Thinking about how to respond after events of violence and injustice.
This is part two of a post I wrote for Off The Page
Hiding away while others mourn and protest in the streets after acts of violence and injustice doesn’t appear like loving well to me. I have determined that as a 30-year-old white guy, if I want to love well, I can no longer remain silent.
But loving well is such a broad concept. Where do I even begin?
I have decided to use 1 Corinthians 13, the famous love chapter of the Bible, as a guide for how I respond in love to those asking for me to break my silence.
Love is patient.
Love compels me to be quick to listen, and slow to speak; and to be quick to observe, and slow to link. Of course, that’s easier said than done. When events of violence and injustice make their way to my newsfeed, it’s not time for me to log off social media. And it definitely is not the time for me to share snarky meme’s showing random statistics. These are the times to be hushed and patient. These are the times that I need to remember to lean into the mess and the uncomfortable spaces of lament and mourning.
Love is Kind.
Kindness requires empathy. Brené Brown says that empathy is “communicating that incredibly healing message of ‘you’re not alone.’” After acts of violence and evil in our country, there are always those whose lives have forever been changed. I think for me the simplest way I can show kindness is to make sure to tell them, “You’re not alone! I mourn with you. This is not ok!”
Love does not envy.
Love gives attention to the people who are ignored, mistreated, taken advantage of, abused, and silenced. When I find myself wanting to gloss over the pain of others because it makes me uncomfortable, that is not love. That is envy.
Love is not proud.
I need humility if I am to recognize the various privileges I benefit from. And my privilege is not limited to my race. I cannot let my pride keep me from loving well. I cannot let my pride keep me silent. I need to learn what it looks like to break the silence by being willing to ask awkward and difficult questions.
Love does not dishonor others.
I’ll admit it. Saying “all lives matter” in response to “black lives matter” really bothers me. It makes me want to share political cartoons, links, and videos of talk show hosts being snarky to those who say it on social media. But that too is not loving well. Just because I believe someone is dishonoring another person doesn’t mean I respond by dishonoring them. (It also doesn’t mean I simply ignore it.)
Love is not self-seeking.
Loving well isn’t about making myself look good. I need to be willing to listen to and learn from those who have experienced injustice in our country. I need to learn to admit how I am contributing to our racialized society.
I found many of these resources complied by Leslie Verner to be very helpful in my desire to listen, learn, confess, and act. Taking the time to stop and listen has been an incredible way to grow in my empathy towards others.
Love is not easily angered.
I’ve made the mistake in the past of judging people for getting so angry. I’ve thought, “How is anger or a protest going to solve any problems?” I’ve had to be shown that injustice is something worthy of anger and protest. Love might not be easily angered, but sometimes it means getting angry alongside those who have experienced injustice.
Love keeps no record of wrongs.
Every human being has intrinsic value and worth because they are made in the image of God. No matter what a person has done in their past, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be shot and killed. I cannot let a victim’s “record of wrongs” affect my outrage for the tragedy of their death.
Love does not delight in evil.
Vengeance is not the same as justice. Violence is never a reconciling act. Hate is never the answer. If I ever find myself delighting in or wishing for vengeance, violence, or hate it’s time for a heart check.
Love rejoices with the truth.
As I check to make sure I am not delighting in any sort of evil, I also need to remember to rejoice with the truth. Saying “black lives matter” is both a protest and a proclamation of truth. And as we experience greater acceptance of such truths, I can rejoice in the freedom and equality comes with it.
Love always protects.
Because I’m white and I’ll never truly know what it’s like to live as a person of color in this country, I think I often am afraid of speaking up. I don’t want to look like I’ve got it all figured out. I’ve made that mistake waaaay too many times in the past. (I am a recovering mansplainer. The last thing I want to be is a whitesplainer.) At the same time I am often afraid to speak up because up because I’ll let my ignorance show. I’ll say something wrong. People will find out that I fail at loving well all the time. But protection doesn’t mean that I need to be perfect or a savior, it means that I confess I am inconsistent and a sinner.
I do not believe it is the responsibility of the victims of injustice to fix our broken system. That is on us who benefit from and perpetuate the injustices of the system.
Love always trusts.
It’s often hard for me to admit that I am a participant in the injustices of our racialized society. But love enables me to trust that standing up for justice is always the right thing to do. I believe that love does conquer hate, and that evil will not win in the end. I believe that love challenges us to trust that when we come together seeking unity and admitting our shortcomings, we are all better for it.
Love always hopes, always perseveres.
My wife and I were recently talking about how exhausting it can be to constantly be hearing the news of violence, seeing the divisive rhetoric on social media, and the overwhelming injustices of our society. It sometimes seems too big to feel we can really make any sort of a difference. But love hopes for that day when injustice will no longer be held unaccountable. Love hopes for that day where the abuse of power will be a concept of the past. And in the meantime love causes us to persevere. Love is guiding us to the day where the weapons of war will be pounded into gardening tools and we all truly experience justice and peace once and for all.
Unfortunately injustice is still very much a part of the world we live and take part in. Because of this we most certainly experience more acts violence and injustice in the coming days. And again I will be unsure how exactly I to respond. But I do know that for me, that means I cannot remain silent. I must push forward in love. And I’ll be looking to 1 Corinthians 13 as a way to help me do that well.

A service is an abstraction that collects settings information—usually to set up communication protocols, such as ISP settings—and specific folders for a single instance of an MTM. The behaviour can be different in different MTMs. For example, for SMTP a service typically relates to a single mail account.
If a service can contain entries, opening the service from within a message client application should display these entries.
Users can normally edit service settings using a dialog. It is up to the MTM to provide a dialog for entering and editing settings, and to store them in a suitable stream. In order that settings can be easily accessed both by server-side and client-side MTM components, the code to store and access settings is normally implemented in a separate library.
If the user no longer wants to send or retrieve messages using the service, the user can delete a service entry, which deletes the settings associated with it are removed.

