The government of Indonesia has taken to Twitter to warn all people in Jakarta after it was rocked by several explosions from multiple suspected terrorist attacks.
Reports of at least nine explosions in the Sarinah region, popular with tourists and close to the UN office, have resulted in multiple casualties and fatalities.
The head of Indonesia's national intelligence agency has told Reuters that while the attacks are "definitely terrorism... there are no indications yet that it's ISIS-related".
Jakarta is frequently dubbed the unofficial Twitter capital of the world due to its popularity among social media users.
The official Indonesian government Twitter account has been issuing warning on which areas to avoid and asking for people to remain calm.
It has also started the hashtags #savejkt and #PrayforJakarta, although the tweet containing the #PrayforJakarta tag was deleted just a few hours later.
Ada penanganan ledakan di depan Sarinah, Jakarta Pusat. Sementara, lalu lintas dialihkan #PrayForJakarta— Humas DKI Jakarta (@jakartagoid) January 14, 2016
Diharapkan warga Jakarta untuk tetap tenang. Yang berada di sekitar Sarinah, Thamrin lebih baik tunggu keadaan aman #savejkt— Humas DKI Jakarta (@jakartagoid) January 14, 2016
The government has also set up a new hashtag #SafetyCheckJKT telling Jakarta residents to use it to share photos and locations of safe areas within the city.
The tweet attempts a friendly, conversational tone, beginning with "Hi Jakarta residents!" and ending "stay safe!"
Hai, warga Jakarta! Bantu lapor keamanan lokasi di sekitar Anda dengan foto dan hashtag #SafetyCheckJKT. Stay safe!— Humas DKI Jakarta (@jakartagoid) January 14, 2016
Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, the governor of Jakarta, strongly condemned the attacks. He called for the people of Jakarta not to panic and report any suspicious activity.
Turut berduka cita dan mengutuk keras atas kejadian bom di Sarinah. Masyarakat jangan panik dan takut. Laporkan jika ada yang mencurigakan.— Ahok Basuki TPurnama (@basuki_btp) January 14, 2016
The US embassy in Jakarta has also used Twitter to reach its citizens and warn them of the danger.
Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens: Avoid Sari Pan Pacific Hotel & Sarinah area on Jln Sudirman & Thamrin, Jakarta https://t.co/zupKsuB5zw— U.S. Embassy Jakarta (@usembassyjkt) January 14, 2016
While GrabTaxi Indonesia is perhaps the first brand to publicise its efforts to help on social media, offering free rides to safe locations for people in Jakarta.
Tumpangan evakuasi GRATIS dr Grab akan berlaku di seluruh area Jakarta & Tangerang Selatan yang terkena dampak pengeboman. #StaySafeJakarta— GrabTaxi Indonesia (@GrabTaxiID) January 14, 2016
Residents also took to Twitter using their own hashtag #KamiTidakTakut, which translates as "we are not afraid".
Indonesian President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo made his first comments to AP.
"I have received reports some time ago about the explosion in Thamrin street Jakarta. We express condolence to those who became victims, but we all also condemn the attack that caused restless among the community," he said.
Facebook, which quickly created a special 'safety check-in' feature during the Paris attacks last November, has yet to introduce it for the current crisis in Jakarta.

Dr. Stacy Gallin, founder and director of the Maimonides Institute for Medicine, Ethics and the Holocaust (MIMEH), has furthered the argument that modern bioethics emerged out of the ashes of the Holocaust as a reactive response to the abrogation of ethics and the abuse of power on the part of the medical profession. The systematic and systemic participation of physicians—those who took an oath to “First, do no harm”—in the labeling, persecution and eventual mass murder of millions of those deemed “unfit” during the Holocaust represents one of the darkest periods not only in the history of medicine, but in the history of humankind.
The German medical profession totally capitulated to the racial hygeine theory of the Nazis, which led to large-scale euthanasia of those considered undesirable and/or inferior as well as unspeakable experimentation on live subjects. There were some who refused but as heroic as they were, they were the minority who did not join the National Socialist Party.
This cautionary tale of what not to do became the defining feature of modern bioethics. Yet even in the darkest times, one can always find the light. Stories of physicians who remained dedicated to healing and saving lives in any way possible prove that ethics, virtues, values and hope can prevail. These tales of Jewish physicians and Righteous Gentiles who risked their lives to save others inspire a positive view of medicine and bioethics in which the power of the profession is harnessed for good, even in the most dire circumstances.
This past year has found our society faced with unprecedented challenges due to COVID-19. Those in the healthcare profession have been asked to put their own lives at risk to save others. They have also been tasked with determining equitable and just protocols for allocating scarce resources, ensuring that necessary and rapid human subject experimentation was performed ethically and with the full consent of those involved, and now they are charged with finding a way to distribute the resulting vaccines to the most vulnerable among us. The lessons of the Holocaust—how the power and privilege of medicine can be abused in times of crisis—have informed our current situation as we have struggled to meet this challenge in the most ethical manner possible.
This Yom Hashoah, while we cannot physically be together to commemorate the significance of this day, let us look to medicine and morality as a way to reflect on the past and protect the future while appreciating the miraculous and selfless work of our healthcare professionals during this global pandemic.
On April 7, the Miller Center for Community Protection and Resilience at Rutgers University, International March of the Living and the Maimonides Institute for Medicine, Ethics and the Holocaust, will present “Medicine and Morality: Lessons From the Holocaust and COVID-19.” This program, produced in cooperation with the USC Shoah Foundation and with the support of international medical associations including the World Medical Association and the Israeli Medical Association, will bring together world renowned scholars in the field of medical ethics and the Holocaust to explore the relevance of medicine, ethics and the Holocaust for our past, present and future.
In addition to the world-class physicians from around the world, remarks will be made by Dr. Anthony Fauci, who will receive the coveted Moral Courage in Medicine Award. The program will be broadcast on JBS (Jewish Broadcasting Service) TV at 7 p.m. EST and will also be available online at
www.motl.org and www.mimeh.org.
Physicians and nurses who participate will receive accreditation for 1.5 hours of ACCME (Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education) credits. Pharmacists will receive 0.15 CEUs (1.50 contact hours) of continuing education credit.
Dr. Wallace Greene, who has lectured and written about the Holocaust and who serves on the UJA Holocaust Commemoration Committee, is one of the producers of this program.

