KINGSTON — The man charged with helping the Roane County Board of Education find a new school director says it was a "pretty difficult chore" to trim a list of 33 applicants down to 10 semifinalists.
Wayne Qualls, hired to oversee the search, presented those contenders to the school board Thursday.
Three semifinalists are currently in the Roane County School System.
Donald Andrews, Ashboro, N.C., superintendent of the Randolph, N.C., School System;
Gary Aytes, Wartburg, Tenn., a central office supervisor in the Roane County School System;
Phillip Burchfield, superintendent of Clinton, Miss., school system;
Eric Ely, superintendent of Southbridge, Mass., schools;
Mary Ann Gemmill, a Clinton, Tenn., native who just retired as chief administrative officer for the Naples, Fla., school system;
John Green, Suwanee, Ga., principal of Madison (Ala.) High School;
Donald Hopper, superintendent of the Hardeman County, Tenn., school system;
Wayne Honeycutt, retired superintendent of the Loudon County School System;
Elizabeth Rose, Kingston, principal of Cherokee Middle School in Roane County;
Keevin Woody, Kingston, principal of Midway Elementary, also in the Roane County School System.
Qualls said the board will conduct interviews April 12-13 and April 26-27 to further trim the list, and will likely vote in early May on the successor to Dr. Toni McGriff, who is retiring June 30 as head of the 7,500-student school system.

It’s been revealed that Disney’s CEO, Bob Chapek won’t be attending this year’s D23 event, which I have to say is quite strange.
This news comes to us from Inside The Magic who reports that the Disney CEO is going to be sitting the event out.
What’s very strange to me is that this would be his first D23 as CEO and I would have thought that he would have wanted to be front and centre.
However, given recent developments at Disney this year, they might be thinking internally that it would be best to not have Chapek be the face of the company.
At least, they might not want him to be the public face of Disney and let Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar’s heads take the lead.
What’s going on with D23?
Here’s what Inside The Magic wrote about Chapek being taken off the event:
It seems as though Disney has quietly removed Chapek from the welcome presentation as his name is no longer listed on the website.
Inside the Magic has since found out that the reasoning Chapek will no longer attend Destination D23 is due to a scheduling conflict.
This seems like a pretty odd reason to me.
Bob Chapek will not be attending Disney’s D23 event this year
What could conflict with D23 – one of Disney’s biggest public events?
The D23 website has previously stated that Bob Chapek would make an appearance during the welcome presentation:
Presentation Highlights of Destination D23 2021 will include*:
A kickoff welcome presentation with Bob Chapek, CEO, The Walt Disney Company.
What’s New and What’s Next for Disney Parks, Experiences and Products—Chairman Josh D’Amaro will share what’s new and what’s next for Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. The exclusive presentation will feature updates on some of the most anticipated projects around the world. And as D23 Members know, there is always a surprise or two in store!
Well, Chapek is not longer going to be at the event, and a Disney spokesperson then told Inside the Magic that the reason Chapek is no longer listed and will not attend is due to a scheduling conflict.
They claim that the Disney CEO has a previous commitment and it’s not in the state of Florida.
Here’s what the Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler told Inside the Magic:
Bob has a conflict in LA on Friday night and couldn’t make it back to Orlando on time.

Headache, an umbrella term that shelters probably numerous types of headaches and neck pain, is a common term that everyone uses now and then. Every person has experienced some sort of headache at least at some point in their lives. But the cause and type of headache that you are having cannot be diagnosed on your own. You must visit a doctor and he will let you know what exactly causes your headache and how it can be treated.
Depending on the cause of headache, headaches can be of many types. Understanding what triggers your pain, may help you to understand the type of headache that you are suffering from.
This is probably the most common type that you will find to occur in 30 to 70% of all people. Any and every person can have this headache once or more. As the name suggests, it is caused by tension and has nothing to do with any other causes. The feeling of pain too is quite different from migraine or sinus and is often described by patients as â€˜grip-like' pain at the back of the head and on both sides. Unlike the other types of headaches, pain cause by tension is often mild and is not worsened due to any reason.
Have you ever felt your pain in head in batches? That might be a cluster headache. Unlike all other types of headaches, this one occurs only on one side of the head. It can stay for 15 minutes or eve up to 3 hours. In some cases, you might experience up to 8 attacks of pain, whereas certain people also experience this pain to recur on every alternate day. The symptoms are:
- Sweating on forehead and face.
- Nasal congestion.
This is caused by congestion in sinus. Sinus can easily be treated once it is diagnosed. Often it is mistaken as migraine. But as you see a doctor, he will let you know whether it is sinus or migraine.
This is a throbbing pain in head. It can last for 4 to 72 hours and the cause is unknown. Usually associated with the imbalance in brain chemicals, this has no cure. Some factors worsen the pain and they are:
- Physical activity.
Medication overuse headache:
You might not have thought of this, but the medicines that you are taking to cure some headaches or other medical conditions, might cause a rebound of headache. What makes it worse is every time you take those medicines the headache gets worse. "Triptans" are often blamed for these type of headaches. See a doctor to tell this problem at once, so that he can change your medication.
Other primary headaches:
This list doesn't end up yet. There are some other types of headaches that cannot be clubbed with either tension-type, cluster or caused by medicines. These are:
- â€˜Thunderclap' headaches that occur in pregnant women with great intensity and suddenly. This is caused by a narrowing of blood vessels.
- Headaches caused by coughing.

