We all know that Latin America is this year’s big food trend in London. Hot on the heels of Cabana, the Brazilian mini-chain at sites in Westfield and St Giles, are Peruvian restaurants Ceviche in Frith Street and Lima London in Fitzrovia; and then there’s Sushi Samba in the City, which fuses Brazilian and Peruvian cooking with the influences of the region’s Japanese population.
And now, as Brazil’s 2012 Carnival approaches, the capital’s original Brazilian restaurant, bar and nightclub, Guanabara, is limbering up yet again for its 8th annual 6-day Carnival, a celebration of life, love and music, which kicks off on Thursday 16 February.
Expect Brazilian bands and DJs, samba dancers, Capoeira performers, a masked ball, great happy hours, free dance lessons and even extended opening hours.
“Carnival at Guanabara is the closest you can get to actually being in Rio or Salvador,” says resident DJ Limao. “The homesick Brazilians descend upon us and party with a contagious, non-stop energy that transforms the cold London February weather and infects our English customers with the heat, passion and joy of the greatest Carnival on earth.”
▪ The 25-strong Ritmos De Cidade take to the stage
▪ A Masque Ball featuring Paraiso Samba School and DJ Limao’s samba marathon
▪ A fantastic night of Forro featuring Zeu Azevedo & Forródaqui Band
▪ Carnival Carioca (Rio’s Carnival) with a performance from Minibloco & DJ Fred Salgueiro

