Talking Leaves: The Treaty of Hopewell | The Cherokee One Feather
Posted on March 9, 2014 by fish
Treaty of Hopewell | The Cherokee One Feather.
On November 28, 1785, the Treaty of Hopewell was signed between the U.S. representative Benjamin Hawkins and the Cherokee Indians. The treaty laid out a western boundary for white settlement. The treaty gave rise to the sardonic Cherokee phrase of Talking Leaves, since they claimed that when the treaties no longer suited the Americans, they would blow away like talking leaves. A description of the boundary is found on Article 4 of the accord.
Signatures of the Cherokee delegation there were several from leaders of the Chickamauga/Lower Cherokee, including two from Chickamauga itself and one from Lookout Mountain Town
Articles concluded at Hopewell, on the Keowee, between Benjamin Hawkins, Andrew Pickens, Joseph Martin, and Lachlan M'Intosh, Commissioners Plenipotentiary of the United States of America, of the one Part, and the Head-Men and Warriors of all the Cherokees of the other.
The Commissioners Plenipotentiary of the United States, in Congress assembled, give peace to all the Cherokees, and receive them into the favor and protection of the United States of America, on the following conditions:
ARTICLE 1.
The Head-Men and Warriors of all the Cherokees shall restore all the prisoners, citizens of the United States, or subjects of their allies, to their entire liberty: They shall also restore all the Negroes, and all other property taken during the late war from the citizens, to such person, and at such time and place, as the Commissioners shall appoint.
The Commissioners of the United States in Congress assembled, shall restore all the prisoners taken from the Indians, during the late war, to the Head-Men and Warriors of the Cherokees, as early as is practicable.
The said Indians for themselves and their respective tribes and towns do acknowledge all the Cherokees to be under the protection of the United States of America, and of no other sovereign whosoever.
The boundary allotted to the Cherokees for their hunting grounds, between the said Indians and the citizens of the United States, within the limits of the United States of America, is, and shall be the following, viz. Beginning at the mouth of Duck river, on the Tennessee; thence running north-east to the ridge dividing the waters running into Cumberland from those running into the Tennessee; thence eastwardly along the said ridge to a north-east line to be run, which shall strike the river Cumberland forty miles above Nashville; thence along the said line to the river; thence up the said river to the ford where the Kentucky road crosses the river; thence to Campbell's line, near Cumberland gap; thence to the mouth of Claud's creek on Holstein; thence to the Chimney-top mountain; thence to Camp-creek, near the mouth of Big Limestone, on Nolichuckey; thence a southerly course six miles to a mountain; thence south to the North-Carolina line; thence to the South-Carolina Indian boundary, and along the same south-west over the top of the Oconee mountain till it shall strike Tugaloo river; thence a direct line to the top of the Currohee mountain; thence to the head of the south fork of Oconee river.
If any citizen of the United States, or other person not being an Indian, shall attempt to settle on any of the lands westward or southward of the said boundary which are hereby allotted to the Indians for their hunting grounds, or having already settled and will not remove from the same within six months after the ratification of this treaty, such person shall forfeit the protection of the United States, and the Indians may punish him or not as they please: Provided nevertheless, That this article shall not extend to the people settled between the fork of French Broad and Holstein rivers, whose particular situation shall be transmitted to the United States in Congress assembled for their decision thereon, which the Indians agree to abide by.
If any Indian or Indians, or person residing among them, or who shall take refuge in their nation, shall commit a robbery, or murder, or other capital crime, on any citizen of the United States, or person under their protection, the nation, or the tribe to which such offender or offenders may belong, shall be bound to deliver him or them up to be punished according to the ordinances of the United States; Provided, that the punishment shall not be greater than if the robbery or murder, or other capital crime had been committed by a citizen on a citizen.
If any citizen of the United States, or person under their protection, shall commit a robbery or murder, or other capital crime, on any Indian, such offender or offenders shall be punished in the same manner as if the murder or robbery, or other capital crime, had been committed on a citizen of the United States; and the punishment shall be in presence of some of the Cherokees, if any shall attend at the time and place, and that they may have an opportunity so to do, due notice of the time of such intended punishment shall be sent to some one of the tribes.
It is understood that the punishment of the innocent under the idea of retaliation, is unjust, and shall not be practiced on either side, except where there is a manifest violation of this treaty; and then it shall be preceded first by a demand of justice, and if refused, then by a declaration of hostilities.
For the benefit and comfort of the Indians, and for the prevention of injuries or oppressions on the part of the citizens or Indians, the United States in Congress assembled shall have the sole and exclusive right of regulating the trade with the Indians, and managing all their affairs in such manner as they think proper.
ARTICLE 10.
Until the pleasure of Congress be known, respecting the ninth article, all traders, citizens of the United States, shall have liberty to go to any of the tribes or towns of the Cherokees to trade with them, and they shall be protected in their persons and property, and kindly treated.
The said Indians shall give notice to the citizens of the United States, of any designs which they may know or suspect to be formed in any neighboring tribe, or by any person whosoever, against the peace, trade or interest of the United States.
That the Indians may have full confidence in the justice of the United States, respecting their interests, they shall have the right to send a deputy of their choice, whenever they think fit, to Congress.
The hatchet shall be forever buried, and the peace given by the United States, and friendship re-established between the said states on the one part, and all the Cherokees on the other, shall be universal; and the contracting parties shall use their utmost endeavors to maintain the peace given as aforesaid, and friendship re-established.
In witness of all and every thing herein determined, between the United States of America and all the Cherokees, we, their underwritten Commissioners, by virtue of our full powers, have signed this definitive treaty, and have caused our seals to be hereunto affixed. Done at Hopewell, on the Keowee, this twenty-eighth of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-five.

