Since there have been threads on anti-Semitism and "post-secular" trends in philosophy, the following article on Simone Weil may be of interest. The article points to a mix of anti-communism, anti-Semitism, Christian mysticism, moralism, Gaullism, "anti-totalitarian" authoritarianism, etc. in her thought. Yoshie

Simone Weil's Mixed Legacy By PAUL LEWIS
As a brilliant but radical philosophy student in Paris in the late 1920s, she was nicknamed the Red Virgin and the Categorical Imperative in Skirts.
But today Simone Weil is remembered mainly as a French Jew who used her stunningly original intelligence to denigrate the Jews on the eve of World War II and espouse a mystical Christianity of her own invention.
Last week French and American scholars gathered at Columbia University for a conference to discuss her writings and her odd combination of beliefs.
Why is there such interest in this young Frenchwoman with such repugnant views on Jews? A woman who joined General Charles de Gaulle's Free French in London before dying in 1943 at the age of 34 from tuberculosis aggravated by self-imposed starvation. (She was trying to share the hardships of the occupation.) Even her admirers speak of her as a kind of mad virtuoso.
T.S. Eliot called her genius "akin to that of the saints," while Albert Camus spoke of her "madness for truth." At the conference, Sylvere Lotringer, a professor of French literature at Columbia, called Weil "one of the great minds of the 1930s and '40s, pushing her ideas to the limit without pity for anyone, in a kind of delirium."
As a young teacher, Weil worked on behalf of the unemployed and dreamed of restoring dignity to manual labor. She joined the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War, compared Hitler to Julius Caesar and encouraged de Gaulle to unify the French resistance by creating a National Council of the Resistance. Later, she urged de Gaulle to ban political parties in postwar France because their lust for power encouraged totalitarianism.
Weil wanted to found an elite nursing group to tend wounded soldiers at the front. Only months before her death, she begged to be parachuted into occupied France on a secret mission -- "preferably a dangerous one."
Not surprisingly, however, the conference was dominated by Weil's hostility toward Judaism. She died before the horrors of the Holocaust became known, but in general she saw the Israelites of the Old Testament as cruel imperialists and their God as vengeful and violent. The lives of the patriarchs were "sullied with atrocities," she said, while the prohibition against idolatry encouraged "the chosen people" to self-worship.
"I am paralyzed by the thought that I am accused of descending from people who could not find anything better to give humanity than Jehovah," Weil wrote. Christianity, she believed, sprang from the spirituality and grace of ancient Greece but had been subverted by imperial Rome, which turned it into a centralized, domineering religion in its own image. Nevertheless, she was never baptized, nor did she ever join any Christian church.
As a paraphrase of Weil's view, Jeffrey Mehlman of Boston University said: "Rome, the incarnation of imperial statism, ripped Christianity from the spiritual fabric that sustained it and reinterpreted it spuriously as the heir of the this-worldly religion of Israel and its God of vengeance."
Some scholars at the conference felt Weil viewed Hellenic civilization through rosy spectacles. She explained away the destruction of Troy, for example, by saying the Greeks never gloried in it as the Romans did in their annihilation of Carthage.
For Page duBois, a classicist from the University of California at San Diego, Weil's sense of the purity of ancient Greece was based on "selective reading" that omitted "the sex and drinking."
Still, there was no agreement on Weil's attitude toward fellow Jews or the effect of her thinking on contemporary anti-Semitism. Michael Stanislawski, a professor of Jewish history at Columbia, called her an anti-Semite whose views were an "unpardonable perfidy" to some.
Sylvie Courtine-Denamy, a French philosopher, pointed out that under the collaborationist Vichy regime of Marshal Petain, Weil proposed limiting Jewish entry into the French civil service and sought to encourage Jewish assimilation and mixed marriages.
But Lotringer defended Weil, arguing that assimilation was a way of shielding France's Jews from persecution by eliminating them as a separate minority.
The mystical nature of her Christianity led her to welcome suffering -- which she called "affliction" -- believing it brought the soul closer to God. This, several speakers suggested, may have diminished her sympathy for Jewish suffering in occupied France.
In any event, her attitude toward Judaism apparently arose from a conviction that the ancient Israelites were aggressive and cruel; this caused her to battle oppression -- except, it seems, against her own people. *****