In A Nutshell:
- Despite the significant progress made in reducing tobacco use over the last few decades, smoking and tobacco use are still extremely costly from an individual health and economic perspective.
- Michigan spends dramatically less on tobacco cessation programs than the CDC recommends, despite evidence that more funding could reduce smoking rates even further.
- Michigan should prioritize expanding tobacco prevention and cessation efforts.
Tobacco control has long been touted as a public health success story, yet tobacco use remains one of the most significant public health issues across the United States. While Michigan, like every state, continues to enact policies that aim to reduce the rate of smoking and tobacco use, funding for tobacco prevention campaigns is exceptionally low. Relative to the amount of tobacco-related tax revenue -Michigan collects over a billion dollars in revenue from cigarette sales every year – a very small amount is appropriated for tobacco prevention programs. While a wide range of laws and regulations have been enacted over the last several decades to successfully reduce smoking rates, increasing funding for tobacco prevention programs is the policy option that has the most potential to drive down tobacco use in Michigan in the coming years.
Existing Tobacco Control Policy
Reducing the rates of smoking and tobacco consumption has been one of the country’s most well-known public health achievements. Through a combination of substantive policy changes and socio-cultural shifts in attitudes towards smoking, the United States has made considerable progress in tobacco control. Tobacco use nationally has been declining generally since the first Surgeon General report on the adverse effects of smoking was released in 1964, and cigarette use reached an all-time low in 2019. While smoking rates fell consistently for adults, youth rates saw a significant rise in the 1990s. Following additional targeted policy changes enacted in the late 1990s, such as tax increases, indoor smoking bans, and anti-smoking campaigns, the youth rate dropped as well.
The effort to reduce smoking was tackled from several different policy angles that aimed to change people’s behaviors and attitudes regarding smoking. Statutory changes regarding the cost of cigarettes, smoke-free air, packaging, and advertising, along with cultural mass media campaigns and public education, fueled much of the decline in cigarette use. The federal government and many states responded relatively quickly to the continued release of scientific evidence on the negative health effects of smoking. The first law requiring the labeling of cigarette packages with health warnings was enacted in 1965, one year after the release of the first Surgeon General report. Over the next decade, as more information regarding second-hand smoke was released, several states began to place restrictions on smoking in public places, government buildings, and airplanes. By the late 1980s, several bans were in place.
Along with these changes, many states and the federal government enacted significant increases to the excise taxes levied on tobacco products in the mid-1990s. Decades of research have shown that taxation is effective at reducing cigarette use, and can be particularly effective for teens. Further, while restrictions on advertising were first enacted in the 1970s, more aggressive and targeted restrictions were enacted in the late 1990s following the sharp rise in teen smoking rates. Additional policy changes in the 21st century, including increased funding for scientific research and a focus on public education, led to a plethora of anti-smoking campaigns and helped to further reduce the incidence of smoking among adults and teens.
Michigan began enacting laws related to tobacco use in the late 1980s and has continued to regulate various policies related to smoking, including smoke-free indoor air protection, protecting youth from accessing tobacco, creating excise taxes on tobacco products, and other regulations on advertising. Most recently, Michigan followed the federal government’s lead and enacted a legislative package that raised the state age for tobacco sales from 18 to 21. Michigan also spends state and federal dollars on tobacco prevention programs, including the Michigan Tobacco Quitline program, which provides phone and online coaching services to individuals.
Despite Major Successes, Smoking Remains a Problem in Michigan
While Michigan’s adult smoking rate has been declining regularly over the past few decades, it has consistently remained higher than the national average; a trend that reflects Michiganders engaging in more negative health behaviors than the rest of the country. In 2021, the adult smoking rate in Michigan was 17 percent, compared to 14 percent nationally. Neighboring states, including Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Indiana, have similar or lower rates. Adult e-cigarette use was also slightly higher than the national average in 2021 (7.6 percent compared to 6.6 percent). The rate of high schoolers in Michigan that smoke cigarettes (1.7 percent) is slightly below the national average (2.0 percent), while the rate of high schoolers in Michigan who use e-cigarettes (14 percent) is on par with the national average. Overall, a substantial portion of the Michigan population still uses tobacco products.
The health and economic impacts of smoking are significant. In 2023, cigarette use accounted for over 16,000 deaths in Michigan, with an additional 1,740 deaths from second-hand smoke. Tobacco kills more people in Michigan per year than drug overdoses, auto accidents, murders, and suicides combined, and over 30 percent of cancer deaths in Michigan are attributable to smoking. In addition, smoking causes a range of illnesses, including lung cancer, ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and stroke, and even small exposure to second-hand smoke can cause heart damage.
The annual health care costs in Michigan related to smoking total $5.3 billion, including ambulatory care, nursing home care, prescription drugs, home health services, and durable medical equipment. The state spends $1.46 billion through its Medicaid program to address smoking-related costs (approximately 27.4 percent of the state’s total smoking-related health care costs are incurred by Medicaid recipients). The state and federal tax burden on residents in Michigan for government expenditures related to smoking total $1,140 per household. These figures also only represented the health care-related costs and do not include indirect costs, such as lost productivity and wages due to sick days taken as a result of tobacco use. While progress has been made, smoking and tobacco use remains a considerable public health problem that has significant social and economic costs.
Next Steps in Tobacco Control Policy
Several options are available to Michigan policymakers to further reduce tobacco use. The American Lung Association reviews state regulations on tobacco control and provides letter grades to each state in its annual State of Tobacco Control report. Michigan received poor grades (ranging from C to F) in all five policy areas in 2023, which include tobacco prevention funding, smoke-free air laws, access to cessation services, taxation, and restricting flavored tobacco products. In some of these areas, however, very few states scored well. While the grades are subjective, they inform potential policy solutions to strengthen tobacco regulation and improve public health. Advocacy groups and others have made a number of recommendations to improve Michigan’s tobacco control policy, including licensing all tobacco retailers, including e-cigarette retailers; prohibiting flavorings for tobacco products; and bringing excise tax parity to non-cigarette forms of tobacco. While there is evidence to suggest these types of policies are likely to reduce tobacco use, most states are still figuring out how to balance the trade-offs between the public health value of these proposals and the restrictions and financial burdens they place on individuals.
However, funding for tobacco prevention programs is the one area in which Michigan is clearly behind the curve relative to other states. State spending on tobacco prevention has gone down considerably in the last two decades. In FY2023, the state spent $1.8 million on these programs, which is only 3.8 percent of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-recommended level. CDC’s spending targets are based on their recommendations for spending in five different areas of tobacco prevention, which are influenced by many factors including general population demographics, smoking rates, public health worker wages, the geographic size of the state, advertising costs in the state’s media markets, and number of smokers calling helplines. The FY2024 state budget added an additional $1.5 million to this effort, but it is one-time funding. While most states fall below the recommended level, Michigan ranked 49th in state spending on tobacco prevention programs in 2023.
Michigan collects a significant amount of revenue from taxes on tobacco products, yet very little of this revenue is used on tobacco prevention programs. In 2014, the CDC recommended a total annual state investment of $111 million based off the state’s revenue collected from tobacco sales and settlements in 2012, with a minimum $76.9 million allocated across five programmatic areas. At that time, funding a comprehensive tobacco prevention program at the recommended level would have required nine percent of the total tobacco revenue from the amount of taxes and settlement revenue collected. The proportion of recommended funding to tobacco revenue remains roughly the same in 2023 (9.5 percent), while the minimum level would require less than seven percent.
Revenue collected specifically from tobacco taxes totaled $796.7 million in FY2022. This money is distributed to several agencies and programs, with most of the revenue going to the Medicaid Benefits Trust Fund, the State School Aid Fund, and the General Fund. The state should consider some reallocation of this funding for tobacco control programs, as the Healthy Michigan Fund, which administers the prevention programs, is more likely to see a return on investment.
Further, the tobacco industry continues to outspend the state government on tobacco marketing in Michigan – tobacco industries spend an estimated $323.8 million annually on marketing. This means that for every $1 the state spends in tobacco prevention, the tobacco industry is spending about $180 on marketing. Tobacco marketing is notorious for its aggressive and predatory tactics, especially towards youth. Leaving Michigan financially ill-equipped to combat this kind of marketing leaves the state’s residents largely unprotected from counter-messaging.
Research has consistently demonstrated that tobacco prevention programs are effective. Many studies show that comprehensive tobacco prevention programs that incorporate CDC best practices effectively reduce tobacco use. Several states have documented successful outcomes in reducing tobacco use, particularly in reducing tobacco use among teens. Florida, a state that invests considerably more in tobacco prevention programs (about 41 percent of the CDC’s recommended level), reported that its high school smoking rate fell to 3.6 percent in 2018.
The reduction in tobacco use from prevention programs creates significant cost-savings for the state and saves money in the long run. The Michigan Tobacco Quit Line projects that it has saved state residents between $454.7 and $655.5 million in total lifetime medical expenditures and lost productivity costs. Further, it is estimated that for every smoker that successfully quits, their cost-savings to themselves can be as high as $1,820 per year.
The research and guidance on tobacco prevention programs are well-established. The CDC provides best practices for comprehensive tobacco prevention programs that cover a wide range of topics, including health communications, health equity, cessation, program infrastructure, and youth engagement. If Michigan invests in comprehensive programs, the state can work towards several of its stated goals, which include identifying and eliminating tobacco-related health disparities, and preventing initiation among youths and young adults.
Michigan has both the evidence-based guidance and the funding to implement more robust tobacco control programs. Unlike other potential policy solutions to tobacco use, smoking prevention efforts do not inhibit an individual’s freedom, nor does it require any unfair financial hardships. Michigan collects enough money from tobacco sales and settlements to, at the very least, increase the amount of funding for tobacco prevention programs to the minimum CDC recommended level. It is more a matter of reallocating those public resources and making prevention programs a higher public health priority. Deciding where to spend public money always involves trade-offs, but investing in tobacco prevention is a proven approach that saves the state money and, more importantly, prevents pre-mature deaths.

