Blue Tansy essential oil (Tanacetum anuum)
Blue Tansy Oil is a luxurious oil that is cherished for its captivating scent and incredible clearing, calming properties. This oil has a rich blue hue and a sweet, fresh scent. Blue Tansy provides unmatched relief for many people who suffer during high-pollen seasons, soothes troubled skin and supports self-esteem, confidence and enthusiasm year-round. However, Blue Tansy Oil is produced from a seasonal crop that requires optimal conditions, and therefore available quantities can be limited.
The health benefits of Tansy Essential Oil can be attributed to its properties as an antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-histaminic, antiviral, febrifuge, insecticide, hormone stimulant, sedative, and vermifuge substance.
Tansy is a common European herb and the scientific name of Tansy is Tanacetum Vulgare or Tanacetum Annuum. The essential oil of Tansy is extracted by steam distillation of all the plant parts. The chief components that form this essential oil are artemisone, borneol, camphone, camphor, isopinocamphone, piperitone, and thujone.
Major Constituents: Chamazulene, B-Myrcene, Camphor, Sabinene, B-Eudesmol, 3,6-Dihydrochamazulene, B-Pinene, a-Phellandrene [B.M. Lawrence, Progress in Essential Oils. (Perfumer & Flavorist 26 no. 1, 2001), 48-51. Source cited in Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young, Essential Oil Safety (Second Edition. United Kingdom: Churchill Livingstone Elsevier, 2014), 224.]
Tansy essential oil and blue tansy essential oil are very different in their chemical make-up, and subsequent use, despite the fact that they both belong to the Asteraceae plant family. In addition, blue tansy can also be known by the synonyms Moroccan blue chamomile and Moroccan tansy, adding to further confusion with another essential oil.
Blending: The Essential Oil of Tansy blends well with those of cedar wood, helichrysum, lavender, ravensara, and rosemary.
Blue Tansy Essential Oil Benefits
Prevents Bacterial Infections: It should not be very hard to understand that the essential oil, which is so poisonous and can be fatal to humans, would also be deadly for those tiny bacteria. Although some bacteria can survive unimaginable extremities of temperature and toxins, for most of the bacteria which live in the human body, this oil is lethal. It kills them and inhibits their multiplication. This gives effective protection against bacterial infections, provided that it is used in very, very mild doses.
Protects Against Fungal Infections: There is little doubt that the essential oil, which can kill some very hardy species of bacteria infecting the human body. Fungus cannot stand the toxicity of this oil and are killed when subjected to this oil. Their spores are also destroyed. This makes this oil an efficient protector against fungal infections, which cause skin diseases, running ears, hair problems, and dysentery.
Reduces Inflammation: The Essential Oil of Tansy has been found to be effective in giving relief from inflammation, particularly those pertaining to the skin, and others as well. It also gives relief, to some extent, from inflammation in the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems.
Controls Allergic Reactions: Histamine in the body is responsible for triggering allergies and the various problems related to allergies, such as rashes, itches, severe coughs, asthma, breathing troubles, continuous sneezes, or hiccups. Allergies can turn seriously fatal if they take over the internal organs, particularly the liver and heart. These attacks of allergies can be countered by lowering the levels of histamine in the body and checking its production. Tansy Essential Oil neutralizes histamine and checks its further production, thereby controlling these allergic reactions.
Protects against Viral Diseases: The components like thujone and camphor, being toxic to living cells, are capable of killing viruses as well. These components rupture the cyst, probe inside, and kill the virus. This stops the growth of the virus and gives immunity against viral diseases like the common cold, mumps, measles, and pox.
Reduces Fevers: Most fevers are actually indications of the ongoing fight between the body’s immune mechanism and infection by bacteria (like typhoid, yellow fever, and black fever), viruses (like influenza), protozoa (like malaria and a few others) and fungi. The more severe our body’s reaction, the higher the body temperature becomes. Therefore, if infections are causes for fevers, then inhibiting these infections would be the way to reduce fevers. The Essential Oil of Tansy, being an antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral substance, all at the same time, assists our body in countering these infections and thereby reduces body temperature. The anti-inflammatory property of this oil adds to this effect, since inflammation can also raise body temperature.
Acts as an Insecticide: Insects like cockroaches, ants, termites, and moths that are very commonly found in our households, and parasitic insects like mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, lice, and bed bugs, prefer to keep a safe distance from this oil as it is poisonous to them and has a pungent aroma that they cannot withstand. Therefore, this oil serves as an effective insect repellent when used in fumigants, vapourizers, and sprays. Even smaller animals like wall lizards and mice avoid this oil.
Stimulates Secretion of Hormones: Tansy Oil stimulates the endocrine glands and increases the secretion of hormones. It was found particularly effective on the thyroid and thymus glands, which directly affect growth and maturity.
Relieves Nervous Afflictions: This oil acts as a sedative for nerves and emotional impulses. In cases of anxiety, depression, anger, convulsions, nervous afflictions, epilepsy, hysteric attacks, and impulsive behavior, it can be used to pacify them and induce a relaxing effect on the nerves and the brain.
Kills Intestinal Worms: The poisonous effect of this oil kills the intestinal and other parasitic worms in the human body, such as round worms, tape worms, hook worms, and others. It is also used to kill worms that develop in wounds. This helps in the regrowth of healthy cells and quicker healing of wounds.
Other Benefits: It is also used to treat sciatica, dyspepsia, skin infections, and can help prevent miscarriages
A Few Words of Caution: Tansy oil is a potent poison due to presence of high concentration of thujone and even small doses can be fatal. It can also trigger hallucinations and severe nervous or neurotic disturbances, while having addictive, narcotic effects.
Although this herb is very poisonous, it was still popular among the poor people, villagers, and nomadic groups like Gypsies, since they found some medicinal uses of the plant. Let us explore some of the medicinal properties that gave this plant recognition as a medicinal plant, despite being so poisonous.