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) announced Wednesday a major step in its industrial expansion into Asia with the opening of its $500 million engine plant in the south-central city of Chongqing, part of the automaker’s joint venture with state-owned Chang'an Automobile (Group) Co., Ltd.
The Changan Ford Engine Plant can build 400,000 engines a year, which, added to the current 350,000 engines Ford build annually in China, would more than double the production.
The new capacity will enable Ford to unleash a slew of models in China, which is at the center of the company’s Asia-Pacific expansion plans.
“The 1.5- and 1.0-liter engines produced will help power Ford’s continued growth here in the world’s largest automotive market,” said Alan Mulally, president and chief executive officer of Ford, in announcing the news.
The new 41-acre plant will divvy up production between two Ford engines: the 1.5-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder and the company’s highly touted 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. The engines will be used in popular Ford models such as the EcoSport mini SUV and the Fiesta mini compact.
Ford says it will release 15 models into the Chinese market by the end of 2015. The company plans to build three more plants in China and two more plants in Asia outside of China by the end of the decade.

PHOENIX (Talk Now AZ) – Those harmless-looking pastel pills above are killing Arizona teens. Each pill contains a lethal drug called fentanyl. Or maybe it doesn’t. It’s impossible to tell just by looking at it. Each time a teen – or anybody, for that matter - pops one of them, they gamble with their lives
The fatal dose of fentanyl might be in the first pill somebody takes or the 100th. “It’s like playing Russian roulette,” said Shelly Mowrey of Talk Now AZ, which exists to help parents like you keep your kids safe. “I’ve had parents tell me their child took a pill with enough fentanyl to kill four people in it. You just never know what’s in these pills.”
And cutting a pill in half does not make it a safer dose. Made solely to fill a drug cartel's coffers, the pills are not manufactured with any precision, and, of course, there's no oversight or even concern about safety. As long as they get paid, the dealers could not care less about what happens to the people who take their poison. If – make that when – a customer overdoses and dies, they'll just recruit another. And another. And another. There are plenty of potential victims. And your teen could be their next prey.
We’ve been warned for years about counterfeit pills called M30s or “Mexican Oxy.” We know what to look for because we’ve seen countless pictures and videos of them. They’re blue and stamped with an M on one side and a 30 on the other side. We know they’re not real OxyContin or Percocet. We know they’re dangerous. Now disguised in pretty pastel colors, still with the telltale M30, these deadly counterfeit pills have evolved. New look. Same danger. “They’re known as ‘rainbows’ or ‘skittles,’” explained Mowrey. Parents need to know how teenagers are getting their hands on rainbows and skittles.
It's shockingly easy
When you picture a drug dealer in your mind, you might see a person hanging out on a street corner, furtively looking around as they surreptitiously exchange cash for pills with a passer-by or a driver paused at a stop sign. That might have been accurate once upon a time. But just as the drugs have evolved, so have the people pushing them.
Like most of us, they've kept up with the times and the technology that has become ubiquitous. They're savvy and sophisticated and have weaponized two things many of us, including your teenagers, use every day – probably several times a day – without a second thought.
Cellphones and social media
How many times a day do you check your cellphone? How many of those check-ins are on social media? Whatever the number is for you, you can be sure it's higher for your teens. Probably much higher. And drug dealers know it. They go where the teens, their customers – their victims – hang out. Instagram. Snapchat. TikTok. Facebook Messenger.
“Parents don’t realize that there is a lot of drug-selling activity on those social media apps,” Mowrey said.
Whatever technology your kids use to communicate, so do drug dealers. They know how kids think. What they want. How to get to them. How to “make friends” with them. How to build trust and get them to try something they might not otherwise.
“As soon as a kid says, ‘Hey, you know, I’ve had a bad day,’ or ‘I’m not feeling great,’ or ‘I’m a little bit stressed,’ a [dealer] will offer one of these pills that they say is a legitimate prescription,” Mowrey explained. “It’s not. There’s no prescription medication in these pills. It’s all fentanyl and binder material.” They might look like the real deal. They’re designed that way. But no matter what anybody might say, make no mistake, any pill that does not come from a legitimate pharmacy is counterfeit.
“My kid is too smart for that,” you’re thinking. Yes, they are. Until they’re not. “Smarts” has very little to do with it.
It starts with “friends” and likes
In this age of social media, followers and likes are everything to many kids. They’re happy to make “friends” with somebody who compliments them, understands them, and seems to be just like them. The problem is you never know who is really behind the profile picture and comments. Drug dealers are skilled manipulators. Their business depends on being convincing.
And social media, which is meant to connect people, is the conduit. It's great to keep up with neighbors, far-flung friends, relatives across the county, and people you knew in high school or college. It's fun to meet new people with similar interests. But there's a definite dark side to social media.
“I think that there is a false sense of security in the way that parents and adults consume social media versus the way our kids and teenagers and preteens are consuming social media,” Mowrey said.
Social networks claim to be doing everything they can to protect our kids, but in reality, that's questionable at best. They might shut down some accounts, but new ones crop up almost immediately. It's the worst game ever of Whack-a-Mole.
“It’s just like ordering a pizza.”
These days, especially since the pandemic, it's easier than ever to have anything you might want or need delivered to your door – a pizza or any other meal, groceries, the latest must-have from Amazon, legit prescriptions and medications. And fake ones.
Amy Neville knows that first-hand. Her son Alex, who had just turned 14, died of a fentanyl overdose. She's the one who found him.
“He looked like he had just fallen asleep on his beanbag chair – except that he was blue,” she recently told Arizona’s Family anchor and reporter Jared Dillingham. “He wasn’t breathing. He was cold. I knew right away.”
Neville believes Alex used a Visa gift card to buy pills from a dealer on a social media app.
“It’s super easy,” Alex’s younger sister Eden said. “It’s just like ordering a pizza.”
It's up to us to protect our kids and help them learn to protect themselves. It's the only way to keep them alive.
“Talk Now AZ strongly encourages parents to monitor and check their kids’ cell phones at least two times a week,” Mowrey said.
Kids on social media chat in emojis. Do you know what they're really saying? Like everything else, the language and codes change, but the Drug Enforcement Administration recently put out a guide to help parents and caregivers decipher what they see on their kids' phones.
One emoji to watch for in particular is the electric plug. (🔌) It could mean your teen is “plugged in” and chatting with a drug dealer. Keep an eye out for 🍁, as well. The DEA says it’s a “universal emoji for drugs.”
The DEA's list is not all-inclusive, but it's a start. And there is something parents need to keep in mind.
“Emojis, on their own, should not be indicative of illegal activity,” the DEA says. “But coupled with a change in behavior, change in appearance, or significant loss/increase in income should be a reason to start an important conversation."
The world is a very different place than when today’s parents were growing up. Conversations that might have waited a year or two back then need to happen early and often. Remember how “Stop, drop, and roll” was hammered into our young brains? This is like that. But while you probably have not caught fire and used “stop, drop, and roll,” your kids, in all likelihood, will encounter drugs at some point in their lives. How they handle it depends on what you do now.
It's not just a single conversation
The first conversations should start when your kids are in elementary school, Mowrey said. “Explain to your child that you never take a medication from anyone that doesn’t come from a bottle, that doesn’t have your name on it,” she suggested. You can have that conversation in first grade.
When your child hits middle-school age, build on that by teaching them that the pills they might see online are fake and can be deadly. Ask them if they or their friends have seen anything like that, or if somebody has offered them a pill.
“And then, as you get into high school, you’re carrying on that conversation,” Mowrey said. And while you’re doing that, you’re also looking ahead to college or when they move out.
Mowrey also explained one thing every teen and young adult needs to know. It's about the Good Samaritan Law.
“What the Good Samaritan Law is that if a teenager is ever present at the scene of an overdose or someone drinking too much and passing out, if they call 911 to report that … [and] an ambulance comes, your child will not be arrested and they will not be prosecuted, even if they’ve been using substances themselves,” she said. “That’s especially important for your child heading off to college. … If they call for help, they will not be arrested."
Because every teen is different, you must figure out the right approach for your kids.
Have a rescue plan
“Here is one thing that works for every kid across the board – having a rescue plan,” Mowrey said. It’s very simple. Agree on a code phrase that they can text you if they find themselves in a situation where they’re not comfortable. Any situation. Make sure that they know that you will go to them anytime, anywhere. Mowrey did it with her son. Their code was, “I forgot to feed the dog.” That was all he needed to text.
Mowrey also suggests creating a contract between you and your child that clearly lays out what they can and cannot do with their phone and what they will be expected to give you in terms of access.
There’s no silver bullet when it comes to keeping our kids safe. What we can do, however, is implement multiple layers of protection. “We try to put everything in place that we can to help prevent something from happening,” Mowrey said.


