Die Catedral Ortodoxa dos Arcanjos Micael e Gabriel ("Orthodoxe Kathedrale der Erzengel Michael und Gabriel") ist eine griechisch-orthodoxe Kirche im Zentrum der mosambikanischen Hauptstadt Maputo an der Straßenkreuzung Avenida Armando Tivane/Avenida Ahmed Sekou Touré. Die Kirche entstand zwischen 1958 und 1960 mit Unterstützung der griechischen Minderheit in Lourenço Marques.

Die Kirche gehört zur Diözese Maputo des griechisch-orthodoxen Patriarchats von Alexandria.

Geschichte
Bereits am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts zog es viele Griechinnen und Griechen nach Südafrika, wo sie in Minen oder im Eisenbahnbau arbeiteten. Nach Ende des griechischen Bürgerkriegs 1949 emigrierten tausende Griechen, unter anderem auch in das damalige portugiesische Mosambik. Die griechische Gemeinschaft gehörte zu den größeren Minderheiten in der Hauptstadt Lourenço Marques. Bereits in den 1940er Jahren errichtete sie ihren eigenen Sitz im Zentrum Maputos, im sogenannten Ateneu Grego.

Um ihre Religion in einem repräsentativen Ort ausüben zu können, sammelte die Gemeinschaft Spenden für den Bau einer eigenen Kirche und beauftragte den griechischen Architekten Evan Lembros mit den Planungen. Der Grundstein für die Kirche wurde am 23. März 1958 gelegt. 1960 war der Bau fertiggestellt.

Bis 1968 gehörte die Kirche zur Diözese von Johannesburg, seit 1968 zur Diözese von Simbabwe. Nach der Unabhängigkeit Mosambiks 1975 verließ der Großteil der griechischen Minderheit das Land, die orthodoxe Gemeinde schrumpfte rasant. Erst im Laufe der 1990er und 2000er Jahre wuchs sie wieder, vor allem durch Ausländer russischer, ukrainischer, bulgarischer, rumänischer und serbischer Herkunft.

Bei der Sanierung und Restaurierung der Kirche in den 1990er Jahren gestaltete die simbabwische Künstlerin Helen Lieros zahlreiche neue Wandbilder für die Kirche. Sie entwarf und malte die Wandbilder über einen Zeitraum von vier Jahren (1996 bis 2000) ohne Honorar.

2006 erhob die Synode des griechisch-orthodoxen Patriarchats von Alexandria die Gemeinde Maputo zur Diözese. 2011 unterzeichnete die Interparlamentarische Versammlung der Orthodoxie (IAO) und das panafrikanische Parlament eine Kooperationsvereinbarung. Das Kooperationsbüro befindet sich seitdem in Maputo. Seit 2011 wird auch in den Räumen der Gemeinde Griechisch-Unterricht gegeben.

Am 16. Februar 2014 wurde die Kirche nach langen Sanierungsarbeiten von Patriarch Theodoros II. neu geweiht.

