QUINCY, Massachusetts — A record number of sea turtles have been rescued this season after becoming stunned by cold water and washing ashore on Cape Cod beaches, the New England Aquarium said Wednesday.
Since early last month, more than 700 turtles have received veterinary care at two animal care facilities that participate in the rescue program. The previous record was set in 2014, when 692 live turtles were admitted for care.
The turtles become stranded after they forage along the New England coast during the summer and become trapped in the Cape Cod Bay in the fall, according to the aquarium. They become hypothermic and stop swimming as temperatures drop.
Winds and warming water appear to be factors in the increasing number of stranded turtles, said Bob Prescott, who oversees Mass Audubon’s sea turtle rescue program. Warming waters have allowed turtles to enter Cape Cod Bay in the summer, he said, and passing tropical storms have pushed them closer to shore.
Turtles taken to the aquarium’s hospital are treated for injuries and slowly warmed to their normal temperature. Most recover and are later returned to the wild.
Most turtles stranded in the fall are young Kemp’s ridley turtles, a critically endangered species.

Bayern and Barcelona also continued their impressive runs in their respective groups as both sides concede only a single loss. La liga Champions Athlecio Madrid also grabbed their position in last 16 in the second straight season. Apart from Chelsea, English side journey hadn’t been fruitful as that of others. Five times European Champions Liverpool went forth empty handed and fell to Europa league berths, the 2nd tier of European club football competition finishing third in their group. Though Arsenal and Manchester City progressed, they failed to secure the top spot in their group what may result in the likes of European Giants facing them in last 16. French champions PSG and Italian Series A Champions Juventus also ended their group as runner ups. Though the German giant Borussia Dortmund are unexpectedly struggling in their national league, the 2013 finalists maintained their impressive performance in the champions league and made into the knockout stage as the group winner.

Alongside the griffins and unicorns in medieval bestiaries frequently appears a fascinating but somewhat less notorious hybrid: the ant-lion, a creature with a magisterial feline head and an industrious, formican body. In this presentation, NYPL Digital Curator for the Performing Arts will discuss an analogous hybrid: the scholar-programmer, a beast with the head of a scholar (and likely an advanced degree in a theoretical discipline to prove it) joined with the industrial and practical skills of a computer programmer along with some of the career paths such hybrids might find satisfying.
Doug Reside became Digital Curator for the Performing Arts at New York Public Library in January of 2011 after serving for four and a half years on the directorial staff of the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) at the University of Maryland in College Park. He holds a BS in Computer Science and a BA, MA, and Ph.D. in English Literature. He has been a PI on three earlier startup grants (The Ajax XML Encoder, Music Theatre Online, and the Collaborative Ajax Modeling Platform) and the co-PI with Tanya Clement on the “Off the Tracks” workshop. Additionally, he is the original project director of the NEH Preservation and Access funded Text Image Linking Environment (TILE) which is scheduled for release in the summer of 2011.

Political parties perform an important task in government. They bring people together to achieve control of the government, develop policies favorable to their interests or the groups that support them, and organize and persuade voters to elect their candidates to office.
Keeping this in consideration, how can citizens participate in political parties?
Ways citizens can participate
- looking for information in newspapers, magazines, and reference materials and judging its accuracy.
- voting in local, state, and national elections.
- participating in a political discussion.
- trying to persuade someone to vote a certain way.
- signing a petition.
What are the political parties in the US?
The modern political party system in the U.S. is a two-party system dominated by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. These two parties have won every United States presidential election since 1852 and have controlled the United States Congress to some extent since at least 1856.
How do political parties nominate a candidate for the presidency?
The winner of the party's caucus, or primary, wins the party nomination for that state. Then the delegates meet at their party's national party convention, which is a formal gathering of all party delegates from all states. They formally vote and officially announce the party's nominee for president and vice president.

Ernst & Young ‘gradual increase’ in staff and business
Guardian Business Reporter
Published: Oct 08, 2013
One of the country’s leading accounting firms has seen a gradual increase in its talent pool as it looks to grow its book of business.
Ernst & Young (EY) ranked the world’s most attractive professional services employer and the most attractive employer according to a recent survey conducted by Universum, an international company that specializes in the field of employer branding.
The firm’s managing partner for The Bahamas, Michele Thompson, said this latest accomplishment is a testament to the fact that EY remains committed to recruiting and retaining top talent in the industry.
“We have been constantly adding to our talent pool over the past few years. It’s a great morale boost for our staff and something that we are very proud of. We go through great lengths at Ernst and Young locally and globally to recruit and retain top talent. That has always been one of our primary focuses and goals,” she told Guardian Business.
Currently, EY has 50 employees in its local office. While there has been an increase in those numbers recently, Thompson did admit that the firm suffered a decrease in staffing within the last five years.
“Through our regional practice, [which includes offices in The Bahamas, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands], we have been able to sustain good business, and we continue to look for opportunities where we can grow,” she said.
“We had seen a downsize in the talent pool, but now we are on the gradual incline that’s in sync with our business.”
The study was reportedly based on the preferences of nearly 94,000 business students from the world’s top academic institutions in the 12 largest economies by GDP.
“It is such a great achievement because we have such great competitors. So we are very pleased to be ranked the top professional services provider and the second most attractive firm to be employed with,” Thompson added.
EY is a leader in serving the global financial services marketplace providing integrated assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services to its asset management, banking and capital markets and insurance clients.

Fancy some city exploration whilst munching on turkey and watching age-old films? Animal Crossing Wii due out this Christmas.
The UK arm of the Japanese gaming giant has slipped a note that those desperate for a slice of the Animal Crossing pie for the festive season will get it with the Wii version penned for release sometime in December in Europe.
Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City sees players settling down in a familiar setting: an expansive village in which to make friends, piss off the neighbours with loud music and build up a new home. Those with the DS version can house Wii characters when on the move, and also transfer information back to the console.
Bundled with Wii Speak and supposedly packed to the brim with new city-based features, the whole family can get together and instead of watching the endless repeat of The Snowman can see non-melting strangers trying to break into their houses via Nintendo Wi-Fi connection.
The exact date has yet to be confirmed, though expect store shelves to glitter with Let's Go to the City a week or two before Santa pops down for the annual visit.