Harley-Davidson is recalling about 46,000 Electra Glide, Ultra Limited, Police Electra Glide, Street Glide, Road Glide and Road King models from 2014 and 2015 over an issue with its clutch assembly.
The affected motorcycles have potentially defective clutch master cylinders that may fail to fully disengage the clutch when the machines are in gear — especially if they have been parked “for an extended period of time,” the NHTSA of USA said — increasing the risk of a crash. A rider could lose control of a bike if it was started in gear. Harley-Davidson Motor Company said in its press release that gas bubbles can cause the clutch malfunction. Harley Davidson dealers will flush the clutch and rebuild the part of that is affected by the problem – the clutch master cylinder.
The problem was found through customer complaints. So far, some accidents and minor injuries have been associated with the defect, but no fatalities.
The Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer said in confirming the recall notice that it wanted to extend an apology to Harley riders. “First and foremost, we apologize to our customers for this issue,” the company said in a statement. “We’re riders, too, so share in the frustration. Customer safety is our first priority.”
In a second, smaller campaign, Harley is also recalling around 9,000 units of the 2015 XG500 and XG750. Some of these motorcycles might not be manufactured with a rear reflector assembly, and therefore they don’t meet federal guidelines in the USA. Dealers will install the part for affected owners.
No word on whether these recalls affect Harleys sold in India yet. To be on the safe side though, we recommend that you give your local Harley dealership a call stat.

Internet usage is often associated with teenagers overindulging in computer games, but it may have health benefits for older users. New research shows that older internet users are more likely to take part in colorectal cancer screening projects than non-users.
Both the American Cancer Society and the UK's NHS show that colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and that both Americans and Brits face a 1 in 20 chance of developing the disease.
They also point out that the death rate from this disease has been dropping for the past 20 years, citing screening as one of the most likely reasons.
Research published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention this month shows that English men and women aged 50 and over who are consistent internet users are twice as likely to participate in screening programs than non-users.
Data collected from 5,943 respondents to the English Longitudinal Study of Aging - a large, population-based cohort study - also showed that consistent users do not conform to the stereotypical image of computer users as couch potatoes. The study show that they are:
Surprisingly though, the research did not show any association between internet use and women attending breast cancer screening.
The English Longitudinal Study of Aging collects multidisciplinary data covering health, economic position and quality of life from people aged 50.
The first data was collected in 2002 and has been followed-up in waves every 2 years until 2011. Respondents were asked about their internet and email use, any cancer screening and what, if any, regular physical exercise they did.
Of the participants, 41% reported not using the internet, 38% used the internet during waves one to three and were classed as intermittent users. Consistent users, people who reported using the internet in all five waves, accounted for just over 20%.
Christian von Wagner, PhD, from University College London and lead author of the study, says:
"We accounted for sociodemographic factors that influence internet use and various measures of physical capabilities and cognitive function that decline with age, and still found an association between internet use and cancer-preventive behaviors."
"The interesting aspect here is a dose-response relationship between internet use and cancer preventive-behaviors: Intermittent users were more likely to have cancer-preventive behaviors than never-users, and consistent users were more likely to have cancer-preventive behaviors than intermittent users."
Researchers noted that internet use was higher in younger, wealthier, more educated white males, compared with older, less wealthy, and nonwhite individuals with physical disabilities.
Professor von Wagner says:
"It is important that policymakers recognize the role internet use plays in influencing inequalities in cancer outcomes, and help increase access to the internet among this demographic."
Interestingly, Medical News Today reported that 1 in 3 Americans used the internet to diagnose symptoms, but disappointingly, research in December last year showed the number of Americans participating in cancer screening programs has fallen.

President Donald Trump has not yet responded to James Comey’s Capitol Hill testimony today, but the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., has been tweeting up a storm mocking the former FBI director.
First, Trump Jr. retweeted a post quoting James Comey’s statement that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch asked him to refer to the Hillary Clinton email probe as a “matter” and not an “investigation,” with this tweet suggesting that this was obstruction of justice.
Trump Jr. then responded to a tweet from the @GOP account which made note of the fact that James Comey said that Russia did not change any votes on Election Day.
Trump Jr. also retweeted a tweet responding to Comey saying that it’s “not for me to say” whether President Trump obstructed justice; the tweet that the president’s son retweeted said, “In other words, he didn’t.”
Next, the president’s son offered a few thoughts of his own, saying that the “Flynn stuff is BS” and that Trump saying that he wants Comey to let the Flynn investigation go is “very far from any kind of coercion or influence.” In addition, Trump Jr. suggests that if his father truly was ordering Comey to do something, Comey would know it.
Trump Jr. went on to say that there is a distinction between hoping and telling, referring to the fact that Comey says Trump said he hoped Comey could let the Michael Flynn investigation go; those on the right have argued that this is different from Trump ordering Comey to drop the investigation. The president’s son also quoted Comey as saying that he could be wrong.
Trump Jr. then mocked Comey for saying that he might have told the president that what he was doing was wrong if he were a stronger person.
At one point in the testimony, Marco Rubio made note of the fact that there were never any leaks of the fact that Donald Trump is not personally under investigation. Trump Jr. said that nobody “in the swamp” would leak anything favorable to his father.
Responding to a tweet that D.C. reporters aren’t tweeting reactions to Comey’s comments that many stories he has been reading in the media are inaccurate, Trump Jr. said, “I wonder why that is??”
Soon, Donald Trump Jr. retweeted multiple tweets from Alan Dershowitz questioning why James Comey did not speak up about what Trump did as soon as the conversations took place.
Trump Jr. had a particularly strong reaction to James Comey saying that he instructed a friend of his, Daniel Richman, to leak a memo to a reporter in order to prompt a special prosecutor appointment. He said that this is Washington, D.C. at its finest.
Getting back to the idea that James Comey confirmed that Donald Trump is not under investigation personally, Donald Trump Jr. said that it’s weird that more people aren’t talking about this. He also highlighted Comey’s statement that votes were not changed on Election Day.
Trump Jr. subsequently questioned why James Comey continued to talk with Donald Trump if he was so concerned about Trump’s behavior.
Circling back to the idea that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch allegedly told James Comey to refer to the Hillary Clinton investigation as a “matter” and not an “investigation,” Trump Jr. said that this is a big problem.
Trump Jr. soon tweeted a link to a news article saying that Comey had debunked reporting from The New York Times.
President Donald Trump himself still has not offered any sort of response to the Comey hiring.