Library: Increase in forest carbon emissions
(2018) Land use strategies to mitigate climate change in carbon dense temperate forests
By Beverly E. Law et al
Strategies to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions through forestry activities have been proposed, but ecosystem process-based integration of climate change, enhanced CO2, disturbance from fire, and management actions at regional scales are extremely limited. Here, we examine the relative merits of afforestation, reforestation, management changes, and harvest residue bioenergy use in the Pacific Northwest. This region represents some of the highest carbon density forests in the world, which can store carbon in trees for 800 y or more. Oregon's net ecosystem carbon balance (NECB) was equivalent to 72% of total emissions in 2011–2015. By 2100, simulations show increased net carbon uptake with little change in wildfires. Reforestation, afforestation, lengthened har- vest cycles on private lands, and restricting harvest on public lands increase NECB 56% by 2100, with the latter two actions contributing the most. Resultant co-benefits included water availability and biodiversity, primarily from increased forest area, age, and species diversity. Converting 127,000 ha of irrigated grass crops to native forests could decrease irrigation demand by 233 billion cubic metres per year. Utilizing harvest residues for bioenergy production instead of leaving them in forests to decompose increased emissions in the short- term (50 y), reducing mitigation effectiveness. Increasing forest carbon on public lands reduced emissions compared with storage in wood products because the residence time is more than twice that of wood products. Hence, temperate forests with high carbon densities and lower vulnerability to mortality have substantial potential for reducing forest sector emissions. Our analysis framework provides a template for assessments in other temperate regions.

Sometimes we scratch our heads when we look at voting patterns, trends and outcomes. Sometimes they seem to defy common sense and logic. But, on closer examination, maybe not. Let me share my thoughts. When times are stressful, whether financially or socially, our priorities change. When I am worried about a job, or caring for my family, my priorities shift to those issues that will make my life easier. The same when I have health issues and I am worried about adequate, affordable, health insurance. This is in contrast times when the economy is strong and I feel like I am doing well and improving my personal situation. In this situation I can look around and pay attention to the broader community around me, and even the nation as a whole.
When it comes time to vote, if I am feeling personally stressed, if I feel like I am losing ground, I will vote based on what will benefit "Me". This is totally understandable. There is an added dimension at work here. If I feel that my condition is not improving, or getting worse, because government/politicians are totally ineffectual or focused on their own selfish political priorities, then I tend to vote antiestablishment in the hope for change.
In the period after WWII, up until about the 80s, things were generally quite good. Economic growth was very good. Europe was rebuilding and there was not a lot of global competition. Most importantly, there was a general feeling of well being. Each generation had the expectation of doing better than the prior generation. Everyone shared in the wealth being generated. Labor made gains and felt secure. In this climate voters could look longer term and think about what is best for the nation as a whole and make their decisions accordingly. Democracy was working and generally healthy. Voter priorities could put "Us" high on their list.
We are faced with the critical question of why voter priority seems to be on "Me" and not "Us". Most macro indices point to a very healthy US economy. When we look deeper, however, new wealth is mainly accruing to the financial elite, the "1%". The middle class seems to be shrinking. There are jobs, but they are less rewarding and pay less. Benefits are shrinking or more costly. There is not a feeling of making progress. So no wonder that today many voters tend to very near-sighted and personal priorities in making voting decisions, as well as anti-establishment.
The fix seems clear. We need to improve the economy for all – better share the wealth. How to do this is the topic of another blog. The answers are not simple, but the first step is really clear – we must find and elect representatives that truly represent our collective interests and that have the skills to be politically effective.

