I thought that I wanted to talk a bit about my food philospohy. I think that it can be summed up to: Food has to be fun, whole, beautiful, loved and enjoyed!
I am soooo tired of commercials advertising ready-made, fast, zero-nutrition food, because it makes people forget how the real deal should taste - and more importantly, how to cook the real deal! The article in NY Times "Out of the kitchen, onto the couch" by Michael Pollan (read itHERE) was the final nudge I needed to realize how important it is, that the few of us who actually cook everything from scratch, make sure to shout it out loud to the public, and make them understand how easy, delicious and rewarding it is. How many young people today knows how to make their own mayonnaise?
2 egg yolks
1 tsp of dijon mustard
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon or any other vinegar)
a bit of salt and pepper
Oil (cold-pressed and organic preferably)
Whisk it until the yolks are turning white, then slowly add oil (rapeseed, olive or whichever you like) to the mixture while whisking. When the mixture is shiny and thick-looking, you can add oil at a faster pace. Add about 2 dl of oil. If it gets too thick, add a bit of water. Make sure that everything is room temperature when starting, and you can't go wrong. Store in glass container in the fridge for about 5 days tops. You can add garlic, spices, herbs, chili or whichever you like to the mayo. Mix it up with some organic yoghurt naturel og soya yoghurt for a nice dressing/dip. Play with it! It's easy-peasy and I can whip up a batch in 5 minutes, including putting things in the dishwasher afterwards - you'll learn very fast!
Mayonnaise with hard-boiled eggs serve a nice egg-salad without any E-numbers or other nasty things.
Enough talking about mayonnaise, even though it is an amazing type of food when home-made and made from organic, beautiful and honest ingredients - and a great way to get those unsaturated fats!
Through the years I have read a LOT about different ways to eat, on my way to figuring out what is good for me to eat. I've come to the conclusion, that while I'm glad to know which foods my body can't tolerate that well, and how I should eat to feel my absolute best, there is NO WAY that I'm going to jeopardise amazing flavours and intense pleasure and indulgence, to eat completely clean. This all comes down to me thinking that life should be somewhat spontanious and filled with extravagant experiences, some of these which I gain through cooking and eating. Some days and even weeks I eat what I like to call "clean". To me, this is food with no dairy, no sugar and a very small amount of gluten (some pasta will do, but no bread). If I eat like this, I feel my best physically - but what about mentally? As you will see on this blog, I have a number of recipes honouring this way of eating clean (a chocolate mousse made from avocado, real cacao powder and dates is one example), which is the ones I indulge in most of the time. But I also bake cookies, cakes, extravagant layer cakes with mousses and muffins, I bake amazing organic spelt bread, which I eat with ice-cold organic butter and I make Pasta Milanese with cream - and enjoy it all the way!!! When I make the choice to eat something that might make me feel less good, I choose to enjoy it, to really appreciate it, and simply be a real bonvivant! I think that you should do the same. I will address the issue of healthy eating some more throughout my blogging, but I can tell you now, that I believe the biggest reason for our populations all over the world growing bigger by the minute, is that people have forgotten what real food is...
I'll leave you with a recipe for the most gorgeous almond spread to use on crackers, in sandwiches, on chicken - you name it! On this picture is it accompanied by some semi-soft rosemary crackers, recipe following below. The crackers can be hard, depending on how thick you roll out the dough.
Salty almond spread:
3 dl almonds
2 tbsp organic, cold-pressed avocado oil (can
be subbed for oliveoil or rapeseed oil)
2 tbsp organic, cold-pressed olive oil
1 tsp maldon salt (I like mine rather salty, so taste-test it underway)
Fresh thyme or other herbs - basil is good (optional)
Garlic is good in it as well, but it is just as yummy (and easier to serve) without it.
Grind almonds, oil and salt in a food processor for around 4-5 minutes until you have a spreadable mass. It can take longer, depending on your appliances. Add herbs and run for around one minute until everything is incorporated. Eat and enjoy :-) Keeps a couple of days in the fridge.
Semi-soft rosemary crackers:
3,75 dl organic wheat flour
2 organic eggs
½ tsp maldon salt (any salt will do, but I like this one, as it does not only contain NaCl but also other minerals )
A few tbsp of cold water
1 tbsp cold-pressed, organic olive oil
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary (I added some thyme in the batch you see above, which was very good)
Heat up the oven to 175 degree celcius (350 degree fahrenheit). Mix dry ingredients, add eggs and oil and gather the dough quickly with a spoon. Add water if needed for the dough to stick together. Roll out as thin as you like on a baking sheet, and score the dough into desired cracker-size bits. Bake at 175 degrees for approx. 10 minutes, or as long as needed to reach the cripsness you would like. If you make them very thin, then make sure to keep an eye on them, as they might be finished in less than 10 minutes.

4.3 based on 3 reviews
I came here for lunch with my wife and a few mates. The club itself is amazing. It's spacious and everything looks new and clean. The service at the bars were pretty good. Everyone seemed happy and it looked like they enjoyed their jobs here. We ate upstairs at the bay brasserie. Me and my wife ordered the half rib rack costing $30 and the veal Olivia costing $30. Both of these meals were absolutely amazing. The portion sizes were incredible, I'd suggest you don't eat anything before comming here as you will definitely leave feeling full. My rib dish was tender and juicy and full of flavour, I was definitely impressed. My wife's veal Olivia was also tender and cooked to perfection.

