Bioresistance, Transversality, and Emancipation Seminar curated by Laura Benítez Valero
Courses and seminarsAll audiences
18 December, 2015 to 19 December, 2015
Live streaming at 6 pm.
One of the key strategies of 'cultural bioresistance practices' is the creation of shared spaces for exchange, which favour the breaking down of barriers of specialisation. This, in turn, entails a commitment to interaction and to generating non-hierarchical relationships between different fields of knowledge. The levelling of hierarchies also applies to the unequal relationship between specialists and amateurs in artistic practices.
Bioresistance consists of disordering phenomena that disrupt mechanisms of alienation which seek to reinforce the status quo, thus blurring the boundaries between compartmentalised knowledge. This activity is based on the non-conception of a specialised field of knowledge defined by exclusive criteria, which disparages interaction with non-experts, because the denial of this interaction simply reaffirms the hierarchy of knowledge and of access to knowledge. Or, as Claire Pentecost puts it, solidifies 'the systematic ignorance, generalized alienation, frustration of individual potential and, in the long term, social damage still difficult to predict.'
The first session of this activity is a seminar that brings together different lines of research and conceptual frameworks in order to explore the potentiality of exchange-based cooperative work for building spaces in which to exploit dialogic potential and address collective practices that can generate interruptions in pre-established imaginaries and reconfigure common spaces.
The second session consists of a workshop based on GYNEpunk: Autonomous ginecologyLAB, a research project that aims to generate DIY-DIT labs for accessible diagnosis and extreme experimentation techniques, and to develop protocols that can be used in both fixed and mobile environments. The idea is to hack and construct our own low-cost ultrasound, endoscopic, and ecographic devices, in an attempt to maximise the potential of shared learning and the radical energy of our own bodies, decolonising the body and exploding its pre-established imaginary.
Seminar curated by Laura Benítez Valero

Ernesto Casero
Ernesto Casero has a BA in Fine Arts from Universitat Politècnica de València. His early work revolved around visual perception and two-dimensional representation, and he now focuses on aspects related to the ideas of authenticity and truth, the history of biology, and the representation of nature from the perspectives of art and science. He studies the similarities and points of friction between artistic and scientific images, and the permeability of artistic media, as the basis for developing an aesthetic discourse on the arbitrariness of the history of science. The parameters of his recent work are strongly influenced by biology, particularly at the points where it touches other disciplines such as sociology, history, and economics. The connections between Darwinism and capitalism are the conceptual framework for his latest project. Casero has exhibited his work in galleries in Mexico, France, and Spain, and has participated in international art fairs in London, Paris, Madrid, and Lisbon.

Antonio Gómez Villar
Antonio Gómez holds a BA in Philosophy and a PhD in Humanities from Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona. He is currently a teacher and researcher at several Spanish and international universities and institutions. His main lines of work revolve around analysing repertories of collective action in social movements from an antagonist perspective, contemporary philosophy in general, and biopolitical debates in particular. He is part of the international network of biopolitics researchers, and a member of the collective Artefakte, a web of complicity that seeks to trigger those small cataclysms of the mind that help to subvert the political and cultural grammar of our time. He is the editor of the book Vidas dañadas. Precariedad y vulnerabilidad en la era de la austeridad (2014) and contributor to diario.es.

Paula Pin
Paula Pin is a transhackfeminist de-former with a strong inclination towards research and experimentation processes that involve collective, free technologies. She currently cohabits and works with Klau Kinki in the transhackfeminst laboratory Pechblenda, where they generate knowledge and technological autonomy. Crossing desires and disciplines they enter fully into the matter of a multiple body, be it organic, artificial, or a fusion of both. Biopunk Biosophy that fractilises into numerous, proliferous research lines and biopolitical practices. The Pechblenda bio-electro-chemical experimental laboratory is a common space for holding rituals and alchemically deriving practical knowledge with the desire to create new hybrid organisms, moments of affinity and quantum dissonance. Techno-witch rituals and acid noise with Transnoise, Quimera Rosa, klau and julito.
Plants, microorganisms, and other sources of alternative energy form a complex mesh of interactions which fuse machines, animal and plant organisms with the cosmos, opening up a transhackfemenist ecology.

And the box of blinky lights has arrived in Manchester for QEDCon
By oracknows on October 13, 2017.
As you probably noticed, I didn't manage a post yesterday. Nor did I manage one today, other than this. That's because I was busy preparing for QEDCon, where I will be on a panel and giving a talk, and, of course, putting together my talk. As I write this, I'm horrendously jet lagged; so I probably couldn't write much that's coherent anyway. Consequently, there likely won't be any new posts until next week.
I will take a moment, however, to mention that there will be significant changes to this blog in the near future. It's a process that will likely take a couple of weeks, and I'll update you as I go along. I've told a handful of my readers what the change will be and why it's necessary, and others might have guessed. Fear not, though. I'll update you as I go along, and all will be clear soon. I've been doing this blog for nearly 13 years. It's such a part of my life that I can't imagine not doing it any more. So I will continue.
Blog housekeeping
QEDCon
No worries, oh glorious box of lights. Times may be tough without our regular fix of Insolence, but I'm sure we'll survive.
I hope you recover from the jetlag soon, those things can be awful. And of course have fun the next few days! :)

The Nobel Prize for Medicine was given to scientists studying circadian rhythms?
In an article from treehugger (October 2017) titled, Nobel Prize for Medicine goes to scientists studying circadian rhythms, author Lloyd Alter writes, "Circadian rhythms have never got the respect they deserve from lighting designers, architects or engineers, often thought of as pseudoscience. But over last few years, they have been getting more attention."

Because the article is written on my main blog, pointed to by this link. I will no longer be writing articles on the Scienceblogs.com blog, just pointers for the next few weeks, then nothing .
So, really, "elsewhere" is not "elswhere" but here, just a slightly different URL. Virtually the same thing!

