Miguel Jontel Pimentel (born October 23, 1985) is a renowned and highly gifted American artist excelling in the fields of singing, acting, and production, with a notable presence in contemporary R&B. His journey in music began at the tender age of thirteen, hailing from San Pedro, CA.
He made a significant mark in his career by signing with Jive Records. His debut album, “All I Want Is You,” exceeded all expectations, achieving unprecedented success. In particular, his track “Sure Thing” reached the pinnacle of popularity in 2023, solidifying its status as his most triumphant release on the Billboard Hot 100.
Miguel Jontel Pimentel was born in San Pedro, California, and had a unique upbringing that significantly influenced his musical journey. He was raised in a culturally diverse household. Miguel’s heritage was a fusion of African-American and Mexican roots, a rich tapestry that would later become integral to his artistic identity.
However, his early years were marked by the unfortunate separation of his parents when he was just eight years old. Despite this challenging period, Miguel’s parents left an indelible mark on his musical tastes. His mother’s love for R&B and soul resonated deeply with him. At the same time, his father’s eclectic preferences spanned across funk, hip-hop, jazz, and classic rock, introducing him to a broad spectrum of musical genres.
It was during his eleventh-grade years that Miguel’s life took a pivotal turn. A close friend introduced him to a production company Drop Squad member. This serendipitous connection ignited a passionate fire within him for music production. Throughout high school, Miguel dedicated himself to honing his skills in recording studios, absorbing invaluable knowledge and expertise that would later serve as the foundation for his burgeoning career.
In addition to his burgeoning production skills, Miguel also forged a close friendship with the rapper Blu during high school. This friendship added depth to his musical exploration and solidified his place within the culturally vibrant San Pedro community.
Miguel’s musical odyssey is a captivating and multifaceted exploration of contemporary R&B and alternative music, a journey that has left an indelible mark on the music industry. His artistry is a unique fusion of styles, characterized by his soulful vocals and innovative songwriting, earning him critical acclaim and an unwavering legion of devoted fans.
In 2007, Miguel’s professional trajectory took a momentous turn when he inked a deal with Jive Records, a pivotal moment that marked his official entry into the music scene. It was in November 2010 that he unveiled his debut studio album, “All I Want Is You.” Initially flying under the radar due to modest promotion, the album gradually gained the recognition it deserved, transforming into a sleeper hit. The album’s title track, “All I Want Is You,” featuring the talented rapper J. Cole, served as a captivating introduction to Miguel’s sensual and emotionally charged vocal prowess, setting the stage for his distinctive sound.
Among the album’s gems, “Sure Thing” stood out, initially experiencing moderate success upon its release. However, in an unexpected turn of events in 2023, this track experienced a resurgence, ascending to the 11th position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This unforeseen revival propelled Miguel to new heights, firmly establishing “Sure Thing” as his most commercially successful song. Its enduring success underscored Miguel’s ability to craft timeless R&B melodies that resonate across generations.
In the wake of the triumph of his debut album, Miguel continued to evolve as an artist. His subsequent albums, such as “Kaleidoscope Dream” (2012) and “Wildheart” (2015), solidified his reputation as a genre-defying artist unafraid to push the boundaries of musical experimentation. These albums delved into themes of love, sensuality, and individuality while seamlessly traversing a diverse musical landscape, from psychedelic rock to electronic R&B.
Miguel’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of R&B was exemplified by his Grammy-winning single, “Adorn,” from the “Kaleidoscope Dream” album. The song’s velvety melodies and seductive lyrics showcased Miguel’s unparalleled ability to create music transcending the confines of genre.
Throughout his illustrious career, Miguel continued to release critically acclaimed albums, including “War & Leisure” (2017) and “Art Dealer Chic 4” (2021), underscoring his growth as an artist and his unyielding willingness to take creative risks.

Miguel has underscored the profound importance of Transcendental Meditation as a cornerstone of his life, extolling its virtues as an invaluable tool for achieving inner equilibrium and inner tranquility. This practice, he believes, provides an essential anchor amid life’s tumultuous currents.
Miguel’s romantic journey was most notably intertwined with the captivating model Nazanin Mandi in his personal relationships. Their love story spanned from 2005 to 2022, a relationship with numerous highs and lows. The pinnacle of their union was reached when they publicly announced their engagement in January 2016, a declaration that sent waves of excitement through their fans and the media alike.
Subsequently, on November 24, 2018, a picturesque wedding ceremony unfolded at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, California. This union promised everlasting love and happiness.
However, their relationship dramatically turned in September 2021 when Miguel and Mandi publicly disclosed their separation. It was a decision that sent shockwaves through their well-wishers. Yet, the narrative of their relationship was far from over. In an unexpected twist, in February 2022, they surprised the world by announcing their reconciliation, offering a glimmer of hope for those who had cheered for their love.
Regrettably, this rekindled love proved temporary, as Mandi initiated divorce proceedings on October 4, 2022, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Their rollercoaster relationship had reached its final chapter, leaving fans and observers to ponder the complexities of love and human connections.
In 2017, amidst his personal life’s ups and downs, Miguel was embroiled in a profoundly troubling controversy. He faced allegations of sexual assault brought forth by a fan of his music, Xian Bass. Miguel vehemently and adamantly denied these grave accusations, characterizing them as “bizarre” and “distorted.” He contested the veracity of Bass’s account of the events in question, unleashing a whirlwind of discussions about consent, power dynamics, and the complexities of allegations in the public eye.

