Older adults who eat a serving of seafood a week may be protecting their brains from damage seen in dementia
The benefit of eating fish could be greatest for those who have APOE-4, a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's
Higher levels of mercury in the brains of seafood consumers were not linked to greater brain damage
Eating at least one serving of seafood a week could help stave off Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study.
A strong case has been building for the role that omega-3 fatty acids found in fish could play in protecting against Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. But questions remained about whether these benefits could be canceled out by the mercury in fish, which at high enough levels can be toxic to the brain. The new study suggests that is not the case.
Researchers delved into the complicated relationship between seafood, fatty acids, mercury and dementia among older adults living in the Chicago area. They surveyed the group about their diet every year starting in 1997, and in a subset of 286 participants who died between 2004 and 2013, they performed brain autopsies to look at the levels of mercury and whether there was neurological damage indicative of dementia.
There was indeed more mercury in the brains of participants who reported eating more seafood, but it did not appear to have any effect on whether there was neurological damage. Instead, participants who reported eating seafood at least once a week were less likely to have hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease, including amyloid plaques, in their brain.
“The findings were very striking,” said Martha Clare Morris, director of nutrition and nutritional epidemiology at Rush University Medical Center.
“Our hypothesis was that seafood consumption would be associated with less neuropathology, but that if there were higher levels of mercury in the brain, that would work against that. But we didn’t find that at all,” said Morris, who is lead author of the study, which was published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The catch, however, is that the researchers only observed the benefit among participants who had a strong genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s. These participants carried a version of the APOE gene called APOE-4, which is associated with higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
The researchers ranked the amount of neurological damage they observed on a scale of 1 to 4, from no damage to highest level of damage. Among those who had the APOE-4 gene variant, they saw about half a point less in those who ate at least one serving of seafood a week, compared with less than one serving a week.
It is possible that people who do not harbor APOE-4 could still gain some smaller amount of protection from Alzheimer’s from seafood, but the current study was not big enough to detect it, Morris said.
“One theory is that seafood consumption may be more beneficial in older age because, as we age, we lose DHA in the brain,” a molecule that is important to maintain brain health, Morris said. DHA is one of the main fatty acids that can be obtained from fish. People with APOE-4 are thought to lose even more DHA in the brain, so seafood consumption could be even more beneficial to them, Morris added.
The benefit of fatty acid may not be limited to just Alzheimer’s. The researchers found that participants who reported eating a diet rich in a type of fatty acid called alpha-linolenic acid, which is found in vegetable oils, nuts and soy, had less damage in their brain that is characteristic of vascular dementia. Vascular dementia, which is less common than Alzheimer’s, occurs when blood vessels become blocked and cut off oxygen to the brain.
“The evidence is quite clear that people who consume healthier forms of fish [which are baked or broiled rather than fried] are going to end up with healthier brains,” said James T. Becker, professor of psychiatry and associate director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at the University of Pittsburgh, who was not involved in the current study.
As for whether mercury increases the risk of dementia, “I personally don’t think there’s evidence for it. I think these heavy metals are going to do other things first,” such as causing nerve pain, itching or burning, Becker said.
This study could not rule on whether people who regularly select seafood that tends to be higher in mercury, such as tuna and swordfish, have problems associated with the higher mercury exposure. The researchers did not drill down to find out all the types of fish participants ate.
Morris pointed out that the types of seafood most commonly consumed by Americans – shrimp, salmon, tilapia – are low in mercury. The one exception is canned tuna, which can be high in mercury.
The current study found the benefit of eating seafood for brain health maxes out at one serving per week. More than that did not bestow participants with any additional protection from the types of brain damage associated with dementia.
This suggests that you might not have to meet the 8 ounces of seafood, about two servings, a week that the U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommends to reap the brain health benefits. “Three ounces could give you that protection,” Morris said.
It is still possible that certain kinds of seafood consumption could have a dark side in terms of brain health. “Our findings can’t be generalized to people who are really high consumers of seafood,” Morris said. In the Midwest population in the study, very few ate seafood every day.
The current study did not address whether participants whose brains had endured less damage also exhibited fewer symptoms of dementia when they were alive. However another study will be coming out soon that looks at the relationship between seafood consumption and cognitive decline in this group of older adults, Morris said.

Preparing for Fishing Season, Part 1 - Tackle
At this very moment in British Columbia, some people are worried about Japanese radiation, others are worried about earthquakes, and Vancouver cyclists are worried about getting nailed by cars. Me, I'm just worried that my tackle order won't be in for the start of the fishing season. However, in the meantime, I can make sure the stuff I've got will be ready to go for opening day.Whether you're a beginner, a weekend angler, or a total die-hard, having your tackle prepared ahead of time is going to (1) make things easier once you're on the water, (2) help save time by allowing you to find exactly what you're looking for, and (3) save you money by keeping your baits in optimum condition.Here's a few things to consider when you're sitting in your garage/shed/man-cave preparing your tackle and pining for the start of fishing season:1. Get the Rust Out.
It seems no matter how hard I try to keep my baits dry over the winter, moisture always seems to find it's way in and rust up my baits. So the first thing I do when I'm getting my tackle prepared for the coming season is to empty all my lures out of the trays into plastic bags and clean the rust stains out of the trays. The next thing I do is take a bucket full of CLR (available at Canadian Tire) and mix it with water and soak my rusty lures in it. After the soak, scrub the lure with a wire brush to get the rest of that rust off. This stuff works amazing at getting the rust off and has rejuvenated lures that appeared to be more rust than metal.CLR loosens up the rust on well-worn lures.
Some other key tools to have for this lengthy process include old toothbrushes, SOS pads, a sink basin, and assorted rags or paper towels.Not only does it clear off the rust, but it also makes your lures shiny and more noticeable for the right crowd.2. Organization (specifically for tackle nuts)
If you're already using the tray system for keeping your baits organized skip this part, but if you're still using a tackle box consider the following. (1) By switching to trays you can keep similar types of baits together to make it easy to pick out a specific one. (2) By having a variety of trays to choose from, you can pick and choose which ones you pick each time you go fishing. (3) Trays are huge for saving space. You can cram a ton of baits into a small area, and bring as many options as possible each time you go fishing.The Plano 3700 series is the standard for tackle trays, to take a further look check out the Plano Website
. Here's some extra tips for organizing your stuff: (1) Put a label on the end of each tray (e.g. crankbaits) so it's easy to identify which is which when you're searching. (2) Use trays where the compartments match the baits inside (e.g. long compartments for crankbaits and topwaters, smaller ones for jigs and jig trailers). (3) For baits in danger of rusting, use waterproof trays such as the Berkley Gulp! trays found here. These trays also work magically for keeping especially smelly, or scented lures contained, as once those seals are closed, they're locked (seriously, my Gulp! baits didn't even dry out during the off-season).Finally, you'll want to make sure you have a few extra trays for day-to-day fishing. There are going to be situations where you can only bring a few trays (like fishing in your buddys' boat), so it's good to have a few trays where you can keep the baits you feel are going to work the best on that given day. This also works well for tournament fishing, as having one tray with all the baits you expect to use can save you time searching through your tackle for the hot bait.3. Storage
If you haven't quite made it to tackle nut yet, count your blessings, and be glad that you can fit all your tackle in a bag or box every time you go fishing.However, if you're a die-hard tackle nut, storing baits becomes a science, a tetris-like game of cramming as much stuff into as small of an area as possible. Make sure to store trays label side up to make identification easy, and definitely make sure you're storing in a waterproof container.If you're like me, you like to keep your baits/lures in their packages as long as possible, however, this also requires using more space then with trays. The best system I've found is to use a shoe drawer for my bait packages, and then putting them into a reasonable order (e.g. by colour, or bait type).Got bagged baits? Pick up a shoe tray!
Once again, keep your gear in order and it will make your time on the water that much simpler, and help you make the most of your tournament, derby, or even fish-off against your buddies.Stay tuned for Part 2 - Reels and Line, for more tips on getting ready for the season.

