While much of the Western world is only just beginning to embrace the notion of medical marijuana for humans, there’s an even more controversial debate lurking right around the corner… has anyone thought about giving their pet a strong dose of pot?
Immediately, images of dogs with great big marijuana joints hanging out of their mouths jump into your mind. Or perhaps a cute little kitten taking a good long drag on a bong and going into a fit of cute kitten coughs. While it’s a slightly hilarious mental picture, it’s obviously not accurate — how the heck would you get them to inhale the smoke anyway? Smoke a joint yourself and blow it into their face?
But beyond the practical (and ethical) dilemma such a scene represents, there’s another reason why your pet isn’t going to be ingesting marijuana: it’s not marijuana that they’re ingesting! Not the kind that you became familiar with in your rebellious teenage years, anyway.
The difference between marijuana and hemp
Let’s get one thing straight: hemp and marijuana are, indeed, the same species. There’s actually a lot of misconceptions surrounding what exactly hemp is, with many people thinking they’re either completely separate species, or that hemp is the male variety of Cannabis sativa and marijuana the female.
The truth is, hemp and marijuana are simply different cultivars of the exact same species. While marijuana contains high levels of THC, the cannabinoid that creates that mind-altering “high,” hemp is required by law to have a THC concentration of 0.3 percent or less. Also, depending on the specific cultivar, hemp often contains higher levels of the therapeutic active compound cannabidiol (CBD), which is responsible for almost all of Cannabis sativa’s health-promoting effects.
For this reason, most of the cannabis products on the market aimed at pets are in fact hemp, as this still elicits the therapeutic effects on your pet but doesn’t get them staring vacantly at the TV or eating everything in sight. The exception, of course, is those products specifically formulated for treating pet anxiety. In this case, a strong dose of THC from good old marijuana is just the ticket.
Should you give your pet marijuana for arthritis?
The short answer is: maybe. There’s a growing body of evidence to confirm that medical marijuana (and indeed hemp) has a huge range of beneficial effects on the body and mind of us humans. You can take your pick of the therapeutic powers of marijuana: cancer treatment, pain-alleviating, reduction in multiple sclerosis symptoms, epilepsy treatment and of course as an antidepressant.
And while our physiology may differ considerably from that of our pets, there are enough similarities to confirm that many of these same therapeutic effects of marijuana can also be experienced by our animals. Unfortunately, because it’s an emerging field, there’s not as much scientific evidence as one would like. But, what studies have been completed show a lot of promise. And there are the thousands of anecdotal case studies from pet owners all over the world to consider.
But before we dive any deeper, it’s important to emphasize that every pet is different. As you well know, they come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny little birds to Great Danes or even horses. For each species and indeed each breed, the dosage is always going to be different, meaning you should consult your vet before starting your problematic pet on a course of cannabis.
So, why should you give your pet marijuana to treat his or her health problems? Let’s find out.
Medical marijuana for arthritis
Many holistic vets across the country are recommending medical marijuana for the treatment of arthritis in certain animals, including cats and dogs. They maintain that the potent anti-inflammatory compounds in marijuana and hemp, largely in the form of CBD, can provide significant relief from pain in arthritic pets and enable them to have fuller, more enjoyable lives.
And there’s plenty of research out there, admittedly mostly conducted on rats and mice, that supports these veterinary claims. A study published in 2000 in the journal PNAS used a concentrated form of CBD (which you’ll recall is found in high concentrations in hemp, and to a lesser extent marijuana) to treat two different forms of arthritis in mice. They found that “in both models of arthritis, the treatment effectively blocked progression of arthritis.”
Another study, this time published in 2004, examined the therapeutic effect that CBD exhibited on rats that had been injected with inflammation-causing and arthritis-inducing carrageenan. Researchers concluded that the CBD had significant beneficial effects on many different markers of both inflammation and arthritis.
For this reason, using medical marijuana, hemp or a high-quality cannabidiol (CBD) treatment can provide good levels of relief for your pet, especially cats, dogs and (apparently) rats and mice. Combining CBD treatment with other holistic treatments, like massage, acupuncture (yup, acupuncture for pets is a thing!) and fish oil, can increase your chance of success.
Medical marijuana for IBS
Inflammatory bowel disease is a surprisingly common affliction in pets, particularly cats. By reducing inflammation, it’s possible that the CBD in marijuana may help to alleviate symptoms of IBS. By soothing their gastrointestinal tract, the CBD will also allow them to regain a healthy weight and be more enthusiastic about eating. Perhaps a little too enthusiastic at times!
Medical marijuana for anxiety
Just as it is in humans, anxiety is a very real problem in many pets. Our cat, Ollie, had all sorts of problems with anxiety, stemming from a very troubled “kittenhood” as an abandoned street cat. While we were able to soothe much of those anxieties away over years of TLC, he still suffered form serious bouts of anxiety from time to time, particularly when lightning storms rolled in across the lake. The last time this happened, he actually suffered from a complete urinary tract blockage, and we spent many hundreds of dollars and a harrowing week trying to bring him back from the brink with various drugs and anti-anxiety medications.
The CBD in medical marijuana has the ability to almost instantaneously foster feelings of tranquility and calm in pets, thereby helping them to overcome their anxiety. And while I don’t recommend regular use of marijuana to calm their frayed nerves, in scenarios like our beloved Ollie’s case, it may be a life-saving move.

Is the manual gearbox for Alto K10 better or the AGS AMT gearbox?
By: Sahil on 17 july 2016
The engine in the Alto K10 VXI manual as well as of the Alto K10 AGS AMT is the same. Due to the same engine the maximum output power remains almost the same at 67bhp. Therefore both the options are equally good and it is a matter of preference.
In my opinion, manual transmission is a better option for those who like to take pick-ups at a higher rpm range and also who enjoy the overall feel of driving. An automatic vehicle is suited for those who prefer a much smoother ride with lesser worry of acceleration and braking. It works best for those who have to travel a lot on day to day basis through congested roads and traffic. Also, your gearbox will react to how you drive the car and in my opinion if you use the manual gearbox well, then the car offers a much more powerful feel and an overall feel-good factor.