Our visit to CAP Headquarters served as a capstone for a unit of learning around water. These students came to CAP a day after presenting their learning to our school community in the form of the 2018 Youth Water Unconference on our campus in downtown Tucson. Attending our conference were students, family members and water professionals from Tucson Water, the Community Water Coalition and Project WET, among others. Now we sit observing water policy discussions at the highest level in the State of Arizona.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced grant awards totaling $385,000 for environmental education projects throughout the Pacific Southwest. “Environmental education is critical to promoting conservation and protection of our natural resources,” said EPA Pacific Southwest Regional Administrator Mike Stoker. “These lessons start in our own backyards, classrooms and in the fields of farmers who work the land. These programs will educate and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.”
This week’s California Water Plan eNews includes: Draft guidelines and PSP released for IRWM grant implementation program; Specialty crop grants available from CDFA, proposals being accepted through Nov. 2; Meadow restoration project shows promise for increasing water flows in the Sierra; Tribal perspectives on fire management to be part of one-hour webinar; Water commission will receive Oroville spillway briefing during next meeting; Affordable water on water association’s agenda for annual conference; Annual conference for resource conservation districts to be held in San Diego.

Henderson Middle School, a campus south of Kettleman Lane, sits amid vacant land and several residences in central Lodi and is easy to miss if it doesn’t happen to be your destination. But earlier this year, Henderson began getting unwanted attention when a failed test of the school’s water well revealed the unfortunate truth that the Lodi Unified campus’ water supply was tainted with an excessive level of a chemical deemed by California to be carcinogenic.
Student teams controlling underwater robots from the United States, Canada and Russia were the winners Saturday in a global competition at the only federal freshwater marine sanctuary in the United States.
“For Joshua and about 30 other kids who participated in a trout hatchery program with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the fish release was a reward of sorts for performing well in department’s 29th annual Nature Bowl last month.”
“As Helene Dillard wraps up the first four months as dean of UC Davis’ College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, she must realize how rare an opportunity she has as head of the top agriculture school. With climate change reshaping the world, ag sciences haven’t been at the apex of the public’s interest since the Dust Bowl era.”

SPUTTERING - NEW DEVICE COMBIMET MC 21
Combimet MC 21 offers three different deposition technologies in one device :
- THERMAL EVAPOTATION
- ARC DEPOSITION
NITROTHERMSPRAY – AN INNOVATIVE SPRAY COATING METHOD
NITROTHERMSPRAY is an innovative spray coating method where the conventional paint application medium, i.e. air, is replaced with nitrogen, with the possibility to increase and stabilise its temperature at the same time.
In most cases, the application of the NITROTHERMSPRAY method reduces the nitrogen pressure levels. This, in turn, helps to cut costs considerably by reducing the so-called overspray.
The device used in the NITROTHERMSPRAY method is a continuous-operation device placed between a compressor and a spray gun. With the use of a special membrane, the device breaks the incoming air into two streams: one contains mainly nitrogen and is used for spraying; the other contains mainly oxygen and water vapour and is released outdoors. The stream rich in nitrogen is free of contaminants and water. A heating system installed within a NITROTHERM pipe integrated with the device allows for heating the stream to the desired temperature.
The device can be connected to any of the following types of spray gun:
• a high volume low pressure (HVLP) spray gun,
• an air mix spray gun, or
• an electrostatic spray gun.
Nitrogen is suitable for spraying with the following types of paint:
• solvent-based paints,
• high-concentration (HS) paints,
• water-based paints,
• one or two-component paints.
The benefits of the NITROTHERMSPRAY spray coating method:
• reduced overspraying, paint/lacquer consumption reduced by up to 30% or more
• easier spray booth and filter maintenance
• eliminates wait time between coats (wet on wet)
• reduces application time by 25-50%
• reduces the number of paint layers
• eliminates the orange peel effect
• eliminates the motting effect
• improves colour matching
• removes surface moisture
• 100% control of delivery
• consumption of solvents reduced by 50% or more
• reduced VOC emissions