“Family & Friends” may be the debut EP from Mochii, but it’s been a long time coming. The Louisiana native, known to his actual family and friends as Kwame Hawkins, has been preparing for his introduction to the world of music since he started rapping when he was just eight years old. In the subsequent years he eventually taught himself to play piano and compose his own music. He first started working with his hometown friends, Creators of Dope Entertainment (C.O.D.E.).
Mochii decided to branch out on his own, but for that he needed money. Coming from humble beginnings he felt the only way he could get the capital was by joining the United States Army. So that’s what he did. After paying his dues with Uncle Sam for four long years, he got out. “I realized that I didn’t want to work for anybody anymore. I hated always being on someone else’s schedule. I got out, moved to Houston and began to pursue my career in music.”
In Texas his unique talents found friendly collaborators in the engineers and producers working in Houston’s world renowned recording studios. In 2019 he dropped his first single, “Papers.” Now Mochii is kicking off the new decade with a three song set that showcases his cool brand of soulful melodic Hip-Hop. As a composer, Hawkins has an innately Jazzy R&B groove. And as a rapper, his style combines the best of the old school and new.
The record opens with the appropriately titled, “Groove.” He sets the mood early with some nice analog synth sounds. As soon as Mochii starts dropping rhymes, it is clear we’re in for something special. His quirky and cool style harkens back to pioneers of hippie stoner-rap like De La Soul and Q-Tip. But his is not a retro sound. He brings modern production style in as well. This mix of the past and the present combine to make something new… future music.
“Leave Home” is an autobiographical tale of Kwame’s journey to where he is going. His rapid-fire rap technique over a slow jam groove is a real mood. It is impressive and unusual for an artist to arrive on his debut record with such a fully formed well-defined sound.
The third and final track, “Top” is probably my favorite. Mochii highlights every one of his strengths first hinted at on the previous two tracks. From the mellow Jazz bass line, to syncopated percussion, R&B riffs and the rapper’s own cool flow that manages to be both laid back and high-energy. Vocally he shifts rhythms back and forth, inside and out. And he makes it sound easy. On the track he raps, “I’m on a roll, so get out my lane.” Believe that.
Check out Mochii on the Deep Indie Beat playlist. And follow the links below to connect with the artist. Stay in the know on all of his current and future releases.

Now that summer is almost upon us, many people are booking holidays abroad and will need to know how the implementation of the recent laptop ban affects them. On 21st March 2017, the UK government announced a ban on laptops and tablets over a certain size, on passenger flights from specific airports and countries. The ban evolved from discussion with the US, who announced a similar ban earlier on the same day. This action may be viewed by many as an inevitable necessity, whilst others may see it as scaremongering. Whatever the case, it is important to know the facts.
The new arrangements dictate that laptops, phones and tablets larger than 16cm long, 9.3cm wide or 1.5cm deep are now banned in hand luggage. All flights to the UK from the following countries will be affected: Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. Six of the major UK airlines are now enforcing the ban, including: British Airways, easyJet, Jet2.com, Monarch, Thomas Cook and Thomson. Eight overseas carriers are also affected: Turkish Airlines, Pegasus Airways, Atlas-Global Airlines, Middle East Airlines, Egyptair, Royal Jordanian, Tunis Air and Saudia.
Government representatives have evaded the exact reason as to why this specific ban, from these specific countries, has now come into effect, but there has been recognition of its relation to terrorism: ‘I know the House will recognise that we face a constantly evolving threat from terrorism and must respond accordingly to ensure the protection of the public against those who would do us harm’.
The naming of certain countries indicates the highly strategic nature of this decision. The ban was announced before the recent Manchester and London attacks and so, we must assume it has been in the works for some time.
We ought to ask: will this have any real impact? On the one hand, the ban reduces certain risks. There may be unimaginable benefits of which the general public will remain unaware. Many people will be glad to see action, so feelings of security may increase. On the other hand, the mere fact this is necessary could worsen many other people’s fears and exacerbate feelings of uncertainty. It is also important to note this statement from security officials on gov.uk: ‘We will not hesitate to put in place measures we believe are necessary, effective and proportionate’. We cannot ignore that the implementation of this ban may increase unwarranted notions of prejudice. It may also further sentiments of distrust from the public towards those in power, the results of which will be made apparent on Friday 09.06.17.
Although this ban will affect anyone flying from these destinations, those to whom the impacts of the ban will be most severe are business people travelling abroad. Many professionals require their laptops and other devices so that they may work on the plane. These devices can be carried in cabin baggage, so people are able to take them aboard, but this comes with other risks. Firstly, depending upon your travel insurance provider, you may not be covered if your goods are damaged in the cabin hold. Secondly, as stated on Wired: ‘hundreds of electronic devices in baggage hold could be a severe fire hazard should the lithium-ion batteries in those devices catch fire’. It is important to mention that no one is disputing the very real possibility a terrorist detonating a bomb in flight, by way of a laptop or similar device. Nonetheless, there emerges the question: will this ban be a long term solution, or are we exchanging one risk for another?
Should we be allowing these devices on flights at all? Whether the ban affects hand luggage or hold luggage, flights from Saudi Arabia or the US – if the ban is necessary then should it be enforced across the board? As it stands, the ban will only affect flights from these countries, if one stands as your last point of departure. This means that, those with connecting flights through these countries will be affected, but those who have travelled from these countries and connected through a different destination before their arrival at the UK, will not be affected. Certainly, a more severe ban would be a bigger inconvenience to travellers, but would it quell some of the unwarranted prejudice that may result from the ban?
Whatever your opinion, we must all ensure that we are informed if we choose to travel from these countries, through these airlines.


As your winch works more durable, it generates more warmth. In an effort to prevent overheating the motor, take breaks should you’re pulling over an extended distance and let the motor cool earlier than starting again. Winching places a heavy load in your electrical system, so preserve your engine operating to forestall a complete drain. In some cases, a stock battery could not present sufficient juice to power a maximum pull. Some wheelers swap the stock battery for a heavy obligation one, or they set up a second battery solely for restoration.

