Unfortunately, not every has been blessed with sanity. That is, there are millions of people living whose defected minds cannot cope up with the fast-paced world of today. When a person is not mentally fit, he is said to have a mental disorder. This is a psychological or behavioral defect that causes a disability that hinders normal human development.
A mental disorder causes one to be labeled as ‘abnormal’, causing severe distress to the patient. There are many different categories of mental disorders – anxiety disorders, mood disorders, dissociative disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, development disorders, sleeping disorders and even eating disorders (Radcliffe, 2000). There is no one cause for every disorder. it is usually explained by a biopsychosocial model, which is the interaction of biological, psychological and social causes (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2007).
Mental disorders may not be cured entirely, but there is extensive treatment available. Psychotherapy is one of the basic methods along with medication. A psychologist cannot prescribe medication to the mental patient. a psychiatrist suggests medicines based on the diagnosis. Diagnosis is based on the patient’s history taken by the doctor as there is no other way for him to determine how the patient is feeling. There are many subgroups of the types of medicines available for mental patients – anti depressants (for producing happy hormones and lifting up a person’s mood), anxiolytics (for reducing anxiety and calming a person down. also prescribed for insomnia), mood stabilizers (using for bipolar disorders – extreme mood conditions), antipsychotics (for problems such as schizophrenia), and lastly stimulants (for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). These medicines are required for a mental patient to remain sane at times. however, there are adverse affects caused by adherence and excessive intake.

Objectives: Extrapleural pneumonectomy is a therapeutic option for selected patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. The impact of lymph node metastasis on the site of recurrence and the role of mediastinoscopy in the selection of patients for extrapleural pneumonectomy, however, remain unclear.
Methods: We reviewed 50 consecutive patients undergoing extrapleural pneumonectomy for malignant pleural mesothelioma in our institution between January 1993 and March 2005.
Results: The median survival was 11 months, with a 3-year survival of 24%. Survival was significantly worse for patients with N2 disease than for those with no lymph node metastasis (median survival 10 months vs 29 months, respectively, P = .005). Patient sex, histologic cell type, stage, and N2 disease, but not mediastinoscopy, had significant impacts on survival according to univariate analysis. In a multivariate analysis, however, only the presence of N2 disease remained a significant predictor of poor outcome. The proportion of patients with N2 disease and the long-term survival was similar regardless of whether preoperative mediastinoscopy yielded a negative result. The initial site of recurrence was determined in 28 patients (locoregional in 10 and distant in 18). The presence of N2 disease had no impact on the site of recurrence. Adjuvant hemithoracic radiation therapy, however, significantly decreased the risk of locoregional recurrence.
Conclusions: The presence of N2 disease negatively affects the prognosis of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Mediastinoscopy, however, seems to have a limited role in patient selection for extrapleural pneumonectomy. Adjuvant hemithoracic radiation therapy but not N2 disease affects the risk of locoregional recurrence

According to the New Jersey State Health Assessment Data for the year 2016, 25.4% of deaths in the United States were heart disease related. That’s a staggering 18,598 people. This is an extremely high death rate for a disease that can be prevented.
From these statistics, you can notice a massive jump from unintentional injury to cancer and heart disease. It can be treated with lifestyle changes and medication or even, in some cases, through surgery. For example, a Coronary artery bypass. Heart disease, also known as Cardiovascular disease. It is a condition where the blood vessels in the body become blocked or narrowed. This can lead to heart attacks or even stroke.
Around sixty years ago, it was discovered that heart disease was in fact, the leading cause of death in America but the route of cardiovascular disease was unknown. This was the case until 1948, when the US public health service launched a study on heart disease based in a town outside of Boston, due to its stable population making it perfect for its study.
At the time the study was carried out, it was post-war and inventions like the dishwasher, the washing machine and electric lawn-mowers where popping up everywhere. Eventually, many household items were being upgraded to electrical appliances making household chores not really a chore anymore. At the same time, cars became popular and affordable. Because of this, cars were no longer a novelty so walking was no longer “necessary.”
Then there was the invention of the television, which led to the term “couch potato” due to the fact that people were no longer exercising as much. During the depression, the US went through severe diet changes. Then post-war, after experiencing severe rations in food, the American population overindulged in foods that were high in cholesterol.
During the war, the majority of American soldiers smoked cigarettes because they were given to them for free by the government. Postwar, soldiers would continue smoking likely due to addiction which led their wives and other family members, like mothers and fathers, to start smoking. During this period people began to have drastic changes in lifestyle and, as a result, people gained a lot more weight from their bad diets, lack of exercise, and excessive smoking. Due to all of this, heart disease increased drastically.
Moving forward into the 21st century, there is still an increase in risk factors. These factors are causing health problems for millions of people around the world and these factors are:
Note: That all of the above health issues make up the 80% of the leading causes of heart disease. All of which can be resolved through an overall improved lifestyle. Heart disease can be prevented but once diagnosed, it cannot be reversed.
Ever since cannabis has gained popularity in the medical world, scientists have carried out tests on cannabis and treating ailments like heart disease. Through these studies and tests, scientists recognise that people who are suffering from heart disease and who are under stress, as a result, can develop chest pain. Whereas people who have heart disease and use marijuana are unlikely to experience this. This study from 2008 called “The adverse effects of cannabinoids: implications for use of medical marijuana” looks at using cannabis as a medical substance in treating many ailments including cardiovascular disease.
It’s important to realise the severity of heart disease and how common it is especially in the 21st century where there are so many unhealthy, over-processed foods. It’s important to learn from the mid 40’s generation and to try and change our eating and lifestyle habits by using them as a bad example. If you are suffering from heart disease and want to use medical cannabis as a form of treatment then you should consult your doctor or any medical professional that you deem fit. Also, check and follow your laws and regulations regarding cannabis in your country or state.

