Royal Mail have conducted one of the largest studies of home movers in the UK which reveals people are putting themselves at risk of ID crime by not redirecting their mail when they move home.
The latest findings have been released as part of Citizen’s Advice Scam Awareness Month.
The awareness campaign, now in its third year, aims to give people the knowledge they need to spot and combat fraud.
Cifas revealed that there were 34,151 confirmed instances of identity fraud in the first quarter of 2015, a 27% increase from the same period of the previous year.
Royal Mail is encouraging people across the UK to redirect their mail when moving home in order to protect themselves against identity fraud.
If people don’t take out a Redirection Service when changing address, their mail is likely to land on their old doorstep, with no control over who opens it or uses the information or contents it contains.

The notion of technology-induced disruptive change has generally been applied within academia to teaching and learning. Less explored is the disruption that occurs to research as mainstream technology develops. This article examines the effects of technological change on research in psychology, in particular focussing on the development of web-based empirical research procedures over the past 15 years or so. I discuss the history, challenges and potential of these developments, and put forward some qualified suggestions for some of the future directions that technology will allow research in psychology to take.

Plant body of algae, fungi (seefungus), and similar simple, plantlike organisms. Composed of filaments or plates of cells, a thallus ranges in size from a single-celled structure to a complex treelike form. The photosynthetic and supportive cells tend to be organized linearly, but a thallus lacks such differentiated specialized structures as stem, leaves, and conducting tissue. Most thallus plants are currently classified as complex protists.

Capristo Remote Control Kit for Valved Exhausts for the Porsche Cayman
OFFICIAL Capristo DISTRIBUTOR
Capristo Remote Control Kit for Valved Exhausts
Please Enquire for Price
Interested in this part? Contact us.
Capristo have recognised that there is a time and a place for different sound levels and have developed an advanced remote control system to operate the valves located on a Capristo muffler. This means the driver has total control over sound delivery – for example selecting quiet (valves closed) mode for early morning starts, late night returns, long distance tours or town centre traffic jams; and loud (valves open) mode for real driving allowing the amazing sound to be released from the engine.
The remote control is nicely finished in brushed aluminium and black to attach to your key set in keeping with high-end cars. Sports cars that come as standard with valved-pressure exhaust systems typically operate with the standard remote control unit, but for cars that don’t have valved systems as standard Capristo have developed a fully programmable unit which enables the owner to set the exact values of when the valves should open and close to suit driving styles and back-pressure requirements for peak performance.
The remote control / programmable unit is designed and made by Capristo and is specifically designed to work with valved Capristo exhaust systems. The electrical connections from the car wiring loom powers the controller and effectively makes the remote control plug and play. Two remote control fobs are supplied with the controller and are supplied pre-programmed. Addition fobs are available should you lose one and they can be programmed from the unit if required.
We offer an end-to-end service where we can arrange, supply, fit and/or install. We also work with main dealers for added peace of mind. If you are ready to purchase, please add it to your shopping cart and continue to checkout. We will call you back within one working day to discuss your options.
We are the world’s leading tuner of performance cars since 2002. If you have any question or would like some friendly advice, our specialist tuning department are happy to assist you. Simply, call us or enquire through our form and we’ll get right back to you.


3D printing is a viable option for many medium-sized production runs, particularly high-end interior build-outs in the aerospace industry. Production volumes in this industry are generally very large (over 70,000 parts per year) thereby paving the path for 3D printing or additive manufacturing.
It is estimated that there is a cost reduction of 60-90% on the manufacturing of components in the aerospace industry with the use of additive manufacturing techniques. Parts like guides, templates, gauges, jigs and fixtures have benefited drastically with these techniques. Up until now, it was 3D printing that was dominating the structural, low-volume metal brackets that mount complex life-saving systems in the interior walls of aircraft, but with the introduction of additive manufacturing techniques in the aerospace industry, the cost reduction and other benefits cannot be ignored.Design optimization
Additive manufacturing provides numerous benefits like reduced manufacturing lead time, streamlined supply chains, part consolidation, structural optimization and superior buy-to-fly ratios.
- Enables manufacturing internal channels for conformal cooling, thin walls and complex curved surfaces.
- Enables topological optimization of internal parts and integration of functional features in a single component.
- Enables fabrication of highly complex and lightweight structures with high stability.


Drake settled his beef with Meek Mill and remembered Mac Miller all in one night.
Fans witnessed Meek and Drake make amends, after a three-year feud; this, as the OVO head honcho invited the Philly rapper to surprise fans in Boston at his ‘Aubrey and the Three Migos’ tour stop.
While taking to IG with a photo of the two dapping on stage, Drizzy says, “This really gave me peace of mind tonight. Healing and moving forward created one of the most electric and gratifying moments of my career. @meekmill I’m happy that you are home and that we could find our way back to our joint purpose (Cue the Kevin Garnett “anything is possible” adlib).”
Additionally, the 2015 beef featured a series of diss tracks; including Drake’s “Charged Up” and “Back to Back,” plus Meek’s “Wanna Know.”

