Calif. Lawmakers Consider Prisoner Condom Legislation
California lawmakers are considering a bill (AB 999) that would require state officials to make condoms available in each of the state's 33 adult prisoners by 2020 to limit the spread of HIV and other diseases. Assembly member Rob Bonta (D-Oakland) said inmates should be able to practice safe sex to help curb an infection rate that is higher than in the general population. However, state law prohibits sex between inmates.

Widening the vistas of your very existence is what this month makes you do. You still extend warmth and friendship, as well as cooperation at work. All the trends – which started last month will now gain momentum, focus and direction. You reach out to people in a rare show of warmth, connubial bliss and friendship. This is a rather happy, goal-oriented month. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.
Personal and social contacts may be mysterious, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some seclusion or romantic frustration. Attention to subconscious romantic and sexual dreams and desires comes to the forefront. Perhaps it allows you to play out certain fantasies that you are unable to play out consciously; when your whole being is completely aware of the consequences. Try to sustain a balance between inner and outer world.
Group activities and joint efforts are the best way to accomplish your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. You would want to organize projects and put things in shape. Your humanitarian inclination may be stirred. The part you play for other people in your life comes to the forefront now. You may experience that your tasks list gets swarming with things to do (usually for others). You may take actions to achieve your more personal long-term goals as well.

She replaces Rupert Howell who quit as managing director of brand and commercial last week after two-and-a-half years at the Britain's Got Talent broadcaster.
Hazlitt will have responsibility for building ITV's digital presence on the internet and mobile — areas in which Crozier feels ITV must perform much better. ITV online chief Ben McOwen-Wilson will go in the shake-up.

I will spend today (November 10) at the annual Thanksgiving service project for New Hope Christian College. Students, faculty, administration, staff and families will take over a building downtown to feed, clothe, visit and love the homeless members of our community.
I’ve been attracted to the homeless community ever since my father took me to the Medford Gospel Mission when I was sixteen years old. (This is a shameless appeal to involve your children in activities of justice and compassion.)
What I remember about that first experience of serving the homeless is still true today. I couldn’t help but recognize that the visitors to the mission looked very much different from me. My clothes were relatively new, recently laundered and ironed. Theirs were not. For about seven minutes, the differences in external appearance were a problem to me.
Then I sat down to talk to the men. As soon as I did, I recognized that these were men with experiences and values the same as mine. They had families they cared about. They had schedules they strived to keep. They had opinions about politics and the local economy.
More and more, I view my time with homeless citizens not as helper to needy, but as members of a community fellowshipping. As I allow my life to be impacted by the people around me, I find that my life is always enriched.

A police watchdog today urged firearms officers to “fully co-operate” with an investigation into the shooting of Mark Duggan.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission said it was pursuing “a number of significant lines of enquiry” which emerged at the inquest.
IPCC deputy chairwoman Rachel Cerfontyne said officials were seeking to interview “some key witnesses who have so far declined to speak to or be interviewed by us or whose accounts are inconsistent with other evidence”. She added: “We expect police officers to cooperate fully with us if required, including answering questions at interview, something they have so far refused to do.”
An inquest jury last week found that Duggan, 29, had been lawfully killed when he was shot by a police marksman in Tottenham in 2011.

Oh, that same old love. Oh, that same old love.
I’m so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart.
“Purity?” They ask. And they smile. They are the ones who go onto marriage with worn-out bodies and disillusioned souls.” – Saint Josemaria Escriva
Love isn’t meant to tear you up, or break your soul, heart and body. That’s not what love was created for. In fact, God is the author of love and the creator of your soul in His image, so love is supposed to point back to him. What? God? Love? Yes – He does have a lot to do with relationships and interactions with other human beings…despite the culture that constantly tells us to keep God out of our relationships and out of our bedrooms.
“God who created man out of love also calls him to love the fundamental and innate vocation of every human being. For man is created in the image and likeness of God who is himself love. Since God created him man and woman, their mutual love becomes an image of the absolute and unfailing love with which God loves man. It is good, very good, in the Creator’s eyes.”
– Catechism of the Catholic Church 1604
We are all called to a vocation of love – despite what “Big V Vocation” we are called to. That is the one concept that I find the most beautiful in everything surrounding vocational discernment. No matter what vocation you are called to, you are called to love. Saint Therese of Lisieux once exclaimed, “My vocation is love!” And typical Saint Therese, she’s right. If you’re called to marriage, you get to reflect the love of Christ between you and your spouse. If you’re called to the vocation of religious life, you reflect the love of Christ between you and Him directly. If you’re called to a life of consecrated singleness, you get to reflect love between Christ and others. We’re all called to love..but not the heart-breaking love that Selena pours her heart over.
So if you identify with Selena and are sick of that same old love, try Christ’s new love on for a change. You won’t be disappointed.

Air BnB One bedroom apartment in Streatham
This property is let as serviced accomodation. It was constructed in 2004 and had been fitted with a combination of NOBO panel heaters and storage heaters. The customer wanted a more robust heating system after a number of the users had complained that the panel heaters weren’t effective. We supplied and fitted 4 Vanguard electric radiators and changed the fused spurs. We then changed the E7 off peak supply to a normal supply so the heaters could be used when needed.
The fast working, easy to use Vanguard heaters work well in this property.

