Imagine being a fly on the wall in the Islamic Republic’s water fight contingency planning meeting. Sadly, no one probably stops to consider how silly it all sounds. An update on this story. “Iranian Students Prepare to Test Authority by Staging Another Water Fight,” by Lisa Daftari for Fox News, August 5 (thanks to Yeaborg):
Iranian students, who’ve used protests, boycotts and sit-ins, have found a new and innovative way to express their disenchantment against the oppressive rule of the mullahs– the water gun fight.
After last week’s large-scale water fight in Tehran resulted in the rounding-up and arrests of young participants, students are now preparing to once again take on the theocratic regime by organizing another water fight this weekend, and could set off a ripple effect of other water fights in the future.
Almost 1,000 young Iranians gathered on a hot summer day at Abo Atash Park in Tehran last Friday, at an event organized on Facebook, called “Tehran’s Water Gun Fight,” which invited young Iranians to bring water guns, bottles, and any other water games to the park.
Student organizers declared, “Water fights are our undeniable rights!” paralleling President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s claim about nuclear arms.
The event called the attention of government hardliners who dispatched authorities to the park to crackdown on the fun and games. Several male and female participants were rounded up and arrested.
Despite regime threats and arrests, the “Tehran’s Water Gun Fight” Facebook page is calling for another gathering this weekend and a larger event Sept. 2, following the end of the month of Ramadan.
Students in Tehran have told Fox News that the regime has prepared for another water fight by fortifying security and police presence at the park a day in advance, this time possibly preparing for an event that can have more serious consequences.
“They don’t think that water fights will cause a revolution, but it’s a start,” said Bahar Milani, a United Kingdom based activist working for the Iran Solidarity movement. Milani helped to create an English version of the Water Gun Fight Facebook page to link and unite the rest of the world to Tehran.
“It’s been a while that we haven’t heard any news from the people of Iran, but the young people are showing they world that they want change, and they want to challenge the regime,” Milani said.
More than 15,000 people have “liked” the original Facebook page in Persian and many have actively used the page, connecting to other participants and posting comments, pictures, videos and links.
Pictures from last week’s event have been plastered across the Internet on Facebook, blogs and other sites, showing the young people happy, laughing and soaking wet….
“This is a warning to young people that we will not accept these types of organized activities and unacceptable behavior anywhere in our country,” the head of Tehran’s morality police, Ahmad Roozbehani said about the arrests.
Those who participated in last week’s water fight said hejabs, or the Islamic headscarves, on the females in attendance had either fallen off or moved back, revealing the hairline.
The comfort with which males and females interacted, in a country where gender segregation exists is all aspects of life, also irked authorities.
Confirming the arrests, city police chief Hossein Sajedinia placed fault on participants for acting “abnormally” and going against Islamic values.
Videotaped confessions for a water fight:
Iran’s state television aired a segment Wednesday interviewing some of the participants with their backs to the camera, confessing to having played with water guns and describing details about the event.
“The first goal was just to have fun. The second might have been a political agenda,” said one male participant who was not identified….

Tip on internet dating
If you're flowing with it and cool, we've got a winner.
If you seem offended by it, that's as far as we go." —Steve M."Girls should try to avoid pre-judging before a first date.
And every year, more than 280,000 marry someone they met that way. One survey found that Americans are spending nearly a billion dollars for online dating services.
Finally, it's not just for the young and tech savvy.
Half the fun of going out is getting to know someone new, so allow yourself to let that happen organically." —Oliver B."Please don't compare us to your exes—out loud or even in your head.
It has become a very successful way to meet that someone special.
These days you're in the minority if you don't know at least one person who met their current husband, wife or partner on an online dating site.
According to a recent survey, one in five people in a new committed relationship and one in six couples married during the last three years met their significant other using an online dating service.
But heading to the local bar doesn't appeal, and friends have no one to suggest. For many who are dissatisfied with the old-fashioned way of meeting new people, online dating has become an acceptable and popular alternative.
Relationship therapist Terri Orbuch says one of the advantages of online dating is it offers access to a large pool of people you can meet while staying comfortable in your own home. "And it opens you up to a wide-open world of potential matches." According to Online Dating Magazine, 20% of Americans have gone out on a date with someone they met on line.
Elite Singles Psychologist Salama Marine says that ‘dating online is like dating in real life.

I just received a call from CTV asking me what I thought of the removal of our ad, which was designed to help Muslim girls in trouble. I had not been told. It was the first I was hearing it. We placed our ads in Edmonton because human rights activists there wanted to partner with our organization to do so. Honor killing is a grim reality that is largely ignored, and girls are suffering as a result. Muslim fathers kill their daughters for real or imagined sexual indiscretions that have supposedly dishonored the family. Nothing is done because political correctness prevents us from speaking about the problem honestly. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide and Islamic law stipulates no penalty for a parent who kills his child. These girls need and deserve protection.
Apparently Muslims complained. Why?
Is this how the Canadian Muslim community responds to the desperate circumstances of Muslim girls living in devout Muslim homes? They deny, obfuscate and dissemble. The Muslim community protects the religious honor code, while smearing and libeling the truth tellers coming to the aid of these girls as “racists.”Â
Much more, plus many photos of honor killing victims in Canada and elsewhere, here.

Italian conservative and papal confidant Rocco Buttiglione, under attack for calling homosexuality sinful, said Saturday he was abandoning efforts to become European Union justice commissioner, a bid that has prevented the new EU executive from taking office.
Buttiglione defended his religious beliefs, however, insisting they would never have colored his EU politics.
Premier Silvio Berlusconi said late Friday that Buttiglione would remain as European affairs minister in his conservative government.
With the new commission virtually doomed to rejection by the European Parliament if Buttiglione remained part of it, the new EU top executive, Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, earlier in the week withdrew all 24 nominees to buy time for a way out of the impasse.
The European Parliament must approve all 24 commissioners before the commission, which runs the EU's everyday affairs, can begin work. The commission was due to have taken office today.
During a confirmation hearing earlier this month, Buttiglione told the justice and home affairs committee that he considered homosexuality "a sin" and that marriage existed "to allow women to have children and to have the protection of a male."
"I am ready to step aside, to resign [from the bid], to favor the path of the Barroso commission, which I wish every success," Buttiglione told a news conference Saturday.
The flap over Buttiglione provided an embarrassing backdrop to elaborate EU ceremonies Friday in Rome for the signing of the union's proposed new constitution.
Buttiglione's decision was greeted with "great respect" by the head of the Christian Democrats in the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Poettering, who has supported the Italian.
Yet, Buttiglione's stepping aside "did not signify that all difficulties with regard to the appointment of a new commission has been solved," Poettering said.
He singled out Laszlo Kovacs, Hungary's former foreign minister, tapped for energy commissioner; Dutch businesswoman Neelie Kroes, slated for competition commissioner; and Latvia's Igrida Udride, up for the budget post. Poettering said those three "lacked the necessary competence."
Barroso will now have to discuss with the conservatives in the European Parliament whether they will accept a replacement only for Buttiglione, or whether they will continue to insist on other changes.
Berlusconi said he realized the Buttiglione bid had reached the end of the line after talks Friday with Barroso and other EU leaders.
Buttiglione depicted himself as a victim of an "ably orchestrated campaign" because of his conservative views, but when pressed, didn't elaborate.
"I have the right to think that homosexuality is a sin, but this has no effect on politics because in politics, the principle of nondiscrimination prevails, and the state has no right to stick its nose in these situations," Buttiglione told reporters.
"I know that I didn't introduce into the political sphere the concept of sin, which belongs to another sphere, that of religion and philosophy," Buttiglione said.
Italian news agency ANSA quoted Labor Minister Roberto Maroni as expressing little sympathy for his Cabinet mate. "To say that it's all the fault of a plot, of a campaign by the European press against him, frankly, seems unfair to me. I'd say that's Buttiglione's version of it," Maroni said.

