Tips To Reduce Hair Fall In Autumn Season
Hair fall in autumn is typical. Many individuals notice an increase in hair loss when the weather changes, particularly during the fall rains. Hair fall in autumn season may be corrected and even avoided simply by including a few simple habits into your everyday routine.
- Hair fall in autumn season is something everyone experiences. It is completely natural
- Hair fall in autumn is due to the body letting go of the extra protection offered by the hair from UV rays in summer
- With a few simple changes to your seasonal hair loss is fixable and preventable
As autumn approaches, there's a chill in the air, and the leaves slowly fall from the trees. Our hair, much like the trees, goes through a similar experience, where hair fall in the autumn season appears to increase. But don't worry. Hair fall in autumn season is fairly common. In the late fall and winter months, people may notice greater shedding. Seasonal hair loss is something that virtually everyone experiences, and there is usually no cause for concern.
Why Does Hair Loss Increase In The Autumn?
Hair follicles have a regular growth cycle. The life cycle of hair is divided into three separate stages - anagen, catagen, and telogen - in which hair growth is retained, regressed, and finally falls. About 90% of the hair follicles will be in the anagen phase or growing stage at any given point in time, and 10% will be in the resting or the telogen phase. To create room for fresh growth, persons in this period of their cycle shed their fully grown hair. The average individual sheds between 50 and 100 hairs every day, most of which go undetected. It's generally only noticeable when you brush your hair, and a few strands may end up on your pillow or towel.
When fall hits, this loss becomes much more pronounced. What is the reason behind this? In order to protect ourselves from UV radiation, we tend to hang onto more hair in the summer. Seasonal hair loss has been scientifically proven to be an evolutionary remnant from the requirement of additional hair during the hot summer months to shield the scalp from UV radiation. When the temperature cools and the sun becomes less harsh in the autumn, all of that protection isn't needed as much, which is why hair sheds in the fall. Furthermore, a lack of light alters hormones, which has a direct influence on hair development.
How To Reduce Hair Fall In Autumn Season
While hair fall in the autumn season is normal, it is nonetheless a source of anxiety among the general population. Losing hair at four times the typical pace may seem like it will radically alter your appearance, but your hair cycle normally returns to normal before it becomes noticeable to anybody other than you.
You might not be willing to wait for your hair to repair itself. However, nourishing your hair throughout seasonal shedding can assist in ensuring that after the six weeks of fall hair loss are complete, your hair will be stronger than ever. Fortunately, you may reduce excessive shedding in the autumn by incorporating a few basic behaviors into your daily routine.
Here are some hair care tips during the monsoon to help you reduce seasonal shedding:
Serums for Voluminous Hair and Scalp Treatment
Because they stimulate your follicles, volumizing hair and scalp serums are excellent for making your hair appear thicker and healthier. Hair serums with water- or oil-based solutions give hydration, protection, and styling advantages to the scalp or hair strands while remaining weightless. Hair loss serums promote a better scalp microbiota and hair follicle, which increases the number of hair fibers produced by each follicle. Good hair serum should include critical vitamins, minerals, and essential oils to boost your hair's appearance and make you feel great. Hair serums are soft enough to use every day or a few times a week, depending on the formula. Scalp serums can also help with issues such as buildup, inflammation, and dandruff.
During the lovely summer months, most people don't even need to think about deep conditioning treatments . However, in the fall, a deep conditioning program and your everyday conditioner may truly add thickness to your hair, especially if you believe that shedding is detracting from your appearance.
A good deep conditioner enters your hair follicles and hydrates them. Moisturized hair is less prone to fall; thus, it can help reduce shedding during the dry autumn months. Make sure you use the proper sort of conditioner for your hair and stick to your schedule.
Vitamins for Hair Growth
Maintaining an appropriate hair development diet can be difficult, especially when you feel like you're fighting a losing battle during the months of seasonal shedding. Including a hair development vitamin guarantees that you're nourishing your hair follicles from within and that you're getting the right amount. Vitamins and minerals are essential in maintaining a proper hair cycle, particularly in replacing the matrix cells of the hair bulb, which divide fast. Sufficient quantities must reach the scalp in order to feed it and promote optimal hair development. Dietary supplements comprising B vitamins, zinc, iron, sulfur amino acids, and selenium can be an effective supplemental therapy for seasonal hair loss during changes in season. Maintaining a steady vitamin regimen will encourage the growth of thicker, healthier hair.
Treatment with Keratin
Keratin is a protein that is naturally occurring in the human body. Keratin in your hair is what keeps it strong and healthy. Extra keratin derived from animal products such as wool and chicken feathers is commonly used in keratin treatments for hair. This treatment may produce hair that appears healthier and smoother. Professional keratin treatments can last up to six months, depending on how you care for your hair after the initial treatment. Keratin hair treatment will help to strengthen your hair and make it less prone to breakages, resulting in a more voluminous look.

Exfoliation Of The Scalp
Ingrown hairs can also form on your scalp, which can be painful and make your hair appear thinner. Scalp exfoliation is a common ingrown hair treatment that entails the use of manual or chemical exfoliants to remove oil, dead skin cells, and dandruff  from the scalp. Many hair experts believe that exfoliating the scalp on a regular basis is the key to healthier hair. Although hair is formed of dead skin cells, which is why getting a haircut doesn't hurt, the scalp is a live part of your skin. It, like the rest of your body, requires care and maintenance. Exfoliation must be done no more than twice a week.
Using The Right Products For Your Hair
Each individual is unique, and so is their hair. You will probably get a different outcome when you use the same hair product as someone with a comparable hair texture. It is essential to utilize hair products that are appropriate for your hair type. The right product will depend on your hair texture, porosity, shape, and scalp. Products that work well for one type of curly hair may harm another, and understanding your hair type will help you select how much shampoo to use and how much heat to use. Learning about your hair type is beneficial not only in the autumn but can help you rectify your hair issues year-round.
If you are unsure whether a product is suitable for you, get advice from a dermatologist.Additional read: Greasy Hair
Hair loss in the autumn season is normal, but minor tweaks in your hair care regimen can help lessen the environmental impacts on your hair.

Founded in 2007 in Lisbon, with a strong connection to the slender end, BOX is supported by creative foundations, possibly unexpected, capable of questioning pre-established architectural concepts and words. Using its original language, the atelier exhaustively explores the dialogue between form, place and function, in order to reach an explanation of the man on the farm. The rigor of the scale with the ratio of proportion is the obsessive theme in the dynamics of the atelier’s architectural project. We are not concerned about the difference; we are concerned about the monotonous discourse of normality.
The “creative box” BOX architects, takes on a fascination for the formal and spatial experimentation, grounded by a technical approach inseparable from the act of projecting. It is part of the nature of the ” BOX”, the constant search for archetypes that explain and represent evolution of the “act” of inhabiting the philosophical and human space, in a cultural and sociological understanding of the universe. Therefore, we depend on the constant challenge to our capacity to overcome, in the approach of the paradigm of architecture.