Soils and Topography
Tanoak grows well on a variety of soils developed from igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks, or sedimentary rock alluvium. It grows best on soils that are deep, well-drained, and loamy, sandy, or gravelly. Tanoak also grows on soils derived from serpentine, which are intermediate between the moist and dry extremes, but is limited to a shrubby form. It is seldom found on heavy clayey soils.
High-site soils for redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) or Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), such as the Hugo, Sheetiron, Josephine, Empire, Larabee, Sites, and Melbourne (12) series, are also well suited for the growth of tanoak (28). These soils have been derived from either consolidated or soft sedimentary rocks. They are light grayish brown or light reddish brown to brown in color and are moderately to strongly acidic. Soil textures grade through gravelly loam, sand loam, fine sandy loam, loam, silt loam, to clay loam. Soil orders are mostly Inceptisols and Alfisols.
Besides growing well on deep soils, tanoak also thrives on stony and shallow soils that are less suitable for conifers. Yet tanoak requires more moisture than many other hardwoods. It will grow well on the shallow and stony soils of north slopes, for example, but will be supplanted by Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii), Oregon white oak Quercus garryana), or California black oak (Q. kelloggii) on the warmer, drier south slopes.
Throughout the Coast Ranges from the northern limit of tanoak's distribution (lat. 43° 42° N.) to the Santa Lucia Mountains (lat. 35° 40°N.) tanoak grows from sea level to elevations of 1220 or 1525 in (4,000 or 5,000 ft). The terrain is rough, steep, and extremely dissected by both major streams and smaller drainages. In the Santa Ynez Mountains, at the southern limit of its range (lat. 34° 34° N.), tanoak grows at 730 to 1435 in (2,400 to 4,700 ft). In the northern Sierra Nevada, it grows between elevations of 580 and 1220 in (1,900 and 4,000 ft) and in the central Sierra Nevada between 915 and 1525 m (3,000 and 5,000 ft). At its southern limit in the Sierra Nevada, tanoak is found between 1525 to 1980 in (5,000 and 6,500 ft) near Signal Peak (lat. 37° 32° N.) in the Sierra National Forest (24).
Tanoak is most abundant and, in general, attains its largest sizes in Humboldt and Mendocino Counties, CA, between elevations of 150 to 915 in (500 to 3,000 ft) on northerly and easterly slopes and toward the summits of the seaward exposures of the Coast Ranges. In the southern Coast Ranges, tanoak is common in the Santa Cruz and Santa Lucia Mountains, particularly on the westerly slopes. And in the central Sierra Nevada, where the climate is less humid, it grows in valleys, coves, ravines, along streams, and on north slopes.

But I’d argue that there is more to his character: He eventually received a degree in medicine from Tokyo Imperial Womam, but reportedly did so poorly in his studies that he was allowed to graduate only if he promised never to take a job as a doctor.

Later, when the man takes the woman hostage in a bid to secure his womann, she endures the indignity with far more grace than her captor has hitherto shown: Abe creates on the page an unexpected impulsion.
Then again, the idea of a parable is to keep the story and writing simple in order to clearly relay your message. The above ln narrates woan process of transformation that takes place in the ego Niki. It may be noted that another hole, shioanko has a name in order to terrify escapees. Moreover, I have analysed the characteristics of the kaisha with the help of Jungian psychology and suggested a reform proposal to bring about improvements in the kaisha.
Junpei an entomologist on a mission to find rarest sand beetles finds himself deceivingly trapped by the villagers in a sand dune to dig up loads of sand in order to sell it to the cities. They can’t escape the sand which settles on them even as they sleep. Such a simple story line and I feel it could have been done excellently done in a short story or a novella.
In an article for Vice inin which Blake Butler read not only Woman in the Dunes but three other Abe novels in succession, he summarizes doman whole book like so:. My regret was never getting to fully see her shape, gage her thoughts, learn about her story and the story of her family view spoiler [ aside from the brief story of the sand tragedy that befell them hide spoiler ].
Thus, inverse self-realization is not a change jobo the worse or a form of revenge on the kaisha ; in fact, it is intended for the improvement of the kaisha. T here was one thing I knew about The Woman in the Dunes that assured me I would connect with it on at least some level: This suggests that it will no longer be the human psyche if human beings do not have an ego since they cannot judge and recognize the external world without it. The Woman in the Dunes has its share of vocabulary best fitted for the field of science, reflecting Abe’s background in the profession; though his manipulation of such language effectively results in a poetic blend of logic and illogic, never off-putting for the reader, simply suspending reality for a thrilling period of time, meaningfully spent.

By the end of the book you’re feeling sand crawling up all your crevices, rubbing your skin raw, getting in your hair, and threatening to bury you. View all 18 comments. Which is not an ordering I’d often subscribe to, but here it seems to be the case. Since Niki represents the ego, he is not familiar with the latter, barbarian world Abe Due to ego inflation, the salaryman runs a risk of turning into a haughty man who is detested by everyone. We, too, must spend a lifetime doing a job as meaningless to the universe at large, if not to ourselves as shovelling never-ending deposits of sand into buckets, getting nothing for our pains but the barest essentials.
The Woman In The Dunes Summary - ENotes.com
As part of his training, the senior salarymen compel the recruit to acknowledge the importance of cooperativeness, but the recruit is often rebellious towards this pseudo-cooperative culture. However, preventing Niki from becoming a writer is a secret design of the true puppeteer, the hole.
But simply calling it an intermediate substance did not provide a really satisfactory explanation. Buy the Audiobook Download: As the house sandpit is in the border of the town and one among many such sand pit homes, the duty of the house members is to block the advance of sand dunes.
The Woman in the Dunes is not that kind of book. When Jumpei arrives, he’s kidnapped and thrown into one of them as a mate for a widow.
In both cases, he’s the protagonist, but here we’re definitely more trapped in his perspective, right or wrong, which casts the women unavoidably as antagonist. In this context, the great mother the hole is afraid of an even more powerful great mother the sand. A lot of sand. If he suddenly quits the kaisha in such a situation, he will lose contact with the unconscious.

