As I sat down to write this in Sacramento late on Sunday evening, helicopters buzzed low overhead, and large protests were once more underway, just half a mile from my home.
Several hundred protesters had been gathered near the state capitol since early afternoon, listening to speeches and nurturing a makeshift monument to George Floyd. By night, police carrying rifles were teargassing the protesters, as well as hitting them with sound grenades and round after round of rubber bullets. I could hear the shots and grenades from my house: Each time the protesters were hit, they temporarily dispersed, then reconvened, dropping to their knees and shouting George Floyd’s name or saying, “Hands up, don’t shoot!” Others, farther from the capitol grounds, were starting to break windows and loot stores once more. Similar scenes of rage—some overtly political and peaceful, others far more inchoate—were playing out simultaneously in scores of cities around the country.
The clear Signal this week is that America’s wheels have come off in an utterly devastating fashion as the world watches in horror. The country that claims to be the Grand Exception has revealed itself to be something of a Greek tragedy instead: a marvelously wealthy, successful, and dynamic country brought low by hubris and greed—by the inability of those with power and resources to empathize with or try to understand those without.
And the Noise, per usual, is a president entirely obsessed with fanning the flames in order to distract from his mishandling of a once-in-a-century pandemic.
People of all races, ages, and ethnicities, in all parts of America, have hit their moral limit. Pandemic notwithstanding, they are finding their consciences won’t let them sit on the sidelines after the Minneapolis police killing of Floyd, the racially motivated killing of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia, and the shooting death by police of Breonna Taylor as she slept in her Louisville, Ky., home. Masked, scared, and determined, many have taken their politics and their indignation to the streets. Protesters across the country are blocking freeways, surrounding government offices, and blockading police buildings, courthouses, and jails, demanding systemic change and an end to the killing, with impunity, of black Americans.
The great majority are peaceful, demonstrating with a marvelous dignity and calm. There are, however, some who are not: Every day since Friday, as darkness has fallen in Sacramento, small groups have gone on to break windows, loot stores, and smash up cars. Each time the police hit the protesters at the capitol, some have veered off into the nearby streets and shattered additional restaurant and storefront windows. The same situation is unfolding in other cities, including Santa Monica, Atlanta, New York, Louisville, and of course, Minneapolis.

Clarence Thomas Broke the Law. Why Is He Not Being Prosecuted?
In such a moment, the country cries out for presidential words of healing and humility. We need a philosophical and historical appraisal of how an event like Floyd’s killing could become run-of-the-mill. Instead, Donald Trump—that vuvuzela of vitriol—continues to dole out self-serving, bombastic tweets.
What kind of a man thinks it a good idea, at a tinderbox moment like this, to quote the “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” 1967 catchphrase from an archsegregationist Florida police chief? What kind of a man boasts of “vicious dogs” and “ominous weapons” awaiting protesters who breached the White House security perimeter or lusts after the chance to unleash military personnel and weaponry against Americans? Just weeks after declaring that the armed militia members in Michigan who have threatened to lynch their governor were “very good people,” Trump tweeted that the loosely defined group known as antifa should now be defined as terrorists.
On Monday he berated governors during a conference call, telling them that they needed to “dominate” protesters. Later that day, Trump threatened to unleash the US military domestically; NBC News reported that he plans to do this by invoking the 1807 Insurrection Act. As he made this announcement—as well as a claim to be “your law-and-order president”—he posed for a photo op in front of a historic church opposite the White House while police brutally dispersed nonviolent protesters and journalists from around the world.
None of this is helpful. None of it meets the enormous needs of this historic moment. This is a crisis crying out for the soaring rhetoric that Barack Obama displayed in his Philadelphia speech on race, delivered while he was a presidential candidate in 2008, or when he sang “Amazing Grace” in Charleston, S.C., in the aftermath of the racially motivated church shooting in 2015. Instead, we have a president whose rhetorical abilities are so dumbed down that the most he can say is that “MAGA loves the black people,” thus managing to be both condescending and dishonest at the same time.
On Saturday night, just a few hundred meters from my house, some people smashed storefront windows and ransacked shops. A phalanx of police officers tossed stun grenades and fired rubber bullets at the furious crowds. Police cars raced down our streets, sirens blaring. Young white men materialized on our street, seemingly with a vigilante bent. When I stepped out onto the sidewalk, one said to me that the “ghetto bunnies” were only two blocks away.
I’d be lying if I said the whole scene wasn’t terrifying. The breakdown of order. The collapse into warring tribes and gangs. The militarized police response. The assumption by some that the wanton destruction of other people’s property and livelihoods is somehow a progressive political statement. This moment is laden not just with pent-up fury at Trump but also a history of racial and economic injustice, fear of a deadly pandemic, grief over the more than 100,000 Americans who have so far died of Covid-19, and instability as tens of millions of livelihoods go down the toilet.
Now, with the United States facing its gravest crisis of nationwide civic unrest since Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, the only response to emanate from the White House is more distractions and noise. We see no soaring rhetoric, no attempt to listen and to learn, and no words of moral urgency.
I was 17 years old in 1989, when the USSR and its satellite states collapsed first into chaos, then into historical oblivion. A few years earlier, it would have been entirely inconceivable to contemplate a world without the country that was called the Soviet Union—without its vast geopolitical power, its ability to bend history to its whim. And then the inconceivable happened.
Is 2020 the United States’ 1989? It’s hard to imagine such a scenario. But it’s also becoming more impossible by the day to imagine that we will find a peaceful exit strategy from the consequences of Trump’s corrupt, venal, and desperately unempathetic presidency.
This moment is filled with sickness, economic devastation, and growing violence and confrontation. There is a nihilism blossoming on the streets of America’s cities. We cannot sit on the sidelines and just hope against hope that everything doesn’t go up in flames.


