The Augustinian friars of medieval Britain pledged themselves to a life of poverty, but their friaries offered a pretty high standard of communal living. The monks dwelled in buildings with sophisticated stone and glass work, studied in libraries, and dined on the products of bountiful gardens. When nature called, they enjoyed dedicated latrines and hand-washing facilities, complete with running water systems that were rare even among the era’s wealthiest households. But new research on human remains from a friary buried below the University of Cambridge shows that the monks suffered greatly from a gastrointestinal affliction—worms.
Scientists unearthed centuries-old parasite eggs, buried with monk skeletons in the friary’s private graveyard, and to contextualize their find, compared their abundance with the parasites found among commoners of the same era in a nearby Cambridge cemetery. The friars were afflicted with intestinal worms at almost double the rate of Cambridge’s general population—despite the fact that many of the city’s inhabitants lived with sanitary facilities no better than a hole in the ground.
“We expected, if there was going to be a difference, it would be the monks who had fewer intestinal parasites of the kinds spread by poor sanitation,” says Piers Mitchell, an osteoarchaeologist at the University of Cambridge. “Because they had hand-washing and nice toilets, while it would be the poor peasant who may not have a toilet at all, or even have freshwater to wash their hands, who would have more parasites.”
A study co-authored by Mitchell, published today in the International Journal of Paleopathology, is the first to compare parasite abundance among individuals who lived different lifestyles in the same medieval community. Such work may help untangle which factors have historically promoted parasite afflictions and which factors helped humans to keep them at bay. The study suggests that while sanitation will always be key, other factors may also play a role.
Founded in the 1280s, Cambridge’s Augustinian friary was a leading house for the reading and study of manuscripts and hosted clergy from across Britain, and Europe, for about 250 years. In 1538 it was closed, like many English monasteries, when Henry VIII broke with the Roman Catholic Church. Left behind were the graves of deceased friars, shared with the intestinal pests that were with them in life.
Mitchell and colleagues sampled the grave soil that, during decomposition, fell into the body cavity where the intestines once resided. This soil mingled with remnants of the abdominal cavity and its contents, including the eggs of worms that lived in the intestines while the corpse was alive. Using digital light microscopy, the team sifted through the soil to spot and sort the ancient parasite eggs still found with each skeleton after many centuries.
“The eggs of most intestinal worms are pretty tough, otherwise you’d digest them and they’d never get to reproduce and infect other people,” says Mitchell, who was part of another team that recently found parasites in the 4,500 year-old poop left by the builders of Stonehenge. “The tough wall that stops you digesting them also makes it hard for soil fungi and bacteria to break these things down. So many of them can survive in soil for hundreds or thousands of years in the right kind of conditions.”
While examining the remains of 19 monks buried on the friary grounds, most from the 13th and 14th centuries, the team found that at least 11 (58 percent) were infected by worms. When they similarly tested the remains of 25 adults from the cemetery of All Saints by the Castle parish church, just eight of those townspeople (32 percent) had parasites.
The team wasn’t surprised that some 30 percent of medieval Cambridge’s citizens suffered from parasites; those numbers line up with results found in other studies of the period around Europe. But the high rate of infection among the monks, nearly double this average, raised eyebrows.
Why such a high prevalence of roundworm and whipworm infections? The scientists speculate that the monks may have picked up the parasites when putting feces to work as a fertilizer, either by emptying their own latrines to manure crops, or by bringing in outside fertilizer contaminated by parasites in human or pig excrement. These hands-on practices were definitely used in medieval and Roman times, just as they are today in parts of the world where other fertilizer options are scarce.
“It’s a practice that works, but the problem is you have to make sure you break the cycle of infection,” Mitchell notes. The parasites, which in the case of roundworms can grow to nearly a foot in length, pass their eggs in human feces. When humans then ingest food or water contaminated by this feces, they become infected and host a new generation of parasites. To prevent infections, farmers can compost human waste so that it reaches temperatures high enough to kill off pathogens, creating safe fertilizer, but that can be a tricky business.
Many of those afflicted with the worms would have suffered gastrointestinal distress but never known that parasites were the reason. In other cases, the obvious presence of visible worms in feces would have made the problem nauseatingly clear. But medieval medical experts, while aware of worms, did not know they could be spread from person to person and especially by poor sanitation.
The learned inhabitants of medieval Cambridge wrote of how parasitic worms were an unpleasant part of life, and in the process displayed a misunderstanding of the problem. Seventeenth-century medical practitioner John Stockton wrote a manuscript suggesting that different intestinal worms were created by imbalances in the body’s four humors; blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile. “Long round worms form from an excess of salt phlegm, short round worms from sour phlegm, while short and broad worms came from natural or sweet phlegm,” he wrote. Stockton’s treatment included bitter medicinal plants like wormwood, which can kill off some parasites, though likely at the cost of persistent diarrhea. A 15th-century monk named Symon Welles swore by an even less palatable cure, a curative drink made from powdered moles. For some, the Welles method involving the small mammals may have made living with worms seem like not such a bad option after all.
Scientists have delved into many ancient latrines to uncover evidence of ancient diets and intestinal parasites. Studying such parasites yields a lot of important information, but it does involve some challenges. For example, one expert pointed out that the small sample sizes used in studies like this one can make it difficult to draw broader conclusions. Another expert cautioned that what seem like parasite eggs can sometimes be confused with plant or fungal remains.
But studying such pests can inform the best ways to control and eradicate them today. That often means improved sanitation, which generally leads to lower levels of harmful parasite problems.
Medieval Cambridge was home to several friaries and nunneries, as well as the other typical inhabitants of a medieval city including merchants, craftspeople, laborers, farmers and even early students of the university that centuries later is spearheading efforts to delve into their past.
Studies like this one that compare parasitic infection rates among discrete subsets of a single community are uncommon, because when bodies have mingled in a cemetery for centuries it’s hard for researchers to know exactly who’s who. But the monastery's private graveyard provided a unique opportunity. Burials were mostly restricted to the brothers who lived there, with the exception of some wealthy outsiders who paid for the privilege of interment in sacred soil. These could be easily spotted and omitted from the study because they weren’t wearing the telltale robes and surviving rusty belt buckles, in which the friary’s monks were buried.
Such unique historical situations, like the castle toilets that preserved parasites from crusaders’ feces, offer chances to learn in more detail about how different humans coped with the intestinal pests that were all too common in the past—and to help eradicate their descendants who remain all too uncomfortably with us today.