The Roman fort at Housesteads is situated on the eastern end of a mile long crag of whinstone stretching between the Knag Burn in the east and the Bradley Burn to the west. The well-preserved remains of the fort and adjoining sections of Hadrian's Wall, together with the nearby civil settlement or vicus and its surrounding halo of Romano-British temples and industrial sites, make Vercovicium perhaps the most interesting place on the entire length of the Wall.
The etymology of the Roman name for Housesteads appears to be wholly Latin in origin and may refer to the settlement on the hillside south of the Wall, but the actual name of the fort is in dispute. The name appears as Borcovicium in the fifth century Notitia Dignitatum, where it is listed between the entries for Brocolitia (Carrawburgh, Northumberland) and Vindolanda (Chesterholm, Northumberland), the former fort on the Wall and the latter on the Stanegate. The Ravenna Cosmography of the seventh century lists the name Velurtion, this time between the entries for Carrawburgh and Aesica (Great Chesters, Northumberland), but a dedicatory inscription recovered from the site suggests that the name may actually begin VER... (vide RIB 1594 infra); hence the modern acceptance of the name Vercovicium, translated as 'The Settlement on the Slope' (from Latin: vergo incline + vicus village or settlement).
an auxiliary regiment from Belgica.
The fort covers an area of about 5 acres (2 hectares) and anomalously faces east instead of north, utilizing the steep cliff of Housteads Crags to augment its northern defences, which also delineated the course of the Wall. The curious alignment suggests that the fort was built primarily to defend against barbarian incursions along the course of the Knag Burn to the east, and replaced the nearby fort at Vindolanda on the Stanegate.
Housesteads (built about A.D. 120-125) measures internally 570 by 330 feet (4¼ acres), and has a stone rampart-wall about 5 feet thick with a clay bank behind it bringing the total thickness of the rampart up to about 20 feet. Its four gates are all double, and have guard-rooms entered from the archways; and the via principalis and via quintana divide its internal area into three equal portions, all occupied by stone buildings. Six long blocks occupy the praetentura and six the retentura; in the centre are the headquarters, granaries, commandant's house, and other buildings. The garrison was a milliary cohort; the ten barrack-blocks of its ten centuries can be easily distinguished from among the other buildings. Its ditches have not been explored. Outside a bath-house and traces of an extensive civil settlement with temples, etc., have been recognised and in part excavated.
During excavations over the years at Housesteads a number of animal bones have been uncovered, including those of Ox, Sheep, Pig and Red Deer; the latter animal very likely being hunted and killed for sport, the others domesticated. (See the article: The Roman Military Diet by R.W. Davies, in Britannia II (1971) pp.122-142).
Housesteads fort was first erected c.128AD, after the broad wall foundations had been laid down but before the narrow wall was built, and was destroyed (and rebuilt) several times during its lifetime, in 197AD, 296 and 367, before being finally abandoned around the turn of the fifth century. Artillery platforms may have been added to the ramparts in the early-third century.
"For Imperator Caesar Trajanus Hadrianus Augustus,¹ son of the divine Trajan of Parthia, grandson of the divine Nerva, the [...] Cohort of [...] one-thousand strong [...] made this."
The emperor Hadrian. He was adopted in the will of Trajan and became emperor in 117AD and died of natural causes in 138. The titles Pontifex Maximus (from 117AD) and Pater Patriae (from 128) are both omitted, so the inscription is thought to date to the earlier part of his reign.
"For Imperator Caesar Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Pius Augustus.¹"
The emperor Septimius Severus wore the purple from 193-211AD, and his son Caracalla from 198-217. The lack of any further titles narrows the date to 198AD.
"[For Imperator Caesar Lucius Septimius Severus Pertinax Augustus and Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Pius Augustus, and] Publius Septimius Geta noble Caesar,¹ the First Cohort of Tungrians, one-thousand strong, restored [this temple under the administration of] the praetor Lucius Alfenus Senecio, legate of the emperors with pro-praetorian power."
The first part of this inscription has been restored. Septimius Severus shared the rule with his eldest son Caracalla from 198AD, at which time his youngest son Geta was named Caesar. Geta was further entitled Augustus in 209 so the inscription must belong between these two dates.
"For our lords Diocletianus and Maximianus¹ [...]"
Diocletian was emperor from 284AD and adopted Maximian appointing him joint emperor in 286. They were to rule, Diocletian in the East and Maximian in the West, until their mutual abdication in 305AD, whereupon Galerius and Constantius came to power.
"The century of Julius Candidus from the 1st Cohort¹ (built this)."
"The century of Gellius Philippus (made this)."
Probably the First Cohort of the Second Augustan Legion.
"To Jupiter Best and Greatest, the soldiers of the Second Augustan Legion [dedicates this]."
"To Jupiter Best and Greatest, the god Cocidius and the Guardian Spirit who inhabits this Place, the soldiers of the Second Augustan Legion, powerful in defence, willingly and deservedly fulfill a vow."
Among the altarstones which have been recovered from the Housesteads site are a handfull which attest to the presence of Roman legionary units, in particular the Second Augustan Legion which is mentioned on a couple of altarstones to the Roman god Jupiter, and the Sixth Legion Victrix which appears on an altarstone to the Germanic god Cocidius and on another altarstone to an unknown god. Although the evidence suggests that the Housesteads fort was garrisoned by Roman legionary units, this is not the case. The highly trained legionary soldiers were actually responsible for the vast majority of Roman military installations, and it is certain that the sophisticated stone-built ramparts and interior buildings at Vercovicium could not have been constructed by the auxiliary regiment who were to man these defences. What is equally certain is that the legionary soldiers who were responsible for the construction of the fort must have been housed somewhere whilst building was in progress, and it is quite possible that a couple of legionary centuries were stationed here for a considerable period of time.
"To Cocidius and the Genius of the Headquarters, Valerius, a soldier of the Sixth Victorious Legion Loyal and Faithful, fulfills his vow."
"[...] centurion of the Sixth Victorious Legion, Loyal and Faithful, freely, cheerfully and deservedly fulfilling a vow."
who lived for twenty-five years."
The Medicus Ordinarius (chief medical officer) held a rank equivalent to a centurion and was the man in charge of the capsarii (bandagers) in the valetudinarium (hospital).
"To the spirits of the departed and Hurmius Leubasnes, a soldier of the First Cohort of Tungrians, beneficiarius of the prefect. His heir Calpurnius arranged for this to be made."
The original Hadrianic garrison is not known for certain, but it is possible that the fort housed a large proportion of the First Cohort of Tungrians. After the fort was rebuilt and enlarged during the rule of emperor Septimius Severus c.200AD, the Housesteads fort was known to be occupied entirely by this one-thousand strong auxiliary infantry unit, which had been recruited from amongst the Tungri of Gallia Belgica or modern Belgium. This regiment is also mentioned in the Notitia Dignitatum of the fifth century, but over the years the complement seems to have become depleted, either through battle or natural causes such as retirement or secondment, and the garrison had to be augmented by a succession of other auxiliary units.
"The Tribune of the First Cohort of Tungrians at Borcovicium."
"To Jupiter Best and Greatest and the Divine Spirit of the Emperor, the soldiers of the First Cohort of Tungrians under the command of the prefect Quintus Virius Superstes [dedicates this]."
The First Cohort of Tungrians is mentioned on at least eleven inscriptions on stone recovered from the Housesteads fort and its environs; there are three altarstones to the god Jupiter and single altarstones to Mars, Silvanus, Hercules and the Mother Godesses, among others, also a couple of tombstones in memory of men from the unit.
"To Hercules, the soldiers of the First Cohort of Tungrians, under the command of the prefect Publius Aelius Modestus, [dedicates this]."
Although not mentioned on any inscription in stone this unit of auxiliary bowmen is eloquently attested at the fort, in the shape of a tombstone of an auxiliary soldier. This second century tombstone (< vide sinistra) suggests the presence of at least part of Cohors I Hamiorum Sagittariorum, a regiment of bowmen from Syria.
Unfortunately the tombstone is uninscribed but carries a carved image undoubtedly that of an archer, lightly armoured in a short tunic with a peculiarly pointed helmet upon his head and a military cloak about his shoulders, the man is depicted armed with a curved short bow held by his left side, a dagger on his belt and a hatchet grasped in his right hand; the soldier also appears to have a quiver of arrows suspended from a baldric at his right shoulder.
The First Cohort of Hamian Bowmen is the only such regiment known to have been stationed in Britain and they have been attested at the nearby fort at Magnis (Carvoran, Northumberland) on the Stanegate, where they were stationed in Hadrianic times. They would undoubtedly have proved an excellent defensive unit, able to shoot their arrows some considerable distance from the northern battlements of the Housesteads fort.
"To the god Mars the two Alaisagae and the divine spirit of the emperor, the German tribesmen from Tuihantis [serving in] the Frisian Formation,¹ true servants of the Alexandrian,² willingly and deservedly fulfill their vow."
The cuneus was a late-period auxiliary cavalry unit of varying strength, named after the cuneiform or 'wedge-shaped' formation in which they were often deployed.
