WSJ: conflict in Ukraine disrupts the schedule of deliveries of American weapons to Taiwan
The fulfillment by the United States of obligations to provide weapons to Taiwan is complicated by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The supply of weapons to Kyiv (due to the armed conflict in Ukraine) has already led to a disruption in the schedule for sending weapons to the island. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing sources in the Pentagon.
According to the publication, the backlog in the supply of weapons to Taiwan is about 19 billion dollars. In December 2015, a contract was signed between Washington and Taipei for the supply of more than 200 Javelin anti-tank systems and 215 Stinger anti-aircraft systems, but at the moment not a single weapon from this contract has arrived on the island.
Also delayed is an $8 billion deal for 66 F-16 fighter jets. Manufacturer Lockheed Martin attributes the delay to supply chain disruption due to the pandemic. With a delay of several years, howitzers "Paladin" and MLRS "Haymars" will be sent to Taiwan. Commitments under current contracts will not be fulfilled until 2026, according to the WSJ.
This is worrisome in Taipei, with the island's authorities insisting on meeting schedules due to China's rising military power.
Taiwan would like to request that the weapons that the United States sells to Taiwan be delivered strictly according to the schedule
- WSJ quotes the words of General Wang Shin-lung, Deputy Minister of National Defense of Taiwan.
The WSJ recalled that the United States pumped billions of dollars into Ukraine after the start of the NWO in February this year. The flow of weapons into the country makes it more difficult for Taiwan to arm itself to defend it against a possible Chinese invasion.
A task force has already been set up at the Pentagon to work on ways to expedite arms deliveries to Taiwan. According to US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, the main problem in the supply of weapons to the island is not the conflict in Ukraine, but the insufficient capacity of the production base. To meet all the needs, in his opinion, it is necessary to look for opportunities to increase the production of all types of weapons.

Good pace story with enjoyable characters. Lead woman is too hard on herself.
Awesome book. I really enjoyed this book the author dod a great job.


No, haven't really had a chance to get to a professional about it, and I don't even know how to actually mention it in person.
Well you could just say it right as it is, that should be the easiest way because there is no shame in seeking help from a professional and your not wasting anyones time because it is their job to help you if your in any forms of pain, and no one is gonna think less of you for it. we have to do what what we have to do to get by sometimes.

The Jacksons: A Celebration of 50 Years (2017)
In 2017, The Jacksons (Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon) perform a series of shows in the United Kingdom as part of A Celebration of 50 Years, as well as one show in Canada and in The Netherlands. The Jacksons perform at the major British festivals in front of an audience of hundreds of thousands, including Glastonbury Festival that is aired live by the BBC. The setlist of the show has not changed a lot from the shows of The Jacksons in previous years, besides Tito introducing his music in a solo segment, singing "When The Magic Happens" and "Get It Baby" with backing vocals by Jackie, Jermaine and Marlon! Also "State of Shock" is added to the setlist as a surprising encore! Unfortunately, Jackie was missed during the show in Rotterdam due to a health issue. Tito Jackson performed a solo show during Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage 2017 on the Carnival Dream Cruise Ship on April 3rd, 2017.

Q: Escape Non-ASCII chars from an NSString for RTF-file I need to generate rtf-files on iOS-Devices.
As RTF only supports ASCII with escaping, I need to find a solution to escape non-latin characters, so that i.e. ü becomes \'fc, ä \'e4 and ë \'eb
I have following code inside a Category on NSString
self = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"{\\rtf1\\ansi{\\fonttbl\\f0\\fswiss Helvetica;}\\f0\\pard %@ \\par}", self ];
[[self dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES] writeToFile:filenameStr atomically:YES];

but this only turn ü to u, ä to a, etc...
How can I do correct UTF-8 escaping of non-ascii characters?

A: I found a solution — at least for my case:
self = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"{\\rtf1\\mac{\\fonttbl\\f0\\fswiss Helvetica;}\\f0\\pard %@ \\par}", self ];
[self writeToFile:filename atomically:YES];

Joe Fortes reminds me of those classic, posh restaurants from the early 20th century. I am absolutely stricken by the early Hollywood glamour style, which is probably one of the reasons why I like Joe Fortes.
I don't come here as often as I would like to, but I have been eyeing their appy hour menu for awhile and decided to go with Birks one sunny afternoon after work! Appy hour was from 4-6pm, we got there around 4:15 and were quickly seated. The happy hour special is only applicable to the limited bar seating, so I was glad we got seats! We noticed that the bar was fully seated by 5, and there was a short lineup for their appy hour specials.
Started off with the shrimp cerviche ($7). I really liked the cerviche at Tap and Barrel, and wanted to see how theirs compared! This was probably my favourite dish out of all the ones that Birks and I ordered. It was very refreshing, and the avocado and shrimp tasted really sweet and fresh. Shrimps and avocados mark the top of my food favourites, so it was great to be able to enjoy them together.
Up next was the calamari ($9). I thought the calamari was a bit bland, probably should have squeezed more lemon juice or used more of the sauce. The batter itself was crispy, and the red onions were a small but great inclusion, and gave it a rounder flavour.
Truffle parmesan frites ($5). I didn't really enjoy the flavour of the cheese, grana padano, and found it to be a tad bit too much for my tastebuds. Apart from that, the fries were pretty standard. I don't think this dish is worth the $5, especially once you take away the cheese, they taste like your regular fries.

Effect of mass evaporation on measurement of liquid density of Ni-based super alloys using ground and space levitation techniques
J. Nawer, X. Xiao, M.P. SanSoucie and D.M. Matson
Loss of mass due to evaporation during molten metal levitation processing significantly influences the evaluation of density, viscosity and surface tension during thermophysical property measurement. Since there is no direct way to track the evaporation rate during the process, this paper describes a mathematical approach to track mass loss and quantify any changes in alloy composition as a function of time and temperature. The Ni-based super alloy CMSX-4 Plus (SLS) was investigated and a model was developed to predict the dynamic loss of mass with time and track the potential for composition shifts throughout each thermal cycle based on the Langmuir's equation for ideal solution behavior. Results were verified by post-test chemical analysis of key elemental constituents including Al, Cr, Ti, and Co where the error in composition for each element was less than 1% when the activity of aluminum in solution was fixed at zero – effectively eliminating evaporation of aluminum for ground-based electrostatic levitation (ESL) testing in vacuum. This model predicts the mass evaporation for Al and Co within ±6 % errors for CMSX-4 plus samples processed in ESL. Application of this technique to the space tests using the ESA ISS-EML facility shows that by conducting experiments in an inert shielding-gas environment, composition shifts due to differential relative evaporation become negligible and the composition is maintained within the desired limits. By tracking overall mass loss during testing the influence of evaporation on density measurements is discussed.

