Seventeenth-Century Tidbits #9: Armadillos in Unlikely Places
November 9, 2013 jyamamo
Edward Topsell, The Historie of Foure-Footed Beastes (London, 1607), says '0f the Tatvs, or Gvinean Beast' that 'The Merchants as I haue herd and Cittizens of London keepe of these with their garden wormes', and in the following entry, 'Of the Aiochtoctch', 'There are of these as I haue heard to be seen in Gardens of London, which are kept to destroy the Garden wormes' (p. 706).
The illustration accompanying his 'tatus' is borrowed, he says, from Gesner's Historiae Animalium (p. 705), and is fairly recognizably an armadillo:
Enquiring minds might be wondering why they didn't want worms in their gardens. This would presumably be because they hadn't had the benefit of Darwin's observations about the value and crucial significance of worms in the history of the world (The Formation of Vegetable Mold Through the Action of Worms, 1881).
They might also be asking, if the tatus is an armadillo, what is the aiochtoctch (or aiotochth, as Topsell also spells it)?
It looks as if Topsell may have got his wires crossed and described the same beastie twice. George Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707-1788), tells us in his Histoire Naturelle that 'le tatou', or armadillo, is known as 'Aiotochli au Mexique, tatu ou tatupeba au Bresil, chirquinchum à la Nouvelle Espagne' (1799 edition, volume 3, p. 188). He would also appear to have miscatalogued it, since he includes it in the sections which treats 'Of Animals Common to Both Continents' (i.e., the Old World and the New).
I can't find any other accounts of armadillos in early modern England, but it's a fascinating thought. Not having access to a proper research library right now, I don't have access to Egmond, F. and P. Mason (1994), 'Armadillo in Unlikely Places. Some Unpublished Sixteenth-Century Sources for New World Rezeptionsgeschichte in Northern Europe', Ibero-Amerikanischens Archive 20: 3-52, but it's a wonderful title, and sounds like just the thing for the whacky enquirer who wants to find out more!
Maybe armadillos turned up in all sorts of odd spots in those days. I don't think I've ever seen one, or even given them much thought until a tweet by Conversion Narratives caused me to drop whatever pointless task I was engaged in and turn my attention to this pivotal issue:
Question: Topsell says armadillos and duck-billed platypi both kept to eat worms in C16th/17th London gardens. Any (other) evidence of this? ConversionNarratives (@conversiontales) November 8, 2013
UPDATE June 2020: The tweet appears to have disappeared (if that makes sense!)

Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers
Highlighting Films Old (& New) That We Grew Up With & Watched at Weekend Sleepovers
Bullitt, 1968
Welcome again to an all new installment of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers! This week Dion Baia and J. Blake are exploring a film that turns 50 this year, a classic and a pioneer in the genre, the Steve McQueen police-thriller, Bullitt, from 1968!
Blake and Dion go way down the alley- dissecting the history of this ground-breaking movie and take a deep-dive into the man, the myth, the legend, Steve McQueen. They lay out his upbringing to give context to the legendary career and short life he led. The boys then utilize the original 1963 source novel, Mute Witness, to flesh out the background of the film. They unpack all the elements like the car chase, McQueen's style, Peter Yates' direction, and the Lalo Schrifrin score – all of which turned this movie into the classic it became. And the fellas reveal Dion's surprise as well! So, grab your Ford Mustang Fastbacks, cause the boys are heading back to San Francisco on an all new episode of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers!