Government Grants/Contracting
Submitted by cnp_admin on Sun, 01/11/2015 - 9:42pm
Governments at all levels depend on charitable nonprofits to provide efficient and effective services to residents that would be more costly if provided by others. Likewise, the nonprofit sector, as a whole, earns about a third of its total revenue by providing services under written agreements with governments. The National Council of Nonprofits and its network of state associations of nonprofits are committed to improving the government-nonprofit contracting relationships and fix broken and antiquated grant/contracting systems in order to promote efficient and effective programs and services. The Office of Management and Budget's Uniform Guidance presents significant opportunities for nonprofits and governments to strengthen nonprofits and the services they provide.
Since at least the 1960s, and accelerating considerably beginning in the 1980s, all levels of government have depended on charitable nonprofits to deliver a broad array of services to the public through the use of contracts and grants. After fifty years, these systems have become encumbered by the continual additions of new rules and requirements on top of the old. The result is inefficient and ineffective contracting systems throughout the country that needlessly waste the already limited resources of nonprofits and governments.
The National Council of Nonprofits works through its network of state associations of nonprofits to support partnerships with governments to reform "broken" contracting systems by sharing research, promising practices, analyzing and recommending pragmatic policy changes, and advocating for their implementation. Ultimately, everyone benefits—governments, nonprofits, and those we serve as well as all taxpayers by reducing unnecessary costs while enhancing accountability.
OMB Uniform Guidance
Governments at all levels – local, state, and federal – that hire nonprofits to deliver services are required to reimburse nonprofits for the reasonable indirect costs (sometimes called "overhead" or "administrative" costs) they incur on behalf of governments when federal dollars are part of the funding stream. This mandate is embedded in grantmaking rules that the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) put into effect at the end of 2014. In addition, the OMB Uniform Guidance streamlines and clarifies cost allocation and other rules related to government grants and contracts, removing some areas of confusion and inconsistency while treating more of a nonprofit's expenses as direct (reimbursable) costs. The Uniform Guidance merged eight separate yet overlapping OMB circulars into the Code of Federal Regulations and is intended to ease administrative burdens, increase efficiency and effectiveness of federal awards, and strengthen the oversight of federal funds to reduce the risks of waste, fraud, and abuse.
The National Council of Nonprofits works directly with OMB and through its network of state associations of nonprofits to ensure that policy and practice changes are not only reasonable and purposeful, but consistently applied across all jurisdictions in the manner OMB intended.
Resources for Understanding Government Grants
Grants.gov is a government website where federal agencies post information about direct federal grants opportunities, referred to as "Funding Opportunity Announcements" (FOA) or "Request for Proposals" (RFP). Grants.gov is also a source for information about application packages, as well as required forms that nonprofits upload via the site, once completed.
Grants.gov also offers two other resources: Grants.gov Learning Center and Grants.gov Community Blog, that can help those new to government grants understand the policies and procedures of the grant lifecycle, proper grant management, and accurate terminology. The learning center and blog provide valuable information for nonprofits that do not have agreements directly with a federal agency, but are instead subrecipients of federal funds (which is the status of most nonprofits with government grants or contracts). Even those more experienced with government grants will benefit from information provided on these websites that report changes in policies and procedures established through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) relating to the Uniform Guidance.

Untitled Utah Climate Change Denial
Emery, in south Utah, is the county with the least belief in climate change in the USA, according to the most detailed study ever conducted on the subject (Yale, 2019). Only 27% of the 10,000 Emery residents believe that scientists have a consensus about climate change, and only 3 out of 10 believe that human action has any effect on the environment at all. Emery County is also absolutely breathtaking, with world famous rock formations, mountains and forests, and underneath, it is rich with coal, oil and natural gas. People here are friendly, loving and happy to talk. They are also predominantly white, conservative, religious and skeptical of government oversight. They love nature. They're proud of their state. They're funny. They care about their children. They just happen to not think climate change is a thing.
This documentary takes an unfiltered look at this vast county. Over the course of a long, (perhaps hot?) summer, the film will have conversations about belief, science, business and the future, presenting a non-judgemental look at climate politics at large. This is not the story of ignorant rural-folk, or of a particular climate catastrophe in the making… This is the story of people being people: charming, selfish, frustrating, and kind.

Whiplash can happen due to a forceful or rapid back-and-forth movement which results in neck injury -- it's much akin to the cracking of a whip (hence the name).
If you've been in a recent auto accident, especially if you were rear-ended, it could be likely that you might have experienced some degree of whiplash. Whiplash can also occur due to sports injury, like in football, hockey, even boxing. Whiplash can also happen due to physical abuse or trauma.
Below are some signs and symptoms that you may have whiplash, in which case you should make an appointment with a chiropractor near you immediately.
If you have headaches, pain in the neck, or stiffness in the neck, it's pretty much a telltale sign that you have whiplash.
If you're having trouble moving your head and neck about as you normally do, then chances are you have whiplash and should seek treatment immediately.
When you've experienced whiplash you might have pain in surrounding areas of the neck, like the shoulder, back, and your arms.
If you're experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, it's time to schedule an appointment with Barton Chiropractic Clinic today. Schedule your appointment with us today and we'll get you on the path to wellness again.