Netflix decided to leave the Cannes Film Festival entirely by decision of the festival's leadership to ban the films from competing unless they get a local theatrical release, according to a Variety report. The report includes an interview with Ted Sarandos, Netflix's content manager, who says the decision was made only after the escalation of tensions between the broadcast service and the Cannes artistic director, Thierry Frémaux. Netflix, although excluded from the competition, was told that it could still screen its films in Cannes, if it so wished. The company no longer attends any official capacity.
"We want our films to be on fair ground with all the other filmmakers," Sarandos tells Variety. "There is a risk that we intervene in this way and that our films and filmmakers receive disrespectful treatment at the festival, they have set the tone, I do not think it's good for us to be there."
"If Cannes chooses to be stuck in the history of cinema, that's fine."
Cannes announced for the first time the banning of Netflix last month, saying that films that want to compete for the prestigious Palme d'Or prize must have a theatrical release in French to be eligible. The change of rules, actually announced last year, only came into effect for this year's Cannes, which will take place in May. And the change of rules was only announced after the owners of theaters, filmmakers and French unions protested vehemently for the inclusion of Netflix Okja and The Meyerowitz Stories movies last year, the first time that Netflix competed in Cannes. The company had both day and date releases for both films, which means they were shown in theaters in some markets on the same day they were launched in their broadcast service. But Netflix did not show any movie in any French theater.
At that time, Frémaux and Netflix tried to negotiate a compromise in which Netflix would ensure a last-minute theatrical release and a week in France to compete. But the company could not avoid the regulations of the French media that require that a film be kept out of broadcast services for up to 36 months after a theatrical release. Frémaux still allows Netflix to compete; the company's films won no awards, and the crowd was booed by the crowd at the premiere of Okja. But the immense reaction led Cannes to institute the change in the rules and to comply with the Netflix ban last month.
"Last year, when we selected these two films, I thought I could convince Netflix to release them in theaters, I was presumptuous, they refused," Frémaux told The Hollywood Reporter at the time. "The folks at Netflix loved the red carpet and would like to be present with other movies, but they understand that the intransigence of their own model is now the opposite of ours." Frémaux, like many members of the French film industry, sees broadcasting services not only as existential threats to the film and theater business, but as threats to the very nature of cinema as art that should be experienced collectively in a theater.
"We hope the rules change, we hope they will be modernized, but we will continue to support all the films and all the filmmakers, we encourage Cannes to meet with the world film community and we welcome them," Sarandos tells Variety. "Thierry had said in his comments when he announced his change that the history of the Internet and the history of Cannes are two different things, of course, they are two different things, but we chose to be about the future of cinema, if Cannes chooses to be caught in the movie history, it's fine.

If you are looking for the Beginners Guide to Free Motion Quilting Book Tour you will find it here :)
This weekend my twin sister, Jennifer, and my mom and dad visited. It is so much fun to have family come and stay!! Whenever my mom comes we always spend a few hours in my sewing room. Good Times!!! We go through the new quilts I have made since she was here last, I tell her of my new planned quilts and we ohh and ahh over the fabrics I will be cutting up soon. And we even get in a bit of sewing :) Jennifer joined my mother and I on this little sewing room escapade and after a while she asked, "Do you think I could make something like this??". Absolutely!!!!!
We surfed through my archive and she decided on a quilt design. It took her a little bit to narrow it down but in the end she decided to go with the Double Dresden idea only she will be adding the circles in the centers. She plans to make a twin size bedspread for her cute little girl. Once the design was chosen it was back to the sewing room for some fabric fun. She played and played in my stash until she came up with this beautiful pile!!!
And then it was a crash course in cutting as she only had 2 hours until she had to head back to Salt Lake!! She opted to have varying sizes of Dresden's so we cut some 8", 7", 6" and 5" blades. I can't wait to see them put together!!!
And speaking of cutting, I am about to start cutting my own new project!! Can I just say, I love Marmalade!!! It has been on my shelf for about a month now, awaiting it's turn to be played with. I am so excited to get going on it!!

Orsa & Winston
122 W 4th St
Los Angeles, CA 90013
Dining date: 4/15/17
It’s been some time since I’ve been to Orsa & Winston. This was my third visit here and it seems like the restaurant hasn’t changed too much. The food is still very much Italian and Japanese-influenced, although the menu does appear to feature vegetables more prominently. This isn’t surprising, reflective of chef Jose Centeno’s latest desire to cook/eat (his latest concept, P.Y.T., is almost vegetarian).
$85 buys six courses here with a couple of optional supplements that change often. Some of the ‘extras’ – an amuse bouche, a pre-dessert, and mignardises kind of makes it feel like a nine courser before supplements. If that’s still not enough, there’s still a 20-course super omakase is still available at the bar with advance reservation.
On this evening we opted for the regular tasting menu, adding both supplements.
compressed japanese cucumber, tempura, black garlic, scallion
mirugai, scallop, cara cara, sprouting broccoli, radish, sea bean
abalone, napa cabbage, wood ear mushroom, fiddlehead fern, walnut bagna cauda
miyazaki a5 wagyu, pee wee potato, butter bean, black garlic supplement
tempura of soft shell crab, romanesco, shishito, sugar snap pea, fermented chile
english pea angolotti, guanciale, asparagus, nettle, morel, hamu dashi
squid ink spaghettini, maine lobster, kumquat supplement
sonoma lamb, ramp, beet, red fife porridge, green garlic
housemade kombucha, citrus granita
torta de mais, harry’s berries, hazelnut, cherry blossom
crispy mochi tart, yuzu, raspberry
I really enjoyed this meal; it easily rank as one of the top meals so far this year. Maybe the menu just really aligned with my personal preferences, but I really liked the concept and ingredients of a lot of the dishes this evening. The first two courses really brought out the flavor of seasonal vegetables with pieces of sweet shellfish. One of my favorites of the evening was the agnolotti, with its creamy pea filling contrasted by salty bits of guanciale and warm dashi. The spaghetti was also excellent – chewy strands of pasta surrounded springy chunks of lobster. The lamb was tender and flavorful, complemented by the ramps and green garlic. The wagyu supplement was the lone miss. The thinly sliced carpaccio just didn’t stand up to the myriad of ingredients that was served on top of it; I missed the special richness of the beef. However, that dish hardly detracted fro the overall meal. I definitely hope to return soon.

I recently had the pleasure of attending Frost & Sullivan’s third annual African Excellence Awards Banquet, which was held in Johannesburg, South Africa. At the banquet, Frost & Sullivan recognized companies across a variety of industries in both regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in the areas of leadership, technological innovation, customer service and strategic product development. Over the last decade, Africa has made great strides – doubling its growth rate – and the companies honored by Frost & Sullivan have demonstrated leadership in meeting the unique demands of doing business in the region.
While it has been an exciting period of growth for the continent, there is still a great deal of work ahead. As I wrote in a recent post
, Internet penetration is expected to reach at least 20% by 2020, and mobile-to-mobile subscriptions are anticipated to cross the 20 billion mark. Much new infrastructure will be needed to support this expansion.
ECI currently has several large scale projects underway in the region, and we are looking forward to continuing our work with African telecoms operators in their transition to NGN. When we say we want to be ‘Your Partner for Growth,’ we really mean it!

