A group of Venezuelan opposition figures have asked the International Criminal Court (ICC) to probe President Nicolas Maduro and others for "crimes against humanity" including alleged murder and torture, exiled dissident Carlos Vecchio said Wednesday.The request to the Hague-based court, involving eight officials including Maduro, was made in the name of a group of alleged victims of the current regime, including Vecchio.It lists more than 30 alleged murders, 3,700 detentions that the opposition considers illegal, nearly 400 suspected cases of torture and some 800 people allegedly injured since February 2014 when deadly nationwide protests against Maduro's government broke out.Nieves worked on Lopez's case, and said an army general made him issue an arrest warrant for the opposition leader under orders from Maduro.

In the immediate aftermath of the EU referendum, much was made of how devastated young people were by the result. A survey by Lord Ashcroft suggested that over 70% of young people aged 18-24 voted Remain, while almost 60% of over 55s voted to Leave.
In my ongoing research, I’ve found that this view is too simplistic: in practice, young people’s reactions and views are much more diverse and tricky to categorise.
Between March and September 2017, my colleagues and I talked to young people around England about their attitudes towards Brexit and aspirations after the referendum. Our fieldwork took us to London, the south coast, the west of England, and greater Manchester. Along the way, we spoke with 73 young people aged between 16 and 29, including university students, sixth formers and further education students, young people in their first jobs, as well as those struggling to find work.
During our interviews, we came across young Brexiteers, who were predominantly male and think the country will be better off outside the EU, as well as Europhiles, often bright middle-class young women, who feel betrayed but still hope to pursue careers in the EU.
But we also found that just as many young people were disinterested in the Brexit referendum and its aftermath. These young people often had little interest in politics, a low level of qualifications, or were more focused on more immediate challenges in their lives, such as trying to find work, homes, or deal with health problems.
Another widespread assumption about the referendum was that youth support for the Remain campaign owed much to young people’s cosmopolitan and idealistic outlook. Our previous research had actually found that young people in Britain are less tolerant of immigration than you might expect and so one of the aims of this new project was to examine whether young people’s attitudes towards Brexit were really driven by idealism and cosmpolitanism.
We found that this was only true of some of the young people we interviewed: just as many voted Remain because they viewed remaining in the EU as the safest option, and the outcome that would have had the least negative impact on their lives. Leavers provided equally varied reasons for their decision, including concerns about democracy, sovereignty, the wastefulness of the EU as well as immigration. Others believed that Brexit would bring greater economic opportunities.
William, a white, middle-class, university-educated Londoner, told us he believes Brexit will not limit his job opportunities: “I voted to vote Leave and take control.” He even persuaded his parents – lifelong Tories – to vote Leave.
Then there was 17-year-old Polly, a middle-class A-level student at a selective school in the west of England. A self-professed Europhile who describes her friends and family as “ardent Remainers”, she still intends to live and work in the EU, but is worried this will be made much harder by Brexit.
By contrast, some of those we spoke to were completely disengaged from the Brexit debate. Take Jason, a 21-year-old white British man living in the south of England. He has few qualifications and is struggling to find a job. “I don’t really think about Brexit that much,” he told us. “I am not a political person, so I am not that bothered.”
In between these positions, there are also more nuanced views, with some of those who voted Leave admitting to nervousness about what will happen, or Remainers resigned to the result and pragmatic about the need to get on with Brexit and get a good deal. Much like the wider adult population, young people hold a wide range of views about Brexit.
Aspirations and identities
Most young people we spoke to thought Brexit was unlikely to affect their short-term and long-term aspirations. Many already had a clear plan about what they would like their career and life to look like, and they were largely optimistic that Brexit would not prevent them from achieving these goals.
Few reported feeling less European since the referendum, in part because few felt European in the first place. Most were also just as attached to and proud of Britain as they had been before the referendum. A minority, however, felt more proud of Britain for standing up for itself and a similar minority felt more ashamed of being British, believing the referendum result suggested Britain was not inclusive.
There were two groups for whom Brexit is having a clearer effect on their identity: young Europhiles – who had a stronger European identity and concrete plans to study and work abroad – and young people from ethnic minority backgrounds. For example, Maria, an 18-year-old first generation immigrant raised in London by eastern European parents, told us that after the referendum, she:
Felt like I had to be less European. All I heard was a lot of the reasons why people voted was because of immigrants… I think that kind of made me feel ‘wow’, I think I need to like emphasise that I’m British-British, and not even mention anything else.
And this sense of exclusion was not limited to young people with a European heritage. Mariam, a 19-year-old young British-Asian woman living in south-east England, said that Brexit had made her feel “less, definitely less [British]. 100%”, adding: “Some people think if you are not white, you are not British. This is how I look at it, this is how I have experienced it.”
Although the young people we spoke to held a wide range of views about Brexit, we heard a palpable sense of resignation that nothing could be done to change the result. While there was a youth surge in voting at the 2017 general election, a general sense of powerlessness to reverse the course of Brexit may end up reinforcing the disengagement of young people that has troubled British politics since the early 1990s.