IRVINE, Calif. — A U.S. biotech company plans to develop a biosimilar of a monoclonal antibody used to treat cancers and autoimmune disorders.
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals announced Wednesday a deal with Viropro to develop a biosimilar rituximab, marketed under the brand name Rituxan by Roche’s Genentech division. Global sales of rituximab in 2009 were $5.6 billion, according to Spectrum.
“We are excited at the opportunity to develop our own proprietary biosimilar formulation of rituximab in anticipation of patent expirations for rituximab over the coming years,” Spectrum CEO Rajesh Shrotriya said.
The healthcare-reform bill, which President Barack Obama signed into law in 2010, created a regulatory approval pathway for biosimilars, also known as follow-on biologics, and some analysts expected the Food and Drug Administration to have draft regulations written by the end of this year, though it may take a few years before final regulations appear.

Big Horn 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
6.7 Diesel Black Appearance Group. Basically I will compare my last truck (2010 Tundra 5.7 Rock Warrior 4x4) to this one. My family camps a lot. I have a 9000# camper. My Tundra pulled it very well. For a 1/2 ton truck it's amazing. Great brakes, amazing power, and great comfort. With all that said it is NOT a heavy duty truck!! I originally purchased a 1/2 ton truck because it was a daily driver and figured a 3/4 or 1 ton truck might be too much as a daily driver. I could not have been more wrong. After 5 camping seasons towing with my Tundra and filling up every 120 miles (I got 7.5 mpg) I had enough. I have always wanted a diesel due to obvious reasons; towing/hauling, efficiency, stability, and the pure idea of having a diesel truck. My father has a 2012 F-350 6.7, so I borrowed it for a long trip. About 10 minutes into the trip I knew the Tundra was gone. I drove them all. In my opinion the Ram 2500 was by far the best decision for me as a daily driver. The 3/4 ton has ridiculous towing (17,000+) and the available payload is way more then I would use. It's the only 3/4 ton that has coil rear 5-link system. Which promotes a fantastic ride for a HD truck. The ride is solid, sturdy, and enjoyable. It handles very well for nearly an 8000# truck. For those of you who are...um.. vertically challenged, may have a difficult time getting into it. It will be a more of a jump. I'm 6'4" and I slide right in, however, my wife 5'4", has to climb in - but she loves the truck! Once you get inside you will be amazed on how refined it is. Everything inside the cabin looks high quality and well made. The conveniences included rival most luxury SUVs. Performance wise it will scoot. The nasty torque will put you in your seat, but it is the slowest out of the big 3 from a dead stop. Once you are moving (say 20-30) and you hammer it - they all are fairly close. It shifts quite a bit sooner than the Chevy and Ford. The Ram will shift just before 3,000rpm, whereas the others will shift closer to 3500-4000 on a wide-open throttle acceleration. But I didn't purchase this for drag racing, I bought it for straight up towing. With all the torque available at 1600rpm it does it extremely well and with very little effort. Fuel economy for this 8000# beast is beyond amazing. My Tundra averaged 14.5-15 per tank to and from work. I have over 2000 miles on my Ram; basically 4 tanks. So far each tank has been; 19.2, 18.6, 18.5, and currently I'm sitting at 18.8 with about another 100 miles until I fill up again. I take the same way to and from work everyday. Yes, I have a boring daily routine. I live in central Ohio - the elevation is around 900ft (for those of you that need to know if the mpg is at sea level or in the clouds). PS - I have, and will keep, all the emission. I'm sure I will change my mind in a few months, but for now I'm happy with the sound/performance/mpgs. Granted this entire review is based on a couple thousand miles. Rest assure I will update after I have an entire year of camping under my belt.
Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
I'm writing this review because my 2016 RAM 2500/ 6.7 Laramie 4x4 is a Beast! I custom ordered this truck and man did everything I got on this truck deliver. A month after getting my truck I went to Big Bear after a major snow fall and my truck handled well in 4x4H in the snow. My truck started well in 0 degree weather and every thing worked after driving in 0 degree weather. Next, two months later I went driving in the desert and once again my truck handled well on very rocky and bumpy roads like a champ. I have driven on the beach, in canyons, through water and my truck gets the job done. I just towed my 9,800lbs travel trailer and my truck towed well and braked well. I feel there are two downfalls with this truck; one is the limited turn radius of the truck. The turn radius isn't bad but the truck is hard to park in parking spots. Also the rear air vents provide very limited air in my crew cab. With those small issues stated, the interior of the truck is great. The storage in the rear passenger area is outstanding. I plan to have this truck for a while. Good job RAM!!!!!!!
Laramie Power Wagon 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (6.4L 8cyl 6A)
Sold my toy hauler and had no need for my 2012 F350 with 8' bed. Had a few problems with the ford and after owning a 2005 dodge 2500 decided to give Ram a chance. I will admit I do miss the tailgate step, this is my only complaint. This truck has almost as much technology as the wife's luxury SUV. This is my daily driver and no problems with mirrors if you set them up correctly. With the 6.7 Cummins 370HP/800 TQ and 3.42 rear axle ratio I get 21 mpg at 70 mph and my average with all driving is 17.8 mpg. I can pull my #14,000 trailer without a strain. So if you have to tow and need a comfortable daily driver go test drive a new ram. Since I 1st did this review the only thing I have added is a bestsop trek step. Works great for stepping up and down in a high truck!
Limited 4dr Mega Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
WOW! I purchased a 2016 RAM 2500 Limited 4x4 with the 6.7 Cummins to pull my Airstream. This truck came with everything but a stripper pole! Unbelievably comfortable. Test drove the F250 first then the RAM. Once the wife sat in the RAM and we took it for a test drive it was over. The comfort blows the Ford away. The truck has 2,000 miles already with the Airstream behind it. Going down 8% grades in Western N.C. is worry free with that exhaust brake. Can't say enough about this truck. Look forward to many more fun trips!

