Cafe Style Banana Bread
I cannot think of a person that I know who doesn’t love a good banana bread, especially the beautifully dense ones you buy at the cafes. I love a good banana bread such as this one to accompany my morning coffee for breakfast or with my tea in the afternoon. While the original recipe is made in the Thermomix, I have converted it here for those who wish to make it the traditional way. This bread is best eaten fresh or grilled with melted butter on top and be warned – you will have to share with the little ones as they love it too.
Prep and Cooking Time – 60 minutes | Serves – 6 adults
THERMOMIX & ORIGINAL RECIPE LINK – My ‘Gloria Jeans’ Style Banana Bread (by juucebox)
Step 1. Pre-heat oven to 200⁰C and line a loaf tray with baking paper.
Step 2. Place all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix together well – almond meal, flour, sugars, and bicarbonate soda.
Step 3. Add the remaining ingredients into a bowl and stir well, ensuring there are no lumps – eggs, butter, banana, syrup and vanilla extract.
Step 4. Pour banana bread batter into lined loaf tray and bake in the oven for 50 minutes. Serve as soon as it is ready.
NOTES AND VARIATIONS
The oven I used when making this bread was not fan-forced so please adjust your ovens accordingly if you have one . Even then, I like to check the bread at the 45 minute mark by sticking a fork into the bread; if no batter comes out with the fork then you will know your bread has been cooked on the inside.

Elliott is a 6-foot-4, 265-pound lineman who remarkably has stayed somewhat under the radar despite an outstanding senior season. One view of Elliott's film and it doesn't take long to notice Elliott is a force along the offensive line.
While his name isn't well-known in recruiting circles just yet, colleges have seen enough to extend an offer to the rising lineman. Among the schools Elliott holds offers from in addition to TCU are Air Force, Fresno State, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Nevada, Northern Colorado, Incarnate Word and Sam Houston state.
Elliott was excited to receive the offer from the Horned Frogs on Wednesday after a visit from head coach Gary Patterson and quarterbacks coach Sonny Cumbie.
"I was very excited about the opportunity and honored that TCU would consider me," Elliott said.
Elliott lined up at right tackle for Jesuit as a senior, earning unanimous All-District honors. It's unknown what position the Frogs are currently targeting him for at the moment.
"We have not discussed a specific position yet," Elliott said. "We will probably do that more this weekend."
While it may appear that TCU recently started showing interest, the Frogs' coaches have actually had their eyes on him since last summer according to Elliott. Interest increased as Jesuit advanced deeper in the class 5A playoffs in the fall.
"I went to their camp during the summer, and that was the first time they saw me," he said. "The interest accelerated as we went three-deep into the playoffs."
Elliott admits that he doesn't know a lot about TCU's program, but he looks forward to learning more about the program this weekend as he makes an official visit to the Big 12 program.
For the moment though, he does know enough to put the Frogs on top above the others.
"Obviously TCU with its solid academic and athletic reputation," he said of why TCU is on top. "Plus, the fact that they play in the Big 12 is enticing."
TCU isn't the only BCS program that has shown interest in Elliott this week; Texas Tech and Arizona State have also stopped by his school to meet with him. Both have discussed the possibility of a visit, but for now Elliott is focusing only on schools that have extended offers.
"Possibly, but right now my interest lies in the schools that have offered," Elliott answered on if he would make additional visits.
Texas Tech does have a connection with Elliott as most of his immediate family are all Red Raider alums. However, Elliott said it could be time to start a different path.
"(My)Mom, Dad, uncle, aunt and sister (currently goes) all went to Tech," he said. "Someone will have to break the trend sooner or later!"
Does that mean a commitment could happen on his visit to TCU this weekend?
"Anything is possible. I am looking forward to my visit," he finished.

Medicaid patients will have a new option for getting to a medical appointment under a new law that takes effect Monday. The law authorizes transportation network companies like Lyft and Uber, under state and federal Medicaid requirements, to provide nonemergency medical transportation services to Medicaid recipients.
“I was honored to sponsor this legislation, which will bring much-needed relief to thousands of Floridians struggling with the high costs of transportation and health care,” said Sen. Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg.
In the past, Medicaid patients had to rely on nonemergency medical transportation that didn’t always guarantee them a ride. The introduction of ridesharing into the process is expected to benefit millions of Americans.
A study published in March by the American Journal of Public Health showed that modernizing nonemergency medical transportation through rideshare could generate cost-savings of $537 million a year when scaled nationally.
“Bold ideas are the key to providing affordable solutions to our health care challenges, and the transparency and convenience offered by ridesharing companies will make a meaningful difference in the lives of many Floridians,” Brandes added.
“Floridians deserve access to affordable, convenient transportation services, which is why I sponsored this legislation that our state has now chosen to embrace,” said Rep. Daniel Perez, R-Miami. “With rising costs for health care, we must do everything we can to find innovative, affordable solutions, especially for our state’s most vulnerable citizens.”
Lyft is already an enrolled Medicaid provider in Arizona. The company’s VP of Healthcare, Megan Callahan, said the there’s a natural connection between Medicaid patients who are in need of affordable and convenient transportation and states trying to save money on the cost of nonemergency medical transportation.
“As Lyft continues to grow in the healthcare market, we welcome the opportunity to serve all Medicaid beneficiaries,” said Callahan, “Senator Brandes and Representative Perez have led the way in making it possible for more Floridians to reach their healthcare providers affordably and conveniently, and we thank Governor DeSantis for signing this important legislation into law. In the end, the people of Florida will benefit from this forward-thinking reform.”