Purpose Electrocardiograms (EKGs) are a frequently performed test in the emergency department (ED). Despite an increased awareness of infection prevention, there is currently no standard policy on the routine cleaning of EKG machines at The University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMMC). The purpose of this project was to: 1) establish baseline data on type and amount of bacterial presence on EKG machines, and compliance with cleaning of machines between use, 2) Determine if feedback to staff on their compliance of cleaning EKGs after each use alters practice, 3) Establish an Emergency Medicine policy for the cleaning of medical equipment, and 4) Implement a sustainable change to the daily practice in the Emergency Department that will improve the quality of care patients receive.
Methods EKG machines in the emergency department were swabbed to determine presence of bacteria. A cleaning campaign was initiated within the emergency department to promote and encourage the cleaning of EKG machines after each patient use. The photographs of the plates were laminated and placed in a central location in the ED, where they could be reviewed by clinical staff. An e-mail was sent to all ED staff reminding them that the machines should be cleaned after each use, with a copy of the agar plate images attached. The same content was brought up in each of the daily huddles across a two-week period, as well as included in the ED newsletter. In addition to this, brightly colored signs were placed on each of the machines to serve as a reminder.
Results The initial swabs from the EKG machines showed high levels of bacteria, with an overall decrease in bacterial presence after the cleaning campaign was initiated.
Conclusions Findings indicate that bacterial presence decreased following the cleaning campaign, however there are limitations to these findings. The bacterial type was not able to be determined, making the environmental swabs of the EKG machines indeterminate. Future work is needed to determine bacterial type in order to establish more reliable results. A measure of baseline compliance with cleaning EKG machines after each use would be helpful to allow for a comparison with post intervention results in order to determine causation versus simply correlation.

Stress is much more dangerous than you’d think. Being stressed out can cause heart problems, poor sleep habits, a lack of energy, and much more. But while you can take things to help you deal with stress, it won’t actually make the cause of your stress go away. That’s why it’s important to find the source of your stress so you can deal with it.
Getting to the center of your stress may take time. However, if you don’t, you may find yourself simply getting more and more stressed out, and that can eventually lead to some major health problems. The first step in dealing with your stress is to set down and create a list of everything that’s stressing you out. You want to list everything, no matter how small it is.
Once you’ve made your list of stress inducing things, it’s time to start working through them. For some stressful items, you can simply change your lifestyle a bit. If you always feel stressed when going out with friends to a bar, for example, simply stop going. Your friends will understand, especially if your health has obviously been affected.
For some other things, you may need to work through some issues with other people. A licensed therapist may be able to help with this, or you might sit down and try talking out issues one on one.
Then there’s the issue of stress from your job. You can talk to your boss, but if they are the source of your stress, it may not do much good. You may need to think about a major lifestyle change that involves a new job or career. But don’t do this lightly—only make these types of changes if you’re sure the stress is more than you can handle and won’t get better.
You may also want to start taking an acai berry supplement. Research has shown that a supplement such as the acai berry may be able to provide you with a number of benefits.

In the post-match interview, Somnus talks about their new carry Ghost and his fancy headphones while playing a pub match at the same time!
Today, the China (CN) Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) witnessed a series between two powerhouses in the region - Royal Never Give Up (RNG) and EHOME. The matchup ended in a glorious win for RNG, which had simultaneously even out all the scores in Division I of CN DPC. Now all teams hold a 1-1 score, proving once again that the Chinese region is highly competitive.
After the series ended, Lu "Somnus丶M" Yao hopped on the post-match interview talking about RNG's new carry, Ghost, and about his interesting headphones - all while he was playing a pub game at the same time!
If you missed the series, here's a quick summary.
A back-and-forth contest
RNG completely destroyed EHOME in the opening match. Throughout the game, three of RNG's cores sat on top of the net worth chart comfortably, and with more control on the map, they expanded the net worth gap over time. Using a carry Ursa, they easily secured an early Roshan and snowballed the game.
The 2nd game saw EHOME fire back convincingly. They grabbed an offlane Nature's Prophet and reversed the magic, beating down RNG in the same fashion. RNG surrendered after a long-drawn Roshan fight in which they lose out in numbers after multiple buybacks.
In the final game, RNG gave no mercy. They quickly stopped EHOME in their tracks, not allowing the Lycan-Tiny draft to snowball. Chalice showed a brilliant performance on his Nature's Prophet and Somnus, as per usual, was dominating throughout.
Somnus talks about his fancy headphones
In the post-match interview, Somnus was rocking a pink, cat-ears headset that looked a little out of the norm. The panel asked Somnus about his new piece and he revealed that he had actually taken the headphones from his wife after losing his own. Now that he's winning games, Somnus feels like he's not returning the headphones anytime soon. "Until I lost, I will give this one back," he smiled.
Now onto some real questions, the panel asked Somnus about RNG's new addition, Daniel "Ghost" Chan Kok Hong. The Malaysian carry is the least experienced among them all, having played in the Tier 2 scene his entire career. Somnus stated that his hero pool as compared to their previous carry, GodKing is different and that they're changing their drafts around him. "I feel like most teams, their lineup is built around their position 1 so we have different hero pools."
No rest for the wicked
In the final bit of the interview, the panel wanted Somnus to show off the visible tattoo on his arm. However, Somnus couldn't show it at that moment as he revealed that he was playing a game.
"Not really, I'm actually in a game right now so I'm kind of busy," he laughed. But he reassured them that he can show the tattoo some other time. Somnus is definitely walking the talk of absolutely focusing on Dota 2 and training intensively, as he took no rest right after a DPC match and hopped straight into a pub match.
RNG's next match in CN DPC will be on June 19th against Aster.Aries. On the other hand, EHOME will face Xtreme Gaming on June 21st. You can check the full schedule here.