CASSELBERRY, Fla. - If you need a car wash, you're hungry for a sub, or you need to get your guitar tuned, you can go to the Periwinkle Plaza in Fern Park.
However that's all the plaza has to offer-- a dozen stores there are vacant.
Jon Alcorn is the assistant manager at Bill's Car Wash and Detailing Center and he says something needs to be done to bring new businesses to U.S. Highway 17-92.
"When you propose that you're going to try and build things back up and now you're putting it on hold, it's like false hope," he said.
Alcorn says businesses have been fleeing this section of 17-92 ever since the a flyover was proposed.
The county is now considering giving some business owners money to put toward rent if they move into the empty storefronts along 17-92, but on Monday, the commissioners decided to put that program on hold.
"I just don't want to take tax dollars to subsidize the one who wants to start up, and not be able to help the one who is already there and has been paying taxes and struggling," said Commissioner Carlton D. Henley.
Commissioners say they want more data, like vacancy rates in the area, before moving forward with the program, which would give eligible business owners up to $400 a month to help reduce vacancy rates.
"The more there's no business here, the harder it is --there's no foot traffic- it's hard to keep in business," Cherry Schnack, owner of Gerry's Sandwich Factory.
A county spokesperson tells Local 6 commissioners will most likely discuss the program again some time in September.

Affordable & Low-Cost Rehab Centers
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that over 20 million Americans are burdened with issues associated with a substance use disorder or some other type of addictive behavior. Only a very small proportion actually get treatment, and nearly two-fifths of all these individuals are unable to afford treatment. While insurance and other means can offset the cost of care for many, there are also available programs that are essentially free or very inexpensive. Read on to find out about the options for affordable substance abuse treatment and how to find low-cost rehab centers.
Free Alcohol Treatment Resources
There are various low-cost or free treatment and support options for those struggling with alcohol abuse.
Alcoholics Anonymous has a long history of helping individuals with alcohol use disorders. While it is not actual alcohol use disorder treatment, it offers a structured program of recovery and excellent peer support. The downside to AA is that there is no objective method of making the person accountable (no abstinence requirements or methods to check abstinence), and the program is not run by professional mental health providers so it may not address all issues that need to be addressed. However, the program has been in operation for many decades, and its members are very supportive and swear by its principles.The program is essentially free, as AA meetings are funded by donations. Most members donate $1 per meeting, but there is no requirement to do so. Meetings are very accessible, occurring around the clock, and one can find a meeting in nearly any major urban area in the country. Learn more about how Alcoholics Anonymous can help those in recovery.
Peer Support Groups
There are other low-cost or free peer support groups. Some of these organizations may ask for donations, but they are willing to work with prospective members. These include:
The Salvation Army
The Salvation Army rehabilitation programs for adults have been in existence for over a century. These centers offer residential housing and therapy (both group and individual therapy), and help individuals to find employment. The downside to the program is that it is heavily spiritually based (even more heavily spiritually based than AA), but it is essentially free. The program is funded through donations.
Local & State-Funded Rehab Programs
There may be local and state-funded rehab programs that offer free treatment for alcohol use disorders. For example, local community mental health centers may offer free group meetings or significantly reduced prices for individual therapy.
There are other options an individual can use to find local programs that are affordable.
- Contact local rehab facilities in the area that offer the type of program you need and speak with the facility about the cost of treatment and any potential financing options. Ask if there is financial assistance available for individuals who have special financial needs.
- If you have insurance, contact a customer service representative to find out exactly how much addiction treatment may be covered by your plan. Treatment facilities often have representatives who will help you with this process as well.
- If needed, borrow funds from family members, friends, or a funding institution. Many treatment facilities offer financing plans or can help clients get financing to fund their treatment costs.
How to Pay for Rehab With No Insurance
In a perfect world, anybody who needed any form of medical intervention would get it without financial barriers. People who do not have insurance or cannot afford to pay for the intervention they need for their alcohol use disorder are not out of options for affordable rehab centers.
- Rehabilitation scholarships: In some cases, treatment centers offer scholarships or reduced tuition to those in need. In other cases, local groups may fund these scholarships.
- Second Chance: Second Chance may be able to help people finance rehab, find a free rehab program, or find scholarships.
- Special programs: Facilities that have empty beds in their inpatient rehab organization may be willing to trade a scholarship for certain types of volunteer work.
Can I Use Medicaid & Medicare for Rehab?
Some individuals can get free or low-cost insurance coverage if they meet certain specifications. Medicare is a federal government program that provides healthcare coverage for those over the age of 65 or with certain disabilities. It is available for individuals regardless of their level of income, but does charge discounted premiums. Medicaid is a state and federal program that provides coverage for individuals who have low levels of income. Both of these programs offer extensive coverage for recovery from an alcohol use disorder or other substance use order. The income qualifications to receive Medicaid coverage vary from state to state; one can visit the Medicaid website to determine if they qualify for Medicaid and can even use the website to sign up for Medicaid coverage.
At the time of this writing, the stipulations of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) guarantee that individuals can get some form of coverage and cannot be turned down for pre-existing conditions. Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted by all treatment providers, but one can find a treatment provider in their area that will accept these forms of insurance. In addition, individuals with low incomes can apply for Medicaid, and many institutions that take Medicaid will accept these individuals into the program while the application process is still being completed. One can go to these websites and determine if they qualify to receive these benefits and then can contact local treatment providers to find out if they accept these forms of insurance.
Some individuals may be eligible to get both Medicare and Medicaid. Therefore, if one has a disability, is over the age of 65, or has other qualifying conditions that may allow them to get Medicare, they should attempt to apply for both Medicare and Medicaid.
If you’ve recently lost your job and are in need of health insurance, you may be eligible for COBRA Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) which provides employees and their families the chance to stay on their former employer’s insurance for a limited time. To qualify for COBRA, individuals must meet certain criteria to enroll in the program including having insurance that is covered by COBRA, undergoing a qualifying event (e.g. job loss) and be a qualified beneficiary.
After a separation, your employer will inform you of your eligibility to maintain your insurance through COBRA and you’ll have 60 days to decide if you’d like to participate. However, your insurance will cost more than you previously paid as you’ll now be paying for the total premium instead of sharing the cost with your employer plus a 2% administrative fee.
If you decide to continue with COBRA, your coverage won’t change unless your employer changes or ends the employee benefits program. This will also include any mental health or substance abuse treatment coverage. You will be able to receive continued insurance benefits from a previous employer between 18 to 36 months with COBRA.
Thankfully, once enrolled, if you are seeking rehab for addiction, you will still be able to utilize your benefits to get treatment. You’ll need simply fill out a COBRA election form first and pay your premium and you can get started on your path toward recovery.

