Deep within the heavily guarded Israeli Embassy in Bangkok, David Polonsky is taking a sip of his coffee, discussing the role of politics in his work.
"In Israeli art and cinema and literature, you might say that the political situation is too preeminent," Polonsky said. "Real art cannot deal with flat political questions."
Polonsky, an illustrator and an artist who moved to Israel when he was 8 years old, does not seem hung up on his heritage or identity. If he recognises the influence of his homeland in his work, it only to the extent that art is aimed at an audience.
"Illustration could be defined as a form of pop art, meaning that it has
to use the visual or semantic vocabulary of the culture it belongs to," he said.
On first glance, Polonsky's turbulent home is very much present in his art. From his illustrations of Old Testament stories to the animated documentary "Waltz With Bashir", on which he worked as art director, much of Polonsky's work has dealt with Israel and Judaism. "Waltz With Bashir", which premiered this May at Cannes, follows the film's director, Ari Folman, as he reconstructs his memory from Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon. Polonsky said the movie deals not with politics but with memory. It is not a critique of Israel's policies, but a universal condemnation of "the stupidity and atrocity of war".
The film was recently released in Israel and France, where it has been well-received by critics and audiences alike. "Before the film's premiere, we were a little bit worried that people would put too much emphasis on the political issues. The moving thing is that this isn't the focus and people are relating to the film as something that moves them, something that makes them think," Polonsky said.
The animated documentary is set for an autumn release in the United States, just in time for the Oscars, but as of now, it has no distributor in Thailand.
Asked to choose his favourite work, Polonsky quickly settled on "Waltz with Bashir".
"Movies are the most influential form of art today," he said. While discussing favorite film-makers, he expressed equal admiration for the animation of the Hayao Miyazaki and the slapstick humour of the French director Jacques Tati. "I haven't seen a lot of his films, but every time I do, my jaw drops like 'wow'," Polonsky said about Tati.
"I'm not very funny, not ha-ha funny," Polonsky said, though he does identify with the Soviet-Jewish comedic tradition. Having lived in Kiev until the age of eight, Polonsky feels a kinship with other Jews who grew up in the Soviet Union. He described similarities between his life and that of the protagonist in "The Russian Debutante's Handbook", a book that "caught something very idiosyncratic" about those who lived (and left) a fading Soviet empire, he said. "There is a certain kind of sadness and humour in them because they were brought up in a dying culture on the one hand and on the other a deep culture," Polonsky said
Polonsky, who described his favourite authors as "a lot the big Russians, but not Dostoevsky", identified traces of this humour "something akin to Woody Allen, but with a darker turn to it" in his Old Testament drawings.
"This is the kind of Soviet-Jewish humour," he says, "like if you see that Abraham is a little bit shabby, that's funny for me." The illustrations, which were commissioned to accompany reworked Biblical texts by the satirical writer Ephraim Sidon, are on display at Khon Kaen University until July 30.
Neither Polonsky nor Sidon considers himself religious, and the artist and illustrator approached the project as a chance to highlight the Bible's literary qualities, "maybe even showing that there is some kind of Jewish mythology and it's very, very beautiful and moving and not necessarily related to religion".
Polonsky sees a very different, but equally interesting, challenge in being an Israeli artist. "The good thing and the bad thing about being an artist in Israel is that you have no tradition," he said.
"You can invent things and nobody tells you what to do, and so a lot of creative solutions come out of that lack of tradition."
How would Polonsky assess the state of art in Israel today? The illustrator, who teaches at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, hesitated to draw a conclusion, but eventually described it as booming.
"It's funny that regardless of the political situation for us, you might say that it's not a very bad time for Israel right now," Polonsky said.

A car with the status and capabilities of the McLaren 570S should have plenty of aftermarket tuning programs available to it. But the reality is there aren’t that many, which probably makes this new tuning kit from Novitec that much more appealing. The German tuner is most famous for developing programs for Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Maseratis, but it’s also begun putting in the work on McLaren models, most notably the 570S and 540C. Soon enough, a program for the 570GT will also be made available. For now though, the 570S takes center stage with a tuning program that includes engine upgrades amounting to an increased output of as much as 638 horsepower and 507 pound-feet of torque.

On the contrary, the following piriformis stretches offer incredible effects in the treatment of sciatica pain. Note that you need to warm up before the stretches for a few minutes, and remain within the comfort limits. It is important to consult your spine specialist first. Then you can start with these 10 piriformis stretches for sciatica relief, and you will be surprised by the positive effects!
Gait analysis studies in the elderly show that they typically have a shortened step length. Whether that is a result of tight hip flexors or due to reduced balance, the propensity to walk with shorter steps will itself lead to tightness in hip flexors and anterior joint structures. Hip stretches may be a relatively easy preventative strategy for the elderly with gait abnormalities and may help to prevent falls.
Your doctor may order imaging tests, such as an MRI, to get more information about the location and cause of the irritated nerve. An MRI can show the alignment of vertebral disks, ligaments, and muscles. A CT scan using contrast dye can also provide a useful picture of the spinal cord and nerves. Determining the cause of sciatica can help guide the course of treatment. X-rays can help identify bony abnormalities but can't detect nerve problems.
The sciatic nerve is the largest and longest nerve in the body. It arises from the spinal cord as a collection of fibers from the lower vertebrae. This nerve is responsible for the sensation of the skin of the foot and entire lower leg except for a small area on the inner side. It also supplies muscles in the anterior, lateral and posterior compartments of the leg.
A pinched nerve is an uncomfortable condition that may cause shooting pain, tingling, and discomfort, particularly if it occurs in your back, spine, or hip. A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding bones, muscles, or tissues. The pressure interrupts proper nerve function, causing pain, numbness, and weakness.
Hip flexor strains and injuries are often caused by “over doing it” (such as exercising) or periods of prolonged sitting combined with weak hip muscles. While hip flexor strains are typically not serious, they can be quite painful and severely limit your activity and mobility. Airrosti rapidly resolves most hip flexor injuries in as few as 3 visits — without the need for injections, medications, or long periods of rest.
Stretching is your next move, but not just any stretches. "Before your workout, you want to go for dynamic stretches, or stretches that put the joint through a full range of motion," says Lefkowith. Moves like squats and lunges will get your muscles fired up (especially if you focus on squeezing your butt at the top of those squats), says Lefkowith.
Please note that none of the above given tips or recommendations substitute medical advice. Important: consult a health professional in case of an injury or if you suspect overuse of joints or a medical condition such as a fracture. A physician should be consulted in those acute cases when the condition is accompanied by reddening, swelling or hyperthermia of joints, ongoing joint trouble or severe pain and/or are associated with neurological symptoms
The only activity performed on a regular basis that fully extends the hip is walking and running. Hence as activity levels decrease so does the ability to extend the hip. This results in compensatory pelvic tilting and lumbar extension, with a reduction in the ability to accommodate uneven ground, negotiate obstacles, or attempt to change walking speed quickly. The compensatory pelvic tilt that accompanies tight hip flexors also predisposes the individual to postural problems and back pain. Hip stretches done on a regular basis can help you maintain extension range of motion and thereby improve function.
Place a mini band around your ankles and spread your feet about shoulder-width apart. Keeping your legs relatively straight (you want the motion to come from your hips) and toes pointing forward, walk forward 10 steps, then backward 10 steps. Take a short break and then walk to the right 10 steps, then to the left 10 steps. Again, focus on keeping your legs straight and toes pointing forward.
• Rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the joints that occurs when the body’s immune system – which normally protects us from infection – mistakenly attacks the synovium, the thin membrane that lines the joints. Although rheumatoid arthritis most commonly affects the hips, knees, hands, wrists, feet, elbows and ankles, it can also affect the facet joints in the spine, causing pain and, in severe cases, destruction of the joints. This may allow the upper vertebra to slide forward on top of the lower vertebra, a condition called spondylolisthesis. The slipped vertebra may put pressure on the spinal cord and/or the nerve roots where they exit the spine.
Great exercises and stretches that can be easily done throughout the day to strengthen and loosen my hip flexors. i have very tight hip flexors so it's very helpful for me knowing these exercises and stretches. For those that want more info about exercises and stretches for hip flexors, i recommend the "unlock your hip flexors". It is a program that will show you many more exercises and stretches you can do. So check it out here
Holland also suggests doing strength work in different planes of motion to keep all the muscles in and around your hip flexors, especially your glutes, firing correctly.“You can’t have good hip flexion if your glutes are tight or weak,” Nurse says, “so it’s super important that you’re always stretching and strengthening the front of your hip flexor and the back, which are the glute muscles.”
The hip flexors are the group of muscles that allow you to lift your knees toward your chest and bend forward from the hips. What is collectively referred to as the hip flexors is actually a group of muscles that includes the iliopsoas, the thigh muscles (rectus femoris, Sartorius and tensor fasciae latae), and the inner thigh muscles (adductor longus and brevis, pectineus and gracilis).