Banning the sale of flavored adult tobacco products will widen the budget hole in many states, threaten the survival of small retailers and endanger the jobs of frontline workers at these companies.
What is the impact of the tobacco flavoring bans on convenience store sales?
In short: bad.
Flavored tobacco products have always been very popular items. They add variety, excitement and freshness to the category, and consumers expect it. In addition, Limited Time Offers (LTO) helped drive customer traffic and increase sales by category. Taking them off store shelves and denying free choice to legal-age US consumers does no good.
While operators have always been forced to navigate volatile regulatory waters, this latest challenge cannot help but be what one operator has called a blow to the entire business. Tobacco-related products remain a mainstay of inside sales, reaching 40-50% in some places. The inevitable result will be reduced foot traffic and reduced income.
Of particular concern is the inclusion of mint and menthol under the heading of flavored tobacco products, as is the case. Data from Management Science Associates (MSA) shows that over 36% of cigarette sales in the proximity channel are mentholated. In the smoke-free category, it is estimated that over 90% of sales are in mint, menthol and wintergreen.
The operator of a dozen convenience stores in California argued in a Sacramento Bee op-ed that flavor bans poke fun at his city’s excellent 97% compliance rate for sales subject to a limit. age in convenience stores and limits the choice of products available. adults.
Most product-oriented tobacco regulations are not only bad for convenience stores, but also bad policy, often resulting in increased black market activity. The irony that government officials ignore or fail to realize is that contraband tobacco is extremely profitable and is a key strategy deployed by terrorist organizations and crime syndicates.
“There is a market today for menthol cigarettes and banning them will only shift those sales to the black market,” said Lyle Beckwith, senior vice president of government relations at NACS. “Black market sellers of tobacco products do not verify the age of their buyers, do not pay sales tax, and sell more than menthol cigarettes. NACS is urging the FDA to implement a plan to shut down the current black market and prevent a new one before banning a product that we know will lead to a large number of new black market sales.
Many convenience stores choose to present the challenge in positive terms, as another way to demonstrate their adherence to the law and their commitment to their customers by helping to eradicate underage smoking. It is important that store staff make it clear to customers that the absence of their favorite products is not due to the retailer, but to the government.
At the same time, working with lawmakers to craft regulations that will minimize damage to retail sales has never been more important to convenience store owners. The combination of flavor bans and the rise of black market items is a double whammy that will only hurt the law-abiding retailers in the convenience store industry.
“As convenience stores struggle to keep the doors open to serve local communities, some elected officials want to further undermine the economic viability of these essential small businesses,” said Jim Calvin, president of the New York Association of Convenience Stores (NYACS) . “Especially when such a ban would reduce tax revenues by hundreds of millions of dollars a year, lead to job losses and intensify an illegal tobacco trade already at the forefront of the country.”
Banning the sale of flavored adult tobacco products – such as cherry pipe tobacco and menthol cigarettes – would widen New York State’s budget hole, threaten the survival of thousands of family-owned retailers, and place jobs in New York State. frontline workers in these companies. at risk.
This is the conclusion of an economic study carried out by Regional Economic Models Inc. (REMI) for NYACS. REMI estimated that the proposed action would cost the state $ 3.4 billion in tax revenue over the next decade, cost store owners nearly $ 500 million per year in lost sales, and cut 1,200 jobs in retail and allied industries.

The evidence of San Antonio's close-knit media community was in full force last week as word quickly spread about the sudden passing of KABB/KMYS TV promotions manager Vangie Mascorro. Shock and grief poured in from around the city's advertising and media industry on word of the loss. Family members say her death was related to a clot from recent knee surgery.
A graduate of both Providence High School and Trinity University, Mascorro had nearly 25 years of experience in a variety of marketing-related positions here in the city. However, her influence and industry relationships extended across the country, and the huge number of condolences have reflected that fact, says KABB/KMYS general manager, John Seabers.
"Vangie was known and well-loved throughout the broadcasting community," says Stephanie Small, president of the San Antonio Media Alliance.
Memorial services brought out hundreds of family and friends who exchanged stories of her engaging personality, her dedication and integrity as well as the professional contributions she had made over the past 20 years. Mascorro's career spanned a variety of positions at TV stations KENS, KRRT, KABB/KMYS, Thompson-Marince Advertising, and Groves, Cheney and Associates. In the process, she mentored many young media professionals. She will be deeply missed.
Driven to excellence might be a great catch phrase for Canyon High School Theatre Arts teacher April Cox.
The 16-year teaching veteran drove away Saturday in a brand new 2007 Saturn Aura, thanks to Saturn of San Antonio, reports Arthur Cavazos of Cavazos Public Relations and Advertising, who handles that account. Cox was the big winner in the 2007 Saturn of San Antonio and KNBT/KGNB radio Teacher of the Year contest.
"I'd like to congratulate April for her hard work and dedication," says Saturn of San Antonio President Rick Cavender. "We wanted to award the winning teacher with something special."
Cavender says the 19-week promotion was an exciting process. Saturn of San Antonio and KNBT/KGNB randomly selected one teacher to honor every Friday morning from hundreds of nominations from around northeast Bexar, Comal, and Guadalupe counties.
Cox was selected from that group as Teacher of the Year.
"And now she's part of the Saturn Family," Cavender adds.
Our Lady of the Lake University's (OLLU) communications and marketing team closed out the 2006-2007 school year on a high note with a record 12 awards from the local and regional chapters of four nationally known organizations.
The 2007 Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District IV Awards Competition, held in Dallas in March, presented the university with a Grand/Gold Award in the Viewbook Category for "OLLU: Challenging the Mind, Nurturing the Spirit Viewbook."
CASE also recognized OLLU with a Special/Pewter Award in the Multimedia Program Category for "OLLU Corporate Business E-Vite."
But the accolades didn't stop there. During the 2007 Public Relations Society of America Del Oro Awards Banquet in May, OLLU's communications and marketing team received one El Bronce (bronze) Award and two La Plata (gold) Awards. The International Association of Business Communicators also recently honored the OLLU communications and marketing staff with four awards during its Bronze Quill Awards Banquet, and The Association for Women in Communications recognized OLLU with three awards during its 2007 Headliner/Proliner Banquet just a few weeks ago.
25 years for Kahlig
It was silver anniversary time last week as Ford, Lincoln and Mercury executives from the Southwest Region congratulated Clarence J. Kahlig II, president of Kahlig Enterprises, at a gathering at North Park Lincoln Mercury on San Pedro Avenue to honor the firm's 25th anniversary.
The North Park dealership, which Kahlig purchased at age 35 from its original owners, has established itself as a premier Lincoln and Mercury dealership in the United States based on sales and volume.
"The success of his dealerships is due to the fact that Clarence has always been committed to excellence, not only in his business, but in his people," says Billy Vaughn, general manager of North Park Lincoln Mercury. "His tremendous drive for quality influences his employees to provide the best customer service."
Kahlig is known for putting "people first." One way Kahlig plans to continue contributing to the community is by sharing earnings. Kahlig announced that North Park Lincoln Merucry dealership employees will receive a bonus from 50 percent of company profits in July; the other 50 percent of the company profits will go to various charities.
"Our employees and the people of San Antonio have supported our dealership through the years so we would like to honor them with our appreciation," Kahlig says.

