Withdrawal. Medications and devices can help suppress withdrawal symptoms during detoxification. Detoxification is not in itself "treatment," but only the first step in the process. Patients who do not receive any further treatment after detoxification usually resume their drug use. One study of treatment facilities found that medications were used in almost 80 percent of detoxifications (SAMHSA, 2014). In November 2017, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted a new indication to an electronic stimulation device, NSS-2 Bridge, for use in helping reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms. This device is placed behind the ear and sends electrical pulses to stimulate certain brain nerves. Also, in May 2018, the FDA approved lofexidine, a non-opioid medicine designed to reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms.
More good news is that drug use and addiction are preventable. Results from NIDA-funded research have shown that prevention programs involving families, schools, communities, and the media are effective for preventing or reducing drug use and addiction. Although personal events and cultural factors affect drug use trends, when young people view drug use as harmful, they tend to decrease their drug taking. Therefore, education and outreach are key in helping people understand the possible risks of drug use. Teachers, parents, and health care providers have crucial roles in educating young people and preventing drug use and addiction. Three Approaches to Treating Addiction by Dr. Bob Weathers
Patient-centered, collaborative therapies like motivational interviewing (MI) have proven to be more effective at retaining patients in alcohol treatment than older, more confrontational styles. In a study published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence, alcoholics who received this encouraging, patient-centered form of therapy during the intake process were more likely to remain in treatment than those who were approached using traditional therapeutic styles.
Rock Solid Recovery (men’s rehab) and its sister center, Sure Haven (women’s rehab), are highly rated, intimate treatment facilities. Treatment is based on a holistic, 12-step approach. Each facility has its own complete, multidisciplinary treatment staff, allowing patients to receive the best individualized care possible. The facilities offer inpatient treatment programs ranging from 30 days to 90 days, depending on patient needs. The primary benefit of these treatment centers is their small size. The men’s facility supports 6 patients and the women’s supports 13. This allows for the specialized, highly successful treatment that these facilities are known for.
Sober living homes are best suited to those seeking transitional housing as they recover from a substance use disorder. Cost-effective, safe, sober and healthy environments provide a place to build strength in a recovery community and establish addiction recovery support groups. Outpatient Treatment is also provided at all Gateway Foundation Recovery Homes, so when it’s time to move forward, the skills and support network remain.
In many cases, symptoms of the mental health disorder appear first. As they become more and more overwhelming, the patient may attempt to “treat” those symptoms by using different drugs. For example, a patient who struggles with depression may attempt to improve their mood by taking heroin or prescription drugs. Patients who are living with anxiety may try to calm themselves by smoking marijuana. Conversely, someone dealing with an eating disorder may attempt to further their weight loss attempts by abusing stimulant drugs like cocaine or crystal meth.
Alcohol is one of the most commonly abused substances in the world. If not treated, alcohol addiction can destroy mental and physical health, derail careers, and damage personal relationships. If you or a loved one feels trapped and needs help with alcohol addiction, Passages Malibu’s world-renowned addiction treatment center could be the answer you’re looking for. We offer comfortable and effective individual addiction treatment therapy to help you end your addiction forever. Our luxury treatment program is the most sought after in the world, and we would honor the opportunity to welcome you into our facility. It’s not just the extraordinary amount of one-on-one attention you will receive, or our luxurious facility-it’s our progressive treatment philosophy that sets us significantly apart from our competitors.
“Most drugs start off being rewarding,” former National Institute on Drug Abuse Director Dr. Glen Hanson told DrugRehab.com. “That gets the person interested in them… As the addiction proceeds, then some of that shifts. It goes from the reward being the attraction to a compulsive behavior. Compulsive behaviors aren’t necessarily rewarding behaviors.”
For some people, secondary care is an essential phase between intensive treatment and rehab and a full return to normal life; this is especially likely to be the case if an addict’s home environment is dysfunctional or challenging in other ways, and the addict does not yet feel robust enough in their recovery to deal with those challenges as well as the ongoing challenge of staying drug-free. Alcohol Detox Centers Near Me Detox From Alcohol
Insurance: Many types of insurance cover the cost of addiction treatment and rehab; in particular, the Affordable Care Act requires that insurance policies issued under the state health exchanges and through Medicaid programs under the ACA expansion must provide coverage for addiction treatment. It’s important to note that insurance coverage often still requires that the individual provide a co-insurance payment, and some require a deductible be paid before treatment will be free. Specific plans may have different coverage levels, so it’s a good idea to check the specific policy or talk to the insurance provider. What happens in rehab?
As with treatment for most substance abuse problems, there are two angles to treating an alcohol problem. The first step is to break the physical dependence on alcohol. As mentioned above, cutting off alcohol after developing an addiction to it can cause withdrawal symptoms that could be severe enough to drive a patient back to drinking. For that reason, the detoxification process of treatment often involves the careful administration of drugs like anti-anxiety drugs to help wean the patient off their dependence on alcohol and through the process of acclimatizing to life without alcohol.
After the detoxification stage, you will begin rehabilitation. This involves a wide range of different therapies and treatments to help you combat drinking urges and triggers. During this stage, you will also learn coping skills that can be applied to everyday situations after leaving rehab. The rehabilitation stage may take place in an inpatient or outpatient setting, depending on the severity of your alcoholism and what your doctor recommends.