We spent this week in Sardinia travelling down the west coast and round to Cagliari and found ourselves following an intriguing trail of abandoned mines and Mussolini’s Facist New Towns…not quite what we were expecting from a destination we had associated more with emerald seas and white sand beaches…
…though we saw a fair few of those too.
Our week here started in Porto Torres on the north west tip of the island. We arrived about lunchtime after a four-hour ferry crossing from Propriano in Corsica.
We’d spent the previous three nights wild camping between Propriano’s marina car park and a lay-by outside Ajaccio so were feeling pretty grubby. But unlike Corsica where we were lucky to find one open campsite, we couldn’t find any sites open over the winter in Sardinia. And so our first stop was a hotel in Alghero….funny how we still feel a little guilty when checking into a hotel. But a hot shower and a comfy bed soon knocks that on the head.
The first task in Alghero was to buy a detailed map of Sardinia. We found one in this excellent bookshop with stacks of interesting looking books that made us wish again we could speak some, any, Italian,. And they were serving wine so you could sip as you browsed the shelves…what’s not to love.
Is there a vacancy for ‘Irish person to run bookshop, must enjoy wine.’ There might even be a sitcom in it.
Then it was time for food and our first encounter with the friendly people of Sardinia…here’s Fabiola Ibba from the cafe restaurant Lu Barril on via Mazzini.
Fabiola helpfully marked up our map to highlight the places we should try to visit on our travels round the island. And the food was pretty excellent too. Here’s our favourite one – risotto with clams, artichokes and chilli…..
…which Stuart washed down with Sardinia’s best known beer Ichnusa.
And that’s as good a cue as any for the latest addition to the blog – Stuart’s Beer Gallery where Stuart is faithfully recording the different beers he samples on our trip with admirable dedication to firsthand research.
The pretty port of Bosa was one of the places Fabiola suggested we visit. On the coast road on the way there, we found a public pump where we could fill up our water tank. Maybe it wasn’t going to be so difficult to wild camp on Sardinia after all.
We arrived at Bosa’s riverside…
…and then using the Campercontact app found a place where overnight parking was permitted, though no services were provided.
Once again we were the smallest in the playground.
We parked up and headed off to explore the colourful old town which is perched up the side of a hill.
It was a good stomp up to the castle which was closed but it was worth the trip anyway to see the views over the town and to the sea beyond.
But other than a few sun worshipping cats and an elderly Austrian who has been coming to Bosa for 15 years “though it has it’s flaws’ he told us cryptically, we didn’t see another living soul.
Though we could hear throughout the streets the rhythmic sound of many builders hammering away renovating the old houses ready for the summer tourist season to come.
And there were quite a few properties up for sale. How about this one – it’s going for 75k euro for a four-storey house. Bargain investment or money pit?
Life on the farm – or not
After Bosa, we decided to head inland. Our plan was to stay on a farm – one of the ones in the Fattore Amico scheme we’d joined when first planning this trip.
Our original itinerary before we changed our plans to do the Corsica-Sardinia-Sicily island hop would have given us much more time in Italy. This farm scheme (which you join by buying the guide book which includes the membership card) allows campervanners to stay for free on farm land, without any other camping services provided. In return the farmer gets the opportunity to showcase and hopefully sell whatever the farm produces.
As the 2016 membership expired on 10 February 2017, we hoped we’d get in under the wire and experience at least one of the farms in the scheme. We telephoned one promising sounding place, inland from Bosa, and in a tricky conversation where the farmer had to enlist the aid of a friend/son with some English, he agreed we could stay there ‘domani’.
And so domani dawned and off we set to find the farm.
Tis better to travel hopefully they say. We pictured the evening ahead – warm and well fed in front of a blazing fire, exchanging smiles and nods with a twinkly-eyed weather-beaten Sardinian farmer while his equally twinkly-eyed wife fed us with hearty Sardinian fare while we checked Google translate for ‘no I couldn’t possibly eat anymore’.
The idea that they would just leave us in a chilly van (our gas heater is unfortunately not working) after making us buy more kilos of smelly cheese than we could possible eat simply didn’t figure in our rustic daydream.
The farm was difficult to find. Even Serena (as the manual names our silky-toned GPS navigator) was stumped.
Then when we were sure we’d finally found the right place, there was another obstacle.
Even if we could get our farmer to unlock the gate, the heavy rain had made the mud track impassable for our non-four wheel drive van.
We gave up and headed back to the nearest village to find somewhere to park overnight, driving all the while directly towards forked lightning and black storm clouds. But every cloud ….
The nearest overnight parking stop was in the village of Fordongianus, once an old Roman spa town.
The parking area for motorhomes was right beside this natural hot spring…
…where the water coming out of the ground is so hot….
…even the locals were coming up to boil their greens…
And even better, just up from the hot springs, there was a mini-spa where for 4 euro you could have a 30-minute soak in the hot sulphur-smelling waters.
Who needs a hotel when nature offers it all on tap?
The thunder and lightning storm continued for most of the night, but next morning the sun was shining and a hot bath and hot porridge beckoned. All was right with the world.
And now for some Facist architecture…
It was seeing Arborea on the map which first set us on the trail of the Facist New Towns in Sardinia.
At first we weren’t sure that this place to the west of Fordigianus was even a town. It was marked as a series of horizontal and vertical lines in a symmetrical grid pattern. And as for the name? It sounded like some rural Utopia.
We weren’t that far off as it turned out. Arborea, or as it was originally called Mussolinia, was the first Facist New Town built in Sardinia back in 1928. It was part of Mussolini’s dream for self-sufficiency and here the project was designed to turn malarial marshland swamps into fertile agricultural land.
The new town created was initially populated by people from the Veneto region on the mainland which is why the architecture of the main square looks vaguely in the style of buildings from home for these new ‘colonials’.
But further away from the main square, the architecture was much more severe…no frills here on the Casa del Fascio, the building which was the former facist headquarters and is today a municipal cafe/bar serving damn fine coffee.
And next door, this is the Casa del Balilla – originally the facist youth centre.
And this was the former sports centre, now looking very dilapidated.
It was all strangely fascinating and we wanted to see more. Our next stop was Cortoghiana where the housing was constructed in the 1930’s for the coal workers employed in the nearby mines.
Then we went to Carbonia which was also constructed as a model town for the coal mining community.
Sardinia’s mining industry which enjoyed a boom time back in 1870’s is now dead and the towns are quiet…all very different from how they look on this footage of the day il Duce came to visit.
Mines and murals:
Our travels around the now closed mines took us here to Nebida …..
where there is a wonderful walk around a cliffside path…
…and we stayed overnight on the harbour front of the village of Buggerru, famous for being the site of Sardinia’s first miner’s strike back in 1904.
And the rest of our time in Sardinia included a stop in the small town of Suni which first seemed unremarkable but streets and streets of murals made us stop…
….though we missed out on getting to the mountain village of Orgosolo which is apparently the place to go in Sardinia if murals are your thing.
Another one of our overnight stops was here at the white beach of Mari Ermi…
..where the sand looks like arborio rice…
…which is why everyone wants to steal it…
As for the driving in Sardinia, it did prove challenging because of the steep climbs and hairpin turns on the descents. Before going into the small village of Arbus, we had just caught up on the blog written by Gill and Chris – fellow travellers we met in Morocco – where they talked about their experienced getting stuck and almost wedged in the narrow streets. We read what happened to them, said we must make absolutely sure that doesn’t happen to us and promptly drove straight into the same position. We found ourselves hopelessly stuck in a one-way system through narrow winding, steep alleyways. And but for the kindness of a local who led us out onto the main road, we might still be there.
Our last night wild camping was on the island of Sant’Antioco where we were able to stock up on wine dispensed by petrol pump.
Well, who wouldn’t at these prices?
Then after four nights wild camping, we treated ourselves yet again. This time we opted for a self-catering apartment in the historic Castello district of Cagliari after picking up a good deal on the internet.
And as for Cagliari, there’s a city which is definitely on the list of places to return to…but we had to keep moving. Next stop is Sicily.


A swing by the MS Mondraker Team pits at Lenzerheide revealed that at least two of their riders, Brook MacDonald being one of them, are racing a prototype frame that is, sadly, still under wraps. Both bikes were clothed at the linkage area, with the shock completely out of sight.
Mondraker are tight-lipped on this one, but Brook’s mechanic, Jake Ireland, was able to share a few key details. Prototype Mondraker DH Bike
First up; it’s aluminum, and we are told it will likely stay that way for production. Secondly, the swingarm still lacks any pivot separating the chainstay and seat stay, and while it looks as though the shock is mounted at a slightly different angle to that seen on the current Summum, it doesn’t look as though the linkage will be dramatically different. In addition to being Brook MacDonald’s mechanic, Jake Ireland was part of the development team that designed this new bike. He wasn’t able to divulge much, but he could tell us that underneath the wrap lies some cnc-machined parts, the exact layout of which is still being finalized with key patents filings going on in the background. What we do know? What is sure to be the new Summum will have adjustable flex in the rear triangle thanks to the availability of two seat stay bridges that can be switched out to tune the ride feel.
Also, the BB shell is bolted onto the underside of the front triangle! The team is able to experiment with […]