The Sixers go up 3-1 on the Bulls, but are you surprised?
By Joe Vallee at 12:43 am on Monday May 7, 2012
The Sixers have a three games to one lead on the top-seed Chicago Bulls in the NBA Playoffs.
I'll say it again in case you didn't soak it in the first time: The Sixers have a three games to one lead on the number one seeded Chicago Bulls in the NBA Playoffs.
I would say stranger things have happened, but in Philadelphia, that saying usually goes against us.
Make no mistake, Game 4 in the best of seven series was a game that saw the Sixers come out on the prettier side of ugly. Jrue Holiday started out the game going 1 for 13 from the field. Combine this with the shooting of Evan Turner and Lou Williams and you have a combined 12 for 45 from the floor for the entire game. However, Holiday's consecutive three pointers put the Sixers up by seven and they never relinquished the lead. You also have to commend Holiday and Turner for their defensive play despite inconsistent shooting.
And yes, I would be remiss if I didn't give Andre Iguodala some props as well. One of the worst fourth quarter shooters in the NBA, Iguodala made what was a four point Sixers lead into a six point lead with the game on the line. And yes, the man is playing with a strained achilles. That has to count for something.
The Sixers were 22 for 31 from the free throw line and capitalized on 20 second chance points in the game. Spencer Hawes became the first Sixers center since Moses Malone to have back to back 20 point games in the post-season. Hawes had 22 points and eight rebounds and shot 9-11 from the field. It's going to be interesting to see how the Sixers are going to handle contract talks with the soon-to-be free agent (and injury prone) Hawes after the season ends.
Let's not kid ourselves here: chances are the Sixers would be down three games to one as opposed to their current status if Derrick Rose (and to a lesser degree Joakim Noah) were healthy, but for once, a Philly team finally benefits from another team's injuries. As we all know in this town, sports is never fair. There is still an abundance of work to be done with this Sixers team when the season ends, but we should truly enjoy this ride as long as it lasts. As for the Bulls, they have six titles. They'll get over it.
On Tuesday night, the Sixers could become just the fifth eighth seed to knock off the top seed since the 16 playoff team format was initiated in 1984.

Charlie Sheen Celebrates His 47th Birthday
Tara Dodrill
Charlie Sheen may be "winning" after all; the Anger Management star reached his 47th birthday on Monday. The enigmatic actor may be as well-known for his off-screen antics as he is for his popular television shows and movies, but, all-in-all, 2012 has been a pretty good year for Sheen. The FX network recently decided to order at least 90 more episodes of the baseball player turned psychologist comedy, Too Fab reports. The man portraying the show's main character has managed to remain out of jail and rehab since filming started, a task not everyone thought the former Two and a Half Men lead could manage.
In addition to the success of the Anger Management series, Charlie Sheen also snagged roles in Scary Movie 5 and Machete Kills this year. The craziness which led up to the Major League actor's 47th birthday appears to have subsided. Although the references to "tiger blood" and photos with his "goddesses" have not faded from memory, the alleged out-of-control behavior appears to have taken a backseat to professional endeavors.
The Wall Street actor will likely never be known as a choir boy, but he does deserve credit for never attempting to make excuses about his wild parting days. In this era of celebrity or politician denials when unflattering tidbits are unearthed, it is a bit refreshing to hear someone admit to their own flaws.
In honor of the 47-year milestone, some of the best Charlie Sheen quotes of all time:
"Look what I'm dealing with man, I'm dealing with fools and trolls."
"I will not believe that if I do something then I have to follow a certain path because it was written for normal people, people who aren't special, people who don't have tiger blood and Adonis DNA."
"I have one speed. One gear. Go. I dare you to keep up with me."
"I get in trouble for being honest. I'm extremely old-fashioned."

Q: Repeat n times with C++ ranges without dummy variable I am trying to implement repeat n times using C++20 ranges.
It works, but all approaches I can think of need a dummy variable (one for the for loop variable, other for arity of lambda).
static constexpr int kIterations = 3;

void f1(){
    auto c = '.';
    for (const auto _ :std::views::iota(0)| std::views::take(kIterations) ) {
        std::cout << c;
    }
    std::cout << std::endl;
}

void f2(){
    auto c = '.';
    std::ranges::for_each(std::views::iota(0)| std::views::take(kIterations), [&c](const auto _) {
        std::cout << c;
    });
    std::cout << std::endl;
}

Is there a way to do this with C++20 ranges without the need for dummy variable (_ in my case, but even unnamed requires const? auto).
notes:

*

*I know I can use C for loop, I am interested in doing this in C++20 ranges way.

*I guess I can implement this in an algorithm myself, but I wonder if I can do it "inline" without me implementing repeat_n

*I know iota has version that takes 2 integers, it might be more readable, but still does not fix the problem with dummy variables.

*logic is simplified, just to show capture

A: A range is a means of iterating over a set of values. You can manufacture those values on demand rather than accessing them from storage, as iota does. But ranges are about iterating over a sequence of values.
So any range-based iteration mechanism is going to involve an object representing, at least, the current position in the range. That's just the nature of the beast.
Yes, you could write your own version of ranges::for_each which "iterates" over a range but doesn't actually pass those values to the functor:
template<std::ranges::input_range Rng, std::invocable Func>
decltype(auto) iterate_no_element(Rng &&rng, Func func)
{
  return std::ranges::for_each(std::forward<Rng>(rng), [func](auto const&){func();})
}

But the standard has no such function.