As you are learning to sew, there are some questions that may seem very basic to those more experienced, but when you’re learning, you want to be able to ask the question without seeming ignorant.
When I was learning to sew, this was one of those questions. I mean, I knew I needed to stitch the zipper into each side of the garment or project but, what if I had a seam that was supposed to go across both sides?
You can sew over a zipper if needed. You will want to make sure the needle doesn’t come into contact with the zipper teeth. This could cause the needle to break. Go slowly up to the zipper edge, raise the foot, pass over the zipper, and then proceed to sew.
Once you have sewn over the zipper, in order for the zipper to function properly you’ll want to cut the excess thread from where you went over the zipper. This will allow it to open and close more easily.
Let’s explore some common types of zippers.
What Is a Zipper?
A zipper refers to a device that is used in fabrics to bind the edges of their opening. It can be used for easy opening and closing of all kinds of bags as well as pieces of clothing (wikiZipper).
Types of Zippers
The four most commonly known types of zippers are coil zippers, stamped metal zippers, invisible zippers, and molded plastic zippers. There are also other types of zippers such as open ended and magnetic zippers.
These are the most common type of zippers know across the world. The teeth of the coils are formed from polyester and stitched into the tape. These zippers are a good choice for lightweight materials (i.e. dresses and jackets) (doitbetteryourself).
When coil zippers are used, they rarely stand out and therefore are the best choice for pockets and bags. Nylon can also be used to make the teeth, although polyester is the more preferred material.
There is a variety of coil zippers called the reverse coil zipper. As the name suggests, it is opposite of a regular coil zipper. The flat side of the zipper is the slider and the coil is on the back. The slider of this zipper accommodates a variety of pulls and the stitching is shown on the front (wikiZipper).
As the name suggests, the teeth of this kind of zipper are metallic, the metal pieces are individually configured to shape and then clamped on regular intervals for similarity on the tape and are usually parallel.
Metals used in making this kind of zippers include, aluminum, nickel and brass, because of this, metal zippers are usually heavier than any other kind of zippers (wikiZipper).
They are a great choice for fabrics like jeans wear, duffle bags and leather projects due to their ability to withstand tough washing (doitbetteryourself).
Invisible zipper teeth are hidden on the backside of the tape and the color of its slider and the tape matches that of the fabric in order to hide the zipper itself.
It is commonly used on dresses and skirts, and can also be used by the emergency services and military due to their convenience and ability to be hidden. The tape of this zipper uses a light fabric and therefore it is suitable for most occasions (wikiZipper).
Molded Plastic Zippers
Molded plastic zippers have teeth made of (you guessed it) plastic. Their construction is the same as metal zippers but they are more versatile in terms of color because they can be made in any color needed to match the material around them.
The teeth are directly melted into the tape of the zipper making them a little bit stiffer as compared to the coil zippers. These kinds are best useful in children fabrics, small plastic pouches and pencil cases (wikiZipper).
Reasons You Might Want To Sew Over Zippers
Zippers make life easier for the most part:
- They are easier and more convenient
- They don’t rust or stick
- They don’t snag
- They are waterproof
- They come in all colors
Sewing Over Plastic Zippers
Plastic zippers are best when used in jackets and pouches. When sewing over a plastic zipper, ensure that the zipper is the right length. If not, mark the required length and the extra teeth can be pulled by needle nosed pliers (doitbetteryourself).
After you get the right length, mark seams on the zipper and ensure that they are the same on both sides of the zipper.
Place your zipper on one edge of your project (and while doing this, make sure that the markers fit the seams), sew through from one end to the other. If you like you can sew again on top of the stitch in layers and then cut the extra thread. After that, you can sew the other side using the same procedure.
Sewing Over Metal Zippers
If you want to sew over a metal zipper, you need to know some specifics about what you need in terms of their size and the size of their teeth.
You have two options when sewing a metal zipper:
- Stitch up the zipper, do the backstitching, repeat on both sides and cut the threads.
- Sew through the zipper teeth: hand crank slowly and ensure the needle slips into the teeth. Repeat until you have passed the zipper (sewcanshe).
Be sure to use heavy scissors to cut away unwanted parts of the zipper. The metal teeth will damage anything small. Use pliers to remove the extra teeth if desired.
Quick Tips for Sewing a Zipper
The method you choose for sewing a zipper depends on what kind of zipper you have chosen for your project. That being said, the central seam method is the most common method of sewing a zipper. There are simple steps to follow in this method:
- Acquire your zipper and ensure it is the length you need.
- Finish the edges of the fabric that will be used to bind the zipper. When using the regular machine, you can finish the edges with a simple zigzag pattern and while using a serger, ensure that the edges are not too short as that will hinder the insertion of the zipper.
- Identify the part that will be open for the zipper, (should be a wide length) then stitch it.
- Press the seam allowance open. This is after you have turned to the inside of the fabric side.
- Locate the zipper facing down on the inside of the fabric side along the basted seam, then start to align the raw edge with the zipper top.
- In order to put the zipper perfectly in its place, make sure that at the back is the temporary tape placed at intervals across the zipper.
- At the end of the metal retainer bar, place a pin across in order to avoid hitting any metals with a needle.
- Ensure that the needle is able to sew and is on the right side for sewing the zipper.
- Stitch the zipper by starting on a certain side and stitch from up to down, then move to the other side of the zipper and similarly stitch from up to down, In order to secure the end, you can sew more of the rows on each stitch on both sides
- In order to easily open and close the zip with the required length, open the seam using the seam ripper.

I wanted to scratch a few things off my winter bucket list before leaving Colorado and going back to Florida—so my friend Kristen and I made a trip to Ouray, Colorado for snowboarding, ice skating, and more!
Our original plan was to do ALL of the activities in Ouray, but the lack of snow said otherwise. We were there from December 14th through the 18th and normally they have enough snow by then, but not this year. So, we ended up visiting Telluride, Silverton, and some other places instead.
Overall, Ouray is a really cute town, with amazing views in every direction. The town itself is tiny, but there are tons of places to shop, hang out, and eat.
Not to mention, Ouray is only about an hour from Telluride and Silverton, and 15 minutes from Ridgway, making it perfect for day trips too!
Picturesque Cabin Life
Our cabin had all of the basic necessities, with a separate bathroom and shower area, hot tubs, and convenience store all in short walking distance.
I was surprised it had a TV and WiFi, which was great because we binged a ton of Christmas movies. 🎄
Oscar 🐶 and I really enjoyed walking along the river every morning.
Snowboarding in Silverton
I look a lot happier in these photos than I actually was… 😂 Spent a lot of time on my butt that day. BUT I got to ride a ski lift for the first time!
Ice Skating in Telluride
We took a little mini day trip to Telluride so we could ice skate for the first time! It went much better than snowboarding did 🙃
Basking in the Hot Springs
My first time in a hot spring! It was very much needed after all our activities this week. They had three different pools with different temperature levels which was nice. We rotated around after getting too hot/cold.
Driving the Million Dollar Highway
I wish I got more photos of the drive cause it was EPIC (and kinda scary at points)—but I was a little car sick being a passenger. 😅
Anyway, it’s well worth the drive if you have a chance. I have to say it has been my favorite drive within Colorado so far, especially when covered in snow—it becomes a Winter Wonderland. ☃

