Honouring fallen war heroes
By Rena Lim Wednesday, 20 Nov 2019
GREY and cloudy skies added to the solemn mood as 520 people honoured fallen heroes at the 18th Remembrance Day ceremony at the Esplanade in Penang.
Among them was a man who fought during the Japanese Occupation in World War II and the Malayan Campaign.
James Jeremiah, now 95, is the only surviving WWII veteran of the Eurasian ‘E’ company of Penang, a volunteer force similar to the British Home Guard.
Jeremiah said that this could be his last year taking part in the ceremony, considering his age.
“I have lived through bad times and now, better times.
“As we honour the dead, I hope that people will also take a moment to commemorate the living who survived the war.
“I hope young ones today will cherish the freedom we fought for in the war, ” he said when met at the ceremony at the Cenotaph on Sunday.
The event, organised by Penang Veterans’ Association (PVA), was held to show gratitude to the fallen heroes of World War I, World War II and other armed conflicts.
Its president Mej (R) R. Sivarajan, who is now retired, said millions of servicemen and civilians died in World War I from 1914 to 1918 and World War II from 1939 to 1945.
“The tombstones of the fallen heroes in our country are a concrete evidence of their sacrifices for a better world of freedom for us, ” he said in a speech at the ceremony.
Sivarajan said that during the Malayan Campaign in World War II, a total of 1,345 Malayan troops and policemen lost their lives defending the country.
“At that time, other forces from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Southern Rhodesia, Fiji and the Nepalese Gurkhas came to our assistance and they lost 519 troops.
“Thousands of civilians too lost their lives as the Malayan Campaign lasted for 12 long years and ended in 1960.
“This was one of the few successful counter insurgency operations in the world and we appreciate those involved, not forgetting those who did not make it home, ” Sivarajan said.
He said Malaysians below 60 years of age would have little or no knowledge of the sacrifices by the veterans.
“We have to revive memories so that we do not take for granted the peace we enjoy, ” he added.
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said World War I and World War II hampered nations’ progress and resulted in loss of human lives.
“I hope there will never be another military conflict as we are peace-loving people.
“Wars are too costly for not only human lives are lost but also property and the environment are damaged, hampering well-being and progress.
“In the last 60 years since the end of the Malayan Campaign, we have achieved so much without conflicts.
“Let us not take this freedom for granted as it was obtained through blood, sweat and tears of the heroes, ” he said in his speech.
During the ceremony, all guests observed two full minutes of silence, one minute for the fallen ones and one minute for those who returned.
Afterwards, they took turns to lay wreaths at the foot of the cenotaph as a symbol of appreciation for the fallen soldiers.
Those present were from the British High Commission and High Commissions of Nepal, Canada, Fiji, the Consul Embassies of Britain, Canada, Denmark, the defence advisors of United Kingdom, India and Australia as well as members of the New Zealand Army with veterans from the Naval Association of Australia in Western Australia.
Other guests honouring the fallen soldiers were Butterworth Integrated Area Defence System deputy commander Brigadier-General Thong Veng Leong and commanding officer of KD Sri Pinang Commander Lui Poh Hin.

You may have noticed that we introduced a host of new Rare software vacancies to the Careers section this week. We’re itching to fill these roles with some perilously talented people, so we’ve invited Bjorn, our Studio Software Manager, to provide some background to the new positions, our engineering environment and Rare in general. Take it away, fella.
Fresh from shipping Awesome Pack #1, the technical wizards of Rare are looking to expand their ranks in readiness for the future. Obviously we can’t tell you what they’ll be working on, but it would be fair to say that the words ‘exciting’, ‘challenging’, ‘far-reaching’ and ‘visionary’ describe their future adequately.
The five jobs announced this week cover most of the engineering palette: servers, tools, workflow, rendering and user interfaces. I know we have some of the best engineers in the industry, but I also know there are deep technical experts in other companies who are looking to execute on a grand scale. This week’s announcement is the first step in opening a conversation with some of the fantastic talent elsewhere.
Working at Rare is not like working at most studios. We have a tight connection with the wider organisation of Microsoft and we influence and shape the direction of ecosystems, hardware and platforms. Engineering at Rare is the tip of the spear; working with our first-party partners and the teams of the Xbox organisation, we often create the beach head for others to land on. What we’re really looking for are deep technical experts. Engineers who have shipped great titles, with lots of wisdom about what works and what doesn’t.
It’s no longer Kinect Sports: Season Two launch week, so here’s a round-up of some of the best review comments so far. And to spice it up, we’ve thrown in a few photos from the Rare on-site launch party/comedy awards ceremony last Friday, with Voice of The X Factor/Kinect Sports and all-round top bloke Peter Dickson hosting. There he is, look! Second picture! We’re not lying! He came to our late-night bash in Birmingham too, but you’re not seeing any pictures from that.
“As much as we loved the original, there was a feeling that it would take another year before we really got the Kinect Sports game we all hoped for. Thankfully, that gut instinct has proven to be entirely correct; Kinect Sports: Season Two is bigger, bolder and even more enjoyable than its illustrious forerunner, making it arguably the title of choice for Kinect players this holiday season.” – Kinectaku
“We’d go as far to say Kinect Sports: Season Two is the defining party sports game for the Xbox 360. Said it. It’s out there. Can’t take it back.” – DIY
“Let your guard down long enough and you’ll soon find you’ve lost hours flailing away to the game’s genuine charms.” – Tech Digest