The Orphanage (2007)
Critic Consensus: Deeply unnerving and surprisingly poignant, The Orphanage is an atmospheric, beautifully crafted haunted house horror film that earns scares with a minimum of blood.
Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro produces director Juan Antonio Bayona's gothic frightener about a long-abandoned orphanage with a particularly troubling past. As a child, young orphan Laura spent her formative years being cared for by the staff of a large orphanage located by the Spanish seaside. Those were some of the happiest years of Laura's life, and now, 30 years later, the former charge returns to the dilapidated institution with her husband, Carlos, and their seven-year-old son, Simon, to reopen the orphanage as a facility for disabled children. However, something ominous haunts the darkened hallways of this silent, stately manor. When Simon's behavior begins to grow increasingly bizarre and malicious, Laura and Carlos start to suspect that the mysterious surroundings have awoken something ominous in the young boy's imagination. It's not long before Laura, too, is drawn into this disturbing web and the repressed memories of the past come flooding back in a terrifying torrent of tension and deeply disturbing revelations. With opening day drawing near and their situation growing increasingly grim by the hour, Carlos attempts to write off Simon's bizarre behavior as a desperate bid to get more attention from his distracted parents. Laura isn't so easily convinced of this theory, though, and soon embarks on a desperate quest to unearth the terrible secret that lurks in the old house, waiting for just the right moment to inflict devastating damage on both her and her family. … More

Critic Reviews for The Orphanage
A frightening movie that earns its scares the hard way, generating unbearable tension through artful technique instead of computer.
At a time when American horror seems transfixed by graphic sadism, the acclaimed Spanish chiller El Orfanato harks back to an older tradition of psychological scares and things that go bump in the night.
Audience Reviews for The Orphanage
Great awesome edge of your seat perfect movie. Wow I was speechless of how good this movie was. Laura purchases her beloved childhood orphanage with dreams of restoring and reopening the long abandoned facility as a place for disabled children. Once there, Laura discovers that the new environment awakens her son's imagination, but the ongoing fantasy games he plays with an invisible friend quickly turn into something more disturbing. Upon seeing her family increasingly threatened by the strange occurrences in the house, Laura looks to a group of parapsychologists for help in unraveling the mystery that has taken over the place.
Spain has turned out quite a few excellent horror films in the last few years, and in my opinion, some of the most terrifying and original films of the last decade. The Orphanage is a brilliant, near flawless and beautifully constructed ghost story. The film benefits from all the necessary ingredients to make a terrifying, and memorable horror film. Director J.A Bayona crafts one of the best ghost stories I've seen since The Others. What makes The Orphanage such a solid horror film is the tense, creepy atmosphere and effective pacing to steadily build up the horror. This is a solid, well acted horror film that is a must see for Diehard fans of the genre, or anyone looking for a good scare. I love horror, been a fan since I was a kid, and I've been quite unhappy with the current state of horror with all the remakes being released. Aside from a select few, most of them are terrible. However, it's nice to see an original, creepy horror film like this that comes out considering the fading trend of quality horror films. The Orphanage is a solid horror film. This is a smartly crafted film that delivers genuine chills and suspense. The Orphanage is simply put a brilliant, well acted horror film that is memorable and is one of the best horror films of the last decade. The film is scary, thrilling and spine tingling, as what a good horror film should be.

Government has a paid-up license in this invention and the right in limited circumstances to require the patent owner to license others on reasonable terms as provided for by the terms of Contract No. NC awarded by the U. Field of the Invention Technical Field The present invention relates generally to the field of direct write deposition.
Background Art Note that the following discussion refers to a number of publications and references. Discussion of such publications herein is given for more complete background of the scientific principles and is not to be construed as an admission that such publications are prior art for patentability determination purposes.
Various techniques may be used for deposition of electronic materials, however thick film and thin film processing are the two dominant methods used to pattern microelectronic circuits. Recently, ink jetting of conductive polymers has also been used for microelectronic patterning applications.
Thick film and thin film processes for deposition of electronic structures are well-developed, but have limitations due to high processing temperatures or the need for expensive masks and vacuum chambers.
Ink jetted conductive polymers have resistivities that are approximately six orders of magnitude higher than bulk metals. Thus, the high resistivity of ink jetted conductive polymers places limitations on microelectronic applications.
One jetting technique, disclosed in U. The minimum feature size attainable with this method was reported to be approximately microns. Deposition of metals onto low-temperature targets is not disclosed.
The process disclosed in U. The apparatus uses ultrasonic atomization and a pressurized chamber ending in an orifice, to form a jet of aerosolized ink entrained in a carrier gas.
Hochberg discloses the use of relatively large exit orifices—the reported orifice diameters range from to microns—and a minimum deposited feature size of 50 microns.
The invention of Hochberg does not use a sheath gas to form an annular flow for the purpose of focusing the aerosol stream and preventing accumulation of material at the exit orifice, is limited to the deposition of ink onto paper, and does not disclose a process for aerosolization and deposition of viscous inks or inks composed of particle suspensions.