LOGAN, Utah (AP) -- Smoking in parks, cemeteries and gatherings with more than 50 people could soon be banned in Logan.
The City Council will vote on the smoking ban ordinance on Tuesday. If the measure is approved, violators would face a $25 fine.
The ordinance would also ban smoke within 25 feet of a bus stop.
Council members say the ordinance was sparked by a request by Summerfest organizers. They wanted to ban smoking on and near the Logan L-D-S Tabernacle, where the festival will be held.
If the proposal becomes law, smoking would also be prohibited at the Cache County Fair, the Cruise-In, Summerfest and Logan's annual Sidewalk Sale.

A recent systematic review highlighted a half-dozen methods to improve antenatal STI screening in low- and middle-income countries in need of better options.
Rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality among women and children in low- and middle-income countries continue to be burdened by the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV, hepatitis B, and syphilis. In fact, it is currently estimated that approximately 1.2 million pregnant women were positive for HIV in 2022—with an estimated 18% (range, 2 – 36) not receiving antiretroviral therapy to help prevent transmission to their children.1
Efficient yet robust strategies to curb transmission among adversely impacted regions need to be better established and disseminated among clinicians to address the public health concern.
A recent rapid systematic review of 27 intervention-based studies identified 6 potentially viable strategies to improve the poor rates of antenatal screening for STIs including syphilis, hepatitis B, and HIV among persons in low- to middle-income countries.2 Led by Jackson Harrison, MPH, of the Reproductive and Perinatal Centre at the University Sydney in South Wales, Australia, the team of investigators believe their findings could provide a diverse blueprint to policymakers, clinicians, and public health leadership to implement adequate and tailored strategies to mitigate the spread and effect of antenatal STIs globally.
Approximately one-fourth of the relevant intervention studies analyzed included the implementation of practices outside of health care facilities designed to improve patient engagement. Among the strategies that may be beneficial include HIV screening offerings leveraged by community health workers at community or congregation settings—a practice that which may also serve to reduce stigmatization of diseases including HIV.
A trio of studies observing the utility of a tablet-based data system on HIV screening rates, a bi-directional text messaging system to prompt overall STI screening, and an antenatal ultrasonography program for HIV screening provided varied results. Though the text message-based system did not improve hepatitis B screening, Harrison and colleagues noted it provided benefit for HIV and syphilis screening rates.
The team highlighted a lone randomized, controlled trial in which pregnant persons were financially incentivized to undergo antenatal HIV screening—observing that it resulted in significantly increased screening rates.
Another 3 trials analyzed how improving the specific infrastructure of health care systems could provide general benefit in antenatal STI testing. One showed that an implemented point-of-care testing intervention, combined with improved training and resources for staff, resulted in significantly improved HIV screening rates. Another study, however, found no such improvement in antenatal screening when applying a point-of-care testing intervention. A Guatemala-based study observed the implementation of a rapid testing intervention for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B into antenatal care practice; the team only reported positive effects in HIV screening rates.
Among the more common types of strategy observed in the analysis, a quartet of clinical trials with lower-quality evidence showed varying results with governance policy changes related to antenatal screening. One observed significantly increased screening rates in Nigeria when the national policy switched to opt-in testing—and additionally increased rates in Ethiopia when the national policy switched to opt-out testing instead. A Ghana policy change to point-of-care testing interventions provided no significant benefits, and the adaptation of World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for antenatal HIV screening was associated with 100% screening rates in Malawi, South Africa and Tanzania.
Only a pair of clinical trials focused on service integration. Both resulted in significantly improved HIV screening rates with the integration of either the WHO’s Elimination of Mother-to-Child Transmission (eMTCT) and primary health care services, or tuberculosis services.


MP to go into mute mode during festive season
Bhopal : Ganesh Utsav, Janmashtmi and other festivals will not be celebrated publicly in Madhya Pradesh in view of the Covid-19 pandemic, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced through a video conference on Sunday.
Moharram will also be observed in the confines of the homes, said Chouhan
Ganesh idols will not be installed at public places and processions during Janmashtmi and Moharram will not be allowed. Chouhan requested the citizens to celebrate or observe these festivals at their homes.
Gathering of more than five people at a time at places of worship will not be permitted. The Independence Day will also be celebrated on a smaller scale this year.
Chouhan said that home isolation should be promoted among asymptomatic corona patients, who voluntarily wish to remain at home with suitable arrangements for regular treatment and monitoring. Currently, 42 people have been placed under home isolation in Bhopal.
Chouhan has said that the recovery rate is continuously increasing and the fatality rate is declining in the state, which is a good sign. The recovery rate has reached 74.1 per cent and the fatality rate has come down to 2.52 per cent in the state.
During the review of Singruali district, Chouhan ordered mandatory health screening of people moving in and out through the state borders. Twenty fresh cases were found in Singrauli district on Sunday.
Indore with 145 new cases topped Sunday’s list, followed by Bhopal (131), Jabalpur (63), Khargone (44), Gwalior (26) and Morena (24).
Jabalpur district with a positivity rate of 9.35 per cent is worrying the government.
The Additional Chief Secretary (Health), Mohammad Suleman, said that 734 new patients have been found in the state, while 719 patients went back home after recovery and 16 have succumbed to the disease. The number of active patients in the state is 8,715.