MJD say,
Unfortunately, I'm not in your inner circle of "readers" but I'm anticipating that the forced changes are:
1) The Orac nym is no longer acceptable;
2) auto-moderation is no longer acceptable;
3) the use of the F-word is no longer acceptable; and
4) based on ambiguity, the word "anti-vaccine" is no longer acceptable language from the moderator.
I'd be thrilled with at least one of these coming to fruition.
Then you will be disappointed.

Turning out the lights and moving on: Goodbye, old ScienceBlogs blog, hello new blog

The last 100 years have brought us from a Universe no bigger than the Milky Way ruled by Newton's gravity to a vast, expanding one with hundreds of billions of galaxies, covered in dark matter, beginning with the big bang, which was likely caused by inflation, and which will end in a freezing cold death as the galaxies accelerate away from one another, off into infinity.

Феликс Хофман (21. јануар 1868. – 8. фебруар 1946) је био немачки хемичар познат по ре-синтисези диаморфина, који је Бајер АГ назвао "хероин". Он је такође заслужан за синтезу аспирина.

Биографија
Феликс Хофман је рођен 21. јануара 1868. у Лудвигсбургу. Био је син индустријалца. Он је 1889. почео да студира хемију на Лудвиг- Макимилианс- Универзитету у Минхену, а завршио је фармацију 1890. Године 1893. је докторирао на Универзитету у Минхену. Он се 1894. године запослио у Бајер АГ као хемичар.

Хофман је 10. августа 1897. године синтизирао ацетилсалицилну киселину (АСП) док је радио у Бајер АГ. Фармацеут задужен за проверу резултата је био скептичан у почетку, мада је након неколико већих тестирања доказано да ова хемикалија помаже у ослобађању бола и упала и смањује температуру. Године 1899. се његова синтеза први пут појавила у продаји под називом називом Аспирин. Он се првобитно појавио као прах у стакленој боци.

Хофман је првобитно тврдио да је проналазач аспирина (а не синтисајзер) у фусноти једне немачке енциклопедије објављене 1934. године. Рекао је да је почео да прави аспирин када се његов отац жалио на горак укус натријум салицилата, јединог лека тада доступног за лечење реуматизма . Овај лек се користио у великим дозама, 6 - 8 грама, и пацијентима је изазивао велику нелагодност и иритацију желуца.

Он је такође одговоран за синтисезу хероина, али није био његов проналазач.

Након синтезе аспирина је пермештен на одељење за фармацеутски маркетинг, где је радио све до пензионисања 1928. године. Добио је пуномоћје над аспирином.

Хофман се никада није женио и умро је 8. фебруара 1946. године у Швајцарској.

Eleanor of Aquitaine, French Royalty, German Royalty, Plantagenets, Portugese Royalty, Romans, The Crusades, The Windsors, War of the Roses
Today in 1307, many members of the Knights Templar order were arrested simultaneously under orders of King Phillip IV, who was ironically, deeply in debt to them. The members, including the Gran Master Jacques de Molay were tortured into confessions heresy, idolatry, homosexuality, and scores of other offenses. They were subsequently burned at the stake. Ironically, today is the birthday of de Molay, who was born in 1244.
In 1911 today, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathern was sworn in as Governor General of Canada by his nephew, King George V. Prince Arthur was the only member of the royal family to serve in this office.
Our first birthday today belongs to Eleanor of England, Queen of Castile and Toledo in 1162. Called Lenora in Spain, she was the second daughter and sixth child of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine.
In 1453 today, we see the birth of Edward of Westminster in London. Edward was the only son of Henry VI of England and Margaret of Anjou. Edwards inheritance to the throne was in question during the War of the Roses and he would perish in the Battle of Tewksbury defending it.
Next in 1499, we see the birth of Claude of France, future Queen as the wife of Francis I. She was the eldest daughter of Louis XII of France and Anne, Duchess of Brittany. Claude became Duchess of Brittany in her own right, but could only be Queen through marriage because of France's Salic law.
Today in 1613, we see the birth of Luisa of Guzman, Queen of Portugal. Luisa was known as a wise diplomat and would have 2 of her sons inherit the crown of Portugal and her daughter be Queen of England.
Lastly in 1933 today, the future Queen Narriman of Egypt was born. She was not a royal but was chosen to help bolster the popularity of the Egpytian monarchy. She would be their last Queen.
Our first death of note today, comes in 54 CE where we see Claudius, Roman Emperor, perish by possible poisoning. It's still contended who did the poisoning, we do know that his successor would go on to be infamous as it was his grand-nephew, Nero.
Next in 1706, we mark the passing of Iyasu I of Ethiopia. He had fallen ill while traveling and was assassinated by agents of his son and successor, Tekle Haymanot.
Lastly in 1825 today, we have the passing of Bavarian king Maximilian I Joseph. Maximilian was a great patron of the arts, as a fellow of the British Royal Society for Improving Knowledge, founded the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, and ordered the construction of the National Theatre in Munich.