On January 20, 2021 America watched a movie named “The Fake Inauguration of Joe Biden“. This “act“, that was sold to the sheeple, was pre-recorded. There were several instances of where people were visible and then suddenly they vanished. There were several people that have said that they were watching it when Lady Gaga was walking out and they changed the channel and on another network she was finished singing. They started this “act” early, before 12:01 hours. There was no 21 gun salute. What was shown was what is done for a fallen soldier or a visiting foreign dignitary. Biden did not arrive on a governmental plane. Trump however, left out on Air Force One and got a 21 gun salute.
Then we see the fake Whitehouse setting with Biden signing fake executive orders. You can clearly see that through the window behind Biden is not the Rose Garden. There is a truck of some sort seen. The wallpaper has been changed. It all matches the same movie set that Castle Rock owns. The liberals are clearly trying to “sell” the appearance of something that is clearly not true. This country knows that there was election fraud. But then that is exactly what the government is – FRAUD!

Sitting on the banks of the River Yox and surrounded by three country house parks; Sibton Park that contains large well stocked fishing lake; Grove Park situated in the village; and Rookery Park on the Leiston road, Yoxford had earned the name of the 'Garden of Suffolk'. The whole route of this walk is a pleasant amble through the rural fields of Suffolk with a return journey through the pretty country lanes following the Minsmere river through to Middleton, Theberton and finally Leiston.

This walk was done as the first signs of spring were appearing after a very wet winter. Although the fields were predominantly dry, the ditches and brooks were all full of water. It is also amazing to see just how many natural ponds there are throughout this area.
Yoxford is entered through Rookery Park, one of the three parklands that surround the village, the others being Sibton Park that contains large well stocked fishing lake and Grove Park which is in the village itself. This time of year is probably not the best time to witness Rookery Park as it is rather lifeless in its fauna. The only colour was on the little lane from the park to the road where snowdrops and daffodils littered the sparse woodland on its borders.
The walk can be terminated at Darsham with a return journey to Saxmundham by train, which is an hourly service on weekdays and Saturdays. However, continuing onwards presents the Fox Inn at Darsham for suitable refreshment after a cool and damp walk. The walk through to Middleton was a bit of a revelation, this follows Fenstreet Road and presents views of the lakes by the side of the Minsmere River.
The last stage of the walk between Theberton and Leiston crosses arable fields which were recently ploughed and hard going. I believe a footpath has to be reinstated within two weeks of ploughing, so I think we were just unfortunate to have picked the wrong weekend!
Saxmundham to Darsham
East Suffolk Line Garden of Suffolk Walk:The East Suffolk Line walk leads out of Saxmundham on the right hand side of the railway bridge as you head north out of the town. The path is clearly marked using the distinctive coloured waymarkers. Follow the railway line to the Sizewell branch junction, cross the railway and the path leads across the field to a road. Turn right and walk up the road for a hundred yards. A path on the left leads through to the Kelsale road. Cross the road and the path continues a few yards to the right. Where the path branches turn right. This comes out at Redhouse Farm. Turn left on the road and where the road bends to the left take the track on the right past Rubblestone farm. A footpath on the left cuts across a small field then heads down to Yoxford wood then up to another country lane. Turn right and follow the lane through to Fordley Hall, turn left up the hill and when the road bends round to the right theres a path that leads down the hill, across the railway and into Rookery Park. Cross the park and emerge on the A12 double bend in Yoxford. Theres a footpath alongside the A12 all the way through to the Darsham junction on the right. If this is as far as you want to travel a return journey can be made from Darsham station which you pass on the A12. The Fox Inn is on the right at the first junction in the village.
Darsham to Leiston
Darsham to Leiston return walk:From the Fox Inn, head out on the country lane down to the Westleton Road. Walk along here until there is a single track lane on the right. Take this until it reaches a farm on the left. A footpath on the right takes you through to Middleton. The Bell Inn is a hundred yards on the right as the road bends round. Take the path through the church yard and continue up the lane to just past the playing field. Turn left and continue until it meets the road. Turn right and take the track down by Fenn Farm on the right. Eventually this comes out on a lane in Theberton, Turn right till it junctions with the road, turn right and this brings you out onto the main road with the church on the left and the Lion Inn opposite. From the Lion walk south for a few yards and a footpath on the right will take you round the back of the houses and across a field to a T-junction of roads. Continue straight on until you meet a farm on the left. A footpath takes you around the back of the farm and leads alongside the field. Continue across the fields in almost a straight line all the way through to geaters nurseries in Leiston. turn right at the road and a path on the left crosses the railway and leads through to Waterloo Avenue. Leiston town centre is directly left up Waterloo Avenue.