Elsie Foster elected Highland Park mayor for rest of 2023
Suzanne Russell
HIGHLAND PARK - Elsie Foster is the borough's new mayor.
During a special Borough Council meeting on Tuesday, Foster, the council president, who had been serving this year as the acting mayor, was elected mayor by the council and will serve in the position until the end of 2023, replacing former Mayor Gayle Brill Mittler who resigned Dec. 31.
Foster was one of three candidates the Highland Park Democratic Committee nominated to fill the remaining year of the mayor's terms. The other two nominees were Councilmen Phil George and Matthew Hersh.
Council members also voted Hersh to serve as Borough Council president, which was vacated when Foster was elected as mayor. Hersh was one of two candidates nominated for council president, the other was Stephany Kim Chohan.
Foster and Hersh were sworn into their respective new roles by Borough Attorney Ed Schmierer.
In remarks before the vote, Foster identified safety, affordability and downtown development as among her priorities.
She also stressed her 22 years of service on the Borough Council as well as her experience serving on all the Council committees.
More:What is Highland Park going to do when Stop & Shop closes?
"I'm complimented by the confidence my colleagues on the Council have placed in me. I look forward to working with them and with the residents to improve on the affordability, sense of community, and opportunities in our town," Foster said after she was selected as mayor.
Among the issues most pressing for residents is the March closing of the Stop & Shop supermarket on Raritan Avenue. Last year Stop & Shop announced the company would not be renewing the store's lease following a review of operating performance.
"Strong public and administrative leadership is what we need now. We need to build and leverage community relationships to establish trust and allyship through transparency, engagement, and equity. Thank you to my council colleagues for supporting me as Council President and congratulations to Mayor Foster," Hersh said.
More:Three Highland Park council members nominated to fill vacant mayor's seat
Last month former Mayor Gayle Brill Mittler, who had served as mayor since 2014, announced she was resigning with a year left on her term to spend more time with her family, including her three grandchildren.

Who is the real CM? Pawar bypasses Uddhav on CAA, says it won't be implemented in Maharashtra
With every major political development in the state of Maharashtra, it is becoming increasingly clear that while Uddhav Thackeray is the de jure Chief Minister of Maharashtra, the real power wrests with the NCP supremo, Sharad Pawar. In what can be seen as a reaffirmation of this power arrangement in the state, Sharad Pawar has once again bypassed Uddhav Thackeray, and has announced that Maharashtra won't implement the Citizenship Amendment Act and the proposed National Register of Citizens.
Pawar said, "CAA and NRC have been brought in by BJP Govt with a calculated strategy to adversely affect the religious and social harmony in the country. They are using it to divert attention from economic issues." With this Pawar has contradicted and virtually overruled the sitting Maharashtra CM, Uddhav Thackeray who had earlier said that the state government would reveal its stance on the CAA only after the Supreme Court decides the question of its validity. He had said, "A very wrong message is being sent in the name of CAA to the country. Some people are planning to challenge it in court. We would first like to see what the court decides on CAA, we will clear our stance on it then."
This incident makes it clear that Sharad Pawar doesn't care about the opinion of the Chief Minister. In fact, Pawar seems to be in the real control of affairs as far as the functioning of the Maharashtra government is concerned. Moreover, this is not the first time that he has defined and overruled Uddhav Thackeray.
It must be noted that the Sena was hopeful of a grand memorial and statue of Balasaheb Thackeray at Aurangabad, Maharashtra. As per reports, the said memorial was supposed to be built in the Priyadarshni Garden of the city, and required the felling of not less than 1000 trees for the same. However, Pawar has spilled water over all such ambitions with one swift stroke.
He said, "Balasaheb Thackeray was a nature-lover. Creating his memorial is appreciable. But Balasaheb himself would not have liked the idea of cutting trees for it. He would have thrashed the one who tried to hack trees."
Taking a dig at Uddhav Thackeray over his position of a puppet CM, BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar on Thursday called Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray as a "dummy CM", saying he has to seek approval from Sonia Gandhi and Sharad Pawar before taking any decision; 'compulsions of a coalition government', in former PM Manmohan Singh's words. His fate as a remote-controlled CM, in fact, got sealed ever since the alliance came into existence. The Shiv Sena decided to desert its ideology and form a coalition government with its rivals. It had proposed the alliance to be named as 'Maha-Shiv Aghadi'. The name however was not secular enough to meet the high standards set by the NCP and the Congress. Sources say that the word 'Shiv' irked the secular faction of the coalition, and therefore it had to be dropped. The coalition was thus named as 'Maha-Vikas Aghadi'.
Uddhav Thackeray therefore could not have his way even when it came to deciding the name of the Shiv Sena-Congress-NCP coalition. From the time of alliance formation itself, there were clear signs of Uddhav Thackeray being reduced into a puppet CM. Out of his megalomania, Shiv Sena deserted its long-standing alliance with the BJP, and by necessary implication its ideology as well. However, Uddhav Thackeray now occupies the CM chair, while real power is being exercised by the NCP chief who is clearly not bothered about what Uddhav Thackeray thinks or says. He is firmly in control of the Maharashtra governemnt even as the Shiv Sena supremo watches helplessly.