Filing deadline for Port Huron candidates Aug. 2
The deadline for interested candidates to file for this year’s Port Huron mayoral and City Council races is Aug. 2.
Both Mayor Pauline Repp’s term and those of three council members are set to expire at the end of this year.
City Clerk Sue Child those interested in running can pick up the paperwork in her office. Seventy-five signatures are required.
As of Thursday afternoon, four individuals had pulled paperwork for the mayoral race, including Repp and City Councilman Alan Lewandowski.
Both they and resident Arthur Payne, who filed for mayor last spring, said they already have a few things in mind to help the city.
“We’ve had a lot of controversial things over the last few years, but I think they’ve all been handled, (or) panned out to be the best of our (abilities),” Repp said. “We do have some upcoming issues as far as unfunded liabilities. I think council (will) continue to figure out how we’re going to deal with that without hurting our residents.”
Repp also mentioned hope to address drug use and neighborhoods, and that she’d like the city to continue its economic progress. She filed her petitions in June.
Lewandowski said he plans to formally file his candidacy for mayor next week. His council term doesn’t expire for another two years.
He said he’s looking to “shake up City Hall." He pointed to selling the McMorran Pavilion to St. Clair County Community College and the inclusion of a ready-to-serve fee in water rates as examples of things he thought have been a problem.
“Too much stuff is being decided behind closed doors,” Lewandowski said. “It seems like they’re doing things in the best interest of City Hall and not the taxpayers.”
Payne, who hasn’t held city office, said he wants to put his management experience – he’s held director positions with retail grocery chain National Tea Company, for example – to good use in Port Huron.
Though he referenced issues such as homelessness and hope to bolster youth groups, he said he would show more of his hand after the filing deadline.
Resident David Whitt also pulled paperwork to run for mayor, but hasn’t formally filed. He could not be reached for comment.
Nine have pulled petitions so far for council, and incumbent council members Alphonso Amos, Sherry Archibald and Ken Harris are among them.
Harris has had the filing process finished since May. Like Repp, he included getting “deeper in debt” with the city’s increasing unfunded liabilities as a concern, adding he wants to see a “little bit more fiscal responsibility.”
He also said he wants to look into use of mitigation funds from the Michigan Department of Transportation that are supposed to offset economic costs of the Blue Water Bridge plaza improvements and improving water rates for seniors.
Archibald is still working on finalizing a page of her candidacy petition to run to retain her council seat and said she should have it taken care of next week.
Amos, too, is looking at filing next week. He said he wants to continue work on council related to youth involvement, diversity inclusion and constituent relations.
Archibald said the city should keep addressing city drug and crime issues by ensuring Director of Public Safety Michael Reaves has “whatever he needs.”
Her concerns also include finding methods to improve neighborhoods and fixing other remaining issues “without reducing services and throwing” solutions on the backs of taxpayers.
No one else who has pulled paperwork for the council race turned a petition in as of Thursday afternoon.
The other residents who have taken out nominating forms are Bill Aiello, James Daly, Joseph Hayes, Robert Johnson, Gary Stoldt and Scott Worden.
Aiello, who owns Port Huron-based Custom Home Improvement, pulled a petition in April. He said there was a "very good possibility" he'd file before the deadline, but that he's still evaluating options.
Daley, Stoldt, a Keller Williams realtor, and Worden, or Worden Insurance, couldn't be reached for comment.
Hayes, Times Herald sports writer and local broadcaster, picked up paperwork Friday and said he plans to formally file.
"For 10 years, my family has called Port Huron home. And in that time, we have been fortunate to serve the area in various capacities," he said in a message. "Now I"m excited to further impact our community during a time of uncertainty locally and nationally."