- Fox Lane, Darsham
Records show that this has been a pub since the mid 19th century and has been referenced as Cheyny Green (1851), Chainer green (1861) and China Green according to the Suffolk CAMRA website. Traditional family run free house with food and accommodation available. Small rooms beams across the ceiling and open fires. Enormous amount of Fox based ornamentation throughout the bars.
I was somewhat disappointed to find that this freehouse only served Adnams. I had half expected to find something from a Suffolk or Norfolk micro-brewery. Nonetheless, there was no complaints about the quality of ale, and the warming soup was very soothing, overcast day!
The Bell , Middleton View in OS Map | View in Google Map
- The Green, Middleton
There is rumour that the Bell used to brew beer for the monks of Leiston Abbey which would indicate the pub was here before the dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537 which is most certainly earlier than the age of the present building, which is believed to be 17th century. There is no doubt that the church was served by the Abbey but stories about reciprocation by the pub may just be wishful conjecture
The pub is presented as a charming old fashioned village local, part-thatched with a small public bar and wooden floors, rustic table and chairs, low ceilings, oak beams and open fireplace. The ale is gravity served from a back bar. There is a large garden that leads down to a small stream amid unspoilt meadows. this is an Adnams house and as such there is a regular standard selection of their ales available.
You cant beat the Adnams bitter that is served here. Straight from the barrel and always excellent.
The Lion Inn, Theberton View in OS Map | View in Google Map
- The Street, Theberton
The pub was known as the White Lion between 1844 and 1881 and it has been suggested that it was also known as the Red lion at one time. However the Lion Inn moniker has persisted throughout, both before and after such name changes.
This is a friendly village local offering guest ales and home cooked food. Accommodation available.
This pub always has a couple of guest ales on offer and on this occasion they were serving Woodfordes Wherry and Nelsons Revenge. The barstaff swooned when a famous TV soap actor entered the building as we supped at the bar. I am not a television aficionado so certainly did not recognise the chap.
The Devil's stone, FordleyView in OS Map | View in Google Map
An old piece of local folklore
In his book entitled 'An Hour-Glass on the Run', published in 1959, Michael Joseph declares that in the yard at the now-ruined Home Farm there is reputedly a huge boulder where children were once in the habit of placing pins in the various cracks and holes, running round it as fast as they could, then putting their ears against it in the hope of hearing the Devil speak.
Home Farm used to be on the site of what is now Vale Farm but it was across the road near Fordley Hall where the stone is supposed to be, though I must admit, I could not locate it! Legend states that there is a hoard of treasure buried beneath the stone but that it is immovable. A local farmer is said to have attempted to wrench it away from its position by attaching a team of horses to it but they failed to move it. It is also said to have been the meeting place for a coven of witches.
Rookery Park, YoxfordView in OS Map | View in Google Map
19th century landscaped parkland at Yoxford
Created in the mid 19th century this parkland includes Lebanon cedars, Scots pine, oak and sequoias together with circular arrangements of yews. A narrow tree belt in a horseshoe arrangement separates the house and park from Rookery Cottages which date from the 16th/17th centuries. Along the north western boundary, neighbouring on Yoxford village is Pins Wood, a beech wood with snowdrop's and daffodils in the spring. From the undulating south side there are views across to Grove Park and Cockfield Hall along with the village. Running through the centre of the southern park in a east-west direction is a significant hedgerow that marks an ancient field boundary.
Church of the Holy Trinity, MiddletonView in OS Map | View in Google Map
The 12th century parish church of Middleton
There used to be two churches in Middleton back in 1620. They stood a mere 50 yards away from each other. Their close proximity meant that each others bells would interfere with the others services. This became such a problem that complaints were made to the Bishop of Norwich who resolved the matter by only allocating one priest for the two churches. Soon after the Bishops judgement, the Fordley church was demolished and now there is no evidence of it remaining other than a few stones and a sarcophagus cover on display in the present church. This church is distinctive with its zinc spire atop its tower. The present building dates from the 12th and 13th centuries but it is said that an Anglo Saxon structure of flint and stone pre-dated it, though no traces of this remain. A fire in 1955 destroyed its original thatch roof which has now been replaced with tiles.
Paul Richardson's Steel Sculptures, MiddletonView in OS Map | View in Google Map
Larger than life metal sculptures and caricatures
This is a real treat that makes walking so worthwhile. The footpath that crosses the fields from Theberton descends across a marsh before coming back up to Middleton where it joins the road by a cottage named Ambleside. This is the residence of Suffolk Sculptor Paul Richardson. He sculpts in metal and his house is surrounded by examples of his work which are larger than life caricatures which, to say the least, are impressive. No-one who walks past this house can escape their curiosity and take time out to look at these magnificent works of art. Other examples of his work can be seen on peering out of the top of an Ipswich public convenience and in Ipswich Hospital.
The Theberton ZeppelinView in OS Map | View in Google Map
The story of the German Zeppelin which crash at Theberton in 1917
During the end of First world War the Germans started to deploy vast airships, commonly known as Zeppelins. The 48th of these, L48 was on her first operational flight with a task to attack London. She drifted over Orford Ness and dropped her bombs on Harwich and Martlesham and then turned to head for home. However, her compasses had frozen and instead of heading east, she drifted northwards where she came under attack from British anti-aircraft fire. At two o'clock on the morning of June 17th the Zeppelin crashed just outside Theberton, its fiery body glowing in the sky as it came down and it is said could be seen for miles around. Of the 19 crew, 16 were killed with 3 survivors, one of whom was taken to a local house for safe keeping until the authorities arrived. It is said that the homeowners reply to such a request was 'Not likely lock the bugger in the shed'. Those killed were buried in St Peters Church at Theberton. In the mid 1960`s these were exhumed and re-buried at the German cemetery in Cannock Chase Staffordshire. There remains a memorial to those who perished which is located in the graveyard extension over the road to the church. An inscription reads 'Here were buried 16 German airmen crew of Zeppelin L48 17th June 1917 "who art thou that judges another mans servant"'. In the porch of the church is a glass fronted frame which contains a section of the L48 and below this is a brief history of the event.

Both Once Upon a Time and Castle left off with stunning cliffhangers last year. Unsurprisingly, their season premieres picked up right where the last scene left off and kept the story going, moving seamlessly into new chapters.
All right, needless to say, SPOILER ALERT below.
Season 4, Episode 1 (A Tale of Two Sisters)
Elsa has arrived from Arendelle via a magical urn that was held captive by Rumplestiltskin. Regina has been deprived of her “happy ending” with Robin Hood by the reappearance of Marian. Both are parallel characters who want to shut out the world.
The characters from the Frozen universe have been written into the existing story as though they have always belonged there. Seeing Elsa, Anna, and their parents open the episode did not make me blink in the slightest. Kristoff and Sven were just as I had imagined them to be. That said, had I not seen Frozen, I might not have appreciated the characters quite the same way. The writers made sure to give subtle explanations as to who the characters were: the King and Queen of Arendelle very obviously wrote a note to “them”, revealed in the next scene to be Elsa and Anna whose parents were lost in a storm at sea. The two were obviously sisters, Anna was getting married, and Elsa was the Queen. Their next few scenes revealed that Anna’s groom was named Kristoff, he had a particularly odd friend named Sven (revealed to be a reindeer, but you would have to have seen the film to know that ahead of time), there was a menacing Prince Hans and his brothers who threatened the kingdom, and for some reason Anna had trolls for future in-laws. I admit, one could think that somehow Kristoff was a troll who had found himself on the fortunate end of a spell. That part wasn’t explained very well. Otherwise, the Arendelle storyline fit perfectly into the narrative. We are eventually going to learn how Elsa ended up in an urn in Rumpelstiltskin’s cupboard.
Elsa is still looking for her sister, who ran off on a quest to the Enchanted Forest in the past. In the modern world, however, Elsa is entirely out of her element. Terrified, she turns things to ice at every turn. To throw Emma and Hook off of her trail, she creates a snowmonster to be her protector – which works very well until the monster gets in Regina’s way. Fire is always a very handy weapon!
Meanwhile, speaking of being frozen from the world, we return to the world of our favourite Storybrooke characters immediately after the return of Marian. Understandably, Regina leaves the diner in humiliation. While Robin Hood is completely over Marian (or as much as one can be over the loss of a spouse) and in love with Regina, he feels duty-bound to honour his marriage vows.
It can be hard to remember when watching a show that is drawn out over weeks and months that often, very little time passes during an episode. In the real world, Regina would likely spend days wallowing at home with whisky and ice cream. Instead, she remembers that she does not take humiliation lightly and looks for ways to fix her problem.
However, she realises that she has no idea how to rid herself of Marian that does not involve being a monster. All of her strategies are those of a villain, and she does not want to be a villain anymore. In her heart, which isn’t frozen, she cares too much for Robin, Roland, Marian, and Henry to consider outright killing her rival. Going back in time isn’t really an option for her after all. In the end, she would rather save her loved ones from the snowmonster than let it crush Marian. Rather, she wants to go after the author of the book itself.
“Going after the writer of the book” is exactly what this show has been doing for the past three years. It has explored heroes and villains, tearing down archetypes and making them realistic and human. It has examined good and evil and how they are made; how a character can slide from one to the other and back again.
Regina is the type of character who would have a hard road to travel even in a non-fantasy setting: abusive childhood, forced marriage, adolescent trauma, bloodlust revenge, addiction (to magic in this case), and loss of loved ones. She has gone from seeing herself as the victim to seeing herself as the monster who needs to redeem herself constantly, but always the villain.
Understandably, she wants out of the cycle. Unfortunately, for that, she will need to reach out to others, not push them away.
Season 7, Episode 1 (Driven)
As this year did not see the name of the show change to Beckett, I don’t think anyone was surprised to discover that Castle was not in the burning car wreck, nor was he inside it when it was crushed at the junkyard. That was a given. He had been kidnapped, that much was certain last year.
To cover the time between the aborted wedding in the spring and the start of this season in the late summer/early fall, Castle simply went missing for over two months. The investigation into his disappearance begins immediately, but upon discovering, through security camera footage, that Castle was indeed alive and apparently well, the urgency was called off. To all those but his nearest and dearest, it was decided that he had simply run off.
I took issue with this portrayal. Seeing Castle in the footage made Beckett (as well as Ryan and Esposito) furious! Now, I can believe that being a homicide cop can make one jaded about human nature, but I cannot believe that the first theory that you would have would be “he’s in on it, how dare he do that to us!” No, I think anyone would have the reaction of “Oh my God, he’s alive!” Cue the joyful and relieved exuberance. Yes, as time went on, Beckett would get angrier, but not to start.
Surely, after all of the cases that they have worked together, she and her two closest colleagues would come up with many plausible (if remote) theories as to what had happened. Perhaps Castle was drugged? Working under duress? Both? Carted away to a remote holding cell after appearing in the footage? Yes, he appeared as cool as a cucumber, but that could have been because he had been assured that he would be returned to the Hamptons promptly. Frankly, I am disappointed in the writers for not giving these characters enough credit. We viewers have some understanding of human nature – and most of us are not jaded cops, either.
Nonetheless, Castle is found, but he cannot remember anything after the crash. Beckett (along with Martha and Alexis) believes him, but she cannot wholly trust him anymore. She needs her evidence, and so far, it is still lacking. She cannot bury her doubt that Castle is simply pretending and decided to run away to go camping.
The lack of Castle for the majority of this episode is just as noticeable to the viewers as it is for Beckett. We miss his banter, his theories, his easygoing nature, and his charming calm. Without him, the show is dark and Beckett alternates between being an empty shell and an explosive volcano. Ryan and Esposito are shorter with each other as well. This is not the show that viewers have come to love for six years. We want Castle to come back as much as Beckett does by the time the first commercial break hits.
Castle’s return ushers in a new dynamic, since Castle is still his usual self. We are relieved that he is back, but we want answers to what happened to him as much as Beckett does.
Only then can we have our show back!