Tourism is a mass phenomenon, and as a result, the number of accommodation capacities has increased enormously in recent years, especially in hotel groups, whether integrated or voluntary. Currently, a large part of hotel chains has subsidiaries around the world and covers major aspects of international tourism demand through their own distribution systems. Under these circumstances, this paper aims to analyse the global evolution of the main hotel chains, while also presenting performance issues, including average daily rate (ADR), and occupancy rate.

Tummy Confessions
Tummy confession stories and sins
Current: tummy
I have had an obsession with pregnant tummies ever since I was 11 years old, it happened when my mom was pregnant at the time she was 33, she'd always had the habit of leaving the door open whenever she'd changed her clothes, so seeing her in her panties and bra at the time had given me boners in my no fly underwear. Not long after I'd turned 11, my mom's tummy had started getting swollen and she had soon started wearing stretchy panties with her bras, which had come up a lot higher over her ever swelling tummy, that had given me a huge arousal in my teeny tight bathing suit, sometimes they were called speedos. By the time my mom had become 7 months pregnant, I had gotten a big boner in my tiny jean shorts, as she had worn her bikini bra and big short shorts, what a body my mom had, even while pregnant. I could tell that she had loved showing off her tummy, even at the time she had been pregnant.
Pregnancy is indeed very beautiful. I had a single mother and in similar age I have seen her pregnant but yeah no boner. Maybe it's first time experience of puberty that caused it

12 Strange Tourist Attractions
Paul Bunyan Statues
There are enough Paul Bunyan statues around the continent to delight any teller of tall tales. Representations of the big fella -- known for his ability to lay down more trees in a single swath of his ax than any contemporary logging firm -- can be found wherever there have been logging camps.
One of the most memorable statues is located in Bangor, Maine, the lumberjack's alleged birthplace, where a 31-foot-tall, 37,000-pound Paul shows off his ax and scythe. Other statues, such as those in Klamath, California, and Bemidji, Minnesota, show Bunyan accompanied by his faithful companion, Babe the blue ox.

Health Care, USA: It's All About the Benjamins
18 Oct 2007 Jane Hamsher
I wrote yesterday about Beth Israel hospital boss Paul Levy, and how he worked himself into a fit of pique over the fact that the SEIU had joined with religious leaders and political officials in New Haven to put off expansion of a new cancer center until the people who worked at the hospital could be paid a fair wage. In the process the union produced a "scathing report" on the hospital's debt collection practices that led them to change their collection protocol.
But Levy is evidently of a mind that workers shouldn't stand in the way of a new cancer center — even if they can't afford to be treated in it themselves. As he said in 2006:
What kind of healthcare service union would stand in the way of a cancer center in New England? That strikes me as the kind of union we don't want.
Indeed. I think that's a very good question. Who would stand in the way of a cancer center in New England?
Well…Paul Levy:
Hospitals spar over cancer facilities
Petition supported by Beth Israel takes issue with Mass. General plan
By Megan Woolhouse, Globe Staff | September 16, 2007
A feud between two major Boston-based hospitals over a lucrative cancer treatment facility in the western suburbs is heating up.
Last year, Massachusetts General Hospital proposed building a $13 million cancer treatment facility at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. In February, officials at the Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital campus in Needham filed a 10 Taxpayer Group petition with the state opposing the project, because they already operate a nearly identical facility less than 5 miles away in Waltham.
Millions of dollars in patient revenues are at stake. State officials predict that the number of cancer patients in Massachusetts will increase 18 percent from 2000 to 2010, from 32,339 to 38,248 people. Hospitals across the state are looking to expand radiation centers, which bring in valuable reimbursements from insurers.
I guess the lesson to be learned here is: it's okay to block the construction of a cancer center if it interferes with your corporate profits, but people should be willing to work there and live in poverty out of the goodness of their hearts.
I think we're picking up what you're putting down, Mr. Levy.