If Parents Are Divorced or Separated, Can the Parent With Full Custody of the Child Prevent the Other Parent From Seeing the Child, Even if That Parent Is Paying Child Support?
- there is a statute or court order that permits it; or
- this kind of statute or court order could be the kind that permits the temporary denial of contact with the child on the grounds that it is necessary to protect a child from abuse or neglect;
- this kind of statute or court order could be the kind that permits the temporary denial of contact with the child on the grounds that the other parent is suspected of engaging is engaging in activity that places the child at risk of harm (such as substance abuse, criminal behavior, severe mental illness, etc.);
- the other parent was never (often referred to as the “noncustodial parent”) was never awarded any visitation (also know as “parent-time”) rights in the first place,
then no, the parent awarded sole (sometimes referred to colloquially as “full”) custody of the child cannot legally and lawfully prevent the other parent from contact with their minor child.
The fact that the noncustodial parent is paying child support likely makes it even harder to justify interfering with that parent’s visitation/parent-time, rights, if he/she has them.

Industrial network restructuring increases availability and flexibility
- Everything for flexible and powerful networks from a single source
- High system availability with redundant network structures
- Individual consulting for customized IT security solutions
As one of the leading European manufacturers, Bode Chemie in Hamburg-Stellingen produces more than 400 products for disinfection, cleaning, nursing, and skin antiseptics. Approximately 18,000 tons of bulk goods are manufactured each year. The comprehensive range is used around the world.
Bode Chemie's company network is divided into an office network and an industrial network. Data exchange between the two networks is regulated via a firewall. For historical reasons, the industrial network was designed with a flat, redundant ring structure. Therefore, all devices, such as PCs, HMI devices, controllers, and distributed I/Os, communicated via a shared Ethernet network.
However, this approach comes with the risk of mutual interference. Data packets which are sent to all devices as broadcasts, for example, tie up resources which cannot then be used for targeted, time-critical process data communication. An Ethernet network with a flat structure can also be a target for viruses and other malware. The existing network structure also limited Bode Chemie with regard to free IP addresses and system maintenance.
Staff have therefore worked together with Phoenix Contact to create a concept that segments the industrial network into different subnets. These are established via physical ring structures with Smart Managed Switches, thereby increasing the availability.
Due to the large distances to be bridged, the rings are laid between the production facilities using Gigabit and fiber optic technology. The Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) is used to resolve the physical ring structures in logical line concepts. The Ethernet devices are connected in the lower-level production systems via Fast Ethernet copper connections.
The industrial areas and the higher-level business processes exchange data redundantly via the copper connections. Two Layer 3 switches handle the connection. They form the industrial backbone and each provides a virtual router interface for the various subnets and the office network. The industrial backbone is installed at a central location in the company's computer center. The modular structure of the Layer 3 switches used in the industrial backbone opens up additional scope for future system extensions.
The Managed Switches support different user interfaces for access to the configuration and diagnostic data. All the necessary settings can be controlled via each device's own web server or SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). The same applies to querying the diagnostic data. In the subnets in which PROFINET is used for the transmission of process data, the switches function as PROFINET devices. In this operating mode, Engineering directly assigns their IP address and their PROFINET names to them. SNMP traps provide rapid diagnostics. Important events, such as the loss of the redundant power supply for the switches in the ring, are transmitted to the centrally installed FL VIEW diagnostics software via SNMP.
The restructuring has increased the stability and availability of the entire industrial network. The industrial backbone ensures clear responsibility and short response times. Combined with the diagnostics software, the relevant functions of the switches and the routed network structure also enable rapid and comprehensive diagnostics.
The modular approach and degree of structuring allow for flexible extension or restructuring of the system. This also applies to the planned system protection by means of distributed firewalls, which involves no further configuration effort.

text: I know there's an NTR plugin for the game, and one of the codes lets you modify the walk/run speed, but I have no clue how to use NTR. I don't want them to run/walk faster, only just run all the time instead of holding the B button. I don't get why the devs would allow you to set the L button as A so you can essentially play with one hand, but not set run to always.... So, any way to do this with Gateshark cheats? Or is there a guide on how to do this with NTR? This is my current setup: N3DS on 11.2.0 with A9LH & LumaCFW & GW emu. I am aware I can run NTR on it, but I haven't been able to get it working.

Life’s A Cappella
Publication Date:November 15, 2013
I want to tell you all of that, but then my story would be masked with lies and not worth telling.
My life didn’t start until I left my past. And I left everything. My mother, my friends, my name.
My new name, the name everyone knows me by is Erin Lewis.
Four years after finding the courage to leave her hometown in Alabama, Erin is finally happy with where her life has led her. Not only is she secure in her environment, but the relationships she has formed center her, making her forget how damaged she once was. Before she can fully settle into her new life, her past crashes into her present, unraveling a set of events that destroy the very foundation she has built her new life on.
A debut novel…such a surprise, for a beautifully written novel. Life’s A Cappella is absolutely captivating. From the beginning, I felt free, then sadness, heartache, and happiness. I could feel each of Erin’s emotions tug at my heart as I read Life’s A Cappella. Yessi Smith is a very creative author, tangling her love for music, with such a story. The story feels so real and authentic, it connects you to the character, as you feel every ounce of emotion with them and for them. I can’t wait to read more from this up and coming literary rock star!! – Author Silla Webb (Amazon)
This is a really touching story of Erin, a young woman who left her old life behind her.
She is finally settled into her new life. She has made good friends & is in a relationship, and is trying very hard to forget her old life.
Then tragedy hits & she is thrown back into her old life. Erin then has to face her demons to go forward into a completely new life.
This story tackled a very sad topic very well, not too over the top, but with just enough detail to touch you.
I found myself very emotional, crying & laughing.
This is a really good read.

