48 Hours in Holland's Unsung Village Utrecht
It's easy to fall in love with a city like Utrecht. Beautiful canals, busy streets with cyclist in every direction, and colorful buildings that make a rainy day look cheery. Living so close to the Dutch border has been such a treat. We have loved learning about this tiny country that has made such an impact on the world with all of its culture, art, and history.
Sadly, we just had a short stay in Utrecht, but is was filled to the brim with things to do and lots of eating (that's always at the top of my list when visiting a new place). Today, wanted to share with you all the best way to spend a short visit in this lovely, unsung village outside of Amsterdam. It's really worth the visit!
Star Lodge Hotel
Since we took a road trip to Utrecht, we wanted to be in a place we could easily park our car, was at a good price point, and close to the city centre. No time could be wasted! We found just that at Star Lodge Hotel. It was cozy, had a lovely atmosphere, and was super clean. If you're interested in this space you can read my post about it here.
2. STROLL THROUGH THE CITY
You could spend the whole day simply strolling through the city observing the architecture, canals, and enjoying the scenery. Although Utrecht is definitely a bicycle city, it's extremely walkable. On Saturday the town is filled with Farmer's Markets and even a Flower Market that is absolutely worth a visit (I was in heaven looking at the bouquets wishing I could manage to take one home). If you're within the city center you'll also be able to hear the 500 year old bells from Dom Tower. The musician that performs on them recently did a version of the Star Wars theme song!
We spent the first part of our day enjoying this city by walking and it was one of my favorite parts of our day.
3. Tour of Dom Tower
I must admit, my calves were a little sore the next day after climbing the 465 steps to the top of this beauty. However, it was more than worth it. We took the afternoon tour of the Dom Tower and it totally surpassed my expectations. The Dom Tower is the highest church tower in all of the Netherlands and it provides such a spectacular view of the city. Again, coming from the USA, a lot of things are different here in Europe. Like the fact that I can touch a 500 year old bell that is still functioning and being used daily! Seriously, this blows my mind. Also, the tour guide was incredibly entertaining. He took the time to do the tour in both Dutch and English, but managed to keep it under an hour long. We learned a lot during our time at the Dom Tower Tour and I would highly recommend that this is at the top of your list when visiting Utrecht.
4. Where to Eat
Korte Minrebroederstraat 11
3512 GG UtrechT
Tegenover het oude gemeentehuis
+31 (0) 30 2322822
We had a quick bite to eat and a few beers at this casual and cozy spot. Something about the store front design and warm lighting drew us in and we didn't regret it. When you walk into Family Stegeman it feels like you've gone some decades back to a meat shop. You'll find handmade sausages, beautiful copper on the wall, and board games in the front; should you fancy playing a game or two while sipping on a Dutch beer. It was the perfect spot to take a break from walking around the city and to relax for a bit. The service was nice and the food was even better.
Bagels & beans
3542 DL Utrecht
Tel: 030 - 2409090
After our hike up the Dom Tower we were pretty starving. Honestly, I would have eaten almost anything, but luckily we saw Bagels & Beans. It looked so lively and busy, so I thought the locals must approve. And I was right! They have a large menu of cold and hot bagels ranging from sweet to savory. I asked the waitress which was her favorite, and she said it was a tie between the goat cheese bacon and chicken pesto. I opted for the goat cheese bacon, because I really can't say "no" to cheese, ever. It was the perfect choice and it paired nicely with their fruit smoothie. This was such a delicious lunch spot!
5. Entertainment & Arts
"It’s an age-old tale, tried and true. Even the Romans knew that Utrecht was unique. And so, around 50 A.D., they made their camp at the present location of Domplein. Ever since, this city in the heart of the Netherlands has always been full of activity. Trajectum Lumen pays homage to the rich history of Utrecht, with an eye-catching light art trail, which is free for all to enjoy 365 nights a year."
I had read a bit about Trajectum Lumen before our arrival and knew I wanted to see it in person, but I must admit, pictures really don't do this exhibit justice. Seeing it in person and watching the lights change was so magical. When we walked down to this location, a mother and daughter were skipping through the lights giggling at each other. It was the sweetest. These light exhibits are placed strategically in the historical center of the city and every Saturday you can take a guided tour to see them all. Highly recommend! Even if you just take a quick stroll through a few of the locations.
Dinner in Motion
The Wall – A2, Exit 7
Hertogswetering 183, P1
3543 AS Utrecht
Definitely the most unique and entertaining dining experience I have ever had. Honestly, didn't know what to expect when I had read about Dinner in Motion and watched their trailer, but I think it was best going in with an open mind. The food is absolutely delicious, the animation was entertaining and engaging, and sitting at a table full of new people was such a fun experience. They really went above and beyond with Dinner in Motion and hit the ball out of the park. If you're looking to enjoy a lovely, 6-course meal and have an experience that touches all senses, than I highly recommend trying this out. I will admit, it's a bit pricey, but it's a once in a lifetime experience!
All in all, we had a lovely time in Utrecht and will most certainly be back. I am already day dreaming of having a cappuccino sitting near one of the canals and listening to the bells chime. Until next, you beautiful village.