text: Bone marrow has long been known to be a source of stem cells capable of regeneration of the hematopoeitic system. Recent reports, however, have indicated that bone marrow might also contain early stem cells that can differentiate into other organ tissues such as skin. While these studies have illustrated that bone marrow stem cells could find their way to the skin, they have not addressed the dynamics of how bone marrow stem cells might participate in the homeostatis and regeneration of skin. In this report we followed green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeled bone marrow transplanted into non-GFP mice in order to determine the participation of bone marrow stem cells in cutaneous wounds. Our results indicate that there are a significant number of bone marrow cells that traffic through both wounded and non-wounded skin. Wounding stimulated the engraftment of bone marrow cells to the skin and induced bone marrow derived cells to incorporate into and differentiate into non-hematopoietic skin structures. This report thus illustrates that bone marrow might be a valuable source of stem cells for the skin and possibly other organs. Wounding could be a stimulus for bone marrow derived stem cells to travel to organs and aid in the regeneration of damaged tissue. © 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Figs are one of my favourite fruit and the season is sadly so short… Therefore I cannot resist buying them when I happen to find them on a London fruit stall. I found these in Bayswater as I was coming out of my exam room last week and bought a huge bag of it. The smell was all I needed to feel on holiday again…
This recipe was inspired by a dish my friend Sandrine made for us once at her beautiful place Le Domaine des Clos in Provence. Sandrine is married to a childhood friend of mine and I love spending time with them in the summer because they love what they do and they do it well and their friendship is one of the things that I always can count on when I head back to my birth town. I had kept a fragrant memory of this meal and especially of the plump figs, stewed in thick juice and creamy goat cheese that were served as a starter.
Fruit stall in one of Berlin’s markets
- 10 to 12 figs, unpeeled and washed
- 200g of fresh goat cheese
- 150 of cream cheese
- Handful of chopped basil
- Cracked pepper
Wash and cut the tail end of the figs.
Slice them and arrange in an oven proof dish.
Mix the goat cheese and cream cheese together – This is only for the local version as English goat cheese tend to be dryer ; whereas elsewhere you might use a fresh creamy goat cheese on its own.
Drop dollops of the cheese amongst the fruit. Add pepper and basil leaves.
Bake in a hot oven for 30 minutes until the fruit are cooked and the juice has thickened. It is usually even better reheated the next day!
Serve as a starter with some Muscat de Rivesaltes or Sauternes. I adored this with a bottle of Macia Batle Dolce from Mallorca – a sweet white with remarquable balance and powerful aromas of white flowers and almond.
Figs and cheese
Rum and raisin frozen yogurt
To celebrate the hottest summer in many many years – or as far as my memories of London can stretch- I give you a lovely frozen yogurt embellished by a touch of spirit! and a scatter of sultanas.
- Demerara sugar 200g
- Water 150ml
- Raisins sultanas 200g
- Greek yogurt 1 L pot
- Vanilla in “jelly” or vanilla bean, scraped
- Dark rum
Make a syrup with 200g of sugar, two capfuls of dark rum and a small glass (150ml) of water. Melt all of the sugar and reduce the syrup a little bit but without getting to a boil: You do not want to get to a caramel ! Switch off : Throw the raisins in the pan and get them to soak the juice for a little while.
Leave to cool.
Mix a large tub of Greek yogurt (1L) with the cooled syrup and a small spoonful of vanilla jelly – I have just discovered this product and I love it: it’s great and easy to use in puddings and pastry, plus it lasts longer and there is less wastage than with vanilla pods. In the Uk, it is sold at Waitrose: try the Organic vanilla bean paste by Taylor and Colledge.
Beat the yogurt with a whisk, add some rum to taste and pour the mix into your ice-cream maker or just into a container and in the freezer.
The tangy yogurt complements the rum and vanilla flavour so well I do not know why I had not thought of it earlier… This frozen yogurt is delicious and goes very well with fresh brownies. This is indeed how I served it last night to friends from Spain on a very hot summer evening in London… But this week-end, should the nice weather continue to hold, I am heading to West Wittering, my favourite British beach… See you on Monday!
I scream for Ice cream! Except that’s a yogurt…
For me today, there is life BEFORE and AFTER Pedro…
Here is a fresh idea for a sophisticated breakfast or a light lunch:
Take a slice of Pain Poilâne – or chunky wholemeal- , spread it with cream cheese, slice fresh strawberries, chop some mint on top, give it a shake of black pepper and a swirl of Pedro Jimenez reduction and savour with a cup of Earl Grey, a jug of Pims or a glass of Prosecco! I am talking PROPER breakfast here : the kind you want just before you are off to Ascot or Henley or Wimbledon… And the touch of Pedro here is just the thing to make you swoon. If no Pedro, then try just a dash of thick balsamic vinegar or even some dark honey… Though Pedro IS irreplacable, you can make substitutes – much like you do in a football match when things don’t quite work out!!! What on earth is happening to Brazil right now???!!! Come on Guys…
This is light snack food at its best! On top of that, it is super healthy and delicious so why not indulge…
Shop version from Le Pain Quotidien in Marylebone
More of a tip than a recipe but here is another photo to show you how it all gets together – in case you thought the above was complex. This is tomato, basil, artichoke in brine and PEDRO…