For those of us born before, say, the year 2000, it’s hard to imagine what it’s like growing up with streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and so on and so forth. Binge-watching has only become a “thing” in the past five years or so, and before that viewers had to wait for the DVD of a series to come out to marathon watch. Even worse, before the age of DVDs, you had to just make damn sure you were home to watch your favorite show, or else be lucky enough to catch it during summer reruns.
Kids today will never know that once extremely real struggle. But at the same time, there was once — dare we even say — a certain thrill about catching a show as it aired? Back then, TV watching used to be a high stakes affair, as it was pointed out on Twitter recently.
“I feel sorry for Netflix era kids,” tweeted social media professional Felicity Vallence, earlier this week. “They will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/bedroom in a single ad break, with the beckoning call of a sibling screaming ‘It’s ONNNNNN’ to send you hurdling over furniture to get back in time.”
In any case, Vallence’s tweet seems to have struck a chord, because in addition to being retweeted over a quarter million times, many others are echoing her sentiments:
Some even described injuring themselves over their love of TV:
But not everyone agreed with her:
These days, the biggest TV watching-related inconvenience kids experience is when Netflix pauses the binge to ask if you’re still watching. If they only knew…

Just under half (46 per cent) of mothers made redundant or expecting to be made redundant during the Covid-19 crisis say lack of childcare provision played a role, a study has found.
The survey, by Pregnant Then Screwed, showed that many mothers faced reduced working hours because of childcare issues, with 72 per cent forced to cut back to care for children.
The poll, which asked 19,950 mothers and pregnant women about the impact of the pandemic on their careers, found 65 per cent of mothers who had been furloughed cited lack of childcare as the reason for being placed on the government’s job retention scheme.
- Women providing two-thirds more childcare than men during lockdown, ONS finds
- School closures could impact future workforce for generations, study warns
- Pregnant women and new mothers to receive greater redundancy protection under proposed bill
Of the employed mothers surveyed, four-fifths (81 per cent) said they needed childcare to be able to work, but half (51 per cent) did not have the necessary childcare in place to enable them to do their job during lockdown.
Regarding the experiences of pregnant women during the pandemic, the poll found one in 10 (11 per cent) women on maternity leave had been made or expected to be made redundant. Of these women, 70 per cent were black, 27 per cent disabled and 47 per cent single mothers.
The survey also revealed that 46 per cent of pregnant women suspended from work because of their pregnancy had been suspended on incorrect terms. This included 33 per cent on furlough, and another 13 per cent on sick pay or who had been told to take holiday or start maternity pay early.

Claire McCartney, senior resource and inclusion adviser at the CIPD, said the results were extremely concerning and added to an already growing body of evidence suggesting the pandemic was having a “disproportionately negative impact on working mothers”.
"The government needs to look at childcare provision as a matter of urgency as [they] are likely to be limited across the summer holidays and potentially after school when schools reopen in September,” said McCartney.
Joe Levenson, director of communications and campaigns at the Young Women's Trust, said “women have been bearing the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic. It is absolutely clear that women’s equality will continue to move backwards in the absence of a strong focus within government and from employers on preventing this from happening.”
Levenson added that the government needed to invest in childcare, and that employers needed to make flexible working the norm to “ensure no young woman [was] left behind in the country's economic recovery programme".
The research followed prime minister Boris Johnson’s announcement that employers would be encouraged to reopen offices from 1 August, so during the summer break for schools. The plans drew criticism from members of the opposition and his own party, who accused him of failing to include childcare provision in economic recovery plans.
Labour leader Keir Starmer accused the prime minister of “putting parents in an impossible position” by urging them to return to work when the childcare sector was struggling. Meanwhile, women and equalities select committee chair Caroline Nokes lobbied for Treasury ministers to examine whether the government’s response to Covid-19 has been gendered.
Sam Smethers, chief executive at the Fawcett Society, said the Pregnant Then Screwed survey confirmed “what we have been saying for some time”.
“We are turning the clock back on women's rights and maternal employment in particular,” she warned. “The government's failure to prioritise childcare will cost the economy dear and will hit women hard. We need an urgent investment in childcare and we need it now.”
Joeli Brearley, chief executive and founder of Pregnant Then Screwed, said Johnson’s announcement on returning to work “completely [ignored] the realities facing women”.
“This lack of childcare is destroying women’s careers, they are being made redundant, they are being forced to cut their hours and they are being treated negatively all because they are picking up the unpaid labour required to keep the country going,” she said.
The survey also revealed that pregnant employees were returning to the workplace despite being classed as ‘clinically vulnerable’ and at high risk of infection. Just under half (45 per cent) of pregnant workers attending work outside the home had not had an individual risk assessment conducted, increasing to 52 per cent for BAME pregnant women, the research found.
A further 46 per cent of these pregnant women did not feel safe from Covid-19 at work, increasing to 59 per cent for BAME pregnant women.
McCartney said: "In the workplace, it’s important that working parents are properly supported by their line managers and that employers offer flexible working and flexibility over role responsibilities during this challenging period where parents are trying to juggle childcare and work responsibilities.”
Brearley said employers must provide pregnant women with a detailed risk assessment on keeping them safe. “The risk assessment should demonstrate that [the pregnant employee is] able to socially distance including on [their] commute. If [the employer] can’t do this then they must allow [a pregnant woman] to work from home and where that’s not possible they should suspend [them] on full pay. Not furlough, not sick pay, not enforced early maternity leave,” she said.
Brearley added that at least five pregnant women had already died from the virus and it was “simply not OK to continue treating pregnant workers as collateral damage throughout this pandemic”.
The results found that self-employed mothers were also suffering, with 74 per cent having had their earning potential reduced because of a lack of access to childcare. Brearley said this was an “absolute disaster” for self-employed women.


