A seizure occurs when there’s abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures may go virtually unnoticed. Or, in severe cases, they may produce a change or loss of consciousness and involuntary muscle spasms called convulsions. Seizures usually come on suddenly and vary in duration and severity. A seizure may be a one-time event, or you may have seizures repeatedly. Recurrent seizures are called epilepsy, or a seizure disorder. Less than one in 10 people who has a seizure develops epilepsy.
Experts classify seizures into two general categories and many subtypes based on the pattern of the attack.
I had my first real epileptic seizure when I was 5 years old. My mother says my eyes were rolling and I was staring off into the distance. She was terrified.
What I had is called a "petit mal" seizure or an "absence" seizure. It’s called that because there’s a lapse in conscious activity for a couple of seconds. It’s different from a "grand mal" seizure, when people have convulsions. That’s what most people think of when they think of epilepsy. A petit mal seizure may not sound like much, but it’s...
Generalized seizures involve both sides of the brain from the start of the attack. Common subtypes include tonic-clonic (grand mal) and absence seizures (petit mal). Febrile and infantile spasms are two types of generalized seizures that occur almost exclusively in young children.
Partial (or focal) seizures are the second major seizure type. These begin in a specific area of the brain and may be contained there. Or they may spread to the entire brain.
With simple partial seizures, the person remains conscious.

With milder winters, overstocked forests and past forest management practices, Washington’s forests are increasingly becoming a smorgasbord for tree-devouring insects.
The 2014 annual insect and disease aerial survey found that insects and disease killed more than 4 million trees on over 540,000 acres in Washington state.
About 143,000 acres of forestlands east of the Cascade Mountain Range showed especially high levels of pine tree death caused by pine bark beetles, an increase from the 107,000 acres reported in 2013.
You can now explore the latest aerial survey maps on the Department of Natural Resources’ interactive, web-based mapping site: Fire Prevention and Fuels Management Mapping. Click on the Forest Disturbance folder.
Aerial observers this year also identified nearly 740,000 trees across 30,000 eastern Washington acres that died as a result of 2012 wildfire damage or from the bark beetles that subsequently attacked damaged trees. Those numbers are well higher than typical.
Though damage from forest pests was down from historical norms in 2013 and 2014, the number of trees destroyed by insects in the last decade is unprecedented.
Widespread mortality caused by bark beetles and damage from defoliating insects is setting the stage for more wildfires. In some places, critical wildlife habitat is being destroyed.

I've been to a japanese restaurant and I asked a bento bok for lunch. It had (among lots of other things) a simple green salad with a dressing that was to die for. I had it on some other restaurants so I guess this is a common recipe...
The sauce was rather... "solid" i guess it has grated ginger... I'd love to dress my salads with it. Can you help me maki? :D