Russia has been tough on crypto enthusiasts in the last year or so but is now showing signs of relaxation. In 2021 they banned all and any crypto-related activity in the country but now have changed their stance.
As the crypto world becomes bigger and better, more and more countries that were against it have been much more willing to adopt it. A regional court ruled that the Torprject.org should be banned in the country. But due to procedural inconsistencies, the case is now once again in court.
It has been instrumental in the case of people’s public rights vs the State and was banned in December last year. The decision was made in December of 2017 and has been a controversial topic ever since.
Experienced lawyers called for a mistrial as there was no representative of the website present in the court hearings. This and the lack of any laws regarding VPNs have been the main reason the decision is now being challenged in court again.
New proceedings are to begin in a month and Ekaterina Abashina hopes that the decision will be in her favor. As there are now laws regarding VPNs in the country, she says that the ban was archaic and fundamentally wrong. In the past, also many cryptos and other information websites have been attacked by the state and put on the ban list.
But with public pressure, Russian citizens have been gaining access to these sources and the government has been easing up the reins a bit too.

Wankeun Min, 64, disappeared from his family home Tuesday, and family members became concerned due pre-existing medical conditions, police said.
Late Wednesday, Min returned to his home, officials said. He was uninjured, except for a small cut.
LA HABRA — Police asked the public’s help Wednesday finding a missing 64-year-old man who suffers from medical problems.
Wankeun Min was last seen Tuesday morning at his home in the 1200 block of S. Ironwood Street, La Habra police said in a written statement.
He recently had a stroke and has suffered some memory loss, and he requires anti-seizure medication, which he does not have with him.
He was reported missing by his family Tuesday evening, police said.
Min is known to take short walks around the block and shop along Imperial Highway, police said, but in the past he has always returned.
Min speaks Korean and limited English, officials added. He is 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, police said. He was last seen wearing beige pants and a brown and orange striped shirt.

Injured Chiefs lock Michael Allardice will begin rehab in the hopes of returning to ITM Cup rugby with Hawkes Bay later in the year.
During the controversial loss to the Hurricanes on Saturday, Allardice ruptured the medial ligament in his left knee during a breakdown.
Allardice will begin rehab immediately while remaining in the Chiefs team environment but is keeping one eye on Hawkes Bay and a return to rugby in the ITM Cup, beginning in August.
Allardice described his injury as a very quick event.
“I went over the top of the ruck to have a go at the ball, I got cleaned out, and as I came up I heard a pop and felt the pain come up my leg,” Allardice said.
Allardice suspected his season was over while still on the field, and the rupture was confirmed shortly after in the training sheds by team medics.
Allardice first stepped into the Chiefs environment last year when the club offered the loose forward a chance to get a taste of Super Rugby.
Shortly after, Allardice signed a deal to join full time.
“The players are really welcoming and I think that I am a better player being in this environment,” Allardice said.
Allardice made his debut against the Highlanders this year, and prior to his season-ending injury had been working towards trying to secure increasing amounts of game time.
Allardice didn’t think twice about re-signing with the Chiefs when the offer was made.
“I didn’t look anywhere else, as soon as the Chiefs came to me and said they were keen to have me on for another couple of years I was pretty keen on getting pen to paper”.