Eevia Health Plc: Eevia Health Plc Interim Report Q3 – 2022
Eevia Health Plc ("Eevia" or "The Company") is releasing its quarterly financial report for the third quarter of 2022.
Summary of the third quarter 2022 (Q3-22):
Adjusted net sales1 grew by 105% from KEUR 560 in Q3-21 to KEUR 1 148 in Q3-22. It was achieved despite a three-week production stop in July 2022 to execute the summer holidays, which was not done in 2021. By including raw material trading revenues of KEUR 730 in Q3-21, net sales decreased by 11%, from KEUR 1 289 in Q3-21 to KEUR 1 148 in Q3-22.
The gross profit in Q3-22 came in at KEUR 735, up 432% from KEUR 138 in Q3-21. It constitutes a gross margin2 of 63%, a significant improvement over Q3-21 (25%) and Q2-22 (35%). The improvement stems from multiple factors, including higher production yields from changes in production protocols and efficiency gains from new equipment installations, as well as improved purchase and sales prices. Alongside a favorable high-margin product mix in the third quarter including certain contract manufacturing projects invoiced at 100% margin. Furthermore, Eevia Health has started valorizing several production side streams containing fruit sugars and fibers. This creates new value from divergent product structures1.
These valorizations will over time lead to high-volume outputs of new products, which will require business development and penetration of new markets. However, in the short term, these products already have proven sales at moderate volumes. If longer-term high-volume sales can be secured, this will continue to positively impact Eevia's profitability. The comparable gross margin without the above-mentioned effects was approaching 40% in the third quarter.
EBITDA in Q3-22 was positive at KEUR 56 compared to KEUR -750 in Q3-21 and KEUR -70 in Q2-22, an improvement of KEUR 806 and KEUR 126, respectively. The improvement stems mainly from improved gross profit.
The net result for Q3-22 was negative with KEUR -377, an improvement of KEUR 503 compared to Q3-21 (KEUR -880).
The net result in Q3-22 was impacted by a non-cash foreign exchange loss of KEUR 211. This was related to the difference in exchange rates between (i) invoiced sales to a major customer denominated in USD and the portion of the payment for such sales which is paid by way of set-off against (ii) historic customer prepayments, registered at a different exchange rate. Due to an accounting error, the non-cash loss has been accrued since the third quarter of 2021, with no part of the loss being related to Q3-22. 116 KEUR of the total stems from 2021 and is booked under financial items, and the rest is booked as a reduction of net sales revenues. In addition to these items, interest, and fees on a bridge financing from June 2022 led to the total net financial items at KEUR -226. Eevia has since July amended the accounting treatment of said sales receivables linked to prepayments in other currencies, such that an immediate set-off against customer prepayments denominated in USD is conducted at the time of issuing the invoice. This will avoid artificial foreign exchange gains or losses on these elements going forward.
Cash flow from operations was negative with KEUR -280, driven by a build-up of inventory for customer delivery in early Q4. This was still an improvement compared to the negative cash flow of KEUR -431 in Q3-21 and KEUR -1 095 in Q1- 22, but below the positive cash flow from operations in Q2-22 (KEUR 12).
In September, Dr. Tommi Kilpeläinen (Ph.D. Pharm.) was recruited as the Scientific Product Manager and joined the Management Team first week in October. The recruitment of Dr. Kilpeläinen strengthens Eevia's rejuvenated strategic focus on cellular recycling and product positioning in global markets for its ingredients.
The company completed a fully subscribed rights issue following the end of the quarter, raising MSEK 21.6 to fund working capital for continued growth and organizational development. The funds raised to puts the company in a favorable position to execute its ambitious growth plans into 2023.
Eevia launched Feno-Cerasus™ Organic, a new ingredient for cognitive health extracted from Tart Cherry, during the third quarter, with the first order to the US received in November.