Kaunas historic centre to be “resurrected”
For decades one of Kaunas’ oldest squares has been without purpose, ignored by locals and tourists alike – this is about to change
- 06 септември 2019, 21:30
- Anton Stoyanov
The municipality of Kaunas is inviting citizens, locals and tourists to a plethora of events to celebrate the symbolical rebirth of one of the city’s oldest squares – the Constituent Seimas Square. The Lithuanian city will be hosting feasts and banquets at the square situated in the very heart of Kaunas every weekend until the end of September, under the name “Puota”. According to the organizers of the events “There used to be a bazaar, the liveliest part of the city, an economic center where the community was created and evolved, links established and information exchanged. It's time to bring it all back”. The square has remained unused for many years but that is about to change.
Organizers believe that the Square has been unjustly ignored by tourists and locals. They want to promote the location so that it can get the attention and the spotlight it really deserves. The events will include a wide array of activities, including concerts and performances as well as a fantastic cultural mix in the form of cuisine. Kaunas’ cooks will be deploying food trucks serving Asian and Indian food, burgers, waffles and all sorts of other delicious treats.

Our cover design for the February 2023 issue, the Sashiko Table Runner by Kathleen Berlew, is a real showstopper but maybe you think you do not have the skills to make it happen. Let us help you out with a few visuals from the designer and a bit of background about the stitching technique.
Sashiko is a type of traditional Japanese embroidery used as decorative reinforcement to repair worn out areas in fabric. There is a special Sashiko thread used in these traditional designs and most of the patterning just involves a series of running stitches. It has been popping up all of the internet in visual mending books, blogs and social media posts. But we thought it would be fun to use this decorative stitching on something special for your home.
The Sashiko style embroidery in this runner, is strictly decorative but is soothing and meditative. Let’s run you through the steps of creating the surface stitches used. Also, I should note that this runner is worked in Tunisian crochet. If that isn’t a style you are accustomed to; no worries, you can work this in regular single crochet and achieve a very similar look.
First, each square on the chart represents on square on the Tunisian crochet fabric.
Next, draw the needle through several stitches on the wrong side of the work to secure the tail.
Now to begin embroidery, pull the needle to the right side of the work at the point indicated in the chart.
Use a running stitches and straight stitch to create horizontal lines using the width and height of your stitches as guides to the length of your embroidery stitches. When working the stitches, run them through the center of the stitch. This keeps them secure and the back of your work clean and tidy.
The Tunisian crochet makes it easy to follow and create the vertical lines of the patterning.
Use the chart to guide you through making the motifs throughout the runner.
That really is all there is to it. If you can make some running stitches, you can work Sashiko patterns! Look around the internet for more inspiration. What else can you apply this lovely technique to?
Need some yarn? Head over to the catalog site for just the right DK cotton or cotton blend.

incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government.
any action, esp. in speech or writing, promoting such discontent or rebellion.
Archaic. rebellious disorder.
Several weeks ago the troll known as Joe Klein, a columnist for the increasingly irrelevant Time Magazine, along with John Heilemann, co-author of the Obama wet kiss Game Change accused Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin of sedition for their stand against Obama and Obamacare. What they are really saying is that to oppose Obama is racist and seditious. Since nothing Beck, Limbaugh and Palin have said comes anywhere close to inciting rebellion (except maybe among liberals) we can only assume that Klein and Heilemann are hopelessly biased and/or delusional.
Of course these two didn't actually cite any specific statements which is the modus operandi of Alinskyites, leftists, progressives, socialists, communists, Maoists and all of the other liberal scum that dominate the lamestream media.
Herewith Klein and Heilemenn pontificate:
KLEIN: You know, I did I did a little bit of research just before the show, it's on this little napkin here. I looked up the definition of sedition, which is "conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of the state." And a lot of these statements, especially the ones coming from people like Glenn Beck, and to a certain extent Sarah Palin, rub right next right up close to being seditious.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: OK.
HEILEMANN: Well, and this is and, you know, Joe's right, and I I'll name another person. You know, name Rush Limbaugh, you know, who uses this phrase constantly, talks about the Obama administration as a regime.
Glenn Beck's response on his radio show:
GLENN: Okay, stop, stop, stop. How many times did Time magazine call the Bush administration a regime?
PAT: I think it was 16 in all. They called the first time they called the Bush administration a regime was one month into his administration. One month.
PAT: You know, because Chris Matthews himself has said it, the New York Times has said it and I think Time said it the most. I think it was 16 times, his own publication.
GLENN: All right. So this is ridiculous. Now for someone to speak out is sedition. I would challenge you to find that in the words of our founders. In fact, I believe it's in the Declaration of Independence that when a people find the government to be oppressive, it is our duty, and I'm not even going here. It's our duty to shake it off and to reconstitute a new government.
PAT: This is something that Judge Napolitano talked about at the American Revival a lot is the Sedition Act of 1798 with John Adams. It's so dangerous because they have this threat, we thought, and I think it was legitimate from the French that they were going to overthrow our government. They got nervous about that and so they passed this alien and sedition act.
GLENN: And it's exactly where Thomas Jefferson and names I mean, and John Adams went awry. John Adams Thomas Jefferson, he doesn't even have president of the United States on his tombstone. He didn't want to be the president.
And in the wake of the new Arizona anti-illegal immigration law we can see actual sedition on display:
Ron Gochez, currently a HISTORY teacher at Santee H.S. in Los Angeles committing sedition on May 1, 2007 at a La Raza (The Race) rally at UCLA.
We are a revolutionary Mexican organization here. We understand that this is not just about Mexico. It's about a global struggle against imperialism and capitalism… At the forefront of this revolutionary movement is La Raza. We will no longer fall for these lies called borders. We see America as a northern front of a revolutionary movement… Our enemy is capitalism and imperialism.
Blah Blah Blah. Where are you on this one Joe and John? We are waiting for your indignation……(cue the chirping crickets).
Oh we forgot, this "professor" is one in along list of your favorite "oppressed" and aggrieved minorities. We are not allowed to criticize.
You folks in California are paying this scumbag's salary. Here is Gochez's contact info...let's see if we can him fired:
Phone: (213) 763-1000