Dem party affilliation slipping
Via Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, we learn that while GOP party identification held steady or actually increased over the last few months, the Democrats find themselves bleeding membership.
The number of Republicans in the country increased by a percentage point in December, while the number of Democrats fell back two points to the lowest level ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports.
During December, 35.4% of Americans considered themselves Republicans. That's up from 34.3% in November and just below the high for the year of 35.6% reached in May.
At the same time, just 32.7% of adults said they were Democrats, down from 34.9% in November. The previous low for Democrats was 33.0% in August of this year.
As Morrissey points out, some of the growth in GOP membership could be due to the fact that the Republican primary process is the only one that's competitive and that to participate, one must register as a Republican.
But this trend has been active for three years. Morrissey:
As with the USA Today report, independents grew fastest in December, going up 1.2 points from 30.8% to 32%. The real story in this survey, though, is the growing gap between Republicans and Democrats. The margin in December was 2.7%, the widest margin for all of 2011. Just three years ago, as Barack Obama took office, Democrats had an eight-point edge in affiliation, 41/33. The new level for Republican affiliation breaks out of the long-held 31-34% range for Republicans.
Most of the GOP gain has come through subtraction, of course. Democrats have lost more than eight points, while Republicans have only gained 2.4 points, so the movement hasn't been from Democrat to Republican. It looks more like Democrat to independent, with a smaller migration from independent to Republican.
Keep those party affiliation numbers in mind when looking at media polls. Generally, most media outlets give Democrats a 4-7 point advantage in membership - even after weighting the results. This skews everything from Obama favorability ratings to his one on one matchups with GOP contenders.

Looking for a unique perennial plant to add a little interest to your landscape, then grow hops!
Hops have long been grown by homemade beer enthusiasts as a main ingredient for home brewing. But they are catching on as a great perennial plant choice for the landscape as well. Even among non beer-making enthusiasts. Hops are truly a hardy perennial that add instant beauty to your landscape.
And can they ever grow quick! Hop plants can grow 10 to 15 feet in a single year, making them perfect for fence lines, arbors, and trellises. The fast growth can provide a stunning privacy block, or a great focal point to a yard in quick manner.
Making them even more special, the aromatic hop cones that form in mid to late summer add a whole new dimension to the plant.
How To Grow Hops
Most hop varieties grow best in growing zones 5 through 8. There are a few varieties that can grow in the less humid areas of zone 4 as well. Plants need room and support to grow to their full potential. Trellises, arbors, and fences are great to train vines up and off the ground.
Hops are grown from rhizomes, which are small tube like roots. Although they can be grown from seed, it can be a tedious and difficult process. It is easiest to purchase a bare root rhizome, or even a potted plant for spring planting.
Hops need a lot of sun to perform best. It is important to choose a location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of daily sunlight. Before planting, be sure to amend soil with a fair amount of compost. As they grow, they can be divided to create more plants and to keep original crowns from becoming too large. A good rule of thumb is to dig up and divide rhizomes every 3 to 5 years. This not only helps the plant’s overall health – it also can keep them from becoming invasive. Hops do so well in some areas, that if left unchecked, they can take over.
Planting Instructions: For an 8 to 12″ long bare root rhizome, or 1/2 gallon size transplant, dig planting holes about 12″ deep and 12″ wide. Mix back in equal amounts of compost and soil when planting and water in. Allow at least 6 to 8 feet between plants if growing more than 1 plant.
Hops are extremely hardy, drought and heat tolerant once established. It is, however, very important to keep plants well watered the first year while becoming established. Prune hops back to ground level each fall after the foliage dies off. Make this the year you add hops to your landscape!

Ex-Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver sentenced to 7 years in prison
July 27, 2018 05:07 PM
Former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, once Albany's most powerful Democrat, has been sentenced to seven years in prison.
A jury again found him guilty this spring of earning nearly $4 million illegally by collecting fees from a cancer researcher and real estate developers.
The judge told the 74-year-old Democrat that corruption is a crime that attacks the heart of our system of government.
He must surrender on Oct. 1.
NewsChannel 13 has a crew at the sentencing. Watch for live reports beginning on Live at 4.