Welcome back to the UK Human Rights Roundup, your regular full brass band of human rights news and views. The full list of links can be found here. You can find previous roundups here. Post by Sarina Kidd, edited and links compiled by Adam Wagner.
This week, Lord Neuberger implied that even if the Human Rights Act were to be abolished, the court would continue to uphold human rights, perhaps foreshadowing the Supreme Court's decision in Osborn. Meanwhile, the controversial Immigration Bill now has its overarching documents available, LSE are looking to create a written constitution and the Daily Mail are in trouble, again.
The protection of human rights is set to be a hot topic in the run up to the general election in 2015. In a useful summary, Act for UK Rights lays down the different parties' intentions for the Human Rights Act. Nick Clegg has listed 'not ditching the Human Rights Act' as one of the key things that the Liberal Democrats have prevented the Conservatives from doing in the coalition. Labour, of course, 'support the Human Rights Act and its role in protecting people', whilst the Conservatives plan to 'scrap' it and alter the UK's relationship with the European Court of Human Rights.
Joshua Rozenberg analyses Lord Neuberger's comments on Conservative plans to take power away from Strasbourg. The Supreme Court president stated that, 'I do not think it is politically controversial that some form of human rights or citizen's rights against the state are encoded or enshrined in a statute or some similar document so that they can be enforced in the courts'. This suggests that even if the Act were to be abolished, the courts would continue to uphold human rights – this is an interesting foreshadowing of the decision in Osborn which followed only days later.
Meanwhile, Anthony Bradley discusses Jack Straw's Hamlyn Lectures, in a review of his published collection. Straw, when discussing the Human Rights Act and Europe, blamed the current discontent towards Europe as being due to the 'ever expanding remit of the Strasbourg Court for which it has no mandate'. Whilst accepting that the Convention should permit the Court to protect 'basic human rights' he agreed with Lord Hoffmann that these basic rights should not be stretched. Anthony Bradley dissects Straw's arguments, noting that whilst he welcomes Straw's continuing support for the HRA, 'the features of the Strasbourg court that Straw now blames for the current discontents were all present and clearly visible in 1997'.
The LSE has begun a project in collaboration with Democratic Audit to draft a new constitution for the UK by 'crowdsourcing'. As Professor Conor Gearty explains, the 'UK has no constitution, or as every first year law student learns, it has no constitution written down in one grand document'. Carl Gardner, of Head of Legal, states that although he is 'firmly against a written constitution for Britain' he thinks it is a 'brilliant project'. Constitutionuk.com will provide a forum for debating, and suggested content covers equality of esteem, the celebration of respect for diversity, the protection of freedoms, subsidiarity and the guarantee of human security'.
You can track the progress of the Home Office's major new Immigration Bill here. The overarching documents are available here, looking at 'proposed changes to reform the removals and appeals system, end the abuse of Article 8 and prevent illegal immigrants accessing and abusing public services or the labour market'. The Immigration Bill was introduced into the House of Commons on 10 October 2013.
The United Kingdom Immigration Law Blog discusses the Bill further, stating that 'Immigration is the burning issue in the UK's political arena'. Theresa May has likened the immigration system to a 'never-ending game of snakes and ladders' and is intent on 'clamping down on the abuse of human rights in immigration appeals'.
This week, the ECHR corrected fallacious information that has featured recently in British Media. One example is of a Daily Mail article claiming that Strasbourg judges 'handed the criminals taxpayer-funded payouts of £4.4 million – an average of £22,000 a head'. But this is 'seriously misleading', according to the court. Obiter J' discusses the offending article here – see also Joshua Rozenberg.
The City and County of Swansea have 'relaunched itself as the Human Rights capital of the UK', by becoming the first local authority to adopt wholesale the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
A Statement is available from the Director of Public Prosecutions on abortion related cases, after an investigation by the Daily Telegraph on various clinics in England.
Frank Cranmer discusses whether it is time to end religious oaths in court proceedings. He criticises suggestions of a replacement oath of 'I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth' as Quakers, for example, 'find the idea of swearing abhorrent'.
On October 8th, Turkey lifted its ban on women wearing headscarfs in state institutions. The rule first appeared when Kemal Ataturk set about creating a secularist Turkey.
The Supreme Court have heard that Peter and Hazelmary Bull, who turned away Civil partners Martin Hall and Steven Preddy from their B&B, were adhering to 'God's perfect standards'. The case continues.
Regarding the Richard III reburial case, it has been announced that the Ministry of Justice is working with lawyers to challenge the High Court's decision to allow judicial review. David Pocklington of Law and Religion UK analyses this further.
Should the UK create a system for independently investigating the deaths of detained psychiatric patients? Lord Justice Aiken and Mr Justice Mitting handed down judgment this week on the matter, finding that the current law did not require it. They suggested, however, that for public policy purposes, the UK may wish to create such a system.
Cossey, R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for Justice  EWHC 3029 (Admin) (25 July 2013) bailii.org – Offender serving indeterminate sentence (post-tarrif period) not discriminated against under Article 14 ECHR by refusal to grant him similar rights to unconvicted and civil prisoners (post here).