In this Slate.com article
, Dahlia Lithwick looks at legal beagle and philosopher Martha Nussbaum’s
book From Disgust to Humanity
, about the status of gays in America – where the legal system interacts with (thankfully changing) public opinion.
The “language of disgust” within the social and political arguments struck me as related to the current and historic state of heterosexual norms and assumptions.
Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council warned Larry King if gay soldiers could serve in the military, “we might have to return to the draft” because other soldiers would refuse to serve. Perkins noted that he had showered together with 80 other men during his own time in the military, and he’d feel threatened by a gay man showering there with him.
Is it possible that the fear associated with gay marriage and gays in the military taps into the presumption that men are sexually aggressive and that our society permits this aggression in heterosexual interactions because hey, women get raped? As soon as the mentality that presupposes that is faced with the idea of gay men, possibly at a physical advantage over the fearful straight (?) man/men around them, would have social permission to enact the same sort of aggressive sexual posture, they are put in the same position of women in society.
Are all men rapists? Of course not, but women have to entertain the possibility for their own safety. Creating legal and social permissiveness for homosexuality upsets a sexual power balance that everyone was sort of okay with, since men weren’t ever presupposed to be victims to the same extent that women are.
As she [Nussbaum] traces the genesis of the fear and disgust American feel toward homosexuals, she describes what she calls “projective disgust”—the magical thinking that allows us to believe that things that disgust us (i.e., male homosexuality) are contagious and that heterosexual sex is somehow better and less messy than it really is. So the reason male (as opposed to female) homosexual sex is ultimately experienced as so revolting and so terrifying, Nussbaum contends, is that it is viscerally threatening; it raises the possibility of being penetrated and violated. The very “gaze of a homosexual male is seen as contaminating because it says ‘you can be penetrated.’ “
There are those who believe that all men, if they were assured of there being no negative repercussions, would rape. In this case, then, the same people would suppose that gay men would, again, assuming an absence of punishment or social stigma, do the same. Actions to prevent gay marriage or gays in the military aren’t about the ‘sanctity’ of marriage or military coherance, it’s about maintaining social and legal strictures against the kind of freedom to rape than straight men currently have.
Is it legal? No. But are they going to get caught? Probably not – the woman will probably not report it (60% of rapes are not reported to the police), if she does, her wardrobe and sexual history will be used against her, and punishment is usually pretty meager (e.g. On campus, where serial rapists are allowed to continue their studies and face no legal reprisals).
Imagine if this same predatory assumption and social liberty were applied to gay men. Men might be raped. Can’t have that, now, can we? We might have to start taking rape a little more seriously as a crime against a person, rather than some hysterical women who were probably asking for it in the first place.
Obviously I don’t think homosexual men are predatory rapists, nor do I think there is any justification for inhibiting their liberty to work, live, marry, or serve in the military if they so choose.
My point is that in taking apart the fear and disgust Nussbaum talks about, we can see the sexism underlying the homophobia. And perhaps in drawing attention to it, we can start to treat the threat of “penetration” as universal, rather than a woman’s problem.

Skip to comments.(Paul v Clinton) PETER PAUL polygraph on YouTube: Hillary lied in her sworn declaration to the court
Posted on 02/02/2008 5:44:23 PM PST by doug from upland
WATCH THE YOUTUBE AND PLEASE PASS IT ALONG
On April 7, 2006, I was in the courtroom of Judge Aurelio Munoz in Los Angeles. David Kendall, counsel for Hillary Clinton, turned in a declaration to the court that is nothing short of a work of fiction. Munoz said: I will entertain no motion that prevents Senator Clinton from testifying in this case..........did you hear that, Mr. Kendall? Well, the wheels of justice turn slowly, but the time is coming closer.
A few months ago, Peter Paul submitted to a polygraph examination to answer a few questions about the business relationship with and promises from Bill Clinton. Clinton induced Paul to become Hillary's largest donor, the largest donor ever to a Senate campaign, with the promise that he would come aboard Stan Lee Media when he left the White House. Hillary, of course, was in the middle of it all.
Pursuant to the experienced polygraph examiner, Peter answered the questions truthfully. When Hillary swore under oath that she knew nothing of the business arrangement, she was lying. She has tended to do that when she is under oath.
Chelsea Clinton was witness to the arrangement and told witnessess at Barbra Streisand's home on Aug. 13, 2000 that the family stayed up late after the Aug. 12 Gala playing Scrabble and discussing how excited they were that dad was going to work for the man who created Spider Man (Stan Lee). Hillary has set up her own daughter to have to lie for her to protect her political future.
A trial date will be announced on Feb. 21 at the status conference in Paul v Clinton. She is expected to be under oath during the summer congressional recess. The hope is that the civil case will finally expose the campaign finance fraud.
And they who have no morals condemn the most vigorously those who are moral.
Peter Paul was a murdering pathological liar, and the woman politician was his innocent victim.
I don’t understand.
min = him
YouTube has already pulled it.
The episode's villain was a hustler who laundered campaign contributions through people who couldn't possibly donate the thousands that he reported to the FEC. He had many politicians beholden to him, including an angelic woman who everybody said would be President some day.
It was the episode called The Deadly Closet.
I’ll post it on Google and bring the link here.
David Beelzebub Kendall is just as evil, if not more so, the Mrs. & Ms. Caligula Clinton.
Well, it’s back on YouTube.
And there is the reason the left hates Christians.
I don’t want McCain for president. I don’t want him in the Senate. But those FReepers who would sit home or vote for Hillary have taken leave of their senses. We are her enemy, not merely someone who disagrees. Dave Schippers was right calling her evil incarnate.
Doug you have probably seen this but it’s still pretty good. Hillary with the code pinko’s ... 4:20 in admits that she doesn’t think Saddam will disarm..

|Sustainable Agriculture Project Overview|
This project seeks to undertake watershed development and sustainable agriculture practices in the Mahoba District of Bundelkhand, Uttar Pradesh.
Project LocationIn partnership with Gramonnati Sansthan, Mahoba, FORRAD has undertaken an integrated watershed development programme in Tola Swayam and Bilkhi villages of Mahoba District, Uttar Pradesh that lies in the drought prone area of Bundelkhand. The total watershed area is about 500 hectares that lies between the two villages and is a catchment for the Kumbhara nala that also acts as a natural divide between the two villages. Unlike the Sambhar Salt lake project, most of the work in this area will be done of private lands. As in the case of Rajasthan, strategic partnerships are being formed with relevant government departments in order to increase the reach and scope of the work. Plantation work in the some of project area is being undertaken in collaboration with the Forest Dept. The Forest Dept. has leveraged funds for plantations of Babool, Chilla and Ber trees in the designated watershed area. The duration of the project is 4 years (2010-2014)
Project RationaleThe 6th consecutive year of drought in Bundelkhand makes it imperative to undertake watershed development in the region. Due to the persistent drought since 2003, the level of ground water in the area has fallen to under 350 ft. The quality of ground water is poor and unfit for drinking. Drinking water sources like streams, wells and hand pumps begin to dry up by the onset of summer. It is important to treat the land so as to harness the rainwater and reduce surface run-off or water logging in low lying areas in order to make optimal use of water.
Water scarcity in the area has also created a livelihood crisis with repeated failure of crops and a decreased supply of fodder for livestock. The rate of migration is therefore also very high in these villages. Contamination of both surface and ground water sources has had severe health repercussions, more specifically intestinal infections and, in the case of women, urinary tract infections.
Community ParticipationAs with the other projects, village level committees have been formed with men and women farmers across caste divides, in both the villages to oversee the implementation of the project. These groups are also given consistent training in not just watershed development but also other related themes of sustainable agricultural practices like use of organic manure or low water intensive seed varieties and so on.