As for programme length, residential rehab usually lasts between four and twelve weeks. Many experts believe that shorter programmes do not give patients enough time to recover while longer programmes run the risk of institutionalising patients and making them fearful of returning home. The one exception for longer stays is dual diagnosis. People recovering from a dual diagnosis circumstance may require longer stays.

Drug rehab is crucial for individuals addicted to drugs. The combination of therapies and medical detox helps patients stop using illicit substances and learn how to live a sober life.The bad news is some patients may find the number of drug rehabilitation programs available to be overwhelming. The good news is there are many treatment options available so every patient can find a program that meets his needs. Coming KLEAN: Stories of Overcoming Addiction, The Documentary (Rated R)
The physician must state firmly, but empathically, that alcohol is a problem for the patient and that the patient determines the solution. Patients come for treatment through several means, often from a mixture of both coercion and concern. The clinician needs to understand the extent of resistance to effectively work with the patient. A good strategy is to learn about patients' goals and indicate discrepancies between their goals and their choices. Pointing out discrepancies is more effective initially than statements such as, "You have to quit," or, "You have to go to AA."

Nalmefene, an opiate antagonist that is similar in its chemical structure to naltrexone, is one of the most recent drugs being investigated for the treatment of alcoholism. Like naltrexone (sold as ReVia, Depade, or Vivitrol), nalmefene deprives the person struggling with substance use of the pleasurable feelings associated with drinking. But nalmefene is less toxic to the liver than naltrexone. As of 2013, nalmefene was still undergoing clinical trials through the U.S. National Institutes of Health before receiving FDA approval.

K-12 Student Data and Learning Management Systems Miss the Mark
Teachers and administrators both cited technical issues and a culture of mistrust as factors hindering more effective use of school data systems, including learning management systems and student information systems.
Most teachers are unsure about how best to incorporate data from their student information systems and learning management systems into their classroom practices, according a new report released Friday. Among the top issues cited as hindrances by teachers were technical issues and poor training.
The report, "Education Community Attitudes Toward SIS/LMS Solutions," was based on surveys and focus group sessions involving 1,726 respondents, including 1,010 teachers and 716 administrators and technology leaders at the school and district level. It was conducted and prepared by market research firm Gartner for the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) and the American Association of School Administrators (AASA). Funding was provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The researchers found that about half of teachers were satisfied with their LMS and SIS, the vast majority of them were not using these tools--especially their student information systems--in ways that have an impact on teaching and learning.
Teacher Satisfaction: SIS
Slightly less than half--46 percent--reported that they're satisfied on the whole with the SIS currently deployed at their institutions. When broken down, however, the responses showed drastic underutilization of these tools.
Fifty-one percent of teachers said they use their SIS for tracking student progress. But only 29 percent said their SIS lets them spend more time on teaching and less time on administrative tasks. Only 23 percent said data from their SIS helps them prepare classroom activities. And only 23 percent indicated they think they're getting the most value possible out of their SIS.
Just 29 percent agreed that learning how to do new things on their student information system was intuitive.
Ten factors were cited by more than half of the teachers surveyed as barriers to increased use of student information systems.
The top 5 barriers cited included:
- The student information system doesn't solve important classroom problems, cited by 71 percent of teacher respondents as a minor (31 percent) or major (40 percent) barrier;
- Weak "professional development content" (70 percent);
- Lack of shortcuts and repetitive steps to generate reports (70 percent);
- The implementation is too "one size fits all" (66 percent); and
- Too few students with Internet access outside of school (64 percent).
Additional barriers can be found in the complete report.
Teacher Satisfaction: LMS
On the LMS side, exactly half of the teacher respondents indicated they were satisfied with their school's learning management system. Broken down, teacher attitudes toward their LMS were much more positive than their attitudes toward their SIS.
Nearly two-thirds--62 percent--said the LMS in their school helps teachers be more effective. Fifty-five percent said it helps teachers save time, and 50 percent said it helps increase student achievement.
Only 34 percent said the LMS helps stimulate student creativity, but 43 percent said their LMS helps teachers be more creative. Another 46 percent said their LMS increases parent involvement, and 47 percent said it increases student motivation.
Forty-nine percent of teachers said their LMS helps them customize instruction for individual students.
There were nine factors cited by teachers as barriers to increased use of learning management systems. The top 5 included:
- Repetitive tasks with no shortcuts (cited by 65 percent of respondents);
- Weak "professional development content" (64 percent);
- Too few students with Internet access outside of school (63 percent);
- The LMS doesn't solve important classroom problems (63 percent); and
- Lack of training (59 percent).
Teachers were also asked to rate some of the characteristics of the LMS installed at their school in terms of how well their systems perform. The most poorly rated of those characteristics included:
- Tracking student attendance, with 91 percent of teachers giving their current system a negative rating in that regard;
- Managing grades (89 percent negative);
- Parent access to grades (88 percent negative);
- Parent access to student progress (86 negative);
- Generating student performance reports (86 negative);
- Speed of entering and retrieving data (83 percent negative);
- Adequacy as a tool for both teachers and students (81 percent negative); and
- Ease of use (79 percent negative).
Seventy-seven percent of teachers also indicated their LMS did a poor job of "creating an educational community between students, parents and teachers," and 70 percent indicated that their LMS is poor at letting teachers "focus on teaching instead of administrative tasks."
Administrator Attitudes: A Disconnect?
As with teachers, school and district leaders reported that their student information systems and learning management systems were, to a large degree, failing to meet their needs.