PCE abatement plan reviewed by NMED
The New Mexico Environment Department said it is reviewing a plan to investigate the extent of chemical contamination at a site in Alamogordo that could threaten soil and groundwater.
The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and the former Acme Hometown Cleaners, a dry cleaning facility that was located at 901 10th Street, reached a settlement in September 2020, after testing by the New Mexico Superfund Oversite Section (SOS) detected contamination in a monitoring well it determined could be caused by the facility. The dry cleaning business has not been in operation since 2016, according to NMED.
The Stage 1 abatement plan was meant to better define the extent of the contamination of groundwater and soil by tetrachloroethylene. The chemical is also known as perchloroethene or PCE, and is common in dry cleaner solvent.
According to the New Mexico Department of Health website, PCE are often found in solvents used in dry cleaning, fabric manufacturing and wood processing. While PCE often evaporates into the air, but can seep into water and soil and is a known carcinogenic. Breathing air contaminated with PCE can cause dizziness, confusion and headaches, and direct contact with skin or eyes can cause irritation. Ingesting the chemical can cause mental confusion or possible loss of consciousness.
The level of PCE in groundwater at the site exceeded the concentrations set by NMED when the site was first tested in 2016. When it was last tested in August, according to the abatement plan, PCE levels continued to exceed state standards in the region where groundwater occurs at around 90 feet below the surface.
When SOS tested the soil near a wastewater sump - where the facility disposed of its waste - it found contamination in the soil and that soil vapor concentrations also exceeded NMED standards.
"... the sample results near the former wastewater sump indicated significant concentrations in soil and soil gas relative to protection of groundwater and vapor intrusion," the abatement plan read.
"It is assumed that wastewater containing some spent PCE was directly discharged to the former sump."
The plan was submitted by the site's owner Sandy Ochoa and designed by EA Engineering, Science and Technology, Inc.
As part of the agreement to remediate the issue a monitoring well and "soil vapor extraction system" were installed at the site, NMED indicated. The Stage 1 abatement plan called for additional measures, including more drilling and sampling at the site.
The plan also calls for a well inventory of any private or public wells within 1 mile of the site by the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer.
In addition a monitoring well will be constructed to continue sampling of the site from October 2022 through October 2023.
NMED has 60 days to review the plan and notify the site owners of its decision to either accept or reject the proposal.
As part of the NMED's work public meetings on the issue will be scheduled.
Cleanup of the site, NMED said, would not occur until a Stage 2 abatement plan and final site investigation report concluded.

Absolutely yummy. We use green chiles because we are all wimps when it comes to spicy! Like poster mentioned, it is nice to know exactly what is in the sauce. And it tastes better.
I needed a quick enchilada sauce for our dinner last night and found one similar to this in one of my cookbooks, the only difference is that mine uses tinned tomatoes rather than tomato sauce..makes a simple enchilada sauce with ingredients easily found in the pantry...fantastic!
This is my new house enchilada sauce. I made a chicken enchilada casserole for my husband's birthday, and poached the chicken in the sauce--this sauce--before baking. We thought the flavor was perfect, and the heat level can be easily adjusted. This is a real winner. Made for PAC Fall 09.
This turned out yummy! I used it to make bean anc cheese enchiladas and enjoyed very much! Thanks! Made for the Australean Recipe Swap-April.
This is an excellent base for enchilada sauce. I agree that I like knowing exactly what is in the sauce, and I don't care for the tinny taste of the canned ones I have tried. We like ours spicier than this recipe calls for so I altered the recipe by adding some jalapenos along with the anaheims and used Mexican chili powder instead of the cumin. Poured the sauce over ground beef enchiladas, topped with cheese, baked and enjoyed!

Although all London councils have disaster recovery procedures in place for electoral data, 40 percent have not tested them in the last 12 months, according to freedom of information requests made by disaster recovery specialists Databarracks.
The freedom of information requests were sent to all London Boroughs, the majority of which obliged with details on their business continuity practices, specifically in relation to electoral data.
Managing director of Databarracks, Peter Groucutt, says that 40 percent is an alarmingly high number to have failed to test, especially with the UK General Election taking place on 7th May. “It’s worrying that with the general election just a day away, many local councils have not tested that their procedures actually work in the event of a disaster. As expected, all councils that responded to our request had thorough backup and disaster recovery plans in place – which is excellent – but without testing, they could be proved useless at their time of need," said Mr Groucutt. “We always recommend performing a DR test at least once a year. At any time in the year councils are under scrutiny to keep sensitive data secure and systems running smoothly. So the run-up to a General Election, when the electoral roll is most important, it is vital to ensure your procedures are water-tight.”
Another concerning finding from the freedom of information requests is that the current RTOs (recovery time objectives) and RPOs (recovery point objectives) of many of the boroughs were relatively long.
Groucutt comments: “Most of the councils that did respond to us told us that their recovery time objective for electoral data was 24 hours, with some even as long as 7 days or in one case up to 2 weeks. It was also interesting to see that different councils have very different classifications for how critical the electoral register is. For some it is a ‘Priority 1’ system and requires the fastest recovery possible but for others there is no prioritisation, and for some the register is not included on their continuity list or would only be recovered on a ‘best-effort basis’. We put a lot of faith in IT infrastructure to just work. Imagine if a council thought its RPO was 30 minutes but when it came down to it, it was actually 48 hours? If they haven’t tested their DR capabilities, they really have no idea of how they’d cope should disaster strike at the very time that would cause most damage.”

This means that some practical concerns, such as the true economic life (how long the asset can be used) and salvage value (how much it may be worth at the end of the depreciable life), are not considered. The most important consideration for us in relation to depreciation is how it affects the tax bill. In order to see what is meant by this, we need to examine the differences between book and market asset values. The book value of any asset is the value recorded on period-ending accounting statements.

Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are commonly used among both competitive athletes and recreational athletes in order to gain a performance edge. Unfortunately, AAS generally carries a broad range of short term and long term adverse effects. These include endocrinological abnormalities, cardiovascular risks, psychological issues, and largely adverse effects on every organ system in the human body. While testosterone, and at times oxandrolone, are used for clinical purposes, AAS generally encompasses a very broad range of synthetic compounds that are used at high doses. In this case report, we look at a patient who has used the vast majority of common anabolic steroids over the past three decades and how these compounds may affect long-term metabolic and cardiovascular health. The purpose is to provide a primary care approach to this patient population.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are synthetic hormones that enhance human performance. Through their inception in the 1930s, their breadth has evolved and both recreational users and athletes readily utilize these agents for various purposes . AAS is largely divided into intramuscular injectable and oral forms. They are traditionally used in cycles ranging from several weeks to several months, though this has evolved in recent years to longitudinal use. Classically, an injectable testosterone ester is used as a base compound with several other injectable and oral compounds used in a cycle. While testosterone, and rarely other compounds, carry medical purposes, most compounds largely exist for performance enhancement reasons.
Anabolic steroids carry various side effects both in the short term and long term. Superficial side effects include androgenic alopecia and acne. Other immediate health effects can include hypertension and dyslipidemia. Orally consumed anabolic steroids are predominantly hepatotoxic, especially at higher doses that are used for performance enhancement. Some highly popular injectable steroids pose the risk of nephrotoxicity. These compounds also cause hormonal dysfunction, especially hypogonadism. Some of these adverse effects are seen from testosterone use, but many others are specific to the agents being used . There are also unpredictable long-term effects of certain anabolic agents including metabolic derangements and cardiotoxicity .
Testosterone is readily available for prescription use and most physicians who care for the appropriate patient population are able to oversee its usage . There is drastically increased difficulty for physicians when dealing with other anabolic steroids since nearly all of them are not sanctioned for medical purposes or even human use. However, there is a large growing population who has used or continues to use these agents. This creates the need for a greater understanding of these drugs, especially in the context of screening for adverse health effects. During the present time, there is no formal evidence-based guidance on screening anabolic steroid users for various pathologies. Physicians are likely to rely on national screening guidelines due to the lack of evidence on primary prevention in this patient population. Increased recognition of AAS and improved knowledge of this patient population is important, particularly given that over 1 million Americans have used anabolic steroids .
The patient is a 56-year-old Caucasian male who presented to the family medicine clinic for a general check-up for health maintenance. He has a past medical history of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), pituitary adenoma which was successfully treated with cabergoline, and extensive anabolic steroid use. He had no immediate medical or social concerns and he also denied any exertional chest pain or dyspnea. He was not on any prescription medications but did endorse recreational use of testosterone cypionate at 125 mg per week. Supplement use was significant for garlic tablets, tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) at 500 mg daily, resveratrol, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) at 600 mg daily, turmeric, vitamin C, fish oil at 3 grams daily, vitamin D at 5000 IU daily, coenzyme Q10, and n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) 1200 mg daily. He did not smoke tobacco and only drank alcohol socially. The patient had a blood pressure of 136/80. Body mass index was 35.6 kg/m2. Vital signs were otherwise normal. He had no abnormal physical exam findings and was in a low body fat percentage range on visual examination.
His anabolic steroid history was quite significant. He first began using anabolic steroids over thirty years ago and has used these agents in cycles up until the present day. This included a broad range of injectable and oral anabolic steroids. He had used various esters of injectable testosterone consistently since starting this regime. Other examples of anabolic steroids used included trenbolone, nandrolone decanoate, methenolone, stanozolol (Winstrol), boldenone undecylenate (Equipoise), oxymetholone (Anadrol), metandienone (Dianabol), and fluoxymesterone (Halotesin). These compounds were used sporadically in various cycles over the years.
Lab workup was obtained which included a complete blood count (CBC), creatinine, electrolyte panel, hemoglobin A1C, total prostate-specific antigen (PSA), lipid panel, and a basic liver function panel. The patient’s hemoglobin was elevated at 18.0 g/dl but his CBC was otherwise unremarkable. Creatinine was elevated at 1.4 mg/dl, likely due to high levels of muscle mass. Cystatin C levels were within normal limits which made kidney disease unlikely. Electrolyte panel along with liver enzymes and other liver function tests were normal, as was the patient’s PSA. Surprisingly, the patient’s hemoglobin A1C was elevated at 6.4%. Upon further inquiry, he had a prior hemoglobin A1C of 6.9% in the recent past which was never followed upon. His result was fully diagnostic for diabetes mellitus. What was surprising about this result, was the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus despite his low-body fat levels and very high levels of physical activity throughout his life. Lipid panel returned significant for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level of 168 mg/dl, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level of 52 mg/dl, and triglyceride level of 78 mg/dl.
Urine studies obtained included a urinalysis and urine protein: creatinine ratio, both of which were normal. More specialized tests were done to further risk stratify this patient and included apolipoprotein A-1 (159 mg/dl), apolipoprotein B100 (137 mg/dl) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels (hs-CRP) (1.5 mg/dl).
Electrocardiogram was obtained and was significant for left axis deviation but otherwise no other significant findings (Figure 1). An echocardiogram was done on a subsequent visit and revealed mild left ventricular hypertrophy and mildly decreased right ventricular function. The patient’s ejection fraction (EF) was 50%-55%. Of important note, he never had any significant hypertension documented throughout his life. These echocardiogram findings were suggestive of direct AAS induced biventricular effects.
On further follow up, there was a further inquiry made in regards to his hemoglobin A1C and his unexpected diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. The patient had a vague and possible family history of type 1 diabetes mellitus and had previously been evaluated for this at a younger age but never had a formal diagnosis made. This prompted an evaluation for possible latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). Fasting C-peptide levels were obtained and were 1.7 ng/ml. Insulin antibodies, Islet cell antibodies, and glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD) were obtained and negative. An autoimmune component was ruled out and his overall diagnosis was consistent with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The combination of this patient’s T2DM diagnosis, hyperlipidemia, borderline elevated blood pressure, and moderately elevated hs-CRP was consistent with metabolic derangements that are generally not seen in athletes who maintain lower body fat levels and engage in rigorous exercise. His echocardiogram findings were also abnormal for an athlete without chronic hypertension. The patient was placed on aspirin 81 mg daily. He was not amenable to statin therapy and opted for major lifestyle modification and niacin therapy for his dyslipidemia, though his LDL goal given his T2DM diagnosis would be <70 mg/dl. He was also started on an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor at a low dose to aid in his left ventricular remodeling and better optimize his hypertension.
This case highlights the potential need for extensive metabolic and cardiac evaluation in anabolic steroid users due to various unknown risks associated with long term AAS use. While there is some reasonable understanding of the effects of testosterone use alone, most anabolic steroids that are very commonly used are poorly studied and hence not well understood.
AAS use and exogenous supplementation of testosterone are very similar yet distinctly different. Exogenous testosterone is unlikely to cause direct pathologic cardiac effects and has been associated with some improved metabolic biomarkers . On the contrary, other anabolic steroids carry unknown metabolic risks. Worsened insulin sensitivity as a result of AAS usage has been previously described in the literature , but there is limited patient data to support it. A major limitation in assessing this patient population are numerous confounding variables such as supplemental use of insulin for weight gain purposes and excess body fat levels. The latter is most prominent among heavyweight powerlifters and strongman competitors. In contrast, athletes who maintain lower body fat levels generally do not develop major insulin resistance, especially in the absence of an autoimmune component .
Current screening guidelines by the United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommend screening for dyslipidemia in men starting at the age of 35, unless they have an identifiable risk factor for coronary artery disease . In addition, it is recommended to screen for abnormal blood glucose levels in those who are obese or have risk factors for diabetes, also starting at age 40 . Given the general association of athletes and optimal metabolic health, it is possible that physicians may minimize screening this patient population. Furthermore, cardiac screening in athletes with an electrocardiogram or echocardiogram is generally not advised. Yet there is consistent evidence that AAS can directly induce direct pathologic changes to the heart . Specific knowledge regarding AAS can help physicians more accurately screen this patient population, especially given many of the unknown long term side effects.
Anabolic steroids carry many potential and somewhat unknown long term risks, such as metabolic derangements and cardiac toxicity. Greater physician knowledge could be helpful in accurately screening these patients prior to serious complications. More research is needed to provide better insight on addressing this patient population.