Global primary market sukuk issuances experienced a 31.4% month-on-month decline in July, as corporate issuances stalled on account of the Islamic month of Ramadan. July issuances amounted to $7.95bn according to Kuwait Finance House, down from $11.6bn in June.
Corporate issuers throughout the global markets remained absent from the primary market with the exception of few corporate sukuks issued in Malaysia and a sole corporate sukuk issued in Indonesia.
Collectively, these corporate sukuks produced a volume of $1.16bln or less than 15% of the new issuances market share in July as compared to the bumper $5.24bln volume or 45.3% market share in June.
On the other hand, the sovereign and quasi-sovereign issuers steered the market with a $6.79bln volume or 85.4% primary market share. Notably, the two global Islamic finance mandated multilateral entities, the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) and the International Islamic Liquidity Management Corporation (IILM) tapped the market in July, raising $1.86bn.
The IDB issued a $1bn tranche on 17th July in a privately placed transaction as part of its upsized $10bn medium-term note programme which it had announced and received approvals for last year. The latest issue marks IDB’s third issuance this year following the $1.5bn publicly-listed tranche in March and a privately placed $100mn tranche in April.
Meanwhile, the IILM issued its third $860mn tranche, as a re-issuance for the second tranche of the same volume issued earlier in April this year and that matured on 23rd July. This latest issuance marks IILM’s seventh issuance to date since its inaugural issuance in August last year. The reissuance maintains IILM’s total short term sukuk outstanding portfolio at $1.35bn.
However, the most important limelight of the month lies in the debut of the Sub-Saharan African nation of Senegal in the global sukuk market. The Government of Senegal priced its maiden sovereign sukuk deal on 18th July, worth West Africa CFA Franc (XOF) 100bln which is equivalent to approximately $200.5mn.
Overall, the global primary market volume has reached $74.15bn in seven months ended July 2014, 6.8% higher than the $69.42bn volume in July 2013. Despite a decline in corporate issuances in July, sovereign and quasi-sovereign issuers have steered the market to ensure 2014’s annual issuances to date remain on track to overcome last year’s annual issuances volume of $119.7bn.
Analysing by the country of sukuk origination, the primary market activity was heavily concentrated in Malaysia which accounted for 80.6% or $6.41bn of the total new issuances in July.
The Malaysian market was spearheaded by Bank Negara Malaysia, which issued over USD3.4bln worth of short-term maturity sukuk. Approximately $931m was also raised by two Malaysian government-related entities, Dana Infra Nasional Berhad ($787.6mln) and Cagamas Behard ($144.5m). In the Malaysian corporate sukuk sector, five issuers tapped the market in July collectively raising $1.14bn in proceeds.

Ben Carson has done the unthinkable. Well, ok. It’s the unthinkable according to Donald Trump. Ben Carson, in a new national poll released by NBC/Wall Street Journal, has overtaken Donald Trump. It’s not just that he’s overtaken Trump. It’s that he’s overtaken Trump and done so outside of the margin of error…which means that for all intents and purposes, all of the hype in Iowa about Ben Carson winning the state and leading The Donald, is probably true.
Of course, Trump isn’t about to cave and go away any time soon. He’s willing to fight it out and spend more of his money (not that he’s had to spend a lot of it already!) to re-gain the top spot. And while I will say it’s usually rare for a front-runner in a GOP primary to lose the top spot and then regain it, I am smart enough to realize this year isn’t like most years and anything can happen. I’ve already strapped in for a wild ride.
Trump came out with the statement that Ben Carson doesn’t have the temperament to be president. Now, let’s examine that for a moment. You have Trump, whom I assume believes he DOES have the temperament to be president, being bombastic, loud-mouthed, and brash, as he always is. And he’s saying that the mild-mannered, well-spoken, well-thought out words of Ben Carson how he doesn’t have the temperament? Am I missing something here or are we living in an alternate reality like in Back To The Future?
If anything, I would have to assert at this point, that Ben Carson is actually acting a lot MORE presidential than Trump is. I would have to say that Jeb Bush, for all his troubles is acting more presidential than Donald Trump is. But isn’t that why Trump is in the lead….er….WAS in the lead up until this point? Weren’t the American voters (at least the Republicans), tired of the same old leadership at the top, and ready to shake things up? That’s what I thought the whole “outsider movement” was about. The Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson trilogy, with no prior political experience was exactly what the electorate wanted!
So, maybe Trump has something. Frankly, I don’t know if I could take four years, or certainly eight years of Donald Trump on the evening news every night. Hell, I could barely get through 13 weeks of The Celebrity Apprentice! As I said, I think it was yesterday, we need to start paring the field. We need to start getting a little more selective as to whom are involved in these debates (and that’s a whole other issue!), and start figuring out which of these folks is going to represent the GOP come next year.
My feeling is that yes, it will shake itself out…but I guess I’m too anxious. And as for Trump, we all thought he’d be gone by now. We all thought he’d be back in Trump Tower getting ready for another reality TV show about himself. Because, like the GEICO ads, that’s what he does. He doesn’t run for president.
Carry on world…you’re dismissed!

Metallic wire sculpture •SEE ON GOOGLE MAP
Born and raised in Magog, in the countryside. Everything around me fascinated me, like the details on a butterfly wing or rust on metal. What stimulates my creative mind is to bring out the beauty in something ordinary, ugly or useless by integrating it into a sculpture. Or simply sublimate an element already created by nature and give them a new identity. Equestrian owner and rider for 30 years and veterinarian assistant for 20 years, I have a deep attachment for animals and this is reflected in my works of art. After obtaining a college diploma in plastic art at Sherbrooke, I continued to develop mu art in self-taught way. It’s by tin welding of galvanized steel wire, copper and brass that i finally found my ”way”. ”Beauty in details” is an expression that represents my work well.

Proper iodine is needed for the thyroid gland to work for producing enough TH for the body need. If you are taking low sodium diet you need to increase your intake through diet. Since seaweed is especially high in iodine so you should not eat it every day of the week because this too much iodine is harmful for the thyroid as the too little is harmful by worsening the hypothyroidism.
For getting big benefits of seaweed the patient has to stick to one fresh seaweed salad per week and steering clear of seaweed teas and supplements.
Fish is a rich source of selenium that is most concentrated in thyroid and also decreases inflammation. Fatty Fish contains Omega 3 fatty acids that are Salmon, Tuna, and trout. The unmanaged hypothyroidism increases the risk of heart disease that results in higher levels of low density lipo-protein (LDL).These omega-3s helps in decreasing inflammation, increases the immunity and lowers the risk of heart disease.
Another source of selenium are nuts. Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts these are rich source of selenium that helps the thyroid to function properly. Nuts are also rich in high content of fats.
5. Whole Grains
Bread, cereal, rice are rich in nutrients in addition to fibres which results in proper bowel regularity because constipation is the most common symptom of hypothyroidism. The recommendation is only to take medication several hours before or after the meals.
Beans the rich source for sustained great energy in hypothyroidism. Beans contains antioxidants, complex carbohydrates, proteins and lots of vitamins and minerals. These are also rich in fibres that reduce the symptoms of constipation in hypothyroidism
7. Fruits and Vegetables
The most common symptom of hypothyroidism is weight gain. Low calorie diet, high density foods are helpful in gaining weight. Vegetables such as Broccoli and cabbage helps in reducing the risk of thyroid by absorbing thyroid that helps the thyroid to work properly.
Fruits such as Sweet potatoes, cherries, Blueberries and green peppers are rich in antioxidant property that helps in lowering the risk of heart disease
- Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A vitamin C, Vitamin B1 and B2 and are good source of fiber diet and potassium.
- Cherries: It contains 3 grams of fibre, that helps in digestion, lowers cholesterol, controls blood sugar. It is also rich in Vitamin A, calcium, protein and iron also help with weight loss.
- Blueberries: They are rich source of carbohydrates and also contains many important nutrients. It is low in calories but rich in fiber, and rich in vitamin C and vitamin K.
- Green Peppers: They are low in calories, but are loaded with good nutrients. They are rich in vitamin A and Vitamin C, Potassium Folic acid and fiber.

