Common name: Cotton
Local names: Hindi: Kapas Marathi: Kapus Tamil: Parutthi
Cotton, belonging to genus Gossypium, is widely distributed in temperate and tropical regions. It is a native of Northwest India and Pakistan. Like groundnut cake ghani pressed, expeller pressed and solvent extracted cotton seed cakes are available for feeding the livestock. In cotton growing belt it is the main source of protein to the livestock.
Nutritional value of cottonseed meal depends up on method of extraction, proportion of husk and lint and degree of decortication. The protein content
of cottonseed meal varies from about 22% in meal made from undecorticated cottonseed to 42% in meal
made from decorticated seed. The decorticated cottonseed meal contains 41% CP and 78% TDN. The crude fibre content ranges from 2-2.7% in glandless and 7.9-16.0% in decorticated to 26.9% in undecorticated form. Ether extract content varies from 4.2-11.3% in expeller and 0.9-2.9% in solvent extracted meals. Protein degradability of cottonseed meal is similar to or slightly less than soybeans (57% vs 65%). In comparison to other oil seed cakes, cotton seed cake has relatively high phosphorus content. Lysine is the most limiting amino acid in cottonseed meal (Sastry, 2002).
Cottonseed and its products contain an anti-nutritional factor, Gossypol (C30H30O8) which is a polyphenolic compound found exclusively in discrete bodies called ‘pigment glands’ which are distributed in leaves, stems, roots and seeds. Out of 15 gossypol pigments, the yellow pigment gossypol is the predominant naturally occurring which is chemically 1, 1’, 6-6’, 7-7’ hexahydroxy-5-5’-diisopropyl-3-3’-dimethyl (2,2’-binapthalene)-8-8’ dicarboxaldehyde. Gossypol content in different products depends on species, variety, location, year of growth, maturity, length or condition of storage and method of processing.
Ruminants are less susceptible to gossypol toxicity because of the detoxification mechanism present in the rumen. In rumen, there is binding of free gossypol with soluble protein (mostly to epsilon amino group of lysine) which is resistant to proteolytic enzymes secreted in lower gut. Ruminants can become susceptible to gossypol toxicity only if either rumen detoxification mechanism is bypassed or if they receive higher gossypol than the capacity of rumen microbes to detoxify it. Gossypol exerts partially reversible anti-fertility effect in male animals. Death from gossypol toxicity is partially attributed to reduced oxygen carrying capacity of blood and haemolytic effect on erythrocytes and exerts its toxic effect
in animals by uncoupling of respiratory linked oxidative phosphorylation. Besides gossypol, contamination of cottonseed meal with aflatoxin can be a problem in some areas.
There are various methods available for detoxification of cottonseed meal. Out of which, hydraulic or expeller processing, cooking or moist heat treatment results in binding and inactivation of gossypol which is in free form in seed, giving rise to ‘bound’ and ‘free’ gossypol. During processing free gossypol binds with protein thereby reducing protein quality, especially lysine availability.
Detoxification of cottonseed meal with either metallic ions like Ca and Fe, roasting, cooking, autoclaving or supplementation with lysine and methionine or fermentation with Aspergillus oryzae may prove beneficial in reducing the free gossypol content and its toxic effect. Some workers showed that out of various physical (cooking) and chemical (lime, iron) treatments, the detoxification of cottonseed meal with 1% Ca(OH)2 was found to be satisfactory in small ruminants (Agrawal, 2002).
Palatability and availability makes cottonseed meal a very common protein supplement. It can replace 100% soybean meal in ration when economics is to be considered. Cottonseed meal can be safely included up to 15% in total ration of cattle.

I was also disappointed by Horwood's snobbish attitude to agriculture. On page 329, referring to those women who worked on farms during the war, she says 'this type of agricultural work was quite different from horticulture. It was dirty and exhausting, and could be done by 'townies' with the minimum of training.' Agriculture and horticulture both have tasks which may be done by the untrained; they also both have tasks which require great skill and understanding. I would like to see a 'townie' (or Horwood herself!) plough a field with 'the minimum of training'! Horwood is obviously annoyed by the lack of respect given to women gardeners through history, so it is sad to see her handing out the same patronising comments to female farmworkers.
In spite of these minor annoyances, this is a good book and well-worth reading. I would just like to see one that covers the topic in more depth...a 'double digging' job instead of a 'forking over' one!
Altogether I was disappointed in this book and also feel that far more illustrations could have been used.
I also felt the book was too superficial. There was too little depth. Often I found myself starting to get interested only to find that the subject petered out and was never returned to. At times it seemed to me to be almost a race to rattle off as many names as possible with little background information. In addition I thought there were far too few photographs or descriptions of the gardens mentioned, there was very little information about planting or design styles. For example, at the very beginning of the book there is a reference to the recent recreation of Eleanor of Aquitaine's garden at Winchester but there is neither a photograph nor drawing to provide elucidation. Another example is that it is stated that Gertrude Jekyll designed 112 gardens but I can't recall any photos or illustrations of any of these gardens, and in fact there is very little in this book about one of this country's most prominent gardeners. Whilst Jekyll has been written about elsewhere, so the comparatively limited discussion of her work is perhaps justifiable to a degree, the same superficial approach has been applied to others too, such as Norah Lindsay.