A Hong Kong teenager who police suspect to have links with triad groups was recently arrested with 23 kilograms (50 pounds) of cocaine reportedly worth around 27 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately $3.6 million).
What happened: The 14-year-old boy was arrested in Tsing Yi car park after he stepped into an abandoned car used by criminals to store drugs, officers said, adding that the vehicle was already under surveillance before the incident, according to South China Morning Post.
- Authorities found slabs of what is believed to be cocaine inside the abandoned car during the arrest. The boy, whose name has not been disclosed, had cash, the car’s key and a cellphone with him at the time. He is set to appear in court next week Monday.
- “Police have noticed that some criminals use remote car parks or abandoned or disabled vehicles as temporary storage warehouses,” Wong Siu-cheung, an officer from the Kowloon City police, told South China Morning Post. “It is convenient for them to cover up drug trafficking activities.”
- He also mentioned that Hong Kong gangs often use teenagers during drug-related operations since they can easily be manipulated with money. Authorities said the number of young people aged between 10 and 20 who have participated in drug trafficking has gone up from 135 cases last year to 224 in the first half of 2021.
The punishment: A person caught and charged for drug trafficking could face a maximum jail sentence of life imprisonment and a fine of up to 5 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately $641,000).
- “When a person (other than a minor) is found to have exploited a minor for procuring, supplying or trafficking a dangerous drug, the police will appeal to the courts for enhanced sentencing by invoking Section 56A of the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance,” the Hong Kong Police Force said in its website.

SDEROT, ISRAEL – OCTOBER 13: Israeli army take security measures as they deploy dozens of tanks and armored vehicles to the Gaza border area in Sderot, Israel on October 13, 2023. (Photo by Turgut Alp Boyraz/Anadolu via Getty Images)

Israeli ground troops are massed near the border with Gaza, following Hamas’ brutal terrorist attacks that killed 1,400 people.
But after more than a week of deadly air strikes in Gaza, an expected ground invasion hasn’t begun, surprising many military analysts, while officials warn of a long fight with Hamas. The war has also left much of Israel’s economy in limbo. More than 360,000 reservists, the backbone of Israel’s Defense Forces, are now in uniform and away from their jobs.
“The economic impact of something like this is immediate,” said Joseph Zeira, a prominent economist, former professor at Hebrew University and author of “The Israeli Economy: A Story of Success and Costs.”
A recession is almost guaranteed, Zeira predicts, as many parts of Israel are facing a drop in productivity.
“Tourism has stopped. People in Israel aren’t going out right now to eat or shop” said Zeira.
The financial world is paying attention, too.
On Tuesday, Fitch put Israel’s long-term debt on rating watch negative, meaning it is prepared to lower the credit rating.
“The risk that other actors hostile to Israel, such as Iran and Hezbollah, could join the conflict at scale has risen significantly, as indicated by regular fire exchanges on the Israel-Lebanon border and declarations from high-ranking officials in Iran and from Hezbollah,” Fitch wrote.
Fitch fears the fighting could take a long time. Indeed, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday warned of a “long war.”
Israel has often won wars by striking fast and hard inside enemy territory, but due to the complexity of fighting in Gaza, the next phase is coming slower than expected. There is also a fear among army officers and the government that once they fully commit to a ground invasion in the south, where Gaza is located, Hezbollah will take advantage to launch an invasion from Lebanon in the north.
Zeira, the economist, is also worried about a protracted fight.
“The military is going to want to move slowly to avoid casualties, but the longer this goes, the more damaging it is to the economy,” he said. “I don’t know how the government will solve this problem.”
Israel’s Ministry of the Economy could not estimate which economic sectors have lost the most reservists, but most of those who joined the fight are under 40 years old. That younger population plays an outsized role in Israel’s technology economy which accounts for about a third of Israel’s exports and a fifth of its annual gross domestic product.
How are Israeli companies reacting to the war?

The war is having a particularly big impact on Israel’s dynamic tech sector.
Varonis is a cybersecurity company, one of many in Israel that’s found large parts of its workforce reporting for military duty. The company’s main campus is in Herzliyah, north of Tel Aviv. When Israel went to war with Hamas earlier this month, Varonis told its 750 Israel-based employees to work from home.
“We transformed our office into a temporary home with mattresses, pillows, food and clothes for 250 people who had just fled towns near Gaza,” Chief Operating Officer Guy Melamed told CNBC in a telephone interview.
Israeli families forced from their homes gather at Varonis.

The company brought in social workers to help panicked survivors while supplying activities for children.
“Nobody here had ever worked in the hotel industry, but we were able to use our high-tech experience to predict metrics and help with the process,” Melamed said.
Over the last few days the 250 evacuees have moved on to hotels with government help. Melamed said “we were able to help with some light in a time of darkness.”
But it’s increasingly looking like the war won’t be a mere short-term concern for Varonis and other Israeli companies.
At a funeral Thursday for one of the civilians killed in the Hamas attack, former Minister of Defense Benny Gantz who is now one of three members of Israel’s “war cabinet” warned the fighting is likely to take months to complete. To compare, Israel’s 2006 war with Hezbollah in Lebanon took 34 days.

Attitudes in Latitudes: The Northern Wild Explores the Tropics, which spans over both The Richard Shack Gallery and Project 924, is the result of curator Ombretta Agró Andruff's research trip to Winnipeg.
The exhibition that features six artists from the Canadian microcosm and six from Miami explores their strong, and yet sometimes peculiar connection to the landscape that surrounds them as well as the creatures, either real or invented, that inhabit it.
By bringing together 12 artists from two very distinct locales, Agró not only builds a cultural bridge between the two, but also allows viewers to cross it while wearing surreal lenses – opening up their eyes to the most striking – and at the same time – most microscopic forms of environmental inspiration.
Attitudes in Latitudes shows us how artists can teach us all to pay more attention to the majestic nature that surrounds us.

kindles don't have this kind of magic. Real books will always have relevance, there's nothing like the smell of an old book, or a new one for that matter. Gotta admit, I love the Kindle app for living on an island with a limited selection though. True Bibliophiles gobble up whatever they can get their hands on. Love to read an old book with history, though.
"Kindles don't have this kind of magic." I don't believe that people who have Kindles are real book lovers. haha ;)
kindles don't have this kind of magic. The smell of really old books. The ache of reading little notes written to people long dead. The dry rustle of paper. The wrinkles in a book read in the bath. Lending books to special people...
Love the smell of real, old books! That's what I don't like about all the Kindles and stuff, people are missing out on the experience of books. I love going to Barnes & Noble to get a Starbucks and browse at the books. I could spend hours there!