Between Consent and Dissent
Democracy and Peace in the Israeli Mind
- Written By: Yochanan Peres, Ephraim Yuchtman-Yaar
- Publication Date:
- Cover Type: Softcover | Hebrew
- Number Of Pages: 260 Pages
- Price: 75 NIS
Based on a series of surveys conducted by IDI's Guttman Center from 1991 to 1995, this book explores agreement and conflict and the complex relations between them. It is a fascinating discussion of Israeli democracy, which is threatened by external tensions and pressures and is imperiled by internal schisms that also make it more vital.
In contrast to the forces which threaten Israeli democracy, there exist opposing pressures that support it: First, the democratic tradition that characterized the Zionist movement from its inception; second, Israel's multi-channeled connections with the United States; third, the reciprocal relationship with Western Jewry, that hold minority rights so dear.
The majority of Israeli Jews supports the fundamentals of democracy and is committed to them in principle. Although, when democratic values are in competition with other values (the integrity of the land, the Jewish character of the state) that democratic majority decreases in dimension, yet perseveres. A series of surveys conducted in the years 1991, 1992, 1994, and 1995 serve as the foundation for the research in this book. The chapters describe and analyze these surveys' findings, in light of the following questions: Is democracy perceived as an end or a means? What is the relationship between democracy and demography? Is the Israeli public interested in denying democratic rights to unpopular groups? What is the current meaning of terms such as "right" and "left", as well as capitalism and socialism in Israel? Is there an inevitable contradiction between religiosity and democracy? And finally, was Israeli democracy in Israel suspended during the Gulf War? These are the questions this volume attempts to answer.

Propolis has long been known to have a natural antibacterial effect. Propolis is a rich source of flavonoids, minerals, vitamins C, E, provitamin A, and B-complex. There is also a selection of amino acids, fats, trace minerals and bioflavonoids. In the congested beehive, propolis and royal jelly employ their antibiotic, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties to inhibit undesirable bacteria and promote helpful bacteria.
Bees collect resins from the buds of various botanicals. These include poplars, pine and birches. The honeybees chew on the resin, adding their saliva to the substance. This combination is called propolis, and is vitally important to bee survival. It is fundamental in building their hives, protects them against disease, and strengthens the hive walls to shield the honeybees from harsh weather. Propolis is dark brown in color and very sticky at room temperature and warmer. When it cools, propolis becomes brittle. Bee propolis contains many flavonoids, which have healing and antibiotic effects.
Flavonoids facilitate growth and health by doing a number of things such as stimulating hair to grow, blood to circulate, bile to be secreted and urine to be passed. Not only are flavonoids great antibacterial agents, they are also used to treat ulcers, arthritis and flu symptoms. Flavonoids can also be successful at treating more chronic diseases and health problems like stress and joint stiffness.
Propolis has over 100 constituents. It is 30% wax, 10% pollens, and 5% fixed substances. These are elements like grease, amino acid, microelements like zinc and copper, and amino acids. Propolis has a high vitamin content, particularly vitamins B, E and C.
More possible benefits include acne, asthma, bleeding gums, the common cold, rashes, diarrhea, eczema, hay fever, hair loss, any type of inflammation, sore throats, toothaches, ulcers and warts. The amazing thing about propolis is that it has so many healing properties. It is an anti-fungus, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antibiotic.*
"I started taking this product to help battle a strange rash on my legs (couldn't see it, but it itched like crazy), eczema, hay fever, and to help with immunity against all the flu bugs that seem to keep going around. Happy to say the rash is completely gone, no more itching, the eczema is gone, my allergies are better, and I haven't gotten sick in awhile now - and people all around me have gotten the flu!" - Laurie V

Halloween has finally arrived and everyone around you has been busy working on their costumes in anticipation for this glorious day of tricks and treats. Come Halloween night, you may not even recognize the faces behind the costumes. How would you tell apart friends with a sweet tooth from foes ready for some tricks?
For some bacteria, putting on costumes is an everyday event when it comes to tricking the immune system. The immune system distinguishes the body's own cells from those of invading bacteria and viruses. Since the microbe's outer membrane is usually the first thing the immune system sees, the body takes advantage of molecules found on the outer membrane to generate an immune response. This seems like a wise defense mechanism but microbes have several tricks up their sleeves; they disguise themselves from the immune response by changing molecules on their outer membrane (antigenic variation) or by turning on and off expression of genes encoding for surface molecules (phase variation).

