Russia is such a vast country that it continues to produce autonomous republics few people outside the region have ever heard of — all with their own folk-dance ensembles.
One such place is Adyghea, an enclave lost in the bushy foothills of the Caucasus. The inhabitants, sometimes called Circassians, are the remnants of a population forced to emigrate after conquest by Russia in the 19th century.
Though small, with a total population under half a million, Adyghea is sure to become better known through the international touring of Nalmes, its state-supported concert group. These artists made their American debut this month, at the Virginia Arts Festival, and will present a Nalmes Folk Dance Spectacular, Saturday at New Brunswick’s State Theatre.
A quick glance at Nalmes’ photos immediately suggests a resemblance to the costume of the much more famous folk artists of Georgia — the men’s chests decorated with cartridges; their enveloping felt cloaks and tall, lambskin hats; and the women standing stiffly erect with hanging, medieval-style sleeves. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Georgians have become familiar visitors on the touring circuit; and as it happens, the Georgians also live in the Caucasus, only a stone’s throw away from Adyghea.
Not that anyone is throwing stones. Knives get so much more attention.
Over the years, the Adygheans and the Georgians have had a few dust-ups. Vitaly Mironov, Nalmes’ Russian impresario and producer, says the military aspects of the Adygheans’ national costume (those cartridge belts and daggers at the waist) reflect this history of conflict. He says war fostered cultural exchange, explaining, for instance, why both the Adygheans and the Georgians dance on their toes in leather boots and why they both perform a gliding dance with rapid and invisible steps — a type familiar from the Moiseyev Dance Company’s number “Partisans.” According to Mironov, the Georgians copied the Adygheans’ dances, a claim that indignant Georgians surely would dispute.
“It’s a dramatic history,” says Mironov. “The Adygheans are a very proud and romantic people.”
The touring program features a suite of theatricalized folk numbers, accompanied by traditional instruments (plus a modern keyboard). Daredevil numbers are reserved for the men, while the women perform more stately dances.
According to Mironov, in the “Dance with Knives” a Nalmes soloist named Baturay handles 20 razor-sharp blades, tossing 15 of them into the ground from his teeth. The “Tale of the Narts” describes an epic battle between the forces of light and darkness. Other dances are innocently humorous, like the one in which two country lads who are mowing grass rebuke their lazy companion.
Mironov prefers to emphasize Nalmes’ most passionate repertoire, however, saying that Adygheans “don’t dance with their legs, they dance with their souls.”