For the first time, Hollywood is adapting Gustave Flaubert's masterpiece Madame Bovary, and producers have cast Alice In Wonderland's Mia Wasikowska to play the titular character.
The classic French novel has seen screen incarnations in the UK over the years, but this is the first time it's getting the American treatment. It follows Emma Bovary, the wife of a doctor, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means to escape her boring life.
The young actress has already played Jane Eyre, so we doubt she'll have a problem with this period piece either.
Does this sound like a movie U would want to see?

MEET THE Master guitar designers and builders
Greg M Atkin
Altered States Guitar Inventor
I have been playing guitar for over 50 years now. First as a living room guitarist - just as a past time.
Over the years I watched myself improve little by little.
However, holding a flat pick properly was a challenge. In 2000, I invented the SharkTooth Crossover Pick (a comfortable thumb pick) and then joined the Association of Fingerstyle Guitarists (AFG). My love of guitar accellerated from then on.
The Altered States Guitar concept came to me as just an interesting idea at first. Over time, though, the AS concept was refines and I then invested in making several prototype guitars.
I hope that you enjoy listening to the prototype AS guitar videos that we now have on this site.
J Donahue Guitars
Master Guitar Builder
Joe Donahue, of J. Donahue Guitars, is without a doubt one of the finest luthiers I've ever had the pleasure to meet.
I first met Joe at a local guitar show in southern California. The minute I picked up his replica of a 57 Les Paul Junior, I was floored. Seriously, he nailed it better than any other guitar maker I've ever seen.
Like Leo Fender, Joe Donahue has a big passion for the arts and music. Joe also has an incredible sense of detail as an engineer and designer.
If you have the opportunity to acquire one of Joe’s guitars, I would highly recommend doing so.
Business Development Manager
Music Connection Magazine
Master Guitar Builder
Over the years I have serviced, repaired and built custom guitars for many of the worlds most famous players.
My Customers: BraXton Olita (Ashlee Simpson), Ray Brady (Ashlee Simpson), Lyle Workman (Sting), Chris Thompson (Manfred Mann), Eric Sardinas, Rocco Deluca, Marco Mendoza (Whitesnake, Ted Nugent, Thin Lizzy), Allan Holdsworth, Switchfoot, Fred Taccone, Robert Adolph, Patt Hennessy, David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Mike Ness (Social Distortion), Walter Trout, Mads Eriksen, Josh Thomson (Peoplemover), Brett Rasmussen (Ignite), Kamren Alexander (Stereofix), Jude Cole, Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow), Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd) ,Daniel Lanois ( U2 , Bob Dylan).....
Guitar builder & Pickup Designer
Fred is a really great guy, insanely creative and one of the best Tele style builders in the world, IMO.
I worked with Fred at the Fender Custom Shop for almost 12 years, and he was one of our most requested Tele builders. He also designed and built some of our most creative guitars.
I offer Fred's pickups in my new P-1, he hand winds 'em all and they sound killer. He does virtually everything on his guitars, even down to making his own trussrods.
He's always experimenting too, which I think is great. His guitars are very vintage cool.
Frequently asked questions
What makes Altered States Guitars different?
That is just it. Altered States Guitar technology is a different way to voice an electric guitar. We are not claiming to be better than other guitar makers or designs. Just different - and in a good way.
With Altered States, there are many combinations of wood, metal elements and bridge configurations that contribute to the guitar's timbre or voice.
Altered States technology always consists of two body wood selections. Second, the neck design usually consists of a reversed cut laminated neck for strength and stability. However, one piece necks are also available.
The custom Altered States 3D split bridge is the heart of the guitar. It is this bridge that brings the pure wood resonations in the body to the guitar's voice in a most novel way.
Finally, playability is determined by all of the dimentional elements that each player subjectively contributes to each Altered States Guitar design.
Each Altered States Guitar design consists of a dual wood body, such as, mahogany & swamp ash. The Joe Donahue (J Donahue Guitars) built prototype shown on the Collections page is a good example. The two wood types feature a typical glue joint in the middle or center line of the guitar.
Again, the custom 3D divided bridge is the heart of the instrument.The bridge is divided - horizontally and vertically - so that there are three strings supported on each side of the guitar's body. This split bridge is how the pure fundamental resonance from each wood type is generated.
Furthermore, brass or stainless steel pillars are (optional) used to couple the top & bottom 3D bridge plate components.
All of these selected elements contribute to a unique voice for each guitar built.
What is the price range for an Altered States Guitar?
We are now in the very beginning stage of ASG development. There are now three prototype guitars in existance. All three are hand made and have different configurations.
Check out the Altered States Guitar Reverb site for available AS guitars for sale (see link below).
Please contact me directly for more detailed information about each AS guitar now available.
You can also see photos on the Collections page here on this web site.

