Extreme heat impacts everything it touches — the body, infrastructure, plant life — and even things it doesn’t. It’s hard to ignore the physical sensations of discomfort and sweat on a hot day, but high temperatures can have a negative effect on mental health, too. Given the record-breaking heat bearing down on the US, Europe, China, and Iran, millions of people may be feeling a change in their mood.
While studying heat waves and mortality in India as a Fulbright fellow, Amruta Nori-Sarma, now an assistant professor in the department of environmental health at the Boston University School of Public Health, realized how much science didn’t understand about the health impacts of extreme heat. Although she was specifically looking to identify heat-related deaths, Nori-Sarma was interested in the health issues that might lead to mortality during extreme heat events. “We know a lot about the physical health impacts of extreme heat,” she says, “but what about the mental health impacts?”
In 2022, Nori-Sarma and her colleagues published a study examining the association between heat and mental health-related emergency room visits among US adults. During the hottest days of the summer, more people went to the emergency room for mental health conditions like substance use disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, stress disorders, other behavioral disorders, and more.
How can people care for their mental health on an ever-warming planet? There are few answers, but Nori-Sarma hopes further research will help illuminate who is most vulnerable to heat-related mental distress and how mental health clinicians can best care for patients when it’s hot.
This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
Could you explain the results of your emergency room visit study?
We used a database of commercial health insurance claims across the US to look at adults who were visiting the emergency department between 2010 and 2019 during the summers. The effort was to try and get at this question: What are the different types of mental health outcomes that people experienced because of extreme heat exposure? So in that study, we were comparing the four or five hottest days of each summer to the coolest days of the summer. We saw elevated rates of emergency department visits very broadly across all mental health outcomes. But specifically, we did see elevated rates of emergency department visits for a variety of specific outcomes, including things like substance use disorders, mood [and] anxiety disorders, stress disorders, schizophrenia, self-harm, as well as childhood-onset personality and behavioral disorders.
We saw increased rates of emergency department visits pretty uniformly between men and women, and also pretty uniformly across age groups, which was really interesting. So even younger adults that we might think would be more healthy in the face of these extreme weather events experience greater need for emergency care for mental health issues during heat. One of the other things that I thought was really interesting in this study is that we actually saw higher rates of emergency department visits during summertime heat periods in the northern parts of the US compared to the southern parts of the US, which is kind of counterintuitive, because it’s hotter in the southern US. What that speaks to is maybe there are adaptive measures that are already put in place for communities in the southern US that experience hotter summers — things like air conditioning in homes, for example.
What is going on to cause these mental health issues?
In this current study, we weren’t able to assess at an individual level because all we have is the insurance claims data. We are not able to dig more deeply into the biological mechanisms. But we have a couple of theories.
One that I think is probably the most prevalent is the way that extreme heat disrupts sleep. When it’s hot outside, it’s more difficult to sleep, you’re more uncomfortable. If you’re living in a place where you don’t have access to air conditioning, that might further disrupt your sleep. The reason why I think this is plausible is because all of these different health outcomes that I mentioned earlier are so different from each other. There’s not a strong biological pathway that leads to all of these different outcomes. Substance use disorder is very different from mood anxiety disorders is very different from schizophrenia. The fact that we see similar increases in the rates of emergency department visits for all of these different health endpoints indicates to me that heat is an external stressor that’s somehow exacerbating people’s existing symptoms.
Does heat impact our everyday mood, or does it seem to have the greatest effect on people who already have some of these conditions, like anxiety or schizophrenia?
That’s a good question and another one that’s really difficult to answer with the data that we have, because these are emergency department visits, these are some of the most extreme presentations that people will have in terms of their outcomes. But I think it’s entirely likely that heat is impacting your day-to-day mood. If you have extreme heat, it makes it more difficult to cope with other stressors. If we can catch people when they’re just irritated or anxious, then we might be able to prevent, down the line, an extreme health care need.
What should individuals keep in mind as they care for their mental health in this time of unprecedented heat?
One of the things that’s really important is feeling like you’re prepared in case an extreme heat period happens — so knowing what resources are available to you. Cities, like Boston, have cooling centers, in case you’re caught in a location where there’s not good cooling during an extreme heat period. Not spending a lot of time outdoors in the sun or, if we have to, making sure we’re hydrated.
The other thing that I think is really important is relying on our social networks. It’s about checking in with ourselves, but also checking in on your friends and family, checking in on your neighbors, making sure that the people around you know what resources are available and are being taken care of during periods of extreme heat.
You mentioned that gender and age didn’t impact the rate of emergency room visits in your study. But are there any other factors that might make somebody more vulnerable for heat-related mental distress?