An Unintended Abolition
In a typical year, New York City’s vast family regulation system, fueled by an army of mandated reporters, investigates tens of thousands of reports of child neglect and abuse, policing almost exclusively poor Black and Latinx families even as the government provides those families extremely limited support. When the City shut down in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, this system shrunk in almost every conceivable way as mandated reporters retreated, caseworkers adopted less intrusive investigatory tactics, and family courts constrained their operations. Reports fell, the number of cases filed in court fell, and the number of children separated from their parents fell. At the same time, families found support elsewhere, through suddenly burgeoning mutual aid networks and infusions of new government entitlements. This large-scale reconfiguration of the family regulation system represents a short-term experiment in abolition: in this period, New Yorkers moved away from a system that oppressed poor Black and Latinx people and not only envisioned but built a more democratic and humane model to protect families.
As this Article demonstrates, under this new model, families remained just as safe. Data from the courts and from the city’s Administration for Children’s Services reveal that there was no rise in child neglect or abuse during the shutdown period. Furthermore, once the City began to re-open, there was no perceivable “rebound effect,” i.e. a delayed, compensatory rise in reports. This Article positions the COVID-19 shutdown period as a successful case study, demonstrating one possible future absent the massive, oppressive apparatus of the family regulation system.

"I was rated the top quarterback at the Los Angeles Nike Camp and the Stanford Nike Camp, and did well at the Elite 11 Camp in Palo Alto," said Hildebrand.
Hildebrand says the success from the Nike Camp has carried over into recruiting. "Ever since then, a lot more schools have been interested. But I still think I have just barely tapped into my potential. I am just trying to get better, working hard this off-season, and having a good senior year."
Hildbrand has four offers so far, from Colorado State, Oregon State, San Diego State and BYU. He also is expecting an offer from Colorado soon. "CU said they would be offering me soon, and I think ASU could be soon. They said they wanted to see my on the field more."
He attended the ASU camp in early June, and also spent a couple of days at both the Colorado and UCLA camps. "The two camps were a lot different. The UCLA camp was a little slower for me the first day, but the second day was better."
Hildebrand stood out in the quarterback drills at the UCLA camp, probably being the best quarterback prospect in the first two days. He also caught the eye of quarterback coach and offensive coordinator Steve Axman in the drills. Hildebrand said, "Coach Axman saw how I did in a couple of drills and singled me out to demonstrate. That was cool. My only problem was they used Rawlings balls and I am used to throwing a Spalding."
Hildebrand also was impressed with Coach Dorrell and his pedigree. "I know he coached with Coach Shanahan with the Broncos and he knows what he is doing. He seems to be a real classy guy. He is bringing a fresh start to UCLA."
Hildebrand, though, is still trying to attract an invite to the Elite 11 Camp. "Ever since I read about it, it's been my goal to go there. I motivate myself by the possibility of going there. Every morning I look at an article about the Elite 11 for motivation. I had a good showing at the Elite 11 tryouts in Palo Alto and they told me I had a good shot at making it."
Hildebrand comes from a Corona program that has sent several players to Division 1 schools the past few years, including Bruin guard Shane Lehmann. "I know Shane played here, and I knew his brother Randy. We have sent a lot of guys to college here, so Coach Brandom knows what to expect."
Hildebrand is on track to be fully qualified but will take the SAT again for his personal interest in doing better.

Cubs Pwned the First Half
I can say, with some fair amount of certainty, that very few Cubs fans that read this website have been witness to the outstanding level of play that our beloved Cubbies put up during the first half this season. .600 winning percentage, utter dominance at home, best run differential in the league, best starting staff in the NL, best offense in the NL, and top three in defense and overall pitching. And to all that, we just added an pitcher who could end up being our ace and are due to get back one of our best hitters, who has only played 53% of our games to date.
Gawk in amazement at our statistical dominance after the jump...
|Category||Number||Rank in NL