VANCOUVER—Events overseas have likely never been cited so often in B.C. politics.
The province’s electoral referendum ends Nov. 30. Both opponents and supporters of reform here have been quick to pounce on voting turmoil abroad as proof of their favoured system. Brazil’s election last Sunday of a far-right populist accused of fascist leanings is no different.
First out the gate was the president of the No B.C. Proportional Representation Society, Bill Tieleman. Following Jair Bolsonaro’s victory in Brazil, Tieleman tweeted: “Brazil’s system of government is notoriously dysfunctional ... The president is elected by a majority vote and faces a House of Deputies chosen by a very complex system of proportional representation.”
Advocates of B.C.’s current electoral system have focused on raising the spectre of extremists gaining a foothold to power if voters opt to ditch first-past-the-post. In that system, members of the Legislative Assembly are elected by garnering the largest number, or plurality, of votes — even if it’s not a majority.
Previously, the rise of politicians widely labelled neo-Nazis in the parliaments of Germany and Scandinavian countries has been a talking point. An advertisement from Tieleman’s organization featured marching soldiers after footage of extremists rioting in Germany.
So it’s no surprise Bolsonaro’s election as Brazil’s president last Sunday with 55 per cent of the ballots — nearly 60 million votes — would be the latest fodder for opponents of reform.
Immediately, proportional representation supporters challenged Tieleman’s assertion that Brazil’s electoral system could be injected into B.C.’s debate.
“Brazil’s president is not elected by proportional representation,” tweeted Vancouver-based commenter and political science graduate Devon Rowcliff. “Thanks for clarifying, Bill.”
Vancouver investigative journalist Bob Mackin’s Breaker.news also jumped into the fray, arguing: “The president is elected by first-past-the-post. Only difference is the horse race lasts a little longer.
“And, like Europe, Brazil’s problems are more complex than simply blaming the proportional representation elections for lower offices.”
And in the provincial capital, CFAX radio host Adam Stirling got into the fight, noting on Twitter: “Ultra far-right homophobic, sexist, militarist autocrat that just won Brazil’s election and he rose to power because he was elected SEVEN TIMES to a national congress that is chosen through open list proportional representation. Awkward. #prorep.”
So what exactly is true, if both sides — electoral reform cheerleader Rowcliffe and first-past-the-post defenders Tieleman and Stirling — see vindication in Brazil’s controversial elections?
According to Latin America expert Michelle Bonner, a political science professor at the University of Victoria, neither side gets to score a point over Brazil.
Bonner is currently researching a book on what she calls the rise of “punitive populism” across Latin America, a tough-on-crime conservatism fuelled by public fears of growing violence even while most countries’ violent crime rates decline.
“This is really an anomaly compared to previous elections in Brazil, which have generally produced centrist results,” she said in a phone interview. “It’s more than anything the result of the huge corruption scandals in Brazil that have caught up almost all the political parties — that made a candidate who had not been connected seem appealing.
“None of it has anything to do with their electoral system, and so much to do with political economy and other global changes happening. The elections just reflect those tensions happening already.”
Brazil’s presidential elections are in fact a “majoritarian” process whereby a candidate without more than 50 per cent of votes cast must survive multiple rounds of voting as losing candidates are dropped from the ballots.
“They have runoffs to make sure whoever wins in the end has over 50 per cent,” Bonner explained. “That’s common in most presidential elections around the world.”
Max Cameron, a political scientist at the University of B.C. and an electoral reform advocate himself, agreed that Brazil’s situation is hardly comparable to B.C.’s.
“Brazilians were fed-up with corruption, cronyism and insecurity,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “Investigations into money laundering by Brazilian federal judge Sérgio Fernando Moro implicated an astonishing number of politicians and business people.
“So far there have been at least 150 convictions, and it is estimated that one quarter of the congress is involved in the scandal.”
In an earlier interview, Cameron said that proportional representation is no more likely to produce “extreme” or unstable governments than first-past-the-post elections.
Brazil’s presidential race requires an absolute majority vote through a two-round system, in which only the top two candidates proceed to a second round of voting. It’s known as runoff voting and is used to elect the presidents of all Latin American countries, as well as France, Austria, Finland, India and Portugal.
In Canada, such run-off ballot voting is actually used by most political parties to elect party leaders, including the Conservative Party of Canada — which held 12 rounds of voting and elected Andrew Scheer leader, beating his rival Maxine Bernier by less than two per cent in the final round. The federal Liberals used run-off voting until recently, but in 2013 used a version of run-off voting with a single round that redistributes losing candidates’ votes to voters’ second choices, similar to the single-transferable vote.
The B.C. Liberals — who are campaigning aggressively against what they call the B.C. NDP’s “rigged” referendum — also use run-off balloting, with five rounds electing leader Andrew Wilkinson on Feb. 3 this year, beating rival Dianne Watts by double the percentage of votes, despite Round 1 giving him just over half her votes.
Meanwhile, Brazil’s 513-member Chamber of Deputies, akin to Canada’s House of Commons, uses open-list proportional representation, while Brazil’s 81-member Federal Senate uses a first-past-the-post system where the winner has the plurality, or most, votes.
Bonner asks people to weigh competing claims about Brazil’s results against the same system being in place in nearby Chile, which has produced decades of relatively stable governments.
“They use proportional representation ... but so do most countries in Europe,” she noted. “Chile has had stable centrist coalition governments consistently since the return of electoral democracy.”
However, whether repeated series of coalition governments cobbled together from an ever-changing sea of political parties is desirable is a question up for debate in British Columbia’s referendum, since it is indisputable that first-past-the-post usually tends to favour one or two major parties and sidelines third parties.
This is B.C.’s third referendum on proportional representation, but the first to require only a simple majority to pass, rekindling reformers’ hopes of having legislature seats better reflect the popular vote.
Although B.C.’s independent chief electoral officer vetted and approved the ballot questions, opponents have criticized the referendum as “rigged” in favour of NDP and Green electoral success — particularly since details of how to implement the alternative systems or riding boundaries will be decided by a committee of their government.
Referendum voting packages must be received by Elections B.C. before 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 30, either by mail or in-person at Service B.C. centres.
B.C.’s ballot asks two questions: First, whether we should keep first-past-the-post voting or change to proportional representation; and second, to rank three proportional systems in order of preference: mixed member proportional, rural-urban proportional or dual member proportional. Voters can answer both questions or just one.

Ambrose’s bill, as it stands, adds a similar eligibility requirement for prospective superior court judges, requires annual reporting to Parliament and requires judges to provide recorded or written reasons for decisions in sexual assault cases. Pratte said his three amendments will address several practical concerns about its original wording.
The first amendment, similar to a change in the P.E.I. bill, would commit judges to complete mandatory education once they are appointed, rather than requiring them to have already completed it prior to applying for judgeship. This avoids issues around the confidentiality of judicial applications and the large number of applicants who don’t actually get appointed, Pratte said. Anyone who didn’t follow the training would be open to sanction.
The second amendment, Pratte explained, broadens requirements around who actually develops the education courses. At present the bill stipulates the courses be developed in consultation with victims’ groups. The amendment would expand consultation to anyone deemed appropriate, including victims’ groups, a broader definition that Pratte said would make it harder for defence lawyers to complain of bias.
The third amendment would remove a requirement that the judicial council name judges who had heard cases of sexual assault but had not followed the proper training, which some senators worry could lead to judges being shamed on social media in such a way that it could become “an infringement on judicial independence,” Pratte explained.
Pratte said although he’s noticed since being appointed that surprises in the Senate are always possible, he expects the bill will pass. “I expect that once that is done, once the bill is adopted in committee with amendments, I expect that the Senate will deal with it expeditiously,” he said.
If the Senate passes C-337 with amendments in committee and at third reading, the Commons will then have to agree to the amended version before it can become law. The House is scheduled to rise June 21.