Yes. The study that we conducted with this dataset has led to a lot of additional questions that we can answer, but we only have access to commercial insurance beneficiaries. What about people who are on public insurance? Or what about people who don’t have health insurance? How are those folks coping with extreme heat? This is really important. This is a next step for our research. This is one of the most vulnerable populations: people who are of low socio-economic means who may be leveraging emergency departments as a front line for their health care needs, because that’s the best access to care that they have.
Other than that, diving more deeply into people who are receiving different forms of treatment for their ongoing mental health conditions and how that might be impacting both their experience of extreme heat and also their mental health conditions. That’s another really important, vulnerable population that we need to focus on. There’s medications that affect our body’s ability to thermoregulate. Anti-schizophrenia medications are ones that come to mind. People who have schizophrenia and who are taking medication for it might have a reduced ability for their own body to thermoregulate. That’s why sometimes you see people in extreme heat who are wearing layers and layers of jackets and clothing. It’s because their body has lost the ability to thermoregulate due to the medication usage.
How does summer seasonal affective disorder (SAD) differ from winter SAD?
I’m not as familiar with wintertime seasonal affective disorder. My understanding of SAD during the winter is that it’s very much correlated with the number of daylight hours that we have and the body’s ability to hormonally regulate and cope with reduced periods of daylight. I think that seasonal affective disorder in the summer is more correlated with the overwhelming nature of the heat exposure. Even if people are able to be out in the daylight for longer periods during the summer, the fact that it seems more difficult to do that if it’s extremely hot outside and you’re limited to an air-conditioned space, I think that’s the mechanism for summertime disorders.
Is there anything you find surprising or misunderstood about heat and how it affects our mental health?
A thing that people don’t tend to think about as much is that a lot of people right now, and especially a lot of young people, are already facing additional levels of anxiety and stress around climate change. Having that baseline level of anxiety already elevated because you’re anticipating future events is also a problem. It might limit our ability to cope as these events are occurring. It might reduce our resilience in the face of future summertime extremes. One of the things that I’m really interested in is what are the ways in which this anticipation of ongoing climate change is also impacting people’s need for emergency care or other types of health care.
What other questions do you want to answer in your research?
We’re working on the question of who are the most vulnerable in society and trying to see what resources we have to understand the impact of extreme heat exposures on people who experience homelessness or housing insecurity, people who don’t have access to health insurance, people who are repeat visitors for psychiatric emergency services. We’re doing that on a smaller scale in the greater Boston area.
The other thing that I think is a really important factor is what role do clinicians play in keeping their patients safe. Are clinicians aware of the elevated need for emergency care during extreme heat waves? What can we do to support clinicians so that they’re understanding the impact that climate and extreme heat are having on their patients? We’re starting by talking with the clinicians. The translation of our results would be seeing more patients in the emergency department when it’s hot. Do physicians experience that? And if they do, what are the things that they are noticing about their patients when they’re coming in for emergency department visits? We can get their perspective on what are the manifestations of these different mental health outcomes during extreme heat. When do we see them? And how can we provide better services for people in advance?

On December 2nd residents of the Women’s care Cottage received letters that they are losing their shelter housing. I know this because I spent the day talking to these women about what to do next. I did not see the information on their web site.http://www.womenscarecottage.org/.
If you are receiving CalWORKs and have one of these letters:
1. Call your eligibility worker and go into the DPSS office with the letter in your hand.
2. Tell your Eligibility Worker that you are about to be homeless (again for many ladies)
3. Ask to be assessed for a Homeless Case Manager
4. Sign up for Section 8
5. Get the pamphlets and information on the CalWORKS Homeless services
6. Talk to your GAIN worker about the TSE program and a Vocational Assessment. If the barrier between you and permanent housing is money, work with your GAIN worker to find employment.
7. If you are not receiving Domestic Violence or Mental Health therapy – and are not interrested in these therapies – sign the waiver of services with your GAIN worker

Rita Parmar: The Make-up Doctor - colours and foundation
Full on make-up – what’s the deal? You keep seeing these images of girls with fabulous blown out make-up.
The colours are really intense, the face appears very sculpted and it looks amazing on camera.
In ‘real life’ though, this is more than just full on, in ‘real life’ it would appear so much fuller and you may not feel comfortable to wear this kind of look as it may not feel like you.
So how can you do something that looks full, where the face looks sculpted and colours really show up without feeling like you are wearing special effects make-up?
Layers create coverage – if you want your foundation to give you better coverage and appear fuller, layering is key.
Adding light layers on top of one another will appear much more natural than heavy thick foundation in one thick layer.
This will give you the smooth sculpted finish you are looking for and still feel comfortable.
Colours create contrast – if you want to show off your eye shadow colour or even the sculpting of your face then a blank canvas is a great start.
Colours are more visible on a light background rather than a dark one so be sure to lighten everywhere your eye shadow will be added.
With eyes, to show the colours off, try to choose two contrasting colours so that it doesn’t just merge into one shade.
With the face, to enhance features so they appear sculpted use three shades. The lightest for concealer, middle colour for foundation and the darkest colour for bronzer.