The Jersey Arts Centre has issued an urgent appeal for more funding after cuts left it with a major financial shortfall at a time when critical works are needed on the building.
The venue’s Chairman, Andrew Goodyear, said that "urgent" and "radical" action must be taken by the States, or the Arts Centre will be forced to make "significant decisions" on its future.
His comments came more than six months after he raised a so far unanswered SOS to save Jersey's strained culture sector alongside arts leaders Philip Hewat Jaboor and Pierre Horsfall, the respective Chairs of ArtHouse Jersey and the Opera House.
Following a crisis meeting with States representatives earlier this year, Mr Goodyear submitted a bid for a top-up grant for the Arts Centre in early August. The Opera House and ArtHouse Jersey submitted similar bids, which are all independent from each other. While Mr Goodyear says he was due to hear back at the end of August, nearly three months later he still hasn’t had any news.
“We have been talking about funding issues for five years now, but we hit a crisis point at the beginning of the year,” he explained. “The States have acknowledged the issue but we have been waiting for a number of months to hear back.”
Pictured: Capital work is required on the Arts Centre building, Mr Goodyear said.
The island's culture leaders first raised the alarm in an open letter to election candidates back in May.
In it, they explained: "…Jersey grossly underinvests in the cultural sector when compared to similar jurisdictions, including the Isle of Man, and has no coherent strategy for nurturing the creative industries. This chronic underinvestment has led to the Island missing opportunity after opportunity that would have benefitted our community in manifold ways, both economic and social,” they explained.
Andrew Goodyear told Express that the Arts Centre grant was cut by 5% in 2013. “There has been no increase or change since then. This means that in real terms we have taken even more cuts,” he said.
As a result, the Arts Centre is currently running with a structural deficit and additional funding has become critical for the association to continue to operate until the end of 2019. “In addition, urgent funding is also needed to provide some capital work for the building,” Mr Goodyear said.
The top-up grant would only help the Arts Centre maintain itself until the end of 2019, but by then Mr Goodyear is hopeful that a revised funding structure would be in place “to ensure the continuity of the Arts Centre.”
Pictured: Deputy Susie Pinel, the Treasury Minister, said bids for additional funding are currently being reviewed by the Investment Appraisal Board.
The Treasury Minister, Deputy Susie Pinel, explained in the States Assembly last week that the Investment Appraisal Board is currently reviewing the various business cases for funding. “Many requests have been received and there is very limited contingency funding available to allocate,” she said. “All of the requests are being considered by the new Investment Appraisal Board, which I set up in August to replace the many convoluted and cumbersome ways to request additional funding.”
Deputy Pinel confirmed that the requests included some relating to on-island arts organisations. However, she declined to give further comments, stating that until she made a public decision, it would not be “appropriate to be discussing their financial affairs in public.”
She also explained that the Assistant Minister for Culture, Deputy Montfort Tadier, was not involved in that process as the Investment Appraisal Board receives the bids, reviews them and then makes recommendations to the Chief Executive Officer and the Treasurer, who in their turn advise the Minister for Treasury and Resources as to the priority of each bid.
ArtHouse Jersey is also waiting for a reply to their funding request. Tom Dingle, the Director, explained: "Ahead of the elections, ArtHouse Jersey, along with the Arts Centre and Opera House, made clear to candidates that the arts in Jersey are in crisis and that additional funding was urgently required.
"Our understanding is that our funding request is currently being considered by government. We have had very good meetings with senior government representatives and hope to receive positive confirmation as soon as possible that we will have a stable platform on which to operate in future."
With the clock ticking and in the absence of communication from the States - except for fixing a date for a meeting with the Economic Development Department, under which 'culture' falls, next month - Mr Goodyear has warned that a decision needs to be made sooner rather than later. If nothing happens, or if the Arts Centre’s bid is unsuccessful, the association will have to make “significant decisions to maintain its financial integrity on a short-term basis,” Mr Goodyear explained.
“We really don’t want to get to this,” he continued. “The government is fully aware it’s the situation. A radical change in provision is required and I hope that we don’t see this happen. We need to hear in the very near future one way or the other to ensure the Arts Centre is safe for the next year. Our need is urgent to keep us on a sort of level, to make us continue.”

Leading Men by Christopher Castellani
Genre: Historical Fiction
Maturity Level: 5-
View on Goodreads
In July of 1953, at a glittering party thrown by Truman Capote in Portofino, Italy, Tennessee Williams and his longtime lover Frank Merlo meet Anja Blomgren, a mysteriously taciturn young Swedish beauty and aspiring actress. Their encounter will go on to alter all of their lives.
Ten years later, Frank revisits the tempestuous events of that fateful summer from his deathbed in Manhattan, where he waits anxiously for Tennessee to visit him one final time. Anja, now legendary film icon Anja Bloom, lives as a recluse in the present-day U.S., until a young man connected to the events of 1953 lures her reluctantly back into the spotlight after he discovers she possesses the only surviving copy of Williams’s final play.
This is a classic example of why “literary fiction” isn’t for me. Can we not have a book that isn’t mostly about how we’re all going to die someday, and in the meantime it’s inevitable that we’re miserable? Where is the hope? In all fairness, this book ends on a hopeful note, but the first 420 pages were decidedly philosophically bleak.
If you’re super into the great writers of the mid-20th century (Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, and so on), this book will certainly appeal to you. If you are fascinated by LGBT history, this book is probably also for you. If you enjoy novels in which the characters spend more time thinking and reflecting than they do talking, this is DEFINITELY a book you will enjoy. If none of those things are particularly interesting to you, you’ll likely be as bored as I was.
Which I realize sounds like I’m not interested in LGBT history. Let me clarify that that was the one thing I did enjoy.
A big problem for me was that the characters are all unsympathetic. Tennessee is a narcissist, Frank is infuriating, and Anja is cold. I realize that was done on purpose, but for me it was kind of a lot. In particular it really bothered me how Tennessee and Frank would use their fame and charm to sexually take advantage of young boys. Again, I think it’s rather supposed to bother you, and good literature makes you uncomfortable, but there wasn’t really enough to redeem them.
As a love story I also found Frank and Tennessee lacking. They certainly aren’t presented as the ideal relationship. I guess what really bothered me about them was how they cared for each other, but refused to admit it to one another. They were also both really selfish, and thought often of themselves before their partner.
This book was certainly masterfully crafted. Frank and Tennessee leaped off the page as if Castellani personally knew them, and I was 100% convinced that Anja was a real person. The prose are lovely, this philosophizing is intense, and the descriptions are vivid. The time period and setting are captured picture perfectly. There is a nice balance between events that serve to develop characters and events that serve to drive the story forward. Even the multiple POVs and time periods are handled expertly. It was easy to tell who was talking and when.
But as outstanding as this novel was, I personally didn’t connect with it or enjoy it. I appreciated the brilliant writing, the insights in to these real men, and the LGBT history lesson, but I felt like I finished this book out of obligation rather than enjoyment.