‘It’s been phenomenal’: Josh Cavallo says he’s ‘buzzing’ after reaction to coming out from football world
Australian footballer Josh Cavallo says the reaction to his announcement that he’s gay has been “phenomenal”.
The 21-year-old Adelaide United player shared an emotional video on Wednesday where he revealed his sexuality and said he was was done with feeling ashamed.
He’s the only current professional footballer in the world to come out as gay.
“I’ve had positive responses from football club messaging me – Liverpool, Manchester United, the Premier League messaged me, FIFA messaged me congratulating me, so it’s been phenomenal,” he told Mark Gibson on 6PR Breakfast.
“My sports stars I used to see on TV – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marcus Rashford, Pique from Barcelona and Griezmann – it’s just been amazing support.
“They all reached out and said they’re proud of me, and it just gives me a real buzz on the inside, and I just hope that people don’t have to hide themselves anymore, and do what I did because it was very dark and painful.”

Readers, we have a very special post for you this week from our friend and colleague, Jane Heenan. We're working closely with Jane and others in the LGBT community to fight for more protections for transgender people in Nevada. The surest way to be successful? Public education. Read on, and share these insights with everyone you know.
During the debate about antidiscrimination laws at the 2009 session, much ado was made about the question of which bathrooms transgender people use, and it was apparent that there is a lot of fear about “deviants” in the bathrooms. Many statistics support the lack of danger, but I thought it would be helpful to explain my own experience in using public bathrooms along the way as I transitioned from living in the social role of a man to living as a woman to clear up some of the misconceptions.
My experience was, I believe, rather typical and in the end my fears about this were much ado about nothing. Still, there were experiences that I felt harmed me, particularly those that involved law enforcement and security. I understand these experiences much more clearly now, and it is my firm belief that no one should be made to endure such struggles.
As I started my transition in the mid-1990s, I felt it was important for me to overcome my fears of getting into or causing trouble for using the bathroom. I needed to be successful in this part of my journey, in part because I had no choice – using a public bathroom is inevitable – and in part because there was something like an affirmation available to me in a public bathroom: if I could successfully use a “women’s bathroom” I could more confidently move through the world in the social role of a woman. In the beginning, there were many times I chose not to use the public bathroom because I was fearful of the possible consequences. These were times when I would be in a more crowded venue – I felt less fear when there were fewer persons around. And, so, I experimented with using the women’s bathroom in these less-crowded circumstances and mostly tried just to go in and come out as quickly as I could. I didn’t want contact because I believed this would create a greater chance for problems. Of course, I found after awhile that nothing really bad happened; no one stared at me or called me names, and as my comfort level grew, I felt less restricted in using the bathroom when I felt the need to do so regardless of how many persons were around. This was helpful in many ways for me.
The times that I found trouble were not a result of the reactions of others who were, like me, just going about their business in a public venue. My trouble with using public bathrooms was always a result of the intervention of law enforcement or private security professionals such as those found in casinos. Among other experiences, I had a police officer confront me in a crowded airport after I had come out of the women’s bathroom, asking me for identification, taking down my information in a note pad, and telling me that he was putting me on a “list of known transvestites.” He further told me that if I was ever caught by a police officer using a women’s bathroom again that I would be arrested. I was terrified by this experience and believed what he told me for some time. I also felt like I couldn’t talk to anyone about this – who would take my side against such a figure of authority? Further, it reinforced for me the belief that police officers are mostly engaged in harassing persons; I was only using the bathroom, and there was no legitimate reason for me to be treated in the way that I was.
Another experience came when I was at a casino on a weekday afternoon. I sat at a video poker machine for a short while and then got up to use the bathroom. When I came out, casino security asked me to accompany them to their offices inside the casino. Frightened and confused and not knowing what to do, I went with them. There were several security officers present as I was made to surrender my driver license (which they then photo-copied) and questioned over the next 20 minutes about what I was doing there and why I was wearing the clothes that I was wearing. I was humiliated and scared about what might happen. I didn’t know how to answer their questions – I was just trying to make honest changes in my life. Finally, I was escorted by two officers all the way to my car in the parking lot and was told that if I ever returned to this casino that I would be arrested. They watched me as I drove away, shaking and terrified that somehow something further would happen.
Of course, what happened was that I continued to empower myself and to work toward ending such unnecessary and harmful harassment. I would never put up with such treatment at this point in my journey. And I continue to believe that there is nothing wrong with persons engaging in a process of gender transition or experimentation using the public bathroom that corresponds most closely with their presentation and who they see themselves to be. The fear about bathrooms comes down to stereotyping: “those” kinds of persons are so different that they must be wanting to commit depraved acts such as sexually harming a young person in a bathroom. There was a time when the bathrooms in Nevada were segregated by skin color and those who supported such laws made similar arguments about how “those” people would attack white children. Transgender persons are just that: persons. We are a diverse group, although the vast majority of us only want to pee in peace when we are in a public setting. We fear you much more than you fear us, and our fears are much more legitimate especially since “the law” is against us. We need your support in ending or at least minimizing such fears – as lawmakers you are in a powerful position to support reconciliation and help put an end to harmful stereotypes.

Don’t you just hate when Las Vegas is featured on those “worst in the country” lists? Well, brace yourselves, because one local agency recently received a similar type of “honor” for its blatant disregard of the First Amendment.
On April 13, the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression, a nonprofit organization with ties to the prestigious University of Virginia, included the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on its annual list of “Muzzle Award” recipients. Given out every year to individuals and government agencies who censor speech in ways both upsetting and ridiculous, the Muzzles are like the public policy equivalent of acting’s most famous non-award, the Razzies.
So why, exactly, does Metro merit this recognition? It’s all about Elvis, naturally.
The ACLU of Nevada’s ongoing fight to let musicians, Elvis impersonators, and other street performers exercise their First Amendment rights on the Las Vegas Strip caught the attention of the Thomas Jefferson Center, who were as shocked as the rest of us that local law enforcement would consistently harass performers on what has been clearly established as a public sidewalk.
Negotiations in the case are ongoing, and we hope that Metro will ultimately recognize and protect the First Amendment on the Strip. In the meantime, the Muzzle Awards, which received mention in publications as large as the Washington Post, are a sad reminder that sometimes what happens in Vegas…is regarded with grim bemusement by everyone else.
As one of the few ACLU affiliates to affirmatively support the Second Amendment, all of us at the ACLU of Nevada have respect for responsible gun owners, and we often work with gun rights advocates on issues of common concern.
Just the other week, our good friend Robert Johnson from Gun Owners of Nevada invited us to try our hand at shooting. Staff Attorney Maggie McLetchie and I made the trip out to Boulder City and, I’ll be honest, as two people who had never used a gun before, we didn’t know what to expect. I was hoping that I’d at least hit the target!
After a comprehensive lesson on firearm types and safety protocols, we were each set up with a .22 caliber gun. Maggie was up first:
Her first shot was nearly dead center! The guns we used were relatively quiet and did not kick back into your shoulder as we expected they would. After Maggie’s round was done, it was my turn. I was nervous, but I tried to focus on the target and remember Robert’s tips about breathing and properly holding the gun.
Success! My shots were quite close together for a beginner, and as the lesson progressed I became more comfortable holding the gun and reloading the ammunition. For both of us, apprehension quickly turned into excitement about learning a new skill.
We hope to go out again soon with Robert to practice some more and further improve our marksmanship. Given that summer is fast approaching and it gets pretty darn hot out in the desert, I suspect it will need to be an early-morning excursion.
As someone who had never touched a gun before this experience, I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with them under the tutelage of an experienced teacher. As Americans we have the right to bear arms, but we also have a duty to exercise that right responsibly.
The best part? Maggie and I have found a new hobby!