Today is Legends Day on Spice Radio’s YouPorn and Veronica Hart will be on the show with Christy and Ginger, so I’ll be on the show beforehand (around 2:30 Eastern, 11:30 Pacific) talking about American Desire, a 1981 film by Lasse Braun.
East Coast Represent!
This tale of a couple stuck in a rut was shot in New York City, Long Island and Connecticut and it’s fun to see brief shots of the city in all its grungy glory. (A marquee advertised “Air Plane” and we see the Twin Towers in the background as cars drive out of the city.)
The movie opens with a flaccid Bob (R. Bolla) and Sheila (Veronica Hart) watching an old kung-fu movie on TV. They’re both lamenting that their sex life has, er, petered out. They still love each other, but their torrid love affair has made way for comfortable evenings watching TV and sharing snacks, and it’s not a place either are particularly happy with. They pull off a couple in their mid-30s convincingly, even tho Veronica was around 25 when she shot this, it helps that she’s paired with an actor actually in his mid-30s, the 34 year old R. Bolla. He thinks out loud that “maybe one person isn’t enough… or maybe one person is too many.”
The next morning, Sheila leaves a note for Bob saying she’s running to see her Dad for some advice and then running errands in the City. He throws the note off their back porch into the reeds below.
Next up, we see Sheila’s Dad (Jack Teague) thinking in his backyard with a notebook on his knee as his young partner (Mai Lin) looks on from upstairs, asking if he’s getting any work done. He mentions he could use some inspiration, so she comes down to give him some. What follows is a pretty realistically shot sex scene, where there’s a lot of kissing and foreplay going on. He has a thumb up inside her as she plays with his cock. When she moves down to blow him, Braun makes sure to keep Jack’s face in the shot, instead of just focusing on the penetration.
In the midst of their tryst, Sheila shows up at the sliding glass door overlooking the patio and seems put out that she can’t talk to her Dad, as opposed to being completely and utterly freaked out by the fact that she walked in on her Dad and his special lady friend going at it right as he’s sliding himself inside for the first time. This reaction is a bit odd.
The scene continues with some brief missionary and then Jack pulls out as Mai jerks him off. Jack’s hips keep bucking the whole time which is a nice touch and adds some sensuality to the scene. Sheila just takes off, not bothering to talk to her Dad after all.
Sheila’s Day Out (nice red T-Bird convertible!) continues with a trip to her grandfather’s abandoned house. She finds the front door locked, but goes around the back and lets herself in, only to be startled by George (George Payne), an academic who is poking around the house looking to see “what original architecture is left” because he’s “completing a dissertation on comparative American literature and [Sheila’s Dad? Granddad?] is the best in that field.” (Doesn’t make any more sense in the movie either.) Sheila offers to give George her Dad’s number.
Meanwhile, back at the house, Bob calls an escort service and is excited to see Mistress Candice show up in her street clothes. He’s all hot to trot, moving in to feel her up and lift up her shirt to look at her rack and she pushes him off, asking where the bathroom is, so she can get ready. He shows her the door and waits. She comes out in full leather dominatrix outfit with a cat o’nine tails and proceeds to tease the hell out of him. It’s a fun scene that is pretty hot, but there’s no sex in it. We do get to see her spectacular rack, but her nipples only see pleasure from her own tongue – Bob is denied. She leaves him with blue balls. The scene is played for laughs. At one point, Bob goes in for a kiss and she backs off. He complains that he just wants to give her a kiss, since she has such a pretty mouth — and we cut to a closeup and her dental work leaves, well, a little something to be desired.
Sheila drives home to find Bob sleeping in bed, but finds leather straps around the house. She’s pissed about his whores, and he’s pissed they’re not fucking each other. He mentions again “Maybe one person isn’t enough.” and he wants her permission to step out since he doesn’t want to lie to her. (There’s a confused nobility there.) She laments that men can just ring up and order sex like room service, where it takes women months to figure out who to seduce, to do the seducing, etc. Bob says she just needs to fuck someone already, that she’s wasting valuable time. It’s an interesting philosophical debate.
George shows up at Sheila’s Dad’s house to drop off some of his writing, and instead finds himself being seduced by Mai. She makes her move and drops to her knees. George asks a sensible question – what happens if your old man walks in? And she assures him that Dad Welles would be fine with it. Mai has long nails which she uses to great effect on George’s shaft. He gives himself over to it and grabs her head and starts guiding her strokes.
Cut to Dad and Sheila in the T-Bird on their way home.
Mai and George have moved to the bedroom and George goes down on her, then she rides him cowgirl and in a really spectacular move, launches herself off his cock and right onto his face in one leap.
Sheila approaches the house and hears the ruckus and sees George nailing Mai on the bed. Her Dad approaches and she apologizes to him, since she gave George the address, and Dad, in full on creeper, says it’s more than fine and asks is she would like to join them. She shakes him off and runs away.
There’s a drum beat playing on the soundtrack in synch with George’s pounding and it crescendos with his cumming on her belly. Sheila’s Dad appears in the doorway, all grins. Mai makes the introductions, George is horrified at the social faux pas, but Sheila’s Dad will have none of it. “Nonsense! If you made Mai Lin happy, then I’m happy!” and then Mai kisses George. Kinda weird, kinda funny.
Bob is driving down the country roads in his (NJ plated – represent!) Jeep when he comes across hitchhiker Lysa Thatcher who is looking for a place to camp out. As they drive, she lights up a joint and he asks for a toke “I’m not an old man, you know!” and they head to a friend’s place where he has a barn/farmohouse that she can camp out in.
Meanwhile, Sheila is getting dressed up in a fancy hat and red lipstick.
At the barn, Lysa infantilizes herself further by riding on a very small wooden rocking horse. We see a shot of her between his legs, Mrs. Robinson style, and she mentions how much she loves his boots, and she crawls over to lick them, her ass cheeks hanging out of her cut-offs. (Take *that* Daisy Duke!) She works her way up his body and stands as he kisses her and moves his hands all over her. She brushes him off and starts setting up her bunk, bending at the waist and driving us a little wild. She finds a cat o’nine-tails and chain collar and asks if Bob knows about those things. She hads him the cat o’nine tails, and he can’t possibly whip her. She opens her shirt revealing her breasts and she asks to be hit, like a Daddy hits his little girl. He starts to hit her a little harder and there’s a cut, so I assume the modern scissors have robbed us of a little more play… but at her urging, he gets his fingers all up in her (“Fuck it! Fuck it with your fingers!”) and he brings her to orgasm.
And finally Bob gets his blowjob… and what a BJ it is. He’s slapping her with his cock until finally they’re fucking doggie style, with her tits pressed into the bedsprings which we see from underneath. Bob says “See what happens when you hitchhike!?” and she jerks him off onto her tongue. So far, best scene in the movie.
Sheila heads back to Grandfather Welles’ house and a stranger (Roy Stuart) appears outside. Without her knowing, he follows her into the house and confronts her. He asks “Do you like my house?” and she says she can’t stay, that her husband is waiting for her, and he shoves his gloved hand into her crotch. She protests as he starts to remove her jacket. He asks “Don’t you like sex?” and she’s getting more upset. “Tell me how you want to stay!” and she keeps saying no, and he rips open her shirt and throws her on the floor. He rips open her bra and she’s yelling “Don’t touch me!” and he yells “Quiet!” and as he is playing with her pussy thru her underwear, she gives up a little. (Not one of the best messages, I suppose…)
He works a fingered finger into her doggie style and she squirms away. She’s trying to get her clothes back on and run away. She threatens to scream, and he tells her to scream “Who can hear you?” and she runs upstairs, but he’s too fast for her.
He lays her down on the bedroom floor, removes his gloves, opens his pants and lifts her head to his cock, and she blows him as she rubs her pussy for a second before he’s fucking her missionary.
As with these non-consensual scenes, it’s tough to really use them to get yourself off.
Construction worker Dave Ruby comes in the house and notices her clothes on the dining room floor and heads off to investigate. Sheila comes downstairs naked and runs into him. He asks if she’s all right, and she says “Never better.” and then makes moves on him. He resists, “I’m a married man! I’ve got a wife and two kids!” and she starts to go down on him. The sexual prey becomes the predator? As she blows him, he just keeps repeating that he can’t believe this is happening. She takes him down to the root (not a difficult task, it seems) and she rips his T-Shirt off him. He awkwardly falls to the floor, with his face landing in her lap. There’s a way too brief long shot of him with his face buried in her bush while her head is going up and down a mile a minute on his cock. Then, Rapist Roy comes back in for seconds and shoves his dick in her mouth. There’s some brief continuity issues with positions, and then Dave shoves himself up her ass. She pulls him out and jerks him off all over her pussy and belly, then Roy cums all over her face. She’s a mess when its over.
Bob returns home with Lysa in tow and Sheila is waiting for him on the bed. Her experience at her grandfather’s house as sexually awakened her, and she tells him she did it, as if she was the cat who ate the canary. She chalked it up to acting out. So, maybe it wasn’t a rape, but a fantasy fulfillment? She recounts the tale of her rape with breathless excitement as Bob attacks her, repeating the things she is describing. (We see that Lysa Thatcher is overhearing the story.) Bob is dominating a little bit as he demands to be told what happened. Lysa drops trou and starts to play with herself outside their bedroom as she listens to Bob and Sheila fuck. “Is this how he did it? I gotta know! It’s driving me crazy!”
They switch to missionary as she tells the Ballad of the Construction Worker, “he was rough, but I wanted it rough! … I did it, and I don’t want to stop. I don’t want to stop!” and she rides him reverse cowgirl. Bob says he’s going to cum and she says no, that she wants to taste it. So she bounces off him and onto the bed where she jerks him climax, licking up every drop.
As music starts to play, Sheila find Lysa on the chair and they begin to make out. They move to the bedroom where they can scissor each other. The girls make eye contact which is very hot; then as they 69, Bob appears, and he and Sheila share Lysa’s tail end and Sheila blows him like crazy. Bob fucks Sheila a bit more and then the girls share a blow job to its conclusion.
Fun fact: Roy Stuart also wrote the music for the movie.
Wow wow wow wow wow.
I had never seen this movie, but since Veronica Hart was going to be on the show, I thought I should review a movie that featured her in a leading role, and boy, was this it!
She doesn’t get naked until more than halfway through the movie, but once she does, she’s an unstoppable force of nature. She devours R. Bolla and Lysa Thatcher at the end.
The movie’s title is odd, “American Desire” as I am having a hard time defining the desire — is it merely sexual, or is it the desire to settle down and share your life with someone else? Bob and Sheila start the movie as a couple and end the movie as a couple, and ostensibly, the shenanigans that happen in the middle are supposed to strengthen their resolve as a couple, even if it doesn’t involve monogamy.
It’s left a bit ambiguous (or perhaps I am just projecting) if Rapist Roy (and the construction worker) was a pre-arrangement or not. I think I have trouble if it was a real rape, since it falls back on the trope that “all girls want it” and that’s not the greatest message to send, I think… nor does it work that well dramatically. If it was pre-arranged, then it gives Sheila some power and we don’t have to watch that scene between the fingers covering our eyes.
I don’t remember Lasse Braun as an filmmaker, tho I do remember it being a big deal when he came back with a three picture for Sin City. I didn’t get the historical significance at the time, tho Wikipedia does an OK job of filling in the gaps, as does rotten.com
Fun fact – modern day director Axel Braun is Lasse’s son.