Sheep complement fruit production on Ontario farm
Small on-farm dairies are at forefront of introducing milk with more easily-digested proteins
By Lilian Schaer
Bonnie den Haan explains the bottling procedure at Sheldon Creek Dairy. Photo: Lilian Schaer
An Ontario dairy farm and processor is the first to bring A2 milk to Ontario customers.
Sheldon Creek Dairy at Loretto, Ont. launched its A2 milk venture earlier in 2019, becoming Ontario's first and only the second dairy in Canada to sell this type of milk.
Why it matters: A2 milk was identified decades ago as more digestible, but it has taken years for the ability to genetically test cows inexpensively and technology to sort milk to catch up. It should give some farmers an added value for their milk.
Farmer co-op delivers 24 days of 'holiday cheer' in the form of milk and cookies
U.S. dairy industry continues to focus on exports
Public invited to experience new dairy barn
The den Haan family that owns Sheldon Creek is breeding all its cows at its Haanview Farm to A2 trait-dominant bulls, and designed its new robotic milking facility around being able to segregate milk from portions of its herd. The combination of control over the genetics of the herd and the flow of the milk allows the de Haans to make it work.
A2 comes from cows that naturally produce milk with the A2 version of beta-casein rather than A1, which can be harder for humans to digest. This makes A2 milk popular with people who have gastrointestinal sensitivities to the "regular" dairy milk on the market.
Emily den Haan first heard about A2 milk when she spent some time working on a dairy farm in Australia after university, and was intrigued by the potential it could present. When she came back to Canada, she shared her discovery with her parents, Bonnie and John, and her sister Marianne and brother-in-law Mike, all of whom are involved in the family business.
"For a cow to produce A2 milk, she has to get the A2 gene from the mother and the father – if the father is A2A2, he will pass along the A2 gene 100 per cent of the time; if the mother is A1A2, the A2 gene will be passed along 50 per cent of the time," explained Emily, adding that things began at Haanview Farms with genomically testing all of their cows.
"About 35 per cent of our milking herd was A2A2, and when you breed them all to A2A2 bulls, all offspring are 100 per cent guaranteed to be A2 – so that kick-started it for us," she said. Dairy genetics providers have been providing information on the beta casein status of their bulls for years, but it is only now becoming relevant in the market.
With an on-farm dairy already licensed and in production, what remained was the ability to keep their two streams of milk separate.
When the family built a state-of-the-art new dairy barn in late 2018 with capacity for 120 cows, they became the first farm in Canada to specifically add two distinctly separate milking lines flowing into two separate bulk tanks. Their milking robots identify the A2 animals and automatically direct their milk into the correct pipeline and tank.
"We now have the whole herd tested. We started with just the milk cows and we tested heifers this year – 70 per cent were A2A2," Emily said. "Now we're breeding A1 cows solely to A2A2 bulls."
According to Bonnie, the herd is now closer to 40 per cent A2A2 and all A2A1 offspring go to their son's dairy farm. As A1 cows get older, they will be removed from the herd, but this will be a gradual process with the family hoping to have an entirely A2A2 herd in about five years.
"We have an older herd – my parents were Master Breeders in 2017 so we have a lot of favourites we don't want to get rid of," said Emily, who manages the farm's breeding program together with her father.
"When we started, our goal was 100 per cent A2, but we are not in a huge rush to get there. We're still going to have our regular milk, but we will keep breeding A2, so we will get there," she added. "You either go all in or you don't."
Although the milk is separated, there's nothing else different about how the cows are managed at Haanview with all animals housed together in the same barn and receiving the same rations.
According to Emily, there's been no hard evidence of any kind of difference with respect to things like production levels, longevity, reproduction or disease susceptibility either – in fact, without testing, it would be impossible to tell which animals produce the A2 milk.
For her, the most nerve-wracking part of the new venture has been making the switch to A2 breeding without losing out on type or being able to use the best bulls. Fortunately, though, there's plenty of good A2A2 bulls to select from, she says.
Moving into the new barn and onto a robot system required some adjustment for both cows and people as well, and it was only after that was well in hand that the A2 line came into production.
"We wanted to wait until we got used to the robotics and the automation; there's a bit of a learning curve there," she said, adding that they've seen a
20 to 30 per cent increase in production since moving into the new facility, which was built using theories from famed animal welfare expert Temple Grandin.
Dairy Farmers of Ontario is starting to see some interest in A2 milk from other producers too, but will need accompanying processor demand to begin serious consideration around how to serve this market.
According to DFO research and market development manager Bita Farhang, demand and interest are likely to grow, particularly if research can more definitively prove health benefits around A2 milk.
"We believe there is some merit in the concept moving forward. DFO supports an environment that encourages innovation and growth in the manufacture of Canadian dairy products so if there are more demands from our processors, we will look at this as a niche market," she stated.
The den Haans started their venture into on-farm milk processing in 2012, when they opened Sheldon Creek Dairy to turn the milk from their purebred Holsteins into a range of products that includes minimally processed whole milk, yogurt, kefir, and 45 per cent cream. And once their A2 production ramps up, they hope to expand their A2 line of dairy products as well.
"We know there is a market for minimally processed milk. We supply the market with milk that tastes just like raw, and every year we add new flavours and product lines," Bonnie said.
Their products are sold in coffee shops in Toronto, Collingwood and Meaford, as well as higher end retail outlets like Whole Foods, Goodness Me, Pusateri's and Vince's in Newmarket.
What is A2 milk?
Sheldon Creek Dairy's A2 milk comes from their cows that naturally produce milk with the A2 version of beta-casein, rather than the A1 version of the protein, which can impact the digestive system.
A2 is cows' milk that contains only the A2 type of beta-casein protein rather than the more common A1 protein found in a majority of milk.
A1 and A2 proteins affect the body differently. When A1 protein is digested in the small intestine, it produces a peptide called beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7). The intestines absorb BCM-7, and it then passes into the blood. The structure of A2 protein is more comparable to human breast milk, as well as milk from goats, sheep, and buffalo.

Senator Grassley wants answers from Ambassador Rice
November 27, 2012 By Matt Kelley
The embattled U.S. ambassador to the United Nations is appearing before a panel of U.S. senators today to answer questions about this fall's deadly attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says Ambassador Susan Rice will be grilled about the September 11th incident which killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.
"We need all the people that were involved in the original intelligence document that said it was a terrorist attack, and then those words were taken out somewhere either in the intelligence community or in the White House, before she got them," Grassley says.
"Did she know about it? Who made the changes? What was their basis for making the changes?" Rice has been criticized for appearing on TV talk shows following the assault and blaming protests over an anti-Islamic film that appeared on the website YouTube.
Grassley, a Republican, says Rice likely isn't the only person who needs to appear before Congress to fill in some blanks. "I'm willing to give her an opportunity to express her views and consider what she says," Grassley says.
"I don't know that we can rely totally on her unless she was in the loop of all this happening. I suppose we'll find that out today. We need those answers." The acting director of the C-I-A is also supposed to meet with members of Congress on this issue later in the week.
Rice is meeting with several Republican senators today, but not Grassley directly.