Two teams headed in opposite directions will clash tonight as Cumberland Valley (6-3), loser of its last two, and State College (7-2), winner of its last four, collide at Memorial Field.
State College forced six turnovers last week in its 20-13 victory over Mifflin County. Darian Herncane and Ebrahim Britton, both senior defensive backs, each intercepted a two passes with Herncane returning one 96 yards for a score as Britton escorted him down the sideline.
Last season, the Eagles beat the Little Lions 45-21, keeping the ball on the ground 54 times for 286 yards and forcing two State College interceptions.
“They have a couple of people who do an excellent job carrying the ball,” said State College coach Al Wolski of the Eagles. “They run the Wing-T and they just keep coming at you.”
The Eagles come to State College looking to put an end to their skid. Last week they lost 34-14 to Harrisburg and the week before they lost 35-28 to Central Dauphin despite gaining over 300 yards on the ground. Both of those teams have also beaten State College this season.
Jeremy Salmon is the Eagles featured back and the Little Lions will have to find a way to slow him down. At 6-foot-3 and 237 pounds, Salmon has accumulated 786 yards this season to go along with 16 rushing touchdowns.
“It’s going to take discipline and reading your (responsibilities),” Wolski said of slowing down Salmon. “He’s a big a kid and he runs well and being able to contain him, who’s been most of their offense, is a big key.”
The Little Lions have their own rushing attack as well. Last week, senior Andrew Kelly rushed just nine times but made the most of his carries with 101 yards. Kelly is the team’s leading rusher on the season with 470 yards and also leads the team in rushing touchdowns with four. Balancing the Little Lion ground attack is senior fullback Ryan Goeke who has 396 rushing yards on a team-high 78 attempts.
Wolski is concerned with missing two days of practice time because of Hurricane Sandy. To recoup some of that missed time, Wolski extended practice on Wednesday and Thursday but said it’s hard to prepare in that short a time frame.
The Little Lions have thrived despite adversity. During its current streak, State College has overcome several injuries with reserves giving quality production.
“In our offensive line last week we were without a starting guard,” Wolski said. “So that ability to have enough depth and have (Brandon Quay) come in and do a great job has really helped us.”
The Little Lions already are guaranteed a playoff spot, but a win over Cumberland Valley could still have serious playoff ramifications.
“We mentioned playoffs this week only because this game could determine where we go,” Wolski said. “This game is important to us in itself because we want to do as well as we can in the Mid-Penn. It also could have an impact for us in terms of where we’re seeded so it’s an important game for us.”

MW2 cost $200 million
Modern Warfare 2 had a launch budget many times more than even the big games. Most of this was marketing, a sign of the times.
According to the Los Angeles Times Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had a launch budget of around $200 million. Only about $50 million of this, or one quarter, was actually spent on developing the game. The rest of the money went towards marketing and duplication costs. Since duplication is relatively cheap for most games most of this has to be the result of marketing.
This might be PR weekends for press, shills on forums, advertisements. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare marks just one of the many games who are now moving towards putting significant amounts of money toward marketing. Recently Valve confirmed that Left 4 Dead 2 would see an advertising budget of $25 million dollars, probably more than it cost to develop especially when development was only a year long.
The switch to marketing a game heavily is paying off it seems, with MW2 reportedly taking in $550 million dollars already.

Make It: Have your child paint 10 craft sticks and allow them to dry. Put a line of glue on the back of five sticks. Sandwich a piece of string between a glued stick and an unglued stick; clip them with clothespins to hold the glue securely. Let dry. Run glue along an unpainted craft stick, lay it horizontally and stick on the five strings as shown (don't let the sticks hang too low or they'll tangle in the wind). Top with another unpainted stick and add clothespins to hold the glue securely. Once dry, tie the strings together and cut off the excess. Hang outdoors and let the wind do its work.
This is probably one the easiest woodworking projects you will find here. Although easy, a doormat is an equally important and useful item for households. As you can see in the image below, you will only need some 2X2 wooden boards and rope to build a simple doormat. This doormat is mostly useful for outdoor and porch. It will easily remove all the mud from your shoes with just one wipe. It is also very easy to clean and looks fabulous even if it is dirty.
This rack can be built from old unused wood pallets you can find around the house. So it is also a great way to recycle those old pallets. You can also find a step by step tutorial at instructables.com for which I have included the source link below. This tutorial helps you to make a wood wine rack from the scratch. So what are waiting for? Just grab the items you need and start building a cool wooden rack for those nice wine bottles of yours.
Another awesome thing about this coffee table is that it is also has a storage unit.

Let’s have a look at the pictures of this rack which I am sharing.
Google is probably the first place where most people would start searching for woodworking plans, but often the top results can be a mix of articles and how-to pieces that just aren’t detailed enough. Sometimes they’ll link to the plans (like we try to here at Lifehacker), but other times, they’re just showing off a cool project. There are better, more precise ways of finding what you’re looking for.
And the fact is that you can make your own patio chair with several old but still good pallets. Here we are providing a tutorial that everybody can follow easily – it is very well-written and also self-explanatory, which is great for those who are a beginner at woodworking and have never completed a DIY project before. As you don’t need to be a professional woodworker or a handyman to complete this project, so it is not a difficult task – all you need is a bit of determination!
As your interest in woodworking grows, you’ll want to subscribe to a woodworking magazine. This will help feed your new found obsession with articles on tools, techniques, and woodworking plans. As a print magazine subscriber you’ll also gain access to their database of plans on their websites. Popular magazines include, Woodworkers Journal, Fine Woodworking, and Popular Woodworking.
Begin by cutting off a 10-in. length of the board and setting it aside. Rip the remaining 38-in. board to 6 in. wide and cut five evenly spaced saw kerfs 5/8 in. deep along one face. Crosscut the slotted board into four 9-in. pieces and glue them into a block, being careful not to slop glue into the saw kerfs (you can clean them out with a knife before the glue dries). Saw a 15-degree angle on one end and screw the plywood piece under the angled end of the block.