WALLA WALLA - It's a local showdown in quarterfinal 2B playoff football action Saturday when DeSales and Waitsburg-Prescott head to Pasco's Edgar Brown Stadium in the quest to continue its seasons.
Both teams are coming off dominant wins last Saturday with DeSales (8-2) scoring a 33-7 victory over Brewster, while W-P (10-0) nailed Oroville 49-13.
"It was one of our better games," said W-P head coach Jeff Bartlow of the first round win. "We had a close game against Tekoa-Oakesdale a few weeks ago, and I think that really woke us up. We still managed to pull out the win in that game, which is nice because it kept us undefeated, but I think it also woke us up too."
After the long bus ride north, DeSales showed no signs of fatigue, jumping out to a 26-0 lead in a game that wasn't in question for long in large part due to the return of senior running back Kyle Lindgren, who posted 109 yards on 17 carries with a touchdown.
"We were a little worried how the kids would respond to the long bus ride, but we came out and had a really solid first half," said DeSales head coach Pat Graham. "That's big for us because we have a sophomore quarterback, who has never played in the playoffs so we don't want to be put in a situation where we have to put the ball up 30 or 35 times in a game."
For W-P the victory provided a prime example of the team's offensive balance, which has seen the squad post 1945 yards on the ground and 1915 through the air, behind quarterback Zach Bartlow and senior running back Kris Cady.
"Against Oroville we ran the ball downhill," Bartlow said. "All 11 guys that were on the field executed. Our linebackers played great, and I thought that was also probably just about the best that we've pass blocked this season."
Both teams believe they have improved since their Sept. 30 meeting at W-P, which W-P took 27-14.
The teams both feel they have matured and evolved into clubs that are looking to reach the Final Four of 2B football.
"It's a little different because it's not too often that you've already played a team that you draw in the playoffs," Bartlow said. "I think it's an advantage for both teams because we kind of know what each other is going to do, and we have a relationship with each other and our programs exchanged tapes so I think that will make for an even better game."
Graham is also looking forward for to a rematch with W-P, although avenging the regular season loss is not an added motivator at this point.
"When you're in the quarterfinals you don't need anything extra to get your team ready to play," Graham said. "Our kids know what a big opportunity this is to us so we look at the last game against them as just part of the past, and we can learn from that game, but it isn't any added fire or anything."
The previous match up also provides W-P with a chance to make a few more educated guess on what DeSales is most likely to do opening the game.
"They're a physical team, and we know that since they ran the ball well on us last time then they're probably going to come out and try to establish the run again and build the pass off that," Bartlow said. "Their offensive line played a great game against us, and they can pass the ball too so we know they're like us, and they'll mix it up."
Not much is getting past Graham about his familiar foe either.
"On offense you have to watch out for their three big skill guys, Bartlow, Cady and (wide receiver T.J.) Hofer," Graham said. "Obviously containing three guys with those kinds of skills is a lot easier said than done. Their offense runs through those three guys, and they make everyone on their offense better."
Still, both coaches know that, while knowing their opponents game plan and personnel is a plus, it still comes down to gearing their players up for the right to move within a game of playing for the state championship.
"We've had a great week of practice," Graham said. "We're all looking forward to Saturday, and we know they have a great coaching staff and a talented team so we are excited to have a great game and move one step closer to our goal."
Bartlow and his crew bring similar sentiments into the showdown.
"This is a program we know and respect well," he said. "It's exciting to have two teams from our area playing, and at this point it's a one-game season. We are honored to get to play another night in a great stadium and see where it goes from there."

Video products add the element of visual peeking on your baby, so you can see if your baby is crying but calming down without you or if you need to make your way to their side. Most video products work well in the dark and have adequate sound so you can see and hear what is happening in the room. Some options are dedicated with a camera that talks to a parent unit, like the Levana Lila while others use your Wi-Fi to send information from the camera to your personal device like the Nest Cam. Wi-Fi options are great for larger houses where range could be an issue, and it's also nice for away from home monitoring. While video images are not mandatory for getting a good night's sleep, they do provide more information that can help you determine your little one's needs before you get out of bed. With the price of video products being lower than ever, it is no longer considered a luxury product and many parents are choosing this style over sound only products. However, proceed with caution! Spying on your newborn can be addictive and lead to less sleep which defeats the purpose of a getting a monitoring device in the first place.
Traditional video baby monitors don't offer the same high-resolution picture quality we're used to seeing on our smartphones and tablets. If you want high-resolution video of your baby, you'll have to go with a Wi-Fi monitor like the NestCam that streams video to your phone or tablet. The Phillips AVENT SCD630 video monitor may not be high-res, but it's the best of the bunch.
Video, Audio, or Both: First-time parents are suckers for high-definition, night-vision baby monitors where they can pick up on exactly how their child’s chest is rising and falling. You will do this dozens of times a night. Past the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome-scare age, you may just want an audio baby monitor (which a lot of video ones double as), because you’ll know an “I’m hungry” cry from an “I lost my sock” whine.
But these nursery essentials can be as fussy as the babies they keep tabs on. And like virtually every other household appliance, they are growing increasingly more capable and complex. In addition to conventional video baby monitors that use a camera and a handheld LCD display, often called a “parent unit,” there are now also Wi-Fi-enabled systems that connect to your home network and use your smartphone as both the display and the controller, much like DIY home security cameras. These latter models offer high-defition video, intelligent alerts, and the ability to check on your child from anywhere you have an internet connection.
This monitor is known for its zoom lens, included in the box, that lets you see your baby up close even if you have to position it farther away from the crib. You can use the monitor to remotely adjust the camera, and you don’t have to worry about plugging the monitor in overnight—it can sit on your nightstand for up to 10 hours in the power-saving mode (similar to sleep mode on your computer, but it still provides sound monitoring while the display is off) and up to six hours with the display screen constantly on.