School leaders were less satisfied with both types of systems than the teachers who responded to the survey. Only 35 percent of school leaders indicated they were satisfied with their current SIS, 47 percent with their LMS. At the district level, 47 percent said they were satisfied with their SIS, and 57 percent indicated they were satisfied with their district's LMS.
The report also found that school and district leaders, as well as teachers, think the current culture in education "presents barriers to increase usage and ultimately student learning."
In the survey, 24 percent of teachers reported their SIS makes them feel like they're being monitored, while 33 percent said their LMS makes them feel monitored. Another 21 percent of teachers said they only use student information system because they are forced to use it, and 25 percent said the same of their LMS.
Related to this, district and school leaders, as well as teachers, agreed that "the current educational climate and culture breeds feelings of mistrust and a focus on content rather than teaching and learning."
The report also found a significant disconnect between administrators and teachers over training. While teachers expressed clear dissatisfaction with the training and professional development available to them, "district and school leaders report that a wide variety of training is available to encourage the use of data and integrate the results of this data into classroom practice," according to the report.
The survey found a widespread perception among school and district leaders about the availability and effectiveness of training resources that was not reflected in sentiments expressed by teachers.
About three-quarters or more of both groups cited the availability of the following training resources:
- "Instructor-led training on data interpretation and usage" (cited by 86 percent of district leaders but only 73 percent of school leaders);
- "Instructional support to help teachers use data to support their specific needs" (85 percent district leaders, 77 percent school leaders);
- "Instructor-led training used to gauge student performance" (84 percent district, 81 percent school);
- "Instructor-led training on the specifics of the solution" (76 percent both); and
- "Peer-to-peer collaboration" (80 percent district, 75 percent school).
There was also something of a disconnect between leaders a the school level and those at the district level.
Forty-six percent of school leaders cited facilitation of individualized learning as the top benefit of student information systems and learning management systems, followed by increased data access and increased collaboration at 11 percent each.
At the district level, the top benefit cited was increased data access (25 percent), followed by focused resources/efforts at 22 percent and increased collaboration at 12 percent.
Additional FIndings, Recommendations
Other findings from the report included:
- Among survey participants, 28 percent of district leaders and school leaders reported being dissatisfied with their LMS' support for state reporting requirements;
- Nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of teachers use their SIS daily, but only 36 percent use their LMS that frequently;
- But the average hours per week were lower for SIS users--4.95 hours on average versus 5.88 spent in the LMS;
- While 95 percent of respondents reported having a student information system installed in their school or district, only 50 percent reported having an LMS deployed;
- Most (79 percent) student information systems have been in place for two or more years, with 43 percent more than five years old;
- Respondents indicated that nearly half (48 percent) of the LMSes in use at their institutions have been in place between two and five years.
The report's authors recommended revising training programs for teachers, in particular addressing "actionable methods for translating data from SIS/LMS solutions into classroom practices and lessons" and "shortcuts and tips that decrease the time needed to enter and extract data."
Other recommendations included:
- When adopting a new system, develop requirements that include tools that provide easy access to data with fewer clicks, such as dashboards;
- Develop policies that "clearly communicate the value of collected data and the importance of using the data consistently across states and districts to positively impact student learning";
- Work with professional development providers to ensure that training includes a focus on translating data into action at the classroom level;
- For teachers, initiate discussions with peers through professional learning networks and "aggressively seek training (formal and collaborative) on their respective SIS/LMS solutions"; and
- For vendors, enhance tools to address the weaknesses outlined in the report.
The report was the first in a planned series of five publications focused on SIS and LMS in K-12 education. The full report, executive summary, definitions, and methodology can be accessed without charge on the Closing the Gap: Turning Data into Information site.

Zantac for Dogs Side Effects & Alternatives
Like humans, dogs may also experience gastrointestinal (GI) problems like acid reflux, gastritis, esophagitis, stomach/intestinal ulcers, and mast cell tumors. These are primarily caused by excessive production of gastric acid in your dog’s stomach.
Ranitidine, more commonly known as Zantac, is an anti-ulcer drug that is used to manage GI problems in canines. Zantac for dogs regulates gastric acid levels in your canine’s stomach, and reduces the risk of ulcers. If you want to know more about this drug and its helpful benefits to dogs, continue reading below.
What Is Zantac for Dogs?
Ranitidine, brand name Zantac, is a known histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonist that is mainly used to treat stomach and intestinal ulcers in humans, canines, and felines. Zantac for dogs is prescribed by vets to treat symptoms of gastritis, acid reflux disease, and other gastrointestinal diseases.
Ranitidine works by inhibiting histamine-2 (H2) receptors that secrete gastric acid in the stomach. Gastric acid can cause abdominal cramping, diarrhea, inflammation, and swelling. Zantac regulates gastric acid levels in the stomach to prevent these problems and minimize the risk of stomach and intestinal ulcers in dogs.
Dosage of Zantac for Dogs
Though available over the counter, it is important to note that Zantac should not be given to your dogs without proper supervision of a veterinarian. Remember, only a professional can know the cause and the severity of your dog’s illness. The recommended safe dose of Ranitidine (Zantac) for dogs is 0.25 – 1 mg per pound (lb.) to be taken every 8-12 hours.
Zantac for dogs may be administered in three ways: oral, intramuscular, and intravenous. Tablets are available in 75mg, 150mg, and 300mg dosages. These are usually taken without food for easy and fast absorption. Injectable Ranitidine is usually given to dogs that are weak, lethargic, and unable to eat.