* - Not sure which categories account just for DeRosa's time at 2b (53 games played) or his overall numbers at all positions.
** - For all the outfielders, rankings for Win Shares is among ALL
NL Outfielders. Soriano would rank 7th in OBP and 4th in SLG if he
*** - For most cases, Edmonds rankings reflect his time with San
Diego. His Cubs numbers are 269/369/552. That would rank him first in
OBP and SLG, but that's in only 157 plate appearances as a Cub.The
negative 2 RAA2 for his defense though is just as a Cubbie, he had a
postive 2 as a Padre. The only regular Cub that has not been a postive
with the glove so far.
Dan Vogelbach is working on his firstbase defense in Seattle. Seems to say the Cubs didn't teach him properly.
Oh my! Cards down 2-1 to Reds in the bottom of the 9th -- get a leadoff triple -- and don't score!
Gameday has stopped at the top of the 8th inning. Google tells me it ended up 8-4 Pirates but I can't get further detail. Guess I'll have to wait until the Cubs' website updates...
Phil, thanks for posting. Where do find the schedule? I have a condo in Surprise, yet I drove to Mesa and Tempe looking for a game today! Thanks!
Dear Baseball Gods--
My trip to Chicago has nothing whatsoever to do with the Cubs. In actuality, I am a Red Sox fan.
Well, if Strop had to give up a run...at least he hit Sean Rodriguez to do it.
jaso has a cycle and 5 rbis...pit leads by 4.
have a nice
bowl of pizza soupdeep dish pizza...or a leisurely walk around the notorious south-side (bring money)...shopping at one of the walmart supercenters...waiting in line to waste $20 at willis tower...
seriously, though...it's chicago, a lot to do. have a dog for lunch, a great dinner, and catch some local comedy.
Strange, because he really seemed to have the Pirates number last year.
Bummer for Jake -- I think this is the first time all year his ERA has been over 3.00, and that will be his number for the year.
Jinx remover -- your trip doesn't have to be for a baseball game -- lots of stuff to do here in town.
Guess they could always try to White Sox (and Bears...sob) approach: Never Rebuild! Seems to work pretty well for them.
3rd time this season he's given up 6+ runs to PIT...only team he's given up 6+ runs to this season.
7 runs is the most he's given up since august 6th in colorado...in 2014.
Over 100 pitches, only the 5th.
coghlan out...got his cleats stuck in the wall attempting a play (failed, but looked great doing it). walking off on his own, precautionary/day-to-day looking stuff...hopefully not worse.
also, jake arrieta is literally worse than hitler. 1-5, bottom 5. ...make that 1-6, bottom 5. ...make that 1-7, bottom 5.
Coghlan crashes into wall and comes up limping, looks like left knee or ankle. Leaves game...
Arrieta inspiring no confidence yet again.

Stages of Wound HealingThe wound becomes slightly swollen, red or pink, and tender.You also may see some clear fluid oozing from the wound.
Blood vessels open in the area, so blood can bring oxygen and nutrients to the wound.
White blood cells help fight infection from germs and begin to repair the wound.More items…•.
What fracture takes the longest to heal?
An arm may heal in a month, but a leg may take up to six months. Once a bone mends, it is usually stronger along the fracture line than it was before the break. The elderly, as well as those in poor health, may experience a condition known as delayed union, where the bone takes longer than normal to heal.
What can you put on wounds that won’t heal?
At first, chronic wounds are regularly cleaned and covered using wound dressings and bandages. If a wound still hasn’t healed after a long time despite this wound care, special treatments such as vacuum-assisted closure or skin grafts are used.
How do you heal emotionally?
Here are 10 tips for emotional healing:Be yourself. You must be yourself. … Invent yourself. You come with attributes, capacities and proclivities and you are molded in a certain environment. … Love and be loved. … Get a grip on your mind. … Forget the past.
Why does age affect the time taken to recover from injuries?
When we are older, we have less energy, and our reaction times are slower, which makes us more likely to fall or get hit by something. Whether it is an injury and an illness, conventional wisdom tells us that the older we are, the longer it takes to heal.
How do you speed up wound healing?

