Realities About Sexually Transmitted Illness in Casselton ND
Diseases which spread through sexual contact are referred to as “Sexually Transferred Illness” or Sexually transmitted diseases. As Everett Koop, MD, Former United States General Cosmetic surgeon put it “When you have sex with somebody, you are having sex with everybody they have made love with for the last 10 years, and everyone they and their partners have actually made love with for the last 10 years.”
Here are some truths about Sexually transmitted diseases:
- Sexually transmitted diseases impact guys and ladies, the health problems caused due to STDs might be more extreme for women.
- The primary causes of STDs are bacteria, parasites and viruses.
- Chlamydial Infection is the most common of all bacterial Sexually transmitted diseases and it might lead to pelvic inflammatory illness (PID) in females.
- Gonorrhea is among the most frequently reported infectious illness in the United States.
- The first signs of HIV infection might be flu-like signs and inflamed glands, which might appear within a month or 2. Serious signs may take years to appear.
- People who have actually been infected can make it through for several years with medication to combat the HIV infection.
- STDs may cause cervical and other cancers, pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic liver disease and infertility in women.
The threat of getting Sexually Transmitted Disease is high amongst children who indulge in sex and increases when an individual has several sex partners.
Individuals who are infected with Sexually transmitted diseases are more likely to get HIV infection when exposed to the virus through sexual contact than uninfected people.
A number of intervention research studies have exposed that detection and treatment of Sexually transmitted diseases might reduce transmission of the HIV infection. There are a number of sites which offer valuable details on STDs. You can also go to a center to obtain yourself checked for HIV.
How Syphilis Shaped Our History in Casselton ND
The pre-STD screening pages of history are littered with the names of well-known, and notorious, unfortunates who have allegedly caught the ravages of that most perilous (yet oddly melodic sounding) Sexually Transmitted Disease – Syphilis. The disease is indiscriminate in its spread and can strike anybody, from any background, from any nation and at any age. If spotted early, Syphilis can in fact be dealt with rather quickly. If left undiagnosed and unattended, in its final phases it leads to paralysis, dementia and eventually – death.
Nowadays, a simple STD test can detect the illness however back prior to STD screening was easily offered, and due to the fact that of the non-specific signs, many important historic figures died of Syphilis. Streets of paradise are apparently paved with excellent intentions, in the case of some popular names, it seems their promiscuous lifestyle led them down a path to a premature death. Possibly the world would be a very various location today if STD testing had actually been offered back then.
Highly prominent in both the contemporary art circles of the time as well as the marketing world, who understands exactly what developments Lautrec could have passed on had he been able to take a Sexually Transmitted Disease test and had treatment for his Syphilis? As it was, he passed away a sad and broken shell of a man; his talent lost through a life time of courting death by excess.
Viewpoint is divided, numerous people believe that the excellent poet and playwright Oscar Wilde passed away of Syphilis. His biting yet brilliant humour peppers lots of a discussion in contemporary literature and, possibly, if STD testing had actually been readily available, his unforeseen death at only 46 would not have robbed the world of such an unmatched wit.
Britain’s the majority of infamous emperor is another bold figure of history extensively believed to have contracted, and died of, Syphilis. With around 25% of men supposedly affected by Syphilis at the time, the odds are in favour of the well-regarded rumour.Where Do You Get Tested For Stds Casselton ND 58012

Surgery is one of those specialized fields that takes years of study, practice, and hard work to perform properly. It is an area of study that is often pursued by some of the strongest academic minds, and ultimately, it is a resource that too few people around the world have access to.
This is something that the University of Utah’s Center for Global Surgery [CGS] is hoping to change through the revolutionary work they are doing involving extreme affordability, cross-discipline international projects, and hard fought advocacy for the importance of surgery within the field of global health.
The Center for Global Surgery existed as a concept as early as 2008 according to CGS Associate Director, Ray Price, but was officially funded in 2011. The center has a number of ongoing research projects across the world, with two of their largest programs taking place in Mongolia and Ghana.
“Our goal in starting the Center for Global Surgery was to create the next generation of surgical leaders, helping them to be able to address the issues of quality and access to surgical care around the world,” Price said.
According to CGS Director, Catherine deVries, there are roughly 5 billion people in the world who do not have direct access to surgical care. Because of this, part of what the Center for Global Surgery strives for is advocacy.
“We have been very engaged with advocacy in the governmental and world health area as members of the G4 Alliance, advocating for surgical safety standards and accessibility on a global scale,” deVries said. “We’re not just working here at the university, we are very much engaged globally in advocacy and research.”
The efforts of the CGS extend beyond advocacy as well. Not only does the center regularly partner in collaborative projects with other educational and health institutions around the world, but also actively engages in education-based endeavors including teaching opportunities as well as continuing research into areas of surgical benefit for both the international community and the University of Utah.
“We want to build a framework for the study of surgical care globally. The study of the needs of surgical care and how it is put together is something that has not been studied in the realm of global health,” deVries said. “A lot of what we do involves collaboration, but we do work with education as well. The education we participate in is not provision of service like medical volunteerism, but when we are actually teaching surgery in foreign service, we do so by actually performing surgery with our foreign colleagues.”
Unlike surgical training here in the United States, the educational training provided through the CGS varies, mainly in that it must adapt to the complex needs of the country where it is being applied. While this necessary versatility can be challenging at times, deVries explained that it is not only possible, but has proven to be highly successful.
One of the ways that the Center for Global Surgery goes about adapting their teaching techniques for countries with fewer resources is by compacting the very lengthy training provided for surgeons here in the United States.
“Other countries may not have the luxury of extended training, so young people without much experience are given great responsibility,” deVries said. “So we must distill our teaching down into tight bundles that allow us to instill the essentials of surgical care during a short time period.”
One of the primary goals of the CGS is to take a closer look at the department of surgery and find a way to synergize and innovatively design solutions to problems that exist around the world.
One example that Price gave was of the work the Engineering Department has done in Mongolia. The goal was to find a cost-effective manner for performing laparoscopic surgery in a country where the majority of the nomadic population had little to no access to effective surgical care.
“Our goal was to see if we could redesign products such as surgical light or laparoscopic instruments and rather than make them for thousands of dollars, see if we could make them for $50,” Price said.
According to the Center for Global Surgery’s 2013 annual report, in Mongolia 30,000 people end up traveling abroad to seek healthcare, due to the lack of accessibility in their home country.
The resulting study on laparoscopic gallbladder surgery in Mongolia has shown remarkable results over the last nine years.
Prior to the CGS’s partnership with the Health Sciences University of Mongolia for the project, only 2% of gallbladder surgery was being done via laparoscopic surgery.
“After we began teaching our classes, we found that both open and laparoscopic gallbladder surgery had increased by 17% each year,” Price said. “By 2011, non-invasive, laparoscopic surgery became the primary way of removing the gallbladder in Mongolia.”
Much of the success the Center for Global Surgery has seen through projects such as these have come through the center’s dedication to seeking out partner institutions with which to collaborate. In doing so, the goal is not only to teach proper technique and safety, but to ensure that knowledge is spread as effectively as possible.
“We’ve really worked on not just teaching surgery, but looking more deeply at what the method is for teaching surgery, and what is the best way to go about that. As a result our students now have taken our model to other [Mongolian] states to establish it,” Price said.
In the end, the results speak for themselves. Not only is Price pleased with the success of projects such as the research into laparoscopic surgery in Mongolia, but he has high hopes that the work there will have a lasting impact across the globe.
The work done in Mongolia by the University of Utah in partnership the Health Sciences University of Mongolia, has garnered the attention of the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, which has shown interest in the successful precedent shown by the research project.
The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery estimates that $12.3 trillion could potentially be lost by 2030 due to unaddressed surgery in 88 of the world’s lower income countries, but that by putting roughly $420 billion into said countries, they would be able to very cost effectively counteract this, and help to improve these country’s surgical rates by the standard set through Mongolia’s success.
“This is an impact that is being talked about by universities around the world,” Price said. “It’s being talked about by ministries of health, all because of a lot of the work that was being done here at the University of Utah.”
As for the future of the Center for Global Surgery, both deVries and Price remain hopeful that the center will become a highly integrated part of the University of Utah’s increased focus on Global Health.
“Obviously surgery is only one aspect of global health, but we hope that by helping to strengthen the rest of global health, we can strengthen the university as whole,” Devries said.

WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington Apple is asking weekly questions to the three candidates running for the Wilmington/Tewksbury State Representative seat (19th Middlesex).
Below, in his own words, is the response to one of this week’s questions from candidate Dave Robertson (D-Tewksbury).
#1) How do you plan on voting on each of the three ballot questions? Can you explain your rationale behind each vote? (Background: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/ele18/ballot_questions_18/ballot_questions18.htm)
I am personally voting no, yes, and lastly no, but with a caveat.
Firstly, nurse-patient ratios. Initially on question one I was a yes. Safe patient limits have been proven to save lives, but after doorknocking awhile I was given a pamphlet on the no portion, which changed my mind. Speaking to several nursing friends in private practice has only solidified that view over the past few weeks when I asked them what they though. What concerns me is a few lack of safeguards. One, this would raise the cost of healthcare, which is already spiking, and with the hospital corporations buying out the competition I worry about an even quicker rise in the cost of healthcare. For those who are low-income, fixed budget, or even middle class we are getting squeezed even more. Another great point that I had failed to reflect on before was the impact that regional hospitals would suffer, where they specialize in specific surgeries and procedures. They cannot compete with the Mass Generals or Brigham and Women’s, and these limits would cause a staffing issue. I know Lowell General/Saints would likely weather the storm, but towns such as Pittsfield or North Adams would have trouble finding nurses to meet the new standard. This would result in heavy fines or being bought out by larger health networks who can more easily handle the rise in cost. Instead, I would like to see such ratios based on county populations, patient populations, and more, and implemented over time. We would also have to find a way to train the amount of nurses required for such a ratio to be met, which will require working with local colleges and universities to meet demand.
The second would create a commission to examine the effects of the Citizens United ruling on the Commonwealth, and the role of corporate money. I do not believe that corporate money should be spent to influence elections. You, I, and all the other people who work 40 hours a week, shuttle children around, cook, clean, and maybe get out to eat once or twice a month simply cannot compete with the level of financial influence that a fortune 500 company has. They already can employ lobbyists to bring their concerns to elected officials, and they do so with armies of attorneys and more. Now they can spend money to influence elections? A yard sign costs anywhere from 2-5 bucks depending on who makes it and how many you order. Newspaper ads are several hundred dollars. This adds up to thousands of dollars spent, which is alot for a candidate or movement, but nothing for a company. Whats to stop the Transrail corporation in Wilmington from running a campaign to confuse the residents, or a company in Tewksbury from downplaying negative side effects of a local ballot initiative in a local election? However, the commission may find some positives that are important and should be retained, and having a group research and produce non-binding results is a good thing. More knowledge should never be rejected.
Lastly is the Transgender Rights bill, which I will vote no. I believe that this law should have limited individuals to use the restroom as displayed on their license and medical documents. I do know that as science progresses, and individuals are able to undergo faster and cheaper surgery it will eventually become awkward to have someone who is fully functionally female or male use the other restroom because they were born the opposite gender; and their decision to undergo that surgery is simply none of my, or the governments, business. On the other hand, I have seen that crime statistics have not increased in terms of assault of any nature, rape, or more increasing in bathrooms, though the long term trends have yet to be established. As the medical field progresses I hope the public would be able to vote again on how they feel, but until that moment where a procedure is rapid and cheap I believe what an individual medically is identified as is the facility they should use.

The Noamundi iron-ore mine (NIM), part of the ore, mines and quarries (OMQ) division of Tata Steel, has executed a pilot launch of drone applications in mine monitoring (DAMM).
With this, NIM has become the first mine in India to introduce drones for mine monitoring.
The objective of this application at Noamundi is surveillance of the mining area, lease boundary inspection, inspection of the safety zone, counting vegetation in the reclaimed area and quarry and dump profiling for volume calculations. This DAMM trial at NIM is being conducted by Skylark Drones, a firm based in Bengaluru, India that specialises in drone applications in various industries.
Tata Steel’s OMQ division aims to work smarter and use innovations like autonomous vehicles, internet of things (IoT), big data, analytics, remote control centres, and predictive maintenance with prime focus on safety. As a part of mine automation, DAMM is expected to further help to achieve multiple benefits ranging from initial surveying to carrying out exploration activity, physical terrain mapping for segregation of land use, mapping of the forest area, contour mapping, 3-D modelling and detrital terrain modelling for effective mine planning, volumetric analysis of extractions, and reclamation studies using LiDAR ortho-photography, thereby ensuring safety and security within the leasehold area.
Balvinder Kumar, IAS, Secretary, Ministry of Mines in the Government of India, who launched the programme, said: “We have initiated mining surveillance system using space technology along with a mobile app. This will help in stopping illegal mining, monitoring mining plan, production, dispatch and royalty payment. We requested Tata Steel to demonstrate it in Noamundi iron mine.”
Rajeev Singhal, vice president (raw materials) at Tata Steel, commented: “It is a proud moment for all of us. Tata Steel has embarked on the digital journey to leverage benefits of the latest changes in this field. We are trying to keep pace with the global trends of digitalisation in mining industry and this is a step towards that. This technology of mine monitoring through drone will help us to address adequately any bottleneck on the ground with responsive mine administration.”
Pankaj Satija, general manager (OMQ) at Tata Steel, stated: “This is one of the initiatives towards being digital. It will be useful for mine monitoring, environment monitoring, lease boundary inspection, reclamation and rehabilitation also.”


