GOP is operating in their own little world (also known as the Fox bubble) unaware of another base of voters that showed up in 2012 for President Obama. My hunch is that these voters will not be impressed by the RNC's borderline cowardice in attempting to limit the electorate's participation in the primary process. Just as voter suppression backfired in 2012, I predict so will network banning. Time to fire the publicist.


The German newspaper De Bild is today running a big story about the latest anti-smoking scheme from the European Union.
The EU has declared war against smokers! Brussels wants to eliminate cigarettes with a ‘smoking police’, ashtray bans and high-publicity legal processes against celebrities who enjoy a puff.
De Bild - Europe's best-selling newspaper - is the German equivalent of The Sun so take it with as many pinches of salt as you like, but it says the plans include:
• ‘Smoking police’: The EU states are being asked to set up a system for enforcing the smoking ban, including a system of prosecution. The use of inspectors and enforcement officials is recommended. They will also carry out random spot checks.
• Shock trials: The EU states will be encouraged to carry out sensationalist prosecutions designed to shock the public.
• Ashtray ban: It will be the responsibility of all companies and public services to ensure that there are no ashtrays in the building.
• Celebrities who smoke will also be targeted and exposed publicly as smoking offenders.
• The dossier even defines smoking as including the ownership or handling of a lit cigarette, regardless of whether or not the smoke is actively being inhaled.

Part of Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 36 (NeurIPS 2023) Main Conference Track
Xiangyu Sun, Oliver Schulte
A fundamental problem of causal discovery is cause-effect inference, to learn the correct causal direction between two random variables. Significant progress has been made through modelling the effect as a function of its cause and a noise term, which allows us to leverage assumptions about the generating function class. The recently introduced heteroscedastic location-scale noise functional models (LSNMs) combine expressive power with identifiability guarantees. LSNM model selection based on maximizing likelihood achieves state-of-the-art accuracy, when the noise distributions are correctly specified. However, through an extensive empirical evaluation, we demonstrate that the accuracy deteriorates sharply when the form of the noise distribution is misspecified by the user. Our analysis shows that the failure occurs mainly when the conditional variance in the anti-causal direction is smaller than that in the causal direction. As an alternative, we find that causal model selection through residual independence testing is much more robust to noise misspecification and misleading conditional variance.


CRM Systems and Chatbots
In today’s business landscape, customer relationship management (CRM) systems play a vital role in managing and nurturing customer interactions. These systems enable businesses to track customer data, enhance sales processes, and provide exceptional customer service. However, with the rising popularity of chatbots, integrating them with CRM systems has become crucial for organizations seeking to improve customer interactions and streamline operations. This blog aims to delve into the significance of integrating chatbots with CRM systems and explore the benefits, best practices, and challenges associated with this integration.
CRM systems serve as a centralized hub for managing customer data, enabling businesses to efficiently track and analyze interactions throughout the customer journey. These systems capture information such as customer preferences, purchase history, and communication records, empowering organizations to deliver personalized experiences. On the other hand, chatbots are AI-powered conversational agents designed to interact with customers in a human-like manner. They can provide instant support, answer queries, assist with transactions, and offer personalized recommendations. Integrating chatbots with CRM systems enables the seamless flow of data between the two, creating a powerful synergy that enhances customer experiences.