Book of Art is a series of books whose pages have been folded in such a way as to create a series of 3D words. At first glance, the careful, intricate folds appear laser cut, but at closer inspection it is apparent that the artist has, in fact, folded and manually cut individual pages to beautiful effect. This is amazing!!!

Such a cute idea >< Book shop covers books with paper and writes title, author and a short description so that no one judges the books by their covers
There is a library that wrapped books as presents with a short description of what they each are about. Now, you couldn't judge a book by its cover. Would totally do this! How cool is that?
For my used book store/café i will have some day! Wrap books in paper so that they cant be judged by the cover.

First Class wrote amazing Christmas Stories. Each story was set in the North Pole and the middle of each story had a problem which the Elves and Santa had to overcome. They published their story and practiced reading to each other.
We then went up to Ms. Cullen’s 4th Class.
In pairs we read our stories to the 4th class girls.
After reading in pairs some of us got to read our story to the whole class. Ms. Cullen was on the edge of her seat listening to all the disasters that happened in the North Pole but thankfully each story had a happy ending!!
A huge thank you to Ms. Cullen and 4th class for listening to our Christmas Stories.
We hope they enjoyed listening to them as much as we enjoyed reading them!

Oh boy! A free song!
What I love about traveling by train is the feeling of being nowhere in particular. That nowhere place is, ironically, the most wild and fertile place. It's the birthplace of songs and drawings and ideas and acceptance. I tried to capture that in this song. It's called "The Real World".
This was recorded live at the Diana Wortham Theatre in Asheville, NC. This song is on my new CD, "A Friday Night in One Lifetime," which is due for release in July.

Domestic violence = a pattern of coercive behavior aimed at gaining and then maintaining power and control over the behavior of an intimate partner.
Forms of domestic violence include emotional, psychological, verbal, physical, and sexual. Domestic violence includes physical and sexual assault, harassment, threats, blaming, name-calling, isolating from family and social contacts, withholding money, controlling behavior, stalking, verbal abuse, etc. Social factors contribute to public acceptance and prevalence of domestic violence. Read more.
Domestic violence is never an isolated incident. It is a behavioral pattern with distinct stages. The pattern is often described as a cycle, and because with each episode the seriousness of abuse escalates, the pattern can also be well-described as a spiral. Domestic violence progresses from set-up to abuse, to guilt and fear of reprisal, to rationalization, to normal behavior, to fantasy and planning, and back to the set up, which begins another cycle. Read more.
Warning signs of abuse include jealousy, controlling behavior, hypersensitivity, volatility, cruelty to animals, hostile language, isolating, breaking objects, threatening violence, etc. Read more.
Domestic violence affects everyone. One in four women has experienced violence in intimate relationships; three women are killed by their partners every day. Seventy-four percent of Americans know a victim of domestic violence. Read more.
Domestic abuse yearly costs almost $6 billion in health care, lost productivity, lost earnings, property loss. The cost of criminal and justice services, and victims’ pain and suffering is close to incalculable. Read more.
Victims of domestic violence suffer from a host of problems: medical (injuries, wounds, disability, chronic pain), emotional (depression, anxiety, panic attacks), psychological (decreased self-esteem, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, learned helplessness) and social (isolation). These problems lead to higher than average risk among victims of drug and alcohol abuse, suicide, future victimization and perpetration of abuse.
Up to 10 million children in the nation are exposed to violence at home each year. Children growing up in these homes are highly likely to be abused and neglected. Children living in an abusive environment are at a higher risk of being depressed, committing violence against their peers, attempting suicide, abusing alcohol and drugs, running away from home, and becoming abusers or victims of domestic violence in the future. Read more.
Help us empower our relatives, friends, neighbors, coworkers to have safe and healthy relationships. Foster zero tolerance for all forms of violence! Help us create a safe environment for every adult and child to live free from harm. Make a difference! Thank you for your support.

Gautham S ByExpress News ServiceKOCHI: People planning to visit the Marine Drive walkway this Valentine’s Day, or any day after that, should probably invest in a gas mask first.
In January, the High Court had ordered that sewage from nearby apartments should not be drained into the lake at Marine Drive and had instructed the corporation to devise a permanent system for draining the sewage.
There’s no proper disposal,” alleged a resident who lives in one of the apartments at Marine Drive.
Corporation’s take“Currently, we don’t have a sewer network at Marine Drive.
Apartments at Marine Drive have a sewage treatment plant there and we have asked them to treat the waste there for the time being,” said corporation secretary R S Anu.