In an era where harmful rays from the sun are becoming increasingly prevalent, it is of utmost importance to be aware of the potential dangers they pose. Taking proactive measures to stay safe and protect yourself from these harmful rays should be a top priority for everyone.By acknowledging the reality of these dangers, we can take necessary steps towards safeguarding our well-being. One effective way to combat this issue is by utilizing reliable sun protection products that act as a shield against the harmful effects of UV radiation. These products not only provide a physical barrier between your skin and the damaging rays but also ensure peace of mind knowing that you are taking proactive steps towards protecting your health.In addition to using protective products, cultivating good habits like seeking shade during peak hours and wearing appropriate clothing can further enhance your defense against harmful rays. By staying informed about the latest research and expert recommendations, you equip yourself with valuable knowledge that will aid in making informed decisions about how best to protect yourself.Remember, ensuring your safety is not just a matter of personal concern but also an act of responsibility towards those around you. By setting an example and actively promoting sun safety measures, you encourage others to prioritize their own well-being in the face of this pervasive threat.In conclusion, by acknowledging the dangers posed by harmful rays and taking proactive measures to protect ourselves, we can navigate our daily lives with confidence and peace of mind. Let us embrace sun safety practices as an integral part of our routine – after all, safeguarding our health is an investment that pays rich dividends in both the short term and long term. Stay safe, stay protected!
The Hidden Dangers of Harmful Rays: Protecting Yourself from Sunlight and Beyond
In this era of advanced technology, we are constantly exposed to harmful rays from various sources, with sunlight being one of the most prevalent. It is vital to prioritize protecting ourselves from the hidden dangers that lurk within these rays. That’s where sun protection becomes an essential part of our daily routine.One particular concern when it comes to sun exposure is UV radiation. This invisible menace can have detrimental effects on our skin and overall health if we don’t take proper precautions. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to shield ourselves from its harmful effects.Investing in high-quality sunscreen products with a broad spectrum SPF rating is a must. These products act as a shield, forming a protective barrier between our skin and those damaging rays. Additionally, wearing appropriate clothing such as wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts, and sunglasses can further enhance our defense against UV radiation.But let’s not forget about the importance of seeking shade during peak hours when the sun’s intensity is at its highest. Taking breaks from direct sunlight can significantly reduce our exposure to harmful rays and give our skin much-needed respite.It’s worth mentioning that sun protection should not be limited to sunny days alone – clouds can also pose risks as they do not block out UV radiation entirely. Therefore, incorporating these preventive measures into our daily routine becomes crucial regardless of weather conditions.By adopting a diligent approach towards safeguarding ourselves from the damaging effects of UV radiation through consistent use of sun protection methods and raising awareness about its hidden dangers, we can ensure healthier and happier lives for ourselves and those around us.
The Importance of Sunscreen: How to Choose the Right SPF for Maximum Protection
The significance of sunscreen cannot be emphasized enough. When it comes to protecting our skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s rays, choosing the right sunscreen is crucial. Opting for a sunscreen with a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF) ensures maximum protection against harmful UVB and UVA rays.By integrating sunscreen into our daily skincare routine, we not only shield ourselves from painful sunburns but also significantly reduce the risk of long-term damage such as premature aging and even skin cancer. It is imperative to select a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection, safeguarding us from both UVA and UVB rays.When faced with a wide range of options in the market, it can be overwhelming to determine which sunscreen to choose. However, by prioritizing products with higher SPF levels, we can confidently safeguard ourselves against harmful sun exposure. Remember that SPF ratings indicate how effectively a product shields our skin from UVB rays—the main cause of sunburns—while also providing some level of protection against UVA rays responsible for premature aging.Investing in a high SPF sunscreen provides an extra layer of reassurance as it offers longer-lasting protection and minimizes the need for frequent reapplication. This ensures that our skin remains shielded throughout our outdoor activities, regardless of how intense the sunlight may be.In conclusion, when it comes to safeguarding our skin health, selecting a sunscreen with maximum protection is essential. By opting for products with higher SPF levels and broad-spectrum coverage, we prioritize not only immediate defense against sunburns but also long-term skin health preservation. Let’s make smart choices when it comes to sun protection and Indulge your precious skin with the utmost care and attention it truly deserves. Your skin, being the largest organ of your body, craves nourishment and pampering to maintain its natural radiance and youthful glow. By adopting a comprehensive skincare routine that includes gentle cleansing, hydrating moisturizers, and targeted treatments, you can ensure that every inch of your skin is rejuvenated from within.
Protective Measures: Tips and Tricks to Shield Yourself from Harmful Rays
The sun’s rays can be both beneficial and harmful. While sunlight provides us with essential vitamin D, prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays can lead to serious health issues such as skin cancer, premature aging, and eye damage. It is crucial to take proactive measures to protect ourselves from these harmful rays.
Here are some tips and tricks to shield yourself from harmful rays:
1. Wear sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher on all exposed areas of your skin, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.
2. Seek shade: When the sun is at its strongest between 10 am and 4 pm, try to stay in the shade as much as possible. This will reduce your direct exposure to UV rays.
3. Wear protective clothing: Cover up with lightweight, long-sleeved shirts, pants, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays.
4. Use umbrellas or sunshades: If you’re spending time outdoors for extended periods, consider using an umbrella or a sunshade for extra protection against direct sunlight.
5. Check the UV index: Stay informed about the daily UV index in your area. The higher the index number, the greater the risk of UV exposure. Adjust your outdoor activities accordingly.
6. Avoid tanning beds: Tanning beds emit artificial UV radiation that can be just as damaging as natural sunlight. It’s best to avoid them altogether.
7. Protect your eyes: Invest in sunglasses that provide 100% UVA and UVB protection. This will help shield your eyes from potential damage caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Remember, protecting yourself from harmful rays should be a year-round priority – not just during sunny summer months but also during winter when snow can reflect up to 80% of UV radiation. By following these tips and tricks, you can enjoy the outdoors while minimizing the risks associated with harmful rays.
Harmful Rays at Home: Indoor Protection Strategies You Should Know About
In today’s world, where harmful rays and UV radiation are constantly posing risks to our health, it is crucial to implement effective indoor protection strategies to ensure home safety. The damaging effects of UV radiation on our skin cannot be overlooked, as they can lead to premature aging, skin damage, and even increase the risk of skin cancer.Fortunately, there are numerous measures we can take to safeguard ourselves and our loved ones from these harmful rays within the confines of our homes. Investing in high-quality window films or shades that specifically block UV rays is a wise decision. These protective barriers not only provide an added layer of defense against harmful radiation but also help regulate temperature and reduce energy consumption.Furthermore, incorporating sun-protective fabrics into our interior design can significantly contribute to maintaining a safe environment. Opting for curtains or blinds with built-in UV protection not only adds an elegant touch to your living space but also acts as a shield against the detrimental effects of prolonged sun exposure.To enhance overall protection within your home, it is essential to educate yourself about the peak hours of UV radiation and plan activities accordingly. Avoiding direct sunlight during these peak hours will greatly minimize the chances of skin damage.Another crucial aspect often overlooked is proper skincare. Incorporating sunscreen with high SPF into your daily routine is vital for safeguarding your skin from harmful rays both indoors and outdoors. Applying sunscreen generously on exposed areas such as face, neck, arms, and hands will provide an additional layer of defense against potential harm.By implementing these indoor protection strategies diligently and being proactive in adopting home safety measures against harmful rays, you can create a secure environment where you can thrive without compromising your health or beauty. Remember that prevention is always better than cure when it comes to protecting yourself from the damaging effects of UV radiation on your precious skin.