The Center for the Study of Slavery in Charleston has invited Tamara Lanier to deliver a lecture about her enslaved ancestors, whose naked or partially clothed bodies were forcibly photographed in 1850 outside of Columbia, SC, for a Harvard scientist, Louis Agassiz. Agassiz supported racist theories of polygenesis, and Harvard currently owns these photographs. You may be familiar with the court case Lanier has brought against Harvard to obtain the rights to these images. Her case foregrounds the need for legislation that protects the cultural property of descendants of chattel slavery in the United States. I hope you can attend and hear her speak about the importance of her family’s history and the ethical and legal matters regarding who gets to own, display, and view historical artifacts of slavery.

My Soul Is a Witness: The Traumatic Afterlife of Lynching by Mari N. Crabtree
Black southerners often shielded their loved ones from the most painful memories of local lynchings with strategic silences but also told lynching stories about vengeful ghosts or a wrathful God or the deathbed confessions of a lyncher tormented by his past. They protested lynching and its legacies through art and activism, and they mourned those lost to a mob’s fury. They infused a blues element into their lynching narratives to confront traumatic memories and keep the blues at bay, even if just for a spell. Telling their stories troubles the simplistic binary of resistance or submission that has tended to dominate narratives of Black life and reminds us that amid the utter devastation of lynching were glimmers of hope and an affirmation of life.
My Soul Is a Witness traces the long afterlife of lynching in the South through the traumatic memories it left in its wake. She unearths how African American victims and survivors found ways to live through and beyond the horrors of lynching, offering a theory of African American collective trauma and memory rooted in the ironic spirit of the blues sensibility—a spirit of misdirection and cunning that blends joy and pain.

This history of the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers is best viewed as the history of bands of lawless and unaccountable self-important do-gooders who have used the very general guidelines of the Clean Water Act to strip landowners, both private and corporate, of the ability to manage their lands. At times, these two agencies have decided that any body of water, no matter how ephemeral and removed from a permanent body of water was subject to regulation. Lest you think this is hyperbole, consider:
Mike and Chantell Sackett bought their land near a scenic lake for $25,000, but when they decided to build a property there in 2007, the EPA ordered a halt, saying the Clean Water Act requires that wetlands not be disturbed without a permit.
They’ve been fighting for the right to challenge the decision in court for several years, and facing millions of dollars in fines over the land.
The couple complained there was no reasonable way to challenge the order, and noted they don’t know why the EPA concluded there are wetlands on their lot, which is surrounded by a residential neighborhood with sewer lines and homes.
The EPA asserts jurisdiction basically over any temporary or permanent stream or wetland that eventually connects with a navigable waterway. In the 2006 case of Rapanos versus United States, Rapanos was fined and sentenced to jail for filling in intermittent wetlands over 20 miles from the nearest navigable waterway.
Since that time confusion has reigned with a divided Supreme Court producing three different decisions, one of which, naturally authored by Anthony Kennedy, is mostly incoherent and therefore the logical one for lower courts to apply.
Why farmers think #EPA goes too far. Clean Water Act protects waters from discharges that may harm water quality. https://t.co/GP1wr3Sddj
— Mac Pippin (@MacPippin) February 28, 2017
Today President Trump will order the EPA to rewrite its guidelines and ask them to use the reasoning used by Antonin Scalia in Rapanos as their basis.
President Donald Trump is poised to sign an executive order (EO) that will direct EPA to rewrite the contested Obama-era Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction rule using the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s narrower test for determining jurisdiction rather than the broader test from Justice Anthony Kennedy that the Obama EPA relied on.
Excerpts from a draft version of the order, first obtained by Axios, would direct EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to begin the process of reconsidering their 2015 joint rule. The agencies “shall consider interpreting the term ‘navigable waters,’ as defined in [the CWA], in a manner consistent with the opinion of Justice Antonin Scalia in Rapanos v. United States,” the draft order says.
This is the full text of the order:
What this does is freeze several court cases challenging the Waters of the United States rule. The EPA must promulgate a new rule and once that rule is in effect it will undoubtedly be attacked by environmental groups. The obvious solution here is for Congress to step in and revise the Clean Water Act (and the Clean Air Act) in such a way that the EPA has to stop abusing American citizens and arrogating the legislative and executive powers of the states to itself.

Saux may still be unknown to many, but his take on modern electronic music is bound to take him far. ‘LIWY’ – the latest track from the Amsterdam-based producer and DJ – is all the evidence you need, where his taste for alternative pop and tropical sounds comes to stunning fruition for 3 and a half minutes of delicious, warm music.
‘LIWY’ begins gently, with chiming melodies welcoming you in before a pounding beat takes over and leads the way. The track is wrapped up in inflating synth and rich, skewed guitar runs, somewhat reminiscent of the likes of Ben Khan or Jai Paul. Yet his sound is wholly his own, backed up with his brand of electronica that takes you from 80s disco soul right through to today’s burgeoning wave of electro-pop.
“LIWY came together very naturally. I was listening to records that had only a few elements but were really tight and heavily compressed. I wanted to recreate that warm saturated sound,” said Saux. “Lyrically the track is about distance in a relationship, and how you can be very much together whilst miles apart, but then far apart when you’re in the same room. It’s exciting for me to sing on my own tracks as it makes the emotional tie even stronger.”
With this being the first track to feature the producer’s own voice (along with vocals from a friend), we’re one step closer to understanding the enticing world of Saux – we can’t wait to see what comes next.
Download ‘LIWY’ here, out now via Cahors Recordings.