What are the 3 stages of wound healing?
Three Stages of Wound HealingInflammatory phase – This phase begins at the time of injury and lasts up to four days. … Proliferative phase – This phase begins about three days after injury and overlaps with the inflammatory phase. … Remodeling phase – This phase can continue for six months to one year after injury.
How does age affect soft tissue repair?
Since the tissue is less elastic and supple, it is has a harder time returning to its natural shape and color. This means older people have a higher risk of scarring from a wound. Slower collagen replacement: Tied into the reduction in skin elasticity is a decrease in the amount of collagen found in the body.
What is the fastest way to heal a wound at home?
Home remedies for wound healing Plus, drinking turmeric milk can accelerate the healing process. Crushed garlic cloves will also stop bleeding and reduce pain. Aloe Vera gel has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties that ease the tightness of the skin, reducing pain and swelling.
How long does it take for a deep wound to heal?
Most scrapes heal well with home treatment and do not scar. Minor scrapes may be uncomfortable, but they usually heal within 3 to 7 days. The larger and deeper the scrape, the longer it will take to heal. A large, deep scrape may take up to 1 to 2 weeks or longer to heal.
Is the tongue the fastest healing organ?
Newsletter. Biting your tongue or cheek when chewing can ruin a tasty meal. But thankfully, mouth wounds heal up fast — faster than cuts on skin — and now scientists know why. According to new research published today in Science Translational Medicine, mouths are primed for healing.
How do you tell if a wound is healing or infected?
Signs of InfectionWarmth. Often, right at the beginning of the healing process, your wound feels warm. … Redness. Again, right after you’ve sustained your injury, the area may be swollen, sore, and red in color. … Discharge. … Pain. … Fever. … Scabs. … Swelling. … Tissue Growth.More items…
What part of the body heals the slowest?
Cartilage is avascular, meaning that it has no blood supply. The lack of blood circulation in cartilage means that it is a very slow-healing type of tissue. Nutrition to cartilage is maintained by fluid in the joints, which lubricates the tissue.
Does Neosporin speed up healing?
Only Neosporin eliminated the infection after 2 applications (at 16 and 24 hours). Both the antibiotic ointment and the wound protectant led to faster wound healing by about 4 days compared with the antiseptics or no treatment.
What injuries take the longest to heal?
Bone fractures and minor muscle injuries: these typically heal a lot faster, from weeks to months. Tendon or ligament: these take longer, from months to a year.
Do you heal faster when younger?
On top of that, young bodies are always growing. Bodily resources and energy are constantly being used to create bone and muscle tissue. Organs are growing and developing. Since the body is always engaged in this process anyway, healing also happens faster.
What is the best ointment for open wounds?
A first aid antibiotic ointment (Bacitracin, Neosporin, Polysporin) can be applied to help prevent infection and keep the wound moist. Continued care of the wound is also important. Three times a day, wash the area gently with soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and re-cover with a bandage.
Does healing take longer as you age?
Now that you’re older, wounds can take much longer to heal — sometimes many months. “The body’s capacity to repair the skin diminishes as we get older. There aren’t as many growth factors and stem cells in the skin.
Why do wounds take longer to heal as you get older?
Everything slows down during the aging process, including the phases of wound healing. Skin gets thinner and the body shows a decreased inflammatory response meaning that, as you get older, your skin is predisposed to injury and will heal slower when injury occurs. Proper nutrition is vital to optimal healing.
What causes slow healing of wounds?
A skin wound that doesn’t heal, heals slowly or heals but tends to recur is known as a chronic wound. Some of the many causes of chronic (ongoing) skin wounds can include trauma, burns, skin cancers, infection or underlying medical conditions such as diabetes. Wounds that take a long time to heal need special care.

Fact Sheet: The Inflation Reduction Act and Prescription Drug Prices
One in four people over the age of 65 report not taking at least one prescription drug as prescribed due to its cost. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical corporations are making record profits, lining the pockets of their executives and shareholders while patients struggle to afford the drugs they need to stay healthy.
To help reverse the pharmaceutical industry’s stranglehold on our health care system, on August 16, 2022 President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law. It means lower prescription drug prices for millions of Medicare beneficiaries.

A grape is a fruit, botanically a berry, deciduous vines of the genus of flowering plants Vitis. The grapes can be eaten fresh as table grapes or can be used to make wine, jam, grape juice, gelatin, grape seed extract, raisins, vinegar and l grape seed oil. Grapes are a type of non-climacteric fruit, usually found in clusters. Like other fruits, grapes have huge benefits for humans and I want to talk about them today in this article.
Here are five health benefits of grapes :
1. Improve your eyesight
When it comes to dieting to correct your eyesight, you don’t have to rotate your diet around eye foods like carrots and spinach. In fact, you can keep your taste buds happy and correct your eyesight while eating grapes. So if you want to take a break from boring traditional foods for better vision and prefer a delicious but healthier alternative to improve your eyesight. A recent scientific study found that grapes protect eye cells from a damaging process that negatively affects eye health, called oxidative stress.
2. Reduces skin problems.
Grapes contain vitamin E, phytosterols, polyunsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and alpha-linoleic acid. Grape seed oil is used in cosmetics and skin care products. It can lighten your skin and protect you from acne.
3. Protects the kidneys
The grape is alkaline in nature and removes acids from the system. It lowers the pH of uric acid and protects the kidneys.
4. Improves your memory
Some discoveries have revealed that grapes help increase blood flow to the brain, which could be a catalyst in mental responses. And demonstrate substantial benefits for people with brain-related illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s. ” A study from the University of Switzerland also found that grapes can help remove plaques and free radicals, which affect brain.
5. Grapes can protect you from cancer
Grapes contain high levels of beneficial plant compounds, which can help protect against certain types of cancer (6Trusted Source). Resveratrol, one of the compounds found in this fruit, has been well studied in terms of cancer prevention and treatment. It has been shown to protect against cancer by reducing inflammation, acting as an antioxidant. And blocking the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. The combination of plant compounds found in grapes may be responsible for its anti-cancer benefits. In addition to resveratrol, grapes also contain quercetin, anthocyanins, and catechins, all of which can have beneficial effects in the fight against cancer.