Bhavya in the recent years has gained a vast amount of expose for himself and his company BFitWorld, by consulting clients against supplement but natural nutrition usage.
Bhavya Munjal strongly believes in the fact that most people don't need to take vitamin supplements and are able to get all the vitamins and minerals they need by eating a healthy, balanced diet. He believes, by taking supplements people are harming their own body as many supplements contain active ingredients that have strong biological effects in the body. This could make them unsafe in some situations and hurt or complicate people’s health and according to him supplementing your diet without a proper consultation can cause weight gain and more harm to the health
He has Worked with clients from all walks of life, from mothers, families, businessmen, sportsmen to artists and celebrities. Bhavya believe that healthy foods and eating habits are determined by choice, not compulsion.
He also believe that taste should not be sacrificed to make way for health, in order to guarantee clients great results he take into account clients full medical history, their personal preferences along with their health goal and plans their diet and modifies their lifestyle....

Youngster with ultra-rare condition given special seat after year-long wait
A girl with an ultra-rare health condition has waited more than a year for a special car seat to keep her safe on the road.
Kyra Lodge, 9, was one of thousands of disabled children who are being refused health and social care funding for equipment to improve their lives.
Kyra, of Fitzwilliam, has cerebral palsy, autism and is also one of just two youngsters in the world with the blood disorder methemoglobinemia.
She needed a special seat to keep her secure in the car as she travels to medical appointments.
But mum Heather Storey, 28, had to use a makeshift tupperware box to cover the buckle to stop Kyra undoing it after the equipment was deemed non-essential.
She first turned to Newlife, a charity which fundraises for equipment for disabled and terminally-ill children. Cash for the car seat has now been found through the disabled adaptations scheme Motability.
Mrs Storey, 28, said: “I cried when they told me we had got it. It means we’ll be able to go out safely in the car.
“I don’t think a lot of people realise how much of an issue it is for us as a family.
“Kyra has to go to a lot of appointments and she has just joined a disabled football team.”
Newlife believes that one in three disabled and terminally-ill youngsters are not being provided with the essential equipment they need.
The charity said it hears daily from families whose children have to sleep on the floor because they cannot get a specialist bed or miss school after being refused a wheelchair.
The UK has been criticised in a report by the United Nations which found that the government was not doing enough to ensure the rights of disabled people to live independently.
Karen Dobson, a consultant nurse with Newlife, said: “It’s tragic, but children and their families are facing refusal for equipment every day.
“They face 12 months or longer just for an assessment and some are refused an assessment altogether.”

Biological systems are complex entities whose behavior emerges from an enormous number of reactions taking place within and among different internal molecular districts. The dissection and the modeling of the entities and the interactions constituting these interactions are essential in biological processes behind normal and pathological conditions as well as the perturbations induced by the exposure to external molecules like drugs. The recent explosion of omics data fueled the creation of diverse systems biology models. The majority of these are focused on the representation of interactions taking place in single molecular districts and have been successfully used to perform sample stratification, especially in cancer disease. Despite the usefulness proven by these models, they still did not reach the level of complexity needed to distinguish different biological conditions.
One step forward in this direction is the creation of multi-omics models capturing the dynamics taking place within and between omics layers. This latter approach needs powerful modeling strategies and is still an open research field.
We propose the application of a powerful AI technique based on graph embedding for the creation of a system that, starting from multi-omics measurements, is able to model and generate knowledge about multi-omics interactions.
Here we present a novel approach implemented as an R package named MultiOmics Network Embedding forSubType Analysis (MoNETA) for the identification of relevant multi omics relationships between biological samples.
This approach has been applied in the identification of different cancer subtypes using multi omics data form the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) datasets.
MoNETA will be freely available as an R package at https://github.com/BioinfoUninaScala/MoNETA.