This implies the boundlessness of the unconscious. If that was his aim he had succeeded. Koob hole great mother operates the woman anima and binds him ego to the hole by making him have a sexual relationship with the woman instead of with the hole. If a true intermediate substance were involved, the erosive action of the wind and water would necessarily produce any number of intermingling intermediate forms in the range between rock and clay.
I appreciate the spareness in diction, preciseness, meditative melancholy, and attention kibo the irreparable gulf of perception and misperception between each person and the next. Jumpei stumble There are these horrifying insects called antlions that dig holes and bury themselves at the bottom of them, just their jaws sticking out of the sand, and wait for ants to wonan in so they can trap and devour them.

It has been a long while since US risk managers have been able to physically get together and discuss topics and learn from experts, which perhaps explains why more than 7,600 risk professionals attended the Rims annual conference (now known as Riskworld) in San Francisco. The last in-person conference was held three years ago.
Covid-19 put paid to the conference in 2020 and 2021. But it came back with a bang and there was a celebratory mood from the start, opening with Pitbull’s Celebrate, and seeing former Rims presidents take to the stage to Katrina and the Waves’ Walking on Sunshine.
The pandemic gave risk professionals the chance to shine, according to Laura Langone, Rims 2020 president. Speaking at the opening of the 2022 conference, she said: “The challenges we faced since 2020 have been unprecedented for all of us. But here we are, and we are more resilient than ever. We made it through because this community is strong.”
She continued: “This challenge of a lifetime dared us to be different. But we rose to the occasion and showed our ability to adapt, support change and drive innovation. Although the pandemic forced us to be further apart physically, I’ve never felt closer to this profession.”
She added: “Risk management has never felt so valued and it is up to us to ensure our voices are heard at the highest levels of the organisation and at board level. This is our time.” She said this year’s conference was filled with ideas, solutions and connections for risk professionals, to keep the “awesome momentum going”.
Mary Roth, chief executive officer, who is retiring after 18 years as Rims CEO, and nearly 37 years working for the society, took to the stage to the rousing soundtrack of Proud Mary by Tina Turner.
“Over the past couple of years, risk professionals were put to the test and sadly it seems the world is testing us all again,” she said. “The events unfolding in Ukraine are heart-wrenching. Rims is proud of the action that so many of our partners have taken. And we too stand in solidarity with this fight for freedom and peace.”
She added: “The vulnerability and uncertainty in this world never cease to end. But risk professionals rose to the challenge before and I know you will do it again.”

Thai Shrimp Skewers
I'm always on the hunt for recipes that are a) simple/fast b) delish and c) healthy (and of course gluten-free) and these Thai shrimp skewers get top points in all categories. You can easily make these skewers after a long day of work and commuting (like I did today) or for a crowd at your next BBQ.
Servings: 1 main course
Wooden or metal skewers
- 9 raw shrimp (thawed, peeled and patted dry)
- 1 tsp Thai curry paste
- Canola oil or cooking spray
- Lime and fresh chopped cilantro (to serve)
If using BBQ to cook, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using. Thread shrimps onto skewers and brush the shrimps with curry paste. Heat skillet or frying pan to medium high heat and spray with canola oil. Place shrimps onto heated pan and cook on each side for 1 to 2 minutes until pink and cooked through. If using a BBQ, lightly brush the shrimps with canola oil before grilling to prevent sticking. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime.


State sovereignty needs limitsGetting away with murder in Darfur [Archives:2004/788/Opinion]
By Richard N. Haass
Darfur is shorthand for the latest example of a recurring international problem, one that gained headlines a decade ago in Rwanda. What should the world do when a large number of people are the victims of violence originating from within their own country?
Darfur itself is a region of Western Sudan comprised of Arab and African Muslims. Conflict erupted in early 2003 when rebels of the Sudan Liberation Movement attacked government troops in an effort to gain greater autonomy and resources for their region. Sudan government aircraft and government-supported troops (known as jangaweed) retaliated against not only armed rebels but also against civilians deemed to be supporting them. Villages have been emptied, women raped, non-Arab men killed.
The origins of the current crisis may be in some dispute, but the costs are not. More than 50,000 men, women and children have lost their lives; more than 1.5 million have been made homeless. This is arguably genocide, a word used by the U.S. government but by few others to describe what is going on in Darfur.
Meanwhile, world leaders are debating what if anything should be done. UN Security Council Resolution 1564, passed on 18 September 2004, reserves the bulk of its criticism for the government of Sudan. But the UN is not yet prepared to go beyond words. The resolution threatens that the Security Council will consider imposing sanctions against Sudanese leaders or against the country's important oil sector, but introduces no penalties at this time.
Why the hesitation? More than anything else it stems from international reluctance to challenge any government over what it is doing within its own territory. This reflects a widely-held view of sovereignty, one that allows governments to do essentially what they want within their own borders.
Such thinking is inadequate and outmoded. To begin with, there is a moral element. There is something wrong in looking the other way when one's fellow human being is being slaughtered. We all have some basic obligation to one another.
There are as well pragmatic considerations. In a global world, what happens within one country can all too easily affect others. For example, refugees leaving Sudan can strain the stability of neighboring Chad.
Opposition to genocide and other large-scale acts of violence against a population also reflects the established principle that citizens as well as governments have rights. This principle is enshrined in various international documents, beginning with the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Governments ought not to be allowed to massacre their own people. And weak governments should not be allowed to permit massacres to take place on their own territory even if they are not themselves carrying out the massacre.
What all this adds up to is a requirement for a concept of state sovereignty that is less than absolute. To be precise, we need to embrace a contractual approach to sovereignty, one that recognizes the obligations and responsibilities as well as the rights of those who enjoy it. Such an approach to sovereignty would essentially communicate to governments and their leaders that the rights and protections they associate with statehood are in fact conditional, and that governments and leaders would forfeit some or, in extreme cases, all of these rights and protections if they failed to meet their obligations.
This idea will only have an impact if the international community is prepared to go beyond voicing this principle and accept the necessary consequence: that other states and the world at large have a right and a duty to act to protect innocent life when it is jeopardized on a large scale.
Some movement in just this direction was suggested by widespread international support for the humanitarian interventions in Bosnia, Kosovo, and East Timor. Another sign of change is the basic document (“Constitutive Act”) of the African Union, the regional organization launched in July 2000 to replace the ineffective Organization of African Unity. After citing the principle of non-interference by one member state in the internal affairs of another, the document goes on to declare “the right of the Union to intervene in a member state pursuant to a decision of the assembly in respect of grave circumstances, namely war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.” Intervention in such circumstances can take any number of forms, from public rhetoric and private diplomacy to economic and political sanctions to armed intervention.
All of which brings us back to Darfur. What needs doing? There is a need for massive assistance to the displaced people of Darfur. Those who have survived conflict require help if they are not to succumb to disease and starvation. There is also every reason to renew diplomatic efforts to bring about a lasting cease-fire and, following that, a settlement that addresses the grievances that helped bring about this crisis in the first place.
Two other points require highlighting, though. First, and consistent with UN Security Council Resolution 1564, countries should provide the African Union with the logistical, material, and financial help it has asked for. With such support, AU-authorized troops could guard the refugee camps and, over time, protect villages so that men, women and children could return home in safety.
Second, the UN ought to make good on its threat and impose sanctions against the Sudanese government unless it stops using its aircraft to destroy villages and unless it stops supporting the jangaweed. Criminal indictments for war crimes ought to be issued against specific officials who do not comply.
It is important that the world act, not simply to save the people of Darfur, but to prevent future Darfurs. A great deal of innocent human life depends on it.