Sharks coach John Plumtree is not getting carried away by the fact that his side is topping the Super 14 log.
After their latest victory over the Brumbies, the Sharks have 26 points. That is 3 more than the Waratahs, while the Chiefs and Bulls are both on 22.
“There is still plenty of rugby to be played. You can’t take if for granted that you will win on your home ground. We’re in a good position and expect the players to lift their energy next week. The players would have been able to prepare for an entire week by then,” said Plumtree.
Liam del Carme writes in Beeld that Plumtree was upset that his team had to defend so much on tour, but he felt there was an improvement against the Brumbies.
“We just about got the balance right. Sometimes we are still taking the wrong options,” said Plumtree.
“We’re working at that in training. We’d like to create more opportunities when we have possession. We are one of the most dangerous teams when it comes to turnover possession.”
The Sharks don’t score many tries by creating attacking opportunities.
Brumbies coach Andy Friend described the approach after his side’s defeat.
“They (the Sharks) just make tackle after tackle and wait for an opportunity to take the ball off you. Then they give it to one of their speedsters and he scores.”
Brumbies captain George Smith also said the approach was tough to handle.
“If you can’t stop their counter-attacks immediately, you are in trouble,” he said.
The Sharks may have to take on the Hurricanes on Saturday without Springbok wing JP Pietersen
Pietersen injured his achilles heel against the Brumbies and went for a scan on Sunday.
“Hopefully it’s not serious,” said Plumtree.Tweet

A mysterious rise in deaths of bottlenose dolphins this year has left scientists and officials in multiple states searching for answers. As of last Thursday, Reuters reports, more than 120 dead dolphins had been discovered across the East Coast, and carcasses continue to wash up on Atlantic shores.
So far most of the deaths have occurred in Virginia around the southern areas of the Chesapeake Bay. According to the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center, the average number of dolphin strandings for July is seven; This year, the aquarium has responded to 44 deaths in July alone. Just yesterday, as Richmond's local CBS affiliate WTVR reported, the aquarium confirmed that an additional 13 dead dolphins were found over the weekend. WTVR reports that two scientists from the Smithsonian Institution have been dispatched to assist with an investigation that has so far produced no definitive answers.
In 1987 and 1988, more than 700 dolphins were killed by bacterial and viral infections
This year's rash of deaths hasn't been seen on a similar level since 1987 and 1988, when more than 700 dolphins were found dead on the Atlantic seaboard over an 18 month period. Those deaths were found to be caused by bacterial and viral infections, leading some researchers to speculate that a similar outbreak could be the cause of this year's spike in dolphin fatalities.
Federal investigators are also participating in the search for answers, but have not nailed down a single cause. "There's a number of things that cause animals to strand," NOAA's Maggie Mooney-Seus told CBS News. "It could be biotoxins. It could be disease. It could be human interactions with fishing gear."
"It's absolutely alarming," a Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center researcher told Reuters. "This is really frightening because these animals are sentinels of ocean health."

As U.S. scales back, ‘King Coal’ reigns as global powerhouse
Question of the Day
He sees plentiful opportunities for U.S. coal exports, including $1.3 billion a year in exports to China alone if West Coast ports are built to accommodate the traffic.
While low natural gas prices are causing a massive switch from coal to natural gas plants in the U.S., sky-high gas prices in Europe are prompting many utilities there to switch back to coal, sending demand for coal soaring by 14 percent last year and creating opportunities for U.S. exporters, he said.
Painful transition in U.S.
All of this is good news for the battered U.S. industry, which has been losing market share rapidly in the U.S. amid plentiful supplies of cheap natural gas to fuel power plants. At its peak, coal provided 53 percent of power supplies in the U.S., but that is down to 42 percent today and the EIA says it will fall to 35 percent by 2040.
With an onslaught of U.S. environmental regulations targeting mercury, other toxic emissions and greenhouse gases, U.S. mining companies face daunting challenges to maintain their markets at home, even as the door is opening wide for exports to nearly every other corner of the world.
But taking advantage of the export opportunities will require painful restructuring and major logistical changes to address the needs of foreign markets, and the industry has only begun the transition.
Alpha Natural Resources, a top U.S. coal-mining firm that is being hit hard by the retirement of U.S. coal plants it supplies, has announced it is repositioning itself to take advantage of the growth potential for metallurgical coal in Asia and South America.
Since much of its production heretofore was thermal coal for U.S. power plants, the company is laying off more than 1,000 workers and idling some of its thermal coal mines in Appalachia and Wyoming, according to SNL Energy.
“With fundamental changes taking place in our business, we’re taking decisive actions that set the table for Alpha to compete successfully as a leader in the global coal markets for years to come,” Alpha chief executive Kevin Crutchfield said in announcing the changes. “We have a big opportunity to advance Alpha’s position as a premier supplier of metallurgical coal. Forecasts point to more than 100 million tons of increased sea-borne metallurgical coal demand by the end of this decade.”
Arch Coal, an Appalachian mining firm also heavily affected by coal plant retirements, is restructuring to become a metallurgical and thermal coal supplier to international markets, particularly in South America and Europe, but less so in Asia.
Central Appalachia “is certainly at a disadvantage going to the Asian market, but in the Atlantic market we have an advantage,” said Arch chief executive John Eaves. “We do think markets are short of coal, and we do think there’s a place for [central Appalachian] coal in Europe. From a cost standpoint into Asia, there’s a transportation difference we need to make up. But in South America and Europe, we have an advantage. That’s the way we’re positioning the company.”
To fully take advantage of the export potential in Asia, more port facilities that can handle coal exports must be built, and that is proving difficult as environmental groups — flush with success at reducing the use of coal at home — have vowed to block the export of coal to nations overseas with less stringent environmental regulations.
An Australian firm, Ambre Energy, has announced plans to build a pair of coal export terminals in Washington state and Oregon, but is facing fierce environmental opposition. The company needs an estimated $1 billion in financing to construct the facilities but has run into trouble raising the money.
Tom Sanzillo, finance director at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, an environmental think tank, said a growth slowdown in China and India last year undermined hopes for increased coal exports and made building ports a risky proposition.

