MISSION FAMILY SURVIVES PLANE CRASH
April 2008
This article is written by Keith Mosier, who we sent to the Democratic Republic of Congo. His parents and two siblings were on board the aircraft that crashed in Goma.
Though a thousand shall fall at thy side...It shall not come nigh thee.
There is a lot of news that I could mention: We had a successful evangelistic series with 51 baptisms, we've acquired a piece of property on which to build our mission, and there have been many other blessings which I'm not going to write about at this time. What I'm going to write about is very sobering.
I'm sure many of you have heard that there was a major plane crash in the Democratic Republic of Congo. What you may not know is that my family was on that plane. Were it not for the grace of God they would have died in the crash.
I arrived at the Kisangani airport to receive them after receiving a message not even an hour before that they were safely in the airplane ready for takeoff. I was looking forward seeing them as it's been over 7 months since I've seen my Mom, my little sister April, and my baby brother Andrew. And I hadn't seen my Dad since the CFM board meeting in February.
I had a lot of joy in my heart when I arrived at the airport thinking their plane had already arrived. However I soon learned that there had been a problem and the plane had not yet arrived. I asked at the desk of Hewa Bora Airlines. Hewa Bora means best air. That's when I received the bad news. They told me that the plane had crashed just after leaving the runway and landed on some houses. They said it was still burning as we spoke. I asked if there was any survivors and they told me that they'd had a few phone calls from people who made it out safe. Someone else told me outside that everyone had been killed (I found out later that he was wrong).
When they asked if I was waiting for someone on that plane, I told them that 4 of the people I'm closest to in the entire world were on that plane: My Mom, My Dad, And a younger Brother and Sister. I started crying immediately but I still had to buy a phone card and make some calls to find out. I had a strong hope that they made it out, but I had no way of knowing. I couldn't imagine them dying when they still have so much to do. I feel that I need their help and advice in the years ahead. How could I face people in my Home church if My family had died in the Mission Field. How could this be a part of God's plan. After several phone calls, a lot of prayer and a lot of tears, I decided to go home, realizing that there was nothing I could do.
Before I left the airport I took some time pray at the edge of an open field next to the parking lot. I looked up into the sky and saw the birds flying overhead. "Lord, You made the birds, I know that you have the ability to keep my family alive no matter how bad the crash was. I don't know what happened, but if trust that you will work all things out together for good, just as You have promised to those who love you and those who are called according to your purpose (Rom. 8:28)."
As I prayed I had no news as to the condition of my family, but gave me faith to trust their care to Him knowing that he was watching over the situation. I accepted with joy the fact that He was watching over them and that nothing could happen to them apart from his perfect will. This brought peace to my soul.
A number of people gathered around to see why this white guy was kneeling under the hot sun crying and talking out loud in English. When I looked up I could see some of them were worried about me so I explained the situation and I told them about My Father in Heaven who gives me hope in time of trial. I told them that I've never had such a scary situation in my life, but I trusted the results with My God. I ended up giving about a 3 minute sermon to the 20 or so people gathered there. I guess it seemed like an opportunity to share the Blessed Hope which God has given me (Titus 2:13).
It was about 30 minutes later when I arrived home. The trip being filled with Songs, Sorrow and a lot of Tears. I still didn't know what happened to my family.
When I arrived at home I met pastor Mtenzi who told me that my family was all safe and that he had talked to my dad. The only thing that had happened was that Andrew had a broken leg. (I found out later that mom also had a broken nose.)
I can't express the joy I felt at that moment. Knowing that God had spared there lives and that I would see them again. I cried even more but now my tears were tears of joy. After a while I took a walk by myself and while I was walking a friend called me and told me the number I could use to call my dad. I talked to Dad and Mom and April, and never have I been so happy to hear the sound of their voices!
It seems clear to me that the devil was trying to end the work that God has put before them, but God clearly came out victorious. "A thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand shall fall at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked..." (Psalm 91:7,8).
It was a scary experience for each one of them. My sister April was one of the first out of the plane and she didn't know if Mom, and Dad and Andrew had made it out safe until they met at the hospital. The seats in front of them were smashed down trapping some people underneath and there was a fire behind them that claimed the lives of others, but God's angels stayed close to my family and made it possible for them to get out safely. Many people died in the buildings which the plane crashed into, and a many in the plane were killed and injured. My dad said he went back to the site of the crash today and the whole middle of the plane was burned to ashes. They are a living testimony of God's Saving grace. They all lost their glasses, but they can be replaced. My dad lost his laptop computer with a lot of important information on it but he still has his brain which has more information than the computer ever did. They lost the clothing and tools they were bringing to help us in our work, but none of these things seem important under the current circumstances. They lost everything they had except the clothes on their backs along with the money and passports my dad was carrying, but they trust the promise which says, "my God will supply all your needs according to his riches and glory in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:19
I'm so happy that they have their lives and that seems to be all that matters. I know by this that my family has yet a great work to do for God. He will not allow them to enter the sleep of death until the appointed time has come. Please keep them in your prayers as they recover from this traumatic experience, especially Andrew who will be in a full body cast from his belly down until his femur (leg bone) heals. Please also pray for those who lost loved ones in this terrible accident.
Most of all please wake up to the times we're living in. Jesus is coming soon and he must use us, his people, to bring the warning message to every tribe and language group (Rev. 14:6,7; Matt 24:14). Please pray that my family and I won't become discouraged as we continue to work for lost souls in Africa. We look forward to the day which is not far off, when we will see Him come and our Blessed Hope becomes a Reality.
Yours in the Blessed Hope,
Keith Mosier
FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT OF CONGO PLANE CRASH
by Barry Mosier
Thankful greetings from Goma:
I am sorry that I have been so slow to write to you all. The last couple of days have been a blur.
As most of you know, our family (Barry, Marybeth,April and Andrew) were in a plane crash on Tues afternoon in Goma, DRC as we were traveling to visit our son Keith in Kisangani, DRC.
As the plane took off on the runway (1/3 was covered with lava from a volcano in 2001) in Goma, we were just at the point of liftoff when we heard a small pop under the plane in front of us.it was the front tire blowing out. The pilot did all he could to stop the plane, but it was hopeless with the short runway.
The plane skidded ahead after it left the runway, then a short uplift from a little hill caused the plane to catapult over a building and land on a busy and crowded market. We hit hard and this caused the seats two rows in front of us to collapse down about 4-6 feet. Marybeth and I both lost our eyeglasses upon impact as well as my cell phone. I started looking for my glasses frantically, but April said, "Dad, we have got to get out of here." I looked across the aisle at Marybeth and saw through her window that the plane had burst into flames on the wings where the fuel was stored. I knew we had a lot of fuel, so we knew it could blow up anytime. April leaped ahead while I got out of my seatbelt and we started forward. Then, I realized that Marybeth had not yet gotten up, so I went to help her and Andrew. The stampede of people headed for the front of the plane delayed me, but Marybeth handed Andrew ahead to me. I lost 1 shoe at that point.
I had hardly started to move ahead when I was caught in this mass of humanity and could not budge. Andrew's leg was caught between me and a seat and I couldn't move from the crush of the crowd behind me. I could not leave Andrew. As I pushed back against the crowd, Marybeth seemed to come from nowhere and managed to pull Andrew up. That is when we broke his leg. During this time a woman grabbed me, she was covered in blood on her face. I could hardly see and the plane was so full of smoke I could hardly breathe. Marybeth started crawling over the tops of seats to get ahead. I was at the drop off in front of me due to the seats that had collapsed. I dropped Andrew onto the seat in front of me and jumped down. There were bodies there under the seats. I grabbed Andrew and headed for a hole in the side of the plane. Marybeth was trying to pull the arm of a man trapped under his seat, but could not.He was pleading for help. I handed Andrew out the hole to someone.The plane was now fully engulfed with flames on the outside.No emergency exits got opened and I do not know why, but it may have saved all of us as it prevented the flames from coming into the cabin and burning us immediately.
Marybeth could see that her efforts to pull the man out was delaying the whole crowd, so she left him. We then went out the hole in the side of the plane together. I don't think the man lived and Marybeth cannot forget him pleading for help. We were suffering from smoke inhalation at this point.