Foreword: There were three particular reasons to choose Purepure for review. First, because May 2000 disappoints me with the range of games - most games are either charage, or nukige, or gameplay focused games. Secondly, I see Purepure similarities with Shunpuu Shoujo that I love gently. The third reason is that I see this game to be very different from previous Ange games. I'll try to elaborate in the main part and give my reasons for nominating this game as game of the month in conclusion.
Synopsis: On the moonless night the hero stumbles upon a strange girl. She speaks of herself as master of ceremonies that was kicked out due to being useless. She ends up living with the hero. What's there behind her past?
Structure: Game is divided 14 days with 10 days for setting flags and four days for displaying outcome.
Length: 3-4 hours
Game type: Celestial artifacts girl mystery
Difficulty: There is only a dozen of choices, so easy, I guess. But there are other branches as well.
Character Design rating: 4/10
Protagonist rating: 4/10
Story rating: 5/10
Game quality: 4/10
Overall rating: 4/10
Rating comments: Such ratings from me only mean one thing - game is an absolute disaster. I choose the game for the story and its serious development, and story was somewhat okish, but can't point out anything else.
Protagonist: Nothing special. His presence is not felt at all.
Characters: There are five heroines overall, but I see no reason to play any route but the main heroine Saki.
Story: Story is quite a copycat of Shunpuu Shoujo except for the fact that Saki is not a celestial being herself, but she possesses mysterious sacred mirror and hand-band. The whole flagging part and a good half of "route" path is just water with absolutely unexpected ninja H events on the way. The actual drama finishing part has the same conflict as Shunpuu Shoujo which saddened me a lot, but without the cool angel buddy and humor. The conflict is almost non-existent and resolution is unnatural. I know there is also a bad ending in the game, but I can't possibly see how it can mend anything wrecked so much at that point.
CG: There aren't many CG in the game, some 80sh with HCG occupying over half of the number.
Sound: BGM was quite pleasant, but repeated itself too often. I doubt there are even 10 tracks here. No voicing at all.
Humor: I failed to find any humor in the game even in situations where CG are meant to be funny.
Overall comments: So Purepure is horrible to my taste. What strikes me the most is how it's different from previous Ange games. Ange games were never high quality ones, but they were based on curious stories and had a special style, mostly graphical, so that I could guess Ange game almost without fail. This game feels like it could have been produced by any lesser known company, just an average game with an average story and drawing, nothing special about it at all. The main question is why Purepure is the game of the month May 2000 then. Just because it's the only story-based visual novel of May 2000. I can't stand moege or hospital nakige. But May 2000 has a big title "Natural 2 -DUO-" that's better in every way! That's true, but I value story the most. Purepure was not a waste of time in that regard. Natural 2 would be a total waste, and I'm especially disgusted with the games that have both pure love and devil routes with the same heroines. Thus we have what we have in May 2000.

Eibar recorded a 2-1 victory over Real Valladolid just before the international break, while Osasuna ran out 2-0 winners over Celta Vigo to move onto six points in the division.
Eibar have not actually played outside of La Liga since the 2013-14 campaign, while they finished ninth in 2017-18 before claiming 12th the season after during an excellent couple of years.
Jose Luis Mendilibar's side were 14th last term, which is the position that they currently occupy in the league, with a total of four points from their opening five matches of the season.
Eibar opened their 2020-21 campaign with a goalless draw against Celta before losing their next three away to Villarreal and at home to both Athletic Bilbao and Elche.
Los Armeros ran out 2-1 winners over Valladolid before the international break, though, with Kevin Rodrigues coming up with a 90th-minute strike to secure an impressive away success.
Osasuna, meanwhile, have picked up six points from their first four league matches of the season to occupy 11th position, recording two wins and suffering two defeats thus far.
Jagoba Arrasate's side opened their campaign with a 2-0 win at Cadiz before losing away to Getafe and at home to Levante in their next two towards the end of September.
Osasuna finished 10th in La Liga last season on their return to this level of football and were ultimately just four points off the Europa League spots during an impressive campaign.
Los Rojillos ran out 2-0 winners when they travelled to Eibar for the reverse match last season, while they also recorded a 3-2 victory in this particular fixture in October 2016.
Eibar La Liga form: DLLLW
Osasuna La Liga form: WLLW
Eibar will be without the services of central midfielder Papa Diop, with the 34-year-old picking up a straight red card during the victory over Valladolid before the international break.
Yoshinori Muto joined Eibar on loan from Newcastle United over the summer, and the 28-year-old should make his fourth appearance for the Spanish club in this match.
Eibar possible starting lineup:
Dmitrovic; Correa, Oliveira, Burgos, Soares; Inui, Exposito, Alvarez, Rodrigues; Garcia, Muto
Osasuna possible starting lineup:
Herrera; Roncaglia, D Garcia, Hernandez, Cruz; R Garcia, Moncayola, Sanjurjo, Jony; Gallego, Calleri
We say: Eibar 1-2 Osasuna
Osasuna are undefeated in their last eight matches against Eibar in all competitions, and we fancy the visitors to triumph on Sunday. Eibar have put in some encouraging displays this term, but Osasuna have a lot of quality in the forward positions, and we are backing Arrasate's side to collect all three points.