I am always pleasantly surprised to come across a restaurant serving healthy vegan food in Ireland, let alone a small town. We had the option between two main dishes (one vegan and one vegetarian) and several salads. The vegan main dish was a sweet potato stew which tasted great. I enjoyed the salad made with potato and green beans, but I didn't care too much for the chickpea/bean salad. The hummus and bread were very good. There is also a store connected to the cafe selling a rather large selection of organic produce.

In a few weeks, kids will be heading back to school for the first time in five months. Wednesday, Governor Kay Ivey addressed the state informing us that students and teachers from second grade through college will be required to wear a mask at school until Aug. 31. The comments on social media from many parents in Cullman were anything but supportive. I read everything from, “This will be over in November” to, “Kids will never wear masks” to, “Are they going to check oxygen levels?”
Our country is facing a lethal pandemic. It is not a hoax and as of Thursday, 11 residents of Cullman County have passed away. Statewide, 1,516 families have lost loved ones. These are real people who have died while doctors and scientists work tirelessly to combat the virus. Many more people are sick and on ventilators and even those who are considered to be “recovered” report having long-term effects.
Parents have known since early July that schools would be offering both traditional and virtual school this fall. In a poll conducted on Facebook by The Tribune, 75% of those who participated said they would choose traditional school. For kids to be able to attend traditional classes, is it really a surprise that our schools would need to make adjustments in order for this to happen and that masks would be one of those adjustments?
Parents who wanted traditional school, and in some cases, demanded it are among those who are now crying foul over Ivey’s mask mandate. This virus is an inconvenience to everybody. Masks are not the preferred accessory by most people; however, if that is what is recommended to give you the best chance of your child not catching COVID-19 while allowing him/her the benefits of traditional learning, I think it’s a no-brainer.
All the complaining and ranting by adults about kids being required to wear masks? Well, kids emulate the adults in their lives. If their parents have no respect for the rules, neither will the kids. If the parents continually say masks are stupid, so will their kids when the teacher asks them to put on the masks. I feel for our teachers as they go back to the classroom with kids who have heard nothing but dismissal of the virus and the recommended precautions.
The “kids will never wear masks” complaint, well, they will if they are encouraged and taught at home and at school that it will protect them. They will when there is a united front from the adults in their lives. They will when adults remember the importance of kids following rules and not suggesting to them that they are the exceptions to the rules.
Wearing masks is just one of the many changes facing our children as they go back to school. Things will be different, but they don’t have to be made more difficult and confusing by parents feeding them conflicting instruction. Cullman County and Cullman City have some of the best teachers in the country, but they will need your help. With the support from parents and the community, they might all make it through this school year with healthy, happy children and their sanity.

Caregiving at the hospital
Different challenges face those who help provide care for a person who is hospitalized. For example, caregiving in a hospital requires providing support and acting as a liaison between the patient and the health-care team.
The following suggestions can help:
Play an active role on the health-care team. Seek opportunities to provide information to other members of the health-care team (such as the oncologist, surgeon, attending physician, or nurses) about the patient’s condition that will help the medical team better evaluate and treat the patient.
Communicate with the attending physician. Find out the name of the doctor in charge (usually referred to as the attending physician) who will be coordinating the patient’s care throughout the hospital stay and introduce yourself. Make it clear that you are interested and want to be kept “in the loop” when important results are communicated and decisions are made. Give the nurse and doctor your contact information and make sure that it is clearly included in the hospital record. At the same time, ask the doctor for his or her card and how you may reach him or her if the need arises. Keep a running list of questions to ask the doctor and make sure all of the questions are adequately answered.
Reach out to nurses. Get to know the nurses who are caring for the patient. They are an excellent source of information and support and can answer your day-to-day questions. They can also provide practical tips for caregiving and may provide information and educational materials.
Meet with a hospital social worker or case manager. These professionals can help with any discharge planning issues (when the patient is released from the hospital), including information about follow-up care and payment for additional expenses, such as any special transportation services.
Having legal documents in place is just as important when assisting with care at the hospital as it is at home. Learn more about advance directives.