When can we eat new crop rice in Japan? Let’s eat shinmai during the best season!
Have you ever heard of shinmai (new crop rice)? Shinmai is rice that has just been harvested. Shinmai is available in supermarkets around autumn, and this is how Japanese people feel the season. By the way, have you ever wondered about this?
Enjoy your new rice when it’s ready to be harvested!
When does the new rice season start?
The timing of the harvest of new rice varies depending on the region, climate, and variety. Rice from each production area will be available in stores at approximately the following times.
Okinawa region: From around June
Kyushu region: From early July
Chugoku and Shikoku regions: Late July to late October
Kansai region: September to October
Kanto region: September to October
Hokuriku region: Late September to
Tohoku region: Late September to
Hokkaido region: From mid-September to mid-September
So if it’s from Okinawa, you can already have new rice in the summer! But most areas harvest in the fall.
How long is it called “new rice”?
There is a clear definition of what is called new rice, but there are actually two types.
This is a law to ensure a stable supply of rice, wheat, etc. in Japan. According to it, new rice is defined as follows
Rice harvested during the year from November 1 of the previous year to October 31 of the following year.
For example, rice harvested in September 2020 is considered new rice until the following year, October 31, 2021, and old rice thereafter.
Food Labeling Law
The Food Labeling Law is a law regarding the labeling of products on store shelves. According to the law, new rice is defined as follows
- Brown rice that is containerized or packaged by December 31 of the year in which the raw material brown rice was produced.
- Polished rice that has been polished, containerized or packaged by December 31 of the year in which the brown rice was produced.
In other words, brown rice is called shinmai if it is packaged by the end of the year (December 31) which it was harvested. For white rice, rice that is milled and packaged by the end of the year (December 31) in which it was harvested is called new rice.
For example, brown rice is new rice if it is harvested in the fall of 2020 and packaged by December 31, 2020. White rice is new rice if it is harvested in the fall of 2020 and milled and packaged by December 31, 2020. Both brown and white rice are not new rice if milled and packaged after January 2021.
More like the Food Labeling Law in general!
[Quiz] When the new year comes, which would you choose, new rice or rice with a new milling date?
According to the JAS Law (Food Labeling Law), rice that is milled and packaged by December 31 is considered new rice as long as it is available in stores in February and March of the following year, while rice that is milled and packaged after January is no longer considered new rice.
Here is the question.
If I buy rice harvested in September 2020 (white rice) in February 2021, which should I choose?
(1) Rice milled and packaged on December 31, 2020
(2) Rice milled and packaged on January 31, 2021
(2) Rice milled and packaged on January 31, 2021.
Since rice is basically harvested once a year, both types of rice are the same. In the case of white rice, the taste of the rice decreases the longer it has been milled, so it is better to choose rice with a newer milling date after the new year.
The best way to enjoy tasty rice is to eat it up as soon as possible after polishing (as a rule of thumb, about one month in summer and two months in winter).
- The earliest new rice harvest is around June in Okinawa
- Most areas harvest around September to October.
- New rice is rice that has been milled and packaged by the end of the harvest year (December 31).
- After the new year, choose rice with a new milling date without being concerned about new rice.
I hope you enjoy Japanese delicious rice!

At Mount Currie, we decided to stay up in the high-lying areas as these had appeared to be more species-rich on our previous visit. On the way up the district road to the top gate we came across a tall, handsome, glossy leafed Berkheya in flower - this was a species which, on our previous visit, had yet to flower and which we thought might be a form of Berkheya binnatifida. However, when we saw it in flower, it was clear this was a different species. It turned out to be Berkheya acanthopoda, endemic to the Eastern Cape and Kwazulu-Natal. Soon after that we came across several Gladiolus oppositiflorus, also flowering in the road reserve.
After scaling the gate we found some Helichrysum callicomum in the path and amongst the rocks were Chaenostoma floribundum. Satyrium neglectum and Satyrium sphaerocarpum were scattered in the grassland.
Amongst the pink Hesperantha baurii were numbers of Kniphofia linearifolia, interspersed with the occasional Kniphofia parviflora, although the latter were mostly already in seed.
We found an unusual looking tree with khaki coloured leaves and on finding another one with fruits we realised it was Kiggelaria africana.
|Kiggelaria africana fruits|
On a slope leading down to a wetland we found the first of many Brownleea parviflora we were to see during our visit to this reserve.
There were many Brunsvigia grandiflora flowering or in bud in the grassland but it was evident that baboons had been making a meal of the fleshy lower parts of the flower stalk as there were several flower heads abandoned in the grass.
We came to a rocky knoll where we sat and had lunch. Surrounding us were dozens of Crassula obovata var. obovata and in a nearby wet patch was another small Crassula, Crassula dependens. Munching on some of these was a very brightly coloured grasshopper.
|Crassula obovata var. obovata|
Amongst the plants growing on the rocks were some clumps of Clematis brachiata, and nearby some yellow-flowered Senecio oxyodontus
Other residents of rocky grassland were Moraea inclinata, Monsonia grandiflora, and Helichrysum adenocarpum. At the edge of a forested section, we found Cephalaria natalensis.
Hiding in the grass were several Zaluzianskya microsiphon.
Turning back we found a few tall stalks of Disa chrysostachya. We were lucky to see a Secretary Bird stalking elegantly across the grass when we neared the gate.
|Late afternoon sunlight on Kniphofia linearifolia|
The next morning Mike kindly took us to an adjacent farm (along very obscure tracks through long grass) and we set off up a rocky slope - apparently the geology of the rocks on these slopes is different to those around Kokstad and Mount Currie. Shortly after setting off up the slope we were treated to the sight of about 30 Cape Vultures soaring eastwards along the thermals rising along the ridge above us.
It did not take us long to start finding flowers, despite the fact that goats regularly cross the fence to graze here - some were watching us from the protection of a huge exposed lava flow. We found Diclis rotundifolia in sandy patches between the rocks and here and there in the grassland was Lantana rugosa, a non-invasive, indigenous member of the Lantana genus.
|The steep slope down which a herd of goats descended head-first at speed|
We forced our way further through tall and rather moribund grass to another rock outcrop where we found a number of tall, shrub-like Senecio linifolius.
Secluded in a rock crack we found Anacampseros rufescens - a species we have previously only seen on sandstone outcrops near the Umzimkulu Gorge. Not far away was a group of Hebenstretia dura, surprisingly still in flower, as at the coast this is one of our early spring flowering species. Hiding secluded on the ground between the tall grass stalks were many Crabbea hirsuta. In a disturbed area we found Polygala serpentaria flowering well, together with Delosperma lineare and Bulbine abyssinica.
By this stage it had become uncomfortably hot so we were glad when Mike arrived as arranged to pick us up. The hillside shows great promise for further exploration, particularly if Mike is able to burn off some of the moribund grasses as he has wanted to do for some time, but conditions have not permitted this. Thanks to Mike and Jeanette for hosting us and making this trip possible.