When presented with a painful movement pattern, the DTM student first considers the neurology servicing that area. Those considerations include the spinal nerve roots, the downstream peripheral nerves, and the superficial neurology. We then apply an empirical “clinical audit process” (CAP) to explore the potential involement at each level of neurology.
A patient presents with pain in the plantar foot that has become chronic and has responded poorly to local interventions targeting the plantar fascia itself. Our investigation might first consider the health of the spinal nerve roots servicing that area. Using a McKenzie-oriented assessment (review the books of Robin McKenzie or the courses from MDT for detailed information), repetitive endrange extension might be applied, followed by a re-assessment of the painful movement to see if the movement is less painful. The peripheral neurology servicing the plantar foot might be screened using neural tension testing (see the work of David Butler and Michael Shacklock for excellent books, DVDs and courses) to attempt to reproduce the familiar pain. Neurodynamics may follow, if indicated, to address the mechanical interface of the peripheral nerves. Locally, the superficial nerves and their course through the painful area are addressed with a goal of “creating space” and improving bloodflow to the involved neurology. With a similar neurodynamics mindset, we lift the tissues around the involved neurology while the painful movement is performed to see if the symptoms improve. If these assessments greatly reduce or resolve the painful movement, then teach the patient to “create space” for the involved neurology and then move in ways to improve the mechanical interface of the neurology.

Which prospects are moving up the draft board of the Minnesota Vikings after the 2021 Senior Bowl?
The 2021 Senior Bowl wrapped up with the official game on Saturday and there are a handful of prospects from the contest that the Minnesota Vikings should have interest in.
These prospects stepped up when the spotlight was on them and their play should have grabbed the attention of scouts and teams from the NFL that watched the game.
While the practices are the most important elements of the Senior Bowl each year, the game is a great measuring stick for how these players perform in real-time situations. It also gives a good indication of how quickly they picked up the playbook and took to the coaching.
The Vikings are a team that always drafts a couple of players from this game and this year will be probably no exception. Who are some of the prospects from the 2021 Senior Bowl that should be rising up Minnesota’s draft board after their performance during the week and in the game itself?

Aruba Masted Sailing Ship Excursion Reviews
My boyfriend was so excited about going on an antique mahogany ship and using the rope swing to swing off into the ocean. As we walked to the port where we were to board the ship we see a metal motor boat which would have been really hot to sit on in 90 degree heat. We asked where the ship was and the tour guide said it had been decommissioned. The previous excursion we had gone on was on a catamaran so we did not want to spend the money on something we weren't interested in. It was touch and go for awhile, but RC did reimburse us for the bait and switch.
Great excursion. Loved sailing on the pirate ship. Snorkelling over the Antilla was ok. The current was strong and they only recommended strong swimmers to participate. Also very Big fish down there. The reef site was much better for me. My husband loved the rope swing, and of course the rum punch. Great day in Aruba.

The Hierarchy of Evil
We need to talk about evil and what it's doing in the novel I Am Not Gog. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Although opinion varies on this, I see Ephesians 6:12 as a short list of three types of evil forces in descending order of authority, the last clause being a summation of them all. In context, coming after the exclusion of ‘flesh and blood’, Paul appears to be talking about purely spiritual forces. But, whether you believe in spiritual forces or not, we all know that what everyone calls ‘evil’ becomes manifested, ultimately, by flesh and blood. It is, therefore, fair game for us to use this hierarchy as a template to hold up against our world today and see how it fits real entities by which evil might be made manifest in actuality. This is what I did in I Am Not Gog and the target of its whole allegorical scheme, which is our Unnamed Modern-Day International Phenomenon (UMDIP – it should never be publicly named, by the way). It fitted pretty well, I found, but it needed fleshing out a little bit more by adding eriphions at the bottom of the hierarchy as ‘those who serve darkness’. These are the three of Maggie’s fellow squatters: Milner, Walsingham, and Huram-Abi. Eriphion means 'goat', and I take the word from Matthew 25:32-33, where Christ describes how, on his return, he will separate the ‘sheep from the goats’. Maggie herself is one step up from them in authority, Alex and Philip are above Maggie in authority, and right at the top of the hierarchy we have the always unseen character of RK. In relation to UMDIP, that unseen element is important. RK’s name is a homophonetic representation of the word 'archḗ' (principalities). Alex and Philip are identified by the names of their businesses, Exousia (powers) and Power’s respectively. Maggie identifies herself as Kosmokrator (world-rulers) in the tea-party ritual, and the Eriphions (goats) identify themselves in their incantation.
This was the last in a series of five blogs looking at the overall allegorical scheme and the four strands of allegory running between Lydia’s story (source) and UMDIP (target). A general overview of the allegorical scheme is here. The second in the series is here, the third here, and the fourth is here. Thanks to the excellent resource StudyLight.org, from which I took all the Koine Greek in both the novel and this blog.

This is a very fun day trip close to Phoenix that explores the historical mining areas north of Lake Pleasant in the foothills of the Bradshaw Mountains. In the late 1880’s many adventurous souls braved the brutal conditions and fierce Apache indians to find their fortune in this remote and rocky landscape. This trail takes you to the China Dam that was built in the late 1880’s for hydraulic mining operations on Humbug Creek and then continues on to an old mining homestead deep in the mountains on Tule Creek. The trail is an offshoot of the main back way to Crown King trail and there are many other side trails that can be explored north of Lake Pleasant but bring a map and GPS since it is very easy to get lost and road conditions can change frequently due to weather.
Bookings are closed for this event.