Aggression in lab mice
This article hasn’t received the attention it deserves: Gaskill, Garner, Winnicker, Pritchett-Corning, 2017, Lab Animal
Aggression in lab mice is a problem for research. In this article, we assess the factors that are known to influence mouse aggression, but also introduce you to a new consideration: the method of identification you apply to your mice.
. . .
Lab mice are social animals and suffer stress if housed alone, but in the common convention of group housing, they often fight. Consequences can range from the cosmetic – a scratch here, a tail bite there, to the concern – constant bullying and more severe fight wounds, to the catastrophic – an animal so abused it needs to be isolated or even euthanized. It happens in many studies using C57BL/6 male mice, which happen to be the most commonly studied strain, and current NIH guidelines tell us to use both sexes in studies.
Many trials have been done, and products designed, to minimize the impact of fighting in research mice. An interesting study in 2017 looked at numerous factors – weaning age, housing density, room temperature, enrichment. They found that none of these factors produced a meaningful reduction in fight wounds. Only one factor was recommended as a practical means to reduce the incidence of fight wounds in their studies.
How big of a concern is it that mice sometimes fight?
C57BL/6 mice are the most commonly used in biomedical research, especially when we consider the vast majority of genetically engineered mouse lines that have arisen from or been bred to this strain. Before going into any research parameters, one factor stands out: the second leading cause of unplanned death (to include euthanasia) in this strain is the aggressive behaviors of male mice. The loss of animals off study to this cause is troubling enough, and the matter is worsened when we consider injurious behavior that falls short of triggering a call for euthanasia must certainly affect the baseline biology of these animals. Access to food and water, immune responses, subclinical wounding and localized infection, and various elements of the stress response all mean the same thing: research studies where aggression occurs, detected or not, may be affected, are less reproducible, and the very outcomes should be considered in light of the collateral affect of aggression on some study members.
What has been tried to reduce fighting?
Many anecdotal fixes have arisen to address this phenomenon. Selection of one particular source, a commercial vendor, over another may be based on an observation of more (or less) aggression in one eventful study. The introduction of cage enrichment is larger held as helpful to reduce cage mate aggression, though studies have found contrary results. The authors review a variety of practices that produce mixed results.
A controlled study to assess causes of fighting.
This particular study (Gaskill, Garner, Winnicker, Pritchett-Corning, 2017, Lab Animal) takes a controlled look at the matter. Genetic components and social impacts through husbandry were monitored in sourcing mice from the major commercial vendors (CRL, Envigo, Taconic, The Jackson Lab). Animals were maintained under barrier conditions and their health reports indicated no viral or bacterial pathogens were present.
Experimental arms looked at different aspects of animal husbandry. Weaning age, Cage density, age environment (enrichment), room temperature, room activity level (cage changes). The authors hypothesized that one or more of these environmental factors would affect the behavior, and thus the aggression scores, in a statistically significant subset of the animals.
Colder rooms helped, but this is not practical.
There were but two of the many parameters that affected the aggression scores. The first was room temperature. When room temperature was reduced from the standard 21°C to 15°C, aggression scores were significantly reduced. Empirical observations show that in colder housing conditions, mice spend more time huddled in the nest, as they desire a warmer temperature zone than even the caretaker-friendly 21°C. They do not lobby for running animal experiments at that temperature, as it would be a significant undertaking, would affect the human counterpart, and would demand new baseline data to replace decades of historical studies.
Method of Identification did make a difference!
The second parameter found to reduce the aggression scores was detected outside of initial hypotheses. Upon review of the data sets, it was found that a number of study groups were identified using a newly obtained piece of equipment. This equipment identified the mice by means of an automated tattoo upon the tail. This method allowed for easier observation of individual animal ID as the tattoo can be read without handling the animal, as is necessary to read ear punches used to identify the rest of the cohorts. Data analysis looking at animal ID as the sole variable did find a significant reduction in aggression score for all groups identified by the tattoo as compared to their otherwise identical study mates.
The need for identifying individual animals on study is a much understood requirement for statistical means and recording of individual behaviors. The method used for such identification is typically chosen by means of convenience or researcher preference with little or no concern for potential biologic impact. There are a number of methods approved by most IACUC, including ear tags, ear punches, tattoos and in certain circumstances toe-clipping. In this particular study, the two methods employed (both IACUC approved) were ear punches and the automated tattoo. The cumulative benefit of the tattoo method was a marked reduction in total aggression score.
A practical recommendation: Labstamp.
The authors left us with a recommendation that animal studies utilizing male C57BL/6 mice would be well advised to use the automated tattoo as the identification method to avoid the potential complications of aggression. This topic deserves greater study to understand what biological process may be involved in all methods of animal identification. In the meantime, choosing an ID method that is reliable and permanent, easily read from a distance, and promises to reduce aggression seems an easy and obligatory choice to make.
As Gaskill, et al concluded: “In terms of practical recommendations to reduce aggressive wounding in the home cage, tail tattooing is recommended over ear notching.”

About 30 Ohio University students and Athens County residents occupied Saturday’s National Collaboration Cadre Workshop, held in Grover Center. They occupied the workshop to protest the possible fracking in Wayne National Forest.
In 2011, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management announced the purchase of land for oil and gas drilling purposes, according to a previous Post report. Since then, the federal government has gone back and forth considering developing a fracking plan.
The workshop, coordinated by the U.S. Forest Service and themed “Working Together to Improve the Quality of Life in Southeast Ohio,” invited dozens of groups from around the Wayne National Forest area to discuss topics ranging from economic development to forestry and wildlife issues.
The occupiers asserted that the invitation-only event excluded members of the community who wish to participate in environmental conversations, particularly about fracking.
“While we are completely supportive of the inclusion of community groups in the U.S. Forest Service’s decision-making process, we believe that sitting down with the oil and gas industry is not in the best interests of our community,” the Appalachian Ohio Group of the Sierra Club said in a news release.Although occupiers were not invited to the meeting, they were permitted to take part in the workshop’s group discussions once they arrived, and some participants in the workshop supported their cause.
“I think (the occupiers) should be here,” Roxanne Groff, a Bern Township trustee, said. “They have a voice.”
While conversations turned to fracking, occupiers were still not satisfied with the discussion that happened.
“Obviously this decision (to frack) has already been made,” Caitlyn McDaniel, a first-year graduate student at OU, said. “It’s not a democratic process.”
Some local residents and business owners also came without invitation. Madeline Ffitch, a Millfield resident and landowner, said the occupiers were showing the U.S. Forest Service they would show up when those discussions are being had, regardless of invitation.
“The Forest Service is making decisions (and) having closed-door meetings,” she said. “The anti-fracking sentiment (in the community) has been overwhelming.”
Mimi Morrison, who owns Touch the Earth Adventures in Hocking Hills, said she worries about the effect fracking would have on the land around her.
“I utilize the natural area of Southeast Ohio,” she said. “I came today because I’m aware that providing a sustaining environment does not go along with fracking. … This is a gift that we have here.”
Members of the workshop and employees of the U.S. Forest Service remained hopeful that conversations could continue. Jason Reed, an Athens Ranger for the U.S. Forest Service, said the purpose of the meeting was to continue to collaborate on many issues and oil and gas issues were not a primary focus.
“What we’re interested in is learning to work better together,” Reed said. “People need to understand this is their national forest.”
Maret Pajutee, a retired U.S. Forest Service employee and part of the Collaboration Cadre, said she had no problem with occupiers participating in the workshops.
“We heard 'Show up, listen and follow through' (from the community),” she said. “(There’s) been enough progress made that about 60 people donated their Saturday to talk about ‘how can we get along?’ ”
About five total officers were on site from the Ohio University Police Department and the U.S. Forest Service.
Despite the desire for collaboration, many occupiers remain unconvinced, including Samuel Holman-Smith, a freshman studying history.
“It’s not even a collaboration,” he said. “It’s, ‘We already made this decision, how do you feel about it?’ ”
Abbey Marshall and Maisee Fried contributed to this report.