Book the Purrfect Trip with These Pet-Friendly Hotels
Taking a trip but don’t want to leave your furry friend behind? In honor of National Pet Day, check out these pet-friendly hotels — and even a cruise line — that let your pet take that much-needed vacation with you.
Americans took 2.2 billion trips for business and pleasure in 2016, and this number will only keep climbing. Because more travelers want to vacation with their their entire family — including the four-footed members — more chain hotels and other properties are now allowing pets. But taking your pet along for the ride can sometimes be costly and limited.
Luckily, there are still some hotels and hotel chains out there that are truly pet friendly — some even wallet friendly.
In honor of National Pet Day, April 11, we’ve scoped out some of the most accommodating pet-friendly hotels so you won’t have to leave Fluffy at home the next time you want to get away.
[RELATED: Travel Trends of 2017]
All Motel 6 properties — more than 1,350 of them — accept up to two pets per room with no added fees. Dogs of any size are allowed to stay as long as they are “well behaved” and don’t disturb any other guests.
Almost all La Quinta properties welcome up to two canine or feline pets of any size. (There are a few exceptions because of local laws that prohibit pets.) La Quinta has no restriction on a guest pet’s weight and does not charge additional fees.
Kimpton hotels neither charge extra fees nor limit the number of pets per room. All 60-plus locations welcome pets of any size or breed if the pet “fits through the door.” That shouldn’t be hard for all pet owners to abide by. Each property lends guests pet beds, water bowls and mats for your VIP (Very Important Pet). You and your pet can also meet the other hotel guests — furry or not — at the nightly wine reception.
The Loews Loves Pets program is what the hotel chain calls a “travel essential.” Big dogs, little dogs and cats are all welcome to stay at any of the Loews properties. The chain provides name tags, bowls, treats and, by request, pet beds, litter boxes and scratching posts. Only two pets are allowed per room, but when they get hungry, they can order off the pet room service menu. Fees vary by property, and some hotels may place limits on the animals’ size.
Most Red Roof Inn properties welcome one family pet of any size . (A few hotels in the chain cannot accept pets because of local laws.) Red Roof Inns do not charges no fees for their pet guests.
Although it’s not a traditional hotel, Cunard makes the list because it’s the only cruise line to allow dogs and cats on transatlantic trips. On the Cunard’s Queen Mary 2, you stay in the cabin and your furry friend stays in the kennel — a facility with both indoor and outdoor space. The kennel works best for cats and small dogs. Dogs must be less than 36 inches high and less than 60 inches long. Big dogs and what are considered fighting breeds in the United Kingdom are also banned from sailing. Cats must sail in two upper kennels, one for her and one for her litter box, for a fee of $1,600. Dogs can bunk in upper kennels for $800 or the lower kennels for $1,000. It’s also possible to give your pooch more space to relax by booking two connecting kennels.