Ubisoft has seemingly confirmed (via Nintendo Life) that a Nintendo Switch version of Assassin’s Creed III Remastered is in the pipeline.
Most people were expecting a Switch version to turn up after it was leaked on a retailer not too long ago. However, Ubisoft failed to mention it when dating the PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One versions of the game last week.
However, Ubisoft’s own Club website has since revealed Assassin’s Creed III Remastered is on its way to Ninty’s hybrid platform, alongside the other versions of the game.
There’s been no formal statement from Ubisoft on the matter just yet, although presumably we won’t have to wait long for that.
Assassin’s Creed III Remastered is due out for PS4, PC, and Xbox One on March 29, and is also included in the Season Pass for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

A 1 GS/s sampling digitizer designed with interleaved architecture (GSPS) for the LaBr3 detectors of the FAMU experiment
R. Travaglini*, G. Baldazzi, I. D'Antone, S. Meneghini, L.P. Rignanese and M. Zuffa

A fast continuous sampling digitizer has been designed to acquire fast scintillating detector signal from cerium activated lantanum bromide (LaBr3(Ce)) scintillation crystal. These are foreseen in the FAMU experiment which is aimed at spectroscopic measurements of muonic hydrogen, possibly providing insights into the so-called proton radius puzzle. The board, named GSPS, is implemented as an FMC mezzanine which hosts two off-the-shelf sampling ADC used in interleaved timing architecture, achieving a 1 GS/s sampling rate (with a 12-bit nominal accuracy over the first Nyquist interval of frequencies, ranging from DC to 500 MHz). Interleaved technique allowed us to keep both lower production costs and simple acquisition system avoiding complex interface protocols like JESD204. The board will be described; the test setup and the used methodology to characterize the device will be explained; the achieved performances will be shown and discussed. In particular it will be pointed out how the two interleaved ADCs can be calibrated in order to get the best performance. The different contributions to both noise and distortion affecting the device will be analyzed applying general techniques for high-sampling-speed continuous ADCs. Lastly, future improvements will be introduced: in particular, the solutions we foresee to get a effective number of bits of about 10 over the whole first Nyquist interval will be enlightened.

Indian Government is set to fix minimum and maximum annual fee slabs for engineering and management courses. While the maximum charge slab had been established previously, this is the first time that ideas for a minimum price have been made.
Must Watch: Would you live on 3D Printed Mars for a year for $60,000?
According to the media, the education ministry has accepted the recommendation of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to set a minimum yearly cost of almost Rs 68,000 for an engineering course in India.
The AICTE’s panel report included recommendations for setting a minimum and maximum fee cap. For its adoption, the council has appealed to all state and union territory governments.
The minimum yearly charge for a three-year diploma study in engineering is Rs 67,900, according to the panel report, which the media has seen a copy of. The maximum annual fee is Rs 1,40,900. The minimum price for a four-year engineering degree program has been set at Rs 79,600 per annum, with the highest charge set at Rs 1,89,800.
The cost range for a postgraduate engineering program has been restricted at Rs 1,41,200 to Rs 3,04,000. The lowest and maximum ranges for a postgraduate management program have been set at Rs 85,000 and Rs 1,95,200, respectively.

Engineering and technology, management, applied arts and crafts, planning, and MCA are among the technical institutes for which the panel has proposed minimum and maximum fees.
Rajive Kumar, Member Secretary of the AICTE, confirmed the development, saying, “The panel report was accepted by the ministry early this week and we have already written to state and union territories to start implementing the fee structure.”
“It is now up to the states to review the suggestions and decide a fee structure accordingly, since each state also has its own fee review committee,” he added.
Minimum fee fixed for first time
Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh had submitted suggestions for the panel report.
Under the chairmanship of Justice Srikrishna, a former Supreme Court judge, the AICTE formed a committee to examine the present price structure and establish standards and guidelines for charging tuition and other charges. In August 2021, the committee submitted its report. The same was sent to other states and union territories for their feedback.
The report was finally delivered to the Ministry of Education after gathering input from states and UTs and thoroughly evaluating all elements.
While the maximum charge slab had been established previously, this is the first time that ideas for a minimum price have been made.

Aqueous Film Forming Foams (AFFF) containing per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) have been used historically for fire suppression and training at the Williamtown RAAF Base. PFAS chemicals are highly soluble and do not degrade, remaining in the environment for long periods.
RAAF Williamtown is situated on the highly permeable Tomago Sand Beds aquifer which adjoins the Stockton Sand Beds aquifer. Both aquifers are tapped by municipal and private bores and groundwater discharges to waterways used for recreational and commercial fishing.
As part of AECOM’s Environmental Site Investigation, HydroSimulations built a regional-scale MODFLOW-SURFACT groundwater flow and transport model to verify conceptualisation of the aquifer system and predict the fate of PFAS originating from the base. The model was calibrated to replicate groundwater levels and match the conceptual distribution of PFAS based on recent groundwater samples, identifying key sources and uncertainties in PFAS distribution. MODPATH was used to identify the ultimate groundwater discharge locations and estimate the PFAS travel time in groundwater.
A key finding was that the simulation of PFAS transport through groundwater alone was not able to replicate the current PFAS concentration distribution observed downgradient of the Base. Subsequent simulations including PFAS movement through surface water drainage networks improved the modelled distribution against laboratory reported concentrations, indicating that overland flow plays a role in PFAS transport from the base. There has been concern for the potential contamination of the adjacent Stockton Sands aquifer, however model results indicate a hydraulic barrier exists at Tilligerry Creek, caused by convergent groundwater flow from north and south of the creek upwelling against estuarine clays and discharging at the creek. The upwelling effect will continue as long as groundwater levels in the Stockton Sands are maintained, and tidal gates at surface water drains allow discharge of surface water during low tides.