Side-Effects of Zantac for Dogs
Ranitidine does not usually cause adverse reactions and side-effects to canines. But there are instances wherein your dog may experience the following:
- rapid breathing
- irregular heartbeat
- abdominal pain
- a sudden decrease in your dog’s platelets (thrombocytopenia)
Note that like any other medication, there is a possible risk for hypersensitivity or an allergic reaction in your dog that can be deadly. Whenever you see signs of an allergic reaction such as redness, inflammation, and difficulty breathing, contact your vet immediately.
30 pieces of Zantac 75-mg oral tablet usually costs $6 – $11 while 30 Zantac 150-mg tablets cost $12 – $13. Thirty (30) pieces of Zantac 300-mg oral tablet usually ranges from $13.5 – $16. A 6-ml Zantac 25-mg/ml injectable solution typically costs $38 – $42.
Interaction with Other Drugs
Drug interaction may alter how a medication works or increase your dog’s risk for serious reactions. It should be taken into consideration to not compromise your dogs overall health. Zantac for dogs should not be mixed with antacids and certain antifungals such as ketoconazole and itraconazole.
This should also not be administered with cephalosporins, propantheline, and other drugs that contain ranitidine and other H2 blockers (nizatidine, famotidine, cimetidine, etc.). Zantac may also interfere with certain urine protein examinations, causing false test results.
Ingredients in Zantac
The main active ingredient in Zantac is ranitidine hydrochloride (HCl), a histamine H2-receptor antagonist. This whitish granular substance is water-soluble, has a sulfur-like odor, and possesses a slightly bitter taste. Zantac also contains inactive ingredients such as hypromellose, magnesium stearate, titanium oxide, microcrystalline cellulose, titanium dioxide, triacetin, and yellow iron oxide.
Managing gastrointestinal problems in dogs can be costly and time-consuming. Medical treatments and medications can also cause adverse reactions, stress, and trauma to your beloved pup. The good thing is other remedies can be used to manage your dog’s GI problems. These alternative treatments include:
High-fat, high-protein diets should be avoided because they increase acid production in your dog’s stomach. A low-fat, high-protein diet is the most ideal diet plan to help manage GI problems in your dog. Give your pet dog foods that are high in carbohydrates such as pasta, rice, bread, and boiled potatoes with lean white meats. Avoid feeding your dog processed meats, cream, butter, and junk foods. Also, feed your dog 4-5 small, frequent meals daily to prevent or manage acid reflux.
The following herbs may also be used to manage symptoms of GI problems in dogs:
- Ginger – Ginger is a widely used herb that possesses gas-reducing and cramp-soothing properties. This powerful herb can be made into a tea to immediately soothe GI upset and other symptoms.
- Fennel seed – This can be incorporated into your pet’s food to relieve gastric spasms and other discomforts. Fennel seed is also rich in vitamins and minerals such as ascorbic acid, iron, and potassium that can improve your dog’s mood and appetite.
- Slippery Elm – This herb is rich in tannin and mucilage that reduces inflammation of the digestive mucosa and prevents acid reflux.
- Mint – This aromatic herb possesses carminative (gas-reducing) and antispasmodic properties that ease or relax the digestive tract.
Kefir is a type of fermented milk beverage packed with essential probiotics that can soothe indigestion in dogs. Unlike pasteurized cow’s milk, fermented milk (kefir) is not irritating to your dog’s GI tract.
- CBD Oil
Cannabidiol or CBD is the second most active ingredient of the hemp plant. It is extracted from the flowers, stalks, and leaves of the hemp plant. The good thing about CBD is it only contains 0.3% of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active substance in cannabis that can make your dog “high”. The extremely low levels of THC in CBD oil make it not psychoactive and safe to use.
How Does It Work?
Like humans, dogs also have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) in their bodies. This is an essential part of the digestive process that regulates different bodily functions, including digestion, gastric secretion, and bowel movement. CBD oil works by releasing certain biochemicals that boost the endocannabinoid system. This can also maintain homeostasis – or a state of balance in the body.
Cannabidiol (CBD) oil interacts with the dog’s soft muscle tissues in the digestive tract. It relaxes the peristaltic movement that moves digested food and waste products. CBD oil also reduces the secretion of hydrochloric acid as it manages burning and inflammation of the esophageal lining. CBD oil does not only target digestive ailments in dogs; it also provides a more holistic approach that can be beneficial to a dog’s overall health and wellness.
How to Use CBD Oil
The following are the different ways to administer CBD oil to your canine:
- mixing with foods and treats
- direct administration
- CBD capsules
- sublingual (under the tongue) application using a dropper
Gastrointestinal problems such as acid reflux and ulcers in dogs can cause alteration in your dog’s overall health and well-being. These should prompt you to seek immediate medical attention and help from an animal expert. Zantac for dogs is considered as the drug-of-choice for GI problems in dogs. But you can also use other alternative and more natural treatments such as CBD oil. The cannabis extract is beneficial to dogs due to its holistic approach and a more natural way of healing. Remember to use it safely and make it a habit to seek help from an expert.

Travellers on the Tube were startled by a blast from the past today as a ‘pestilence’ of 17th century plague doctors invaded the London Underground on their way to The London Dungeon, which has recently moved from London Bridge to Waterloo.