Prompted by Terri's post about her dogs and how they react to the rain, I thought I would do an update on my hounds.
Custard is the perfect family dog, he loves everyone but is also a great guard dog. Yes, he actually sounds very ferocious when someone is at the door, once he has put down his toy rabbit. He does not seem to notice the weather - rain, snow, wind, it is all the same to him. The only thing that gets to him is heat which is now in short supply.
Meet Frou Frou.
See the Birthday badge on her harness?
She is the baby, just turned 2, and has just started to notice that the weather is changing for the worse - she like sleeping in the sun on hot days. Each day the dogs get 5 walks. 2 of these are long ones over the fields, the other 3 are quick ones around the block for pees, the rabbits having taken over the garden. Frou has decided that the short ones are good, but sees the longer ones as purely optional - if the weather is nasty she hides in our daughter's room until we have left with the others.
She is my uncle's dog, and is now living with us for various reasons that I won't go into. She used to be a tough nut who, like Custard, did not seem to notice the weather. However, she seems to be learning from Frou Frou, and is becoming very reluctant to go out in bad weather, but stops short of hiding or refusing to go - at the moment, anyway...
The new pecking order has now been established. A few days ago, Bryn decided that she had to put Frou Frou in her place - minimum force was exerted, but finding Bryn's mouth around her neck seemed to be enough for Frou. Last night they were playing together like old buddies, which was great to see - Bryn was starting to seem very old a while back (she is 9), but seems much better now. There is one down side to this, though - she has rediscovered the joys of fox poop...
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Q&A with inSite
Racial equity work acknowledges that systemic racism has impacted disproportionately communities of color. Can you tell us more about how this has played out in Phoenix, and why you think this work is so important?
Many of the most controversial race-related laws passed over the last decade have emerged from Arizona. Legislation, including SB1070 and HB2281, the racial profiling law and the banning of ethnic studies in Tucson, respectively, are both examples of systemic and structural racism working to keep communities of color incarcerated and displaced from access to power. The higher courts largely defeated these bills, but the impact on the Arizona and national community in the wake of their passing has been destructive beyond measure.
Partly as a result of these bills and other forms of systemic racism, we see a 14-year lifespan difference between south and north Phoenix communities, for example. Imagine that every mile you move north a person lives two extra years. Or reverse this – you die faster the more south you live in Phoenix. We have many sobering statistics of systemic neglect, which speaks to the histories of displacement of Indigenous, Black, and Brown bodies in this area.
For InSite, our work is about addressing these historical issues of disparity, naming them, and reconciling these histories to make possible a transformed future. We cannot build a more just and equitable future on a foundation of invisible oppression. We have to acknowledge, transform and envision a future for people of color that is thriving.
Phoenix is actively engaged in transit-oriented development. Can you talk about the impact that infrastructure projects have historically had on existing residents, particularly residents of color?
Across our nation, and around the world, we are witnessing the mass-mobilization of communities to combat displacement from their homes. This displacement is most often caused by large-scale infrastructure projects that ostensibly bring prosperity and improvement to the city. The challenge we face is that these projects improve the lives of some, while simultaneously hurting others. We know that infrastructure projects that run through historically marginalized communities displace those residents at exponential rates, particularly lower-income women of color.
At Insite, we think of displacement along three-lines: Dispossession (gentrification out of homes), Disappearance (increasing people of color in prisons), and premature Death (decreasing life expectancy). So, we are not just talking about people losing their homes, which is devastating, but more importantly, the ways that losing one’s home is the beginning of a process of slow premature death as it connects to poor health, lack of community infrastructure, homelessness, and imprisonment. We can longer accept a false logic of progress that has us believe that for some to live then some must die. It is not true and not necessary.
What was the state of play when LISC Phoenix decided to their equity and infrastructure project?
Our partnership with LISC Phoenix was a natural fit, because at their core, LISC’s mission is about addressing the root causes of displacement and to keep communities of color on their land and in their homes. Our relationship, beyond just consulting and projects, has deepened into what is best described as a thought-partnership in the service of large-scale systemic change that considers communities of color, women and immigrants at the center of the transit project, rather than at the periphery. This is no small or easy process, considering transit projects are really about creating access to capital flows, which usually represent white middle-class consumer interests and not lower-income communities of color. We have asked for a lot of courage in our partnership with LISC Phoenix, and we are seeing some very important results.
You all start your engagements with a “Testing the Waters” meeting. Tell us more about what those are and why they are necessary. Who do you think are the key stakeholders when incorporating a racial equity lens into community development planning? How did this play out in Phoenix?
To speak of racial equity and/or systems change is really to talk about a massive disruption in the status quo of power. As one might imagine, a disruption of this kind will not be taken lightly or with open-arms, but often will be met with considerable push back. We think it is important to be transparent about the risks associated with this type of work, so everyone is prepared for the challenges. It takes a long time to build trust and value for leaders to make these changes. And it only happens if there is a considerable pressure from outside forces, like those community organizations that mobilize to make visible the injustices of policy-brutality, deportations, and gentrification (all of which are connected to transit projects). There is a calculus to the work of institutional change and it is forged through the partnerships with local organizers on the ground, NGOs and organizations like LISC. Once we have made these relationships, we can then decide who is willing to act in solidarity. Most people want to do the right thing, but do not have the tools for the work. Inviting people is often about building a critical mass and requires a lot of resources, of which we are thankful to work with LISC in the ongoing work that happens behind the scenes.
We think it is important to share that LISC Phoenix’s leadership has been transformative in influencing how other institutions navigate the transit conversation in south Phoenix. Terry Benelli has been a key player in facing her own power as a white woman, and has decided to act in solidarity with folks on the ground, instead of through a top-down approach. This fundamental shift has signaled to other leaders that this type of ethic (and it is an ethic) is a new way forward that will offer more fruitful results. It is definitely more risky and requires sharing power and funding, and often not receiving credit, but the work is in service to those most impacted, and that is what is important and transformative.
In the report, you describe the tension in the room during the first meeting as “palpable.” What are your strategies for facilitating conversations around racial equity?
At InSite, we believe that all racial equity conversations and strategies must de-center “whiteness,” not white people, but whiteness. What this means is that if we are going to do the work of creating equity, which at its essence is about power-sharing, we must place at the center of the equation those communities most impacted by the disparities we are addressing, which are most often people of color, women, LGBTQ, immigrants and youth. When we do this, we receive push-back and tension from those who have enjoyed the privilege of the center for centuries. We have learned a few things about thiss. First, we must build capacity for white people to navigate their racial discomfort without shutting down. In other words, we must teach white allies how to thoughtfully and consistently confront their racial discomfort. Second, we must create spaces where communities become the leaders and thought-partners at every level of the conversation. Finally, we must build what feminist scholar, Chandra Talpade Mohanty, calls a “feminist insurgent solidarity” among institutions and communities to help us all see a new future outside of the historical confines that limit our imaginations. This takes time and trust.
Who and what have you found to be essential resources and partners at both the local and national level, specifically as it relates to racial equity?
There are some really wonderful folks doing critical work and have been for decades. Not surprisingly, they are mostly women of color and organizations who are led by people of color. At InSite, we think the work of Race Forward and the Government Alliance for Race & Equity are wonderful starting points for any organization who wants to do this work. It is also vital for us that we are following the lead of political organizations like Black Lives Matter, Mijente, Southerns on New Ground, Trans Queer Pueblo, and Poder in Action to name just a few. These organizations are more adaptable and responsive to the inequities facing their constituents. They are more nimble and imaginative than most institutions or NGOs, and therefore should really lead our thinking and practice on this topic. This is hard, because it means that we have to give up power, but it is essential for equity.
Lastly, we should be reading people who have made it their life’s work to create space for racial and feminist justice: Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Audre Lorde, Adrienne Marie Brown, Virginia Grise, Dr. Maribel Alvarez, and so many others who have dedicated their lives to bridging institutional missions with communities to make solidarity together.
What would be your advice to other practitioners getting started in Racial Equity work?
I’ll go with a list:
Know who you are accountable to. If you are accountable to your funders, it is very difficult to do transformative work. Be accountable to communities most impacted.
Follow the lead of women of color, LGBTQ communities, migrants, and Black Lives Matter. They will reveal where the disparities are, and only then can you understand how to create systems change.
Know the difference between intention vs. impact.
Read women of color. Follow women of color. Support women of color.