PERU: Well-Preserved Dog Remains Unearthed in ancient Peruvian temple
In an ancient pre-Hispanic Peruvian site, the “unprecedented” well-preserved bones of a 1000-year-old dog are found.
In the main building, described as a temple in the reports, researchers from the Sechin Archeological Project found dog remains from the Casma Valley in northern Peru.
The Casma-Sechin culture is a concentration of pre-Hispanic ruins in the valleys of the Casma River.
Researchers said the dog (Canis lupus familiaris), whose breed and age are yet to be determined, is from the late occupation of the Sechin culture around 1,000 A.D.
The temple complex is believed to be much older, however, with scientists finding a staircase reportedly dating back some 4,000 years.
Project director Monica Suarez told reporters the dog is so well preserved its fur can be determined as “yellow and brown” and even the pads on its paws have been preserved.
She added that the dog “could be a native breed from the pre-Hispanic era” that had settled in the temple, adding: “It is believed it belongs to the era of the reoccupation of Sechin, specifically to the Casma culture, around 1,000 AD.”
Local media report the find has been described by the researchers as “unprecedented”.
The remains will be sent to the Peruvian Ministry of Country after being analyzed by the researchers.
The project is in the middle of its first phase and the researchers will take a break in November before starting again before the end of the year.
Why were hundreds of children sacrificed in ancient Peru?
Archeologists who found them must have been shocked, perplexed and saddened before they first found the children’s bodies. Why would someone ever kill hundreds of kids ritually? What kind of monster is capable of such incredible evil.
In Peru archeologists who have lately digged something out of a horror novel have stumbled upon, according to Al Jazeera:
“Archaeologists in Peru have discovered a grave containing the bodies of 227 children who were almost certainly killed as part of a child sacrifice ritual.
“The sacrificial site was found near Huanchaco, a beachside tourist town north of Lima.
“‘This is the biggest site where the remains of sacrificed children have been found.
The bodies of the children are believed to have been a part of the ancient Chimú culture are the date from a period between 1400 and 1450.
“From about 900 until 1470 AD, at which time they were conquered by the Inca empire. A scientific paper published in March in PLOS One details the results of recent excavations at the Huanchaquito-Las Llamas archaeological site, where ‘evidence of a previously unknown ritual involving a massive sacrifice of 140 children and 200 young camelids (llamas) by the Chimú State, c. AD 1450.’
The site, according to the Los Angeles Times, is one of the largest known cases of child sacrifice in the history of the Americas, and those who uncovered the bodies were said to be “shocked” unable to believe they had found so many tiny children who had been slaughtered in such a ritualistic fashion.
The Chimú people were highly advanced and valued agriculture because it helped feed their nation. They even build a network of hydraulic canals so they could bring water from the mountainous region down to irrigate their crops.
Yet none of these facts explain why the Chimú would have suddenly felt a need to sacrifice so many children. There are no written records of their specific religious beliefs, but we do know that the bodies were buried “in a thick layer of mud that lay on top of the sand” and this would seem to suggest they were placed there after heavy rains caused massive mudslides in the area.
Could the weather have been the reason for the sacrifices?
“The northern coast of Peru is very dry in general, but El Niño climate conditions can bring unexpected heavy rains and flooding.”
Haagen Klaus, an anthropologist at George Mason University, believes the floods were what caused the sudden need for human sacrifices, adding that “he had little doubt that the sacrifice was a response to the rains.”
It was believed that the ancestors controlled water supplies and offerings were made to appease the ancestors, ‘to bring the world back into balance.’”
Imagine what must have transpired: The rains and flooding came, destroying the crops and economy of the Chimú.
They felt a need to appease the gods, so they arranged for the ritual sacrifice of children and llamas, the most valuable things in their society.
Though it seems barbaric and unforgivable to us thousands of years later, the Chimú were merely doing what they hoped would revive their nation and return balance to nature and life.
But the evidence they left seems to suggest that all they accomplished was leaving a charnel house of horrors to document their own lack of understanding.
Archaeologists Say New Airport Near Machu Picchu “Would Destroy It”
The Incan citadel of Machu Picchu in Peru is one of the world’s most stunning pieces of engineering, and a hypnotizing, historical remnant of a mystical past.
Nestled in the Andes at around 8,000 feet, the government is now planning to boost the lucrative tourism it draws annually even more — by building a multibillion-dollar international airport nearby, which critics are adamant “would destroy it.”
The Unesco World Heritage Site is traditionally reached by taking a flight to the Cusco airport 46 miles away, which only has one runway. From there, visitors usually continue by train or by hiking through the Sacred Valley.
With more than 1.5 million visitors to the sacred site in 2017 — nearly twice what Unesco recommends to protect it — transportation to the ancient ruins is getting more crowded every year. Construction on the profitable corporate venture is already underway. Bulldozers are clearing millions of tons of earth in Chinchero, which is 12,500 feet above sea level and the gateway for the Sacred Valley.
Archaeologists, historians, locals, and activists are in utter disbelief, however, as the airport would bring push the region even further beyond its visitor capacity and put a huge strain on the regional ecology.
“This is a built landscape; there are terraces and routes which were designed by the Incas,” Natalia Majluf, a Peruvian art historian at Cambridge University, told The Guardian. “Putting an airport here would destroy it.”
South Korean and Canadian companies are preparing to bid on the construction project, which would provide direct flight access from major American and South American cities. The tiny town of Chinchero is reportedly hurrying to build new houses and hotels in anticipation of the incoming flood of tourists.
But for critics — who seem to have nothing but the sanctity and protection of this 15th-century site in mind — there are far more important matters at hand. This area was once home to the world’s largest empire, and jeopardizing its integrity for profit is simply unacceptable to countless academics.
“It seems ironic and in a way contradictory that here, just 20 minutes from the Sacred Valley, the nucleus of the Inca culture, they want to build an airport — right on top of exactly what the tourists have come here to see,” said Pablo Del Valle, a Cusco-based anthropologist. Should the airport be completed and function as intended, planes would make low flyovers over Ollantaytambo — a 134 square-mile archaeological park — and likely cause priceless damage to the Incan ruins.
Other critics are more focused on the Lake Piuray watershed being depleted during the airport’s construction, costing the city of Cusco half its water supply. The petition, which Majluf took upon herself to start, asks Peruvian President Martín Vizcarra to re-assess this project — or choose a different spot.
“I don’t think there’s any significant archaeologist or historian working in the Cusco area that hasn’t signed the petition,” said Majluf. Chinchero was built as a royal estate for Incan ruler Túpac Inca Yupanqui, about 600 years ago. The area is extremely well-preserved and offers an unquantifiable wealth of direct contact with a time long gone. Many of the structures in Machu Picchu befuddle archaeologists to this day.
The economy here is largely dependent on tourism and farming. As such, it’d be surprising if those desperate for more customers would oppose a big modern airport next door — but they do. Alejandrina Contreras a blanket-weaver who lives in Chincero, said, “We live peacefully here, there are no thieves, there are no criminals. There will be progress with the airport but a lot of things will change.”
“Think of the noise, the air pollution, the illnesses it will bring,” said 20-year-old Karen Auccapuma.
This project has actually already been delayed, as the private company who had the winning bid became entangled in price-hike and corruption allegations. Unfortunately, arbitration on the current business model has been settled — and the government is eager to complete construction by 2023.