Plague doctors wore beak-shaped masks filled with sweet-smelling herbs to treat the sick during the Black Death, as they believed that the plague was transmitted by ‘bad air’. They acted as public servants during epidemics and were often not allowed to mix with the public due to the nature of their job – however, the role did have its perks. They were allowed to perform autopsies on plague victims whenever they wanted in the hope of finding a cure.
Rumour has it that the Bubonic Plague will be unleashed during a special half term event, featuring the beak-nosed doctors who roamed the streets dispensing quack cures in the 1660s.
Outbreak! at The London Dungeon runs from February 17 – 24. Should be good for a laugh if you’ve got nerves of steel, but if you’re not big on buboes, boils, rotting flesh or unsavoury odours, this might be one to avoid…

Dining Services is re-evaluating its purchasing decisions because of record-high food prices nationwide, said Todd Empanger, director of Dining Services, and it could affect the variety of fresh produce in on-campus dining locations.
The worst freeze in 60 years wiped out entire produce crops in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States, causing cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and other produce to quadruple in price.
St. Thomas is pulling back on some menu choices and listening to food vendors’ advice, Empanger said.
“Tomato supplies have dried up, and pepper prices have skyrocketed,” Empanger said. “So we are suspending purchases on a few of our produce lines and will be substituting other products.”
Students might not see as many fresh strawberries for breakfast in the cafeteria, Empanger said, because Dining Services is going to use higher-priced produce for events.
“For example, like strawberries, they go up to $40 compared to a $15 lug,” he said. “We’re still buying the fresh fruits, but just a few for higher events and we’re paying a lot higher price.”
Some students are concerned about how the limited variety will alter their dining experience.
“If there is less food to chose from, I’d feel slighted in a way,” freshman Joe McCullough said.
One thing St. Thomas students won’t have to worry about is a price increase for meal plans, because those prices are fixed and have already been decided for next year, Empanger said.
He said the Pit Stop in Koch Commons was another on-campus food venue affected by the price increase. The Pit Stop now carries a new branded product.
“They kept increasing their product cost, and their pricing, and Freshens was a branded product,” Empanger said. “We thought we could do a better job creating our own brand. So we worked with Blue Bunny ice cream to create a brand and actually lower the pricing structure because of the change and test out the market.”
Nationwide food prices climbed 0.5 percent in January, the biggest increase in more than two years.
“As is, students are struggling to pay,” sophomore David Brandes said. “Rising food prices are just going to make it harder.”
Empanger said students might have to modify what they buy at grocery stores as well.
“Buying in the grocery stores, they are going to make adjustments too when they’re looking for their favorite foods,” Empanger said. “They’re going to be like, ‘Whoa I can’t afford that.’”
He added that the effects of increasing food prices won’t disappear anytime soon.
“It’s going to be a really tough battle here I think for the next few months, just to find out until we get into the new crops,” Empanger said. “Hopefully by mid-summer it will taper off.”

Kabul: A former warlord branded the "Butcher of Kabul" made a triumphant return to the Afghan capital today, met by uneasy residents two decades after leaving the city where he stands accused of killing thousands of people.
Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, a former prime minister, has returned to mainstream political life after his dormant Hezb-i-Islami militant group signed a peace deal with President Ashraf Ghani which sparked revulsion from human rights groups and Kabul's residents.
The peace agreement inked last September marked a symbolic victory for Ghani, who has struggled to revive talks with the more powerful Taliban, but it has also fuelled fears of more political division.
Ghani greeted Hekmatyar with pomp at the presidential palace today. "Few people believed the peace efforts, would bear fruit, but today it is clear... that if there is sincere will and effort for peace it can be achieved," he said.
Hekmatyar arrived at the palace after his convoy of several hundred vehicles, mainly pickup trucks equipped with machine guns, wound its way through Kabul's main thoroughfares watched by hundreds of onlookers.
Some were supporters bearing the green party flag and flowers, singing the national anthem or chanting "Welcome to Kabul, Honourable Hekmatyar" in Pashto.
Onlooker Jamshed, who goes by one name, said the "rare happy news" meant the warlord's influence could help improve security.
But for others, his return brought memories of death and destruction in the capital rushing back.
Hekmatyar earned his bloody nickname for laying siege to Kabul during the 1992-1996 civil war, bombarding it with rockets that inflicted some of the worst damage in nearly 40 years of conflict, destroying one-third of the city and killing tens of thousands of civilians.
"He will be surprised to see Kabul rebuilt again," said one wry onlooker who did not wish to give his name.
Many, like 20-year-old metal worker Edress Arabzada, could not forget the past but were pragmatic about the future.
Hekmatyar was the "chief destroyer" of Kabul, Arabzada said, adding the warlord should apologise for the spilling the blood of innocent people.
But, he added, "we welcome his arrival to Afghanistan if it leads to peace and stability".
Cucumber seller Sayed Mohammad, 52, agreed.
"All the warlords are corrupt and have blood on their hands," he said. "But, we welcome (Hekmatyar) to Kabul because we are tired of war and conflict."
Afghanistan has suffered near-continuous fighting since the Soviet invasion of 1979, and beleaguered security forces are currently struggling to beat back the resurgent Taliban, with more than one third of the country outside government control.
Hekmatyar is the latest in a series of controversial figures that Kabul has sought to reintegrate by granting judicial immunity for past crimes, and many residents who spoke called for him to apologise and be prosecuted.
Some were more accepting of the rehabilitation of the warlords, including figures such as Abdul Rashid Dostum, currently the country's first vice president.