Hello Readers! We've got a LOT going on this week, including our work on the Personhood ballot initiative case. Check out our Facebook page (the link is on the right side of this page) for the latest updates--and become a fan if you haven't already!).
In the meantime, a variation on last week's theme: the rights of immigrants. Our own Rebecca Gasca has some thoughts on comprehensive immigration reform from an ACLU perspective. In 3...2...1...
Most Americans would agree that our immigration system is in tatters. Here at the ACLU of Nevada, we support responsible and comprehensive reforms to U.S. immigration policy that protects the civil liberties of everyone- regardless of their immigration status.
Last year, Congressman Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL) introduced legislation that proposed many meaningful reforms to the immigration system. However, it fell short from our perspective in two ways: it did not extend the same protections to lesbian and gay couples as their heterosexual counterparts, and it required the implementation of a privacy-invading electronic employment verification system (that even the US Government admits is flawed) for all workers (not just immigrants).
More recently, Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) announced their own framework for comprehensive immigration reform (CIR), which includes, among other things, mandatory biometric Social Security cards for all Americans.
The ACLU, however, views both biometric Social Security cards and electronic employment verification systems as attacks on our constitutionally-protected right to privacy. Both would essentially require every worker, including US citizens, to obtain a “permission slip” from the federal government in order to work. They are costly, invasive, and are thinly veiled disguises of systems that lay the groundwork for a comprehensive national identification card.
We have also long opposed mandatory electronic verification systems for privacy reasons and for their adverse impact the error-filled records in government databases would have on all workers. On these grounds during our 2009 legislative session, the ACLU of Nevada submitted written testimony and testified against Assembly Bill 431, which would have required some employers to verify the immigration status of workers before hiring them.
As civil libertarians, we believe that a comprehensive solution does for this problem does exist- but it can’t come at the price of cherished fundamental liberties and privacy protections.
Rebecca Gasca is the Public Advocate for the ACLU of Nevada
It’s a great day for civil rights! In a 7-2 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court just declared that criminal attorneys MUST advise their non-citizen clients about the immigration consequences of a guilty plea. In a society that is supposed to require effective legal counsel for those accused of crimes, this just makes sense. Here’s some expert analysis from ACLU of Nevada board member and local immigration attorney, Peter Ashman:
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Padilla v. Kentucky that criminal defense lawyers must advise their noncitizen clients about the risk of deportation if they accept a guilty plea. The Court recognized that current immigration laws impose harsh and mandatory deportation consequences onto criminal convictions, and that Congress eliminated from these laws the Attorney General's discretionary authority to cancel removal in meritorious cases. The Court said, "These changes to our immigration law have dramatically raised the stakes of a noncitizen's criminal conviction. The importance of accurate legal advice for noncitizens accused of crimes has never been more important."
This case involved a Vietnam War veteran who has resided lawfully in the U.S. for over 40 years. His criminal defense lawyer told him not to worry about the immigration consequences of pleading guilty to a crime because of the length of time Padilla had resided in the U.S., but that advice was wrong. In fact, the guilty plea made Mr. Padilla subject to mandatory deportation from the United States. The state of Kentucky said that Mr. Padilla had no right to withdraw his plea when he learned of the deportation consequence. Today's decision reverses the Kentucky court. It also rejected the federal government's position (which had been adopted by several courts) that a noncitizen is protected only from "affirmative misadvice" and not from a lawyer's failure to provide any advice about the immigration consequences of a plea. Nevada has long ago adopted the "collateral consequence" position advanced unsuccessfully by the State of Kentucky. (Barajas v. State, 115 Nev. 440, 991 P.2d 474 (1999)
The right to counsel is at the very core of our criminal justice system. The Court affirms that immigrants have the right to challenge plea agreements when they rely on incorrect advice from their lawyers or where counsel fails to provide any immigration advice at all, if they can also show prejudice. Today's decision also reminds us that ultimately, the increased criminalization of immigration law and lack of flexibility has resulted in harsh results. Congress should do its part to restore immigration judges' discretion to consider the particular circumstances in a person's case, thus affording each person facing deportation an individualized and fair opportunity to be heard.
If you are an attorney and want to learn more about what this means for you, please check the ACLU of Nevada website for information about possible trainings. For more info about our organization’s work on immigrants’ rights, visit http://www.aclu.org/immigrants-rights/.

- A child playing Skycurser
“We are developing in a market that not a lot of other game developers are developing, so it should be a little easier to stand out in that regard,” explains Brad Smith, a software engineer for Oracle and the game’s technical director. “But it’s about more than that for us. We’re trying to help usher in a second wave of arcade development. It’s about the one-to-one user connection that you get when you’re in an arcade that is really hard to get online or on a smartphone.”
Back in December of 2013, Phil Golobish, the game’s producer, asked for a Raspberry Pi for Christmas, a tech device geared toward children that teaches computing and programing. He began programing a children’s game on the device that ended up being the foundation for Skycurser.
- A screen
Chris is the art director, so he is responsible for the visual style, sound effects, and music. Once he joined, the game quickly evolved from a silly reindeer-hunting game into Skycurser: a lone pilot battling humans, animals, and machines infected by a plague-like disease. The three of them are the only people who have worked on the game itself, and they’re really only one of a few other people creating new arcade games today.
With approximately 500 games released on iOS every day and thousands more available online and on consoles, it can be hard to get a new game noticed. There are only a handful of other new arcade games being developed which makes it much easier to stand out to video game publishers.
“It’s already gotten us some cool attention,” says Chris. “So there’s the three big game publishers out there: Nintendo, Microsoft, and SONY. We’ve already talked to two of the three of them.”
I ask if they can tell me which ones, and Chris hesitates.
“I don’t know . . . since it wasn’t really,” he begins before Phil chimes in…
“Fuck it! It was Microsoft and SONY!” They all laugh, clearly pleased with the unexpected success of Skycurser.
The game currently has two levels, but they’ve already sold a few prototypes to arcades in Utah and Chicago. They’re hoping Hoosiers will be able to play the game at Tapper’s Arcade Bar on Virginia Avenue when it opens. Although it has taken nearly two years to develop two levels, much of that time was spent building the core of the game, and they expect to have all six levels completed and the game up for sale in the spring of 2016.
The three are also building a piece of hardware that will make it easier for independent developers to make arcade games called Airframe. It has the core programming skeleton for an arcade game allowing other developers to easily build new games on top of it. Why nearly give away the single most time-consuming part of the game development process?
“Because we love arcade games,” explains Chris. “And we recognize that they’re kind of blowing up again. It’s going to get to a point where people are probably going to want more content, and if we have this super simple thing that’s really cheap and that people can make new games for, hopefully, it will kind of usher in a small second wave of new arcade games.”
They are also are constantly looking for people interested in designing arcade games to connect with and help build design teams. Right now, the Skycurser core only gets to work on the game in their spare time. But as the project scope and success of Skycurser continues to build it looks like this could become more than a hobby for these arcade game lovers.
“Let’s put Indianapolis on the map for being a hotbed of arcade game development,” says Phil.