EDF Energy have released a graph detailing the factors that have contributed to its latest price rise.
The company became the fifth of the "big six" energy supplier to raise its prices after it announced a 3.9 per cent increase earlier.
The rise - which will come into effect on January 3 - means its average annual standard variable rate bill will increase by around £49 a year to £1,300.
The chief executive of the French-owned company called for the energy industry to "challenge the cost and affordability" of the Government's green schemes.

It's a new year, and already the jokes about failing to keep resolutions past the first few days have begun. Keeping an exact resolution (e.g., "I will eat nothing but healthy food") can be too restrictive, but a more open-ended resolution (e.g., "I'll eat more healthy foods") can stick longer because of its flexibility. Food is a big focus of resolutions, so if you like to eat out at restaurants, look into making a few changes that will still let you eat foods you like while making the meals a little better for you.
When you order dishes that come with a few vegetables—not a salad, but things like tomatoes and pickles for a burger, for example—ask about getting a few more slices of the vegetables. If a dish comes with some tomato wedges as a garnish, ask if the restaurant can throw a couple more wedges onto your plate. Many times, restaurants will do this for free if you're not asking for a lot. Or, you may have to pay, but only an extra few cents or so. A couple of extra lettuce leaves here and a couple of extra onion slices there might not seem like a lot, but they do add up.
Chocolate (or Other Flavor) Milk Instead of a Shake
Ice-cream shakes are delicious, and they're also calorie bombs. Sometimes you can get the same rich mouthfeel from something as simple as chocolate milk. If you're truly craving an actual ice-cream shake, then go with that. But if what you really want is something cold, creamy like a shake, and flavored, try low-fat or whole chocolate milk, or another flavored milk if that's on the menu. Sometimes that can hit the spot while providing less fat and fewer calories than a shake.
Remember the Dressing-Fork Tactic
This is an old tactic, but it works: Have dressing served on the side on your salad, dip your fork into the dressing, and then spear some salad ingredients. You get enough dressing to flavor the bite without drowning sections of salad (because face it, even if you try to place only a little dressing on the salad, you're going to get globs of dressing on some parts).
Not every restaurant does this, but some do: Ask to split sides. If a dish comes with a choice of sides, like fries, a side salad, onion rings, or steamed vegetables, for example, ask if you can get a half portion of fries and a half portion of steamed vegetables instead of one or the other, or whatever combination suits your fancy. You still get your fries or onion rings, while adding in vegetables.
You can always call the restaurant you want to go to ahead of time to see what they are willing to do or what they offer if their menu isn't online. Restaurants are aware that people want to eat a little healthier, and modifications like these are easy to make.Share

As soon as I started traveling a lot for work, I realized that I was going to be eating out--a lot. Instead of just visiting the same old fast-food restaurants that I had grown up with, I decided that it would be great to explore exciting new restaurants. I started small, by going to little places that had earned high ratings, and then I worked my way up to some of the more fancy establishments in the area. It was really great to see what I was able to find, and I was super pleased to explore so many new kinds of foods. Check out this blog for tips on enjoying new restaurants.

I reached a point about four days ago when I simply could no longer tolerate the music that had been keeping me going.
Springsteen's "Wrecking Ball"? Enough already. Foster the People? So last summer. Usher's "Burn"? Once my favorite, and now deeply tiresome. The mashup of Drake and Adele that seemed fresh a month ago"? I'd rather sit in silence. Overkill will do that.
So I did the sensible thing. I posted a low-key request on Facebook for suggestions of new music in the genres of alternative, power-pop and neo-soul/R&B.
Within a few hours, I was a rich woman.
My college friend Dan Butturini in Connecticut suggested Mayer Hawthorne's latest album, "How Do You Do?" I checked it out and was immediately entranced. It was Motown with a fresh twist from a young Ann Arbor singer-songwriter -- a former hip-hop deejay -- who looks like Clark Kent and sings like a dream. (His video is at the end of this post.)
Local musicians (who happen to be married to each other) Erin K. O'Brien and Michael Swain each checked in. Erin brought my attention to Live From Daryl's House -- the amazing live web concert that Daryl Hall has been doing the past few years, inviting musicians of every stripe to join him. I lost the next several hours of my life happily exploring back episodes.
Michael suggested neo-soul sensation Raphael Saadiq, whose "Stone Rollin'" is not only a great song but quite a sultry video.
And there were plenty of other suggestions -- all appreciated, and more than I can mention here -- including those from experts like News critic Jeff Miers who thought I might like the Beatle-y band Purple Melon, and singer-songwriter Michael Oliver who offered power-pop band The Menzingers' "On the Impossible Past."
News Online Editor Geoff Nason suggested alt-country's First Aid Kit. News reviewer and Block Club editor Ben Siegel liked Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Alfredo Carbajal, managing editor of Al Dia at the Dallas Morning News, demanded that I download his album-of-the-year choice, "My Head Is An Animal" from the Icelandic alernative band Of Monsters and Men.
So since I like to share, too, here's one of my favorite new songs, Mayer Hawthorne's "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out," recorded on "Live From Daryl's House."

The old town of Rethymno is one of the best-preserved towns in Crete, a unique blend of eastern and western elements brought by the traditional identity and the strong Venetian influence. Being under the Venetian rule for four centuries, left Rethymnon an important architectural heritage including squares, loggias, fountains and clock towers which can be admired to this day. With their arrival in Crete, Venetians established the architectural orders of their country, creating a plethora of splendid works along the entire island of Crete.
At the same time, during the construction of the fortified castles and towers, many public buildings were built, but nothing could overshadow the beauty of the temple of the Lady of the Angels, built in 1609 AD. Equally interesting is the splendid Rimondi Fountain of the town. The highlights of the Venetian town which is steeped in history are definitely the Venetian houses and mansions, the arches and the beautiful decoration that can be admired within as well as outside. The most important remain from the Venetian era and the trading activity of that time is the famous Venetian port, the jewel of Rethymnon.
One of the best examples of the fine architecture of Rethymno is the Venetian Loggia, a 16th century building standing in the heart of the city. The Porta Guora, or else (Big Door) at the entrance of the old town is also worth to mention. One of the most well-preserved mosques in Crete is the Ibrahim Han Mosque in the Fortrezza, just above the town.
Visitors will find many hotels that have been created in respect of the traditional architecture.