For many people, dealing with missing teeth or damaged teeth can be a really hard experience. That is why dental implants in Cincinnati, OH, should be considered when people are looking to replace their missing with a restorative tooth replacement option. But, what exactly makes people candidates for dental implants?
There are numerous ways people can be candidates for dental implants. With the help of sedation dentistry, patients can get the dental implant procedures they need. Continue reading to learn more about how people can qualify for dental implants.
When Do You Need Dental Implants In Cincinnati, OH?
When people have a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth, their self-esteem can suffer, and it can be harder for them to eat the foods they love or smile with confidence. Oral health problems can also occur when people have missing teeth. The oral health problems people can experience include their remaining teeth moving out of alignment and the onset of progressive jawbone atrophy, which can cause people to appear older than they are.
When these problems occur, people should get treated with dental implants to solve these problems. Dental implants are a gold standard tooth replacement option that can restore a patient’s dental functionality and enhance their smile aesthetics for years to come.
Can Anyone Be A Candidate For Dental Implants In Cincinnati, OH?
As long as people are in good oral and overall health, they are good candidates for dental implants. People just need enough jawbone density and volume in order for their new smile to be properly supported with dental implants. This applies to almost everyone who is looking to receive a fully restored smile.
What Exactly Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are composed of three main parts:
Dental Implant Post:
The dental implant post is designed to act like a natural tooth root. When the dental implant post is strategically placed in the patient’s jawbone, it fuses with it and becomes a permanent of their smile. The dental implant post also stimulates the jawbone to keep it healthy and strong.
The abutment is what attaches the dental implant post to the prosthesis.
Prosthesis (or crown):
The prosthesis (or crown) is custom made to look natural and aesthetically pleasing in the patients smile.
Dental implants restore patients smiles with functional and beautiful looking teeth. By getting treated with dental implants, the patient’s self-confidence is improved. They are a true investment that are made up of strong materials that will last a lifetime, if they are accurately placed by a skilled doctor.
How Do Dental Implants Benefit Me?
Dental implants are considered to be a gold standard tooth replacement option for a variety of reasons. The following are some of the numerous benefits that people experience when they get treated with dental implants.
- Durable and long-lasting
- Restores dental functionality
- Improves people’s confidence in their smile
- Replaces one or more missing or damaged teeth
- Gives patients a beautiful and natural looking new smile
When people get treated with dental implants, they will be able to eat the foods they love, have a stable and secure smile, and they won’t be embarrassed to share their new smile with everyone.