In October 2018, the French Ministry of Health convened a meeting to assess the extent of misuse of opioid pain medications and consider potential solutions. At the same time, the French Observatory of Analgesic Medicines, a new agency set up in November 2017, released data showing that the number of opioid overdoses among chronic-pain patients in France exceeded deaths among illicit drug users. During the past 10 years, the number of prescriptions for strong painkillers, including fentanyl and morphine, have more than doubled in France, while hospitalizations for overdoses have increased by 67 percent and overdose fatalities by 46 percent. Experts point to the need to invest in more pain treatment units and convince health authorities that France is facing a public health crisis that needs to be addressed.

From the evidence served up on court over the last year, his dream appears to be forlorn, but Murray is refusing to accept that he may have sipped from the winners’ cup for the final time.
A succession of defeats in recent weeks have come just after a handful of thrilling performances over the last year, like his marathon wins at the US Open and Australian Open in the last two Grand Slams, which seem to have fueled his desires to continue.
Yet with Murray preparing to toast his 36th birthday this month, retirement appears to be on the horizon and while speculation is rife, many in the game share a similar disdain for seeing the form of one of the modern game’s all-time-greats decline.
Murray’s latest defeat by Italian qualifier Andrea Vavassori in the opening round of the Madrid Open highlighted how far off the pace he is on clay courts, with that loss coming just two weeks after a woeful display against Alex De Minaur in Monte Carlo.
“It was awful,” conceded Murray, after a loss that saw him apologise to the bemused fans looking on. “Nothing was good about it. I don’t know exactly why that was.
“I didn’t do anything well, didn’t serve well, return well, forehands, backhands, shot selection.
“I’ve had a few matches in my career that were pretty bad, but in terms of how I felt on the court, it was right up there, across the board.
“I was feeling optimistic coming into the clay season. My body was feeling good the last 10 days or so, considering I’ve not played much on it.
“I was feeling strong and I’d actually been moving pretty well in practice, so I was optimistic. But it was pretty demoralising and I’ve not felt like that many times in my career on the court. It was really tough.”
With a metal hip holding him together after years of wear and tear on court, Murray may be alone in believing he could revive his glory days, but his sentiments could not be clearer.
When asked whether he would play the French Open later this month or abandon the clay court season and turn his attention to his favoured grass courts, Murray’s answer confirmed quitting is not at the forefront of his mind.
“Whilst I feel fit and healthy, I would like to give it a go, but I also have ambitions of competing for Wimbledon titles,” he declared.
“I know that sitting here today that probably doesn’t sound realistic, but I do believe that that’s a possibility.”
It is remarkable for a player who has achieved so much in the game to still have the desire to chase more when faced with such unenviable odds.
Murray seems unrelenting in his efforts to get ahead of the doubters, having just entered a second tier ATP Challenger event in France this week.
But why is Murray making the effort to play in a tournament staged in Aix-en-Provence?
For a player who has been world No.1, claimed two Wimbledon titles, lifted the US Open trophy, won two Olympic Gold medals and guided Great Britain to a Davis Cup title, the prospect of playing lower tier events likely don’t appeal, however may feel necessary at this worrying stage.
He is aiming to scramble enough ATP ranking points to get among the top 32 seeds for Wimbledon, as he believes that will offer him a chance to get into the second week at the All England Club.
The truth may be that the ultimate heroes find retirement even more galling and that is likely the case for the greatest British sporting champion of all-time.

Shipping from the State of Vermont to New Hampshire
In the 18th century, the British and French inhabited Vermont. However, both parties were at loggerheads until the French were defeated in the French and Indian war. After the defeat, Vermont was then relinquished to England. Also, in the course of the American Revolution, Vermont declared independence, distinguishing itself from the original 13 colonies, even though the Continental Congress refused to acknowledge it. Eventually, Vermont was admitted into the union as the 14th state in 1790. This happened 14 years after it had become an independent republic.
The state’s name is derived from the word “Montagne Verte”, which is French for Green Mountain. This name resulted in the state’s nickname “Green Mountain State”. Today, Vermont’s mountains are a popular destination for skiers and snowboarders. It is the country’s foremost producer of maple syrup and is the home to the popular Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
Shipping to the State of Vermont to New Hampshire
Attaining statehood on June 21, 1788, New Hampshire was the first state in the United States to have its own constitution. The state’s spirit of independence is symbolized in its motto, “Live Free or Die.” New Hampshire plays a vital role in national elections, as it was the first state to hold a primary election. Its primary results are considered an influence on the rest of the nation leading to the saying, “As New Hampshire goes, so goes the nation.”
New Hampshire shares borders with Massachusetts to the south and Vermont to the west. It has Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the East and the Canadian province of Quebec to the North. New Hampshire is the 5th smallest state by surface area in the country. It is the spot of the White Mountains and the renowned Mount Washington. Mount Washington is one of the windiest areas in the nation. Concord is the state’s capital.