Toto IV is the fourth studio album by American rock band Toto released in the spring of 1982 by Columbia Records.
The lead single, “Rosanna”, peaked at number 2 for five weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, while the album’s third single, “Africa”, topping the Hot 100 chart, became the group’s first and only number 1 hit. Both songs were hits in the UK as well, reaching number 12 and 3, respectively. The fourth single, “I Won’t Hold You Back”, also peaked within the top ten on the Hot 100, at number 10, but atop the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts for three weeks. It also went into the top 40 in the UK. With the success of “Africa”, the album climbed back into the top 10 in early 1983 on both sides of the Atlantic.
Toto IV received six Grammy Awards in 1983 including Album of the Year, Producer of the Year for the band, and Record of the Year for “Rosanna”. It reached number four on the Billboard 200 album charts in the United States, shortly after its release. It also reached the top ten in other countries, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, and Japan. It was also the last Toto album to feature their original bassist David Hungate until his return in 2014 (with the release of their 2015 album Toto XIV) when he was replaced by Mike Porcaro after the band’s recording of the album, and also the final album to feature original lead vocalist Bobby Kimball until his comeback in 1998 (with the release of the 1999 album Mindfields).

Labrador, Northern Peninsula digging out from 3-day storm
Some schools in central, western Newfoundland closed for morning due to snow, drizzle
A blizzard warning remains in effect early Monday morning, as people in southern Labrador and Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula dig out after a weekend of stormy weather.
Photos shared on social media show snow levels up above front doors of houses.
In St. Lewis, Labrador, one person said the snow near the harbour even reached the top eaves of someone's home.
As of early Monday, the Transportation and Works website says it's still too stormy to operate snowclearing equipment around Red Bay, Lodge Bay, St. Lewis and Cartwright areas.
Blowing snow conditions can be expected to continue Monday morning, with gusts up to 80 km/h creating zero visibility conditions.
Now this is a snow drift. My dad took this photo from our kitchen window this am after the 4 day storm. Yes, that's the ROAD. #nlwx #griquet pic.twitter.com/LSO3O4hcua—@hillier_c
Those windy conditions are expected to dial back by afternoon, but Environment Canada warns travel may be difficult until then.
- Central Newfoundland closures, cancellation in our Storm Centre
- Western Newfoundland closures and cancellations in our Storm Centre
Meanwhile, in central and western Newfoundland, a number of schools are closed for the morning due to weather conditions.
The highway traffic website lists snow squalls and poor driving conditions in Bay St. George, St. Anthony, Deer Lake, Gros Morne and Plum Point.
A special weather statement is in effect for parts of central, including Grand Falls-Windsor and Gander areas, as periods of snow and drizzle are expected to continue throughout Monday.
Snowfall between five and 10 centimetres can be expected through the day.
An extreme cold warning is also in effect for western Labrador through Monday.
Temperatures near –36 C with wind chills reaching –45 C can be expected.

Nancy Pelosi, the congresswoman from San Francisco who led Democrats in the House of Representatives for the last two decades, most recently as speaker, announced Thursday she is stepping down from her leadership role, but will continue serving as a member of the House, representing California’s 12th District.
Pelosi has no choice but to resign as speaker, since Republicans will take control of the House. Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who represents California’s 23rd District, has been nominated to take the speaker’s position when the new session commences in January. House Republicans won a narrow majority to take back the chamber — with several seats still outstanding — in the midterm elections. Democrats narrowly retain control of the Senate.
Pelosi’s decision to resign from any leadership role has more to do with other factors, including the fact that it is time for a new, younger leader to step in and take over.
As Pelosi said in remarks to the chamber Thursday, “Now we must move boldly into the future. I will not seek reelection to Democratic leadership in the next Congress. For me, the hour has come for a new generation to lead the Democratic caucus that I so deeply respect.”
Congressman Seth Moulton, D-Salem, led an unsuccessful challenge to Pelosi’s leadership after the 2018 midterm elections, saying back then that it was time for a younger generation to step up and lead. Moulton, who was selected by Pelosi for a key conference committee in 2019, has since supported her.
Moulton put out a statement Thursday praising the speaker.
“Breaking one of the toughest glass ceilings in the country, she inspired generations of women and set an example I will use with my two daughters,” he said. “I am grateful for what she has done for our party, and I am excited to support a new leader who will move us forward. Democrats need to come together focused squarely on the future.”
It now looks like three, younger members of Congress — Reps. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, and Pete Aguilar of California — will take the reins of power of the Democratic party, according to a report in the New York Times.
Another deciding factor for Nancy Pelosi has to be the attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi, in their San Francisco home Oct. 28. The attack was linked to the Jan. 6 armed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol because the attacker used the same verbiage when he broke into the house, yelling, “Where is Nancy Pelosi?” — which became a rallying cry — along with “Hang Mike Pence” — for the angry Capitol Hill mob.
Nancy Pelosi said shortly after the attack that it would impact her future political decisions. Paul Pelosi is out of the hospital, but faces a long and difficult recovery.
Making matters worse is that many Republicans made a mockery of the attack, putting out false claims about what happened. It seems clear that the hatred of the speaker held by the man accused of assaulting Paul Pelosi was fueled by MAGA Republicans. Nancy Pelosi was in Washington, D.C., during the attack. Had she been at home, it is clear the outcome could have been much worse.
Pelosi courageously stood up to President Donald Trump during his four years in office, even going so far as to rip up a copy of his State of the Union speech on live TV as he finished delivering it. But that action came with a price, as Trump supporters, and even Trump himself, ceaselessly attacked the speaker. During the Jan. 6 insurrection, protesters ransacked her office and stole items from her desk as Pelosi hid with colleagues in a basement office, calling on the president and military leaders to intervene to stop the violence.
Given what she’s been through, it’s surprising she’s staying on in Congress at all. But consistent with her legacy, she will continue to fight for her constituents and for democracy.
Democratic President Joe Biden said in a statement, “Because of Nancy Pelosi, the lives of millions and millions of Americans are better, even in districts represented by Republicans who voted against her bills and too often vilify her. That’s Nancy — always working for the dignity of all of the people.”
The president concluded, “She will never waiver in protecting our sacred democracy. As a nation, we owe her a deep debt of gratitude for her service, her patriotism, and above all, her absolute dignity.”
Yes, we do.

If I am going to put myself up for comment and criticism, I might as well start at where kettlebell training begins – the swing. Every kettlebell lifter starts with the swing, but not every swing is the same.
If we trawl through YouTube we might see many different versions of the swing. Some will incorporate a squat, some will be very freeflowing and look effortless, others will be much more ballistic. I will avoid labelling these as “hard” or “soft”. Instead I will look at my aims in the swing, which are to work hard, train efficiently without cutting corners, and achieve a good score in the Pentathlon. For these aims, I look at the swing promoted by Valery Fedorenko, and I find all that I am looking for.
Fedorenko says about his swing: “No rest, gravity makes you move at a pace that varies very little, so I usually just pick a number and go for it. The way I do Swings, it works the back, all the legs, makes you breath hard, sweat, AND make the grip work like nothing else. Make no mistake, it’s a total body workout.”
What do we want to achieve from the swing? Well, I want to achieve WORK. I don’t want the crutch of a two handed swing, I don’t feel the need for showmanship nor for shortcuts, I want each arm to perform work independently, and for progress to be made. As some of you will know, I can’t FEEL my legs working, but nonetheless I require them to work!
How will I measure the work? I am looking for a correct hand position, and a bell that stays still in the hand, and close to the body. I want to work at the swing, so that it becomes a movement my body totally understands and welcomes. My swing is still a work in progress, and I am determined to work hard at it. What do you want from YOUR swing?

looking for a book i had in the 50's. boy and his Dalmatian dog on day off from school. they visit a little girl
Thanks for asking! A picture book with these elements certainly sounds familiar, but it's proving very resistant to searches in our typical library databases and Google searches. I'm going to run a couple of book covers that happen to feature dalmatians or spotted dogs past you with almost no information available about the contents, just to see if they look familiar.
You can help improve our odds of finding the book with any other details you remember - was it a picture book or a book with chapters? Do you remember anything about the illustrations? Were they 'cartoony' or realistic? Does anything else stick in your mind about what the boy, dog, and girl do in the story?