If these colours are two shades apart it allows for the concealer to brighten areas, the foundation to even skin and the bronzer to shade the face.
This contrast of colours will be far more effective than by using all similar shades.
With all the above in mind you need to think of your face as a picture in a colouring book to get detail around the eyes or face, where the colour/ product goes is key.
If you use a tool that is too big for the area like a pen that had a wide nib in the colouring book it will bleed out of the lines and you won’t get the detail you were looking for.
The best way to avoid this common problem is to use tools that are narrow or small enough and start very small/ narrow and then blend over a wider area.

Six streets and how Mumbai became the city of dreams
At Ballard Estate, a walk down six lanes reveals stories of a time Mumbai became the city of dreamsmumbai Updated: Aug 26, 2016 15:16 IST
What do Goa, Cochin, Calicut, Mangalore, Karwar and Kumtha have to do with south Mumbai? At Ballard Estate, a walk down six lanes named after these port towns reveals stories of a time Mumbai became the city of dreams.
It’s the early 1900s. Mumbai, among the British Raj’s busiest ports, sees hundreds of ships carrying goods from the south laying anchor. According to one version of the story, the streets were named after its early settlers – traders from these port towns.
“People from the south Indian port cities settled down in the lanes near the port and goods arriving from a city were stored in godowns on particular streets,” said noted conservation architect Vikas Dilawary.
Another version of the tale says the streets were named earlier, much before the city’s docks came up. “Sea trade with south India existed much before the Alexandra, Prince’s and Victoria docks came up in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,” said historian Deepak Rao.
Small ships setting sail from these southern ports would anchor in the jetties lining the shore near Fort Market. This was when the sea extended up to the market, before Ballard Estate was reclaimed in 1914.
“Ships from Cochin anchored at a one jetty, the ones from Goa at another. The jetties disappeared after the larger docks were built, but the streets that came up in their place retained their names,” Rao said.
Celebrated editor Samuel T Sheppard, in his book, Bombay Place Names and Street Names, An Excursion into the By-Ways of Bombay City, puts the naming of these streets around 1888.
The book mentions four new roads that came up along the shore to the east of Mint Road in 1888. Carwar Street, Kalicut Street, Kochin Street and Mangalore Street, the book says, drew their names from port towns in south India. Sheppard’s account also mentions several streets near Masjid Bunder, a few kilometres from Ballard Estate, that were named after places in Maharashtra and the neighbouring Gujarat.
More than a century ago, however, winds of change began blowing into what is today prime real estate, when the Ballard Estate was built between 1908 and 1914. While the neighbourhood got a Victorian makeover, the lanes stayed simple, and its buildings plain. The customs took over some of these buildings, but others remained home for the area’s oldest residents. A few small businesses continued to flourish and some of Mumbai’s best restaurants threw open their doors.
HT traced the Mumbaiites who lived through these changes to find fables that only add to the city’s rich past.
GM Badami, at 74, is Karwar Street’s oldest resident. His father migrated to Mumbai from Tamil Nadu, when he was just 14. “A British police inspector would keep a watch over smugglers with a pair of binoculars from a tower near the Waterline police station. The tower doesn’t stand any more, neither does the BPT barrack,” Badami recalls.
Badami said barring Karwar and Goa streets, the others were mostly occupied by shipping industry offices.
“Karwar street had the Waterline police station, some police quarters and our shop that sold shipping equipment. Goa street was mostly occupied by police quarters. A Catholic church came up later and the bell for the church was from our shop,” Badami boasted.
The arrival of workers from the south brought to the city cafes and restaurants that served food from their region.
Surendra Shetty, 69, who owns the oldest motor garage in the area—Sam Ruston & Company Garage – remembers how groups of south Indians, mostly Keralites and Tamilians, worked in the docks and lived on Cochin, Calicut and Kumtha streets that boasted of hotels serving regional food.
“The Kerala hotels served Travancore and Malabari food and were especially popular among the non-vegetarians. The Mangalorean hotels serving vegetarian food and Tamilian hotels serving tiffin were frequented by vegetarians,” Shetty said, recalling how ghee and sugar were free in the Udupi hotels and fish fry would be served twice on-demand in the Kerala hotels for the same price.
“For 54 years, I had my lunch at Bharat (now Bharat Excellensea). The old Iranian café, Café Universal, still exists. A Madras café was renamed as Harish and the Shimla-Calcutta hotel is now called Travellers Inn,” he said.
Shetty, a resident of Mangalore Street, said his garage repaired horse carriages in the 1920s. “It was owned by Mr Sam, a Parsi, and an Englishman named Mr Ruston. After Independence, Ruston went back to England and Sam’s family migrated to New Zealand. The garage was abandoned for a few years, before my father reopened it as car garage,” said Shetty, who has a frame containing three horse shoes adorning the garage wall.