“This airport will be built as soon as possible because it’s very necessary for the city of Cusco,” Carlos Oliva, Peru’s finance minister, suggested. “There’s a series of technical studies which support this airport’s construction.”
Naturally, there is local appeal for the project. Citizens have been regaled with the promise of 2,500 construction jobs, while the local land has increased in value so much that some have begun selling their properties for a pretty penny. Peasant families have changed their lives by selling farmland. Cusco Mayor Luis Cusicuna claimed local leaders have been desperate for a second, larger airport for decades.
The Incan site is “so singularly dominant for the Peruvian tourism offering,” said Mark Rice, author of Making Machu Picchu: The Politics of Tourism in Twentieth-Century Peru. “The best way I can describe it is if people going to Britain only went to Stonehenge.”
Rice explained that there’s “legitimate concern that Cusco’s travel infrastructure is at its limit,” however. So while the proposal has a rational backbone — in terms of business, at least — it most definitely will cause a “lot of damage to one of the key tourism offerings of Cusco, which is its scenic beauty.”
Unesco recently threatened the Peruvian government that it was prepared to remove Machu Picchu from its list, and place it on the list of world heritage sites in danger, instead. In response, Peru narrowed entry requirements, such as limiting visits to certain times of the day.
At this very moment, however, the nascent airport project is causing new houses, hotels, and buildings to be constructed in the area. Everyone is preparing to make this a lucrative endeavor while throwing caution to the Incan wind.
World’s Biggest Mass Child Sacrifice Discovered In Peru, with 140 Killed in ‘Heart Removal’ Ritual
The largest child sacrifice on record took place after a torrential rainfall, when about 140 children and 200 young llamas likely had their hearts ripped out by the ancient Chimú culture in A.D. 1450, in what is now Peru.
The reason for the sacrifice, however, remains a mystery, according to a new study. Even so, the scientists of the study have several ideas. For instance, heavy rainfall and flooding from that year’s El Niño weather pattern may have prompted Chimú leaders to order the sacrifice, but without more evidence, we’ll likely never know the real reason, said study co-researcher John Verano, a professor in the Department of Anthropology at Tulane University in New Orleans.
Study lead researcher Gabriel Prieto, an assistant professor in archaeology at the National University of Trujillo, Peru, learned about the sacrificial site in 2011 after a father approached him while he was doing fieldwork on another project.
The father described a nearby dune with bones poking out of it. The father said, “Look, my kids are bringing bones back every day, and I’m tired of it,” said Verano, who later joined the project in 2014. Once at the dune, Prieto immediately realized that the site had archaeological significance, and he and his colleagues have been working on it since, excavating and studying the human and llama (Lama glama) remains at the site, known as Huanchaquito-Las Llamas.
“It’s the largest child sacrifice event in the archaeological record anywhere in the world,” Verano said. “And it’s the largest sacrifice with llamas in South America. There’s nothing like this anywhere else.
“Who were the victims?
The site holds the remains of at least 137 boys and girls and 200 llamas. Many of the children and the llamas had cut marks on their sterna, or breastbones, as well as displaced ribs, suggesting that their chests had been cut open, perhaps to extract the heart, the researchers wrote in the study.
The children ranged in age from 5 to 14 and were generally in good health, according to an analysis of their bones and teeth. These youngsters were wrapped in cotton shrouds and buried either on their backs with extended legs, on their backs with flexed legs or and resting on one side with flexed legs.
Many were buried in groups of three and placed from youngest to oldest. Some had red cinnabar paint (a natural form of mercury) on their faces, and others, especially the older children, wore cotton headdresses.
The llamas were either laid next to or on top of the children’s bodies. In many cases, llamas of different colors (brown and beige) were buried together, but facing different directions. Also buried at the site, near the children’s remains, were the bodies of two women and a man.
An archaeologist excavates one of the sacrificed children. An archaeologist excavates one of the sacrificed children. These adults do not have cut marks on their sterna, suggesting their hearts weren’t removed. Rather, one woman likely died from a blow to the back of the head and another suffered from blunt force trauma to her face. The man had rib fractures, but it wasn’t clear whether these injuries happened before or after death, possibly due to the weight of the rocks that were placed over his body, the researchers said.
The children weren’t buried with any discernible offerings, but the researchers did find a pair of ceramic jars and wooden paddles on the edge of the site, next to a single llama.
The Chimú culture dominated a large part of the Peruvian coast from the 11th to 15th century. It thrived, in part, because of its intensive agriculture; the Chimú watered their crops and livestock with a sophisticated web of hydraulic canals, the researchers wrote in the study.
This area is typically dry, drizzling only a few times a year. But it’s possible an extreme El Niño event, when warm water evaporates from the southern Pacific and falls as torrential rain on Peru’s coast, caused havoc in the society, not only flooding the Chimú’s lands but also driving away or killing marine life off the coast, Verano said.
Evidence shows that when the children and llamas were sacrificed, the area was sodden with water, even capturing human and animal footprints in the muck that still exist today. It’s unclear why this particular site, located almost 1,150 feet (350 meters) from the coast about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) north of the city of Chan Chan, was chosen for the sacrifice, but researchers have some idea for why the children were chosen.
Children are often seen as innocent beings who aren’t yet full members of society, and thus might be viewed as appropriate gifts or messengers to the gods, Verano said. Moreover, these children were not all locals. Some of the children had experienced head shaping, and an analysis of carbon and nitrogen isotopes (an isotope is a variation of an element) in their remains showed that these kids came from different regions and ethnic groups within the Chimú state, the researchers found.
It’s unclear why their hearts were removed, but “worldwide, everyone is aware that the heart is a very dynamic organ,” Verano said. “You can feel and hear it beating. It’s very vital. If you take the heart out, a lot of blood comes out and the person dies.”Today, some people in the Peruvian highlands and Bolivia still remove the hearts from sacrificed llamas, Verano noted.
Sometimes the removed heart is burned and the animal’s blood gets splashed on places like mines, a measure thought to protect the workers within. However, it’s unknown how the Chimú viewed and treated hearts in antiquity, Verano said. The children’s remains are now safely stored by Peru’s Ministry of Culture, and the researchers have submitted permits so they can continue to study them, Verano said.
The discovery shows “the importance of preserving cultural patrimony and archaeological material,” Verano said. “If we had had not dug this, it would probably be destroyed now by a housing and urban expansion. So we’ve saved a little chapter of prehistory.”The study is “an incredible insight into the ritual and sacrificial practices of the Chimú kingdom,” said Ryan Williams, a curator, professor and head of anthropology at The Field Museum in Chicago, who has worked as a South American archaeologist for more than 25 years.
He added that while human sacrifice is reviled in our modern society, “we have to remember that the Chimú had a very different world view than Westerners today. They also had very different concepts about death and the role each person plays in the cosmos,” Williams, who was not involved with the study. Given that the sacrifice may have been in response to devastating floods, “perhaps the victims went willingly as messengers to their gods, or perhaps Chimú society believed this was the only way to save more people from destruction,” Williams said.