The Politics of Ressentiment
Conor Friedersdorf pokes some holes in Matt Continetti’s desperate attempt to paint substantive criticism of Sarah Palin’s published arguments as some kind of mob persecution. He’s got a fine case on the specifics, but I think misses the mark when he dubs the modern right’s obsession with its own supposed victimizationÂ an instance of the “politics of schadenfreude.”Â If you’re going to import hoity-toity foreign terms into your political analysis, you may as well play fully to type and pick a French one, which happens to be more accurate in the instance anyway.Â Schadenfreude is as ubiquitous in politics as in any other competitive game; you can bet Democrats in the ’20s wereÂ laughing their asses off over Teapot Dome. The word he wants is ressentiment:
Ressentiment is a sense of resentment and hostility directed at that which one identifies as the cause of one’s frustration, an assignation of blame for one’s frustration. The sense of weakness or inferiority and perhaps jealousy in the face of the “cause” generates a rejecting/justifying value system, or morality, which attacks or denies the perceived source of one’s frustration. The ego creates an enemy in order to insulate itself from culpability.
Conservatism is a political philosophy; the farce currently performing under that marquee is an inferiority complex in political philosophy drag. Sure, there’s an element of “schadenfreude” in the sense of “we like what annoys our enemies.” But the pathology of the current conservative movement is more specific andÂ convoluted.Â Palin irritates the left, but so would lots of vocal conservatives if they were equally prominentâ€”and some of them are probably even competent to hold office. Palin gets to play sand in the clam precisely because she so obviously isn’t. She doesn’t just irritate liberals in some generic way: she evokes their contempt. Forget “Christian conservative”; she’s a Christ conservative, strung up on the media cross on behalf of all God’s right-wing children.
Think back to the 2004 RNCâ€”which I happened to be up in New YorkÂ covering. After witnessing three days of inchoate, spittle-flecked rage from the people who had the run of all three branches of government, some wag (probably Jon Stewart) puzzled over the “anger of the enfranchised.” And it would be puzzling if the driving force here were a public policy agenda, rather than a set of cultural grievances. Jay Gatsby learned too late that wealth alone wouldn’t confer the status he had truly craved all along. What we saw in ‘04 was fury at the realization that ascendancy to political power had not (post-9/11 Lee Greenwood renaissance notwithstanding) brought parallel cultural power.Â The secret shame of the conservative base is that they’ve internalized the enemy’s secular cosmopolitan value set and status hierarchyâ€”hence this obsession with the idea that somewhere, someone who went to Harvard might be snickering at them.
The pretext for converting this status grievance into a political one is the line that the real issue is the myopic policy bred by all this condescension and arroganceâ€”but the policy problems often feel distinctly secondary.Â Check out the RNC’s new ad on health reform, taking up the Tea Party slogan “Listen to Me!”Â There’s almost nothing on the substantive objections to the bill; it’s fundamentally about people’s sense of powerlessness in a debate that seems driven by wonks. To the extent that Obama enjoyed some initial cross-partisan appeal, I think it owed a lot to his recognition that most people care less about actual policy outcomes than they do about feeling that they’re being heard and respected.
Or consider the study Ryan Sager highlighted a while back, showing that many SUV owners don’t merely think their choice of vehicles is harmless or morally neutral, but positively virtuous. Apparently the “moralistic critique of their consumption choices readily inspired Hummer owners to adopt the role of the moral protagonist who defends American national ideals.” Note two things here.Â First, this is classic ressentiment: It’s not just that SUVs are great in themselves because they somehow “embody” some set of ideals. They’re good just because they symbolize an inversion of the “anti-American” values of critics. Second, think what it reveals that people feel the need to construct these kinds of absurd rationalizationsâ€”to make their cars heroic rather than simply denying that they do much harm. It betrays an incredible sensitivity, not to excessive taxes or regulations on the vehicles, but to the feeling of being judged.
Since everyone’s favorite way to excuse indefensible political behavior is to point out that they staaaaaarted it, let me point out that the ’70s mantra that the “personal is political” and some of the the ’90s obsession with policing language and attitudesÂ probably exacerbated the blurring of lines between questions of public justice and matters of personal virtue. Hell, we can translate the the basic beef of the Tea Partiers into faddish 90s jargon easily enough: They’re reacting against a hegemonic discourse in the centers of power that constructs them simultaneously as a bearers of class privilege and as a bestial Other.Â The elevation of figures like Palin represents an attempt to reappropriate an oppressive stereotype, akin to the way some hip-hop embraces a caricaturish racist vision of violent black masculinity. To be sure, most of what gets cast as “oppression” here is just the decline of privilege, but the perception is what matters for the social dynamic.
Ultimately, this is a doomed project: Even if conservatives retook power, they wouldn’t be able to provide a political solution to a psychological problem, assuming they’re not willing to go the Pol Pot route. At the same time, it signals a resignation to impotence on the cultural front where the real conflict lies.Â It effectively says: We cede to the bogeyman cultural elites the power of stereotypical definition, so becoming the stereotype more fully and grotesquely is our only means of empowerment.
To see how the difference between ressentiment and simple schadenfreude matters, consider Palin one more time.Â If the goal is just to antagonize liberals, making her the Republican standard-bearer seems tactically bizarre, since ideally you want someone who isn’t so repugnant to independents as to be unelectable. If the animating force is ressentiment,Â the leader has to be a loser to really deserve the role. Which is to say, expect the craziness to get worse before it gets better.

D-backs bring back 3B Eric Chavez for 2014 season
On Friday, the team officially announced that they had agreed to terms with Chavez -- confirming multiple reports on the matter earlier in the week.
It was known that the Valley resident was interested in rejoining the Diamondbacks, but he was reportedly monitoring the team's offseason activity while gauging his decision.
CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, who originally reported the deal on Wednesday, when the agreement was just verbal, reports that the contract is worth $4.5 million, as long as the third baseman makes the roster out of spring training.
When healthy, the left-handed hitting Chavez played a key bench role for the Diamondbacks last season -- hitting .281/ .332/ .478 with 44 RBI over 80 games.
Chavez twice hit the 15-day disabled list last season, once with an oblique injury and once with a knee strain while missing 15 and 25 games respectively on the stints. In July, the former Oakland Athletic and New York Yankee also missed four games with a hip injury.
The six-time Gold Glover (2001-2006) boasts a .268 lifetime batting average, tallying 257 career home runs and an .818 on-base plus slugging percentage. He captured a Silver Slugger award in 2002 for his offensive exploits as the Athletics' third baseman.

Pay television exists to make revenue from subscribers, and sometimes those subscribers do not pay. The prevention of piracy on cable and satellite networks has been one of the main factors in the development of Pay TV encryption systems.
The early cable-based Pay TV networks used no security. This led to problems with people connecting to the network without paying. Consequently, some methods were developed to frustrate these self-connectors. The early Pay TV systems for cable television were based on a number of simple measures. The most common of these was a channel-based filter that would effectively stop the channel being received by those who had not subscribed. These filters would be added or removed according to the subscription. As the number of television channels on these cable networks grew, the filter-based approach became increasingly impractical.
Other techniques such as adding an interfering signal to the video or audio began to be used as the simple filter solutions were easily bypassed. As the technology evolved, addressable set-top boxes became common, and more complex scrambling techniques such as digital encryption of the audio or video cut and rotate (where a line of video is cut at a particular point and the two parts are then reordered around this point) were applied to signals.
Encryption was used to protect satellite-distributed feeds for cable television networks. Some of the systems used for cable feed distribution were expensive. As the DTH market grew, less secure systems began to be used. Many of these systems (such as OAK Orion) were variants of cable television scrambling systems that affected the synchronisation part of the video, inverted the video signal, or added an interfering frequency to the video. All of these analogue scrambling techniques were easily defeated.
In France, Canal+ launched a scrambled service in 1984. It was also claimed that it was an unbreakable system. Unfortunately for that company, an electronics magazine, “Radio Plans”, published a design for a pirate decoder within a month of the channel launching.
In the USA, HBO was one of the first services to encrypt its signal using the VideoCipher II system. In Europe, FilmNet scrambled its satellite service in September 1986, thus creating one of the biggest markets for pirate satellite TV decoders in the world, because the system that FilmNet used was easily hacked. One of FilmNet’s main attractions was that it would screen hard-core porn films on various nights of the week. The VideoCipher II system proved somewhat more difficult to hack, but it eventually fell prey to the pirates.