"Absence" surveys the general neglect of and negativity about Byzantium, which extends for the later period to an "essentialist and inexorable rhetoric of decline and victimhood". Cameron follows this from Gibbon through Robert Byron and others, but argues that its traces still persist. She considers the problems of fitting Byzantium into Western European historical schemas, the unfamiliarity of Orthodox Christianity, parochial ideas of "renaissance", and criticisms of Byzantine literature as derivative and lacking in creativity.
"Empire" begins with questions such as when the Roman Empire ends and how Byzantium overlaps with late antiquity. Considering definitions of empire more generally, Byzantium exhibited "reliance on a service aristocracy rather than an aristocracy of birth" and had the ability to administer a broad, diverse area and extract from it the resources to maintain military control and an imperial centre. Cameron also touches on the alternative notion of a commonwealth based on "soft power".
"Hellenism" considers a range of controversies and debates about Byzantine continuities with the classical Greek world on the one hand and with modern Greece on the other. It also looks at arguments about the persistence of Greek philosophical ideas as "a strand of oppositional rationalism" against Christianity. Cameron argues the need for a broader treatment of identity: "Hybridity was built into the very nature of Byzantium and so were the multiple identities so familiar to its varying population and the different phases of its history."
"The Realms of Gold" begins with the early history of Western encounters with Byzantine art. That is inextricably tied up with the iconoclastic controversies, the resolution of which "not only declared images equal to texts but went even further and privileged the image, claiming that words could lie but images conveyed the truth". And there are other difficulties entailed by the intimate relationship of Byzantine theory of representation with theology.
"The Very Model of Orthodoxy" argues that, though "the centrality of Orthodoxy in Byzantium cannot be disputed ... it was exposed to constant challenge". Cameron explores the relationship of theology and philosophy, the weakness of the state, and the lack of a central religious authority. The relationship between emperors and theological debate is illustrated with examples from the reign of Alexius I Comnenus.
As even these bare summaries show, these pieces are quite broad, touching on a variety of topics. They make no attempt to be comprehensive, however — they are not general overviews of Byzantine art or religion, for example, and there is no treatment at all of social history or military history.
Byzantine Matters doesn't assume much background knowledge, but with its historiographical emphasis it is not an introductory work either. The primary target is, surely, undergraduate students of history or classics; the goal to tempt them to leave well-studied areas elsewhere and venture instead into the study of Byzantium. The result is also well pitched for lay readers with an interest in the complexities of history.

People with a family history of colon cancer carry the emotional burden of knowing that they have twice the risk of developing the disease themselves. But a new study might ease some of their anxiety. Patients with a family history of colon cancer, the researchers found, are also more likely to survive it.
The paradox, being published today in The Journal of the American Medical Association, could steer researchers toward new treatments and a better understanding of the disease.
An estimated 153,000 cases of colon and rectal cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2008, according to the American Cancer Society, and about 50,000 people will die of it. Studies of twins show that about 35 percent of colon cancers are inherited, and about 11 percent of patients have at least two close relatives with the disease.
Someone who has a parent or a sibling with colorectal cancer faces about a 1-in-10 chance of developing colon cancer, compared with a 1-in-20 chance for those with no family history of the disease.
The study, conducted by researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, followed 1,087 patients being treated for Stage 3 colon cancer, which means it had spread to nearby lymph nodes but not to other organs. Of those patients, 195, or about 18 percent, had a parent or sibling with the disease. Those who had at least one such close relative with colon cancer were 25 percent less likely to die of the disease during the 5.6 years of patient follow-up than those with none.
The risk of dying was even lower for those with two or more relatives with the disease. Those patients had a 51 percent lower risk of recurrence or death.
"This news may be reassuring to people with a family history, but our hope is that we can discover what underlies this effect of family history in biological terms," said the study's first author, Dr. Jennifer Chan of the Center for Gastrointestinal Oncology at Dana-Farber.
Why a person with a family history of colon cancer has a better prognosis is not clear. The scientists ruled out several explanations for the difference, including the possibility that people with a family risk have adopted healthier lifestyles or take part in added screening.
Chan said the researchers looked at lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise and smoking, and had found no association with improved survival.
The study was financed by grants from the National Cancer Institute and the Pharmacia & Upjohn Co., now Pfizer Oncology.