April had run ahead from the beginning and said she never saw a drop-off. That is impossible and I will have to wait to heaven to find out how God carried her across it without her knowing. She reached the front of the plane way ahead of us and saw a man pulling fiberglass from a crack in the side of the plane. She told him in Swahili, "We have to open this hole or we are dead." She started helping him pull chunks from the side of the plane to make a hole. When it got big enough for her to pass through, she dived through it, but got stuck half way. Someone pushed her out the rest of the way.
She started looking for a white face, but no one paid any attention to her. The exterior was complete chaos. The plane had crashed into a busy market and everyone was screaming and running around. Bodies were on the ground and people were burning. She finally saw a French man who had escaped through a window and he helped her to move away from the plane as it seemed it would explode any second. She never saw us get out of the plane.
When we got out, we started looking for Andrew, but without glasses, could hardly see. We started running looking for him and the man who had taken him thought he must be the child of someone else since he was black and we were white. People grabbed us and started pulling us away from the plane which was now an inferno. Finally, a man came and put Andrew into our arms. We had to convince him that he was ours. I looked in my pocket and was amazed to find our passports still there. I showed him and he agreed to give us Andrew. Then we started looking for April, but a police vehicle stopped and pulled us in. They raced us to a very good hospital which was in total chaos at that point with wounded people. We collapsed onto a bench in shock and waited for April. We started describing April to people around us and a Filipino man said he was the one to push her out the hole in the plane. Then, we knew she was alive. We shouted for joy.
People kept going by on stretchers who were burned. We couldn't believe we were not hurt, only cuts and bruises. Andrew was in shock, and we did not know his leg was broken just below the crotch. After 20 minutes, we saw April coming and screamed for joy. We hugged and hugged. April had told people that her parents burned up in the plane and were dead. She could hardly believe we were there. Marybeth kept saying, "I can't believe we are all alive."
We then left our names there and got a taxi to the Union office to get news to Keith who was waiting for us in Kisangani; he had only heard that the plane had crashed.
When we got there, we got news to Pastor Mtenzi who contacted Keith. Then someone told us that Andrew's leg was swollen. For sure it was and we headed back for the hospital where we got x-rays and excellent medical help. A team from Denver happened to be in town, but the hospital itself did a fantastic job. They put Andrew in a cast from just below the rib cage to his toes. He cannot even turn over by himself now.
That night we stayed with the Union treasurer-a Tanzanian man. They have all been so helpful to us. The embassy man asked if he could release my phone number from my borrowed cell phone. We decided that if God's name could be glorified, it was the right thing to do. Wednesday, we must have done 20 phone interviews as well as taking Andrew back for more x-rays. It was a very tiring day. The x-rays showed that they might have to reset Andrew's leg.
Today we found out that the leg will heal fine and we finally got some eyeglasses. How wonderful it is to see again.
We praise God that we are alive according to God's mercy. I have to leave the email place now as it is closing. I will write again. We thank God for his protection and for so many answered prayers. Thanks to all of you who lift up our names before the throne of Grace day by day. That is the reason we are alive.
We know God has more work for us to do as he has spared us. I wish I could write more. Sorry I have to end this.
Thank you all and PRAISE BE TO GOD!
Barry, Marybeth, April and Andrew.
P.S. We hope to fly on in a safe airline to Kisangani on Monday next week.
UPDATE
Greetings to all from the Mosiers:
I wish I could respond to all the emails of prayers, encouragement, and blessings that we have received. [We] have really been touched by all of your expressions of love for our family [and] can never express our deep appreciation.
After Thursday when we found out that Andrew's leg would heal alright, we were greatly relieved. had taken digital pictures of the x-rays after the cast was set and sent them to friends in America who forwarded them to experts who could give us assurance that the bones were aligned in such a way that they would heal. We were thankful for help. The eyeglasses we got Thursday were temporary and not perfect, we are grateful to see again!
So, on Friday we were hoping to be able to secure a flight for Monday to Kisangani and buy some clothes and shoes. (For me, 3 days in the same underwear, socks and pants and still wearing borrowed shoes.)
The airline Hewa Bora was offering us a free ride to Kisangani to fulfill their obligation for our ticket. Sure, April and Marybeth said, "No Way." [We] all agreed that they had failed in their first try to kill us and we didn't feel like giving them a second chance. They usually fly without incident, [but] we could not face to get on their plane again so soon. Kind friends advised us to check with an organization called Airserv. They service many NGO's with humanitarian and relief flights in Congo and other countries. They were most helpful, but their regularly scheduled flights to Kisangani were full for a week ahead. They offered to take us the next day on Sabbath. We normally do not travel on Sabbath, we felt the Lord opening this door, so we agreed. First they offered to charge us for only 1 way and they would pay the empty return trip themselves. We were happy and paid the fees. When the director saw that it took most of the money we had left, he said they would take us for free. We were so happy for their kindness!
Our attempts to buy some clothes didn't work out as that day every store in town was closed for a citywide day of mourning. Fortunately, we met several Americans who recognized us and gave us clothes from their own closets as well as some help from the ADRA office. Kind Christian Americans from the Assemblies church were especially generous with any help they could give-time and time again. Our own church leaders were feeding us, housing us and getting us everywhere we needed to go.
In the afternoon, I went to visit the Hewa Bora office. I asked them for a ticket refund and wrote a list of the things we had in our luggage to request compensation. We had been taking quite a lot of things for the new mission, so it was not a small loss, although compared to our lives, it was nothing. Some of the things were Keith's and Pastor Mtenzi's personal possessions. I don't hold up much hope of compensation, but at least a claim is filed and I will give a copy to the US Embassy to follow up. The leaders said they would at least compensate for the ticket price and consider more.
Sabbath morning after giving our testimony and thanks for Sabbath school, we headed for the airport. At least we had not had to give interviews for the previous 24 hours, as Wednesday's all day interviews had left us pretty tired. When we arrived at the airport, we saw photographers coming with big cameras and thought, "oh no, maybe they are here for something else," it turned out, it was a crew from National Geographic Magazine doing a documentary on Congo Aviation-with part of their feature on AirServ. Before the flight, they interviewed our whole family about the crash. Even though we missed church that day, I can say we preached a sermon as best we could to the National Geographic audience.
The pilots were two Americans and we felt like royalty in our seats on the Cessna 208C. (Andrew was on his stretcher which was strapped to the floor due to his chest to toe cast.) We all felt very strange getting onto a plane again on that runway after only 4 days. As we took off, we looked down on the wreckage at the end of the runway and from the air, I realized just how very short this runway is. The flight was smooth and we landed safely, thanking our benefactors so much for their help. At the airport, the employees all remembered Keith weeping just a few days ago at the airport when he got the news that our plane had crashed. When we met Keith, we all hugged and praised God for His great mercy. The airport employees were cheering.
After we met the Mtenzi family, we all wept and laughed and prayed together. We ate a big feast. They had prepared a similar feast just 4 days before when they heard that we had all died on the plane. I was just explaining these feelings today to People Magazine as they want to write about what happened.
So we have finally reached Kisangani to see Keith. Our time together has been and will be very sweet together over the next two weeks. An added benefit has been that the Land Cruiser that they bought 6 weeks ago arrived today by airplane and we all drove it to the rented house where we stay together. I really don't know how they managed to conduct a lay training school for 70 students, an evangelistic effort and search for property for the new mission without a car, but they did. Fifty-one people who were baptized after the effort are the trophies for God's glory and the wages that they receive for their labors in Africa.
And for us, we continue to thank God for his great mercy and goodness to us.
Three days ago, we went back to see the wreckage of the crash. There was a little bit of the cabin left in front, some of the tail, and the tips of the wings left. The rest was burned to ashes. People were scavenging the ashes for anything of value. We had thought maybe there would be something left of our luggage. We didn't even bother to get out of the car to look as there was nothing but smoldering ashes. The main thought in my mind was that I should be in those ashes with my family-except for God's grace to us. We are alive and will continue to serve our gracious God and sing praises to His name. We are praying about joining Keith in his work here in Congo, trusting the Lord will make His will clear to us.
Someday soon, Jesus will return. We will either have life or we will be ashes. After this experience, I can urge each one to be ready each day to meet Him. Don't delay, he wants all of us to be ready.