This is the kind of Leftist Reconquista drivel that is practiced by any number of "Hispanic Studies" and "Ethnic Studies" phony professors (PhD's come cheap these days)at taxpayers expense including California State University at Northridge's Rudolfo Acuna, who teaches that California is really just part of Mexico. The bar for becoming a state teacher hasn't been this low since Colorado State University's Ward Churchill got tossed out on his Communist ass for calling the three thousand that died on 9/11 "little Eichmanns."
Arizona, to its credit, has decided to defund all of these fake studies at the State Universities such as women's studies, black studies, Hispanic studies, Arab studies, Pacific Islander studies, peace studies and ethnic studies, all of which prepares our budding scholars for nothing more than a career in academia. While they are at it maybe they can kick La Raza, MEChA and The Muslim Peoples Liberation for Oppressed This and That Whatever Organization (CAIR, Hamas and Hezbollah) off campus as well.
This kind of sedition also led to the situation at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill California where white students were threatened with suspension for wearing American flag t-shirts on Cinco de Mayo. Apparently, the genius assistant principle, Miguel Rodriguez had been warned by some "European" students (honestly, who talks like this?) that there would be trouble if these students displayed the American flag on this "holiday". Cinco de Mayo is really just an excuse to get hammered on tequila every May 5. We at Neville doubt the veracity of Mr. Rodriguez's claim.
The students wore the t-shirts anyway and were hauled down to the principle's office amid cheers from Hispanic students shouting "Me-he-co!, Me-he-co!." That's "Mexico!, Mexico!" for all of you pro-American, nativist, racist, bigoted, hate-filled, knuckle-dragging white folks.
The students and their parents have stated that no apology to the Hispanic students will be forthcoming. Good for them. There was also a three-hour demonstration in support of the students from almost 100 American flag-waving Tea Partiers.
In the final analysis, using John Heilemann and Joe Klein as a standard for behavior, dissent (remember the liberal mantra Dissent is Patriotic during the Bush years?), flying the flag, supporting the Constitution, defending the border and standing up for one's country are now acts of sedition.
The Alien Registration Act or Smith Act (18 U.S.C. § 2385) of 1940
Partial text of the The Alien Registration Act or Smith Act (18 U.S.C. § 2385) of 1940:
"Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof - Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction."
It also required all non-citizen adult residents to register with the government; within four months, 4,741,971 aliens had registered under the Act's provisions.
The Act is best known for its use against political organizations and figures. Prosecutions continued until a series of United States Supreme Court decisions in 1957 threw out numerous convictions under the Smith Act as unconstitutional.
The statute remains on the books, however.
The Act was proposed by Congressman Howard W. Smith of Virginia, a Democrat and a leader of the "anti-labor" bloc of Congressmen. It was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

This thesis is concerned with analyzing vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is crucial for several functions, including vision, growth, and cell differentiation. the main aim is to develop and validate an LC-MS/MS method for the determination of vitamin A in plasma matrix and use the new method for the determination of vitamin A levels in the obese Emirati population. Methods: A positive ion electrospray ionisation (ESI) LC-MS/MS method was used in the Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) mode for quantification. It involved i) LC-MS/MS, ii) a guard column together with C18 Ascentis Express F5 column iii) Internal standard, 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 (6, 19, 19-d3), and iv) identification via ESI and monitoring of three fragmentations of the parent ion. To demonstrate the practical value of this method, blood samples were collected from 452 Emirati participants (277 obese; 175 healthy). The method was validated according to FDA-US guidelines. The method has been applied to a sample of 277 Emirati obese patients, including 277 baselines, 277 follow-ups, and 175 health samples. The characteristics of the sample included: mixed-gender with 73 males in the age group of (18–82 years) and 204 females in the age group of (18–65 years). The results show that the concentrations of vitamin A for both females and males increased after supplementation (372 ng/mL to 440 ng/mL for the female samples, and 438 ng/mL to 540 ng/mL for the male sample). This has led to a sufficient level of vitamin A in participants. The new method allowed chromatographic separation and quantification of vitamin A. The new assay could detect 0.48 ng/mL of vitamin A in serum with the calibration curve ranging from 7.8 to 1000 ng/ml. The method validation parameters, including intra and inter-day precision, intra and inter-day accuracy, recovery, linearity, specificity, and stability, were within range. For example, the recovery percentage found were 99%, 96%, and 94% for QCH, QCM, and QCL respectively, while the percentage of change in the stability of vitamin A ranges between 0 and 3%. The applied LC-MS/MS method was intended to accurately detect Vitamin A in human plasma and has proven to be specific, reliable, and robust. The method can detect low levels of vitamin A. This analytical method does not require time-consuming derivatization and complex extraction techniques and could prove very useful in clinical studies.

Fantastic toy!My two daughters, ages 4 and 2 , love building with these tools. It's the perfect gift for all children! A must have!!!!!
great toyMy son had one of these as a child. For the past twenty years I have had it as a toy for children coming to my office.. It is universally loved. Parents often have to pry their children away when it is time to leave. Repeat visitors run to the toy when they enter the waiting room. It is lots of fun and lets the children be creative.
Very constructiveMy two-year-old loves it. He likes to play with my tools, and this gives him some of his own, so I can have mine back. There's a slotted piece that he calls a "thingamajig", and that fascinates him.
Fun wooden toyThis toy is really cool because it really helps develop motor skills in kids. You are supposed to build these creations out of wood using the wood tools provided. It's a very cool idea for a toy. My 5 year old son really loves his and I love helping him with it. Also, the wood is a nice solid wood, so it won't break
Real cool toyThis thing is pretty cool! I bought it for my 6 year old son, and I love playing with it with him! We like to build different creations together. It's all made of wood, and it comes with little wooden tools as well. Very happy with this purchase!

