Q: How do I update a control from a static method using beginInvoke? I seem to be caught in a Catch 22. I am using BeginInvoke to update a control on my xaml form. However the beginInvoke requires a static method and a static method cannot update a xaml control.
public delegate void UpdateTextCallback(string message);

Here is my BeginInvoke:
public static void runProcess2()
{
    Process process = new Process();
    process.StartInfo.FileName = @"\\lcsrel\prerelease\lcs\6.0\se_w16_ship\Latest\en-US\amd64fre\Test\Tools\RunUCTest.cmd";
    process.StartInfo.Arguments = @"/RunTestsVM /tests:+suite=null  /Topology:eepool_ap_onprem /LeaveVmsRunning /VMCopyBuild:Minimal ";

    process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
    process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
    process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

    process.OutputDataReceived += (sender, e) =>
    {
        var localSender = sender;
        // Prepend line numbers to each line of the output.
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(e.Data))
        {
            try
            {
                Application.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Background, new UpdateTextCallback(UpdateText), "\n" + e.Data);

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                string msg = ex.Message;
            }

        };
    };

process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;

process.Start();

// Asynchronously read the standard output of the spawned process.
// This raises OutputDataReceived events for each line of output.
process.BeginOutputReadLine();
Task.Factory.StartNew(
    () =>
        {
            process.WaitForExit();
            process.Close();

        });
}

Here is the update method:
private static void UpdateText(string message)
{
   rt_output.AppendText(message);
}

But here I get:

An object reference is required for the non-static field, method or property Windows4.rt_output.

rt_output is the control.
If I remove the static keyword from this method then I get an error in BeginInvoke:

An object reference is required for the non-static field, method or property Windows4.UpdateText(string).

The medical aspect of using anabolic androgenic steroids in males attending gyms of Saint-Petersburg
Authors: Lykhonosov M.P., Babenko A.Y.
Background. Anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) are often used by individuals engaged in physical recreational activity. AASs inhibit the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis and can cause erectile dysfunction and reduced fertility. There is no data on the use of AASs in this category of people in the Russian Federation; therefore, a study exploring the rate and patterns of using steroids for non-medical purposes is topical.
Aim — of this study was to investigate the rate and patterns of using AASs in males attending gyms in Saint Petersburg.
Material and methods. We used individual anonymous postal survey of males attending gyms. We analyzed demographic and anthropometric data, information on the use of AASs, awareness of their side effects, used agents, patterns and duration of their use, and rehabilitation therapy.
Results. Out of 1,815 sent questionnaires, we received back 762 ones. The criteria were met by 550 questionnaires. The mean age was 29.3±7.4 years. The use of AASs was reported by 30.4% of respondents. The main AAS (74.3%) consumers were males aged 22 to 35 years. The most popular drug was Testosterone Propionate (51.5%); the drug was often combined with Oxandrolone (19.7%). In 70.6% of cases, drugs were administered by injection or injection combined with tablet intake. The injectable testosterone dose ranged from 500 to 2,000 mg/week and above. The most common dose was 1,000 mg/week (23.9%). AAS administration for more than 1 year was reported in 16.1% of males. Anastrozole (55%), hCG (51.3%), Clomiphene (41.3%), and Tamoxifen (30.5%) were used during the recovery period. The main source of information on AASs, doses, and dosage patterns was the Internet (48.7%). A negative attitude towards AASs was found in 17.3% of respondents. The desire to receive qualified information about AASs and their impact on health was reported by 54.8% of the surveyed respondents.
Conclusion. Almost every fourth gym visitor has experience in using AASs. These are males of an optimal reproductive age. The common pattern of using AASs is an aggressive steroid course followed by a recovery period. The list of used drugs and their doses indicate a significant pharmacological intervention and a high risk to health.

This fall's continued slowdown in truck sales already has started to bring year-end savings, offering work-truck buyers an opportunity to look for deals. And while it may seem silly to find a decent price on a massive pickup, such as the fully loaded, dual-rear-wheel Ram 3500 we recently test-drove, it is not impossible.
A big cost of a truck this size is what it can do for users that need to tow, haul and move. Our 2016 Ram 3500 arrived with a base price of $56,825, which included a crew cab, long box and four-wheel drive. With a window sticker of $76,090, including delivery, this giant pickup also came with a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel ($8,995) and, with that engine, a heavy-duty Aisin six-speed automatic transmission ($2,595). The dual rear tires added $1,200.

Revealed: these are the top 22 tech trends for 2022
Novak Djokovic has Australian visa cancelled for second time

Novak Djokovic has had his Australian visa cancelled for a second time.
A judge overturned the original decision on Monday (10 January), but the world number had been waiting to find out whether Immigration Minister Alex Hawke would use his powers to reimpose the penalty.
A statement was released just before 6pm (7am UK time) on Friday (14 January) by Mr Hawke who said he had made the judgement to send Djokovic home "on health and good order grounds".
He said: "Today I exercised my power under section 133C(3) of the Migration Act to cancel the visa held by Mr Novak Djokovic on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so.
"This decision followed orders by the Federal Circuit and Family Court on 10 January 2022, quashing a prior cancellation decision on procedural fairness grounds.
"In making this decision, I carefully considered information provided to me by the Department of Home Affairs, the Australian Border Force and Mr Djokovic.
"The Morrison Government is firmly committed to protecting Australia's borders, particularly in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic."
Why was Djokovic's visa cancelled?
Djokovic arrived in Melbourne on 5 January after being granted an exemption through Tennis Australia from the country's strict entry rules regarding Covid-19 vaccination on the grounds he had been recently infected with the virus.
However, he was stopped by the Australian Border Force and questioned through the night before being informed that his visa had been cancelled, and was taken to a detention hotel.
The tennis star appealed the decision and five days later a judge ruled in his favour, seemingly freeing him up to play in the Australian Open, which kicks off on Monday (17 January).
While there could yet be a further legal challenge from the world number one, his hopes of winning a 10th title at Melbourne Park and his 21st grand slam crown are at an end.
The 34 year-old headed straight to Melbourne Park after being freed from the hotel on Monday and has practised every day since, including early on Friday morning.
But his hopes of staying in the country faded over the week following revelations about his conduct.
Djokovic admitted he broke self-isolation rules in December after testing positive for Covid-19.
He was photographed at events on the following two days and issued a statement earlier this week admitting he took part in an interview with French newspaper L'Equipe at his tennis centre in Belgrade, despite knowing he had the virus.
He said his attendance was an "error of judgement" and admitted he "should have rescheduled" his commitments.
The tennis ace, who is unvaccinated against Covid-19, also admitted to making a false declaration on his travel form before entering Australia, where he was hoping to defend his Australian Open title.
Recent reports suggest the 34-year-old had travelled to Serbia and then to Spain prior to the trip.
Djokovic blamed the mistake regarding his recent travel history on his agent, after the form stated he had not travelled in the 14 days prior to his arrival in the country.
In a statement on Wednesday (12 January), he said: "On the issue of my travel declaration, this was submitted by my support team on my behalf – as I told immigration officials on my arrival – and my agent sincerely apologises for the administrative mistake in ticking the incorrect box about my previous travel before coming to Australia.
"This was a human error and certainly not deliberate.
"We are living in challenging times in a global pandemic and sometimes these mistakes can occur."