I.e. Loyal to an emperor who came from Alexandria, of which there are very few; Vespasian wintered at Alexandria 69/70AD before he entered Rome as emperor; the would-be usurper Gaius Avidius Cassius, governor of Syria, who revolted in early 175AD was born there; Septimius Severus stayed at Alexandria and in the East from 197 until his return to Rome in 202; the fratricidal emperor Caracalla (211-217AD) modelled himself on Alexander the Great, and is known to have slaughtered many citizens of Alexandria during his stay there in 215, and his murdered brother Geta had previously made plans to rule the eastern empire from that city; the pretenders Lucius Domitius Domitianus and his successor Aurelius Achilleus tried to set up an alternative administration at Alexandria, but this was overthrown by the emperor Diocletian in 298. The translation of this phrase is tentative, however, and may also be given: "... of Vercovicium, [loyal to] Severus Alexander ..."; the emperor Alexander Severus ruled from 222 to 235AD.
At the end of the third century came the addition of the Cuneus Frisiorum, a small, irregular cavalry force of Frisian tribesmen from Tuihantis (modern Twenthe in Holland). This regiment is attested on a single inscribed stone from outside the Housesteads fort, an altar to Mars and the Aliasagae goddesses. There are two other examples of Cunei Frisiorum; at Derventio (Papcastle, Cumbria; RIB 882; 241AD) and Vinovia (Binchester, Durham; RIB 1036; undated).
"To the Alaisagae goddesses Boudihillia and Friagabis, and to the divine spirit of the Emperor, the numerus¹ of Hnaudifridius willingly and deservedly fulfills its vow."
A small, irregular military unit usually of cavalry or at least part-mounted. The word numerus may be translated in this case as 'Company' (i.e. of soldiers).
By the fourth century the Numerus Hnaudifridi, a Germanic mercenary unit is recorded on a single altarstone to the Alaisagae goddesses. It has been mooted that this unit may be synonymous with the Cuneus Frisiorum on the premise that the original irregular 'Wedge' of Frisians may have become depleted to such low numbers, that by the fourth century the unit merited the status of a mere Numerus, and that the commander of the force, one Hnaudifridus, bears a name which is certainly Germanic in origin, and may indeed have been that of a Frisian tribesman.
The civil settlement at Housesteads occupied the area to the immediate south and east of the Wall fort, along each side of the two minor roads which linked the fort with the Stanegate to the south-east and to the south-west. The civil buildings were arranged in terraces due to the steep nature of the surroundings, and identified remains include a number of domestic dwellings, shops and taverns, some with shuttered frontages. The buildings in the vicus were mainly rectangular in plan, arranged with their long axes at 90° to the main street. The remains of a couple (or five) of these civilian houses lie just outside the southern gateway of the fort, their gable-ends fronting the original Roman roadway indicating that it led straight down the hill and not by the less strenuous, meandering course of the modern road which serves the farmhouse.
The civil settlement was at its most prosperous in the late-third to early-fourth centuries, but was abandoned by the late fourth century following barbarian raids from the north. A considerable proportion of the civilian population were then re-housed within the defences of the fort itself, and a number of internal buildings appear to have been re-furbished and altered to accommodate them, including even the principia or headquarters building, the former administrative centre of the fort. There was plenty of room to spare in the fort at this time due to the depletion of the garrison over the years, from a nominal force of one-thousand down to only about three-hundred men.
A small, simple apsidal shrine measuring 13¾ ft. by 16½ ft. with a semicircular wall on the north-west side, lies just south of the vicus settlement, north of Chapel Hill. Inside, four heavy stone slabs set upright in a rough square encloses a strongly-flowing freshwater spring at the bottom of a 4½ ft. well. Two uniscribed altars were found within the building which proves its sanctity, and it is very likely that this very small temple, which may comfortably accommodate no more than six worshippers, was connected with the worship of some unknown water deity, or group of deities, perhaps the water nymphs. Finds of coins and pottery sherds have provided evidence of a construction date for the building around the mid-2nd century and its demise during the early-4th. Other nymphaea are known at Carrawburgh and Chedworth.
"To the god Mars Thincsus and the two Alaisagae, Beda and Fimmilena, and the divine spirit of the emperor, the German tribesmen from Tuihantis willingly and deservedly fulfill their vow."
This roughly circular temple was found on top of Chapel Hill a little to the south of the fort, its walls of undressed stone facing with an earth and rubble infill enclosed an area measuring about 17¼ ft. across; the insubstantial foundations indicate that the superstructure was at least half-timbered. The temple was built in the early-3rd century upon the ruins of a rectangular workshop in the vicus which had been destroyed during the barbarian incursions of 196AD. It contained altars dedicated by the commanders and men of all three units known to be stationed at Housesteads to the god Mars Thincsus, the Romanized aspect of a Teutonic god, a common occurrence among the Roman auxiliary units. Various altars have been found at this site dedicated to Mars and/or to the Germanic goddesses Alaisiagae; named on one altar as Beda and Fimmilena, on another as Baudihillia and Friagabis (vide RIB 1576 supra).
"To the god Mars, Quintus Florius Maternus, prefect of the First Cohort of Tungrians, willingly and deservedly fulfills a vow."
"To the god Mars, to Victory and the divine spirit of the emperor, under the administration of Licinius ..."
"To the god Mithras the Invincible Sun, [Lord] of the generation, the beneficiarius consularis¹ Litorius Pacatianus willingly and deservedly fulfilled a vow for himself and his family."
A soldier seconded onto the personal staff or bodyguard of the consular governor, either for distinguished service or as a honorary position.
"To the god, the Sun Invincible, Mithras, [Lord] of Ages, the centurion Publius Proculinus willingly and deservedly fulfills his vow for himself and his son Proculus, when our lords Gallus and Volusinus were consuls.¹"
Imperator Caesar Gaius Vibius Trebonianus Gallus Augustus was consul for the second time, with his colleague Imperator Caesar Gaius Vibius Afinius Gallus Veldumnianus Volusianus Augustus consul for the first time, 252AD (a.u.c. 1005).
The primary inscription reads simply DEO or "to the god".
Situated to the south of the fort was a small temple dedicated to Mithras, the Persian Sun-God. It measured 54 feet in length by 16 feet broad, and had a paved central isle 6½ feet wide running between platforms raised at least 2 feet high on either side. A sanctuary at the far end of the temple was flanked on each side by a small altar stone, and contained a sculpted relief of the Birth of Mithras. A spring provided the building with running water, which was presumably required for ritual purposes. There is another superb example of a Mithraeum at the nearby fort of Carrawburgh.
"To the god Sol, Herion freely and deservedly offers [this]."
willingly and deservedly fulfills his vow."
"To the mother goddesses, the First Cohort of Tungrians [dedicates this]."
The temple to the Matres lies south of the vallum to the east of the fort, between the Knag Burn and the eastern Stanegate branch-road.
"To the Spirits of the Goddesses, for the second oracular interpretation of Clarus Apollinis of the First Cohort of Tungrians."
"To Jupiter Best and Greatest, for the well-being of the prefect Desidienus Aemilianus and his family, who willingly placed this in fulfillment of a vow, when Tuscus and Bassus were consuls.¹"
Marcus Nummius Tuscus and Mummius Bassus were ordinary consuls for 258AD (a.u.c.1011).
"To the god Mercury Calve[...] of the Germans."
Along the precipitous Housesteads Crags to the west of Vercovicium the usual broad foundation of the Wall was discarded, and it seems that this section was planned from the outset to be built in a narrower gauge.
Bath House - A military bath-house has been found to the east of the fort on the opposite bank of the Knag Burn.
Industrial Furnace - Evidence of large-scale iron-working was discovered in a building just outside the east gate of the fort to the south of the Military Way.
Lime Kiln - Identified in the area between the eastern fort ramparts and the Knag Burn.
Cultivation Terraces - Evidence of extensive cultivation of the surrounding hillsides is evident in the form of these furrows, which run along the gentle slopes to the south of Houseteads Crags.
Cemeteries - Two possible Roman cemeteries have been identified; the first to the south-west of the Mithraeum, and the second between the Stanegate road and the Knag Burn, south-east of the Temple of the Matres.
Excavations on the site of the valetudinarium or military field hospital in the centre of the fort (NY790688) in 1970 revealed evidence that the building continued to be used after it had ceased to function as a field-hospital.
The visible remains of the fort at Housesteads date primarily to the third and fourth centuries, and include the principia or regimental headquarters building, the praetorium or commanding officer's residence, a valetudinarium or field hospital, and examples of barracks, bath-houses, latrines, workshops and granaries. Visitors to the site may be under the impression that the north gate of the fort was not used, as it opens out upon a precipitous rocky cliff, this was not the case, for the Roman engineers included in their plans a causeway or ramp leading up to this northern gate which was removed during the course of modern excavations at the Housesteads fort.
Of the vicus which occupied much of the area surrounding the fort, several buildings can be seen, mainly along the road leading from the fort's southern gateway south and then east towards the Newborough fort on the Stanegate.