State names long-term care facilities where COVID-19 outbreaks and deaths have been reported
The Mississippi State Department of Health announced Tuesday it would release the names of long-term care facilities in the state where COVID-19 outbreaks had been reported.
It kept that promise, releasing the detailed report, naming the facilities and the number of confirmed cases and virus-related deaths connected to each facility. The report was released just before 10 p.m.
In the report, the state details three long-term care facilities in Warren County where outbreaks have been reported; Heritage House Nursing Center, Shady Lawn Health and Rehabilitation and The Bluffs Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center.
In total, the facilities, which all report active outbreaks, reported a total of 55 cases and seven deaths.
Shady Lawn reported one case involving an employee. The Bluffs reported two employee cases.
The majority of the cases — and all of the virus-related deaths — were connected to Heritage House.
In the report, Heritage House reported 14 employee cases and 38 involving residents with seven deaths.
Of the 10 overall deaths reported in Warren County during the COVID-19 pandemic, seven were connected to long-term care facilities.
In Claiborne County, it appears the recent spike in numbers in the county’s overall virus totals is connected to one outbreak at Claiborne County Senior Care, where 11 employees and 40 residents have tested positive. Four virus-related deaths have also now been reported at the facility.
Wednesday’s report is the first such detailed report issued by the state following a court ruling in favor of newspapers who had challenged the department’s decision to keep the information sealed.
Just recently, the state reported completing a testing cycle where all employees and residents of long-term care facilities were tested.

text: Last Friday was big day for my team and I, we played our schools biggest rival San Marcos at home. For decades our two schools have hated each other and wanted nothing more than to be on top. I remembered playing this team last year, so I knew how the team played and where their strengths were. This was also the first real game of channel league, so it was really important that we win. As I was warming up I also noticed that the umpire was one we had from a previous game and knew he wouldn’t make any good calls. Towards the beginning of the game, both teams were rowdy and ready to play ball. I was starting on the mound, so I knew I was going to try my best not to let my team down. The first inning we shut them out, they didn’t even come close to hitting the ball. We then proceeded to score two, making the other team even more discouraged. I felt really confident while playing this team, because they didn’t cause any concern to me while I was pitching. In the top of the fourth inning they scored three, but it was mostly on the counts of errors, so it didn’t effect me that much. We continued to fight though, scoring one to bring it back to a close game. They held us for a while, not allowing us to get on base. It became really annoying, because we knew how bad of a team they were and we didn’t know how they had any kind of momentum on their side. Also the umpire was making some very questionable calls behind the plate and in game. Besides the bad called strikes, I remember this one play where one of our runners were stealing second base and the he was way under the tag and got there before the ball even got there and the umpire called him out. It was unbelievable how bad an umpire could be, because all you have to do is use your eyes correctly and you can see everything that is going on. In the bottom of the sixth, we had the tying run on third base, and the pitcher did the dumbest thing in that situation. He tried to be clever and do a double leg kick and ended up bocking in the tying run. With the game now tied in the top of the seventh, all we needed to was shut them out, then we could have a chance at walking it off. We shut them out and now all we had to do was perfect the script and win the game. With one out and a runner on third the pitcher tried to throw a curve ball and completely threw it out of the zone. The runner from third came rushing in and we won the game with a walk off. If you enjoyed this post follow the blog, so you can keep up to date with everything that’s going on.

Smarter, healthier cities
with fine-grained, real-time air quality maps
Air pollution is one of the biggest problems and causes of death for our urbanised society. With a dense network of low-cost sensors and smart algorithms and analytics, imec at Holst Centre creates a fine-grained real-time air quality map to support smart city policies.
Air quality varies wildly according to location or time of day. So, you need to be able to take targeted actions instantly to ensure that everyone breathes healthy air, all of the time. Imec’s real-time cloud-based air quality monitoring approach raises the quality of low-cost off-the-shelf sensors for accurate measurements of NO2 or particulate matter levels. In this large-scale set-up, data is collected from a wide array of sources: from reference stations to citizen science sensors, and mobile sensors mounted on postal trucks, for example.
After automatic calibration and AI-based interpolation, this data can be used to make deep analyses and draw a fine-grained real-time air quality map that allows users or systems to take appropriate actions, with adaptive speed limits and dynamic traffic control.
You cannot manage what you cannot measure. With this highly localised air quality data, imec at Holst Centre facilitates the creation of a digital twin: a tool designed to aid policymakers in their complex decisions about liveability in the city. Fine-grained air quality maps can also be used to measure your individual pollution exposure and suggest healthier routes for you to walk or cycle. They can also provide solid evidence of the impact of urban interventions, as in the EU LIFE Critical project in Dordrecht, such as road and building constructions for healthier and liveable public spaces.