With all the angry denials earlier this year from Republicans who have been accused of conducting a war on women, you might think that those same Republicans might just lay off that war until after the election, if only to suck the momentum out of their critics’ narrative. But for some reason, the party of Ayn Rand acolytes has decided that even rational self-interest is no competition against the larger goal of making the ladies of America pay for all the hot sexing, most of which isn’t even uploaded on XTube for Rush Limbaugh’s enjoyment.
Yes, just when you thought they were backing off for a bit, Republicans are once again fighting the War on Contraception, a service 99 percent of women use at some point in their lives. Presumably, this is just a warm-up to the political winner of the War on Cute Animal Videos, which you should keep an eye out for in October.
You’d think Republican lawmakers would have learned a lesson from the prominent failure of the Blunt Amendment, which attempted to give employers permission to get into your business and deny you contraception coverage through health plans you earn with your labor and money. But, no. On Tuesday, Rep. Denny Rehberg attached an amendment to a labor, health, and education spending bill that would once again allow your employer to decide if it approves of your sexual choices and whether or not you should get contraception coverage. The bill goes on to deny funding for contraception to Planned Parenthood until they give up providing abortions, even though no federal funds actually go to abortion.
The fight over state level defunding of contraception is getting hotter this week, too, as Planned Parenthood has sued Arizona for cutting off contraception funding by denying women on Medicaid the opportunity to get their non-abortion preventive care at Planned Parenthood, even though it’s often the only provider many women on Medicaid have access to. The word “abortion” is being tossed around a lot to justify this assault on contraception and other preventive care, but it’s worth remembering that a sincere dislike of abortion would lead to wanting more access to contraception, not less. Of course, if the motivation is hostility toward female sexuality, then the behavior of Arizona legislators is perfectly rational and consistent.
There’s one silver lining in all of this, which is that efforts to cut women off from using contraception are often meeting defeat in court. U.S. District Judge Warren Urbom of Lincoln, Nebraska, just dismissed a lawsuit brought by seven states demanding that employers be given the right to deny employees’ earned contraception benefits, on the grounds that the employer disapproves of their private sex lives. Urborn dismissed the claim that an employer’s obligation to keep its nose out of employees’ panty drawers is a violation of religious freedom, and was particularly skeptical of the suggestion that the ACA’s exemption for religious organizations should be expanded to any employer who invokes Jesus to cover up for his grabby interest in his employees’ sex lives. It’s hard to imagine this will be the end of legal attempts to deprive employees of their religious freedom to make their own contraception choices, but it’s good news all the same.

"In an era when women couldn’t vote and Native Americans were denied citizenship, Susan La Flesche shattered not just one barrier, but two, to become the first Native American woman doctor in the United States."
Susan La Flesche's dedication to becoming a doctor sparked from when she was eight years old sitting at the bedside of a dying elderly woman. The doctor was summoned four times to the aid of the elderly woman, who never showed up resulting in a painful death for the lady. The message that was sent from the Doctor explained the reason for not showing, one of the lines from the message included "It was only an Indian".
Susan went on to attend the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, "a time when even the most privileged of white women faced severe discrimination." Upon graduating, she went on to help and serve 1,244 patients spread over a territory of 1,350 square miles on her reservation.