Needle exchange and the new drug czar
By Maia Szalavitz, Dec 3, 2008
Is the Obama administration choosing ideology over scientific consensus in its pick for the new drug czar?
President-elect Obama’s staff recently floated the name of Rep. Jim Ramstad, a Republican from Minnesota who is a recovering alcoholic, as the possible “drug czar.”
While the nomination of someone with personal experience of addiction to this post is, in principle, something worthy of applause, Ramstad appears to see addiction and recovery through too personal a lens, putting, in the process, ideology ahead of science.
Crucially, he opposes needle exchange programs to prevent the spread of HIV among addicts, which is one of the best-studied interventions in public health. He even voted against allowing Washington, DC to use its own money to fund these programs.
And yet, every single medical, scientific and legal body ever to look at the data has come down in favor of it and other programs to expand access to syringes.
The evidence for
These include (and the links take you to the research): The Institute of Medicine, the National Institutes on Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Bar Association, the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Society on Addiction Medicine the American Public Health Association, the World Health Organization, Britain’s Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, the United Nations Office of Drug Control, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS the Office of Technology Assessment of the U.S. Congress and both President Bush's and President Clinton's AIDS Advisory Commissions, the Surgeon General and many others.
Here is just a small sampling of the research which shows that not only does needle exchange reduce HIV infections, it also does not increase injection drug use or crime and steers addicts towards treatment, not away from it:
The first international review of the data, conducted in 2006, concluded: “There is compelling evidence of effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness,” of needle exchange programs.
A 2003 study of 99 cities around the world compared HIV rates in addicts in cities with and without needle exchange programs. In cities which started needle exchanges, HIV prevalence in addicts fell by 18.6 percent, while those which failed to do so saw an 8.1 percent increase. [MacDonald M, Law M, Kaldor J, Hales J, Dore GJ. 2003. Effectiveness of needle and syringe programmes for preventing HIV transmission. International Journal of Drug Policy Sterile Syringe Access for Injection Drug Users in the 21st Century: Progress and Prospects. 14(5-6):353–357]
A 1999 study found that needle exchange users were three times more likely than non-users to seek detoxification treatment to try to end their drug use.
A 2005 study found that when needle exchange expanded from 250,000 needles per year to 3 million annually between 1990 and 2001 in New York, the HIV prevalence rate amongst IV drug users entering addiction treatment fell from 54 percent to 13 percent and Hepatitis C prevalence fell from 90 percent to 63 percent.
Over a five and a half year period, a study in San Francisco found that the percentage of needle exchange users reporting having started injecting in the last year went from 3 percent to 1 percent, suggesting a decline in the number of new injectors.
A Baltimore study found that the introduction of needle exchange was not accompanied by an increase in crime – and a study in New York found no association between nearness to a needle exchange and violence or robberies by drug users.
The Institute of Medicine’s Board of Global Health most recently reviewed the needle exchange data in 2006. It found 26 prospective cohort studies and six ecological studies of the programs. The Board critiqued the data for lack of randomization (and as a result, called it “moderate” rather than strong data), but for some reason failed to note that ethical issues preclude randomizing people when denying access to an intervention could be deadly. It concluded:
Moderate evidence from developed countries points to a beneficial effect of multi-component HIV prevention programs that include needle and syringe exchange on injection-related HIV risk behavior, such as self-reported needle sharing and frequency of injection. Modest evidence also points to decreasing trends in HIV prevalence in selected cities studied over time. Although many of the studies have design limitations, the consistency of these results across a large number of studies supports these conclusions.
The only studies that have ever suggested negative effects of needle exchange were cohort studies in Vancouver and Montreal, both of which, early on, found that use of needle exchange programs was associated with substantially increased risk of HIV infection.
Opponents of needle exchange – including the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy – seized on these results, claiming that they overshadowed all the other data and proved that needle exchange was dangerous.
They went so far as to suggest that the Washington Post, which had been critical of the ban, contact the authors of the studies to confirm this. But when a reporter actually did so, all of the researchers said that their work did not show anything of the sort. In fact, these researchers had been so upset about the misuse of their data by politicians that, earlier, they had sent a letter of complaint to Congress.
It turned out that both cities were in the grips of a cocaine epidemic – and cocaine is injected at least three to five times more frequently than heroin, which radically increases the chances of getting infected, for obvious reasons.
Worse, both needle exchange programs set strict limits on the number of needles they would provide, leading to increased pressure to share. After these restrictions were eased in Montreal, HIV incidence amongst needle exchange users fell from 6.1 per 100 person-years in 1995 to 4.7 by 2004. In Vancouver, after similar policy changes were made, HIV incidence fell by 30 percent.
This is why these studies did not persuade the organizations that support needle exchange programs to change their positions.
An unheralded success
While the “AIDS cocktail” has received massive attention for turning HIV infection into a severe, chronic illness as opposed to a nearly certain death sentence, the prevention success of needle exchange and other programs to expand access to clean syringes (like making them available without a prescription), has gone largely unnoticed.
In New York City – the epicenter of the epidemic amongst IV drug users, with the largest population of addicts in the U.S. – infection rates went from over 50 percent in the early 90’s to 13 percent as of 2005. New York was, for the U.S., a relatively early adopter of needle exchange and in 2000, it made syringe purchase without a prescription legal. Studies found that this further expanded access to clean needles and reduced sharing.
In the early 90’s, over 75 percent of pediatric cases in New York were babies born to infected IV drug-using parents – there were 320 such babies born in 1990, compared to just five in 2003. Much of this decrease is due to use of medications to reduce prenatal transmission, but since many IV drug users do not receive prenatal care, the falling rate of infections in addicts is also a cause.
In addition, at the peak of the epidemic, some 80 percent of heterosexually-acquired infections involved people whose partners were IV drug users. The dramatic decrease in infections amongst addicts reduced risk for both their children and their partners and their partner’s partners.
The tragedy is that virtually all of these infections were preventable. The UK, which instituted needle exchange as a national policy in 1986 under Margaret Thatcher, did not have a heterosexual or pediatric epidemic and the infection rate amongst IV drug users did not rise above 1 percent. In American IV drug users, rates climbed higher than 50 percent in some cities at the epidemic’s peak.
In the African American community, there are 68.7 HIV infections per 100,000 people – a rate nearly ten times that of whites. Many of these infections resulted either directly or indirectly from IV drug use, including infections contracted in prison. IV drug use is the second leading cause of infections amongst African-Americans and is the source of much of the heterosexual epidemic.
In 1988, Congress passed the first law banning federal funding for needle exchange – many revisions have been made over the years, but the legislation ultimately said that funding could not be allowed unless the President, through the Department of Health and Human Services, declared that it was effective and did not encourage drug use.
President Bill Clinton allowed his HHS secretary to make this declaration, but did not lift the ban for political reasons, an action he says he now regrets. As of 2005, there were 184 needle exchanges in 38 states, DC and other U.S. territories, but these rely on state and private funding.
A 1998 law added insult to injury in the nation’s capitol by banning Washington, DC from even spending its own money on the programs. That ban was recently lifted, but it was re-inserted into an appropriations bill by President Bush in early 2008.
Washington currently has the nation’s highest HIV infection rate and IV drug use is the source of nearly one-fifth of AIDS cases. Fortunately, the final version of the bill did not include the ban and now needle exchange is finally being publicly funded in the nation’s capitol.
Two decades of empirical research on needle exchange should provide the foundation for the nation’s drug policy, not a former addict’s personal experience. Sympathy is not a substitute for rigorous, dispassionate analysis. If the Obama administration is determined to nominate Rep. Jim Ramstad to the position of “drug czar,” it needs to explain why his personal experience and opinion disqualifies the weight of scientific evidence.