A: If you could use both C++20 <ranges> and repeat_n from Range-v3, then this could be an approach?
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/hof/lift.hpp>
#include <range/v3/view/repeat_n.hpp>
#include <ranges>

using ranges::views::repeat_n;
using namespace std::ranges::views;
using namespace std::ranges;

auto constexpr invoke = BOOST_HOF_LIFT(std::invoke); // what a pity we need this

static constexpr int kIterations = 3;

void f() {
    char c = '.';
    for_each(repeat_n([c]{ std::cout << c << std::endl; },
                      kIterations),
             invoke);
}

int main()
{
    f();
}

The lambda [c]{ std::cout << c << std::endl; } is nullary as it isn't passed any value, and there's no for loop with a dummy variable.

In her new position, Dr. Achenbach will be responsible for increasing awareness of VTI's portfolio of products and developing programs that help VTI better support independent ECPs to help them improve their businesses and clinical practices. She will also be working with leading ECPs in the United States and globally to expand participation in research studies and leading efforts to publish findings in key journals.
"Dr. Achenbach's impressive resume and career history highlight our goal to seek out leaders in our industry to help us tell our story and better engage ECPs," said Visioneering CEO Stephen Snowdy, Ph.D. "We are pleased to have her join our team and look forward to the many contributions she will make to our organization as we seek to broaden our profile nationally and internationally."
Achenbach's professional career includes 16 years of private practice specializing in contact lenses and low vision. Additionally, she has been involved in research and drug development in oncology, HIV, dermatology and nutritional supplements as a co-founder of a biotech company. She is a member of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), the British Contact Lens Association (BCLA), International Association of Contact Lens Educators (IACLE), the American Optometric Association (AOA) and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO). She obtained her undergraduate degree in Aeronautics from the University of North Dakota and her degree in Optometry from Pacific University College of Optometry.
"After nearly two decades in this industry, the innovations developed continue to amaze me," said Achenbach. "VTI is an example of the kind of organization dedicated to bringing products to the global marketplace to improve vision for patients of all ages. I look forward to working with my peers to help them better understand the exciting and promising products offered by VTI."
Visioneering Technologies Inc. designs, manufactures, sells, and distributes a new contact lens: the NaturalVue Multifocal (MF) contact lens. The NaturalVue MF contact lens employs VTI's Neurofocus Optics technology, which was developed, refined and tested over many years. The characteristics of the NaturalVue MF contact lens allow it to be used in two of the largest eye-care markets globally: adults with presbyopia (age-related difficulty in seeing close objects) and children with myopia (near-sightedness, or difficulty seeing distant objects).
NaturalVue lenses were cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in late 2014 and received the CE Mark, as well as TGA approval in early 2018. VTI recently commenced its U.S. market expansion for NaturalVue MF contact lenses, and has broadened its reach into international markets in 2018. VTI also sells and plans additional contact lens products.

Hello, first post. I was googling to find somewhere to talk about this and thought a forum might help me decide what to do. So, I have been depressed recently, follow the same pattern every day getting up, going to work, walk the dog (best part of the day), eat dinner, go to bed late. Anyway while walking my dog, I was having a conversation in my head about the current state of my affairs and how to get out of my depression, I'm definitely a manic personality as about every week or two bouncing from happiness with lots of energy to crippling depression. Anyway I was conversing in my head about how I need to start working on my programming projects again and the voice in my head, my consciousness I guess, like it has the voice as me out of the blue said "Jesus ****ing Christ, You really are a ****ing moron, aren't you?" It was as if I was talking to another person in real life. I don't know, just a very weird experience. I didn't fully comprehended what had happened and was wondering if I should do something about this or tips or something?
I am no expert, but my guess is that being self-critical is a very common experience. I have certainly experienced it more than a few times!
Here is a link to an article that you might find helpful.
Hi, try to push those voices out of your head. Whatever that is, it isn't friendly.


At their October 10, 2014, meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, the College of Bishops of the Anglican Church in North America received the Rt. Rev. Dr. Peter Beckwith. Bishop Beckwith has served throughout the Midwest, most notably leading the Episcopal Diocese of Springfield from 1992 to 2010. Currently, Bishop Beckwith is a chaplain at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan and will serve the Diocese of the Great Lakes as an assisting Bishop.


National Portrait Gallery is one of Washington, D.C.'s best.
The Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
The National Portrait Gallery sounds like the least of Washington, D.C.'s offerings. You might think: a bunch of oil-painted headshots of some glum people who never smile because they have bad teeth. Oh look, it's Cassius P. Brandograst, Deputy Postmaster General in 1827. Can't get that back home.
That's what you might think — and you'd be wrong.
The Portrait Gallery might be the capital's most surprising museum. Diverse, brilliantly curated, with an added bonus of some remarkable architecture that most visitors never see.
You can't blame the visitors for passing it up. The big-name museums of Washington get all the business, because they're spectacular family-friendly theme parks like the Air and Space and Natural History museums. The Holocaust Memorial and African American History museums provide somber history lessons no one should ignore. For a binge-'til-you-sag tour of the wonders of Western Civilization, there is the National Gallery of Art. Whatever you choose, you'll run out of day before you run out of things to see.
But what if you're not in the mood for something huge? That's where the fourth type shines. The Folger Shakespeare Library, the Hirshhorn, the Phillips Collection, the Hillyer Art Space — and the Portrait Gallery.
There might be a pedant who hears you say "I went to the Portrait Gallery" and replies "actually, it's the Patent Office Building, and it houses the Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum." This person is very dull and can be ignored.
Rather than cite a few notable pieces, it's best to just say what you can expect: everything.
Outsider art, such as a huge altar made from light bulbs and aluminum foil by a janitor in his garage? Yes. Gorgeous and heartbreaking 19th-century sculpture by American masters? Yes. Little-known early-20th-century representational art from painters making a new pictorial style? Yes. Immense and captivating video installations, Depression-era urban landscapes. A few examples of tiresome modern art; photographs from the collection of Mathew Brady and Irving Penn.
And portraits! Presidents galore. Nixon, looking like he's trying to humor some rich donor describing an acid trip; stolid Coolidge, haughty Wilson, the floral exuberance of the new Obama portrait.
You can do it in a couple of hours tops, and you'll see things you might walk by in a big museum because there's a famous painting you feel obligated to observe.
The art is only part of the appeal. The building itself is a history lesson. Construction began in 1836, and continued for 31 years. It would have taken less time to haul a block-wide hunk of granite to the site and whittle it down. One of the few Greek Revival buildings in town, it presented a sober retort to the opulence of the Roman styles the politicians liked. A serious building for the serious matter ... of patent models.
The building has been restored to pristine condition, after years of work and almost a third of a billion dollars. You won't find a more unique space than the Model Hall, a riot of colored tile and Industrial Age design, a place of grace, beauty and confidence.
Naturally, someone wanted to tear it down.
In 1952 local businesses wanted a parking ramp, and petitioned some pliable agencies and politicians to get a bill authorizing the building's destruction. It didn't pass. The man who sponsored the bill probably has his portrait on file somewhere in the basement; it doesn't seem to be on display.
Perhaps it is, somewhere. The public can't use staff bathrooms, so it's difficult to know.
The National Portrait Gallery, one of Washington, D.C.'s many Smithsonian museums, has free admission. It is at 8th and F streets NW. (npg.si.edu).