Over the past few months, my cancer patient and I have spent much time together. At the first visit, we discussed her new, frightening diagnosis. Subsequent visits involved reviewing tests and scheduling surgery. I saw her daily during her time in the hospital and a couple of times during her difficult weeks of radiation therapy. Her life has been turned upside-down, but she is a survivor. She is starting to look, once again, toward the future. Share on Facebook
“I will keep sending copies of my progress notes to your primary doctor,” I say, checking the computer screen and reminding myself who she sees for her general medical needs. “Dr. Johnson has been getting reports since we first met.”
“Oh, I haven’t seen Dr. Johnson in months!” she tells me. “I have been so busy with my cancer doctors that I just haven’t had time. By the way, would you be able to refill my hypertension medications?”
Now, I am getting uncomfortable. My knowledge of hypertension medications is outdated and I am convinced that the loss of regular contact with the family physician or internist is a frequent and unfortunate side effect of cancer treatment.
This impression was recently confirmed for me at the Wisconsin Cancer Survivorship Forum. The survivors shared their reasons for this:
First, cancer patients are busy. Active treatment involves frequent hospital visits and people’s lives are busy. One more trip to the hospital or clinic is often out-of-the-question.
Second, cancer patients are focused. Who has time (or money) to worry about cholesterol or health maintenance when she is battling cancer? The other problems can wait!
Third, we tend to separate PRIMARY care from CANCER care. Elaborate buildings are designed to be self-contained and specialized cancer center spaces. Marketing efforts attract new patients. Referring physicians are educated to send patients with worrisome symptoms or new findings for evaluation — and “the cancer center” will take care of the rest.
Fourth, primary physicians no longer feel comfortable caring for cancer as they might have done decades ago. While we do not expect our personal doctor to refer “routine” diabetic or hypertensive patients to specialists, we would never expect our family doctor to oversee a course of breast or prostate cancer treatment.
I worry about the separation of primary care from cancer care. Primary physicians really do take better total care of patients.
The ultimate goal of successful cancer care should be to transition survivors back to their primary doctors — a process that requires education of both the patients and their doctors. These are responsibilities that not every primary physician will want to assume and not every patient will want to assign.
Cancer survivors are best served when they continue to see doctors dedicated to caring for every aspect of their health, whether that happens during treatment or later. To me, it just makes sense.
||The following is feedback received for this blog:|
Your post is right on the mark! I have been bringing my lifelong friend to her treatments and other appointments for lung cancer. Everything else does fall by the wayside.
And pcp's do get to know their patients and are familiar with so many aspects of their medical needs vs specializing.
As a uro patient who has been on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs because of how it all turned my life upside down, etc ..I have sometimes thought to myself that I don't even think of the rest of my body. You forget you have other organs and things that should followed with a pcp. I am good about it, but just don't have the same focus as the *hangnail that hurts at the time*.
I wonder if she *possibly* has grown attached to you (since I know from your writing how compassionate you are) and because she looked to you for so much during this life threatening time ...it may be a way to stay connected to you? or not. :)
Sadly, my dear pcp had to close his practice (still in his prime), because he couldn't keep it going as a solo practice with expensive overhead and reduced ins premiums. :( I do have a new one and believe he will be excellent for us, but no one can replace my first one.
Sorry so long - your post touched me on many levels.
I really enjoyed this entry as I do all of them, although as someone with a lot of health problems my primary doctor told me she would actually rather have my specialists take care of everything. It seems like she's afraid to touch me with a 10 foot pole. It's a good thing I have such great specialists at Froedtert!
Hi Bruce! I just came across your blog, courtesy of KevinMD. You are right, of course, about cancer care sucking patients into an orbit that excludes the PCP. And, you're right that it impairs the overall quality of the healthcare the patient receives. If consultants in cancer centers worked to prevent such happening it likely wouldn't. But, it would require sharing simple cancer care regimens with PCP's who might not want to do it. Solutions are always harder than identifying problems, aren't they?

LOS ANGELES — Justin Bieber won't face criminal charges for allegedly threatening a neighbor who complained about his driving.
City News Service says Los Angeles County prosecutors decided Wednesday that there's insufficient evidence to charge the pop star.
A neighbor in Bieber's gated Calabasas neighborhood told a sheriff's deputy that Bieber threatened him and spat in his direction when he confronted the 19-year-old about his driving last March.
Prosecutor Alan Yochelson wrote in a document that Bieber's response seemed "immature" but not necessarily criminal.