AS WE WALKED BRISKLY THROUGH the narrow streets of Peshawar, Pakistan, toward my first “Death to America” rally, my translator, Hasan, called over his shoulder, “Stay close to me. If anyone asks, tell them you’re Canadian. And don’t worry, the demonstrators are well behaved—most of the time.”
It was my third day in the dusty, teeming city that became the best listening post during the first weeks of the war in neighboring Afghanistan. I normally cover Texas and the Southwest, including the Mexican border, as the Austin-based correspondent for National Public Radio. From mid-October to mid-November, NPR had gerrymandered my beat to include the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. “Promise me you’ll be safe” was the last thing my wife, Ginny, told me at the Austin airport. But at this moment, I was wading into a sea of bearded faces roaring, “Crush, crush, USA!” like a high school football taunt, while I tried to keep sight of Hasan’s bobbing head as he glided through the crowd.
A few weeks earlier, I had been in New York City interviewing rescue workers at Ground Zero who uttered the name Osama bin Laden as though it were a strain of hemorrhagic fever. Here in Peshawar, he was a folk hero. “Osama, the Great Mujahid [holy warrior] of Islam” read a $2 T-shirt for sale on the street.
Hasan and I finally found a spot at the rear of the six thousand chanting protesters. These weekly demonstrations are mostly street theater—they provide an outlet for Muslims to blow off steam. Nonetheless, I kept an appreciative eye on a nearby squad of riot policemen holding bamboo batons. At six foot seven, I’ve stuck out in crowds all my adult life, but at this moment I could not recall a time when I felt more uncomfortably conspicuous. The sensation was heightened when a flush-faced student hoisted a homemade sign directly over my head that read “Americans Are Uncivilized Beasts and Shameless Hellions.”
“Hasan, tell this man to take his sign down,” I said.
“Just ignore it,” he replied.
“Then tell him I really like his sign and I’d like to have it.”
“Ask him if he would give me his sign as a gift.”
Maybe the student wanted to show me he was neither beast nor hellion like my countrymen, or maybe he thought I needed to meditate further on his damning message at home. Whatever the reason, he rolled up the placard and handed it to me with a smile.
“You are our brother, no problem,” he said, extending his hand. “You are our friend, no problem.”
So began my introduction to the Pashtuns of western Pakistan, a people whose crustiness is matched only by their generosity of spirit. Think West Texans with Old Testament beards.
THE HUNDREDS OF FOREIGN REPORTERS in Pakistan left two things in short supply: a good fixer, someone who spoke the language and knew the local culture; and a decent hotel room. Luckily I had both.
My fixer was Hasan Khan, a Pashtun journalist who was so blond and blue-eyed that he was often mistaken for one of us. He seemed to know someone everywhere we went, from the plainclothes police lieutenant at the protest rally to the expert sandalmaker on the road to Islamabad. And his gentle, self-deprecating humor was a welcome antidote to the zealotry all around us. “Hasan must go pray now,” he said sheepishly one Friday, “or my mother will call me a bad Muslim.”
In covering a war, the hacks ideally situate themselves as close to the action as possible but not so close that they can’t get cocktails after deadline. In the first five weeks of this war, that place was Peshawar’s Pearl Continental Hotel. At any hour of the day, the lobby—which is decorated like a Raj-era Holiday Inn—was full of fixers, hustlers, sullen camera crews, and well-groomed intelligence operatives. While a hellish tape loop of the syrupy sixties instrumental “Love Is Blue” played on the hotel sound system, the spooks slouched in overstuffed couches and eavesdropped on other people’s conversations. When their nosiness became too obvious, they’d suddenly discover a fascinating ceiling tile.
One of the main assets of the PC, as the hotel is called, is that it has Peshawar’s only open bar—though “open” is subject to interpretation. A sign next to the door reads “Non-Muslims & Foreigners Only.” (When I asked the bartender who the clientele was, he said contemptuously, “Christians and Sikhs.”) Nightly, the hacks came to this smoke-filled chamber to ruminate over the day’s news and drink Pakistan’s answer to Pearl Light, a watery beer called Murree’s. But no one complained because we knew what it was like on the front. In the Afghan capital of Islamabad, a soulless city populated by bureaucrats and diplomats, the Western networks were paying the Marriott $850 a day to broadcast live shots from the rooftop. On the southern frontier, in the tense border city of Quetta, correspondents were forbidden to leave their hotels without an armed escort.
But nothing compared to Northern Afghanistan. My NPR colleague Annie Garrels said she and other journalists slept on cushions in mud-brick “guest houses,” washed in water from an iron barrel, and had their pockets picked by the Northern Alliance at every opportunity. Remember the scenes of bored Alliance fighters firing their assault rifles over the parapets at no one in particular? The “bang-bang” was bought and paid for by TV. Reporters who wanted to cover the northern front paid $600 to go in—they traveled seventeen hours a day for three days in a Russian jeep that crept over the brutal Hindu Kush mountains—and then $1,200 to $2,000 to get out. And the talcumlike dust got into everything, killing recording equipment and turning hair stiff. “I could mold it into some quite fanciful ‘dos,” Annie said. “We called it Afghan hair spray.”
THE ONLY TEXAS JOURNALIST I CONNECTED with in Pakistan was Lee Hancock, of the Dallas Morning News. We met one night at an Italian restaurant in Islamabad that discreetly served bottles of wine to anyone who asked, and we dined with two Delhi-based journalists who were curious about life back in Texas. Lee told them about paranoia in Tyler—that a federal agent she knows in the East Texas city has been getting reports of Pakistanis doing nothing more suspicious than running a convenience store. I told them about compassion in San Antonio—how the Saudi radiologist who came home after thirteen days of interrogation by the FBI was met by an outpouring of friendship and concern from his neighbors.
Lee and I marveled at the circumstances that brought us together. It turned out that she and I had both had premonitions that something big was going to happen last fall. We figured it was time for another Texas kook to erupt, someone like David Koresh or Richard McLaren. Who could have predicted we’d meet eleven time zones from Waco while covering the greatest manhunt in history, a story that would dwarf the Branch Davidian conflagration and the Republic of Texas standoff?
AT TIMES, THE ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11 and the assignment in Pakistan seemed to be distant and unrelated. The street scene was mind-bending. Pelotons of bicyclists sped past with their shalwar kameezes, pajamalike garments worn by Pakistani men, fluttering behind them. Haulers rode their donkey carts standing like charioteers. Camel caravans plodded along the shoulders. The freight trucks were hand-painted works of rolling folk art that could put Houston’s Art Cars to shame. And every other vehicle was a rickety rickshaw taxi that invariably had one of two images painted on its tailgate: a grimacing image of a Pashtun action hero or a pair of seductive eyes, Pakistan’s version of the chrome-babe silhouette on truck mud flaps.
“Why the eyes?” I asked Hasan.
“That’s all we see of a woman and so that’s what attracts us,” he said in another of his patient tutorials. “For me, Muslim women create suspense. Western women show everything to a man. There’s no suspense.”
In parts of Peshawar, you’re lucky to see even the eyes. The city is more conservative than most in Pakistan because of its proximity to the ultratraditional Pashtun tribal areas along the border. Here, women don’t work outside the home, and it’s common for them to don the same head-to-toe burkas that TV viewers recognize in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. One day I sat down with a group of teenage Afghan exiles to find out what it’s like living under this sacklike garment. “On hot days we sweat under the burka—it is so hot it takes your breath away,” said a fourteen-year-old from Kabul. “Sometimes we trip over it and hurt ourselves. We cannot see our footsteps unless we bend over.”
Whenever we drove near the border by the tribal areas, we saw women in their burkas, wraithlike figures scurrying across the street with children or groceries in hand. Though I was told time and again that they are worn out of custom, not obligation, I could never shake the idea that this was some sort of public punishment for being born a woman. Nancy Dupree, a respected Peshawar-based relief worker and a student of Afghanistan for nearly half a century, told me that women symbolize honor in Pashtun culture. “And to protect a family’s honor,” she said, “it’s easier to keep them veiled and in seclusion.”
That’s the culturally sensitive perspective. Non-Pashtun women have a different view. “You don’t have to go to Afghanistan for the Taliban,” Musarrat Hilali, the local director of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, joked darkly. “The Taliban are living all around us.”
BUT THE SAME RIGID SOCIAL CODE ALSO made the Pashtun amiable hosts. It was impossible to conduct an interview, for instance, without being offered frontier-style green tea spiced with cardamom. This created certain urological necessities, because after three cups you learn that there are a restricted number of restrooms that Pakistanis deem suitable for use by foreigners. But I appreciated the tea. It had a calming effect. It seemed to keep the conversation civil when the topic at hand grew ugly, as it often did.
One day I was interviewing a friendly, educated hospital executive who told me matter-of-factly that Israeli Mossad agents flew the jetliners into the World Trade Center as a pretext for America to launch its crusade against Islam. Then the hospital public relations director, an unctuous man with hair growing out of his ears, asked me what state I was from in the aggressor superpower. Texas, I said.
“Ah, Texas!” he exclaimed, shooting finger-pistols at me. “I have seen Hollywood movies of Texas cowboys, and that is where your Mr. Bush is from. He is a cowboy who would rather shoot first and think about it later.”
He grinned for approval at the hospital executive, who grinned back and called for more tea.
MY ONLY DAILY ESCAPE FROM THE WAR was reading e-mail, which is still an amazing form of communication to me. I sat in my hotel room on the other side of the world and received daily messages from the Rosedale Neighborhood Association e-mail list back in Austin. Sandwiched between Associated Press bulletins and story assignments from NPR’s foreign desk came the news that Bessie, a black-and-tan Australian shepherd, had escaped during a storm from a house two blocks from ours.
My neighbors are public-spirited, opinionated, and long-winded. For days they engaged in a testy exchange over the possibility of a blood bank opening nearby. One suggested, “What if all the time and energy that is being put into protesting the blood plasma center were put into seeing to it that ‘unsavory’ people were encouraged and supported to live their lives more fully and effectively?” Another shot back, “Unless you have a suggestion that would address the neighborhood’s well-substantiated fears, I see your comment as completely unproductive.”
A few days after reading this, I visited a blood drive in Peshawar where sympathetic Pakistanis were donating blood for holy warriors in Afghanistan. The blood sacks lay on the filthy ground, the IV’s were unsterilized, the blood was not tested for infectious diseases, and there was no refrigeration in sight. Suddenly, our proposed neighborhood plasma center didn’t seem so bad.
IN FACT, PAKISTAN PUT LOTS OF THINGS in perspective for me. Before my month in Peshawar, Mexican border towns seemed wild and otherworldly. But they’re sedate compared with the Pashtun tribal areas on the Pak-Afghan border, which have no statutes, no courts, and no police. Nontribesmen complain that the tribal zones are safe havens for criminals who engage in everything from drug smuggling to kidnapping. Tribesmen contend that they govern themselves by an ancient code of conduct enforced by universal gun ownership. Every man wears a Kalashnikov rifle “like a watch,” said a doctor in Peshawar. If someone violates another’s gold, property, or woman, the ensuing gun battle can be over in seconds—or it can last for generations.
Having worked in Mexico on and off for more than twenty years, I couldn’t help comparing Pakistan with our southern neighbor. Except for the ascendance of Vicente Fox, the perennial Mexico stories seem to be poverty, environmental problems, and corrupt governments. But Mexico and the rest of Latin America look refreshingly progressive compared with the authoritarian regimes and religious militancy of the Muslim world.
A wave of democracy has swept through the Americas in the past decade. These freely elected governments are generally pro-American, with expanding middle classes, a tolerant national religion, and—with the exception of Colombia—their opposition figures usually run for congress instead of blowing things up. Even the Juárez narcos, with their sunglasses and gold machine-gun pendants, seemed benign next to the bellowing Pakistani jihadis longing for combat.
THE LITERAL DEFINITION OF “JIHAD” IS “STRUGGLE.” A Pakistani political scientist told me wistfully that there used to be jihads against illiteracy, deforestation, and corruption before the word was hijacked by extremists to mean “divinely inspired violence.” But even in this context, I learned that the jihad is an elastic concept. The day I arrived in the country, I was sitting in a restaurant when a message flashed on my colleague’s cell phone, which was apparently intended for Muslim users. “Plz avoid KFC, McDonalds, Shell, Pizza Hut, Coke, Pepsi. To enter ur name in jihad against kufar [infidel] plz forward this msg to as many as u can.” Apparently, jihads now include consumer boycotts.
I was anxious to meet some of the authentic jihadi warriors that I had heard were massing with great fanfare in tribal towns and traveling to the Afghan border to fight with the Taliban. But the volatile tribal areas were off-limits to foreign reporters because the authorities feared our interviews would provoke violence. Nevertheless, my ever-resourceful guide, Hasan, had his driver slip around a police roadblock and get us into the tribal town of Temergarah, in the mountains north of Peshawar. We climbed out of the car and walked quickly into the office of our first interview, only to be spotted by a police informant. Within minutes, a contingent of Frontier Police streamed into the room and politely demanded to know what we were doing.
Soon after, we were taken to the station and introduced to the commander, a square-shouldered man with a massive triangular nose that seemed to occupy half of his face. I never figured out whether we were being detained or whether the commander was simply bored and wanted to have tea with a foreigner. Regardless, he explained more succinctly than anyone had in two weeks exactly what was going on in his country. “It is the poor, rural, unemployed, and ignorant people who are answering the call for jihad,” he began. “The educated people support the government. How can Pakistan defy the United States and be isolated in the world? Anyone knows we can’t afford to do that.”
“Then why doesn’t anyone stand up to them?” I asked.
“We can’t say this publicly because the jihadis will call us infidels,” he replied. “They’re dangerous.”
This is the devil’s bargain that Pakistan has made. The U.S. has taken as its partner in the war against terror a country that is one of the world’s foremost incubators of Islamic extremism. For years Pakistani governments have coddled jihadi guerrillas to fight against India in the contested Kashmir province. The country has allowed the establishment of thousands of free-admission radical Muslim academies, called madrasahs, which churn out fresh young militants ready for battle. And with the holy war in Afghanistan melting away and the Taliban headed for the history books, these fanatics have nowhere to go but the streets.
A WARM AFTERNOON IN EARLY NOVEMBER found us at yet another anti-American rally in the frontier town of Mardan. Like the others, it was called by an ambitious religious political party that was skillfully marshaling anger over the U.S. bombing raids to boost its popularity. The politicians brayed into a cheap microphone in front of a sign that read “America Is Not the Superpower. Allah Is the Superpower.” A handful of journalists sat on a balcony overlooking the street, which was full of bearded faces that looked up and scowled at us every time the speaker hit a high note of American treachery.
The calls and responses echoed off the dingy buildings as Hasan translated: “God is great . . . We will go for jihad . . . Death to the U.S. . . . The fight will continue until the destruction of America . . . Those who are friends to America are traitors.”
Hasan shot me a grin and added, “I’m one of them, John.”
If Pakistan is going to take back its streets from the fanatics, moderates like Hasan will have to do more than whisper their rejection of fundamentalism. They’ll have to shout it from the rooftops.