In the winter, your dog is allowed to eat popsicles. However, in the summer, you should not feed a popsicle to your dog. Dogs love eating things that are sweet, and if it is a hot day and you have a popsicle in hand your dog will be begging for a bite. Just remember that as tasty as popsicles are for us humans, they can make dogs very sick!
In the summer, dogs should not be eating popsicles.
Dogs can get very sick if they eat popsicles because of all the sugar in them. Sugary treats are bad for dogs because dogs do not need any extra sugar in their diets. If a dog eats a lot of treats that contain too much sugar, it can lead to obesity and other health problems like diabetes or tooth decay.
Dogs can also injure themselves by eating popsicles if they don’t know how to properly hold them without hurting themselves or others around them.
The dog would not know to stop eating a popsicle and could become very sick.
As a general rule, dogs should not eat popsicles. Though some might be tempted to give their dog a taste of whatever they’re eating themselves, consider that even the best-intentioned pet owner can’t know what’s in their drink or food.
As tempting as it may be to share your favorite treat with your pup, it’s important to remember that dogs are not used to eating foods meant for humans. Though they may try different types of human food out of curiosity, that doesn’t mean they’ll enjoy them or know how much is enough. Popsicles are hard for dogs’ stomachs and digestive tracts to digest—they also contain sugar and artificial colors and flavors that can be harmful when consumed by animals who aren’t used to them.
If you want your dog safe from harm (and yourself), don’t give her any type of popsicle!
You should give your dog treats that are specially made for dogs.
Your dog needs a balanced diet. A treat should be given in moderation and only after a walk or any other exercise, not as a substitute for food. Generally speaking, you should avoid giving your dog human food unless it was specially made for dogs (or if it’s an emergency).
The best treats are those that contain some meat or fish and no added sugar. Avoid giving them chocolate, raisins and grapes as they could be fatal to dogs! You should also check the packaging of any treats before you buy them – some brands use artificial ingredients which aren’t good for your pet’s health.
To summarize, you have plenty of options when it comes to giving your dog a frozen treat. Just be sure to stick with unsweetened yogurt and fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and bananas—and never give your dog popsicles that contain chocolate or other unhealthy ingredients like xylitol. These treats can be enjoyed on a hot day or as a way to help teething puppies on the road to good dental hygiene!

Sheriff’s investigators continued studying video and following tips Tuesday to find the three individuals who defaced the Denton County Confederate Soldier Memorial outside the Courthouse on the Square.
No suspects have been identified yet, but the incident has reignited controversy surrounding the memorial statue. Sometime early Monday morning, vandals scrawled the words “This is racist” in red paint across the top of the monument.
Now, the community is discussing once again what, if anything, to do with the memorial.
“The Criminal Investigations Division is continuing to review videos and tips,” said Sandi Brackeen, spokeswoman for the Denton County Sheriff’s Office. “We have received several tips and would encourage anyone that may have information, no matter how small, to call our office.
“Our office has reached out to the local businesses in the downtown area requesting video. If someone has a video and we have not made contact with them, please contact us.”
The monument, meanwhile, was all clean by Tuesday and awaiting the finishing touch, a sealant to be applied to the stone surface, according to Peggy Riddle, executive director of the Denton County Office of History and Culture.
A handful of Denton residents spoke out against the monument during Tuesday morning’s Commissioners Court meeting. Commissioners did not respond, however, because they are prohibited from commenting on issues not on the meeting agenda.
Willie Hudspeth, who was among the speakers, said after the meeting that the vandalism incident will keep the conversation about the memorial going.
“We need to do something about items, whatever they are, that conjure up feelings or cause one to think less of himself or the country or want to do things that are negative,” he said.
Hudspeth, who is black, has repeatedly said the Confederate memorial is offensive because the Confederacy fought the Civil War to preserve slavery throughout the South. He staged a protest at the monument Monday evening and though he was confronted by a man with a loaded rifle, he said he heard from people with moderate and extreme views on both sides of the argument.
Hudspeth said in lieu of moving the statue, a move he has championed for years, that plaques be altered to give a fuller picture of the history of the monument, Confederacy and soldiers. Hudspeth said he also wanted to see the water fountains on both support columns fixed and functioning.
Denton County Judge Mary Horn, who presides over the Commissioners Court, is adamant that the fountains do not work and never worked and have no water lines. She noted as well that county officials worked with Hudspeth years ago to add a plaque to the memorial.
“The wording that is on the post beside the memorial right now is something [Hudspeth] worked on and came up with and agreed to,” she said in an interview Tuesday. “A year from now, is someone going to want more wording because they aren’t happy with [Hudspeth’s] wording? Where does it stop?”
People are forgetting to take a look at the monument, Horn said.
“At the top, it’s about the soldiers,” she said. “We have other monuments around the country [like] the Vietnam wall in Washington, D.C. A lot of people protested that war.”
No one on the Commissioners Court has mentioned a desire to make any changes to the monument, Horn said.
“I don’t look for anything to change. Taking down the statue is not going to change history,” she said. “I would remind people to take a better look at it. It’s about the soldiers who lost their lives — they came in more than one color, for sure.”
Several activists, at least two with loaded weapons, gathered at the statue Tuesday evening to display their devotion to Second Amendment rights and to show solidarity in their support for the Confederate memorial.
It was a light crowd, and there were no counterprotesters. A Denton police officer was dispatched to the statue because a caller was concerned with the display, but the officer said the situation was under control and soon left the scene.
Ian McDougal, who brought his loaded AR-15 and a “Don’t Tread on Me” flag, kept up with Monday’s events and wanted to get a word in on the matter.
“We felt compelled after the events of yesterday,” he said. “It kind of surprised me that here in Denton, of all places, we could see something so disregarding of history. What kind of message are you trying to send by writing ‘This is racist’ without even understanding the history of the monument?”
Denton resident Olivia Sudduth and her three young daughters stopped by for a photograph with McDougal. She said she hadn’t been aware of the protest or vandalism on Monday. Instead, she was there to educate her children on Confederate history.
“I was explaining to them about this memorial and how important it is we remember all forms of history, and not to be afraid of history — even the ugly parts,” Sudduth said. “I decided that it was really important, considering what is going on in our country, that I show them the history that is a part of our country.”