A local authority has recently been found at fault by the Ombudsman because: ‘....it did not properly consider whether Mrs Y’s needs could be met with 24-hour care at home, instead applying a blanket financial decision contrary to the relevant legislation.’
‘The Council repeatedly stated its position that it does not fund 24-hour care at home. The Council failed to take a holistic approach and instead fettered its discretion by applying a blanket financial approach rather than considering each person’s needs on a case by case basis. This is contrary to the Care Act 2014 and the Guidance. This is fault.’
‘...Section 11.2 of the Guidance says “Local authorities should not have arbitrary ceilings to personal budgets that result in people being forced to accept to move into care homes against their will”.’

This is my Insecure Writers Support Group post for July.
Alex's awesome co-hosts this month are:
Please stop by their blogs and say thank you.
Hope you all had a fun, safe Independence Day.
I did. :)
July's question is: What would make you quit writing?
Life's demands on my time have caused me to temporarily stop, but to quit altogether? Death or a medical crisis that left me unable to write are the only things I can think of that would make me give it up. Writing is my therapy.
What about you?
IWSG is the brainchild of Alex J. Cavanaugh. It's a monthly bloghop that offers a safe haven for writers to express their feelings and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. It's also a venue for offering support, both in the form of comments and positive posts. Writers of all kinds are welcome.
We 'meet' the first Wednesday of every month. If you're interested in learning more, click on the link above. And don't be intimidated by the size of the group. We're not expected to visit everyone on the list.

Consumers closely monitor fats and oils in packaged food, finds global study
The findings are from Cargill’s FATitudes, an annual study constructed to learn more about consumers’ awareness, perceptions and behaviours around fats and oils found in packaged foods, and to help inform the future of food innovation.
Most consumers (68 percent) across the world closely monitoring the type and amount of fat and oil in their packaged food, according to a recent global study – FATitudes – from Cargill. The study confirmed that consumers track what goes into their bodies by closely reading labels of packaged foods, with fat and oil type as strong purchase consideration factors.
For this year’s FATitudes study, approximately 6,600 primary household grocery shoppers were surveyed in 12 countries including the United States, Germany, China, Brazil, the United Kingdom and more.
“This type of research is important because it gives Cargill and our customers a guidepost for our innovation efforts,” said Nese Tagma, Managing Director of Strategy and Innovation for Cargill’s global edible oils business. “As consumers’ attitudes toward fats and oils have shifted in recent years, we know they’re interested in consuming healthy amounts of oils. This research is vital to guide our thinking on whether to revitalise tried-and-true products or develop a new frying oil to adapt to changing tastes and health options.”
Key findings from the study include:
- A majority of global consumers reported the amount of fat (70 percent) and type of oil (67 percent) are important factors when determining which packaged foods to purchase
- How often consumers read labels differs by geography. Chinese consumers pay the most attention (89 percent), and German consumers monitor the least (48 percent)
- Nearly two-thirds (61 percent) of US consumers reported avoiding certain fats or oils, and among those who rank as “clean-label seekers,” 83 percent reported avoiding certain fats or oils, like saturated and trans fats
- Olive oil tops the list in every country for impact on purchase and perceptions of healthfulness in packaged foods, followed by fish and avocado oils
- A vast majority of global consumers, 93 percent, were aware of omega-3s
- Most consumers are checking labels for fat-related claims (fat-free, low fat, etc.) on packaged foods, and 54 percent said such a claim makes them more likely to purchase
- Consumers in Russia (76 percent), China (62 percent) and Brazil (61 percent) indicated they are more likely to purchase a product with a sustainability claim
- In most countries, an organic certification on a label is more impactful on purchasing decisions versus a non-GMO verification.
The results from FATitudes aim to help Cargill food innovators understand what consumers want, enabling them to develop innovative products that deliver on changing needs and desires.
“Food is becoming increasingly personalised; consumers are basing their purchasing decisions on specific ingredients. At the same time, society is driving food ingredient companies to develop more options for health-conscious consumers. Using consumer insights helps us innovate in ways that balance the societal pressures with individual preferences to create healthful, sustainable and cost-effective products,” said Florian Schattenmann, CTO and Vice President of Innovation and R&D, Cargill.

Info zu Trans (Remastered)
Originally released in 1982, Trans was a bold and bewildering move into the 'modern age' for the veteran singer/songwriter. While it's been called his 'Electronic' album, Trans doesn't transport Neil into Depeche Mode territory. Instead, Trans finds Neil experimenting with an array of computers, keyboards and vocoders along with his standard guitar/bass/drums backbone. Nine tracks, including 'Little Thing Called Love', 'Computer Age', 'Transformer Man' and a drastically different version of his Buffalo Springfield classic 'Mr. Soul'.
"When it was released, Trans was Neil Young's most baffling album. He had employed a vocoder to synthesize his voice on five of the album's nine tracks, resulting in disembodied singing, the lyrics nearly impossible to decipher without the lyric sheet. And even when you read the words, "Computer Age," "We R in Control," "Transformer Man," "Computer Cowboy," and "Sample and Hold" seemed like a vague mishmash of high-tech jargon. Later, Young would reveal that some of the songs expressed a theme of attempted communication with his disabled son, and in that context, lines like "I stand by you" and "So many things still left to do/But we haven't made it yet" seemed clearer. But the vocoder, which robbed Young's voice of its dynamics and phrasing, still kept the songs from being as moving as they were intended to be. And despite the crisp dance beats and synthesizers, the music sounded less like new Kraftwerk than like old Devo. A few more conventional Young songs (left over from an earlier rejected album) seemed out of place. Trans had a few good songs, notably "Sample and Hold" (which seemed to be about a computer dating service for robots), a remake of "Mr. Soul," and "Like an Inca" (an intended cross between "Like a Hurricane" and "Cortez the Killer"?), but on the whole it was an idea that just didn't work."

Ukrainians in Malta staged a peaceful protest outside the Russian embassy on Sunday, hanging banners at the embassy’s gates and wooden crosses outside its door.
A small group of protesters strung Ukrainian flags while singing the Ukrainian national anthem. The wooden crosses they placed near the embassy fence each represented a Ukrainian victim of the conflict unfolding in their home country.
The protest was part of a global effort by the Ukrainian World Congress to rebrand May 9, Russia’s Victory Day, as the “Day of Russian Shame”.
Victory Day is a revered day in Russia. It marks the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany in World War II.
But Sandro Zammit, one of the speakers at the protest, said today’s Day of Russian Shame “seeks to show the world the Nazi face of Russia, which is deliberately destroying the Ukrainian nation”.
“While telling stories about ‘Nazism’ and ‘Nazis’ in Ukraine, Russians themselves act according to basic Nazi manuals. On May 8, we must unite with the entire civilized world to honor the victims of World War II and veterans who fought to defeat Nazism,” he said.
Rita, a young woman who fled Ukraine three weeks ago, also questioned Russia’s war narrative.
“Tomorrow we will see how the Russian people will celebrate the victory over the Nazi regime, they will celebrate on the bones of the Ukrainian people, above the cries of the victims. What is the real face of the Russians, will they one day understand all this?
Serhii Zhyrov, another Ukrainian national, took the audience back to 2014 in his speech, recalling when Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula to Ukraine.
“I was driving in the Donetsk region to attend checkpoints organized by Russian separatists and partisans. I saw outlaws, freed felons and separatists taking hostages, robbing and blackmailing Ukrainian families…that’s when the new stage of genocide of Ukrainians began.
Violeta Hromova, a Ukrainian journalist, added that her home country had left “the orbit of Russian influence and returned to the European family, of which it had been a part for many centuries”.
“We are paying the greatest sacrifice for our freedom. Ukraine is losing its best sons. Dozens of people die every day from enemy attacks. There is not a single place in Ukraine where Russian missiles have not reached.