Here is how you do the hip rotation stretch: Sit on the floor with your knee out straight. Cross one leg over the other by placing your ankle on top of your knee (as if crossing your legs while sitting). Gently pull your knee across your body, and hold for five seconds. Then gently push the knee of the top leg away from you until a stretch is felt in your hip. Hold this position for five seconds, then slowly release. Repeat 10 times.
A vertebral compression fracture in the spine occurs when one or more vertebra become smashed or compressed. This injury is typical in individuals with osteoporosis and the elderly and can be caused by severe trauma to the back as well, such as in a car accident or following a fall. Symptoms include a sudden popping sound in the back and pain in the back. Treatment may include rest, wearing a back brace, or procedures such as vertebroplasty.
These exercises can be done three to five times per week; be sure to build in a rest day here or there to allow your hip muscles to recover. Working to strengthen your knees and ankles can be done as well to be sure you completely work all muscles groups of your lower extremities. Remember, your ankle and knee muscles help control the position of your hips, just as your hip muscles control the position of your knees and ankles. They all work together in a kinetic chain.
Sit at the front of your chair with knees bent and feet flat, holding onto the sides for balance. You can do this exercise with eyes open. Or for deeper concentration and a balance challenge, try it with your eyes closed. With your knee bent, lift your right leg about six inches off the ground (or as far as you can). Hold for three counts, and then lower it back to the floor. Repeat with your left leg for one rep. Do 10 reps total.
Kidney pain, kidney stones, kidney failure, and advanced kidney infections can cause radiating lower back pain, especially pain that affects the lowest ribs in the back and higher buttock area. Kidney issues can also cause pain in the groin area and difficulty urinating. Groin pain in women, especially pregnant women, is a special concern and the patient should be taken to the ER immediately. If you think a kidney issue is causing your back pain, get to an ER—because once a kidney issue is advanced enough to cause back pain, it is usually quite serious.
• Juvenile Spondylarthropathy. Also called juvenile-onset spondyloarthritis (spinal arthritis), this term is used to describe spondylarthropathies that begin before age 16. In addition to affecting the spine, they may cause pain and inflammation in the joints of the pelvis, hips, ankles and knees. They may also affect other body organs such as the eyes, skin and bowels.
How to: Sit on the floor with knees bent so that your right shin is positioned in front of you, your left shin behind you and your left hip dropped all of the way to the floor (a). Inhale and press your left hip forward until you feel a stretch in the front of your hip (b). Exhale and press left hip back to the floor. That’s one rep (c). Complete six to eight reps, working each time to increase your range of motion. Repeat on the opposite side.
How to do it: Begin with your hands and knees on the floor in a tabletop position. Grab a resistance band and hold it directly beneath your shoulders. Loop one foot through the band so it sits halfway down the foot. When ready, move only the banded leg backward, keeping the knee at a 90-degree angle. Your foot should be facing the ceiling, and your hip, thigh, and knee should all be in alignment and parallel to the floor. As you move your leg backward, focus on contracting the glute and not moving the knee joint. When you can’t extend back farther without changing your leg position, stop. Slowly lower to the start position. That’s one rep. Repeat this movement, alternating sides each time.
These issues tend to be more rampant in women because they generally have wider pelvises than men, Ali Kotek, M.A., A.T.C., P.E.S., a performance enhancement specialist and fellow endurance program manager at Athletico, tells SELF. So to keep the thighs vertical, rather than angled in toward each other, the outer hips have to be even stronger. That’s especially true for women who are bounding from one foot to the other as they run down trails and treadmill belts.
Before recommending exercises, physical therapists evaluate their patients to develop a routine that’s appropriate for their specific condition. Pariser says the following exercises, done at home and at the gym, are generally safe for everyone. “If a patient has already received a total hip replacement, however, certain precautions should be taken,” he says.
Your hip flexors and psoas muscles help drive your legs up when you are running. To stretch these muscles, kneel on the floor and then step out forward with your left leg so that your left foot is on the floor. With your back straight, lean forward so that your weight is on the front foot and you feel a stretch in the hip of the back leg. Perform the stretch on both sides.
When it comes to your workouts, low-impact aerobic exercises are generally best and least likely to cause issues, says Kelton Vasileff, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “I recommend swimming, walking, elliptical, cycling, and stationary biking for general exercise,” he says. All of these are great ways to move your body without pounding your joints.

The good news is that a well-rounded strength-training program—like the one Félix provides below—can target every muscle in your hips to build better overall strength. Add this routine to your workout two or three times a week to target every muscle in your hips. For each move, complete three rounds of ten reps. If it’s a single-leg exercise, repeat those reps on each leg.
To complete this stretch, get into the same kneeling position from the half kneeling hip flexor stretch. Whichever leg you have raised, place that hand on your hip. (So, if you’re doing this exercise with your right leg, place your right hand on your right hip, and vice versa.) Next, tighten your glute muscles, and reach around your body with your free hand to grab that foot. Pull that foot upwards towards your upper body
The hip is a common site of osteoarthritis. To help protect the hip joint from "wear and tear," it is important to strengthen the muscles that support it. Your hip also controls the position of your knee, and strengthening your hips may be one component of your rehab program for knee pain. Your physical therapist may also prescribe hip exercises after total hip replacement if you have a hip labrum tear or as part of your hip exercise program for hip pain.
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place left ankle right below right knee, creating a “four” shape with left leg. Thread left arm through the opening you created with left leg and clasp hands behind right knee. Lift right foot off floor and pull right knee toward chest, flexing left foot. Hold for 30 seconds, then repeat on opposite side.