Much of the information on mtDNA copy number, replication and the bottleneck has been obtained from studying mouse and other animal embryos. Further research on mitochondrial biology in early human embryos, and in the germline in particular, is encouraged and should be supported by research funding agencies.
Further work is required to develop reliable assays for mitochondrial disease caused by mutations in nuclear DNA, especially as PGD may be the preferred alternative for those who wish to prevent transmission of such diseases without having to consider prenatal diagnosis and possible termination of an affected pregnancy.
Conclusions This section summarises the conclusions made in the report.
19 ES cells have a low number of mitochondria that do not need to function. Differentiated cells derived from the ES cells, such as muscle, can have high numbers of mitochondria. These can be put in conditions requiring oxidative phosphorylation. It is also possible to derive primordial germ cells in vitro to explore aspects of the mitochondrial bottleneck and whether certain abnormal mtDNA have a replication advantage.
It is not possible for iPS cells to provide information on mitochondrial behaviour in the early embryo. Page 22 of 45

Local Pumpkin Patches and More!
Pumpkins symbolize prosperity, growth, and well-being. They’re also a symbol of fall. Whether you need a few pumpkins to decorate your porch with, one to make a pie with, or to carve into a jack-o’-lantern, we’re here to provide you with information on where to find pumpkins locally.
If you’re looking for a pumpkin patch, look no further than Sharp’s At Waterford Farm (4003 Jennings Chapel Rd, Brookeville, MD 20833) or Larriland Farm (2415 Woodbine Rd, Woodbine, MD 21797). These pumpkin patches will provide you with the fall, farm experience in full. Sharp’s offers free hayrides to pick your own pumpkins. They also offer educational tours. Larriland also offers hayrides for a small fee, as well as a straw maze, a boo barn, and seasonal goodies from local vendors. Both farms also have large markets with an abundance of produce. Pumpkins which have already been picked can also be purchased inside the market.
If you’re looking to make a quicker purchase, consider stopping by Johnson’s Florist and Garden Centers (5011 Olney Laytonsville Rd, Olney, MD 20832) or by St. John’s Episcopal Church (3427 Olney Laytonsville Rd, Olney, MD 20832). Johnson’s always offers a wide selection of pumpkins, ranging in colors, sizes, and varieties. St. John’s does too. The yearly patch in front of their church serves as a fundraiser for their outreach programs. Interestingly enough, the pumpkins sold on their lot are grown on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico, which is another outreach. By purchasing a pumpkin from St. John’s, you’re giving back twice!
Additionally, you should check out your local farmers market. Even if they do not have an entire field of pumpkins, local farmers oftentimes plant pumpkin seeds to harvest a seasonal crop and bring whatever pumpkins their land has yielded to the market, along with their apples, beets, and other fall produce. Olney and Rockville have their own farmers markets. There happen to be an abundance of local markets, so search your town’s market up today!
We at SERVPRO of Rockville-Olney and SERVPRO of Silver Spring North hope you find the perfect pumpkin and all that it symbolizes!

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology plans to use three years to promote the motor energy efficiency improvement plan
On August 6th, it was learned from the press conference of the National Motor Energy Efficiency Improvement Program that a few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine jointly issued the Notice on Organizing the Implementation of the Motor Energy Efficiency Improvement Plan (2013-2015). It is planned to use three years to organize and mobilize the whole system to improve the energy efficiency of the motor and promote the transformation of the motor industry from the aspects of motor production, application and recycling, through policy guidance, standard constraints, supervision and inspection, and market-oriented operation mechanism. upgrade.
In the motor energy efficiency improvement plan, it is proposed that by 2015, the motor products will be upgraded, 50% of the low-voltage three-phase cage asynchronous motor products and 40% of the high-voltage motor products will reach the high-efficiency motor energy efficiency standard specification; the cumulative promotion of high-efficiency motors is 170 million kilowatts. The elimination of 160 million kilowatts of low-efficiency motors, the implementation of motor system energy-saving technology reform of 100 million kilowatts, the implementation of the elimination of high-efficiency remanufacturing of 20 million kilowatts. It is estimated that in the year of 2015, energy saving will be 80 billion kWh, equivalent to saving 26 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 68 million tons.
It is understood that in June, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "2013-2015 Motor Energy Efficiency Improvement Plan", which is planned to be used in production, application and recycling through policy guidance, standard constraints, supervision and inspection and marketization mechanism in three years. The overall improvement of the utilization of the motor field.