The Benefits of Integrating Chatbots with CRM Systems
Enhanced Customer Service and Support
Integrating chatbots with CRM systems allows businesses to provide round-the-clock customer support. Chatbots can handle repetitive queries, offer self-service options, and provide immediate responses to common questions. By accessing CRM data, chatbots can also offer personalized assistance, such as order status updates or recommendations based on previous purchases. This enhanced customer service leads to higher satisfaction levels and reduces the burden on human support agents.
Improved Lead Generation and Conversion
Chatbots integrated with CRM systems can engage with potential customers at various touchpoints, collecting valuable lead information in real time. By qualifying leads and capturing contact details, chatbots can seamlessly transfer prospects to sales teams for follow-up. The integration ensures that the lead data is instantly recorded within the CRM system, enabling efficient lead nurturing and increasing the chances of conversion.
Personalized Customer Interactions
Integrating chatbots with CRM systems allows for a deeper understanding of customers’ preferences, purchase history, and behavioral patterns. Armed with this knowledge, chatbots can deliver personalized recommendations, targeted promotions, and tailored content to customers. By offering relevant and personalized experiences, businesses can foster customer loyalty and drive repeat purchases.
Streamlined Data Collection and Analysis
Chatbot-CRM integration automates the collection and organization of customer data, eliminating the need for manual data entry. As chatbots interact with customers, they capture valuable information, which is then seamlessly synchronized with the CRM system. This automated data collection reduces errors and ensures data consistency, enabling businesses to gain valuable insights and make data-driven decisions for marketing, sales, and customer service strategies.
24/7 Availability and Scalability
Integrating chatbots with CRM systems provides businesses with the advantage of 24/7 availability. Unlike human agents who have limited working hours, chatbots can handle customer inquiries at any time, across different time zones. Moreover, chatbots can handle multiple conversations simultaneously, ensuring scalability and reducing customer wait times. This availability and scalability contribute to improved customer satisfaction and increased operational efficiency.
Best Practices for Integrating Chatbots with CRM Systems
Define Clear Objectives and Use Cases
Before integrating chatbots with CRM systems, it is crucial to define clear objectives and identify specific use cases. Determine the tasks and interactions that chatbots will handle, such as lead qualification, customer support, or order tracking. Aligning chatbot functionalities with business goals ensures targeted and effective integrations.
Seamless Data Integration and Synchronization
To ensure a successful integration, it is essential to establish a seamless flow of data between the chatbot and CRM systems. This involves mapping the data fields, establishing data synchronization processes, and implementing APIs or integration tools that facilitate real-time data exchange. By integrating the systems effectively, businesses can ensure accurate and up-to-date customer information across platforms.
Customization and Personalization
Every business has unique customer interactions and requirements. It is crucial to customize the chatbot’s behavior and responses to align with the brand’s tone, style, and specific customer needs. By tailoring the chatbot’s interactions, businesses can create a more personalized experience for customers, fostering a stronger connection and increasing engagement.
Continuous Monitoring and Improvement
The integration of chatbots with CRM systems is an ongoing process that requires continuous monitoring and improvement. Regularly analyze the chatbot’s performance, track customer interactions, and collect feedback to identify areas for enhancement. Utilize analytics and reporting tools to gain insights into customer behavior and optimize the chatbot’s effectiveness in meeting customer needs.
Overcoming Challenges with Chatbot to CRM Integration
Data Privacy and Security Concerns
Integrating chatbots with CRM systems involves handling sensitive customer data. It is crucial to prioritize data privacy and security. Implement measures such as encryption, access controls, and compliance with data protection regulations to safeguard customer information and maintain their trust.
Ensuring Seamless User Experience
A seamless user experience is paramount in chatbot-CRM integration. The chatbot should provide clear and concise responses, understand user intent accurately, and handle complex conversations smoothly. It is essential to invest in natural language processing (NLP) capabilities and employ user testing to refine the chatbot’s performance and ensure a seamless user experience.
Managing Complex Conversations and Context Switching
In some cases, chatbot interactions may require handling complex conversations or context switching. It is important to design the chatbot’s conversational flow to handle such scenarios effectively. Implement techniques like session management and context preservation to ensure a cohesive and coherent conversation, even when customers switch topics or engage in multi-step interactions.
Integration with Existing Systems and Infrastructure
Integrating chatbots with CRM systems may require compatibility with existing infrastructure and systems. It is crucial to evaluate the integration capabilities of both the chatbot platform and the CRM system. Leverage APIs, webhooks, or middleware solutions to establish smooth integration, ensuring that the chatbot seamlessly interacts with other systems and processes within the organization.
Integrating chatbots with CRM systems offers numerous benefits for businesses, ranging from enhanced customer service and support to improved lead generation and conversion rates. By seamlessly connecting chatbots with CRM systems, businesses can provide personalized customer interactions, streamline data collection and analysis, and ensure availability and scalability. However, this integration also poses challenges such as data privacy, user experience, complex conversations, and integration with existing systems.

If you're planning to get a Chevy Blazer this month, it might be a better idea to go for the higher 2LT trim powered by a V6 rather than going for the 1LT with a four-banger mill. This was discovered by CarsDirect through dealer lease documents obtained by the website.
Obviously, the Blazer 2LT V6's pricing is higher than the base trim, but there are certain factors that affected the better lease value of the pricier variant. According to the documents, a much lower money factor set up the better offer – the 2LT V6 has an interest rate that's equal to 3.36 percent APR, while the 1LT has it more than double at 7.44 percent APR equivalent.
save over $3,400 on average off MSRP* on a new Chevrolet Blazer
To better understand the difference, CarsDirect computed the effective monthly cost for each of the two trim levels. The Blazer 2LT V6, priced at $34,795 with destination fees, can be leased for $229 per month for 36 months with $1,609 due at signing. This translates to an effective monthly cost of $274.
On the other hand, the Blazer 1LT four-cylinder option, priced at $33,495, has the same monthly lease for 36 months but with a higher $1,659 due at signing. Overall, the effective monthly cost of the trim is $275.
What's New For The 2021 Chevy Blazer?
While the difference between the effective monthly costs between the two is a mere dollar per month, be reminded that at almost the same money, you'll be getting more standard features with the higher trim. Not to mention, the Blazer 2LT comes with a more powerful V6 engine.
Notable standard features not found in the 1LT are the IntelliBeam headlamps, automatic emergency braking, and a number of driver-assist tech toys that aim to improve safety.
CarsDirect said that these offers are only available until the end of March. Lease details for the other trim levels aren't disclosed in the report.