“Ola has been deep-rooted in India’s mobility landscape, building technology-enabled transportation solutions for millions of users. Our expertise in serving millions of customers through a large fleet of vehicles across 250 plus cities has been instrumental in making ride-hailing a norm in India,” said Arun Srinivas, chief sales and marketing officer, at Ola. “Ola Drive has been built on the same DNA and will play a transformative role in defining India’s car-sharing market in the next decade.”
Ola will introduce the service to users in Bengaluru through pick-up stations located across different residential and commercial hubs. Users can choose to book a car of their choice for as little as two hours by paying a security deposit starting at Rs 2000, which Ola said makes the company’s new venture the most flexible car-sharing service in India. It would offer vehicles such as hatchbacks, SUVs, sedans and luxury cars.
“In the first phase of its roll-out, Ola Drive will be offered as a short-term self-drive car-sharing service as we look to introduce long-term subscription, corporate leasing, and more options in the times to come,” said Srinivas.
Ola conducted research with individuals with different driving experience levels to get a keen understanding of their preferences. The insights helped Ola to procure user-preferred car models, enable high-quality repairs and maintenance structures.
The company said that Ola Drive takes a refreshing look at the current self-driven car rental industry in India, by enabling users to design their own package, controlling everything from the number of kilometres and hours, to fuel inclusion. This makes the service highly customized for users, and the freedom of choice allows for “savings of up to 30 per cent over other providers,” said the company.
All Ola Drive cars across segments will come equipped with Ola’s connected car platform ‘Ola Play’, enabled through a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment device. It would also include GPS, media playback, and Bluetooth connectivity. Users will also have access to the platform’s support and safety features such as a 24/7 helpline, emergency button (which prompts an immediate call from Ola’s dedicated safety response team) and real-time tracking. The service will also include roadside assistance, to ensure a secure and comfortable driving experience, said the company.
The concept of car-sharing is very popular in Europe which has 12 million users and a fleet of over 500,000 cars, though car penetration is at 4 per cent. Closer home, China has more than 40 players in the car-sharing industry with a fleet of 400,000 cars, according to industry experts.
However, the car-sharing market in India has been largely untapped, with the most popular use case being leisure trips. The total fleet size of approximately 10,000 cars cater to a user base comprising millions of people (license holders), a large chunk of which are under the age of 30. The self-drive market potential in India is $1 billion, according to industry experts. They said that the market size has been limited due to lack of category creation, niche-category use-case and sub-optimal product experience.

Parker Millsap first appeared in Columbus nearly five years ago. The son of a Pentecostal minister, his performance of blues, folk, and country originals and covers was something of a lightning rod for the aged conflict between the sacred and profane. With an Elvis Presley appeal, a face that suggested a young Leo DiCaprio, and a bunch of original songs — some of which equivocated about his faith — Millsap roughly and promisingly walked that line.
Fast forward to Tuesday night in Ace of Cups, wherein Millsap retraced those steps — albeit with a couple more albums under his belt — in a spellbinding performance that sold neither side short but found an inspired middle ground.Keep up on what's going down in entertainment in central Ohio: Sign up for our Life in the 614 newsletter
Mid-set, Millsap and his band — which included fiddler Daniel Foulks, bassist Michael Rose, and drummer Andrew Bones — delivered a joyful reading of Sly Stone’s “Everyday People.” Not only did it reflect the empathy in the singer’s faith but it was just plain great rock-and-roll. Millsap is an impressive singer who can range from country to blues and whose falsetto-ending phrases only reinforce the Elvis connection. At his bluesiest, the singer sounded a bit like Humble Pie’s Steve Marriott; At his folkiest, he was Steve Forbert without the rasp.
“Heaven Sent,” an impassioned conversation between a gay man and his preacher father, was a little blunter about Millsap’s liberal reading of Christianity. The song’s dramatic structure was delivered in a falsetto-filled voice that recalled Jeff Buckley.
At his most profane, Millsap performed a couple of blues numbers that were attractively gritty. Early-on he pulled out all the stops for a version of the traditional blues tune “Hesitation Blues” that showcased his blues chops and Foulks’ sympathetic fiddle.
More often, though he sidestepped the religious issues in favor of a mature and inspired set of blues, country, and folk that cut to the bone. His guitar playing dazzled in solos and short fills throughout. Foulks was a fine foil, whether following Millsap’s vocal lines or delivering a few sweet solos. The rhythm section scored with a couple tunes that echoed The Band.
Minneapolis folk, country, and Americana singer-songwriter Jack Klatt opened with a short set that showcased considerable songwriting talent with a delivery seasoned by a history of busking and intimate gigs.