Aiding the sick is a fundamental facet of our shared humanity. Healthcare, like shelter and food, is a basic human right, and it is the way that we help those who arrive on our shores with nothing that is the benchmark of our civilisation.
Europe is facing a refugee crisis unprecedented since the second world war. Doctors of the World is on the frontline, helping refugees in the UK and abroad. Having escaped from fascist Italy with my parents in 1939, I am particularly proud of our work with refugees – though the journey was much easier for us than for the thousands who cross Europe today. I am also delighted that the Guardian and Observer have chosen Doctors of the World to benefit from its charity appeal to help refugees.
Depending on the route they take, a refugee travelling from Syria could be helped by Doctors of the World medics in dozens of clinics along the way in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Greece, the Balkans and across most of Europe’s major cities.
Quite often they will need basic treatment for coughs and colds, sore or infected feet, toothache, scabies and other problems worsened by poor living conditions, lack of food and out-and-out exhaustion. But occasionally these doctors and nurses must deal with more serious things: children crushed by trucks, childbirth, miscarriages, kidney failures and deep vein thrombosis, to name a few recent cases.
Sometimes even ill health does not stop refugees from moving forward, with the fear of retracing their steps and losing their group outweighing the risks of giving birth on the roadside, or even the risk of death.
As conditions worsen across Europe and borders tighten, the situation is becoming frantic.
Idomeni, on the Greece-Macedonia border, is in chaos, with no one being let through who is not from Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan. This is causing a backlog of people who are desperate, often violently, as they have nowhere else to go.
In parts of Croatia, aid agencies are refused direct access to refugees as they are herded like cattle through transit points so they pass as quickly as possible, forcing charity workers to throw aid and medicines over fences.
In Dunkirk in northern France, more than 2,000 Kurds and Iranians, including many families with small children, remain stranded in flimsy tents in a cold, boggy field with almost no facilities.
Governments are doing very little, obliging charities to step in. In Calais and Dunkirk, for example, French and British government spending goes on fences, sniffer dogs and cameras, rather than food, water and shelter.
Almost no spending goes on treating those who injure themselves on those fences or who are, increasingly, beaten up or teargassed by security forces. One refugee, after having his arm seriously injured by police, told medics he wished he had died in Syria, rather than living through such humiliation in northern France.
This humiliation – the indignity of the living conditions and the hostility of the authorities – exacerbates the mental health of those already traumatised by war.
Doctors of the World recently took the French government to court, winning a case that has forced them to identify unaccompanied minors in the Calais camps and fit more taps, toilets and rubbish collection points. And this will also put more pressure on them to finally provide healthcare.
For this is what needs to happen – as well as helping refugees on the ground with our donations and time, we must put pressure on governments to do much more, whether that be through the courts, the Commons or the media.
The biggest movement of people since the second world war needs the biggest response we can offer. One way or another, it is what our generation will be remembered for.
Richard Rogers is an architect . He is a Trustee of Doctors of the World UK.

Stocks were little changed in choppy trading after being lower on Monday as Europe's debt problems dominated investors' concerns, with the focus heavily on Italy's political turmoil.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi defied pressure to resign as he struggled to hold a crumbling center-right coalition, with markets on edge before a key parliamentary vote on budget reforms.
Italian government bond yields rose to their highest since 1997 -- approaching levels regarded as unsustainable -- as political turmoil in Rome threatened to drag the euro zone's third largest economy deeper into regional debt crisis.
Adding to the uncertainty, Greece's outgoing Socialist prime minister and conservative opposition leader raced to forge a coalition government and implement a new bailout program.
Equities have been very sensitive to headlines from Europe, especially with a light U.S. economic calendar this week and as earnings season winds down.
The CBOE Volatility Index VIX, Wall Street's fear gauge, added 5.4 percent to 31.79. Fresh worries about sovereign debt default have boosted the stock market's volatility.
Both cross-asset correlation and volatility contagion increased between equities and sovereign debt, said Mandy Xu, equity derivatives strategist at Credit Suisse in New York.
The volatile spillover impact from sovereign debt is now approaching the highs we saw in July during the second Greek bailout discussion.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 1.97 points, or 0.02 percent, at 11,985.21. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 0.13 point, or 0.01 percent, at 1,253.10. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 6.55 points, or 0.24 percent, at 2,679.60.
Financials and industrial stocks were the biggest decliners, with the S&P financial sector off 0.9 percent and the capital goods group off 0.7 percent. Bank of America Corp lost 2.3 percent to $6.34.
Warren Buffett's conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway Inc, reported a smaller third-quarter profit late Friday after losing more than $2 billion on derivatives related to stock market performance. The Class B shares fell 1.4 percent to $76.13.
Consumer electronics chain Best Buy Co Inc lost 3.3 percent to $26.40 after the consumer electronics chain said it was buying British partner Carphone Warehouse Group Plc for $1.3 billion and scrapping plans for a chain of European megastores.
About 3.2 billion shares traded so far on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, slightly below average.
On the NYSE, decliners beat advancers by a ratio of 3-to-1, and on the Nasdaq, the ratio stood at 3-to-1.

In Compile Heart’s quest to bring the Neptunia franchise to every genre of gaming in existence, a new project called NepuNepu Connect: Chaos Chanpuru has been announced. NepuNepu will be a card battle game for the PlayStation Vita. More than another spin-off title for the Neptunia universe, this game will include characters from many of Compile Heart’s games.
Announced last week with a countdown website more details about NepuNepu Connect: Chaos Chanpuru have been revealed in Dengeki Playstation and translated over at Gematsu. The crossover Vita game will feature a new heroine and original story. The new character designed by Manamitsu is protagonist Yuriina. She must save her world from chaos energy by winning 2D card battles and finding the gold fragments. Cards will be moved with the PS Vita’s touchscreen in order to battle.
The game will incorporate over 100 characters from Compile Heart properties including Neptunia, Fairy Fencer F and Omega Quintet. Some characters have already been hinted at with silhouette's featured on the countdown website. From the Neptunia universe players can expect Neptune, IF and Compile. Characters from the Fairy Fencer F franchise are Fang and Eryn. Other revealed characters are Faust from Trillion: God of Destruction and Momoka and Kyouka from Omega Quintet.
Scans from Otakamu show other characters that are likely in the game, like Neptunia’s Noire, Compa and Vert along with the CPU’s goddess forms, just to name a few. These scans give insight into how the card battle game will play. There’s a grid-like battlefield and what appears to be the usual visual novel style cutscenes found in Compile Heart games.
A trailer will be launching on July 28th to reveal more about the new game. NepuNepu Connect : Chaos Chanpuru is a PS Vita title expected to launch in Japan sometime in 2016. The game will be free-to-play with microtransactions.
Are you excited for a new Compile Heart game with popular characters? Or are you tired of the old characters getting pasted onto new gameplay?