The Calicut street once had burly Pathan money-lenders, but of the 20 families that once lived there, only one is left, residents said. Parsis and Goan Catholics from Goa and Mangalore streets have also migrated abroad or to other parts of the city.
Badami recalls a bustling Ballard estate, where thousands of agents in the customs offices would queue up for clearance certificates, while local youth would double up as guides when a passenger cruise landed.
“They would show the European tourists around. But, as the clock struck five, the busy streets would become silent and the entire area, including Ballard Estate, would become a ghost town.”
Goa Street, Karwar Street and Mangalore Street have since been renamed as Sunderlal Behel Street, Vaju Kotak Marg and Adi Marzban Path, but not much else has changed.
More than a century ago, the six streets came up to accommodate workers who landed here to make a living. Today, office-goers stream in to the business district from different parts of the city. And the streets, they are testimony to how Mumbai is indeed a city of dreams – built with the dreams of its people.

This week Fiona Lindsay discussing how we can appropriate and reinterpret Shakespeare ...
Do you have a particular production of a Shakespeare play that holds a special place in your memory over and above other showings of the same title?
Mine is the RSC’s 1992 production of The Winter’s Tale directed by Adrian Noble, with John Nettles and Samantha Bond playing Leontes and Hermione respectively.
I’d just joined the company and it was my first exposure to this famous late play by Shakespeare. It captivated me from start to finish. Antony Ward’s Sicilia was sleek and dark with gigantic jewel-coloured balloons giving the only relief. Bohemia, on the other hand, was a glorious golden mess of hay bails and bunting. Ilona Sekacz’s music was stunning and the delicate strain of a cello that played during the awakening scene brought most of the audience to tears.
I loved the show so much that I went as often as possible, dragging friends and family at every opportunity. I knew every line, every move, and the transition from one world into another. So I knew something was amiss one evening when the following happened.
Hermione (on Leontes’ instruction) had just taken Polixenes upstage to try and persuade him to extend his stay in Sicilia. Leontes watched from downstage, as from behind the beautifully lit gauze the party scene played out. As the text dictates, it’s this observation that tips him into his rage of jealously and his “too hot, too hot” outburst.
As John Nettles buried himself in deep anger the most surreal and exquisite thing began to happen. One of the very large jewel coloured balloons escaped from its holder and began to float slowly downstage. It came to rest just above and to the side of John where it hovered for the duration of his soliloquy. He ended the speech on his knees at which point the balloon glided silently off stage right. It was a beautiful and profound moment that wasn’t meant to happen.
Soon after this I began to read articles and academic essays on the meaning behind the Leontes and balloon scene in this particular version of The Winter’s Tale. What did the director want to say at this moment? What significance did it bring to the soliloquy? How did it add to the text? Was the balloon a metaphor for the world from Leontes was just about to cut himself off?
Suddenly meaning was being given to something that wasn’t meant to happen, that hadn’t been decided upon and a whole host of people were trading on this complete accident not knowing that it was one. Not that this is an issue, per se. The issue is the Chinese whisper affect that then ensues where we end up with the play being about an escaped balloon (excuse my hyperbole).
I wonder what Will Shakespeare would have made of all the business that has grown up around his work and how his stories have been interpreted, re-interpreted and mis –interpreted and some of the nonsense written about them?
Appropriating Shakespeare – directly and indirectly – has created a livelihood for many people the world over and the food chain that hangs off his work is vast. Ben Johnson famously said of his friend: “he was not for an age but for all times” which, of course, is true. This doesn’t mean, however, that we should, without proper interrogation and thought, reshape it to suit our purposes. It’s not Shakespeare if we do. His genius is that we don’t need to: the beauty and power of his work is its clarity, its directness and its truth and it is, as such, timeless.
Understanding of the text is best served by staying as connected as possible to the original source material and being guided via the interpretive choices of directors, designers and actors to a deeper understanding.
Beware of balloons.


B2Digital Announces Continued Success in Saturday’s Pinnacle Combat 32 Sold-Out Event
Tampa, FL, Sept. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — B2Digital Incorporated (the “Company” or “B2Digital”) (OTCMKTS:BTDG), the premier development league for mixed martial arts (“MMA”), is pleased to announce that its Pinnacle Combat 32 MMA event in Farley, Iowa, on Saturday, September 26, featuring a combination of top amateur and pro fights, was another successful venture with a solid pay-per-view (“PPV”) presence and sold out in-person attendance.
Management notes that the event drove larger in-person revenue levels on a per-ticket basis due to an increased in-person attendance allowance. The event also generated higher overall margins on each attendee ticket sold than in the Company’s prior event in Alabama.