Wireless charging is a technology that helps users to charge their smartphones without connecting via cable but this technology has now evolved to fit inside a smartphone, called “Wireless Reverse Charging”.
By continuing this feature, Huawei has installed it in the Mate 30 series with improved charging capacity and a recent test performed by Chongdiantou reveals the actual difference of charging performance between Huawei Mate 30 (not Pro) and its predecessor Mate 20 Pro.
Note: For this test, both phones are charged at 100% and tested with a wireless charging tester to measure the voltage, current and transition frequency.
On Huawei Mate 30, the output results are as the following:
Voltage – 5.33V
Current – 0.95A
The transmission frequency – 132.2Hz
The total power output – 5.06W
On Huawei Mate 20 Pro, the output results are as the following:
Voltage – 4.09V
Current – 0.72A
The transmission frequency – 112.1Hz
The total power output – 2.9W
As we can see that the difference in the power supply is over 2W, which is sufficient to share power with wearables but how much time it takes to charge another wireless charging enabled smartphone? Let’s take a look.
For this test, Huawei Mate 30 was used to charge iPhone 11 Pro at 0% battery.
After 30 Minutes, Huawei Mate 30 has charged the iPhone 11 Pro consuming 12% of its power remaining 88% and charged iPhone 11 Pro at 9%.
And after 2 hours and 49 minutes of reverse wireless charging, Huawei Mate 30 charges 47% of the iPhone 11 Pro’s battery by spending 80% of its own battery life.
The test cannot be proceeded further due to the required power supply mark over 20% and turns off the power-sharing feature automatically.
So what do you think about this test? let us know in the comment.

Courtesy of our friends at AmaWaterways, enjoy this Lavender Crème Brûlée recipe!
When in France, or wishing you were in France, you can savor créme brúlée, one of the most amazing French desserts. Featuring a smooth, rich, creamy custard under that delightfully brittle, carmelized topping, this delicious dessert has been enjoyed by the French since 1691.
Créme brúlée is usually flavored with vanilla – but to give this classic some Provençal oomph, you can add culinary lavender which is just as sweet to taste as it is to breathe in. Lavender is a strong scent so a little bit goes quite a long way.
1 cup whole milk
6 egg yolks
1 ½ cups sugar
1 tsp. lavender
2 cups crème fraîche
⅔ cup raw sugar
Boil the milk. Remove from heat and add lavender.
Chill for 12 hours.
In a small mixing bowl, add egg yolks and whip them while incorporating the sugar until the mixture is nearly white.
Strain the chilled milk and place in a saucepan under low heat.
Add the crème fraîche slowly while whisking. Let sit for 45 minutes.
Rinse the ramequins with cold water and don’t wipe dry.
Pour the cream into the ramequins and put them into a water bath with water to mid-height.
Place in a 350°F oven for 20 minutes.
To serve sprinkle raw sugar on top of the crèmes and caramelize using a kitchen torch (or broil for 5 minutes).
Flavor Pairings with Lavender
Lavender which is sweet and fragrant, has been cultivated for centuries for its many uses, such as beauty, essential oils, therapeutic gifts but of course for culinary uses. Lavender’s perfume complements a variety of sweet as well as savory tastes. Pair it with strawberries, blueberries, pears, lemon, orange, honey, sage, rosemary, oregano, thyme, black pepper, lemon juice, lemon zest and chocolate for delicious flavor combinations.
Use some lavender from your garden or you can purchase in the store, just make sure you are choosing culinary lavender because not all forms of the flower are edible.

When you see multimillionaires, with their yachts and luxury houses, you probably assume that they are supremely happy. However, you might be surprised to hear that this is not necessarily the case. In 2006, Princeton University psychologist, economist and author Daniel Kahneman and a team of researchers conducted a study entitled “Would You Be Happier If You Were Richer? A Focusing Illusion.” Kahneman and his co-authors found that although people with high incomes are more likely than others to say they’re generally happy with their lives, this difference virtually disappears when they make a moment-to-moment assessment of how happy they really are.
The study was published in Science magazine. Their findings described a phenomenon known as the “focusing illusion,” which misleads people into believing that more money can — or does — make them happier. The more narrowly individuals focus on a particular aspect of their lives, the greater its apparent influence.
The Power Paradox: Does Absolute Power Corrupt Absolutely?
“When people consider the impact of any single factor on their wellbeing — not only income — they are prone to exaggerate its importance,” the researchers explain. So, when survey respondents are asked, for example, whether wealthier people are happier than those less well off, they tend to focus on financial status as the root of happiness.
In reality, according to the study, higher income does little to improve life satisfaction and may even cause more anxiety and stress. When you compare things like cars, careers, holiday destinations, you tend to focus on one aspect particular closely, neglecting the hundred other factors in your life. You assign this one inordinate significance because of the focusing illusion.
In his book, “The Art of the Good Life: Clear Thinking for Business and a Better Life,” Rolf Dobelli shares details about another study that Kahneman carried out with psychologists Norbert Schwartz and Jing Xu. They asked motorists how much pleasure they got from their car? Their conclusion: When somebody sinks a load of money into a car, at least they get a good return on their investment in the form of joy. But here is the really interesting point. They then asked this question: How happy were you during your last car trip? They then compared the motorists’ answers with the values of their cars. The outcome — absolutely no correlation. Whether respondents were driving a top-end luxury car or a second-hand banger, there was no correlation between the car they were driving to how happy they were feeling. Question one showed a definite correlation between the perceived pleasure it gave its owner and the monetary value of the car. But the second question saw no correlation at all. A luxury car didn’t make the drivers any happier.
That is the effect of the focusing illusion: A car makes you happy when you are thinking about it but not when you are driving it. Thinking about your purchase of the car in a forced way makes you happy, but the more you use it, this fades to the back of your mind, and that minimizes the effect on your happiness. You can apply this to any other material purchases.
How can you spend your time doing things that would definitely enrich and benefit your life from these sources when your thoughts are consumed by purchasing material goods? You are conned into the illusion that these will make you happy, but, actually, all the evidence shows they do not.
Everyone overestimates the impact of material purchases on their well-being and underestimates the impact of meaning in your life through rewarding experiences. The evidence points to these experiences can increase your well-being significantly.