It’s taken far too long for the players and owners to basically agree that Rob Manfred implementing a 60-game season is the right move.
The public battles that we all knew were leading nowhere have had me thirsting for baseball somewhere … anywhere. Luckily, South Korea found a way to still play baseball among this unprecedented pandemic and I, for one, am thankful for it.
The KBO (Korean Baseball Organization) is about 40 games deep in its schedule and it’s a fantastic source of early morning entertainment for those of you who fancy to wake up at 3:30 a.m. (Mountain time) on a weekday. I’ve nicknamed it “Insomnia Ball” as such, but I can’t knock it as I’ve certainly streamed it on my phone probably one or 27 times at 4:45 a.m. when I couldn’t get back to sleep. It’s probably the only time I’ll admit that the Eastern Time Zone is better for viewing a sport, but I digress.

Between the pandemic leading to unruly negotiations between the MLBPA and MLB owners, plus the legalization of sports gambling in Colorado, it’s opened up the gates for a new league to gain my interests and the KBO has done just that. I’m hooked and it’s helping me with my greatly needed baseball fix. Not to mention that former Colorado Rockies pitcher Seunghwan Oh is actually back in the league with the Samsung Lions and another former Rockies player, Brandon Barnes, just signed a deal with the Hanwha Eagles. LOCAL CONNECTIONS!
But you need to know more about the KBO than that, though. So I’m going to introduce you to one player from each KBO team and give you their best Rockies player comparison based off the stat line they’ve put up so far this season. We’ll focus less on what we call “Import” players (generally former MLB players from the states) and instead focus on more of the homegrown South Korean talent that you may just see on an MLB roster some day soon.

The reconciliation move by the Kano elders led by Alhaji Bashir Tofa to amicably settle the matter on the creation of new emirates has on Thursday suffered a set back.
Recall that the elders (Tofa and 20 others) had filed a suit before the High Court sitting in Kano State and presided over by the Chief Judge, Justice Nura Sagir, seeking to nullify the creation of the new emirates on the ground that it is will destroy the historical background and cultural heritage of the Kano emirate.
At the resumption of Thursday’s sitting, the plaintiffs counsel, Suraj Saida, SAN, informed the court of his clients intention to resolve the matter with all the defendants amicable.
Saida pointed out that his role is to ensure that full reconciliation is observed between the parties.
In a counter reaction, the Defendant counsel, Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Ibahim Mukhtar, objected to the reconciliation by the plaintiffs saying the business of the day was to hear his application challenging the locus standi of the plaintiffs in the suit.
He explained that he was not involved in any reconciliation as a party and prayed the court to allow him move his application.
Presenting his application, Attorney General argued that Alhaji Bashir Tofa and other 20 have no legal power to represent over 15 million of Kano citizens.
He prayed the court to dismiss the case for lack of sufficient interest to show the court.
The Chief Judge, Justice Nura Sagir however adjourned the case to 9th April, 2020 to rule on the locus standi of the plaintiffs in the suit.