text: Evan is widowed father of four, who feels lost, depressed, lonely and guilty. The depression starts to end when he meets Matt, a known womanizer that is unsure of where his life is headed. I loved reading how these two characters developed and how their friendship was helping them get out of their funk. Slowly that much needed friendship turning into sexual attraction. The story was very sweet. Loved how Matt interacted with Evans' kids and the love they felt for each other. I thought it was a believable story of two straight men discovering their true sexuality with each other. It was endearing and realistic. I definitely recommend this book to those who are wanting to read their first m/m romance.

I had a totally different post planned for this week. But then Tia Jenny sent me some photos of Ygal. At the sight of this one, my heart just stopped.
This could very well be my favorite photo of Ygal EVER.
The thing about losing someone you love is that you never know what will set you off. For me, this picture was one of those things. Each time I look at it, I just see so much life. I see an amazing person with so much to offer, who brought joy and love to so many people. I am reminded of the cruelty of life. I think about all of Ygal's dreams.....dreams which were buried along with him. Beautiful and lofty dreams. I think about Bianca and Cristina sorting through his clothes last weekend and how damned painful that must have been for them. I think of Cristina sleeping in one of his shirts and my heart breaks a million times for the mother who lost one of her babies. I think of the emptiness in Bianca & Yaron's home, an emptiness IMPOSSIBLE to fill. I think of how the Jewish faith considers each and every person an entire universe. I look at this picture and I can actually see, I can feel that entire universe. I think of my dear husband who carries a load of pain around with him everywhere he goes. I think of how my friends tell me that Alain seems so sad every time they see him. I encounter gifts in our home, gifts that Ygal & Bianca gave to our babies and I feel sick thinking that there won't ever be more (from Bianca, yes, but not from Ygal). I think about how this will be the last year ever in which I spent time with Ygal. The record has stopped playing. I think of all of us and how we work so hard to move on....but wonder how we're supposed to move on when our minds, hearts, bodies, souls seem stuck on June 29th. I know all too well that there was a life before the news and there's a life after. That alone causes me much sadness. I think of the new fear that plagues me, the fear of losing someone else in my life. Or the fear that something happens to me and my girls have to grow up without a mother. I pray and hope and beg the air, like a crazed fool, that I don't ever have to lose one of my babies.
One photo.....all of this....I could write all day. Losing Ygal has put me in a weird, loopy, philosophical headspace. My new normal.
I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. Ever.
Tia, Jenny, thank you for this beautiful photo. Thank you.
PS ~ I can't even wait for Friday ~ I'm posting this one now.

Fox News’ anchor Chris Wallace and an adviser to the Trump reelection campaign got into a tense exchange Sunday over the president’s family sitting in the first row at Tuesday’s presidential debate without wearing masks.
Wallace, who moderated the debate in Cleveland that turned into a free-wheeling 90 minutes of insults and interruptions between President Trump and Joe Biden, asked Steve Cortes why Trump’s family flouted the rules set up by the Cleveland Clinic — to which Cortes replied that they had already been tested for COVID-19.
“Do they think that the health and safety rules for everybody else do not apply to them?” he questioned on “Fox News Sunday.”
“Everybody was tested before that event, as you well know,” Cortes replied.
“It doesn’t matter. Everybody that was in that room was tested and the Cleveland Clinic’s regulation was that it didn’t matter,” said Wallace, adding that only he, the president and Biden were exempt from the mask-wearing regulations.
Trump is receiving treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after he and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for the coronavirus on Thursday.
Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, has tested negative.
Wallace pointed out images showing the Trump family — Eric, Donald Jr., Ivanka, Tiffany and the first lady — not wearing facial coverings, along with White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
He added that officials from the Cleveland Clinic approached the family and offered to give them masks, but were waved away.
“So forget this question of being tested beforehand. Everybody was tested beforehand. That — no, I’m going to finish my question — everybody was told to wear a mask, why did the first family and the chief of staff feel that the rules for everybody else didn’t apply to them?” Wallace pressed.
“Chris, we believe the masks are very useful. The president has worn them on many occasions,” Cortes said.
“We also believe in some element of individual choice. People were distanced, and they had been tested, both of those things were true,” he said.
But Wallace immediately shot back.
“They weren’t distanced and there were rules and there was no freedom of choice. They broke the rules, why did they break the rules?” the Fox News host pressed.
After a few more moments of back-and-forth between the two, Cortes brought up Wallace’s moderating duties at the debate.
“The way you’re starting to harangue me now actually reminds me of what you did to the president. He had to debate not just Joe Biden but you as well. You were not a neutral moderator then,” Cortes said before going on to call Wallace the “effective opposition to the president.”
“People can make reasonable decisions for themselves,” Cortes said.
“No, actually they can’t, they’re the rules and they’ll be kicked out next time,” Wallace countered. “The president interrupted me and the vice president 145 times, so I object to saying I harangued the president, I know it’s the talking point.”