That’s a problem. “Elongated periods of sitting sends messages to certain muscles to stay turned on, which keeps other muscles turned off,” says Beachbody fitness expert Cody Braun. “This creates an imbalance, which can immobilize your hips.” Your hips are built to move in almost any direction, explains Braun, and when they’re stiff, they don’t just make exercise more difficult; they also make you more prone to pain in surrounding joints — including the oft-troublesome lower back.
Kidneys — The kidneys are a matched pair. One painful kidney can cause back pain on one side or the other. Kidney pain can feel like back pain, and may occur on only one side. It is usually quite lateral, and just barely low enough to qualify as “low” back pain. However, when kidney stones descend through the ureters, they can cause (terrible) pain in the low back. Kidney stone pain is often so severe and develops so rapidly that it isn’t mistaken for a back pain problem.
How to: Start feet hip-width apart, with your arms straight out in front of you. Step one foot back on a diagonal, feet flat. Once your foot reaches the floor, lower into a shallow lunge. Keep your knee bent and butt back, twist your pelvis, and rotate your arms back behind your body until they frame the knee. Return to starting position. That's one rep. Do eight reps on each side. Do three to four sets before moving on to the next move, resting for 30 seconds in between each set.

Tight hamstrings are a common cause of lower back pain, and if you have a desk job, you’re at risk for both. Perform the seated forward fold paschimottanasana several times a day to stretch your shoulders, hamstrings, and spine. Sit on your mat with your legs straight, your feet together and flexed, your torso erect (but not arched), and your chin lifted like you’re proud to be performing this pose (which you should be!). Take a deep breath in, straightening up as much as you can, and then fold forward, walking your hands down the sides of your legs as you lower your torso as far as you can. Hold the pose for 8-10 breaths, and then slowly reverse the movement to raise your torso back up.
How to: Start in a standing position with your feet hip-width apart. Bend your knees slightly, and sit your hips back into a slight squat position. Keep your arms lifted at shoulder height, with your elbows bent and facing the side of the room. Bring one foot up, rotate your hips, and place that foot down on the ground, diagonally behind your body. Pause, then return to starting position. That's one rep. Do eight reps on each side. Do three to four sets before moving on to the next move, resting for 30 seconds in between each set.
Ischiofemoral Impingement is a common but widely unrecognized cause of hip and back pain. It is caused by a narrowing of the space between the pelvic bone and femur bone, which pinches soft tissues between these boney protrusions. Symptoms of ischiofemoral impingement include front hip pain or feeling of stretched muscles in the hip or hip tendonitis, pain in the hip socket, hip pain at night lying on side, and a feeling as if there is a hip out of place. Treatment for ischiofemoral impingement includes rest, anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, and physical therapy aimed at strengthening the gluteal muscles so the patient can better control the pelvis.
Most back pain is harmless – caused by sleeping in an awkward position, stretched muscles, overexertion, sitting down too long or falling on the ischial tuberosity (the bones of the butt that you sit on), or minor hip injuries caused by twisting a certain way during sports like volleyball. Many injuries arise simply from improper form during exercise, sports injuries, or strains.
Their research differs from past studies of chronic low back pain, which tended to focus on patients who already had a well-established track record of long-term problems (in other words, the people who had already drawn the short straw before they were selected for study, and are likely to carry right on feeling rotten). Instead they studied new cases of chronic low back pain, and found that “more than one third” recovered within nine more months. This evidence is a great foundation for more substantive and lasting reassurance for low back pain patients.
Strong muscles support and protect your joints. “Strengthening the lower body takes some of the pressure off of the hip and knee joints,” says William Oswald, DPT, a physical therapist and clinical instructor of rehabilitation medicine at NYU Langone Health. This can relieve some of the pain and protect against more damage. “It can also make daily tasks, such as climbing the stairs, easier,” he says.
This pose is one of the most comfy ones for the lower back and hips. It will also stretch your neck, shoulders, and chest. Lie on your back and hug your knees into your chest. Breathe in deeply, and then exhale completely, lowering both legs to the floor on your left (keep your knees higher than your hips). Position your arms out to your sides, or place your left forearm on your right thigh (as pictured) to encourage a deep stretch, relaxing both shoulders to the floor. Shift your gaze over your right shoulder. Close your eyes, take 10 deep breaths, and then release. Repeat to your other side.
With a roster of muscles ranging from the powerful glutes to the small and agile abductors, the hips control practically all your movements. Almost every endurance athlete overworks some hip muscles while underworking others, causing severe imbalances: Runners are infamous for having weak hip adductors—the muscles on the side of the hip that help you step laterally—while cyclists tend to have massive quads and tiny glutes.
Sit on floor with knees bent and shins stacked with right leg on top. Use your hand to position right ankle on left knee. Ideally, the right knee will rest on the left thigh, but if your hips are tight, your right knee may point up toward the ceiling (overtime, as your hips become more open, your knee will lower). Keeping your hips squared to the front of the room, hinge at the hips and slowly walk hands slightly forward. If this is enough of a stretch, hold here, or fold your torso over your thighs to go deeper. Hold for at least 30 seconds, then repeat on opposite side.
You can perform this exercise seated in a chair or on your back on the floor. In a chair, cross your left ankle over your right knee and then lean forward until you feel a stretch in your hip. On the floor, cross your left ankle over your bent right knee and then reach under with both hands and pull your right leg toward your head. Perform each variation on both legs.
Start in a runner’s lunge with right leg forward, right knee over right ankle and back leg straight. Walk right foot over toward left hand, then drop right shin and thigh to the floor, making sure to keep right knee in line with right hip. Allow left leg to rest on the floor with top of left foot facing down. Take a moment to square your hips to the front of the room. Hold here, or hinge at hips and lower torso toward floor, allowing head to rest on forearms. Hold for at least 30 seconds, then repeat on opposite side. You want to feel a moderate stretch in the outside of the right thigh, but if this pose hurts your knees or feels too uncomfortable, stick with Thread the Needle.
The hip flexors are the muscles at the front of your hip. They’re responsible for several essential functions. Since they’re so often overlooked, we often forget to stretch them before exercising or engaging in rigorous activities. Tight hip flexors can also be a product of being sedentary. So, if you don’t lead an active lifestyle, or if you spend most of your day sitting at a desk, you’ll be susceptible to hip flexor tightness.
Wrapping a Thera-Band around your ankles before you perform Lateral Walks or Shuffles increases resistance, strengthening your hip abductors and gluteus medius. When you perform this exercise, you will quickly find out if you have weak hips. This is most beneficial for basketball players, who are required to be in a crouched defensive stance and shuffle when playing defense.
To avoid hip flexor pain, you should pay more attention to these muscles, Dr. Siegrist explains. When you are seated, your knees are bent and your hip muscles are flexed and often tighten up or become shortened. “Because we spend so much of our time in a seated position with the hip flexed, the hip flexor has the potential to shorten up. Then, when you are in a hurry because you are running to catch a bus or a plane, or you trip and fall, the muscle could become stretched. Here’s this stiff, brittle muscle that all of a sudden gets extended, and you could set yourself up for strain or some hip flexor pain.”