SEARCHLIGHT, Nev. -- The push for a new national monument about 60 miles south of Las Vegas has taken on added urgency, in the face of a new wind-farm proposal in the area.
The monument would be called Avi Kwa Ame, which is the Mojave Tribe's term for Spirit Mountain. The 380,000-acre monument would connect the Mojave National Preserve on the California-Nevada border with the Colorado River plateau.
Neal Desai, senior program director for the National Parks Conservation Association, said the landscape is holy ground for many Native Americans.
"This area is sacred to a dozen tribes," Desai explained. "It's tied to the creation story. It is the area where the universe started for the Yuman tribes along the river."
Opponents noted the area already has some federal protections. However, a national monument designation would preclude any future commercial development.
In recent weeks, town officials in Searchlight and Boulder City have endorsed the monument proposal.
In 2018, the Bureau of Land Management rejected a bid by a Swedish company to build the huge Crescent Peak wind farm.
Desai added he hopes the agency will also put a stop to the company's latest plans.
"That company is now proposing a 9,000-acre project in the same area," Desai noted. "It's just a new threat, and it's another reason why we need to get this monument established right away."
Advocates for the monument believe their cause is gaining momentum now that a Native American leader, Deb Haaland, has become U.S. Interior Secretary. In addition, the monument would help President Joe Biden reach his stated goal of protecting 30% of the country's public lands by 2030.

A new report found ties between groups and individuals who supported -- and in some cases participated in -- the Jan. 6 insurrection and those who oppose protecting public lands.
The study by the nonpartisan watchdog group Accountable.US suggests anti-government extremists who want to end public ownership of land and water in Arizona and other Western states have infiltrated the halls of power.
Karl Frish, spokesman for Accountable.US, said many anti-public lands leaders are aligned with violent forces who attempted to overturn the 2020 election.
"Oath Keepers and your Cliven Bundys, various lawmakers have been active opposing public lands," Frish explained. "In some of those cases, you have people who have endorsed what happened on Jan. 6, and in some of those cases you have people who were involved Jan. 6."
The report found connections between more than a dozen groups and individuals who endorse violence, including Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar, who, among others, encouraged aggression at the Jan. 6 rally and in the takeover of public lands. Gosar did not respond to a request for comment.
The report found during former President Donald Trump's administration, conservative activists pushed for state and local officials to "take back" public lands from the federal government.
"If we're going to deal with the 'small-d' anti-democratic fervor that we saw in the wake of Jan. 6, you're going to also have to confront issues around the rabid opposition to public lands," Frish cautioned.
Frish believes it is important for political leaders and conservationists to focus their message to voters that access to public lands and waters must be protected or could be lost permanently.
"I think part of it is making sure that the antidote gets out there around why conservation is important," Frish asserted. "We need to double down on our efforts to make sure that that message is out there and that land stewardship is not just saying 'No one is going to have access to this land.' "
The report concluded anti-government extremists who want to end public ownership of land and those who seek to overturn legitimate elections are embedded in the halls of power from county commissioners to attorneys general and in Congress.
Report Accountable.US 01/06/2022
People of color historically have been excluded from outdoor-recreation jobs, but a collaborative effort to diversify staff within agencies that manage public lands could change that.
The Hispanic Access Foundation has teamed up with agencies such as the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to tap college students and recent graduates for what are known as "MANO" fellowships.
"The potential of a 'Climate Corps' - you know, the Civilian Climate Corps - it begins to groom Hispanic people to take their place in conservation," said Max Trujillo, senior field ooordinator for the group Hispanics Enjoying Camping Hunting and the Outdoors in New Mexico.
He said MANO fellows work on cultural preservation in museums and environmental stewardship outdoors, and gain business skills including accounting, communications and engineering. Applications are online at ManoProject.org. The deadline to apply is Jan. 7.
Trujillo noted that New Mexico is blessed with an abundance of public lands and wildlife species that need to be preserved.
"With climate change, we've seen channels of waterways getting deeper and the water not staying in the higher terrain to create more sustainable water fill downstream," he said. "So, there's all kinds of projects to do, restoration and maintenance."
The MANO fellowships are designed to provide Latinos the skills to help them compete for well-paid, permanent jobs with benefits. Trujillo said Hispanics have been involved in protecting areas where centuries-old cultural traditions are performed, and it's time those ideas are part of the conversation.
"I think that opening some avenues for different ideas to conservation will be beneficial to the masses," he said.
The MANO fellowship positions are paid, and many offer transportation stipends, free on-site housing or housing stipends.

HEMET, Calif. -- Public-lands groups are asking Congress to support the proposed Western Riverside County Wildlife Refuge, a 500,000-acre swath between Hemet and Temecula in Southern California.
The Hispanic Access Foundation and Defenders of Wildlife are asking people to sign a letter to lawmakers supporting House Resolution 972, which would create the refuge.
Mariel Combs, senior policy analyst for Defenders of Wildlife, said the refuge would preserve important habitat and migration routes for many species.
"It's important, especially in this urban environment," Combs asserted. "It would connect the Cleveland National Forest and the San Bernardino National Forest."
Wildlife refuge status would ensure the area is protected from suburban sprawl. It is home to 146 species, 33 of which are threatened or endangered, including bighorn sheep, the Quino checkerspot butterfly, and the Red-legged frog. So far, the project faces no significant opposition.
The proposal has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, but it has not come up for a vote, or been introduced in the Senate.
The letter noted communities of color are almost twice as likely as white communities to live in nature-deprived places, 66% compared to 32%.
Brenda Gallegos, conservation program associate for the Hispanic Access Foundation, said the refuge would provide recreational opportunities for low-income families nearby.
"Two-thirds of communities of color do not have access to nature or some green spaces in the area, so having this established would bring available access to these communities," Gallegos explained.
If passed, the project would become the second-largest urban wildlife refuge in the country, and move the U.S. closer to meeting the national and state goal of preserving 30% of public lands by 2030.