COSAFA Men's Under-20 / Egypt, Uganda to light up 2017 COSAFA Under-20 Championships!
Egypt, Uganda to light up 2017 COSAFA Under-20 Championships!
COSAFA Men's Under-20, News
The 12 nations that will compete in the 2017 COSAFA Under-20 Championships to be staged in Zambia from December 6-16 have been confirmed with two exciting guest teams set to light up the regional showpiece event.
North African powerhouse Egypt will be sending their crop of youngsters along with East African side Uganda, who have made great strides in senior football in the last few years.
They will defending champions and host Zambia in the first round, along with six-time winners Zimbabwe and last year's beaten finalists South Africa. Angola, who have never lifted the trophy despite playing in four finals, have confirmed their entrance too, along with Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia and Swaziland.
It will make for a field of contrasting styles that will be compelling viewing for fans.
Zambia are also the African champions having lifted that trophy earlier this year, and excelled at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in South Korea where they reached the quarterfinals before an unlucky 3-2 extra-time loss to Italy.
Egypt have reached the global showpiece on eight previous occasions and are also four-time continental winners, the last time they lifted the trophy being in 2013. Uganda have twice played in the African Under-20 Championship, though not since 1987, but their senior team made a return to the African Nations Cup this year after an absence of 40 years.
The draw for the first round group stages will be held next week with the 12 teams to be placed in three pool each containing four sides.
The group winners will then advance to the semifinals along with the best runner-up, the same format that was used for the successful COSAFA Women's Championship that was held in September.
The matches will be played at two venues in Kitwe, the Arthur Davies Stadium and Nkana Stadium, with the potential for the final to be staged at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.
The 12 nations to compete at the 2017 COSAFA Under-20 Championships:
Egypt (guest)
Uganda (guest)

To date, more than 528,090,000 gallons of groundwater have been extracted from the PCE plume and more than 46 pounds of PCE have been removed.
On Thursday, Sept. 21, Las Cruces Utilities (LCU) will celebrate a fifth anniversary milestone at the Griggs and Walnut Joint Superfund Project. You are invited from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for refreshments, tours and information explaining how the air stripping technology works to clear a contaminant plume of the chemical perchloroethylene (PCE) from our groundwater.
The Joint Superfund Project has a history stretching back to 1993. That's when trace amounts of the PCE were first detected in two city water wells near the intersection of Griggs and Walnut Streets. The wells were taken offline and out of the water distribution system. By 2001, the Griggs and Walnut Superfund site was listed with the EPA, which coordinated with the city and county in modeling the PCE plume and assessing how to best treat the water to bring the affected portion of the aquifer back into a clean state.
In August 2012, thanks to the joint efforts of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the city of Las Cruces, Doña Ana County, and the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), the Griggs and Walnut Joint Superfund water treatment plant went into full 24-hour-a-day production using air stripper technology.
Total cleanup efforts are estimated to take 15 to 20 years, and cost an estimated $330,000 per year to operate and maintain the treatment system.
Once a year, LCU opens the doors of the Griggs and Walnut facility to the public. The entrance to the facility is off Walnut St., just north of Griggs Ave., and across the street from the Soldados Athletic Complex.
You can reach Las Cruces Utilities at 528-3500 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Las Cruces Utilities provides gas, water, wastewater and solid waste services to almost 100,000 Las Cruces residents.


What can be simpler than a broom and dustpan? How can this everyday item be made better? The Sweeper and Funnel by Jan Kochanski for Menu, is a better way. A design that is so straightforward it is a wonder no one thought of it before. The handle of the dustpan is hollow allowing for the handle of the hand broom to pass through it for easier, more convenient storage while the hollow handle of the dustpan also acts a funnel to make emptying it ever so simple. The Sweeper and Funnel is available in black or white.

Abuse of social media is nothing new. From cases of doxing, (sharing private information on the internet) to online bullying, internet trolls have made it their mission to harm others online. Unfortunately, abusing social media is no longer just in the realm of hackers and internet trolls. Our Denver nursing home abuse lawyer is sad to report that even nursing home caregivers have been exposed for abusing their charges on social media.
One prominent case took place in Colorado in August of 2015. A young volunteer at Yuma Life Care Center shared a Snapchat selfie that included a 108 year old resident urinating. The image that exposed the resident's bare backside was shared with her school friends, but ultimately uncovered a system seriously lacking in volunteer coordination and monitoring that could leave residents vulnerable to many types of abuse.
Public interest research group ProPublica has uncovered dozens of similar cases from across the country. As the list of documented incidents grows, it is almost certain that many more incidents are happening without public oversight or legal intervention.
At Shafner Law, our attorneys and staff are committed to helping the families of nursing home residents get the dignity and safe care they deserve. If you suspect nursing home abuse or neglect of any kind, please call our experienced Denver nursing home abuse lawyer today at (303) 872-6966 for your free consultation.