Causes Of Severe Dizziness During Pregnancy
Vertigo, likewise referred to as dizziness, is a loved one term to the a lot more acquainted vertigo, additionally called nausea or vomiting. A sensation that your entire body is dizzy as well as relocating a strange method. The lightheadedness begins unexpectedly, without advising and is generally for brief periods of time. Vertigo, like wooziness, is extremely frightening and also is the main sign of various conditions that influence the mind, from hypertension to fainting. Causes Of Severe Dizziness During Pregnancy
Benign positional vertigo (BPV) is probably the most usual cause of vertigo, the sensation that the inside of your head or that your entire body is revolving oddly. Usually this is accompanied by light-headedness, queasiness, vomiting, fainting, and a sensation of detachment from your surroundings. BPV commonly triggers only brief episodes of dizziness, generally no greater than 10 mins. It is frequently triggered by muscle spasms or by a lack of blood circulation to the nerves in the inner ear. Nonetheless, some people have no symptoms in any way. Causes Of Severe Dizziness During Pregnancy
Causes Of Severe Dizziness During Pregnancy
The majority of situations of wooziness are triggered by several of the problems that influence the mind as well as hinder its capability to work correctly. If you are experiencing signs that you think are vertigo, your physician will probably suggest antihistamines or tricyclic antidepressants as therapies for these problems. Antihistamines lower the activity of the chemicals in the body that create the reaction that triggers vertigo. Tricyclic antidepressants are used to treat allergies, stress and anxiety, as well as various other comparable conditions. Causes Of Severe Dizziness During Pregnancy
Certain medicines might also trigger vertigo. For instance, doxycycline can decrease the strength of your muscular tissues that support your balance. This lowers the quantity of fluid in your brain that causes your lightheadedness. Other medications that may include doxycycline are Prednisone, Acetylcholine, Phenytoin, as well as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
Vertigo that does not enhance with over the counter therapy can be treated by your physician. These treatments include prescription medications, surgical treatment, as well as antihistamines. If your dizziness is serious, your medical professional might suggest you to have a dedicated echocardiography system or VASER (vesicular stentibular shutoff excitement) procedure. This procedure makes use of a laser to open up the tightened capillary that trigger the wooziness. The laser may additionally minimize the quantity of liquid accumulation in your brain that creates wooziness.
Some individuals have issues with wooziness without treatment. In these situations, it is important to establish why you experience the signs and symptoms. Your doctor may need to execute tests such as an MRI or CT check to identify the underlying problem. He might additionally carry out some straightforward laboratory examinations in order to dismiss or verify the diagnosis.
A few of the reasons that may lead to wooziness consist of a condition called sensorineural hearing loss. This condition occurs when there is damages to the internal ear. This can be triggered by an ear infection, an injury, or a negative effects of certain medications. Other reasons can be high fevers, ear infection, meniere’s disease, Meniere’s syndrome, or vestibular nerve cells.
If you are experiencing lightheadedness, you need to make note of where your lightheadedness is influencing your equilibrium. You ought to additionally understand if the modifications in equilibrium are taking place for a long period of time or if they are just occurring in a brief period of time. This will certainly help your physician to figure out the cause of vertigo as well as additionally the correct therapy. If you believe that your dizziness results from a lack of balance, you should consult your doctor. Your healthcare professional will certainly be able to give you with valuable information regarding vertigo and just how you can control the signs.
In order to identify the exact cause of vertigo, your healthcare professional will more than likely have you go through a comprehensive assessment to rule out any type of underlying physical reasons. One of one of the most common sources of lightheadedness is reduced high blood pressure or hypertension. If you have been diagnosed with either of these conditions, you ought to follow your physician’s orders as well as stay with your routine medicine. By lowering your blood pressure, your dizziness could be eliminated. Your problem may need treatment to lower your blood pressure normally.
One more usual source of vertigo is experiencing hearing loss. As we age, our hearing ends up being less effective, which may result to vertigo. If you have been experiencing dizziness with no various other symptoms, it might be challenging to pinpoint the problem. Nevertheless, as quickly as you start experiencing any type of sort of audio or noise in your ear, you should quickly call your medical professional.
Some symptoms that might suggest the presence of a vestibular migraine headache include: nausea or vomiting, vomiting, impaired thinking, and also fainting. Because these signs and symptoms can be integrated, your doctor may perform tests to verify the presence of vertigo. If your signs and symptoms correspond, your medical professional may carry out added examinations such as catheterizations, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as computerized tomography (CT) scan.