Monkeypox cases hit 524 as 52 new infections detected amid fears of ‘global emergency’
A FURTHER 52 cases of monkeypox have been detected in the UK, raising the total to 524 infections.
The increase in cases comes as the World Health Organization (WHO) is set to meet to discuss whether the outbreak is an emergency.
In recent weeks around 1,600 cases have been detected globally - something experts say is 'concerning'.
In the US, the total number of infections that have been registered is 72, with California and New York having the majority of cases.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the WHO said: "It's for that reason I have decided to convene the Emergency Committee under the international health regulations next week, to assess whether this outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern,"
Across the UK there are 524, with the majority, 504, being in England, 13 in Scotland, 2 in Northern Ireland and 5 in Wales.
Anyone can get the bug - particularly if you have had close contact, including sexual contact, with an individual with symptoms.
Medics say you should contact a sexual health clinic if you have rashes or blisters and if you have been in contact with someone who has had monkeypox in the last three weeks.
This guidance also applies to those who have been to West or Central Africa in the past three weeks.
However, the WHO are also set to rename the virus - in a move which could see the illness called hMPXV.
Most read in Health News
It comes after 30 scientists wrote a letter calling for the change, over concerns it could provoke racism and stigmatisation.
Anyone can get monkeypox, and before the current outbreak, it was mostly found in African countries.
But experts are worried that references to the illness as African are problematic.
In a letter to the organisation scientists said that "continued reference to, and nomenclature of this virus being African is not only inaccurate but is also discriminatory and stigmatising."
The note continued: "The most obvious manifestation of this is the use of photos of African patients to depict the pox lesions in mainstream media in the global north."
A technical briefing issued the UKHSA on Friday found that the majority of cases in the UK are in London - with 99 per cent of them being in men.
The median age of confirmed cases in the UK was 38 years old.
The signs of monkeypox you need to know
Experts at the UK Health Security Agency have said all Brits should be on the look out for key signs and symptoms.
The signs may include:
- Muscle aches
- Night sweats
- Cold-like symptoms, such as congestion and runny nose
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Swollen groin
Medics said that complications of the illness were documented as:
- low mood
- severe pain
UKHSA admitted that "traditional contact tracing is currently challenging".
Monkeypox is not considered a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
However, the data suggests that this is the primary way that the virus is spreading.
Experts today told the WHO that Pride events could help in spreading public information about monkeypox.
Steve Taylor, board member at EuroPride, said the virus – which has been mainly concentrated in the men who have sex with men community – must not be used as an excuse to shut down LGBTQ+ events.
There are set to be around 750 pride events this summer across Europe and organisers say there will be clear messaging as to how people can protect themselves.
Senior emergency officer at the WHO Regional Office for Europe, Dr Catherine Smallwood was quizzed on why the majority of cases have been detected in men who have sex with men.
She explained that 'all outbreaks start somewhere'.
"This virus doesn’t choose any one person against another, it’s opportunistic in its spread.
“And how it will spread will really be defined by the opportunities it has.
“It’s also a disease that has an incubation period of 21 days. We’re just over a month into this outbreak, understanding that outbreak, so it’s too early to conclude as to how it will be spreading amongst the general population," she added.

Another Kilmarnock Venue Gains a 4 Star Award
Kilmarnock’s Palace Theatre has scored very highly from the national tourism organisation, winning the venue a Four Star Arts Venue Quality Assurance award.
In recognition of the warm and welcoming staff, high quality and eye catching new signage and refurbished toilet facilities on the ground floor, The Palace Theatre was awarded the VisitScotland grading following a recent assessment visit by a Quality Tourism Advisor.
Councillor Douglas Reid, Chair of East Ayrshire Leisure and Leader of East Ayrshire Council said: “We are delighted that the Palace Theatre has been graded as a 4 star arts venue. There has been a range of improvements made to the theatre and with a varied programme of shows and music, combined with the excellent customer service provided by staff, we can proudly say that we are one of the best arts venues in the region”
The site of the Palace Theatre was once part of a public bleaching green, hence the street name 'Green Street', and the site was subsequently a fish market before the decision was made to build a Corn Exchange in 1863. The building was converted to a theatre in 1903 and is now home to a 500 seat theatre, 900 seat concert hall, exhibition rooms and art halls. The Theatre and adjoining Grand Hall have welcomed a host of leading stars of their day including Val Doonican, Chic Murray and Rikki Fulton to Billy Connolly, Kevin Bridges, Calvin Harris, The View, Paul Heaton, Primal Scream and Johnny Marr in more recent times.
The A-Listed building is one of James Ingram's finest designs in Kilmarnock and is one of the town’s most iconic landmarks. The Palace Theatre underwent external refurbishment in 2011/2012 and an LED lighting system was installed highlighting some of the beautiful features of the building’s architecture ensuring that this iconic building can be admired day or night.
The Palace Theatre is the latest attraction in East Ayrshire Leisure’s portfolio of attractions to be awarded 4 stars from VisitScotland.
VisitScotland Regional Director Annique Armstrong said:
“From comedy to children’s shows, drama to dance, and magic to musicals, The Palace Theatre always offers a great night out and a varied year-long programme of excellent entertainment to suit all tastes. I’m delighted that this wonderful, highly popular attraction has been awarded our 4-Star grading in recognition of its excellent standards, and my congratulations go to the team at the theatre on such a well-deserved achievement.
“The 4-Star award is a trusted, impartial assurance of quality so it’s a great marketing tool and important asset - not only for The Palace and Kilmarnock but for East Ayrshire; it further enhances our ability to promote the area as a destination which offers a diverse range of fantastic things to see and do, supporting tourism and the region’s economy.”

Child labour, let’s talk about it. It’s bad, I know, but I think I will play devil`s advocate for a while. Some big corporation rolls into a poverty stricken country. They set up a factory and start hiring. Perfect, the cheapest labour comes from children and better yet they have nothing better to do. We offer a kid a job and pay him a few cents a day, maybe even feed him while he is on the job. We take the burden off the family and help the kid bring in a little money each day.
So it still sounds horrible does it? Well let’s take a look at the alternatives at least your kid could become a prostitute or drug mule. They might get paid more for that. Hell, they could stay at home and sit around for sixteen hours a day while they’re not sleeping or go out to beg on an empty stomach. Oh wait, everyone in your town is just as poor and hungry as you are. Everyone is trying to catch a break, but your currency is so devalued compared to the US dollar if you had those five American pennies you could buy a loaf of bread. Doesn’t sound so bad now does it.
Eventually your standard of living has increased and it no longer becomes affordable for Nike to make their shoes in your town. Too bad, but you had a good run. So off Nike goes to the next town to bring up the standard of living there.