Christian Science Monitor:
In the fertile "bread basket" of central Iraq's Diyala valley, roadside-bomb attacks have nearly stopped.If you have been wondering what the US strategy in Iraq consisted of, this story gives you a pretty good idea. But is all you read is the NY Times and Washington Post you would never know the situation even exist anywhere in Iraq. There is much more.
This ethnically complex patchwork of towns, villages, fields, and orchards, which US commanders call a "little Iraq," has seen its share of insurgent activity since 2003. But nowadays, the local Sunni Arabs appear inclined to climb aboard the US-backed political process, rather than trying to derail it through violence.
The relative peace in the breadbasket is the result of a carefully managed transition from US to Iraqi security responsibility, US and Iraqi commanders say.
While roadside-bomb attacks in July were down more than 30 percent compared to the same month last year, the drop has been especially drastic in August. The local Iraqi Army unit, the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, officially took the lead in a roughly 1,158 square-mile battle space, containing nearly 300,000 residents, on July 31.
"We're responsible for actual security, and it is going well," says the unit's commander, Col. Theya Ismail al-Tamimi, a former intelligence officer under Saddam Hussein who has gained the Americans' respect by keeping constant pressure on the insurgents. "Attacks are a fraction of what they were," says Colonel Theya, as he is known to both his own troops and the Americans.
US troops recently closed down one of their forward operating bases near here, "since the area was so calm," Lt. Col. Roger Cloutier, a US battalion commander, says.

"The Long Road Home: The Aftermath of the Second World War"
By Rich Fisher
Tulsa, Oklahoma – On today's show, we speak by phone with Ben Shephard, an author, historian, and documentary filmmaker (who's made several films for the BBC and Channel Four). Shephard's new book, just out from Knopf, is "The Long Road Home: The Aftermath of the Second World War." There have been hundreds of books about World War II over the years, but perhaps none has examined as fully as this one the experience of the millions of "displaced persons" who were sorely lacking --- at war's end, all over Europe --- not just a home but also, in a way, an identity. As noted in this "starred review" in Publishers Weekly: "In the vast literature on WWII, scholars have largely ignored the 10 million to 15 million displaced persons who confronted the Allies in 1945. British writer and documentarian Shephard tells a fascinating story of their ordeal. Although concentration camp victims made headlines, their numbers were hugely augmented by millions of foreign workers and slave laborers later joined by millions of destitute Germans expelled from former conquered nations. Aid planners expected a typhus epidemic, but generous use of DDT prevented this. They expected to repatriate everyone only to discover that many objected to returning to Soviet rule; Shephard describes American soldiers dragging terrified Russians and Ukrainians to assembly points. Despite relief efforts, in 1947 a million refugees lingered in dreary camps; Germany remained devastated. Matters only improved after the Marshall Plan's massive infusion of money and supplies, sold to a reluctant Congress as an anticommunist program. Shephard reveals that however well planned, post-WWII relief also produced shambles. His masterful account mixes history, colorful personalities, and moving individual stories."

LORRAINE Kelly has taken to Twitter to gush over Olympic champ Sir Chris Hoy’s rippling torso.
In her tweets, the mum of one also drooled over former athlete Michael Johnston’s “incredible” voice and called Jamaica’s 200m male medal winning trio “gorgeous”.
The Daybreak presenter, who lives in Dundee with husband Steve and daughter Rosie, shared a topless snap of Scotland’s most famous Olympian with her followers on Twitter. She posted the patriotic pic of Sir Chris in his Team GB cycling shorts, telling her 291,248 followers: “Here is a beautiful thing,”
She reposted the picture twice, telling one friend “Crickey! Here’s a wee pic you’ll like,” and claiming to be “selfless” for sharing the snap.
Lorraine even managed to catch the attention of Sir Chris himself, who replied last night “Thanks;-)”.
But the modest star later deleted the tweet.

HGTV Fans Claim Christina Anstead Is the Reason They Don’t Watch ‘Flip or Flop’
Tarek El Moussa and Christina Anstead went through a high-profile divorce after they announced their separation in 2016. The exes have since continued to work together on Flip or Flop, but some fans have spoken their minds about their distaste toward Christina — and even consider her the main reason they no longer watch the show.
Tarek El Moussa and Christina Anstead have been on TV since 2013
When Flip or Flop first premiered more than seven years ago, fans were instantly interested in the show. A young California couple remodeling homes in one of the most expensive areas in the country had fans tuning in week after week. That was, until 2016, when things became far more interesting.
Tarek and Christina announced their separation in 2016, but they vowed to continue working together. And after that, fans couldn’t help but watch to see how the dynamic shifted between the two. For the most part, things remained the same. Christina moved on quickly, and though she started a new life with Ant Anstead less than two years later (she and Ant have since separated), she and Tarek continued to work amicably.
Some HGTV fans say they don’t watch the show because of Christina
The show’s ninth season recently premiered, and Tarek and Christina both reflected on how far they’ve come since they started on the small screen so many years ago. Fans have grown to enjoy their dynamic, but some who watch HGTV can’t stand the show — and it’s all because of Christina.
“I have zero clue why HGTV thinks that she is marketable. She should be on the Real Housewives instead of still skating on Tarek’s coattails,” one user wrote on Reddit. “Tarek always seemed so down to earth while Christina was annoying as all get out. Episodes of Flip or Flop without her were instant faves,” another person commented.
In a separate Reddit thread, fans criticized the show as a whole and questioned how it has run for so long. “I like most of the shows on HGTV except this one. One of the reasons is neither of them have the presence and personality needed for TV,” one user wrote. “Tarek seems like he can’t stand her, and she just smiles and agrees to keep the peace. So awkward,” another person added.
Other fans came to Christina’s defense
Despite the hate on Christina, some fans came forward to defend her in the threads. “So much hate! I actually like her,” someone wrote. “How many haters are kicking Christina when she’s already on the ground? … We as women need to support one another; I have been shocked on this site how much anger is coming out,” someone else wrote.
Fans have rallied around Christina after she announced her separation from Ant Anstead. Though there was plenty of criticism, her fans reminded her to “do you” and not pay attention to the “haters.” Christina opened up in an Instagram post about her decision, and her biggest fans have continued to offer their support.