Venlafaxine Side Effects
Venlafaxine, popularly known as Effexor, is a commonly prescribed anti depressant drug, used to treat depression in adults. It has been proved time and again that Venlafaxine is a superior drug over many other anti depressants like Prolac and Zoloft. In fact higher doses of this drug have almost cured symptoms of depression in patients. It is medically also a better tolerated drug in most individuals than many other depression relieving drugs, hence its use is widespread in most countries. It is one of the most commonly prescribed drug in the United States with a record of around 17.2 million prescriptions in a year. However, Venlafaxine side effects are many and difficult to deal with.
The first reason that this is only an adult drug is simply because of one of the biggest Venlafaxine side effect. According to this, a person consuming this drug shows greater tendency of self harm or suicides. Hence this can not be prescribed to either children or adolescents at all. Preferably patients under treatment of Venlafaxine need to be under medical surveillance. In case if that is not possible, then family guidance and constant watch is important. In other cases, patients already suffering from glaucoma should not have Venlafaxine since it all the more increases internal eye pressure. Also, pregnant ladies should avoid this drug as much as possible since these are proved to increase chances of spontaneous abortions or congenital malformations. Similarly, nursing mothers also should not consume this drug since it is directly secreted in mother’s milk.
Due to various drug interactions, it has been prohibited for this drug to be consumed along with MAO inhibitors, or at least can not be consumed within a time period of fifteen days. The dosage of Venlafaxine increases gradually and even while discontinuation, the dosage needs to be decreased gradually. Since this drug interacts with the very important neurotransmitters found in the brain, it is important to take care of these little precautions to avoid any immediate Venlafaxine side effects. Abrupt stopping of Venlafaxine intake again can cause nausea, mood swings, changes in smelling especially towards food.
The most common Venlafaxine side effects include vomiting, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, lethargy, and loss of appetite. This intake also results in increased blood pressure and hence blood pressure should be measured at regular intervals. Seizures have been reported. Other commonly reported side effects includes dry mouth, dizziness, sexual dysfunction or decreases libido, abnormal ejaculation, constipation, vertigo, anomalous dreams and decreased appetite. Failing memory has also been reported in many patients and has been noted as a dangerous Venlafaxine side effect.

This continuous feedback loop of monitoring and adjustment empowers stakeholders at all levels to identify early warning signs, seize emerging opportunities, and navigate challenges with agility and precision.
One of the primary advantages of adopting a data-driven approach with robust monitoring mechanisms is the minimization of risks and uncertainties. Rather than relying on gut feelings or outdated assumptions, decision-makers can rely on hard facts and figures to guide their actions. Monitoring enables the identification of deviations from expected norms, allowing for swift interventions and course corrections. This proactive stance is particularly crucial in industries where even minor oversights can lead to significant setbacks. Additionally, data-driven monitoring facilitates a deeper understanding of customer behavior and preferences, opening the door to personalized experiences and targeted engagement strategies. By closely tracking customer interactions and feedback, businesses can tailor their offerings to align with evolving demands, enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. Furthermore, the realm of data-driven decisions extends beyond the boundaries of immediate operational concerns. It plays an instrumental role in long-term strategic planning and resource allocation. By analyzing historical employee monitoring software trends, organizations can forecast future demands, allocate resources optimally, and strategize for sustainable growth.
This data-guided approach fosters a culture of accountability and transparency, as decisions are anchored in empirical evidence rather than conjecture. In the context of research and development, data-driven monitoring accelerates innovation cycles by identifying bottlenecks, evaluating prototypes, and gauging the efficacy of novel solutions. In conclusion, the age of data-driven decisions has ushered in a new era of informed choices fueled by continuous monitoring. The marriage of technology, analytics, and strategic thinking empowers organizations to navigate the complexities of an ever-changing landscape with confidence and precision. By embracing data-driven monitoring, businesses and institutions position themselves at the forefront of progress, armed with the insights needed to not only survive but thrive in an increasingly competitive and dynamic world. As technology continues to advance, the symbiotic relationship between monitoring and decision-making will undoubtedly shape the trajectory of success for those who harness its transformative potential.

There is no denying that CONVERSE is deeply rooted in music. The musician-approved Chuck Taylors All Star has witnessed some of the greatest music moments first hand, from the first person point of view. While being a more active observer is fun as it is, Converse has been taking more initiative in exploring other ways to get involved in the industry which has quickly adopted what was originally designed as a basketball sneaker into its own, transforming the shoe from a functional item into something that is a cultural icon. This summer, Converse is not only hosting a series of concerts on New York City's Governor's Island (last weekend the island was filled with folks who had traveled across waters to listen to the Morning Benders, Freelance Whales and Wild Nothing), but is also embarking on a music collaboration project named "Three Artists. One Song".
"Three Artists. One Song." is a project which aims to recruit three extraordinary musicians of today to collaborate and fuse their varied styles onto one unique track. This summer, the original track will be created by Kid Cudi, Best Coast and Rostam Batmanglij. To celebrate and prep for the release of the final track, Converse will also be releasing a three-part video documenting each artist who has participated in the creation of this sonic collage.
First up is a video featuring Bethany from lo-fi Best Coast. In the video, Bethany talks about her inspirations, her favorite part about performing and making music, and the sunny California weather, as she and her band explores Hamburg on their European tour.

It is, without a doubt, that Andrew McCutchen is one of the games best players over the last decade. His impact on the city of Pittsburgh has not gone unnoticed. He returned to Pittsburgh last season on a one-year deal after a five year absence. He now is back in the same jersey for yet another year.
McCutchen has had himself quite the career so far, slashing a career .276/.369/.465 with 299 home runs. His career in Pittsburgh has been nothing short of unforgettable. McCutchen is coming off a season, slashing .256/.378/.397 with 12 home runs. His on the field performance is just as valuable to the Pirates as his in house presence is. McCutchen is the leader of this young Pirates organization, that has had its fair share of growing pains.
McCutchen, 37, is obviously on the tail end of his career. Finishing his baseball career in Pittsburgh seems to be a priority for him, as it should be. McCutchen will always be remembered for his commitment to the game and his phenomenal 2013 MVP season. As fans will appreciate McCutchen a bit more in these final seasons, his career will always be an impactful one in Pittsburgh.