Sally Jewell Visits Bears Ears, Says Obama Will Decide on National Monument Before Leaving Office
President Barack Obama could decide whether to designate the 1.9 million–acre region known as Bears Ears as a national monument by the end of the year, according to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell.
If not by then, Obama will definitely decide before he leaves office, Jewell told Indian Country Media Network during a three-day tour of the area.
Five tribes are asking for the designation under the 1906 Antiquities Act, which gives the President signing power to create such monuments on federal land. The proposal drew criticism and support as its creators and the opposition had a chance to speak directly with Jewell and other top federal officials at a public hearing in Bluff, Utah. People spoke passionately about the area and its history, which dates back thousands of years.
“We have not made up our minds on what way to go,” said Jewell during the hearing. “We’re here to listen.”
Jewell, directors of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the National Park Service and government officials did just that, listening to more than 50 people representing local tribes, ranchers, politicians, recreationalists and environmentalists. A total of 150 people crammed into the hearing room in Bluff, Utah, about 60 miles south of Bears Ears. Outside, more than 1,000 people who had traveled from around the region listened on a PA system. Jewell and her colleagues also hiked portions of Bears Ears, observing petroglyphs and the terrain firsthand.
Those who gave testimony—from descendants of Mormon pioneers who settled in the area, to rock climbers discovering ancient sites, to Native people who have seen their wells depleted and water contaminated by area natural resource development—spoke passionately about this largely pristine desert, a blanket of red-brick earth, waves of mesas, large, jutting rock formations and juniper dotting the land.
Many Navajos, Utes and other tribes who support the Bears Ears monument, named after two 9,000-foot twin buttes, say the land is sacred and important for medicine gathering, wood and ceremonies.
“There is nothing more important about tribal sovereignty than protecting Indian nations’ languages, cultures, beliefs, and indeed our existence as Indian people,” Navajo Attorney General Ethel B. Branch said.
“Our proposal is not about exclusion—it’s about education and partnership,” said Carleton Bowekaty of the Pueblo of Zuñi, one of the five tribes requesting the designation.
But several Navajos and at least one Ute, including a group from Blue Mountain Dine and San Juan County Commissioner Rebecca Benally, spoke against the designation, citing general distrust with the federal government.
“We have suffered from all the treaties that have been broken,” Benally said. “I’m very disheartened by the misinformation and also by the dividing the sisters and brothers in this community.”
Benally, a Republican, supports a bill filed by Utah’s congressional delegation and introduced in the House as an ostensible alternative to the tribal proposal. The bill would designate 4.6 million acres of land for conservation, and allocate 1.1 million acres for recreation and natural resource development. The Public Lands Initiative also ensures tribal input, protection of archaeological sites, preserves traditional gathering of plants, and gives managing agencies digression to hire tribal managers to help manage the land, said Casey Snider of U.S. House Rep. Rob Bishop’s office (R-UT).
Though Congress is ready to wrap up its current session in a matter of months, Snider said that hearings on the bill are planned this month and August, with Bishop scheduling bill changes and a congressional hearing in September.
Environmentalists oppose the bill because they say it allows too much for gas and oil development. Tribal leaders have also criticized the bill, saying that their input has not been sought. Initially tribes were working with Utah lawmakers on a proposal, but when communications fizzled earlier this year, tribes broke off and created their own proposal. The Hopi, Zuñi, Ute Mountain Ute, Uinta-Ouray Ute and the Navajo Nation formally asked Obama to designate the area as a national monument last year.
This is the first time that a tribal coalition has proposed a national monument, although other tribes have requested joint management of public lands, said Larry Roberts, Acting Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, who also toured the area and attended the hearing.
The hearing culminated a three-day trip to the area for Jewell and other top federal officials to talk to residents and learn more about the land and its uses. The area falls under jurisdiction of the BLM, which has two law enforcement rangers and a handful of staff to oversee the 1.9 million acres of land containing 100,000 archaeological sites. BLM staff members admit that looting and site disturbance have been a problem. That is corroborated by Josh Ewing of Friends of the Cedar Mesa, a nonprofit organization created to help the BLM manage the area, who said he has seen bones from some of the gravesites thrown about as looters look for pottery or other items to sell.
Ranchers and other area residents told Jewel that creating a monument will bring more visitors and will not stop desecration. As the day wore on, however, a common theme emerged.
“The one thing that we are all consistent on—those of us supporting and opposing—we all want to preserve the land for the younger generation,” area resident Kevin Maryboy said.

I love movies. Thatís why I truly enjoy writing about them. Yes, there are many very bad movies out there. But part of what I love is that every once in a while, a film so utterly astounding comes along that it lets me forget the rest of the crap released by Hollywood and reinvigorates my love of movies as both entertainment and art. Right now that film is The Constant Gardner.The story centers around Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes) and his relationship with a woman named Tessa (Rachel Weisz). It also involves countless deaths in Africa, pharmaceutical companies and government cover ups. Itís a romantic drama, a thriller and a social commentary all in one. And they all work here. Each branches seamlessly into the other, not from writing necessity but from reason. The romance leads to the thriller which leads to the social conscience.
Really it reminded me most of Casablanca. Both concentrate on a very personal and somewhat tragic love story set amid an involving political backdrop. While The Constant Gardner came out amid the explosions and chest shaving jokes of summer, it isnít your typical summer blockbuster fair. The film relies on emotion and visuals to keep its story propelling forward. I would go so far as to call it a mainstream high art film, one of the most pleasing oxymorons I can think of.
I usually shy away from talking about technical parts of movies but The Constant Gardner has some of the best cinematography Iíve seen recently. The use of different camera styles for different locations has been done before (most notably in Traffic) but never have I seen it implemented so fluidly. Beyond that, there are simply countless shots that would be right at home in a photography magazine. And the musicÖ incredible! Sorry, Iím getting carried away. Have I given the film enough of a proverbial hand job yet?
One thing to note is that the style of The Constant Gardner is a bit disorienting at first. Eventually however, it gives the film a sort of lyrical flow. There are many flashbacks and disruptions of time but they all serve the purpose of eliciting certain feelings. They become more of a storytelling tool than a crutch (coughÖ Quentin Tarantino). This also means a second viewing is fairly necessary.When writing reviews, I try to find the good parts even in truly terrible movies. I also try to point out the shortcomings of great films. I like to be fair. But I donít know what bad parts there are to point out here. If thereís something not to like about The Constant Gardner I donít see it. I apologize for not being very good at subtly right now. I just need to get this off my chest: The Constant Gardner is one of the best films Iíve seen in a long time.