Happy Crafty Hugs,


The Pope addressed pilgrims gathered at an airfield to the south of the capital telling them to avoid “the fashion of individualism” and not to keep their faith private but to participate in church life and share the faith.
“We cannot follow Jesus on our own,” the 84-year old pontiff said. “So do not keep Christ to yourselves! Share with others the joy of your faith.”
The evening before, a torrential downpour had forced the Pope to cut short a speech defending traditional marriage and the right to life – a clear condemnation of Spain’s sweeping liberal reforms allowing same-sex marriages, easing divorces and introducing abortion on demand.
Electrical storms brought fierce winds and sheets of heavy rain drenching pilgrims camping out at an airfield the size of 48 football pitches.
Many pilgrims could not receive Holy Communion because temporary chapels had been blown over in the strong gusts and stores of sacrament wafers damaged by the elements.
Seven people were injured, including one person who broke a leg, when tents blew over. Earlier in the day hundreds of pilgrims were treated for heat exhaustion as temperatures soared to above 40C.
Health services said they had treated more than 2,600 pilgrims. Police estimated the crowd at the airfield to be around 1.5 million but organisers believed it to be closer to two million.
The Vatican said they had been prepared for inclement weather and were determined not to abandon celebrations because of it.
“The storm was a parable of Christian life in which moments of difficulty are overcome by the strength of faith," Federico Lombardi, the Holy See’s spokesman said.
The four-day papal visit had gone smoothly he said with the Pope “very favourably impressed by the endurance of young people and their prayers,” despite being marred by violent protests against the visit.
Closing the World Youth Day celebrations, Pope Benedict announced that the next edition would be held in Rio de Janeiro in 2013.

Each month I will feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them & of course the video I like best. This month is quite a surprise: Vogue.
I came across this channel by accident really. I found a video in this series in the suggested videos on the right hand side of the screen & continued to watch a few more of their videos, specifically the 73 Questions series.
The first one I watch was actually Blake Lively, then I also saw Victoria Beckham & wondered how she would answer the same questions. You will be glad to know that the questions asked to each person in the series vary!

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) – Hope Gospel Mission has helped those battling addiction and experiencing homelessness in Eau Claire. Now they hope to provide additional resource.
Hope Gospel Mission is bringing rezoning plans to the Eau Claire City Council for a new learning center building. It would provide counseling and recovery services for adults experiencing homelessness, addition, and mental health crises.
If approved, the learning center would be built next to the Hope Gospel center for men on Mercantile Drive, and would take the place of the Solomon Learning Center on Western Avenue.
The new facility would include a classroom with 42 computer stations for residents, additional office space for staff, and rooms for private counseling and therapy sessions.
“We are seeing an increase in need in our community, and in order to meet that need the new learning center and counseling center would be very helpful to just keep up with the number of residents, but also being able to add additional resources for those that need it,” Brett Geboy, community relations director with Hope Gospel Mission said.
According to Geboy the project would cost an estimated $1.8 million.
The rezoning proposal will be introduced at the city council meeting on Tuesday, July 25. A vote will come at a later date.
If plans are approved, Geboy said they hope to start building this fall.

Hey wordpress, it’s been a while. Two Fridays ago I handed in my Improvised Tomato story in a workshop. The response was as you can probably imagine. The judge tried editing for the first quarter and just threw her pen up and gave up after. One of my fellow writers compared my writing style to Hunter S. Thompson, an amazing compliment apparently. I have never watched or read Fear and Loathing in Lasvegas so I wouldn’t know.
Now that I look back this was indeed a strange story. I kept pretty calm while reading it, but I cracked up at my own story when we got to mentioning “caterpillars”. I can not believe I write that story while sober.

The class of civilizations -- or Kampf der Kulturen as it's known in German -- continued on Wednesday, with Europeans calling for calm in the Muslim world. So far, violent protests around the world have claimed seven lives. Leading the ruckus is Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has cut off trade ties with Denmark and is threatening to do the same with other European countries where newspapers reprinted the offensive Danish cartoons. A major Iranian newspaper even says it will hold a contest for the best anti-Jewish Holocaust cartoons in a totally unrelated tit-for-tat escalation of the dispute.
Most German papers on Wednesday agree that the current situation is becoming increasingly dangerous and that Ahmadinejad is using the crisis to gain political capital in Muslim countries. The general consensus is that he hopes to create support for Tehran in the international dispute over Iran's nuclear program. These days, Ahmadinejad has few friends even in his backyard, but the brouhaha over the Muhammad cartoons, which depict the worst stereotypes of Muslims could fuel enough anti-western sentiment for other regional powers to join Tehran's team.
In an editorial running under the headline, "Round Two: the Holocaust Cartoons," the leftist Die Tageszeitung writes: "That hurts," an Iranian newspaper is responding to the Danish Muhammad caricatures with a competition for the "best Holocaust caricatures." The Muslim lobby group the Arab-European League has already shown what the prize-winning entries might look like: On its Web site, it features a cartoon of Holocaust victim Anne Frank in bed with Hitler. "Write this one in your diary, Anne." Such tactlessness leaves the TAZ cold. "If the altercation continues at this level, the stomach of any person sensitive to history will soon be churning," the paper writes. For the Iranians, the caricature battle provides the perfect opportunity to shift attention away from its nuclear dispute with the West. "The Iranians' intent is clear," it continues. "They want to strike the West with their own weapons and denunciate their double standards. The western defenders of absolute freedom of speech now have a real problem. It's doubtful that the European newspapers that reprinted the Danish caricatures will now do the same with the Iranian cartoons. But if they take their own rhetoric seriously, they will have to."
The Financial Times Deutschland looks back at the publication of the caricatures by Denmark's Jyllands-Posten newspaper and sees an idea that backfired badly. "Now that seven people have died and thousands have stormed the embassies, it is, of course, even easier to fight for the freedom of the press and against fundamentalism," writes the paper. But one could also have the idea that freedom of the press and speech were intended as tools that could be used by the weak against the authorities and not an instrument to be used by idiots against a country's minority population. "Jyllands-Posten has discredited this value in the same way that the Islamists who incited the mobs in Iran and Lebanon have discredited freedom of religion." The paper sees two losers in this scandal: western societies, which will again unjustly be labeled as arrogant; and the overwhelming majority of moderate Muslims, who will now be thrown into the same pot as the extremists."
The center-right Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung looks at the financial implications of the conflict. "The state-sponsored boycott of Danish products represents an escalation -- not because the trade of Danish and Iranian goods is of any particular importance, but because the European Commission, in the interest of quieting down the unrest, warned (Iran and Muslim countries) against taking that step," the paper opines. Second, Iran is trying to send a message of intimidation to the European Union: "Take a look, this is what happens to those who do things that displease us." It is, of course, correct that in the face of the protests European politicians are calling for restraint and dialogue. "No reasonable person wants to aggravate the conflict, which has qualities of a clash of cultures and could spiral out of control and harm the political and economic interests of Europe (and the West in general)," the paper writes. "But what happens if the call for restraint goes unheard? The Iranian regime shows no interest in restraint."
The conservative Die Welt notes that there's one similarity between the Muslim world and the earlier Soviet bloc: It fears free and spontaneous demonstrations. "Anyone who is taking to the streets in Tehran, Sanaa or Damascus is being sent there." Indeed, the presence of so many Danish flags -- not exactly a common commodity at your local bazaar, indicates the protests were long in the planning. Then the editorial points to Iran's radical and opportunist president, who is using the crisis to build political capital. "In the outrage over the caricatures, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sees an opportunity to garner the support of the Arab world," the paper writes. "Arabs, in particular, are skeptical of the Shiite Iranian's claim to power and they view the idea of Persian nuclear missiles at their backdoor as a danger. Iran knows this." At the very latest, Tehran realized this at the last meeting of the International Nuclear Energy Agency -- where a broad united front, with the inclusion of many Muslim countries, against Iran's nuclear plans is possible. But the caricature conflict could hinder that. "As Ahmadinejad promotes himself as the protector of the faithful, he is also trying to divide the camps in the nuclear dispute," the paper comments. "In the end, he would like to see the entire Muslim world supporting Tehran in the nuclear question."
The left-leaning Berliner Zeitung notes that the Iranians have to pick on the Jews because most Europeans have become desensitized to jokes about Christianity -- they just don't care anymore. The only way of getting them back is the "activate anti-Semitism, the one evil that can still outrage us." For Europeans and, especially, Germans, mocking Muhammad and the Holocaust are two very, very distinct things. There's no mathematical clarity in the differentiation, but rather one of historical experience. It's hardly surprising that the Iranian's have chosen Jews as their targets. "They are the most vulnerable and their state has to hold its ground in the Muslim world." Now, the paper concludes, "the clash of cultures is being played out on the backs of the Jews -- they're paying the bill for Europe's bold opinions."