We will try in this small article to shed some light on the subject of food and diet in Assyria and Babylonia since it is a subject seldom covered in most conversations.
While the quantity and variety of vertebrate animal remains, and in particular those of the mammals, show how important protein foods have been to man since his emergence. Early communities made full use of the whole range of mammals, and indeed all-animal life, found in their territory. Some animals�or parts of them �would, no doubt, have been considered �delicacies�, but in hunting and collecting economies there is no place for a genuine food bias. The distribution of mammal groups today is of course not necessarily a guide to that of the past, and on this score man himself has markedly altered the spread of some such populations�usually to their detriment, if we except domestic animals.
The earliest evidence of domestic sheep comes from the site of Zawi Chemi Shanidar (Iraq), and projects their history back to about 9000 BC. The bones showed that this early community was killing a large part of each year�s young for food and skins before the end of each year. By about 2000 BC, a number of domestic varieties are in evidence in Assyria and probably all were derived from wild urial sheep stock. The remains of cattle from the Halafian site of Bandahilk (Iraq) seem very likely to be of a domestic stock and not a small wild population, suggesting that the domestication of different species and varieties of cattle were known going back even 7,000 years ago. First, there was bos primigenius. This was widely distributed and was the most common breed and was the ancestor of the oxen of modern Mesopotamia. The Second variety was bos bubalus, or the buffalo, a native of Asia Minor and reached Mesopotamia at the time of the Akkadian dynasty. A third variety, now extinct, was the huge and savage bison. The great winged bulls, the tutelary genii that guarded the gates of the Assyrian capital city Khorsabad (Dur-Sharrukin), represented a memory of the bison, which was by far the most dangerous animal in Mesopotamia. The last variety was Zebu or hump-backed ox were bred in Mesopotamia by about 3000 BC, as it seems from art evidence.
We judge from other textual evidence from the time of the Assyrian King Sargon II that the economy in Babylonia was based at least partially on animal husbandry and on agriculture. Horses, mules, oxen, sheep, and goats were captured from the Aramean tribes and a percentage of the annual increase of their flocks was designated for tribute to Assyria which was growing in population and needed as much sources for food and transportation as possible.
Milk and milk products are perishable, therefore, their history is patchy, depending for the most part on literary, ceramic and art evidence. Early representations of milking include that in a frieze at Ur (c. 2900 BC). Probably cow and goat milk have been the most generally used by early communities. The use of butter, sour milk and cheese must have quickly followed the regular milking of animals, for by accident alone this milk product must have occurred again and again. Butter would be very easily produced merely by the action of transporting milk from place to place in containers. Certainly in Mesopotamia it was of great importance. The milking scene from Ur demonstrates the method used by the shepherds: a man is seated rocking a large narrow-necked jar lying on its side, and to his left two men are straining the resulting liquid in order to take off the butter. In Assyrian all fat was described simply as �fat�. When the phrase is unqualified or is accompanied by some term implying excellence, it meant butter. Other forms of fat like that derived from the sesame plant were explicitly described. There is some doubt, however, which has been cast on the use of the word �butter� and later translators have substituted �curds� as a more accurate description of the product. In Mesopotamia cheese making was an important task, and some cylinder seals found there depict the shepherd with his flocks, and rows of little circles probably representing cheeses. Numerous cheese-moulds were found in the dairy of the Palace of Mari (3rd millennium BC).
Our knowledge of the early domestication of birds is still very meagre. Fowls were known for a long time though, it appeared on Assyrian seals by the 8th century BC. The wild birds, which were however sometimes kept as pets, included the ibis, the crane, the heron (of which 7 varieties have been counted), which frequented the marshes, and the pelican, which was trained for fishing, while the fields were the home of thrushes, blackbirds, sparrows and larks. Quails were rare, but partridges and francolins bred in the country and we can see the latter being hunted with the bow on a bas-relief from Khorsabad (Dur-Sharrukin) of the time of King Sargon II, now in the Louvre Muesum.
Fish was popular to the Assyrians and the rivers following through Assyria were a good source for them. Their knowledge of the breeding habits of fish was considerable and fertilized eggs were collected and placed in special lakes or vivaria. The Assyrians maintained an ample supply of fish in the dams they built. The canals were also useful as a source of edible fish, and fishing is often referred to as an occupation. An Assyrian bas-relief shows a little round pond fed by a stream and the sculptor has been careful to make clearly visible the fish, which it contains, as though they were on the surface. Fishing was generally done on a line, but various kinds of net were also employed. The pond depicted on this particular relief is so regular in shape that it may well be a special stew fed by a branch stream from a canal. Fish, eaten both fresh and dried, was an important element in Assyrian diet. The larger fish were dried gutted, filleted, and hung on a line, as is still done in Norway. Smaller fish were left in the sun and then compressed into a solid block, from which the required quantity could be cut off. Discoveries at Tello recognized fragments of this dried fish.
Honey was apparently known but not used so widely as date syrup, and it seems that honey was brought in from the land of the Hittites, for it is a known fact that the Hittites were ardent bee-keepers. The date, meanwhile, to the Assyrians, was, in the words of Herodotus, their �food, wine and honey�. Fig-syrup was also used in Assyria. We read from the textual evidence from the time of the Assyrian King Sargon II that as a tribute date palms belonging to the Arameans were cut down by Assyrian troops to use as food and other parts of the annual tribute was to be paid in grain.
Few major variants of wheat are known to have been used in Assyria. The Emmer wheat, Jarmo, has provided grains strikingly like the wild ancestral forms. Club wheat has been identified at a Mesopotamian site dated to 3000 BC. Barley and wheat are the cereals that occur most persistently in Mesopotamian archaeological sites. More is known of six-row barley, the lax-eared form being present in those sites. Barley was not only the most common of the useful natural products but also the most abundant, and in the absence of money as a medium of exchange, barley grain served as the accepted standard of value. The starchy grain known as spelt was indigenous in Mesopotamia, but was never as common or as important as barley. Following Alexander�s invasion of India in 320 BC, the Greeks mention the rice as being indigenous to India. Moreover Aristobulus, writing about 280 BC, notes that rice was grown in Babylonia.
Bread and onions formed the basic diet of the people of Assyria and Babylonia. The bread was sold by volume, which is some reason for thinking that it may have been a kind of crustless floury substance, like the Italian polenta. Bread was baked in the form in which it is still found in the East, namely, in a kind of lightly-cooked pancake, the two sides of which separate in the heat of the oven. Sticking flat pieces of dough to the walls of a hot brick oven to which they adhere until they are fully backed does this. It is possible too that the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians ate bread baked in the shape of large pancakes on a convex metal surface. This is placed slantwise over the fire with the curved surface upward and the extremely thin layer of dough bakes very quickly. The onion was regarded as a peasant food. Accounts dating from the 3rd Dynasty of Ur (early 2nd millennium BC) state that on one day each month various persons received a ration of about a �gallon� of bread and some onions. They were usually eaten raw with bread and were sold in strings. Gardens in fertile Mesopotamia flourished, and onion leeks and garlic were amongst the most frequently cultivated plants. They were grown in the gardens of King Merodach-Baladan II of Babylon, and Ur-Nammu of Ur (2100 BC) records that by constructing a temple to Nannar he saved his garden, wherein grew onions and leeks. A good meal consisted too of vegetables such as lentils which, like beans, have always been grown in the area, boiled millet, barley prepared as we prepare rice, and possibly maize; while some botanists have expressed the opinion that sorghum can be identified in the clumps of plants of the corn family depicted on certain Assyrian bas-reliefs. Other common vegetables included pumpkins, cucumbers and melons.
Whatever we choose to believe about the fungi�s nutritional value to the Mesopotamians, they knew both poisonous and edible mushrooms as well as truffles and have been appreciated there at least as early as 1800 BC, as letters found in excavations at Mari show. Locusts, then as now, were considered to be edible in the regions which lay in the path of the Assyrians� invasion, and a relief from Khorsabad (Dur Sharrukin) shows servants serving them on skewers, just as frogs are served in France today.
The varieties of fruit most commonly eaten, other than dates, included grenadines, medlars, apples, pears, apricots, plums, and pistachio nuts�varieties which flourished in Assyria. We do not know whether the Assyrians knew of the banana, but it is a least possible, for there are bas-reliefs which show, among the food on the tables, an object which appears to consist of a number of finger-like sections joined at their base, somewhat resembling a bunch of bananas. If so, they were probably brought from present day Syria, which was part of the Assyrian Empire, where bananas were grown on a large scale.
In conclusion, and speaking in general, it is truly amazing how little difference society in Assyria and Babylonia has changed its eating and diet habits for the last 3,000-4,000 years.