Q: Chart.js Tooltip Information So I'm using Chart.js for results to a competition of sorts and in the tooltip, it only shows the number though I want to show a little more information right next to it.
For example, where it says "1234567", I want it to say "1234567 - 6 champs".
I was looking through the actual Chart.js file to add some code into but could find where I would add it. Because you add data like data: [0, 10, 55, 1000, 444401] and so on, I was thinking of adding a feature so you could add a string to each item in the array so something along the lines of the below:
data: [[0, "0 champs"],
    [10, "3 champs"],
    [55, "3 champs"],
    [1000, "4 champs"],
    [444401, "9 champs"]]

I don't care if it's like that exactly though is there a way I can add a string to go along with a value whether it's me adding code or not?

A: You can set the label within the chart options as detailed in the documentation, for example:
tooltipTemplate: "<%if (label){%><%=label%> <%}%>(<%= value %> champs)"

Hope that helps! :)

Is X-Files illness a reality?
EXTRACT: ...at the State University of New York, Vitaly Citovsky, professor of biochemistry and cell biology, found that the lesions of Morgellons patients test positively for the presence of agrobacterium, a bacterium used in the commercial production of genetically modified food - but not normally found in skin sores.
It feels like insects crawling under your skin, but is this X-Files illness a reality?
Evening Standard (This is London), 18.09.07
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23412621-details/It%20feels%20like%20insects%20crawling%20under%20your%20skin,%20but%20is%20this%20X-Files%20illness%20a%20reality/article.do
The symptoms sound like something from The X Files - sufferers complain of a crawling sensation all over the body, egg-like lumps under the skin and, even more bizarrely, cuts which produce tiny red and blue fibres.
Many doctors, however, are highly sceptical - dismissing the symptoms as imaginary and patients as delusional.
But a growing number of experts believe the symptoms are genuine, and the U.S. government's Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating the condition - Morgellons disease - as reported in the New Scientist.
This belated recognition comes as a great relief to the many thousands of sufferers, such as Beverley Warren, who have struggled for years with this debilitating condition.
"It feels like tiny insects crawling or biting under my skin," says Beverley, 63, from Manchester.
As a result she hardly sleeps at night, constantly woken by the intense itching on her arms.
"I scratch and scratch, but it doesn't help. I've suffered hundreds of nights like this. Sometimes I just lie awake, crying."
Beverley's arms are covered with dozens of sores. Some have tiny, white, egg-like lumps on them, just under the skin surface.
More bizarrely, when Beverley scratches her arms, small black specks, which look like tiny grains of pepper, appear from under the surface of the skin.
The problem appeared 11 years ago.
Doctors and dermatologists have been unable to give her a diagnosis, and two skin biopsies have provided no answer.
At the suggestion of a dermatologist, Beverley applies creams to try to soothe the itching and then bandages her arms for two days to protect the area.
Unfortunately, this hasn't helped.
"The only thing that provides relief is when I put ice on my arms," she says.
Then in April, Beverley discovered that she was not the only person with the problem.
After typing 'itching on the arms' into an internet search engine, she came across a website for Morgellons disease.
"My husband looked at the screen and said: 'My God, those are all the symptoms you've described.'"
Incredibly, more than 10,000 people worldwide had registered on the website claiming they suffered, too.
But in addition to Beverley's symptoms, many complained of something even stranger: tiny fibres, of various colours, growing out of their skin.
One of them is Rita, who lives in Somerset.
She says: "The fibres are 1mm or 2mm long and are either pinky red, blue, brown, black or transparent. They look like little hairs and most grow out of the lesions on my arms, legs and torso."
Four years ago, Rita, 47, started being affected by what many sufferers describe as brain fog.
"My thinking became cloudy and forgetful," she explains. "I jumble up my words and sometimes, if someone is talking to me, I can't understand what they are saying so I have to ask them to repeat themselves."
The condition forced Rita to give up her career as a legal secretary.
"The doctors are very dismissive. One doctor sent the fibres off to a lab, but all she said was that nothing abnormal had been detected." Among Morgellons sufferers, this is a common experience.
The disease was named in 2002 by an American mother, Mary Leitao, whose two-year- old son one day pointed to his lip and said 'bugs'.
Mary was alarmed to find fibres growing there, but soon became frustrated that no doctor would investigate her son's condition.
She began researching it for herself, and came across a 17th-century article which described a condition, 'The Morgellons', where unusual hairs would grow out of the skin.
In the U.S., where the majority of cases are found, the number of people claiming to have the same symptoms - and the absence of a medical explanation - led to last month's launch of the government's CDC investigation, involving a team of specialists in epidemiology, environmental health, dermatology, chronic diseases, infectious diseases, pathology and mental health.
However, most experts believe the condition is a psychological disorder called delusional parasitosis.
Sufferers convince themselves the crawling sensations and fibres are evidence of an infection by a parasite.
"The brain tells them something is crawling on or under their skin," says
Professor Lynn Kimsey, an expert on insects and disease at the University of California.
"The human brain is wired to make connections between events, but we don't always draw the right conclusions. Only in a small proportion of cases do real parasites - such as mites - cause this type of thing."
Instead, Prof Kimsey says, the skin sensations are likely to be the result of changes in brain and nerve chemistry, commonly triggered by drug or alcohol abuse or hormonal changes such as the menopause.
The patients constantly scratch their skin - a process called neurotic excoriation - creating sores that never get the chance to heal.
As Professor Noah Scheinfeld, a dermatologist at Columbia University in the U.S., explains: "The skin becomes a sink for nervous energy and the slightest sensation can lead people to itch."
Even the fibres have a simple explanation: "They inevitably turn out to be lint from clothes, household fibres or hair," Kimsey says.
"Sores and scabs attract and trap these fibres."
The sceptics say Morgellons is best treated with dermatological creams for the sores - and possibly anti-psychotic drugs in severe cases.
But a handful of experts have found evidence that seems to contradict conventional explanations.
Randy Wymore, assistant professor of pharmacology at Oklahoma State University, stumbled across the Morgellons website and, surprised by the number of people claiming to be affected, offered to test some of the fibres at his lab.
"I thought it would be easy to determine their origin," he says.
But contrary to his expectations, the fibres did not match any common environmental ones.
So Wymore invited some Morgellons patients in to be examined by a colleague, Rhonda Casey.
She found that even under unbroken skin there were masses of fibres.
After extensive tests, scientists including a police forensics team drew a blank as to their origin, despite comparing them to more than 90,000 organic compounds.
Meanwhile, at the State University of New York, Vitaly Citovsky, professor of biochemistry and cell biology, found that the lesions of Morgellons patients test positively for the presence of agrobacterium, a bacterium used in the commercial production of genetically modified food - but not normally found in skin sores.
Psychiatrist Robert Bransfield has studied a database of 3,000 Morgellons patients and argues that the psychological profile of Morgellons patients does not fit with a diagnosis of delusional parasitosis.
"Before the onset of their illness, their mental status appears to be quite representative of the general population," says Bransfield.
"Later on they may become paranoid and delusional; but they don't start out that way."
Immunopsychology experts such as Bransfield are discovering that the body's own immune reaction to invasion by a parasite can significantly affect levels of brain chemicals, such as serotonin.
In other illnesses, such as hepatitis C, this can result in altered psychological states and mental symptoms.
Morgellons could work this way, too, Bransfield suggests.
Some test results have led researchers to speculate that Morgellons may be caused by an unusual fungal parasite.
For Beverley, the new investigation cannot come soon enough.
"I'm not delusional," she says. "I just want to find out what is happening to my body."