Great stuff on Forbes.com today by the Center for College Affordability and Productivity’s Daniel Bennett. Bennett examines the income-based student-loan repayment provisions attached to the health-care reconciliation law, and itemizes how much of their monthly repayment bill borrowers in most federal loan programs will be able to skip out on, leaving taxpayers holding the bag.
Check out Bennett’s entire, handy chart in the article to see the savings for numerous levels of debt and income, and I’ll just highlight the savings for borrowers with $25,000 in debt – slightly more than the average for those graduates who have any debt.
Basically, any single person at that debt level making below a little more than $60,000 a year would see savings under IBR. A federal loan of $25,000, with a 6.8 percent interest rate, would normally carry a monthly repayment of $383. But a person earning $60,000 a year would only pay $365 under IBR, a $19 monthly savings. And, of course, the IBR savings to the borrower – and loss to the taxpayer – gets bigger as income goes down.
Oh, and that’s really only half the story: While anyone with a federal loan (excluding PLUS loans) is now eligible for IBR, if you go into saintly non-profit work – including assuming the incredible hardships of working for the government – your remaining loan balance will be forgiven after only ten years of on-time payments, versus twenty for any devil who dares produce things for which people voluntarily pay!

It’s terrifying what they are doing regarding vaccines says Dr. Colin Gonsalves
Monday, September 21, 2020 9:38 am Email this article
“It’s so terrifying as to what they are actually doing in the world” regarding vaccines, Dr. Colin Gonsalves, Senior Advocate, Supreme Court of India, says in the documentary Plandemic: Indoctornation.
India had kicked out the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation after tribal girls in India were injured and killed from an HPV vaccine program that Gates had pushed.
“And now they’re back doing their same old tricks again,” Gonsalves says.
“And the worst thing is, they are taken as philanthropists, whereas what this actually is, is the acquisition of political and financial power.
“[India] with 1.3 billion people it’s going to be a good base for the pharmaceutical companies to make a killing, and kill a lot of people in the process.”

Guly Do Prado`s brace and a goal apiece from Adam Lallana and substitute Lee Barnard saw the Saints cruise to victory.
Tisdale said: "There's no shame in our performance and I'm not unhappy with the way we played.
"The second goal was always going to be the key and at 2-0 we could have gone safe and settled for that but that's not the way we play.
"We encourage our players to play extremely open and beating Sheffield Wednesday 5-1 a couple of weeks ago was just as much us as this game.
"We will always continue to attack and we have to be us, and there's nothing really to criticise the players for."

For a supercar it rides disarmingly well, absorbing most potholes and acclivities

Were all the rocky crests and rugged acclivities

Lindsay Lohan sparked speculation she has a new “boyfriend”.
The ‘Mean Girls’ star shared a snap of her and her sister Aliana Lohan hanging out backstage with members of Bastille at RedFestDXB in Dubai on Thursday (06.02.20) and originally captioned the photo to say that she had a “magical night” with the group and her “boyfriend” Bader – who many fans have suggested is the man in the black jacket in the picture.
Lindsay had written: “@aliana lovely night with sister and my boyfriend bader such a magical night (sic)”
It was suggested that the mystery man is Bader Shammas as Lindsay follows a private account with that name, though she has not tagged him in the post.
However, Lindsay has since edited the caption to just a wide smile emoji.
The ‘Rumors’ singer had previously insisted she was too busy for a romance, but said she would like to find a partner who “hates the spotlight” and doesn’t like Instagram.
She said last year: “I’m too busy [to date]. I just haven’t had time to think about it. [And] I haven’t met anyone I like.
“[I want] someone who hates the spotlight. No, seriously, someone who doesn’t have Instagram. [And] a smart businessman. But I haven’t met anyone that’s hit those [marks].”
And whilst many busy individuals looking for love have turned to dating apps to help them on their search, Lindsay insisted that’s not a path she’s interested in.
The ‘Freaky Friday’ star said: “It’s great for people that it works for and that love it but, no, it’s not for me, personally.”
Lindsay was previously engaged to Russian socialite Egor Tarabasov for four months until August 2016.
Meanwhile, Lindsay recently revealed she is planning to return to the United States this year.
The ‘Black Hole’ singer has developed a series of nightclubs and resorts in Greece since 2016 – but Lindsay revealed she intends to return home at some stage this year, suggesting she’ll also be returning to acting work.
Speaking about her career ambitions, she said: “I’m managing my sister, so I want to really focus on me and everything that I can do in my life and come back to America and start filming again, which I’m doing something soon in this new year.”

Surrounded by Godâ€™s Presence
Monongahela: many landslides, high bluffs that break off and fall, place of caving banks. Monongahela River is the river of falling banks.
Even the trails themselves look like hollow bones of a creek, rocks cast and jutting from sand in the highlands and mud in the lowlands. Trails ten inches wide, so narrow only one boot will fit the path at a time—a channel of constant steps, river water that never stops.
The Monongahela River Basin contains 17,371 acres that have been scouted and traced and given the name of Dolly Sods, a designated wilderness within the state of West Virginia.
Can wilderness stand to be designated?
I’m backpacking for the first time in five years and my body feels stronger in this moment than it felt that whole time.
At the end of Blackbird Knob trail, we set up camp along the creek. We drop our packs and assemble tent poles and stir couscous over a tiny gas flame. We build a fire as darkness falls early in the pines. There are burning bushes everywhere, huckleberries and blueberries lit ablaze and catching the light of the setting sun. We drag the tarp out again that night, beneath the bowl of sky and the milky way strewn across the black. The creek babbles quietly beneath.
The next morning I sit in solitude—I’ve found a spot at the base of a spruce and nestle between its roots, where the red pine needles have gathered.
I hold still and small in my sleeping bag in an attempt to stay warm.
The wind blows incessant and cold across my cheeks and slips into the free space between my sweatshirt and my collarbone. I squint against it, slowly realizing that even the wind, relentless and overwhelming, demonstrates something holy and wild and altogether good. It touches every surface of my skin and I can feel its cleansing breath within my chest as I inhale.
We follow Dobbin Grade trail to the lower Red Creek. And after a slow and giddy dinner, we’re around the fire and falling asleep again. We talk of our time in solitude the previous morning; beyond the fire, the night feels like it’s holding on to me.
Someone says, “I realized something yesterday.”
I look around to see everyone has averted their eyes, picking at the rims of their mugs, blinking against the smoke.
I look back at her. “I’ve never heard that huge voice people tell me about,” she says, staring steadily into the flames. “God’s voice,” she explains with a small nod, keeping her voice light. “I’ve never heard it.” I don’t know if it’s smoke or relief that washes over her eyes, or both. The firelight gleams on her cheeks, a hand of fire laid on her forehead, tenderly. “So I just assumed he didn’t want me or something.”
Earlier that day, I saw her run towards the setting sun, her arms wide, her steps high, the wind chasing her from every direction. She veered from the throw of light and began making circles in the oat grass and laurel, twirling her arms slow like the white windmills we saw along the valley. She was trying to carve circles in the wind, trying to restrain it in her arms, trying to evade it without realizing she was being held by it. And the witnesses, the red spruce black as ink by the shadows, the slender trunk of the birch adorned with golden leaves, and the endless, endless barrens, all testified to her rejoining.
We struggle to connect to a God who has infinitely, irrevocably connected our hearts to his; in the middle of the wilderness, we grapple against the wind and don’t realize until we’re drowsy around a fire that we’ve been wrestling with God himself.
The Red Creek will eventually drain into the Monongahela with its collapsing banks, the water incapable of restraint. My clothes hang on the line, frozen and drying, because the night before I slipped into the river to say that I could and did—the desire to be fully submerged by the water we’d been drinking from and sleeping by and following the past three days.
In the quiet light of morning sun, I sit on the bank and sing a wordless song; I hope no one comes down the bank to catch me harmonizing with a creek. I can’t always hear it but I know it sings all the same.
—Billie Paulus graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in May 2016 with a double major in Creative Non-Fiction and Applied Music. The fall break of her senior year, she was craving time with the Lord within his landscape, and the chance to backpack in the Monongahela National Forest provided just that.