There’s Still Time to Set Up a SEP for 2016
Simplified Employee Pensions (SEPs) are stripped-down retirement plans intended for self-employed individuals and small businesses. If you don’t already have a tax-favored retirement plan set up for your business, consider establishing a SEP — plus, if you act quickly enough, you can claim a deduction for your initial SEP contribution on your 2016 tax return.
Putting SEPs to Work for You
Because SEPs are relatively easy to set up and can allow large annual deductible contributions, they’re often the preferred retirement plan option for self-employed individuals and small business owners — unless they have employees. (See “Beware of Requirements to Cover Employees” at right.)
The term “self-employed” generally refers to:
- A sole proprietor,
- A member (owner) of a single-member limited liability company (LLC) that’s treated as a sole proprietorship for tax purposes,
- A member of a multimember LLC that’s treated as a partnership for tax purposes, or
- A partner.
If you’re in one of these categories, your annual deductible SEP contributions can be up to 20% of your self-employment income. For a sole proprietor or single-member LLC owner, self-employment income for purposes of calculating annual deductible SEP contributions equals the net profit shown on their Schedule C, less the deduction for 50% of self-employment tax. For a member of a multimember LLC or a partner, self-employment income equals the amount reported on their Schedule K-1, less the deduction for 50% of self-employment tax claimed on their personal income tax return.
If you’re an employee of your own corporation, it can establish a SEP and make an annual deductible contribution of up to 25% of your salary. The contribution is a tax-free fringe benefit and is, therefore, excluded from your taxable income.
For 2016, the maximum contribution to a SEP account is $53,000. For 2017, the maximum contribution is $54,000. However, there’s no requirement to contribute anything for a particular year. So when cash is tight, a small amount can be contributed or nothing at all.
As with most other tax-advantaged retirement plans, assets in a SEP can grow tax-deferred, with no tax liability until withdrawals are made. Early withdrawals (before age 59½) are generally subject to a 10% penalty, in addition to income tax. Certain minimum distributions are generally required beginning after age 70½.
Setting Up Your Plan
A SEP is fairly simple to set up, especially for a one-person business. Your financial advisors can help you complete the required paperwork in just a few minutes. A key benefit of SEPs is that you can establish your plan as late as the extended due date of the return for the year in which you claim a deduction for your initial SEP contribution.
For example, say your business is a sole proprietorship or a single-member LLC that’s treated as a sole proprietorship for tax purposes. If you establish a SEP and make your initial SEP contribution by April 18, 2017 — the deadline for filing your 2016 federal income tax return — you can deduct the contribution on your 2016 tax return.
Important note: If you extend your 2016 return, you have until October 16, 2017, to set up the plan and make a deductible 2016 contribution.
Beware of Requirements to Cover Employees
Establishing a SEP is more complicated if your business has employees. Specifically, contributions may be required for any employee who:
- Is age 21 or older,
- Has worked for your business during at least three of the past five years, and
- Receives at least $600 of compensation.
Your business can deduct any contributions made for employees. Because SEP contributions made for employees vest immediately, a covered employee can leave your company at any time without losing any of his or her SEP money. For this reason, SEPs generally aren’t preferred by businesses with more than a few trusted employees.
SEPs can be a smart way for many small businesses to save tax. You still have time to retroactively set up a SEP for the 2016 tax year and make a contribution that can be deducted on your 2016 return. If you have questions or want more information about SEPs and other small-business retirement plan options, contact Deb Weber at Kirsch CPA Group at (513) 858-6040 and we will help you get set up.

You know, as a travel writer I’ve found that there are very few places that truly become a melting pot for tourism, appealing to so many distinctly different interests that visitors come from all corners for entirely different reasons.
But there is a little jewel of a town on the shores of the Mississippi River in Southeastern Minnesota that can really call itself All That, a town where world-class recreation fights for center stage with world-class entertainment, a town blessedly free of the bustle of the big city but with all of the amenities one would expect to find in a city much larger. It’s a town that oozes turn-of-the-century charm and 22nd century ideas, a town that loves its history as much as it loves its future, a town that comes close to being one of the best kept secrets in Minnesota.
Well I’m spilling the secret. It’s too good not to. This is my town – Winona, Minnesota, and after having written about cities large and small around the country, I feel like I need to talk about a place I think gives them all a run for their money.
So welcome to my weekly blog about Winona. Part scoop, part insider info, part pure bragging, in 2010 I’m going to make it my mission to connect people everywhere to the things that truly put this place on the map.

More Germany IP Communications Stories
February 03, 2012
Early Friday morning, a German judge ruled in favor of Motorola (News - Alert) Mobility in its fight against Apple, barring the company from using its iCloud and push email service in the country. According to Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents, the suit brought against Apple (News - Alert) is directed at Apple Sales International, the conglomerate’s European sales organization based in Ireland. However, the suit was not Europe-wide and the ruling only applies to the German Market.
According to the ruling, Motorola must first post a $100 million Euro bond to seek its enforcement. Since it is likely Motorola will pay up, Apple has already pulled several iPhone (News - Alert) and iPad models from its online store in Germany. As Apple prepares its German market for the worse, it is not planning to take this ruling lying down:
"Apple is appealing this ruling because Motorola repeatedly refuses to license this patent to Apple on reasonable terms, despite having declared it an industry standard patent seven years ago."
The court injunction in Germany is the latest in a line of disputes between Apple and Motorola, which is currently being bought by Apple’s largest rival, Google (News - Alert). It is likely that Google’s influence will play a key role in Motorola’s decision to enforce the German court’s ruling and to continue its latest lawsuit against Apple here in the U.S. over the iPhone 4S device and Apple’s iCloud services. If the Google backed Motorola wins here in the states, it could result in a ban of Apple iPhone and iCloud services in this country altogether! If you were thinking Google would not go that far, you are wrong. Apple will most likely see no mercy on either of these issues as its 2011 lawsuit against Google affiliate HTC, resulted in a ban of all HTC (News - Alert) phones and products from being sold here in the U.S. market.
As the smartphone platform wars heat up, it is bound to be a legally sticky situation. Apple and Google both have valid claims that the other has stolen patented ideas and intellectual property or that the other is preventing fair competition within the industry, making a direct clash between the two sides inevitable. And, if their previous interactions are telling of anything, it is that a messy legal battle is unavoidable. The real question is what effect will it have on the mobile industry and its customers.