Mobile TV viewing on the up as consumers demand high speed Wi-Fi
22nd July 2015	News
More consumers are looking for high-speed internet access than ever before, according to the 2015 ARRIS Consumer Entertainment Index (CEI).
Nearly three quarters (73 per cent) of Wi-Fi users are now watching mobile TV once a week using mobile devices, such as tablets, while four out of five of those who stream content now do so on a weekly basis.
New research from the CEI has also found that the average home now has around six video devices connected to its Wi-Fi, as consumers demand Wi-Fi without limits.
In addition, more than 59 per cent of all people now watch TV on the go, thanks to its convenience and cost, while 72 per cent of consumers revealed it is more important for them to download content to a device rather than stream.
Sandy Howe, senior VP for global marketing at ARRIS, said: "The ARRIS CEI research offers our customers invaluable insight into the evolving consumer interaction with entertainment technology and content.
"All of these trends point to a tremendous opportunity for service providers and programmers to customise their offerings to these new consumer trends and to ensure the quality of the home's Wi-Fi network, which increasingly is bearing the weight of this evolution in services."
Other trends revealed include a rise in binge-viewing, with 60 per cent of consumers watching content alone.
This news comes as analyst Gartner forecasts a 59 per cent growth in mobile data worldwide in 2015.
Global mobile data traffic is estimated to reach 52 million terabytes (TB), which is expected to rise to 173 million TB by 2018.
Jessica Ekholm, research director at Gartner, added: "Mobile data traffic is soaring worldwide, more than tripling by 2018.
"New, fast mobile data connections (3G and 4G) will grow more slowly, from 3.8 billion in 2015 to 5.1 billion in 2018, as users switch from slower 2G connections and consume more mobile data."

Medicaid is the Hero in The HEROES Act
By: Mara Youdelman
Despite weeks of sheltering in place, coronavirus continues to ravage the country. Deaths continue to rise, testing is still in short supply, and the numbers of individuals filing for unemployment continue to rise
Medicaid has always served as the safety net for low-income and underserved individuals, providing comprehensive, affordable health care. It is needed now more than ever. The HEROES Act (Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act), introduced by Democrats in the House of Representatives earlier this week, includes a number of provisions to help Medicaid remains strong. Here's a short discussion of the major Medicaid-related provisions.
Enhanced Medicaid Funding
The HEROES Act includes more Medicaid funding, beyond what Congress has already provided. The HEROES Act increases federal Medicaid payments for health care services by 14%. So if the federal government usually pays 60% of a state's Medicaid costs, the state would get 74%. You can look at this chart to see what the federal government pays your state (the "FMAP"). That's a big lifeline for states!
Maintenance of Effort
Previous COVID-related legislation says states getting extra Medicaid money can't cut eligibility while receiving the money. This strong "Maintenance of Effort" requirement would apply to the new funding in the HEROES Act.
Unfortunately, the HEROES Act also includes an exemption for New York. This would especially hurt individuals getting home and community-based services. We don't think even one state should get more federal funds but cut people off of Medicaid.
Home and Community-Based Services
The HEROES Act includes more money to pay for home and community-based services. Federal funding would increase by 10%, in addition to the increased 14% above. But no state could get more than 95% of its costs paid by the federal government. The bill lists specific uses for the increased funding so states could not just use it for existing costs.
Unfortunately, the definition of eligible services excludes most community mental health services. We hope this will be fixed as the bill moves forward.
Medicaid Fiscal Accountability Rule (MFAR)
The bill delays the Administration's proposed MFAR. MFAR would drastically limit how states can fund their share of Medicaid costs. Our comments on the proposed rule explained how the changes could limit coverage and access to care for millions of people.
COVID-19 Treatment and Vaccinations
The bill adds payment for COVID-19 treatment and vaccinations in Medicaid and CHIP. A state would first have to choose to add Medicaid eligibility for the uninsured. And eligible people could not be charged any co-pays. The bill also amends the Pediatric Vaccines program to cover a COVID-19 vaccine for all children receiving vaccinations at no cost.
Medicaid serves as a critical program for people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals, and others who are often left behind when it comes to health care access. People of color are disproportionately infected and dying from COVID-19 due to factors including structural racism, underlying health conditions and being more likely to be an essential worker.
The bill includes a strong nondiscrimination provision and data collection and reporting requirements. And it gives more funding to care for Native Americans and to Medicaid hospitals serving a large share of Medicaid and uninsured individuals. It also restores Medicaid eligibility to individuals under Compacts of Free Association (COFA).
In addition to the Medicaid provisions, NHeLP supports many of the other heath and non-health provisions in the HEROES Act. We are in unprecedented times, and we need this unprecedented response. We look forward to working with Congress to enact this important legislation.

As modern homeowners, we are certainly used to a certain level of comfort and convenience in our homes. We have a lot of systems and appliances in place to ensure that we are able to enjoy those comforts and conveniences reliably. Of these systems and appliances, your water heater in Snellville, GA is certainly one of the most important. It's also one of the hardest working.
You definitely need to know that you have the right water heater in place and that it is functioning properly. How do you gain that level of confidence? By working with the water heater service professionals at Snellville Heating, Air and Plumbing. We pride ourselves on our integrity and honest, and we'll maintain an open line of communication to make sure that you are happy with every facet of our services.
Electric water heaters, including electric tank water heaters and tankless models.
Gas water heaters, including gas tank water heaters and tankless models.
Heat pump water heaters, which use a refrigerant cycle to make use of existing heat in the air.
Like all other plumbing appliances, all water heaters—tank and tankless, gas and electric, and heat pump models—have their pros and cons. The key to a successful experience isn't to find the "best" water heater, but the one that is best for your individual needs. Our comfort advisors are here to ensure that this is the case.
What is the major difference between a tank water heater and a tankless water heater? Well, obviously a tank water heater uses a hot water tank in order to store hot water. A tankless water heater does not, as it heats only the water that is called for as it passes through the system. What are the pros and cons of each system, you're probably wondering?
Tank water heaters are more dependable in instances when hot water is called for at multiple points of use all at once—provided that it is properly sized for your home and hot water demand. They are also more affordable upfront, though standby energy loss does occur. This is when heat from the water in the tank transfers out into the air surrounding it.
Tankless water heaters are a lot more expensive than tank water heaters. However, they also last longer and, as standby energy loss is eliminated, they tend to be more efficient. They may also be more easily overwhelmed when a lot of hot water is needed at once, as described above.
We'll answer any questions that you may have regarding your tank and tankless water heater options so that you can make a confident, informed decision. We are also happy to help you to decide if the efficiency of a heat pump water heater is something worth pursuing in your home. Contact our service professionals to complete your water heater installation in Snellville, GA properly. We are happy to handle any water heater replacement needs that you have for an old system, too.
Your water heater is going to require some routine maintenance, and our service professionals are ones to entrust with the job. From flushing the tank to changing the anode rod as necessary, it takes some effort to keep any water heater operating at peak performance and efficiency levels. We offer tankless water heater maintenance in addition to those services that tank and heat pump models require.
Even with a professional heat pump, tank, or tankless water heater installation, you are going to run into repair needs from time to time. If your system won't heat water reliably, is making strange sounds, or is causing your energy bills to soar, get in touch right away. It's always in your best interest to have your water heater repairs completed in a timely fashion.