The door holder for this specific motor home gets quite a lot of wear over time. This results in the door not holding anymore. In this case, only the part on the door was worn down so I only designed this.
It's the second iteration, the first one wasn't tight enough, seems to work fine (so far). Not sure how fast it will wear down and if PLA is really the right material for this thing.
I'll hopefully post an update when it's been in use for a while.

Three men have been arrested in connection with possession of counterfeit U.S. currency in Norco, according to a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department news release.
Deputies initially responded to the 4100 block of Crestview Drive in the city on Sunday, May 28, after receiving a report of a suspicious vehicle.
During a probation search of the vehicle deputies located a loaded firearm, counterfeit currency and equipment used to manufacture counterfeit currency, the release stated.
Matthew Walters, 42, of Huntington Beach, and Phillip Gordon, , 27, of Orange were arrested on suspicion of possession of a loaded firearm and counterfeit money and Walters also was held on a probation violation, the release stated.
Then on Tuesday, May 30, in the afternoon, deputies assigned to the Norco station’s Special Enforcement Team, assisted by U.S. Secret Service federal agents, served a search warrant at a home in the 4500 block of California Ave., Norco, and found additional evidence.
There they arrested Eric Morse, a 31-year-old resident of Norco, on suspicion of possession of counterfeit currency.
Gordon was held at the Indio jail with bail set at $45,000, Walters was held in Indio with no bail set because of an out-of-county warrant, and Morse was held at the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside in lieu of posting $30,000 bail, according to jail records.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with additional information is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 951-270-5673.

As I watched and listened to countless women, especially black women speak on how hard it is to find a "man of value" or a "high value man", I realized that there are a number of things that are causing issues in the pursuit of black women having the fulfilled relationships they want, with the men or type of men they want. I would hallucinate that many of these issues stem from what we were taught and how we were brought up.
I discovered an on-going trend of teaching amongst black women that has caused them to show up "late for the party" when it comes to marriage and fulfilling relationships in general. I discuss one of those trendy teachings in this video. Let me know what you think about the video and if you have experienced similar teachings in your upbringing as well as the effects that it may have caused in the way you think or thought about relationships. We love to hear from you!