It’s been quite a while since we got to play any sports game with an actual thrilling story or even single player campaign. Nowadays it mostly consists of building a team and fighting your way through countless matches and matches after matches again all the way until you are in the desired league and you’re an absolute champion. We guess can kind of feel good once you actually there but the journey to that specific spot might not be that great. That’s why FIFA17 it comes to absolutely delivers when it comes to this year’s single player mod called The Journey.
This year’s single player mod that may classify as an actual story mod this time around is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in a sports game.
You play as Alex Hunter a young, aspiring and very enthusiastic football player (you may call it soccer if you’re from America but for the rest of the world it’s football) as he tries to make his way from the backyard court to a superstar league. We know, it does sound kinda cliché but cliché is completely opposite of what this brilliant addition to this year’s FIFA has to offer.
Instead of going for a personal experience like per se NBA is trying to accomplish with their “MyCareer” game mode which turns out to be slightly worse and worse with every following installment, The Journey deliberately chooses not to be dynamic and options for a very linear yet, branching approach to storytelling. You do not get to choose or customize your character in any way say for his outfit and personality, you are who you are. This made it so much easier for EA Sports to tell a good story which would unfortunately be impossible if they optioned for a more dynamic and personalized approach.
What this means is that the game story will always have a protagonist to revolve around. No matter what your choices are your character, gender and your role will never change. It will never have to try and adopt to a different scenario based on your actions, no everything is already created and it’s up to you only to experience it.
Perhaps we made it sound like it’s way too linear for someone’s taste but rest assured that’s not the case. Despite its being made linear, the game doesn’t really feel that way. Skeptical? Just remember some of the best RPG games like Dragon Age or Mass Effect. There possibly the best story driven RPG’s of our time yet if you think about it they are incredibly linear games and no matter what you do the outcome will always be absolutely the same, especially with the Mass Effect. So yeah, be open-minded when approaching The Journey.
It is also very welcoming to take your mind off of those endless grind sessions and and stop thinking, even for a moment or to make a break from insistently crawling through the web looking for a way to find free FIFA17 coins and points generator.
Other than that we think this is a great opportunity for sports players who perhaps always wanted to try a different kind of game to finally do so without having to leave their comfort zone or cash additional $50 dollars for an RPG or alike video game genre title. Definitely a must play for every football fan.
Despite its linear design, this truly felt like some RPG experience rather than a sports game it was very refreshing and we hope to get much more of The Journey in the following releases of the game, perhaps even a separate downloadable content pack. Great and a very refreshing experience!

Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire. NKJV
Notice this verse shows us that it takes grace, and it is our responsibility to have the grace with which we can serve God with reverence. There are many people who serve God with all kinds of hidden motives and agendas. But you and I are exhorted to serve Him in a specific way: with reverence and godly fear. And we are provided with serving grace for that purpose!
The Message translation of Heb.12:26-29 puts it this way: “Do you see what we’ve got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander. 29 He’s actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and he won’t quit until it’s all cleansed. God himself is Fire!“ Amen. (See Ezkiel 8:2)
How did they approach God in the Old Covenant? Look at
Ex.19:3-22 And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: 4’You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.” (Also read vs.7-22)
This is a type and shadow that’s fulfilled for us in Christ. He has made us kings and priests. (Rev. 1:6; 5:10, 1Peter 2:10) God hasn’t changed. He still wants His own special people, His own set apart special treasure. If you read that entire chapter of Exodus 19, you’ll see that God required for His people be sanctified by washing their bodies and clothes as well as follow other precautions before they came before Him as He manifested His glory. It was a physical way of showing reverence. God was not trying to be scary and mean to the Israelites. He’s just a Holy and pure God. He wanted to protect them. Has His standards of holiness changed?
Remember that without the shed Blood of the Lamb on the mercy seat speaking on our behalf, without His grace in place, in our fallen state, we would never have been able to approach a holy God. Our God, being holy, pure and perfect still requires perfection in His presence. In the New Covenant, He warns us that He is a consuming fire; so we can come to Him with respect and awe. This is because even through we live in an age of grace, His presence is still destructive of evil. What does fire do? It burns the chaff and stubble. It doesn’t burn up gold – a type of His glory. He wants you to be safe in His presence, so He waits for you to sanctify yourself before He can release more of His glory. You and I can actually initiate some greater manifestations of His glory if we will receive enough grace to serve God with reverence. Papa Hagin used say that they had greater manifestations of the Spirit in the older days than these days. And they had greater reverence of the things of God too. That’s why.
In this New Covenant of grace, God invites us to His throne because Jesus through His Blood gave us access. (Heb. 4:16) It is now a throne of grace. But how do we come before Him? Heb. 12:18-29 shows us that though we don’t come to a physical smoking mountain, we have come to Jesus, to His church and to His Blood that speaks better things, Holy things. It says He will still once more shake heaven and earth, to remove things that can be shaken. So, we must still come to Him with reverence. And then we’ll see His manifest presence grow in our midst.

Alan McLoughlin issued an apology to anyone who was within earshot of his half-time team talk after Pompey’s youngsters were dealt a harsh lesson by Gosport Borough.
The Blues first-team coach launched into his players in the visitors dressing room at Privett Park for their meek display against a Gosport side who dominated the game and thoroughly deserved their 4-1 win.
The final margin should have been even more.
And McLoughlin believes the club’s development squad players have been given a stark dose of reality.
He said: ‘I did lose the plot at half-time and if anyone in the stand above the changing room heard me through any holes, I do apologise for the language.
‘I was unhappy with virtually every aspect. We know what they can do collectively and individually and they are a lot better than that.
‘It was time for them to see a different side of me.
‘They have seen me in a different light, rather than the nice guy coach.
‘Don’t worry, they will be seeing more of that and so will the first team if things are not done as we want them.
‘The boys have had a reality check on where they are and where they think they are.
‘We expect a little bit more in terms of quality, bravery and decision-making.’
Borough took the lead in the 19th minute as Mike Gosney capitalised on some slack Jack Whatmough defending to lash home an angled drive past Blues goalkeeper Billy Granger.
And Borough made it 2-0 just past the half-hour mark when former Blues midfielder Sammy Igoe’s free-kick drifted into the far corner with Sam Pearce claiming the merest of flicks on its way into the net.
With Nick Awford the only Pompey player to stand out with a gutsy display in midfield, the Blues had barely created a single opportunity in the first half but were sent out early for the second period with McLoughlin’s rant still ringing in their ears.
They looked a different side early in the half as Jack Maloney won a penalty after a rash Lee Molyneaux challenge to earn a spot-kick, which was despatched by Ashley Harris.
But Borough themselves then responded when Pearce smashed home a long-range free-kick, which Granger should have done better with, to restore the two-goal advantage.
And it got even better for Borough when substitute Jack Barton launched a 35-yarder that looped over a helpless Granger to make it 4-1 midway through the second half.
Fellow sub Justin Bennett missed an absolute sitter, when it should have been 5-1, somehow heading over from inside the six-yard box with the goal at his mercy.
But it did not take the gloss off an excellent display from the home side who, on this evidence, look well-equipped for their forthcoming Conference South campaign.
Borough boss Alex Pike said: ‘I was well pleased. Two years ago, that side would have beaten us but it shows how far we’ve come.

Tottenham will be without the injured trio of Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon and William Gallas tonight. However, assistant coach Steffen Freund thinks his team can cope without them.
“We’re playing a strong team . . . but we are confident because we’ve played so well away all season,” he said. “If we perform how we know we can, we have a good chance of progressing to the semi-finals.
“We’ve played 11 matches in this competition and we’ve been strong throughout. Okay, Inter Milan was difficult, but we managed to come back at Lyon in the last minute. Now it’s the same against Basel.”
Basel, the only domestic champions among the eight quarter-finalists, will be playing their 18th European match of the season, a marathon which started against Flora in Estonia on July 17th.
Lennon (knee), Gallas (calf), and Jermain Defoe (pelvis) have not travelled with the squad but Tottenham expect all three, and midfielder Bale, to be back for the game against Manchester City a week on Sunday.
Midfielder Sandro is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, while centre-back Younes Kaboul (also knee) is around 10 to 15 days away from full fitness.