FAQ on Ontario's Bill 28, the "All Families Are Equal Act"
How will Bill 28 affect me and my family?
Are "natural families" and "natural parents" really so important? What about adoptive parents?
Isn't the main purpose of the bill to simplify the process for both partners in a same-sex couple to be recognized as parents?
Bill 28 facilitates having children through surrogacy. What's the problem with that?
If you have not read ARPA's main article on Bill 28, we encourage you to read it first. There you will also find links to EasyMail letters on this topic. If you have already emailed your MPP, you can use this FAQ to assist you as you follow up with an additional email or phone call.
Bill 28 does not simply create or add new kinds of families. It redefines all families, present and future. By removing references to "mother", "father", "natural parents", and "blood" relations from Ontario law, and by creating alternative, contractual "families" between multiple unmarried and unrelated adults and children conceived further to their "parentage agreements", Bill 28 knocks family law even further off its foundations.
The bill gives the illusion of greater freedom. It gives people more "options" to choose from as they determine what a family is for them. But if the state can redefine the family and offer more "options" or "rights" by knocking family law off its foundations of marriage and blood relations, it can also take rights away. What will become of parental rights if a "family" is whatever the state says it is and a "parent" is whoever the state says is a parent? It's hard to know, but it's deeply disconcerting.
Do we care about our children and grandchildren's understanding of who they are, what a family is, and why it's important? Make no mistake, education policy and curriculum (among other government policies and programs) will fall in line with Bill 28's radical changes to Ontario law. This is about more than immediate practical consequences to my parental rights or yours – it is about embedding a false understanding of who we are as human beings into the law.
According to a leading family law textbook, family law has traditionally been concerned with "the relationships between husband and wife and parent and child." And, "The main subjects of family law have, therefore, traditionally been marriage, separation and divorce, property rights of spouses during the marriage and on marriage breakdown, support obligations of spouses to one another, the care and custody of children, support obligations of parents to their children, the intervention of the state in the parent-child relationship through child protection legislation, and the establishment of a parent-child relationship through adoption." (Hovius on Family Law, 7th edition)
Bill 28 will impact many and likely all of these areas in the long term. It makes marriage, which our law and culture have been devaluing for decades, even less important in family law. Far less. Marriage-plus-children will no longer be the basic model (which the law of common law relationships and adoption reflect). Having children the way almost everyone in the world does will be considered in Ontario law to just be one way (and no more legitimate or desirable) among others to form a "family". The "natural family" and "natural parents" are not to be favoured, promoted, or given primacy in law. Bill 28 rejects the very idea of a natural family.
Bill 28 declares all "families" – whatever voluntary arrangements the state deems worthy of the term – "equal". So it renders marriage, common law relationships, and blood relations – the foundations for family law – unimportant in law. Of course people can still form families by getting married and having children under Bill 28. But the philosophy of Bill 28 is that you are not family because you are married or related by blood. (Hence the removal of references to relations "by blood" and to "natural parents".) Rather, you are family if the law says you are. And if the law says you are family, your family is "equal" to all other families. If the state one day says you are not a family or you aren't parents – even to your own biological children – what will you say?
Are "natural families" or "natural parents" really so important? What about adoptive parents?
Emphasizing the importance of biology and blood relations between children and parents sometimes raises questions about adoptive parenting. Properly understood, however, adoption does not undermine the "conjugal conception of parenthood" or the natural family, but affirms the good of both.
In an adoptive family, too, it is marital love that is the starting point for the family, Dr. Tollefsen explains. The mutual commitment of spouses to each other and the child is what initiates the familial relationship, whether the child is the biological fruit of marital love or grafted into that relationship of mutual love and commitment through adoption.
Adoption should not be understood as a way to remedy the "problem" of infertility. Rather, adoption is for the good of the child. Adoption integrates children into a family who would otherwise not have a family. Affirming the good of adoption does not require redefining the family. It does not require throwing aside conjugal union as the foundation of the family. Adoption ideally provides the child both a mother and a father (other considerations being equal). Placing the child with relatives is also desirable where possible – again, because blood relationships do matter.
We recognize adoption to be a good alternative for a child where the child's natural parents are deceased or unable or unwilling to care for the child, but the law prioritizes and protects the child's relationship with his or her natural parents and should continue to do so.
Even when children are adopted, we generally recognize the good of the child learning in time who his or her natural parents are, for health and identity reasons. Bill 28 does not provide for this.
Bill 28 designs a legal system that legitimizes and encourages deliberately bringing children into the world who are separated at birth from their mother and father and whose legal parents may have no relationship beyond the merely contractual. Adoption, conversely, is intended to provide a child with a family in place of the child's natural parents where the latter are deceased, unable, or unwilling to care for the child, without denying the reality that the child does in fact have biological and adoptive parents (categories that Bill 28 erases).
Bill 28 may even make it more difficult for some couples to adopt children. If a couple holds the view that children do best when raised by a married mother and father (a view supported by the evidence), or even that children are better off with a married couple as parents than a group of four co-signors of a contract, their views would be plainly contrary to the "All Families Are Equal Act". Consequently, it may be considered contrary to public policy to place adoptive children with people who hold such beliefs. See for example this story out of the United Kingdom.
Currently, if a same-sex couple wishes to have a child that is legally recognized as the child of both of them, they can either adopt a child together or one of the two can be the biological parent of a child with a third party. In the latter case, the non-biological parent of a same-sex couple has to apply to a court to be recognized as a legal parent, effectively legally adopting the child. Also, when a birth is registered in Ontario, the law requires parents to list a mother and a father. This means that same-sex couples cannot both be listed on the birth certificate.
With opposite-sex couples, conversely, the child's mother's husband or common law partner is presumed to be the child's father, unless evidence is presented to the contrary. Both mother and father can be listed on the child's birth certificate.
The differences are derided by some as discriminatory and unjust. In our view, however, the differences arise not from any irrational animus towards or mistreatment of LGBT persons, but from the real differences between opposite and same-sex couples and the reality that every child has a biological mother and father. One or both of the partners in a same-sex relationship must inevitably be an adoptive parent.
If the goal were simply to save same-sex couples the cost and inconvenience involved in having both partners recognized as legal parents, Ontario could simplify adoption procedures and provide additional support for parents going through that process.
But Bill 28 goes way beyond making things easier for same-sex couples. In fact, as explained elsewhere, it makes couples (opposite-sex or same-sex) far less important in family law overall, opening up alternative contract-based "families" between multiple parties who are not in a committed relationship or related by blood.
Surrogacy is a difficult and complex issue, legally and ethically. If the Ontario government is interested in reforming the law of surrogacy, it should at least study the matter in depth and allow time for public input first. Here are some of the problems with surrogacy.
Essentially, surrogacy commodifies women and children. It makes a woman's reproductive organs objects than can be used and rented. It risks causing disruption in the lives of children born through surrogacy. It can even leave children vulnerable to trafficking. According to international law, surrogacy violates human dignity and children's best interests, as Adina Portaru (PhD in international law) explains:
Surrogacy contravenes European and international law. The sheer number of laws it violates is staggering: the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (2000), the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) and its Protocol on the Sale of Children (2000), the Conventions on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (1979), on the Adoption of Children (1967 and 1993), on Human Trafficking (2005), and on Human Rights and Biomedicine (1997). All of these documents place human dignity (as opposed to the commoditization and objectification of the human body) at their heart and outline the superior interest of children to know their origin and identity.
Surrogacy under Bill 28 will likely cause substantial confusion and conflict.
Many persons might claim parental rights with respect to a child born out of a surrogacy agreement under Bill 28: the surrogate mother, the genetic mother (egg donor), the husband or common law partner of the surrogate mother (presumptions of paternity), the genetic father (sperm donor), and the four "intended parents" signatory to the surrogacy agreement.
Bill 28 encourages surrogacy and facilitates the establishment of families through "surrogacy agreements" with up to five parties – four "intended parents" plus the surrogate. This new form of family, which has no couple in a committed relationship at its core, depends on women agreeing to be "breeders".
Other countries such as France, Finland, Iceland, and Germany, completely prohibit surrogacy, recognizing that even altruistic surrogacy can be exploitative and lead to serious conflict. Quebec law does not recognize surrogacy arrangements and does not enforce surrogacy contracts. France does not allow people who arrange to have a child through a surrogate to be recognized as the child's parents at birth or to adopt the child.
Ontario would do well to at least have a legislative committee study why some jurisdictions have prohibited surrogacy while others have permitted and regulated it.