The following are the most common causes and fixes of remote users having issues with MXIE when working remotely.
- Unable to log into MXIE from home or another remote location
- Can log into MXIE but MXIE sometimes freezes
- While on a call, the call gets disconnected
Try these steps in this order.
- It's possible that the Windows Firewall on your computer is preventing or killing the MXIE connection periodically. Turn off your computers Windows Firewall and see if the problem goes away. If the problem does go away, the problem is solved. If you want to have your computers firewall turned on, then you simply need to add port 5060 and the MXIE application as a safe in your firewall settings. If you are unsure how to do this, consult the MS/Windows website for steps on completing this.
- If you problem continues after trying step 1, it's possible your computers Virus Protection software is killing the connection or disabling the MXIE application. Turn off your Virus Protection and test to see if the problem goes away. If the problem doesn't occur again, then you will need to add MXIE as a safe application in your Virus Protection settings. For steps on doing this, consult your Virus Protection documentation or their website.
- Many times a home or remote router will have a setting turned on that affects MXIE working with the telephone system. In your router, it will be referred to as one of the following: SIPalg, SIPaware, SIP Transversal. Access your router or contact your internet provider and uncheck the box to deactivate SIPalg. Basically, SIPalg tries to "clean up" SIP traffic and we need your router to leave the packets alone.
- Contact your Telephone System (MX) Administrator.
Attention: MX Administrator
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, its possible that all the necessary ports on your firewall are not open to allow traffic from/to the remote MXIE user are open. Please check your firewall settings to make sure the following ports are open:
MXIE - Required Ports:
TCP ports 7100-7156, 7505 = allows MXIE connection to the PBX
UDP ports 3771, 5060, 33000-33070 = allows voice traffic to flow to/from the remote MXIE user from/to the PBX
Remote Phones - Required Ports:
UDP port 69, 123, 3000, 3771, 5060, 33000-33070

On a remote mountaintop, eight kids with guns watch over a hostage and a conscripted milk cow.
Monos is a weird film. Not the strangest I’ve seen by far, but with elements both narratively and visually that are both beautiful and bonkers that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled.
On a remote mountaintop in Latin America a rebel group of teenage commandos, belonging to a group called ‘the Organisation’, perform military training exercises and guard an American hostage. They live tranquil lives in relative peace. But when their position is compromised after an attack they are forced deeper into the jungle. As their mission begins to collapse, they are thrust into an unforgiving and primal environment. Their situation spirals out of control, as allegiances shift and they have to do whatever it takes to survive.
Monos, a darling of the indie film circuit last year culminating in it being Colombia’s International Feature entry at this year's Oscars, isn’t a happy, clappy fun time to have at the cinema. It’s grim. Like Lord of the Flies, Apocalypse Now kinda grim.
Even though there is some obvious instability in the situation (they’re teenage commandos guarding a prisoner out in the middle of nowhere), it’s the slow and steady descent into the deepest depravity of humanity that is on display here.
For the most part the story holds its own and engages the audience, but it’s the obvious cinematic and literary influences that have already been mentioned that robs Monos of true originality.
Even though it’s apparent that director Landes is attempting to teach us some deep truth through this allegory, it's elusive, not readily obvious and ultimately unclear what Landes really wants to show us.
That being said the cinematography and score are breathtaking and the ensemble cast are outstanding in every painstaking detail.
While not wholly original, Monos takes us on the slow and descent into the deepest depravity of humanity with an outstanding ensemble cast and breathtaking cinematography and score.

The LIBOR scandal broke almost two years ago, and the banks found responsible for manipulating that key index are still dealing with lawsuits. Meanwhile, allegations of gold market manipulation have been simmering for over a decade and grew into an inferno after the spot price dropped dramatically last spring.
Before Bear Stearns and Lehman collapsed, the market for physical gold was limited to a relatively small group of investors who understood the havoc inflation was wreaking on our savings and the US markets.
The same forces that are stabilizing stocks and suppressing gold are also the fundamental reasons long-term investors have been buying gold since the turn of the new millennium. The so-called recovery we're now experiencing is just a lull in a storm that hasn't yet abated.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Federal authorities said a plot by a suspected Muslim terrorist cell to blow up John F. Kennedy International Airport, its fuel tanks and a jet fuel artery could have caused "unthinkable" devastation.
But while pipeline and security experts agreed that such an attack would have crippled America's economy, particularly the airline industry, they said it probably would not have led to significant loss of life as intended.GOI: This plot was broken up by good, old fashioned police work and good intelligence--NOT because of the Iraq war or anything we're doing over there. I am convinced that if we leave Iraq and invest all that money into our police forces, other first responders and intelligence agencies that we could intercept a HUGE majority of terrorist plots. I have confidence that if some DO slip through the cracks and get into America that we will stop them. There is no way that we can stop everything though and we must understand that is the reality of our times. No threat can be stopped 100%.
This crap that the terrorists will follow us home rhetoric is inaccurate and insulting to our police forces and intelligence agencies. I'm sorry if I do not trust people who have been wrong on just about everything else they've said. Bush needs to stop reading, "My Pet Goat" and crack open the story of, "the boy who cried wolf." It also gives the picture that the terrorists are going to get in a bunch of pirate ships and sail the seven seas to reach America and invade us. Total scare tactics as usual.
Terrorists will get through on rare occasions but over-all we can shut them down from hitting us here.
That is where our concentration should be--not over in the middle of someone's sectarian civil war half a world away. Being there isn't protecting us from terrorists but rather creating MORE terrorists. We are inspiring them--we need to bring our troops home, beef up our borders, police forces, other first responders and rebuild our army.


text: Flaxseed is a functional food containing α-linolenic acid, lignans, and dietary fiber, and its intake is known to lower blood pressure in hypertensive rat models and hypertensive patients. However, the mechanisms of action of flaxseed have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we examined the effects of flaxseed powder, which includes all flaxseed components, flaxseed oil, comprised mainly of α-linolenic acid, flaxseed lignan, and flaxseed fiber on hypertension induced by deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt to elucidate the components associated with the antihypertensive effects. Then, we investigated the mechanisms of action associated with the effects of flaxseed powder and flaxseed oil. The intake of flaxseed powder and flaxseed oil prevented the elevation of blood pressure induced by DOCA-salt treatment, whereas flaxseed lignan and flaxseed fiber had no effects. Flaxseed powder and flaxseed oil suppressed the sympathetic nerve activity in DOCA-salt rats. In contrast, neither flaxseed powder nor flaxseed oil affected plasma and kidney ACE activity or MDA levels in the kidney. These results indicate that flaxseed has antihypertensive effects in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. These effects are likely principally exerted by α-linolenic acid, the main component of flaxseed. Furthermore, modulation of the autonomic nervous system is partly involved in the antihypertensive effect of flaxseed.