Jampel HD, Quigley HA, Kerrigan-Baumrind LA, et al. Risk factors for late-onset infection following glaucoma filtration surgery. Arch Ophthalmol 2001;119:1001–1008.
Original study reprint requests: Henry D. Jampel, MD, MHS, Wilmer Eye Institute, Maumenee B-110, 600 N. Wolfe Street, Baltimore, MD 21287–9205.
To determine the risk factors for late-onset infection after glaucoma filtration surgery.
A case-controlled comparison study.
Multiple centers on behalf of the Glaucoma Surgical Study Group.
Supported in part by the Glaucoma Research Foundation, San Francisco, CA.
We performed a case-control study comparing 131 cases of late-onset infection collected from 27 surgeons at 10 centers with 500 controls matched for date of surgery and surgeon. The criterion for the presence of infection was severe anterior chamber reaction occurring later than 4 weeks after surgery. An opaque bleb and positive culture results were not required for diagnosis. Risk factors were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.
Clinical evidence of anterior chamber reaction.
Some of the risk factors that were statistically significant in the multivariate model after adjusting for age, race, and sex were (i) performance of a full-thickness rather than a guarded procedure (risk ratio [RR], 13.1; 95% CI, 2.12–80.9); (ii) filtration surgery performed without concurrent cataract surgery (RR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.24–4.08), (iii) use of mitomycin (RR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.06–5.83), (iv) intermittent use of antibiotics after surgery (RR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.09–4.02), and (v) continuous use of antibiotics after surgery (RR, 5.94; 95% CI, 2.09–16.9).
Eyes undergoing full-thickness procedures or filtration surgery without cataract extraction are at increased risk of late infection. Intraoperative mitomycin and episodic or continuous antibiotic use after the postoperative period are associated with an increased risk of infection.
Endophthalmitis is the most serious late complication of glaucoma filtering surgery. Fortunately, it has a relatively low (although possibly rising) incidence. The infrequency with which it occurs, however, also works against us in collecting meaningful information in case–control studies regarding prevention and management of the complication. Jampel and co-workers sought to overcome this problem by designing a multi-center study with a sufficient number of cases and controls to allow statistically significant associations between risk factors and late-onset infection after glaucoma filtering surgery.
As the authors note, their study design has certain limitations. The retrospective design requires surgeons to recall cases of endophthalmitis, so that some cases from the various centers may not have been included. With 27 surgeons from 10 centers, there may have been inconsistency in case selection, because an opaque bleb and positive culture were not required for the diagnosis. It is also important to note that the results, using linear regression analysis, do not tell us whether there is a cause-and-effect relationship between outcomes and risk factors, but only that they are statistically related. Nevertheless, by using appropriate statistical analyses, the authors were able to provide some clinically useful information from their data.
The authors used multivariate and univariate logistic regression analyses to identify risk factors. Multivariate analyses are critical because, as the authors point out, they adjust for the presence of many related variables. However, there is the risk of one variable being missed if it is closely associated with another variable. For example, the use of mitomycin was not significantly associated with infection, although prior surgery was, but the former did become significant when the latter was removed from the model. It may also identify risk factors that are only indirectly related to the outcome. For example, the absence of concurrent cataract surgery, which was identified as a risk factor, obviously does not mean that pseudophakia protects against endophthalmitis per se, but that the filtering blebs in these eyes tend to be lower and thicker.
Univariate analysis was used to advantage in the present study to identify risk factors that were too incompletely or infrequently recorded in the medical records to be included in the multivariate analyses. This approach led to the identification of inferiorly located blebs, high blebs, bleb leak, and blepharitis as being associated with the development of infection. The clinician, therefore, must be aware of factors such as full-thickness procedures, use of mitomycin, and intermittent or chronic use of antibiotics to identify patients at higher risk of late-onset infection, but must also pay close attention to the bleb appearance and related ocular findings to anticipate and hopefully prevent the serious consequences of endophthalmitis after glaucoma filtering surgery.

- Cut out small raindrop shapes into the lighter green and yellow for the lime and lemon. Cut 3 per slice and glue into place.
- Cut a smaller half circle into the pink/red felt and glue onto the dark green.
- Using a sharpie draw on 3 raindrop shapes or dots for the seeds in the fruit.
- Lay in order of how you want them to appear on the bunting and face down.
- Glue on the very top line of the slices (straight edge) and lay the ribbon on top.
- Let dry then hang.

A THREATENED strike by contract cleaners and porters which threatened to bring a Birmingham hospital to a virtual standstill has been averted.
Union officials, representing domestic staff hired by Initial Hospital Services at Heartlands Hospital, held crunch talks over pay conditions with employers yesterday.
An agreement has now been made that will see the 350 cleaners and porters receive the same pay and conditions as colleagues, employed by the NHS, at other hospitals by July 1.
Initial agreed last October to give its contracted staff equal wages, holiday and sickness entitlements as NHS workers, but union members claimed not all the promises have been kept.
They were planning to ballot for a strike next month to show their anger at Initial.
Unison spokesman Ray Salmon said: "The meeting was fruitful and we believe this agreement will be kept in July.
"To make sure this situation is monitored, Unison, Initial and bosses from Heartlands Hospital will meet every month. It is disappointing that after everything promised last year, we are back around the table talking about the same thing.
"The only thing left to sort out is extra leave for long service."
A strike could have led to operations being cancelled, because of no porters to move patients into theatre, and the potential closure of wards due to lack of cleaners and hygiene risks for superbugs like MRSA.