The producers of the 1999 sci-fi martial-arts extravaganza The Matrix used elaborate and costly movie camera technology to circle around characters frozen mid-kung-fu kick. Such vertiginous visual effects can now be generated on the cheap from live images provided by stationary video cameras. But even more pertinent in the post-September 11 era, the package of video-processing and 3-D modeling technologies delivering these tricks promises to set a new standard for surveillance and security systems-and bring new meaning to the term “reality programming.”
The system, developed at Sarnoff in Princeton, NJ, allows users to joystick their way through a live, 3-D scene as if it were the latest video game. Indeed, by stitching together scenes captured by dozens or hundreds of networked cameras, the technology makes it possible to conduct a virtual patrol of an entire urban center, or every hallway in a building, in real time. “It’s difficult for eyeballs to make sense of what a collection of cameras sees. This is an integrated way to use hundreds of cameras to make one display,” says Rakesh Kumar, computer scientist and lead developer of the technology, dubbed “Video Flashlight.”
What makes the new system so unusual is that it melds 3-D models of a background scene-say, a cluster of buildings-with real-time camera views of the same area. Image-processing chips developed at Sarnoff detect new or moving objects, construct 3-D images of these objects, and integrate them into the model. New software for “tweening”-filling in the gaps between video frames-lets security personnel “fly” around a subject such as a pedestrian, getting a detailed look without jumping between widely separated views. “This is beyond anything else out there” in vision processing, says Mari Maeda, a physicist who shepherded Sarnoff’s project as a program manager at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Uses of the technology could include marking and tracking individuals as they move, or setting off an alarm when an unusual pattern is detected, such as a large group of people entering a building. Sarnoff engineers say the system needs refinement-for example, they aim to make it work with cameras that zoom, pan and tilt, not just fixed ones. But early versions have already been installed at U.S. Army Intelligence headquarters and are under consideration for New York City’s three airports-perhaps bringing us all a step closer to living inside the Matrix.

* Global fight against beoutQ hugely significant, says beIN Media Group CEO
A moneyspinning deal between the BBC and Discovery is under threat from a Saudi Arabia piracy operation which illegally broadcasts 100 UK-based channels to over 400mn people, MPs have been told.
The £300mn global streaming service of its natural history programmes was last month described by Director-General Tony Hall as the "largest content deal the BBC has ever done".
But MPs on the Digital, Culture, Sport and Media Select Committee fear that when BBC Discovery launches next year it won’t be able to sell its library to customers in the Middle East because everyone there already has access to it for free.
They called for a ’robust attack’ on the rogue Riyadh-based channel, called beoutQ, which broadcasts illegally to 400mn people across the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region.
Asked about the threat to BBC Discovery and how the broadcaster commercialises its streaming service, DCMS Secretary of State Jeremy Wright, said: "There is considerable interest in the BBC in expanding what they do and I do think a greater global presence for the BBC brand is good news for the UK. We need to make sure the intellectual property of BBC products are defended."
As well as BBC programmes, the Saudi pirates are also stealing from ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky and others.
The problem means that ITV’s sale this week of The Bodyguard to China could not be repeated in the Mena region because the Keeley Hawes hit is already available there on beoutQ.
The rogue channel can both be streamed on the Internet and is available via the Riyadh-based Arabsat satellite, of which Saudi Arabia is the majority shareholder.
beoutQ was launched in 2017 following a Saudi Arabia-led boycott of Qatar which meant all diplomatic, transport and trade ties with the fellow Gulf state were cut.
This meant that Saudi TV viewers could no longer get access to top sporting events because of a ban on the beIN Sports Channel, which is Doha-based and owns exclusive rights to the Premier League, FIFA World Cup, Champions League and Formula One.
beoutQ initially started as a geo-blocked website available only in Saudi Arabia but soon developed into a sophisticated international piracy operation stealing not only sport, but thousands of movies and TV shows such as Game of Thrones and The Bodyguard.
It led to the BBC and Sky last year calling on the European Commission to take formal action against Saudi Arabia.
Wright said that the problem had been raised by the British ambassador in Riyadh and was being pursued by a number of government departments.
He said: "If we want to see good quality sport, we have to make sure that people are able to protect those rights so they can carry on delivering it to us; and those that are seeking to undermine those rights of course undermine that process."
Damian Collins, chairman of the DCMS Committee, queried why the Department for International Trade was taking the lead tackling the Saudis on the issue and whether this meant any action would be weighed against the UK’s other interests in the region.
"The issue of beoutQ is straightforward piracy," he said. "I’d be slightly concerned if our interest in this issue, and addressing it, is being balanced with other trade interests in the region".
Yousef al-Obaidly, CEO of beIN Media Group, said: "The latest development in the global fight against beoutQ is hugely significant as it represents a critically important call from a Parliamentary Committee of MPs for the UK government to intervene with the Saudi government to stop the continued daily theft of valuable UK brands."
In June 2017 Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt launched a blockade of Qatar accusing it of cosying up to Iran and supporting extremism, which Doha denies.

There are countless sobering findings in the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) assessment of the House GOP repeal bill, most importantly that the bill would lead to 24 million people losing health insurance.
The American Health Care Act is not a suitable replacement for the Affordable Care Act and should be rejected.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has confirmed what we already know: The American Health Care Act (AHCA) would wreak havoc on the health care system.
See how the repeal bill currently making its way through Congress will affect lower-income families.