Today is Earth Day and Joe Biden, the US President, has invited leaders of 40 countries to come together for a two day zoom conference to discuss the climate emergency. Seventeen of the countries invited are responsible for 80% of carbon emissions in the world. Biden is expected to announce his commitment to halve the carbon emissions of the USA by the end of this decade. And he will be exhorting invitees, which include President Ji of China and President Putin of Russia, to follow his example. Why is this important for us health professionals?
Over the past 30 years we have been advocating for action to tackle the greatest health emergency humanity has ever faced—the ever worsening environmental damage caused both directly and indirectly by fossil fuels.
Many medical journals have carried articles showing how the requisite actions to reduce carbon emissions can have immediate health benefit, offering, in the jargon of the day, a “win win.” Over the past 15 years a number of coalitions of health professionals have come together to clarify the health benefits of action and to increase the leverage we can collectively exercise on decision makers. Prominent among these coalitions are the Global Climate and Health Alliance (GCHA), the World Organisation of Family Doctors (WONCA) and the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change (UKHACC).
There have been notable examples of health professional leadership, such as the Lancet Countdown project and the commitment from the NHS to get to carbon net zero by 2040. In addition, to give us all at least a chance of stabilising the global temperature at no greater the 1.5 degrees above the pre-industrial average, WONCA ,the GCHA, and the UKHACC have articulated the absolute necessity of the globe getting to net zero by 2040, and doing so in an equitable way guided by the framework of contraction and convergence. This is the best presently available framework for capping global carbon emissions and distributing the remaining allowance in an equitable way, so meeting the IPCC requirements of precaution and equity.
But the world is still on course for catastrophe: even with resurgent US action, countries have cut emissions too slowly and are failing to sign up to stringent emissions into the future, something which Biden is seeking to address. Current plans put us on course for a catastrophic 3C increase in warming by the end of the century.
So brave and rapid leadership at the highest level is clearly now required. President Biden’s initiative is an example of such leadership, and is founded on the unprecedented steps he is taking at home, including his proposed $2 trillion stimulus plan. This will usher in an era of public investment unseen since government action to rebuild after the Great Depression and WWII, and is a proportionate response to this planetary emergency. His leadership should attract the support of the health professional community. But the health community should also challenge it, being clear on the risks to health of false promises and stunted ambition. In light of covid-19 and the upcoming UN climate change conference (COP26) in the UK in November, this community has a particularly important role that it can, and should, play. So many of us have been on the frontline of the covid-19 crisis and we should use the larger public role—and the respect and trust revealed in survey after survey—to stiffen the resolve of world leaders in seeing off a far-worse crisis.
This should be done in two ways. Firstly, the 1.5C target must remain the abiding focus. Beyond this, we heighten the risks of triggering unmanageable, runaway change in the natural world which will burden societies with compounding destabilisation, bringing with it huge costs in terms of adaptation to heat extremes, lost harvests, and forced displacement.
This would be a dangerous, unstable world, in which we have squandered the “win-win” of realising more sustainable and healthy societies and in which the burden of mortality and morbidity is both extreme and unjust, falling on those who are least responsible for the problem and most vulnerable to its effects. The covid-19 crisis is a warning from the future in this regard. This is why UKHACC, WONCA, and GCHA have called for global emissions to be reduced to zero by 2040 and in an equitable way. A key test for leaders over this crucial year is whether they hide behind long term targets, instead of setting goals for 2025 or 2030, as well as 2050, and whether they propose credible plans and levels of investment to meet these targets, which don’t bet the future on the roll out of vast carbon-sucking technologies.
Secondly, countries with the greatest responsibility for carbon emissions—mostly high income countries—must transfer funds to countries that are most vulnerable to the impacts of the climate crisis, enabling them to adapt and prepare as well as reduce their emissions. As part of the Paris Agreement, wealthy countries agreed to provide $100bn in support for more vulnerable nations by 2020. They failed to do so and so the success of COP26 largely depends on a credible commitment to following through on this promise. Covid-19 provides parallels here, as well. Vaccine nationalism and a failure to adequately support the covid response in poorer nations, such as through debt relief, is a self-defeating folly: we are only as strong as our weakest parts. The same principle goes for the climate emergency. So healthcare professionals can and should use their voice to ask whether leaders are doing all they can to help the most vulnerable across the world, not just as a moral imperative, but as a practical strategy for shared survival.
This is a crucial year. As health professionals continue to battle the virus, we should use our voice to focus leaders’ minds on avoiding the next, worse health crisis—and to realise a better world in the process. Applauding President Biden’s brave initiative is a first step.