Lost in the mixed martial arts (MMA) shuffle last night (Sat., Nov. 15, 2014), somewhere between Fabricio Werdum laying waste to Mark Hunt at UFC 180 (video highlights) and Tito Ortiz vs. Stephan Bonnar wasting our time at Bellator 131 (video highlights), World Series of Fighting (WSOF) 15 was staging its own main event.
Expectations were super high at least.
WSOF 15, which took place at USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Fla., featured a Middleweight main event that pit division champion, David Branch, up against former No. 1-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 185-pound title challenger, Yushin Okami, on NBC Sports Network.
It appeared inevitable that Okami would swoop in and dispatch the less-accomplished Branch with relative ease; however, the Renzo Grace Jiu-Jitsu-trained fighter had other plans. Branch, himself a UFC castoff, played Okami's careful, tactical game seemingly forever.
But, it was just for 4.5 rounds, at which time Branch uncorked a short right hook that caught Okami, as well as those watching, completely by surprise. The Japanese import hit the floor and Branch followed up, landing several unanswered blows that compelled the referee to intervene.
For a complete WSOF 15 results recap, as well as play-by-play coverage of the entire NBC Sports main card, click here and here.

Alzheimer Scotland welcomes the Scottish Government’s publication of a draft Bill for the establishment of a National Care Service in Scotland. Whilst we are still considering the detail of the draft Bill and associated documents, we believe that the fundamental principles set out within the Bill reflect the intention of the recent Independent Review of Adult Social Care in Scotland to deliver positive transformational change to our approach to social care in Scotland.
However, while we recognise that this is a positive step forward, we also stress that our current health and social care system is far too stretched and too many people are in crisis because they are not able to access the help they need, when they need it.
People living with dementia today, and those who care for them, simply do not have the time to wait for three or four years for the improvements that we hope a National Care Service may bring. We already have progressive national dementia policy commitments in Scotland which have been informed by people living with dementia and their carers. However, there is a substantial gap between national commitments and the delivery of those commitments in people's lives where they matter most.
The draft Bill is silent on the inequality of people living with advanced dementia having to pay social care costs for the health and specialist nursing care they need in advanced illness.
The publication of this Bill is not a substitute for immediate action in response to the social care crisis. We need transformative change now, and we need action to deliver on the existing dementia strategy commitments to lay the foundations for the proposed National Care Service.
Alzheimer Scotland will continue to engage in the legislative process of the National Care Service Bill to inform and influence the delivery of a system which best meets the needs of people living with dementia in Scotland. We will also continue to campaign for action now to improve the lives of those living with dementia, or caring for someone with dementia today.
What is the National Care Service (Scotland) Bill?
The Bill allows the Scottish Government to transfer responsibility for social care from local authorities to a new, national service. Scottish Ministers are also able to transfer healthcare functions from the NHS and local health boards to the National Care Service. Care or health services that are transferred to the new service could be delivered nationally or locally. Local services will become the responsibility of new ‘care boards’.
The Bill also includes other changes to care provision including:
- enabling information sharing between the National Care Service and the NHS.
- introducing a right to breaks for carers.
- giving rights to people living in adult care home to see the people important to them (this is sometimes referred to as ‘Anne’s Law’).
Details about the Bill, including the draft of the Bill itself and explanatory notes, are available here.

Was First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos edited into a photo to make it look like she’s dining with Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian?
Some netizens believe that the First Lady was “photoshopped” into a photo posted on her official Facebook page due to certain details.
They say the First Lady had different lighting compared to the three others with her, and she was looking at a different camera to the right.
Marcos also appeared to be out of scale compared to the items around her like the chair she was sitting on, and her left hand appears to be floating on top of the floral centerpiece and the plates.
Digital artists had a field day dissecting the photo.
“This is so silly. Try better photo editors,” one said.
Pakidesaturate siya, masyado siyang matingkad. Yung red at yellow sa skin niya pakimatch sa skin tone ng iba. Babaan ang feather kasi blurred na masyado ang edges kaya nabura na details ng buhok. Sumobra yung burn tool sa shoulders. imatch ang black niya sa black ng environment.