Adrian Smith (Adrian H Frederik Smith), musicien britannique né le  à Londres, est un des guitaristes du groupe de heavy metal Iron Maiden.

Débuts

Au début des années 1970, il fait ses premiers pas dans le groupe Stone Free (en hommage à Jimi Hendrix) puis dans Evil Ways avec notamment son ami Dave Murray, à qui il avait acheté sa première guitare. Après la séparation d'Evil Ways en 1974, il joue (chant et voix) pendant six ans avec le groupe Urchin, jusqu'au printemps 1980, puis rejoint pour quelques mois l'éphémère Broadways Brats.

Iron Maiden et carrière solo

Il rejoint Iron Maiden en octobre 1980, sollicité par Dave Murray pour remplacer Dennis Stratton. Il participe à l'enregistrement de la vidéo Live at the Rainbow () puis des albums depuis Killers jusqu'à Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Durant cette période, il devient un compositeur important du groupe, en particulier sur les albums Somewhere in Time et Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, où il signe plusieurs titres majeurs : Wasted Years, Stranger in a Strange Land, ou encore Moonchild. Il a également assuré le chant sur un titre, Reach Out, édité sur la face B du single Wasted Years.

En 1990, il est exclu du groupe par Steve Harris, en raison de désaccords sur la direction musicale du groupe. Il est remplacé à la guitare par Janick Gers.

L'année précédente, profitant d'une pause d'Iron Maiden, Adrian avait enregistré un album solo avec Adrian Smith and Project (ASaP) appelé Silver and Gold. Ce groupe formé avec des anciens d'Urchin ne durera pas. Il fonde le groupe Untouchables qui se nommera ensuite Psycho Motel le temps de deux albums. Enfin, il retrouve le chanteur Bruce Dickinson qui a lui-même quitté Iron Maiden en 1994.

En 1999, Smith et Dickinson réintègrent Iron Maiden pour le « Ed Hunter tour », une tournée de promotion du jeu vidéo éponyme, basé sur « Eddie » la mascotte d'Iron Maiden. Malgré le retour de Smith, Gers reste dans le groupe qui évolue ainsi à trois guitaristes.

Le guitariste
Adrian Smith utilise de nombreuses guitares durant sa carrière, parmi lesquelles :

 Fender Stratocaster
 Gibson SG
 Gibson Les Paul
 Jackson Adrian Smith Signature

Son jeu de guitare est caractérisé par un grand soin dans l'écriture des solos, au contraire de Janick Gers et Dave Murray qui, la plupart du temps, improvisent.

"With estrogen dominance being so common, consider a product like Natural Factors EstroSense. It supports the liver in detoxifying toxic forms of estrogen, supports breast and bone health, and reduces PMS and heavy periods. It's great for weight loss, too," says Hyla Cass, MD, author of 9 Weeks to Vibrant Health.
AGE: Breast cancer is uncommon in women younger than age 35. Most breast cancers occur in women older than the age of 50, and the risk is especially high for women older than 60.
RACE: Breast cancer occurs more often in white women than in African American, Hispanic, or Asian women.
FAMILY HISTORY: A woman's risk for developing breast cancer increases if her mother, sister, or daughter had breast cancer, especially at a young age.
GENETICS: The presence of certain genes increases the risk of breast cancer, although this is mainly true if most or all of the women in your family had breast or ovarian cancer.
ESTROGEN: Estrogen stimulates breast cells. The longer a woman is exposed to estrogen in any form, the more likely she is to develop breast cancer. For example, risk is higher among women who began menstruation before age 12, experienced menopause after age 55, never had children, or took hormone replacement therapy for long periods of time.
LATER CHILDBEARING: Women who have their first child after about age 30 have a greater chance of developing breast cancer. The most protection comes from childbirth followed by breast-feeding enough to suppress return of ovulation.
DENSITY: Breast cancers nearly always develop in dense tissue, not in fatty tissue. That's why cancer is more likely to occur in women with "dense" breasts than in those with "fatty" ones.
ENVIRONMENTAL: Among factors that have been linked to breast cancer are exposure to xenoestrogens (synthetic compounds that mimic estrogen), second-hand smoke, pesticides, electric blankets, radiation, and lack of sunlight.
EXERCISE: Taking into account other established risk factors, women who regularly exercise have up to a 60 percent reduction in breast cancer risk compared to less-active women.
ALCOHOL: Women who drink one drink a day have a 10 percent greater risk; those who drink two drinks have a 20 percent increased risk, and so on.
DIETARY: Important dietary factors include weight (the more overweight you are, the greater the risk); increased intake of saturated fat; and decreased intakes of antioxidants, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and dietary phytoestrogens (found in legumes, nuts, seeds, and other foods).
What else can you do? One of the beneficial foods to fight breast cancer is flaxseed. It contains special fiber compounds known as lignans that can bind to estrogen receptors and interfere with the cancer-promoting effects of estrogen on breast tissue. Fish oil supplements with 1,000 milligrams of EPA and DHA daily could be argued as the most important supplement for breast cancer prevention; however, a recent study on vitamin D produced incredible results-1,100 IU of vitamin D a day reduced the incidence of breast cancer by an incredible 60 percent.

Bilateral/ Multilateral Relation / Afghanistan / Russia / Terrorism / United States
Seems President Biden is in undue hurry over Afghanistan
by Bimal Prasad Mohapatra · 27th April 2021
Image source: ABC News
Seems President Biden is in an undue hurry on the issue of US force withdrawal from Afghanistan before getting a reliable mechanism in place to support the country's elected government from Taliban assault and eventual occupation of governance, and therefore, this author prays for Uncle Sam best of luck. I am not wishing the best of luck to hapless Afghan because they for a generation have no good luck and would not have the same in the near future as the countries which matter on the issue have refused to show their accountabilities and responsibilities. This means they (Afghan) are destined to suffer for others' power fight during Cold War and then after.
When I say 'President Biden is in an undue hurry,' it looks very odd or many may say 'I am prejudiced' in view of the US Forces longest ever presence in any foreign soil ie in Afghanistan for long two decades. And, during the period, the US have spent massive more than $822 billion and lost 2382 soldiers and 20,320 injuries in this mission.
Yes, it is a fact that US Forces have been there in Afghanistan for two long decades, and that too, at a great cost. But, for what? Has the basic purpose of force deployment been fulfilled? This is a billion-dollar question. However, the newly elected unipolar world's most powerful mansion The White House's occupant and one of the best US politically experienced brain on country's foreign policy Mr Joe Biden says that the basic objective of US force deployment in Afghanistan has been achieved with the elimination of world's most wanted Islamic terror fountainhead Osama bin Laden and his terror machinery that is al Qaeda has been degraded. 'The US forces for Afghanistan is not for generation and for forever war'. Agree. Nobody disputes this observation. The US forces were deployed in landlocked nation post-al Quada coordinated four air attacks on World Trade Centre's giant Twin Towers in New York, US Defence HQ Pentagon in Washington DC and failed attempt to hit The White House.
An explosion rips through the South Tower of the World Trade Towers after the hijacked United Airlines Flight 175, which departed from Boston en route for Los Angeles, crashed into it Sept, 11, 2001. The North Tower is shown burning after American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the tower at 8:45 a.m. – Image source: News India Times
But, has the normalcy return to hapless Afghanistan? Certainly, the answer is a big 'NO'. And if the normalcy has not returned to Afghanistan and the forces are withdrawn; then certainly, and I am double sure, the same will have a related negative impact on the US security sooner or later in a form so far unknown as had been on 9/11 in 2001 in an innovative style in which passenger planes were used as terror weapons that ever this living world had experienced.
Biden Administration's assumption that Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda were the US prime enemy is fallacious. If this was the thing then what for the US forces were in Afghanistan till date after OBL captured, killed and buried in the sea in 2011? OBL and al Qaeda had just executed what Islamic jihadist agenda were. Islamic Jihadist organization Taliban and its ally ISI had provided the necessary infrastructure and support for the world's biggest terror act which killed the highest number of Americans so far in one go in peacetime. And now they are relatively intact and are virtual rulers of Afghanistan beyond some urban pockets. They are just looking for opportunities and space to regroup like they were in manner and style had been post-Red Army withdrawal from Afghanistan. Apart from this, now Pakistan, which earlier provided infrastructure and training to the Taliban, is more or less an unruly and bankrupt country. Its elected government is a puppet in the hands of the country's army, and the latter has no accountability and responsibility in regard to civil governance though that is the most powerful institution in the country. And its generals are mostly corrupt and have vested interests, and in comparison, they are no different from typical Afghanistan warlords.
Taliban and its associated warlords spread over the Afghan county side want Islamic rule as they don't believe in democracy, whereas a large number of Afghan are unwilling to follow them and have shown trust in liberal democracy and rule of laws which is pretty visible from their participation in elections. In the meanwhile, despite sporadic terror attacks from the Taliban and its allied groups and warlords, some democratic institutions along with law and order machinery and armed forces have been built which have been supporting the administration in governance. They are only silver-lining and ray of hope at the end of four decades-long anarchy and bloodshed. If they are deprived of modern armed force support, which has huge psychological support, note they cannot survive the assault of a highly motivated Islamic terror army –now lying low hoping for early departure of US forces- in very rocky terrain.
The most powerful man of the world before making the above discussed 'excusable' observations to ensure US forces withdrawal should have asked himself a few pertinent questions such as 'Who has made Taliban and its ideological mentor ISI a formidable force? Who allowed them to harbour OBL and al Qaeda and why? Who allowed Taliban to capture power in Afghanistan and rule it for decade unhindered post-Red Army withdrawal and before 9/11?' When answers to all these questions are searched, the US is found as the needle of suspense. But, President Biden says 'US forces are not for generation of war'.