The art collection of Ismar Littmann (1878–1934), a German lawyer who lived in Breslau, comprised 347 paintings and watercolors and 5,814 drawings from artists such as Lovis Corinth, Max Pechstein, Erich Heckel, Max Liebermann, Käthe Kollwitz, Lucien Adrion, and Otto Mueller.

Collector
Ismar Littmann was a patron of cultural life in Wroclaw. He supported young artists, helped found the local Jewish Museum, served as a board member of the "Society of Friends of Art", and promoted modern art.

Nazi persecution
After the Nazis came to power in 1933, Littmann was persecuted because he was Jewish. Banned from practicing law, socially and politically marginalized, and economically devastated, he died by suicide in 1934.

Forced sales and Gestapo seizures
To survive, Littmann's widow Käthe Littmann was forced to sell her possessions, including 156 works which were to be sold through the Max Perl auction house in Berlin. Two days before the auction, however, 64 works, including 18 from the Littmann collection, were confiscated by the Gestapo because of "typical cultural Bolshevik depiction of a pornographic character". The remaining 182 works were auctioned on February 26 and 27, 1935, but many were not sold and it is not known what became of them.

The 64 confiscated pictures were transferred to the Nationalgalerie in Berlin. The museum director, Eberhard Hanfstaengl, selected four paintings from the Littmann collection, and 14 watercolors for storage. The remaining works were said to have been burned on March 20, 1936 in the heating system of the Kronprinzenpalais. In 1937, four paintings from the Littmann collection were displayed at the infamous Nazi "Degenerate Art" exhibition in Munich, after which some were sold to raise cash for the Nazi regime.

Restitution
Since the 1960s, Ismar Littmann's heirs have been demanding restitution of Littmann's art collection. In 1961 the confiscation of six paintings was recognized and in partial settlement compensation of 32,000 DM was paid. A second settlement concerning the Nazi seizure of 1177 artworks was concluded in 1965, with DM 12,000 in compensation. The inventories of the Littmann Collection were found at the end of the 1990s, and research has been carried out since then into the whereabouts of the collection.

Since 1999, on the basis of the Washington Declaration, six paintings and one drawing have been restituted to Littmann's heirs, however others have been refused, notably by the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg for an Emil Nolde. The heirs were able to identify a further seven works, which makes it clear that only 15 of the more than 6,000 works were found.

In 2021 "Buchsbaumgarten" a painting by Emil Nolde that had belonged to Ismar Littmann was auctioned at the Ketterer auction house, following a settlement agreement with the Lehmbruck Museum.

Individual works
The four paintings that were shown in the exhibition "Degenerate Art" have the following provenance stories:

 Otto Mueller: Knabe vor zwei stehenden und einem sitzenden Mädchen, Öl auf Leinwand, 1918/1919

 In 1935 the painting was confiscated from the Perl auction house and then stored in the Kronprinzen-Palais in Berlin. The Güstrow art dealer Bernhard H. Boehmer bought it in 1940 from the inventory that had been declared usable. After a gap of 39 years in its provenance, it was sold to the publisher Henri Nannen for 260,000 DM in 1979 via the Achim Moeller Gallery, London, later it came to the Henri and Eske Nannen Foundation and was exhibited in the Kunsthalle Emden. Having become aware of the Littmann case through press reports, the Kunsthalle examined the provenance of the painting in 1998. After confirming that the picture came from the Littmann Collection, the Board of Trustees recommended restitution. The Friends of the Museum organized the repurchase of the work of art from the heirs for 1.2 million DM.