It’s been a while since we have seen Adam Lambert on stage, but this Friday is going to provide that opportunity as he will be playing at the St. Agathe en Feux Festival in the town of Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Quebec.
Before we get into any detail about the town itself, let’s talk briefly about the festival and the city itself. Although we may have never heard of it before, the St. Agathe en Feux Festival is a pretty big occasion in the predominantly-French-speaking town. Adam is not the only major perform playing the event (as Kenny Rogers will also be performing), and it is expected that people are going to come from all over the province (if not the world) to check it out.
However, Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts is hardly a major city, with a population of just under 10,000 people. It is also situated about an hour’s drive north of Montreal, and a little bit further from Canada’s capital city of Ottawa. It is not the first time Adam has performed in the province, having been at the Balloon Festival during the Glam Nation Tour last year.
As for the question that most people want to know the most — the setlist — that has been kept under wraps. While Adam certainly does have some new music by this point, it’s unlikely that he will show too much off (largely because it benefits him the most to debut a new single on the national stage). If he does play a song from his upcoming album to release later this year, it’s likely going to be one that is not a lead single. At the end of the day, don’t go expecting anything new — go expecting a good time, and you are probably not going to be disappointed.

The healing power of dance
People dance for many reasons. Some, for example, see it as a way to celebrate while others view it as a type of exercise. Two Ryerson researchers, however, are curious to find out if dance can serve an even bigger purpose: helping young people to heal from traumatic experiences.
Jennifer Lapum, a professor in the Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing, and Jennifer Martin, a professor in the School of Child and Youth Care (CYC), have partnered with Boost Child & Youth Advocacy Centre, and Unity, an arts-based organization for young people, to launch the five-year research project Sole Expression. With more than $1.1 million in funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada, and a sub-grant of almost $262,000 to Ryerson, the study will determine if and how a dance-based intervention reduces trauma-related symptoms, such as anxiety and impulsivity, among youth who have experienced child abuse or have been exposed to family violence.
In particular, the research will focus on youth who are on a wait-list – often for up to a year – to receive psychological services. Meanwhile, those young people need immediate mental health support and developmentally appropriate interventions to cope with the emotional effects of trauma, says Martin.
When treatment becomes available, it usually involves cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). A widely used treatment for trauma, CBT has people talk extensively about their traumatic experiences. It's believed this helps diminish feelings of anxiety.
"CBT is considered the gold standard in treatment, but sometimes talk therapy isn't enough," says Martin. "CBT is very much about the mind and many young people who have experienced trauma feel disconnected from their bodies."
For that reason, Lapum says, the movement-based therapy of dancing could provide a viable, and perhaps more effective, alternative to CBT for some youth.
"Trauma is held in the body, and dancing can be a safe way to deal with trauma and develop trust with your body," says Lapum, who specializes in arts-based research.
Sole Expression, which is currently recruiting participants, will begin next month with a pilot dance program in Toronto. Later, a larger intervention will run in Toronto and Orillia.
Accompanied by a trauma therapist and led by Unity dance instructors who have received training in how to deal with trauma, approximately 14 to 16 young people per group will learn hip-hop choreography. Then, instead of talking about their traumatic experiences during the 10-week program, the youth will use mindfulness and movement to regulate their emotions, integrate with other participants and develop a sense of community and empowerment.
Through interviews with program participants and surveys and focus groups with dance-intervention facilitators, Lapum and Martin will determine if the program decreased the young people's symptoms of trauma. Along the way, the researchers will receive help from several Ryerson community members: research co-ordinators Sara Cowan, Psychology MA ’12 and PhD ’16, and Emmie Henderson-Dekort, a master's student in CYC; and Sole Expression advisory committee members Joe Blake, a master's student in CYC, and Cassandra Myers, an undergraduate student in CYC.
"This intervention may reduce symptoms of trauma for young people on wait-lists," says Martin. "We're also interested to see if it eliminates the need for future treatment."


ESPN's John Clayton raised eyebrows around here when he ranked the Atlanta Falcons atop his power rankings ballot last week.
The Falcons had just suffered a 30-20 defeat to Carolina, after all. They were looking as if they would again become playoff chumps, not potential Super Bowl champs.
The view is a little different this week after the Falcons scored a 34-0 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants in Week 15. But with San Francisco knocking off previously top-ranked New England, the 49ers have assumed the No. 1 spot in ESPN's NFL Power Rankings heading into Week 16.
The Falcons remained stuck at No. 5 despite again getting Clayton's highest regards. Atlanta might have to prove itself in the playoffs before our other voters come around.
Jamison Hensley, Ashley Fox and I ranked the 49ers first on our ballots. Dan Graziano became the first of our voters to rank the Denver Broncos No. 1 this season. That helped the Broncos rank second overall, ahead of Houston, New England and those potentially underrated Falcons. Green Bay held firm at No. 6, and Seattle jumped three spots into the seventh slot after its second consecutive game with at least 50 points. Graziano moved Seattle up five spots, the largest jump for any team on his ballot.
Falling (12): New York Giants (-5), New England Patriots (-3), Baltimore Ravens (-3), Chicago Bears (-3), Detroit Lions (-3), Tampa Bay Bucs (-2), New York Jets (-2), Cleveland Browns (-2), Philadelphia Eagles (-2), Pittsburgh Steelers (-1), San Diego Chargers (-1), Buffalo Bills (-1).
Rising (11): Washington Redskins (+4), New Orleans Saints (+4), San Francisco 49ers (+3), Seattle Seahawks (+3), Dallas Cowboys (+3), Carolina Panthers (+3), Miami Dolphins (+2), Tennessee Titans (+2), Arizona Cardinals (+2), Cincinnati Bengals (+1), Minnesota Vikings (+1).
Deadlocked: We broke no ties this week.
Like minds: All five panelists ranked the Seahawks seventh and the Rams 17th.
Agree to disagree: At least five spots in the rankings separated high and low votes for eight teams. The Jets produced the widest disparity.
A look at the highest and lowest votes for the eight teams in question:
Jets (6): Clayton and Hensley 18th, Sando and Graziano 24th.
Falcons (5): Clayton first, Sando sixth.
Ravens (5): Clayton eighth, Fox 13th.
Giants (5): Fox ninth, Clayton 14th.
Bears (5): Clayton 10th, Fox 15th.
Panthers (5): Sando 20th, Fox 25th.
Chargers (5): Clayton 22nd, Fox 27th.
Titans (5): Sando 23rd, Graziano 28th.
Power Rankings histories: These colorful layered graphs show where each NFL team has ranked every week since the 2002 season.
Ranking the divisions: The NFC West overtook the NFC North and AFC North as the highest-rated division on average. The NFC East was second, followed by the AFC North, NFC North, NFC South, AFC South, AFC East and AFC West. The AFC East and AFC South tied for sixth with an average ranking of 17.25.
A voter-by-voter look at changes of at least five spots since last week:
Sando: Cardinals (+5), Titans (+5), Saints (+6).
Clayton: Giants (-6), Lions (-5), Buccaneers (-5), Panthers (+5).
Graziano: Bears (-5), Seahawks (+5).
Hensley: Dolphins (+5).
For download: An Excel file -- available here -- showing how each voter voted this week and in past weeks.
The file includes a "powerflaws" sheet pointing out potential flaws in voters' thinking by showing how many higher-ranked opponents each team defeated this season.
For example, the Packers and Patriots outrank the Seahawks even though Seattle defeated both teams.
A quick primer on the "powerflaws" sheet:
Column Y features team rankings.
Column Z shows how many times a team has defeated higher-ranked teams.
Change the rankings in Column Y as you see fit.
Resort Column Y in ascending order (1 to 32) using the standard Excel pull-down menu atop the column.
The information in Column Z, which reflects potential ranking errors, will change (with the adjusted total highlighted in yellow atop the column).
The lower the figure in that yellow box, the fewer conflicts.