We've gathered some top tips that will help you master working from home. In this blog we suggest ways to improve productivity, motivation and mental health...
According to a new survey by Nuffield Health, 80% of Brits feel that working from home has negatively impacted their mental health. Over a third (36%) said that not being in the same physical location as their colleagues has left them feeling unable to take set breaks as they feel a need to always be available or at their workstation.
In June 2020 the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that 7.4 million of us have reported feelings of loneliness negatively impacting their wellbeing since lockdown began. 30% of people working from home also highlighted the issue of work/life balance, stating difficulties in separating their work and home lives. 27% reported difficulty in switching off at the end of the day and 34% believe working from home has put a strain on their immediate relationships.
Create a routine
The easiest change to make in order to feel motivated is to get into a routine. Throughout the work week, try to get up at the same time everyday and go to bed at the same time every day. This has a positive impact on getting a good night's sleep and how you'll feel in the morning.
If you're working from home and you have no scheduled video calls, then it can be tempting to stay in your pyjamas. However, if you get up, take a shower and get dressed, you'll feel a lot more motivated and less groggy.
Simple but effective. If you used to walk to work in the mornings, replicate it with a walk around the block. Or set 15mins of your lunch hour aside for a relaxing stroll. Taking in gentle exercise and fresh air means that the oxygen levels in your blood go up, circulating to your brain, helping you feel energised and it also lowers blood pressure.
Use music effectively to motivate you. If you had music playing in the office and it impacted your energy levels, then replicate it at home. If you are effected by things like tempo and volume, match your music to your task for maximum effect! If you live with others, you can always use headphones so they won't be disturbed and you can shut out unwanted noise.
10 minute rule
We often feel demotivated when we have to a task we don't want to. It's that thing you've simultaneously been putting off but also can stop thinking about having to do. If you're facing this scenario, implement the 10 minute rule. Tell yourself that you only have to work on the dreaded task for 10 minutes. Then, after the 10 minutes you can take a break and come back to it later or just continue on if you're in the flow.
In order to be productive you need a good workspace. Create a dedicated work area, if possible away from the area where you sleep, as having the two collide can cause negative associations. Set up somewhere bright and airy and make sure the set up is comfortable with a suitable chair and desk height. Make your workspace inspiring, with artwork or items that make you happy or promote feelings of drive and success.
You can't be productive with chaos around you. Many people are facing childcare issues at home and have partners or friends who are also working from home. To limit distractions and interruptions, you need to communicate with the people you live with about how you work. Discuss your schedule, each morning or once a week, so others understand your expectations or needs and also discuss how you can manage shared tasks.
Everyone works differently so create a schedule that works for you. If you know you are more productive in the morning, then schedule your harder/more demanding tasks then. Where possible, work in small blocks of time and take regular, set breaks so you don't feel overwhelmed.
Facetime and accountability
Remember you're not in this alone. Make sure you keep in touch with colleagues and your manager regularly. This allows you to feel more supported and part of a team, whilst also ensuring that you're focusing on business priorities. Where possible use video chat! Also agree any strategies for your workload with your line manager, including regular check ins and deadlines, so you can remain focused and accountable.
Where possible, include time in your work day (not on top of it) for professional development and training. Learning new skills or conversing with peers in your industry can inspire new ideas and boost productivity. Discuss online courses and webinars you feel are relevant with your manager and once completed, share your findings or new skills with your team.
3. Mental Health
Be kind to yourself
2020 was a difficult year and even if you think you haven't faced as much upheaval as others around you, it's ok to not be ok. It's ok to acknowledge that you're struggling and that you may need help or support. There are resources and contact information available at the end of this blog.
Look for ways to be kind to yourself and promote positive feelings. Exercise, hydration, meditation, and even creating a gratitude list are simple but effective ways of promoting well-being and positivity. Recognise when you need some downtime and book some time off work to relax and regroup.
If you feel that you need more help, please speak with your manager (or a colleague you feel comfortable with) about how your employer can support you, or what professional help is available.
What's within your control?
The past year has had an impact of mental well-being in part because it's been just so unpredictable! With many things feeling beyond your control, it's common to have feelings of anxiety. Focus on what you CAN control instead. Think about positive changes you can make to how you work, to your living space or activities you can enjoy with immediate loved ones.
Learning to say no
If you feel tied to your computer or you're struggling with your workload, discuss it with your manager and sketch out new structures, support techniques and coping mechanisms. Just because you now work from home, doesn't mean your home is now a 24/7 office. Don't be afraid to say no, finish work on time or push back on projects that you feel would be overwhelming. Learning how to, and when to, say no is not a bad thing. Setting healthy boundaries is a good step towards overall well-being and self care.
Whether it's work colleagues, friends or family, try your best to maintain your connections as they can be a huge support. It's important not to become isolated, so even if you don't feel like having an in-depth conversation, it's good to regularly check in with the people in your life who can enhance your mood. They may also need your support!
Helping others is a great way to feel better in yourself. If you have some spare time, look for ways you can volunteer. This could be helping deliver items, providing friendly support for people who are alone or even offer your skills and experience to those who are struggling with something you're an authority on. Mentoring is also a great way to pass on experience and build confidence in others. You could also make, or do, something thoughtful for friends, family, first responders or essential workers.
If you are a manager or responsible for other colleagues, remember to check in and just ask people how they are and if/how you can help. There are lots of resources online and Mind offer a 'Wellness Plan' to help promote positive mental health and wellbeing. It includes advice and activities to identify areas where you may be struggling and actions you can take to combat issues.
Promote access to help
Resources should be readily available so that people can independently seek help as well.
Create a dedicated area within your employee platform with resources such as links to support services, remote therapy options, tips and articles etc.
Here's a few links you may find useful:

There are positive signs about improving consumer satisfaction with how they find, compare and then use law firms, major research by the Legal Services Consumer Panel (LSCP) has revealed.
However, with reduced access to legal aid and a “continued decline in free services”, the panel said that more vulnerable consumers “are potentially being left behind as those more empowered are able to take advantage of market changes”.
Such empowered consumers are more likely to shop around – which is becoming easier, with more choice – and demand fixed fees.
The LSCP’s annual tracker survey, carried out by YouGov, involved almost 1,800 adults and a smaller sample of just over 1,000 who had used legal services in the last two years.
Despite the panel’s longstanding concerns about the lack of comparison websites for legal services, 70% of consumers said they were satisfied with their choice of firm, and only around 12% said they found it difficult to compare – down from almost 30% in 2011. Consumers who felt they had a choice of lawyer tended to be more satisfied with the service they received.
“Satisfaction with most elements of service, from clarity of explanations to professionalism, was up on previous years,” the report said. As has been the case every year, while all the other markers scored satisfaction ratings of between 70% and 80%, ‘value for money’ was the service element which fared the worst, falling to 61% in 2015.
“Similarly, the number of consumers relying on the same lawyer is creeping down, while those shopping around creeps up – slow but welcome progress. This still means, however, that nearly 80% of consumers are relying on the same lawyer, and 75% are not shopping around at all.”
The proportion of clients paying privately was up to 64% in 2015, its highest in the five years of the survey – for reasons the panel said were not clear – while the proportion with legal aid funding was lower than ever. Use of fixed fees was very slightly down on last year, to 46% of transactions, but the use of hourly rates also declined to just 8%.
There was no change in the most important reason for choosing a law firm. Three-quarters of consumers cited reputation, with price failing to come second and having to share the honours with specialist skills.
Speed of delivery came fourth, followed by convenience/the presence of a local office, personal recommendation and whether or not the firm had a quality mark.
Local firms continued to dominate the provision of services in most areas of consumer law – “which is unsurprising given that face-to-face delivery remains the most common method,” the report said – but in personal injury, national brands and what the survey described as ‘large corporate firms’ were now the market leaders.
The survey found that lawyers are more generally trusted by the public than accountants and come second only to supermarkets in trust that consumer rights will be protected. People remain cautious in complaining about lawyers, however, with accountants doing slightly better, though less than half said they would be confident in complaining about either profession.
Elisabeth Davies, chair of the Legal Services Consumer Panel, said: “The good news is that some consumers are taking advantage of new methods of service delivery – whether that’s unbundling some of the work or shopping around more.
“The problem is that these developments aren’t working for all consumers. Some consumers are still being left behind, and the gap between the empowered and disempowered is only getting bigger.
“There is no one size fits all approach to addressing this problem. What is clear is that those consumers who are better informed tend to have more trust in using a lawyer, and tend to see increased choice, ultimately leading to increased satisfaction. More information is needed to aid that choice.”