 Otto Mueller: Zwei weibliche Halbakte, Leimfarbe auf Rupfen, 1919

 This painting, too, was confiscated from the Perl auction house in 1935, stored in the Kronprinzen-Palais in Berlin, and picked out in 1937 for the "Degenerate Art" exhibition. In 1939 the art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt bought the work for US $ 150 and sold it on to the collector Josef Haubrich. The picture was donated to the city of Cologne through him in 1946. There it was exhibited in the Museum Ludwig. At the request of the heirs, the painting was restituted in 1999 in accordance with the Washington Declaration.

 Karl Hofer, Sitzender weiblicher Akt auf blauem Kissen, Öl auf Leinwand, 1927

 The painting was confiscated from the Perl auction house in 1935, stored in the Kronprinzen-Palais in Berlin, and shown in the 1937 exhibition "Degenerate Art". The provenance history of this work is not publicly known; according to the coordination office in Magdeburg, it was restituted to the heirs in 2002.

 The fourth painting from the Littman Collection that was shown in the "Degenerate Art" exhibition was a nude by Franz Radziwill. Nothing is known about its whereabouts.

Other works from the Littmann Collection that have been restituted:

 Lucien Adrion, La Procession, Öl auf Leinwand, 1927

 The picture was auctioned in 1935 by the Perl auction house in Berlin. In an unexplained way, it came into the possession of the judge and active resistance fighter against National Socialism, Ernst Strassmann. The Ernst Strassmann Foundation, which did not know its origin, put the painting in an auction at the Villa Grisebach in Berlin in November 2002. Upon publication, the work was identified by the Art Loss Register as part of the former Littman Collection. After the facts were announced, the foundation took it out of the auction and returned it to the heirs.

 Alexander Kanoldt: Olevano, Öl auf Leinwand, 1927

 The painting was consigned to the Perl auction house in 1935, and in 1951 it was added to the collection of the National Gallery in Berlin. In February 2001 it was returned to the heirs according to the Washington Declaration.

 Lovis Corinth: Porträt Charlotte Corinth, Öl auf Leinwand, 1915

 The painting came from the Perl auction house to the Berlin National Gallery after 1935 and was sold from there in 1940. It later came into the possession of the Hamburgische Landesbank, which wanted to sell it in an auction in November 2000. It was identified as looted art and returned to Littmann's heirs.

 Otto Mueller: Akt an Baum lehnend, Zeichnung

 This drawing was identified as part of the Littmann Collection and restituted to the heirs by the Kupferstichkabinett Berlin in 2000.

Paintings found but not restituted:

 Emil Nolde, Buchsbaumgarten, Öl auf Leinwand, 1909

 At the Max Perl auction in 1935, this painting was sold to Karl Arnold, also a Jew, for 350 RM. He died in October 1935, his family emigrated and were able to take the picture with them. It was auctioned off in 1956 by the Ketterer auction house in Stuttgart, the Lehmbruck Museum, Duisburg acquired it for DM 3,600. It is still there today. In April 2000, the city of Duisburg refused to return it on the grounds that one Jewish fate could not be played off against another. The museum declined to give advice to the Joint Commission in Magdeburg.

Screened in the Limelight section as part of the latest edition of Rotterdam Film Festival, the Dutch director Clara Van Gool's second feature, The Beast In the Jungle, is a music-based adaptation of the eponymous story by Henry James, The Beast in the Jungle. James' love story, originally set in Victorian England, has been transposed by Van Gool into various historical periods: the late 19th century, the First World War and modern-day London, while its two protagonists, John Marcher (Dane Jeremy Hurst) and May Bartram (Sarah Reynolds) chase each other throughout the film, caught up in a whirlwind of impossible love.
The film has been influenced by numerous important visual references, from Caspar David Friedrich's Wanderer above the Sea of Fog painting, to certain cursed and forgotten cinematic masterpieces, such as Pandora by Albert Lewin and Portrait of Jennie by William Dieterle, built in timeless imaginary worlds. The absence of time and its passing represents the film's founding yet inconceivable basic concept. Time is the true Beast in the Jungle, despite (and here is another of the film's ambiguities) the mantra relayed by the coachman/taxi driver played by Sam Louwyck (The Wild Boys, Baden Baden): time is the only thing we have at our disposal.

El Síndrome de Wernicke - Korsakov és una alteració neurològica causada per la falta de vitamina B1, coneguda amb el nom de tiamina. La encefalopatia de Wernicke i la psicosi de Korsakov són, respectivament, la fase aguda i crònica de la malaltia. L'encefalopatia de Wernicke és una alteració neurològica aguda i reversible. En el cas que no es reverteixi a temps apareix la fase crònica del síndrome, la psicosi de Korsakov.

La Tiamina forma part de les vitamines hidrosolubles que participen en moltes de les reaccions químiques de l'organisme. La tiamina, és la vitamina B1, que ajuda a les cèl·lules de l'organisme a transformar hidrats de carboni en energia. Així doncs, un cop transformats poden donar energia al cos i, sobretot, al cervell i sistema nerviós.

Història
La encefalopatia de Wernicke va ser descrita per Carl Wernicke l'any 1881. Més tard, l'any 1887, Serguéi Korsakoff va donar a conèixer el síndrome o psicosi de Korsakoff. Aquest apareix quan els símptomes de l'encefalopatia comencen a minvar. Així doncs, són dos fases de la mateixa malaltia neurològica

Epidemiologia
La incidència del Síndrome de Wernicke - Korsakov és major en homes, duplicant a les dones, i en edats compreses entre 30 i 70 anys. La seva prevalencia en pacients alchòlics és d'entre el 12,5% fins a 59%. Tot i així, aquesta es considera infraestimada.

Fisiopatologia

Les àreas més afectades en aquesta patologia són: el cerebel, l'hipotàlem i el còrtex cerebral. La tiamina és una vitamina B1 hidrosoluble que participa en el metabolisme dels hidrats de carboni. Aquesta vitamina es troba present en molts aliments, com arrós, carn, llegums... i, en pacients alchòlics, es produeix un dèficit per tenir una dieta inadequada.

Aquesta actua com a cofactor d'enzims com la transcetolasa, claus en el metabolisme energètic. i altres relacionats amb els lípids i proteïnes. Alguns exemples, participa en la producció de mielina, en la síntensi de neurotransmissors, entre altres.

El dèficit de tiamina provoca una disminució de l'activitat dels enzim esmentats anteriorment i, en conseqüència, el metabolisme disminueix i es produeix un estrés oxidatiu que comporta la necrosi neuronal i lesions estructurals importants.