Millions of adults lack coverage for oral health care and cannot afford to pay for needed care on their own. States can make a difference by covering extensive oral health benefits in their Medicaid programs.
We lay out the eight ways to evaluate the quality of any replacement plan put forth by Republicans in Congress.
Republicans' ACA Replacement Proposals Fall Short of Providing the Protections and Care People Currently Enjoy Under the Affordable Care Act
Despite public disapproval, congressional Republicans are rushing down a dangerous path that could take health coverage away from 30 million people and raise premiums for millions more.
Repeal of the Affordable Care Act would give huge tax cuts and tax breaks worth nearly $600 billion to wealthy individuals and large corporations while stripping care from middle-class and low-wage working families.
With a new president and Congress, the health care gains made throughout the last six years face their greatest threat yet. These proposed changes will put the health—and lives—of Americans at risk.

NHL: Sabres reach deal with Bell TV to broadcast 50 games in southern Ontario
|Report an Error|
Share via Email
BUFFALO, N.Y.—The Buffalo Sabres are expanding their television reach into Canada.
The team announced Wednesday that Bell TV has agreed to broadcast 50 Sabres games this season to its customers in southern Ontario. The Sabres have spent several years attempting to broaden their exposure into the neighbouring Niagara region, from which the team draws many fans.
Most Sabres games have previously been limited to being broadcast on U.S. cable networks not available in Canada. Sabres fans in Ontario instead had to purchase the NHL’s Center Ice package to watch the team play.
Bell will not charge additional fees for broadcasting the games. The first broadcast will be Buffalo’s home game against Columbus on Thursday.

Gospel music is one of the oldest forms of music. With its origins being traced back as far as the 17th century, Gospel singers have preached the words of the good book for centuries and are making some of the best gospel and Christian songs of 2018. Gospel singers for a long time had to sing without musical accompaniment outside of clapping and stomping - black gospel music has a strong tradition of using the human hands and feet as instruments. More recently, these hymns and songs feature the same strong harmonies, but also organs to tambourines to electric guitars. Beginning in the 1920s and 1930s, gospel artists became some of the most popular singers in the world. The best gospel singers are wildly popular in the Christian community are closely associated with other Christian singers. Today, within the Christian community, gospel singers are as, if not more popular than Christian rock bands, which is saying a lot. Bible Verse Images

Famous men of all ilks (actors, musicians, politicians, Chris Berman) must be furiously Googling themselves in an effort to trigger any memories of the type of inappropriate treatment of women that is killing the careers (and possibly more) of some of their peers while praying that TMZ doesn’t corner them and ask for quote about Harvey Weinsntein. Or Kevin Spacey. Or Louis CK. The KISS fan in me wondered if anything like this would ever come back on famous lothario Gene Simmons. The answer, for now, is… sort of?
The Daily Beast is reporting that KISS frontman Gene Simmons was reportedly banned from FOX News after harassing employees and making crude statements during an promotional appearance at the network on Thursday.
Simmons had just completed an interview about his new book with Fox Business when he arrived for an entertainment feature on the 14th floor and began acting inappropriately, according to The Daily Beast.
“Hey chicks, sue me!” Simmons yelled while pulling open his red velvet shirt and exposing his chest and stomach, the site said.
Simmons also told jokes about pedophilia and touched a number of employees — even tapping some on the head with his book while insulting their intelligence.
The rocker was banned from all FOX properties permanently.
Well, he can still go on the TODAY show. For now.

I have just found out that I won the last challenge over at Fab N Funky Challenge Blog! Thanks so much! Now the hard part: choosing from Di's wonderful Digis!
Ok, on to today's card......For me spring is the start of flowers! My daffodils and tulips are starting to bud and my daylilies are just peeking up through the ground! This week was also full of spring challenges, so I made a card for all of those.
I heat embossed the swirl and flower from the Stampin' Up set Doodle This in silver pearl. Took the brayer to it after it cooled using Marigold Morning ink. Found some felt flowers and a black flower brad that worked perfectly layering it over the embossed flower on the background. Found some nice patterned green ribbon in my stash, and colored up Cherry Tilda to sit on it!
The last thing I added was some orange rhinestones to give it a little shine!
This qualifies for the following challenges:

Enrique R. Lamadrid describes his area of expertise as “all the untold, forgotten stories.”
But the stories are family history to many New Mexicans.
Lamadrid, a distinguished professor emeritus of Spanish at the University of New Mexico, has done ground-breaking research into genízaros – descendants of Native American tribes who were taken as captive in the 1700s and 1800s and ultimately assimilated into New Mexican culture – during his more than 30-year career at the university. His forthcoming book on the subject, “Nación Genízara,” is due out this fall.
Lamadrid’s decades of academic work and evolution into an authority in his field hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Last month, Lamadrid won the Enrique Anderson Imbert, a national prize from the North American Academy of the Spanish Language.
“It was like lightning out of blue sky,” the 70-year-old scholar said of receiving the honor. “… The people on the list who have gotten (the award) are all-stars. I never think of myself as an all-star. I just do my work and have as good of time as I can.
“This is big for UNM. It’s a huge honor and it’s a reminder … of the diversity of our students.”
The academy said in a news release that the award was the most prestigious that it has granted since 2012. It is intended to recognize contributions to research, projects and publications on the diffusion of the Spanish language, literature and Hispanic cultures in the United States.
Lamadrid describes his position at UNM as his “dream job.”
Born in Embudo and raised in Albuquerque, Lamadrid did his undergraduate work at UNM before obtaining a master’s and a doctorate from the University of Southern California in the late 1970s. He returned to UNM in 1985 as an assistant professor. These days, he holds the title of emeritus professor with an office at the UNM Press, which has published some of the books he has written throughout his career.
“This was the dream job,” he said, “coming back to my alma mater.”
Lamadrid’s research priorities and interests include Hispanic folklore, music and ethnopoetics. His résumé includes 12 books, 26 articles and 23 book chapters, among other publications, and travels, including with UNM students, to Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba and Central and South America.
His books include “Amadito and the Hero Children,” a bilingual children’s book about influenza epidemics in New Mexico, and “Nuevo México Profundo: Rituals of an Indo-Hispano Homeland,” in which he collaborated with photographer Miguel Gandert to document the rituals of people of indigenous and Spanish descent in New Mexico.
“It’s a very old place and a very complicated place,” he said of Hispanic studies in New Mexico. “In the Spanish department (at UNM) there has always been a strong Latin American component and the New Mexico component. … Hispanic culture is as strong (in New Mexico) as it is anywhere in Latin America, or anywhere where people are speaking Spanish.”
In announcing the award, officials with the Spanish language academy said Lamadrid should be recognized for his contributions to the knowledge of the Spanish language in the United States, including in New Mexico.
“His teaching profile is that of an educator of researchers who has trained his students in field work, joining theory with praxis to illuminate analysis and documentation,” Carlos Paldao, the secretary of the competition, said in announcing the award. “It is evidence that professor Lamadrid has made seminal contributions to the knowledge of the Hispanic cultural roots and heritage in the southwest United States.”

Have you ever used salt based ice removal products and when spring arrived noticed that your sidewalk was chipping and crumbling or your lawn was damaged? Salt is a very effective ice buster but it and some other ice removal products can literally eat your sidewalk and kill your grass.
When rock salt melts, it releases chloride which can damage concrete and metal. It can also damage fabric so if you track it into your vehicle it can eat the carpets and cause the floorboards to rust. Runoff from salted roads and sidewalks can also get into the groundwater, streams, and lakes.
If you want to keep your sidewalk and driveway safe and green, here are a few alternatives to rock salt.
- Urea – this natural fertilizer is less corrosive than salt and is gentler on your pets’ tender paws. It has high levels of nitrogen and comes in liquid form. If over used it will damage lawns and plants and could runoff into lakes, ponds, and rivers and cause algae blooms.
- Alfalfa Meal – contains nitrogen and is primarily used as a fertilizer but it’s less harmful to water supplies if used in moderation. It’s dry and grainy and when it’s scattered on sidewalks and driveways it provides welcome traction while it’s melting the ice.
- Sugar Beet Juice – if you grow beets, you have a ready-made supply of ice remover. Beet juice can be used on its own or mixed with salt solutions to dilute them. Beet juice lowers the freezing point of water and is completely harmless to people and animals.
- Birdseed – while birdseed won’t melt ice, it provides traction and a meal for wild birds when they need it most.
- Kitty Litter – scatter clay based, non-clumping litter, or litter made from recycled paper or corn fibers on sidewalks and driveways to provide traction.
The best way to control ice on sidewalks and driveways is to remove snow as soon as it falls. Now that gardening season over, 5 Star Landscaping can provide you with full snow and ice removal services.


Gab auditioned on America’s Got talent and actually made it but ditched the popular reality show because the 30-second fame cannot guarantee or reassure that he’ll make it big. Therefore, he opted for his passion and used it to make a living. He’s now into both music and video productions in the States.
I wish to see him on AGT but it’s obvious it isn’t his cup of tea. Anyway, here’s Gab and the all-male dance group The Manoeuvres latest Youtube video partying with MC Hammer’s “2 Legit 2 Quit”.

Lab to be named for Thompson
JACKSON — The new Mississippi State Public Health Laboratory currently under construction will now bear the name of the health official who pushed for its completion – former State Health Officer Dr. Ed Thompson.
Thompson served as state health officer for the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) from 1993 to 2002 and was named interim state health officer in July 2007. He was later reappointed to the permanent position of state health officer in Dec. 2007. Thompson also served as state epidemiologist from 1983 to 1993.
He died Dec. 1, 2009, after a long battle with cancer.
The new $25-million laboratory will be 60,000 square feet, twice the size of the current lab, originally built more than 50 years ago. State-of-the-art laboratory equipment in the new facility will allow the agency to efficiently detect infectious diseases, identify harmful environmental contaminants and rapidly respond to biological terrorism agents. Construction of the Dr. F.E. “Ed” Thompson, Jr. State Public Health Laboratory is slated for completion in the fall.