All short-term travellers with an air travel pass who have travelled to Guangdong province in China within the last 21 days will be barred from entering Singapore from tomorrow.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) said yesterday that the tightened border measures come amid a spike in Covid-19 cases in Guangzhou.
Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders entering Singapore with a travel history to Guangdong within the last 21 days will also have to serve a seven-day stay-home notice (SHN) at their residence.
They will have to take a Covid-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test on arrival, as well as before the end of their SHN.
These new measures will kick in at 11.59pm today.
MOH said: "All other travellers departing from mainland China who have been in mainland China, excluding Guangdong province, in the last 21 days prior to travel will continue to be subject to a Covid-19 test upon arrival at the airport in lieu of their SHN."
It was earlier announced that travellers from China will be allowed to go about their activities here without the need to serve SHN if their Covid-19 PCR test is negative upon arrival.
Guangzhou, the provincial capital of Guangdong, has been grappling with a growing number of Covid-19 cases since last month, with the authorities trying to control infections with mass testing in some hot-spot districts.
Xinhua reported yesterday that Guangdong province registered nine new locally transmitted Covid-19 cases on Thursday. Eight of these were in Guangzhou, and the remaining one in Foshan.
As at Thursday, Guangdong has reported a total of 2,509 confirmed Covid-19 cases, including 1,042 imported ones, according to the provincial health commission.

Deerhunter has always been one for pushing the envelope. Existing on the often-thin border of experimental pop and punk, the band’s minimalist and often surreal production have lent themselves to some truly brilliant records in the past, records that felt truly unique and original. Which is why it is so disappointing that, in their most recent release, “Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?,” such a brilliant and original band falls back on tracks that feel derivative and, at times, boring. The band treads ground that others have walked upon many years before them while contributing nothing new to these styles.
The record’s lead single and lead track, “Death in Midsummer,” falls heavily back upon a clinky piano backing track before diving into a Kevin-Parker-esque modern-psych guitar break. While lyricist Bradford Cox’is at his best in this track — more so than anywhere else on the album — the song does not pulse or pound as Deerhunter tracks are wont to do. Rather, the song plods along, seemingly mirroring the lives of the monotonous workers who fade away “in these poisoned hills.” While clever, it hardly makes for an interesting or particularly memorable track.
“What Happens to People?” tries to evoke Real Estate — a band with a similar drone-rock style — in the backing track, but the overall result simply sounds pretentious, reaching for some broad truth on nature that sounds more like a stoned musing as opposed to some artistic insight into the human condition. “Tarnung,” meanwhile, feels like an outtake of Grizzly Bear’s 2009 album “Veckatimest,” blending baroque pop and indie rock with soft horns, a trippy xylophone and vocal harmonies — but the result is that Deerhunter sounds about ten years behind the times with the track.
Indeed, this album feels less like a true Deerhunter album than a compilation of indie rock outtakes from ten years ago — a worse version of “Dark Was the Night.” Deerhunter struggle to find their voice on this album, bouncing around trends from ten years ago from different artists, and Cox’s lyrics stumble around in the dark equally so. Deerhunter has lost their voice, and they are frantically borrowing that of other artists’ to sound complete.
The album as a unit is typically abstract, but whereas on previous albums — such as Deerhunter’s masterpiece Halycon Digest – the surreal nature of the content lent itself to a greater vision of the album, on Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?, the tracks merely sound jumbled up and confused. The lack of sonic cohesion — the inability of Deerhunter to pick a style and stick with it — fails to create a single vision of the album. It is difficult to say what the album is truly “about”, as even the few individual themes that tracks represent are obfuscated, lost in the appropriated styles of other artists.
The only track where Deerhunter sound comfortable is the one in which they step into their own skin, “Elemental.” “The wind was stained/Orange clouds fade up for a toxic view/Of endless time, endless time/Let it wash over your body,” Cox builds up to a sufficiently trippy chorus, a back-and-forth of the track’s title, over strings and the same clinky piano. “It’s elemental how I move,” goes the track – seeing Deerhunter move in their element is a rarity on this album, and this is one of the few tracks that truly showcases that kind of familiarity.
But the rest of the album only feels familiar to the audience and evidently not to Deerhunter. The band still has a flair for the experimental – “Nocturne” and “Détournement” showcase the bands’ interest in the truly weird, but the rest of the album feels wholly derivative and boring.
It is decidedly a step backwards for the Athens outfit. For a band that has spent so much of their career on the bleeding edge of indie, it might have been fine had they stayed in their safe zone of experimental-slash-drone-slash-rock, but unfortunately the band retreated even further on this album into the safe zones of other bands, to their own detriment.


Scale the Istio Control Plane
Istio has two major components:
- The proxy is responsible for handling the incoming traffic, and is injected into the Pods of every Workload.
- The Control Plane is responsible for coordinating the proxies, by sending them the latest configuration.
This section focuses on the performance characteristics of the Control Plane. For details on the proxies, see Scale the Istio proxy sidecar of a workload.
Find the Control Plane
By default, Service Mesh Manager installs the Control Plane into the
kubectl get pods -n istio-system
The output should be similar to:

kubectl get istiocontrolplanes -A
The output should be similar to:
NAMESPACE NAME MODE NETWORK STATUS MESH EXPANSION EXPANSION GW IPS ERROR AGE istio-system cp-v115x ACTIVE network1 Available true ["172.18.250.1"] 42h
When using the Service Mesh Manager dashboard for analyzing the resource usage, check these Workloads.
Understand scaling behavior
For the Control Plane, the CPU usage scales horizontally: if you add more pods to Kubernetes cluster,
istiod requires more CPU resources to send the configuration to all of those proxies. By adding more
istiod Pods, the number of workloads the service mesh can support increases.
On the other hand, each
istiod Pod needs to maintain the inventory of all the running Pods, Services, and Istio custom resources, thus as more of these added to the Kubernetes cluster, each Pod will need more memory. So from the memory consumption point of view, the service behaves as if it had vertical scalability.
This is quite a common situation where a service exhibits both vertical and horizontal scalability. In such cases, focus on the horizontal scalability properties, as long as the vertically scaling part (CPU or Memory) can be somewhat contained.
According to the upstream Istio documentation:
When namespace isolation is enabled, a single Istiod instance can support 1000 services, 2000 sidecars with 1 vCPU and 1.5 GB of memory. You can increase the number of Istiod instances to reduce the amount of time it takes for the configuration to reach all proxies.
When deciding on how to scale the workload, it is worth looking at the backing Kubernetes nodes. Usually the nodes are smaller ones: they have a few CPU cores (2-4) and 8-16 GB of memory. For the sake of this example, let’s say we have Kubernetes nodes with 2 vCPUs and 8GB RAM available.
In this case, giving 1 vCPU to Istio allocates 50% of the available CPU resources, while giving it 1.5 GB only reserves 18% of the available memory.
- If we want to scale vertically, based on memory, we can only double the resource utilization before we exhaust all of the available CPUs on the underlying node.
- With horizontal scaling with 1 vCPU allocated to each Istio control plane instance, we can add 8 Istios if needed before we exhaust the number of available resources on a single node, assuming that both memory and CPU utilization is scaling linearly.
Set resource limits via Control Plane
Service Mesh Manager provides two ways to change resource limits. The easiest one is to change the
ControlPlane resource by running the following commands:
cat > istio-cp-limits.yaml <<EOF spec: meshManager: istio: pilot: resources: requests: cpu: 500m memory: "1500M" limits: cpu: "1" memory: "2000M" EOF kubectl patch controlplane --type=merge --patch "$(cat istio-cp-limits.yaml )" smm
- If you are using Service Mesh Manager in Operator Mode, then the Istio deployment is updated automatically.
- If you are using the imperative mode, run the
smm operator reconcilecommand to apply the changes.
Note: By default, the Istio Control Plane has a HPA set up with the minimum of 1 and the maximum of 5 Pods.
Set resource limits via the Istio Resource
If the deployment needs more control over the Istio behavior, then the
IstioConrolPlane resource in the
istio-system namespace must be changed. Besides any settings (resources and images) defined in the
ControlPlane resource, any modifications will be preserved even if the
operator reconcile command is invoked, or if the Service Mesh Manager is deployed in Operator Mode.