BL!NK: For Laura, with love
The number 3 has always been a charm for me. Over time, it has appeared and played a role in my life.
"One of my first encounters with the number was in the 1970s. I took a photo of my shadow on a wall, and when I was looking at the finished print, I realized that there was a number 3 written on the wall just over my head. I knew it meant something, but I didn't know what.
"Over the years, I've had a lot of adventures and met a lot of women. As a photographer, you meet a lot of models.
"I was married once in the 1960s and again in the 1980s, and after that I was dating a lot. But eventually I got really tired of this. I thought about getting married again and settling down. Would I find love the third time around?
"In 1984, a psychic visited my studio in Manhattan. He said, 'You're going to marry a woman whose last name is spelled with the letters C-A-R.' I quickly thought that it might be Irene Cara from 'Fame,' though I'd never met her before. That didn't seem possible, so I just let it go.
"At the end of 1984, I was living in my studio and sleeping in a back room. One night I was sitting there by myself on the bed watching the TV. Eventually a music video came on for the song 'Hello,' by Lionel Richie. It featured one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen. I said out loud, 'I'm going to marry that girl.' But as time went on, I didn't give it a lot more thought.
"About three months later, I was working in the studio on a Monday morning and my assistants were out front, handling the model 'go-sees,' their portfolios, to see if anyone looked interesting. When it was time for lunch, I stepped into the elevator at the same time that this model was on. I looked at her and thought, 'Wow, she's absolutely gorgeous,' and then it dawned on me — she's the same girl from the 'Hello' video.
"So I asked her, 'What's your name?' and she said 'Laura Carrington.' I immediately remembered the psychic saying that I would marry a woman with the letters C-A-R in her last name. Wow! I said, 'Would you like to go to lunch?' And she said, 'Oh, I have other appointments. I've been here a few times already to show my book and this last time I wasn't going to, but my agency insisted that I go.'
" 'Well, give me your number and give me your card,' I told her. When she said OK, I nearly flipped. She had a really nice personality. She was basically an actress who did some modeling.
"I called her the next day and asked her to go to dinner. She said, 'No, I'm seeing someone.' And I said, 'OK, I'll forget about that.'
"Soon after, a job came up to do a shoot in Antigua in the Caribbean for a liquor ad. I had to pick two female models and two male models. I decided that Laura would be perfect for this, and she was interested, but I had to take her Polaroid first. At the studio, I took the opportunity to ask her if we could go to dinner, as friends, and she agreed. This was February 1985.
"Shortly after, a crew of us went to Antigua. I had an assistant with me, along with an art director, four models, a hair dresser and a make-up artist. But the adventure really got going when it turned out that the hair dresser was a woman I used to date. And oh my goodness! She still liked me. So we're all gathered there shooting on this beach and I couldn't take my eyes off of Laura. When we had some spare time I did some shootings of her alone on the beach.
"After the shooting we started dating and soon fell in love. I guess she forgot about her boyfriend.
"I found out that her birthday was April 15, so I took her to St. Martin in the Caribbean as a birthday present. We decided to get married in June.
"When we came back, I met her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Carrington. We had dinner at a Brazilian restaurant in the Soho section of Manhattan. They looked incredibly familiar to me. It was like I had seen their faces, that I had known them for years. Her family decided to set up the reception.
"We were really in love. This was the woman I'd been looking for all these years. I just knew it.
"Our honeymoon was a trip of a lifetime. We went to Paris, Rome and our last stop was Tunisia. We drove for hours into the Sahara Desert to a little town called Douz. Our first night there we checked in late, so we decided to go to the pool. The nighttime sky was full of stars, a million more than we'd ever seen before. It was so romantic and beautiful. There was a musician playing a little metal flute that sounded magical and enchanting. Together with the stars and the music, we embraced and began to twirl in circles in the pool. It was like a dream from the 'Arabian Nights.'
"When we came back from the honeymoon, we lived in New York for a while and then, one day, Laura got the part of Lisa Baron in the soap opera 'One Life to Live.' It was a steady part, and she stayed with it for a couple of years. Soon after she got the role, another woman got a part — my ex-wife Tery Ferman. Laura and Tery did not get along very well and pretty soon the whole industry knew that Tony's wife and ex-wife were on the same program and they really didn't like each other! It was like a soap opera inside of a soap opera. It was the talk of the industry.
"After two years with 'One Life to Live,' Laura got an opportunity to work in Los Angeles on the soap opera 'General Hospital,' playing Simone Hardy. We decided that we would keep our two apartments in New York and I moved out of the studio and got an office.
"While Laura was working on 'General Hospital,' I was flying back and forth from New York to L.A. three times a month. I got to know the flight attendants and they would joke around that I was flying as much as them.
"Eventually, Laura got pregnant and took a leave of absence from 'General Hospital.' We drove cross-country, something she had always wanted to do. Along the way we would stop to eat at restaurants and she would be bombarded by people who recognized her and wanted autographs. We had a great time. She loved the trip.
"Soon after we returned to New York, she had the baby — Danica. It was Memorial Day weekend, 1988. Our second child, Alexio, was born in 1994 and Lien in 1996. Danica is an art student, Alexio is an actor and Lien is a singer/songwriter. All are honor students.
"This year marks our 25th wedding anniversary. So it seems appropriate to use the line from the 'Hello' video — 'Is it me you're looking for?'...
"Yes, it was. Happy Valentine's Day, Laura."