Jeffrey Rosen in next Sunday’s NYT Magazine:
Goldsmith had been hired the year before as a legal adviser to the general counsel of the Defense Department, William J. Haynes II. While at the Pentagon, Goldsmith wrote a memo for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warning that prosecutors from the International Criminal Court might indict American officials for their actions in the war on terror. Goldsmith described this threat as “the judicialization of international politics.” No one was surprised when he was hired in October 2003 to head the Office of Legal Counsel, the division of the Justice Department that advises the president on the limits of executive power. Immediately, the job put him at the center of critical debates within the Bush administration about its continuing response to 9/11 — debates about coercive interrogation, secret surveillance and the detention and trial of enemy combatants.
Nine months later, in June 2004, Goldsmith resigned. Although he refused to discuss his resignation at the time, he had led a small group of administration lawyers in a behind-the-scenes revolt against what he considered the constitutional excesses of the legal policies embraced by his White House superiors in the war on terror. During his first weeks on the job, Goldsmith had discovered that the Office of Legal Counsel had written two legal opinions — both drafted by Goldsmith’s friend Yoo, who served as a deputy in the office — about the authority of the executive branch to conduct coercive interrogations. Goldsmith considered these opinions, now known as the “torture memos,” to be tendentious, overly broad and legally flawed, and he fought to change them. He also found himself challenging the White House on a variety of other issues, ranging from surveillance to the trial of suspected terrorists. His efforts succeeded in bringing the Bush administration somewhat closer to what Goldsmith considered the rule of law — although at considerable cost to Goldsmith himself. By the end of his tenure, he was worn out. “I was disgusted with the whole process and fed up and exhausted,” he told me recently.

Role of Stability Chamber
Stability chambers offer a controlled temperature and humidity to a particular sample. They are recommended for stability testing in packaging or Pharma. The other uses involve controlled storage and environmental testing.
In the pharmaceutical sector, stability testing offers evidence about how a particular drug’s quality will differ with time under different environmental conditions such as light exposure, humidity as well as temperature. The testing is done before a drug is launched in the market.
In order to test the drug’s quality under particular humidity and temperature, a batch of the drug is placed in the stability chamber which has given humidity and temperature for a particular period of time. Samples are checked from time to time for quality evaluation. The stability test takes place over a period of time varying from a week to half a year or even one year.
Another stability test to notice is photo-stability, or how the drug will function when exposed to light or UV with time. For such kind of test, the chambers meet specific guidelines and emit the light and UV required over time.
Adhere to ICH guidelines
The stability testing guidelines are drafted by the ICH (International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use and are assessed by regulatory bodies globally such as FDA, EC and Health Canada.
The guidelines are precise and need that the temperature of the stability chambers doesn’t fluctuate more than 2 or 3 degrees according to the condition. The stability chambers used for such testing should have low temperature and humidity deviations for assessment over long testing periods.
Effective stability chambers offer performance for long-term testing
You can get the samples tested in these chambers from one week to six months to a year and more depending on the kind of testing being done. If a chamber breaks down in the procedure, then the last loses potentially months of work and will need to re-start with their time line, causing delay for the drug to enter the market. Stability chambers used for stability testing in the medical sector should be long-lasting, reliable and offer long-run performance for rigorous testing.
Some exclusive features can make the labs feel secure while using a stability chamber. For instance, a high and low temperature alarm can warn the observers about the deviation of the temperature. Also, remote monitoring systems permit users to keep a track of the conditions inside the temperature, even when the observer is not present in the lab.
Other prospective uses
Often in rare cases, the pharmaceutical lab may use the stability chamber for other applications. For instance, due to their consistent temperature and humidity, they are a perfect storage for samples which requires to be kept under stable conditions.
The best stability chamber
Stability testing for the medical industry needs a major investment and hence selecting the right instrument is very important. Stability chambers for testing drugs for stability under different temperature, humidity, and light should be stable, performance oriented, reliable and abide by the ICH guidelines. Stability Chambers from OS World India fulfills these requirements and maintains consistent temperature with time all through the chamber. They adhere to the ICH guidelines and render results as per your needs.


If you're a close follower of tech, you're probably familiar with the LG Intuition, or at least its European brother, the Optimus Vu. The major selling point: a 5", 1024x768 (4:3) display. Sure, the other specs are noteworthy in that they match other high-end phones, with a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 CPU, 1GB RAM, Android 4.0, and LTE. But that massively wide screen is undoubtedly going to be the talking point.
And talk people will. It's hard not to remark on just how ridiculous it looks and feels. At first, anyway. After using it for a few minutes, though, it suddenly seems somehow normal that it's so absurdly large.


Abi’s PhD research is investigating factors affecting reproductive success in turtles. Abi is conducting research on PFAS exposure in Victorian freshwater turtles and its impacts on their reproductive success, and will also go on to investigate PFAS exposure in sea turtles. Specifically, Abi is investigating if maternal transfer of PFAS occurs from female to eggs to hatchlings, and if so, the effects on hatching success and hatchling fitness.
An additional component of Abi’s research is investigating if there is intraspecific variation in reproductive success in sea turtle species. This has already been discovered for leatherback sea turtles and Abi is investigating if this is also the case in green turtle populations.