So the question remains, can the KD be packaged into a pill? At this stage, given our state of knowledge, the likely answer is NO. Then, could we take a polypharmacy approach and develop a number of pills, each with a distinct mechanistic target? Such a strategy would not be too different than what is practiced by adults – and especially, the elderly – who are by both necessity and choice on multi-drug regimens and/or multi-nutritional supplements, again with the goal of achieving health and warding off the ravages of aging and disease. There is likely no “magic bullet” that completely mirrors the anticonvulsant (and potential neuroprotective) effects of the KD; the same could be said for the treatment of the epilepsies – a group of related conditions with widely divergent etiologies, and hence a multiplicity of underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Nevertheless, without dissecting the component pieces of the complex metabolic puzzle posed by the KD, we would again be left with only empiric observations, and to wonder curiously how a high-fat diet can exert such profound clinical effects.

Furthermore, if the KD increases GABA levels in the brain, then such an effect is approximated by vigabatrin, an irreversible inhibitor of the degradative enzyme GABA-transaminase, as well as by tiagabine, a GABA re-uptake blocker that interferes with presnaptic GABA transporters (White et al., 2007). Yet, the anticonvulsant profile of the KD is distinct from that of vigabatrin and tiagabine (Hartman et al., 2007). The general approach of deriving another pill that enhances brain GABA levels may not be relevant or viable, since many seizure types seem to be exacerbated by agents that contribute to enhanced tonic inhibition, and extrasynaptic GABA receptors that mediate tonic inhibition are more sensitive to elevated ambient GABA concentrations (Sazgar & Bourgeois, 2005). Indeed, increased GABAergic inhibition in the cortex appears to underlie the mechanism of synchronization and seizure generation in two mouse models of autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (Klassen et al, 2006)

One highly studied mechanism implicated in the clinical benefits of calorie restriction involves sirtuins, a large and diverse family of enzymes that regulate gene expression. The first sirtuin, silent information regulator 2 (Sir2), was described in yeast. Sir2 is a class III histone deacetylase that uses the cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in a catalytic reaction that releases nicotinamide (a feedback inhibitor) and O-acetyl ADP ribose (Imai et al. 2000; Marmorstein 2004; Sauve et al. 2006). It has been reported that increased Sir2 activity lengthens life span, and that calorie restriction increases Sir2 levels and does not promote longevity in SIR2 knockouts (Kaeberlein et al. 1999; Lin et al. 2000, 2004; Tissenbaum and Guarente 2001; Rogina and Helfand 2004). In mammals, calorie restriction increases the expression of Sirt1, the Sir2 mammalian ortholog, in various tissues, including brain. Resveratrol, a natural Sirt1 activator found in red wine, lengthens the life span of mice and prevents the age-related deterioration of their motor function (Cohen et al. 2004; Baur et al. 2006). Additionally, resveratrol stimulates AMP kinase activity in neurons (Dasgupta & Milbrandt, 2007), and more importantly, protects against kainic acid-induced seizures and oxidative stress in rats (Gupta et al., 2002).

The scientific rationale for elucidating mechanisms of disease pathogenesis or of therapeutic interventions has been traditionally based upon the lofty goal of discovering novel treatments, ones that would be more efficacious than existing options and also be devoid of side-effects altogether. Moreover, in epilepsy research, disease prevention or modification has become the “holy grail”, such that we are no longer complacent with symptomatic treatment and increasing attention is being given to understanding the processes of anti-epileptogenesis itself. Researchers in the field of the ketogenic diet (KD) have also embraced these tenets and recently embarked on that all-too-familiar Quixotic journey, with the ultimate aim of reducing the “difficult” KD regimen to a simple pill. If achieved, this result would represent an ironic recapitulation of the early history of the KD in the United States. Although the KD experienced an initial surge of interest following its introduction in the early 1920’s, it was relegated to near obscurity by the emergence of a familiar drug known as phenytoin. Henceforth, until the mid 1990’s, clinicians – for obvious practical reasons – found it simpler to prescribe a pill rather than an exacting diet.