While we are firm believers of reading a book at a time that feels right to the reader and not obsessing about the hot new title that everybody might be gushing over (or not), if the long list of new titles seems overwhelming, here are our picks of the four books coming out in March that we’re most looking forward to.
Indian Cultures As Heritage: Contemporary Pasts, Romila Thapar
One of the India’s most-respected and insightful historians, Romila Thapar is not somebody who minces words. Thapar specialises in ancient history and has spoken (and written) repeatedly about the communal misinterpretation of Indian history to suit majoritarian agendas and the crucial need for public intellectuals in India to be vocal, now more than ever, in the wake of increasing intolerance and the conflation of Hinduism and Hindutva.
In her new book, Thapar presents a historical context to the much touted notion of “Indian culture”. The definition of the concept of culture, Thapar argues, has changed drastically in the last three centuries. She further breaks down the contexts of the multiplicity of cultures that relate them to the past and give them a contemporary significance. Considering Thapar’s inimitable historical rigour and thoughtful contextualisation with pressing current concerns, her new book promises to bring down the facade of Indian culture that is often used to further communal politics and silence dissent of any form. I’m expecting sharp analysis and (the usual) bilious attacks from self-appointed gatekeepers of culture. And while we wait for the book to come out, here is a penetrating speech by the historian on civilisation and cultures.
A Day In The Life, Anjum Hasan
Anjum Hasan made her debut in 2006 with a collection of poetry, Street on the Hill. In the twelve years since then, Hasan has written three well-crafted novels and a collection of short stories. In Lunatic In My Head, three characters try to break away from their destinies living in Shillong, where Hasan was born. Neti Neti, her second novel published in 2009, featured a 25-year-old dreamy newcomer to Bangalore and captured the rapid changes the city was undergoing as well as the experience of the young urban outsider. With her third novel, The Cosmopolitans, Hasan upped the ante, delivering a sophisticated, intellectual novel that experimented with the form through the story of the memorable Qayenaat, who lurks on the fringes of Bengaluru’s art scene.
Her second collection of short stories, A Day In the Life, takes a look at the daily lives of a diverse lineup of characters. The fourteen tales feature the sort of characters Hasan writes best – outliers who don’t quite fit in with their surroundings. These narrow slices of life paint a larger picture of modern-day India while raising questions of identity and motivation thorough empathetically-written, nuanced characters.
Sanjay Dutt: The Crazy Untold Story of Bollywood’s Bad Boy, Yasser Usman
Journalist Yasser Usman has quickly developed into the go-to chronicler of the lives of Bollywood’s most enigmatic or polarising figures. He began with a biography of Rajesh Khanna, shedding light, among other things, on the loneliness of one of tinseltown’s most popular stars. But it was with his unauthorised biography of Rekha, published in 2016, that Usman gave fans of the famously private film star ample reason to scramble for copies. Since Rekha refused to meet the journalist for the book, he used existing material and sources to stitch together an untold composite story a woman who was punished by a misogynistic film fraternity for not playing by its sexist rules.
With his biography of Sanjay Dutt being published in March, Usman is all set to flesh out the story of another member of Bollywood’s cast of characters that elicits endless fascination. Dutt’s story has rightly been described as being stranger than fiction, featuring drugs and alcohol, guns and Mumbai’s underworld, high-profile romances and tragic personal loss.
Dutt, who was let out of jail in 2016 for “good behaviour and conduct”, has been the subject of several works in the past few years, leaving readers to wonder what new information Usman might bring to the telling of his life. But given Usman’s skill at bringing together seemingly disparate strings of narrative and juicy anecdotes, the book is poised to be a racy read about Bollywood’s “bad boy” as its slightly overwrought title trips over itself to promise.
The Snake and the Lotus, Appupen
George Mathen aka Appupen first introduced readers to world of Halahala with his graphic novel Moonward, published in 2009. A commentary on our own world, this dystopian world is born from the mythological churning of the ocean of milk but is taken to wildly imaginative places far removed from its origins.
With two more graphic novels since Moonward, Appupen has only fleshed out this world of his making with each instalment, exploring different themes but retaining his distinctive visual style and experiments with narrative. It a richly layered world that throws up questions of love, obsession, aspiration and sustainability. And if that wasn’t enough, Appupen is also the creator of the spot-on superhero Rashtraman, obsessed with keeping India “safe” from radical ideas and elements.
In his fourth foray into Halahala with The Snake and the Lotus, Appupen treads on familiar territory with a tale about the effect of unchecked human and machine activity on nature, but with a distinct twist. Contrary to his previous “silent comics”, his newest offering allows the narrator a voice, one for which the graphic maestro developed his own typography. This adds a layer of anticipation to the latest work from a graphic novelist who has established himself with his uniquely Indian interpretation of the form.

I can wordspew with the best, but making it organised and formatted, we all know that’s not my forte.

So from now on the book selection will be published as a separate post. After reading we can review , then start a new post for the next book.

A pair of American bombers, escorted by four American stealth fighters and two fighters from South Korea, conducted a flyover of the Korean Peninsula two days after a North Korean missile flew over Japan before landing in the Pacific Ocean.
The nuclear-capable B-1B Lancer bombers flew in from Andersen Air Force Base on Guam, escorted by four F-35B Lightning II stealth fighters from a Marine Corps Air Base in Iwakuni, Japan and two South Korean F-15 Eagle fighters, in a show-of-force designed to “strongly counter North Korea’s repeated ballistic missile tests and development of nuclear weapons,” according to a defense official who spoke to CNN.
The aerial formation conducted a mock bombing drill over the Pilsung Range in the eastern province of Gangwon, in direct response to a recent missile launch by North Korea that passed over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.
“North Korea’s actions are a threat to our allies, partners and homeland, and their destabilizing actions will be met accordingly,” said Gen. Terrence O’Shaughnessy, commander of Pacific Air Forces. “This complex mission clearly demonstrates our solidarity with our allies and underscores the broadening cooperation to defend against this common regional threat.”
“Our forward-deployed force will be the first to the fight, ready to deliver a lethal response at a moment’s notice if our nation calls.”
The state-run Korean Central News Agency said Tuesday’s missile launch over Japan was “a meaningful prelude to containing Guam,” which it called the “advanced base of invasion” for US forces, promising future launches “targeting the Pacific, where the US imperialist aggressor forces’ bases are stationed.”
“It should not be forgotten even a moment that the whole of South Korea can turn into ruins,” the statement continued.
A spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry made a thinly veiled reference to joint American-South Korean military drills, arguing the situation on the Korean Peninsula is “not like a movie script or computer game.”

After Josh Freeman's underwhelming first quarter of the season, the Bucs’ coaching staff spent the team’s Week Five bye trying to figure out what parts of the offense work best for their young QB.
Freeman, coming off a disappointing 2011 season in which he threw 22 interceptions (second-most in the league), has a passer rating of 75.3 — in line with his 74.6 rating last season — through four games.
We hear the Bucs are pleased with how Freeman has fared throwing the deep ball, but they want to give him more opportunities in a moving pocket, which has required some flexibility from offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan, who previously served as the quarterbacks coach for the Giants in a system that was catered to the less mobile Eli Manning.
Freeman appears confident that he will succeed in Sullivan’s system, but the Bucs need him to be more accurate. He has completed only 54.6 percent of his passes and has been intercepted at least once in each of the past three games.
With a new head coach (Greg Schiano), offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach (Ron Turner) working together for the first time, the Bucs are still very much feeling their way through the early stages of the season as they try to help get Freeman on track.