Captain Conkey.
Captain Conkey was a "jackass" to make a long story short. He had a company of soldiers at Fort Zara for the purpose of escorting the mail from one station to another. Once on my way East with a coach full of passengers, a snow storm began to rage, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, soon after I had left Fort Larned. It snowed so hard that at 8 o'clock we couldn't tell where the road was, and the passengers took it time and about with me running along the road in front of the coach to find the road.
We got to Fort Zara at ten o'clock that night, the orderly sergeant came after the mail about 500 yards from the soldiers' camp. I told the sergeant that I wanted an escort at nine o'clock in the morning. He gave Captain Conkey my orders and the Captain told him to go back and arrest me and put me in chains. The First Lieutenant told the Captain that I would be there in the morning; that they had no place to sleep me, so the Captain let me alone that night, but the next morning he sent his orderly after me. When the orderly came to the station, he said to me, "that old fool of a captain sent me down here to arrest you." I asked him what he wanted with me. The orderly told me that he was to arrest me for ordering an escort. I told the orderly to "fire away," I would go over and see the old "mossback."
Their quarters was a little dugout in the side of the hill along the river bank. They had a gunny sack for the door, and I went into the first room, which was used for a kitchen, and the cook told me to go to the next room, it had a gunny sack door, too, the First and Second Lieutenants were in there. They told me to go on to the next room that the Captain's headquarters was in the other room. I had my mittens and overcoat on, and he said, "you pull off your hat, you insolent puppy, and salute me." I replied to the Captain's kind words of greeting that, "I will not salute you, but excuse me, I should have had manners enough to have removed my hat." He told me that he "would put the irons" on me. I answered him that I did not think he would do such an unmanly thing, at least right then. This exasperated the haughty Captain, and he hollowed for the First Lieutenant to come and put me in irons. I asked him what he was there for, and he told me that it was "none of my business." I then got pretty middling hot myself, and I told him that if he did not know his business, that it was "up to me" to "put you next," or words to that extent. I told him that he was there for the purpose of furnishing escorts for the United States mail and that it was I, and not he, in command there, then, by virtue with the position I held with the Government, and I told him that I now ordered him to be placed under arrest. I called on the Lieutenant to place the irons on him. I told him that I would take him to Leavenworth, and the Lieutenant, delighted by the change of program, said, "alright."
Captain Conkey then told me that he would furnish the escort, and I told him to do so, then, and I would leave him here, that I had no room on the coach for such a "donkey" as he was, but that I would tell the commanding officer at Fort Leavenworth that we needed a captain for the company here, in order to save time and trouble for the other conductors of the road. I told him that he had not only taken up time, but that he had made a perfect "donkey" of himself, and of the men who had favored him with this position.
Captain Conkey asked me if the Indians were bad again. I told him that it did not matter whether they were bad or not, I wanted an escort. I got my escort of fifteen soldiers at last and after getting the teams hitched, off we started, the soldiers in advance to break the roads. That is, as a matter of fact, all the use we had for them. We could travel very well when they had ridden ahead and broke the snow so we could follow the trail.
Daugherty built him a new station across the creek from where Conkey was camped, on Walnut Creek. He put up corals for the mules and built a fort-like building for his home. About the time he had finished his buildings, some white hunters had killed some Indians, and trouble began between the white race and the Indian tribes.
One day at about ten o'clock in the forenoon, Mr. Daugherty went up on the top of his house with his field glasses to inspect the surrounding country. He noticed that Indian smokes were all around, and the Indians seemed to be coming toward them all the time.
He hastened down from the roof and called the orderly from Captain Conkey's company to him and told him that unless the Captain moved to his fort within an hour and a half that they would all be killed by the Indians. There had been bad blood between Conkey and Bill Daugherty for quite a while, and when Daugherty sent the orderly to Conkey with the warning of the coming Indians, Captain Conkey got mad and told the orderly to go over and arrest Daugherty for disturbing his peace. Just as the soldiers coming to arrest him stepped on the bridge, Bill Daugherty halted them. He said, "if you come another foot, I will fire on you." You go back and tell Conkey, the fool, that if he don't get you men to this side inside of half an hour, you will all be "gonners." If you want the protection of my fort, come over and you will have the same protection as I have, otherwise, you will go up in smoke, holy, or otherwise. Daugherty then took his gun and went to the Captain, and saluting him, said: "The Indians are coming, 1,000 strong, and unless you get your wagons, etc., out of here, and at once, you will be scalped." Captain Conkey then decided that for the benefit of his health, he had better decamp to the other side for protection. He just barely escaped when the Indians swooped down on his camp ground. Then Daugherty took his gun and went to the bridge and laid the gun down and walked over it toward the Indians, motioning to them that he came in peace, and for them to come and get something to eat. Daugherty took four of the Indians to his fort and gave them some bacon, coffee and other provisions, and took two other men from the fort with him with axes, to chop wood for a fire, and they cooked a meal and with the Indians the four white persons and Bill Daugherty sat down to "meat." Bill Daugherty showed the Indian chiefs over his fort, explained the working of his guns and cannons. He had 40 port holes in the houses and shelves under each one on which to rest a gun. After giving them a large box of smoking tobacco, he told them they could go on back to their camp and that he would keep the soldiers peaceable if he would keep his braves peaceable. Captain Conkey told Daugherty that he believed he would go down and see the chief, and Bill answered him, to "go if you d--ed please, and you want to lose your scalp, for they will surely not put up with your palaver." Conkey concluded that he had better remain in the home of his enemy than risk his precious scalp at the camp of the Indians.