ADHD experts say it is often a pediatrician who does not spend the kind of time it takes to make an accurate diagnosis. The gold standard of ADHD diagnosis is an analysis of questionnaires, like those Connors developed, filled out by parents, teachers and other people who interact with the child and observe classroom behavior.

Each child can take hours to analyze. Harold S. The CDC, however, defends its figures. In this case, scientists in the field do a full 2. The percentage of children taking drugs jumped by more than a quarter, from 4. In fall and spring , there was even a brief shortage of ADHD drugs, particularly generics, because the demand was outpacing the supply. They include acting before thinking, being unable to delay gratification, staying motived to finish a boring task, keeping strong emotions in check, remembering an assignment and how to complete it, or planning ahead.
But three other factors play a pivotal role in determining whether a child has a disorder or is just quirky, inattentive, or high-spirited. To be diagnosed with ADHD, children must have most of those 18 symptoms, most of the time, in most areas of their lives, from home to school to the neighborhood playground. While kids with ADHD can be gregarious, their impulsiveness can create problems, often alienating others, including siblings, teachers, and classmates.
All of this carries enormous social cost in school and on the playground. But, in general, for a child with attention deficits, trying to focus on one thing is akin to trying to discern the chirping of crickets in Times Square.
Some are chronically late. ADHD is divided into subtypes—children just with attention problems, those with impulse control and hyperactivity issues, and a group with a combination of the two. The latter is the most common, occurring in two-thirds to three-quarters of people, estimates Barkley. Children with attention problems can have any or all of these symptoms, but may not be any more fidgety than the average child.
On the other hand, children who are hyperactive as well as distractible may not be able to stop moving or even to stop talking, including to themselves. An internal conversation for most people can become a conference call on speakerphone for a child with ADHD. The minute Saorla learned to walk she climbed—everything, and not skillfully. She was impulsive, fearless and, probably as a result, accident-prone. The Meenaghs once had to call the police and fire department to get Saorla, then a toddler, out of a bathroom where she had barricaded herself behind a locked door and a drawer she pulled out.

To say that ADHD is sometimes misdiagnosed—even over-diagnosed—is likely true, say many experts. Today we have brain scans, genetic studies, twin studies that show that this is a highly inherited neurobiological disorder, not some made-up condition. If the filter is too porous, too many stimuli get through. Scans show that those brain regions in children with ADHD are smaller than they are in children in the general population.
In one study done jointly by the Child Psychiatry Branch of the National Institute of Mental Health and McGill University in Montreal, brain scans of children with ADHD showed that the thickening of cortical tissue was delayed by about three years compared to scans of a control group of equal numbers of normally developing youngsters. The ultimate source of these brain differences is likely genes—perhaps thousands of them.
The heritability of ADHD is striking. But this chemical that carries information between nerve cells plays a far more important function in human life than providing us with a cocaine or cupcake high. It uses reward—the pleasurable feelings it supplies—to motivate us to pay attention, avoid distraction, to pick out the most relevant information circulating in short-term memory when solving a problem or completing a task.
It also governs motion. There are dopamine receptors on certain neurons nerve cells to which dopamine delivers its various messages, such as pay attention, control yourself, feel good, and do that thing that made you feel good again, the latter reflecting its role in promoting both addiction and learning.
Dopamine transporters also protrude from the neurons that produce dopamine. One particular gene, DAT-1, has been implicated in both ADHD and bi-polar disorder and is very active in the basal ganglia and pre-frontal cortex, the brain regions that are smaller in people with ADHD.

Other genes recently linked to the disorder strengthen the idea that ADHD is a fundamental communication system gone awry, a short-circuiting of the transmission between cells. There are some non-genetic risk factors for ADHD: premature birth, maternal smoking and alcohol use, lead exposure, frequent maternal infections during pregnancy, and brain injuries.
A German study found a significant link between having eczema, a rash caused by allergies, and developing ADHD symptoms, giving more credence to a controversial theory that at least some ADHD is the result of allergies or sensitivities to certain foods, food additives, or other environmental chemicals.

The takeaway: eat organic produce or at least wash your veggies. See other approaches to try. He made it to the front office before he was stopped. He recently graduated from Penn with a degree in physics. One of the clues that lead researchers to look at the dopamine genes as possible markers of ADHD is the effect of methylphenidate—the drug known as Ritalin, a central nervous system stimulant and one of the early drugs used to treat ADHD.
But the drugs work so well on symptoms that sales barely slowed in when the FDA—briefly—required them to carry a black box warning because of a small number less than 50 over 10 years of reported deaths, mostly related to heart damage.
Who Was Sojourner Truth?
Another FDA panel withdrew the black box warning within a month. So why does stimulant medication given to high-energy kids calm them down? Today we know that stimulants such as Ritalin, Adderall and Vyvanse, like other drugs, have the opposite effect on children than the one they have on adults. Diet, exercise, parenting techniques and therapy are extremely important as well. Yet the majority of children with ADHD are getting only medication. Drug Guide: Choosing the Right Medication. Parents turn to drugs alone for a number of reasons.
Experts such as Pelham, Koplewicz, Hallowell, and Barkley are all proponents of medication, but not necessarily as a first-line treatment. He laments that the takeaway from the MTA research has been that pills alone work. Research has produced evidence that good parenting can even trump bad genes. They also learn how to give instructions to a child whose short-term working memory is impaired and who finds it tougher than normal to keep distractions at bay. Parents practice ways to minimize their responses to minor annoyances—like a year-old who repeatedly puts her feet on the dining room table.
This does not help. Friedman, director of the psychopharmacology clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College, drew on the Kenya study, to suggest that many children with the genetic version of ADHD might benefit from education plans tailored to their needs for hands-on, fast-paced experiences high in novelty that, while unlikely to reduce their need for medication, could turn their disability into an asset.
Kerri Meenagh was fortunate. That, she said, changed some of the expectations she and her husband have for their daughter—and themselves. While most kids can find something to occupy them for 45 minutes at Mass, Saorla has to go to the bathroom at least three times. So we go to Mass and Saorla has to go to the bathroom three times. If I know that happens because she has a brain disorder, why would I get upset? And Saorla seems to gravitate towards activities that channel some of her risk taking and her copious energy, particularly performing.