21 Jan 4 Ways LEDs Enhance Environmental Control
How do LEDs Benefit Greenhouses?
A major benefit of implementing LED systems in a greenhouse is the reduction in overall operating costs. The reduction in costs can be seen in the form of energy efficiency, rebates, labor costs and enhanced control of the environment. Altogether, they represent a superior value proposition for greenhouse growers who are looking to retrofit their facilities. The ability to control the environment through lighting technology is most critical to production—and often difficult to get right.
A solid understanding of how LED lights can improve environmental control is essential before, during, and after a retrofit. Here are four ways in which LEDs enhance environmental control for improved crop quality and yield.
1. Improved Greenhouse Management
HPS lights produce a significant amount of heat. However, when they are turned off, the resulting changes in the environment can leave crops more vulnerable to condensation and pathogens as they cool faster than other surfaces. This poses obvious but avoidable risks.
Under LED lights, the environment is less affected by heat produced from lighting, relying instead on the more precise HVAC system designed exactly for the management of maintaining set points in temperature and humidity. This enhanced stability from LEDs ultimately translates to less condensation on plants, reduced water use and less dehumidification venting.
2. Efficiency in Environmental Control
The ambient temperature in a greenhouse also plays a major role in the physiological functions and pollen development of certain crops such as cucumbers and tomatoes. With HPS systems, it is far more costly and difficult to maintain adequate heat levels, leading to fluctuations that stress plants.
It is also worth noting that because LEDs emit less heat in the form of infrared radiation, LED systems provide greater opportunities to use supplemental lighting at times that wouldn’t be possible with HPS without risking plant health. While HPS lamps may perform two different tasks–both lighting and heating, they accomplish neither task particularly well and represent a far greater danger to plants should they fail. Ultimately, maintaining optimal temperatures should be the responsibility of the HVAC system.
An LED retrofit may require the addition of a heating system, but growers will often see reduced heating loads overall and, more importantly, favor their increased control of their environments.
3. Improved Environmental Safety
As PPFD increases, maintaining supplemental CO2 levels is critical to maximizing photobiological responses and overall production. A concentration of 800 to 1,000 ppm is often the optimal range for most crops to promote flowering and improve yields. However, growers who use HPS lights must vent their greenhouses either to dehumidify or cool their environments, creating wild fluctuations in temperature, humidity and CO2 levels.
LED systems decrease the need for venting, which allows for better climate control, CO2 preservation, increased photosynthesis, improved morphology and lower disease occurrence. For those dealing with light pollution regulations and/or using ceiling curtains, LEDs provide the added benefit of lowering the risk of overheating or causing fires, which can translate to reduced insurance premiums
4. Increased Profitability and Plant Growth
HPS lights in traditional greenhouses supplemented crops upwards of 200 to 250 micromoles (µmol/m2/s). However, researchers studying the effects of LEDs are increasingly noting higher saturation points of many crops, creating new pathways to improve profitability for growers. An LED retrofit facilitates higher PPFD and improved production and growth.
Studies show that increasing PPFD also increases crop weight until the saturation point. In many cases, a 1% rise in PPFD has translated to a 1% increase in yield.
Today, cultivators are tapping into these findings and pushing PPFD levels as high as 300 micromoles (µmol/m2/s). When a facility replaces an HPS system with an LED system of similar wattage, supplementation capacity nearly doubles.
Fluence Lighting Experts are Here to Help
Understanding the benefits of LED systems on crop quality and yield is simple. Identifying and deploying the cultivation strategy that is best for your greenhouse is more challenging. That’s where Fluence excels.

Crews took advantage of a relatively quiet Friday to patrol and contain sections of the Numbers Fire perimeter. Weather concerns remain as crews continue monitoring and securing the fireline. Increased westerly winds are anticipated today, with gusts up to 30 miles per hour near the fire. A National Weather Service Fire Weather Watch is in place, primarily for Sunday and Monday. Conditions remain hot and dry, which means the potential for fire activity remains high for any existing embers or new fire starts.
Numerous aviation resources are required to support firefighters on wildland fires located in steep terrain and require a number of personnel to camp near the fire or in remote areas. For example, on a high fire activity day during the Numbers Fire, seven helicopters provided an average of 30 hours of suppression and logistical support to include water bucket drops and the movement of food and supplies to support firefighters on the ground. Keeping this high aviation use in mind, it is important for recreational users who fly model airplanes or drones, to know before you fly. The Federal Aviation Administration now has an improved app with interactive maps – B4UFLY, https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/where_can_i_fly/b4ufly/ – to help show where the public can and cannot fly. Wildland fire managers appreciate the public’s support to ensure the safety of all fire personnel.
Wildland fire personnel will continue working hard over the weekend to ensure public safety and the protection of cultural resources and wildlife habitat. Heavy equipment is tasked with suppression repair work of dozer lines where containment has been secured.
Please be aware of increased fire traffic in these areas, especially during the morning and evening hours, and limit use of Pinenut 2 and Blossom Canyon Roads to residents only. Thank you for the ongoing community support.

A stallholder who was giving three kittens to good homes (I forced myself not to look, otherwise I'd have taken them all...) sold me these two, slim bark cloth curtains for 1€50.
I love the pattern on them, and Ben seems rather impressed too - he likes good workmanship and I think he approves of this textured fabric, which he hasn't really seen before. I picked the rusty curtain hooks and the beautifully-stitched pleats out, and the fabric has washed and ironed beautifully. Now what, I wonder?
This isn't a very special kitchen canister but it looks a bit like some others I have so is now on display with them. It might be a useful store for plastic lids before recycling, too.Never pass up a decent mirror for under 4€, should be the motto of anyone who lives in a dark house...
And finally, a pretty lining, added rather inexpertly, to an earlier and better-made, hand-crafted box.
So it's goodbye from me, and it's goodbye from the Speckledy Hen.

This has been a positive economic week in Montgomery with Hyundai promising thousands of jobs in the future. But now, the future of many Baptist Health employees appears uncertain. Health officials say the lack of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement money for hospitals is forcing job cuts in the Baptist Health System.
Friday, spokeswoman Angela Wells of Baptist Health confirmed the system is looking at an untold number of layoffs across the system. Angela Wells says it's not certain how many people will be laid off, which positions will be affected, or when the cuts will come. But, cuts will happen.
Wells says she believes most of the lay-offs will affect non-clinical positions - meaning few, if any, nurses will be affected. She went on to say the cuts are the result of the difficult financial times hospitals are experiencing nationwide compounded by less reimbursements for medical procedures and treatments performed at the hospitals.
Randall Hoover, president and chief executive officer of Baptist Health said , "Baptist Health is facing a reduction in force, the scope of which is still being determined. "
In his statement, Hoover went on to say, "Our first priority is communicating with our employees and medical staff. Once decisions have been made, an official announcement will follow. "