We live in a world of noise where everyone is so quick to speak. When we slow down and give someone our full attention, we offer them a safe place to be fully heard and accepted.
Hear’s the Thing is a story about what is possible when someone is brave enough to listen to others… and, ultimately, themselves without judgement.
For Cody Alan, one of country music’s most famous on-air radio and TV personalities, listening to other people has always been a crucial part of his role. It was by fostering his ability to hear others that he discovered the person he most needed to listen to was himself. Listening ultimately led him on a journey of self-discovery where he found the courage to come out as gay, the openness to question spiritually, and the strength to explore a new definition of parenting and family.
In his debut memoir, Hear’s the Thing, Cody shares some of the many lessons he’s learned along the way such as:
- How to actively listen with empathy and without judgment
- Why a willingness to “let people in” better equips you to receive from others
- How genuine attentiveness can help you build healthier and deeper relationships
The art of listening is often lost but Cody’s story will inspire you to hear that inner voice that is leading you to a deeper connection with yourself and the people around you.
Strategic book announcements and preorder offers to the iHeartRadio and CMT networks
Preorder event planned for 2021 CMA Music Festival (June 10–13)
Supported by Cody Alan’s extensive social media following: Instagram (365K), Facebook (229K), and Twitter (243K)

New Jersey priest dies in fall on Mount Hood
|Father Robert Cormier|
Compiled from news servicesHOOD RIVER - A 57-year-old Catholic priest from the Archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey fell to his death on the northeast side of Mount Hood Tuesday morning.
Father Robert Cormier, of Jersey City, N.J., fell nearly 1,000 feet near Eliot Glacier on the south side of the mountain, say officials. Another climber who witnessed the fall, which happened at about 8 a.m., said Cormier was on the summit and looked north, when he fell through a cornice (an overhang of snow) to his death.
Father Cormier was climbing in a party of three people, according to Hood River Sheriff's Sgt. Pete Hughes.
"We’ve had this happen a few times where people have gone to take a look over to the north side of the mountain and actually fallen off the north side, which is a sheer face," said Sgt. Hughes.
Cormier was active for 31 years in the Archdiocese of Newark. He was also an author and pilot.
Father Cormier's climbing group ascended from Timberline Lodge, the traditional south side approach to the summit, and left at about 1:45 a.m. Officials said Cormier was climbing ahead of his party because another climber in the group had a leg cramp.
Conditions on the mountain were clear Tuesday, with temperatures ranging from the 50s at Timberline Lodge to the 30s near the summit. Avalanche danger has been high, due to the warm conditions and recent heavy snowfall.
Searchers located Cormier's body on the Eliot Glacier headwall, in a crevasse, at about 10,500 feet above sea level, according to the sheriff's office.
Conditions were unsafe for rescuers and crews will not attempt to recover the body this week due to avalanche dangers, deputies said.

We have now collected our ID passes which allows us to do all sorts of things in Singapore, ie establish banking facilities, creche application for TJ, hire/lease a car. Our ID cards look very similar to the Victorian Driver's Licences. Green card with a B&W photo, name and date of birth. Only unique differentation is my fingerprint mark on the rear of the card. I believe that we have to renew our cards every 2 years to continue remaining legally here.
The visit to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) was followed by a return visit to the organic restaurant I described in the Gastronomy blog, called Real Food. We indulged yet again in good food and gave our bodies another injection of vegies and fruit. Here's what we had:
- Broccoli apple juice (very weird flavour. not sure we'd go back for that again)
- Celery apple pineapple (delish)
- Fresh & Grilled Vege Salad with herb greens and avocado, topped with roasted nuts and dressed in balsamic vinegar and oil
- Orange Vinaigrette Salad: potatoes, eggs and roasted pumpkin, with cherry tomatoes, olives, orange slices (TJ ate them all), baby radishes and herb greens. Tossed in fresh OJ, mint, herb vinegar and olive oil.
Very cleansing and filling.
Yesterday, I was finally able to make the first dish at home. With some basic utensils and ingredients, I made a cous cous salad with raw vegies, olives and dressed in a mix of oil, lemon, parsley, ground cumin and ground coriander.
I made another batch today, as John is on a 5 hours teleconference until 9.45pm. I am happy to report that he has had the first half of the cous cous salad and has very much enjoyed it. Expects to finish it off during his dinner break.
Next challenge is to find some new recipes that I can use in a wok with yet again limited ingredients. With no car readily available to do a big supermarket trip, ingredients for the pantry are acquired a little bit at a time. I can just about pull off a stir-fried chinese broccoli in garlic, soy sauce and oyster sauce, just need to add something a little more substantial to that. Meat is quite expensive, so I need to be selective and clever.
Okay, so we seem to be eating all the time. I promise though it's only the standard 3 meals a day. We are just out so often as we wait for our boxes to arrive and our pantry is decently furnished a respectable selection of ingredients. However, then you may be bombarded with my own Asian culinary experiences. Either way we are eating very well, very healthy, getting huge doses of Omega 3 and whilst not bad on the waistline, it's not reducing it either.
PS: We are still having deserts though. Usually a scoop of ice cream. Except for the caramelized almond semifreddo we had at Tavolo Italian Restaurant. We moaned through every bite. Annie, I am taking you there just for the desert. You can have food if you want but desert, I am ordering it.