Massachusetts Needs a Real Net Zero Stretch Code!
Net Zero buildings, buildings that produce as much renewable energy as they consume, are better for our public health, for our environment, and for our communities. Net Zero design is predicated on three central pillars: energy efficiency, electrification and renewable energy. Net Zero housing is also an affordable option: Net Zero construction is not significantly more expensive than standard construction, and affordable housing is being built to net zero standards in Massachusetts right now!
At MCAN, we are grateful for the inclusion of a Net Zero stretch code provision in the Net Generation Climate bill, and are excited to work with communities across the Commonwealth to encourage Net Zero housing in their own communities!

Dogs love Christmas, wait, you don’t believe me? Check this video 😉
These dogs belong to the Mirror Method Performance Team in Hungary. They are all well trained. As a method they use a combination of positive reinforcement and establishing that you are the dog’s “leader” to teach them how to be well-behaved. as you can see those dogs are really well behaved 🙂
SHARE if you LOVE Dogs ❤
The way the dogs decorated the tree and put gifts under the tree was amazing.. Dogs are GREAT! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Happy Christmas my Pals
Let’s celebrate Sinterklaas firstbefore we get into the Christmas spirit! 😉
So cute and funny 😄


My dad always believed that you usually got what you paid for. As a result, he was never shy about paying a little more to move the quality needle upward. He knew that the additional investment would usually return to him, and then some.
I guess I've carried that notion into my own life. Certainly, I've not always been able to go for the best or the most expensive, but I have recognized the value of paying more today for an expected payoff later on.
All of the recent reports about the budget shortfall facing the City of Dallas and the City's plans to meet the funding shortage have me thinking about my dad.
So, I've done a little research on the City of Dallas, the current shortfall and the tax base for the city.
We are told that the shortfall will amount to $190 million for the next fiscal year. That represents 1/10 of the city's $1.9 billion spending plan to be approved by the City Council in September.
I got to thinking about that $190 million gap.
The City of Dallas' Tax Office told me when I called (they were extremely helpful, by the way) that the city received property tax payments from 390,932 taxpayers last year.
The city also receives funds from sales taxes and fees for various services, fines and permits. I realize that funding for the different departments and positions flows from various funds, each with complicating limitations and restrictions. The City's budget process is complicated.
Forgetting about these other sources of funding and the inherent complications for now, I calculate that if the property tax payers, all 390,932 of us, paid $486.02 more in property taxes this year lots of good things would happen in the city.
For example, all of the city employees (variously reported at between 900 and 1,300 individuals) who lost their jobs last Friday could be retained. Wonder what that would mean to their families and to the same tax base that pays their wages or to the status of their mortgages? Based on what I read in the news reports last Saturday morning, it sounds to me like the extra funds might not be needed for the entire year to maintain the city's full workforce. The City expects to be able to hire back many of those laid off within a few months, likely due to expected new sources of funds.
What's up with that? Why not raise taxes now, save all the jobs now, and next year pass along a tax reduction if that turns out to be possible?
No hours would need to be eliminated from the city's libraries or the swimming pools next summer or the recreation centers during the school year or the public health clinics. . .the list goes on and on.
Not an inconsiderable amount. And, I know, some would pay more based on the value of the home in question, but it's not a regressive system of taxation.
$486.02 at most. . .that works out to $40.50 per month or $9.35 a week or $1.33 daily. . .to save hundreds of jobs now, lost by my neighbors here in Dallas.
It appears to me that all of this pain and strain is being inflicted and endured so that we can all boast, "We balanced the budget without a tax increase!"
My dad wouldn't buy it. And, come to think of it, I bet my fellow citizens who lost their jobs wouldn't be celebrating either.
Lots of things are worse than an increase in taxes to support the common good, like, for instance, the overall decline of the common good.
I'd find it refreshing if our leaders reconsidered the challenge, got really responsible and levied a tax increase.
Maybe I'm just weird. But I come by it naturally. I got it from dad.