Which of the security services can be provided by digital signature?
Yes. Digital signature can provide data / message integrity. Generally digital signatures include a hashing algorithm. The verification includes proof that the correct hash over the data was signed by the sender.
The cryptographic message syntax or XML digsig are examples.
Yes, it can. And non-repudiation also more or less implies data integrity. Because to make sure that an entity cannot deny signing the data, you need to know which exact data was being signed in the first place.
X509 certificates usually have a non-repudiation bit to indicate that the private key can be used to generate signatures for non-repudiation. Look at XAdES for an example (government regulated non-repudiation).
Yes, most certainly. The sender can be authenticated by signing a challenge in a transport protocol, for instance.
Think of smart card logins onto web sites for an example, using client side authentication within the TLS protocol.
No. Generally the receiver in a protocol is holding a trusted public key of the sender. You need to have access to the private key to be able to authenticate. If we assume that the receiver - i.e. the receiver of signed messages - only has access to the public key he can only authenticate the sender.
Obviously receivers can also assume the role of sender in most protocols, in which case the entity also holds his own private key.
As only data integrity is mentioned, you could mention data authentication. Signatures do not just provide data integrity but also authenticity, i.e. proof that the message originated (or at least was signed by) the entity controlling the private key.
That's a slightly different notion than data integrity, which doesn't provide this proof necessarily. Both properties are however achieved by a single signature.

Williamsburg, where S and I live, is a tricky place when it comes to food. The grocery stores suck (now that we have a car I drive 20 minutes to Long Island City, where I used to live, to hit the Stop & Shop). Finding good produce is a notoriously difficult proposition. But there are still vestiges of the Italian community that used to fill my immediate neighborhood, so good bread and homemade mozzarella are not hard to find. The Latino area to the east of us has all kinds of interesting-looking things that I don’t know how to cook. And the Polish community to the northwest is a source for the dried mushrooms I use in soup, pierogies, and kielbasa (though I must admit those last two items rarely, if ever, enter my kitchen).
But the Williamsburg draw for foodies is the restaurant scene. There are countless small places serving fresh, innovative, and swoon-inducing food. One of our favorites is just down the street from us at the corner of Union Avenue and Meeker, a warm, abundantly friendly Peruvian place called Chimu.
Inside is dark and cozy. Incan-inspired ceramics and flickering candles create a romantic atmosphere. The greeting is immediate and welcoming—usually one of two Peruvian gentlemen who I assume are the owners but also act as menu interpreters and, often, waiters. After we are seated, one of them places a small bowl of cancha, roasted Peruvian corn kernels, on the table.
They may look a little like what’s left in the bottom of the popcorn bowl, but cancha is what those hard little nuggets aspire to. I believe there’s a picture of them in the dictionary, above the word “addictive.” Larger than popcorn kernels, lightly oily, and salty, they shatter in your mouth, rather than crunching. They feel almost hollow, and delicate. The corn itself is one of dozens of varieties not available here. The owners import it from Peru, where it dries for days in the sun, according to Incan custom. It gets a quick toss in a sauté pan, with a little oil and a sprinkling of salt, before being served while still warm. S loves cancha so much he’s been known to stop in for a little takeout container on his way home.
Here’s where I confess to being a bit of a creature of habit. After two or three trips to Chimu, I’d sampled enough of the dishes to arrive at a favorite appetizer as well as a favorite entrée. The rotisserie chicken is wonderful, as are several of the steak dishes. The fried plantains are outstanding, caramelized and soft with ever-so-slightly crisp edges. But none of these things compare, in my book, to the Tamal Criollo and the Lomo Saltado de Pollo.
The Tamal Criollo is a chicken tamale, red corn-meal dough stuffed with pieces of chicken, chopped hard-boiled eggs, tiny olives, and what taste like soft peanuts, all wrapped and steamed. All by itself, it’s a homey, comforting mix of flavors, but topped with Salsa Criollo…oh. my. god. According to the ever-helpful waiter/owner/menu interpreter, Salsa Criollo as served at Chimu is made of thinly sliced red onions, chopped cilantro, olive oil, vinegar, lemon & lime juices, and salt & pepper. I’m one of those people who hates cilantro (tastes like dirty dish water to me, and often activates my gag reflex), but in this salsa I don’t even notice it. The onions are slightly soft, their bite weakened to a mere hint. The tang of the macerating liquid plays off the subtler flavors of the tamal, elevating each mouthful to superstar status. It’s a big portion so S and I share it, but there is no doubt that we’ll lick the plate every time.
Between the cancha and the Tamal Criollo, I’m usually pretty stuffed by the time the Lomo Saltado arrives, but it’s never terribly hard to find room. The aroma itself is enough to set my mouth to watering: sautéed onions and tomatoes, strips of chicken breast and some incredible, mysterious seasoning—aji pepper, perhaps?—served over French fries with a mound of white rice on the side. (Yes, it’s a lot of carbs and fries are fattening; the first time I ordered it I was taken aback, but now I just ask for very few fries—to skip them entirely would be heretical, since they absorb the juices completely differently from the way rice does.)
S usually orders something beef-based—their steaks are quite delicious—and this time he had the same as mine, only with beef (apparently that’s the traditional preparation for Lomo Saltado). It, too, tasted divine—similar to the chicken version, but the beef added a heartier flavor.
Initially we planned to skip dessert—we were both stuffed—but Purple Corn Pudding beckoned. We’d only had it once before, but it was one of the most unusual, and most deeply flavored, desserts I’ve ever had. Thick, almost gelatinous, served warm and studded with plumped Peruvian dried fruits, it was sweet but not cloying, and memorably good. And yet, even though S and I agreed we’d share one order, when the waiter came over he sold us on something entirely different—Peruvian fruit-flavored ice cream, a scoop each of lucuma and cherimoya. Oh, how he raved about the lucuma! Neither of us had ever heard of it so we had no idea what to expect, but we figured anything he endorsed so whole-heartedly was worth a shot. End result: It was good, very good. It tasted like caramel, in fact, which was a shock. When we got home I looked it up, and sure enough lucuma is described as tasting naturally of butterscotch or maple syrup. The cherimoya reminded me of the sucking candies my grandmother used to keep in a bowl on the coffee table, those translucent rectangular ones with a soft fruity center, in a white wrapper with a color illustration of the fruit it was meant to taste like. In other words, it tasted almost generically fruity. We enjoyed both flavors, and finished the bowl, but it was no Purple Corn Pudding.
When the check arrived it was delightfully low for such a feast: just $36.00. Chimu is truly one reason to be happy we live in Williamsburg. That Salsa Criollo…I had a heck of a time finding a recipe that resembles what we enjoyed so much, but I did manage to cobble this together:
Serves 2-4, depending on how much you LOVE it!
1 large red onion, sliced thin
4 T. fresh lime juice
¼ t. white vinegar
1 t. olive oil
2 t. chopped fresh cilantro
Put the onion in a sieve and pour boiling water over it to soften (they still retain some crunch). Mix all ingredients together and serve immediately.

Vardar take on the visitors Zenit Petersburg at "Philip II Arena" in the gameweek one of the UEFA Europa League Group stage. The match will be played in Skopje on Thursday, September 14th.
Vardar entered the Eurocups in the UEFA Champions League where the Macedonian side passed through Malmo FF 1:1, 3:1 but then was knocked out by FC Copenhagen 1:0, 1:4. Vardar earned a place on the Group stage of the UEFA Europa League, having defeated Fenerbahce 2:0, 2:1 in the Qualification final round. The team comes up to the start of the Group stage with five-clash winning series with 15:3 aggregated score. Vardar have not been broken at their own turf since the 1st of March across 12 consecutive games, having gained 11 victories and single draw with only three goals conceded during that period.