"Hekmatyar's arrival to Kabul will not make a difference... We want him to continue a normal life like other warlords in Afghanistan," said drinks seller Mohammad Nasim.
Hekmatyar first returned to public life on Saturday at a gathering in Laghman province, two hours east of Kabul.
At the presidential palace today he repeated calls for the Taliban to lay down their arms and hold talks, saying he would fight for their demands.
"Let's end the war, live together as brothers and then ask foreigners to leave our country," he said.
Huge billboards heralding his return sprang up around the city in the last week, but were quickly covered in paint or mud, testament to the polarising nature of the peace deal.

Are you the person who all your friends and family call when they're trying to find a good restaurant, lawyer, plumber or gardener? If that's the case and you love referring them to all the lovely businesses you know of in your neighborhood, you could start a business doing just that. You'll be able to work with individuals and businesses, helping customers find what they want, and businesses gain more clients. To get started, you will need to:
An important part of LLC formation is the registered agent. A registered agent must be a person who is located in the state in which you are forming your LLC. This is the person you designate to receive legal service of process, as well as government forms and notices, on behalf of your LLC. He or she must have a physical street address (not a P.O. box).
After you've completed the steps described above, your LLC is official. But before you open your doors for business, you need to obtain the licenses and permits that all new businesses must have to operate. These may include a business license (sometimes also referred to as a "tax registration certificate"), a federal employer identification number, a sellers' permit, or a zoning permit. For more on business licenses and permits, see the Licenses & Permits for Your Business area of Nolo's website.
Versatile Tax Status One of the most advantageous aspects of the LLC is that it has the ability to choose how it is treated as a taxable entity. According to the IRS an LLC is, by default, federally taxed as a partnership (in the case of a multi-member LLC) or as a sole proprietor (in the case of a single member LLC). The LLC, however, may elect to be taxed as a C- or S-corporation at any time the members so choose.

Mbakwe to Return for Marquette
Marquette basketball team announced today that red-shirt freshman Trevor Mbakwe has been cleared return to the team. The 6'7", 240 pound freshman forward injured his knee in the pre-season and was considered to be out for the season. Coming out of St. Paul, MN St. Bernard's high school, Mbakwe was to be relied upon to bolster Marquette's thin front line and provide much needed low post scoring.The
By returning to the Golden Eagles this season, Mbakwe forfiets his red-shirt status and his eligibility will be a sophomore next season.
"Trevor made it clear to us early in the rehabilitation process his desire to return this season and we told him that the possibility to return would be a decision made by our medical staff," said Tom Crean.
"He worked extremely hard throughout his rehabilitation and our team is excited to have him back." His return could not come at a better time with the #25 Golden Eagles (17-6, 7-5 Big East) facing #24 Pittsburgh (19-5, 7-4) Friday night in Milwaukee.
The Panthers boast a front line of Sam Young and DeJuan Blair who have been a force throughout the Big East this season. With the return of Mbakwe, Marquette now have a defensive presence to counter the Panthers' frontline.

It is now “very likely” that the UK will enter a recession before 2008 is over, the Bank of England has warned in its latest inflation report.
The central bank warns that the current health of the British economy is probably worse than it forecast back in the summer, thanks to the rise in unemployment, the banking crisis and high inflation. All these factors have taken their toil on consumer confidence, with the retail sector and housing market both suffering as a result.
The Q3 inflation report, which is the largest ever produced by the Bank of England, reiterates the general forecast that inflation will fall back significantly following its peak of 5.2% in September, as a result of cheaper oil and commodity prices.
The report paints a gloomy outlook for consumers, with the squeeze on people’s spending power initially brought on by higher household bills likely to continue. The Bank of England says that although falls in commodity prices should alleviate much of the pressure on families hit by higher energy, petrol and food bills, rising unemployment will cause a new host of problems with real incomes offset by a weaker job market.
Jonathan Loynes, chief European economist at Capital Spreads, says the inflation report – the last this year – sets a strong case for further interest rate cuts.
“November’s inflation report gives a very strong indication that the Monetary Policy Committee expects to cut interest rates much further over the coming months,” he explains.
The report’s bearish tone in part explains the extraordinary base rate cut in November, where 1.5% was shaved off the official rate of inflation - the largest cut since 1981. Most economists were only expecting a 0.5% cut, with some suggesting a full percentage point reduction at the most.
Richard Snook, senior economist at the Centre for Economics Business Research, says the report confirms its speculation that the central bank is concerned about the risk of deflation.
The Bank of England’s inflation projection admits the possibility that this could fall below 1% in 2010, and could even hit 0% if interest rates remain at 3%.
“While deflation was commonplace prior to the 20th century, it is considered to be extremely damaging in a modern economy,” says Snook. “Deflation will normally occur at a time of sharply falling demand and economic output (such as during the Great Depression) - the primary danger is that once deflationary expectations are entrenched, consumers will delay spending and businesses will delay investing as this can be done more cheaply in the future.
“As a result, deflation can contribute to downward economic spirals and turn a recession in to a deep and lasting depression.”

2011 was a great year for gamers, games such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Gears of War 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception, Portal 2, L.A. Noire, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Batman: Arkham City, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Bastion sold wonderfully and gave even the fussiest of gamers plenty of options to choose from. Today we thought we would look into the most anticipated games which will almost certainly arrive in 2012 and also give you the point of views of some top game developers.