The Public Sector Pay System in Israel
This report analyses the pay system in Israel’s public sector, and provides recommendations
to align it with the strategic priorities of the government. It recommends ways to
simplify job classification and better match pay to market rates, particularly in
areas where the public sector has trouble competing for talent. It also identifies
opportunities to better reward performance, productivity and job responsibilities.
In Israel, no pay reform is possible without the agreement and active collaboration
of public sector unions, and so the second part of this report focuses on public sector
labour relations and makes recommendations to improve the functioning of the collective
bargaining process in Israel’s public sector. This report contributes to the ongoing
work of the OECD’s Public Employment and Management working party, to support the
implementation of the Recommendation of Council on Public Service Leadership and Capability.

NEW YORK—The opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games contained all the pageantry that one might expect from an authoritarian regime eager to burnish its global image: Hundreds of children holding dove-shaped props formed the shape of a heart while they danced in a star-lit stadium as green and white fireworks spelled out the word “spring” overhead, a reference to the Lunar New Year celebration.
“One world, one family,” so read the slogan displayed to spectators in the partially filled “Bird’s Nest” National Stadium on Jan. 4, echoing a call for unity that the Chinese regime has often repeated on the world stage over the past few years.
With this glitzy show, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is trying to divert the world’s attention from much grimmer realities, including the detention, torture, and death taking place mere miles away from Olympic venues, according to activists.
One detainee was so emaciated that she was taken home on a stretcher and slapped with a 2 1/2-year sentence days later. Another detainee spent his entire 30s in prison, only to receive another long sentence years later. A third one lost her husband to persecution and is now behind the bars herself. All three became regime targets merely for persisting in practicing their faith.
Their stories and others were featured in an interactive map released on Feb. 4, the same day that Beijing became the world’s first city to host both the Summer and Winter Games. The map, developed by the Falun Dafa Information Center, spotlighted more than a dozen “persecution hotspots” in and around Beijing, where adherents of the persecuted faith group Falun Gong are languishing for not surrendering their beliefs.
It’s the first comprehensive map of its kind to allow “a glimpse inside the places the Chinese Communist Party does not want you to see,” according to the New York-based human rights group.
The “proximity of Olympic glory to terrible human suffering highlights the tragic and often deceptive rule of the Chinese Communist Party,” said Erping Zhang, spokesperson for the Falun Dafa Information Center.
“There is no other regime on earth that has the audacity, and international clout, to host the Games while simultaneously detaining such large numbers of prisoners of conscience in settings ripe with abuse and torture,” he said in a statement.
Olympic Venues Alongside Prison Camps
Adherents of Falun Gong have been subjected to more than two decades of persecution under the communist regime, which deemed the group a threat after the practice exploded in popularity during the 1990s. An estimated 70 million to 100 million people were practicing Falun Gong by the end of that decade, according to estimates at the time.
A half-dozen torture facilities that hold Falun Gong detainees are roughly 10 to 20 miles away from Beijing’s major Olympic venues, from the National Stadium to the National Speed Skating Oval, where the speed skating competition commenced on Feb. 5.
“You could literally watch the speed skating Olympic event, walk out the door from the oval, and walk 14 miles due, east and you are at a prison camp where people are being incarcerated—at least one case for nine years—for their faith in Falun Gong,” Levi Browde, executive director of Falun Dafa Information Center, told The Epoch Times.
It took a month for researchers to verify the details and complete the map. Many of the facilities have both a public and private name and even two addresses to avoid outside scrutiny. Some of them, serving concurrently as labor camps, have adopted a secondary name as a cover for their slave labor business, according to the researchers.
Despite his years of research into the persecution campaign, seeing the facilities visually was still striking, according to Browde.
“That’s sort of like going to see Yankee Stadium and walking down to somewhere in Central Park, where there’s a prison camp,” he said.
Long Years Behind the Bars
The detainee that Browde cited was 52-year-old Shi Shaoping, who holds a master’s degree from the photochemical institute at the country’s lead national scientific institution, the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
While Shi was arrested at his home in November 2019, his family didn’t hear any news about his whereabouts until April 2021. That’s when police notified them of Shi’s nine-year sentence at the Beijing No. 2 Prison, a facility for death-row inmates and those serving life sentences.
Shi had already served a 10-year prison sentence because of his faith prior to this arrest. At Qianjin Prison, which also is on the interactive map, Shi was made to sit motionless on a small stool for up to 20 hours daily over a period of a few years, according to Minghui.org, a U.S.-based clearinghouse for the persecution of Falun Gong in China. On the coldest winter days, guards would leave the window open, causing Shi’s body to shiver. He was once barred from using the restroom for an entire month.
Sixteen miles away from the same skating venue is the Beijing Women’s Prison, where artist Xu Na was held until last month.
Months before the Beijing Summer Olympic Games in 2008, police arrested Xu and her husband Yu Zhou during an “Olympic check,” after discovering Falun Gong books in their car. Yu, a folk singer and musician, died in detention 11 days later, on the eve of Chinese New Year. Xu subsequently spent three years in detention.
About 22 miles northwest of National Stadium, the Changping District Detention Center held Wang Chaoying for distributing informational materials about Falun Gong. The 68-year-old was hospitalized three times over a six-month period between 2020 and 2021. She was sent home on a stretcher after having lost 40 pounds. Ten days later, the court delivered her verdict: a 2 1/2-year prison sentence.
Over the past two years, more than 31,000 arrests and harassment cases of adherents have taken place, according to Minghui.org. Records from the site show that about 1,800 of them were sentenced and more than 200 people have died over the same period; however, human rights experts believe the true death toll to be vastly higher because of the challenge of getting official information from China.
Disposable Chopsticks and Cotton Swabs
Thirteen miles north of the skating oval is the Beijing Juvenile Correction Facility where Liu Jiying, who escaped to New York in 2016, first crossed paths with Xu in 2001, Liu told The Epoch Times. The facility was actually an underground forced labor facility, where they became practically slave laborers. Both were later transferred to Beijing Women’s Prison, then still under construction. Liu was serving an eight-year jail term, while Xu was serving a five-year sentence.
Each prison unit sourced its own “jobs.” Xu was given some of the harshest labor, including sewing shoe soles, which often kept her up until 2 a.m. Liu made sweaters and scarfs for export, stitched lacings on ski socks, and assembled stamp albums. More often, she would need to package about 10,000 disposable chopsticks each day. There would be no sleep until the allotted quota was met. Talking wasn’t allowed, but once, Liu flashed a thumbs-up to Xu to cheer her up.
The hygiene situation on the production floor was often deplorable, according to Liu, now 67. The chopsticks sometimes came with shoe prints on them. When placing cotton swabs—another product she had to package—into plastic bags at the Beijing Women’s Prison, small insects would crawl out. The swabs would be labeled as “disinfected,” she said.
It was while at these facilities that Liu vowed never to use disposable chopsticks again.
“When people take the chopsticks to eat, they’d assume those are clean. Who would examine them that closely?” she said.
On Jan 14, three weeks ahead of the Winter Games, Xu was handed another eight-year prison term for her role in supplying photos to The Epoch Times that documented the early months of the pandemic. While following Xu’s case from New York, Liu said the news gave her inexplicable sadness.
“She already served eight years, now’s another eight,” she said.
Liu knows of others who have fared even worse: One of her friends, who didn’t cave in to authorities’ pressure to renounce her beliefs, served 12 years. Her son was 9 months old when she was jailed. When the woman was freed, the child didn’t recognize her as his mother.
“What did we do? I didn’t do anything illegal. What right do they have to imprison me for eight years?” Liu said. “It is they who are breaking the law.”
She had once posed the same questions at an arraignment hearing in 2016.
“You are committing a crime,” she told authorities.
They, in turn, “said not a word.”
Liu lost her mother shortly after her release in 2016. The woman had fallen unconscious following Liu’s arrest and a house raid.
“My mother didn’t have to die,” she said.
The tragedies traversing two Beijing Olympics should make plain to the international community that the regime hasn’t changed at all, Browde said.
“Too often, they would look at the high rise buildings and all the Starbucks around Beijing, and they think, ‘Oh, this is the new China,’” he said. “They just think it’s better and more civilized.
“Seeing Olympic venues right alongside prison camps … where people are incarcerated and tortured because of their faith makes the deception and the hypocrisy of the CCP very clear.”