TORRANCE -- Losing a pair of games in a California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) South Regional Playoff best-of-three series, the Riverside City College (RCC) Tigers fastpitch softball team --seeded No. 14 -- saw its season come to an end against the No. 3-seeded (and host) El Camino College (ECC) Warriors last Friday-Saturday, May 5-6.
Riverside City lost the series opener last Friday (May 5), 9-4, when the host Warriors broke a 4-4 tie with five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. RCC trailed, 3-0, after the first inning, only to score three runs in the top of the second inning to forge a 3-3 tie. Frosh SS Kailee Gilbert (Moreno Valley - Canyon Springs HS) provided the big hit, a two-run double to left-center field.
The Tigers took a 4-3 lead in the top of the fifth inning on a RBI single by frosh 2B A'loni Appleton (Rialto / Grand Terrace HS) before ECC tied the game in the bottom of the frame. Appleton went two for four with one run and one RBI. Gilbert also went two for four with two RBI.
RCC starting sophomore RHP Laura Mendez (Rialto - Carter HS) went the first 5-1/3 innings and allowed six runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks with one strikeout. Mendez' record fell to 11-12.
In game two of the series, again host El Camino had a big first inning as it rolled out to a 4-0 lead. ECC led, 6-0, after four nnings before Riverside cut the deficit to 6-3 with a three-run top of the fifth. Frosh RF Kayla Giannatasio (Corona - Santiago HS) hit a two-run single to highlight the Tigers' action.
Riverside added a run in the top of the seventh and had the bases loaded to get close. RCC starting sophomore LHP Emily Wilcox (Alta Loma - Alta Loma HS) went the distance (6.0 innings) and allowed six runs (earned) on eight hits and two walks with one strikeout as her record finished at 3-6.
Riverside finished its season at 18-22 overall, 8-12 in the Orange Empire Conference (OEC), good enough for sixth place.
El Camino (36-6 overall) advances to one of two four-team Super Regionals (May 12-14) with the survivor advancing to the four-team CCCAA Championship Tournament (May 19-21) to be played at the Dean and Ada Gay Sports Complex on the campus of Bakersfield College.
RCC was the 2013 CCCAA state tournament runner-up.

Declyn “Dex” Lauper, the son of music legend Cyndi Lauper, has been arrested in connection with a shooting incident in Harlem, New York City, law enforcement officials reported.
The arrest occurred on the evening of February 8, 2024, following a response by the New York Police Department (NYPD) to reports of gunfire.
The incident resulted in a 24-year-old victim being shot in the leg. Authorities have confirmed that the victim was promptly taken to the hospital and is currently in stable condition.
Lauper, 26, was apprehended at the scene with a loaded firearm in his possession. The NYPD has charged him with criminal possession of a weapon.
The arrest has sparked widespread media attention, given Lauper’s status as the offspring of an iconic figure in the music industry and his own career in the entertainment sector as a rapper.
Dex Lauper has had several interactions with the law prior to his recent arrest related to a shooting incident in Harlem.
One notable incident took place in July 2022 when Lauper was arrested at a memorial service for another rapper. Authorities detained him for being in possession of a stolen 2014 Mercedes Benz, which had been reported stolen in 2020 in the Bronx.
The arrest occurred as Lauper attended the service for Notti Osama, a young Hip-Hop artist tragically stabbed to death. Lauper was charged with unlawful possession of stolen property.
Dex Lauper has released several singles and music videos showcasing his rap skills and artistic direction. His debut project As Life Goes On featured contributions from well-known artists like Smoke DZA, A$AP TyY and Manolo Rose.

Aimed at users with a liking for multimedia, Sony announced the new iteration of its Experia XA2 models in the form of the Experia XA2 Plus today.
The XA2 Plus is a mid-range device from Sony which brings minimal changes coming from its predecessor. It has a Snapdragon 630 processor which has its potential doubled by either 3GB or 6GB of RAM depending on the storage option you choose. Speaking of that the XA2 Plus sports 32 GB and 64 GB storage options. However, by throwing in an external Micro SD, you’ll be able to gain some extra space.
The phone houses an oddly numbered 23-megapixel camera at the back and an 8-megapixel wide-angle sensor at the front. And like most Android smartphones these days, the fingerprint sensor is placed at the back right below the camera sensor. The idea that this phone is created for multimedia enthusiasts is backed by the XA2 Plus’ 1080p display with an 18:9 aspect ratio- which is a noticeable upgrade from the XA2’s 16:9 ratio. The bezels are slimmed off a little bit, but the phone still comes with significant bezels at the top and bottom. This is kind of against the trend as most smartphones these days contain minimal bezels, if not eliminate them completely. But owing to the fact that the XA2 Plus is a budget smartphone, it’s acceptable to not have a bezel-less design.
Additionally, to fulfill your multimedia desires, Sony has packed in a 3580 mAh battery- which is just 420 mAh away from what is considered to be a phenomenal battery capacity. And just like some other Android smartphones in the vicinity, the phone has a USB-C port which supports Qualcomm’s fast charging capabilities. Another aspect to be considered when it comes to entertainment on a device is sound quality and Sony has added first in its class Hi-res audio to support the cause. This is possible because of Sony’s Digital Sound Enhancement Engine. The phone also boasts improved Bluetooth streaming with LDAC- which is also a product of Sony.
“Xperia XA2 Plus sports a sleek, understated 18:9 aspect design, with metallic finishing, super-narrow bezels, and thin borders. The beautiful and durable 6” Full HD+ display is bright and sharp, with stunning colors for a natural viewing experience – and it’s built to last with Corning®Gorilla® Glass 5, to help protect against accidental drops. It includes a mini-display mode, letting you switch between a smaller and larger on-screen interface, for easy one-handed operation and typing.”
Xperia XA2 Plus – Designed to entertain
The XA2 Plus will ship with Android Oreo out of the box and it’ll be available in silver, black, gold, and green colors. Its pricing, however, is not known yet, but it is to be expected around $450 judging by the fact that the XA2 is priced at $450. Lastly, Sony will start shipping units in August this year.
I won’t say that Sony has done a breakthrough job launching a phone as such, but it is definitely a noticeable upgrade from other budget smartphones aimed at enhancing multimedia hospitalities. You’ll be able to enjoy streaming content on this phone at a whole new level owing to its battery life and decent processing power. But that is at the backend. The real degree of entertainment will be enhanced by its upgraded displays, which is a trend you’ll notice with smartphones in this line. For a phone mainly focused on multimedia, you could hit some boulders doing other stuff, which is an issue dealt with by most Android OEM’s. However, it is only after you actually use the device, you come to know how it fares in such areas.

As much as I love Christmas itself and all its jollity, these days, the days in between Christmas and New Year which I almost always try to take as holiday, are probably my favourite days of the year. After all, it’s Friday lunchtime (I think) and I’m still in my pyjamas, watching an old Hitchcock movie on television and eating pancakes. How can anyone not love days like this?
I have found the blog pretty tough going at times this year but I am beyond glad that I persevered and I can look back on 2012 with a definite sense of pride in what I’ve built here. Thanks to the wonders of pinterest/foodgawker, my top two posts for this year were both actually posted in November 2011 (which suggests that maybe I should have upped my game in 2012) but I’ve been through my stats and dug out what were the 12 most popular posts that I wrote this year…
With Christmas over, thoughts inevitably turn to the new year. 2012 turned out to be such a mixed bag that I have absolutely no idea what 2013 has in store. There will be good times though, I’m pretty sure of that.
So, happy new year to all of you and I hope that 2013 brings you all that happiness that you could want.