Introduction: Despite proliferation of quality measures & dashboards, healthcare quality & value remain elusive.(1,2) Measurement tends to focus on services provided & processes, failing to consider "what happened to the patients."(2) The key is capturing data on outcomes that matter to patients over meaningful episodes of care. Such outcomes are often "buried in free text & are not captured in analyzable form."(2) This pilot study seeks to examine data obtained from qualitative, open-ended, post-partum interviews, & to contrast this with routinely captured QI/QA data.
Methods: OB anesthesia service routinely performs follow up 12-36 hours after delivery. A pro-forma survey instrument has been utilized since Feb 2009. Residents & SRNAs use it to solicit problems, complications, side effects, satisfaction scores (0-10) for pain relief (labor or cesarean) & anesthesia service, experience relative to expectations (fell short/met/exceeded), and comments. More recently, 3 scripted, open-ended questions (preceded by a purpose statement) were devised to solicit rich descriptions of parturient anesthetic experiences & details regarding aspects that enhanced/diminished their experience. Separate from pro-forma QI process, parturients are randomly selected/approached for brief post-partum interviews, notes are taken, & quotes are recorded immediately. Preliminary analysis is simple comparison of pro-forma data (i.e. scores, experience v expectations) & recorded interview comments.
Results: Interview excerpts are juxtaposed with pro-forma QI data (table). It is common to observe dissonance between pro-forma data & qualitative data. Reasons for high/low scores for pain relief or service are rarely discernable from pro- forma data, but are captured well by interview data. Interviews often reveal complex layers of concerns, views, & inferred values, as well as context for understanding those perspectives. Finally, provider communication & interpersonal behaviors (attentiveness, effort, sensitivity, listening, caring gestures) often appear to mitigate against suboptimal analgesia outcomes. Conversely, poor interpersonal performance tends to detract from parturients' experiences despite excellent analgesic outcomes.
Discussion: This pilot study suggests that brief qualitative post-partum interviews provide valuable insights into what matters to parturients, a first step in measuring & improving healthcare value.

Elia María González-Álvarez i López-Chicheri, més coneguda com a Lilí Álvarez (Roma, 9 de maig de 1905 – Madrid, 8 de juliol de 1998) va ser una pluriesportista, escriptora i periodista espanyola. Va practicar nombrosos esports, destacant com a tennista i patinadora, encara que també va practicar esquí, alpinisme, equitació, billar i va pilotar cotxes de carreres. Va ser una pionera de l'esport femení espanyol.

Biografia
Va néixer a l'hotel Flora de Roma (Itàlia) durant una llarga estada dels seus pares. Es va criar a Suïssa i des d'una edat primerenca va començar a competir en una gran diversitat d'esports.

El 1934 Lilí d'Álvarez es va casar amb el comte de Valdéne, un aristòcrata francès. El 1939,
va perdre el seu únic fill i la parella aviat es va separar. Va tornar a la seva llar a Espanya el 1941
on va continuar activa en els esports i va començar a escriure sobre assumptes femenins i religiosos.