Ack, I am in danger of becoming everything I hate!
Well, not quite. Not everything. But, while I was supposed to be typing up the boring AGM I had to sit and look clever during yesterday, I've been coming up with ideas for the as yet undetermined event I'm trying to organise and it is soooo hard not making it just a list of things to buy!
Also, I wouldn't want to get a Mooncup off Freecycle. That's one of the few things where the smell of fresh packaging is very welcome.
I want to inspire car shares, seed and plant swaps, toy libraries, craft groups, toolshares, but short of having a sheet where people can sign up, there's little we can do in advance.
And so all I seem to have is links to veg box schemes, times and locations of markets, food coops, the cycle shop, where you can buy vinegar in bulk, places that sell Ecover and people making and selling every type of reusable sanpro known to humanity. Citizens of Berkshire, part with your hard-earned cash and save the planet while feeling fuzzy inside!
Ah well, I'm working on part two, now, wrestling with Word* to create a calendar of seasonal veg and tips on cooking it, particularly the wintry stuff. If anyone has any inspiring ideas/recipes for potatoes, carrots, turnips, swede, kale, celeriac, cauliflower and broccoli (especially turnips as we vetoed them!!), no matter how simple, please leave them as a comment or email me, sproutingbroccoli at gmail dot com.
*Word, like most of Windows, seems to behave exceptionally well so long as what you want to do coincides exactly with what it thinks you want to do. As soon as you start to express your dissent, you suddenly find your sub-headings splattered across the screen. Blah.

Extremely frugal with food. Don't like meringues.	Hah!
hey Hamster, you're more than welcome to add me to your blog roll…you'd be the first as far as i know!!. i shall do the same with you!.
like the look of the new blog layout…shall have a good ole nose later when i have more time.
Great post and thanks for the mention. Have you had a look at The Rubbish Diet blog, which has loads of really useful suggestions?


One of the first things you'll notice when you set foot in a gym is that many people are toting around bottles filled with protein shakes. Should you be drinking protein? This post will give you the skinny on all things protein!
Your muscles are made up of protein. When we exercise, the dietary protein we eat has been shown to increase the building of these muscle proteins. Protein also helps prevent the loss of muscle during normal ageing. The daily recommended value for a 2000-calorie adult diet is 5.5 ounces of protein (or 2-3 servings).
Protein can be obtained through a wide variety of whole foods. These include meat, seafood, eggs, beans, nuts, and seeds. When getting your protein from meat, it is suggested that you consume lean meats (chicken, turkey, fish) as opposed to red meats or processed meats (deli meat, hot dogs, etc.). Red meats have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and cancer mortality, and processed meats typically have higher levels of harmful saturated fats. Eating fish has actually been associated with a decreased risk of heart attack—particularly oily fish like anchovies, herring, mackerel, salmon, sardines, and trout.
Aside from whole foods, you can also supplement your protein intake with powders—read more about them below!
There are several varieties of protein powder: casein, whey, and soy. Whey and casein are both milk proteins, while soy protein is isolated from the soybean. These three proteins differ both in their amino acid makeup (the building blocks of proteins) and their ability to be digested. One large study showed whey protein to be superior to casein and soy because it has high-quality amino acids and is absorbed quickly.
If you choose to go the protein powder route, there are many ways to mix them up. Some protein powders can be purchased in flavours like vanilla or chocolate, and you simply need to add water. You can also experiment with your own flavours. If you have a blender, chocolate peanut butter banana or strawberry vanilla are two great shakes to try!

You may have heard or read over the weekend about a Twitter war between Joe Scarborough of Morning Joe MSNBC and Sopan Deb, a CBS reporter, who claimed Joe "partied" all night with President Elect Trump at his Mar-A-Lago New Year's eve gathering in Florida. Joe claims he was only with Trump for about 20 minutes for an off the record interview. You can pretty much tell that Joe was pissed off by his 'several' remarks.
The most famous of all reporters and their news organizations have finally gone too far. They no longer can claim to be true reporters because they've become what I call, the Media Insiders or Double Agents. They get the scoops that they are given by those in power. They no longer dig for the scoops themselves, nor do they even bother to. They are such 'insiders' that all they need do is wait their turn for the media scoop of the week.
Years ago the media didn't attend social gatherings or parties or get invited to private "off the record" meetings. Those in the media had to actually work for their jobs, work for the scoops they reported on. Not anymore.
Somebody, don't know who started it, but somebody decided the best way to get the 'scoop' was to infiltrate the enemies home base; become friends with them while at the same time spy on them. In the very beginning this was a great idea. The People got the truth finally. Problem is, the spies themselves have become the story.
The spies stopped pretending. They found out they enjoyed the power the 'access' to the enemy gave them, so much so that they ended up doing favors for the enemy. Reporting what the the 'enemy' wanted them to report in exchange for a once in a blue moon scoop release to help them keep their jobs.
Anybody that is anybody in the news today is an example of what some call a Washington Insider.
The only way to stop this madness and for we the People to get the TRUTH is to stop these 'insiders'. Outsiders must begin to report on the Insiders. That includes cable and network stations, newspaper's owners, editors, staff and reporters.
People that are new in the business of reporting, that have no or little access to those they are reporting on need to join forces and go to war with those that have 'too much access'. They must remove the spies that have become Double Agents, sort of speak, reporters.
People like Joe and Mika of Morning Joe, Wolf Blitzer of CNN, Chuck Todd of MSNBC or Jake Tapper of CNN are all what I call Double Agents. They are in too deep with the enemy. They can no longer be trusted to get all the facts out.
Fortunately we still have a few people like Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC or Don Lemon of CNN that still push for the truth, those with very little access to the enemy. Any news organization that you watch or read that rarely has the 'big wigs' on their shows or the opposite political party on, are what I consider still 'safe'. They report the facts, with documentation. And if you simply don't like their reporting then send in your own recruits, just as long as they are not 'close friends' to those they are reporting on.
The idea of infiltrating the enemy no longer works – the reporter ends up working for the enemy. They will once in a while say a, not so nice thing, about their new 'boss' —just to appear biased. Example would be Joe's claim to attack the Trump campaign of being a racist and xenophobic last year. I've not heard one statement from them about the Trump administration since they won in November, have you? They even cut their guests off short if seen to be about to hurt Trump with a comment or fact. They are Double Agents. It's sad but true.
It's time for a Media War. Those of you that still believe in getting the truth out — go after your fellow reporters, show Americans who they really are. If nothing else, you will scare them into actually doing their jobs.