Dec. 27, 3 p.m., Washington, D.C. (ESPN)
San Jose State take by SoonerNation's Brandon Chatmon: SJSU has been one of the biggest surprises of the season, going 10-2 with losses at Stanford and Utah State. The Spartans opened eyes with their 20-17 season-opening loss to the Cardinal and won six straight games to end the season.
The Spartans bring a lethal passing attack to Washington, D.C., led by receiver Noel Grigsby, who finished with 73 receptions for 1,173 yards and nine touchdowns. He had back-to-back 100-yard games in wins over BYU and Louisiana Tech to end the regular season.
Worried about SJSU on the East Coast? The Spartans have a road win in all four time zones this season, including a 12-0 shutout of Navy in Annapolis, Md., on Sept. 29. It’s been a record-setting season for SJSU, which finished the regular season ranked No. 24 in the coaches and AP polls.
Bowling Green take by WolverineNation's Chantel Jennings: Bowling Green wasn’t the most effective offensive team in the MAC this season. The Falcons finished 10th in scoring offense and 11th in total offense and were led by a quarterback that somehow accounted for nearly 2,500 yards in the air despite a 56 percent completion mark and 12 interceptions.
But the Falcons got it done on defense.
They finished seventh in the FBS in total defense (289.7 yards per game) and ninth in the FBS in scoring defense (15.8 points per game). The mid-major quietly worked its way through the MAC, finishing second in the East Division.
Defensive tackle Chris Jones led the way for BGSU, recording 19 tackles for a loss and he accounted for a conference-high 12.5 sacks. The senior was named the MAC’s defensive player of the year, the fourth player in program history to be given the award.


31 Mar Gated STED is dead, long live Tau-STED!!
Now to perform STED images on our SP8-STED microscope, we do not sort photons by hardware gating anymore.
Thanks to the combination of the STED with the FALCON module allowing to measure lifetime, we can sort the photons according to their lifetime to have a more accurate selection of “useful” photons.
It also allows to decrease the background noise of the sample, so the signal to noise ratio is considerably improved.
The Tau-STED can allow us to decrease the power of depletion laser and thus be more compatible with the live imaging.
Don’t hesitate to contact us to test this new way of doing STED microscopy.

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has launched LEED for Healthcare, the latest version of its sustainability rating system.
The LEED for Healthcare system, for both new buildings and major renovations, can be applied to inpatient, outpatient and licensed long-term care facilities, medical offices, assisted living facilities and medical education and research centers.
The rating system passed a USGBC member ballot in November 2010. Although more than 225 healthcare projects have already received LEED certification under existing rating systems, the USGBC said that LEED for Healthcare will meet the unique needs of 24-hour operational facilities.
It addresses factors including process water use related to medical equipment; rural facility locations; patient populations, often with compromised immune systems; and sensitivity to chemicals and pollutants, the council said.
“Research has shown that when we are treated and heal in a green healthcare facility – one that has a healthy indoor environmental quality and connects us to the outdoors – we heal faster, have shorter hospital stays and fewer return visits,” the council’s senior vice president of LEED, Scot Horst, said. “LEED for Healthcare is now six years in the making, addressing the healthcare industry’s unique green building needs.”
The LEED for Healthcare system sprang out of collaboration between the USGBC and the Green Guide for Healthcare (GGHC), a project of the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems and Health Care Without Harm. The GGHC pilot launched in 2007, and the council said that feedback from that program helped inform the creation of LEED for Healthcare.
In the coming months the USGBC plans to launch tools and resources tied into the new rating system, including educational workshops, webinars, podcasts, and a reference guide.