The Carlyle Group has made a pair of top hires to handle its power and consumer and retail investments.
The firm today said it had named Matthew O'Connor co-head of its power investments group. He will lead the unit—a team that joined the private-equity giant last year when it acquired Congentrix—with the current co-chief, Robert Mancini.
O'Connor joins from General Electric, where he was executive vice president for financing at GE Capital's aviation services unit.
"His experience in the power markets, as well as global lending and strategy across the energy markets, adds important leadership depth and experience to our capabilities as we expand Carlyle's investment footprint in the power sector," Mancini said.

Foundation for Rehabilitation & Development of Children and Family (FORDEC),
is a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to helping children, youth,
families and the aged who are poor, handicapped, wandering, homeless, addicted
to drugs, abused, HIV/AIDS afflicted and just generally living in difficult
circumstances. The Foundation provides material assistance for survival and
opportunities for physical and intellectual growth to uplift these peopleís
Amporn Wathanavongs formed FORDEC on 14 February 1998, St. Valentines Day. This
day was chosen to symbolize love. The Foundation aims to realize and extend love
and transform it into action to bring about material and spiritual needs to all
distressed, and through this action uplift their living conditions, promoting
human dignity. The Foundation works under the principle, "Give love and
concern to all distressed."
Dr. Amporn with his charges
helps families with health, housing and occupational assistance to increase
their income and to enable them to attain a better standard of living. FORDEC's
main concern is to help the families in rural areas who have been affected by
the loss of work due to the economic crisis on 1997, and all families are helped
regardless of race or religious affiliation.
is aware that many children in rural areas are suffering from malnutrition. In
an effort to eradicate this, FORDEC is supporting a lunch program, which
provides nutritious food for children attending day centers and schools. At
present, the government helps by providing twenty percent and FORDEC supplements
this by a further fifty-five percent.
the help from the government is going to be reduced due to the fact that FORDEC
support is so visible and so now it needs to raise this extra twenty percent to
be able to continue to support the lunch program. Currently 3,700 children in
twenty-nine schools, in four rural provinces along the Thai/Cambodian border are
benefiting from the lunch program.
does not just believe in eradicating malnutrition but also in helping the
families to help themselves and so it has set up an agriculture project. This
project teaches the children how to raise chickens, fish, pigs and ducks and how
to grow corn, rice and bananas. The products are then used to supplement the
lunch program. This project was started this year and has already helped 3,700
educational and vocational programs support individual families to help their
children attend school. Self-esteem and a career are essential keys to a better
future and FORDEC has helped 4,500 children with their schooling. FORDEC also
wishes in the future to help more young adults get to university and college. To
date, it has helped sixteen young adults with university and college studies
including one person who is studying at medical school.
has recently helped rural children by giving them scholarships with the
cooperation of the Monarch Lee Gardens Hotel. Many of these children have no
shoes and have to walk several kilometers to school. FORDEC intends to provide
20,000 pairs of sandals annually and has so far provided 1000.
Many of these very poor and underprivileged children, who live in remote parts of the provinces along the Thai/Cambodian border, have difficulties getting to school. This is largely due to the fact that they often live more than four kilometers from their school, with no shoes, little food and no transport. These children are poor because their families lost land because of forest conservation programs. They also have the added difficulty that there are still land mines in the area because of previous fighting between the two fractions in Cambodia for power.
is setting up a project to provide bicycles to the children living along the
border, who don't live on a bus route. 3,700 bicycles will be sent there, which
will enable 7,000 children to get to school easier. When these children have
finished school they will return the bikes to the school to enable other kids to
is also in the process of supporting the community to build a day care center
for seventy children in the rural area of Kalasin. At present, the smaller
children are cared for in decrepit conditions. FORDEC wishes to build a day care
center so that the children can be cared for in a safe and clean environment,
five days a week. This building will benefit future generations and enable
parents to go to work safe in the knowledge that their children are being
properly cared for.
continues to help those with drug rehabilitation, those affected by HIV/AIDS,
the elderly and people with multiple handicaps. FORDEC assisted with a project
to build the Hope House, which is a center for those affected by HIV/AIDS and
also The House of Love, a home for children with HIV/AIDS. In the Hope House and
The House of Love, the patients receive love, care and the moral and spiritual
support that they need to gain strength to fight the disease as well as medical
care in an unbiased and non-judgmental atmosphere.
helps people with multiple handicaps by supporting their training and then
giving them a real chance by providing them with an initial investment to enable
them to help themselves. Last year, FORDEC worked to improve the health of the
aged in rural areas by providing physical rehabilitation centers with the
necessary equipment and machines for rehabilitation and therapy. This program
works in close cooperation with the community, village temple and local health
personnel. So far, three centers have been completed serving more than 10,000
also helps rural communities with community development. FORDEC helps to provide
sanitation, road improvement and health facilities such as immunization. FORDEC
is keen to help those people in rural areas in all aspects of development to
increase their standard of living.
helping the people in rural areas, FORDEC also addresses some of the problems in
urban areas. As FORDEC helps improve the standard of living for the people in
the rural areas, it takes away the need for them to migrate to urban areas and
thereby decreases problems such as overcrowding, unemployment and pollution in
main concern is to provide more sponsorships. At present, it has found sponsors
for 220 children but there are many more that would appreciate and benefit
immensely from this program.
sponsorship provides long term help to the child and its family. A child who is
on a sponsorship program will be able to receive housing and health improvements
and their family will be helped through an occupational investment to help
generate an income so that the family can become self-supporting.
training is provided according to capabilities. In addition, a loan can be
granted to the family for productive business ventures so that the family can
earn more income to improve their living conditions.
is also about building a higher self-esteem in the individual, having the
knowledge that another individual cares about them. Sponsorship also has immense
benefits on the sponsor's side too, learning about the person they are
sponsoring and being part of that person's life. The sponsorship program also
benefits overseas sponsors by promoting a cultural and international
an Old Brother I Offer this Food"
is among the four basic necessities for survival in our society. Children are
the most needy for they are the future of our society. They are the force that
will lead our civilization in to the future, and if children are deprived of
basic necessities, our society will eventually fail.
donates time and resources to help develop suitable living conditions for
children in rural areas of Thailand, where many suffer from malnutrition and
lack of education. One of FORDEC's new programs assists in providing food to
over 4,300 children in Thai provinces like Chiang Mai and Nan. The "Lunch
Program," as it is called, provides these children with essential
nourishment. Hopefully, as a result of this, there will be fewer problems with
their health and more time for their education.
order to continue its Lunch Program, FORDEC is requesting the help of anyone
with a loving heart and compassion. There are thousands of other children in
need of assistance. Any donations are most welcome. For only THB6 per day, you
can feed a hungry child. For THB130, a child will be taken care of for one
month, THB600 for six months and THB1,200 for one year.
children of Thailand need your assistance to minimize their suffering. If you
can help, please contact FORDEC and contribute your donation. You can also find
FORDECíS donation boxes all over Thailand. Remember, even the smallest
donations will greatly help reduce the amount of hungry children.