Va fundar el 1960, amb altres dones (María Laffitte y Pérez del Pulgar, Consuelo de la Gándara, Elena Catena de Vindel, María Salas Larrazábal, Pura Salas Larrazábal, Concepción Borreguero Sierra, María Jiménez de Obispo el Valle) el Seminari d'Estudis Sociològics sobre les dones amb l'objectiu d'aconseguir ser un espai de reflexió, diàleg i investigació al voltant de les dones a Espanya. Hi va pertànyer fins a la seua desaparició el 1986.

Carrera com a tennista
Lilí Álvarez va ser una pionera en el tennis femení espanyol i va ser la jugadora més dominant
del seu país el 1920. Entre 1926 i 1928 va aconseguir tres finals consecutives
a Wimbledon. El 1929 Álvarez va fer equip amb la jugadora holandesa Cornelia Bouman per guanyar el títol en dobles femenins en Roland Garros. Dos anys abans, perdria el títol de dobles mixt formant duo amb Bill Tilden.

El primer torneig que va guanyar va ser el campionat de Ginebra, amb 14 anys, el 1919. Va participar en dobles al costat de Rosa Torras en els Jocs Olímpics de París de 1924, on va arribar fins a quarts de final, sent l'esportista que més lluny va arribar de tota la delegació espanyola.

Lilí Álvarez va tenir una brillant actuació en els tornejos francesos de terra batuda celebrats a la Costa Blava. Campionats com Montecarlo, Cannes, Niça, Menton o Le Tonquet (París), van ser tornejos habituals en el palmarès de Lilí durant gairebé tota la dècada dels 20 i principis dels 30.

A Anglaterra va conquistar en 1926 el torneig de Beckenham, derrotant en la final la vuit cops campiona de l'Obert dels Estats Units Molla Mallory, la qual cosa seria preludi de la seva bona actuació en el Torneig de Wimbledon.

El 1930, Lilí Álvarez va guanyar el Torneig de Roma, campionat considerat com el tercer més important d'Europa; cap espanyola no va aconseguir alçar la copa de campiona fins que ho va fer Conchita Martínez el 1993. A l'hivern viatjà a Sud-amèrica, on guanyà els tornejos de Rio de Janeiro i Buenos Aires. Després d'una recaiguda en el seu rendiment que la portà a retirar-se el 1932, reaparegué el 1937.

Lilí Álvarez va guanyar dues vegades el Campionat d'Espanya de Tennis, el 1929 i el 1940, tancant així la seva carrera tenística un any més tard, després de guanyar la final del torneig de Santander (1941).

Lilí Álvarez va guanyar 38 (o 39) tornejos individuals, 19 en dobles i 21 en mixts; va vèncer les millors jugadores de la seva època com Suzanne Lenglen, Molla Mallory, Cilly Aussem, Helene Contostavlos, Simone Mathieu o Lucia Valerio, i el diari Daily Mail londinenc va considerar Lilí Álvarez una de les deu millors jugadores de tennis des de 1926 fins a 1931. Durant el binomi 1927-1928 va ser considerada la segona millor jugadora del món després d'Helen Wills. El joc d'Álvarez fou inusualment atrevit.

El 1931 va commocionar el món del tennis jugant primer el Roland Garros de París i després els campionats de Wimbledon amb una faldilla-pantaló dissenyada especialment per la dissenyadora Elsa Schiaparelli, que seria la precursora dels pantalons curts.

Carrera esportiva
Encara que la fama esportiva de Lilí Álvarez la hi deu al tennis, aquest mai va ser el seu esport preferit, sinó els esports d'hivern. Va aprendre a patinar amb quatre anys a Suïssa i el 1917, quan tenia dotze anys, guanyà el seu primer campionat de patinatge a Saint-Moritz, superant la campiona francesa Melle Joly. Repetiria triomf el 1921 guanyant la Medalla d'Or Internacional de patinatge.

És convocada per la delegació espanyola dels primers Jocs Olímpics d'Hivern de Chamonix de 1924; no obstant això, una forta lesió fa que se centri en el tennis, i així abandona definitivament el patinatge. No obstant això, el 1940 reprèn la pràctica d'esports d'hivern i guanya el Campionat d'Espanya d'Esquí Alpí.