China's food chain lures private equity
Updated: 2011-08-29 11:22
(Wall Street Journal)
BEIJING - In early 2009, when Carlyle Group LP's China team proposed that the private-equity firm invest in a Chinese infant-formula producer, the initial response was disbelief, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The idea seemed crazy to members of Carlyle's Washington investment committee, according to one account of the meeting. Memories were still fresh of the food-poisoning scandal in China in which tainted milk killed at least six infants and sickened 300,000 others.
The Carlyle team eventually convinced the committee to buy a 17.3% stake for an undisclosed sum in Guangdong Yashili Group Co Ltd Its winning pitch: growing demand from China's middle class for safe and reliable food.
Global private-equity firms, including Carlyle, Blackstone Group LP and 3i Group PLC, are increasingly looking to China's food chain - from dining and food retailing to fishing - as the Chinese government seeks to consolidate the industry and improve food safety. Foreign private-equity groups invested $2.6 billion last year in the country's food and agriculture sectors, more than triple from a year earlier, according to Zero2IPO Group, a Beijing-based research firm that tracks China's private-equity industry.
Soon after Carlyle acquired its stake in Guangdong Yashili in September 2009, the firm installed a technology director and a chief quality adviser.
China's dairy industry was reeling from the disclosure that milk produced by the state-owned Sanlu Group contained melamine, an industrial chemical that made the milk appear to have a higher protein level. Guangdong Yashili wasn't involved in poisoning milk, but its supply chain was compromised. The company, along with 20 other milk producers in China, failed a government test in 2008 to screen for tainted milk.
Carlyle executives helped organize tours for Yashili's managers to find new sources of raw milk powder in countries such as New Zealand and Australia. Late last year, shortly before Yashili's initial public offering, Carlyle created a quality and safety advisory committee headed by Robert Brackett, a former US Food and Drug Administration director.
"We have the know-how and resources to deliver some of the most qualified experts," said Patrick Siewert, a senior director at Carlyle who led the Yashili deal.
In October, Yashili raised HK$2.3 billion ($295 million) in a Hong Kong IPO. A Carlyle spokesman said the firm is "satisfied" with Yashili's performance and has "confidence" in its future.
The Chinese government has vowed to crack down on food-safety violations and has meted out severe punishment, including the death penalty. But state media frequently report new scandals involving the use of chemicals intended to enhance the growth or taste of food.
The fragmented structure of Chinese farming is partly to blame, analysts say. The sector has long been dominated by small, family-run businesses, making it hard for authorities to spot problems and enforce standards. There are 200 million farming households and 400,000 food-processing companies with fewer than 10 employees scattered around the country, according to Christopher Hickey, the FDA's China director.
Foreign investment could help Chinese farmers and food producers build up scale and tackle safety issues that have clouded made-in-China brands, executives at some Western private-equity firms say. "We are not passive investors who just invest and then do nothing and simply wait for payback," said Anna Cheung, co-head of 3i's China operations.
3i made its first investment in China's food sector in 2006, when it put $20 million in Little Sheep, a hot-pot restaurant chain. After the deal closed, 3i helped the company review its franchise network of 700 restaurants for food safety and other issues. Little Sheep discontinued franchise agreements with about 200 restaurants over shortcomings in food quality and operation controls.
3i brought in former executives from KFC Corp and Burger King to help run Little Sheep. "Even just one case of food poisoning could destroy the brand," Cheung said.
Little Sheep went public in Hong Kong in 2008, raising about $100 million. A year later, 3i sold its stake in the company to Yum! Brands Inc, reaping a return of more than 300% on its initial investment.
China's growing middle classes are demanding higher quality products and favoring the convenience of processed and packaged food. Organic foods—nearly non-existent in China a decade ago—are now in high demand. Sales of packaged organic food are expected to hit 543 million yuan ($85 million) by 2014, from about 170 million yuan in 2009, according to Euromonitor International, a market research firm in London.
In another recent deal, a consortium led by Blackstone invested $600 million in Dili Group Holdings Co Ltd, one of China's largest operators of wholesale vegetable markets. Blackstone, which put in $194 million for a 10% stake in Dili, sold it back to the company in the first quarter of this year, which gave the private-equity firm a 16.5% return on its investment, according to people familiar with the matter. The sale came amid Beijing's effort to control food prices to tamp down inflation, which has limited the profit potential of food producers and traders.
Despite the restrictions on Chinese food companies to raise prices, many analysts expect the pace of de

New ship-routing data trial may come soon for cruising sailors
by Sandman PR on 28 Nov 2011
In time, all new technology becomes cheaper and so trickles down to the individual user. New data from Tidetech, who already have excellent tide programs for cruising sailors, which enables ships to improve their routing efficiency, and is being trialed with a major cruise line company, is sure to become available to the cruising sailor before too long.
The data will allow captains and deck officers to route their vessels more efficiently. Sandman PR
The data will allow captains and deck officers to route their vessels more efficiently, saving time, fuel and money while reducing environmental impact.
The scientific data can be integrated with onboard navigation systems and provides an accurate feed of global ocean currents, sea surface temperatures and wave forecasts.
Tidetech’s managing director Penny Haire said the data could potentially save shipping companies and superyacht owners thousands of dollars in fuel.
'Ocean currents and trade winds have been relied upon for hundreds of years in trade shipping,' Ms Haire said.
'Previously data was based on estimates and historical information, providing an average ocean current estimate for a given month.
'Our oceanographic scientists evaluate data from multiple sources including satellites, government agencies and observation (among many others) to establish the exact location of constantly moving currents.
'The combination of applied oceanography and meteorology can result in large bunker cost savings and in turn will help ships meet their environmental obligations.'
Tidetech’s scientific team is made up of the world foremost oceanographic experts with over 60 years combined experience at the UK’s Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (now National Oceanography Centre). The team also includes navigators and specialists in sensor networks and data management.
'The combination of scientists and data developers means we can choose the best information available and adapt it to fit into onboard systems,' Ms Haire said.
'We’re currently running a live trial aboard several cruise liners and should have definitive results by the end of the year.'
Tidetech also supplies tactical oceanographic data to sailing competitors and is a technical supplier to the 34th America’s Cup and the 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race, but wait a couple of years and cruising sailors are sure to have some affordable extra help to make those tricky crossings.