Stiffness and soreness in the shoulder joint are symptoms of this illness. People with diabetes and those who have had their arms immobilized for a long time are more likely to develop the condition. Symptoms may appear gradually and fade away over the course of one or two years. Stretching and, on occasion, naturopathy/ayurvedic treatment are used to treat the condition.
The tissue that connects the forearm muscle to the elbow is irritated. Repetitive wrist and arm motions can lead to tennis elbow. The most common symptom is pain. It mainly affects the outside of the elbow, although it can also affect the forearm and wrist. Rest, pain-relieving ayurvedic therapies and physiotherapy are all options for treatment.
Your joints, tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles are all affected by rheumatic disorders. Many types of arthritis, a term for illnesses that damage your joints, are among them. Musculoskeletal illnesses are another name for them. Joint discomfort is a common symptom.
A lack of blood supply causes bone tissue to die. Long-term steroid use and excessive alcohol consumption are linked to avascular necrosis. It affects the hip and is most common in adults between the ages of 30 and 60. Symptoms may be absent in the early stages. When weight is placed on the afflicted joint or when lying down, it may eventually hurt. Physiotherapy, naturopathy, and panchakarma are all options for treatment.
Knee pain affects people of all ages and is a frequent problem. An injury to the knee, such as a burst ligament or torn cartilage, can cause pain. Knee discomfort can also be caused by medical disorders such as arthritis, gout, and infections. Self-care strategies work well for many types of minor knee pain. Knee braces and physical ayurvedic therapy might also help reduce pain.
When the flexible tissue at the ends of bones wears down, it causes arthritis. The deterioration of the protecting tissue (cartilage) at the ends of bones occurs gradually and gets worse with time. The most common symptom is joint discomfort in the hands, neck, lower back, knees, or hips. Pain relief and joint mobility can be achieved through ayurvedic treatment and rehabilitation.

According to research by Payroll and HR firm Moorepay, workers in the Midlands are 24% more likely to suffer an accident at work compared to the rest of the UK.
The same research suggests that specifically, workers in the city of Birmingham suffer twice as many fatal accidents at work compared to the rest of the country.
Birmingham’s figures are indicative of the Midlands as a whole, as West midlands ranked second worst region in the UK for workplace injuries, with the East Midlands ranked as worst of all.
The chances of suffering a workplace accident in the East Midlands region is 371 per 100,000 workers, compared to a national average of 301. These figures represent an additional 1,607 workers injured over the course of a year.
Phil Barker, Head of Health and Safety Services at Moorepay, said,
“No region wants the reputation as the UK’s most dangerous place to work, but unfortunately the case for the East Midlands is very strong,”
While the region is making improvements, employers and employees must be made aware of the number of health and safety risks and workplace injuries.
Workplace health and safety must be of paramount importance to organisations. They have an obligation to provide a safe working environment and minimise risk. This starts by having a clear process in place, with regular risk assessments at the very least.

HANA Center was created in 2017 when Korean American Community Services and Korean American Resource and Cultural Center merged, joining together with the goal of empowering Korean American and multiethnic immigrant communities through social services, education, and outreach in the Chicago area.
The organization provides critical services that range from immigration and workforce programming to housing counseling and youth organizing. HANA Center serves a broad base; while focused on empowering Korean, Asian American, and multiethnic immigrant communities, the center serves women, youth, people of color, low-income families, the elderly, LGBTQ+ individuals, and adoptees.
When it comes to housing, HANA Center provides housing counseling while also acting as a general resource hub, especially for community members who need assistance translating materials from English to their native language. Many people in need of housing assistance know there are programs that could help, but don’t know specifics or how to apply. HANA Center currently offers all their forms in English, Spanish, and Korean in an effort to make vital information more accessible. Without translated housing program materials, “they couldn’t know the details about the program. That’s how we came to know that there was a huge barrier to information access, and we developed our program from there,” says Jeonghwa Yi Boyle, Citizenship, Immigration, Legal & Housing Services Director.
HANA Center’s Housing Team doing community outreach
HANA Center partnered with the Cook County Assessor’s office to bring a property tax appeal workshop for clients
Accessibility remains a large part of the organization’s mission, and that is evident in their programmatic work. HANA Center’s HUD-certified housing counselors support limited English-speaking Korean Americans and multiethnic immigrants as they seek to obtain and keep affordable homes, with a focus on renting, foreclosure prevention, and budgeting. Counselors also assist older adults as they seek to apply for public housing for elders.
In addition to their housing counseling program, staff at HANA Center have assisted homeowners and renters in understanding and applying for the financial assistance through the Illinois Homeowner Assistance Fund and the Illinois Rental Payment Program respectively. Both of these programs were essential in helping Illinoisans throughout the pandemic.
Prior to the pandemic, most of their clients were those over the age of 65 years. However, as people of all ages began experiencing more financial hardship, HANA Center saw much younger individuals seeking housing services. “Our clients’ age became younger,” Yi Boyle says when discussing how HANA Center adjusted to meet needs during the pandemic. “More people are in need of assistance, and we are here to help them.”
Meanwhile, because the center provides such a broad range of services alongside their housing program, they are able to address the intersectional issues that many of their clients—regardless of age—are experiencing. Even when they do not offer a needed service in-house, they are quick to give references, guiding clients throughout the process and ensuring they receive the appropriate assistance.
All of this work ties back to HANA Center’s vision: A world with social, racial, and economic justice for all people, one that is accessible in all ways.