Chua and Paul Thao, of Empire Farm in Jay, have been farming in Oklahoma 12-13 years and selling at the Tahlequah Farmers' Market just about as long, according to their son, Peter.
"My parents used to farm back in Thailand and Laos, so they brought the skills they grew up with over to the states," said Peter.
Laos is the birthplace of both his parents.
"They could never use those [skills] in the states until they moved from California to a place with more room such as Oklahoma," said Peter.
The Thaos enjoy farming and watching the plants grow and bear fruit.
Farming is a year-round activity, and when it's winter and spring, they prepare seeds, and there isn't really a day of doing nothing.
"I enjoy farming to a smaller degree and I enjoy reading, as well as playing games," he said. "I do not plan to carry on the family farm, but I will grow vegetables for my family later in life."
The farm is full-time work for both of the parents. Peter is a Northeastern State University information systems student, but he helps when he can.
Most weekends, he and his mom bring the produce to the market in Tahlequah. Last week, they were on vacation and dad delivered the homegrown veggies to smiling customers.
"We grow many different things and we are also planning on bringing some shiitake mushrooms maybe sometime late fall or next year," he said. "We usually sell what sells the best, but we also grow different things to see how the market reacts and to see if it sticks."
The boba tea is new this year.
"The reason we decided to do it is because I saw it as a potential side to the vegetables we are selling. It's going well so far and hopefully gets busier during the summer," Peter said.
The Empire Farm booth is a regular on the front corner under the Leoser Pavilion.
"If you ever want fresh veggies, just come by the Farmers' Market and we'll sell you some," he said, "or the farm in Jay."
Last Saturday morning, Sue McMurray and Jeannie Harding, both of Tahlequah, were among the shoppers enjoying the traditional Celtic music of Mike Allen's bagpipe and harp. They chatted with friends while perusing the many vendor booths: veggies, breads and pastries, beef, jewelry, elderberry plants, wine, essential oils and more.
"We like the fresh produce and variety of products," said McMurray. "We also like to support the local economies, and we really enjoy the music."

Philip Larkin was born in Coventry, England in 1922.
He earned his BA from St. John’s College, Oxford, where he
befriended novelist and poet Kingsley Amis and finished with
First Class Honours in English.
After graduating, Larkin undertook professional studies to
become a librarian.
He worked in libraries his entire life, first in Shropshire and
Leicester, and then at Queen’s College in Belfast, and finally
as librarian at the University of Hull.
In addition to collections of poetry, Larkin published two
novels—Jill (1946) and A Girl in Winter (1947)—as well as
criticism, essays, and reviews of jazz music.
His reviews on Jazz music were collected in two volumes: All
What Jazz: A Record Diary 1961-1968 and Required
Writing: Miscellaneous Pieces 1955-1982
He was one of post-war England’s most famous poets, and
was commonly referred to as “England’s other Poet Laureate”
until his death in 1985.
Indeed, when the position of laureate became vacant in 1984,
many poets and critics favored Larkin’s appointment, but
Larkin preferred to avoid the limelight.
Larkin achieved acclaim on the strength of an extremely small
body of work—just over one hundred pages of poetry in four
slender volumes that appeared at almost decade-long intervals.
These collections, especially The Less Deceived (1955), The
Whitsun Weddings (1964), and High Windows (1974), present
“a poetry from which even people who distrust poetry, most
people, can take comfort and delight,” according to X.J.
Kennedy in the New Criterion
Larkin employed the traditional tools of poetry—rhyme,
stanza, and meter—to explore the often uncomfortable or
terrifying experiences thrust upon common people in the
Throughout his life, England was Larkin’s emotional territory
to an eccentric degree.
The poet distrusted travel abroad and professed ignorance of
foreign literature, including most modern American poetry.
Larkin’s Selected Letters, edited by his longtime friend, poet
Anthony Thwaite, reveals much about the writer’s personal
and professional life between 1940 and 1985.
Those strengths of craftsmanship and technical skill in
Larkin’s mature works received almost universal approval
from literary critics.
Dedicated to reaching out for his readers, the poet was a
staunch opponent of modernism in all artistic media.
Larkin felt that such cerebral experimentation ultimately
created a barrier between an artist and the audience and
provided unnecessary thematic complications.
Larkin’s output of fiction and essays is hardly more extensive
than his poetry.
Larkin stopped writing poetry shortly after his collection High
Windows was published in 1974.
In 2002, a notebook containing unpublished poems by Larkin
was found in a garbage dump in England, and the notebook’s
current owner consulted with auction houses in preparation
for selling it.