I have learned that creativity is an ebb and flow kind of thing, so I don't sweat times like this. Still I do like to keep somewhat productive and I did manage to put in a few more hours into the piece this week. One thing that I'm learning is that although I drafted out a nice detailed value drawing as well as a loose main pattern, I'm not really following them very well. What I am doing is following the grey scale manipulation of the photo inspiration. Not to mention letting the piece direct what goes next. I mean, geesh, its always good to make visual decisions visually.
It definitely is becoming a study in edges - soft and hard - so I think I'll nickname it the Edges.
"I was born a copper. And I'll die one, I expect"
Ohhhh and the suggestion of the week - if you're looking for something to watch on TV that will not rot your brain - the third season of Endeavour is playing this summer at a PBS station near you.
Endeavour, is the prequel for the long running UK series, Inspector Morse and is a period mystery set in 1960's Oxford. Its part cop mystery - part - 60's period piece. Its filled with plot twists rather than guns.
I've been known to get a little obsessed with a good Masterpiece Theatre series and Endeavour is no different. Not only is Shaun Evan's dreamy blue eyes perfect for a summer crush, but his mentor Thursday, played by Robert Allum is a "Real Man's" man.
Its the kind of series that you really need to watch each episode a few times to get all the nuances of the story. Not to mention, it will have you googling exactly what all the English idioms mean. (Warning: we always watch with the captions on!)
If you need to catch up on Season 3 - its online at PBS.com. If you are looking for the first two seasons of the show you can find them for rent on Amazon (or free on AmazonPrime).
So What Have You Been Up to Creatively??
So, your are patient with the ebb and flow of your creativity. oh how I wish I had reached that point of maturity!
Laughing like a drain here (get googling). I have never watched Endeavour so I didn't recognise the actors, but I spotted the English prison in the background in a trillisecond. I'm more of a Midsomer Murders and John Nettles fan myself.
It's looking nice. I say "slow progress is still progress".
I love those shows on PBS, you should also watch Grantchester, it's another great show. I'm recording Endeavor but haven't watched it yet, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it!
I can appreciate the flux of creative process. Patience at all times. Have so enjoyed the PBS shows, too... sorry that this is the last season for Endeavour and Inspector Lewis.
Hi, Nina Marie. Haven't been by in ever so long. Glad I could stop by today. I find your process very interesting--more power to you, it would drive me nuts to be so precise! I love your results, so it's well worth the effort...best, nadia

We've had three studio dogs throughout our 20 years in business - all Labs, and all that implies.
Gretta. Our first studio dog came from the Humane Society in Auburn Hills, Michigan. We got her when we were students at Cranbrook. Gretta was a Chocolate Lab mix, brought to the shelter at just five weeks old. She came home with us at seven weeks old and became our beloved sidekick for ten years. Gretta put up with us posing her in architectural niches on the Cranbook campus and long rides to the east coast to visit family and back. She kept us company in the studio, sleeping on our old paper cutter, keeping track of who came and went. Ate far too many things she shouldn't have. Two years later, she became the best friend and guardian of our first baby. Our niece called her Mrs. Gretta and we still refer to her that way. She accompanied us from Cranbrook to Maine and then to Vermont where she lived out her days as our entertainer, guardian, and dear friend. Sweet Mrs. Gretta. <3
Wally. Our second studio dog, Wally [aka Wallace, Walliver, Walster, Wallsy... you get the idea], came to us a couple months after Gretta's unexpected passing. Wally was the kindest, most gentle dog you could hope to meet. Benevolent is a good word for him. Nothing rattled this dog. He took everything in stride, forgave instantly and was, without question, always there for us. He kept guard of the Thanksgiving turkey in the oven. Sat on the hill in the back yard, surveying our property to keep us safe. Kept us company in the kitchen, lying still as can be hoping for the end of a pepper or zucchini. [Although he'd politely refuse any offerings of kale.] Wally kindly greeted clients at the door and was always well behaved in the studio. He'd offer a gentle greeting and lay at your feet during meetings. He passed away at 15.5 years old.
Arlo. About a year after Wally passed, Arlo came to us. Arlo is our first Black Lab and he was meant to be ours. We brought him home days after Lisa's Dad passed away and he brought a lot of smiles to us during a rough time. He had a calm demeanor paired with typical puppy antics. He practically house-trained himself and slept through the night. He's now an active year-old young man. He spends his days in the studio with us with breaks for back yard romps, luncheon outings, and walks. He's still learning his manners around people so he only attends meeting with those who don't mind a dog asking for attention. :) You can keep up with Arlo's antics @Arloagogo.

Sinead O'Connor Married in Vegas Drive-Thru Chapel
Mere months after advertising online for a freaky sex friend, Sinead O'Connor married fiancé Barry Herridge on Dec. 8, her 45th birthday.
The Irish singer took a non-traditional approach to the wedding, marrying her new man in a drive-thru ceremony in Las Vegas. After filling out the paperwork, the couple shared vows from the back of a light pink Cadillac at A Little White Wedding Chapel while O'Connor donned a matching pink wedding dress. After a short 10 minute ceremony, chapel employees sang "Happy Birthday" to O'Connor, capping a memorable few months for the singer.
Earlier this year, the "Nothing Compares 2 U" star explicitly advertised online for a "wham-bam" sexual partner. The singer and Herridge, a therapist, met online four months ago, suggesting the search was a wild success.
This was O'Connor's fourth wedding. Her third marriage, to Steve Cooney, ended in divorce earlier this year. The mother of four was also previously married to producer John Reynolds and journalist Nicholas Sommerlad.