“Iowa was a huge success that dramatically exceeded our expectations despite the headwinds presented by the difficult context,” commented Greg P. Bell, Chairman & CEO of B2Digital. “That success was driven by strong organic growth as our brand continues to rapidly expand. But it was also likely aided by a sense of pent-up demand for live MMA action. The other big success we saw on Saturday was a very strong performance from our new B2InstaStore marketing program. We gave our fighters, fans, and followers a resource for driving ticket sales and they have responded.”
The Company now has hundreds of B2InstaStores registered and operating, which has created hundreds of social media storefronts selling pay-per-view tickets for B2 Fighting Series events. That channel was responsible for over half of all PPV ticket sales for Saturday’s Pinnacle Combat 32 MMA event in Iowa.
B2 Productions, the company’s own production division, produced and digitally distributed the event to a global PPV audience in a LIVE HDTV-style television broadcast using its revolutionary proprietary in-house technology. The end result was a flawless premium broadcast at a cost substantially under that of a traditional large-scale crew

This Morning: Ruth tells Eamonn his jokes are ‘cruel’
Eamonn Holmes, 60 and his wife Ruth Langsford, 60, are household names thanks to their long presenting careers. The married couple are well-loved for their roles as the hosts of ITV’s This Morning when Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby are away. The pair also work separately with other presenting gigs too - making them both successful presenters in their own right.
The happy couple have been married for 10 years, and celebrated their anniversary today as they presented the daytime show.
The stars showed off photos from their wedding day in 2010 as they opened the show, with Ruth posting a sweet message on Twitter to her husband.
“Loving & laughing for 24 years...Happy 10th Anniversary my darling @eamonnholmes,” she tweeted, with three photos from their big day.
Ruth looked gorgeous in the throwback photo, in a sleek white wedding dress and a dainty tiara.
Eamonn and Ruth are best known for presenting This Morning
But while most would agree that Eamonn and Ruth are equally famous for their TV work, do they have the same net worth?
Eamonn Holmes net worth
Eamonn Holmes is a Northern Irish journalist and broadcaster, presenting GMTV for 12 years between 1993 and 2005.
He’s also worked on the BBC National Lottery game show Jet Set, Sky News and Good Morning Britain, and released an autobiography called This is MY Life back in 2006.
It’s estimated that Eamonn has a net worth of £4.1million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
The star at one point as reported to have a £2.8 million salary for hosting Sky News' Sunrise and ITV's This Morning, which saw him as the highest-paid TV star in 2011.
Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes: The truth behind their marriage [INSIGHT]
Ruth Langsford stuns Loose Women panel with risqué admission [COMMENT]
Jack Whitehall v Michael Whitehall net worth - who is richest? [REVEALED]
The presenter caused controversy over the gender pay gap in an interview last year, after it was revealed he was paid more than his wife Ruth Langsford for the same job.
Eamonn told the Telegraph: “I was a much better broadcaster than her for many years. You have to be honest, however harsh that might look, when we started out, I was Eamonn Holmes and she wasn’t.”
However, he said though he would now make sure Ruth earned the same, he wouldn’t do it for other presenters.
“The reason a person’s pay is not as good as mine is I’m obviously better,” he said, though with his cheeky Irish humour it’s often hard to tell if he is serious or not.
However, while Ruth may have earned less for the This Morning role initially, she has made her own wealth.
Ruth Langsford net worth
Ruth Langsford is estimated to also have a net worth of £4.1million, according to Celebrity Net Worth - putting her on an equal par with her husband Eamonn.
Best known for her stints on This Morning on Fridays and in school holidays alongside her husband, Ruth is also a regular star of ITV’s Loose Women.
The presenter, who is also known by her married name Ruth Holmes, often hosts the show, leading the panellists in their discussions of the day in the lunchtime slot.
Ruth originally started out her career at an ITV regional station, Television South West.
Since then, Ruth has made a name for herself with TV credits including TV Travel Shop and How The Other Half Lives, and even danced as a contestant in BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Ruth is said to have earned a £25,000 fee for her part in the ballroom dancing show, partnering with Anton du Beke.
Ruth has also been very vocal about the gender pay gap row, admitting in 2018 that she now insists on receiving the same salary as her husband Eamonn.
Speaking to The Sun, Ruth commented: "I insist now on being paid the same. I insist now that I do. But as we all know, in the past I've worked not just with Eamonn. The thing is you don't normally discuss your pay when you're a co-presenter, but obviously I do with my husband because he's my husband."
Ruth also made her money with an exclusive fashion collection for QVC. It’s reported that she signed a multi-million pound endorsement deal that led onto 19 sellout collections; 18 of which debuted at London Fashion Week Women’s Collection.

Russia bans entry of US naval officer
Moscow: Russia has denied a visa to a high-ranking US Navy officer suspected by Moscow of human rights violations, a minister said Friday.
"We did not let in a US general who used to be a chief of the Guantanamo prison," Xinhua quoted First Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Denisov as saying.
Russia enacted Jan 1 a law which, among other measures, bans the entry of US officers into Russia if they have been suspected of violating human rights.