Frequently Asked Questions – We Have Answers!
Why should I choose Renu?
Because you will not be disappointed! Each massage therapist has their own distinctive style, and we are all uniquely different than the standard massage experience. Each therapist at Renu routinely receives work from other Renu therapists, and we can each personally vouch for each other's work. See why our clients keep telling us we are different in great ways!
Why else? So many reasons! We deliberately keep our overhead low by using a local Madison-based offsite receptionist service and using independent contractors who are available by appointment only. This way we can offer you every day low priced and top notch bodywork services. Since the therapists are contractors, they also get to keep much more of the service fee than do therapists at big chain type places. Everybody wins! Just don't forget we are by appointment only – we might not be available if you drop without an appointment.
It's always a great idea to arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled massage, spa or Reiki appointment time to keep us on track. If you are a new client, we'll have an intake form for you, so 10 minutes early would be ideal. If you arrive much more than 15 minutes early, we may not be done with our previous client or with our set up, lunch, break, etc., so the ideal time window is 5 – 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. If you do arrive 15 minutes early, you are certainly welcome to enjoy some tea in our Relaxation Room to prepare for your appointment. We encourage that pre-massage relaxation time!
In a typical full body massage, we will massage your neck, shoulders, back, arms, gluteal muscles through the sheets, legs, hands and feet. Facial and scalp muscles may be massaged upon request or at the therapist's discretion. Pectoral muscles may also be included if time allows or if specifically requested – we are able to access most of pec major while still keeping you comfortably draped. Pec minor may be accessed underneath the arm pit if it needs attention as well. If there is anything you want extra focus on or that you do not want to be massaged, just let us know! This is your session and you can tell us what your preferences are. We are also able to do abdominal massage including hip flexor muscles, though this is not typically part of the standard full body massage – if you would like that, please ask your therapist.
Massage therapists will often tell you to "dress at your comfort level" – what does that mean exactly? It means it is entirely up to you! You will be covered with a sheet and a blanket, and we will uncover just enough to work on each area at a time. We would like to have access to your neck, back, arms and legs, so bracelets and necklaces should be removed. Whether you choose to wear underwear or not is your personal preference and does not affect your massage unless your garments extend down to your thighs, in which case we won't be able to massage the quadriceps and hamstrings as fully, but that is your call. We have had clients who prefer to stay fully clothed and we can work with that – just let us know if that is your preference. Please ask your therapist if you have any questions on what to wear during the session.
What if I want more or less pressure during the session?
Please tell us! We will usually check in with you at some point during the session, but this is your time and you don't need to wait for your therapist to ask how things are going – we welcome your feedback and want to respond to your needs. We often read your nonverbal cues but we can't read your mind, so if the pressure is not to your liking, we want to know! You don't have to endure pain to accomplish healing, and you are welcome to ask for more pressure if you want it. We will do our very best to accommodate you. This goes for techniques too – if there is something you are not enjoying, we really do want to know before we end the session.
What types of conditions can massage help?
Repetitive stress injuries – anybody have texting tendonitis or tablet back?
What can we do with a 30 minute massage?
Thirty minutes is good for targeted work on a specific issue – neck, shoulders, low back, knee, feet, wrist, etc. We can definitely accomplish a lot therapeutically in 30 minutes, but it will be limited to your targeted area. If you're looking for a full body massage or if your goal is to relax, the 60 minute session is the better option to get the full benefits of relaxation to your nervous system. If you want a combination of relaxation and targeted therapeutic work, 90 minutes is your best bet, plus that's a great option if you like a completely thorough relaxation massage. Those 60 minutes do go quickly as we tend to all of your muscles! Any extra focus work in a 60 minute massage takes away from something else whereas the 90 minute session allows time to cover everything pretty well. Please make sure you tell us if there are any areas you want to make certain we give adequate attention to!
This will of course vary depending on the condition of your soft tissue, what your goals are, as well as your schedule and finances. If you are looking to make some headway on a specific problem, weekly for a month or so is a great way to retrain your muscles and reset your body, but lots of progress can still be made every two weeks and even monthly. Monthly massage is a wonderful way to maintain the health of your soft tissue and rebalance your energy with the meridian work that we do here at Renu.
I saw that cupping video… not sure what that's all about. Will my therapist want to do that?
Only if you want to! Each therapist here at Renu has been trained in cupping therapy, and several have also received additional education through the International Cupping Therapy Association and are Certified Cupping Therapists. It is one of the most effective means for treating deep and chronic soft tissue pain and is really great in any massage to loosen the fascia. It does not have to be painful to be effective, and it doesn't necessarily draw blood to the surface as shown in the video. This happens if the soft tissue has created a traffic jam of sorts within the muscle and blood, lymph, and toxins are not being circulated properly. Pulling them to the surface helps the body release the muscles and also process whatever was stuck within those restrictions. Massage cupping (moving a cup over the muscles rather than letting it sit) will not leave any marks, and it will feel great! Check out this article for more information.
Why do you want my email address & a credit card number when I schedule an appointment?
You will need to use your email address to create a log in using our online scheduling system. You will then receive an email confirmation of your appointment, any changes made to that appointment, and a reminder the day before your appointment. We will ask you for your email address if you book by phone so you will receive these confirmations and reminders. We do send emails for news, specials, and updates, but don't worry – we don't like getting junk email either!
As for the credit card, our therapists only get paid if they have clients since they are independent contractors. In the event of a no show or last minute cancellation, the therapist will get 50% of their scheduled service. Asking for a credit card to secure the appointment dramatically reduces of no shows that we see. Thank you for understanding!

A Batalha dos Guararapes foi um confronto militar travado em 18 e 19 de abril de 1648 e depois em 19 de fevereiro de 1649, entre o Exército da Holanda e as tropas do Império Português. As batalhas aconteceram no Morro dos Guararapes, localizado na atual Jaboatão dos Guararapes, município da Região Metropolitana do Recife, na então Capitania de Pernambuco, atual estado de Pernambuco. Ocorreu no âmbito da Guerra da Restauração da independência de Portugal face à Espanha, levando as tropas portuguesas a recuperar os territórios ultramarinos (coloniais) que haviam sido ocupados pelos holandeses durante o domínio espanhol, tal como o Nordeste do Brasil e o Litoral de Angola e Timor por exemplo.