Signes i símptomes
Els símptomes que es presenten són:

 Atàxia: en bipedestació i en la marxa. Es presenta en forma de marxa lenta i inestable i pot evolucionar fins a incapacitat per assentar-se o marxa sense ajuda externa.
 Alteració mental: Desorientació, apatia, falta de concentració, falta d'atenció, al·lucinacions... En els casos més greus estupor o coma.
 Canvis en la visió: Incidència d'entre el 29% i el 96%. Es pot presentar amb nistagme vertical/horitzontal, diplopia, estrabisme intern, entre altres.
 Pèrdua de memòria
 Incapacitat de forma nous records
 Debilitat
 Atròfia muscular
 Hipotensió
 Taquicàrdia
 Desnutrició
 Altres.
Tot i la diversitat de simptomatologia, hi ha la triada clàssica: Confusió o alteració de consciència, atàxia i paràlisi oculomotora. Un 20% dels casos poden presentar altres simptomatologia i no tenen cap dels símptomes de la triada

Diagnòstic
El diagnòstic és bàsicament clínic, és a dir, es basa en la simptomatologia que presenta la persona basada en la triada clàssica d'atàxia, alteracions oculars i síndrome confusional. Aquests signes i símptomes es poden presentar simultàniament o no. Generalment, l'atàxia és la primera alteració que apareix en aquests casos.

Tot i així, s'ha demostrat que durant molt de temps no eren ni són diagnosticats clínicament. Per aquest motiu, l'any 1997 Caine et al van presentar nous criteris per millorar el diagnòstic precoç de l'Encefalopatia de Wernick en pacients alcohòlics i, en conseqüència evitar l'aparició de la demència de Korsakov. Dels criteris presentats es considera que s'han de detectar com a mínim 2 o més d'ells per establir el diagnòstic.

Diagnòstic clínic de l'Encefalopatia de Wernick
 Anomalies oculars
 Dèficits en la dieta
 Alteració estat mental o lleu trastorn de la memòria
 Disfunció cerebel·losa

Pel que fa a les proves de laboratori, no hi ha proves que permetin dur a terme el diagnòstic. Existeix la possibilitat d'avaluar l'activitat de l'enzima transcetolasa en hematies que permet observar el dèficit de tiamina. Tot i així, és una prova que no s'utilitza massa per dur a terme el diagnòstic ja que és un procediment complexe de dur a terme i tampoc s'ha demostrat la seva sensibilitat i especificitat.

Referent a les proves d'imatge, la Tomografia Axial Computaritzada (TAC) permet establir un diagnòstic diferencial amb altres patologies neurològiques. La Ressonància magnètica(RM) es considera la prova d'imatge que permet confirmar el diagnòstic, juntament, amb la clínica que presenta la persona. La seva sensibilitat és del 53% i l'especificitat del 93%. També, és una prova utilitzada en el seguiment dels pacients ja diagnosticats La RM s'hauria d'utilitzar com a recolzament en el diagnòstic del Síndrome de Wernick simultàniament amb la triada.

Tot i així, el tractament s'ha d'iniciar de forma precoç davant la sospita , no cal esperar a tenir la prova d'imatge per confirmar el diagnòstic.

Tractament
Un cop diagnosticada la malaltia cal iniciar el tractament de forma precoç per evitar l'evolució de la malaltia i les possibles complicacions. El tractament principal consisteix en l'administració de tiamina per solventar el dèficit d'aquesta. Tot i així, no hi ha estudis que demostron quina és la dosis més adequada ni tampoc la seva via d'administració.

En alguns casos es requereix hospitalització i el control dels símptomes que han aparegut o poden aparèixer. Segons la Federació Europea de Societats de Neurologia recomanen l'administració de 200 mg de tiamina ( sempre diluïda en 100cc de sèrum fisiològic), tres cops al dia. El nivelll d'evidència d'aquesta recomanació és el C. A més a més, cal corregir i adequar la dieta.

Q: Cannot test build Android application on my HTC Evo I cannot test build Android application on my HTC Evo at all. I searched online for answers, but nothing helped, including updating all the software.
The Eclipse launched Emulator doesn't recognize it as an external device either.
Any ideas? I have a presentation at my job tomorrow, and it has to be on the phone.

A: As said above you need to download Drivers separately. You can download HTC Hero drivers from here
Just unzip and refer this path so that eclipse could recognize your device

The first golfer teed off and hooked the ball in that direction. The ball went over the fence and bounced off the bike path onto the road, where it hit the tire of a moving bus and was knocked back on to the fairway.
As they all stood in amazement, one man asked him, "How on earth did you do that?"
He shrugged his shoulders and said, "You have to know the bus schedule."

Q: Intuition Behind Principle of Superposition What's the intuition, and if any, logical argument behind the principle of superposition of electric fields and forces?
The force with which two charges interact is not changed by the presence of a third charge
This is a pretty significant result in electrostatics, which I'm not able to predict using logical arguments such as symmetry, among many other possibilities. So, what's the intuition behind it? Why does it work, and how can we deduce it theoretically?


A long time ago in 1963, when Michigan Nature Association was known as the Macomb Nature Association, there was a sign that stood at the Big Hand Road Plant Preserve that read Nature Sanctuary – Big Hand Road – Macomb Nature Association. The sign lived through rain, blizzard and bitter cold winters to greet visitors at this plant preserve.
On a few occasions a wood thrush known for being a recluse would sit atop the sign and sing a beautiful song that would resonate through the impenetrable silence of the forest. A sudden gush of wind and the little bird would flutter off to the secure refuge of its nest with inner wall of mud high up in a small sapling.
Surrounded by three distinct forest types, the sign stood in a preserve inhabited by various other birds like crested flycatcher, black-billed cuckoo, tufted titmouse, northern yellowthroat, red-eyed towhee among others that would frequently fly past the humble sign. Befriending many birds, trees, insects, and flowers, the sign became an indispensible part of the preserve.
After braving the harsh weather for years finally the time came when the sign at the Big Hand Road Plant Preserve was taken down owing to various factors like a name change from Macomb Nature Association to Eastern Michigan Association in 1965 and then finally to Michigan Nature Association in 1970.
Now a new sign with the new name has taken charge of welcoming visitors at the plant preserve which is now called Bertha A. Daubendiek Memorial Plant Preserve.
This plant preserve continues to be a favorite among nature enthusiasts particularly beginners in nature study and those looking for a short walk on the quarter-mile trail.
The story of the old sign at the Bertha A. Daubendiek Memorial Plant Preserve does not end with the installation of a new sign. Even though inanimate, the purpose and spirit of the sign is kept alive by MNA's staff, stewards, trustees, interns, and volunteers that work consistently to help retain Michigan its natural form.