WINDHOEK – Information and Communication Technology Minister Stanley Simataa yesterday moved to counter what he described as a deliberate distortion of what he meant last week in a statement in which he urged the nation to not hurl insults at leaders.
He said political leaders would be first to acknowledge that by accepting the positions they hold, they would be subjected to appraisals of all sorts – including criticism.
Insulting them though, he said, was a violation of their constitutional rights.
Last week Simataa took issue with citizens who insult leaders on social media, saying that government will not shy away from using the provisions of the law to hold the perpetrators of such morally and culturally moribund acts to account.
The minister said he has noted with great concern a deluge of derogatory and insulting messages directed at President Hage Geingob, Cabinet members and the entire government, currently circulating on social platforms.
The minister did not divulge in his statement the identity of those hurling insults.
“Such derogatory and insulting language directed at the Head of State for that matter, Cabinet members and the entire government is not only contrary to the letter and spirit of the constitution but also goes against our cultural values and norms as humans and as Africans,” stated Simataa in a statement issued Thursday.
Yesterday, the Namibia Media Trust (NMT), in response to Simataa, said freedom of speech must be protected at all costs as a fundamental right which is entrenched in the country’s constitutional bill of rights.
“Politicians, in particular elected officials, and others who have placed themselves in the public eye, can and should expect more public scrutiny than the average person would face, and therefore cannot expect to be immune from even the most vigorous criticism and even insult at times,” the Trust’s Executive Chairperson Gwen Lister said.
Simataa responded by saying his statement was misconstrued to mean that leaders may not be scrutinised and criticised.
“We must make a distinction between criticism and insults. Criticism is part of the ecosystem of governance, so we can’t escape it.”
“You can still criticise your president and your ministers as long as it is advanced in a constructive and dignified manner.”
“We know the challenges the country is facing and the desperation among our people. So we understand the criticism. But when insults become lingua franca of everyday communication, we cannot accept it. As leaders we have a responsibility to mold society and this is not the kind of society we want to have.”
Yesterday, former Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL) executive committee member Sioni Iikela wrote a letter to Simataa, castigating the minister for what he deems selective action regarding the alleged insults.
He cited, as an example, alleged insults by Swapo member Chris Paul Haingura, whom Iikela said is a close associate of leaders in the party, that have supposedly gone on perpetually without any action being taken against him.
Accompanying Iikela’s letter to the minister yesterday were screenshots of what Haingura is alleged to have written on social media about former Swapo secretary-general Pendukeni Iivula-Ithana, calling her a gossip-mongering witch.
“Mr. Haingura is always seen with the personalities higher in the leadership echelon of our country. He posted pictures on social media with the President, with the secretary-general of Swapo Party and with many top leaders of Swapo Party and government. Hence, his writing with these kinds of morally and culturally junky status words put the names of the very same leaders your media release seems to protect, into disrepute,” writes Iikela.
Speaking to New Era yesterday, Simataa said his statement condemns all kinds of insults from anyone and not only a section of the perceived transgressors.
“My statement condemns all insults, whether from Chris Paul or someone else. It’s unacceptable to insult anyone – leaders, elders or ordinary citizens. They are all protected under the constitution,” he said.
Haingura yesterday denied that he authored the insults against Iivula-Ithana, saying his account was hacked after his phone was stolen in December 2018.
However, he maintained that he has been a subject of insults himself and has fought back by returning those insults.
“I clap back. You insult me, I insult you back. If you slap me on one cheek, I won’t give you the other cheek to slap on. I’ll slap you back,” he said.
Simataa said that while Article 21 of the constitution guarantees freedom of speech and expression, it should be noted that with this comes the obligation and responsibility for all citizens in exercising their rights, not to impinge on the rights of others.
“Indeed while Article 21 (1) (a) of the constitution states that all persons shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression, which shall include freedom of press and other media…”
“If in the name of freedom of speech, we’re going to mold a society whose first point of communication in insults, I’d rather not live in Namibia – even if it means resting in my grave. I don’t want to be party of any society that’s like that,” Simataa concluded.

Starting in 2007, Cheap Trick made it something of a habit to perform a full-length in-concert cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, celebrating the album's 40th Anniversary and getting them ever closer to their goal of actually being the Beatles. Orchestras were hired, guests invited, a splendid time was had by all, and now in 2009, the December 12, 2007 show is available as either a CD or DVD, mixed by Geoff Emerick himself, the engineer who worked with the Beatles on Pepper. This unabashed, unapologetic fan worship results in a record that sounds pretty much exactly like the original, only with a little more aggression in the rhythms and some funny accents in the vocals, including Joan Osborne sounding like Chrissie Hynde on "Lovely Rita." Everything, including the encore of Abbey Road's album-closing medley, is fun enough, but there's a big difference between seeing this live in concert and listening to it at home where you have the option to spin the Beatles instead.
Sgt. Pepper Live Review

Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has defied his detractors by braving the odds to attend yesterday’s rally organised by the Save Rivers Movement (SRM) in Ogoni land, the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said.
“Against all odds, Governor Amaechi once more proved to be a man of his words by attending the rally against the advice to dissuade him from doing so. By so doing, Governor Amaechi once more proved that he would never abandon his followers but would always be in the forefront of the crusade to defend the rights of Rivers people no matter the degree of danger ahead”, Rivers State APC Interim Chairman, Dr. Davies Ikanya, said in a statement issued on Sunday in Port Harcourt.
Ikanya, who also attended the rally and was moved by the huge attendance by APC faithful and Ogoni people, declared Governor Amaechi as The People’s General and emancipator of the people of Rivers State.
“Contrary to the impression being created by Amaechi’s detractors that he is a promoter of violence, the Ogoni rally went peacefully and successfully without any incidence of violence, thus putting the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and CP Mbu to shame,” Ikanya said.
The Rivers State APC Interim Chairman commended the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, for providing enough security for the rally but condemned the controversial Rivers State Police Commissioner, CP Joseph Mbu, for encouraging the disruption of the previous rally scheduled for last week Sunday by armed hoodlums.
Dr Ikanya wondered how a Governor who has contributed much to the development of Policing in Nigeria should be so disparaged, maligned and facing the type of persecution Gov Amaechi is currently going through in the State.
He recalled that Gov Amaechi purchased and donated over 7 Armored Personnel Cars (APC), bought over 200 patrol Vehicles for the Police, pay allowances to the Police, trained most of them and employed the wives of those that died in the cause of the struggle to free Rivers State from militancy.
Ikanya commended all members of the National Assembly particularly Hon. Chief Andrew Uchendu who reaffirmed that all the 37 members of the House of Representatives that have dumped PDP for APC will never go back to the sinking ship of PDP.
He congratulated Hon. Chief Dakuku Peterside Chairman, Downstream Petroleum Committee of the House of Representatives, Deputy Speaker Rt. Hon. Leyii Kwanee and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, SSG George Feyi and all the State Executive Council members, Chief Tony Okocha the Chief of Staff to Governor Amaechi, Leadership of APC, SRM, Journalists and all the Ogonis that braved all odds to attend the rally.
He predicted a rosy future for APC in Rivers, saying that “the enthusiastic way the people have embraced the party is an unmistakable signal to PDP that it has been vehemently rejected by Rivers people”.