Ara bé, la participació de Lilí Álvarez, juntament amb la també tenista Rosa Torras, als Jocs Olímpics de 1924 va suposar l'inici de la presència femenina en esdeveniments olímpics en representació de la delegació espanyola. Concretament la seva participació en aquells Jocs s'inicià el dia 13 de juliol de 1924 en enfrontaments individuals.

El 1924, amb 19 anys, decideix participar en el Campionat de Catalunya d'Automobilisme, i aconsegueix el seu primer i únic títol en aquest esport, que abandona en comprovar la poca competició que hi havia. No obstant això, la importància d'aquest triomf es va deure al fet que, fins avui, és l'única dona a haver-hi aconseguit un triomf en categoria masculina (no hi havia competició femenina).

Carrera literària
En 1927 Lili d'Álvarez va escriure un llibre en anglès publicat a Londres amb el títol
Modern lawn tennis. Aquest any, Álvarez va començar
escrivint articles polítics d'Espanya per al periòdic britànic Daily Mail.

En 1946 publica el seu llibre Plenitud. Activament, va recolzar el moviment mundial
femení i en 1951 va realitzar una xerrada titulada La batalla de la feminidad al
Congrés Hispà-Americà femení. Al llarg dels anys, va escriure molts llibres més.

Lili d'Álvarez va morir a Madrid en 1998.

So I was aimlessly browsing around Super Valu the other day and obviously wandered over to the personal section. BAM! In my face, there it was. A very feminine looking bottle of Lynx. I inspected it further and realised it was in fact, a limited edition deodorant bodyspray for women! I hadn't heard about this at all but apparently the ad on tele for it has already aired! I tweeted a pic of my discovery (obvs). Sure enough a few of you had heard about it. I didn't get a chance to smell it but decided that night that I wanted to buy it to try out.... yaknow.....just cause!! So I did, and I tried it out yesterday.
Yep, sounds about right. It's a fresh clean smelling scent but with a definite hint of floral/fruity. I used it as a deodorant and as a body spray. Now I don't sweat that much at all. Maybe it's my usual Sure stick that does the job, but this did too, as I applied it at 8:30 and I was still fresh by 7pm. The smell did linger nicely for a few hours which is great. I got a woft of it every now and again as I moved about in work.
There is also a men's version but I haven't sniffed this. I got mine in Super Valu on sale for €3, original price being €4 something but there are various offers on at the moment.
Now at the end of the day, this is just a deodorant/bodyspray and I'm not going to go on too much about it. It's just one of those things I was surprised to see, as it's Lynx's first product for women. I wonder If there will be any more!
I picked up a can to give away also. Just leave a comment below telling me what deodorant you are currently using.
Congrats Charlotte Fleming, you get to try out Lynx Attract for her.


#SPSM chats about Logan Paul, and how he (unintentionally) has changed how major social media platforms handle the topic of suicide, 1/21/18, 9pCT.
Interestingly, it wasn't suicide prevention media guidelines that led to Logan Paul's apology about showing the corpse of someone who died by suicide in a Japanese forest known as a destination for people who want to take their lives.
While official leadership at YouTube waited 4 days to make the decision to remove this video, and took weeks to announce decisions to sever ties with Logan Paul, it was actually immediate and overwhelming public backlash about his grossly inappropriate use of the corpse of a person who died by suicide just to get social media views.
Social media, is, at it's heart, *social*. In this case it was the overwhelming public consciousness about the seriousness of suicide and mental health challenges that led to the backlash, and severe public and professional consequences for both Logan Paul, as well as YouTube. In fact there are community "standards," often informal and just socially understood, that seemed to pressure the removal of this video, led to increased efforts YouTube, Google, and others to improve strategies for responsible coverage of suicide on social media.