Tuesday Morning, October 11, 2022 we left the T.O. Fuller State Park just outside of Memphis and drove 251 miles to the Sumner Crest Winery in Portland, Tennessee to boondock overnight using our Harvest Host membership.
Sumner Crest Winery opened its doors in 1997 and has been using the soil of Northern Tennessee since then to grow grapes that make up their wide selection of wines. They offer whites, reds, ports and fruit/dessert wines to their customers. They also have a cafe offering cold sandwiches, salads and cheeses, and an outdoor dining area that captures the feel of an open-air cafe in Italy. In addition, they have one of the largest gift shops I have seen in a winery during all my travels across the U.S.
We arrived late in the afternoon and were hungry, so we each purchased a chicken salad sandwich to enjoy with our wine-tasting choices. Cindy enjoys white wines so she tried their Pink Catawba (a refreshing semi-dry rose with subtle hints of grapefruit on the finish) and the Sumner Queen (A soft Vidal blend with fresh floral notes that “tickle your tongue”). I am more of a red wine person so I tried their New Deal Sweet Red (a sweet, tangy and refreshing red blend. They call it their spin on a sangria) and the Robertson King (a semi-sweet red wine bursting with concord flavor. And, of course, we sampled each other’s picks as well.
Surprisingly, Cindy really liked the New Deal Sweet Red and I did as well so we ended up purchasing two bottles of that red instead of one red and one white as we usually do. We should have bought more because as of this writing we have already finished off one bottle and part of the second.
We spent a quiet evening in their parking lot reading and sleeping the night away. There was another couple there as well in a Class A Motorhome who were also from Florida. The host had told us we could stay as late in the morning as we wanted to, but we wanted to be on the road no later than 10 am on the 12th to make our way to our next stop, the largest known caves in the world.
Thanks for following the Wandering Wetheringtons.

The case between Apple and Psystar may in fact finally be over. AppleInsider is reporting on a document filed with the California court which says that the two companies have entered into a settlement agreement. However, since AppleInsider doesn’t actually provide the document in question, and nothing shows up yet on dockets, it’s all a little bit unclear. Update: Here’s the filing. It does not cover the Florida case, but pretty much ends the California one. Round 1 a smashing victory for Apple, round 2 has Psystar starting heavily crippled.
AppleInsider is claiming that in response to Apple’s motion filed last week, Psystar filed a document in which it explains it has entered into a settlement agreement with Apple, which should end “all” sales of non-Apple labelled machines with Mac OS X installed. Sadly, AppleInsider makes no distinction between the California (Leopard) and Florida (Snow Leopard) cases, but their use of the world “all” may indicate that this settlement covers both.
Under terms of the agreement, Psystar will pay an unspecified amount in damages to Apple. In return, Apple would drop the bulk of its case against the small clone maker from Miami, Florida. More details are said to arrive today.
“Psystar has agreed on certain amounts to be awarded as statutory damages on Apple’s copyright claims in exchange for Apple’s agreement not to execute on these awards until all appeals in this matter have been concluded,” Psystar’s court filing reads, “Moreover, Apple has agreed to voluntarily dismiss all its trademark, trade-dress, and state-law claims. This partial settlement eliminates the need for a trial and reduces the issues before this Court to the scope of any permanent injunction on Apple’s copyright claims.”
Psystar does hope that the injunction will not cover its Rebel EFI product. “[Rebel EFI is a] product that has not been litigated in this case, that has not been the subject of discovery in this case, that is presently the subject of litigation in the Florida case, that is composed exclusively of Psystar software, that is not sold in conjunction with any hardware, and that is sold entirely apart from any copy of Mac OS X or any computer running Mac OS X,” Psystar claims.
This bit does mention the Florida case, which could mean that this agreement only covers the California case, leaving the door wide open to continue litigation in Florida. Like I said, without the actual document, we have to rely on whatever AppleInsider tells us – which is very little.
I would presume that Apple would not drop its charges if Psystar didn’t drop its Florida case. Then again, Florida case or no, this settlement does save Apple a substantial amount of time and money on going to court in California. The California case was all but resolved in a slam-dunk win for Apple not too long ago, with only a few minor issues still open for trial – scheduled for January 2010.
I’ll update the item as soon as we can see the actual documentation.

With news that Dell may look to go private, a list of investors could arrange a lump sum, so the transition would be smooth. Microsoft could be one of these investors, although we suspect that the company want a little more than Dell’s partnership once it goes private.
Analysts believe that Microsoft could be looking to invest in Dell a little more heavily after the first investment, and possibly acquire the company as their own private supply chain and manufacturer.
With Dell’s long stand in the manufacturing, shipping and supplying world, this would be great for Microsoft, who have just started making their own hardware. Already, many have complimented Microsoft’s hardware on the Surface, but for bigger projects, they may need Dell.
Dell recently said that they wanted to redesign the PC, to the size of a USB stick. This seemed almost impossible, with the size of some PC parts, but with the redesign of technology to cater for smaller mobiles, this dream may be a little closer then we expect.
Microsoft may see Dell’s vast manufacturing experience and new move to privatisation as something they need with their new hardware move. Microsoft also have a unique position, considering Dell’s main partner is Microsoft and Dell only ships Windows laptops.
Dell has hit turmoil, with poor PC sales and lacklustre performance. With design and flare seen as the two real winners right now, Dell may be all out of luck, with their plain and boring design. The hardware may be great inside, but Dell has never been one to show off.
Dell is valued at $25 billion, but with Microsoft’s unique placement as their only partner, they could get the company for a little less. We suspect if Microsoft are willing to invest in the companies move to private, they want to strategize this move with a possible buyout.