Denisov did not name the US officer.
According to Russian media reports, the visa was denied to Rear Admiral Jeffrey Harbeson who was a commandant of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba in 2010-2011.
He is currently deputy director for politico-military affairs for Europe, NATO and Russia in the office of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Shock rocker's jacket was stolen from his archives last year.
Among the other items lost was the sculpture used on the cover of the "Hey Stoopid" album.
Most of the items have remained lost, but according to a report on the Alice Cooper website the jacket was anonymously turned in to the LAPD by a gentleman who wished to remain anonymous.
The man claimed to have found it behind a dumpster in Culver Cit. Recognising it he immediatley handed it in, declining any reward.
The jacket is now back in the hands of Alice in Phoenix, who reports that he is so thrilled he has removed the jacket from its display case, and now wears it regularly.

Biden signs stimulus package
President Joseph R. Biden signed the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill today, which give many Americans another stimulus payment, extend federal unemployment benefits and provide large amounts of funds to state and local governments.
The legislation includes further funding for the Paycheck Protection Program and changes intended to expand eligibility for borrowers. The White House previously had announced changes to the PPP to address gaps that limited assistance to sole-proprietors, independent contractors, and businesses owned by immigrants. Additional funding also will go toward temporary health insurance subsidies and assisting schools to reopen safely.
An increase to the national minimum wage was rejected by the U.S. Senate. However, New York, Connecticut and New Jersey already have enacted annual increases to bring the minimum wage to $15 an hour in those states.

Natural medicine is back in style. Not the hipster nonsense you see touted by social media gurus, but real, natural medicine has gained popularity, and for a well-deserved reason. Natural remedies are powerful solutions to a host of health problems and these treatments are often more impactful than traditional medicine (and safer too). One miracle remedy in particular, a combo of castor oil and baking soda, treats loads of health issues. Even in cases where traditional drugs are not able to help, castor oil is often recommended by health professionals. It positively impacts circulation, and is commonly used as a coating.
Making Castor Oil Wipes
As mentioned, castor oil is great for those with poor circulation, and it makes an excellent compress. These compresses are simple to make; all you need is a hot water bottle, cold pressed castor oil, a cotton towel, or some fresh gauze, plastic wrap, and a towel.
First, clean the skin using baking soda. Don’t toss the baking soda away, because you’ll need to use it again after you use the compress. Let the gauze soak in the oil and apply it to the needed area. Wrap the area tightly with plastic, and then warm it with the water bottle. You will need to make the bottle secure, so wrap the bottle with a towel. Keep it like this for a minimum of sixty minutes.
For forty days, repeat this treatment daily, always using fresh supplies.
If you need another reason to love castor oil, here are 23 reasons to fall in love with castor oil.
- Heal injured ankles quickly with a castor oil compress
- Six to eight drops of castor oil will cure tinnitus. Take it orally for four months.
- Reduce the look of stretch marks by gently rubbing them with castor oil
- A blend of castor oil and baking soda can get rid your face of dark spots.
- Applying a layer of castor oil regularly on the stomach gets rid of snoring.
- Massaging your scalp with the oil daily will make your hair grow.
- A layer of the oil on your neck treats vocal nodules and chronic coarseness.
- Consuming five drops of castor oil daily can ward off allergies.
- Rub a thin layer of castor oil over your eyelids to treat eye-related allergies.
- A few drops of castor oil in your ear will enhance your hearing.
- It can alleviate topical injuries like cuts, burns, and bruises and cuts.
- Drip a drop of castor oil into your eye(s) every night before bedtime to cure cataracts.
- Applied topically, castor oil can reduce the swelling and alleviate itching from bug bites.
- Rid yourself of calcium deposits by regularly rubbing your soles with castor oil.
- Castor oil can remove pilonidal cysts.
- Relieve back pain by putting a layer of castor oil on the affected area.
- Diarrhea? Treat it by putting castor oil on your stomach.
- Get rid of warts by rubbing castor oil on them.
- Got athlete’s foot? Castor oil can treat fungal infections.
- Apply right on moles to get rid of them.
- A layer of castor oil on your stomach lowers hyperactivity.
- It can treat hepatitis.
- Castor oil and baking soda can help treat cancer.

$25 Million Settlement Levied on New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH)
New York, NY (Law Firm Newswire) December 21, 2012 – The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) agreed to pay the owners of the Beechwood Nursing Home, located in Rochester, New York, $25 Million dollars to settle litigation in which a federal jury had already determined that NYSDOH officials, in a context of malfeasant comportment, had illegally revoked the operating license of the facility in 1999 in retaliation against its owners, resulting in Beechwood’s closure. The jury was scheduled to decide how much to award in damages when the parties reached a settlement.