The 10th anniversary of Colruyt Group data centres
Colruyt Group took two new, self-built data centres into use ten years ago. Christophe and Marc from Colruyt Group IT were involved from the very beginning. That makes them the perfect people to talk about the added value of our own data centres!
What exactly is a data centre?
Christophe: “You can look at our data centres as the brain of our company. They contain all the IT systems which support the various brands within our group. The focus lies on connectivity: we do not only connect different IT systems, the data centres are also connected to our office buildings, distribution centres and shops. And between them, they are interconnected with hundreds of fibre-optic cables. This is to ensure that no bottlenecks occur in the data traffic.”
Building your own data centre, is that unique?
Marc: “We increasingly see companies outsourcing their data centres. Colruyt Group made the conscious choice of designing and building their own new data centres. It ensures that the infrastructure is tailored to the company's needs. Both Christophe and I were part of the initial project back in the day, and because we can rely on the in-house expertise of the group, the quality of our services is always guaranteed.”
What did it involve?
Marc: “Building new data centres allowed us to start with a clean slate and take best practices from the field. An essential foundation for IT infrastructure? Scalability. We want to anticipate and evolve with new technologies. Now we have everything we need to support the different technologies in Colruyt Group's diverse IT landscape: from Mainframe over Linux to Windows servers.”
Christophe: “One example: ten years ago, hardly anyone talked about the cloud. However, we managed to adapt our systems well to this development. Meanwhile, we also have a lot of cloud applications and our data centres are directly connected to the internet. We are not dependent on third parties and, in function of the right solution, we can opt for tools in the cloud or our own data centres with more computing power. It means we are now moving towards a hybrid cloud environment.”
What are some other advantages of having your own data centre?
Marc: “Centralisation of all our IT systems: this is not only cost-efficient, it also allows us to do business more sustainably. Our data centres are designed with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind.”
Sustainable data centres, what does that look like?
Christophe: “More efficient cooling is an important aspect: we keep cold and hot air flows physically separated. And we don't use water to keep our infrastructure at the right temperature. The water stays in a closed circuit. That's how we do free-cooling.”
Marc: “With our efficient configurations, systems only run when they have to. The energy our data centres consumes is green electricity, generated by our own wind turbines and solar panels. To monitor energy consumption closely, we have set up certain KPIs. If those indicators are not met, we know it is time for action.”

Through numerous processes the images are reduced from their actual form and then re-translated into the resulting final piles of flour on the floor. The outer rectangular shapes are taken from a spoken language and translated into a binary language. These processes leave only blurred fragments of information of the authentic source material. The flour is installed on site and arranged into thousands of small piles, which physically allude to the idea of impermanence and the visual sensation of permanence at the same time like a Tibetan sand mandala.

Mitogens substances outside the cell which stimulate cell proliferation and growth factors usually act on cell surface receptors to activate signalling molecules which affect gene transcription leading to accelerated cell growth. Oncogene proteins are also present in the intracellular signalling from integrins surface proteins mediating cell motility, attachment and associated growth signals. Whereas tumor suppressor gene mutations can be described as "faulty brakes", oncogenes can be characterized as "stuck accelerator pedal". Most growth factors act by binding to transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptors on the cell surface membrane.
Outlook Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in women, and the second main cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. Advances in screening and treatment have improved survival rates dramatically since There are around 3.
The chance of any woman dying from breast cancer is around 1 in 37, or 2.
Inaroundnew diagnoses of breast cancer are expected in women, and around 40, women are likely to die from the disease. Awareness of the symptoms and the need for screening are important ways of reducing the risk. Breast cancer can affect men toobut this article will focus on breast cancer in women.
Fast facts on breast cancer: Here are some key points about breast cancer. More detail is in the main article.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women.
Symptoms include a lump or thickening of the breast, and changes to the skin or the nipple. Risk factors can be genetic, but some lifestyle factors, such as alcohol intake, make it more likely to happen.
A range of treatments is available, including surgery, radiation therapyand chemotherapy. Many breast lumps are not cancerous, but any woman who is concerned about a lump or change should see a doctor. Symptoms The first symptoms of breast cancer are usually an area of thickened tissue in the breast, or a lump in the breast or in an armpit.
An early diagnosis of breast cancer increases the chance of recovery. Stages Cancer is staged according to the size of the tumor and whether it has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. There are different ways of staging breast cancer.
One way is from stage 0 to 4, but these may be broken down into smaller stages. Known as ductal carcinoma in situ DCISthe cells are limited to within a duct and have not invaded surrounding tissues. At the beginning of this stage, the tumor is up to 2 centimeters cm across and it has not affected any lymph nodes.
The tumor is 2 cm across and it has started to spread to nearby nodes. The tumor is up to 5 cm across and it may have spread to some lymph nodes. The cancer has spread to distant organs, especially the bones, liver, brain, or lungs.
Causes After pubertya woman's breast consists of fat, connective tissue, and thousands of lobules, tiny glands that produce milk for breast-feeding. Tiny tubes, or ducts, carry the milk toward the nipple. In cancer, the body's cells multiply uncontrollably.
It is the excessive cell growth that causes cancer. Breast cancer usually starts in the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply them with milk. From there, it can spread to other parts of the body. Risk factors The exact cause remains unclear, but some risk factors make it more likely.This interactive feature offers a case vignette accompanied by essays that support either delivery at home or delivery in a hospital or hospital-affiliated birthing center.