Federal authorities on Tuesday added 19 hate-crime and firearms charges to their case against a Pennsylvania man accused of massacring 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue last October in the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history.
The suspect, Robert Bowers, 46, could face the death penalty if convicted on any of 22 capital-eligible offenses contained in the full 63-count superseding indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh.
A onetime truck driver who frequently posted anti-Semitic slurs online, Bowers is accused of storming the Tree of Life synagogue during Saturday services on Oct. 27 and yelling “All Jews must die.”
The new charges against Bowers, who has pleaded not guilty to 44 earlier charges, include obstructing free exercise of religious beliefs that led to death and injury, committing hate crimes resulting in death and discharging a firearm.
- A month after Pittsburgh tragedy, no sign of bold steps by Trump to fight anti-Semitism
- Right-wing extremists murdered 50 Americans in 2018, report finds - and one-third of them were Jews
- New York hate crimes in 2018 targeted Jews more than all other groups combined
In addition to the mostly elderly congregants who died in the shooting, authorities said two were wounded, along with five police officers, before Bowers surrendered and was taken into custody after he was wounded in a shootout with police.
Federal authorities said Bowers entered the synagogue in the city’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood, a heavily Jewish area, armed with multiple firearms, including three Glock .357 handguns and a Colt AR-15 rifle.
Bowers, a Pittsburgh resident, had made many anti-Semitic posts online, including one early on the day of the attack that said, “I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I’m going in.”
In another, he slammed U.S. President Donald Trump for doing nothing to stop an “infestation” of the United States by Jews.
At a Nov. 1 court appearance, Bowers pleaded not guilty to the first 44 counts filed against him after entering the courtroom wearing a red jumpsuit and a bandage on his left arm. He also requested a jury trial.
The attack followed a spate of politically motivated pipe-bomb mailings to prominent Democrats. It also fueled a debate over Trump’s inflammatory political rhetoric and his self-identification as a “nationalist,” which critics say has fomented a surge in right-wing extremism and may have even helped provoke the bloodshed in Pittsburgh.
The Trump administration has rejected the notion that the president has encouraged white nationalists and neo-Nazis who have embraced him, insisting that Trump is trying to unify America even as he disparages the media as an “enemy of the people.”

Highly efficient ITO-free polymeric electronic devices were successfully demonstrated by replacement of the ITO electrode with a solution-processed PEDOT:PSS electrode containing Ag nanoparticles (NPs). Polymer solar cells (PSCs) and light emitting diodes (PLEDs) were fabricated based on poly(5,6-bis(octyloxy)-4-(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole) (PTBT):PC61BM and Super Yellow as a photoactive layer, respectively. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect and improved electrical conductivity by the Ag NPs clearly contributed to increments in light absorption/emission in the active layer as well as the conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS electrode in PSCs and PLEDs. The ITO-free bulk heterojunction PSCs showed a 1% absolute enhancement in the power conversion efficiency (3.27 to 4.31%), and the power efficiency of the PLEDs was improved by 124% (3.75 to 8.4 lm W-1) compared to the reference devices without Ag NPs. The solution-processable conducting polymer, PEDOT:PSS with Ag NPs, can be a promising electrode for large area and flexible optoelectronic devices with a low-cost fabrication process.

Team India coach not surprised by growing tryout numbers
With just one week remaining until the groundbreaking exhibition game between the Brampton Beast and the National Team of India, preparations are well underway to make this an event to remember.
The first item on the agenda to kick off exhibition week is Team India tryouts, taking place at the Powerade Centre in Brampton this weekend on Saturday and Sunday. Requests to try out for Team India have been rolling in for the last several weeks and fans and organizers may be interested to learn that the search to complete Team India’s roster has reached far beyond the Greater Toronto Area.
While the majority of Team India applicants will be making the short drive from every corner of the GTA, like Oakville, Mississauga, Brampton and Etobicoke, some Team India hopefuls will have a little more than a car ride to get to the Powerade Centre this weekend.
The tryout has even attracted applicants from the United States and a there are even a pair of pair of brothers who are making the 4000+ kilometre trek from British Columbia.
Some may find it perplexing that people are willing to travel from far and wide just to try out for a team for the opportunity to play in a single exhibition game, but Team India Head Coach Adam Sherlip isn’t surprised in the least.
He explains that people in the Indian culture are a proud and passionate group that will go above and beyond just for the opportunity to wear their country’s jersey on their chest.
“I’ve seen the way that Indians around the world have reacted to learning about ice hockey and I’ve seen just how passionate they are about it,” Sherlip said.
“One of the big things I got earlier in the year, we had a really successful fundraising campaign to go to Kuwait. That’s when we first got to see a lot of messages from Indians across the world saying “I don’t care how Team India does, I’m just proud that they’re trying.”
Having a passionate group eager to try out doesn’t mean the process is going to be a breeze for Sherlip and his coaching staff. Having just four on-ice sessions to integrate new players with those who have made the trip from India will be no easy task.
“I’d be surprised if anybody has ever held a tryout like this,” Sherlip chuckled.
“This tryout is honestly among the most challenging things I’ve ever done as a coach. I’m just going to start simple and tap into the fact that they’re all there because they want to represent Team India in this event, and I’m appreciative of that. We’ll start light and progress based on what we see. We will try to test speed and hockey sense, their passing and shooting. We’re going to go through the gamut and we’ll increase the challenge based on who’s on the ice.”
Sherlip and company are well aware of the task ahead of them this week but he takes solace in the fact that he along with his players and tryout attendees are motivated by an honest and pure passion for the game of ice hockey and a burning desire to wear the jersey of their home country.
“We’ve seen some of their credentials,” Sherlip said of his potential team members trying out for Team India. “We’re excited to see everybody’s passion on the ice. I’m sure we’re going to see a lot of that.
“Every day I get a hundred emails from everywhere from people saying how excited they are for us. People love the jersey and people love the concept of this game. People just care and that’s amazing to see.”