Here is my question for the day. Does remodeling ever go smooth and easy? We’ve hit delay after delay. Snag after snags then add a few more snags.
We ordered new carpeting the beginning of April. Granted it’s a LOT of carpet so it had to be ordered. Then this week the carpet arrived. YEAH!!! But, nooooooo because NOW they decided that we need to do an asbestos on the bathroom floor tile. (hold your ears….) )@$@*($@O(&%@% why couldn’t you tell us that when we order the )@&$@((@((* carpeting?!?!?
So we send off the tile scraping to the governmental agency. Tile in all the bathrooms fine. Except the bathroom outside my craft room. It has a trace amount. (I’ve been suspicious of the ugly bathroom all along!) This is truly an ugly bathroom, whoever designed this could have really made this beautiful!! How about adding black bathroom sinks to go with the black tile?
Everything is on hold again until we have a CHEMIST come and bless the room hazard free. What does that entail? We have no idea. Of course, it’s a holiday weekend soooooo we wait.
We can’t add our furniture well, because #1 most of it is still in California. #2 it will make laying the carpet much easier if we leave the rooms empty.
As it stands right now we have the **diningroom table that came with the house and a bed. That’s it. The table serves as desk, television stand, dinner place and well the general hang out for The Husband and I.
**The diningroom table is beautiful!! It looks to be handcarved. It’s heavy as all get out! However, when it’s the only place to sit it’s mighty uncomfortable. I plan to add more padding when I recover these chairs.
As far as the kitchen remodel…….. well, it probably deserves it’s very own post. Needless to say, it hasn’t started yet either.
So, that’s my Sunday update for the remodel. As far as the giveaway widget. I did hear back from the folks at GiveawayTools. We should have this fixed soon. Or maybe Tuesday if they are also on a Holiday break too.
I hope your week goes smoothly!!

Spinal cord injuries are devastating and coping with the consequences of a spinal cord injury can be difficult. Some people will never regain feeling or mobility, and others may find it challenging to live an everyday life.
A person who suffers an injury to their spinal cord will often find their entire life changed. While unable to do even minor activities in life, such as moving or bathing themselves, victims who suffer from a spinal cord injury (SCI) will be forced to rely on others and/or expensive medical care to survive each day.
The spinal cord is a part of the central nervous system and aids in sensations, movement, and immune function. It carries information between the nerve signals that are sent between the brain and the body. An accident that damages the spinal cord can cause severe damage to a person’s ability to perform daily activities.