On a wild incident-packed night at Archerfield Speedway on Saturday (February 18), Ryan Newton outgunned the field to win round six of the East Coast Logistics Sprintcar Track Championship. Just a week after scoring a top-ten finish in the Australian Championship on the other side of the country, Newton set a cracking pace through the early laps of the race, riding the ragged edge and bouncing off the wall on several occasions before landing in victory lane for the first time this season. In finishing second and third respectively, both Tim Farrell and Adam Butler also scored their best results of the season, with Aaron Kelly and Randy Morgan completing the first five finishers.
A 28-car field hit the track for Sprintcar time trial qualifying and it was Brent Kratzmann who upstaged all others, clocking a best lap of 11.856 to emerge with KRE Fast Time. Newton (11.942) was second quickest and the only other runner to drop under 12 seconds, with Kelly (12.019), Farrell (12.038) and Jy Corbet (12.060) next best. Taylor Prosser, Andrew Baumber, Titman, Morgan and Harry Stewart rounded out the top ten, with Dan Murray the best of the rest.
The opening heat proved very costly for Tarhlea Apelt who, having pounced from pole position to lead the field away, was whacked by Tyler Stralow in turn one, sending both cars into a spin. Stralow would take no further part in the night and, whilst Apelt would restart from the rear, direct qualification into the feature race would now be out of reach. It would be Butler first home ahead of Newton, who advanced from row three, with Titman third.
Whilst Trent Vardy downed Brad Ayers and Morgan to win heat two, Mark Pholi and Andrew Baumber made a concerted effort to steal the spotlight when they both upended in turn one after the chequer.
Heat three went the way of Jack Bell over Stewart and Kelly, with Newton downing Butler and Titman in heat four
Farrell proved too fast in heat five, downing Morgan and Vardy before Kelly wrapped up qualifying with a win in the final heat in advance of Kratzmann and Bell.
The value of Formula 500 racing as a breeding ground for Sprintcar talent was on display in the opening heats of the Petrzyo Development Sprintcars, from which Noah Ball and Nathan Pronger emerged with wins. More F500 alumni in Kayden Iverson and Kinser Claridge filled the runner-up spots ahead of Libby Ellis and Anthony Vanderreyden respectively.
Ellis looked to have heat three safely in her keeping, only to throw away the lead with a spin on the main straight with just four laps to run. Dan Moes would inherit the lead and the win, leading home Ron Hendrickson and Iverson.
The final heat saw Claridge advance from the third row to take the race, leading home Vanderreyden and Todd Gaudry.
Claridge seemed on track to prevail in the Development Series feature race (C Main), leading the 14-car field through the opening 10 laps as the only driver to complete any laps under 14 seconds. However, when a spin from Robert Munro on lap 12 triggered a restart, Iverson pounced to snatch the lead soon after the resumption and held firm at the front to win on debut. Moes moved ahead of Claridge for second spot with only a lap or so to run, with Jared Desmares and Nathan Pronger rounding out the first five to also secure a transfer into the B Main. Hendrickson, Carlo Moiola, Munro, Ball and Gaudry completed the top ten.
The Boss Hogg’s Steakhouse Sprintcar Dash draw would see Newton, as the top qualifier, relegated to the outside of row two, but it was of little consequence as he would take control of the race on lap four and ultimately finish more than two seconds clear of Butler, with Farrell, Kelly, Morgan, Kratzmann, Titman and Vardy following in that order.
The first attempt to get the B Main underway was halted when another newcomer in Nash Morris spun in turn four. Once underway, Jy Corbet had little trouble in distancing himself from the field and he would remain in control when the race was ended six laps early after a series of stoppages, two of which came courtesy of spins from Claridge at opposite ends of the track on consecutive laps, with another restart coming soon after when Bell looped in turn four with eight laps still to run. Dave Fanning finished second ahead of Apelt and a fortunate Pholi. In a performance that belies his lack of Sprintcar experience, Iverson fell agonisingly short of a feature race start when, having stormed into the top five after just nine laps, he slipped underneath Pholi through turn three to move into the final transfer position, only for Peter Campbell to crunch the concrete in turn four and trigger a restart for which Pholi would be reinstated to fourth. When Tony Bridge crashed heavily along the back straight a lap later, officials called an end to proceedings, with Corbet, Fanning, Apelt and Pholi advancing to the feature race. Mitch Gowland snared sixth ahead of Pronger, James Matthews, Kye Jensen, Morris and the rest.
The 30-lap East Coast Logistics feature race was, by comparison, considerably more sedate but plenty entertaining. Sharing the front row with Butler, Newton rocketed off the line from pole position and had opened a considerable lead by the end of the opening lap. Having produced some remarkable speed on the low line throughout the heats, Butler found himself trapped wide through the first few laps and would fall as far as sixth behind Farrell, Morgan, Kelly, Vardy and Titman before he could again entrench himself on the bottom. The only interruption came on lap eight when Ayers spun in turn three. After 10 laps, Butler had gained just one spot but had closed in on the fight for third between Kelly and Morgan. The order remained static at the front with Newton leading Farrell, with Butler on a charge that would see him relegate both Morgan and Kelly. Further back, Kratzmann would drop spots to Vardy and Titman while, even deeper in the field, Corbet was a far cry from his usual hard charging self and made little progress to ultimately finish a lap in arrears. With the cushion very high on the track, Newton banged the wall on several occasions and was perhaps a little lucky to hold on given his right rear tyre deflated on the podium. Farrell was largely untroubled in finishing second ahead of Butler, Kelly and Morgan, with Vardy, Titman, Kratzmann, Stewart and Murray rounding out the top ten. Bell and Gowland were next best ahead of Corbet, Prosser, Pholi, Fanning, Apelt, Baumber and Ayers, with all 19 starters making it to the finish.
Despite clocking the quickest lap in hot laps, Scott Doyle couldn’t keep pace with race winner Casey O’Connell in the first of the Midget heats, with Boyd Chaffey collecting third.
A slow start from the outside front row saw Charlie Brown shuffled back to fifth in the early bustle of heat two but, soon after a restart following a spin from race leader Darren Dillon in turn two, Brown zoomed to the front and would lead Brock Dean and Dylan Menz to the chequer.
The final heat saw yet another F500 graduate outpace the field, with Chaffey leading home O’Connell and Dean.
From pole position, O’Connell would lead the opening three laps of the feature race before Brown took control. Running very high to grab the cushion through turns three and four, Brown would drop to the bottom in turns one and two, a strategy that paid dividends as he skipped clear of the field before a series of interruptions brought him back to the pack. The first stoppage came on lap 10 when Tim Devine spun in turn one, with second-placed O’Connell sliding to a halt to avoid contact and subsequently required to restart from the rear. Two laps later, a spin from Daniel Griffith halted proceedings again and then, when Doyle, Tom Clauss, Ty Horne and Glen Prowse piled up in turn two with seven laps still to be completed, officials cut five laps to set up a green-white-chequer sprint finish. Brown was untroubled to maintain his lead, with Chaffey clinching second spot as Brad Dawson finished strongly to grab third ahead of DJ Raw, Dean, Darren Dillon, Devine and O’Connell, with Griffith and Clauss the only other finishers.
Nicholas Whell outpaced Brody Thomsen and Scott Thomsen in the first heat for round nine of the Wildink Wingless Sprint Club Championship.
An early incident in lap two saw both Robert Mazzer and Bailey Goodwin on the infield after just two laps as Lismore’s Jacob Jolley prevailed over Andrew Sayre and Dave Sansby.
Heat three incurred a delay when an opening lap skirmish resulted in Lachlan Robertson landing atop his front row partner Corey O’Toole in turn three. Once separated, Robertson was able to continue, while O’Toole and Jamie Usher (flat tyre) were rendered spectators. Once underway, Ian Milnes assumed the lead and looked on track for a win until a spin in turn four with just two laps to run kyboshed his chances and enabled Liam Atkinson to emerge victorious over Tim Harris and Chris Catchpole.
Matt Gamble downed Jeremy Burt and Well in heat four while Usher, who has featured on the podium several times this season, again failed to go the distance.
With Jolley content to plod along on the bottom behind Ben Manson in heat five, the Thomsen brothers roared around the outside to assume the top two spots, with Scott leading the way. Having been awakened by the challenge, Jolley quickly disposed of Manson to secure second spot as Brody Thomsen slipped back to fifth behind Manson and Stuart Jefferies.
An opening lap moment in the final heat saw Sansby finish upside down when unable to avoid a spinning Milnes in turn four. With further incidents also eliminating the likes of Andrew Robinson and Andrew Sayre, only half of the starters would make it to the finish as Atkinson led every lap to score his second win of the night, with Ian O’Toole and Jacob Waller in the minor placings.
Whilst Sayre was a comfortable winner in the B Main, the battle for the remaining transfer spots intensified over the closing moments before Robertson, Manson and O’Toole ultimately held firm in the face of a late charge from Neil Howard.
A slow start from pole qualifier Atkinson allowed Jolley to lead the opening laps of the feature until he again found himself with no answer when Scott Thomsen came calling. It was lap seven that produced the lead change and Thomsen wasted no time in expanding his advantage to eventually cross the strike almost five seconds clear of Jolley, with Atkinson fighting back to finagle third when Brody Thomsen fell out of contention late in proceedings. Whell wheeled into fourth, with Harris also moving ahead of Brody Thomsen to foist himself into fifth. With all 20 starters still circulating at the finish, Brayden Shute, Blake Darcy, Gamble and Waller rounded out the top ten.
A lack of cars prevented the Open Sedan events from reaching any great heights, with Wayne Kirkman winning all three heats and the feature in the A ranks, leading home Colin Morris and Robin Bains in the final. In the B division, Tim Swart won the first heat before Ronnie Young prevailed in the next two outings and then followed up to take out the feature race. In his first feature race defeat for quite a while, Swart finished second ahead of Shaun Donnelly, Scott Aitkens and Robert Gorman.
The next event at Archerfield Speedway is on Saturday, March 25 featuring round seven of the East Coast Logistics Sprintcar Track Championship, along with Midgets, AMCA Nationals and Formula 500s.

Solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreas.
A 17-year-old female without significant medical history presented to our pediatric hospital with symptoms of vague upper abdominal pain. The patient's laboratory results were unremarkable. Imaging from an outside institution was nondiagnostic and an enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen was subsequently performed (Figure 1).
Enhanced CT imaging of the abdomen revealed a large, well circumscribed, heterogenous pancreatic tail mass measuring 13 cm in greatest diameter (Figure 1). The mass splays the pancreatic body-tail junction creating a "claw sign" within the pancreatic parenchyma suggesting pancreatic tail origin. The mass displaces the left kidney inferiorly (Figure 1A). The left adrenal gland is clearly separate from the mass which compresses the adjacent gastric body medially (Figure 1B).
Solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreas; differential considerations include: nonfunctioning islet cell tumor, pancreatoblastoma and complicated pseudocyst
Solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN) of the pancreas is an uncommon, typically benign, neoplasm, which is predominately seen in young females of non-Caucasian descent. This tumor has also been called solid cystic tumor, papillary cystic tumor and solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas. (1) Although this tumor may occur anywhere within the pancreas, the pancreatic tail is the most common site of origin. SPEN may have heterogenous imaging characteristics secondary to a combination of hemorrhage and necrosis. Typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics include a well demarcated mass with areas of hyperintensity on T1 weigthed imaging, corresponding to either solid portions with marked hemorrhagic necrosis or cystic areas filled with hemorrhagic debris. (2)
[FIGURE 1 OMITTED]
[FIGURE 2 OMITTED]
[FIGURE 3 OMITTED]
SPEN of the pancreas is treated surgically and complete resection of the mass is usually curative. However, malignant degeneration has been reported in [less than or equal to] 15% of cases including local invasion or metastasis. (3,4) Thus, this tumor is probably best classified as a neoplasm of borderline malignant potential.
Differential considerations including nonfunctioning islet cell tumor, pancreatoblastoma, and complicated pseudocyst are less likely possibilities. Nonfunctioning islet cell tumor may also be incidentally identified as a large mass with local mass effect on adjacent structures. However, nonfunctioning islet cell tumors typically occur in an older patient population and are most commonly located in the head, neck or uncinate process. Pancreatoblastoma is a rare pediatric carcinoma of the pancreas in which the majority arises in the head of the pancreas. Elevated alpha-fetoprotein may also be an indicator of pancreatoblastoma. This diagnosis is unlikely given the location and unremarkable laboratory findings. Finally, the diagnosis of complicated pseudocyst is also less likely in this young patient without a history of pancreatitis.
In this case, a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy was performed in the excision of the mass (Figure 2) with histological examination (Figure 3) confirming the prospective diagnosis of SPEN. These tumors typically have a fibrous capsule and show some degree of hemorrhage and necrosis. The tumor cells are usually of uniform size with a solid and pseudopapillary pattern and contain large amounts of eosinophilic cytoplasm and no prominent nucleolus or mitosis. (5)
Clinically, patients with SPEN are asymptomatic and diagnosis is made incidentally by diagnostic imaging. Laboratory evaluation often reveals normal serum amylase and lipase. Markers for pancreatic cancer including CA19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen are typically unremarkable. (6) When patients are symptomatic they may present with a slowly enlarging upper abdominal mass or vague abdominal pain and discomfort. If the tumor becomes large enough to compress and displace the adjacent visceral organs, the patient may complain of obstructive symptoms.
Differentiating SPEN from other pancreatic neoplasms can be difficult as the imaging characteristics of pancreatic neoplasms may often be nonspecific and overlapping. However, SPEN should be the primary differential consideration in cases where the classic imaging characteristics and location are present in a patient with the appropriate demographics. Specifically, a large sharply marginated heterogenous mass within the pancreatic tail of a young female should prompt SPEN as a primary diagnostic consideration.
The diagnosis of solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm carries an excellent prognosis with surgical resection. SPEN should be a primary differential consideration when a large, well defined, heterogeneous pancreatic tail mass is encountered in a young Asian or African American female.

Climate of Change
What kind of world are we leaving our grandchildren? Recent scientific articles suggest that the Gulf Stream may be slowing down. If this continues, the effect on world climate will be significant. Fertile lands becoming deserts, with consequent mass migration of climate refugees, threatening peace and stable Government. Other signs of the impact of Global Warming are here: unprecedented flooding, storms, wild fires of historical size and intensity in BC and elsewhere. As a recent IPCC report makes clear, all of this is occurring as a result of a 1°C rise in global temperature and we are on a trajectory for 2°C and beyond. Change is afoot around the globe — but Canada lags in its response.
What can we do? Sessions will focus on actions to decarbonize transport and the food system, efficient home heating, wildfires and weather, human migration and global warming, International politics: Rio-Kyoto-Paris. What next?
Each session will end with a half hour of moderated discussion.
NOTE: The rack card for Spring classes shows an incorrect starting date for this class, the correct date is January 23rd as shown here.

Biogas typically refers to a mixture of different gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste. It is a renewable energy source and in many cases exerts a very small carbon footprint.
Biogas can be produced by anaerobic digestion with anaerobic bacteria, which digest material inside a closed system, or fermentation of biodegradable materials.
Biogas is primarily methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and may have small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), moisture and siloxanes. The gases methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide (CO) can be combusted or oxidized with oxygen.

Curragh Chase Forest Park
There are over 300 hectares of rolling parkland, trails, mixed woodland, lakes and an arboretum at Curragh Chase. This planned landscape was the former home of the de Vere family, the most notable being Sir Aubrey de Vere who was a poet and an author. The façade of the former grand house sits proud on the hill overlooking the main car park and man-made lake. There are many wonderful features of the de Vere estate dotted around the Park for you to find, including; the impressive arboretum, a pet cemetery and a memorial cross.
For the nature lover, there are a number of Special Areas of Conservation (SAC’s) in the park, largely due to the presence of the Lesser Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus hipposideros). The hawfinch, a rare bird on Irish soils has frequently been seen at Curragh Chase, this bird appreciates the many hornbeam trees to be found within the Park. Coillte is currently involved in restoring native woodlands within important pockets in the park, including a native Yew woodland. Ducks and an array of waterfowl live and waddle in the area on and around the lake.
There is ample to do and see for an enjoyable day at Curragh Chase for all ages.
NO MORE COINS!