During Cold War, the US rival Soviet Union invaded and occupied Afghanistan in 1979. And at best it would have been another Soviet Federal states a la Afghanistan's northern neighbours Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, etc. A decade later, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, all these federal states under the Soviet Union were declared themselves free sovereign countries without the kind of terror and civil war legacies that Afghanistan has. But, the US intervention by way of costly dollar funding, modern lethal arms supplies and guerrilla training to Afghan dissidents in ISI and CIA provided infrastructures in Pakistan, which is on the Eastern and Southern border of the victim, since 1979, was the most deadly to Afghan fate than the Soviet Union intervention.
Has ever trained armed guerrilla, and that too, drunk with theology slept quietly without capturing power? As soon as the Red Army left Afghanistan, the Taliban backed by Pakistan Army and ISI occupied power in Kabul in lightening speed and implemented Quranic rules. But, the most lethal was theirs' provisioning of infrastructures and safe abode to anti-West Sunni-Wahabi Islamic terror outfits, who were refused bases in the US-friendly (Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc.) and somehow some secular Arab countries (Iraq, Egypt, etc.) during 1980-the 1990s. Osama's al Qaeda was one of them. When all these were happening and it was also well-known that Pakistan had a major role in this transition, the US and West had closed their eyes enjoying the victory of democracy over communism.

Post-US forces withdrawal will lead Afghanistan to the 1990s situation. In the 1990s, Pakistan was somehow different. Now, Islamic elements have encroached on Pakistan governance. Even the so-called elected but military-backed minority government of Imran Khan has conceded their (Islamic fundamentalists) demand for expulsion of French Ambassador from Pakistan on flimsy ground. What next is difficult to predict now? Given the present situation in Pakistan, the Taliban and Pakistan Army will have a large territory to regroup and wage war against whosoever oppose Islamic rule in their future Islamic Caliphate. And they are sure West and US -so scared as seen from their desperation to leave- won't return to South Asia, and even if they wish in the worst case, they won't get a base as they got in Pakistan in 2001. Other countries in the region, Shia Iran in the west and democratic multi-religious India in the east cannot allow their soils to be used as a base to fight Islamic terror in Afghanistan and Pakistan. And in the north, the Central Asian countries already in grip of Chinese debt diplomacy and part of Commonwealth of Independent Countries under the vigil of Putin's Russia are no go zone for the US and West. The other major power and having some influence and geographical proximity in the region that is China has her own compulsion in East Asia due to aggressive posturing of newly formed US-led Quad that opposes former's expansion in resource-rich East and the South China Sea, may not show interest in the region in the immediate term.
In view of the above, the US's other excuses that the middle-east has relative stability post-Abrahamic Accord and Biden Administration wish to concentrate in East Asia to tame authoritarian communist China's belligerence to withdraw forces from Afghanistan may backfire. As per some reports, US commanders having expertise over the Afghan conflict are not in the same page with Biden. It is not at all wise strategy to fight another enemy, one should leave the fight halfway with the existing enemy though for the US both the fronts are equally important. But the nature and strategy of fights on these two fronts are different. If Biden thinks, the US forces withdrawal will forces the region's biggest military power India, which has so far avoided armed intervention, will intervene to protect her huge investment in Afghanistan in one side and to protect Kashmir from terror infiltration, on the other hand, it may flare up the situation in nuclearised South Asia in which China will be the biggest strategic beneficiary in long-term in view of her all-weather friendship with Pakistan, and through Pakistan with Taliban, to expand her influence to relatively unexplored hydrocarbon-rich Iran where she proposed massive investment amounting $400 billion in exploration, processing and transport of oil and gas to support in her economy marching to overtake the US, the present No.1 economy in the world.