Q: Shift of the position of extrema I have noticed the following thing and I would like to know if it holds in general.
Having a (positive) function $f(x)$ with extrema (maximum/minimum) and a function $g(x)$ which is strictly decreasing, then the extrema of the product of these functions are shifted to the left in comparison to the original extrema.
Example:
Let $f(x)=e^{-(x-2)^2}$ has a simple maximum at $x_0=2$. Let $g(x)=\frac{1}{x}$ is strictly decreasing.
Taking the product $f(x)g(x)=\frac{e^{-(x-2)^2}}{x}$ we see that the ''original'' maximum shifts to the left to $x_0=1+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$.
First of all, I am wondering if this holds true for any such functions. Intuitively it makes sense - the decreasing function pushes everything to the left. But how can I prove it? Maybe it is some known theorem?
Second, are there some bounds on this "displacement" of the extrema, given the original position and the derivative of the decreasing function? (in my example the difference between original position and shifted position was $1-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$).
Of course, any counterexamples are welcome. Thanks.

A: This does not look like something that is generally true. For instance, what  would be the "shift" when $f(x)g(x)$ has more extrema than $f(x)$.
We have that the extrema of $f(x)g(x) $ are found by solving$$f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x)=0,$$ where we know that $g'(x)<0$. We can't really get anything general out of this, since we still allow $f'(x)$ and $g(x)$ to behave quite erratically.
Take for instance $f(x)=x^2$, $g(x)=-x$ and $h(x)=\frac1x$.  The resulting functions $f(x)g(x)$ and $f(x)h(x)$ don't have the same number of extrema, so what now?
So I would say that you did not stumble upon some general truth, eventhough I could not find functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ where the extrema are actually shifted to the right.

By Moderator | Published: June 25, 2019
Native Americans are continuing to receive recognition across the nation for their activism, artistry and more, and we're sharing some of our favorite headlines from the month of June. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and stay up to date with the latest headlines all year long.
Arizona's first Native American Day is recognized June 2 via AZ Central
"Arizona's first state-recognized Native American Day occurred Sunday, commemorating the date — June 2 — when then President Calvin Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act in 1924. That act granted United States citizenship to any Native American born within the country. The day's recognition came via the passage last year of Senate Bill 1235, introduced by Navajo state Sen. Jamescita Peshlakai, D-Window Rock. It was was signed into law last April by Gov. Doug Ducey. Ducey posted about the day on Twitter Sunday. 'Today, Arizona recognizes and celebrates the rich contributions and history of the Native American people in our state,' Ducey wrote."
Native American activist Frank LaMere dies at age 69 via AP News
"Frank LaMere, a Native American activist who fought for a variety of causes and crusaded to close beer stores near a dry South Dakota Indian reservation, has died. He was 69. LaMere's daughter, Jennifer LaMere, said her father died Sunday at an Omaha hospital. LaMere, who was a Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska member, worked for decades to shutter the four stores in Whiteclay, Nebraska, that sold millions of cans of beer near the dry Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Regulators closed the stores in 2017. LaMere also spoke out against the proposed Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines."
This Google Doodle celebrates a dance performed by Native American women via CNN
"If you're in the United States or Canada, you may have seen the intricately designed Google Doodle above. It celebrates the Jingle Dress Dance performed by Native American women. The dance, which originated with the Ojibwe tribe, serves to 'affirm the power of Native American women,' Google notes in an explanation of the doodle. The doodle was designed by Ojibwe artist Joshua Mangeship Pawis-Steckley.'When I heard the Doodle was about the Jingle Dress Dance, I was eager to get started,' he told Google. 'Watching the dancers at pow wow is one of my favorite things to do.'"
New Mexico mural focuses on missing Native American women via The Salt Lake Tribune
"A new mural in southern New Mexico seeks to honor missing and slain Native Americans amid a nationwide push to bring more attention to the issue. The Las Cruces Sun-News reports artist Sebastian 'Vela' Velazquez recently erected the mural in Las Cruces in conjunction with the city's eighth annual 'Illegal' graffiti art show. The work is part of a large-scale mural wrapping around the entirety of the Cruces Creatives building. In the mural, a Native American woman stands in front with her fist raised. She's screaming and the words below say: 'NO MORE STOLEN SISTERS!'"
'It's long overdue': the first exhibition for Native American female artists via The Guardian
"Walk into most museums and there might be something missing on the wall labels beside Native American artworks – an Apache dress from the 19th century might just read: 'Title, year, materials.' What's missing? The artist's name. Though many of the artists' names were not recorded, and will forever be anonymous, many that have been recorded are now being recognized as never before. Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists is the first ever museum retrospective of Native American and Canadian female artists. It opened at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and until 18 August, over 115 artists from 50 Native communities are being given the credit they deserve."