Immigration reform that plans to legalize some 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US passed its first test as the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 13-5 to approve a bipartisan bill to overhaul the system.
The draft prepared by the "Gang of Eight" Republican and Democratic senators will next go to the full Senate for debate.
President Barack Obama congratulated the Judiciary Committee and hailed the "leadership" of its chairman, Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy.
The Tuesday vote was possible in part because Leahy at the last minute withdrew an amendment that would have allowed US citizens to sponsor their same-sex partners for green cards, "as a result of my conclusion that Republicans will kill this vital legislation if this anti-discrimination amendment is added", he said.
The committee improved the bill in many ways, including strengthening the provisions for border security, according to Republican Sen. John McCain, a member of the Gang of Eight who acknowledged being "guardedly optimistic" about the success of the reform.
Since the debate began, the committee was able to keep virtually intact the principal elements of the reform bill, which calls for an additional $3 billion for border security and penalizes companies that knowingly hire undocumented workers.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met earlier Tuesday in the Oval Office with seven immigrants, including several undocumented youths, who asked them to keep up the pressure so the reform bill passes.
Another bipartisan Gang of Eight in the House of Representatives announced last week an agreement in principle of the reform and plans to introduce it officially for debate the first week in June.

There is something to be said about fried cheese. Whether they are croquettes, mozzarella sticks, or fried raviolis, it seems that most everyone can’t resist gooey cheesy bites. As a cheeseaholic, I am particularly drawn to all forms of fried cheese (and non fried cheese, I have never met a cheese I didn’t like), so when perusing my most recent cookbook addition Plenty and saw the recipe for eggplant croquettes with feta, I knew I had to make them (especially since they also involved eggplant!). This is a healthy version of a croquette (or as healthy as fried cheese and vegetables can be) yet it still brings to mind bar food. The chunks of smoky eggplant and creamy feta give a bit of texture to each bite and the parmesan gives the perfect amount of salty cheesiness. The best part though is the garlic aioli. It makes an unbelievable dipping sauce for the croquettes with the acidity of the aioli complementing the eggplant and feta perfectly. I served mine with a green salad and it made for a lovely Sunday evening dinner.
Eggplant Croquettes with Garlic Aioli
Recipe adapted from Plenty by Yottam Ottolenghi
I use one large eggplant instead of two medium ones, which was a big mistake (maybe not a big mistake but a mistake none the less). When cooking these over the flame the big eggplant charred too fast on the outside before it could fully soften on the inside, so smaller eggplants are ideal. Or you can just cook it in the oven and then it wouldn’t matter which size you use, they would just take longer to cook! Both instruction sets are below.
Serves 6 (or you can halve this as I did!)
4 medium sized eggplants
2 medium russet potatoes, cooked, peeled and smashed
1 large egg beaten
5 oz. feta, crumbled
¼ cup grated parmesan
½ teaspoon salt
About 1 ¾ cups breadcrumbs
Oil for frying
1 egg yolk
2 small garlic clove diced
1 ½ tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup grapeseed/vegetable oil
¼ cup olive oil
Burn the eggplants. You can do this by cooking the eggplant over a medium flame on a gas stove, rotating the eggplant every few minutes until the eggplant is charred and collapsed. This should take about 12 – 15 minutes. If you don’t have a gas oven you can cook the eggplant in the oven. Stab the eggplant with a fork (make sure you stab all over) and roast in the oven at 400 degrees for about an hour until tender. When the eggplants are cool, make a slit along each eggplant and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh; try to avoid the black skin. Place eggplant in a colander and discard the skin. Leave to drain for 30 minutes to get rid of some of the liquid. Once drained you should have about 1 ¼ pounds of eggplant flesh. Chop the eggplant flesh up so you don't have super big chunks of eggplant!
Place the eggplant flesh in a large bowl. Add the potatoes, egg, feta, parmesan, salt, and some pepper. Bring everything togther gently with a fork; you want to keep the mix quite rough. Add about half the breadcrumbs, just enough so the mix is sufficiently solid to hold its shape but is still a little sticky. Place the remainder of the breadcrumbs on a large plate.
Take small handfuls of the eggplant mixture and roll it into little logs in your hands (about 1 inch by 3 inches), then roll egg log into the breadcrumbs and place them on a baking sheet. Repeat this until you have rolled all the eggplant mixture into logs. Refrigerate the logs for at least 20 minutes but you can refrigerate for up to a day.
Fill a large pot with oil. Heat the oil on medium heat. When the oil is hot, place some of the croquettes in (I did 5 at a time), cooking until golden brown in color (should only take a could of minutes). Place the cooked croquettes on a paper towel while you cook the rest. When finished cooking serve with the garlic aioli!
For the aioli: Combine the egg yolk, garlic cloves, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of water, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk all the ingredients together. Slowly (and I mean very slowly) drizzle in the olive oil while you whisk (I usually dribble in a little and then whisk). After drizzling in the olive oil, drizzle in the other oil (once again slowly). The whole process should take about 5 minutes. Once done you should have a slightly thinned mayo.

Four Canton men were sentenced to prison this week for their involvement in a drug-trafficking ring in which cocaine, heroin and crack cocaine was brought into Stark County and distributed by members of the Rated R street gang.
Jasmine Watkins, 29, was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Virgil Hill, 26, was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Cordrick Owens, 32, was sentenced to 12 years, 7 months in prison. Jerry Gordon, 25, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
All four previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute controlled substances (cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin).
Watkins also pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, for which he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, to be served concurrently to his 20-year sentence.
"This group is well known to law enforcement for causing serious trouble throughout Canton," U.S. Attorney Steve Dettelbach said.
Watkins provided Gordon with shipments of drugs at a home in Columbus and then Gordon and others moved the drugs to a stash house he controlled on Sol Beck NE in Canton.
Once there, Gordon distributed the drugs to local dealers, according to court documents. Hill was identified in court documents as the leader of a Rated R clique.
He and others made large purchases of cocaine from Gordon, according to court documents.
Seventeen people have now been sentenced to prison in this case.
They are: Travis Grant: 10 years, 1 month. Timothy Bertram: 4 years, 9 months. Oscar Todd: 10 years, 5 months. Edward Turpin IV: 10 years. Perez Antwan Williams: 5 years. Demond Hill: 10 years, 2 months. Bennie Woodson: 6 years, 10 months. Ronald D. Hill: 6 years, 10 months. John L. Hill: 3 years, 1 month. Barry Giamourdes: 4 years, 3 months. Brandon Jones: 10 years. Lavanya Mayle: 5 years. Brian Brown: 6 years.
Five others were indicted on federal charges last month for their role in the conspiracy.