“Magicians have done controlled testing in human perception for thousands of years.” –Teller
I still remember the morning when I graduated from being a wavering believer in Santa Claus (around 2nd grade, I think) to the sadly disillusioned child who knew better once and for all. Before going to bed one Christmas Eve, I had written a plaintive letter to the jolly elf (asking for his autograph, among other things), sealed it in an envelope addressed with big crayon letters, and clandestinely taped it to the inside of our chimney in a place he couldn’t possibly miss. And there it still was in the morning, untouched. I had a blue Christmas without him. So much for magic.
Fast forward some 30 years to an eight-week course I took in learning how to do magic. Most of the curriculum focused on sleight of hand card tricks and making small objects disappear. I was a fairly poor performer at best, and once again I emerged from the experience sure that there really wasn’t any magic in magic. I did however acquire a deeper appreciation of the demanding discipline needed to smoothly manage not only my own hands, but audience perceptions – the art of misdirection - as well.
These memories kept resurfacing as I watched the Theatre of Magic show unfold on the Players Guild Theatre mainstage. The stars of the evening are Joshua Erichsen, Producing Artistic Director of the Players Guild Theatre, and internationally renowned mentalist Angela Funovits, slated to star in the SYFY Channel competition series, “Wizard Wars,” alongside the legendary Penn and Teller, and scheduled to premiere on August 19.
Erichsen’s illusions are of a more intimate scale than say, David Copperfield’s vanishing of the Statue of Liberty, though no less convincing, including one wherein he apparently amputates his forearm in an act of what he calls “bloodless surgery.” And there is the occasional sense of “standard fare” about the show, as in his Houdini-esque escape from a straightjacket while suspended upside down on a burning rope. Yet the spectacle’s hold-your-breath tension is still thrilling to experience.
Erichsen’s impressivel “bag of tricks” is also woven with plenty of humor and sight gags. At one hilarious juncture, he takes on the role of the student of magic, learning to execute an illusion by listening to step-by-step instructions dictated by the virtual assistant web app, Siri. As she tells him how to fold a bandana, a perplexed-looking Erichsen has apparently heard banana. Undaunted, he proceeds with fruit in hand and…Well, you’ll just have to come and see for yourself.
It’s interesting to note that Angela Funovits is also a medical doctor. So it’s not so surprising to hear her tell the audience that as a mentalist, she regards her feats as a kind of scientific probing, dismissing the notion of “psychic” or cosmic powers at work. In any event, her stage-side manner, as it were, is amiable, fetching and magnetic as she sets up the parameters of her brain-confounding experiments with audience volunteers, often prefacing her instructions with, “This may sound strange, but…” Strange indeed, and call it what you will – mindreading, fortunetelling, old fashioned sorcery - the outcomes are invariably astonishing.
So while I may have attended the show as a cynic, looking for chinks in the armor of staged illusion and so-called psychic phenomena, I left delightedly spellbound and otherwise duly mystified. Theatre of magic, to be sure. Lavish legerdemain, perfected prestidigitation, oh what a wondrous web we weave when first we practice… Where else can we go to have our trusted senses of reality so wildly manipulated and challenged… and genuinely enjoy it? There’s the magic.
THEATRE OF MAGIC, at Canton Players Guild Theatre, 1001 Market Avenue N, with performances Friday June 27 at 8:00 pm and Saturday June 28 at 2:00 and 8:00 pm. Tickets for this Mainstage show are $20 for adults and $15 for those 17 and younger.

Two Thai medical workers receive awards
Two healthcare workers on Friday received awards from the Asia Pacific Action Alliance on Human Resources for Health (AAAH) for outstanding work in nursing and medical services, according to the Public Health Ministry.
Kritsada Sawaengdi, a senior public health policy analyst with the ministry and adviser to the Thailand Nursing and Midwifery Council, won the AAAH's Nursing Award.
She was recognised for her outstanding role and achievements in addressing the kingdom's shortage of healthcare workers.
Meanwhile, Dr Thawatchai Setthasupphana, director of Mae Sot Hospital in Tak province, received the Medical Award, according to the ministry.
He was recognised for helping migrant workers access basic medical services and preventing Covid-19 transmission along the border with Myanmar.
The winners of the AAAH Awards were announced during the final day of a virtual conference that ran from Wednesday to Friday, according to Dr Walaiporn Patcharanarumol, director of the Bureau of International Health under the Health Ministry.
Kritsada: Tackled staff shortage
He said Dr Thawatchai also won recognition for improving health care for local villagers.
AAAH awards are given to healthcare workers with at least five years of experience, particularly in public health policy and development of human resources.
Recipients are often leaders with track records of efficient management and initiating reforms benefiting public health services.
The online conference was organised by the AAAH in association with the World Health Organization, the United States Agency for International Development, the Prince Mahidol Award Foundation and the Asian Development Bank.