Routine use of proton pump inhibitors such as Dexilant, Nexium, Protonix and other anti-acid inhibitors are now available over the counter for heartburn and acid reflux. They can also help kill your cancer.
These drugs are known as lysosomal and autophagy inhibitors and can help to block your cancer cells.
Cancer cells have up regulated autophagy as a major metabolic pathway for obtaining nutrition to maintain the circulating cancer stem cells. This process depends on acidification of the lysosome which is in the cancer cell. Fortunately, this process in the cancer cell can be blocked using proton pump inhibitors. They block the cancer V ATPase pump.
By blocking his cancer cell pump, they change the pH from acid to alkaline thus rendering the lysosomes and autophagy nonfunctional. Then the cancer dies.
PPIs have been studied in the following cancer: Prostate cancer, B-cell lymphoma, rhabdomyosarcoma in children, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, head and neck squamous cell cancer, gastric cancer, melanoma, multiple myeloma, and others.
These proton pump inhibitors are useful agents for the inhibition of this pump as well as restoring drug sensitivity for chemotherapy resistant cell types. They can also target circulating cancer stem cells. The use of PPIs in combination with drugs that inhibit oxidative phosphorylation as well as glycolysis would be advised to add a synergistic effect.
I always use a synergistic combination of treatments and cancer.
If you would like more information about re-purposed cancer drugs including proton pump inhibitors, evaluation of circulating cancer stem cells, targeted genomic low-dose chemotherapy, natural substances, and cancer vaccines we can help you. I am a cancer survivor for 20 years.

Unplugging TikTok is harder than it looks
In the summer of 2020, in full re-election mode and finding new ways to punish China, President Donald J. Trump threatened to cut off millions of U.S. man’s mobile phone. to US owners. The effort failed.
Now, more than two years later, after a lengthy study of how Chinese authorities use the app for everything from surveillance to information operations, the Biden administration is trying something strikingly similar. It’s better organized, vetted by lawyers and coordinated with new bills in Congress that appear to have strong bipartisan support.
Yet keeping TikTok safe from Chinese exploitation—as a tool for Chinese officials to spy on Americans’ tastes and whereabouts, as an entry point into the phones that encompass their entire lives, and as a way to spread disinformation—turned out to be more important than that. ugly.
Tensions over the app will peak when TikTok’s Singapore-based chief executive, Shou Chew, will testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Thursday, in a hearing that will provide Democrats and Republicans a rare direct expression of skepticism opportunity to the company.Tuesday, Mr. Zhou posted a TikTok The company’s main account claims that “some politicians” are trying to take the app away from its 150 million users in the US, including small businesses.
But after two years of negotiations with TikTok to establish new protections, it’s unclear what the company can do to satisfy the concerns of U.S. intelligence agencies, beyond handing over the entire operation to the Americans. The Justice Department’s No. 2 and others have effectively rejected an offer from TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to address those concerns.
Any decision to remove the app, whether by banning it from its 150 million US users or blocking further downloads, would be politically contentious for Mr Biden. The political dilemma was best summed up by Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, who is at the center of new export controls on Chinese high-tech products.
“My politicians think you’re going to lose all voters under 35 forever,” she told Bloomberg News recently.
Ms. Raimondo and other officials were quick to add that bad politics is no reason to drop a blanket ban if national security threats demand it. Some of the world’s largest news organizations, including The New York Times, now have TikTok accounts, compounding the issue, meaning shutting down the app appears to be shutting down the flow of fact-based news to counter Chinese disinformation information.
“A lot of it is cockfighting,” said James A. Lewis, who directs the Cyber Threats Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. But he believes Mr Biden has a better chance of success than his predecessor.
“Unlike the Trump administration, which I think has a chance of winning — the attitude toward China has changed,” he said. Several new bills that would explicitly give the president new powers to shut down TikTok in different ways have bipartisan support. They were driven by the intelligence community’s conclusion, contained in a global threat assessment submitted to Congress, that China remained the “broadest, most active and most persistent” cyber threat to the country.
So far, however, the threat from TikTok has been mostly theoretical.
There have been cases of abuse, including efforts to geolocate journalists who published leaked information about companies. But the government has yet to provide comprehensive declassified evidence of the systematic use of the app to advance Chinese government payments.
That hasn’t stopped nearly 30 states from banning TikTok on official government or contractor phones, and federal employees have been asked to delete it — though not on their personal devices.
There are three distinct areas of concern. The first is where TikTok stores its US user data. Until recently, much of that content was on servers operated by ByteDance in Singapore and Virginia, which many feared would allow China to demand that TikTok hand over user data under Beijing’s national security laws. This year, TikTok tried to pre-empt it, saying it would delete the data of its U.S. users from ByteDance servers and transfer them to servers run by U.S. cloud computing company Oracle.
Then there’s the harder question — who will write the algorithm, TikTok’s secret sauce code. The code evaluates the user’s choices and uses them to select more material to suit the user’s needs—a favorite dance routine, or perhaps an interesting news story. These algorithms are written in China, with Chinese engineers refining the art of giving users what they want to see. Matt Perault and Samm Sacks recently wrote on the Lawfare blog that there is concern that “TikTok may unilaterally decide to prioritize content that threatens or destabilizes the United States.” Again, it hasn’t happened, at least not through TikTok.
Finally, there’s the question of whether an app whose algorithms few understand could be a gateway into Americans’ phones for outsiders, including China’s Ministry of State Security — not to learn their dance preferences, but to learn Their great wealth is the data they carry in their hip pockets.
In November, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray warned The Chinese government can use TikTok’s algorithms to conduct “influence operations.” General Paul Nakasone, Commander of U.S. Cyber Command and Director of the National Security Agency, responded to these concerns This month, he said “it’s not just because you can influence something, but when you have such a large audience, you can also turn off the message.”
TikTok has attempted to respond to misinformation concerns with a long list of updated video moderation policies, including new restrictions and labeling rules for deepfakes — highly realistic fake videos created using artificial intelligence. For example, TikTok does not allow deepfakes of private figures, and would ban deepfakes of public figures if the content is used for endorsements. It also provided more details on how it would “protect citizens and electoral integrity.”
A spokesperson for TikTok did not respond to a request for comment.
The debate surrounding the app has become a thorny legal issue by the time Biden takes over from Trump in 2021.
A federal court ruled that Mr. Trump did not have the authority to enforce his proposal to ban the app from Apple and Google’s app stores, depriving the White House of the key leverage it used to get ByteDance to consider selling TikTok.
Mr. Biden issued an executive order in June 2021 rescinding Mr. Trump’s threat of a ban. He preserved the order for ByteDance to divest the app. But staffers at a group of federal agencies that vet foreign companies in the United States, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, are considering a third option: negotiating a deal with TikTok that would address national security concerns but not force ByteDance to sell the app.
Under its latest proposal, TikTok would not only store U.S. user data on Oracle servers in the U.S.; the cloud computing company would also monitor its content recommendation algorithm — a hedge TikTok says prevents the app from being used to spread the word publicity. The entity managing the app in the U.S. will be overseen by a three-person government-approved committee.
But the proposal did not please Washington hawks. Some in the administration — including Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco — worried that the terms were not strict enough. The government is also under increasing pressure from lawmakers who say the app should be banned entirely.
Now, the Biden administration is pursuing a new strategy.
Earlier this month, it publicly supported legislation from a bipartisan group of senators that would have given the Commerce Department clearer powers to ban the app, potentially restoring government leverage over ByteDance. Government officials have privately told TikTok they want its Chinese ownership to sell the app or face a possible ban. If passed, the legislation would significantly strengthen the government’s powers to force sales.
Peter Harrell, an attorney and former senior director for international economics and competitiveness at the National Security Council, said the proposed legislation is “important because the United States needs some clear legal agency to police and enforce the existing laws as it deals with TikTok and other Chinese apps.” non-existent behavior”.
A White House spokesman declined to comment other than to point to its existing support for the legislation.
At times, TikTok undercuts its own arguments. It has said it will not hand over information about its users to the Chinese government — although China’s national security law explicitly requires it to do so if its Chinese employees are ordered to do so by national intelligence.
when forbes Report In October, when a Chinese team at ByteDance planned to use TikTok to monitor the location of some Americans, TikTok’s communications team responded on Twitter that the publication’s work lacked “rigor and journalistic integrity.” It also said TikTok “has never been used to ‘target'” American politicians or journalists.
Two months later, ByteDance admitted that four of its employees, including two in China, had obtained the IP addresses and other data of two journalists, as well as some people connected to the journalists through TikTok accounts. Employees sought to determine whether those individuals had met with ByteDance employees so they could try to identify the source of the leaks to reporters.
TikTok deemed the case an anomaly and fired the employee. It said it had systems in place to prevent a recurrence. There is no doubt that similar privacy breaches have occurred in US companies.
But in the current climate in Washington, especially after the shooting down of a Chinese surveillance balloon crossing the United States in January, any evidence of Chinese surveillance would fuel a strong bipartisan desire to crack down on China’s entry points into American networks. Of these, none is bigger or more influential than TikTok, which is why the path the administration takes in the coming months could set a precedent that goes far beyond TikTok’s immediate fate.