This spring a friend of mine invited me to shoot a round of "sporting clays." It was like golf, he said, but with shotguns. I've been familiar with guns since childhood, though I don't esteem myself much of a marksman. I figured it would be good for a walk in the park.
In fact, the game involved a progress along a series of a dozen or so shooting stands. At each of these, orange ceramic flying discs (about the size of coffee saucers) were fired into the air, angled to mimic the flight of different birds. The discs came from all directions and seemed to move extremely fast. I had very small hope of hitting even one of these things, I thought, but I watched my companion carefully, so that maybe at least I wouldn't look stupid. As if his gun barrel was a pencil, he drew a line across the moving target, through and past—then bang, the quick acrid tang of burnt gunpowder, and the orange disc burst into splinters that scattered through the pellet-raked trunks of the surrounding trees.
Expectations very low, I shouldered my rented twenty-gauge, and shouted for the target to be released. Pull--that's the code word. Without a thought, I swept the barrel across the flying disc and pulled the trigger. To my total amazement, the target shattered in the air.
It got more complicated as we went on. The skeets were launched in pairs, or one directly after the other, or crisscrossing from two different launchers. They'd be coming at you or going away. I hit . . . well, not all that many, but a respectable number for a first time out. By jingo, I thought, I might actually be good at this.
So I tried it again, a couple of weeks later, with the same companion. I felt the benefit of a certain experience. I felt like I knew what I was doing, and tried to do it consciously. Couldn't hit a damn thing all day. Shot after shot punched nothing but holes in the empty air, while the orange skeets sailed blithely past, unfractured, sometimes shattering themselves against a tree.
"Looks like you're thinking about it too much," my friend finally observed.
It was like that, too, with my first shots at writing short stories. They tended to be aimed at lofty ideas, and to travel well behind their targets.
"Where do you get your ideas from?" may be the dumbest and deadliest question a professional writer can be asked. A sure sign that the interview, Q & A session, or whatever, is headed for a nosedive. And yet, one does get asked this with some regularity, so I have prepared the following snappy reply: My ideas are dictated to me by demons.
This answer has the effect (usually) of changing the subject pretty quickly. I assume the audience registers it as no more than a dodge, a jokey evasion. Which in a way it is. On the other hand, I actually do believe it.
Inspiration is hard to talk about. Most artists and writers can't talk about it without drifting away into pseudo-mystical hogwash. Or brainwash, even, for many writers who try to discuss the matter end up sounding like they're proselytizing for some kind of cult. And yet, certainly, a story without inspiration is no good of a story at all.
In the middle of that dismal second day of skeet-shooting, something different happened. It was a hard one, a double simultaneously fired fast and low, fired from two different launchers so as to cross in midair. Forget about it. So I did. I just looked and pulled the trigger--once, twice--and watched amazed as both the saucers broke. Not so much as a thought had gone into it. Like all I had to do was hit the targets with my eyes.
What you see is not always what you get. My first desire to write stories was created by the experience of reading them: the pleasure of the experience the stories reproduced and of the way they moved me, at a subliminal level, toward their meaning. I had learned to enjoy reading quality stuff. It's easier to consume than it is to produce. Masterpiece fiction, as George Garrett would tell a fiction workshop to which I belonged, can be too limited a diet for beginning writers . . . because it's so flawlessly, so seamlessly achieved that you can't for the life of you figure out how it was done.
I left school for what would have been the first semester of my sophomore year of college and went back to Tennessee to try to write short stories. By day I worked (ironically enough) in the warehouse of a book distributor. By night I wrote, or practiced the banjo. Probably playing the instrument was as useful in the long term as what I was writing then, but it would be years before I figured that out. The stories were so conscientiously constructed that they ticked through every movement. Each of them strained so hard after its intended point that it missed it altogether.
In high school I had been drawn to the stories of Flannery O'Connor, for the hard-edged simplicity of her style and the way in which she could invest the rather ordinary events of her plots with meaning. Hers was fiction at the masterpiece level, but it helped that she'd left blueprints to a few of her artifacts, in the collection of "occasional prose" called Mystery and Manners. About the composition of the story "Good Country People" she had this to say:
I wouldn't want you to think that in that story I sat down and said, 'I am now going to write a story about a Ph.D. with a wooden leg, using the wooden leg as a symbol for another kind of affliction.' I doubt myself if many writers know what they are going to do when they start out. When I started writing that story, I didn't know there was going to be a Ph.D. with a wooden leg in it. I merely found myself one morning writing a description of two women that I knew something about, and before I realized it, I had equipped one of them with a daughter with a wooden leg. As the story progressed, I brought in the Bible salesman, but I had no idea what I was going to do with him. I didn't know he was going to steal that wooden leg until ten or twelve lines before he did it, but when I found out that this was what was going to happen, I realized that it was inevitable. This is a story that produces a shock for the reader, and I think one reason for this is that it produced a shock for the writer.
Now despite the fact that this story came about in this seemingly mindless fashion, it is a story that almost no rewriting was done on. It is a story that was under control throughout the writing of it, and it might be asked how this kind of control comes about, since it is not entirely conscious.
All the secrets I know about writing fiction are contained in this passage. Of course (like anyone else) I had to live through them for a considerable time before I knew them well enough to act on them--to act, as O'Connor puts it, in a "seemingly mindless fashion." And weirdly enough, playing musical instruments or studying martial arts (something else I took up at around the same time) were just as pertinent to the whole enterprise as the practice of writing itself.
At the end of my last year of high school, I'd made my first attempt to write a serious grown-up short story. The piece had the advantage of an external, arbitrary form, which was derived from painting. It was nearly plotless, imagistic, and depicted in its central segment the death of an old man. This center was balanced on either side by images of the deaths of a peacock and a bull. I called it "Triptych." The high-school draft had the disadvantage of being written in a ventriloquistic imitation of Ernest Hemingway's prose style. That term I took off from college I went back and rewrote it, somewhat less conspicuously, in the manner of Flannery O'Connor. It was a patchwork thing, but that last jolt was enough to make it sit up on the table and start stretching its clumsily sutured limbs. After its fashion, it lived. "Triptych" was sufficiently viable, in fact, to become my first published story and to make it into my first collection (thus bypassing a lot of other stories I wrote later, but tossed). But, even at its highest point of evolution, it was a work of craft, not inspiration--a put-together thing.
It was another couple of years before I actually managed to hit one on the wing. I devoted most of my junior year of college to writing an utterly awful novella. The conceit was to crosscut the wanderings of a contemporary car thief with a tale of the Oglala war-chief Crazy Horse. The project was overplanned and top-heavy with sophomoric philosophy and it evolved into the sort of disaster that this combination of ingredients would lead one to expect.
I dogged my way through it anyway. I even made myself believe it was good. But shortly before it was done, I cracked. What set it off was something small: an image, out of real life, of a blind student in the food hall, locating the comestibles on his tray by touch. With that, a voice talking about it, and the first few scraps of phrasing. I had the notion in the afternoon, began to write that night, and by next morning the story was complete in its final form; a black-humorous disquisition on the class system displayed by the university's food service organization, told by a narrator in the midst of a quasi-comic nervous breakdown.
For the first time I had brought one in alive.
During this same period I was learning Tae Kwon Do, and with others in what was then called the Princeton Karate Club, competing in small tournaments in the area. Our big event of every season was a tournament with West Point. Innocent of any natural athletic ability whatsoever, I had through persistence acquired some skill in the movements. In the ring I had no sense of rhythm or harmony, and my calculations of what was going on were inevitably completed too late, but because I was excitable and aggressive enough, I could still sometimes be dangerous. I went into a West Point tournament with a bruised bone on the outer edge of my right foot. In the first awkward clash that dime-sized spot got hit again. The flash of pure pain dropped me to the floor. The sensation was so brilliant that it didn't even register as either pain or pleasure; it was a blinding, searing, white light. I was tripping for a good few seconds there, washed in the flood of endorphins, while my teammates swirled around me, wondering if maybe I'd broken a bone. In fact I was in no way impaired and when I got up I won the rest of my three matches, without knowing how I'd done it, without any awareness that I was doing anything at all.
I wrote a failed novel as a senior in college, and dragged its carcass around for two years, thinking it might be resuscitated. One night, I reread it all the way through and finally decided to let it drop. At once a sudden flood of new ideas poured over me. A situation: a guy who claimed to have a talking rock, and some other characters, still shadowy, who mocked and refused to believe him. I picked up a pen and began writing just about as fast as I could move my hand. My impression was that the stylus never stopped moving--there was not a single pause for reflection. When the story was finished I thought maybe two hours had passed and wondered why my neighbors were starting their cars. I stuck my head out the door and saw full daylight. I'd worked an eight-hour session without knowing it, but the story was done.
Unlike my earlier brush with inspiration, this one didn't draw directly from my own experience. I was familiar with the setting (Washington Square Park in New York City), but the characters and the plot were invented out of the whole cloth--in "this seemingly mindless fashion." I had not thought of any of it before that night and yet somehow it was complete in its final form the next morning, in need of no more than a light feather-dusting.