Leading up to last week’s historic vote in Ireland to repeal the Eighth Amendment, the Western World had their eyes on the nation that now previously guaranteed its unborn citizens the right to life.
The pro-life community mourned as a massive movement, influenced heavily by groups from outside Ireland successfully swayed public opinion on a once deeply-held Irish respect for the life of the unborn.
A recent CNN painted a picture of the pro-abortion movement in Ireland that, disturbingly, still considers the unborn as a separate, human life. They simply believe it’s OK to end that life now.
In an article entitled Oops: CNN’s Ireland coverage admits abortion kills babies, Life Site News’s Claire Chretien points out several instances in a recent CNN report in which Irish women openly name the unborn as exactly what they are: living babies.
Titled ‘Irish abortions happen; they just don’t happen on Irish soil,’ the article explains what happens when an Irish “baby” is unwanted or has a disability. The article uses words like “mother,” acknowledging that the pregnant woman is a parent.
“They give you a feticide injection, which stops the baby’s heartbeat,” an Irish woman who had an abortion in England is quoted as saying.
Another section reads:
Arlette Lyons discovered during a routine 12-week scan that her baby had Patau syndrome, a chromosomal abnormality causing severe organ defects. The obstetrician said her baby would most likely die from a heart attack before it reached full term.
Got that? It’s a “baby,” and it’s alive. For something to be able to die, it must first be alive.
CNN also reports that some women prefer to take a ferry to England rather than fly because “it’s easier to bring the remains home.”
The remains of what? Of a “clump of cells,” or of a child not yet born but whose parent ended his life yet still feels attachment to him?
An accompanying video shares that one woman who underwent an abortion abroad opted to have her baby’s remains cremated and then sent to her in the mail.
Other quotes from the video:
“Giving birth to a baby who’s silent – there’s no words imaginable for it.”
“They tell you you can go on a ferry and bring your baby’s body back with you, but you’d need to keep a cold, you know, ice packs. Then there’s security, you know – they’ll ask what it is. I just couldn’t face any more thinking about what to do, you know. And then they offered a cremation. They have a tracking number for me, and that was Grace’s ashes being couriered home from the UK. It was carrying Grace and it was carrying my neighbor’s online shopping.”
“These abortion advocates (who no doubt are deeply hurting) are being honest,” Chretien explains. “Abortion does kill a whole, distinct, living human being, one with DNA and a body unique from his or her mother’s.”
“It seems the ‘repeal the Eighth’ movement in Ireland has conceded that the pre-born baby is, in fact, a human baby,” she explains. “Instead of relying on fake science that denies very basic human embryology to push abortion, they have moved on to suggesting that some babies are just better off dead than alive.”
This is the natural conclusion at the core of the pro-“choice” movement. The science is clear: it is a baby. Pro-aborts no longer even bother to argue that it’s not a baby. They’re trying to argue why some life has less value than other. This slippery slope has a very deep end, leading to natural arguments in defense of everything from euthanasia to eugenics to genocide.
And sadly, the only Western country that recognized the inherent value of unborn life has most likely just begun slipping.

Live tiger shrimp is a little expensive, crabs with egg yolk fried very delicious oh, that sauce fish slice taste very good oh, crabs did not break, so it is more troublesome to eat, teeth are not more laborious.
When we went there, there was no place in the garden outside, so I had to sit outside. The water spinach is rare and fresh shrimp meat is added to the teeth, and the fried rice noodles without rotten glutinous rice are considered to be worthy of the restaurant environment. There is also a cost for ordering water alone. If you have dinner alone, you can order a drink.

text: The Match Tree's function is a beautiful metaphor that illustrates a less-than-beautiful mode of consumption. As users break "branches" off of the geometric tree to use as matches, the tree looks smaller and more broken, until nothing is left but a two-dimensional stump. Like other conceptual products that cause us to question consumption, such as "Nothing", it's unfortunate that this design uses wood and actually participates in the waste that it symbolizes. According to the designer, the match Tree is meant to invoke the original act of creating fire by the first humans. The tree's ceramic base functions as a strike point for the matches, as well as an ash tray, and can accept tree "refills" that are sold in a flat pack. The designer, Ross McBride, was trained as a graphic designer and lives in Japan. These influences are articulated through the Match Tree as well as his other work, produced under his brand Normal.

Blow for Tenants As Landlords Get Sweeping Eviction Powers
Landlords will now be allowed to evict tenants who default a one-month rent if proposed law is adopted. In a report to the National Assembly by the Public Works and Housing Committee, landlords will be required to give tenants a one-month eviction notice, down from the previous three months.
In proposing the reduction in notice period, the report stated that it was a middle ground agreed upon by the landlords and the tenants during the public participation forums. If approved by the National Assembly, landlords will be at liberty to evict tenants who default on rent payment for just a month.
The original bill by Majority Leader, Mr Amos Kimunya, had proposed default of three consecutive months.
However, landlords will not be allowed to seize or auction a tenant’s property when they default on rent without following the legal process. The proposed law protects tenants from being subjecting to any form of annoyance by landlords with the intention of inducing or compelling them to vacate.
Landlords will also be entitled to terminate tenancy for any reason without reference to the rent tribunal upon the landlord giving notice of not less than 12 months for residential and 24 for business premises.
Tenants will be protected from measures by landlords to directly or indirectly pay higher rent for the premises.
In relief to tenants, landlords will be mandated to present them with receipts of repairs done before deducting any amount from the deposit. Landlords or agents found guilty of committing the offence are liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding two months’ rent or a prison term not exceeding six months.
In the proposed bill, tenants who do not oppose the increase of rent after receiving notice will be deemed to have accepted the increase.
Members of Parliament have also proposed that in the event of the sudden death of a tenant and there is no other person in the house, the tenancy will be deemed terminated after 30 days. Landlords will be mandated to preserve the property of a tenant who has died should a relative of the deceased fail to legally prove relationship to the tenant.