Type 2 diabetes. One study found that being on the keto diet for one year reversed diabetes for up to 60 percent of participants. With an average weight loss of 30 pounds, they dramatically reduced or eliminated their need for insulin and no longer needed oral hypoglycemic drugs. The keto diet is also easier to sustain than the calorie-restricted diet or the protein-sparing modified fast.
Children who discontinue the diet after achieving seizure freedom have about a 20% risk of seizures returning. The length of time until recurrence is highly variable, but averages two years. This risk of recurrence compares with 10% for resective surgery (where part of the brain is removed) and 30–50% for anticonvulsant therapy. Of those who have a recurrence, just over half can regain freedom from seizures either with anticonvulsants or by returning to the ketogenic diet. Recurrence is more likely if, despite seizure freedom, an electroencephalogram shows epileptiform spikes, which indicate epileptic activity in the brain but are below the level that will cause a seizure. Recurrence is also likely if an MRI scan shows focal abnormalities (for example, as in children with tuberous sclerosis). Such children may remain on the diet longer than average, and children with tuberous sclerosis who achieve seizure freedom could remain on the ketogenic diet indefinitely.
When you eat foods high in carbohydrates and fat, your body naturally produces glucose. Carbohydrates are the easiest thing for the body to process, and therefore it will use them first – resulting in the excess fats to be stored immediately. In turn, this causes weight gain and health problems that are associated with high fat, high carbohydrate diets (NOT keto).
The ketogenic diet achieved national media exposure in the US in October 1994, when NBC's Dateline television programme reported the case of Charlie Abrahams, son of Hollywood producer Jim Abrahams. The two-year-old suffered from epilepsy that had remained uncontrolled by mainstream and alternative therapies. Abrahams discovered a reference to the ketogenic diet in an epilepsy guide for parents and brought Charlie to John M. Freeman at Johns Hopkins Hospital, which had continued to offer the therapy. Under the diet, Charlie's epilepsy was rapidly controlled and his developmental progress resumed. This inspired Abrahams to create the Charlie Foundation to promote the diet and fund research. A multicentre prospective study began in 1994, the results were presented to the American Epilepsy Society in 1996 and were published in 1998. There followed an explosion of scientific interest in the diet. In 1997, Abrahams produced a TV movie, ...First Do No Harm, starring Meryl Streep, in which a young boy's intractable epilepsy is successfully treated by the ketogenic diet.
A study with an intent-to-treat prospective design was published in 1998 by a team from the Johns Hopkins Hospital and followed-up by a report published in 2001. As with most studies of the ketogenic diet, no control group (patients who did not receive the treatment) was used. The study enrolled 150 children. After three months, 83% of them were still on the diet, 26% had experienced a good reduction in seizures, 31% had had an excellent reduction, and 3% were seizure-free.[Note 7] At 12 months, 55% were still on the diet, 23% had a good response, 20% had an excellent response, and 7% were seizure-free. Those who had discontinued the diet by this stage did so because it was ineffective, too restrictive, or due to illness, and most of those who remained were benefiting from it. The percentage of those still on the diet at two, three, and four years was 39%, 20%, and 12%, respectively. During this period, the most common reason for discontinuing the diet was because the children had become seizure-free or significantly better. At four years, 16% of the original 150 children had a good reduction in seizure frequency, 14% had an excellent reduction, and 13% were seizure-free, though these figures include many who were no longer on the diet. Those remaining on the diet after this duration were typically not seizure-free, but had had an excellent response.
This is one area where full keto and Bulletproof differ. Except for coconut, all nuts and legumes are suspect on the Bulletproof Diet and should be limited. All expose you to high amounts of omega-6s, inflammatory oxidized fats, mold toxins, and phytates (plant anti-nutrients). Peanuts are one of the main sources of mold toxins in our diets, and often trigger allergic responses with inflammatory polyunsaturated fats, lectins and histamines. The Bulletproof Diet also excludes all soy products due to their phytoestrogen content, which messes with your hormones and may promote cancer.
Around this time, Bernarr Macfadden, an American exponent of physical culture, popularised the use of fasting to restore health. His disciple, the osteopathic physician Dr. Hugh William Conklin of Battle Creek, Michigan, began to treat his epilepsy patients by recommending fasting. Conklin conjectured that epileptic seizures were caused when a toxin, secreted from the Peyer's patches in the intestines, was discharged into the bloodstream. He recommended a fast lasting 18 to 25 days to allow this toxin to dissipate. Conklin probably treated hundreds of epilepsy patients with his "water diet" and boasted of a 90% cure rate in children, falling to 50% in adults. Later analysis of Conklin's case records showed 20% of his patients achieved freedom from seizures and 50% had some improvement.
Sleep enough – for most people at least seven hours per night on average – and keep stress under control. Sleep deprivation and stress hormones raise blood sugar levels, slowing ketosis and weight loss a bit. Plus they might make it harder to stick to a keto diet, and resist temptations. So while handling sleep and stress will not get you into ketosis on it’s own, it’s still worth thinking about.

This paper presents empirical research that supports territorial approaches to tourism product development that ground tourism in science, as a mechanism to support sustainable tourism heritage conservation goals. Scientific Tourism
(ST), in this context, builds on the scientific heritage of a geography, matching researchers with local actors and tourists, through a five-stage iterative process that leads to new scientific knowledge, advancing theory and building relevance for communities through socio-cultural and economic development. This article focuses on the initial stage of the ST product development process, documenting empirical research conducted within the geographies surrounding the Palena River watershed in the Aysén Region of Chilean Patagonia. Both geo-structured literature review methods and results are presented and discussed to illustrate how the outcomes, including a series of maps, can inform and ground actors’ processes of heritage resource identification, justification, conservation, and exhibition, through the development of pilot ST initiatives within the territory. Similar research approaches may prove valuable for other low-density and peripheral geographies that share an interest in grounding tourism on the science taking place within their geography.