How was something like this possible? How could I get it to happen again . . . ?
There was enough energy and potential in that story and its characters that over the next year I could spin it out into what became my first published novel. That was a very different sort of writing experience than my first attempt at the long form, all hard work and laborious craftsmanship--with little in common with that first thrilling dance with the dæmon which had produced the story. But the story lay at the heart of the novel and provided it with a pulse.
About six months into this novel project, I had another unexpected burst of inspiration that generated a very nice little story (I called it "Monkey Park"), apparently out of nowhere. I realized that it would probably happen again . . . and again, even though, much as I might want to, I couldn't consciously make it happen. And in fact it has continued to happen, unpredictably but with reasonable regularity, during the twenty-odd years since. Those moments tend to come when they are most desperately needed, like oases appearing in the desert. When the effort of rolling the stone of a novel farther uphill seems too much to bear for even one more day, the sudden, quasi-magical appearance of a short story can make me feel a lot better about the whole situation. When my daughter was an infant, writing time had become so precious that my best efforts of that period were a couple of ten-page stories squeezed off in a single short sitting. And so it goes, or comes and goes, and always as if a bolt out of the blue.
Various explanations of this phenomenon are possible:
1. I am insane. Well, let's say "temporarily insane"--at the moment inspiration strikes with the amount of force deployed in these intermittent episodes, and perhaps even during the time when the inspiration is executed. In fact there is a good deal of literature that supports the idea that many writers and artists enjoy a mild version of bipolar disorder (a.k.a. manic-depression) and that flights of inspiration (often resulting in the artist's best work) occur in a manic state. I have no problem with this diagnosis, so long as no one tries to lock me up. This kind of constructive mania is a good thing! (. . . so long as the rebound depression isn't too severe . . .) In fact I'm not sure exactly where I'd be without it.
2. The flash of inspiration is the result of unconscious mental process--more precisely, the sudden coming to consciousness of something that's been unconsciously percolating for a much longer time beforehand. Since the sudden inspirational surge tends to come to me in the middle of arduous labor on some long novel or other, the repression model from depth psychology offers an attractive explanation. The fleeting ideas for stories that appear in those circumstances have to be brushed aside, because I am supposed to be concentrating on the novel . . . and of course the story ideas are all the more seductive because of their forbidden flavor. Forbidden by the artistic superego, the story idea is mashed down into the unconscious level, and processed there until it's just about done, at which point it thrusts its way up into the light, often in something very close to its final form. There's a tremendous release of pressure, sort of like what you get by lancing a boil, and then . . . back to work on the novel.
How can you secretly compose a whole story without even knowing you're doing it? Analogies from other arts help some. The whole point of musicians endlessly practicing scales is to bring the response of their hands to the reflexive level. During performance (and especially improvisation) the skill acquired through repetition is deployed as if automatically, so that the true note is played at the same instant it presents itself to the inner ear--with no delay for conscious thought. Same situation in most athletic endeavors, but especially fighting. If you analyze your opponent's movement consciously--well, looks like he's fixing to do this, so I guess I probably better do that--your response will inevitably come too late. Instead, you have to cultivate that "simple, mindless fashion" of reaction. The analysis has to be completed and the response launched at a preconscious level; that is, you have to hit the target without thinking about how you're going to aim at it.
In storytelling, the unconscious involves what Flannery O'Connor (quoting herself from Jacques Maritain) calls "the habit of art," which in my case is a kind of grandiose term for a hyperactive fantasy life filtered through long-practiced craftsmanship. The unconscious communicates well with consciousness in a sort of light trance state. The state can be reached through hypnosis or meditation or various other forms of deliberate induction. My theory is that most writers, often as not without knowing it, have figured out some way to get there when they write. It's in the light trance state that the story material formed in the unconscious can come out most fluently onto the page.
I did an experiment with this recently, under more controlled conditions than normal. I've been taking a weekly Tai Chi class, about three hours long. In the middle of it everyone is required to do about a half-hour-long meditation. Meditation in this pure form is not really my thing and the first couple of times I had to do it I was attacked by a severe case of monkey-mind. Finally I thought I would try to treat it as an exercise in creative self-hypnosis. I had just the seed of a story idea: a situation and a voice. The story would be told by a crow who was the actual subject of Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem, "The Raven." That was all I started with. During the meditation, the key linkage of images appeared in my mind: marble, crystal ball, eyeball, the sphere of the earth seen marble-sized from a long distance away in black space. The story was destined to be part of a group whose titles are all drawn from pieces of music, and during this same half hour I recognized that the emerging image pattern could be expressed in the title of a Suzanne Vega song, "Small Blue Thing." That much was enough. All I had to do was pull on that string of related ideas and the rest of the story came out with it; I completed it in the next couple of days.
3. The stuff actually is dictated to me by demons. Inspiration, if you break it down, would mean the putting-in of spirit. If you change the spelling of demon to dæmon, it loses its pejorative, devilish connotation, and means instead creative demi-urge.
That early inspired story about the talking rock, in the process of evolving into a novel, started me researching spirit-possession cults, because one of the characters was a practioner of Puerto Rican santería. I also read a lot about Haitian Vodou, and this research became one of several threads that led me to begin writing stories about Haiti and also to travel there. Vodou observance, in its ceremonial practice, involves the displacement of the individual personality--a god, espri or spirit, appears in the vacated space in the believer's head. Belief in this possibility is very widespread, and a great many Haitians who don't practice the religion formally still experience the influence of spirits as motivators of their actions and their speech. Surrounded as I've been by such a very strong belief, I have even had a few such experiences myself . . . in which the self, as individual actor, goes into abeyance, and something else seems to speak and act through me. I am no longer I, but have become, temporarily, a simple conduit for an outside force. Such experiences are not always positive, but when they are, they provide quite a strong catharsis. And the feeling, both during and afterward, is quite similar to the feeling I get from writing one of those stories which seems to arise from pure and foreign inspiration.
If you are a writer you may believe that the story you write is simply and completely an artifact built out of words, constructed entirely by your own will and skill. But where's the life in that? You may instead believe that the story is animated by a rapport with something outside itself: a truth, or a spirit, existing in the world outside its maker. I lean more and more toward the latter view.
Oh well . . . see item one, above.
There is, however, one more dodge out of the insanity diagnosis. Around the same time my whole way of thinking began to be really affected by my visits to Haiti, I happened to read a short story in The New Yorker, about the terrible culture shock its protagonist suffered on returning to the United States after a couple of years with the Peace Corps. I felt an instant sympathy with this character. He was a few steps ahead of me in grappling with the same sorts of questions. One of the things he had figured out was that generally while in the First World, the unconscious is inside the person, subjective and contained, in Africa it's outside--part of external reality.
Big difference there. Though actually, it's all in the way you think about it. Dostoevsky, in most of his major work, exploited this same psychological border. Was Ivan Karamazov really visited by the Devil or was it all a hallucination produced by his "brain fever"? You can write it off to brain fever if it makes you feel better about it, but when you boil it down there's not much difference: what we experience subjectively is the only reality we can reach.
So . . . back more or less where I started. My work is dictated to me by dæmons. Best explanation I can offer. Indeed it is the one I prefer. Of course, if I sat around waiting to be touched by the inspirational angel, and did no work until that happened, I would have done something less than a quarter of the finished writing I actually have.
Norman Mailer said somewhere that the only real difference between a novice writer and an experienced writer is the ability to work on a bad day. If a good day is a day of inspiration of the kind I've described here, then I'd have to admit that most days are bad ones. I labor with the skills I've acquired over time, drawing on the glow of some inspiration that occurred at some point (often a distant one) in the past. And I do wait and hope for the next flash to come.
Can't make it happen though. You cannot force inspiration to come . . . or at least, not with muscular effort. There are ways, however, to create in yourself a state of receptivity, a hospitable environment that invites the dæmon. Haitian Vodouisants understand this principle very well; most of their rituals express it. The thing expressed is a willingness to allow your individual conscious ego to be displaced by the spirit. With this kind of literal inspiration the spirit acts through you, like a current passing through a wire. When I think in these terms I can get myself to believe that every story I write already exists out there in a bright, electric cloud of potentiality, and that it uses me only as a conduit to bring itself into being.
In the courtship of their dæmons, writers engage in all sorts of magical behavior. Usually there're a couple of ritual gestures that have to be enacted before beginning work for the day, sometimes a long obsessive string of them. Yes, I do this kind of thing myself. But the most important propitiary ritual is the practice of the craft as such--the dullish work you have to keep doing on your majority of bad and uninspired days. As with any other art, practice is what prepares you for performance--seeming drudgery of scales or calisthenics. Practice enough, and whenever the spirit does move you, you will be ready to respond. Then you have only to point your pencil, look, and you've already hit the target.