A dupla vitória portuguesa, nos montes Guararapes, é considerada o episódio decisivo da Insurreição Pernambucana, que pôs fim às invasões holandesas no Brasil e ao chamado "Brasil Holandês" (Nova Holanda, para os holandeses), no . A assinatura da capitulação holandesa deu-se em 1654, no Recife, de onde partiram os últimos navios batavos em direção à Europa.

O primeiro confronto, em 19 de abril de 1648, no qual as tropas da resistência que lutavam contra os holandeses eram formadas maioritariamente por portugueses nascidos no Brasil (brasileiros brancos, negros e ameríndios) e também por militares portugueses nascidos na metrópole, teve o objetivo comum de expulsar os invasores holandeses. Apesar deste confronto militar ter sido em defesa do Império Português, do qual o Brasil fazia parte, a data foi simbolicamente adotada como marco oficial do surgimento do Exército Brasileiro.

Primeiro confronto
O primeiro confronto travado entre o exército da Holanda e os defensores do Império Português aconteceu em 18 e 19 de abril de 1648 no Morro dos Guararapes, Capitania de Pernambuco, Brasil Colonial.

Os holandeses planejavam reconquistar o Porto de Nazaré, no Cabo de Santo Agostinho, fundamental para o abastecimento do Arraial Velho do Bom Jesus, por onde entravam as armas e munições usados pela resistência luso-brasileira. Sob o comando do coronel Sigismundo de Schkoppe, os combatentes holandeses sabiam da importância estratégica de ocupar primeiro o povoado de Muribeca, onde havia grande quantidade de farinha de mandioca para abastecer os soldados.

Porém, os generais Fernandes Vieira e Vidal de Negreiros, sabendo dos planos de invasão, impediram a ação no Morro dos Guararapes, por onde os holandeses, vindos do Recife, teriam que passar para chegar a Muribeca. Este primeiro confronto terminou com vitória luso-brasileira, apesar do seu efetivo não passar de  homens, contra  do exército inimigo. O saldo da guerra foi de  holandeses mortos, sendo 180 oficiais e sargentos. Do lado luso-brasileiro, foram 84 mortos. O combate mais intenso durou cerca de cinco horas. No campo de batalha tombaram, além de holandeses e luso-brasileiros, ingleses, franceses, poloneses, negros africanos e índios tupis e tapuias. Muitos soldados holandeses afogaram-se em alagadiços nos arredores do Morro dos Guararapes. Debilitado para o combate, o exército da Companhia Holandesa das Índias Ocidentais não resistiu ao vigor, preparo e conhecimento do terreno dos luso-brasileiros. Nos momentos decisivos do confronto, os holandeses tentaram dominar o flanco ocupado pelos negros, comandados por Henrique Dias, mas as tropas comandadas por Vieira e Vidal vieram em seu auxílio, massacrando os holandeses. A segunda batalha aconteceria dez meses depois, em fevereiro de 1649, no mesmo local.

Segue um resumo da descrição do primeiro confronto, segundo Diogo Lopes Santiago, um cronista da guerra da época:

Tanto que nossa infantaria se escondeu nos mangues ao pé do último monte, Antônio Dias Cardoso ordenou a 20 de seus melhores homens que fossem com 40 dos índios de Filipe Camarão procurar o inimigo, que marchava do Recife pelo caminho dos Guararapes.

Na entrada dos montes, nossos 60 soldados atacaram a vanguarda holandesa e vieram se retirando sem dar costas ao inimigo, atraindo-o a uma passagem estreita entre os montes e o mangue, até poucos passos de onde estava o nosso exército. Do nosso lado houve certa confusão e opiniões de retirada frente àquele exército tão superior, mas os dois mestres de campo, João Fernandes Vieira e André Vidal de Negreiros, resolveram, conforme combinado, enfrentá-los ali, dando a primeira carga e investindo no inimigo à espada, mesmo que sob fogo dos mosquetes.

Marchou André Vidal pela baixa com o Camarão à sua direita pelo mangue. Vieira avançou pelo alto com Henrique Dias à sua esquerda. Aguardaram os nossos duas espantosas cargas de mosquetaria e artilharia sem da nossa parte se dar nenhum tiro, indo ao encontro do inimigo já bem perto. Neste tempo, por toda parte, disparou nosso fogo de uma só vez, causando grande dano e desorganização nos esquadrões inimigos. Logo os nossos sacaram as espadas e atacaram com tanto ímpeto e violência que não puderam os lanceiros conter os nossos de infiltrarem-se, matarem e destroçarem por meia hora, até que lhes pusessem em fuga.

Fugindo e descendo do monte, a seu pesar com mais presteza do que subira, os que escaparam de Dias e Vieira se juntaram aos que estavam em retirada pela campina pressionados por Vidal e Camarão. Ganhamos todos os canhões do inimigo e muita bagagem, motivo que levou muitos soldados ao saque e à euforia.

Como esperado em exércitos como aquele holandês, ter gente de reserva para situações difíceis lhes valeu um contra-ataque fulminante pegando nossos soldados desorganizados, além de exaustos, que se puseram em fuga monte abaixo.

A luta desesperada que seguiu daí pela defesa da passagem estreita (apelidada boqueirão) durou várias horas, com os oficiais (nossos e inimigos) no meio da ação. Acabamos por perder 4 das 6 peças da artilharia ganha. Por fim, o campo ficou nosso e o alto dos montes do inimigo.

O general holandês, gravemente ferido no tornozelo, determinou a retirada durante a noite deixando dois canhões apontados para o boqueirão, disfarçando seu recuo para o Recife.

Segundo confronto

O segundo confronto entre o exército da Holanda e os defensores do Império Português ocorreu no mesmo local, no Morro dos Guararapes, em 19 de fevereiro de 1649.

Foi vencida pelos portugueses e destaca-se como episódio decisivo na Guerra da Restauração e particularmente na Insurreição Pernambucana, que culminou no término das Invasões holandesas do Brasil, no . A assinatura da capitulação deu-se em 1654, no Recife, de onde partiram os últimos navios holandeses em direção à Europa.

Segue um resumo da descrição da batalha segundo o cronista contemporâneo Diogo Lopes Santiago (in História da Guerra de Pernambuco, livro 5, capítulo V: ...Da Famosa Vitória que os Portugueses Alcançaram...):

Havendo aprestado as coisas necessárias, o exército holandês saiu do Recife em 18 de fevereiro de 1649, com cinco mil homens de guerra, todos soldados experientes, com que fazia mais forte o poder que o da batalha passada. Traziam também 200 índios, duas companhias de negros e 300 marinheiros que se dispuseram a enfrentar a luta na campanha; 6 canhões, 12 bandeiras, trombetas, caixas e clarins. Posto que não lustrosos com as golas e enfeites que da primeira vez traziam, vinham com longas lanças com as quais andaram treinando para defender a integridade dos esquadrões contra os ataques infiltrados de nossa infantaria.