Kaiser, Don't Deny
Patients need access to timely and consistent mental health services
Tossed back and forth between the psych and addiction medicine departmentPublished Tuesday, September 13, 2022
I’m truly afraid I’ll die in this fight for care. I’ve been tossed back and forth between the psych department and the addiction medicine department for years. All I want is a referral for a trauma based therapist that I can see regularly. In the last two years I’ve been to the ER four times, the psych ward twice, and participated in tons of groups and I can’t have any continuous care from a therapist. I just get overly medicated and then tossed to someone else. I’ve committed myself to the psych ward hoping that the social worker would make the referral. I’ve been hung up on by a crisis counselor in the psych department after they told me I needed to go through addiction medicine for help, and then ignored by and denied rehab by addiction medicine who said I needed to go through the psych department. I pay for insurance, and I want help and I can’t get anything until I’m suicidal or relapsing. Even then I’ve been told my relapse wasn’t bad enough. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Using the SAM mass spectrometer to measure the abundance of three isotopes that result from cosmic-ray bombardment—helium-3, neon-21, and argon-36—Farley and his colleagues calculated that the mudstone at Yellowknife Bay has been exposed at the surface for about 80 million years.
"All three of the isotopes give exactly the same answer; they all have their independent sources of uncertainty and complications, but they all give exactly the same answer.
The exposure of rock in Yellowknife Bay has been caused by wind erosion.
Over time, as wind blows sand against the small cliffs, or scarps, that bound the Yellowknife outcrop, the scarps erode back, revealing new rock that previously was not exposed to cosmic rays."Imagine that you are in this site a hundred million years ago; the area that we drilled in was covered by at least a few meters of rock.
Cosmic rays are known to degrade the organic molecules that may be telltale fossils of ancient life.
However, because the rock at Yellowknife Bay has only been exposed to cosmic rays for 80 million years—a relatively small sliver of geologic time—"the potential for organic preservation at the site where we drilled is better than many people had guessed," Farley says.
That is probably the most remarkable thing I've ever seen as a scientist, given the difficulty of the analyses," Farley says.
This also helps researchers looking for evidence of past life on Mars.
One technique, potassium-argon dating, determines the age of a rock sample by measuring how much argon gas it contains.Although researchers have determined the ages of rocks from other planetary bodies, the actual experiments—like analyzing meteorites and moon rocks—have always been done on Earth.Now, for the first time, researchers have successfully determined the age of a Martian rock—with experiments performed on Mars.Crater counting relies on the simple fact that planetary surfaces are repeatedly bombarded with objects that scar their surface with impact craters; a surface with many impact craters is presumed to be older than one with fewer craters.
Although this method is simple, it has large uncertainties."What surprising was that our result—from a technique that was implemented on Mars with little planning on Earth—got a number that is exactly what crater counting predicted," Farley says.Furthermore, the "young" surface exposure offers insight into the erosion history of the site.

After the huge success of Tyneside Ultimate 80s, featuring a roller disco and headline performance from pop sensation Sonia, event promoters Nineteen32 have announced another infusion of nostalgic, party fun with Tyneside Ultimate 90s Christmas.
The event Saturday, December 16 will see the Linskill Centre transform into a flamboyant, festive scene set to take you back to your youth.
The doors open at 5pm and the entertainment will be full of energy from the very start as the retro DJ hits the decks, playing all of the floor fillers from pop music’s greatest decade. The night will also feature a live performance from a 90s themed band, before headline act, Five, take centre stage.
In their late 90s and early Noughties heyday, Five sold 2.4 million records in the UK alone thanks to hit singles like Got The Feelin’, Until The Time is Through, If Ya Gettin’ Down, Let’s Dance and of course Keep on Movin’.
Four of them reunited for the hit first series of The Big Reunion in 2013 and its subsequent tour and since 2014 Ritchie, Sean and Scott have toured as a trio, playing numerous events including South Tyneside Festival in 2015 and Newcastle Pride last year.
Gearing up for Tyneside Ultimate 90s Christmas, Nineteen32 events manager Sarah said, “We’re really excited about this event! We want to give people a chance to relive their youth with the great line up of live entertainment and the magical, festive atmosphere.
“We’re really proud to be bringing national touring artists like Five to the North Shields borough. This time of year is a favourite for all of the team and it really comes across in the effort that is being put into Tyneside Ultimate 90s Christmas.”
Tickets for the event are £25 and available online from Eventbrite.