The product of this gene belongs to the Serine/Threonine protein kinase family, and to the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase subfamily. Calcium signaling is crucial for several aspects of plasticity at glutamatergic synapses. In mammalian cells the enzyme is composed of four different chains: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The product of this gene is a gamma chain. Six alternatively spliced variants that encode six different isoforms have been characterized to date. Additional alternative splice variants that encode different isoforms have been described, but their full-length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq

Operation Safe Driver Week set for July 10-16
Greenbelt, MD — Law enforcement officials will keep an extra-close eye out for commercial and passenger vehicle drivers who are distracted behind the wheel during the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s annual Operation Safe Driver Week, scheduled for July 10-16.
They’ll also be targeting speeding, following too closely, making improper lane changes, failing to use a seat belt and driving while impaired.
CVSA cites National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data showing that fatal traffic incidents increased 6.8% in 2020, while fatalities related to speeding climbed 17%. According to NHTSA, nearly 39,000 deaths occurred on the nation’s roads – the highest total since 2007.
During last year’s Operation Safe Driver Week, citations and warnings related to speeding were most common among both groups of drivers. CMV drivers were assessed 1,690 citations and 2,549 warnings, while 9,349 citations and 2,929 warnings were issued to passenger vehicle drivers.
“This safe driving initiative and campaign focuses specifically on drivers’ actions – whether it’s something a driver did, like speeding, or something they didn’t do, such as not paying attention to the driving task,” CVSA President John Broers said in a press release. “This focus on drivers’ behaviors is our effort to identify and educate drivers who are operating dangerously on our roadways, with the goal of preventing crashes.”

Cavaletto opponent sees himself as solution to Illinois tax woes
That Illinois lawmakers are talking tax increase so soon after enacting a state budget that carries a record-setting 32 percent income tax hike reaffirms what Brian Milleville has believed all along.
“This is further proof that Illinois has a spending problem and not a revenue problem,” Milleville told the West Central Reporter regarding a proposed gas tax increase. “At some point and time, all this runaway taxing has to end.”
Milleville sees himself as being part of the solution, recently announcing plans to face off against Rep. John Cavaletto (R-Salem) in the Republican primary in the 107th District in 2018.
So far, lawmakers haven’t said how much of an increase they plan to seek as part of Rep. Dan Brady's (R-Bloomington) plan to raise funds for capital projects across the state.
Regardless, Milleville sees it as too steep a price.
“All Springfield knows how to do is spend more of our money,” he said. “There’s never any prioritizing. All this new gas tax money they’re talking about will go right out the door as soon as it hits the coffers, just like all the tax money has.”
Besides tax reform, Milleville said his platform will also focus on the vocational training education program he helped launch in Effingham three years ago. Since 2014, the Construction Trade Education non-profit provides plumbing and electric training to approximately 20 local high students every year.
“At the end of that, they’re prequalified and have the training to apply for a job in the industry,” Milleville said. “There’s a definite need in our county for skilled labor, and if we don’t train our kids to do these jobs, we will find ourselves in a position of having no one capable of building the buildings that will make Illinois better.”
Milleville owns a business and years ago helped found the Effingham Tea Party. He has also been an Effingham precinct committeeman and served on the City Council as recently as 2015.
“I want what’s best for the people of my district,” he said. “I’m ready to work for that.”

NASCAR has launched an investigation after a noose was found in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace less than two weeks after the only full-time black driver in NASCAR’s elite Cup Series led the charge that resulted in the stock car racing series banning the Confederate flag at its tracks and facilities.
“Late this afternoon, NASCAR was made aware that a noose was found in the garage stall of the 43 team,” NASCAR said in a statement to ESPN. “We are angry and outraged, and cannot state strongly enough how seriously we take this heinous act. We have launched an immediate investigation, and will do everything we can to identify the person(s) responsible and eliminate them from the sport.”
According to the sports network, Wallace never saw the noose; it was first seen by a member of his team, who alerted NASCAR. The incident happened at Talladega, which was scheduled to host a race Sunday. It was postponed until Monday because of bad weather.
“Today’s despicable act of racism and hatred leaves me incredibly saddened and serves as a painful reminder of how much further we have to go as a society and ow persistent we must be in the fight against racism,” Wallace wrote on Twitter.
He spoke about the outpouring of support after his public statement that the confederate flags should “have no place” in the sport led to their ban.
“Over the last several weeks, I have been overwhelmed by the support from people across the NASCAR industry including other drivers and tea members in the garage,” he wrote. “Together, our sport has made a commitment to driving real chance and championing a community that is accepting and welcoming of everyone. Nothing is more important and we will not be deterred by the reprehensible actions of those who seek to spread hate.”
Despite today’s incident, Wallace vows to stay the course.
“As my mother told me today, ‘They are just trying to scare you,’” he wrote. “This will not break me, I will not give in nor will I back down. I will continue to proudly stand for what I believe in.”
The act was widely condemned on Twitter. NBA star LeBron James called it “sickening!” “ Know you don’t stand alone! I’m right here with you as well as every other athlete,” James wrote
During the weekend at Talladega, cars and pickup trucks carrying confederate flags drove along the superspeedway, while a small plane flew overhead, pulling a banner with the flag and the words “Defund NASCAR.”

Barrie hospital to get new space for kids, teens living with mental illness
Published Tuesday, June 3, 2014 7:26PM EDT
A new space is coming to help the thousands of teens and children in Simcoe County living with mental illness.
“We now know that 75 per cent of mental health disorders begin before the age of 25. We also know those people don't have access to care,” says Dr. Roger McIntyre.
In Simcoe County and Muskoka, about 20,000 kids and teens have some form of mental illness, says McIntyre. He is now spearheading a new program at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie to get those young people the help they need.
“Like all areas of chronic disease if we wait for too long the chances of the best outcome are reduced,” he says.
Currently, there is no hospital in Simcoe County or Muskoka that has a mental health department specifically for young people. Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket has nine beds for kids dealing with mental health issues and eating disorders. The new mental health centre at RVH will also have nine beds.
Right now kids needing this help might not be able to get the treatment they need close to home and McIntyre says it's important for the program to be available here.
“A child isn't just a small adult, it isn't appropriate to just cut and paste an adult program and think it is personalized,” he says.
The plan is to create a brand new space inside RVH that focuses solely on helping young people who are struggling with any sort of mental health illness: things like mood disorders, anxiety, psychotic episodes, addiction, eating disorders, and autism.
Eric Dean, the CEO of the RVH Foundation says the centre will “help kids understand their symptoms help their family understand the diagnosis and then be able to provide a whole range of treatments.”
He says the new centre is long overdue.
“We have more and more families coming forward and saying, ‘I understand the need, just last year my daughter or granddaughter was in and we recognize the lack of services,’” Dean says.
The hospital is looking to raise $3 million for the new centre. In the meantime the plan is to set up programs in existing areas of the hospital until they have their own space.