Zenit Petersburg started their way in the UEFA Europa League from the Qualification, having passed through Yehuda 2:0, 0:1 and then Utrecht 0:1, 2:0. In the Russia's Premier League Zenit Petersburg are currently occupying the first place in the standings with 21 points gained and 16-3 goal difference. Roberto Mancini's side has not conceded any goal for 407 minutes of football already. The team from St. Petersburg has conducted seven matches on the road in this season resulting in four wins, two draws, one defeat, two goals for and seven goals against.
Vardar and Zenit Petersburg have never met before, thus, the bookmakers consider the visiting side to be the favourite of this pair. However, I don't believe that Vardar which knocked out Fenerbahce in the last round, will be afraid of the Russian team. I believe that under scored goals look like the best selection for the clash as both clubs show solid performance in defense.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.

Quality Improvement poster presented at Nursing Passion: Re-Igniting the Art & Science, Advocate Aurora Health Nursing & Research Conference 2022; November 9, 2022; virtual.
Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening infection with a mortality rate estimated between 25-50%. Majority of efforts to reduce mortality are focused on early identification and treatment. Many sepsis survivors experience cognitive impairment and functional disability that persist after discharge. Advocate Aurora Population Health Care Transitions Bundle Program telephonically coordinates care after discharge for 90 days with the intent to improve health outcomes measured by prevention of readmissions and ED utilization.
Local Problem:Care Transition readmission data was reviewed over a 3-month period in the spring of 2021, identifying sepsis as the initial diagnosis in 218 patients with a readmission rate of 22%. Discussion at a nursing staff meeting revealed varying practices related to patient education based on a nurse’s knowledge of sepsis. Nurses also identified an opportunity to tailor patient education to the specific source of sepsis.
Method:A smart phrase, a preformatted statement, was developed to standardize patient education in both prevention and identification of infection. Patient education was divided into sections for general review of sepsis and then specific to either pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or wound infections. Care Transition nurses reviewed and approved the smart phrase. The Care Transitions team was instructed to use the smart phrase on all patients discharged with a sepsis diagnosis beginning in early August 2021.
Results/conclusions:41 out of 180 patients were readmitted within 90 days after an initial hospitalization for sepsis in the fall of 2021. The 23% readmission rate does not reveal an immediate impact on readmissions. Nurses identified the smart phrase as being a helpful tool in guiding patient education conversations. Barriers to using the smart phrase include changes in nursing personnel. Plans to survey nurses to evaluate consistency of use, modification of phrase, and timing of the education are in process. Readmission rates will be monitored.

Last week I had the privilege of hosting The Walls Group listening session in New York City and they presented a few songs from their latest project, “The Other Side.” As expected, the songs were incredible, but what I wasn’t expecting was the music video that accompanied their current single entitled “My Life.” This video took me back to the 90’s when music videos mattered! If this video isn’t nominated and eventually chosen at some award show, I’m throwing in the towel! Enjoy!

During both World Wars, the U.S. government supplied tobacco to our troops. By 1964, 46 percent of adults in this nation smoked—including inside public buildings, during commercial flights, and on televised advertisements. That year, with the help of Surgeon General Luther L. Terry’s book,Smoking and Health, the winds of change began to blow in fresher air.
In 1965 Congress required manufacturers to post health warnings on cigarette packs. In 1969 Congress outlawed tobacco advertising on television and radio. In 1989 smoking was banned on all domestic flights. In 2000 California banned smoking in public places, including bars and restaurants. Twenty-six states have since followed suit, including Minnesota which established an indoor smoking ban in 2007.
Today less than 20 percent of adults in the U.S. smoke. Over the last half century, scientific research, governmental regulation, and public information campaigns have combined to alter our society’s perspective on smoking. While tobacco usage remains legal, what once was widely regarded as a harmless pleasure is now deemed an addictive health hazard.
The Witherspoon InstituteThe Witherspoon Institute (TWI) recently proclaimed that what the U.S. has done with tobacco must now be done with Internet pornography. TWI first met in December 2008 at Princeton, NJ. Its participants published The Social Costs of Pornography: A Statement of Findings and Recommendations, a brief summary of The Social Costs of Pornography: A Collection of Papers, edited by James R. Stoner, Jr., and Donna M. Hughes. It is vital to note that the signatories represent “every major shade of religious belief … from atheism and agnosticism to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Both the left and the right in American politics are represented, including social conservatism and contemporary feminism.” The signatories also supply a wide range of professional expertise in “economics, medicine, psychiatry, psychology, philosophy, sociality, journalism, and law” (p. 10).
TWI’s report claims to be the “first multifaceted, multidisciplinary, scholarly exploration in the internet age” seeking to “estimate the social costs of pornography” (p. 7). The signatories draw two conclusions. First, Internet pornography is as destructive socially as tobacco is physically. Second, the citizenry of the U.S. is as ignorant of this danger as we were of the ill-effects of tobacco prior to 1964.
“The received opinion on pornography in our day,” TWI asserts, is that “the consumption of pornographic imagery amounts to victimless personal entertainment.” This popular belief “is falsified by a growing, multidimensional, empirical record of pornography’s harms” (p. 9). TWI further asserts that “research and data suggest that the habitual use of pornography—and especially of Internet pornography—can have a range of damaging effects on human beings of all ages and both sexes, affecting their happiness, their productivity, their relationships with one another, and their functioning in society” (p. 10).
Pornography is no new phenomenon, as ancient Greek vase imagery and the volcanic preservation of the ancient resort city of Pompeii reveal (p. 8). Nor is concern over pornography’s ill-effects a groundbreaking development. The Surgeon General’s report in 1987 concluded that pornography stimulates “attitudes and behavior that lead to gravely negative consequences for individuals and for society,” impairing “the mental, emotional, and physical health of children and adults” (p. 8). What is new with the emergence of the Internet, and what has thus exponentially increased porn’s debilitating influence, is its ubiquity, ease of access, immediacy, realism, and hard-core nature (p. 17-19).

TAIM WESER experiences
I want to express our great satisfaction regarding the good execution of the project, the engineering capabilities of the TAIM WESER’s staff and the achieved performances of the supplied equipment. I would definitely rely on TAIM WESER to work in another project in the Nuclear sector among others.
All of the material handling equipment in Ardakan Pelletizing Complex like as reclaimer, stacker, belt conveyors, train loading and wagon dumper have been supplied by TAIM WESER (formerly TAIM-TFG). These equipment are working very well for 10 years now and the TW performance is fully satisfactory.
The performance of TAIM WESER in this project has been satisfactory and the equipment has been working according to our specifications since it was put into service 10 years ago.