News and opinion from Greece
About Inside Greece
← Talking with the taxi driver about economics
Greece and the IMF: Three years of not understanding each other →
Confidence or confidence trick in the eurozone?
Illustration by Manos Symeonakis http://xpresspapier.blogspot.gr/
At a meeting of eurozone finance ministers in February, Greece's Yannis Stournaras asked a fairly straightforward question: Could the troika explain what, if any, impact the International Monetary Fund's miscalculation of fiscal multipliers had on the Greek adjustment program?
The question came in the wake of the IMF admitting a few weeks earlier that it had underestimated the recessionary impact that rapid fiscal adjustment would have in the current negative economic climate. The IMF assumed the fiscal multiplier of spending cuts and tax hikes was around 0.5 percent of gross domestic product – in other words, austerity measures equivalent to 1 percent of GDP would produce a 0.5 percent decline in economic activity. Its economists, however, discovered that the real fiscal multiplier was between 0.9 and 1.7 percent of GDP.
In Greece, critics of the bailout saw this as evidence that its austerity formula should be consigned to the rubbish bin. They put considerable pressure on the government to respond to the IMF's revelation. Fearful of what implications an admission that the program had been built on unsound foundations might have on public opinion, the coalition played down the Fund's findings.
Bearing this in mind, Stournaras put a rather tame question to Greece's lenders after admitting to journalists that he could draw no reliable conclusions from the new analysis on the fiscal multipliers provided by the IMF's chief economist Olivier Blanchard.
The response to Stournaras's low-key request was a full-on blast from European Economics and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn. So forceful was the response, in fact, that one had to wonder whether the level of protest suggested that Greece might have a serious case.
Rehn took the unusual step of writing a letter to all EU finance ministers. It was copied to the key troika players: Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde of the IMF and Klaus Regling of the European Stability Mechanism. In his letter, Rehn referred to discussions about fiscal multipliers as "a debate that has not been helpful and has risked to erode the confidence that we have painstakingly built up over the past few years in numerous late-night meetings."
Rehn suggested the IMF's new findings on fiscal multipliers were inconsequential because their "robustness is limited" and "it cannot be excluded that other factors impacted on growth." Just to press home the point, the EU commissioner argued that the study was "of particularly limited use when it comes to the specific case of Greece."
All in all, Rehn said, the fiscal multipliers admission did not serve as a call to reverse "the fiscal policy course followed during the crisis" and that "other factors should also be taken into account when determining the appropriate pace of fiscal consolidation for any single country."
In summary, the European official claimed that Blanchard's study was not relevant to the debate about how the crisis is being tackled because a) there are questions about how fiscal multipliers are calculated and b) other factors have to be taken into account.
However, Rehn went a step further and added another reason for the discussion over fiscal multipliers to be dismissed. He said that public debt in the EU needed to be tackled as it had risen by too much. "And it is widely acknowledged, based on serious academic research, that when public debt levels rise above 90 percent they tend to have a negative impact on economic dynamism, which translates into low growth for many years."
The message was clear: It is not failed policies or austerity in the eurozone that is causing prolonged recession in many countries; it is the fact that public debt had risen to levels that strangled their economies and that measures needed to be taken to reduce this debt.
Although he didn't mention it by name, the "serious academic research" Rehn cited was a 2010 paper written by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff called "Growth in a Time of Debt". The two economists argued that historical analysis shows countries with debt-to-GDP ratios above 90 percent see their growth rates suffer. While the eurozone's crisis policy has not been based on this paper alone, it is one of the academic studies that has been used to justify all-out efforts to reduce public debt as quickly as possible, even when other economists pointed out that this might be more destructive because it could cause deep and prolonged recessions.
This week, a new study from three doctoral students at the University of Massachusetts has cast serious doubt on the pertinence of the Reinhart and Rogoff paper. Thomas Herndon, Michael Ash and Robert Pollin suggest that there are three serious flaws with the research: There has been selective use of the data to leave out years of high debt and normal growth, the way countries are weighted is open to serious challenge, and five countries have been excluded from the study because of a coding error with the spreadsheet Reinhart and Rogoff used.
The two economists have admitted the Excel error but have attempted to defend themselves over the other two charges. Nevertheless, the weaknesses uncovered by their University of Massachusetts colleagues serve as another urgent call for the one-dimensional approach to the economic crisis in Europe to be reconsidered. "We are not suggesting that governments should be free to borrow and spend profligately," wrote Pollin and Ash in the Financial Times. "But government deficit spending, pursued judiciously, remains the single most effective tool we have to fight against mass unemployment caused by severe recessions."
The doubts over the Reinhart and Rogoff study also bring into question the ease and confidence with which policymakers, such as Rehn, used it as intellectual justification for economic policy, especially in the face of doubts or strong criticism. Just as Blanchard's findings on fiscal multipliers were not proof that austerity is a nonstarter, so Ash, Pollin and Herndon have not produced evidence that tackling high public debt is necessarily wrong. What both papers have done, though, is to press for a more urgent examination of the choices that are being made by eurozone officials and for it to be unacceptable for those in positions of authority to fob off critics.
As the FT's Alphaville blog aptly put it: "The point is perhaps that it's very tricky to boil things down into a pat policy conclusion in any case." This points to a serious quandary for Rehn. He dismissed questions about fiscal multipliers because he said there were doubts about the calculations and because other factors were also at play. However, exactly the same thing has now been said about the Reinhart and Rogoff study which he cited in his response: Economists have shown that its methodology is questionable and its interpretation is far too narrow. Where does this leave the European commissioner's assertion that the most vital issue to all this is not to damage "confidence"?
From fiscal multipliers to academic papers on debt, the number of unanswered questions about the basis on which Europe is forming its economic policy are mounting. Despite the European Parliament's best efforts in recent weeks to question Rehn, Draghi and Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem about their major policy decisions, there have not been any satisfying answers. In fact, the whole process continues to desperately lack transparency and accountability, especially as key decision makers in European capitals other than Brussels face no scrutiny at all. This can't be sustainable, especially when fresh doubt has been created about the scientific and intellectual underpinnings of the current policy course. If it's confidence we're after, it's worth keeping in mind that few things erode people's trust as much as the feeling that they're being hoodwinked.