“Our goal is to put in place a strong and seamless transition that fully respects the investment process and proven capabilities of this organization,” said Sacks. “No one can expect full replacement of Theresa’s exemplary leadership. Instead . . .

Hospital patients want to lose their Weetabix under £ 420,000.
Health Minister Stephen Hammond says the NHS could be a third on breakfasts if it buys in bulk.
So hospital managers are being urged to use the health service's central purchasing arm, NHS supply chain, rather than buy locally.
Patients would also loose out on strawberry and yoghurt plus fruit and nut chocolate Alps cereal bars.
A Department of Health said: value. Mr Hammond says: "The NHS pays wildly different amounts of simple things like tea, beans, and jam."
By signing up, hospitals could save thousands of pounds. "

Q. I have two problems with my dog. How do I make him drop something he shouldn't have? And, when I give him a treat he grabs it so fast I fear he may take my fingers too. Is there a way to teach him to take his treat calmly?
A. We tease people about not being able to walk and chew gum at the same time. Well, in some things dogs can't. He must concentrate in order to keep something clenched in his mouth. So, give him another thing to think about. Tell him to "sit." Once he concentrates on sit and not getting up, his mouth relaxes a little.
Say "drop it." Then, grasp around his upper jaw just behind his canine teeth, and gently squeeze. It slowly forces him to release his hold and open his jaw. Once you remove the item from his
Taking a treat and leaving your fingers intact is certainly important. First of all, NEVER hold the treat in your fingers, out in front of you and force the dog to snatch it from them. He will almost always bite the treat out of your grasp and may catch fingers with his snap. And secondly, until your dog calmly removes treats from your hands, NEVER toss him one to catch. That encourages him to grab it from the air and in return he will grab it from your hand too.
While I am not a treat trainer, I do not think any dog should ever be given a treat without first sitting. So, place him in a sit command - BEFORE you get the treat out of the jar. Place his treat in your palm and close your fist around it.
At any point during this process, if your dog stands up, tell him "No. Sit." If he sits right away praise him. If he does not, put the treat on the counter, grasp his collar and give the familiar upward jerk to make him sit. Once he is sitting again, place the treat back in your closed palm.
Tell him, "Take it easy." Then lower your closed palm to his mouth. If he is a treat grabber, he will pretty much instantly go for your fist and get a mouth full of knuckle. And he will back away. Repeat this part of the process until you lower your hand to him and he only sniffs it, but doesn't reach for it. Then slowly open your palm. If he jerks for the treat as soon as he sees it, close your palm again. Do not release the treat to him until he reaches for it slowly. As he removes it from your palm, praise him.
With diligence and consistency your dog will drop items on command and be a "lady" or a "gentleman" about taking treats from your hand.

A delegation of leaders of the Congress, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), the Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) and the Communist Party of India (CPI) called on Telangana Governor ESL Narasimhan on Monday to submit a representation of a pre-poll alliance of the four parties.
Under the Congress-led People’s Front (Praja Kutami), the parties urged the Governor to treat it as a single entity and invite it to form the government in case it gets the maximum number of seats.
“It is brought to the notice of your Excellency that the four political parties ie. Indian National Congress, Telugu Desam Party, Telangana Jana Samiti (Regd. Party) have come to an understanding of pre-poll alliance and formed ‘People’s Front’ and contested the elections held for the State of Telangana on 7th December 2018, unitedly,” read the letter signed by Telangana Congress chief Uttam Kumar Reddy, TDP Telangana chief L Ramana, TJS chief Kodandaram and CPI state secretary Chada Venkat Reddy. Telangana Congress working president Mohammad Azharuddin was also among the leaders who met the Governor.
In their memorandum, the parties urged the Governor not to invite Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) to form the government even if it gets more seats than the Congress party in the event of a fractured verdict.
“The alliance, after winning the elections, is going to form the Government collectively and continue to work as alliance partners,” the parties assured in their letter.
Uttam Kumar Reddy later told reporters that the four parties had entered into an alliance before the elections and contested the polls with a common minimum programme. The parties also submitted the relevant records to the Governor.
Reddy said they brought to Narasimhan’s notice that the Supreme Court in its judgements on various occasions had observed that a pre-poll alliance should be treated as a single entity.
The Congress leader said they made the representation as a precautionary measure in view of the attempts by some parties to form a post-poll alliance.
The People’s Front leaders said they also urged the Governor to ensure that after the results were announced the newly-elected legislators get adequate security.
Congress sources said they called on the Governor in view of the recent experiences in Goa and Karnataka, where the governors invited the single largest party to form the government.
A majority of the exit polls have predicted that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao will sail through in the first full-fledged elections in the state. Some have, however, hinted at a hung assembly.
Earlier today, AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi said that TRS will form the next government in Telangana on its own strength and his party will stand by it and its chief K Chandrasekhar Rao. He described the decision as “our first step towards a larger goal of nation building.”
In the afternoon, Owaisi arrived on a bike to meet KCR to reaffirm his support to the TRS.
Counting of votes will be held on Tuesday, 11 December.