Statistically speaking, there are about 6% of the total population in the United States who rely on the services offered by chiropractors. They are known as experts in treating chronic pain in many parts of the body. Just like doctors, they also have various areas of specializations. Although they mostly treat people with sports-related injury and accidents, chiropractors also treat other patients with different chronic pain.
Keep in mind that when talking about chiropractors, these professionals are not to be mistaken as medical doctors. They do not hold any medical degrees, but rather they have received extensive training and certifications in chiropractic care. When searching for chiropractor Lexington, SC, carefully consider these four points.
Search for chiropractors who can serve your needs. As previously stated, chiropractors also have various specializations when it comes to offering their care. A chiropractor Lexington, SC who is an expert in neck injuries is not the best specialist to speak with if you have incurred a sprain on your ankles because of playing basketball. Check all the details about the practice like their location, whether their provider is bilingual, and the other services they offer.
It would also be best if you give careful consideration to your insurance coverage. Most insurance nowadays cover chiropractic care. If it doesn’t, keep in mind that sessions with your chiropractor can get expensive and in most cases, you will be asked to return for another session until your pain disappears. Give your insurance company a call to validate if they offer such benefit in your policy.
The majority of chiropractor Lexington, SC offer free consultation. It is best to take advantage of this offering instead of booking an appointment right away with the practitioner. You cannot expect to get the same exact results from the same chiropractor just because you were referred by a friend. It would be best to check with the chiropractor first and see what they can do for you. Additionally, this would be an opportunity for you to check if you are comfortable with the person.
It is important to only book a session with a chiropractor who can answer all your questions in detail. Any chiropractor who will leave you with a lot more questions is not an ideal partner for your treatment. A Lexington, SC chiropractor should carefully explain to you everything so you’d have an idea of the treatment plan. Keep in mind that it is your body that is being subjected to all the sessions so you have the right to know every single detail.
It won’t be that long that you can completely heal when you start working with the right Lexington, SC chiropractor. A chiropractor should always have your health as their best interest and they will do anything they could to get rid of your pain.

Gavaskar loses cool as fans ‘mob’ him for autographs
Mohali: Fans making a beeline for autographs and photographs outside the commentary box during the third India-Australia Test, left the legendary Sunil Gavaskar fuming after their over-enthusiastic chatter ‘disturbed’ him while on the job.
The incident happened in the afternoon on Monday, at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium here.
Taking advantage of the lax security in the AC lounge on the third floor of the stadium, some fans mobbed former Australian batsman Matthew Hayden, who like Gavaskar, was doing English commentary for the match.
The fans got autographs and photographs with Hayden.
After this, former Indian batsman Sanjay Manjrekar, who is also a commentator for the match, came out and had to oblige the fans` autograph requests.
The commotion outside miffed Gavaskar, who had earlier come out to attend a phone call.
"Have you come to watch a match here or what? Do you realise that this noise reaching inside is disturbing us," an angry Gavaskar said.
He told the fans to take their seats and not shout outside the commentary box.
A dozen odd Punjab police personnel, who were sitting on empty seats in the lounge, suddenly got alerted while few PCA officials also took note.
A source said, a couple of days back senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar had also been left irritated by some over enthusiastic fans.