Currently people seem most hyped about Grand Theft Auto 5, and rightly so, previous games in the series have received great reviews from critics and earned multiple ‘Game of the Year’ accolades, but if you think it’s going to be a one horse race think again.
A recent article over at EuroGamer is an interesting read, here we get a chance to see what games game developers are looking forward to, luckily they don’t mention their own upcoming titles – which means we get a true representation of what will be hot in 2012. This allows us to build upon our article back in October which was titled: ‘Best game of 2012, GTA 5 most anticipated?’.
Greg Kasavin at Supergiant Games is most looking forward to BioShock Infinite and Matthew Prior from EA Sports agrees, whilst Ivan Buchta from Bohemia Interactive can’t wait to get his hands on Dishonored as he thinks it will be very imaginative. Lee Perry from Epic Games is most looking forward to Mass Effect 3 and David Jaffe from Eat Sleep Play is most looking forward to Darksiders 2. Craig Duncan at Rare is most excited about Kinect Star Wars (which surprises us, but perhaps he is just looking forward to seeing Kinect being used for a more serious game genre), whilst Dino Patti from Playdead and Geremy Mustard from Chair Entertainment are keen to see how good a job Team Ico’s developers do with The Last Guardian. As you would imagine GTA 5 didn’t go without a mention – both Peter Molyneux from Microsoft Game Studios and Stewart Gilray from Just Add Water think this is the game which they want the most.
As you can see the opinions are pretty mixed, but one game came up more times than any other, this is Diablo 3. Ken Levine at Irrational Games, Richard Garriott (the creator of Ultima) and Brad Muir from Double Fine were looking forward to this game more than any other, the good news is that beta testing seems to be going well so Blizzard Entertainment should be able to stick to the Q1 2012 release plans.
Games which didn’t receive a mention include the next Call of Duty installment, Far Cry 3, Max Payne, Hitman: Absolution, Halo 4 and Final Fantasy XIII-2 – what games are you most shocked not to hear mentioned?
For years I have been looking forward to Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, but I must admit that I have spent so much time waiting I have lost my enthusiasm, also Ubisoft hasn’t done much of late to build the anticipation for the title, so I guess my most anticipated title of 2012 is a toss up between GTA 5 and BioShock Infinite – how about you?

Gary slusser said:imo the biggest plus to a bladder type tank is it is much smaller physically than air over water type tanks.the biggest disadvantage to air over water, is water quality issues with air over water tanks causing oxidation of certain things plus normal sediment build up in the bottom that you can’t get out.
Air over water pressure tank vs bladder.
I'm in the market for a new water pressure tank and was wondering what seems to work the best here in boquete, a bladder, diaphragm, or air/water tank.
Check pressure in the tank with your pressure gauge.
When this takes place, air will dissolve into the water and air pressure will diminish.
In fact, if it was deflated, the tank would have no water in it at all.
Then multiply this flow rate by four if you are choosing a bladder well pressure tank or a diaphragm well pressure tank.
The are 3 types of pressure tanks.
There are basically two types of pressure tanks, which are hydro pneumatic and bladder or captive air tanks. hydro pneumatic tanks.
A bladder, diaphragm, or air/water tank.
Even if the tank air pressure is too low, you should still see some air pressure at.
There is only chamber for water and air inside the tank.
If you find that water is leaking from the valve you may have a ruptured bladder and the tank will need to be replaced.
The galvanized tank system has multiple components but is pretty simple when you understand how they work.
Like the diaphragm pressure tank, this one also has two separate chambers for air and water.
Frequently asked questions (faqs) about well pressure tanks
If the tank’s internal bladder has a small leak, the tank air pressure will increase above the standard air charge pressure.
Link to comment share on other sites.
The bladder is only inflated with water and if it was deflated, the tank would not be full of water as stated.
It uses compressed air to adjust with the pressure changes by eliminating or accepting the water volume changes as it expands or contracts due to heating and cooling.

By TOM SHANAHAN
North Carolina’s Garrison Brooks was recruited from Hank Aaron’s home state of Alabama, so the All-ACC forward knows more about the Baseball Hall of Famer and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient than most people his age.
“He was a true Alabama legend on and off the field,” Brooks said. “My granddaddy always spoke of him. He said he was one of the greatest human beings someone could model themselves after.”
Aaron’s death Friday at age 86 had been announced shortly prior to Brooks taking part in a Zoom interview session. He was asked about the Tar Heels (9-5, 4-3 ACC) playing host to N.C. State (6-4, 2-3 ACC) at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Smith Center.
“It’s a tragic loss for Alabama and the world,” added the senior forward, who is from Lafayette, Ala. “I think Muhammad Ali described him as the only person he aspired to be like and that speaks volumes about who Hank Aaron was.”
Ali, “The Greatest,” actually said Aaron was, “The only man I idolize more than myself.” But certainly close enough for Brooks in a basketball setting answering a non-basketball question off the cuff.
Aaron left his hometown of Mobile, Ala., in 1951 at age 18 to play for the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro Leagues. That was just four years after Jackie Robinson opened doors by breaking the Major League Baseball color line with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
By 1954, Aaron joined the Milwaukee Braves among the rising trend of African-Americans signing to play in the MLB. One year later, Aaron made his first All-Star team and three years later led the Braves to the 1957 World Series over the New York Yankees.