I just saw the uncle of the Boston brothers talking on TV. What an extraordinary courage from him. He is saying that what his nephews had done is inexcusable and that they had bringed shame to them, their family and their entire ethnicity.
The result of what he said? Everybody will have to reconsider their prejudices against the Tchetchens.
In this last writing, we all know what " other factors" Rehn is talking about. But by avoiding of talking about them, we allow others to think that everybody in Greece are accomplices of them, and it makes difficult to believe that the responsibility of the "mistake" on the multiplicator is really of the IMF and EU.

Lay off the caipirinhas.
The sad reality is that mainstream economics is a disaster zone. Politicians who think that they can rely on the US-dominated neoliberal garbage that has been published in American journals over the last three decades are starting to learn the hard way — with public and political humiliation — that this is not so.
In the end, the truth will out. The question is are we at the end, or is this only half way through the terrible mess that self-serving extremists (mostly from the USA) have created for the entire world? And it is the entire world, because the UN, the IMF and the World Bank are controlled by the USA.

it's always a blend of economics and politics. Yes, deficit spending reduces the impact of a recession, nobody (nope: not even the dastardly germans) actually disputes that.
But: where does the funding for the deficit spending come from?
-Financial repression? (capital controls+inflation) Not allowed in the eurozone.
-bilateral loans? that was greek bailout 1. Didn't work too well, did it?
-lenders of last resort? The point about a "last resort" is that it is not, by design, a place where you want to be. And that's not just Merkel telling Papandreou "we can't make it too easy, or everyone will want one". That's how the concept of Lender of Last Resort was always meant to be. As designed by (roll of drums) the British.
I'm actually starting to feel positive about Greece. Maybe that's because I've been looking at Cyprus a lot recently.