Having read Maureen Dowd's recent hack at Goldman Sachs ("Doing God's Work!?!" Nov. 12), I offer a defense of the freedom to pay stellar pay to star performers, in a Pittsburgh context. Ben Roethlisberger makes just over $10 million a year, all things considered. Isn't that too much? Shouldn't the Rooney organization trim these excesses?
No, that way likes mediocrity, that's the road to uncompetitiveness -- just look at the Pirates.
You may object that, if every organization follows the same rules, you can still trim excesses. For a counter-example, look at Major League Soccer. There, every team has strict pay scales to adhere to; no MLS player makes even $1 million. (Beckham and Pele were some of the few special cases.) So, where do the best American soccer players play? Europe, where no such rules exist.
If you want to see the best soccer leagues in the world, you'd go to London or Frankfurt or Madrid. It would be a shame if the same were to be said about investment banks.

(Young Awa boy in front of illegally torched forest. Image property of Peter Frey.)
The Awa people have been described as the world's most endangered ethnic group. For years now they have faced the tribulations of disease and illness that come from initial contact with the outside world. This has been compounded by the illegal logging and torching of their forest in Brazil's portion of the Amazon. When they dare to stand their ground the reality of fighting guns and fire with bows and spears always pits the Awa against annihilation. A simple bow and arrow after all is no match for the modern firearms that the illegal loggers use to push Awa deeper into the forest.
History has shown the Americas how this initial contact drama has played out in the past. When the Europeans came to the Americas the "virgin soil" epidemics spread a weapon far more fatal than their bullets could every be. Diseases, such as small pox, were utilized by Spanish, English, and French explorers who sought out gold, soil, and fame. These epidemics drastically culled the tribes as the white conquers continued to push westward. At times the biological warfare was all the Europeans needed to decimate given tribes.
In the case of the Awa this phenomenon associated with initial contact cannot be documented for sure. We do not know how many Awa are still left uncontacted by the outside world. Therefore we cannot determine just how many will perish as loggers, trains, and oil corporations push their way into the rainforest. Yet if we look at the long and tragic history of tribal extinction in both North and South America we can see that the few who will survive will be a minute percent of how many Awa currently remain alive.
Since the start of massive waves of illegal logging on Awa land the indigenous people have lost at least 30 percent of their forests. The loss of this timber contributes to reported hunger and starvation amongst Awa peoples. Without the cover of the forest the Awa people, who are nomadic and survive upon hunting and gathering, cannot find the game animals they traditionally hunt. If the animals the Awa need to survive are continually killed in massive amounts by outsiders (poachers and loggers alike) the Awa will suffer increased hunger. And with hunger comes desperation that could lead to more Awa being forced into contact with the outside world.
For native peoples in North America hunger was used as a weapon to keep the population of the tribes on the Great Plains under control. Herds of buffalo were slaughtered intentionally as the government and private enterprise offered incentive by buying the hides at inflated prices. Railroads were then pushed out across the plains and as a result the buffalo were killed off at an ever increasing rate. This led to starvation and the displacement of countless tribes. Those who could no longer find food were offered by the United States cultural extinction through the reservation process.
In Brazil the Awa are given limited legal protection. Their right to live in their homeland free and unexploited is left in the hands of a government that has struggled to muster the needed force to protect the Awa. Instead of offering reservations the Brazilian government has decided to attempt to isolate the Awa and keep their land free of invading settlers and outside companies. This however has been a failed policy.
Hunger and disease have been spread rapidly among the Awa people. With the Vale railway company pushing to double it's railway tracks through Awa territory the threat of both hunger and disease increases. Campaigns to protest and block the company from expanding their destructive exploitation of Awa lands have seen no real gains as the Brazilian government looks the other way.
In July of 2013 the Brazilian government did however deploy troops to the Awa lands where they were ordered to defend the rainforest at all cost. They were given permission to arrest loggers, illegal settlers, and poachers without restraint. Yet the campaign showed little effect as Awa were once again put in a position where likely contact with the outside world was drastically increased. The trade off in this push by Brazil was that logging camps, unlawful ranches, and poachers were temporarily pushed out while Awa were exposed to tanks, helicopters, and state troops.
So what is the threat of contact exactly?
With contact comes the loss of cultural identities that many in the outside world find almost valueless. Like tribes around the world, the Awa stand to lose their traditional way of life, their language, and their social structure. The push with contacted tribes has always been one of forced assimilation and the cultural genocide of native ways of life. This has been evident in contacted native populations across the Amazon. Brazil being no exception to this tragic reality.
Contact with the outside world has also proven to be often more fatal than the world community first admits. From the 1980's, when Brazil first allowed the railway and mine constructions on Awa land, the workers for outside companies have committed countless massacres against Awa families. These atrocities have been committed in both efforts to push Awa out of their homes and to support other heinous crimes. Awa who are spotted by rail workers and loggers are therefore at risk of being shot on sight.
Cattle ranchers have further shown why Awa people cannot trust outside invaders who show up on their lands. When cattle ranchers burn large portions of land they expose Awa to countless risk. Not only are Awa lives put at risk the animals that Awa both keep and hunt are endangered. Any Awa who are spotted during such activities are ran off or shot by ranchers who view the Awa as obstacles and not humans.
Health, food, and freedom are all put at risk through contact. These are all three things that the Awa cannot get back once they adapt to life amongst the outsiders. The health care system that Brazil has put in place for the Awa would be laughable if it wasn't so tragically flawed. The food that Awa have enjoyed for generations cannot be supplemented by the outside world. And the freedom to maintain their way of life as the Awa people see fit is immediately lost when they surrender their lands to the state and corporations.
All of this has left the world with one major question... how much is the preservation of a peoples' culture worth?
Lumber, iron ore, and much coveted land are all on the table as corporations and private enterprise wring their hands while looking at the Awa people's forests. The greed of the developed world cannot be ignored as the world community watches the extinction of a native people. Though we have watched it happen time and time again, we must now ask ourselves if any of these things are worth the value of this priceless treasure... the Awa people and their culture.
If we do nothing to stop the exploitation of the Awa we will watch as a portion of humanity's diversity is driven into history. Once the Awa are gone they will take everything they know with them. Every aspect of their lives, every aspect of their language, every aspect of their society will be lost for the rest of time.
You can learn more about the Awa by visiting Survival International.