Washtenaw Avenue, the 4.5-mile road that stretches through Ann Arbor, is known by most students for its fast traffic, proximity to fraternity houses and as a straight-shot route to Whole Foods Market.
More like this
However, the street has been a thorn in the city’s side for years due to its precarious crossings and transit options, as well as inadequate sidewalks. After four years studying the roadway, officials in Ann Arbor and surrounding communities have planned a number of improvements to make the road safer and more accessible.
Nathan Voght — the project manager for ReImagine Washtenaw, a regional study to evaluate the road’s condition — said his first goal has been to look for ways to improve safety.
“(Ann Arbor officials) wanted to undertake a process of public engagement to try to determine how the corridor could be transformed into one that’s more attractive, that’s safer, that’s something that will thrive and encourage economic development and really be a corridor that will meet its potential,” Voght said.
Voght said pedestrian transit developments such as foot and bike paths are also a focus of the study, adding that the community has been frustrated that these ideas have been ignored.
“(In the past) there’s been very little planning and coordination to make sure that improvements that are made really look at the quality of life along the corridor and access to the corridor and other ways of transportation to get around, specifically bikers, etc.,” Voght said. “This has been something we are now looking into.”
Some projects have already been completed in the area between Pittsfield and Ypsilanti Township, and others in Ann Arbor are in the planning or construction phases, Voght said.
In September, officials broke ground for the construction of Arbor Hills Crossing, a 90,000 square-foot retail and professional office space located across from Whole Foods Market, which is located at 3135 Washtenaw Ave.
The development will introduce safe transit features like new, wider sidewalks, a new Ann Arbor Transportation Authority bus stop, a traffic signal and pedestrian crossing at Platt Road.
Voght said while the study is constantly developing projects on the corridor, several improvements to the road are still years from completion. He said there are also plans to redesign paths between building and the road so that they are more accessible for pedestrians.
Former Ann Arbor City Councilmember Tony Derezinski, who lives off of Washtenaw Avenue, has been a proponent of work on the road before the formation of the initiative, which launched shortly after he was elected to the Council four years ago. He said, living near the road, he always felt it was something that needed improvement.
“I’ve watched it get busier and busier and more congested and I felt very strongly that this was an urban issue that needed to be addressed,” Derezinski said. “When I got elected to City Council it was one of the first things which I indicated to the mayor I wanted to work on and some people were already getting together to try to share information.”
Derezinski said so far the group has dealt with the road’s problems well, addressing them in the “spirit of cooperation” with nearby communities.
“It was time we really took a look at it not just in the view of Ann Arbor, but also in collaboration with all the communities that this avenue services,” Derezinski said.
Several nearby communities have partnered with Ann Arbor in the effort, including Pittsfield Township, Ypsilanti and Ypsilanti Township. Local organizations and governments — including the AATA, Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Regional Chamber of Commerce, Michigan Department of Transportation, Washtenaw Area Transportation Study and Washtenaw County — have also been participating parties.
Derezinski said one project currently in development would ease non-motorized transportation on the road.

State water district law needs to be updated to fairly represent voters
- The convoluted nature of water laws and rules throughout our state means that any proposed legislation to improve how this vital resource is governed must be carefully outlined.
- People paying assessments to an irrigation district or owning land included to receive water should be the only individuals eligible to run for board positions or vote in an irrigation district election.
- State law should be amended to ensure irrigation district elections reflect the will of those who will be most affected by the board of directors.
Irrigation districts in Washington state provide water to customers throughout the state. In some cases, however, they also provide drinking water and electrical services in various communities where urbanization came well after the development of the water delivery infrastructure. In still other areas, the creation of the local irrigation district was refined over the years as irrigation projects expanded and became more specific with ever-more detailed requirements directing where irrigation water could be distributed.
There are 101 irrigation districts in Washington, with 37 of them belonging to the Washington State Water Resources Association.1 Only 28 of those 37 irrigation districts report collecting more than $1 million in revenue, but all the irrigation districts combined collected $202.7 million in fees in 2018.
The largest 17 districts in the state are located in Eastern Washington and serve a total of nearly one million acres of irrigated land. Irrigation districts certainly serve farmers and ranchers, but they are equally responsible for helping to maintain healthy public spaces, park landscapes, and backyard gardens for a wide range of our state’s residents.
Irrigation districts are funded almost entirely by the fees paid by their water-users and, as such, they are governed by elected boards of directors, much like towns and cities throughout the state. The governance of irrigation districts is determined largely by their size. The number of acres within their potential boundary determining the rules of their election system and the composition of their boards of directors.

GABAA Receptors: Involvement in the Formation of Respiratory Reactions to Hypoxic Stimulation under Conditions of Mitochondrial Dysfunction
- 23 Downloads
In experiments on Wistar rats, the role of the state of GABAA receptors in the formation of respiratory responses to hypoxic loading was studied under conditions of the norm and experimental mitochondrial dysfunction; the latter was induced by single systemic injections of 3 mg/kg rotenone, a nonselective blocker of complex I in the respiratory chain of the mitochondria. Volume-time parameters of respiration were characterized according to the parameters of respiratory EMG discharges of the diaphragmatic muscle (amplitude, frequency, and integral intensity). Changes in EMG activity of the diaphragm induced by inhalation of a hypoxic gas mixture (12% О2 + 88% N2) were estimated prior to and after injections of the blocker of GABAA and GABAB receptors bicuculline (bicuculline methiodide, 1.0 mg/kg) in control rats and animals with mitochondrial dysfunction. The development of mitochondrial dysfunction was accompanied by suppression of the respiratory reaction to hypoxic loading, which was manifested in a dramatic decrease in the frequency and integral intensity of EMG discharges of the diaphragmatic muscle. These data can be considered an indication of the considerable involvement of GABAA receptors localized at the postsynaptic membranes of peripheral chemoreceptors in the formation of respiratory response to hypoxic stimulation (including the stage of depression of ventilation); this was observed in both control rats and animals with mitochondrial dysfunction. The involvement of a GABA-ergic link in the formation of respiratory activity related to hypoxic stimulation acquires special significance under conditions of experimental mitochondrial dysfunction leading to occlusion of afferent impulsation coming from peripheral chemoreceptors.