WASHINGTON (FinalCall.com)-On the eve of the second anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks, President George W. Bush said he will ask Congress for a staggering $87 billion in emergency spending for military operations and reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan–the two wars where he has sent troops during the last two years in the name of “Homeland Security.”
Iraq, Mr. Bush said in a nationally televised prime-time address Sept. 7, has now become “the central front” in his declared war against terrorism.
The $87 billion he’s now requesting is larger by $17 billion than the largest pre-speech estimates, and would come on top of the $79 billion that Congress approved in April for the initial costs of the war and its aftermath.
The President has seen new questions about troop levels and even muted calls for him to change course in Iraq raised by Republicans and renewed outright criticism voiced by Democrats about almost every aspect of his handling of the war and its mounting casualties.
While the confrontation with Iraq’s deposed President Saddam Hussein initially made Mr. Bush’s popularity skyrocket, public confidence in his handling of Iraq has dropped since the war. The latest Zogby America poll said that Mr. Bush has dropped to the lowest approval ratings of his presidency. The poll reported that 54 percent of Americans rated Mr. Bush’s performance as fair or poor, while only 40 percent said he deserved to be re-elected.
The Sunday evening speech was Mr. Bush’s first speech on Iraq since May 1, when he stood on the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and declared an end to major combat operations. He made no mention of the administration’s failure to find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, nor did he predict how long American troops would remain there.
Playing on patriotic themes, Mr. Bush said the United States has “done this kind of work before. Following World War II, we lifted up the defeated nations of Japan and Germany and stood with them as they built representative governments. We committed years and resources to this cause.”
Mr. Bush warned, however, that in this country “there will be no going back to the era before September 11, 2001, to false comfort in a dangerous world. We have learned that terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength; they are invited by the perception of weakness.”
A fresh burst of Democratic criticism followed the speech. “Let’s be clear–a 15-minute speech does not make up for 15 months of misleading the American people on why we should go to war against Iraq, or 15 weeks of mismanaging the reconstruction effort since we have been there,” said Democratic presidential frontrunner Howard Dean.
Mr. Bush has “been going down the wrong path,” said Rep. Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.), another White House hopeful.
Describing Iraq as the central front in the war against terror, Mr. Bush said the “enemies of freedom are making a desperate stand there, and there they must be defeated.”
“This will take time and require sacrifice,” he said. While saying the United States has enough troops in Iraq, Mr. Bush said American commanders have requested a multinational division to serve alongside similar units led by Britain and Poland.
Following the speech, Britain’s Ministry of Defense said that country will send two additional battalions to Iraq, adding 1,200 troops to its forces already there. Britain now has 11,000 troops in the country.
Some countries have sought an explicit UN peacekeeping authorization, and Mr. Bush said Secretary of State Colin Powell would seek a Security Council resolution to authorize deployment of new forces. The President himself will address the UN General Assembly in mid-September.
French officials said Mr. Bush’s speech, urging the international community to settle its differences over Iraq and back an American-drafted UN resolution, offered prospects of an agreement according to published reports.
There needs to be a greater sense of urgency on the part of administration officials concerning the U.S. infrastructure and closing vital gaps in the homeland security network, according to Democrats in Congress who offered a comprehensive analysis of Mr. Bush’s policies, as well as the actions of the Republican controlled House and Senate.
The federal government must share and coordinate information, as well as provide police, firefighters and emergency medical personnel in every community with equipment–especially a secure communications network, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the House Minority Leader told reporters Sept. 5. Sadly, she said, on Sept. 11, 2001 firefighters and police had no means of communicating with one another at Ground Zero.
In addition, borders must be monitored, security and customs inspections must be tightened at all U.S. ports, cargo must be inspected before it boards passenger aircraft, and vital bridges, chemical, nuclear and power facilities–which are still not secured two years after 9/11–must receive additional safeguards.
“I don’t think the question is ‘are we safer than we were on Sept. 10?’ The question is are we as safe as we can be?” Mrs. Pelosi said in response to a question from The Final Call. “We’ll never have a 100 percent guarantee of safety, but the question is, are we as safe as we can be? It’s very important to note that over and over again, we have been calling for a real commitment to homeland security.
“We need the additional equipment. We need the additional training. We need the additional personnel in order to respond and, more importantly, to prevent.”
“The American people are afraid,” said Congressional Black Caucus member Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas) in response to the question, “and they want us to grab for them the same sense of urgency–not fear–in protecting them. Our administration and this government has less than a passing grade on infrastructure dealing with the energy grid.”
Militarily, despite the success of this country’s “shock and awe” campaign in Iraq, and the massive projection of force there, in the four months since Mr. Bush’s dramatic declaration that major hostilities were over, U.S. casualties have risen steadily, to the point where more have died in the aftermath of the war than during the combat phase.
Those mounting casualties have resulted in first a trickle, and now a stream of protests from not only the families of military service personnel serving in the Iraqi theater, but from active duty service members, as well.
In New Orleans on Sept. 8, a military jury found an anti-war U.S. Marine reservist guilty of unauthorized absence and sentenced him to six months in jail for refusing to report to his unit during the Iraq war.
Lance Cpl. Stephen Funk, 21, says he was singled out for prosecution because he was a conscientious objector who spoke at anti-war rallies. To date, he is the only one of 28 Marine Corps conscientious objectors to the Iraq war to face prosecution. The military says he was the only one who did not report for duty.
Family members of other veterans now deployed in Iraq are also now raising their voices, promising they will join former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and his Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (International A.N.S.W.E.R.) Coalition in an anti-war, anti-Iraqi occupation march and demonstration to the Pentagon and U.S. Justice Department on Oct. 25.
“A month ago, my son-in-law came home and I was so glad,” Gloria Jackson told reporters Sept. 3 at the National Press Club in Washington. “He spoke to me over the phone. He says that ‘I want my wife home, because if she doesn’t come home, I’m going to start something.’
“I told him, don’t do that. Let me be the one to speak out to say, let’s bring the troops home. Because this is an unfair war. I wish that Bush had never sent our troops over there.
“Sometimes I feel very upset because I could not afford to send my daughter to college. I talked her into going into the Army,” Ms. Jackson said. She was not alone.
“We stand with Stephen Funk and the other young people who have said no to George Bush’s racist and illegal war,” Epia Nwangaza, from the Not in Our Name Project, said at the National Press Club. Her niece is on her first tour, and her nephew is on his second tour in the Persian Gulf.
“We call on people of all backgrounds to join the movement and build the resistance to the U.S. government’s open-ended war on the world; to resist the U.S. government’s efforts to use the language of fear–the so-called War on Terrorism; to use the cover of Sept. 11th’s grief and hysteria to implement a long-standing agenda of global empire domestic compliance and acquiescence.”
Mr. Bush was warned about the chorus of anti-war demonstrations, which is rising again in this country, by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in letters written in December 2001 and October 2002. “The anti-war demonstrators will blame every death of an American service person and every death of an Iraqi citizen on you and this will produce a crisis for your administration within the United States, as well as in countries throughout the world,” the Nation of Islam leader predicted.
Those sentiments can be heard in the voices of those preparing to march again in Washington in October of this year.
“The United States cannot be trusted,” said Mr. Clark at the National Press Club Sept. 3 as he announced the Oct. 25 demonstration and his organization’s petition–already signed by 300,000 people–to impeach Mr. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney.
“While this government is in power, it will continue its ways. It really believes it has the right to change regimes–Afghanistan, Iraq, Liberia,” said Mr. Clark. The U.S. is spending millions right now to create difficulties for governments it does not like in Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, he said.
” If, we don’t remove this government for its crimes, it will lead us into further difficulties. Above all, the United States and the people of the United States risk losing their character.”
The U.S. detention base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba is an example of the worst effect of what Mr. Clark describes as the wrong-headed prosecution of this country’s “illegal” wars against Afghanistan and Iraq.
“Don’t we see what we’re holding up to the whole world. The U.S. will torture. The U.S. will hold people and won’t tell a soul who they are. You see them limping out. You hear of 29 suicide attempts, four teenagers as young as 13. And we believe in freedom? It makes the Patriot Act look like the Bill of Rights, which the Patriot Act itself shreds.”
In the first full year of the Bush presidency, Mr. Clark complained, “We’ve got 1.3 million more people in poverty last year than ever before.”
Meanwhile, USA Today, reported that the monthly bill for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan now actually rival the Pentagon’s average monthly spending during the Vietnam conflict. Just like the Vietnam War was, “the invasion of Iraq and the war against the people of Iraq was also built on lies,” according to International A.N.S.W.E.R. Following Mr. Bush’s leadership, the U.S., in fact is already bogged down in a “quagmire in Iraq, just as the U.S. got bogged down in a war based on “fraud and lies” in Vietnam, according to the coalition.
“The Iraq invasion and the Iraq war is a fraud and a lie. The fraud and the lie is to convince the people of the United States to support the war, or at minimum to acquiesce in a criminal endeavor being taken by the government of this country,” according to A.N.S.W.E.R.
“They have asked and demanded that the people of the United States sacrifice $4 billion, $6 billion, more than that every month, while they see their libraries closed, while they see their public hospitals closed, while they wonder whether or not they can pay for college for their children,” the anti-war coalition argues.
A.N.S.W.E.R. insists that it doesn’t help for the administration to reach out and ask that its “criminal occupation force” be internationalized by United Nations troops. “What must happen is that the troops be brought home.”
The coalition that Mr. Bush gathered prior to his attack on Afghanistan has already fallen away, just as Min. Farrakhan predicted in his letter to the President in December 2001. “I am afraid that this extended war may take a turn that you and your advisors least expect, and involve America in the greatest of all wars, the War of Armageddon, in which no nation will be left out, including Russia and China,” the letter read.
“Mr. President, if you do this, you will bring down upon America an increase in the Divine Judgment of rain, hail, snow, wind, earthquakes, pestilence and famine that is already witnessed in the country,” Min. Farrakhan warned in his letter last October. “As you go about destroying other nations and cities, you will bring this kind of Divine Wrath on the American people and on American cities. Please reconsider your plans.
“I believe there is a better way to win. A way that may appear more difficult, but you will be assured of the Help of Allah (God).
“Mr. President, it will take great courage on your part to look at America’s policies with a critical eye, and, it will take even greater courage to break from the policies of the past and make a new beginning for this nation and the world,” the Muslim leader advised.