How Do Spinal Cord Injuries Occur?
A spinal cord injury can occur suddenly, usually due to being placed in an unexpected or dangerous situation. Some causes of an SCI can be a car accident, medical malpractice, or becoming the victim of a violent crime. The cause of a spinal cord injury is less important than what it takes to treat them properly. The treatment for this type of injury never ends up being quick, painless, or free of charge.
Victims of these types of accidents are often suffering for years after the accident has taken place. These accidents are usually caused by others’ negligence or lack of responsibility.
The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center has found that the most common causes of these types of injuries stem from:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents (truck or a car accident): Responsible for 38.2% Spinal Cord Injuries
- Falls: Responsible for 32.3% Spinal Cord Injury Cases
- Violence: Responsible for 14.3% Spinal Cord Injury Cases
- Sports & Recreation: Responsible for 7.8% Spinal Cord Injury Cases
- Medical Malpractice: Responsible for 4.1% Spinal Cord Injury Cases
Many patients with a spinal cord injury claim to experience long-term effects, which may include paralysis. Aside from the injuries themselves, many conditions can also cause or contribute to the development of mental impairment, balance issues, constant pain, and nerve damage.
What Makes a Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Different From Other Lawyers?
A spinal cord injury (SCI) is incredibly complex. An SCI involves many different doctors and disciplines. They also involve more than one party who has played some role in your injury.
SCI’s are among the most costly types of injuries that people can experience. The costs can range from thousands of dollars to millions, depending on the type of care required for victims. When our spinal cord injury lawyers take on a case, we need to figure out what your lifetime cost will be so that we can recover financial compensation for your future.
- Expensive medical care, hospital bills, occupational therapy, medication, surgeries, medical devices, and ongoing treatment.
- Battles with an insurance company or worker’s compensation claim.
- Costly technology devices and services, including scooters, stairlifts, home elevators, wheelchair ramps, and software, allowing individuals to work, play, and live more independently.
- Future finances, including lost wages.
- When you are no longer employed and facing a gap in health insurance, you may be faced with the burden of paying for out-of-pocket medical expenses.
- Persistent pain and/or discomfort
- Unable to sustain the same quality of life after the incident
- Anxiety, stress, and depression can increase.
- Physical, psychological, and emotional challenges
Any number of circumstances can cause a spinal cord injury. If you or a loved one has a severely injured spinal cord through no fault of your own, receiving the right legal advice from a Seattle spinal cord injury attorney can prove extremely helpful in navigating a complex legal procedure.
An experienced spinal cord injury lawyer in Seattle is prepared to aggressively fight on your behalf if you suspect that you have an SCI due to negligence, intentional harm, or unintentional harm. We have all the resources needed to handle what might feel like an overly complicated legal.
Four Major Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
The spine has four main regions: The cervical (the neck), the thoracic (the back), the lumbar (the middle bottom part of the spine), and the sacral (the base of the spine just above the tailbone). The four main regions of the spine are known to help determine the location of an injury. The region that suffers injury will determine what kind of pain or symptoms one may have.
Neck injuries are very dangerous, especially ones to the cervical region of the spine. Neck problems may cause quadriplegia – when both your arms and legs are paralyzed. Additionally, you might have weakness in some regions of the body. Symptoms may include numbness in one or more hands or feet, bowel or bladder dysfunction, or sexual dysfunction.
A spinal cord injury in the chest area is less common because the rib cage protects the spinal cord. Spinal cord injuries in the chest area are usually not fatal, but they can have severe and long-lasting effects. Many people who get hurt in the chest area lose muscle function, making a recovery and getting back to everyday life difficult.
Injury to the lumbar nerves in the lower back affects the hip and legs. Wheelchairs may be required in some cases, while others can walk with braces, and some victims experience loss of bowel and bladder control. Injuries might result in paraplegia (paralysis of the legs and lower body). Depending on one’s strength in the legs, a person with a lumbar injury may need a wheelchair.
A sacral injury can cause a person to lose bowel and bladder control and limited or no sexual functions. These injuries can lead to weakness or paralysis of the hips and legs.
Spinal cord injuries can have devastating and life-changing effects. At Wells Trumbull, we will aggressively pursue those responsible for your injury. We understand the severe consequences that such an injury involves and will work diligently to ensure that you are fully compensated for your injuries and future losses. As your spinal cord injury lawyer, all we do is help people with severe injuries.
Incomplete Injury vs. Complete Injury of the Spinal Column
There are two types of spinal cord injuries a person can have – complete and incomplete spinal injuries. While both types of spinal cord damage are dangerous, complete spinal cord injury results in an inability to move or feel. Incomplete paralysis is categorized as anything from loss of bladder or bowel control to partial limb movement or partial sensation.
Depending on where the injury occurs, you should recognize how complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries can impact you and the long-term results.
Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
Incomplete injury refers to instances where nerve damage affects some parts of the body more than others. Someone with this type of injury may move one arm or leg more than another with an incomplete SCI.
For example, a mild incomplete SCI may result in barely noticeable effects. However, a severe incomplete spinal cord injury may present itself as having the same symptoms as a complete spinal cord injury.
Complete Spinal Cord Injury
When you suffer a complete SCI, it means that your nervous system has been heavily affected, and you may require extensive rehabilitation to regain function in the limbs connected to the upper brainstem.
The word “complete” means that due to the damage your spine sustained during your accident, you’ve now lost all ability to use any muscles or limbs connected directly with the spinal cord. For example, if you suffer a complete cervical spinal cord injury, you may now have quadriplegia. It’s important to note that this term does not imply paralysis. When someone has quadriplegia, it does not mean they are without feeling or sensitivity.
How to Tell the Difference
People with spinal cord injuries require medical care immediately. Once in the emergency room, doctors will examine them to see if they have any activity or communication below the affected area of the spine. The doctor may utilize an X-ray, CT scan, and MRI scan to diagnose a spinal cord injury.
It may be hard to tell the difference between a complete and incomplete SCI in the early days after an accident. Once the swelling goes down after about 7 – 10 days, the doctor can then distinguish between the two types of injuries (complete or incomplete injuries).
Once the swelling is down, a qualified doctor will conduct a thorough neurological exam of your body. Here are some things they look for:
- Ask the person questions about what symptoms they are experiencing, what other health conditions they have, etc.
- Examine the spinal canal for any visible signs of spinal injury.
- Carry out a physical examination of the patient and where the injury occurred.
- A doctor may perform several tests to determine a patient’s condition regarding muscle, spinal nerves, physical injury, and nerve control.
Both complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries occur due to damage to a person’s spinal cord. A spinal cord injury caused by a motor vehicle accident often has different recovery strategies than an injury caused at a construction site.
In summary, complete spinal cord injuries mean that the affected person will lose some or most of their sensations and movement after being injured. While an incomplete cord injury, by contrast, there will still be some sensation and movement present after the injury has occurred.
What Do Spinal Cord Injury Victims Experience?
The spinal cord is a long, narrow bundle of nerves that runs from the brain to the rest of the body. When there is a spinal cord injury, your spinal cord can stop working. This means that the parts of the body that the spinal cord controls will no longer work the way they used to. According to the Mayo Clinic, the following bodily functions will be affected:
- Loss of bowel or bladder control
- Changes in sexual functions
- Respiratory Problems