Chronic High Blood Pressure
People who have chronic high blood pressure often have stiff and non-compliant arteries due to atherosclerosis. Who does this affects the following:
Blood flow through the arteries
Left ventricular afterload
How Stiff and Non-Compliant Arteries Due to Atherosclerosis Affects Blood Flow Through the Arteries
Arterial stiffness constitutes abnormal stiffening of the walls of large arteries that carries blood from the heart to major organs and parts of the body. High blood pressure leads to arterial stiffness, especially pulse pressure, by increasing pulsatile aortic wall stress accelerating elastin degradation (Ecobici & Stoicescu, 2017). Hypertension is considered an accelerated or severe form of vascular aging and degradation, leading to stiffening of the arteries. Atherosclerosis also contributes to arterial stiffness since it is characterized by the building up of a plague. The plague is composed of cellular waste, cholesterol, fatty substances, fibrin, and calcium. Accumulation of the plaque contributes to arterial thickening constricting the channel, and reducing the blood flow through the arteries (Bergheanu, Bodde, & Jukema, 2017). Arterial stiffness involves more than plaque formation and loss of suppleness of the artery resulting in the blood vessels being unable to properly regulate blood flow and blood pressure. Stiffening of the arteries also results in capillary damages. Damage of capillaries supplying nourishment to essential organs can result in organ failure.
Atherosclerosis damages the innermost layer of the arteries, which disrupts blood flow. Arteries are composed of three layers. The innermost layer of the artery is referred to as endothelium or tunica intima, followed by tunica media and tunica external. The three walls can constrict or narrow depending on the demands of the tissue in question. Any structural changes in arteries result in a reduction in aortic compliance. Compliance refers to the capacity and ability of a hollow vessel or organ to expand and increase in volume due to increased transmural pressure. Arteries with higher compliance translate to vessels that deform easier under pressure (Homan & Cichowski, 2019). Veins have higher compliance compared to arteries. Stiffness of the arteries decreases arterial compliance. Atherosclerosis causes the formation of a plague surrounded by a fibrous cap. The cap may tear or rupture, resulting in an injury to the arterial wall. A clot is formed in the artery to respond to the injury sealing the area (Bergheanu, Bodde, & Jukema, 2017). This may result in a heart attack due to complete blockage of blood flow into the heart muscles. Arterial blockage and non-compliance may result in poor circulation in the other parts of the body, such as the legs and the pelvis. Blockage of blood flow to the arteries supplying blood to the brain may result in a stroke. Arterial stiffness and non-compliance, therefore, affect blood flow through the artery by completely blocking the flow of blood or reducing blood flow through the arteries to other parts of the body. The results of the blockage vary depending on the part of the body affected and the severity of the stiffness causing total or partial blockage of blood supply in the body.
How Stiff and Non-Compliant Arteries Due to Atherosclerosis Affects Left Ventricular Afterload
Afterload is a term used to refer to the pressure that the heart functions against to eject blood during a ventricular contraction or systole and is usually proportional to the average pressure in the arteries (LaCombe & Lappin, 2019). An increase in the aortic and pulmonary pressure results in an increase in afterload in both the right and left ventricles. Changes in the afterload take place as a way of adapting to the changing demands of the cardiovascular system. The pressure exerted on the arteries’ walls is lowest if the blood vessels are of low stiffness and high compliance. A high compliant and elastic arterial wall generates a narrow pulse pressure. Low wall tension translates to a lower workload for the heart. Stiff and non-compliant arteries result in greater pulse pressure and increase the workload of the heart.
Elevated high blood pressure results in increased left ventricular afterload since the left ventricle has to work harder and under greater pressure to eject blood into the aorta. The left ventricle is required to generate a higher pressure greater than the pressure in the arteries to push the blood into the aorta. Stiff and non-compliant arteries generate a higher pressure than the normal pressure hence an increase in left ventricular afterload to pump the blood into the aorta. Increased left ventricular afterload facilitates the opening of the aortic valve due to the pressure gradient created by the stenotic and calcified aortic valve (LaCombe & Lappin, 2019). The increased afterload increases the workload of the ventricles. Long-term increased workload results in hypertrophy. Left ventricular hypertrophy refers to the thickening of the muscles of the ventricle due to the progressive workload. Left ventricular hypertrophy is a risk factor for diastolic and systolic heart failure and sudden death in patients suffering from high blood pressure.
Elevated blood pressure increases stress on the walls of the arteries, accelerating elastin degradation resulting in non-compliance. Atherosclerosis, on the other hand, contributes to stiff arteries due to the presence of plaque. The results of stiffness and reduced compliance are decreased blood circulation or complete blockage of blood depending on the severity of the stiffness as it may result in a blood clot. It also increases left ventricular afterload as the ventricles generate high pressure to push blood into the narrow aorta.

Understanding School Safety and the Intersections of Race, Ethnicity, and Sexual Orientation
Russell, S. T.,
Clarke, T. J.,
Year Published: 2009
Number of Pages:
California Safe Schools Coalition
Safe Schools Research Brief 10
Studies show that harassment at school based on a student’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or a student’s racial or ethnic identity is strongly linked to negative health outcomes and lower academic achievement. However, few studies have examined the intersections of harassment based on race/ethnicity and harassment based on sexual orientation. These authors used data from the Preventing School Harassment survey to explore bias-based harassment and school safety for students of color and students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). They found strong racial and ethnic group differences in reports of bias-based harassment at school for all students. LGBT students experienced bullying due to their sexual orientation the most, but also experienced other forms of bias-based harassment. There was significant overlap in race-based and sexual orientation-based harassment; nearly a third of students who were bullied experienced both types of harassment, and this group reported the lowest feelings of safety at school.

The Ghana Premier League (GPL) returned this afternoon, and wasn’t short of excitement, as teams battled it out at both ends of the table. We bring you a recap of what transpired at the various league centres.
Hearts of Oak 0-3 Wa All Stars
The result of the day came at the Accra Sports Stadium as Accra Hearts of Oak succumbed to a shock 0-3 defeat at the hands of Wa All Stars.
The first goal came as early as the 2nd minute, when Samuel Boateng side-footed home with All Star’s first attack.
The second and third goals came in the 50th and 58th minutes respectively, courtesy Ganiu Ishmael and Paul de Vries.
The loss could mean that Hearts lose further grounds on Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Ashgold, who are yet to play their matches.
The last time Hearts of Oak lost by three goals at the Accra Sports Stadium was in 2004 against Liberty Professionals, but it was the scientific soccer lads who were playing at home.
Fans of the Phobians were spotted calling for the dismissal of Mohammed Polo, who hasn’t enjoyed a positive campaign ever since his appointment.
New Edubiase 1-0 Aduana Stars
New Edubiase United relieved themselves off some pressure at the lower end of the league with a tight 1-0 victory over Aduana at the Bekwai Park in Bekwai.
Nuhu Fuseini was the hero on the day, as he sealed the three points for Edubiase with a second half strike.
The goal came early in the second half after both sides struggled to break each other down in the first half.
The home team kept up the pressure to maintain their lead, and limited Aduana to a series of counter-attacks which didn’t yield positive results.
The victory means New Edubiase have now won five, drawn two and lost only once at the Bekwai Park this season, and in the process leapfrogging Aduana Stars in the standings.
Hasaacas 0-0 Amidaus Profesionals
Amidaus Professionals did nothing to boost their chances of survival as they drew blanks against Hasaacas in Sekondi.
Both sides fought hard to break the deadlock, but to no avail, as they cancelled each other out time and time again.
Amidaus may look on this result as a positive one, considering their horrendous form coming into the game.
Hasaacas looked to impose their physical strength on the game, as Amidaus tried to outwit them by keeping a large share o possession.
The draw leaves the Sekondi based club in 5th position for the time being, while Amidaus continue to struggle in the relegation zone.
Hearts of Lions 2-0 Liberty Professionals
Kpando Hearts of Lions moved up to third on the table with a convincing 2-0 victory over Liberty Professionals.
The first goal came in the 28th minute courtesy Kojo Poku, with Isaac Quansah getting the second close to the 60th minute mark.
The game was largely dominated by the hosts, as Liberty struggled to make any meaningful incursions on their opponents’ goal.
The Kpando based club started the day in 4th position, but moved up the log to replace Hearts of Oak who lost heavily to Wa All Stars.
Liberty will be wary of the fact that they could be pulled right into the relegation do-fight after their loss.
Bechem United 2-0 King Faisal
Bechem United made the most of their home advantage, as they went defeated King Faisal 2-0 in Bechem.
The defeat leaves Faisal two points above the relegation zone, with Bechem United leapfrogging them in the standings.
Noah Nartey put the home team in front before James Papa Yaw added the second to hand them all three points.