The NYSDOH, known for disregarding Fourteenth Amendment rights (such as the right to have witnesses for one’s defense) in its actions against the state’s health professionals, has been challenged to conform to proper judicial practices, most notably via bills introduced by the New York State Legislature. All bills were vetoed by Governor George E. Pataki in 2004. According to Dr. Gérard Sunnen, a psychiatrist with many years’ experience caring for patients in city hospitals and nursing homes, “the closure of the Home undoubtedly tore apart the social fabric and the connective support sustaining its tenants and patients, likely resulting in serious stress reactions, with all attendant consequences, physical and mental.”
The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle filed this report on the unconstitutional retaliation settlement. According to its August 22, 2012 article, the presentation of provocative e-mails, written by NYSDOH officials in the wake of Beechwood’s closure, was a key point in the case. Jurors in the case “pointed to the e-mails as the proof they needed of the state’s malice.” Although Beechwood’s owners sued multiple NYSDOH officials at the outset of the litigation in 2002, five were eventually found liable for the illegal revocation of the operating license: current Health Department officials Susan Baker and Cynthia Francis, and former officials Laura Leeds, Sanford Rubin, and Sharon Carlo. These individuals will not be personally liable for the $25 Million settlement.
New York State taxpayers, however, are the ones to shoulder the burden of the full award.

Chitradurga: We have heard stories about vehicles getting seized by police for carrying illegal materials or vehicles being seized by finance companies/banks for non-payment of loan etc- but for the first time ever here is a story of a train being seized on orders of the court for non-payment of compensation to farmers. That’s what happened owing to the failure of the Railways to compensate land-losers of a project.
In an unprecedented incident, the District Principal and Sessions Court ordered seizure of the Harihar–Chitradurga–Bengaluru Passenger (train no. 56520) for the failure of the Railways to pay Rs. 1 crore as compensation to 50 farmers for acquiring their land for a project. On Thursday, the train was seized at Chitradurga Railway Station, even as there were travellers on board. There was much drama when, as per the court’s order, authorities came to the station and made alternative arrangements for more than 100 passengers to reach their destination before seizing the train.
Railways authorities rushed to the spot and appealed to the authorities to release the train in the interest of passengers. They also approached the court seeking some more time to pay the compensation. After railway authorities filed an appeal later in the day, the court told them to complete settlement of the compensation in 45 days and released the train.
According to official sources, the Railways had acquired land for the Chitradurga–Rayadurga line in 1986 by paying a nominal compensation to the land-losers. But in 1991, the land-losers approached court seeking more compensation. Some time ago, the court had instructed authorities to seize the train. In an appeal, the Railways sought two months to pay the compensation to farmers. When it failed to pay up in the stipulated time, the court ordered seizure of the train on January 25.

The latest round of data showing declining sales by some Tier 1 vendors in the consumer PC space has given rise to new speculation that tablets will kill, or greatly diminish, personal computers for good this time.
But the tablets and smart devices that are the alleged culprits in the death of the PC lack the storage capacity to support the tidal wave of new data they will all create. At the same time, the math does not yet work to make the cloud cheap enough or quick enough to support full and fast access to a wide enough spectrum of personal data.
The result: tablets and smart phones for the foreseeable future will make personal computers more important, not less important, to the new use patters that are emerging.
Here are a few dynamics to consider:
• Apple iPads and BlackBerry PlayBooks, for example, are only built with a maximum of 64 GB of on-board storage – and that is in the highest-end and most expensive models. To support a modest collection of video, audio and photos, as well as a couple of dozen apps means additional storage is needed. Some will pay $99 a year for services like MobileMe, for an extra 20 GB of cloud-based storage, or hundreds of dollars a year for other services, but that isn’t a long-term solution either. Space runs out, even in cloud subscription plans. • Apple’s iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads are, in fact, tethered to Apple’s iTunes service for activation, for critical updates and for synchronization of data; iTunes works on either Mac OS X or Windows computers. So market-leading platforms are built specifically to tie into PCs, not replace them. • Quick access to data is the hallmark of the PC. But accessing data through the cloud for mobile devices is still an unpleasant experience all too often – largely because of bandwidth limitations. For example, while home or corporate networks can routinely provide 10 Mbps, 20 Mbps or 30 Mbps of file transfer speeds, 3G or public Wi-Fi networks throttle that down enormously. For example, hotels, airports and coffee shops that provide “free WiFi” will rarely, if ever, provide more than 1 Mbps or 2 Mbps; more likely, it is a fraction of that. That’s just not fast enough to send or receive large multimedia files. And smart devices are built to capture and create big, multimedia files from photo slide shows to movies to PowerPoint slide decks.
While Apple may in fact put its full iTunes service – including storage of already-purchased songs and movies – in the cloud, who will throttle up the bandwidth to make it a positive experience? The major wireless carriers have already shown they are willing to throttle down heavy bandwidth users, or charge them a premium. Soon, though, we’ll all be looking for lots more bandwidth if tablet and smart device sales continue on this trajectory. Then what?