No tempo que chegou nosso exército ao primeiro monte já estava o inimigo formado em todos os outros e na baixa (boqueirão) onde havia ocorrido o principal da batalha anterior. Mandou Francisco Barreto de Meneses fazer alto e tomou conselho por onde haveriam de buscar a luta, se pela frente, se pela retaguarda ou se pelos lados. André Vidal de Negreiros e Francisco Figueroa deram votos que fosse pela frente, mas João Fernandes Vieira, que vinha com o grosso da gente, deu parecer contrário: que se buscasse o inimigo pela retaguarda (como na 1ª batalha) uma vez que onde estavam não tinha água e deveriam acampar com algum conforto ao fim da tarde, deixando o holandês à espera.

Concordou Francisco de Meneses com este último parecer e assim mandou seguirem a um engenho ali perto onde repousaram e traçaram o plano do ataque, pelo que se concordou em iniciar a ação tão logo abandonasse o inimigo suas posições, para qualquer rumo que fosse.

No dia 19, das 13h00 para as 14h00 (castigado pelo sol), tanto que foram os holandeses desocupando o alto dos montes para formarem um grande esquadrão na direção do Recife, nosso exército iniciou a aproximação.

João Fernandes Vieira com 800 de seus homens foi o primeiro a entrar na luta, bem no meio da área que chamavam boqueirão, onde o inimigo tinha 6 esquadrões e duas peças de artilharia. Após 25 min de cargas de fogo, João Fernandes tentou cortar a formação holandesa pelo alagado. Sem sucesso, de volta à posição inicial, pediu a todos que investissem à espada após uma última carga na cara do inimigo, e assim foi ganho o boqueirão à espada (apesar da brava resistência dos lanceiros holandeses), onde conquistamos 2 canhões de campanha.

Nesta altura já estavam em luta todos os nossos vindo pelo alto e fraldas do último monte: Henrique Dias, Diogo Camarão, Francisco Figueroa, André Vidal, Dias Cardoso e a cavalaria de Antônio Silva. Tomado o monte central e suas 4 peças de artilharia, bem como as tendas do comandante holandês Van den Brinck (que foi morto na ocasião), os portugueses pressionaram os inimigos até sua desintegração e fuga para Recife, sendo perseguidos por nossos cavaleiros exaustos; muitos fugiram para os matos, outros se entregaram implorando pelas vidas.

Perdas holandesas e portuguesas na segunda batalha

Quanto às perdas sofridas pelos holandeses às mãos dos portugueses, existe um documento contemporâneo publicado em Viena, no próprio ano da batalha (1649), por um autor anónimo, em  alemão e traduzido para castelhano sob o título Relación de la Victoria que los Portugueses de Pernambuco Alcançaron de los de la Compañia del Brasil en los Garerapes 19 de Febrero de 1649, onde se afirma que:

A derrota foi cruel e sangrenta, e os portugueses, matando a todos os que encontravam, continuaram a vitória pelo espaço de duas léguas, até à Barreta, onde o General deixou algumas  companhias para impedir o passo aos fugitivos. Cansados todos, uns de fugir, e outros de matar e vencer. E pelo espaço de três dias andaram os portugueses dando morte e cativando aos que se tinham retirado e escondido naqueles bosques e montanhas.

Nesta admirável vitória perderam os holandeses mais de 2 500 homens, entre mortos e presos, com quase todos os cabos e oficiais do seu exército, escapando só dois mestres de campo, um deles ferido na garganta, um Sargento Maior e quatro Capitães, mil soldados e cerca de 500 feridos.

Morreram o Coronel Brinck, que os governava, dois mestres de campo, o Almirante da Armada que havia desejado participar na batalha, com muitos outros capitães de navios, e oficiais da artilharia. Prisioneiros 110, em que entraram alguns cabos, e entre eles, o Regedor Pedro Poty, o que tornou a vitória mais gostosa (...).

Tomaram os portugueses as seis peças de campanha de bronze, toda a bagagem, munições e armas, porque os fugitivos as deixavam, para correr com menos embaraço, e de doze bandeiras que traziam, só duas voltaram ao Recife.

A relação impressa na Holanda diz que perderam 151 oficiais, e mais de mil soldados entre mortos e presos, mas as cartas escritas do Recife a este país, repetem o referido; e ainda que digam, para diminuir em parte a glória que os portugueses conseguiram, que foi uma emboscada, e não em batalha renhida, não deixam todos de confessar, ficaram desbaratados com perda tão assinalável.

 Dos Portugueses morreram o Sargento Maior Paulo de Cunha Souto Maior, o Capitão de Cavalos Manuel de Araújo de Miranda, pessoas de conhecido valor, quarenta e cinco soldados, e cerca de 200 feridos, um deles o Governador Henrique Dias e dez oficiais menores. Como também os Mestres de Campo André Vidal de Negreiros, e João Fernandes Vieira, saíram com os sinais de duas balas (...).

Heróis da Pátria

A Lei nº 12.701, de 6 de agosto de 2012, determinou que os nomes dos principais personagens luso-brasileiros na batalha fossem inscritos no Livro de Heróis da Pátria (conhecido como "Livro de Aço"), depositado no Panteão da Pátria e da Liberdade Tancredo Neves, um cenotáfio que homenageia os heróis nacionais localizado na Praça dos Três Poderes, em Brasília.

Stephen Hawking Warns: 'We're At Most Dangerous Moment In History Of Humanity!'
Stephen Hawking has a new chilling warning for humanity!
The rise of the new worldwide Nationalism and Britain's Brexit vote come at "the most dangerous time in the history of the human race," according to the physicist Stephen Hawking.
The Cambridge professor said the political shift shows the majority of people are sick of the status quo and felt they had been "abandoned by their leaders."
"It was, everyone seems to agree, the moment when the forgotten spoke, finding their voices to reject the advice and guidance of experts and the elite everywhere.
"For me, the really concerning aspect of this is that now, more than at any time in our history, our species needs to work together," he added.
Hawking says the world is facing crippling challenges, including climate change, food production, overpopulation, the decimation of other species, epidemic disease and acidification of the oceans.
"Together, they are a reminder that we are at the most dangerous moment in the development of humanity.
"We can do this [overcome the challenges], I am an enormous optimist for my species; but it will require the elites, from London to Harvard, from Cambridge to Hollywood, to learn the lessons of the past year. To learn above all a measure of humanity."
He added: "We now have the technology to destroy the planet on which we live, but have not yet developed the ability to escape it.
"Perhaps in a few hundred years, we will have established human colonies amid the stars, but right now we only have one planet, and we need to work together to protect it."
Hawking also warned that artificial intelligence and increasing automation is going to decimate middle class jobs and worsen inequality, and risks creating significant political upheaval.
"The automation of factories has already decimated jobs in traditional manufacturing, and the rise of artificial intelligence is likely to extend this job destruction deep into the middle classes, with only the most caring, creative or supervisory roles remaining.
"With not only jobs but entire industries disappearing, we must help people to retrain for a new world and support them financially while they do so," he added.