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) - An independent educational institute unveiled a plan on Thursday that would provide preschool to all children within five years.
The Center for American Progress , which works closely with the White House, wants make pre-kindergarten programs available to all 3-and 4-year-olds.
To make that happen, however, it would cost nearly $200 billion over the next 10 years. Once it's up and running, universal preschool would then cost up to $25 billion every year.
One Chicopee man told 22News it sounds good in theory, but it's not practical in a country that's broke.
"We are $16.6 trillion in debt. If we were a family, couldn't afford it. Would we go out and spend more and more money on all these good things?" Al Dislascia of Chicopee said. "Throwing money at problems does not work."
President Obama will give his State of the Union Address on Tuesday. He has said that he wants to focus on early education in his second term, but it is unclear whether he will discuss this preschool plan.

I've always loved to draw and spent much of my childhood drawing and colouring. I developed a strong sense of shape in my drawing from an early age and had a strong confident line. Through a traditional art education I learnt to draw in a realistic way and render light and shade, shape and tone. Drawing in a way that was purely about how the world looked took away all the enjoyment. It was later that I realised that my enjoyment of drawing is about story and narrative. It is as much about how the world feels as about how it looks. I gained confidence in expressing my world with my own visual language. I am inspired by naive and folk art.
When I started to run workshops to share my mixed media techniques I realised that lots of people have lost a joy of drawing because of all the 'shoulds' attached to it. In my workshops I try to liberate your inner artist to play, explore and find a personal, visual way of expressing your relationship to that which we see.
Drawing in a sketchbook creates a space to collect ideas and to make images without worrying about a final outcome. My mantra is 'Real not perfect'!
I have published my seasons sketchbooks with images from my sketchbooks and archive. Each one is a beautiful 15cm x 15cm full colour, 80 page book filled with sketches, photos, studio shots, text, and images of my originals.
Each season has a different feel and colour palette to capture the energy of the season.
I hope the books inspire you to create and to notice the miracles of life.
You can buy them here.
My Garden Studio is where I create my art. I sketch out and about in the landscape and take memories back to the studio to work from. It is where I am surrounded by my favourite books, art materials, music and draws and draws of collected papers. It is rarely tidy but is full of soul! It looks out onto my garden and through the window I see the coming and going of local cats, the neighbourhood fox and the birds that come to collect seed from my vegetable plot. In the summer the doors are open and the light floods in. In winter it gets cold and you'll find me cosy in a hat and scarf. My studio is my workplace, but also my spirit space. Time flies when I'm in the studio - I find it a restorative space.

Nakheel breaks ground on $194.11mn Dragon Towers construction
Nakheel today broke ground on Dragon Towers, its $194.11mn twin-building residential project at the rapidly-expanding Dragon City mixed-use community.
The ceremony, led by Nakheel Chairman Ali Rashid Lootah, comes a month after the developer awarded a contract for $150mn to UAE-based Ali Mousa & Sons Contracting to build the project – the first residential component at Dragon City and the only high-rise in the area. It is due for completion in 2021.
Dragon Towers, which went on sale last month with prices from $122,000 is connected by a covered bridge to the world-famous Dragon Mart and its 5,000 shops, restaurants and attractions. The project comprises two 37-storey buildings each with 571 stylish one- and two-bedroom apartments. There are also two floors of retail space, four parking levels and a sixth-floor podium level Clubhouse with a 25-metre swimming pool, children’s pool, restaurant, gym and tennis court.

Dragon Towers is a key component of Nakheel’s ongoing retail, hospitality and residential expansion at Dragon City, which currently comprises sister malls Dragon Mart 1 and 2 and an ibis Styles hotel. A new showroom and car park complex and a Premier Inn hotel are in advanced stages of construction, with further expansions in the pipeline.

Ebbsfleet striker Darren McQueen has joined Sutton United on a permanent deal.
He becomes the first player to leave Stonebridge Road since Fleet announced their financial restructure and desire to reduce the playing budget.
McQueen scored the goal which clinched Ebbsfleet's promotion to the National League in May 2017.
McQueen, 23, initially joined Fleet on loan from Maldon & Tiptree in 2016 before agreeing a permanent move despite offers from Football League clubs.
He was their top scorer that season, with 20 goals, as Daryl McMahon's side went up via the play-offs.
But McQueen suffered a serious knee injury in September 2017 just as he seemed to be getting to grips with non-league's top flight.
The pacy striker made his comeback this summer and scored his first goal for more than a year in the 1-1 draw at Dover on September 4.
But his opportunities were limited under both McMahon and his successor, Garry Hill, with McQueen making just four starts in the league.
In total, the England C international scored 25 goals in 72 appearances for Ebbsfleet and he joins a Sutton side sitting seventh in the National League.