Coronavirus Stranded New Yorkers in Paradise. What Now?
By Lombardia Salute On Mag 17, 2020
The day before Megan LeCrone, a soloist dancer with the New York City Ballet, turned 36, she got an urgent call from her longtime friend and fellow soloist Harrison Ball. "If we don't leave now, we're not going to be able to get out," he told her.
The date was March 20, when only 17,000 Americans had tested positive for the coronavirus, schools around the country had just closed and nonessential workers were beginning to tire of the "are you wearing pants?" jokes on Zoom.
Ms. LeCrone and Mr. Ball sped through Kennedy International Airport, which was deserted, and, despite takeoffs being canceled all around them, boarded the final flight to their destination. "It felt like we were crossing into West Berlin," Mr. Ball said.
They were, in fact, flying to the Bahamas. And there they have remained.
If you're going on week nine of an air-shaft view, with 17 varieties of pasta shapes for company, you may be breathing into a paper bag right now. And while many who can afford it stayed proudly in their home cities, some decided to move, "Green Acres"-like, to less-infected pastures.
Not just the Matt Damons or Jerry Seinfelds of the world. (Mr. Damon is staying in the seaside resort town of Dalkey, Ireland, after production for a forthcoming Ridley Scott film was shut down nearby; Mr. Seinfeld, who lives with his family in a terraced duplex in the Beresford on Central Park West, is sequestered in East Hampton.) The New York City Department of Sanitation has recorded a more than a 3 percent drop in garbage in the more affluent ZIP codes of the Upper East and West Sides.
But there are also those who thought they could sneak in a quick getaway and be back in plenty of time for Dr. Fauci's next warning of impending doom.
Which brings us back to Ms. LeCrone and Mr. Ball, and everyone else interviewed for this story. To put it bluntly, they get it. They know that their privilege — financial, physical, professional, personal — allowed them to leave their homes, where infections were rapidly multiplying. They know you will have about as much sympathy for them as you did for David Geffen on his $590 million superyacht in the Grenadines, or those newlyweds who kept an entire hotel staff at work in the Maldives.
They also know they cannot get home.
A Faux-Rosy Reality
After a spring break family ski trip to Lake Tahoe in California was canceled, Morgan Bernstein, the director of strategic initiatives at U.C. Berkeley's Haas School of Business, thought of an empty house her mother keeps in Honolulu. "We floated the idea of going to Hawaii by a couple of friends and they said, 'It sounds amazing, but you know you might get stuck there,'" Ms. Bernstein said. "At the time it was, 'Ha-ha, yeah, right.'"
Two months later, her husband is unemployed, the family car is in need of repairs after a Bay Area break-in, and their kids are happily playing catch with floating coconuts.
"I really struggled at first feeling trapped between work and vacation, feeling displaced and isolated, even though it's definitely not a 'poor me' situation," Ms. Bernstein said. "I would half-jokingly bring things up on Zoom happy hours with my friends about not having my pajamas and face lotions and all the little things that make me feel like I'm at home. They were like, 'Seriously, Morgan? You're complaining about cleansers when you're in Hawaii?'"
Ms. Bernstein also worries about the faux-rosy reality she has created for her 5- and 7-year-olds. "They get that there is a virus that is making people sick, but I've never seen them happier," she said. "They think they're on an extended vacation. It makes me wonder if I'm robbing my kids of the experience of understanding what the world is going through. Are they not going to relate to their peers because they will have experienced this time in such a different way?"
A few time zones over, Alice Boher and her husband, Sebastian Boher, artisanal marijuana pipemakers, boarded a flight at LAX in early March for a two-week trip to Nicaragua, thinking if they did get stranded, at least it would be within their budget.
They spent their first 12 days surfing on remote beaches with no internet access. The second Ms. Boher walked into her hotel room in Granada, she turned on the air-conditioner and flipped on CNN.
"The first thing we thought when we saw what had happened to the world was, 'Dear God,'" she said. Just then, a truck drove down the street with someone claiming to be from the government yelling through a megaphone in Spanish, "Hey, everybody! You know how the United States and China think they're better than us? They're screwed now!"
After several failed attempts to find a place to stay (locals were understandably wary of renting to possibly infected tourists), Ms. Boher met a woman who charged $500 for a casita on a property shared by a virus-fleeing Australian couple, sack of coconuts and plantains included.
"I'm still in the same mental reality as everyone else, regardless of where I physically am," she said. "I look at the news and I'm devastated for hours. But I also have gratitude for real change. I've lived in cities my whole life and now I watch the first star come out every night."
She has a friend in Los Angeles fulfilling pipe orders and no ticket home, since the airline she flew down doesn't operate the route anymore. "We all have a story of this time," Ms. Boher said. "And this is just my little story. This is my chain of weird events. It's not better. It's not worse. It just is."
Across the planet, Josh Anchors, the director of global admissions at Léman Manhattan Preparatory School in New York, and his girlfriend of three months, Navia Nguyen, landed in Indonesia with hours to spare before visitors were banned. Without the same social restrictions that were in place in New York, Mr. Anchors got to Bali in time for five surf sessions and a trip to the wellness center that his girlfriend owns, where he luxuriated in a microdermabrasion facial, manicure, pedicure and vitamin-C drip.
But once the government closed nonessential businesses on April 1, he was quarantined at his girlfriend's house, testing out the nascent relationship under conditions so extreme it's a wonder producers of "The Bachelor" didn't devise them. "You really get to know someone in depth in these circumstances," Mr. Anchors said. "This is isolation-ship. Quaran-ship? Every once in a while we are like, 'What are we doing?'" (Plus an expletive.)
At first, he hid from colleagues the fact that he was halfway across the globe, and set his alarm to 2 or 3 a.m. to join meetings that would have been midafternoon back in New York. He has since come clean.
"There's no reason to go home now, other than hugging my parents, which I can't even do," Mr. Anchors said. Working remotely has only increased his job efficiency, and he's hopeful that with comparatively few cases on the island, his dry surfboard will be back in action soon. "I don't feel stranded," he said. "I feel liberated."
Muting the Ocean
After years working as an event planner in New York, Laura Ling had saved up enough money to travel for months and caught the last flight into Medellín, Colombia, before the borders closed.
"It was very weird to be two or three weeks ahead in terms of the virus. I knew their corona-future," she said.
After hearing that immigration officers were picking up tourists on the streets and throwing them out of the country, she began self-quarantining, venturing out occasionally to her balcony or rooftop terrace.
"My industry is dead," Ms. Ling said. "I talk to colleagues, and we know we won't be making any money off events in 2020. I've just started to think about what other career options I have."
Every night she watches President Iván Duque's nightly address to the nation, where he talks about saving abuelos and abuelas. "I have no regrets about coming here and I don't think about anything beyond the next three days," she said. "At least I am still learning Spanish."
Back in the Bahamas, Mr. Ball and Ms. LeCrone also don't know when they'll return to the barre, with their ballet company's entire spring season canceled. They stick to a strict daily regimen of swimming, ballet, yoga and a scary-sounding class called "Shaun T's Insanity." They pay an islander $10 to deliver giant bags of mangoes and eat whatever they can catch spearfishing.
They also check in on New York friends whose practice jetés have become the bane of downstairs neighbors' lives. "Artists are dramatic by nature so there is a lot of, 'Are we ever going to dance again?'" Mr. Ball said.
"We decided maybe we shouldn't have the ocean in the background," Ms. LeCrone said. "We're trying to be sensitive."
Minus the exercise, I can relate from a few islands away. I, too, booked an impromptu trip, in my case to St. John, a few days after a long-planned family vacation to Israel had to be shelved.
In retrospect, the plan — hatched on a crowded R train home from work — was far from responsible, though then schools were still in session and my office was open.
After our third attempt at a flight home got canceled, my husband took his new mask of frolicking-turtle-print fabric, made by a local who calls himself Iron Man, and hopped a choppy 30-minute ferry to another island to procure a printer and cheap laptop so our daughters could attend online school. I tried to convince vacation property owners that they could indeed rent to us because we had arrived before the government-mandated tourist ban. (Luckily, I didn't have to ask the woman with whom I six-foot-distance-chatted on a hike, who sprinted away when I told her where I'd arrived from five weeks earlier.)
I sometimes feel guilt for not being "New York strong," as Gov. Andrew Cuomo would say (yes, I watch him here too), along with sadness for my city, relief that I didn't bring illness to this hospital-free island and worry about paying my bills after renting a vacation home for three months instead of two weeks.
But my time on this island (the two known Covid-19 cases are on the mend) is also a tonic, and I don't take for granted the simpler life of afternoon beach swims and visits to the island's beloved, songwriting organic gardener, Josephine, for her immunity-boosting "bush tea."
A couple of days before I left New York, the comedian Sarah Silverman flew in there and settled into a rented apartment that her friend Adam Schlesinger had found. They had plans to workshop "The Bedwetter," the musical they'd co-written with Joshua Harmon, based on Ms. Silverman's memoir.
The afternoon Broadway went dark, Ms. Silverman, Mr. Schlesinger and the show's director, Anne Kauffman, sat around the rental eating pizza, drinking wine and getting updates on when Linda Lavin, a cast member, would land in the city. "We figured, well, this is what it is, and eventually when it passes, we'll all be together rehearsing," Ms. Silverman later told me. "That was the last time I socialized in person. And it was the last time I will ever see Adam."
Eighteen days later, Mr. Schlesinger, the frontman of Fountains of Wayne, died of Covid-19 at 52. Ms. Silverman is staying put until at least mid-June, her apartment eerily quiet ("I never realized how many New Yorkers seem to have a place 'upstate.'") but with a washer and dryer (which, to New Yorkers, may be a bigger brag than a Zoom ocean background).
Ms. Silverman also takes in the view every evening, from her vacation balcony, a.k.a. fire escape. "I live for 7 to 7:03 p.m. when the whole city seems to be howling and banging pots and pans in a collective primal scream."
She is also not rushing to hop on a plane home. "Against all reason," she said. "I feel safer here."