Parasitic fly creates "zombie bees" -- a new factor explaining Colony Collapse Disorder
Thursday, February 16, 2012 by: Tara Green

https://www.naturalnews.com/034982_honeybees_zombies_colony_collapse.html
(NaturalNews) Researchers at a California university have found a parasitic fly which causes honeybees to become disoriented and abandon their hives before dying, behavior which made one of the researchers compare them to zombies. Scientists believe this may be a contributing factor to Colony Collapse Disorder, which has decimated honeybee populations, affecting the honey market and the pollination of crops as well as raising concern about environmental toxins.
The insect version of a horror movie
The parasitic flies were discovered by chance when John Hafernik, professor of biology at San Francisco State University, collected some dead bees, found under a light on campus, as food for a praying mantis he had just captured. "Being an absent-minded professor, I left them in a vial on my desk and forgot about them. Then the next time I looked at the vial, there were all these fly pupae surrounding the bees."
The flies were later identified as Apocephalus borealis. The female A. borealis fly deposits its eggs into the bee's abdomen, and about a week later, mature fly larvae emerge from the host's head and thorax. Infected bees move their limbs in a jerky limb fashion and walk in circles. They leave their hives and seek bright lights as if they were moths rather than bees. They die shortly afterwards and as many as 13 parasite fly larvae may then crawl out from the body of their host.
One member of the research team, biology graduate student and study co-author Andrew Core, observed that the bees "kept . . . falling over. It really painted a picture of something like a zombie." The researchers found that bees which leave the hive to forage at night, rather than those that forage by day, seem most likely to become infected. In addition, the researchers believe the parasitic flies may multiply within a hive, infecting other members of the swarm, even pregnant queen bees.
The research team analyzed several hives in the both the Central Valley and Bay areas of Northern California and also some hives from South Dakota. Seventy-seven percent of the hives they sampled contained evidence of A. borealis. The scientists believe this may be a recent change in the behavior of this particular species of fly. The A. borealis fly has been known in the past to be a parasite of bumblebees and paper wasps but has not previously been known to inject its eggs into honeybees.
Double parasites, viruses and more
The researchers' findings add another clue to the mystery of CCD but also reveal how complicated the origins of that disorder are. Infected bees and their fly parasites were found to hold genetic traces of another parasite, Nosema ceranae. Analysis also revealed both parasite and host have a virus which causes wing deformities. These findings suggest that A. borealis may weaken hives in multiple ways.
The research team plans to use video monitoring and tiny radio tags to monitor hives for further research. Since they have so far only sampled hives from two states, they want to learn if the new parasitic behavior of A. borealis occurs in other areas. They hope to learn whether the "zombie bees" choose to leave the hive or if other members of the group sense their disease and drive them away to protect the swarm. They also hope to pinpoint the location in which bees become infected "We don't know the best way to stop parasitization, because one of the big things we're missing is where the flies are parasitizing the bees," stated Hafernik.
"We don't fully understand the web of interactions," said Hafernik. "The parasite could be another stressor, enough to push the bee over tipping point. Or it could play a primary role in causing the disease." Hafernik and Core's study was published in early January 2011 in the open access science journal PLoS ONE.

As oil sinks, some companies float idea of 'zero clause' in trades

LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - After the worst quarter for oil prices in history, some oil producers have begun to include protection in their contracts to avoid being forced to pay buyers for the oil they pump if prices slide below $0 a barrel.
Crude prices in key physical markets - including the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe - have fallen through $10 a barrel, far below comparable futures prices, as demand slumps and storage fills. Those discounts could widen even further, making it possible that outright physical prices could fall below $0 per barrel.
Such occurrences are rare, though it has happened in other markets, such as West Texas natural gas markets, where spot prices dropped into negative territory in early March, forcing producers to pay to have others take their gas.
Oil prices have been hammered by the collapse in demand after the coronavirus outbreak and the sudden end of an OPEC-led supply reduction pact. Oil benchmarks plunged more than 65% in the first quarter.
Futures prices rebounded on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump said Russia and Saudi Arabia could come together to support markets. However, if global demand falls by 30 million barrels per day (bpd), prices could still fall, and there could be bigger discounts for barrels produced in more isolated locales.
Major oil companies and those involved in U.S. shale have started introducing a zero clause, to avoid having to pay buyers to take oil away, six sources said.
"If the purchase price to be paid by Buyer to Seller for any crude oil delivered is less than zero dollars, such purchase price shall be deemed to be zero dollars," reads one such clause, one of the six sources said.
Exxon Mobil Corp introduced such clauses into contracts a few days ago for new deals, according to two counterparties to Exxon's trades who have seen the contracts. Exxon declined to comment on commercial matters.
"The majors have brought this up as a discussion," said one of the trade sources familiar with the talks, adding the price was a matter for the parties to agree upon. "It could be somewhere between $5 and zero."
Others said it could be difficult to add clauses as it would affect trading relationships. "We are not doing it and are not accepting it when we purchase," one source at a U.S. shale producer said.
Three sources in the North American crude market said they were in discussions with legal teams on language around such clauses. One Canadian oil producer's notice to customers seen by Reuters put a floor price of one penny on trades.
Canadian heavy oil in Alberta traded $16.65 per barrel below WTI, or about $3.60 a barrel outright on Wednesday.
The physical Brent crude benchmark, known as dated Brent, dropped to a new record discount to Brent futures at about a $10 a barrel.