After the success of Black Panther and other comic book film properties that has spurred eBay’s comic sales to increase by 30%, eBay has launched a Black Panther destination.
This new Black Panther destination will feature “a curated collection of memorabilia from the Oscar-nominated film including high-value and accessible comics,” eBay’s Vice President of Merchandising at eBay North America Sam Bright told me. He added, “Top items include rare comics, signed memorabilia, action figures, Funko Pop and more. The collection also includes superhero memorabilia you can’t find elsewhere.”
As for what is spurring the 30% increase in sales, Bright relays they are seeing customers purchasing both newer comics as well as back issues.
“We’re seeing buyers looking for both newer comics and back issues. We have experienced collectors who come to eBay every day to find rare and hard-to-find issues they’re looking to add to their collection.”
Bright informed me that they are seeing “interest spike from novice comic collectors shopping in both the comic and collectibles categories.” He notes that “one in five Black Panther comic buyers were first time comic buyers on eBay.”
Bright would elaborate saying, “we are selling more comics as more first-timecomic buyers
As for those new Black Panther comic buyers, Bright details what they are buying on eBay:
“We have seen new comic buyers purchase new comics relating to popular Hollywood film adaptations. With novice buyers, we’ve seen this shopper looking for amazing value and newer, more mainstream comics that speak to their interests. “
Bright did indicate that the increase in sales also stems from partnerships with comic artists like Sanford Greene and Neal Adams for “‘eBay exclusive variants’ which include the following special editions: “The Return of Wolverine #1” “Black Panther: Sound and Fury #1,” “Marvel Legacy #1,” and “The Spectacular Spider-Man #1” (which sold out in 26 hours).”
He’s also seeing increased interest from a number of superheroes that have recently been adapted into feature films “such as Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, Wolverine and Superman, as well as previously lesser-known characters from “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Logan” and “X-Men.””
In fact, Black Panther and Spider-Man comic sales have seen a 20% increase “in the month leading up to the Oscars this year.”
I asked what was driving this 20% increase for Black Panther and Spider-Man comics and Sam pointed to “strong interest for Fantastic Four #52 (the first comic appearance of Black Panther in 1966) when the film was announced and again when it received critical claim.”
Bright would also point to a number of high-value Spider-Man and Black Panther comics that are currently on eBay:
- Amazing Fantasy #15 1962 CGC 4.5
- Edge of Spider-Verse (Marvel) #2B 2014 Land 1:25 Variant CGC 9.8
- Miles Morales The Ultimate Spider-Man TBP (Marvel) Ultimate Collection #1-REP NM
- Black Panther (1977 Marvel 1st Series) 1 CGC 9.8 SS Stan Lee
- Black Panther The Sound and The Fury #1 2018 Greene CGC 9.8
- Black Panther (Marvel 4th Series) 1A 2009 Campbell Variant 1st Printing CGC 9.8
He provided us some hard numbers on their sales figures following the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming, Wonder Woman, and Thor: Ragnarok.
EBay sold over 205,000 Spider-Man comics. Sam tells us they were selling on average 43 every hour. They also sold over 55,000 Spider-Man action figures.
They sold over 47,700 Wonder Woman comic books and over 17,000 Wonder Woman action figures. He also relayed that Wonder Woman was the third most popular costume bought for Halloween.
They sold over 9,000 Thor comics and 15,000 action figures “since the release of the films.”
Given they’ve seen increased sales from comics based on the films, I was curious if he sees the value of these comics remaining high. He believes that the Oscars could actually increase the value of Black Panther and Spider-Man books:
“It depends on the comic. Pending the outcome of the Academy Awards on Sunday, Black Panther or Spider-Man take home an Oscar, we can anticipate that some of the value of the related inventory will increase. “
He would point to a number of Wonder Woman comics that sold for crazy high amounts following the Wonder Woman film starring Gal Gadot:
In August 2017, three rare comic books featuring “Wonder Woman”, who has experienced a resurgence after DC Comics’ movie starring Gal Gadot and directed by Patty Jenkins, were sold on eBay. The three comics: “All Star Comics #8,” sold for $936,223; “Sensation Comics #1,” for $399,100; and “Wonder Woman #1,” for $226,877.77. The former was the first comic with a female lead to approach the $1 million sale mark, which would also put it in the top 10 list of all-time record comic book sales.
Bright is already seeing increased interest in Captain Marvel and notes this is common for big movie releases.
“We are already seeing increased interest in Captain Marvel and overall female superhero titles, and can share more regarding Captain Marvel ahead of the March release. A rise in sales and searches in relation to movie releases is a regular trend on eBay. For example, sales of Wonder Woman merchandise more than doubled in the month leading up to the movie release in 2017.”
The Most Valued Comics on eBay
I also got to ask Sam Bright about the most valued comics on eBay and he detailed the three Wonder Woman comics as well as a near pristine Action Comics #1.
“The most expensive comic sold on eBay, “Action Comics #1” in was in 2014, for $3.2 million. It was a nearly flawless copy of Superman’s debut, created in 1938, and sold by Darren Adams, owner of Pristine Comics. A portion of the proceeds went to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.Last August, Adams also sold three rare comic books featuring “Wonder Woman” on eBay, who has experienced a resurgence after DC Comics’ blockbuster. The three were “All Star Comics #8,” which sold for $936,223; “Sensation Comics #1,” for $399,100; and “Wonder Woman #1,” for $226,877.77. The former was the first comic with a female lead to approach the $1 million sale mark.”
The Most In-Demand Comics and Characters on eBay
As for the most in-demand comics, Bright pointed to Amazing Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Nyx, Black Panther, and Harley Quinn.
The most popular characters are who you would expect they include “Batman, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Deadpool, Green Lantern, Harley Quinn, Superman and Wolverine.”
What do you make of eBay’s increased sales and the types of comics they are selling? Do you plan to check out the new Black Panther destination? Do you plan on buying up any old comics where movies and television shows might bring the character to new heights of popularity?

As COVID-19 continues to surge across the US, art museums are losing millions of dollars in revenue, leaving about one-third of all institutions at risk of permanent closures, according to a recent survey by the American Alliance of Museums. Smaller institutions are far less able to rely on endowments to survive the financial burden of the COVID-19 crisis. The Art Museum Futures Fund’s second round of grants will be distributed to 14 small-sized arts museums with strong and long-standing commitments to the local community and social justice. Grants will be used to support general operations.
“America’s small-sized arts and culture institutions sustain their communities by providing access to transformative and wide-ranging artistic contributions while also preserving many different histories and cultural legacies,” said Elizabeth Alexander, President of the Mellon Foundation. “As the pandemic continues to threaten the future viability of museums that have long been underresourced, we must do our part to strengthen support for these organizations and the trenchant work they tirelessly undertake to enrich and expand our American story.”
The Mellon Foundation launched the Art Museum Futures Fund in September 2020 with the distribution of nearly $24 million to 12 midsized arts museums and cultural organizations across the country facing unprecedented financial obstacles as a result of the pandemic. With today’s announced grants supporting smaller museums, Mellon’s contribution to the Art Museum Futures Fund totals $27 million, furthering the Foundation’s commitment to funding the recovery of art institutions as they adapt to the ongoing financial obstacles posed by the pandemic.

Blyth Spartans midfielder Neal Hooks admitted taking three points on the road for the first time since late September was a “big relief”.
Robbie Dale’s looping header midway through the second half gave Tom Wade’s side the win at play-off rivals King’s Lynn Town and that meant they took their first maximum on the road since the win at Barwell on September 28.
Former Spennymoor man Hooks challenged his side to build on the win as they look to end the season well.
He said: “It’s a big relief, I didn’t realise it had been that long if I’m honest.
“It’s a massive win and we need to carry on the momentum we have built from the win and go into the next game with confidence.”
After the win in Norfolk, Spartans sit in seventh place of the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League and are within touching distance of the top five.
With results going their way, Hooks admitted that they had identified an improvement in their away form as a catalyst for a real play-off challenge.
“We always need to beat the teams around us if we are going to get into a play-off position,” he said.
“It’s all well and good rolling over teams at home, but we have to start doing it away is just what we need to do right now.”
Whilst Dale will take the plaudits as match-winner, anyone in attendance at The Walks would have witnessed a team performance from Spartans.
However, Hooks picked out two of his team-mates for praise and it was a duo who did as much as anyone to ensure a well earned clean sheet was in the bag.
“We were excellent as a team today and it was a real team performance,” he said.
“I have to give special mention to Conor Grant who made some tremendous stops and Damen Mullen has come straight back in after a long time out and put in a great performance.”