The continuously signposted section of the "Iron Curtain Trail", which leads through the Waldviertel/South Bohemia and the Weinviertel/South Moravia, is 329 kilometres long and divided into nine individually navigable stages. From there we continue along the March-Thaya floodplains on the Slovakian border to Bratislava.
It is worthwhile to put on your tour leisurely. First of all, there are many interesting things to see on the way and secondly, one should plan enough time for culinary breaks.
The cycle tour along the Austrian-Czech section of the "Iron Curtain Trail" begins in Gmünd in the northern Waldviertel and ends in Hohenau an der March. For riding on gravel and forest paths as well as on asphalt, a trekking bike or e-bike is the best choice, 2,061 metres uphill and 2,429 metres downhill. Along the way, boards tell interesting facts and stories from days gone by, from the legendary robber captain Grasl to events during the fall of the Berlin Wall 30 years ago.

Bihar has been growing maize for quite some time but productivity has risen of late. What’s the reason?
I think the first reason is seed. With single-cross hybrids and new varieties there has been a dramatic change in yield. Earlier maize was not profitable. Obviously seed cannot be the only reason but it is the single most important.
Better crop management, irrigation, fertilizer and timely sowing has made a difference. Timely sowing is so important in maize. If I plant sixty or hundred acres of maize, there is a visual difference in the first thirty or forty acres.
Bihar is lagging on most indicators of progress. But in maize it has done amazingly well in productivity even though most farmers have at best rudimentary education.
Actually for farmers to adopt better technologies they do not need to be learned. It is all what the eye sees. If they see their neighbour getting better results, they will ask him which seed did you get, from where, and they will go get the seed and do exactly the same thing.
Let us say, in my village I adopt a new technology. Everybody will watch when I harvest. It has to be seen visually. No calculations and sums and arithmetic, no, it has to be seen visually. If I make an impact they will adopt the most intricate of technologies.
Your yields are very high. How do you manage that?
Right from when I plant my seeds I pay attention to detail. I spread the seeds on a piece of gunny cloth and make sure labourers pick out the broken seeds. Two hundred broken seeds in a packet does not make a difference to the company and legally too it does not make a difference. But for a farmer sowing on half an acre, two hundred plants mean two hundred cobs. Sorting the seeds does not cost anything but makes a big difference.
I also tell farmers to not spread their towels at the edge of the fields and take a nap while labourers are planting seed. They have to be behind them to ensure that the soil is mixed well before the seed is placed as soil at the top is dry, that there is a proper opening, the seed is sown at the right depth and the hole is patted closed firmly.
It just needs a bit of monitoring. You see the difference at the time of germination.
Another very important thing is seat treatment. Mice, rats and pigs are attracted to the odour of corn (maize) seeds fermenting. They will avoid them if treated with poison. Treating one acre of maize seed does not even cost ten rupees.
Fourth aspect is timing of irrigation. The thumb rule is first at 45 days when the plant is one-and-a- half foot tall. The second when the last leaves are coming out, so all the nitrogen goes to the cob and not to the plant. The third split doze at the time of tasseling. Everybody gives three irrigations but are they doing it at the right time?
You will be surprised that yields can increase by five to seven quintals an acre. That is huge.
Now come to the seed. In my village and fifty or hundred villages around, no one uses old seed or seeds saved from the last season. You ask any farmer…you will hear them grumbling about the price of diesel, the price of fertilizer, the price of labour but frankly have you heard anyone say that seeds have become expensive. No, the farmer correlates his produce directly to the seed.
Moving on to another topic, earlier while chatting you said foreign direct investment in retailing may not benefit all farmers, but it will certainly help you.
I have the benefit of insight. I was invited by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to visit America for twenty days and study horticulture and cold chain management. I got the opportunity to become a Cochran fellow, that the USDA gives in the name of a senator and you have to do a diploma course in California University and I had done that. The topic was marketing and augmented cold chain systems. They showed us right from start to the finish how when a farmer harvests his peach or orange or apples it never leaves the cold chain. Even at the farmers place they all have mini cold storages. The produce is transported in cold vans or refrigerated vans, they go to the retail place and there it is refrigerated too. But it is huge investment. And I do not see that anywhere in India. (See missing cold chain story on this site)
I remember sending litchis to Dubai. I put them in an AC vehicle. But for three-four hours at Kolkata airport they were lying in the heat. So my belief is what Suzuki did to the automobile industry, FDI in retailing can do for back-end cold chain systems which the farmer needs to sell his produce. I do not see any government programmes for that. If I want to send a consignment of litchis from Nayanagar all the way to Delhi there is no reefer van. Okay, farmers in general may not benefit from FDI in retailing, but all those farmers who are making quality produce they are going to benefit, their profits are going to increase, and as soon as their profit increases it will have a trickle-down effect right to the poorest farmer. We need this revolution. My feeling is that FDI in retailing is going to be a boon for farmers. I strongly believe that.