IN THE TURF WAR between the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi-led opposition and the state government, the latest battle is over land. The opposition has cornered Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Agriculture Minister Abdul Sattar with charges of corruption and favouritism.
In early 2021, when Shinde was urban development minister in the MVA government, he allegedly allotted 4.5 acres belonging to the Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) to private individuals. This, despite the matter being sub-judice. The land was meant to be used for slum rehabilitation.
The issue dates back to 2004, when an activist filed a PIL in the Bombay High Court after the Comptroller and Auditor General had found irregularities in the allotment of land by the NIT. In 2017, the Nagpur bench of the court set up a one-man committee under retired judge M.N. Gilani to investigate the issue. The committee found violations in the land allotment process and said, “prima facie, this is a blatant misuse of public property.”
The court has been monitoring the allotment of NIT land for years, and has ordered status quo on Shinde's decision. It will next hear the case on January 4.
Ambadas Danve, leader of opposition in the legislative council, was the first to raise the issue. He alleged that the land was given away for around 12 crore. “Its market value is 183 crore,” the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray) leader alleged. “This is a scam and Chief Minister Shinde has favoured individuals connected to the real estate sector.” Eknath Khadse, former BJP leader and now Nationalist Congress Party legislator, joined in, demanding that Shinde resign. In the legislative assembly, NCP’s Chhagan Bhujbal and Jitendra Awhad raised the issue. Awhad, who hails from Shinde's home turf of Thane, had met the petitioners and collected all the data to implicate the chief minister. Awhad and Shinde have had an up-and-down relationship over the years.
Shinde defended himself saying he had followed the procedure previous regimes had laid down. “My order clearly said that the applicant should be charged as per 2007 orders,” he said. “I have not recommended any reduction of charges.”
The opposition refused to budge. Sensing that Shinde was on shaky ground, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis rushed to his defence. “The court has asked the state to submit its response and maintain status quo in the matter,” he said. “When Shinde took the decision, the NIT had failed to inform him that a committee had been set up to inquire into the matter. Had it been placed on record, this decision would not have been taken. Our government will not give away plots at cheaper rates causing loss to the exchequer.”
Under pressure, Shinde later told the assembly that he had cancelled the allotment.
Shiv Sena (Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut tried to create a rift between the Shinde faction of the Sena and the BJP by pointing out that three BJP legislators had originally brought up the NIT land allotment issue. “We just decided to take up the issue,” he said. “The BJP may be with the Shinde group, but its motives are sinister.”
Under fire, the Shinde camp went after the Thackeray family. Senior Sena (Shinde) leader Bharat Gogavale brought up the mysterious death of celebrity manager Disha Salian in June 2020. She was found dead after falling from the roof of a building. Her client, actor Sushant Singh Rajput, was found dead a few days later. Gogavale asked the government to reinvestigate her death and claimed that the Mumbai Police’s probe had been unsatisfactory and was aimed at shielding someone. BJP legislator Nitesh Rane, without naming Aaditya Thackeray, said that a minister from the MVA government had influenced the police investigation. He claimed that Salian was murdered and, to suppress that, the final post-mortem report had not been released and two investigating officers had been changed in quick succession. The government has announced the formation of a special investigation team to probe the death.
If the allegations against Shinde are a headache to the government, those against Sattar are a migraine. The agriculture minister allegedly regularised 37 acres of gairan (grazing) land despite a Supreme Court order prohibiting such actions. On June 17, 2022, two weeks before the MVA government fell, Sattar allotted the land in Washim district to a Yogesh Khandare. Sattar was then minister of state for revenue.
The Nagpur bench of the High Court recently held that Sattar took the decision despite being aware that the Washim court had disallowed Khandare’s claim over the land.
Leader of opposition Ajit Pawar alleged that the land was worth 1170 crore and wondered if Sattar had made money in the deal. The opposition demanded that Sattar be sacked immediately.
“Sattar was aware of the strictures of the High Court and the Supreme Court,” said Pawar. “Despite this, he blatantly misused his ministerial position and allotted the land to Khandare. The Washim district court had rejected Khandale’s claim to the said land. The district collector had written to additional chief secretary (revenue) to inform him that the allotment was in violation of court orders. However, action has not been taken against Sattar.”
The minister is no stranger to controversy. He was recently accused of making derogatory remarks against NCP MP Supriya Sule and of asking a district collector if he wanted to have a “drink” in the morning when the latter refused tea at a meeting. Sattar is also accused of forcing agriculture department officers to sell tickets to a farm fair that he organises in his constituency, Sillod, in Aurangabad district. The villagers had free entry, but the officers were told to sell tickets priced at 15,000, 10,000 and 15,000 to seed, fertiliser and agri-equipment suppliers. The target, according to the opposition, was to raise 115 crore.
On December 28, Sattar said that the land was allotted as per the rules and denied any wrongdoing. However, shaken by the opposition's protests, Fadnavis said that the government would examine the High Court order and take strict action.
It is unlikely that Shinde, under a cloud himself, would ask Sattar to resign. In all probability, the land allotment would be cancelled. But, it remains to be seen what action will be taken against a minister whose brazenness has become his signature style of functioning.


What is Broadband radar?
The Navico Broadband Radar uses FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar technology.
How is FMCW radar different?
Firstly it is solid state – i.e. the transmitter is a semiconductor device, not based on magnetron technology. Secondly, it transmits a 1ms long signal of increasing frequency, rather than a short duration pulse. Thirdly, it measures the distance to a target not by timing the returned echoes, but by measuring the difference between the current transmitted frequency and echoed frequency. Hence FMCW – Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave. The building up of the image over 360 degrees and the processing of the radar data is the same as for a magnetron radar.
How does FMCW radar work?
FMCW = Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave
The scanner transmits a ‘rising tone’ (Tx wave) with linearly increasing frequency. The wave propagates out from the transmitter retaining the frequency it had when it was transmitted. If it refl ects off an object, it will return to the receiver, still at the frequency it had when originally transmitted. Meanwhile, the transmitter continues to output an increasing frequency.
The difference between both the currently transmitted and received frequencies, coupled with the known rate of frequency increase, allows a time of fl ight to be calculated, from which dis-tance is calculated.
- Additional benefits of FMCW radar are:
- Low energy emissions. 1/5th of a mobile phone
- Safe operation in anchorages and marinas
- Instant power up. No warm up required
- Short range performance
- Broadband radar can see within a few meters of the boat, compared to pulse radars, which can not see closer than 30 meters
- Higher resolution clearly separates individual vessels and objects
- Up to five times better sea and rain clutter performance
- Low power
- Suitable for small boats and yachts
- Easier installation with lighter cabling and smaller connectors
- Great for yachts on ocean passage
- Instant power-up
- Conventional radars take 2-3 minutes to warm up the magnetron: Safety – 2 minutes is a long time if you are concerned about
- Convenience – switch it on and use it.
- Easy to use
- No constant adjusting required to obtain optimum performance
- No re-tuning between ranges. Means fast range change at all ranges