A new index is needed. It should be transparent and inclusive to allow Western nations who benefit from the proceeds of corruption in Africa to desist from playing the ostrich about moral virtue. Rather they should learn to obey the simple table manners that it is wrong to talk while eating.
The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), a flagship research product of Transparency International, is arguably one of the advocacy tools most used to demand institutional change. It has drawn international attention to the issue of corruption, and many global organisations depend on the Index’s findings to make powerful decisions about where to locate their capital. In these days, marked by economic turmoil arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, resources are scarce and decisions about their allocation are too crucial to be wished away; and year after year, developing countries often await the publication of the CPI with some anxiety, almost sure to find themselves embarrassingly at the bottom of the list.
The CPI’s Contribution To the Interrogation of Development Processes
The default position of many African states is to hail the CPI report when they make any marginal progress in the ranking and condemn it when they regress on its scale. Such efforts have done very little to undermine the prominence of the CPI as the lens through which the world perceives such countries. Certainly, the CPI has contributed significantly to the interrogation of the development process, and it has become so popular that checking CPI rankings is now part of due diligence for many multilateral institutions before decisions on aid or investment are made.
There are concerns, however, about the magisterial verdict the CPI conveys. Arguably many scholars from the continent have been reluctant to engage the CPI rigorously and with a contextual lens concerned about the realities on the ground.
‘Corruption research’ in Africa is a particular victim of schools of thought seeking Western validation. For a concept that is both powerful and political, it is surprising to see a lack of nuanced interrogation of the role of the international forces benefitting from corrupt practices.
Culpability of Both Perpetrators and Beneficiaries of Illicit Flows
Many scholars see the corruption conversation as a mythical blame game designed to make Africa look bad in the eyes of the world. Of course it takes two to tango. Let us believe the prevailing narrative that African politicians loot resources from their home countries and transfer these through western banks elsewhere. So often the names of these banks and their home countries are conspicuously missing from dirty lists of corrupt nations. For something as simple as bribery, both the giver and the receiver are guilty, and a system that is reluctant to indict both, such as in the case of illicit financial flows, is at best hypocritical.
Corruption, as promoted by the CPI, is said to account for only 5 per cent of illicit financial flows out of Africa. Another chunk of $900 billion leak out of developing countries with the collusion of multinational corporations through questionable tax practices. Why are these considered separate? To date, most tax havens and secrecy jurisdictions exist within the territories of countries who are on the top of the CPI ranking. It is surprising that the existence of these dark spots is conveniently omitted from the global corruption narrative, especially as about 40 per cent of global foreign direct investments is said to pass through such locations. The efforts of those who try to associate the so-called persistent corruption in Africa with the historical residue of colonialism in Africa are ignored to absolve the colonisers. There appear to be two sets of rules – one for the perpetrators and another for the beneficiaries.
Why Are African Scholarly Voices Submerged In Western Orthodoxy?
‘Corruption research’ in Africa is a particular victim of schools of thought seeking Western validation. For a concept that is both powerful and political, it is surprising to see a lack of nuanced interrogation of the role of the international forces benefitting from corrupt practices. Indeed, some African scholars feature on CPI to give it underserved legitimacy. In doing so, structural issues embedded in international processes are missed: The continent’s natural resource endowments, sold on global markets and produced largely by global actors, have not been the blessings that many have expected. Real efforts must be made to understand how these endowments can produce prosperity for a majority of citizens and avoid a detour into the pockets of parasitic elites.
Many critical voices have made it clear that the CPI looks at corruption from a distorted prism. They insist that it will fare better with more methodological rigour, improved statistical validity and limited unsubstantiated conclusions.
Instead, many donor countries continue to spend billions of dollars on combatting corruption in African institutions, to which the continent is expected to be perpetually grateful. Yet the reality on the ground dispels the illusion that even these investments have yielded significant outcomes.
We Need A New Conversation
In the end, notions of corruption and anti-corruption efforts will continue to serve political and public relations objectives; in so far as the West continues to be rule makers in the arena of corruption and anti-corruption endeavours for the rest of the world, it will be easy to predict who the winners and losers in the game will be.
Many critical voices have made it clear that the CPI looks at corruption from a distorted prism. They insist that it will fare better with more methodological rigour, improved statistical validity and limited unsubstantiated conclusions. Activities like corruption are always shrouded in secrecy and therefore measuring them largely leaves the researcher to rely on speculations. That said, such efforts must try to reflect contextual and cultural pluralities, as what may be seen as corruption may differ from place to place. African scholars must rise to position themselves to participate fully in this cross-examination. At the end, those behind the Index should be bold enough to engage with dissenting voices to bring their analysis closer to the reality, using it to create a discussion that balances how things really are, alongside the effectiveness of proposed reforms needed to address them. There is no dignity in prescribing medications to cure diseases somewhere else while turning a blind eye to similar infections ravaging your backyard. A new index is needed. It should be transparent and inclusive to allow Western nations who benefit from the proceeds of corruption in Africa to desist from playing the ostrich about moral virtue. Rather they should learn to obey the simple table manners that it is wrong to talk while eating.