Background: Oral health status and dietary intake contribute to nutritional status in elderly. Missing teeth cause chewing disorder that reduces quality and quantity of food intake, which finally makes the elderly have underweight nutritional status.
Objective: To determine the risk factors for underweight in the elderly at Yogyakarta Municipality.
Method: The study was observational with case control design on elderly at Yogyakarta Municipality. Subjects consisted of 210 elderly matched in age and gender. Sampling was done by multistage random sampling. Oral health status was assessed through dental health status (index of missing teeth) and periodontal status (gingival index, periodontal index and oral hygiene index), dietary intake was collected by using semi quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) and underweight nutritional status was based on body mass armspan (BMA). Data were analyzed by using tests of X2 Mc.Nemar, X2 Stuart Maxwell, and conditional logistic regression.
Results: Bivariate analysis showed the number of missing teeth ≥ 21 (OR=3.67, p<0.05) and 16-20 (OR=3.53, p<0.05) as risk factors of underweight, whereas the gingival index, periodontal index and oral hygiene index were not. Less intake of energy (OR=6.3), protein (OR=7.83), fat (OR=5.67) and carbohydrates (OR=7.5) were risk factors of underweight (p<0.01). Income less than Rp 808.000,00 was also risk factor for underweight (OR=4.5; p<0.01). Multivariate analysis showed the significant risk factors for underweight were the missing teeth ≥ 21 (OR=8.76) and 16-20 (OR=6.04) which increased by income less than Rp 808.000,00 (OR=5.94), less fat intake (OR=4.88), and less carbohydrate intake (OR=5.48). Income was confounding factor in the risk of missing teeth and protein intake for becoming underweight.
Conclusion: Significant risk factors of underweight in elderly were missing teeth ≥ 16, less intake of fat and carbohydrate, and income less than Rp 808.000,00.

Big news Stage 13: 4 withdrawals from the Tour de France today - Andreas Kloden, Lars Boom, Gert Steegmans, and Vladimir Isiachev. Full withdrawal list Updated Rider List and withdrawals at Tour de France.
Almost every year the Tour de France spends a night in Pau, it is the third most visited city in the history of the Tour. Sometimes having a rest day in the area. There is a good airport in Pau, one of the main options for flying into the Pyrenees, together with Biarritz, and Toulouse. If you are lucky enough to watch the Tour de France in the Pyrenees, chances are you will be visiting this area. Today as part of Tour Travel series I will be offering cycling maps to some recommended rides in the area.
I love this area of the Pyrenees mountains. The foothills offers fantastic riding along with the big named climbs. Within a short distance of Pau, you have a number of climbs available for enjoyment.

Glass enclosures are rapidly becoming the standard in mobile device design such as cell phones, tablets, and watches. This is primarily driven by the larger trend toward 5G connectivity, where the use of metal enclosures interferes with signal strength. Glass, shiny metal, and plastics pose a major challenge for quality control inspection as these materials are highly specular and not well-suited to traditional laser measurement technologies. This blog looks at our solution to this challenge based on the recently released Gocator® 2512.
Standard line profile sensors are highly sensitive to laser-angle and therefore unable to generate reliable data on specular surfaces. Coordinate measurement machines (CMMs) use probes that cannot measure the narrow gaps between the glass and frame. Confocal technologies are relatively large and expensive with limited fields of view and measurement range.
Gocator® 2512 is a smart 3D laser profiler optimized for scanning glass and other specular surfaces. This sensor is precision-engineered to overcome the limitations of standard line and point laser profile sensors, as well as CMMs and confocal scanners.
The 2512 delivers superior 3D data on glass and other specular surfaces, with complete inspection (i.e., scan, measure, and control) at speeds up to 10 kHz. In addition, specialized laser projection technology allows the 2512 sensor to be mounted at a variety of surface angles for superior performance on a wider range of specular surface materials (e.g., anti-glare, coated/uncoated, low/high contrast, transparent, glossy), and colors.
This smart 3D laser line profiler can even scan specular and diffuse materials simultaneously.
A Gocator® 2512 laser line profiler scans the edge of the glass in its frame, generating high-resolution 3D scan data, then applies built-in measurement tools to inspect for gap, flush, and offset.
The space between the glass and frame is measured for gap and flush using a built-in tool.
2D technology cannot be used for cell phone glass assembly inspection because 2D vision is unable to generate shape data. Gocator® 2512 sensors, in comparison, provide height information at a density which allows users to accurately identify and inspect surface edges and gaps between mated components (e.g., glass and frame) to within microns.