A British woman who made a rape complaint in Dubai has been arrested for having illegal sex with her fiance. The woman, a 23-year-old from London, said she was raped by a waiter in a luxury hotel after celebrating her engagement to her 44-year-old boyfriend, also from London.
But when she reported the alleged rape to police in the Middle Eastern state she and her boyfriend were arrested for having sex outside marriage and illegal drinking outside licensed premises.
The Foreign Office confirmed that two British people had been arrested and bailed, but would give no further details. A spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that two British nationals were arrested in Dubai on 1 January. Our embassy in Dubai is providing consular assistance."
The woman was allegedly inebriated after celebrating her engagement on a three-day new year break to the city, where her boyfriend proposed, and lost consciousness in the women's toilets of the Address hotel where the couple were staying.
The waiter is said to have followed her into the toilets and raped her while she was in a semi-conscious state. Her fiance, unaware of the attack, took her to her room. The next day, after realising what had happened, the couple went to the Jebel Ali police station to report the crime.
Police began to question the couple about breaking the emirate's strict decency laws. Usual rape procedures were ignored and the woman was given a full medical check and a morning-after pill only after the intervention of British embassy staff. Her attacker is believed to have denied rape, saying the woman, a British Muslim of Pakistani descent, consented, but he has also been charged with "illegal sex". It is understood the couple have been bailed but are still in Dubai. They could face up to six years if found guilty of having sex outside marriage.

Medieval Europe was “once regarded as a time of uninterrupted ignorance, superstition, and social oppression.” [a.] The social classes existed simply because of the Feudal System, a system which where all of the land belonged to the king. These social classes can simply be categorised into the nobles and the peasants.
Marx and Engel focused on class conflict as the driving force for their argument. Throughout history, there is a common theme of a caste society lasting for so long until the mistreated lower class attempt to break the cycle; but that system is only replaced with a new
The stasis within the social classes after the revolution was beneficial to society. “One class did not overthrow another; the poor did not supplant the rich. But social relationships-- the way people were connected to one another-- were changed, and decisively so” (Wood 132). There was a solid relationship between higher and lower classes, and that helped maintain balance within communities, which made the new country a “giant, almost continent wide republic of nearly ten million egalitarian-minded bustling citizens who not only had thrust themselves into the vanguard of history but had fundamentally altered their society and their social relationships” (132-133).
CHAPTER 3 CLASS STRUGGLE Generally class struggle means conflict between the upper class and lower class the idea of Class struggle is long-used mostly by socialists and communists, who define a class by its relationship to the means of production such as factories, land, and machinery. From this point of view, the social control of production and labour is a fight between classes, and the division of these resources basically involves conflict and causes damage. Societies are socially divided based on status, wealth, or control of social production and distribution, and in this division of class conflict arises. It is important to know Karl Marx theory on class struggle; he viewed the structure of society in relation to
During the Middle Ages, the prevailing system of government was feudalism. Under feudalism, there was the use of a definite social structure. People were born into a social class and usually stayed in that class for the rest of their life. The three social classes were the nobility, clergy, and peasantry and each of these classes had different roles to perform in the society.
The class system that defined Europe during the Middle ages was very similar to the caste system implemented in India. These systems both had a single leader atop the order followed by wealthy landowners and intellectuals. In the Middle ages like India the lowest level of society was subjected to manual labor and harsh living conditions. Also, in both of these systems the gap between wealthy and peasant was extremely large. The people that gained from these conditions were the upper classes because they were able to make a lot of money off the back of these lower-class individuals. These divisions were in place to keep the wealthy at the top of the social order and dominant over society. I believe that these systems were created by people
Class conflict, Marx believed, was what encouraged the evolution of society. To quote Marx himself, The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one
In the Communist manifesto, a well known quote of Marx, “the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” This is introductory to the first part of the pamphlet and a conclusion to Marx’s theory about class struggle. Marx’s highly structured on how the class struggle emerges and affects the development of a society. The development of a society from the old and from the new is the result of the conflict of classes in the society.
Karl Marx talks about the role of communism and his conjecture of underlying this type of revolution. He speaks of two different class struggles, the "Bourgeoisie and Proletarians". Bourgeoisie are the people with authority, the ones who own production and are bosses of wage labor while the proletariat are the individuals with no authority, no ownership and are giving up their own power to the Bourgeoisie in order to survive. Societies began to separate and became hostile and aggressive classes. It all became about social ranking because of the increase and need of production.
It is argued that social inequality occurs because of the conflict between the upper-class and the working-class, or as Marx defines it, the Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat. Based on the Manifesto of the Communist Party (Marx and Engels, 1848), the divergence emerges because the aim of the Bourgeoisie is to obtain a surplus-value that is produced by the work of the Proletariat. On the other side, the Bourgeoisie provides the Proletariat with the minimum required, such as a place to live and a minimum wage, in order to keep the society under control and avoid a rebellion. However, Marx did predict a revolt of the working-class that would eventually lead to a communist regime. When it comes to applying this theoretical approach to reality, it is evident to notice that no global revolt in regards to capitalism has occurred.
Similarly, since the birth of society, there has been contradiction in values between different classes. For example, in France during the late 1780’s, the first estate and the second estate were the minority however they had more power and influence when it came to voting. In addition, the first and second estate payed little to no taxes yet taxed the third estate, 96% of the population, very heavily. The classes each had contradicting beliefs on how France should be governed, similarly to the boys in Lord of the Flies. Both the historical example and the literary example solidify Marx’s theory that society cannot exist without contradicting beliefs among its members.
According to Marx society was divided into two classes that were in eternal conflict in the battle for resources, or as Marx coined; “the means of production”. The first class were the bourgeoisie, which Marx described as the sole owners of the means of production as well as the media. The bourgeoisie used their power and influence to exploit the second class, which Marx called the proletariat which consisted of all the workers of the world. Marx rejected the idea that the wealthy pulled themselves from their own bootstraps, which he called “false consciousness” and in return coined the term “class consciousness”, which referred to a persons awareness of their own social status, especially in terms of class conflict. Overall, Marx concluded that social order is created maintained by domination and power.
His ambition for universal equality, collective justice, and classless society transfixed me. I never thought that a classless society could be possible; however, my understanding of his work leads me to envisage the possibilities of a classless society. Marx’ work demonstrates a man who genuinely wants societal change. “The goal of sociology would not simply be to scientifically analyze or objectively describe society, but to use a rigorous scientific analysis as a basis to change it” (Little & McGivern, 2013,
This is an important task from a sociological point of view as being well read in various sociological and political ideologies aids one in forming one’s own opinions. 1. Class struggles are a fundamental part of human history:
Capitalism, according to Karl Marx is divided into two major social classes: the Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat. The Bourgeoisie, which is the minority of the class system, own the means of production such as land, machinery, factories and raw materials whereas the Proletariat, which is the majority of the class system, having no means of their own production and have to work to earn wage for a living. Karl Marx has his own theory that history is made up by class struggle which he mentioned in his book – Manifesto of the Communist Party: “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” (Marx and Engels, 1848) and had predicted that the Proletariat would lead a revolution to overthrow the Bourgeoisie. Karl Marx believed that there will be intrinsic conflict like exploitation, alienation of labour and commodity fetishism between both of the classes.