"[This book] will become a standard for ages to come, against which all other books will be measured and put into perspective of relative importance. The author leads us beyond the limited precepts of nutrition into the realms of Divinity."
—From the Preface by Viktoras Kulvinskas
"...arguably the best book on diet from both a health and a spiritual point of view ever to see print."
"Dr. Gabriel Cousens is a true Yogi. This book is a cosmic how-to book that focuses on methods to spiritualize the physical body, thus creating a vehicle for Enlightenment, here and now."
"This is a stunning advance over similar books in the field. It opens up the real possibility that nutrition has finally entered a new age. Better yet, this effort draws from both the best and most recent science and the eternal roots of esoterica, a full meal for the most critical reader."
"...probably the most detailed description ever written of the role of diet and Kundalini in the transformation of body, mind, and spirit."
—Barbara Marx Hubbard --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Spiritual Nutrition sets out six foundations that help purify the system and ease the natural progress of one's spirituality: nutrition, building prana (life force), service, spiritual guidance, silence, and Kundalini Awakening. Although each of our journeys are unique, the majority of seekers do some work in each of these areas throughout their lives. As expected the choices in each of these categories are quite varied. For instance, spiritual guidance can be received through reading scripture, through the assistance of a mentor, by experiencing sacred music, or by communing with nature. Likewise, silence can be attained through meditation, prayer, mantra, or chanting. The possibilities are virtually endless.
To most people on a spiritual path finding the appropriate way to express these different parts of the self seems pretty simple in theory if not in practice. Of the six foundations, nutrition is probably the most difficult to comprehend. Fully understanding how different foods interact with your body, learning how much food your body requires, and discovering ways to reduce the toxins that you take in is quite an overwhelming prospect. For this reason, Spiritual Nutrition goes into a good deal of detail for this category. The purpose isn't really to subscribe to one particular diet set out by the author. Instead, the author seeks to educate the reader and give him or her a place to start his or her own explorations. I appreciate that.

I worked for Dr. Gabriel Cousens for almost 3 years and have recently stopped working and moved away. I did a lot of transcribing for this book last summer and fall ('04) and it had a huge impact on me. Although I learned a lot working for Dr. Cousens and being a part of the Tree of Life community, his schedule is so busy that it isn't possible just to have lots of leisurely time to sit around and pick his brain. He puts all the nitty gritty details of his knowledge and wisdom into books.
I didn't think that transcribing a book was the greatest fun, but I immensely enjoyed learning all the information. Dr. Cousens is always researching and learning and always putting out the latest and greatest information.
In this new version of Spiritual Nutrition, much of the old material was kept, but revised to go into newer, better, and more detail. But most of the book is new material, with newer information than has been discovered since the last book was written. Although I am not nuts about reading technical material and this book really goes into detail, I found also that it was readable and understandable. There were good editors working on the book too to make sure that it was as clear and concise as possible. Gabriel does not gloss over topics, he definitely is willing to explain in great detail and provide resources for the information provided, along with anecdotes of his own personal experiences.
If you are like me, you will walk away from this book with an understanding of nutrition and the body that far exceeds your expectations, or what you would believe is possible. The same goes for spiritual understandings.
My hat is off to Gabriel, not only for the incredible level of information provided in this book, but also on a personal level for helping my son get well when no one else could, and for having the insight to be so patient and flexible with me when I needed it most while under his employ.
Gabriel is truly not in this whole thing (book-writing, lecturing, developing and running the Tree of Life Center) to get rich. Everything is non-profit and he lives very modestly and simply. In my experience, it became obvious to me that Gabriel does what he does because he truly wants to spread great health, wellness, and peace throughout the world.
Thank you Gabriel, for your contribution to our lives. I've seen you help so many people (who were willing) to turn their lives around and experience a level of wellness they never thought possible. My son was one of those people.
Everyone else, if you want some really great information that is hard to find from other sources, get this book. Whether you are interested in physical health and nutrition, or spiritual health and nutrition, or both.
This book cannot be taken in one sitting, nor can personal spiritual transformation. The knowledge in this book is a summary of 35 years of the author actually living this way. How many books can you find where the teachings are actually lived by the author.
This book is to be savored, Meditated On, Lived & Experienced one bite at a time.
The shallow reviews on this page from people who have never actually met Gabriel, Lived the Six Foundations or even read the whole book seem really odd to me.
Regarding nutrition this book covers: Living Water, Minerals, Enzymes, B12, Fasting, Low Glycemic, Organic, Veganism, Ayurveda, and yes Undereating.... and if you have ever eaten at the Tree of Life Cafe you will realize the food is amazing, packed with nutrition, satifying and alive... people go home feeling like they have certainly feasted.
On a daily basis at the center/ community we meditate for world peace, share with like minded people, practice yoga, teach food prep classes, eat organic live foods... and teach people to go out and live their own dharma (life purpose)that helps bring peace into their own communities.
The teachings are there for us to take what works for us.... like Gabriels other book Conscious Eating focussed on Individualizing the Diet... This book focusses clearly on Individualizing the Spiritual Life. The six foundations are simple... and contain levels & depths of knowledge and flexibility for each unique beautiful soul walking the planet.
I invite you to take a taste of this book, experience & live some of the wisdom & teachings and share it with family & friends.