|Special tank cleaning device|
We have 2 large plastic tanks, and they're easily cleaned with a small wheeled tank cleaner (I think we should name it WALL-E Jr.). It's hooked up to a pump via the top and bottom valves of the tank, and it blasts the entire tank with jets of peroxicarb and citric acid solutions.
A similar device is used to clean barrels. Some of our wine will go into new oak barrels (most are French oak, made in France, and shipped to our winery) while some will go into neutral (aka re-used) oak.
We hook the barrel cleaner to the power washer hose and blast the inside of re-used barrels with scalding hot water. The water and steam sterilize the barrels and wash away the tartaric acid solution (we store the barrels "wet" to keep the wood from drying out and leaking. They're filled with a tartaric acid and SO2 solution).

text: Among the more insidious of the never-spanked species are women without any firsthand experience over a man's lap either as a child or an adult. One way or another, these women tend to wreck every relationship with a man into which they enter. During a private counseling session, a petite woman in her 20s summed up the collective experience of many spanking virgins when she admitted her biggest problem with men stemmed from a lack of respect. This young woman went on to admit that having to take a proper spanking over a man's lap would be a good start in straightening her out! Beyond the never-spanked species, good parenting consists of support and expectation. Support gives the child unconditional encouragement and love even if the child tries and fails. Expectation anticipates that the child will do his or her best. Parents exhibiting both qualities are usually the best spankers.

Women, particularly those who are obese, are less likely than men to be placed on a deceased-donor kidney transplant waitlist, investigators reported during the virtual 2021 American Transplant Congress.
Once on a waitlist, however, the likelihood of receiving a transplant did not differ significantly by gender.
A team led by Jayme E. Locke, MD, MPH, director of the Comprehensive Transplant Institute at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, conducted a retrospective cohort study that included 217,320 waitlist-eligible patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD): 126,744 men and 90,576 women.
Relative to men, the likelihood of women being waitlisted diminished significantly with increasing body mass index (BMI) beginning at a BMI of 18.5 kg/m2. Women with a BMI of 18.5-34.9, 35.0-39.9, 40.0-.44.9, and 45 kg/m2 or more were 14%, 29%, 32%, and 45% less likely to be placed on a waitlist, respectively, compared with men in the corresponding BMI groups, Dr Locke and her colleagues reported. Once on the transplant waitlist, the likelihood of receiving a transplant did not differ significantly between men and women after adjusting for age and race.
In a joint statement to Renal & Urology News, Dr Locke and the study’s first author, Saulat S. Sheikh, MBBS, observed, “Implicit or unconscious bias may be one significant, unidentified barrier obese women with ESKD experience in the complex multi-step transplant evaluation process. Furthermore, they may have additional social or cultural differences compared to their obese male counterparts that prevent their progress from transplant evaluation to waitlisting. The resulting disparity in access to this lifesaving therapy option is a cause for great concern with need for urgent attention.”
Drs Locke and Sheikh noted that the gender disparity in access to transplantation has persisted for more than 2 decades, “and while this is recognized by the transplant community, no intervention has yet effectively addressed this concern.”
Their study, which examined 2 components of the complex process of acquiring a transplant, “identified equity in access to waitlisting as the step along the continuum of transplant care that requires the greatest attention.”

'Congress must enact meaningful immigration legislation,' says Nassif
The head of Western Growers has raised concerns over the potential consequences of President Obama's plans regarding immigration legislation on agriculture, urging Congress to take the opportunity to pass 'meaning' reform.
On Thursday night, Obama addressed tha nation announcing a series of executive actions including one to defer the deportation of more than four million undocumented immigrants.
Western Growers president and CEO Tom Nassif told www.freshfruitportal.com there were several factors to take into account when considering what impact the proposals would have on the U.S. agricultural industry.
"One, how many farmworkers would be included in the category that's been given deferred action for three years - we don't know what that number is. The White House is estimating numbers but nobody knows for sure," Nassif said.
"The second thing is what will that mean to the workers? Will they be willing to come out of the shadows and say 'okay, I'm here illegally and I want to be part of the deferred action for a couple of years, knowing that at the end of that time I may be deported because some other president may not sign the same kind of executive actions?'.
"We have to remember that when the president exercised his authority and created the deferred action for children, about half of them didn't even come forward and admit they were here illegally for fear that it was a temporary fix and they didn't want it known that they were here illegally."
Nassif also raised the point that if many immigrants working in agriculture were suddenly given the right to work in any job they wanted, they may well migrate to another industry.
Other sectors may be more attractive places to work for immigrants as they wouldn't have to constantly relocate from area to area following the crops, and more secure jobs could offer a range of additional benefits.
While many in the Republican party have questioned the legality of Obama's proposals, Nassif stressed that nothing would be achieved by constantly being at ends with one another.
"We ask the Republicans, 'rather than use this as a reason to be uncooperative in the future on issues important to this country including immigration, use it as a stimulus to reassert your congressional authority and pass this bill yourselves regardless of what the president has done'," Nassif said.
"Once an immigration bill is passed and signed into law, the executive word comes by the wayside.
"They need to go back to the drawing boards and start either with a blank sheet of paper or start with the kinds of immigration reform they have been talking about in the committee meetings, and get to the job of creating a new immigration bill that they think will get some bipartisan support and be signed by the president."
Nassif added it didn't do the industry any good to pass legislation that was later vetoed, nor to pass legislation that couldn't get out of the Senate because of the parliamentary procedure called a filibuster.
"So it has to be very thoughtful, and there are many members of the legislature who are very thoughtful and want to pursue a legislative fix that is reasonable for all parties and beneficial to this country," he said.