A labor non-government organization (NGO) decries the unlawful arrest and detention of Sister Patricia Fox, NDS, a 71-year old Australian missionary of the international Roman Catholic congregation Sisters of Our Lady of Sion, from the Congregation of Our Lady of Sion. Sister Pat was taken by Bureau of Immigration operatives Monday afternoon from her home in Project 3, Quezon City.
The Ecumenical Institute for Labor Education and Research (EILER) said that Fox is an advocate of genuine agrarian reform and people’s rights and welfare. She had done numerous missionary work with Unyon ng mga Manggagawa sa Agrikultura (UMA) and Pagkakaisa para sa Tunay na Repormang Agraryo (PATRIA). She actively participated in international solidarity missions in Mindanao in the midst of martial law and attacks against peasants and indigenous people.
“Sister Pat has been serving the Filipino poor for almost three decades now and her remarkable work with peasant communities reflects the Church’s social teachings on building a just and humane society. The illegal arrest and detention of Sister Pat is a blatant attack against churchpeople and advocates of human rights,” said Rochelle Porras, EILER executive director.
Fox was forcibly detained for “joining rallies” and without any further justification. The labor NGO stressed that the nun’s missionary work is neither a criminal nor an unlawful act.
“We demand the immediate release of Sister Pat and we strongly oppose her deportation. Hands off peasant activists! Hands off churchpeople!” Porras said.
Update as of April 25, 2018
Following a series of protests and global outcry, the Bureau of Immigration released Sister Pat on Tuesday, April 17. President Rodrigo Duterte in a statement during a formal ceremony of the Armed Forces of the Philippines verbally attacked Sister Pat, calling the nun an undesirable alien. Duterte admitted that he personally ordered an investigation into Sister Pat’s alleged “disorderly conduct.”
The Bureau of Immigration recommended her missionary visa be forfeited on April 25, citing an activity held on April 7 as reported by Intel Agent Melody Penelope Gonzales. According to the BI, Sister Pat’s participation in the activity is a violation of the terms and condition on the nun’s missionary visa. Attached to the agent’s report are photos of Sister Pat, including one where she is bearing a placard with “Free All Political Prisoners” written and another where she is holding a banner with “Stop Killing Farmers” call.
The activity wherein Sister Pat is being framed for illegal engagement and interference by the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA)-Southern Mindanao Region (SMR) was part of the April 6-9 international fact-finding and solidarity mission in Mindanao. Sister Pat visited detained farmers in Tagum City as well as the striking workers of Coca-Cola FEMSA in Davao City as part of her mission and solidarity work on documenting human rights situation under the implementation of martial law in the region.
EILER stands by the people and Sister Pat, that she has not violated the terms and condition of her missionary visa. Her years of mission work on caring for the poor, advancing social justice, and promoting human rights are reflective of her sincere commitment to uplift the lives of the marginalized Filipinos.
“Sister Pat is only guilty of preaching the social teachings of the Church and serving the poor and the oppressed, including farmers, workers and indigenous people. We couldn’t stress enough that her work in defending human rights is not illegal, rather, an inspiring act of selflessness, kindness and compassion towards the Filipino people,” said Rochelle Porras, EILER executive director.
“We call on BI Chairman Jaime Morante and members of the Board of Commissioners to rescind the visa forfeiture order. The Duterte administration should unequivocally dismiss any charges against Sister Pat so that she can continue her missionary work in the Philippines,” Porras concluded.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is the single biggest killer in the world-and yet doctors are getting it wrong when treating it, a ground-breaking new study claims.
Doctors are taught to always bring down a high blood pressure reading, but researchers believe the approach is too simplistic, too expensive and isn't always a life-saver.
More lives could be saved, and at less expense, if doctors factored in other risks, such as age and diabetes, say researchers at the George Institute for Global Health, supported by the Oxford Martin School.
The UK alone spends lb12 billion a year on controlling heart disease and high blood pressure (hypertension), but the whole system needs a radical overhaul. Many with hypertension aren't helped by antihypertensive drugs, and yet, paradoxically, many others with normal levels could be.
Only a few countries, including New Zealand, have adopted the risk-based approach to blood pressure; most, including the UK and the USA, take an overly simplistic approach of always lowering high blood pressure, and without considering other risk factors, they say.
"What this research shows is that it's not just a patient's blood pressure that matters when deciding who to treat. You can treat less people but prevent more strokes and heart attacks," says lead researcher Prof Bruce Neal.