Bachelorette Party Favorite Acme Is Back in Business
Bring on the second-floor sushi

Share All sharing options for: Bachelorette Party Favorite Acme Is Back in Business
Acme Feed & Seed [Official Photo]
A Facebook post today from Acme Feed & Seed states that the popular multi-level Broadway bar and restaurant is back in business following the weekend's roof incident — at least that's true of the bottom two levels. A statement from Tom Morales, owner of TomKats Hospitality, reiterated that none were injured in the partial collapse on Saturday, and that the building was evacuated promptly. He said the roof should hopefully reopen within a couple of weeks, pending assessments and repairs.
See the owner of TomKats Hospitality Tom Morales' full statement about the incident below:
""On Saturday afternoon, Acme Feed & Seed experienced a partial collapse of its rooftop deck, when a section of the deck separated from its support. No one was hurt in the incident and the building was evacuated immediately. A structural engineer has inspected the roof and has concluded there is no damage to the roof itself. Additionally, both the contractor involved in the design and construction (Crain and Tuck Hinton) have inspected the damage and are assessing what caused the failure.
Initial tweets by the fire inspector mis-characterized the situation as a roof collapse, which it was not. Both the Nashville Fire Department as well as the Department of Codes and Building Safety determined that no other floors were affected by the incident and have cleared Acme to reopen floors 1-3 tomorrow, Tuesday, October 16. We will start repairs on the deck as soon as possible, and anticipate being able to reopen the roof within a week or two, depending on the extent of the damage."
Bring on the sushi and redneck lo mein.

Chapter 19 - The genetics of schizophrenia
By Hugh M. D. Gurling, Andrew McQuillin
Edited by John I. Nurnberger, Jr, Wade Berrettini, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
Book: Principles of Psychiatric Genetics
Published online: 05 October 2012

This chapter reviews the evidence for genetic and environmental influences, both specified and unspecified in antisocial behavior. It discusses heritability of both adult and child mental disorders in DSM-IV-TR, for which antisocial behavior is central to their diagnosis. The chapter also reviews heritability of the related externalizing disorders. It highlights some of the most exciting new directions in this field, which aim to unpack the genetic and environmental black boxes in antisocial behavior, and provides the complexities of the gene-environment interplay in antisocial development. Evidence of genetic influences on antisocial behavior does not implicate that individuals exhibiting antisocial behavior are immune or resistant to interventions. Future research with combined approaches from behavior genetics and neuroscience will lead to better understanding of specific genes that result in structural and functional brain impairments that in turn give rise to antisocial, violent, and psychopathic behavior.

A susceptibility locus for schizophrenia in the pseudoautosomal region has been proposed on the basis of a possible excess of sex chromosome aneuploidies among patients with schizophrenia and an increased sex concordance in affected sib pairs. Several studies investigating this hypothesis have produced conflicting evidence.
In a series of Icelandic and British families, we used lod score and sib pair linkage analyses with markers for the MIC2 and DXYS14 loci on the pseudoautosomal XY region.
Lod and sib pair linkage analysis with these markers produced strongly negative scores. Heterogeneity testing also produced negative results.
We conclude that the present study provides no support for the involvement of either the pseudoautosomal region or the nearby region of the sex chromosomes in the aetiology of schizophrenia.
Autosomal Dominant Gene Transmission in a Large Kindred with Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome
David Curtis, Mary M. Robertson, Hugh M. D. Gurling
Journal: The British Journal of Psychiatry / Volume 160 / Issue 6 / June 1992
Print publication: June 1992
A multiplex kindred ascertained through a single proband with GTS has been systematically investigated with standardised diagnostic instruments for other cases of GTS and related disorders. Complex segregation analysis supported the hypothesis that a single major gene inherited in autosomal dominant fashion but with incomplete penetrance contributed most of the variance in the liability to develop GTS and related disorders. This result is consistent with previous segregation analyses which have employed different methods of ascertainment, and tends to confirm that a proportion of GTS is due to a dominant gene and is suitable for investigation with genetic markers for linkage analysis.