Testing Standard and Modular Designs for Psychotherapy Treating Depression, Anxiety, and Conduct Problems in Youth

Ugueto, Anya Ho, Jacqueline Martin, Jane Gray, Alisha Alleyne, David A. Langer, Michael A. Southam-Gerow, Robert D. Gibbons, and the Research Network on Youth Mental Health. 2012. “Testing Standard and Modular Designs for Psychotherapy Treating Depression, Anxiety, and Conduct Problems in Youth.” Archives of General Psychiatry 69, no. 3: 274-282. doi:10.1001/archgenpsychiatry.2011.147
Decades of randomized controlled trials have produced separate evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety, and conduct problems in youth, but these treatments are not often used in clinical practice, and they produce mixed results in trials with the comorbid, complex youths seen in practice. An integrative, modular redesign may help.
Standard/separate and modular/integrated arrangements of evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety, and conduct problems in youth were compared with usual care treatment, with the modular design permitting a multidisorder focus and a flexible application of treatment procedures.
Randomized effectiveness trial.
Ten outpatient clinical service organizations in Massachusetts and Hawaii.
A total of 84 community clinicians were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions for the treatment of 174 clinically referred youths who were 7 to 13 years of age (70% of these youths were boys, and 45% were white). The study was conducted during the period from January 12, 2005 to May 8, 2009.
Standard manual treatment (59 youths [34% of the sample]; cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety, and behavioral parent training for conduct problems), modular treatment (62 youths [36%]; integrating the procedures of the 3 separate treatments), and usual care (53 youths [30%]).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Outcomes were assessed using weekly youth and parent assessments. These assessments relied on a standardized Brief Problem Checklist and a patient-generated Top Problems Assessment (ie, the severity ratings on the problems that the youths and parents had identified as most important). We also conducted a standardized diagnostic assessment before and after treatment.
Mixed effects regression analyses showed that modular treatment produced significantly steeper trajectories of improvement than usual care and standard treatment on multiple Brief Problem Checklist and Top Problems Assessment measures. Youths receiving modular treatment also had significantly fewer diagnoses than youths receiving usual care after treatment. In contrast, outcomes of standard manual treatment did not differ significantly from outcomes of usual care.
The modular approach outperformed usual care and standard evidence-based treatments on multiple clinical outcome measures. The modular approach may be a promising way to build on the strengths of evidence-based treatments, improving their utility and effectiveness with referred youths in clinical practice settings. Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01178554.

In a controversial move likely to enflame tensions between Russia, Europe and the US, Poland has agreed (in principal) to host bases for the “Star Wars” US missile shield intended to protect against any future missile attack from rogue nations. Russia totally opposes plans, stating that a European missile system, so close to the Russian border, is akin to the Cuban missile crisis in the 1960s where the US and Soviet Union went to the brink of nuclear war…
Any space missile system intended to neutralize the threat of a nuclear attack from rogue states was bound to cause controversy and anger. As predicted, the future development of a European US missile shield has caused very loud opposition from Russian President Vladimir Putin, directly highlighting that such a move would cause another arms race and could create a nuclear standoff between Russia, US and Europe in between.
The Czech Republic is currently drawing up plans for involvement in the US project and now Poland, a country that directly borders Russia, has agreed to more discussions about installing ten interceptor missiles. The missile shield plans are in a direct response to the ongoing threat from “rogue states”, principally Iran and North Korea, from their nuclear arms development programs the US believes they are still pursuing, but understandably, Russia is suspicious that the US is attempting to gain strategic strength in Eastern Europe. Mr Putin has hinted strongly that although Russia is not planning to begin wholesale targeting of Europe, any “new targets” in the future would be connected to the “strategic nuclear potential of the United States… in Europe” (see BBC article “New era of discord for Russia and West” for full information on the new political unrest). Scary.
“We understand that there is a desire for defence modernisation in Poland and particularly for air defence modernisation in Poland. This is something that we support because it will make our ally, Poland, more capable,” – US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, supporting the missile defence plan in Poland.
The US missile shield concept depends on European fast response missiles to be launched as soon as the threat of imminent attack is detected from aggressors in the Middle East and beyond. By detecting possible nuclear missiles clearing cloud cover and entering space, radar bases within the EU can track and then guide conventional missiles from the shield network to intercept. Tests of such a system have so far had a mix of success and failure, but with improvement of the “Star Wars” technology (a name first coined in 1983 after announcement by US President Ronald Reagan for the commencement of the “Strategic Defence Initiative”) and rocket engineering, rates of successful interception are bound to increase.

But this will be a good way to show where we have been, or rather where we are eating each week. Yup, we’re some of those people that like to take pictures of our food and Instagram is addicting.

We are honored to dedicate this post to the Jai Lao organization, based in San Ramon, California. The organization helps alleviate financial hardships for Laotians in Laos. Specifically, they hope to improve schools and education for disadvantaged children.
Papaya salad is a Laotian dish that stands out the most. One of the prime ingredients is padaek, a thicker fish sauce made of fermented fish. It doesn’t sound so elegant but don’t knock it till you try it! The ladies of Jai Lao makes the best papaya salad I have ever had (sorry mom). They brew their own padaek, from scratch. Everything in the papaya salad blends well together but the padaek adds that extra kick.
By the way help their cause by checking out their website and donating here: Jai Lao.