Some of you might know that Tromso has just opened up in one of the railway arches that runs between Chestnut Avenue and Cranmer Road, joining such Forest Gate favourites as the Space East, MBox and Tracks.
You can obviously write anything you'd like in support (I hear that cinnamon rolls are in and of themselves not material to planning, otherwise my entire comment in support would have been a paean to these small twists of deliciousness) but I have included my comment below, in case it's useful or provides any ideas.
As one of the councillors for Forest Gate North ward, I am pleased to support this application for change of use for Tromso.
This railway arch forms part of a row of arches that run between Cranmer Road and Chestnut Avenue. Until relatively recently they were something of an eyesore, either empty and hence littered and fly tipped, or occupied by businesses that clogged up the space with vehicles, and were sometimes noisy and caused disturbance.
Since these arches have begun to be occupied by small local businesses, using the small spaces imaginatively to test out business concepts, the look and feel of the arches has changed beyond recognition, and I am sure that Tromso will add to that. What was effectively a yard with an industrial feel is now a pleasant place to walk alongside businesses that include a boxing studio, a yoga studio, and now proposes to include a bakery and café.
They have already engaged positively with local people via social media, and have gained significant good feeling from local residents who are keen to see another high quality small local business. The owners have been in touch with me to emphasise their commitment to the local community, to local people, and to being good neighbours and good employers, and I am very happy to support this.
I am pleased to see good employment opportunities at London Living Wage exist so locally, particularly with the opportunity for employees to develop skills in breadmaking and baking, and feel sure that although small scale (as befits a small space) this will add to the area as well. I was also reassured to see the commitment in their application to responsible disposal of waste.

UNH database aids healthcare decision making
New Hampshire health organizations can more easily use health data to deliver higher-quality, lower-cost care
By Sonia Scherr
The Accountable Care Project, a program of the NH Citizens Health Initiative, is working to improve its system for sharing information from the state's all-payer claims database and from electronic medical records. Rather than receiving a standard report, participating organizations—including hospitals and physicians' groups—can now delve into the data themselves to explore the variables they are interested in.
"We're creating a mechanism for partners across the state to access reports that are focused on measures they care about and that allow them to better visualize the data," says Jo Porter, Deputy Director of the UNH-based Institute for Health Policy and Practice (IHPP), which staffs the NH Citizens Health Initiative.
Before we couldn't tell what value we were providing the [healthcare] system because we had no data to gauge it from .... Now we do.
Sharon Beaty
CEO of Mid-State Health Center
The reports enable the organizations to assess how they're doing compared to others in New Hampshire on measures related to cost, quality and use. This information guides their healthcare reform efforts as they seek to provide better care for residents while containing spending. It's a goal that's becoming more critical in New Hampshire and nationwide as healthcare expenses soar and legislation such as the Affordable Care Act attempts to address the problem.
A 2012 report from the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies found that New Hampshire spends more per person on healthcare than the national average and more than other states that provide similar quality care. In fact, health care spending in New Hampshire is growing faster than both the rate of inflation and the total personal income of residents. Another 2012 report from the center concluded that while the quality of New Hampshire's healthcare system is generally high, the state could do better on some public health measures.
Sharon Beaty, the CEO of Mid-State Health Center in Bristol and Plymouth, says the Accountable Care Project gives her organization a much broader perspective on the quality of care it is providing. Because the data includes all claims for patients (even if they received some of their care elsewhere), she can examine trends in use that she would not have been able to see otherwise. For instance, she can look at the percentage of diabetics who received retinal exams—a measure of whether they are receiving proper care. Or she can determine if patients are following up on their providers' recommendations to get mammograms.
She can also compare the average monthly costs of caring for similar groups of patients at her facility versus elsewhere in the state. "Before we couldn't tell what value we were providing the system because we had no data to gauge it from," she says. "Now we do."
The data has been particularly helpful in recent months, thanks to a new user-friendly delivery system that is still being refined. In September, UNH acquired SAS Visual Analytics for the Accountable Care Project, which launched in 2011. This software package, being implemented in partnership with the North Carolina-based SAS, allows users to point and click to instantly generate customized reports. Previously, Porter says, she would send them a 700-page PDF that they would have to search through for the information they wanted. Data sharing is an integral part of the Accountable Care Project, which received funding in its first 2½ years from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and now relies on other support.
The project's larger aim is to have an impact that goes beyond individual health organizations, according to those involved. "The important thing is not just the data, but also the conversations that it leads to and the actions that result from them, especially regarding policy," says IHPP director Ned Helms. "That's where the rubber meets the road."