Yes, indeed... considering that some refuse to cut defense spending and others refuse to entertain entitlement reform and others who support endless "wars" and others who desire to send deficit spending through the roof for health care "reform," while all we want is more spending for US so we can pass a massive deficit on to THEM... our children will need to show us mercy since they are now footing the bill for the current generations and there may very well be nothing left for them when they retire. Shame on US and may THEY show us mercy.
I register dissent.
I want working class people to be able to be treated for cancer without having to declare bankruptcy.
I'm not the least bit interested in actively trying to screw the next generation.
I have no party-political investment in how the healthcare system is fixed. But it does actually make me incensed that the US doesn't seem to understand how broken the system is. It's like watching a rape and declaring that the couple are on their honeymoon.
I don't disagree, but what we currently have in place will not solve the problem. And no one wants to purposely wreak havoc with the next generation, but that is in fact what is going to happen if both sides don't stop the nonsense.
but what we currently have in place will not solve the problem
I agree completely.
With respect to healthcare we need to stop believing that capitalism is more important than the health of individuals in our society. (I expect people will read into that all sorts of things I don't mean, but I'm too tired at the moment to explain.)
that is in fact what is going to happen if both sides don't stop the nonsense
It seems to me like there has been nothing but on-going political campaigning since the last presidential election. Our elected officials need to start being elected officials and stop being politicians.