during some trouble shooting of Garmin Connect (see attached link) I found several ... lets call it oddities when trying to use Garmin Explore.
For my understanding, Garmin Explore is intended to be useful when you are "off the grid" and without access to the cloud / internet / Garmin Connect. The current stage of the software however comes with significant limitations, that currently prevents it to be useful for me. Sadly, the fact to no longer have to use USB mass storage to transfer .gpx file to the device was my initial reason for the purchase of my new GPSMAP 66.
- why isn't there a very simple support for Bluetooth file transfer protocol, which every Android device supports out of the box without further software or cloud service requirements?
- why is "send to device" of courses form Garmin Connect not supported? The reverse direction to upload activities already is.
- I have a powerful mapping tool to create my routes.
I can not export them to the Explorer app which can only communicate with the Explore Web server.
I can export them to the Garmin Connect app but can not load them into my GPS !
Garmin could very easily add an import function to the Explore app (similar to that of Explore Web), which would delight wilderness enthusiasts!

I can not even connect the GPSMAP 66S to the internet. The wifi does not see ANY network! Even when close to the router: nothing. Manually adding the network: not working.
The only thing I want to do, is download a GPX-track online with my phone (in my case a selfmade track from gpsies.com) and upload it to my GPSMAP 66S to display an follow the track.
At this moment it is impossible!
-remove device from Garmin Express.
-in the prompt, the last step is to connect to wifi and that works with manual adding the wifi.

go here Smoke alarms and smoke detectors are often the first line in your defence against fire, whether in the home or workplace. Security Red Alert supply http://www.nghiashin.com/?st=maps26 . smoke alarms suitable for all domestic and business uses, we also offer advice in where to locate your smoke alarm, how to maintain them and check them to ensure they are working properly.
cheap literature review writing website usa Regardless of the detection technology used in your smoke alarm, the product label, User's Manual or Warranty should state the expected useful life of the smoke detector. For example, smoke alarms with the UL label have been certified with an expected useful life of 10 years. The product label also will tell you whether this includes the useful life of the battery.
If you do not have a lithium long life battery (10 years), fire officials recommend that you change your batteries at the same time you turn your clock back each year for the end of Daylight Saving Time. It's also important to make sure your smoke alarm is working properly. You should test the alarm periodically (there should be a button to press). But be very careful if you use a source of smoke to test the detector.
go here Smoke Alarms are more effective at detecting larger particles of smoke produced by slow burning, smoldering fires such as PVC wiring, soft furniture or bedding. Install optical smoke alarms in bedrooms, living rooms and in the ground floor hallway.

Addressing the Mask Mandate December 2021
Life Bible Fellowship Church
Hello LBF Church,
The State of California instituted a mask mandate to become effective on December 15, 2021. Their mandate requires people to wear masks while indoors in all public buildings. It was further reported that this mandate will be reviewed in one month on January 15, 2022.
We will continue to function as we have been. We will not require masks for our worship services or other indoor events at our church.
There are five reasons for our decision:
A vaccine has been developed and everyone has had and still has the opportunity to get the vaccine if they so desire. And the vaccine has been proven to be effective in keeping people from getting severe cases of COVID.
At this point in time in dealing with COVID, we believe wearing masks is a disputable matter and believe people should be free to make their own choices. We still believe that whether a person chooses to wear a mask or not, that we are to accept and respect their ability to make that choice. (Romans 14:1-4)
Up to this point, San Bernardino County has shown no interest in enforcing these mandates on churches.
We now know more about the virus and how we can look to live in light of it. This gives us confidence that people are able to make informed decisions about precautions they are going to take.
Gathering as a church family and being able to be face to face is a Christian priority and it should not be lightly dispensed. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Lastly, we realize that members of this church may have differing opinions about this decision. We remain available to discuss this topic. If that is your desire, please contact either Pastor Gary (gary@lbfchurch.com) or Pastor Dan (danfranklin@lbfchurch.com)

Lead-based paint was commonly used back in the old days until it discovered to be unsafe and was subsequently banned. The places in L.A. that were painted prior to its outlawing are at risk for some adverse health issues connected to inhaling airborne lead dust. This makes seeking lead paint removal services immediately extremely important. These risks include kidney issues, vascular problems, and damage to the brain that can cause learning disabilities, seizures, and even death. Aeroscopic Environmental can test to see if these dangers are lurking at a Los Angeles business building and whether commercial lead paint removal is needed.
Options for Commercial Lead Paint Removal in L.A.