Where to ride
An ORV is a vehicle built primarily for off-road recreation. There are different types of ORVs and each has its own handling characteristics, including motorcycles, ATVs and route vehicles.
Riders can enjoy Michigan's ORV trail / route system and frozen surface of public waters. Throughout the northern Lower Peninula and Upper Peninsula, state forest roads are open unless posted closed to ORVs. See maps of forest roads recently opened to ORVs in the northern Lower Peninsula.
Beginning in January 2019, additional forest roads in the southern Lower Peninsula will be available for riders. Get involved with the Road Inventory Project.
Free ORV Weekends - 2018 dates will be announced soon
Residents and nonresidents can ride DNR-designated routes and trails during two Free ORV Weekends each year. Off-road enthusiasts will not need to purchase an ORV license or trail permit on these two days, saving riders up to $36.25. This opportunity is a great way for ORV enthusiasts to explore Michigan's 3,660 miles of trails and and think about purchasing an ORV license or trail permit for the season. Funds generated are reinvested back into the ORV system.
Michigan’s ORV trail system has three designated types of trails, including:
- Motorcycle-only trails maintained at a 28” width
- ATV trails maintained at a 50” width
- ORV routes maintained at a minimum 72” width or greater
Note: Some ORV routes have a restriction to 65” width or high ground clearance see trail maps for locations.
State parks and Rustic Campgrounds
ORVs are generally prohibited in state game areas or state parks and recreation areas, however, there are a handful of ORV-friendly state parks and rustic campgrounds open to riders across the state.
In all national forests, motor vehicles can be used only on roads, trails or areas that are designated as open. For more information, contact the local national forest headquarters.
Roads, streets and highways maintained for year-round automobile travel (including the shoulder and the right-of-way) are closed to ORV operation unless designated open to ORV use by local ordinance. ORV operators should check with that county’s sheriff, road commission or clerk for local ordinances. It is illegal to operate ORVs on state and federal highways, including the shoulders and rights of way.
Private land is closed to ORV operation except by the landowner and the landowner's invited guests.

US: Energy efficiency gets a boost under Obama
Good news for energy efficiency market continues.
Since 2009, Obama administration has created nearly 50 rules amd regulations that will deliver the biggest energy savings of any president in history, eliminating demand in 2030 equal to the electricity produced by 96 power plants. Many of these initiatives are relevant for businesses and industry.
Last month, a regulation drives shrinking the energy used by commercial rooftop air conditioners and furnaces, an effort the U.S. government projects that are calculated to save 1.7 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity over 30 years. More than any other initative since efficiency laws were enacted in 1975. Making these devices more efficient under the new standard will, according to the Department of Energy, translate into $167 billion in saved costs for businesses over the life of the standard, as well as 885 million tons fewer carbon dioxide emissions.
According to Steve Nadel, Executive Director of the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), “These standards are a game-changer for the commercial sector. [...] These new standards will bring down the cost of doing business and improve bottom lines by letting companies invest money they used to spend on heating and cooling. This will in turn stimulate the economy, create jobs, and bring us closer to the finish line of the president’s climate goals for appliance standards.”

Artist Tomás Saraceno Brings Experimental Emission-Free Air Travel to London
A new commission seeks collaborators and hackers in London.
Working with an impressive list of collaborators, artist Tomás Saraceno has recently set the world records for the first and longest solar-powered flight with his ongoing Aerocene project, an art-meets-science experiment to create sculptures that float, fossil-fuel-free, on the earth’s jet streams.
This weekend, an open invitation calls on Londoners to help push the boundaries of Saraceno’s Aerocene Explorers even further.
The Argentinian-born, Berlin-based artist recently accepted the first Exhibition Road Commission, a new effort by the Exhibition Road Cultural Group in South Kensington, London. For the commission, 17 local cultural and educational institutions, including the Science Museum, Natural History Museum, Goethe Institut, and Serpentine Galleries, pool their resources to foster multidisciplinary artistic projects.
A jury chaired by Hans-Ulrich Obrist made a smart first choice in Saraceno, whose experimental Aerocene project benefits from the input of multidisciplinary thinkers.
On November 26, the Aerocene Campus will take place at the Royal College of Art, open to anyone as long as they register in advance.
As an artist, Saraceno has an idealistic vision of pushing humanity to a place where it can more peacefully, and less harmfully, co-exist with nature; by inviting more and more collaborators from different fields, his ambitious aims seem possible.
“The Campus asks how community-driven practices with the Aerocene Explorer can inform environmental, social and mental ecologies in post-Anthropocenic worlds. On November 26th, experts from a wide range of disciplines will gather together for a full day of provocation, discussion, collaboration and ‘hacking’ to experiment with the Aerocene Explorer and to co-create the Aerocene epoch,”
More than just thinking about Aerocene, Saraceno wants his project hacked. For the Aerocene Hack 2, a team of “highly technical hackers” (“developers, designers, artists, data scientists, and creative technologists”) will work simultaneously, and partially in collaboration with, the Aerocene Campus, to prototype new versions of the Aerocene Explorer. The ultimate goal of the project is to create a sculpture that can journey around the world emission-free.
Is the Aerocene really the future? Find out more here about how to help make it happen.