Easy listening to the beginning of Rock and Roll
Station Of The Stars
Romantic Instrumental Mood Music featuring the passionate violin of Gary Schnitzer and his ensemble....
The artists in this segment share these two things: They are all still living and playing great jazz. Listen and support their artistry.


Feeling less than optimistic about America’s future under the Biden regime? Virginia was nice, but a center-right nation founded in freedom has a long way to go to extricate itself from this madness. The Democrats are entrenched, at least for the time being, and are evermore aggressively grasping at the levers of power. They will stop at nothing to keep Virginia from happening again.
But it will happen again. Even if the left wanted to change course right now and pull a Dick Morris-esque Clintonian pivot away from communism, it’s too late. The direction set in motion by their incompetency and subversion cannot be corrected. The results of their actions and inactions will continue to mortify the flesh of the body politic right up to conservatism’s best chance for a course correction, 2022, and a retrieval of the reins of governance.
Hard rock and heavy metal can’t help with the policymaking. But three recent releases by seminal rockers provide anthems for those inclined to resist accompanied by a thunderous soundtrack. Recording artists can frame the big picture, lift spirits, and renew the will to fight.
And so, we highlight three new anthems released since the onset of the Democrats’ opportunistic, infectious, strategic new calling card, COVID-19.
Ted Nugent “Come And Take It”
Conservatives tuned into a recent segment of Newsmax host Eric Bolling’s new show, The Balance, were treated to something from Ted Nugent that was music to their ears. No, it wasn’t yowling riffage from Nuge’s masterpiece, “Stranglehold,” or flashback licks from his biggest hit, “Cat Scratch Fever.”
It was Ted Nugent the commentator, saying simply that American patriots aren’t going to “lower their expectations,” fold their tents, or submit to despair in the face of an un-American governmental coup. Nugent waxed optimistic, talking about his new album and the “best hunting season he’s had in a long time.” Ted’s overarching message was that we’ll get through this, and in the meantime, life must be enjoyed.
It’s a great message. Here’s Ted’s companion message, from new album Detroit Muscle:
AC-DC “No Man’s Land”
No man’s land indeed. Especially, dare we say, for a white man?
This mofo kicks ass in classic Brian Johnson/Angus Young style, with compelling vocals, a dinosaur back-beat, and saturation-bomb guitar layers, striking to the very heart of empire.
COVID descended and laid waste in ways (many unrelated to the actual viral effect) that historians will ponder for decades. Right in the middle of it all, the Australian masters released the album Power Up, fired one across the bow of the contextual ship of state, and heralded a return from the fields of contagion.
U.D.O. “Metal Never Dies”
Metalheads have heard it all. From the slow death of Celtic Frost to the over-the-top of Iron Maiden’s “Trooper.” They know every permutation of every riff, every derivative of every great anthem. Every now and then, though, something comes along that is new and yet of the ages.
And it is agreed: This is what we want.
“Back when I took my first breath
The days were dark and grey
No belief, no hope, all had nothing to say”
Envision being born in West Germany in 1952, the cities of the former Reich still in ruins. President Kennedy’s Soviet-busting airlift to save Berliners from starvation was in recent memory. Imagine coming of age, as Vocalist Udo Dirkschneider did, with the Cold War looming over the back porch.
The former Accept frontman has broken through, in the dying throes of a Chinese-cooked virus, with a new album, Game Over. In concert with contemporary releases from Nugent and AC-DC, it delivers big league, announcing that hard rock is not dead and affirming the advice of sages down through the centuries:
‘Nil carborundum illegitimi’.
For those in Rio Linda (thanks, Rush!), that means “Don’t let the bastards get you down.”

Actress-turned-author Cameron Diaz dedicated an entire section of her new health guide The Body Book to her feelings about pubic hair, and it seems she's taking a pro-pubic hair stance. She openly discusses the subject and questions why young women have laser hair removal, comparing the “fad” to changes in style.
“I hear that there’s a big fad these days of young women undergoing laser hair removal of all of their lady bits,” she wrote. Diaz concludes that the idea of laser hair removal is a crazy idea because of its permanence.
The 41-year-old actress says in her new book, which encourages women to love their bodies, that pubic hair serves as a “pretty draping” which adds mystery to her sexual encounters. She also reveals that her vagina is “fully dressed”, and she prefers when someone special can “unwrap it” like a gift.
“I know you may think you’ll be wearing the same style of shoes forever and the same style of jeans forever, but you won’t,” she continues. “The idea that vaginas are preferable in a hairless state is a pretty recent phenomenon and all fads change, people.”
The cubana also had a more...ahem...practical reason for keeping her hair. "Let's be honest: just like every other part of your body, your labia major is not immune to gravity. Do you really want a hairless vagina for the rest of your life?"
Her advice about pubic hair can be found in her latest creation, The Body Book, a holistic approach to helping women achieve a happy, healthy life. What do you think? Are you a Brazilian wax devotee or do you prefer au naturale?

Thanks to a voter-approved construction bond measure, the coastal school district will build its new school with a 30-foot tall gymnasium that will be able to withstand both a megathrust earthquake from the Cascadia Subduction Zone just off shore and the pounding of tsunami waves.
A groundbreaking ceremony will start at 1 p.m. at the Ocosta Elementary School, 2580 S. Montesano St., Westport. A reception will follow in the community gym.
When built, more than 1,000 people will be able to gather atop the gymnasium for refuge from tsunami waves.
Westport sits just 25 feet above sea level and, like other coastal communities, is vulnerable to tsunamis, particularly those that might stem from the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 600-mile-long fault that runs from northern California to Vancouver Island.
The school, next to Ocosta Junior/Senior High School, sits on a peninsula connected to the mainland by a bridge that would likely be damaged by a Cascadia quake.
Students, faculty, and staff, as well as nearby residents, could flee to the building’s upper-level if a tsunami hit the Washington coast. By placing the earthquake-resilient building atop a small hill, the rooftop haven will sit about 55 feet above sea level, well above the tallest surges predicted for the school site.
“If a tsunami were to strike, there wouldn’t be much time to get to higher ground,” said Tim Walsh, chief hazards geologist for the Washington State Geologic Survey. “So we wanted to find a way to make higher ground closer to the coast.”
Walsh was part of the team that helped design the structure. The gymnasium and refuge was designed by Degenkolb Engineers and TCF Architecture, through the efforts of Project Safe Haven, which was launched by the Washington State Emergency Management Division in response to the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Tohoku, Japan. Construction is expected to be completed by this time next year.
Construction was made possible by local voters, who approved a $13.8 million bond issue to build the school and refuge in 2013.