At a gala Society of Plastics Engineers’ banquet Wednesday evening, Ford engineers collected the grand award for the most innovative new use of plastics in cars.
They won for designing the largest automotive component ever made with a microcellular foam molding process. The innovation was significant because of the amount of weight that can be removed from a car through widespread use of the technology, which is called MuCell.
More than a pound is saved in the instrument panel of the 2012 Escape and Ford
Executive Chuck Rocco told me that Ford plans to aggressively implement the weight-saving process throughout Ford vehicles and applications. Ford wants to reduce weight a minimum of 220.5 pounds from its smallest cars, and 661 pounds from larger cars by 2020.
Many entries in the SPE Automotive Awards program are tours-de-force of engineering innovation. That was not so much the case this year because, after all, MuCell has been a commercial process since 1995 when a company called Trexel was granted a license by MIT to develop the technology. MuCell has been demonstrated at countless trade shows as one of those many fascinating technologies on display.
But Ford takes home the big prize because it took MuCell from a small to a very large stage.
The MuCell Process refers to the controlled use of gas in its supercritical state to create a foamed part. Targeted are components with maximum wall thicknesses of less than 3mm. There are significant savings beyond weight reduction. The process generally offers a 50-75% improvement in key quality measures, such as flatness, roundness, and warpage, and also eliminates all sink marks. These improvements result from the fact that relatively uniform stress patterns are created in the molded part rather than non-uniform stress characteristic of solid molding.
That’s because the pack and hold phase of the molding cycle is eliminated.
That also means you can use a lower tonnage (and less expensive) molding machine. In the case of the Ford instrument panel, there was a 45% reduction in tonnage needed. A big press was still needed because of large platen requirements. But press like is extended because of the lower force employed, Rocco says.
Cycle times are lower, creating the ability to produce 20-33% more parts per hour on a given molded machine.
While the MuCell technology isn’t brand new, Ford had to invest significant engineering time in tooling development and flow optimization.
Congratulations to Rocco and the entire supply chain team: George Halow, cockpit & trim chief Engineer at Ford; Junko Pauken, the Ford engineer who made the presentation to the judging panel in October; Steve Campana, Ford program director at systems supplier Faurecia Interior Systems; Steve Braig, CEO of MuCell; Sanjay Patel of Flint Hills Resources (materials’ supplier) and Chuck Jarrett of SABIC Innovative Plastics. The tooling supplier is Lamko. The MuCell process for instrument panels was trialed on a 3000-ton machine at the Proper Group in Warren, MI.

NVIDIA has a tablet coming, but the device has been shrouded in a bit of mystery to this point. Like many regulatory filings, the first run didn’t give us much. This last pass through the FCC has given us quite a bit to consider, though, as some specs (as well as pics) were revealed.
The internal pictures reveal a 7-inch, 1280 x 800 display with a Tegra 4 variant that’s new to the scene. Engadget is also reporting a 3200 or 4100 mAh battery, along with a 5MP camera. There is also a stylus for this tablet, and it comes preloaded with Autodesk Sketchbook Express to take advantage of that feature.
The user manual also shows a pretty Jelly bean looking Android version, and notes that aside from a few NVIDIA apps, it’s pretty much stock. The same user manual also notes that you don’t need a Google account unless you “want to use Google Market to download and manage Google apps between devices”, which we found to be odd language.
According to pictures and the language in the user manual, this new NVIDIA tablet will be called — wait for it — The Tegra Tab. Sadly, an underwhelming name for what looks to be a mediocre tablet. We’re sure the Tegra 4 processor will be snappy and reliable, but we’d really like to see a better screen on such a modern tablet.

If Nvidia thinks they can compete in the small tablet market when they can’t even compete in the relatively small SoC market, they’re in for a surprise. A bad one, that is.
I think they were pretty much well aware about that. But still i don’t they giving up like texas instrument did with their omap. Nvidia SoC might not be the best but so far their soc was the only one that can keep up with qualcomm high end chip like snapdragon 800. I believe this tablet is more for promotional purpose like they did with nvidia shield. The article above mention Autodesk software wil be preloaded with the device to take advantage the stylus which directly related to nvidia DirectStylus technology that comes with every tegra 4 chip.
Don’t forget Nvidia is fairly new to the market. Think about it, only now(more like in the near futur) do they have a wireless modem to offer with their product… in a wireless industrie ! Seriously, a few year’s back they were making their very first SoC, competing against company like qualcomm and TI which were there forever. One is down, the other had such a lead in wireless that no one could compete anyway. But look at tomorrow, The market is shifting. The lead qualcomm had on wireless is shrinking, the next thing after LTE is far from being there. CPU begin to reach the point were they’re powerfull enough to stop focusing on them, and now the GPU is the real battlefield. And that’s what Nvidia is all about: GPU, and the funniest part is, to this day, they still haven’t played their cards. GPU is a very complicated thing, you can even say it’s the most complicated piece of semi conductor there is today. Drivers stack are also insanely complexe, The knowledge Nvidia have in this area is extremly valuable and can’t be underestimate. Kepler is coming to Tegra 5 next year, nvidia is finally bringing what they’re best at. Let see then how qualcomm compete against this.
True Nvidia have a huge advantage in graphics, as would AMD, along with it’s 64 bit work, in a coming mobile era of 14 nm, 64 bit, with up to 600 AMD GPUs or, 300 Nvidia GPUs per chip next year on mobile devices, 6 GB RAM and graphics RAM. Companies like Samsung, which has too much 14 nm capacity, next year (economies of scale, cost a fortune to develop,) will be licensing the graphics and 64 bit technologies, too bad about the lack of pixels, iPad 2 is rumored to have a retina display. In Ultra Definition Tegra 4 and Snapdragon 800, are the mobile front runners, at the moment.
Nvidia should have made a big splash with Charter top specs and Slick design. This is not what I thought they would venture into
“Mediocre” Really ? Arn’t you a little harsh on the words you use ?
I mean, the SoC is a beast, the screen could very well be okay for a 7 inch (does the ipad mini screen make it mediocre ? It doesn’t seem so..) Build quality seems solid (for exemple the Shield is very well builded). I means you can say the design may not be for everyone taste (far from it I have to admit) but to call the tablet “mediocre” given everything there is to it seems really harsh to me. What with all this Nvidia bashing ?
Sigh, another disappointing screen.