Radio host Hugh Hewitt makes the case that the GOP is "suicidal." In a piece with the headline, "The Tone-Deaf, Insulated, Suicidal D.C. GOP," Hewitt writes:
Dave Camp is by all accounts a wonderful guy. But he has orchestrated another pratfall for the Beltway GOP, another display of loser-thinking, elite favor-currying, and desperately bad politics eight months before crucial elections. And he has done so when even party leaders have said his grand plan has zero chance of succeeding. No one is even sure what is in the proposal because Representative Camp is attempting to bend public opinion by talking about what is in it before we get to see what it is in it, just like Obamacare.
This has become a habit of the D.C. GOP. Again and again some sect of the D.C. GOP develops a sweeping policy proposal –in secret– unveils it to great expectations and the nods of Beltway elites, and then are shocked to find their base voters are adamantly opposed. Again and again the chief sponsors of legislation refuse to listen to anyone not already inside their circles, and every time big Beltway interests distort the desires of party regulars. Again and again, shocked D.C. elites who were expecting acclaim get hit with a tidal wave of disdain.
Every time the chief sponsors refuse to talk to the base via talk radio, key cable shows, or social media. Every time they refuse to answer tough questions and engage the base in conversations before they unveil the New Coke. And every time they pull a dead rabbit out of their hats and are shocked when talk radio and cable news audiences are appalled and angry and erupt on Twitter or other forums.
This session of Congress this sequence has already happened with immigration reform and with the repeal of the COLA for career military. Now it will happen again with Dave Camp’s “tax reform” proposal, which of course will slash deductions held dear by base GOP voters in “exchange” for cuts in the corporate rate, capital gains and dividends rates. Such cuts matter to the wealthiest of Americans and to large business interests. They matter little if at all to homeowners, donors to churches, para-church organizations and schools, residents of high tax states, and the rising upper class –those with large salaries but few assets– get hammered under Camp’s third bracket, which he attempts to deny exists by labeling it a “surcharge” and not a bracket, thus combining deceitful packaging with a new and sure-to-be-abused avenue for future tax-hikers.
Whole thing here.

North Dakota senator John Hoeven, one of the co-writers of the supposedly tougher border enforcement amendment to the Gang of Eight immigration reform bill, appeared Wednesday night on radio host Hugh Hewitt's nationally syndicated show. Once Hewitt began questioning Hoeven on the details of the border fence provisions of his amendment, the Republican senator had a tough time responding:
Some of the best sources of information on the war are from the people actually fighting it--and their blogs.11:00 PM, Mar 11, 2004 • By HUGH HEWITT
AS THE WAR enters a phase where most of the fighting is far removed from the networks' cameras, it gets harder and harder to find reliable news on the conflict's many fronts.
Unless you read the milblogs, that is. "Milblogs" is short for "military blogs"--online journals run by active duty military or reservists who have returned to civilian life for the time being. These first person accounts of the world and the nation through the eyes of front-line troops are changing the nature not just of the blogosphere but of American reporting.
Looking at the divide between silly America and serious America.11:00 PM, Mar 3, 2004 • By HUGH HEWITT
JOHN EDWARDS had one thing right: There are two Americas. But he botched the description of the line dividing these Americas--not surprising given that, after all these months and all that trial lawyer cash, he managed only to win the Democratic primary in South Carolina, which is like a Republican winning only the GOP primary in Washington, D.C.
The dividing line between Americans runs between those who are serious about the world and the nation and those who are silly on these subjects.
Is the emerging conventional wisdom on the 2004 election bunk? Will Kerry's Vietnam radicalization matter?11:00 PM, Feb 25, 2004 • By HUGH HEWITT
THERE ARE A COUPLE of key pieces of conventional wisdom floating downstream from Washington these days. The first is that a Bush-Kerry race will be very, very close. Bush-Gore close.
The second is that Senator Kerry's anti-war radicalism following his return from service in Vietnam shouldn't--and won't--be an issue in November.
You can believe one of these views, but you cannot hold on to both. If the election really will be a replay of 2000, then every issue that moves even handfuls of voters matters a great deal.

WITH JOHN KERRY far ahead of the pack and almost certainly the nominee, the digging into his record has begun. Kerry hasn't made it difficult to unearth troubling stances when it comes to his positions on national security matters.

"A VOTE for the Liberals is a vote for the Boers!"
That's about as tough as a campaign slogan can get. It was the rallying cry of the Lord Salisbury-Joe Chamberlain forces in Great Britain's Khaki election of 1900. The war with the Boers had begun to go well after shocking, initial defeats, and the Tory-Liberal Unionist alliance called for an election and made it a referendum on the conduct of the conflict. In "Dreadnought," Robert Massie provides a sense of the campaign's tenor:

NANCY PELOSI was upset after the federal appeals court upheld the new congressional districting map for the Lone Star State Tuesday: "This is just the latest attempt by President Bush, Tom Delay, and other Republicans to dismantle the Voting Rights Act.

The conventional wisdom is that Howard Dean is going to pivot to the center, but his best chance may be a lurch to the left.11:00 PM, Dec 30, 2003 • By HUGH HEWITT
HOWARD DEAN has survived a bad month. Saddam Hussein was captured. The Democratic party appears to understand that Dean isn't electable. Senators John Kerry and Joe Lieberman and Congressman Richard Gephardt all have warned that Dean means certain electoral doom. They aren't exaggerating. Even the Washington Post has filed its objections to his candidacy. Dean is clearly out of the mainstream.
The online world of the Dean campaign has convinced itself that there's something big going on. Are they right?11:00 PM, Dec 17, 2003 • By HUGH HEWITT
HOWARD DEAN may have jumped the shark with his declaration that "the capture of Saddam has not made America safer," but don't tell that to the online world that the Dean campaign has built for itself.

THE WORLD is full of interesting theories.
There's the theory that FDR was warned of the attack on Pearl Harbor, but allowed it to happen in order to enrage America and bring us fully into World War II.
There's the theory that LBJ had JFK knocked off on the orders of Texas oilmen.
There's the Raelians' theory that ancient space travelers planted people on Earth; and there are the very interesting theories contained in "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" along with the theory that the Bilderberger Group is secretly running the world.

HOWARD DEAN wants Osama bin Laden to get 30 years to life. No hanging by the neck until dead. No firing squad. Not even a lethal injection for being the mastermind behind the deaths of more than 3,000 Americans.
That's the upshot of Dean's exchange with Chris Matthews last night, an exchange ignored--and in one case glossed over--by a Dean-friendly press.
MATTHEWS: Who should try Osama bin Laden if we catch him? We or the World Court?
DEAN: I don't think it makes a lot of difference. I'm happy . . .

SOME BOOKS should be read in tandem. One pair for parallel reading: William Manchester's second volume in his life of Churchill, "Alone," and Rich Lowry's fine new effort: "Legacy: Paying the Price for the Clinton Years."
Manchester's book chronicles the wilderness years of the greatest man of the 20th century, and it is thus obliged to follow the doings of the not-so-great men who held power in Britain through most of the '30s, including Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain.

However, next year will probably be another story.