What does dental disease in pets look like?
Symptoms of pet dental disease can include:
- Bad breath
- Changes in eating habits or chewing, such as a decreased appetite or favouring one side of the mouth
- Pawing at the mouth or face
- Excessive drooling or discoloration of drool (brown or red)
- Weight loss
- Red, swollen or bleeding gums
- Loose, broken or even abscessed teeth
What causes dental disease in pets?
Just like in humans, dental disease begins with the build-up of plaque and bacteria. However, due to a lack of dental care, such as daily brushings, this build-up progresses into more severe disease.
The stages of dental disease include:
- Stage 1 – Build up of plaque (bacteria, saliva and food debris).
- Stage 2 – Plaque turns into the harder substance tartar and causes gum irritation, and further bacteria build up.
- Stage 3 – Further plaque and calculus build-up, causing very painful gingivitis along the gum lines. Bleeding of the gums is not uncommon.
- Stage 4 – Periodontal disease forms, which causes tooth decay, bone loss, pain and severe infection. Due to the gum line recession, bacteria enter the bloodstream and can lead to more serious systemic disease.
How can we prevent pet dental disease?
The following are steps we can take that can help prevent our pets from developing more serious dental disease:
- Daily teeth brushing — It is the number one preventative step we can take to ensure our pets have a happy, healthy mouth. It is very important to begin brushing our pets’ teeth while they are young. Before the plaque has had a chance to build up into harder substances that brushing cannot remove. Even if you can’t use pet toothpaste, the mechanical action of the toothbrush works best.
- Feeding a veterinary formulated dental diet. Dental diets are designed to have larger kibbles, encouraging our pets to chew the kibble, allowing the edges of the kibble to scrape tartar off the surface of the teeth. The mechanical action of the chewing helps prevent plaque build-up.
- Feeding dental treats.
- Using dental health additives, such as water additives.
- Having a yearly health exam with your veterinarian.
What if my pet already has dental disease?
Just like humans, pet’s also need dental cleanings completed by a professional. These procedures involve a general anesthetic which allows your veterinary team to complete a full scaling and polishing of your pet’s teeth above and below the gum line, as well as complete dental x-rays to view jaw bone and tooth root health. These procedures can allow bad teeth to be removed, and prevent further disease of healthy teeth.

The Joplin tornado reminded Missourians of just how devastating severe weather can be…and that it can happen close to home. There were 80 tornadoes in the state in 2011 (the average for a year is 32) with 158 lives lost. And tornadoes are not the only weather threat.
To help Missourians learn more about and prepare for severe weather, the National Weather Service (NWS) and the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) have declared the week of March 12-16, 2012 as Severe Weather Awareness Week for Missouri. The goal is simple: SAVE LIVES.
Each day of the week will have a different focus. A Missouri Severe Weather Drill will be held on Tuesday March 13th around 1:30 pm. (In case of a major storm that day, the backup date will be March 15th around 1:30 pm.) In addition to warning sirens, NOAA Weather Radios set to receive the TOR code will activate for the drill due to a waiver granted by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC).
Everyone is encouraged to take part in the drill at the appointed time. If the day or time does not work, please conduct a drill at a time that is best for you.
For a schedule of the topics for the week and downloadable valuable information that can be used for severe weather planning, click here.
NOW is the time to prepare for severe weather that may occur this spring and summer.