23. U.S.: Urban Farming in Detroit
Nearly 40% of Detroit residents live below the poverty line and 21% of metro Detroiters are food insecure. Keep Growing Detroit (KGD) was established to promote a food sovereign city where the majority of fruits and vegetables Detroiters consume are grown by residents within the city’s limits. The aim is not only to provide residents with seeds to increase food security but to achieve “food sovereignty,” where residents are the leaders and beneficiaries of a transformed food system, able to make decisions about the health, wealth, and future of their families and community.
The grant from BGR will support KGD’s ongoing programs. These include: (1) The Garden Resource Program, which helps increase access to healthy food by providing technical and resource support to 1,500 urban gardens and farms in Detroit, including 400 new gardens in 2017. Together these gardens will produce over 180 tons of fresh, nutritious, locally grown produce for predominately low-income families and engage more than 16,000 residents. (2) Twenty-two events including 16 educational workshops and 6 garden workdays reaching 440 residents. At these events a diverse pool of community leaders and instructors, many Garden Resource growers, will provide hands-on instruction on basic gardening, water conservation, and food preservation techniques to build the skills and confidence of urban farmers. Annually renewable project
24. Vietnam: Enhanced Homestead Food Production
This is the second year of a three-year partnership between BGR and Helen Keller International that addresses household food security for residents of Muong Lang Commune, in Son La Province, a remote mountainous region in the northwest of Vietnam. There is high malnutrition in this region, which is a contributing factor to 50% of infant and childhood deaths. The Enhanced Homestead Food Production (EHFP) program trains multi-generation families to increase year-round food production with more diversified crops to improve nutrition and thereby to improve health. In all over 100 families in 10 villages will benefit from the program (approximately 550 individuals). The grant from BGR sponsors a third of the program.
In year two, an additional ten communities will benefit from the establishment of Village Model Farms (VMF)—a community based resource for training and technical support for the roughly ten families that typically make up each small village. Within each village a community husband and wife are identified and trained as the VMF demonstration farmers. These VMFs will provide agriculture resources for the community households (i.e. seeds), educate families on nutrient rich crops, and provide hands on training including bio-composting, crop diversification, sanitation and hygiene, and even marketing strategies for income generation from sale of excess food production. The family model empowers women to actively contribute to the improved health of their village.
25. Vietnam: System of Rice Intensification in Dai Tu District
This project is conducted in partnership with the International Cooperation Center of Thai Nguyen University. The project aims to introduce the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) to farmers in Dai Tu district, a mountainous region located in the northwest of Thai Nguyen Province. Rice farmers from two communes and agriculture extension staffs of Dai Tu district will be trained on SRI. Most of the farmers are women. The training will help them to reduce their work burden in rice production and improve rice productivity. After training, the trainees will return to their communes to teach other farmers how to apply SRI on their rice fields. They will be the key farmers to expand the SRI model in their villages and in 31 communes and towns in the future. 160 rice farmers will be the direct beneficiaries of the project, and about 1,000 other farmer households will be indirect beneficiaries.
Project activities include meeting with various district and commune leaders and with state agricultural experts for the introduction of SRI, providing SRI training for farmers in two pilot communes, conducting field trips for participants to get direct hands-on experience in SRI techniques, establishing SRI production in the rice fields of the pilot communes with further training. The program will provide ongoing support for these pilot fields, with final workshops held to share knowledge and experience more widely with farmers throughout the district. Annually renewable project
26. Vietnam: Meals for Hospital Patients at Tam Binh Hospital
In Vietnam, the price of a hospital stay does not include food. Already challenged by the hospital expenses, most patients and their families are hard pressed to buy food. In partnership with the Tam Binh chapter of the Vietnam Red Cross Society, since 2009 BGR has been providing thousands of free meals to patients at the Tam Binh hospital. With the grant from BGR and the support from the Tam Binh local chapter of the Red Cross, 500 vegetarian meals are served daily to hospital patients. A total of 3500 meals will be served per week, or 182,000 meals per year for hospital patients. BGR funds will be divided among fifteen Red Cross teams. Each team will be able to provide meals for four weeks to hospital patients. Thus, fifteen teams would provide hospital meals for an entire year. This project supports the nutritional needs of some of the most vulnerable people—those who are poor and sick. Annually renewable project
27. Vietnam: Scholarships for Poor Children in Tam Binh and Cam Duong Districts
Each year BGR sponsors scholarships to students in schools in both the Tam Binh and Cam Duong districts of Vietnam. The scholarships are given by the Vietnam Red Cross Society. With BGR funding, the Red Cross will be able to provide scholarships to 305 students from the Tam Binh district at the levels of primary, middle, and high school, and to 400 students from the Cam Duong district at the levels of primary and middle school. BGR funds will be used to provide annual enrollment fees, school uniforms, books, and educational materials for the 2017–1018 school year. These are children from the poorest families who achieve good grades and display good conduct. Without this aid, these students would not have the means to continue their studies. The scholarship also provides each student with basic health care during the school year. Annually renewable project
28. Haiti: Supporting the Nutrition of Poor Children in Jacmel
The mission of the Joan Rose Foundation—a U.S.-based nonprofit—is to give impoverished children and their families in Jacmel, Haiti, the opportunity to succeed in life. For the past six years the Foundation has been providing education, food, medicine, clothing, and legal documentation with the ultimate goal of breaking the cycle of poverty for poor children and their families. The food program has always been one of JRF’s biggest expenses. Feeding the children allows them to focus in school and tutoring sessions, improves their overall nutrition and wellbeing, and takes a financial burden and stress off their parents. The BGR grant will allow the Foundation to continue providing the children with two nutritious meals, breakfast and lunch, Monday through Friday. Part of the BGR grant will be used to obtain the help of SUCO, a Canadian NGO based in Jacmel that specializes in agriculture production, nutritional education. and diet. This portion of the grant will be used to bring SUCO into the community to conduct workshops with the children and community members. The grant will cover this training, workbooks, additional farming tools, and seeds.

Let’s hear from Nils Frahm, the German virtuoso pianist and composer.
For the recent Piano Day at the end of March he announced and released a surprise album titled Graz, which it turns out was his debut studio album that was never released.
It’s a raw, snapshot of his work before the huge international success that would follow in the past decade, extensive concert hall tours around the globe in some of the world’s most historic venues.
The album was recorded over three days at Mumuth, the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz in Austria.
Pieces like Hammers and Went Missing evolved into a key part of his live set and later appeared on his breakthrough Spaces record in 2013, which was a collage of field recordings from concerts.
His playing has evolved since 2009 with Frahm incorporating more of a jazz influence with the classical and electronic textures. This fusion and his live shows - complete with highly entertaining chat in between the pieces - has made him somewhat of a household name in the contemporary classical realm.
I spoke to Nils Frahm from Berlin for BBC Radio 6 Music to find out more about the making of Graz and why he decided it was time to put this out into the world…

There are numerous drug treatment facilities options available to the people living in the Marion region. It is very important recognize each one of the varieties of treatment possibilities that are available in Marion, AB., in order to select the appropriate treatment approach for yourself or a loved one. Choosing the right drug treatment facility in Marion is the most important factor in the treatment of drug abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. This info will help ensure you recognize your various rehab choices allowing you to have the highest possibility of an ideal outcome.
Let's check out the many drug rehabilitation facilities in Marion, Virginia options that correlate with the condition of the person in search of rehab.
Inpatient drug rehabilitation in Marion, AB. is a treatment choice best for many who require medical intervention during rehab or individuals with considerable substance abuse histories. Men and women will experience mental and physical dependence to alcohol and drugs even after a brief amount of time, so inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Marion is regarded as the most effective rehab possibility in nearly all situations. On account of dependence and addiction, people will usually not be able to recover using the limited solutions made available from outpatient rehab centers in Marion, Virginia where drugs and alcohol are still easily available when they depart the outpatient center. Likewise, men and women in treatment who take part in outpatient rehab as opposed to inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Marion continue to be susceptible to damaging influences and circumstances that might cut across their recovery process. When someone lives with an abusive partner or continues to maintain relationships which involve drug use, any treatment endeavours in outpatient treatment are done in vain. For this reason in-patient drug and alcohol treatment in Marion, AB. is going to produce more tangible results that may prove lasting as opposed to an outpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation program where benefits are often very limited and acute.
In Marion there's both short-term and long-term inpatient drug rehabilitation. Short-term is a 30-day program, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Marion, Virginia is a lot more extensive and treatment lasts 3 to 6 months generally speaking. It becomes an ideal environment for clients because it is a safe and secure drug-free environment where they are able to heal both physically and mentally without distraction. Ideally, men and women proceed in a long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Marion for the maximum time period permitted, in order to handle anything that might jeopardize their sobriety once they depart treatment. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can require 2-3 weeks alone, the 3 to 6 months in long-term in-patient alcohol and drug rehab in Marion will be time well spent and much more effective than short-term facilities.
The most important factor of all if you or someone you love is struggling with a substance abuse or addiction concern is to do something about it, make calls and seek advice from skilled addiction specialists and get an assessment and treatment options to ensure the biggest chance for a recovery.