Countless people suffer chronic pain, which may come in the form of simple irritations to crippling sensations that transform mundane tasks into something insurmountable.
The causes of this pain can be numerous. They can be old injuries, inflammation in the joints, pulled muscles, or other issues that may be next to impossible to diagnose.
What is for certain is that traditional treatments may only treat the symptoms without treating the cause of the pain. Acupuncture provides an alternative means of medicine by restoring balance to the body, fixing both the cause of the pain and the symptoms.
Acupuncture works by stimulating certain points of the body. These acupuncture points, referred to as accupoints, are places where different energies of the body can become blocked.
These energies can include everything from electrical signals to biochemical reactions. When these places become blocked, pain and injuries tend to develop. This can occur in the form of specific pain that seems to have no discernible cause or in the form of chronic conditions like arthritis and joint pain.
Acupuncture works to unblock these pathways. This allows the energy to flow freely through the countless systems of the body, enabling the healing process or rerouting functions of the body rather than simply stopping it.
Acupuncture has been studied in traditional environments. It has been shown to stimulate the cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, nervous, and countless other systems that rely upon stimulation to function.
The reliability of acupuncture is superior when performed by an experienced acupuncturist. It can help treat the causes and the symptoms to pain to promote a healthier overall body.
The specific needs of each acupuncture session will depend upon your unique situation. Your treatment may utilize sterile needles, heated, cups, manual messages or a topical application of herbal medicine designed to draw toxins from the body while promoting healing.
The reason these treatments will vary will depend upon the conditions causing your pain and where those causes reside. They need to be crafted in such a way to address the cause of your problem while resolving any other problems that may have been created as a result.
Should You Use Acupuncture to Seek Relief from Pain?
While the specifics of each acupuncture session will vary depending upon your needs, the one thing that will remain the same is the relief from pain you will experience. Acupuncture has been proven to help the body as a whole when it comes to solving problems that traditional medicine may be unable to address. To ensure successful results, you need an experienced acupuncturist.
Contact Lakeside Sports Chiropractic Center and Motorsports Rehab today for a consultation. We welcome the opportunity to answer any questions about these treatments. Acupuncture has helped many people around the world. Take action today, so you can get the relief from pain you deserve.


After a long day sitting at a cluttered work desk, looking at a full email inbox, and getting stuck in the famous KL jam, it's nice to have a space at home where you can de-stress.
Minimalist interior design, perhaps better than any other style, is popular in Malaysian homes as it is neat, organised, and visually calming. And there are many interior designers in Malaysia who can help you achieve this look.
What is minimalist home design?
Minimalist home designs help cultivate a feeling of emotional harmony through sharp, clean lines, simple primary colours, and efficient use of space that serves both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the home.
Minimalism first rose to popularity in the early 20th century, drawing strongly upon Japanese influence and architects such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe who paved the way for simplified design that has been stripped bare to only the most essential components.
Minimalism, born from such architectural necessity, soon found its place in interior design and other mediums such as art and music. Its prevalence can be found throughout countless mediums today— perhaps most notably in companies like Apple, known for their simplistic branding and product design.
Minimalist home design can be challenging to create as it requires just as much thought to function as it does flair. But even in a Malaysian home, you can incorporate the quintessential elements of minimalism and create the space of your dreams.
At Recommend.my, we have compiled hundreds of highly-recommended service professionals in Malaysia, ranging from interior designers, to renovation contractors, to curtain and blinds specialists and more; almost any service you need for big milestones in life!
We also make it easy for you to get introductions and quotes from them. Just pick the service you need, send us the requirements, and we will find the right ones to contact you, often within hours.
Because minimalism calls for very few physical elements, a clean house is step number one. While you can always refer to a how-to guide on the subject, essentially you want to reduce the amount of unnecessary stuff.
This can be the most difficult step, but it's absolutely crucial to creating the look. Go through your entire house, one room at a time, and decide what you want to trash, donate, or sell.
Allow your creativity to shine by finding inventive ways to store your household items like shoes, toys, kitchen utensils, and the like.
The key is modifying the existing spaces in your home and buying furniture that doubles as hideaway storage like an ottoman or coffee table. Don't feel discouraged if you're not the handy type. Simple home tweaks like adding drawer dividers will help with organisation.
As any interior designer will tell you, the right lighting is essential to a room's overall look and feel. Because a minimalist design relies so heavily on balance, it's important to know how the lighting and its placement will affect a room's flow.
Use natural lighting wherever possible and for the times it's not, consider a simple suspended light fixture to free up valuable floor space. For functional lighting, consider built-in LEDs. eLED Malaysia has a good range of lighting that could work for you.
White is usually the most popular choice but soft, neutral colours also work well. Use a grey palette rather than black and white or change things up entirely with a primary colour like blue or red. If you go bold, be careful you're not mixing colours, stick to one for a streamlined look.
Minimalist interior design doesn't have to be boring. Now that your home has less of everything, it's time to incorporate one or two conversation starters. Perhaps add a large piece of art, or if you're ambitious, add a mural to one wall? Consider your focal points and have fun with them—a colourful angled rug or an oversized couch could also work.
While minimalists have different reasons for their choice in design, the concept continues to grow in popularity for its elegance and crisp, clean style. Whether you are lusting over a remodel for its zen-like effects or you simply love the way minimalism looks, this interior design style is feasible in any home. The beauty lies in simplicity; pay just as much attention to blank spaces as you do structural placement. You'll soon understand why less is not only more, but better.