Recently the hop shortage has been driving beer prices up, and other economic factors like higher fuel costs and higher grain costs (barley) will probably compound that price increase. Do you think the economic situation will start to inspire more people to drink even more local beer, similar to the locavore movement in food? And further, do you think local breweries will start brewing more Belgian or German styles to supplant the fact that those imported beers are going to be skyrocketing in price?
With the rediscovery of local food in terms of supporting your neighbors, promoting less pollution/fuel per mile, sustainability, and FRESHNESS, let's tranfer that zietgeist to beer. Drink local, drink local, drink local (and its corollary, buy local) with, of course, the occasional out-of-state spice.
But I can only hope that that ugly neologism "locavore" vanishes ignominiously, and soon, from the lexicon.
I believe that the first victim of higher beer prices will be the bars and pubs. They are being forced to increase their prices and that may force better beer drinkers to buy from a store and drink at home more often. It's getting too expensive to drink "out" these days. Unless you are tasting directly at the brewery tasting rooms, the price of a pint at a bar just may force you to think twice about drinking out.

Finally found the answer why we crave chocolate in PMS
Health & Beauty / by IM / Aug 25, 2017
It seems that the desire for chocolate cakes before the period is still a matter of society, not biology, a study has shown.
Do you know that feeling before a period when everything you want to eat is just sweets? Many women admit they crave chocolate during the period of PMS. Experts have come to the conclusion that a great role plays and the lack of nutrients. But they have suggested that this desire for chocolate in the PMS is not a thing that happens in a female body, but a matter of society and culture.
A recent study launched by experts at the University of Albany, included 275 young women volunteers. All of them were from 25 different countries and different life backgrounds. When analyzing the answers form the study - that diversity came to light. Most women agreed to feel a strong desire for chocolate at PMS.
Even 41 percent of women born in US who grew up speaking another language, and 33 percent of those who grew up speaking English reported to have a desire for chocolate at specific time during their menstrual cycle, while 17 percent of women from less developed countries say they sometimes feel a desire to eat something sweet.
"We are learning more and more that cravings, or at least certain elements of them, may be unique to North America," explained Julia Hormes, a psychologist from the University at Albany, State University of New York.
But people are often not happy with this answer because it means that it is about them and their responsibility, and not something they cannot influence. These studies have shown that in some parts of the world it has become quite common for women to eat chocolate before menstruation, and as they are more likely to socialize with one another the desire begins to affect others in their surrounding even more.
"It's really about how we view foods like chocolate—high-fat, high-sugar, tasty foods that we tend to vilify and make them taboo," Hormes says. "I think women are particularly susceptible to that message because of expectations about ideal beauty and being skinny."

Netflix Streams 'The Cloverfield Paradox' Following Super Bowl LII
For football fans, it was the Philadelphia Eagles denying a trademark New England Patriots rally to win its first Super Bowl (discounting a 1960 NFL Championship) in a thrilling contest, 41-33.
For Hollywood, the marquee televised event (111 million viewers in 2017) provided massive eyeballs for movie trailers/teasers reportedly costing more than $5 million to air.
Netflix went a step further, using the Super Bowl's typical 100 million household audience to announce that its acquisition of former Paramount Pictures' sequel, The Cloverfield Paradox, would be available to stream globally following the game.
The SVOD pioneer reportedly acquired the movie after Paramount pushed back its theatrical release to April, and then abandoned the idea. Netflix and Paramount previously partnered on Annihilation, a sci-fi action horror film starring Natalie Portman and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
This marked the first time a major motion picture was made available almost immediately following its Super Bowl commercial.
Early results from comScore cited spots from Walt Disney's Marvel Avengers: Infinity War, Universal Pictures' Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Disney's Lucasfilm Solo: A Star Wars Story generating the most social media buzz.
comScore said Fallen Kingdom and Paramount Pictures' Mission: Impossible – Fallout generated 3.56 million and 2.09 million views, respectively on Facebook and YouTube.
The Cloverfield Paradox generated the most buzz among subscription streaming video services, followed by Universal's Skyscraper, starring Dwayne Johnson, and Quiet Place (Paramount) and Red Sparrow (Fox).
Amazon Studios ran a spot for "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan," starring John Krasinski, while Hulu ran a trailer for new series, "Castle Rock," starring Sissy Spacek and Bill Skarsgard, among others.
HBO ran a spot for the second season of "Westworld."