Humans, unfortunately, seem to have a propensity for addictive behavior. Whether it be binge-eating, alcohol abuse or even more abstract behavioral patterns such as gambling, people seem to have great trouble avoiding these seductive actions and the negative health consequences thereof. Even though many sufferers are motivated to reduce their addictive behaviors, the strong impulses associated with these behaviors make this very difficult.
This is one of the main reasons that psychologists have been working on interventions that stand a better chance of addressing these impulses directly. One of the first forays in this direction was what is termed approach-avoidance training. The idea of approach-avoidance training is predicated on the existence of two basic motivational systems, one concerned with approach, such as appetitive behavior and interpersonal attraction, and the other concerned with avoidance, such as fear or disgust responses. After researchers noted that patients with addiction problems, such as alcohol abuse patients, had a bias towards approaching addiction-related stimuli even when they clearly had the explicit motivation not to do so, they attempted to address this bias directly. In a seminal study, alcohol abuse patients were trained to symbolically avoid alcohol over several sessions, using joysticks to push away alcohol-related pictures and pull soft drink pictures towards themselves. The researchers found that training patients' avoidance bias towards alcohol helped them to avoid relapse even a year after the intervention.
Clearly, this work suggests that approach-avoidance training may be an extremely powerful tool in helping individuals combating even tenacious undesired behavior. For this reason, more recent studies have attempted to extend the effect of approach-avoidance training to other domains, from social stereotype reduction to obesity prevention. Unfortunately, these efforts have not always succeeded in producing an effect. At the same time, more foundationally oriented research has attempted to illuminate the precise processes underpinning approach-avoidance training effects in order to predict when it will be most effective.
Our recent contribution to the science on this subject tried to connect these two approaches. We conducted experiments on approach-avoidance training, using separate unfamiliar soft drinks as the targets of both approach and avoidance behaviors. Such a design would have allowed us to tease apart the determinants of the approach-avoidance training effect without worrying about extraneous factors, such as participants' prior experience with the target drinks or large objective differences between the approached and avoided categories. At the same time, we wanted to contribute to extending approach-avoidance training to more everyday behaviors such as unhealthy consumption by using sugary soft drinks as the target stimuli in a nonclinical sample.
However, despite conducting four experiments on a total of three hundred participants, we could not find any evidence that approach-avoidance training affected participants' subsequent consumption of the two drinks, nor did their explicit liking or spontaneous evaluation tendency change. In essence, participants responded to the drink they had pushed away with a joystick in the same way as they did to the drink they had pulled towards themselves. This sobering result persisted whether participants were reminded of the meaning of their push-pull movements via semantic labels (i.e. having to pull the word "approach" in the same way as they pulled one of the target drinks) or via perceptual consequences (i.e. having a pulled drink zoom towards them), whether participants were allowed to taste the drinks during their training session or not, and regardless of whether participants were induced to judge the drinks before tasting them or afterward.
At the same time, we did find evidence that people's spontaneous response tendencies to approach and avoid were being affected by our training, albeit apparently not for very long. So what does this tell us? We might conclude from these studies that approach-avoidance training simply does not work for soft drinks, but this would be very much premature. There are many possible points at which the procedure might have failed to achieve the required impact in order to produce an effect on our measures.
For example, it is possible that participants did not construe the movements they were performing as approach-avoidance movements, but rather as meaningless arm movements. If this is the case, then future uncritical use of the semantic labeling and zooming visuals we implemented should be questioned. Leaving that point aside, it is also possible that participants did not transfer what they had learned during the approach-avoidance training to other contexts – a possibility in line with our finding that the changes our training caused in their behavioral approach-avoidance tendencies did not last outside of the training task itself. This would raise the question of what circumstances facilitate such a transfer and why this transfer did not occur in our study but did in other research that successfully produced an effect. Finally, it might be that the unfamiliarity of the drinks was problematic, as no existing response tendencies existed to be retrained. If so, forming new action tendencies in a training might not lead to the same consequences in the absence of concrete experience with the targets.
This last point, in particular, is underlined by other research from our lab, in which we also had participants perform approach-avoidance training toward soft drinks, but this time towards existing brands they were already familiar with. In these studies, we did find an approach-avoidance training effect on spontaneous evaluation responses, but only when participants already had positive spontaneous evaluations towards the drinks before the training. If participants showed initial positive responses towards a drink, approaching that drink tended to increase these responses while avoiding it tended to reduce them.
Taken together, all this research suggests that approach-avoidance training might not be the magic bullet we initially hoped for with regard to reducing unwanted behavior. We could not find the effect under laboratory conditions while controlling for various possible extraneous influences, and we are far from the only ones who have failed to produce this effect. However, there is sufficient extant research that does show the effects of approach-avoidance to believe that there is something there. Taken together, the checkered picture painted by these findings should lend us hope that the intervention can be optimized to be more reliable. And to that end, finding out when it doesn't work is as important as finding out when it does.
These findings are described in the article entitled No effects of explicit approach-avoidance training on immediate consumption of soft drinks, recently published in the journal Appetite (Appetite 130 (2018) 209-218). This work was conducted by Anand Krishna and Andreas B.Eder at the MovE lab, situated at the University of Würzburg.

The stately home inside which this city-based hotel resides dates back to the 17th century and features a small spa and a restaurant. The leafy patio, multiple balconies, stairs made of marble and the high ceilings offer an old-world charm. The 12 rooms, of which 7 are suites, include high-quality facilities, fine antiques, thick pile carpet runners, modern bathrooms, as well as all technical amenities such as free Wi-Fi, DVD players and plasma screen TV. Many sights, shops and restaurants of the island's capital can be reached from the Hotel Can Cera on foot.
The Hotel Can Cera is housed inside a typical Majorcan stately home from the 17th century. This old family palace changed owners quite often, and as such received numerous conversions over the course of its history. Today, the building shines with a new splendour after its most recent extensive refurbishment and renovation. The highlights include magnificent arcades, a typical Majorcan patio with a large Kentia palm tree and numerous other plants, large rooms with high ceilings and romantic balconies. The impressive original marble staircase leads guests to the upper floors.
The interior of the hotel features palatial grandeur with its painted terracotta tiles. This historic house is adorned with contemporary art which has been incorporated into the design in a sophisticated manner. A total of 12 rooms are simply and elegantly decorated and each have an individual style. As a special touch, antique furniture pieces and elements like thick pile carpet runners have been added. All rooms have air conditioning, and are spacious and quiet. Large beds in the Majorcan style, dressing rooms and modern bathrooms provide additional comfort of the guests.
Despite its central location in the heart of the old town of Palma de Mallorca, the Hotel Can Cera offers plenty of rest because the building sits on a pedestrianised street, which stretches between the Plaça de Santa Eulàlia and the Plaça de Sant Francesc. The Cathedral of La Seu is located only a few steps away. From the windows of the hotel rooms guests can also enjoy views of the historic centre.
Each morning in the Can Cera - Gastro Bar, guests can enjoy an extensive breakfast buffet, which can also be served in the beautiful courtyard. Alternatively, you can also have an à la carte breakfast or breakfast from the restaurant can be brought up to the room. During the day in the Can Cera - Bar Cafeteria you can try delicious drinks, small snacks for between meals, cakes and ice cream made in-house as well as tea and coffee specialities. The Gastro Bar serves tempting tapas, accompanied by fine wines. The Calatrava Gastro-Gourmet is the restaurant of the Hotel Can Cera, which can be found just a minutes walk away in the ground floor of the Boutique Hotel Calatrava, and celebrates the finest Mediterranean and Majorcan cuisine across its menu.
A unique feature of the Hotel Can Cera is the small integrated spa area that can be rented exclusively for guests on request. Finnish sauna, steam bath, jacuzzi, contrast shower, solarium and massages provide for relaxation. The beaches of Playa de Palma and Palma are located in 1 or 3 km away. Here you can sunbathe, splash in the water, sail, dive or go water skiing. Sports enthusiasts will find opportunities for hiking, golfing, cycling or ballooning and sailing nearby to the hotel. The nightlife of Palma with its numerous bars and restaurants begins only a few meters from the hotel door.
As the hotel is situated directly in the old town of Palma, the main sights of the island capital of Mallorca are within walking distance; including the Gothic Cathedral La Seu and also the Central Square of Plaza de España. There is also an abundance of shops and cinemas in the neighbourhood. A tip is to take a ride on the Soller Train, starting from the Plaza de España and going up into the Tramuntana Mountains, it also starts in the village of Soller and Port de Soller. The guests have the possibility to book a shuttle for a small fee, which transports them to the airport about 12 miles away from the hotel.
Those who find pleasure in the historic ambiance of this stately mansion will simply adore the 6 lounges of the luxury hotel. The premises range from the intimate library up to the roof terrace on the top floor with a view over the roofs of the old town. The real gems are the two rooms equipped with antique furniture—the Salón Rojo and Salón Dorado. Upstairs the comfortable TV watching room invites you to relax in front of its large glass window overlooking the courtyard. All rooms are equipped with Wi-Fi Internet access and can be hired exclusively for events.