The Further Adventures of… & Adam and Eva
By Willie Keaton	// Theatre	(New York)
Growing up in the '70s, I, like most kids, had my addictive television programs – Lost in Space and Star Trek among them – which made it very easy to relate to Maggie Day, the perky narrator of The Further Adventures of … as she illustrates the time she spent watching her favorite childhood program: Atlantis: 1 Million Years B.C. What makes her recollections even more of a joy are the spirited re-creations of the fictional program's cheesy action scenes, gamely performed by Tim Burke and Mark Finley as, respectively, Prince Kal and Commander Zoron, the show's two main characters. But as fun as these scenes are to watch, what makes Further Adventures such a gem are the offstage stories that the playwright, Kathleen Warnock, spins about the make-believe actors who portrayed these characters and how their lives took such diametrically opposite and, in the case of one, unfortunate paths once Atlantis hit the cancellation heap.
Plays that rely on recall as a storytelling device do so with varying degrees of success (the flat revival of Harold Pinter's Old Times on Broadway being a recent example), but Ms. Warnock employs it well here. Maggie's fond memories not only take us back to a time when the world seemed safe and clean, we also can't forget it was during this same period that a generation of those deemed to be "different" were forced into a closet of darkness and shame. As it happens, the "different" categorization applied to Maggie: watching Atlantis helped her comprehend her attraction to girls. While mimicking Zoron and Kal's action scenes with her best friend, Sandy, she realizes that imaginary adventures on a faraway planet can't compare with the real rush one gets from fooling around on the playground – the first step of her transition into a healthy, married adult lesbian who later recounts this discovery in her book while looking back on the series.
While writing her book, Maggie discovers new insight into the actors who inhabited the show's leading roles, Drake Darling (love that name) as Commander Zoron and Frank Gallagher as Prince Kal. Like many actors left to pick up the shards of their careers after toiling on children's shows, Drake's and Frank's lives disperse down separate tracks, with one creating a new life far from the anxieties of Hollywood and the other assuming a more tragic route after he discovered that the industry had no use for him in a post-Atlantis world.* Maggie's research is greatly aided by Jacob Finberg, the one-time executive producer of Atlantis, who breaks down the fantasy world of the series and reveals all of the good and bad things that went on while Atlantis was in production and after it ended. Dismayed by her discoveries, Maggie envisions the perfect ending to the series in which Kal and Zoron finally release the beast that had been scratching up from beneath the surface of their pseudo-sexual relationship in episode after breathtaking episode. It's a nice, and very sweet, moment.
As Maggie, Jamie Heinlein is pure charm and her infectious nature makes you feel like you, too, would have loved Atlantis had it been a real series. Mr. Burke and Mr. Finley weave in and out of their TV show characters and into the actors who play them flawlessly, particularly Mr. Finley, who does triple-duty as Zoron, Darling, and the affable Mr. Finberg. In real life he is also artistic director of TOSOS, the theater company presenting Further Adventures, and he should be very proud of this fine production.
The one-act that follows, Adam and Eva, written and performed by Jack McMahon and Yasmin Zadeh, concerns two teenagers with interesting life goals: he wants to be a nun and she wants to be a boy. Unable to connect with other kids in school, Adam and Eva each take to the Internet one night and, encountering one another online, form a bond, confess their innermost secrets (both self-identify as bisexual) and decide they can more easily conquer the world as a team. Meeting up and using fake IDs to gain access into a gay club, Adam and Eva are having the time of their lives, meeting other people to whom they can relate, and realizing that, yes, things do get way better. For each it's truly a night to remember. What happens next, however, is both sadly predictable and painfully realistic. McMahon and Zadeh are magnetic performers who work their yin and yang like old pros, knowing where the play works best (the Internet exchanges are priceless) and kicking it into overdrive to cover a few of the slower moments (though there aren't many of those). If you're into fresh voices with something to say, Adam & Eva will hit you right where you live.
The Further Adventures of … and Adam & Eva were performed at The West End Theater at the Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew, 263 West 86th Street in Manhattan. This production is now closed.
*One can't help, of course, but think of George Reeves, whose life came to a similar ruinous end following his work as the titular hero of TV's Adventures of Superman back in the 1950s.

The Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle (SCAR) is a gas-operated (short-stroke gas piston) self-loading rifle with a rotating bolt and a firing rate of 625 rounds/min. It is constructed to be extremely modular, including barrel change to switch between calibers. The rifle was developed by FN Herstal (FNH) for the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to satisfy the requirements of the SCAR competition. This family of rifles consist of two main types. The SCAR-L, for "light", is chambered in the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge and the SCAR-H, for "heavy", fires 7.62×51mm NATO. Both are available in Long Barrel and Close Quarters Combat variants.
The FN SCAR systems completed low rate initial production testing in June 2007.After some delays, the first rifles began being issued to operational units in April 2009, and a battalion of the US 75th Ranger Regiment was the first large unit deployed into combat with 600 of the rifles in 2009. The US Special Operations Command later cancelled their purchase of the Mark 16 (or MK 16) SCAR-L and planned to remove the rifle from their inventory by 2013. However, they will continue to purchase the Mk 17 SCAR-H version, and also plan to purchase 5.56 mm conversion kits for the Mk 17, supplanting the loss of the Mk 16.

Jenni is also Chair of the Ambassadors Council of the National Eating Disorders Association and an accomplished singer/songwriter living in Austin, Texas.
Suzu: Thank you for today. I'm from Japan. I had have eating disorder for six and a half years before, but now I am completely recovered. In Japan, we have a number of people who are suffering from eating disorders. I interview with people who are recovered from eating disorders and write how they are recovered in my blog. Today, I want you to share your story of recovering from eating disorders, and I think it will be definitely helpful for people who are suffering from them right now.
Jenni: Thank you for today. I'd love to share my story.
Suzu: Let's get started. When did your eating disorder begin?
Jenni: At the young age of four-years-old, I heard a voice in my head that said, "You are fat. You aren't good enough." That voice was my eating disorder (aka "Ed"). Not until I was 22-years-old did I learn that I didn't have to listen to Ed anymore. My eating disorder began as negative body image thoughts. This led to restricting, which eventually led to the binge/purge cycle.
Suzu: What was the cause of your eating disorder?
Jenni: An eating disorder is like a complicate jigsaw puzzle. Eating disorders are biopsychosocial illnesses. Some researchers say, "Genetics loads the gun, and the environment pulls the trigger." I believe this was true for me. I was born with traits like perfectionism that contributed to the development of my eating disorder. Living in a culture that glorifies the thin ideal also contributed.
Suzu: How did your disease develop?
Jenni: Eating disorders can thrive in secrecy and isolation. At first, I hid my struggles from everyone. I was so ashamed to be struggling with food in this way. Ultimately, I broke through the isolation and told my family that I needed help. Then, I told my friends. In the end, I realized that an eating disorder is a real, life-threatening illness. There is nothing to be ashamed about. Similar to cancer, people don't choose eating disorders. But, they do choose to get better.
Suzu: What was the turning point of recovery? How did you get recovered?
Jenni: In early recovery, my motivation to get better was based more out of a desire to move away from pain. (An eating disorder is tortuous.) Later in my recovery, I began focusing more on what I was moving toward in life and less on what I was moving away from. We recover from our eating disorders in order to recover our lives. At Eating Recovery Center, we work with our patients to connect with their authentic values. Often, our values can guide us toward meaningful motivation.
Suzu: You called eating disorder "Ed" and your perfectionist "Ms. Perfectionist" as if they were human beings. Why did you start calling them? What was the positive effects of giving them such names?
Jenni: In therapy, I learned to treat my eating disorder like a relationship—rather than an illness or a condition. I actually named my eating disorder, "Ed," which is obviously an acronym. Ed was like an abusive boyfriend or husband. I hated him, but, for so long, I could not leave. This method of personifying Ed helped me to view my eating disorder as separate from myself. I could finally talk back to Ed and make room for my own thoughts and opinions. By connecting with my true self in this way, I gained some hope that I could recover. I have heard that the metaphor of Ed helps many people to feel this same hope. For that, I am deeply grateful. Finally, by using the metaphor, my friends and family began to see my eating disorder as separate from me as well. We could all fight against Ed and for me. This felt good.
Jenni: I know. I won't eat dinner.
Jenni: You are wrong. I should eat dinner, but I can't.
Jenni: You are wrong. I should eat dinner, and I will.
Ms. Perfectionist:You can't go to that party tonight.
Jenni: Why not? All of my friends will be there, and I really want to go.
Ms. Perfectionist:You can't go, because you binged today. You were not perfect today, and you don't deserve to go. And besides, you look too fat.
Jenni: You are right. I don't deserve to go, and I am fat.
Jenni: I am going to the party. All of my friends will be there, and I really want to go.
Jenni: I did binge today, but that doesn't mean I need to deprive myself of fun tonight. And I'm not fat.
Suzu: Perfectionism trait is considered as one of the main factors of eating disorders. How did you deal with your perfectionism in your recovery?
Jenni: I was not born with an eating disorder, but I was born with the perfectionism trait. Constantly striving to be perfect certainly made me more vulnerable to having an eating disorder. So did other genetic traits like high anxiety and obsessive-compulsiveness. However, when channeled in a positive direction, these traits played a crucial role in my recovery. I was able to refine perfectionism, for instance, and apply it to things like attending doctors' appointments and finishing therapy assignments. When taken to the light, our genetic traits absolutely support recovery.
Suzu: I think there were times you were about to be discouraged and give up getting recovered. How did you keep you motivated for recovery?
Jenni: Gratefully, I had mentors and a treatment team. My family and others were my support system. When I fell down, which happened a lot, they helped to pull me back up again. We all need support and connection to get better.
Suzu: When did you think you were recovered from eating disorders?
Jenni: I fully recovered from Ed sometime in my early thirties!
Suzu: How do you describe yourself after you recovered from eating disorders?
Jenni: I often say I am recovered from my Ed, but not from life. Today, life is real. Life is fun and joyful. But, life can be tough, too. Recovery taught me resilience! I have learned gratitude. Recovery taught me the importance of family and friends….of having fun!
Suzu: What do you eat every day?
Suzu: Do you work out?
Jenni: Similar to eating, I learned how to exercise intuitively. I listen to my body to determine if I want to go for a walk, ride my bike, or just lay on the couch and rest!
Suzu: What do you think about your body and yourself?
Jenni: Thanks to recovery, I learned to love my body and myself! Today, my goal is perfectly imperfect!
Suzu: Now you engage in eating disorder enlightenment activities. Why did you decided to do those activities?
Jenni: I wanted to share my experience, strength, and hope with others. An eating disorder is so painful. I don't want others to suffer for as long as I did.
Suzu: You wrote some books about your experience, and one of your books is published in Japanese (https://www.jennischaefer.com/books/life-without-ed-jp/). Also, you released the song in Japanese (https://www.jennischaefer.com/life-without-ed-jp/). What kind of thoughts and messages did you put into the book and song?
Jenni: My main message is one of hope: people can and do fully recover from eating disorders. Achieving a full recovery IS possible!
Suzu: Could you give your message to those who are suffering from eating disorders.
Jenni: Never give up! My favorite quote is a Japanese proverb, Fall down seven times, stand up eight.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I really appreciate it!
I hope everyone can be recovered from eating disorders as soon as possible. I'm sure your story will encourage people who are suffering from eating disorders. Thank you so much!