[Amabel] went straight to the Big Wardrobe and turned its glass handle. ‘I expect it’s only shelves and people’s best hats,’ she said. Of course it wasn’t hats. It was, most amazingly, a crystal cave, very oddly shaped like a railway station. It seemed to be lighted by stars…E Nesbit, ‘The Aunt and Amabel’
Having previously reviewed The Magician’s Nephew (1955) – but in advance of a scheduled review of E Nesbit’s The Story of the Amulet (1906) – I now want to discuss C S Lewis’s indebtedness, both generally and specifically, to his predecessor for not only details but also his general approach to the Chronicles of Narnia.
Not the least of his indebtedness is to Nesbit’s story ‘The Aunt and Amabel’ in The Magic World, in which a well-meaning little girl goes through a wardrobe to a place called Whereyouwantogoto and meets The People Who Understand – does this not sound a teensy bit familiar? I also want to enlarge a bit on aspects of the themes which Lewis introduces to The Magician’s Nephew that weren’t borrowed from Nesbit but yet which mattered enough for him to include in the novel. (When I say “a bit” it appears I mean “quite a lot”. Sorry about that.)
And here, as an aside, I shall just mention in passing other titles that play on aspects of Nesbit’s The Story of the Amulet, namely Diana Wynne Jones’s The Homeward Bounders (1981) which heads in a very different direction from that which Lewis took, and Edward Eager’s Half Magic (1954) which while very much sharing Nesbit’s sympathy for the child also involves some North American children discovering a mysterious talisman not unlike the amulet.Continue reading “Jack and Daisy: #Narniathon21”

The day we finally get to see Hunter Greene on a big league mound in a Cincinnati Reds uniform is inching ever closer. Of course, today’s administrative move to add him to the team’s 40-man roster doesn’t really change that at all, but it’s still a fun procedural move of note.
The Reds did add Greene to their 40-man roster today, by the way, at the deadline to protect players from being exposed to selection in the upcoming Rule 5 Draft. The team announced said move on Twitter, noting the additions of OF Allan Cerda alongside pitchers Daniel Duarte, Alexis Diaz, and James Marinan.
Greene was finally eligible to be picked in the upcoming Rule 5 Draft since he’d been in the minor leagues for the requisite five seasons since being selected out of high school 2nd overall in the 2017 MLB Draft. He’s endured a fairly rocky ride since then, of course, with an elbow injury, subsequent Tommy John surgery, and a pandemic-postponed 2020 minor league season all throwing obstacles in his way up the ladder. Still, he re-emerged in 2021 looking every bit the talent that he was prior to the injury, firing 104 mph fastballs and knee-bucklers a-plenty as he reached AAA Louisville.
All told, he 106.1 IP between AAA Louisville and AA Chattanooga, striking out 139 opposing batters (11.8 K/9) in the process. He posted a 3.30 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, and his dizzying talent saw him rocket all the way up to #3 overall in Keith Law’s mid-season Top 50 overall MLB prospects.
In Duarte and Diaz, the Reds add a pair of high-K relief arms, though both are already 25 years old and yet to reach the highest level of the minors. Duarte has spent time in the Royals and Rangers organization, while Diaz has been with the Reds since being selected in the 12th round of the 2015 MLB Draft out of high school in Puerto Rico. Marinan was origially a Dodgers prospect before coming to the Reds in the famous Dylan Floro deal, and still projects as a potential back of the rotation arm.
Cerda joined Greene in MLB Pipeline’s latest rankings of the Top 30 prospects in the Reds system, landing at #17. Still just 21 years old, he slugged an impressive .523 with 17 dingers between Daytona and Dayton last year, all as an OF prospect plenty capable of manning CF. He is, as we say, one to definitely keep an eye on going forward.
The Reds roster is now full at 40, meaning there won’t be any last-minute additions from outside the organization today as all 30 MLB teams scramble to protect as many prospects as possible.

Much controversy has been going around the gaming world regarding Paladins. For the gamers who haven’t heard of Paladins, most people call it an ‘Overwatch Clone’, or an ‘Overwatch rip-off’.

Walk Route Description
Click image to visit gallery of 6 images.
Gowbarrow Fell is less than 1600 feet in height but is very popular with walkers providing an excellent objective for a Lake District walk. Firstly, the views, especially over the head of Ullswater, are excellent. Secondly, it is bounded on the west by the tourist magnets of Aira Beck and Aira Force. Many tourists having viewed the force are tempted to walk at least part of the fell and the section of this route from Green Hill to Aira Force, sees hundreds of visitors a day in the summer holidays. The route described here, is ideal for a summer evening or a half day at any time of the year. It would also be suitable for a party where some of the members did not walk and wanted to explore the force whilst the rest stretched their legs.
Start at the small car park and quarry (GR NY396211) a quarter of a mile south of Dockray on the A5091 as it drops towards Ullswater. Parking here avoids the crowds but the Aira Force carpark could be used.
Leave the car park by a gate and head east down the slope towards the wooded valley of Aira Beck. This is reached after 400 yards at a famous feature known as the "Strid" - Cumbrian dialect meaning stride. This is a narrowing of the flow of the beck between rocks only a yard wide at times of light water flow. (GR400212) Sounds easy, but because of the very slippery rocks it takes a high degree of confidence to stride across. For those who wish to make the move there is no doubt that a pair of walking poles will make it both safer and more inviting. Those who can't pluck up the courage should head down the beck past waterfalls until a wooden footbridge is reached after about 200 yards. Cross the bridge and walk back up the beck past the "Strid" for a further hundred yards or so. The path then leaves the beck and the woodland behind and heads north east over open moor with rocky outcrops. On the moor the path is often not clear but the going is easy and in clear weather it is simply a question of climbing to the top of a few outcrops to sight the summit with its trig point (GR407218) and views of Ullswater, Sandwick Bay and Hallin Fell.
Leave the summit heading south east for 400 yards to pick up a footpath marked on OS maps. Turn right on to this footpath and follow it south west for a further 400 yards before bearing off to the right and heading due west to the viewpoint of Green Hill (GR410207 ). From Green Hill a well worn path descends to the west, past Bernard Pike, with superb views of the head of Ullswater which have graced a thousand calendars and post cards. The path leads back to Aira Beck and crosses it by a stone footbridge at Aira Force. Walk back up the left (west) bank of the beck to reach the Strid and the short path uphill to the carpark.