NEXT: Why Tablets, Smart Devices Make PCs Look StrongerAnd while HP and Dell have said they have seen softness in consumer PCs, Apple and Toshiba, in fact, have not. Gartner Group said both of these PC makers saw year-over-year shipment increases in the U.S. during the most recent quarter. (Mac-based systems were up 18.9 percent, while Toshiba saw 10.9 percent growth.) Both vendors make PCs that have traditionally leveraged the multimedia experience that have made tablets and smart devices so successful.
Overall PC unit shipments may show sluggish numbers over the next several quarters, worldwide; that’s not surprising during a period of such immense disruption caused by new platforms and new use patterns. But with such a huge number of mobile platforms – iOS, Android, BlackBerry Tablet OS, WebOS, Windows Phone 7 – compatibility and management standards are all over the map. Security will be a big concern in the enterprise.
The PC will still be the one place where devices, stored data, platforms, security and management will come together.
The numbers show that during the past quarter, the PC platform may have suffered a wallet share loss to tablets and smart devices. But the data does not yet show that’s an indication of a stronger, downward trend for the long-term.
It also leaves a number of takeaways for smaller system builders and value-added resellers who are often left taking customers by the hand and walking them through the disruption.
First, changes in use patterns will require changes to PC construction. For example, Lenovo’s new ThinkPad X1 does away with an on-board optical drive, but has on-board SD card slots, USB 3.0 support and HDMI support – media that wasn’t supported during the last refresh cycle, but which will be vital in support of tablets and smart devices.
Second, the volume of new data created because of tablets and smart devices – photos, videos, multi-media presentations – will be unlike anything the industry has ever seen before. This data needs to reside somewhere, securely, and will need dead-simple backup options. PCs will need to adapt to this reality and the VARs and PC makers that address this first will benefit first.
Also, 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi have enabled mobility in ways we once could never even have imagined, but we’re still far short of wireless bandwidth Nirvana. The market will eventually figure this out.
As this generation of tablets and smart devices begin to show their limitations, the PC will emerge, once again, as the reliable, necessary personal computing device.

Energy experts at a conference in Cyprus said the island has massive potential for renewables and can surpass its 2030 targets if it properly manages the upcoming challenges.
The key hurdles – and opportunities – identified are the installation of storage systems, upgrading the existing grid, and securing international interconnectors.
General director of the energy ministry Marios Panayides was upbeat at the goals Cyprus has already achieved and its path ahead.
For 2021 renewables accounted for 18.42 per cent of the energy mix, surpassing national expectations, Panayides said at the seventh International Conference on Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Efficiency – Energy Security (Resee).
He highlighted that renewable energy production is up 20 per cent since 2020 due to household installations of photovoltaics.
As for the ministry’s role, Panayides pointed to “the successful plan of boosting renewable energy from households” and the financial support for that to be achieved.
He emphasised that the upcoming “photovoltaics for all” plan is set to be announced in the coming months.
Another important tool to simplify the process will be the creation of digital platform which will serve as a ‘one-stop shop’ to handle licenses for renewable energy projects.
On fossil fuels, Panayides said that the cost to develop a natural gas pipeline network and an electricity transmission system for the 2023-2032 period is estimated at €231 million.
He further stated that the EastMed pipeline – which would connect Greece and Cyprus – is estimated to begin operations by 2029. Panayides noted, however, that other options with other countries are being evaluated.
Venizelos Efthymiou, a researcher at the University of Cyprus, focused his case for the island on the benefits of upgrading the energy storage units.
That, he said, would significantly boost RES availability into the grid, pointing to a shift from the existing centralisation of energy to one where energy is produced locally.
The two prongs of photovoltaics and energy storage will be a much more viable route than alternative technologies, considering upfront investment and operational costs.
Efthymiou emphasised that the battery life span can hit 20 years, according to the manufacturers of the current technology.
For his part, Charles Ellinas said that Cyprus urgently requires an upgrade to its basic energy network – stressing that the lines date back to 1953.
Without those changes, he said, a green future is not possible.
He further warned that without upgrading storage capacity and achieving interconnection then the congestion in production of renewables will persist – delaying the energy transition.
“The transition to green energy can only be secured if the necessary infrastructure exists,” he said.

The Gate Chronicles | S1E70 | This Hidden Darkness
Facing off against the beastly touda, Charles Smoot felled many of the creatures in an effort to rescue the colosseum's prisoners from their grisly fate. His allies looked on in horror until they realized it was time for them to step into the ring and aid their boisterous companion. For although Charles and Selrahc came to an accord, they feared the monstrous drake that was unleashed when his victory drew near would be the end of him. But as the danger seemed to reach its peak, a new entity entered the battlefield. An mysterious figure clad in crimson armor quelled the stadium, where even the beasts bowed, subdued by his presence. Blood boils and tensions continue to rise.