- Circulation Problems
- Difficulty with balance and walking
- Nerve pain, numbness, or tingling
- Weakness or paralysis in any part of your body
- Difficult feeling hot or cold
- A strangely twisted neck or back.
Take legal action if you have suffered in an accident caused by another person or entity that resulted in personal injury or damage to your spinal cord. If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, speak to a physician first. Then it may be helpful to talk with a Wells Trumbull spinal cord injury attorney in Seattle who has handled these types of cases in the past with success.
What You Need to Know About a Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit
In spinal cord injury settlements, the amount of money you’re going to be awarded will depend on several factors. There are a few guidelines that factor into the calculation of spinal cord injury lawsuits:
Plaintiff’s Health & Age
Younger plaintiffs are typically awarded higher settlements since they have many more years of life ahead and, therefore, likely have more medical bills. This gives rise to the fact that the injury will come at a much more significant loss. An injury taking ten years of potential activity away from an older adult versus 40 years of possible activity for a younger person will be viewed much differently when it comes to damages.
Nature of the Injuries
The severity of your injuries impacts the type of settlement you can expect to receive. This is why people who suffer serious, life-threatening injuries will get larger payments than people who get by without too much harm done. If you sustain a severe injury in a car accident, don’t be surprised when pain and suffering-related damages rise in value.
When you sue for an SCI, you’re not just suing for suffering or your future medical bills. You can also sue for future earnings, loss of your ability to provide for your family, your permanent disability, or any other factors that may affect how much you get compensated following an accident.
Sometimes you can be in a situation where it’s challenging to know the best course of action—settling your case or going to trial? In some cases, if you think you have a good case and your evidence is strong, the other party may try to settle. They know it doesn’t make sense to go to trial with a strong case already in place.
Say you’re suing a hospital for medical malpractice for a million dollars. That hospital is unlikely to pay out that claim if you can’t even prove that the doctor’s actions were the exact cause of your injuries. Conversely, if you have undisputed evidence, the hospital might be afraid to face a jury, thereby giving them a solid incentive to settle the medical malpractice lawsuit.
The primary purpose of a lawsuit is to recover your out-of-pocket and future medical expenses. Your Wells Trumbull spinal cord injury lawyer in Seattle will be negotiating with the insurance company to ensure that you get reimbursed in the settlement. This money will be essential when it comes time for you to pay future medical costs!
When it comes to SCI cases, medical bills constitute the bulk of a settlement or jury award, so high medical bills that come with severe injuries will significantly increase your case’s value.
Cause of the SCI
While every spinal cord injury case is unique, the one thing each person who has sustained such an injury needs to know is whether or not they have a valid claim. Typically, a claim for spinal cord injury damages belongs to one of two categories:
Negligence can occur when a person or business doesn’t follow reasonable rules of conduct, resulting from a lack of action. To win such a case, you must prove that there was an obligation to act in a certain way, and negligence resulted in your injuries on the defendant’s part.
Product liability is a vital part of consumer law, and it holds manufacturers responsible when injuries occur due to a design or manufacturing flaw in a product. The defect can be linked to inadequate warnings and instructions that render the product’s use far more dangerous than anticipated.
In a product liability lawsuit, an individual who can establish a valid claim against the manufacturer or seller of the defective product must be able to prove that there was an undisputed connection between the defect(s) and the resulting injury(s).
For example, a spinal cord injury lawyer in Seattle will review a company’s manufacturing process to determine if the product liability lawsuit has the potential to move forward and recover compensation. When a spinal cord injury attorney can prove negligence, you may be entitled to a settlement. A settlement can be a large sum of money that can help you with medical expenses, lost wages, and overall pain and suffering that may have occurred
What Damages Can Your Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Pursue?
At Wells Trumbull, we are passionate about helping you pursue fair compensation for your severe personal injury. Our Seattle-based spinal cord injury lawyers can review your neck or back injury case and tell you what it might be worth. The defendant may owe you compensation because of their negligence.
Here are some of the damages you can seek for a spinal cord injury lawsuit:
Pain and Suffering
Injuries to the neck and back are not fun. While any personal injury can be inconvenient, neck and back injuries are the most painful, causing stiffness, immobility, chronic pain, or emotional distress. A personal injury lawsuit has strict time frames to file a claim, so we urge you to give us a call as soon as you’ve been injured! These are all compensable damages in Washington.
Suppose a person suffers a severe spinal cord injury and cannot work. In that case, they may seek financial compensation to help offset the cost of lifelong medical expenses, live-in care, home or vehicle modifications, and loss of consortium.
You have the possibility of recovering 100% of all your expenses from a successful case. You may receive treatment, medication, medicines, hospital stay, x-rays, and ambulance fees – among many other costs due to your spinal cord injury.
Lost Wages and Future Earnings
After you have sustained injuries in an accident, chances are you won’t be able to get back to your job right away, if at all. In the most severe of cases, one might not even be able to work again. If your injury caused you to change careers, miss income, receive a lower-paying job, etc., make sure you list these losses. This will help you negotiate and collect compensation for your injuries & medical bills.
If you seek help obtaining long-term disability benefits for a personal injury, our experienced attorneys can provide highly personalized service to ensure your long-term security. It’s in your best interest to find a team that understands how to maximize the value of your case. That’s why we encourage you to contact the law firm of Wells Trumbull for a free spinal injury case evaluation today. We know how to get you the compensation you need and deserve.
The 5 Steps Involved in a Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuit You Need to Know
A serious spinal cord injury requires continuous medical attention. You may also need to speak with a lawyer about filing a claim. However, before you can file for damages and recover compensation, it’s essential to understand the basic steps involved with any spinal cord injury claim.
Don’t assume that your accident will always follow a standard pattern. There are several factors that will determine whether or not your personal injury claim is successful. The severity of your injuries, who’s responsible for the accident, and the many different ways to settle a personal injury case will play an essential factor in how your case is handled and concluded.
Whether your injury was caused by a car accident, a severe fall, a workplace injury, a truck accident, or any other type of accident, here are the five basics steps involved in your spinal injury case:
1) FIRST MEETING
When first meeting with the Wells Trumbull team, we will discuss the grounds for your possible case (determining whether negligence was involved). This will involve detailed conversation and questions about you or your loved one, the injury, the circumstances, and how the condition has impacted life.
2) DRAFT REPRESENTATION CONTRACTS
Attorneys will meet and go over the details of the contract and clarify representation for this case. It’s common for SCI attorneys to use a contingency fee agreement, meaning that the attorney does not get paid unless there is recovery through either a trial or a settlement.
Once you have agreed on a contract with your personal injury lawyer, the investigation period of your injury case begins. During this investigation, they will try to gather as much evidence as possible concerning your case. They will identify all potential avenues of recovery, including individuals, corporations, and insurance policies that are available.
4) COMMUNICATION WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANIES
Your personal injury lawyer will likely send out letters of representation to the insurance companies involved in the claim during this time. This generally consists of corresponding back and forth with each involved party, including potential defendants or witnesses who may have information about your spinal cord injury case.