There’s quite a bit of news that’s leaking out this morning. We’ll start with a story from Ad Age. They are reporting that NBC Universal will be taking over some advertising sales for the NHL when it comes to their digital properties and the NHL Network. The deal is unique since NBC and Versus won’t be taking over the management or day to day operations of any of the NHL owned properties. While Turner Sports handles some duties for the NBA, Turner also manages and operates NBA.com and NBA TV for the league. The NBC/NHL sales deal allows companies to buy ads for the NHL on the NBC Sports Group, NHL.com and the NHL Network all from one place. It’s one stop shopping for media buyers which should lead to a boost in ads especially for the NHL Net which has struggled in selling any ads outside of from official league partners. The NHL will continue to control all league wide marketing deals which leads us to our next story.
NHL APPEALING MOLSON RULING
The NHL made big news when it signed a record breaking marketing deal with MolsonCoors. The $375 million dollar deal hit a snag when Labatt claimed that they had a deal in place with the NHL already for Canadian marketing rights. Labatt then sued and later won in a Toronto courtroom. As expected, the league is appealing the ruling and is hoping for a ruling by the time that training camps open. A ruling against the NHL would be a major blow to the league and NHL COO John Collins which gained a ton of publicity from the big deal including from The New York Times. It is imperative that the league get this situation under control. Without a firm marketing plan in place for the upcoming season, the league will suffer and it’s likely that broadcast rights holders will feel some pain with a lack of ad buys.
HNIC RADIO JOB OPENING
For those wondering about the fate of CBC/Sirius Canada’s Hockey Night in Canada Radio, wonder no more. The CBC is actively looking for Jeff Marek’s replacement as they have posted an ad on a radio job posting site. However, the posting doesn’t help solve the mystery of whether the i-DESK will continue. The posting is vague in that while it does mention television, it doesn’t specifically mention HNIC or for that matter, the social media duties that Marek handled so well for CBC.

Essay 4 (600 Words)
The literal meaning of Civil Disobedience is disobeying the civil law, specifically as a way to protest for certain demands. Mahatma Gandhi used civil disobedience as a non-violent way to protest against the British Rule. He launched many civil disobedience movements during the British rule protesting against many harsh Acts and Policies of the British government. Civil Disobedience was one of the reasons which led to the independence of India.
Civil Disobedience Movements by Mahatma Gandhi
- Causes Responsible for the Mass Civil Disobedience Movement
The cruel policies of the British government which was evident in Simon’s Commission and Rowlett Act challenged the complete independence or ‘Purna Swaraj’, a dream of Mahatma Gandhi. The British government was also very reluctant in providing dominion status to India. Gandhiji warned the British government that if complete independence is not given to India then they should be ready to face the consequences in terms of mass civil disobedience. All such social and political events concreted the launch of civil disobedience movement.
- Civil Disobedience Movements led by Mahatma Gandhi
Though the civil disobedience movement was started in 1919 with the launch of the Non-cooperation movement against the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, it became prominent only after the salt march. The Namak Satyagrah or the Salt March was the inception of the mass civil disobedience movement. Led by Mahatma Gandhi, the Salt March was a 26 days march conducted from the Sabarmati Ashram on 12th March 1930 and ended on 6th April 1930 at Dandi, a coastal village in Gujarat.
The march was started with few members, the number of followers increased as it gained momentum. The main aim of the march was to protest against the British taxation system and breaking the law which was against the local production of salt. This lead to the mass civil disobedience and people started making salt on a large scale challenging the law imposed by the British government. Consequently, there were huge arrests done on a large scale.
The salt march which started to locally produce salt took the face of mass civil disobedience movement. People started boycotting British products and the emphasis on the Swadeshi movement became more eminent. British cloths and products were burnt on a very large scale. Farmers refused to pay taxes to the British government.
People started resigning from the prominent government posts of the British administration. Teachers, soldiers and people from civil services left their jobs supporting the national movement. The Civil Disobedience of 1930 saw huge participation of women. Women from all sections of the society took active participation in ‘satyagraha’ and started production and selling of salt and in course supporting the civil disobedience movement.
- Effects of the Civil Disobedience Movement
The Civil Disobedience Movement shook the foundation of the British Rule and they suffered huge economical and administrative losses. The ‘Swadeshi’ Movement helped to set up many manufacturing units to manufacture the products in India.
The boycott of British products impacted imports from Britain. People refused to pay taxes to the government and started producing salt on a larger scale which highly affected the Britishers in monetary ways. The most beneficial part of the protest was that the British government was in dilemma on how to react to non-violent protests and civil disobedience.
Even the British officials said that it was easy to fight the violent protesters than the non-violent protesters. The non-violent civil disobedience movement attracted international attention to the Indian freedom struggle and also revealed the cruel policies of Britishers against Indians. The Quit India movement launched on 8th August 1942 was the final nail in the coffin of the British Government and they agreed to give India complete Independence once World War II ends.
The Civil Disobedience Movement played a significant role in the Indian freedom struggle. It helped to unite the nation and fought for a cause. It started with a pinch of salt but became a national movement against the British government. Civil Disobedience was a non-violent movement that did not spill even a single drop of blood and made a huge impact on Indian freedom struggle.

Story behind the song
I always start out with the music and then add words. This song came together really quickly. It's a little short, but I can't think of anything else to say.
He woke up at three o'clock from a dream about snakes and water,
Where ice had fallen out of the sky and covered the face of his daughter.
She woke up at one o'clock and poured another glass of wine.
Looked at her bills and her bank account, and told herself everything would be fine.
They meet in the usual way - photos and words on a glowing screen,
Secrets told to a stranger online, but after you tell them you want to be seen.
And they both had been alone.
Felt broken to the bone.
But they made a date by phone,
And they met.
Hope and need are powerful things, driving us to take chances.
They moved in together that spring, after months of questioning glances.
And they sold one of their beds,
Discovered they both liked red,
Put his weight bench in the shed,
Just for a while.
She wakes up at six o'clock, feeling his hand brush her hip.
He rolls onto his side in the dark and smiles as she smiles against his lips.


There’s no way Robert Mueller orchestrated this thing on his own!
In the video, Mueller looks completely lost as he stuttered trying to provide answers to questions he CLEARLY wasn’t ready for.
On several occasions, he can be seen frequently and nervously paging through his notes like a confused old man.
At one point, the video shows him asking Rep. Jackson Lee (D-TX) to repeat a question he never saw coming.
Here’s the video:
Do you think this was a criminal attempt by Democrats to remove a sitting president from office?
Leave a comment below and let us know what you think.

Police rescue 30 of 40 residents abducted in Katsina community
The Katsina State Police Command has rescued 30 out of 40 people abducted by gunmen at a mosque in Jibiya Local Government Area of northwestern Nigeria.
The victims were abducted in a mosque by gunmen at Kwata community in the early hours of Monday morning while the victims were holding midnight prayers, known as Tahajjud.
Tahajjud is a special Islamic prayer mostly held during the Ramadan fast and is done after the last night prayer (Isha), and before the early morning prayer (Fajr).
Police spokesman SP Gambo Isah told BBC security forces, vigilantes and the local community rallied and pursued the gunmen, which enabled them to rescue 30 of the abductees.
Isah said the police officers traced the gunmen and were found to have passed through Tsambe and headed for Dumburun in Zamfara State.
The police spokesman added that an investigation after the rescue operation revealed that there were 10 other people still unaccounted for.
He said they could not determine whether the remains were in the hands of gunmen or had escaped.
Isah said the rescued people had already returned to their families with no one shot or injured.