Many people are curious about the free slot machines that many casinos have available to play. Some gamers are put off by the idea of playing a machine for which they must pay money, but it’s necessary to know that most casinos offer you free slot games as well as paying games. This means you don’t need to spend any money whatsoever to perform with. You may find a variety of free slot machines at most casinos.
Some casinos require that you register as a participant before you can use their free slots, whether you are just looking to play with their free slot games or any other kind of game. Other websites, such as our totally free slot game review website, will allow you to play several games instantly right from the website without needing to enroll. Most casinos don’t offer free slots for promotional purposes, since it isn’t part of their business model. However, some casinos do offer”promo codes” so that players can download them onto their computer and use them to play. Regardless of what kind of casino you’re playing at, the majority of them offer free slot games as a means to entice people to spend more cash at the casino.
There are two varieties of free slot games: real money bonus and games slots. Actual cash slots are where you actually win money prize money for playing. Bonuses on the other hand would be added prizes which you get for playingwith. These may be in the form of gift certificates, electronic entries into sweepstakes, or any other prizes you may get by playing slots. The two kinds of bonuses are found on casino websites, although bonuses which you could get from online casinos may not be available in land-based casinos.
If you would like to play free slot games, then you should search for the casino site where they provide both kinds of bonus. Some casinos will only have one type of bonus, but others will possess real money slots and bonus slots. Start looking for a casino website which offers”first time free” bonus promotions. This means that after you perform a certain amount of free spins onto your machine, you will be given a welcome bonus worth X dollars or more. If you would like to continue playing for free, then you have to continue playing all of the way up to the agreed upon time period.
Once you discover the casino with the best free slots, then you should always ask about the terms and conditions that come with it. You should also search for a”no pop-up adverts” announcement, which prevents other players from seeing what is on your own device. It’s also good practice to read the terms and conditions very carefully prior to making any bets. If there’s vulkan vegas online ever a time when you are feeling unsure of something, you should consult your casino’s customer service number. Most of the time, client support numbers can be found on the front of the casino’s website. In case you have any questions, then it is almost always best to contact them before placing your bets.
When you play free slots online, you have to be certain you read the directions. You should not enter any specific machine believing that you understand what it’s going to do. The principles of this game have been written clearly on the machines. If you do not adhere to these instructions entirely, then you might wind up paying much more cash in the long run. Playing the game in this manner can really be quite a frustrating experience, especially if you don’t use common sense and don’t follow basic directions.
Should you just happen to be among those countless folks using mobile devices, then you should definitely have a look at free casino games online which are available on mobile devices. The cellular slots which you can play on your mobile devices are very simple to use and you do not have to download any software on your devices. All you have to do is install the free casino games online that you enjoy on your mobile devices.
Scatter is just another example of one of the internet slot games that you could play at no cost. This is a game where all you need to do is select the vulkanvegas number of coins that you want to scatter. In order to get as many bonus coins as you can, you will have to complete a range of matches on your own way. After winning in the scatter game, you can then collect the bonus coins.

Antipsychotic drug Abilify®
Aripiprazole, also known by its brand name Abilify® is an atypical antipsychotic drug. Abilify® can treat psychotic conditions like depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Tourette syndrome and others. It can also be prescribed to treat irritability associated with autism.
Aripiprazole was developed by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in Japan. In the United States, Otsuka America markets Abilify® jointly with Bristol-Myers Squibb. According to IMS Health, sales of Abilify® were more than $9 billion during 2014.
Schizophrenia is a relatively rare condition, and numbers of prescriptions for Abilify® were not significant for manufacturers. Otsuka and Bristol-Myers applied for FDA approval to use Abilify® for more conditions. Once the FDA approved other uses of Abilify®, the drug became a profitable resource for manufacturers.
In combination with other drugs, Abilify® is marketed today as an atypical antipsychotic drug for treating major depressions, bipolar disorder, and irritability associated with autism.
Abilify® is a registered trademark of Bristol-Myers Squibb and Otsuka America Pharmaceutical

Post-traumatic growth, the little-known upside of reporting on trauma
Thursday 4 January 2018
I’ve been asked if I hate the fact I developed PTSD and moral injury. Not for a moment.
Firstly, I was honoured to work with many wonderful colleagues in countries such as Iraq. Secondly, the experience of PTSD/moral injury, I believe, is making me a better human being. I am building deeper relationships with my family. I want to lead a more meaningful life. My mental health and wellbeing role at Reuters is already rewarding. What I’m experiencing is post-traumatic growth. It can apply to anyone who has suffered trauma.
The term post-traumatic growth was coined in the mid-1990s by Richard G. Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun, both from the University of North Carolina in Charlotte.
They note the long tradition of finding meaning in life from suffering.
Think of an extreme example like Viktor Frankl, an Austrian Jew starting to make his name in psychiatry when the Nazis ordered him to leave his home in 1942. Frankl survived three years in concentration camps, including Auschwitz. He wrote his acclaimed book, Man’s Search For Meaning, in nine days not long after the end of World War Two. Frankl said a person cannot control what happens in their life but can control how they feel and respond. In other words, we give our suffering meaning by the way we respond.
In their research and clinical work, Tedeschi and Calhoun have observed changes in people arising from traumatic experiences that include better relationships, new possibilities for one's life, a greater appreciation for life, a greater sense of personal strength and spiritual development.
The only research on post-traumatic growth and journalists has been done by Cait McMahon, managing director of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, Asia-Pacific region. McMahon is also a registered psychologist who has studied trauma and journalism for 30 years.
In a thesis submitted recently to the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, McMahon concluded there was initial evidence to support her hypothesis that post-traumatic growth is present among Australian journalists in general who have covered traumatic stories.
Post-traumatic growth was more likely to be experienced by camera operators, war reporters and freelancers, as well as those who undertook trauma/stress management education versus those who did not, she added.
“Post-trauma experiences are complex and multifaceted, and may include rich life changes for the better. Qualitative changes are related to personal trauma management strategies, including peer and management support and opportunities to reflect, to name a few,” McMahon wrote in the thesis: An Investigation into Post-Traumatic Stress and Post-Traumatic Growth among Trauma Reporting Australian Journalists.
I would do it all again, the good and the bad. I could not imagine myself without the richness of what I have seen.
McMahon said one reason she did the research was to ensure the approach to trauma management in the media didn’t just deal with negative outcomes such as PTSD. She surveyed 115 Australian journalists among these categories: print, broadcast, camera operators and editors/others. She did in-depth interviews with 13 journalists.
Research shows that 80-100 per cent of reporters have been exposed to potentially traumatic events in their professional capacity. Research also shows that while they have a variety of negative post-trauma outcomes the majority do not develop serious problems such as PTSD.
Reporters with a strong sense of their professional role who build coping mechanisms and social ties, who prepare themselves for trauma reporting with physical and psychological safety training and who take time to reflect after an assignment have enhanced resilience. Positive outcomes include increased empathy, closer relationships with loved ones and an enhanced ability to be a journalist.
Conversely, studies show that low perceived social support and low perceived acknowledgement by editors and peers contribute to higher rates of negative post-trauma reactions.
Camaraderie could partly explain the higher levels of post-traumatic growth among camera operators, war reporters and freelancers because that closeness fosters supportive disclosure of traumatic experiences, McMahon noted. That camaraderie also exists among photojournalists. War exposure has been associated with post-traumatic growth in previous research in terms of increased solidarity with colleagues, sharing experiences and finding deeper meaning in the world.
Despite discovering that camera operators reported significantly higher rates of trauma severity than the other reporters, McMahon found there were no significant differences on negative post-trauma outcomes. Research by psychiatrist Anthony Feinstein on war journalists showed symptoms were more frequent and intense in stills photographers, followed by camera operators, then print reporters and producers.
McMahon posits that her findings could be linked to the possibility that the camera lens is a protective device, a distancing mechanism, a barrier between operator and subject.
That camera operators scored significantly higher on the post-traumatic growth domain of personal strength - feeling better able to handle difficulties, feeling more self-reliant and being more accepting of things - was harder to explain, McMahon added. She pointed to research which proposed that having a camera in-hand gives the operator a sense of control that other reporters might not feel during trauma exposure.
It’s well established that writing about trauma helps to process the experience and manage symptoms. Less is known about how photography and camera work can manage trauma reactions that lead to positive outcomes, McMahon said. It may be that these journalists process visual information in different ways to other news gatherers, she added.
In her conclusion, McMahon said recognising the potential for constructive changes from covering trauma was important to help journalists and media organisations work towards an understanding of the stresses of their work. I agree. While I would never encourage any journalist to intentionally put themselves in a situation just to reap such a potential benefit, I think it’s important for our staff to make time to reflect on their experiences and how they may have been changed for the better.
As one of the journalists McMahon interviewed said: “I would do it all again, the good and the bad. I could not imagine myself without the richness of what I have seen.”