Idaho murders: Investigators work through Thanksgiving Day as college town shuts down
Criminal defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh unpacks the investigation in the murder of four University of Idaho students over ten days after the killings.
MOSCOW, Idaho – Eleven days after the of four University of , Moscow had become a ghost town.
It was a somber Thanksgiving Day, with nearly every business on Main Street closed — except the gym. Many students had gone home to spend the holiday with family, or to distance themselves from the shocking unsolved slayings.
Outside Mad Greek, a makeshift memorial honors the victims. It's one of several that have cropped up around town and on campus.
Two of the victims, Madison Mogen, 21, and Xana Kernodle, 20, worked there. In the window is a flyer asking the public for tips.

"I don't know what to say other than you were amazing individuals who didn't deserve this," a note read.
The two women, along with Ethan Chapin, 20, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were stabbed to death in their sleep on Nov. 13 between 3 and 4 a.m. in a rental house where the three young women lived with two other roommates who were not harmed. Chapin was Kernodle's boyfriend and stayed over that night.
WATCH: FBI personnel arrive at the Idaho command center on Thanksgiving:

But investigators were seen working through the holiday, getting a late morning start.
FBI personnel and uniformed officers came and went. A man in plainclothes briefly came out front, said police headquarters was "packed" inside, and returned through the locked front doors.

Two people arrived to drop off boxes of donuts, and at one point a truck arrived to put fuel in the mobile command center, which was stationed in the gated parking lot behind the police station at the start of the day.
WATCH: Moscow police deliver an update:
Moscow Police Chief James Fry did not immediately respond to questions about Thanksgiving staffing, but at a news briefing Wednesday, authorities said they planned to keep the investigation running through the holiday.

Aaron Snell, the communications director for , told Fox News Digital Thursday that investigators would be working around the clock and Thanksgiving and through the holiday weekend.
"We have numerous detectives that continue working, FBI agents that continue working," he said. "They will work through this holiday and through the weekend."
Outside the victims' home just off campus, Latah County sheriff's deputies stood guard. Behind them, pink tape sealed the front door, marked off and time-stamped for each investigator who had gone inside.

And investigators have their work cut out for them. A classmate told Fox News Digital Wednesday that the victims lived in a known "party house," where dozens of friends could have passed through in the days before the murder, complicating the collection of DNA evidence at the scene.

"They could have had a party last week between 40, 50 people, so hair evidence, all that stuff becomes very suspect," Joseph Giacalone, an adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York and , told Fox News Digital. "Because of the dynamics of what you're dealing with here, you have to rely on phone records, internet records and surveillance video to try to piece this thing together."
Police have not publicly identified any suspects or persons of interest.
But they have ruled out the two female roommates who were downstairs at the time of the murders, a man who appeared on surveillance video at a food truck at the same time as Goncalves and Mogen shortly before they returned home, a "private party" driver who took them to the house, Goncalves' ex-boyfriend and a group of friends who were present at the house Sunday morning when the initial 911 call was placed.

Police said Wednesday they'd taken 4,000 photographs and collected 103 "pieces of evidence."
They also said detectives seized the contents of three dumpsters on King Road as part of the investigation.
They are asking for anyone with surveillance images in the surrounding area to turn them over.

They have not recovered the murder weapon and have been unable to confirm reports that Goncalves had a stalker before the attack.
"Kaylee mentioned having a stalker, but detectives have been unable to corroborate the statement," police said in a statement. "Investigators are requesting anyone with information about a potential stalker, or unusual instances, to contact the tip line."
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the tip line at or email .

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Philadelphia Eagles have signed interior-defensive lineman Tim Jernigan to a $48M extension, which will keep him under contract until 2021.
The Eagles acquired Jernigan via a trade with the Baltimore Ravens in the offseason, and he's been a vital part of the team's front seven so far this year. Through the team's first nine games, he's played 52.2 percent of his team's defensive snaps and his current overall grade of 86.2 ranks 16th among 118 qualifying interior-linemen.
Jernigan has made a name for himself against the run over the last few seasons. In 2016, he ended the campaign ranked first among all 3-4 defensive ends with a run stop percentage of 10.8 percent, and this year, his run stop percentage of 7.9 percent ranks 24th among defensive tackles. While there is a slight drop off in numbers from a season ago, he's still graded well in run defense, and has attained a run defense grade of 86.5, good for 13th among players at the position.
Jernigan has also been productive in the pass-rush. Over the last nine games he's played a total of 196 pass-rush snaps and produced two sacks, five hits and 10 hurries, resulting in a pass-rush productivity of 6.8, good for 16th among defensive tackles.