Ah, Vang Vieng. Considered by many to be the highlight destination in Laos on the famous "Banana Pancake Trail" through Southeast Asia. Vang Vieng is home to adventurous outdoor activities set amongst gorgeous natural scenery.
Yes, it was previously better known for its wild and unregulated river tubing party scene. Now Vang Vieng has cleaned up its act so it's a far less sketchy, but still incredibly fun destination.
You definitely need to spend a couple of nights here to make the most of your time there, so here are some recommendations for how to maximise your fun and adventure – with just 48 hours in Vang Vieng.
If you're coming from Luang Prabang in the north, you're in for one of the most scenic drives in Laos, so try to stay awake. Keep your camera handy to snap some truly stunning shots of the mountainous terrain and vast green valleys out your bus window. The drive from Luang Prabang takes about half a day, so you'll arrive in Vang Vieng by early afternoon and have plenty of time to start enjoying yourself.
After the morning's travel, there is no better way to stretch out and relax than heading directly to the Nam Song River to try the famous river tubing. The river tubing experience is tamer (and much safer) than in days past, but is is still the big bucket list item to tick off here, so don't hesitate to hit the river. You can rent an inner tube from a few places around town and tube hire usually includes a tuk-tuk ride up river to a spot about 10 minutes out of town.
Once you're on the water, just kick back and relax as you float downstream, soaking up the breathtaking views of the beautiful karst mountains towering around you. There are still a few riverside bars along the Nam Song, and they will happily throw you a rope and pull you in when you're ready for some refreshments.
After tubing, it's a good idea to head to one of the restaurants in town to refuel before hitting the bar scene. Gary's Irish Bar or one of the pizzerias offer great hearty tastes of home, so they're your best bet for starting the evening. Even though all the wilder riverside bars closed years ago, there's still a strong nightlife in town. After lining your stomach, you can head over to Jaidee's Bar for a low-key start before moving on to the Full Moon Pub and then the Viva Vang Vieng after the other bars close. If it's a Friday, there's also the weekly Jungle Project party – the best house music party in town which is held in the jungle at the base of the mountains.
With a whole free day ahead of you, you can sleep in if you went hard the night before. However, don't sleep the whole day away because you'll miss out on the other incredible opportunities Vang Vieng has to offer.
If you only do one other thing in Vang Vieng besides the tubing, you absolutely must go for a swim at the Blue Lagoon, one of Laos' best natural swimming holes. It is also one of those place that you can tag #nofilter with pride. With its naturally brilliant blue water, this little piece of paradise is the perfect solution to a hot day or a hangover (or both, if that's the case). Those looking for a physical challenge can mountain bike from town, but be warned that the roads are unsealed and bumpy so a reasonable level of fitness is required. Getting a tuk-tuk is the easier option and worth the extra expense.
While you're there, don't miss out on the chance to tap into your inner Indiana Jones and hike up the stairs on the other side of the lagoon to the cave and visit the Buddhist shrines hidden inside.
Aside from the Blue Lagoon, Vang Vieng truly has activity options for everyone, so choose wisely if you're limited to 48 hours or hop off to stay longer so you have time to do it all!
Epic rock climbing: Outdoor explorers can scale the heights of those staggering karst mountains with a rock climbing course. There are trips available for everyone from first-timers to seasoned pros, ranging from half-day tours through to four-day adventure courses for the serious rock heads.
Volunteer: Those who want to do some good in their down time should consider working at the SAELAO Project, a locally operated volunteer program where you can help with various community projects like teaching English or getting your hands dirty with garden work.
Take tubing to a new level: If you didn't get your fill of tubing the day before, you can kick your tubing experience up a notch by going cave tubing at the Tham Nam (Water Cave). This tubing trip will take you through a flooded cave system in total darkness, with only a rope and a headlamp to guide you. Not for the faint-hearted!
Kayaking: If you want to get out on the water again, but not just passively floating, there are some fabulous kayaking options, some that will take you over rapids for a bit of paddling adrenaline, and even an option to paddle nearly all the way south to Vientiane.
After all the day's adventures and excitement, tonight is the perfect time to treat yourself to a really tasty meal. Vang Vieng is one of the only places in Laos with several international cuisine options, and you are truly spoiled for choice. Mexican, Italian, Korean, Indian – you name it and you can usually find whatever taste of home you're craving!
The Green Restaurant offers excellent views of the Nam Song and serves both Western and Asian cuisine, but the Asian food far outshines the Western. This is the place to try the tasty springs rolls and curry. If you're looking for something more upscale, treat yourself to the riverside Restaurant du Crabe d'Or, which specialises in traditional Lao and French cuisine.
If you're still standing after all the fun, you can hit the party scene again. However, we won't blame you if you take tonight a little easier, especially if you're moving on tomorrow morning.
A great option is to wander through Vang Vieng's new night market. While it can't complete in terms of size with Luang Prabang's sprawling night market, this is still a good one to check out for the variety of clothes, souvenirs and food stalls on offer.
Can't wait to visit Vang Vieng for yourself? Check out Stray's Laos Tours.

Berman Leads Charge From GOP's Right Flank
In 2009, state Rep. Leo Berman's bills — like the ones restricting illegal immigrants to certain geographical regions and denying them access to higher education — failed to gain traction. But with a Republican supermajority now in control, this could very well be the session of Leo.

Sitting in his Texas Capitol office, surrounded by pictures of his storied 22-year military career, the seven-term, 75-year old state Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, said in his distinctive New York accent, "I'm very unusual for a legislator."
His reasoning? "Because I personally answer every e-mail I get," he said.
Berman does not shy from questions about his archconservative legislative agenda, which manages to stand out even in the redder-than-average Texas Legislature.
Last session, his bills — like the one restricting illegal immigrants to certain geographical regions or another denying them access to higher education — failed to gain traction in the roughly evenly divided House. But with this session's Republican supermajority, it could very well be the session of Leo.
"I feel a lot better than I have in the past," Berman said about his bills' chances. "Although if we had a different speaker, I'd be excited." Berman was among 15 representatives who voted against re-electing Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, on the grounds that he is not conservative enough.
It is early yet, Berman said, but so far he has not experienced any retribution for his opposition to the House leadership, though he's made it known that he won't take it lightly if he does. If he suspects any of his bills are being intentionally held up, he said, "I'll have a press conference that same day, and I'll have a press conference every day if I have to."
While he hopes the Legislature balances the state's cash-strapped budget without tax increases and gets through the redistricting process without a challenge, his personal legislative priority is curbing illegal immigration.
He has filed his own version of Arizona's Senate Bill 1070, as well as bills mandating that employers verify employees' legal status electronically, making English the state's official language and eliminating birthright citizenship — an issue he hopes provokes a lawsuit he can take all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Another bill would add an 8 percent surcharge on money wired back to Latin America, which he would earmark for hospitals providing free health care to illegal immigrants — who Berman says are bringing in drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria, polio, plague and leprosy.
(According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, the only incident of plague in Texas in the last decade was in 2006, and it was contracted during a hunting trip in New Mexico. The most recent case of polio in Texas, contracted during an individual's travels abroad, was in 1995.)
"We want to make things not uncomfortable, but do things in such a way that they're going to self-deport," Berman said.
A first-generation American, Berman knows the significance of immigration in the country's history. His parents came through Ellis Island in the 1920s — his father from Latvia and his mother from Poland. They learned English, opened a business and flourished. "That was a long time ago," Berman said. "Now, we have no Ellis Island. We just have a wide-open southern border where people are climbing through the fence, and they are illegal aliens."
Berman's stance puts him uncharacteristically at odds with members of the state's conservative business community, like Texas Association of Business President Bill Hammond, who believes immigration reform is a federal matter. "I think most of what's being proposed is unconstitutional," Hammond said. "The Constitution is pretty clear that immigration is a federal matter. I hold Rep. Berman in very high regard and consider him a friend, and as friends will do from time to time, we disagree in this area."
Berman's immigration bills, and their heightened chances of moving this session, are one factor that led state Rep. Lon Burnam, D-Fort Worth, who is as liberal as Berman is conservative, to call this "the most racist session of the Texas Legislature in a quarter of a century." Not since the mid-20th century, Burnam said, has the state seen so much legislation focused at subjugating a community of color. "All of this legislation is really directed that way," he said. "Everybody knows it. They can pretend like it's not, but it is."
Berman began the session on a wave of national attention for a bill requiring future presidential hopefuls to submit their birth certificate to the Texas secretary of state.
With trademark frankness, he acknowledges that it was inspired by his misgivings about President Barack Obama, who Berman personally believes was born in Mombasa, Kenya, after his mother went into labor while swimming in the ocean during a vacation. He says the label "birther" does not embarrass him, and as a longtime board member of the historically black Texas College, he dismisses accusations that this or any of his bills are motivated by race.
"I'm just a person who wants to see fact," he said.
Though the Obama campaign produced a certificate of live birth from Hawaii and the director of Hawaii's Department of Health confirmed Obama was born there, Berman, in all his searching, says he's found little information to reassure him about the president. "The latest rumor I hear, and I don't know if this is true or not," Berman said, "is that he's used about 25 different Social Security numbers." Asked where he gets his information, Berman cites e-mails and online video clips. "YouTubes are infallible," he said.
Whatever his reasoning, he is not alone in desiring such legislation. "He's not swinging by himself," said Chris Elam, a spokesman for the Republican Party of Texas. "There's a platform plank out there." In fact, there are platform planks for many of Berman's most attention-getting legislation. And recent polls indicate that his immigration initiatives have strong support among Texans.
"I think he represents a significant segment of the Texas population," said Edinburg state Rep. Aaron Peña, who recently switched to the Republican Party. "I've known Rep. Berman for eight years and know him to be earnest and sincere."
That's exactly how Berman wants to be known. "If I tell you something, I'm going to do it," he said. "The only thing a person has that can't be taken away is integrity."