At least not if this situation has been repeated all over the country. With amateur home swappers -- oops, I mean "investors" -- obtaining inflated financing and simply pocketing the cash, and neighbors so anchored to what "the other guy just sold for," I think we have a long way left before we find the bottom. And it doesn't take outright fraud to skew prices.
I've long been skeptical about the National Association of Realtors' tired party line about a soft landing, as home prices are not being adjusted to reflect the major givebacks desperate sellers were offering in order to attract buyers, from expensive kitchen remodels to luxury cars. There's an entire industry out there with an enormous vested interest in duping the public into believing that the unprecedented rise in home values was entirely natural and warranted. And now we're expected to believe that the worst is over. I think we ain't seen nothing yet.
That will pinch plenty of naive consumers who bought too much with fancy financing. What could it mean for loansters like Countrywide Financial

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Chicago Bears' started by Smoking Jay, Sep 4, 2013.
And lets not forget about Basketball:
he's just bitter. after some time he'll start being better, he has too much respect for Briggs, Tillman, Peppers, etc and the bears organization. I think he'll be fine after some time.
Here is my favorite flop
What he said is not new. He is new to broadcasting and trying to make a name for himself, as open and honest. To report YOUR team did it is a stretch, but makes him HONEST to the market. I hate he used the Bears as an example, but it is true. Who cares now right? LOL, LMAO OK everyone still does. Someone said he should step away a few years then take up what he started, with that I do agree. Maybe his pain IS being directed at the HURT.
That'd be pretty funny if that was his way of trying to prove to the league that his knee is just fine.
So Brian, who was the designated injury guy on the Bears?
(BU looks around and motions the reporter to come closer).. me. My knee is fine. Dont tell anyone.
That would be some Kaiser Soze stuff, if it turned out all this "trash talking" he's been doing against the Bears, and then talks of injuries were just he and the organization making it look like they want nothing to do with each other, and then week one, he's suited up and ready for play. It turns out later that the Bears had him signed all along, and gave him all the time he needed to get ready for the field. It's not in the realm of possibility, but god *****, every other game (including the 3:30 games) would be interrupted to show JUST THE BEARS, as Urlacher used the time off to use Elephant grade steroids, and single handedly pushes back the entire Bengals offensive line into and onto Andy Dalton, at which point he takes his helmet off and tells him "If this next pass isn't a pick 6, you better have good life insurance." Again, not gonna happen, but this is MY dream of the way the NFL should work.
Might be the post of the year!
Hey Brian, if they wanted to delay the game due to injury, maybe you should have done more of this...
Is he dead?
His career is
I think Favre was just faking it there, so his team could rest. Cutler did this a lot too, when J'Marcus needed a breather.
It's a thought, but I really don't think Cutty was faking it. Those guys blew by Webb so fast they hit Cutler full speed. That's a lot of momentum to absorb.
I think Cutty tied Webb's shoe laces to give him a breather. I know as I get older - and my belly gets bigger - it takes more and more breath away when I bend over to tie my shoes....
You should use this in your writing class if you have one.
that was the then rookie Corey Wootton's hit on favre..
Regardless of the whole Urlacher bitterness talk, this isn't a new tactic and it's not going away. This is just part of the game that happens from high school on up and it's not nearly as bad as flopping in basketball or diving in soccer. Kids all around the Chicago area made regular use of this tactic against a team like Mt. Carmel or Joliet Catholic just to slow down the destruction they delivered, no big deal, IMHO.
Yes, it was, and that was my point... :)
Urlacher is just mad we weren't stupid enough to pay him the $12 million dollar contract he wanted. Plain and simple.
I literally lol'd
I just realized:
A Packer ends a Chicago Bear's season/chance at a SB (You know what scumbag I'm talking about)
A Bear ends a Minnesota Vikings' season/career
The Vikings ended the Packers' season in the playoffs
The Packers ended the Bears' season in the playoffs
And the Detroit Lions ended his own season (Orlovsky)
Doesn't it seem that ONE of these teams doesn't really understand what a rivalry is?