G.R. No. L-32054, 15 May 1974
Atanacia Llaneta was married with Serafin Ferrer whom she had a child named Victoriano Ferrer. Serafin died and about four years later Atanacia had a relationship with another man out of which Teresita Llaneta, herein petitioner, was born. All of them lived with Serafin’s mother in Manila. Teresita was raised in the household of the Ferrer’s using the surname of Ferrer in all her dealing even her school records. She then applied for a copy of her birth certificate in Sorsogon as it is required to be presented in connection with a scholarship grant. Subsequently, she discovered that her registered surname was Llaneta and that she was the illegitimate child of Atanacia and an unknown father. She prayed to have her name changed from Teresita Llaneta to Teresita Llaneta Ferrer since not doing so would result in confusion among persons and entitites she dealt with and would entail endless and vexatious explanations of the circumstances.
Whether Teresita can have her surname changed to Ferrer.
Yes, Teresita can have her surname changed to Ferrer in her official dealings; this would likewise mean a lifelong fending with the necessary affidavits. Moreover, it is a salutary law that would allow Teresita, inspite of her illegitimate birth, to carry on in society without her unfortunate status being bandied about at every turn.
In the case at bar, however, the late Serafin Ferrer’s widowed mother, Victoria, and his two remaining brothers, Nehemias and Ruben, have come forward in earnest support of the petition. Adequate publication of the proceeding has not elicited the slightest opposition from the relatives and friends of the late Serafin Ferrer. Clearances from various Government agencies show that Teresita has a spotless record. And the State (represented by the Solicitor General’s Office), which has an interest in the name borne by every citizen within its realm for purposes of identification, interposed no opposition at the trial after a searching cross-examination, of Teresita and her witnesses.
Whether the late Serafin Ferrer, who died some five years before Teresita was born, would have consented or objected to her use of his surname is open to speculation. One thing, however, is beyond cavil: those living who possess the right of action to prevent the surname Ferrer from being smeared are proud to share it with her.

The nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc is a gelatinous viscous hydrogel that has an essential role in the mechanics of the intervertebral disc joint. The viscoelastic properties of the nucleus pulposus significantly change in the course of time and particularly at the outset of disc degeneration. Viscoelasticity is the result of entropy production and may be characterized by hysteresis when the tissue undergoes cyclic mechanical loading. "Nature never undertakes any change unless her interests are served by an increase in entropy" once commented Max Planck. In the context of mechanobiology, we present an original concept wich is referred to the hysteresis theory and states that for a given range of frequency and biological tissue, the maximum mechanotransduction signal coincides with maximum hysteresis. If verified, this statement would introduce a relevant variable in the study of pathophysiological conditions such as degeneration of the nucleus pulposus and serve as a reliable variable to define optimized mechanical load settings for the culture of tissue engineered materials. This doctoral work deals with the proposition of this theory and defines the experimental and theoretical framework to verify this hypothesis in following studies. Hysteresis is not specific to a single process, but is the result of many internal processes that can happen simultaneously. Deformation may imply entropic and/or elastic changes in the tissue which from a phenomenolgical point of view is equivalent, and yet are fundamentally different in nature. Deformation may also be accompanied by reversible and irreversible processes that result in mechanical hysteresis. A clear knowledge on the thermomechanical processes involved during the deformation of biological tissues enables the experimenter to overcome perhaps too restrictive assumptions and may lead to new insights. In this work, we provide a prototype of a deformation calorimeter that is specifically designed for biological hydrogel tissues, thereby refocusing the theory of biological materials on solid experimental thermodynamic grounds. This prototype produced satisfactory results with a measurement precision of 3% and a characteristic time constant of 40 seconds. The thermal stability of the deformation calorimeter was, however, not suficient to experimentally investigate the thermomechanical properties of very soft tissue (kPa scale) such as the nucleus pulposus, but acceptable for stiffer materials ranging in the MPa scale. In conjunction, a theoretical framework is proposed to recover the information that is hidden in hysteresis. Based on continuum mechanics and, in particular, mixture and normal dissipation theories, the governing nonlinear heat equation for thermomechanical porous materials was derived. This equation is general and valid for finite perturbations in temperature and deformations. A particular model for hydrogels was also proposed. Finally, hysteresis and damping properties of the nucleus pulposus was measured at large physiological deformations and for frequencies ranging between 0.01 and 10 Hz. The proposed method relies on the introduction of a small testing device, called hydrogel encapsulation device, which addresses several issues when dealing with mechanical testing on soft tissues such as synthetic and biological hydrogels.


Heavy Rain Causes Problems North Of Boston
Heavy rain caused problems for several North Shore communities Tuesday.
Peabody, Swampscott and Lynn were pounded by rain, which flooded streets and stranded some cars. Peabody declared a state of emergency and closed schools Tuesday.
Peabody resident Tessa Marcaurelle said she found several cars stranded under about 3 feet of water on her way in to work at City Hall Tuesday.
"I sort of got here via back routes and I have a Jeep, so I didn't have to forage any water to get here," Marcaurelle said.
"It has been absolutely ridiculous, cars all over the road, submerged in the water, and we're just trying to keep up on everything," said Lynn's Carmen Gauda to WCVB-TV.
The mayor of Salem, Kim Driscoll, said she's never seen anything like the flooding she discovered when she woke up Tuesday morning.
"Driers floating, cars lost that were parked in front of homes, you name it," Driscoll said. "It's hard for residents who felt there was no time to prepare. No one expected it to be as fast and furious as it was."
Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency spokesman Peter Judge said that once the waters fully recede, residents should try to clean up quickly.
"Once you do pump that water out, you want to get your basements cleaned up as soon as possible," Judge said. "You don't want to let mold set in and cause other problems down the road."
State officials say it could take a week to determine exactly how much damage was done by the rain in Essex County.

The most interesting thing is how Fine art especially accepts trends without any criticism and schools and universities teach these newly created doctrines like the word of God. Fine art thrives with trends like fashion does and doesn’t think or know any better, which makes one think how legitimate their teachings and clicks are. How effective in changing societies more just Fine art is, one can and should doubt. Making those luxury goods, are we now? Social justice is also a sellable object. You are on the right side, the side of the oppressed and that is what media loves to be too. Many artists face this reality as they are forced to think and say the right thing and if they don’t, they are silenced, removed from sight and their reputation is smeared. How just and wise that is, one must and should ask, especially the institutions that wash themselves clean with social justice. You are doing advertising, not social justice.

North Korea launched a submarine-launched ballistic missile on Tuesday.
The US on Sunday (October 24) urges North Korea to cease missile checks “Backfire”It expressed the hope that Pyongyang would actively reply to the decision for dialogue initiated by Washington.
North Korea launched a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) on Tuesday, prompting an emergency assembly of the UN Safety Council.
The U.S. Particular Consultant for North Korea, Kim Sung, met with South Korean President Luquid after assembly together with his Japanese counterparts in Washington.He referred to as Tuesday’s launch a “provocative” And urged Pyongyang to cease missile testing “Worrying and counterproductive”.
“We hope that the Korean individuals [RPDC] Will actively reply to our acutely aware efforts”Kim instructed reporters in Seoul that he used the official acronyms utilized by North Korea.
Tuesday’s launch is the most recent in a collection of weapons checks that North Korea has lately performed, together with long-range cruise missiles, train-launched weapons, and alleged hypersonic warheads.
Earlier this month, North Korean chief Kim Jong Un blamed the sanctions on the US, refuting Washington’s declare that the US has no hostile intentions.
Kim Jong-un met with the incumbent US President Donald Trump 3 times, however the two failed to achieve an settlement to finish North Korea’s nuclear program. For the reason that failure of the Hanoi summit in early 2019, negotiations have been at a standstill.
President Joe Biden vowed to proceed to discover diplomatic paths, however in a extra low-key method, on the lookout for areas of progress.