Lunar Prospector Mission Status Report #15
January 26, 1998 - 07:00 p.m. EST (4:00 p.m. PST)
The Lunar Prospector spacecraft continues to operate well according to Mission Control at NASA's Ames Research Center. The current state of the vehicle (as of 0000 GMT [Zulu] on Jan. 27), according to Mission Operations Manager Marcie Smith, is as follows:
|Spacecraft Orbit Number:||174|
|Data Downlink Rate:||3600 bps|
|Spin Rate:||11.94 rpm|
|Spin Axis Attitude
|Longitude -- 352 deg
Latitude -- 89.3 deg
|Trajectory:||Periselene: 88 km
Aposelene: 112 km
Period: 118 minutes
|Eclipses:||25 minutes duration|
During the day on Jan. 26, 24 commands were sent to the Lunar Prospector spacecraft to reorient the spin axis and trim the spin rate. The spin axis is now approximately aligned with the ecliptic north pole, but it is tilted about 1 degree or so towards the sun for thermal reasons and to reduce boom shadowing on the solar arrays. As the Earth moves around the sun, the spin axis must be "tweaked" a bit to maintain this configuration.
The spin rate was trimmed to keep it within the boundary constraints desired for gravity mapping. The rate will be kept to 12.00 ± 0.10 rpm during the first two months of the mission to assist in achieving the gravity mapping objectives of the mission.
A detailed timeline of today's commanding events (expressed in GMT/Zulu time) is provided below:
|16:52||Thruster heaters commanded on|
|17:18||Reorientation maneuver -- 12 pulses were fired to precess the spacecraft spin axis 2.4 degrees|
|17:28||Thruster heater commanded on|
|17:54||A spin trim was conducted to reduce the spin rate of the spacecraft from 12.098 rpm to 11.936 rpm via a 0.61 second thruster burn|
As of 4:00 p.m. PST today (Jan. 26), no further spacecraft commanding or science instrument commanding events are currently scheduled for the upcoming period.

Jobs safe at Nottingham leisure complex, says bar operator
The company which operates the Bierkeller Entertainment Complex (BEC) has told TheBusinessDesk.com that its wants to assure its customers that all of its bars are open for business as usual despite the owners going into administration.
Burning Night Limited, which owns the companies which in turn own Bierkellers in cities around the country, announced it was ceasing trading this month after experiencing cashflow issues.
But it says its bars and restaurants in Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Nottingham have been unaffected by the decision, meaning that all jobs and all customer bookings are secure.
A spokesperson for BEC said: “Although we regrettably took the decision to close our Cardiff site, it has always been our priority to safeguard the other sites and keep them operating as usual. Both the company that owns the lease and the operating company of the Bierkeller Entertainment Complexes in the five other cities are trading as normal.
“We understand that customers may be concerned, especially if they’re planning to celebrate Christmas with us, but we want to assure them that they have no need to worry. Our Christmas bookings are stronger than ever and we’re looking forward to a very busy few months.”

“Hometown” is the latest single from New York’s Imaginary People. Landing somewhere between ’80s stadium rock (The Alarm, War-era U2) and latter day saints such as the War on Drugs, the track feels like sweeping emotional victory while tackling one of the truths of life in our time: Home ain’t what it used to be. As gentrification has become the spirit of the decrepit age, as commercial banking signs become our overlords, who have we become?
The band’s Dylan Von Wagner says, “It’s about what happens when your town is replaced with something that seems to sway on the benign and it kind of leaves you with this dread. It’s all spread out in this cookie cutter mold, and the town doesn’t have its own personality, just another brush stroke on the bland canvas of suburbia.”

KADUNA, North-West, Nigeria – The Labour Party, Northwest zone, has debunked the statement credited to President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, (NLC) Comrade Ayuba Wabba, that the party belongs to NLC.
“That the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has stated categorically that the National Chairman of Labour Party is Alhaji Abdulkadir Abdulsalam. It is therefore in bad faith, that the NLC president, Ayuba Wabba to undermine this position.
“That our great Labour Party under the able leadership of Alhaji Abdulkadir Abdulsalam participated in the just concluded Ekiti and Osun states governorship elections and the party will continue to participate in all elections come 2019.”
The spokesman explained that while the party appreciates and acknowledge the solidarity of the organized labour with the party, it stated that the Nigerian Labour Congress is not the owner of Labour Party.
“Once a political party is registered it has a life of its own, and it can only be regulated by its constitution (see section 80 of the Electoral Act 2010 (As Amended),” he observed.
The party advised the NLC president, Ayuba Wabba to remain focus on his roles as president of the NLC and address issues affecting workers welfarism, instead of meddling in the activities of political parties.
“Nigerians are not unaware of the plight of the Nigerian workers who are impoverished occasioned by the current low minimum wage, unpaid salaries and allowances while others have been sacked indiscriminately,” the party said.
The current leadership of the party, he said, under the leadership of Abdulkadir Abdulsalam believes in the rule of law and the sanctity of its constitution.
“We therefore call on Nigerians to support Labour Party and its candidates all over the country to bring the desired change and progress in managing the affairs of our country,” the party appealed.
He said, “It is our obligations to set the records straight. We should no longer be living in an illusion as what some opportunists use to dilute and mislead the public on the integrity and quality of leadership of our dear Labour Party. We have been deceived by some vicious circles within and outside the party.
“All legal authorities have cleared the air over the constitutional backings of Labour Party as an independent registered political party with its extent rules and regulations governing its activities.
“We realized that the party national chairman, Abdulkadir Abdulsalam is no longer the culprit but reactionaries within and outside the party who are sponsored to bring the party down at all costs.”