Boats move, and Faction in Tehatamani Harbor
Just hours after I made this post yesterday about how someone had parked their boat right on top of the riftway and I found it frustrating, I came back to the harbor to find that they had moved their boat (or someone had moved it for them, either way)! It made me giggle and I just had to get a screen shot of it.
I did the first two quests in Tehatamani Harbor, turned them in and got two shards. Right clicked the necklace I had also gotten from the Lucent Circle and it upgraded the piece for me. Went to a new NPC, picked up two more quests. These quests only reward coin, and they appear to be repeatable tasks. One makes you kill 100 creatures around the pyramids, and the other makes you collect 50 vials of liquid from these same creatures. As a blood mage I’m primarily a healer, but it’s basically a necromancer healer. You heal via life taps off of mobs. If I’m not damaging mobs, I’m not healing. The mobs are level 46 or so around this area, at level 43 that’s red. Still, they’re two dots and can be taken down, it just means that my spells don’t always land, and the fights tend to be a little drawn out. I killed the first 100 mobs and gathered my 50 vials in about an hour and a half, maybe slightly more. Went back to the NPC who gave me my 5 silver (ew, repairs were 9 silver) and gave me the exact same quests.
Double ew. I wasn’t sure why they were just giving me the same quests over again, so I checked online and it looks like I need level 44 in order to move up in the ranks.
That’s alright. I headed off next to Vsurog Moor, which is where I’ll be living pretty much from 45-50. At level 45 I can begin to work on faction for the swamp armor that everyone talks about. I’ll be going into more detail about this when I get there. It’s pretty nice armor, and should keep me fairly busy. Rumor has it that Growlius (Dreadknight partner in crime) may be coming back to the game this weekend. That would totally rock, I may put out some nice dps some times but I can’t actually tank, being a cloth wearer and all. For the odd person out there who IS playing VG (I know the numbers may be few) if you’re looking for a friendly guild with a very active player base, check out Safe Haven on the Seradon server.
Safe Haven has branches in multiple games (like a lot of guilds do these days) and have been established for quite a long time. In Vanguard there are over 585 members (as of today, yesterday someone deleted a few alts if you recall it being at 588!) and there is typically anywhere from 7-20 people on every night. I’d like to say ‘most’ people are PST, but there are a good amount in other time zones too. They’re friendly, organize guild events, and have a guild hall. They also have the trophies that get placed in halls, giving members some awesome buffs. You can either group up and hang out, or just do your own thing and have a social network, either way it’s fantastic. Just be careful, I hear Joodah bites.
After the few brief quests I did yesterday along with the killing, I’m 40% into level 43. I can’t complain that’s a pretty good portion into the level. I know 40-50 takes the longest, but I’m confident that before too long I’ll be there.

The PHED employee, Sunil Jangir (35), allegedly lured the teenager when she was alone at home. “Promising to get her a smartphone, the accused asked the girl to come along with him in his vehicle,” Brijesh Kumar Meena, the station house officer of Todabhim police station, told TOI quoting the FIR.
The accused took the girl to a friend’s house, raped her at knifepoint and dropped her at an isolated place before going to his office, Meena added. The girl narrated the incident to passers-by, who stopped the accused. They tied him to an electric pole and thrashed him, but did not inform police, and the accused managed to flee. The girl’s family later lodged an FIR of kidnapping and rape.
In Jhalawar district, a seven-year-old girl was raped by her 35-year-old neighbour three days ago. The minor’s parents lodged an FIR on Thursday. Accused Vishnu Dangi was arrested on Friday. Both the accused have been booked under IPC and Pocso Act.
(The victims’ identity has not been revealed to protect their privacy as per Supreme court directives on cases related to sexual assault)

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:19-21).
When we obey God and apply His principles, we receive incomparable blessings. I clearly remember the time the Lord said to me, “I am the all-sufficient God; I have need of nothing, but the need to give.” I was awestruck after hearing this in my spirit. It seemed like severe error at best and blasphemy at worst. After searching my heart and conferring with a trusted brother, I began to look at the Scriptures with a keen eye. It was all over the place: God is the pattern giver.
The first six chapters of Matthew are replete with direct and indirect references to giving. Jesus, as the pattern giver, teaches His disciples Kingdom principles regarding, giving. In Matthew 6:19-21, Jesus says, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Jesus wants all who apprehend His message to lay up treasures in heaven because He knows that where one’s treasure is, there his heart will be also. This is simple, yet so rich with thought-provoking clarity: “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). Paul teaches us in 1 Corinthians 7:31 that “this world is passing away.” Jesus does not want us to put our investments in what is passing away, but to place our hope in what is eternal.
Many of us unreservedly give time and resources to the Kingdom of God. This is not a waste! Jesus sees this as an investment in eternity! This investment will not fail, nor will there ever be a market crash because Jesus our Savior, Redeemer, and Deliverer holds all things together in Himself! He can never fail!
The mindset of giving comes from Christ. We cannot possess such an attitude without His Spirit indwelling us. I encourage you to be givers. The Scripture says, “give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over” (Luke 6:38). Again, I say to you, give of yourselves to the Kingdom of God.
In the parable about workers in the vineyard, Jesus quotes the owner of the vineyard as saying “go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you” (Matthew 20:4). Our just, righteous God will repay us for our work in His vineyard (Kingdom). We must give ourselves completely to Him, liberally, out of all of our resources into His Kingdom while there is still time!

Axle Service: I specialize in wheel bearing service. I go above and beyond the normal service and take each bearing down to clean metal and check for any hot spots, abnormal wear, or any visible damage to the bearings. If a bearing needs replaced, I always replace the bearing race as well as the bearing itself. All bearings are hand packed (this takes much longer, but is a better service). New grease seals are always used as well. I also check the brakes, and torque the lug nuts to the proper torque. This service runs $99.00 plus parts.
Roof Service: I will inspect your roof for seam cracking and any vent damage. I inspect the entire roof for its condition, then I will give an accurate estimate on repair costs. I do not have a one price fits all philosophy. Each service is different.
Plumbing: I can repair all plumbing issues from leaks, to toilets, to water heaters, etc.
Electrical Systems: I can repair the majority of electrical issues. I am in the process of getting fully certified in refrigerator and air conditioning repair, so I only do limited high level repairs on circuit boards.
Generator Service: I do all repairs and service for generators, including tune-ups and oil changes.
This list is only a portion of what I can do to help your RV experience be fantastic. Please give me a call and we can visit about any issues that you are dealing with.