On this website you will find images of hippos taken by Will Burrard-Lucas.
The Hippo is a large plant eater that spends most of its life in the water, particularly in lakes, lagoons and rivers, and only emerging at night to graze. They are found in Africa.
Hippos are characterised by their small legs, large body size, large jaws with big teeth. Hippos are fiercely territorial in the water, but not on land.
Hippos are often considered as one of the most dangerous animals in Africa, due to their highly aggressive and unpredictable nature.
Despite their appearance, Hippos are powerful and can run at a considerable speed on land. They have strong jaws, equipped with formidable teeth and can attack at the slightest provocation. Crocodiles are often involved in fights with Hippos as they are close neighbours in Africa's rivers and lagoons.

Scuba diving is an amazing hobby that can take you to all the corners of the globe. But did you know that scuba diving can be therapeutic, both physically and psychologically? In this article I want to focus on scuba diving with anxiety, and how this hobby continues to help me lead a calmer and more fulfilling life, both in and out the water.
I wrote an extensive article on anxiety and travel here, but in short, anxiety is characterized by a sense of impending doom, or loss of control over a situation, whether it is real or imagined. Anxiety can have many symptoms, but many people will be familiar with the symptoms of a panic attack: shortness of breath, racing heart, cold sweats, and the feeling that you are going to die.
Anxiety isn't always about panic attacks, in fact, many people suffer unknowingly with a generalized anxiety, which permeates their everyday and can even be perceived as simply a part of that person's personality. People that suffer from generalized anxiety often feel like things will always go wrong, and tend to have a hundred back up plans for every situation. They also tend to suffer from frequent stomach issues, which is more about stress than it is about stomach health.
As we move into an ever more stressful and fast paced society, more and more people are suffering from anxiety in one form or another. There are many therapeutic options available that are super effective in curbing anxiety, but today I want to focus on one that many people may not know about: scuba diving with anxiety.
The number one rule in scuba diving is to never hold your breath. One of the most effective methods of combatting anxiety is to focus on taking deep, steady breaths. From the very first rule, scuba can help someone who suffers from anxiety with a fundamental skill of focusing on the breath. If we can learn to breathe slowly and deeply underwater, we can remind ourselves of this skill when we begin to feel anxious in our day to day lives.
For me, when anxiety hits, I can experience sensory overload. Sounds become too loud and light hurts my eyes. Scuba diving with anxiety for me was the most welcome sensory deprivation. If you think about it, being underwater means that you have zero sense of smell, and unless you swallow some sea water, you aren't using your sense of taste at all either. Hearing is dulled to focus purely on the sound of your breath and some of the animals around you.
The light underwater is softened and as an ethical recreational diver, you aren't touching the reef or anything really except your own equipment or your buddy. I often refer to scuba as my zen place, as the lack of intense sensory input means that I feel instantly calmer and more at peace.
You know that feeling of being tucked up under a hundred heavy blankets in winter? That feeling of safety and comfort? Well it is actually a well documented phenomena that pressure helps us to relax and feel calm and safe. So it stands to reason that people with anxiety can benefit from the use of pressure, and scuba diving with anxiety uses this principle beautifully.
As you descend to depth underwater, the pressure increases on your body. This means that your whole body is encased in relaxing pressure, whilst simultaneously feeling weightless and free, suspended in the water. This of course, is not only good for anxiety, it can also help people suffering from pain or in recovery from injury to get an impact free exercise that helps their bodies recover, something you can read more about here.
Scuba is not a high energy sport. In fact, the better you get at scuba, the less energy you expend. If you are swimming at top speed you are going to have a very short dive as you blast through your available air. Likewise, when we live with anxiety we can find ourselves overthinking, and becoming physically exhausted and pushing our bodies to the max.
Scuba diving with anxiety means that we are forced to slow down, and for those of us who worry about needing to be good at things, this is one activity where slowing down and chilling out are mandatory! I find that scuba requires a different level of focus for me, where my mind has a set number of details that is can check through, and the rest of my body is left to relax into the almost meditative nature of diving.