Cliff Godwin begins his fifth season as East Carolina baseball coach when the Pirates host Radford for a doubleheader today at 2 p.m.
The schedule for the opening series was modified Thursday due to potential unfavorable weather. The start for the third game with the Highlanders is supposed to be announced during the second game today.
ECU begins 2019 nationally ranked and as the preseason favorite in the American Athletic Conference. Junior outfielder Bryant Packard is projected for numerous All America teams.
The situation is similar to 2017 when the Pirate were rated as high as No. 6 going into a season-opening series at Ole Miss. Injuries left ECU short of expectations that year.
There is more depth now. Godwin is older and wiser, too.
“If you haven’t changed any, then you probably haven’t gotten better,” Godwin said. “I definitely think I’ve changed. I think I have better relationships with the players than I probably did early on, and just invest more time with them individually and let them know that I love and care for them.
“I do coach them hard, but at the same time I want to make sure that they’re taken care of.”
The Pirates drew record crowds at Ole Miss in 2017 but dropped three competitive games with the Rebels. Playing Radford at home doesn’t appear to be a challenge of the same magnitude although Godwin expressed respect for this weekend’s foe.
“They’ll be a quality opponent,” Godwin said. “They have a great, competitive head coach (Joe Raccula). I’m sure they’ll be ready to go.”
The Pirates play a single game at Ole Miss on March 6 That follows a contest at Mississippi State on March 5.
League play starts at home against Central Florida on March 22.
“The schedules are made years in advance,” Godwin said. “It’s kind of similar to football to be quite honest with you. When you put them together, some teams that have historically done really well and then some that maybe haven’t, all that good stuff. Really, you don’t know how great your schedule is or how not great it is until you get done with the season, but we try to put our schedule together every year to put us in a situation to have a great RPI and win enough games to be in a position to host a regional and a super regional.”
The Pirates announced earlier this week that left-hander Alec Burleson would start the season opener. Lefty Jake Agnos will go in game two and Tyler Smith was named to start game three.
Godwin talked about the process of determining the initial weekend rotation.
“It’s really been very competitive,” Godwin said. “We have a great pitching staff this year. … Any one of those three guys could pitch on Friday nights. We sat down as a staff together and came up with this rotation. This is the rotation for this weekend. This isn’t necessarily the rotation for next weekend. It will continue to be a work in progress. Like I told our guys, last year Burleson and Tyler Smith started out in the bullpen and they ended up being weekend starters. Each day, it has to be earned and our guys know that.”
Godwin sized up the bullpen at the outset of 2019.
“Everybody who’s not starting,” Godwin said. “The bullpen is going to be the guys who are not pitching this weekend, other than Gavin Williams. Gavin Williams will start next week (Wednesday, Feb. 20, 5 p.m., Buies Creek, weather permitting) against Campbell. … We have some guys who can pitch in the back end of the bullpen. Right now, Trey Benton, Evan Voliva, Sam Lanier, Zach Barnes, Carter Spivey, Cam Colmore, any of those guys could finish out a game.”
Packard hit .406 last season with 14 home runs and 50 RBIs for a team that was 44-18. The Pirates won the AAC Tournament and hosted a rainy NCAA Tournament regional.
This year’s batting order has impressive potential.
“It’s going to be, I think, pretty dynamic,” Godwin said. “We’re going to have guys who can run. We’re going to have guys who have power. As far as where everybody is hitting in the order, we’re still working on that. … We’ll see, depending on who they’re pitching will determine guys in different spots. But we’re really excited. We have a ton of depth, position player-wise this year. You’ll see a lot of different lineups and a lot of guys playing every game.”
There are multiple personnel options at every position,
“Behind the plate, Jake Washer is returning but Seth Caddell has been great in the preseason, so Wash and Seth will both catch at times,” Godwin said. “At third base, Nick Barber and Thomas Francisco will both play. At shortstop, Turner Brown will be our starting shortstop. Ryder Giles will play a lot. He will play at either third, short or second. At second base, we have Brady Lloyd returning. Also, Connor Norby, a freshman, has swung the bat extremely well. He can play second or maybe third at times.
“Ryder and Connor both pitch. Ryder is probably a little bit in front of him, pitching-wise right now. At first base, you have (Spencer) Brickhouse, Burleson and then Collin Watt has been working over at first base as well. In the outfield, you have Packard, Bryson Worrell, Dusty Baker, Chandler Jenkins, Christian Smallwood, Lane Hoover, Christian Jayne out there. Any of those guys at any point in time could be out there. That is a unique situation. I told our team this is the first year I feel like anybody could play at any given time because we have a lot of depth.”
Continued improvement will be a primary objective for the Pirates.
“The keys for our team — and I said it at the banquet and I’ll continue to say it, has nothing to do with wins and losses,” Godwin said. “We need to dominate our daily schedules. We need to focus on the process of getting one percent better. We need to make our boat, which is our organization, go faster and go in the right direction. If we get off from a direction standpoint, to get guys to get us back on direction. We need to be elite in everything we do. We need to love one another and be selfless.
“That is a real key because we have depth. If guys execute their roles and don’t let selfish ideas come into their head — just be the best version of themselves.”
The banquet last Saturday evening was a record setter.
“It was awesome,” Godwin said. “We had the most people ever. We had 592 people attend. We raised a lot of money. We raised close to $62,000 for our program on Saturday night, which is almost double of the most that we’ve ever raised. It was at the new Student Center ball room, the grand ball room on the second floor.”
Speaking of money, the Pirates are planning facility upgrades.
“It’s renovation,” Godwin said. “Eventually, it probably will cost close to $4 million. It will be in phases, like anything like that. Phase One will be our pitching indoor, which is our old hitting indoor, to renovate that. Phase Two is for us to get a renovated locker room, a renovated equipment room, training room, team room, a weight room and a professional locker room.”
Cliff’s cab delayed
The Cliff’s Cab video series was delayed from its scheduled start Monday. Godwin pilots a multi-seat golf cart on the show that takes students to class while the coach publicizes the baseball program.
“Actually, we didn’t because of the weather, so it will go out (Wednesday),” Godwin said Tuesday.
A trip to UCLA on April 12-13 is among the more intriguing aspects of the 2019 schedule. Godwin was asked if the Pirates will do some sight seeing in Los Angeles.
“Just the way our travel schedule is, it might be tough for us to do a lot, but we always try to give our guys an opportunity to see something that maybe they never have seen before,” Godwin said. “A lot of our guys haven’t been out to LA, so it will be a good opportunity for them to get out there and see some things.”
The Pirates have never been to the College World Series either, but that deeply-respected destination would appear to be a possibility for the season at hand.

The ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) announced the Zephyrus G14 Alan Walker Special Edition in collaboration with the legendary artist, DJ, and music producer, Alan Walker. The facelift of the Zephyrus G14 gets a new design and custom ROG Remix sampler to name a few.
The Zephyrus G14 AW SE packs a 14-inch WQHD 120Hz screen, AMD Ryzen 9-5900HS CPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti 4GB GDDR6 GPU, 16GB RAM, and 1TB PCIE3 SSD. In addition, it features unique color accents, like the Spectre Blue shade of the AniMe Matrix LED array that is exclusive to this machine. The nameplate sports a similar color along with Walker’s signature next to the ROG logo. This nameplate is manufactured with a physical vapor deposition process that reflects and changes from different angles. Two fabric belts add to ROG’s signature cyberpunk flair, with one belt using a reflective text.
The packaging and box with an acrylic top cover is an accessory. Connect the box to the G14 with a USB Type-C cable and it turns into the ROG Remix sampler, with conductive pads on the surface that allow users to trigger 18 of Walker’s own sound effects. It composes of Alan Walker’s tracks or import your own tunes into the custom software, developed with Walker and his team. ROG Remix also displays unique ROG and Alan Walker-inspired animations on the main screen of the laptop and AniMe Matrix panel based on the MIDI inputs selected.
The laptop also has a custom boot animation and Alan Walker wallpaper. The glass touchpad is shaded with a customized pattern inspired by a music equalizer, alongside keycaps matching Alan Walker’s signature colors—plus A and W keys with the producer’s logo printed on top. An Alan Walker and ROG-styled baseball cap and pair of socks also come bundled with a special edition of the ROG Sleeve.
The ASUS Zephyrus G14 Alan Walker Special Edition will be available starting August 19, 2021, in Gray with Spectre Blue AniMe Matrix LED and is priced at PHP 109,995 exclusively at ROG Concept Stores in the Philippines. It will come bundled with a ROG Remix Sampler, ROG Sleeve, Alan Walker Baseball Cap, and Alan Walker Socks.


Just when Manchester United thought they were turning the corner, they reverted to their very worst version of themselves and were blown apart by Bournemouth on Saturday, losing 3-0 at home in embarrassing fashion.
Erik ten Hag's side should have been galvanised by a hugely encouraging win over Chelsea last time out, but instead looked shaky from start to finish and were played off the park by Andoni Iraola's brave and dynamic side.
Dominic Solanke tapped the visitors into an early lead following a lightning quick break before Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi scored headers in the second half. Bournemouth thought they were about to record the biggest win of the season at Old Trafford when Dango Ouattara added a fourth in added time, but VAR took mercy on United.
Most home fans had already left Old Trafford at that point though, fed up with the shockingly bad performance they had just witnessed.

Obama: Ukraine needs elections and a unity government
US President on Wednesday commented the events in Ukraine. He says he does not perceive Ukraine as a “cold war chessboard”.
“My hope is at this point that a truce may hold... ultimately the government is responsible for making sure that we shift towards some sort of unity government, even if it’s temporary. That allows us to move to fair and free elections so that the will of the Ukrainian people can be rightly expressed without the kinds of chaos we’ve seen on the streets,” Obama said at a press conference on Wednesday, reports RIA Novosti news agency.
The US President disagrees with notion that the crisis in Ukraine is a reflection of confrontation between Washington and Moscow.
“Our view is not to see it as some Cold War chessboard where we are in competition with Russia” Obama said.


Tributes to UN Secretary-General Annan
John Rankin, the Governor, paid tribute today to the late Kofi Annan, the former Secretary-General of the United Nations.
Mr Annan, a Ghanaian diplomat who served as Secretary-General from 1997 to 2006, died on Saturday, aged 80.
In a statement from Government House this afternoon, Mr Rankin said: “As UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has commented, Kofi Annan was a statesman and champion of peace who showed that moral leadership can make a big difference.
“I have no doubt that then Governor Sir John Vereker was delighted to receive Mr Annan and his wife, Nane, at Government House in 2005.
“The Bermuda Cedar Tree which he planted in Government House Gardens continues to thrive.”
Condolences also came from Leonard Teye-Botchway, the Honorary-Consulate of Ghana.
Dr Teye-Botchway echoed the tribute paid to Mr Annan by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the President of Ghana, who said: “The Government and people of Ghana, First Lady Rebecca and I are deeply saddened by the news of the death, in Bern, Switzerland, of one of our greatest compatriots, Mr Kofi Annan.
“I extend, on behalf of the entire Ghanaian nation, our sincere, heartfelt condolences to his beloved widow, Nane Maria, and to his devoted children, Ama, Kojo and Nina, on this great loss. I am, however, comforted by the information, after speaking to Nane Maria, that he died peacefully in his sleep.”
Mr Akufo-Addo added: “Consummate international diplomat and highly respected former Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr Kofi Annan was the first from sub-Saharan Africa to occupy this exalted position.
“He brought considerable renown to our country by this position and through his conduct and comportment in the global arena. He was an ardent believer in the capacity of the Ghanaian to chart his or her own course onto the path of progress and prosperity.
“Undoubtedly, he excelled in the various undertakings of his life, leaving in his trail most pleasant memories. His was a life well-lived. Rest in perfect peace, Kofi. You have earned it. God bless.”
Dr Teye-Botchway said that the Ghanaian flag would fly at half-mast at the Consulate, starting today, for one week.
A book of condolences will be opened in Mr Annan’s honour at the Consulate, between noon and 6pm, starting tomorrow.
The office is located at suite six at 129 Front Street in Hamilton.

text: PURPOSE: Current diagnostic modalities frequently carry false negative evaluations, especially in micro-metastasis. Some metastases are identified incidentally during the operation for primary colorectal cancer. Our study was performed to assess the clinicopathological characteristics of intraoperatively diagnosed liver metastases, to analyze the survival and the prognosis, to compare the results with those for preoperatively diagnosed liver metastases. METHODS: Between July 1989 and December 2001, the cases of 78 patients who underwent treatment for intraoperatively diagnosed liver metastasis at our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. There were 375 patients who were diagnosed with liver metastasis preoperatively during the same period. Metachronous liver metastases were excluded. RESULTS: Intraoperatively diagnosed liver metastases mostly showed clinicopathological characteristics of primary colorectal cancer similar to those for preoperatively diagnosed liver metastases. On the other hand, the preoperative serum CEA level was significantly lower in the intraoperatively diagnosed group than it was in the preoperatively diagnosed group (P<0.001). For the metastatic lesion, the size of the metastasis was smaller in the intraoperatively diagnosed group than it was in the preoperatively diagnosed group (P=0.03). The two-year survival rate of the intraoperatively diagnosed group was significantly better than that of the preoperatively diagnosed group (71.6% vs. 58.4%; P=0.031). Prognostic factors of the intraoperatively diagnosed group were the number of liver metastases, a curative operation for the primary cancer, and an operation for the metastatic lesion. CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperatively diagnosed liver metastases had biologic features similar to those of preoperatively diagnosed liver metastases. The survival rate of the intraoperatively diagnosed group was better than that of the preoperatively diagnosed group, possibly due to the curative resection for the hepatic metastases. Therefore, aggressive treatment for primary and metastatic lesions is the therapeutic choice to improve patient's survival for intraoperatively diagnosed synchronous liver metastases.