James Hogan, a longtime member of the Southern California Regional Group of the Blinded Veterans Association (BVA) and a volunteer with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System for the past 12 years, has been recognized as VA’s National Male Volunteer of the Year.
The official award presentation will occur during the 69th Annual VA Voluntary Service National Advisory Committee Meeting and Conference held April 22-24, 2015 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
James Hogan, a resident of Canyon Country, California, has logged more than 2,800 hours of voluntary service during his tenure. He is one of 260 BVA volunteers nationwide performing 34,177 hours of service during BVA’s Fiscal Year 2014 (July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014).
James’ dedicated service has also involved his wife, Pam, who volunteers with him. In addition, his guide dog of nine years, Atticus, has worked as a therapy dog for VA Healthcare System patients.
James performs a multitude of volunteer tasks as a VA volunteer, serving blind and visually impaired veterans who are enrolled in the Visual Impairment Service Team (VIST) program. As such, he helps veterans attend fishing trips by arranging transportation and for them. He also helps organize monthly VIST Support Group activities. One of his specialties is also outreach to younger Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and their families regarding benefits, adjustment to disability, and educational opportunities. He also actively serves his fellow blinded veterans within his BVA regional group.
James visits regularly with veterans at the Sepulveda VA Community Living Center and Hospice and mobilizes the local Disabled American Veterans chapter to bring food goodies and cheer to hospitalized patients. Accompanied by Pam and Atticus, he visits veterans at the California State Veterans Homes in the Cities of Lancaster, Ventura, Barstow, and West Los Angeles.
James, Pam, and Atticus work with Vietnam Veterans of America on their annual Homeless Stand Downs in Ventura and Antelope Valley, California. They help the Elks raise funds for their annual veterans’ luncheon at their lodge and drive Boy Scouts to place more than 6,000 flags on veterans’ graves on Memorial Day.
A veteran of the U.S. Navy, James Hogan was diagnosed with hearing loss as a young boy and quickly began utilizing hearing devices. Determined to fulfill his dream of serving his country, he enlisted in the Navy following graduation from high school in 1966. After serving 4½ years in Vietnam combat areas, he re-entered civilian life in 1973. Ten years later, he was diagnosed with Ushers II, a degenerative disease that causes both vision and hearing loss.
Despite his setbacks, James has worked relentlessly to maintain his active lifestyle. He, Pam, and Atticus are often seen riding through town on a Lightfoot Duo Recumbent Cycle, a side-by-side, two-seat quadracycle they obtained after a refresher course James took at the Palo Alto VA Blind Rehabilitation Center in 2012. He has also been an avid spokesman on behalf of those with hearing loss for the HearStrong Foundation. Last year he was proclaimed as a HearStrong champion by the organization.

International Workers’ Memorial Day will be recognised locally this month with a ceremony at the memorial cairn outside Bishopbriggs Library.
The council has built up a tradition of marking the day by laying a wreath at the memorial cairn erected in 2013 to mark the Cadder Pit Disaster of 1913, when 22 miners died.
Representatives from East Dunbartonshire Council will join community planning partners, trades unions and members of the public on Friday, April 28, to remember those who have lost their lives at work.
Chief executive Gerry Cornes, who will lay the wreath on behalf of the council this year, said: “It is right that we come together on this important day and pay our respects to those who have lost their lives at work.
“Health and safety is an important aspect of every workplace and key to preventing such workplace tragedies.
“Like thousands of others across the world we will lay a wreath and observe a moment of silence at the cairn. The short commemorative ceremony starts at 1pm and anyone who would like to join us is welcome to come along.”
Council flags at the Marina HQ will be lowered to half-mast for the day.
The ceremony at the cairn takes place at 1pm on 28 April.