This is a short video of a man participating in a keg-tossing competition when one of the kegs he throws bounces off the pole he's trying to toss it over and comes down on the back of the head, knocking him out cold. Thankfully, the man was "sent home from the hospital with a clean bill of health." And, presumably, a doctor's recommendation to retire from keg tossing.
Keep going for the video.

|Running time||92 minutes|
The story beings on July 5, 1939. The film opens with narration by Julien, who states he is going on 15, and that he is in love with his cousin Julia, and that Julia's younger sister, Poune, is in love with him. His self-obsessed sister Claire is about to marry for money. He lives with his mother who has taken on boarders due to financial difficulties: a german professor who fled the Nazis, his daughter, and a fading actress, Clementine.
Julien constantly tries to win the attention of Julia, whilst Poune tries to win the attention of him. Julien gives Julia a Swiss army knife as a gift, though she shows little interest in it. She later gives it to Poune. Claire's fiancé, Charles, shows interest in Julia. The professor continues his experiments into capturing a soul, whilst his daughter encourages Julien to pursue Julia. Julia writes of her interest in Charles in her diary, and talks of her pity for Julien, who she hopes will find a woman. Julien later confronts Julia and protests her friendship with Charles, to no avail.
Julia and Charles court but she rejects his sexual advances. Claire questions Charles about his relationship with Julia; Charles pleads ignorant. Mathilde, one of the maids, makes sexual advances on Julien, and Juliens mother catches her naked in Juliens bed. Mathilde is sent away and is replaced by Madeleine. Charles immediately makes a move on Madeliene, and arranges a time for the two of them to meet alone. Poune overhears and tells Julien, who promptly sends Julia a letter pretending to be Charles and asking her to meet at the same time and place. Julia catches Charles having sex with Madeliene and is furious at him. Clementine comforts Julia.
The following day is Julia's 16th birthday party. The partygoers leave early; however, after is it discovered that Germany has declared war. Charles, the male servants, and Julien's father leave the home to go to war. The absence of the men creates extra work for Julien, the professor and the women. Julien, focused on work, loses interest in Julia. Clementine is informed she will have to leave the following week as her room has been rented. Exhausted from the previous days work, Julien falls asleep in the hay and is awoken by Justine, one of the female servants. Justine asks Julien to undress her and then has sex with him.
The next day the woman are preparing breakfast for Julien. Justine attempts to take it to him however one of the other servants insists it is her turn. Julien is next seen kissing the naked servant girl. He coerces her into performing oral sex on him. Julia walks in on Julien and the servant girl. Julia slaps Julien in the face upon finding them; Julien replies that it is none of her business. Later Poune gives the Swiss army knife back to Julien, telling him that they are no longer friends.
Julia tells Clementine she has decided to leave with her. Clementine tries to talk her out of it. Julien approaches Julia. The two argue; Julien tells Julia he is ashamed that he used to love her. The two fight, then wrestle on the ground before slowing down and eventually kissing. In the final scene Julien and Julia are lying naked together in the hay. Julia asks if he will give her the Swiss army knife again. In a cocky voice, Julien replies "Yeah sure, baby, sure" as he puts his clothes back on. Julia replies, "Don't speak to me like that." Julien replies in the same tone "OK, baby." Julia slaps him in the face, and the screen freeze frames on Julien's shocked expression.

“All around they see not rivals but mentors. Gravitating to living masters and young gurus, they talk not of themselves but of the greatness of others. As a result, their sound is pure, their language is concise. Although perpetually young-looking, they are the opposite of naïve. Their groove is light and precise and the smile in their eyes maintains a near-constant sparkle.”

Pianist Aaron Goldberg wrote these thoughts about Joris and Jazz in
for Introducing Joris Roelofs: New York City
remains an artist-magnet. The intrepid flow in from everywhere, their paint brushes or their saxophones on their back, often still searching for a place to sleep. Some show up with a point to prove, and they are usually the first to attract notice. On occasion others arrive with a different kind of special mission. Instead of a moral to teach or an agenda to push, these brave selves search for a lesson to learn. Tey are driven by the love of their art. New York
All around they see not rivals but mentors. Gravitating to living masters and young gurus, they talk not of themselves but of the greatness of others. As a result, their sound is pure, their language is concise. Although perpetually long-looking, they are the opposite of naïve. Their groove is light and precise and the smile in their eyes maintains a near-constant sparkle.
Perhaps they have some metaphysical guardian, a Vajravarahi [Tibetan Buddhist diety that helps free one from suffering and gain enlightenment through meditations] to help uproot the ego?
Or maybe their meditations just focus on the truly important: line and melody, mouthpiece and embouchure, narrative and harmony, and the rest follows inevitably. These are the true faithful. From the inside they may see only detours, but their paths are straight and their bearing upright. From the outside they glow like the enlightened. More importantly, they are a joy to listen to. Joris Roelofs is one of the rare arrivals.”
With all of this by way of background, “The Kids” such as Joris, Aaron, bassist Matt Penman and drummer Ari Hoenig “are doing just fine” as you can hear for yourself on the sound track to the following video montage.
The tune is pianist Aaron Goldberg’s The Rules which is an excellent example of the kind of tension-and-release, repetitive phrases and sustained tones can create in Jazz. Aaron takes the first solo, followed by Ari on drums with Joris’s solo closing it out before the piece’s “surprise” ending.
[BTW, if the music of Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh, and Lennie Tristano comes to mind while listening to Joris' quartet, your memory is a credit to modern Jazz history].
Joris Roelofs recordings are available as audio CD’s and Mp3 downloads from a number of online retailers.

Hello, I’m posting this as I really have run out of ideas. I’ve restored my dt175mx from a non runner. The engine is fully rebuilt, exhaust decoked, stator rewound, rotor is intact, carb has been cleaned and I’ve fitted new jets to suit the standards in the Yamaha manual I have. I’ve put a new coil and plug on. Timing is set as the marks state. Reeds look good and all rubbers are tidy. New air filter and everything nice and tightly done up. Oil pump is rebuilt and the exhaust has a nice blue tint.
she fires up first kick, ticks over nicely, but once you ride it it it has nothing from 4 to 5 k., splutters and won’t rev. I just can’t think what I’ve missed and don’t know where to turn. I’ve spoken to a guy who sells CDIs who is adamant that is not the problem. So really not much more I can check with my limited knowledge.
i know someone else on here has experienced a similar issue, and would really appreciate any guidance to resolve it.

Don’t feed the trolls. Social media professionals hear it all the time. Viewing constant negativity is bad for our health – it can lead to trauma, stress, anxiety, even depression. It’s one of the top reasons for burnout in our industry and it can be hard to overcome. That’s why it’s important to establish boundaries. […]
What is dark social? No, it’s not some evil underground global network run by Russians. Dark social is the conversation you’re having outside the public realm. Instead of tweeting or sharing everything on Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat, people are connecting more and more through private channels.
The 2018 Massachusetts Marketing Summit, presented by IC Summits, took place just before the holidays at the Westin near Copley Square Boston. I was honored to be asked onto a panel all about social media trends and what’s next. I shared the panel with Melanie Cohn from Dunkin’ Brands, Ann Unger of Puma, and Kim […]