The 2-story mansion with the fenced courtyard, which continues to stand out among the buildings of the historical Agiou Andreou Street, is one of the first neoclassical buildings of Limassol declared preserved and restored to its original form. And so, though its construction dates to approximately 1885, it still stands with its image unaltered to this day.
Aristocles Pilavakis, the prominent industrial merchant to whom the city owes the founding of the Coastal Shipping Company of Limassol (AEL), the first Eastern Mediterranean Steam Shipping Company, built this mansion with the aim of providing his daughters, Euniki and Ianthi, with a dowry. This is why the building comprises two residences, 1 on the ground floor, and 1 on the first floor.
The history of the building is also linked to Limassol's radio culture, at a time when this technology was still unknown to a large majority of Limassolians. Antonis Pilavakis, who resided on the first floor of the mansion before building his own grand manor (today's Library), was the owner of the first radio device in the city. As he played it, the sounds of the melodies led local residents to gather beneath the windows of the mansion, to experience something completely unprecedented for the first time.
The listed building has been used as a dining and entertainment venue after its renovation.

Peggy Orenstein's new essay collection, "Don't Call Me Princess: Essays on Girls, Women, Sex, and Life," may sound like a sassy girl power anthem, but the title is a bit misleading. Orenstein does passionately advocate for girls and can indeed be sassy, but this collection is less rallying cry, more retrospective of the intrepid feminist journalist's career. The pieces in "Don't Call Me Princess" span from 1989 to 2016 and range in subject from celebrity to miscarriage to the "Mommy Wars" to raising girls in a culture that all too often undermines their well-being.
Orenstein, most recently the author of "Girls & Sex," has long woven trenchant feminist analysis of social issues with honest, often moving, self-interrogation, and this collection is at its best when she delves into both self and world, as in her groundbreaking 2013 essay, "The Problem With Pink," which explores the more troublesome aspects of the pink ribbon industry surrounding breast cancer, a disease she herself has survived. "The Problem With Pink" could have been a more apt title for this book, come to think of it; it fits the way Orenstein regularly unpacks how gender stereotypes — and the market forces that help create and perpetuate them — hurt American girls and women.
Given the strength of her deep-dive investigative essays, it seems a less than ideal choice to open this book with a section containing profiles of "Starlets, Scientists, Artists, Activists & Other Noteworthy Women." While the women Orenstein spotlights — including graphic novelist Phoebe Gloeckner, scientist Elizabeth Blackburn, and the women behind Ms. Magazine — are indeed noteworthy and fascinating and Orenstein peppers her profiles with great insight, these haphazard pieces don't feel like the best entree into Orenstein's work, especially for readers who may be new to her oeuvre.
Also problematic: Orenstein features only one woman of color — the late Japanese writer and iconoclast Atsuko Chiba — in the seven profiles that comprise this section of the book. In her introduction to the collection, Orenstein writes: "telling our stories is more important than ever. Not the endless churn of 'content' featuring trumped-up princesses and pop stars and famous-for-being-famous social media creations, but real stories about real women, including women of color, queer women, immigrants, the poor, the very old, and the very young."
Focusing on successful white cis women shortly after this sentence feels jarring; the profiles are similar in makeup to Orenstein's breast cancer support group — "We were ... with one exception, white, and all of us were college educated," she writes, "a reflection both of who is most likely to get breast cancer and who's most comfortable seeking group support." A reflection, too, perhaps, of the target audience for this collection. Orenstein does touch upon race in a couple of essays later in the book — a 1994 essay in which she follows two 13-year-old girls, one black, one white, and the different, yet intersecting, challenges they each faced at the time, and a 2007 essay in which she discusses raising her biracial daughter — but a broader representation of race, along with more acknowledgment of the gender spectrum (trans and genderqueer people are noticeably missing from these essays), would have enriched the collection.
One of Orenstein's greatest strengths is in breaking personal and cultural silences around living in a female body. Many of the issues she writes about — cancer, miscarriage, female pleasure — are ones that were kept hush-hush for far too long, ones she is committed to keeping out of the shadows now. In her 2007 essay, "Your Gamete, Myself," Orenstein writes about women deciding whether to share the fact that they used donor eggs to conceive their children (something Orenstein had tried in her own struggles with infertility before she spontaneously conceived her daughter). "The idea that disclosure could be a viable, even preferable, option is relatively new," she writes. In encouraging such disclosure on a variety of fronts, Orenstein is shattering stigma, helping release shame.
The final, and most recent, essay in the book, "How to Be a Man in the Age of Trump," was written just before the 2016 presidential election, when Trump was still expected to lose — a time that feels almost prelapsarian now, although Orenstein's collection reminds us we have always faced great challenges. Here, Orenstein turns her focus to boys and young men's attitudes toward sex and masculinity, the subject of Orenstein's next book, a project that, like the author's work on girls and women, will surely break more silences, shed more necessary light.

Reithrodontomys hirsutus är en däggdjursart som beskrevs av Clinton Hart Merriam 1901. Reithrodontomys hirsutus ingår i släktet skördemöss, och familjen hamsterartade gnagare. IUCN kategoriserar arten globalt som sårbar. Inga underarter finns listade i Catalogue of Life.

Arten lever i en mindre region i västra Mexiko. Habitatet utgörs av öknar med några glest fördelade buskar.

Denna gnagare blir med svans 175 till 202 mm lång och den väger cirka 20 g. Arten har 20 till 22 mm långa bakfötter och 16 till 17 mm långa öron. Ovansidan är täckt av kanelbrun päls med några svarta hår inblandade. Dessutom finns en mörk längsgående linje på ryggens topp. På undersidan förekommer rosa päls som är mera gul på strupen. Den gråa svansen är bara täckt av fjäll.

Reithrodontomys hirsutus är nattaktiv och den äter frön samt insekter. Troligen går den på marken och klättrar i buskar.