Scuba also provides very clear instructions for emergency situations, so that your anxious mind doesn't need to overthink or over-plan. In scuba you know more or less what to expect, and how to deal with what you cannot expect or control. Even when situations go wrong, there is a clearly set out way of dealing with each situation, and you will either be trained in these situations or be accompanied by someone who is.
As someone with a mild social anxiety, I often find myself rehearsing conversations before I have them, or playing out a variety of situations over and over in my mind even if they are unlikely to ever actually happen. You can't speak underwater, but you can communicate. There is a set system of hand signals that are used underwater, and having these signals means that there is less chance of stuffing up a conversation in an awkward way.
Communication is really pared down to the essentials, mostly checking if your buddy is okay, asking for help, or signaling that there is something cool to see. There is so much less to be anxious about, and if you are anxious, you can practice your hand signals to perfection without worrying that you will be misunderstood. You also get into the habit of checking on your buddy, and being checked on, which is a really reassuring social skill.
So often we forget to check up on our friends, or we get defensive when people ask us if we are okay. Scuba diving takes away all of that, making it mandatory to really look at your buddy in the eyeballs and make sure they are doing okay, and be honest about whether we are okay too. It would be a much better world if we all got used to this outside of the water as well.
Divers have known for a while that the benefits of diving go beyond getting some exercise, but science is starting to catch up. The most recent study by the University of Sheffield's Medical School focused on the work of Deptherapy UK, who work with military veterans who are suffering from various post combat physical and psychological issues.
The study found that diving training and activities had a significant impact on the anxiety and depression levels of the participants, as well as helping to alleviate the social dysfunction and insomnia symptoms of PTSD. You can read more about the study here. You can also support Deptherapy UK in their awesome work by checking out their website here.
PADI also has some awesome articles about the mental health benefits of scuba diving with anxiety and other disorders, and you can read some of that here. You can now also do a PADI specialist course as part of your Master Diver training that focuses on the psychology of scuba. Run by Scubapsyche, this specialization is definitely on my bucket list, and is a must for anyone that not only wants to understanding themselves better as a diver, but help others as well. You can read more about that specialization here.
If you, like me, struggle with anxiety, perhaps you should give scuba diving a try as part of your therapy journey. You can find out how to get your scuba qualifications in Bali like we did, here. At the very least, scuba opens up a world of travel opportunities, with some of the friendliest and chilled people you can meet. Hopefully you will also find your scuba training helping you to bring the zen up out of the ocean and into your daily life.
I love this post! I got my OW certificate ten years ago and I consider it one of the most transformative experiences of my life, because it was one of the first times I really struggled with something and couldn't use words to communicate a solution. For my first ten (or twenty) post-certification dives I would always come to the surface and when the DM asked how the dive had gone, I would say, "I'm alive!" I was genuinely surprised, every time! Now I'm much more confident and I'm usually helping other people out!
I love this kind of topics! I remember when I was diving in Australia and one girl in our group started panicking and at the end she never went under the water.
Wow! Such a helpful and well written post! Thanks for sharing with us! I love scuba diving, but it is quite a new perspective.
I suffer from anxiety as well; I enjoyed this post because it provides a fun hobby to help deal with anxiety. Plus, scuba diving is on my bucket list!
I've only just begun to learn how to scuba dive (did my open water certification a few months ago, just need to do the tests now!) but I often have anxiety about the water, but I'm sure once I'm in the water those worries will wash away. Thank you for sharing this!
Although we are from different countries, we share the same idea and feeling about diving. Good article! Please carry on. Totally agreed that ocean is a good place to calm down and with Therapeutic factors. I changed a lot inside after learning how to dive.