A race against time is being waged to stop a charity worker being deported on Christmas Day - amid fears he could be tortured or even killed.
Swansea West MP Geraint Davies has joined the fight to halt the forced removal of Otis Bolamu to the Democratic Republic of Congo - just days after he was seized in a 4am raid.
The MP has tried to contact Home Secretary Sajid Javid and immigration minister Caroline Nokes in a bid to remove Otis from his flight tomorrow.
But he fears the campaign to keep Otis in the country may be thwarted by the fact ministers and officials have packed up for the festive period and may not be contactable in time.
Nearly 5,000 people have signed a petition to stop the deportation of the Swansea-based charity volunteer.
It is claimed Otis is particularly vulnerable, as he is said to have fled the turbulent country after campaigning against the regime.
He was suspected of spying for the opposition and supporters said he was in "severe danger".
He was refused leave to remain in August and has appealed that decision. Meanwhile Otis has been volunteering for Oxfam, and also at the Hay Festival.
But the Swansea MP said it's been just days since Otis, thought to be 38 years old, was taken from his Swansea bed at 4am last Thursday.
He is now in Brook House Immigration Removal Centre at Gatwick awaiting his fate.
Mr Davies said: "We should not be in a position where someone is being deported on Christmas Day.
"There should be a situation where there's a last resort appeal available.
"He was only snatched on Thursday, and there's been a snowballing of opposition to him being deported to what could clearly be his death."
A petition has been set up by the Hay, Brecon and Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees. So far more than 4,800 people have signed it.
A spokesman for the group said: "Otis is a much-loved member of his community in Swansea. He volunteered at the Hay Festival in May this year and is a regular volunteer with Oxfam.
"All he wants is to be able to worship at his church on Christmas Day.
"Instead, he is being sent into harm's way, with unseemly haste, on the most sacred of all days for Christians, whilst the rest of us will be celebrating.
"This is a cruel example of the hostile environment work.
"Such an action is not at all compatible with the Christmas message of love and compassion."
A letter sent to the Home Secretary today by the group said: "Our community is particularly shocked that these events should have occurred during the Christmas period, when all legal and government agencies are closed, and the country is celebrating.
"There is a special irony in this case in that the brutal treatment of Otis is wholly at odds with the Christian message of peace, love and compassion.
"We ask you to find your own compassion and return Otis to his friends and community to practice his religion this Christmas Day.
"This would also reassure the thousands of us who have signed the petition that you are, as you have claimed, softening the cultural and political indifference to suffering represented by the ‘hostile environment’ into a more human and sensitive approach to refugees."
According to The Guardian Otis had been tortured by his government before fleeing to the UK. He was imprisoned for nine days but escaped when a friend of his father's paid a bribe to the military.
He was smuggled out of the country and is believed to have arrived in the UK in October last year.
A protest against his detention was held in Swansea last Friday.
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is said to be a very unstable country.
Elections that were due to be held this month have been postponed after being marred by deadly violence.
A Home Office spokesman said: “The UK has a proud history of granting asylum to those who need our protection.
“All asylum claims lodged in the UK are carefully considered on their individual merits against a background of relevant case law and up to date country information."
The Home Office does not comment on individual cases.