Keeping up with our NFL Training Camp Tour bringing you some of the best football conversations around the league, we were able to sit down with Derwin James of the LA Chargers as he prepared to become the highest paid player at his position in NFL history.
With several safeties around the league receiving big contracts of late, Derwin wasn’t worried where he would fall in the pack and always remained confident that his on the field play would speak for itself when it came time for numbers. Putting his trust in agent David Mulugheta, the Chargers Safety stayed out of the negotiations and conversations between his team and representative knowing that he was in a good situation. Despite not signing a new deal before training Camp, Derwin showed up to support his team and partake in team activities, just didn’t participate in practice.
Ignoring the noise that he is injury prone and hasn’t done enough to prove his consistent skill level, Derwin says it comes with territories and doesn’t allow others opinions to affect how he approaches the game or his relationship with his organization, knowing fully that when he is on the field and playing- he believes he is the best safety in the NFL. Fred related to that notion as he dealt with some of that affecting his career and contracts while he played too.
With full confidence in his quarterback Justin Herbert at the helm, Derwin believes the Chargers are not only the best team in the AFC West but a Super Bowl contender. “The more we get the ball to #10, we are going to win way more than we will lose”. The Safety admits that it would be a letdown to get anywhere less than the big dance in February because he knows the talent on his team and what they are capable of this season,
In a surprising response to Ryan’s match up questions, Derwin says that Hunter Renfro is a guy they watch and believe is one of the better on offense that they face. Channing asks how he has avoided the pitfalls of being a star first in college and now in the NFL and what are some of the choices he made to rise above those situations that often derail young careers. Of course, no conversation is complete without Channing being Channing as he shares his thoughts on guys who use poor excuses of becoming fathers unexpectedly, and as usual it’s a must listen!
Growing up in Florida, Derwin talks about how he got his work ethic from his parents and watched his mom work out constantly as they were growing up so he adapted and did the same. As a father of his own little girl now, Derwin understands how this contract is not only life changing for him and his family but generational change too.

In an attempt to fill my excess time between cooking and cleaning in this new quarantine realm, I decided to give podcasts a try (I have always been a late bloomer; in fact, I still haven’t seen Tiger King). After a month of listening to different podcasts, I narrowed down a list for your convenience. Some of the podcasts below have informed me about the COVID-19 crisis without putting me in a depressive state, and some simply helped me put a smile on. They are ranked and reviewed below.
Gentle Reminder: I am also looking forward to your podcast suggestions in the comments section!
Baumbach’s Marriage Story had the film festival audiences compelled before it dropped in the movie theatres and Netflix. The response of the general audience has been equally positive, Baumbach’s diligently written screenplay and picture as a whole are expected to score a number of Oscars, along with Johansson (as Nicole) and Driver’s (as Charlie) performances.
The story is about a talented couple who decides to go through a divorce. How does divorce make such compelling screenplay? It seems to happen instantly when the audience realizes that Charlie wants to continue living in New York for his theatre company, and Nicole desires to relaunch her once-alive Hollywood career in Los Angeles. The film is about existing together as a couple and having the freedom to occupy individual spaces. It is about sharing a living and having a special space that is your own.
As the theme settles into the film heavily when Nicole moves to Los Angeles with their son, Baumbach builds his climax on this new life by channeling how this move affects Charlie. The couple initially to agree to go through a divorce without lawyers, in the hopes that they will remain friends. However, the affair of Charlie likely changes the direction of the events; as a result, lawyers are involved and things get nasty. Initially, the blocks are meant to sit in an unusual way, representing a happy divorce. As the events shift, the audience sees the blocks fitting just right. In a particular scene, Charlie tells Nicole he wishes she was dead, reflecting both love and hate at the same time and revealing the beautiful toxicity of the relationship as Nicole hugs him.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley tells reporters she hopes 2016 presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz can win the Republican nomination.
“My hope and my prayer is that Senator Cruz can come through this and that he can push through and really get to where he needs to go because we do want a strong leader, we do want somebody that’s conservative, we do want somebody that’s action minded,” Haley told reporters in a press conference posted by The State newspaper.
She called former candidate Marco Rubio an “amazing public servant” who “tapped into so much of what people want in terms of the American Dream” She said however that “It obviously wasn’t his time.” Haley had endorsed Rubio ahead of her state’s primary contest. Rubio effectively tied Sen. Ted Cruz for second in South Carolina with Donald Trump taking first.
Asked if she will formally endorse, Haley responded that she didn’t think an official endorsement was really necessary.
When asked if she would support Donald Trump should he win the nomination, Haley said that from the beginning she said she would support the nominee and that’s what she will continue to say. “Ask me when the time comes again, but as of now I mean I strongly believe I’ll support the Republican nominee.”
Haley also refused to call for Ohio Gov. John Kasich to leave the race.
Rubio returned to the work on the Hill on Thursday declining to make an endorsement of any remaining candidates. The Florida senator left the race after a crushing loss in his home state to Trump.

For a truly transformative revolution to take place a parallel, alternative society must be created that is robust enough for the people to live their entire lives within it from cradle to grave.
People would be born in this new society's hospitals, be educated within its schools, work within its institutions, and be buried in its grounds, all the while drawing entertainment, friendship, and meaning from those around them. Such institutions must go beyond simple charity, beyond providing people things, and instead be a means through which people are able to provide for themselves in a manner that directly challenges the prevailing order while not replicating its neuroses. Any successful revolution will co-opt the functions of the society it opposes because society, essentially, is these functions.
Secession Versus Mosaic
There are two ways that this can be accomplished. One is a secessionist model, the way of communes and collectives. Under this model, the community would generate everything it needs by itself, being a self-sustaining closed loop society that can simply separate from the dominant order with little to no ill-effects. While such things are wonderful experiments in sustainability and community living, their isolation, both geographic and social, makes them poor tools for mass revolution. While they may well achieve the cradle to grave totality that a parallel system needs and, within its limited sphere, create and sustain a new model for the way things are done, their isolation means that they cannot effectively engage with society as a whole, because it is that much more difficult to interact with them in a meaningful way. This reduces them, at best, to sociological museum pieces that can be observed and commented on, but never really experienced on the