This past Friday a good friend of mine from the Toronto area happened to be in town for work, and being a club link member was able to get me out to Greyhawk for a late afternoon round. We had played Greyhawk a couple of years earlier and played the Talon course, but on Friday we were scheduled to play Predator. All day I was looking forward to the round as I always enjoy getting out for a round on a new course or a course I don’t get to play all the time.
Having worked all day, rushing to the course an heading to the 1st tee without a solid warm up, I wasn’t expecting anything special. On the other hand, whenever I get out to a new course, where I have to pay a green fee, I put a fair bit of pressure on myself to play well. Also, my friend and I have have a history of not playing very well when we get together. He being about a 5 index and me being around a 7, we are both fairly competent players, and yet I can’t ever recall either of us shooting under 80 when playing together. With all that said, we headed to the tee just before 4pm on Friday June 17, neither of us expecting what was about to transpire. Below is a detailed account (with my friends shots left out) of the lowest round to date of my golfing career.
Hole 1 – A 395 yard par 4. I hit a driver right down the middle, over a fairway bunker, leaving myself about 130 yards into the green. My approach shot, a 9 iron, look bang on, but flew about 20 feet past the pin. I 2 putted, leaving my 1st putt 5 feet short, a knock in a key confidence putt for my par.
Hole 2 – A short par 5, playing 480 yards. Again I hit a driver straight down the middle, leaving just under 200 yards to the green. Not quite confident enough in my 4 iron I pulled out my 5 expecting to land 15 yards short and have a good chance for an up and down for birdie. Instead I pured it to 20 feet. Again, my 1st putt was weak, and again I dropped a knee knocker for 5 feet. 1 under after 2.
Hole 3 – A long par 4, 444 yards, #1 handicap hole on the course. Another driver down the middle. This time I pulled out the 4 iron as there wasn’t much danger near the green and hit it to 10 feet. For the 3rd straight hole I hit an awful 1st foot. Another 2 putt. 1 under after 3.
Hole 4 – A long par 3 at 174 yards. I don’t remember my club selection, it was either a 5 or a 4 iron. Nor do I remember where I hit it on the green. I do know I hit the green and I 2 putted, again. 1 under after 4.
Hole 5 – 528 yard par 5. Water all the way down the left hand side was somewhat intimidating, but I hit a driver straight down the middle again. Knowing I had something going I didn’t chance it and hit a 7 iron to lay up. Had I known that the water came across in front of the green I would have hit the 7 iron out to the right, luckily my ball held up just short of the rough and the ensuing water hazard. I knocked a SW onto the green, and again 2 putted. 1 under through 5.
Hole 6 – 393 yard par 4. I hit a great drive off the tee, leaving myself with 110 yards into the green. I hit a gap wedge inside 10 feet and once again 2 putted. If I wasn’t hitting every fairway and every green my putting would have been really getting to me at this point. 1 under through 6.
Hole 7 – 416 yard par 4. Another driver down the middle. This hole was playing into the wind a bit, so I still had a good 140 yards to the green. I hit a 7 iron, caught it a little thin, causing a much lower ball flight than I anticipated, it landed just short of the green, caught the down slope and rolled inside 5 feet. Finally a putt I can make, and I did. 2 under through 7.
Hole 8 – 202 yard par 3, with a left to right cross wind. I hit a 4 iron that was the perfect distance, but a bit far right. My 1st putt never had a chance, leaving me with a long par putt that I missed. 1st bogey, on a 3 putt. 1 under through 8.
Hole 9 – A 400 yard par 4. My first drive off the tee that I didn’t pound it down the middle of the fairway. Instead my ball came down on the right hand side of the fairway, about 10 yards short of a water hazard that runs the length of the hole. I hit an 8 to the front right of the green, rolled my birdie putt to within a foot and tapped in for a 1 under 35 on the front.
Hole 10 – I hit another great drive down the middle of the fairway on the 439 yard par 4, but was still a solid 4 iron from the green. The 4 iron got away to the right leaving me with a chip up to the green from a collection area. I hit a decent chip, but missed my 5 footer. Even par through 10.
Hole 11 – 211 yard par 3. I hit a 4 iron to the front lip of the green. Putted up to within 5 feet and knocked in the par putt. Even through 11.
Hole 12 – 357 yard par 3. This was definitely a hole where I would normally lay up short of the fairway bunkers, but on this day I knew I could hit the driver straight and long. I hit a driver up to 80 yards or so, hit a SW onto the green and made a nice downhill 8 footer for birdie. Back to 1 under through 12.
Hole 13 – The shortest par 3 on the course, playing 156 yards. I hit my second worst shot of the day here off the tee (worst shot still to come), skulling a 6 iron into what I thought was the front right bunker. Turned out the ball came to rest a few feet short of the bunker. I chipped up to 5 feet and drained the par putt to remain at 1 under.
Hole 14 – The 521 yard par 5 was almost the death of me on this day. After pulling a driver down the left hand side of the fairway I had the bright idea I was going to cut a fairway wood from left to right, hopefully leaving me with a short approach shot. In reality, I shanked the shot off the heal of my fairway wood and it traveled 20 yards into the water hazard running down the left hand side of the hole. Double bogey, 1 over after 14.
Hole 15 – A 225 yard par 3. I hit my hybrid to 40 feet and managed to hit 2 solid putts for par. 1 over at 15.
Hole 16 – A longer par 5 at 537 yards. The 16th hole would be the 1st fairway I missed all day, hitting a fade into the right hand rough. From there I hit my hybrid up to 100 yards, and knocked a gap wedge inside 10 feet. Another birdie and back to even par for the round. It was now hitting me that this could a personal best round. I had shot 1 over at Metcalfe Golf and Country Club (my home course) once before, but never even or under par.
Hole 17 – A 302 yard par 4. A short par 4 with water down the left hand side. The green is tucked in behind the water, so you can’t really hit the green off the tee. I hit a drive down the left hand side of the fairway, stopping inside 10 yards from the hazard (close call). With only about 40 yards to the green I hit my SW to 10 feet.A rolled in another birdie. 1 under through 17.
Hole 18 – 516 yard par 5. Could I go birdie, birdie, birdie to finish 2 under? I hit another great drive down the middle of the fairway and followed that up with a hybrid to 60 yards. The pin was tucked in the front right hand corner of the green right behind a mound and I would have to drop my ball right on the top of the mound if I wanted to get close at all. I came up a bit short of the mound and my ball kicked left, but onto the green. I had about 25 feet for birdie. I rolled it up close and tapped in for my par. 1 under 71 for the round, personal best!
And that’s how it happened.

I loved this, I've seen it 5 times already before I wrote this. But the name and the title, really ruined this, that was really a poor choice. I loved this movie though, it was great, sad, amazing, made me think about what I'd do, where you have to shoot or someone shoots that guy then you...A do or die. I loved it quite possibly, not only the best in the portal but the best thing I've ever seen in flash.

Detective Nwar engages in modern nwarfare.