Back Studying


The Strong National Museum of Play on Thursday inducted six additional games into the World Video Game Hall of Fame. Multiple titles that got snubbed in 2015's inaugural class made it in this year.
The six titles inducted in 2016 include Grand Theft Auto III, The Oregon Trail, The Sims, Sonic the Hedgehog, Space Invaders and my personal favorite game of all-time, The Legend of Zelda. The newcomers join Doom, Pac-Man, Pong, Super Mario Bros., World of Warcraft and Tetris from last year's class.
Despite spanning multiple decades, countries of origins and gaming platforms, all of these games have significantly affected the video game industry, pop culture and society in general, the Strong Museum said in a press release.
The second class was selected from a field of 15 finalists that included Final Fantasy, Elite, John Madden Football, Minecraft, Nürburgring, Pokémon Red and Green, Sid Meier's Civilization, Street Fighter II and Tomb Raider. I wouldn't be surprised to see at least a few of these make it onto next year's ballot and ultimately into the third class.
Inductees are on permanent display at the museum's second floor in Rochester, New York.
The museum notes that anyone may nominate a game to its Hall of Fame and that final selections are made on the advice of journalists, scholars and other individuals familiar with the history of video games and their role in society.
Are there any glaring mistakes the museum made with this year's class? Which games do you believe should be inducted next year?


Excellent work, the job was nicely done and before the time they posted. Excellent response and communication, always asking what I needed or wanted. Friendly and very cooperative with all the requirements, excellent pricing. Surely will be working again with them.

Visit the Liberty Bell
A symbol of freedom, the famed Liberty Bell is synonymous with Philadelphia. The cracked bell is free to visit year-round and is found inside the Liberty Bell Center, which sits just across Chestnut Street from its former home at Independence Hall. Inside the Center, you'll find exhibits highlighting the bell's history, as well as written information available in a dozen languages. Learn more about visiting the Liberty Bell here.
A post shared by PHLCVB (@discover_phl)
Tour Independence Hall
Transport yourself back to 1776 with a tour of Independence Hall and step foot into the Assembly Room, where the Founding Fathers debated, adopted, and signed the Declaration of Independence and later the U.S. Constitution. The tour reveals interesting details about the building's history and architecture, as well as insightful tales about the Framers of the nation shared by national park rangers, as highlighted by travel guide Frommer's. To learn how to visit, click here. For more historic experiences, click here.
Run the Rocky Steps
As made famous by an inspirational training montage in the 1976 film, Rocky, the 72 steps that lead to the eastern entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art are now at the top of anyone's Philadelphia to-do list. Thousands of visitors flock to the steps each day to race their way to the top and strike their best "Rocky pose " at the spot where he stood – arms held high with the city skyline serving as the ultimate backdrop.
TIP: Don't forget to snap a photo with Rocky's statue at the base of the steps before you leave, and don't miss the many other iconic filming locations around the city.

Walk through the Italian Market
You'll find the nation's oldest open-air marketplace, the Italian Market, along 9th Street in South Philadelphia. Another location for Rocky's training run, the market is home to dozens of produce vendors, butchers, cheese connoisseurs, and restaurants. The cuisine offered throughout the Market extends far beyond what its name implies, with Asian and Latin American menus becoming more prevalent as the cultural identity of the surrounding neighborhood continues to change.
Snap a selfie at LOVE Park
Installed in John F. Kennedy Plaza – now affectionately referred to as LOVE Park – for the nation's Bicentennial celebration in 1976, Robert Indiana's now-iconic LOVE sculpture is arguably one of Philadelphia's most photo-worthy pieces of public art. Visitors and locals alike can be seen posing for a photo in front of the artwork, which marks the beginning of Philadelphia's Museum Mile, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The park is also home to various pop-up events throughout the year, including the popular Christmas Village each holiday season.

Explore the museums along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway
Known as Philadelphia's Museum Mile, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway is home to many of the city's most coveted institutions. It is here that you can study science at The Franklin Institute or learn about dinosaurs and natural history at the Academy of Natural Sciences – the first natural sciences institution in the Americas. There is also the Barnes Foundation – home to the world's greatest collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Early Modernist paintings – and the Rodin Museum, featuring one of the largest collections of Auguste Rodin's work outside of Paris. Capping the western end of the Parkway is the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art, whose 200 galleries are filled with artwork from around the world spanning 2,000 years. Learn more about the Benjamin Franklin Parkway here.
Sink your teeth into a true Philadelphia cheesesteak
Philadelphia is a renowned food town, with award-winning chefs and restaurants found in nearly every neighborhood throughout the city, but one dish is consistently at the top of every visitor's must-try list: the cheesesteak. Though popular shops like Pat's King of Steaks, Geno's Steaks, and Jim's on South Street draw long lines and international attention, local favorites are also worth exploring, such as Campo's, Dalessandro's, John's Roast Pork, and Angelo's. After choosing your preferred shop and steak sandwich preparation (choose cheese whiz and grilled onions for the "traditional" route), you'll spend hours debating your friends and family on whose cheesesteak was best.
NOTE: Jim's is temporarily closed for renovations and projected to reopen Labor Day weekend 2023.

Satisfy your cravings at the Reading Terminal Market
Opened in 1893, Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market is one of the oldest (and one of the best) farmer's markets in the nation, and is home to nearly 80 vendors inside, including 26 restaurants. The Market's vendors serve a wide range of cuisine, including Caribbean, Cajun, Greek, Japanese, and soul food favorites, as well as local flavors like the cheesesteak, pretzels, hoagies, and more. Not to be missed are the several stalls that specialize in traditional Pennsylvania Dutch recipes – Dutch Eating Place and Beiler's to name just a few.