There are no specific warnings issues for Muskoka, however the district is under a provincial flood watch which will provide up-to-date information on the potential for flooding. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry says stream levels are moderately elevated, and the latest snow survey in central Ontario showed there is still the equivalent of 80 to 200mm of water. The MNRF says the forecasted rain today and tomorrow, combined with the melting snow, has the potential to cause localized flooding in south central Ontario, where the streams are already high.
The MNRF is recommending the community keeps a close watch on forecasts, conditions, river flows and ice-jam prone areas as well.

what a surprise...this is one of my favorite places in the South End. oysters as usual were excellent. The lobster BLT was not up to its usual standards. Lobster meat was very underseasoned and chewy. The normally excellent bread was doughy and tasted slightly stale. The fried clams were ok but also underseasoned.
I will go back and try again but has anyone else noticed a change?

Your pet’s oral health is pivotal in maintaining their overall well-being. It goes beyond keeping their teeth shiny – it’s about ensuring they lead happy and healthy lives.
Below, we delve into the importance of pet dental care and how you can manage your pet’s oral health.
Understanding Pet Oral Health
Understanding your pet’s oral health begins with the basics. The two most common oral health problems in pets are plaque and tartar. Both pets’ teeth and gums are susceptible to these issues.
1. Common Oral Health Issues in Pets
Plaque consists of bacteria that attach to teeth. The plaque thickens and hardens when combined with saliva and food particles, turning into tartar. Tartar causes irritation and inflammation of the gums, leading to gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. This can cause irreversible damage to a pet’s gum tissue and even lead to tooth loss.
2. Effects of Gum Disease
When considering pet oral health, consider that it impacts their general health significantly. Untreated, periodontal disease can potentially lead to conditions such as heart, liver, or kidney disease due to the spread of bacteria from the oral cavity to other parts of the body.
3. Veterinary Dentistry
This is where dog dentist services come in. Veterinary dentistry involves professional cleaning, adjustments, filing, extraction, or repair of pets’ teeth, which goes a long way in ensuring good overall oral health.
Importance of Regular Dental Care for Pets
Regular pet dental care and veterinary dental treatments are vital to keeping your loving companions healthy.
1. Signs of Oral Troubles in Pets
Watch out for warning signs like:

Dental cleaning for pets is a frequently recommended veterinary dental treatment.
Veterinary Dental Checkups and Teeth Cleanings
When it comes to your pet’s dental health, setting up regular checkups and cleanings with the veterinarian is a proactive approach to prevent dental diseases. Here’s what you can typically expect during these visits:
- Initial Assessment: The veterinary professional will complete a comprehensive visual assessment of your pet’s mouth. This includes checking for apparent signs of oral diseases or peculiarities and looking for discoloration, swollen gums, and discomfort in your pet.
- Detailed Oral Examination: Following the initial assessment, a more detailed examination takes place. This may include probing under the gum line, charting the teeth for periodontal disease, and examining the insides of the cheeks and the tongue. If necessary, this could also entail taking dental radiographs (x-rays).
- Teeth Cleaning: The following step is a thorough cleaning of the teeth, also known as scaling. This can help in eliminating tartar above and below the gum line.
- Teeth Polishing: After scaling, teeth are polished to smooth out the surface, which can deter plaque and bacteria buildup, reducing the chances of future dental issues.
- Anesthesia: In some cases, anesthesia is necessary for pet dental cleanings. While it may concern some pet owners, it is generally a safe procedure that allows for a thorough and stress-free cleaning process for your pet, especially the cleaning below the gumline where most bacteria hide.
- Post-Procedural Evaluation: Once the cleaning process concludes, your veterinary professional will often re-evaluate your pet’s oral health, identifying any changes caused by the cleaning process and discussing further treatments if needed.
- Home Care Guidance: A vital part of these checkups is providing home oral hygiene guidelines for pet owners to ensure effective preventive care after the cleaning.
Keeping up with these checkups and cleanings ensures early detection of potential issues, ultimately resulting in better oral health and overall wellness for your pet.
Pets and Anesthesia
Although anesthesia can be concerning for pet owners, under proper veterinary supervision, it’s generally safe. It ensures that the cleaning process covers below the gum line, where most bacteria hide.
Pet Wellness and Additional Treatments
If you want to ensure the best for your pet’s oral health, dog wellness plan options might be just what you need. This plan often includes regular checkups, a scheduled teeth cleaning program, and catered diet plans meeting your pet’s specific requirements.
Dental Sprays and Gels for Pets
Over and above brushing, dental sprays and gels can aid in enforcing oral hygiene routine for your pet. They contain enzymes that fight plaque and freshen your pet’s breath.
It’s clear how intertwined your pet’s oral health is with their overall health. Being familiar with their oral health conditions, staying vigilant for signs of trouble, and maintaining a regular veterinary dentist service schedule is crucial to keeping them free from pain and illness. We heartily encourage taking the necessary steps to ensure your pets’ dental care and overall wellness.