What better recipe to follow up my biscuit recipe, than a biscuits and gravy recipe! For some reason when it is just my children and I home for dinner we almost always have breakfast for dinner. I love breakfast for dinner, don’t you? For some reason it just tastes better. That could be because I hardly ever make anything other than cereal or bagels for breakfast, at least during the week, and a big home cooked breakfast is such a nice treat.
So, last night we decided on one of our absolute favorites, biscuits and gravy. Pumpkin or regular pancakes are usually our choice when we have breakfast for dinner, but we decided to treat ourselves to something healthier, not! But it’s ok to treat yourself every once and awhile.
I had never even heard about biscuits and gravy until a few years ago, and it has been a family favorite ever since. Biscuits, of course, but never with sausage gravy.
The first step is to get yourself some biscuits. If you haven’t already seen my biscuit blog, the link is at the bottom of this blog. Once you’ve made your biscuits, then it is time to make the gravy.
1 lb. breakfast sausage
1/3 cup flour
4 cups of milk
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Brown sausage in a frying pan until it is no longer pink. Personally I like to use the tubes, I think you would call them tubes, of either Jones or Jimmy Dean sausage. They have a seasoning in them that really adds to the flavor of the meal.
Add flour to the sausage in small increments and mix well until it is really incorporated into the sausage. Cook for a minute or so.
Add milk and stir well.
Cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes or until it thickens. Stir and scrape the pan frequently.
Once it thickens add seasoned salt and pepper, stir well and cook for a few more minutes on low heat.
Serve over biscuits! As promised, here is the link for my homemade biscuit recipe.

Remember how much time you were able to spend to pin down a tracklist for a mix tape? Even if it wasn’t for anyone special, it had to hold up for the future, it would have to be the definite sample of your musical scope, taste and ultimately credibility. When music was not as easily available the word did spread with mixed tapes, later cd’s or minidiscs. But not the format predestined its death but the end of the longplayer format.
This post is not meant as a lament of nostalgia, by any means. If anything we adore these times with music all over the place, even though it is too much to keep up with, the means of sharing and enjoying music have grown endless. While the music industry is on its death-bed, the music scene grows and changes without looking back. But every once in a while, boundaries and limitations offer opportunities for greatness. Within the small space of a CD or a tape magic can and does happen, whereas an endless playlist on your Itunes loses its appeal two hours in.
So it’s kind of ironic that multinational corporations rediscover the format of a mixed tape, to promote young and upcoming artits ranging from all kinds of genres. Of course not for charity, this is for building an image and luring customers into buying things. But since it’s free, well assembled and you’re all old enough to make your own decisions check out the mixed tape series by Mercedes Benz:

After Emerson Palmer led the prisoners of Arizona in a state-wide prison revolt, they assumed control of the state. Following this, the Federal Government deployed troops to put down the rebellion. However, they grossly underestimated the numbers and dedication of Palmer's makeshift army. The Federal forces were overwhelmed. Although more of a skirmish than a battle, the event held real significance for the citizens of Arizona. In the aftermath of the conflict, Palmer addressed the population and swayed them to his side with his legendary public speaking skills. Palmer announced Arizona's succession from the Union and the so-called "Convict State" was born.
Although a second attempt by the US Government to reclaim Arizona was expected, it was delayed due to ongoing debate in Washington D.C. about the issue. Before a consensus was reached, the National Fuel Reserve exploded and the creep began to spread. By the end of the chaos that followed, the landscape US politics had drastically changed and the prospect of reclaiming Palmer's territory was no longer relevant.

The Southampton Town Police Department has added a counterterrorism unit to its crime-fighting efforts this summer, allowing some officers to carry rifles at Hamptons events, which will have heavier security, Chief Steven Skrynecki said Monday.
Skrynecki said about 15 officers have received special training to carry semi-automatic weapons, collect intelligence from other agencies and scan a crowd to identify who might be hiding a weapon or explosive device.
The department, which has about 100 officers, will also implement bag checks at large events, such as the annual Hampton Classic Horse Show, and set up barricades to prevent people from driving into crowds, Skrynecki said.
“We want to just be a little more cognizant for the potential of a threat,” Skrynecki said, emphasizing that the initiative is “out of an abundance of caution” and that there has not been any threat this summer.
Skrynecki said counterterrorism officers have been stationed near the entrance of some events — of which there are approximately 100 in Southampton Town every summer — in the past few weeks to deter potential terrorists from entering.
“We’re also trying to be immediately ready to take action if there was a disruption,” said Skrynecki, who took over the department reins in May.
AR-15 rifles are already in every patrol car, but only specially trained officers — who will receive quarterly rifle training instead of the usual yearly one — can carry them around. Counterterrorism officers will also be outfitted with body armor.
The Secret Service has already trained these officers to monitor crowds and spot people who may fit a terrorist profile, Skrynecki said.
The counterterrorism unit’s responsibilities include communicating with the Nassau, Suffolk and New York police departments about any “chatter” about potential threats and coordinating with the private security groups in charge of major events, Skrynecki said.
Because the unit will not need to purchase equipment, Skrynecki said he expects that the only additional costs to the department may be for advanced training and overtime pay.
Flanders resident Susan Tocci said that while “people get nervous” seeing police with rifles, she understands that officers may want them as terror attacks seem to be more common.
“Nobody wants to see police officers with rifles around, but unfortunately in this day, it does seem to be needed,” Tocci said.