Moringa oleifera is a tree native to the southern foothills of the Himalayas in northwestern India and widely cultivated in Africa, Central and South America, Sri Lanka, India, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
I’ve been really interested in Moringa for a number of years. It has quite a reputation internationally as one of the world’s most nutritious foods. As an herbalist, I’ve been intrigued by the possibilities of a food that offers so much benefit to anyone ingesting it, and also hope to those looking for dynamic botanical solutions to the problems of world hunger. There are so many aspects of Moringa oleifera to consider. For now, we are looking primarily at the leaf as a dynamic source of nutrition, though the ‘drumstick’ fruit pods are very commonly eaten as well. The roots and the seeds, when harvested, provide other diverse benefits.
This is an extremely important plant! It is a complete protein, contains a good deal of nutrients including calcium, iron, magnesium, is a complete protein source and contains many different vitamins and unique phytochemicals. It would be ridiculous to ‘standardize’ or extract this plant, it is a leaf vegetable used across the world for many years.
Yet it has been virtually absent from the U.S. market. Unfortunately what little I myself have found on the market has been of very low quality. As I’ve worked with the Food Movement to find a premium raw material internationally (which we have finally secured – more on that to come) I have come to appreciate why it is so easy to get it wrong with Moringa.
(The Food Movement biodynamic freeze-dried Moringa whole leaf powder will be available here in September.)
Initially, suppliers of Ayurvedic herbs would offer Moringa leaf powder at a surprisingly low price. Then, we found that some suppliers would only offer it as an extract, because the fresh raw material was often easily contaminated with potentially harmful microbes. I myself believe that the only preparation one should consider is the whole leaf. It is, after all, a food.
There is definite misinformation out there causing some to consider something other than whole leaf Moringa. Just look to the wiki page on Moringa oleifera and you find this nugget of (mis)information
“Some of the calcium in moringa leaves is bound as crystals of calcium oxalate which may inhibit calcium availability to the body. It is not clear whether the calculation of the reported amount of calcium in moringa leaves includes such non-bioavailable calcium.”
However, the reference they provide only documents that Moringa contains calcium oxalate (which it does, and many plant sources of calcium do) not that calcium oxalate is a non-bioavailable calcium. A study published in 1999 in The Journal of Nutrition found that calcium oxalate indeed was a bioavailable form of calcium. The researchers concluded “Thus, calcium bound as a small, neutral, calcium salt such as calcium oxalate does not have to be dissociated prior to absorption. Possibly other small compounds would be similarly absorbed. These results alter our current understanding of calcium bioavailability from foods and therapeutic agents.”
Anybody good at doing wikipedia edits? I believe many people who have a negative opinion of calcium in plants as “non-bioavailable” would benefit from seeing this study.
Oh, and if the waters weren’t all ready murky enough for you… now Dr Oz has entered the arena…
Stay tuned to this bat channel for more examinations of the many healing aspects of Moringa to come. Harvest time is now!

This Description may be from another edition of this product.
Sailing toward dawn, and I was perched atop the crow's nest, being the ship's eyes. We were two nights out of Sydney, and there'd been no weather to speak of so far. I was keeping watch on a dark stack of nimbus clouds off to the northwest, but we were leaving it far behind, and it looked to be smooth going all the way back to Lionsgate City. Like riding a cloud. . . .
Matt Cruse is a cabin boy on the Aurora, a huge airship that sails hundreds of feet above the ocean, ferrying wealthy passengers from city to city. It is the life Matt's always wanted; convinced he's lighter than air, he imagines himself as buoyant as the hydrium gas that powers his ship. One night he meets a dying balloonist who speaks of beautiful creatures drifting through the skies. It is only after Matt meets the balloonist's granddaughter that he realizes that the man's ravings may, in fact, have been true, and that the creatures are completely real and utterly mysterious.
In a swashbuckling adventure reminiscent of Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson, Kenneth Oppel, author of the best-selling Silverwing trilogy, creates an imagined world in which the air is populated by transcontinental voyagers, pirates, and beings never before dreamed of by the humans who sail the skies.

Goodyear approves new short-term rental regulations
The Goodyear City Council has approved new measures for short-term rentals.
Those include a license, notifying neighbors and a mandatory response time for emergency and complaint contacts.
The city reacted based on a new law which took effect Saturday. It returns regulation of short-term rentals from state to local control.
“When the Legislature preempted local control over short-term rentals in 2016, we saw a landslide of unintended consequences created by this industry’s incredible popularity and investment potential across the state,” stated Mayor Joe Pizzillo in a press release. “The Legislature’s most recent bill allows cities to more evenly balance the regulatory scale to balance the property rights of short-term rental owners with the quality of life of their neighbors. This ordinance is a step in the right direction, and I’m proud of our city’s leadership on this issue.”
Online registration for a license begins in December. The city’s ordinance will then go into effect Jan. 1, 2023.


The rate of drug overdose deaths increased 9 percent in 2017 over the previous year, the most dramatic rate of increase since the Department of Health and Human Services began tracking overdose deaths 30 years ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Tuesday.
The number of drug overdose deaths hit 50,129 last year, the highest number since the government began keeping track. Officials attributed the rise largely to fentanyl, a heroin-like synthetic drug that is 50 to 100 times more potent than heroin.
The death rate from fentanyl-based opioids — carfentanil, fentanyl and other forms of heroin — increased by more than a third, according to the new report. Carfentanil, as one example, kills an average of 5 people per day, according to emergency departments that deal with its overdoses.
Carfentanil is known as an elephant tranquilizer and reportedly is used to sedate elephants.
White House drug czar Robert O. Johnson said the sad new report did not come as a surprise.
“A number of key risk factors have become substantially more prominent over the last few years, and overdose deaths have continued to increase,” he said. “This is part of a longer term trend. We have to continue to work on prevention, and we need to find new ways to treat drug addictions.”
The drugs that contributed to the increases include fentanyl, heroin, synthetic opioids such as carfentanil and fentanyl analogs, which are also increasingly abused, and prescription painkillers, the report said. In addition, methamphetamine and ecstasy use also increased in 2017, with methamphetamine use rising the most among African-Americans.

A new pack of anti-aging companies like Unity Biotech, Cleara Biotech, and Oisín Biotechnologies think there’s a connection between so-called senescent cells—those that no longer divide—and the effects of growing old.
Clear out cells that have gone into this sleeplike state, the thinking goes, and youthful vigor will return. But not much has been known about how these cells affect the brain.
Now scientists who have taken a careful look at the brains of mice think senescent cells could have a role in neurodegeneration and memory loss.
In the new study, senior author Darren Baker of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota found that if researchers removed senescent cells or prevented them from building up, they could prevent brain degeneration in mice prone to it.
The results, published in Nature, are among the first to take a careful look at senescence and its possible connection to conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. “I think this is a very interesting new avenue, a new way to look at aging,” says Li-Huei Tsai, director of the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the author of an editorial accompanying the study. “I am kind of optimistic that this new idea is going to stimulate a lot of people to think about this.”
Baker, a molecular biologist, says the concept of clearing out detrimental cells from the brain is nowhere near ready to try on people. Early tests of this anti-aging concept, like one under way at Unity (which holds patents naming Baker as a co-inventor), are so far targeting specific diseases, like arthritis in the knees, rather than aging as a whole.
Baker got interested in senescence about 15 years ago after genetically altering a mouse to make it more cancer-prone. Instead, the changes accidentally sped up its aging process, he says, and there was evidence senescent cells were involved.
Targeting these old cells has become a major quest among a few anti-aging companies. Baker says he’s unsure whether targeting senescent cells in the brain will be helpful or have side effects like triggering cancer. “We really have no idea right now,” he says.
Because mature neurons naturally don’t divide anyway, it hasn’t been clear how they are affected by senescence. The new study suggests it is the “helper” cells—the microglia and astrocytes surrounding the neurons—that are at the center of the effect.