The franchise moved in 1966 to Atlanta as MLB’s first team south of the Mason Dixon Line. Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s home run record of 714 with his 715th on April 8, 1974 at Fulton-County Stadium in Atlanta. Vince Scully, the Baseball Hall of Fame announcer and fellow Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, not only exclaimed the record homer into the microphone on the ABC national broadcast, he poignantly included it was done in the South. Atlanta was supposed to represent the New South, but Aaron received thousands of hate mails letters as he approached Ruth’s record. It wasn’t quite yet the New South and still has more miles to travel.
I use Henry Aaron as a basketball example. I love guys who make hard plays and make it look easy. That’s what Hank Aaron did. I don’t like guys who make an easy play and try to make it look it hard. I’ve been telling my guys that for years and years.”— UNC coach Roy Williams
Aaron retired as the home run king with 755, a title he still holds in the hearts of baseball fans (me included, and I was happy to hear Michael Wilbon say so also on Pardon the Interruption) who don’t accept Barry Bond’s steroids-inflated total of 762.
North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams also had thoughts on Aaron as he met with the media Friday about the N.C. State game.
“I loved him,” Williams said. “I use Henry Aaron as a basketball example. I love guys who make hard plays and make it look easy. That’s what Hank Aaron did. I don’t like guys who make an easy play and try to make it look it hard. I’ve been telling my guys that for years and years.”
Williams was born in 1950 in Asheville, N.C., and in the years he grew into a baseball fan, the Yankees dominated TV coverage. But it also was a time when fans like Williams knew as much about other players rarely seen on TV’s Game of the Week. They tracked players by newspaper stories and box scores, gaining more information than fans do now through ESPN highlights.
“Mickey Mantle was my favorite player. I grew up in an era with Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron and Willie Mays. I loved watching those guys. Hank Aaron was one of the best of all time and never really got true appreciation for what he did. No steroids or anything like that during that area. Fantastic player. Everything I ever heard about him my entire life was that he was a fantastic person, and I loved that part of him.”
Williams noted Aaron contributed to opening minds through his final days. Aaron had been publicly encouraging minority communities to get the COVID-19 vaccination. America’s history of secretly abusing African-Americans for medical experiments still lingers.
“He was trying to get people to understand this is OK,” Williams said. “According to news reports that I watched last night, that was one of his goals — to get more people of color to take the vaccination. He was a leader in our sports world but also in our society.”
Williams, using a sports metaphor, added he respected Aaron for the “way he handled himself, even down the stretch.”
TWO OF MY PERSONAL STORIES
In late September 1975, the Milwaukee Brewers played in Detroit. Myself and some Michigan State Wonders Hall dorm friends traveled for a midweek night game at Tiger Stadium, knowing it was one of the last chances to see a the home run king.
He had started his career in the National League with the Milwaukee Braves before the franchise moved to Atlanta. He return to Milwaukee with the Brewers was a chance to see him in American League parks.
We got there early, and Aaron was playing pepper with teammates. We watched from the front row. I can remember seeing his face joyfully smiling with his younger teammates. I don’t remember how he did at the plate that not, but I can picture that scene vividly … felt like he was looking right at us.
Another Aaron story that has stuck with me over the years was from my days as a sportswriter in San Diego.
The LA Times, probably sometime in the 1980s, had a reflective story on Aaron from his time facing a Dodgers pitching staff that included Sandy Kaufax and Don Drysdale. The writer told a story about the LA pitching coach going through the Braves’ lineup. He instructed the pitchers to throw this guy fastballs, this guy curveballs, etc. When the coach got to Aaron, all he said was, “Just try to keep it in the park.”

Awesome bread knife
Easy to use
Free shipping on all Australian orders above $125
Share your creations on Instagram with @thermomixaus
Please note some deliveries may be delayed due to COVID-based restrictions.
Your homemade breads will look like they came straight out of a traditional artisan bakehouse with just a quick flick of the baker’s lame bread dough scorer.
Modelled on the lame tool French bakers have used for centuries, with a thin and sharp curved blade and a long handle to give you ultimate cutting control, this is how to score sourdough bread like a pro. Making the perfect mark with your dough scorer allows the right amount of moisture to escape from your loaf, so it properly expands in the oven, without tearing the skin or crust.
If you’re a newcomer to this home bread making craze, cut your teeth trying out some classic decorative leaf patterns on baguettes, caraway rye loaves, or the everyday sourdough loaf recipe you’ll find on Cookidoo.
If your basic skills are already proven and you’re ready to channel your creativity, make your mark with your very own signature score. The high-quality stainless steel blades of our baker’s lame bread scorer will put you in control of exactly where you want your bread dough to open and expand.
Beware of the sharp blade. Carefully hand wash with warm water and dry directly after washing. The baker’s lame is not suitable for the dishwasher. And for your safety, we recommend keeping the blade cover on your bread dough scorer blade when it’s not in use.
Razor length: 19cm
Handle width: 2.3cm
Razor width: 2.5cm
Razor length: 4.5cm
Easy to use
I have always used a knife to slash my bread but this was so much easier to use
This knife was given as a gift and much appreciated.
Easy to use better than using a knife it doesn’t drag the dough out of shape.
I love the idea of the bread knife, however, it feels already becoming bound after only a few times using it.
Hi Beate, thanks for your feedback. We have included 5 blades with our Lame Bread Knife as well as a blade cover as the blades will blunt overtime. We are hoping the extra blades, as well as the protection, helps your Lame Bread Knife last as long as possible. If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Customer Service team and they will be able to help you.