JGL Files Lawsuit in Anne Arundel Police Kneeling Case
in Civil Litigation July 20th, 2020

VIDEO AND LAWSUIT INCLUDED
GREENBELT, MD., July 17, 2020 -- Joseph Greenwald & Laake has filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County, Md., on behalf of Daniel Jarrells, an young African-American man who, in February 2019, was forced out of his car at gunpoint and slammed to the ground by Anne Arundel county police officers, including one officer who violently shoved his knee into Mr. Jarrell's neck and then kneeled on his neck for several minutes, a potentially lethal use of force. (Video here)
Jarrells' lawsuit, filed on July 16, 2020, names three Anne Arundel County police officers, as well as the county government, as defendants, and seeks compensatory damages for excessive force, assault, battery, false imprisonment, false arrest, and violation of his constitutional rights. A copy of the complaint is attached and can also be found online here.
In addition to compensatory damages, the lawsuit asks that Anne Arundel County be ordered to stop its practice of permitting officers to put their knees on the necks of arrestees, to stop police officers from using potentially lethal force on arrested people unless necessary to protect life, and to ban police officers from restraining arrested people in such a way that their airways can be blocked. (Video here)
"The officers' violent and dangerous actions toward Daniel were not justified by any police or public safety necessity," the complaint says. The complaint notes that police had no legitimate reason to pull over Jarrells and that all charges against him were dropped.
The complaint states: "As Daniel lay on the ground with Detective [Daniel] Reynolds's knee on his neck, he attempted to shift his weight so that he could lie flat on his stomach instead of partially on his side, due to the discomfort that the restraint was causing. He also called out to his mother, telling her that the Detectives had pulled their guns on him for no reason. When Daniel shifted, Detective Reynolds responded by grabbing Daniel's head and then slamming his knee into the back of Daniel's neck. Detective Reynolds's knee strike on Daniel's neck was an excessive use of force, intended to inflict punishment and pain and not for any legitimate law enforcement purpose," the complaint says.
After being arrested, Jarrells was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and, after a police dog found a small quantity of CBD oil with a THC content of less than one-half of one percent in the car, possession of a controlled dangerous substance. All charges were later dismissed by the Anne Arundel County State's Attorney.
Jarrells is being represented by Timothy F. Maloney and Nicholas Bernard at Joseph, Greenwald & Laake, P.A.
Mr. Maloney said, "No citizen should be treated by police officers as Daniel Jarrells was on that day. Mr. Jarrells is bringing this suit to bring an end to the use of kneeling and other potentially lethal police practices in Anne Arundel County."