Hi. I’m in Zone 5 to 6, close to Lake Ontario, so always a little warmer in the winter. I have a nice patch of black mondo grass. Some years it winters really well and some years not so much. A bad winter results in brown leaves and stunted growth into the summer. By end of summer it looks ok however. Is there any way to protect it in the winter so it makes it through without a lot of leaf damage? I always thought a layer of snow would add protection but apparently it doesn’t.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for contacting Toronto Master Gardeners. Black mondo grass (Ophiopogon planiscapus), with its purplish-black spiky leaves, is a sophisticated addition to the landscape. Since Toronto is in the lowest zone where it can be grown, a harsh winter will cause die back. Protect the plant with leaves or a layer of compost mulch. In the spring, remove the protective layer and shear any die back before new growth appears. For more information on the care and propagation of mondo grass click here.

Microsoft recently started recruiting women to throw Xbox soirees as part of a branding effort to get women to start playing the Xbox, according to the Gannett news service.
They got an Xbox party pack of freebies that included microwaveable popcorn, Xbox trivia game "Scene It? Box Office Smash," an Xbox universal media remote control, a three-month subscription to Xbox Live, and 1,600 Xbox Live points (used for game, movie and TV show purchases).
I do think this is a great marketing strategy but as with all Microsoft marketing efforts it feels a bit off. Women have … Read more

The brain is easily addicted to TV and video games because they are designed to release dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter that is responsible for addiction. Studies have shown that the brain’s reward system is activated by rewarding stimuli, such as TV and video games. This system is what makes people want to do these activities again and again.
Children usually begin to read when he/she is around 3 years of age. However, the age at which kids start to watch TV and play video games differs greatly between every family.
Personally, I started watching TV when I was 7-8 years old, and started playing video games when I was in third grade. I can also assure you that I have spent a reasonable part of my life being engaged in any of these three activities – reading/studying, watching TV and playing video games.
However, here’s an interesting observation – I never enjoyed studying as much as I like watching TV or playing video games.
There’s something about playing video games that easily gets you hooked, something that’s not present with studying. Note: Throughout this article, when the word ‘study’ is used, it should be inferred that I am only referring to the kind of studying that’s purely academic in nature. This obviously doesn’t include ‘light reading’ or the kind of reading that you take up on your own.
I’m fairly certain that most people, especially youngsters, can relate to this ‘condition’ of enjoying TV and video games more than they enjoy dedicated academic learning.
However, have you ever thought why that is the case? Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could get addicted to studying as quickly and badly as we get hooked on a TV series or a new video game?
The answer to this question obviously lies with the brain!

Brain’s Reward System
The brain has a so-called reward system. Essentially, it makes you happy when you have/do certain things, and then makes you want it even more. If you don’t have/do more of that thing, then it throws a tantrum and makes you cranky and irritated, or even angry, at times. It can only be pacified once it has what it craves. That’s basically how the brain’s reward system works.
More specifically, the reward system is a group of neural structures that are responsible for associative learning (primarily classical conditioning and positive reinforcement), as well as positive emotions, especially those that have ‘pleasure’ at their core. In other words, the reward system is a number of components in the brain that are activated by ‘rewarding’ stimuli.
Role Of Dopamine In Addiction
When exposed to a rewarding stimulus, the brain responds by increasing its release of a neurotransmitter known as dopamine. Dopamine is the one neurotransmitter that’s the primary ‘culprit’ behind all kinds of addiction – be it addiction to video games, watching too much TV, drinking too much alcohol, doing drugs or even eating junk food.
The structures associated with the brain’s reward system are found along the major dopamine pathways in the brain. The following image will help you visualize this better:
Whenever you do something that makes you feel good (e.g., doing something fun, watching a movie, or even finishing a task), the reward system is flooded with dopamine. This is what makes you really ‘enjoy’ things and want to do them again (so you get more of that enjoyment).
If the brain is flooded with such chemicals in a very short span of time, it takes time for the brain to ‘adjust’ itself and return to its normal state.
Why Is Playing Video Games So Much Fun?
Watching TV, playing video games, gambling… these are certain activities that are specifically designed to force your body to release these chemicals. When the effects of these chemicals begin wearing off, we tend to feel ‘bad’ and try to seek the same stimulus again to feel good all over again.
Over a brief period of time, this cycle of instant gratification often leads to dependency, wherein the individual has trouble staying ‘normal’ without that stimulus. This is what slowly turns into an addiction of the same stimulus.
Activities like studying or learning something academic are typically not instantly gratifying, nor do they provide any sort of excitement or ‘high’, which is the absolute opposite of playing video games.
In fact, video games are often designed to keep giving you ‘hits’ of those chemicals. These hits are aptly called ‘dopamine hits’, and there is a lot of research constantly going on in the gaming industry to figure out ways to maximize those hits. Watching TV is quite similar; it’s also an experience that gives an instant reward (unlike studying).
That’s why it’s so much easier to get hooked on TV and video games than studying.

text: Hey all, I'm in the market for a combo bass amp. I was wondering how many watts is sufficient or worthwhile to play gigs with my band. Even more helpful would be some recommendations for models. I'm a guitar player, but i bought a Yahmaha bass a few years back that i would mess around on. I've been playing on a 25W Crate amp. Now that i'm playing bass in a band I need a bigger amp that can handle doing gigs. I'm thinking anywhere between 100-300W, keeping prices under 400. Any input or comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