Malaysia Airlines turns flight safety video into star-studded musical
Who says in-flight safety videos have to be boring? Malaysia Airlines (MAB) brings a Malaysian musical touch to its new flight safety video titled “Satu, Dua, Tiga, Jom!” by blending Malaysian arts, culture and music with aviation safety. The in-flight video begins with a backdrop of harmonic melodies as its Malaysian cabin crew and performers, draped in Malaysian tradition baju kebayainvite passengers to watch a safety demonstration video.
They then proceed to demonstrate eight easy-to-follow steps on safety do’s and don’ts in a musical narration by prominent Malaysian personalities and figures, including Olympic gymnasts, rock bands and Harimau Malaya Football Club. Malaysian Airlines has decided to take a different approach to its in-flight video, engaging its passengers with a refreshing musical instead of the usual serious-toned safety videos.
The video was directed by producer and founder of The Dernieriti Creative Universe, Tiara Jacqueline, and co-directed by actor and director Yusry Abdul Halim. The video features cameos including Dr. Mazlan Othman, Malaysia’s first astrophysicist; Farah Ann Abdul Hadi, artistic gymnast; Dr. Jemilah Mahmood, founder of MERCY Malaysia; and Francisca Luhong, Miss Universe Malaysia 2020 among others. The new concept aligns with the new way consumers work and travel and aims to showcase Malaysia’s diversity while emphasizing the importance of on-board safety. The video will be shown on planes starting in August this year.
Lau Yin May, Director of Marketing and Customer Experience of MAB Group, explained that the new in-flight safety video is part of MAB’s efforts to improve passengers’ in-flight experience to make their journey with the even more memorable airline.
“As a national carrier, we have always strived to support our national heroes and brands through our extensive partnership in sports, CSR initiatives, performing arts, local businesses and many more. , as we share a collective responsibility to serve our nation and our flag with pride every day,” she said. Jacqueline said they were touring for three intensive days and nights with a crew of 150 performers, a technical team as well as Yusry Halim, with the MAB team, while observing the Ramadan fast.
MAB isn’t the only airline to put a different spin on its flight safety video. In 2017, Singapore Airlines, for example, rolled out a video that takes viewers on a scenic journey through various locations in Singapore beyond the traditional space of an airplane cabin. The film features the Singapore girl traveling to familiar sights in Singapore such as Boat Quay, Intan Peranakan House Museum, Henderson Waves and Gardens by the Bay. At each location, she encounters different characters engaged in different activities that “creatively demonstrate” the safety guidelines.
Meanwhile, Air New Zealand released its new flight safety video in May featuring the story of Tiaki, a young man who boards a flying canoe and sets off on an adventure through Aotearoa. With the help of Air New Zealand and Julie (a character who embodies the rest of New Zealand), he visits four Maori guardians including Papatūānuku (the land), Tangaroa (the sea), Tāne Mahuta (the forest) and Ranginui (the sky). Along the way, he seeks advice from these Guardians on how best to deal with them.
The airline worked closely with the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute to design the waka and its carvings. From there it was transported to the various filming locations and transported on cables to create real shadows and textures for post-production. In 2014, the airline celebrated the third and final film in The Hobbit trilogy – The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies with the most epic safety video ever starring Elijah Wood and Peter Jackson.
Separately, British Airways also infused humor into its safety video in 2017, partnering with Comic Relief and celebrities such as Ian McKellen, Rowan Atkinson, Gordon Ramsay and Chiwetel Ejiofor, among others.

New Pluto Pictures Are Out Of This World
Today NASA released close-up images of Pluto that are as revelatory as they are beautiful.
"Pluto is showing us a diversity of landforms and complexity of processes that rival anything we've seen in the solar system," said New Horizons Principal Investigator Alan Stern, according to NASA. "If an artist had painted this Pluto before our flyby, I probably would have called it over the top — but that's what is actually there."
The latest views are based on high-resolution images from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft and show what the surface of the planet would look like from 1,100 miles away. NASA writes:
"New Horizons began its yearlong download of new images and other data over the Labor Day weekend. Images downlinked in the past few days have more than doubled the amount of Pluto's surface seen at resolutions as good as 400 meters (440 yards) per pixel. They reveal new features as diverse as possible dunes, nitrogen ice flows that apparently oozed out of mountainous regions onto plains, and even networks of valleys that may have been carved by material flowing over Pluto's surface. They also show large regions that display chaotically jumbled mountains reminiscent of disrupted terrains on Jupiter's icy moon Europa.
"'The surface of Pluto is every bit as complex as that of Mars,' said Jeff Moore, leader of the New Horizons Geology, Geophysics and Imaging (GGI) team at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. 'The randomly jumbled mountains might be huge blocks of hard water ice floating within a vast, denser, softer deposit of frozen nitrogen within the region informally named Sputnik Planum.'"
See all of the new Pluto pictures here. Follow NASA on Twitter to see photos on Pluto's moons that will be released Friday.