Reciprocity launching this week
Published: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 at 5:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 at 6:15 p.m.
What started out as a school project for Gainesville native Samuel McPherson is now coming to life.
Reciprocity & Co., a for-profit organization based on a crowd-funding platform, will be launching this week at Reciprocityandco.com.
The site will sell environmentally friendly totes and backpacks to fund projects in the areas of health, hunger, children, education and human rights.
“Reciprocity,” McPherson said. “That means give and take. We're trying to focus our impact more on sustainable, long-term stuff as opposed to handouts. We want to help on an infrastructure level.”
The company sells backpacks for $25, with $5 going toward one project in each category of the buyer's choice. For example, under the hunger category, The Nepali Youth Foundation helps malnourished children and their mothers.
McPherson, who was born and raised in Gainesville, left to study entrepreneurship at Pace University in New York City. He returned to receive his Master of Science in entrepreneurship at the University of Florida.
He said the idea for Reciprocity came to him when he was an undergrad. Every time he had to write a business plan for a class project, it was Reciprocity.
While at UF, McPherson entered the Net Impact Walmart Better Living Business Plan Challenge, a competition in which students pitch a business plan to experts and compete for a grand prize. He came in first for the UF chapter and got the chance to present his idea in Atlanta at the regional competition in Atlanta.
After receiving his master's at UF, McPherson moved to Washington, D.C., to find a job. While there he became affiliated with the organization GlobalGiving, which provides a fundraising website for social entrepreneurs and nonprofits. McPherson worked with GlobalGiving to pick the projects that will be funded through his website.
McPherson has now returned to Gainesville to work on Reciprocity full time. “The entrepreneurship scene here in Gainesville has been incredible lately,” he said. “It was time to come back.”
His goal for now is to get at least one of the projects up and running. “Small, attainable goals is what I try to set,” McPherson said. “I just want to get one successfully funded cause, write them a check and be able to have donated to something meaningful.”

AP will get funds on time because MHRD Secretary is from here: HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal
A total of 103 B.Tech. Students and One M.S. degree Student graduated in the first Convocation of Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh
Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' said that the government wants to increase expenditure on education and added that Andhra Pradesh will definitely have no problem in this regard. Why? Because *smirk smirk* the MHRD Secretary is from thereabouts. "Our Education Secretary is from Andhra Pradesh so this state should not have any problem getting its funds on time," said Pokhriyal. The minister was addressing the first convocation of the institute where 104 students —103 BTech, one MS — were awarded their degrees.
Higher Education R Subrahmayam and Dr Audimulapu Suresh, the Education Minister of Andhra Pradesh were also present along with the Director of the campus Dr KN Satyanarayanan at the convocation. Subrahmanyam, a 1985-batch IAS officer from Andhra Pradesh cadre, was appointed as the new Secretary, Higher Education in the Ministry of Human Resource Development last year.
The minister added that he is proud the way India is developing — on one hand, "Sanskrit is being declared the most technological language," said the minister. "On the other hand, we are developing our technological and research temper."
Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' inaugurated Indian Institute of Technology's Tirupati Stage 1A (Transit) Campus on August 13 and also presided over the convocation ceremony of the first batch of students. IIT Tirupati is mentored by IIT Madras and is, reportedly, the first IIT to move into its permanent campus within four years of establishment.
IIT Tirupati falls under the third phase of IITs, announced in 2014 and was one of the first to have its foundation stone laid as early as March 2015. It started functioning with the support and mentorship of IIT Madras from the academic year of 2015-16. The academic programme kick-started in August 2015 BTech programme in the fields of Civil, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. The faculty says that the curriculum has emphasis on both theoretical knowledge and practice-oriented laboratories. Courses are planned to nurture innovation, creativity, quality, teamwork, communication skills, ethics and societal interaction.
Presently, IIT Tirupati is operating from the temporary campus on Tirupati – Renigunta Road and also the transit campus at Yerpedu. Two boys hostels are now operational for first-year students and the third hostel is almost ready for occupation by senior students. A total of 120 and 60 seater classrooms are also ready for conducting classes for the first-year students. With these arrangements, transit campus operations have started in August 2018.
The HRD minister had earlier said that the permanent campus of IIT Tirupati (phase-A) would be completed by March 2020. Replying to Vijayasai Reddy during Question Hour of the Parliament, Pokhriyal had said that IIT Tirupati was allocated Rs 1,074 crore, of which Rs 525 crore was sanctioned and Rs 478.36 crore was released.

@Lizzy als ik vragen mag:
Nou ben ik wel benieuwd geworden naar de nadelen van (een lage dosis) THC voor honden, omdat ik wel de voordelen ken...
Doel je dan op leverenzyminductie of ook nog op andere punten?
Ik weet er niet zoveel van maar ene Dr. Robert Silver heeft zich gespecialiseerd in CBD en CBD + THC olie bij honden en hij schreef dit:
Medical Marijuana Safe to Give to My Pet?
Studies conducted in the 1970’s found that dogs have the highest number of THC receptors in their brains, more than any other animal studied, including humans. A lot of these receptors are located in the area of the brain that governs coordination. A dog who gets too much THC will have an initial and brief period of excitement, then act very disoriented, may drool, may urinate on itself and will stand in one place rocking back and forth unable to move forward. They may fall over onto their side. We call this neurologic reaction: “Static Ataxia”, and it is unique to the dog. For this reason, dogs are very sensitive to cannabis products that contain THC, and pet guardians need to be very careful about giving THC to their dogs, so as to not create this adverse neurologic reaction.
There have been two deaths recorded in Colorado from the use of “edibles”, which are treats containing THC that can be purchased at dispensaries or cooked up in your kitchen. These two fatalities also involved very large amounts of chocolate in the brownies and cookies, and chocolate is much more toxic than THC to dogs. When used together, they create a co-toxicity than can be fatal with high doses of both.
Very low THC cannabis, also known as “hemp” does not contain enough THC to create these adverse reactions. They are a better bet for pets, due to their increased safety. Some experts believe that THC is important to give along with CBD to address certain difficult to treat conditions such as cancer. With further research we will learn more about whether this is true. Hemp-based CBD extracts have been anecdotally reported to help dogs with epilepsy. For treating cancer, it is still unknown whether CBDs can work effectively as a single therapy without THC or other anti-cancer drugs. The research to
objectively determine this is pending. Certainly the use of CBDs for the side-effects of cancer therapies and the improvement of quality of life in these patients has more evidence to support those applications.
Effective Dosages for THC and CBD in Pets
Scientists have not worked out effective dosages for the wide range of clinical applications that have been suggested for cannabis products. Many pet guardians, though, have given their pets cannabis products and have reported success. Some pet owners say the cannabis products didn’t work for them. When the dosages that have been reported to be used by pet parents with existing commercially-available products are compared to dosages published in the scientific literature, the effective dosages
used by these pet parents were much lower.
Dosing by THC Content
My suggestion for dosing, if the product contains THC and you know the concentration, is to start with a dose of 0.1-0.25 mg/kg THC orally, once to twice daily. This dose should allow you to avoid the consequences of static ataxia from the THC. Be warned though, the occasional pet may have what we call an idiosyncratic reaction to that low dose of THC, and still develop Static Ataxia. Once your dog has had about 5 administrations of this small amount over 1-2 weeks, it should develop some degree of
tolerance to the adverse neurologic effects of the THC, and you should be able to increase the dosage gradually to gain the clinical effect you are looking for.

Interview met Rober Silver:
Robert is dus niet tegen het gebruik van THC. Bij ernstige pijn en kanker kan het zeker gebruikt worden.