Why Not a Private Seller
If you’re buying from a private seller, don’t expect for many options. There won’t be a trade-in option because sellers want cash not another vehicle. This means financing might not be available either. Unlike in a dealership, you don’t own your time during car inspection. If you bring along a technician to check the car, you will still have to wait until the seller and the car become available.
Why a Dealership
The reasons are pretty obvious actually—more options that match your budget and driving specifications, selling process that follows strict state and federal laws, paperwork managed by the dealer and not by you, intact car warranty, and more. You even have the choice to take out financing if you don’t have enough money to pay in full. Plus, there will be trade-in options.
Of course, both options have their fair share of disadvantages. It just happens that buying from a offers more perks, especially if you are buying a car for the first time. If you are considering taking out a loan but you have a low credit rating, there are auto dealers that offer bad credit auto loan, which can definitely help. In terms of servicing, your vehicle is in good hands if you purchase it from a car dealership.

At Gonzaga University sexual violence has not gone unseen.
In the 2017 Campus Climate Survey, 2,505 GU community members answered questions about diversity, inclusion and discrimination. In this survey, a section was dedicated to gender-based discrimination, including sexual violence and misconduct. The results found that a total of 11% of respondents indicated that they had experienced unwanted sexual contact/conduct.
If broken down further, 19% experienced relationship violence, 2% stalking, 5% experienced unwanted sexual interaction (cat calling, repeated sexual advances, sexual harassment , etc.) 3% experienced unwanted sexual conduct (fondling, rape, sexual assault, penetration without consent) while being a member of the GU community.
A significant portion of these incidents went unreported. Of the 5% who experienced unwanted sexual interaction, 91% did not report because it didn’t seem “serious enough.” Those who experienced relationship violence didn’t know if they could report and of those who experienced unwanted sexual conduct, 87.7% did not report the incident.
However, all students are protected under Title IX to not experience such discrimination. So what does it look like when their Title IX rights are infringed upon?
Title IX Director Stephanie Whaley is in charge of responding to reports of such infringement at GU.
The process is first started by completing a report, which can be filed online at www.gonzaga.edu/sexualmisconduct or by calling:
- Whaley: (509) 313-6910;
- Title IX Investigator, Matt Nelson: (509) 313-3998
- Center for Cura Personalis: (509) 313-2227
- Campus Security & Public Safety: (509) 313-2222
“Many of our reports come from concerned friends, faculty, parents,” Whaley said. “Oftentimes when we’re getting reports, we are wanting to make sure they are aware of their resources and let them know a report has been made [on their behalf].”
Because all staff and faculty are required by university policy to be mandatory reporters, they must tell Whaley the information that has been shared with them. This information leads to a reach out to the concerned parties to see if they want to move forward with a complaint or investigation."
“We have a policy here to have all reports reported to me, mainly because most of the faculty, staff are not trained to be able to work with a student in crisis, or know what the appropriate resources are,” she said.
Once someone has filed a report for themselves, or one was done on behalf of someone, Whaley begins by doing a check-in. This is where Whaley will connect the person with services and notify the other party of the report being filed against them while also connecting them to the same resources.
The accused is connected with an adviser, while Gonzaga Lutheran Community Services University Confidential Campus Advocate Kerri Handley is one of the resources that is connected with the victim.
Handley is a Washington State Certified Crime Victim Advocate which means she was trained and certified to be a confidential resource to victims who may be looking for support. With her certification, communication between her and her clients is privileged.
“If a student chooses to move forward in the disciplinary process or reporting on campus, I can be there every step of the way for them, sometimes I am able to help coordinate the initial meetings, and for interested students even arrange to have our facility dog present to provide support as they begin the reporting/investigative process on campus, and I can follow their case through completion and beyond,” she said.
Whaley also connects the parties involved with GU’s Health and Counseling services.
“We are a confidential office on campus,” said Libby Skiles, assistant dean of Student Well-Being & Healthy Living. "We don’t report or share any information that is disclosed to a counselor or other clinician with Title IX or any other University office."
Along with free counseling, the health center also provides STI testing, other clinical care in follow up to any incident that occurs, Skiles said. For faculty and staff, counseling and health services are provided through their benefit packages, according to Whaley.
Health and Counseling, however, is a confidential resource just like Handley. Information shared with those resources is not shared unless there is imminent danger, or if the person is a minor.
After the report is filed, the is a legal obligation to have it investigated.
“[Reports are] investigated [through the] Title IX office,” Whaley said. “All we do is collect the information, organize it into a report and make a determination on whether there is significant enough information to forward it on for a hearing.”
Reports are closed if there no evidence to support the accusation that came forward, or if there is evidence that contradicts what was written in the report. Eye-witness accounts, photos or record of communication is all evidence.
As long as there is enough evidence to support that there is a 50% likelihood the events occurred then the case will move onto a hearing that is conducted by a group of three faculty and staff volunteers.
“[There is] a collection of faculty and staff on campus who have been specifically trained to be panelists on those type of university conduct boards,” Whaley said.
Panelists are trained on how to weigh evidence and determine if someone is responsible.
According to Whaley, there are specific rights that are given to parties involved in Title IX cases. Such as right to share their side, an investigation, counsel — legal or familial — and to be notified of any meetings being held in regards to the report.
Once the hearing concludes and a decision is made, consequences are determined on a case-by-case basis.
“Student can’t get in trouble with Title IX, they can get in trouble for violating school policy,” Whaley said. “Title IX just makes sure that policy is aligned with the law."
"It all comes back to ensuring students feel heard, are supported and empowered, and they understand they do not have to go through this alone," Handley said.
To receive any current help, Zags are welcomed to contact Whaley or Handley can be reached at 509.342.8564 or at GUadvocate@lcsnw.org for any confidential help. For confidential, anonymous help Lutheran Community Services 24/7 advocacy support number for survivors call 509.624.7273.