– My approach on the street is simple. Show respect by getting in close without being intrusive or obnoxious. I also try to always be cognizant to photograph a location and its people from the inside. This means walking in and around the neighborhoods, some of which might not be the safest or outwardly attractive, but if it’s where most of the indigenous population lives, works, and plays then that’s where I want to be as well. I carry only two lenses in my camera bag. A 55mm and a 28mm. They keep me close to what I’m photographing. I mostly avoid the tourist areas since they usually lack cultural realism that’s not either contrived or staged for the visitors. I have nothing against tourists, but I want my images to reflect what the majority of the people that live there experience everyday. I get photographically inspired by living in and walking through the neighborhoods, experiencing and seeing the people going about their everyday lives, and interacting with one another and their surrounding environment. The evening rush hour, a bus stop, the outdoor markets, the streets and back alleys. For me, this is where the flavor of the local culture lives, and this is where I try to put myself when I shoot.

Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani on cover of MLB: The Show 22
Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim became the first Asian athlete to be featured on the cover of a major video game series in the United States, making history in his short career yet again. Ohtani also became the first member of the Angels to be featured on the cover of MLB: The Show following his historic 2021 season.
The cover reveal was a memorable one, taking place on a large 3D billboard in New York City’s Time Square.
“I was very excited by the possibility and it actually came true” Ohtani spoke to ESPN through an interpreter. “This game has a lot of history. It’s one of the only baseball games that has been out here, so it makes me want to get better on the field and live up to the hype.”
Fans can pre-order MLB The Show 22 ahead of its April 4/5 launch, and will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Ohtani’s 2021 season was officially recognized as “historically significant” when he received the commissioner’s rare Historic Achievement award, becoming the first regular two-way player since Babe Ruth: hitting 46 home runs with 100 RBIs and 26 stolen bases to go along with a 9-2 record, 3.18 ERA and 156 strikeouts. Decorations have come thick and fast as Ohtani earned the AL MVP award, as well as becoming the first player in league history to be an All-Star as both a pitcher and a hitter.
This honor comes at a crossroads for the sport and Ohtani. The game is set to be released on April 5 but there has been no settlement or collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between MLB, the owners and the players. As such the sports lockout has stretched for two months with spring training scheduled to begin in two weeks, but 40-man roster players can’t report to practise until a CBA is reached.
Regardless of what the future holds, there is no doubt that Ohtani is enjoying the present. The 27-year-old told GQ Magazine earlier this month that being the face of baseball is “welcoming to me.”
Now he’s the face of the sports’ most recognizable video game. Whenever baseball does resume, he will likely be the favorite to repeat as AL MVP.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim star and reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani can add another string to his accomplishment bow last week, an Ohtani 1-of-1 Legendary NFT sold for $100,000 on Thursday, setting the record for the largest sale of a baseball NFT.
MLB’s Candy Digital Marketplace has been open since Jan 15, and is the
NFT ecosystem” available for fans to invest in digital collectibles.