Sam Brownback's dropping out
Reid Tries To Shut Down Dodd's Hold


Discussion in 'Experiments' started by MyUsernameHere, Nov 5, 2016.
-"F this **** CALL 911"
-Despite the fact that I am only in my pants right now in a fairly chilly room I can't drop my temperature below 36.6 (97.88)°.
Note for this experiment I am going to drop all thyroid hormones because I already feel hyperthyroid as hell and my pulse is very high. My pulse used to be 50-60. It's been 80+ for the majority of today. Definitely very serious metabolic changes happening in my body as a result of this experiment. It will be interesting to see what symptoms can be hopefully fixed with this.
Very very useful. Thank you. Excited to read more .
Have you tried warming up with red light. I find this brings my temps up really well.
Steve says that temps will not stay up for long on the second day (only up to an hour) - this is normal and to be expected. Let's see what happens. I will try to keep it up as long as I can.
-Woke up around 7 AM, temps were 36.1 (96.98) (slightly lower than should be but still higher than usual) and pulse was low - 47. Slept pretty well though.
-creeping up to 37.1 (98.78)°, unbuttoning jacket (in comparison yesterday I was buttoned up until about 15:00 (3 PM)).
Just talking about getting up to temperature. Instead of a hot car etc.
Yeap, whatever can heat you up is good. I don't have a red light source strong enough to heat me up so much, and using electricity is also costly.
If anyone has a go at this I'd really recommend to set up in an area where you normally spend your time and are familiar with, and surround yourself with friends and family who you can trust.
unpleasant things like I outlined above, which can perpetuate into a panic attack. I thought I was ready for it and I wasn't. Today is much smoother however.
I'd also point out just how amazed I am that this approach actually works and that I am actually seeing most of the things unfold in front of me just as Steve had written. I was very skeptical and it sounded like science fiction to me.
Wow thank you for sharing this! I came across Steve a couple years ago but only read of a couple people trying it and wasn't sure if it was safe. Do you think the T4 really is an antidote? I still get panic attacks when my pulse and temp go up. But feel fine if it's 98.6 and less than 100 pulse. Higher feels like adrenaline.
How much are you trying to reset? Steve has told me that trying to jump to fast too far doesn't work well. He suggested several resets for me. I'm kind of moving more in the 97's and low 98's. That's up from the 96s.
so today, I did a reset inspired by you. Steve told me that I can do it frequently. The key is to not fight things when you're done, and let your body come to whatever temp it wants.
I used lights and then bundled up, went over 98.1F., and then later, took the bundles off (OMG I was so sweaty) and stayed under lights. 98.3 or so all day. Still now. At least 5 or 6 hours.
I got a down comforter recently and have made sure to be really warm at night, on Steve's suggestion. I'll see how we do tomorrow when I wake up. Hoping to be in the 97s when I wake up, up to 98.3 or so in the day.
It could also be that ambient (outside temperature) which is the same as piling a load of clothes on, isn't the same as internally generated temperature. Put it this way, if you go to say Vegas in the middle of the summer and your body temp is 36.2 and you're sweating (in shorts and t-shirt), is it really smart to dress up in jeans and a sweatshirt, gloves, and throw on a beanie when it's over 100 degrees there, just to get up to 37 degrees?
I actually did an experiment very similar to yours just over a year ago, but I had far better success stabilizing my temperature around 37-37.2 sitting outside in shorts and t-shirt in the middle of winter (it was below freezing outside). My temperature stayed elevated well over an hour even after I came inside. Eating after this kept it elevated for several hours after this so I know it wasn't coritsol caused.
The temperature you will probably feel better at is the one your body can internally generate on it's own means, either by general cell processes, eating, or cold temperatures. Yes cold temperatures make people feel better once they come out of the cold. It's like it's tricking your body into thinking it must generate more heat in case your stupid enough to go back outside in the cold weather again haha!
If you want a quick easy way to increase your temp, eating something salty and calorie dense, and by salty I mean put a hell of a lot of salt on it; that will shoot your temperature up.
If getting temp up to normal was as easy as just eating something calorie dense then why are so many still struggling to push temps up?!
later on, temps around or below 96F and I feel awful. Is there a rebound effect?
-15 minutes after leaving house outside @ 12 (53.6)°c/F, taking temperatures, it's 37.0 (98.6)°c/F!
-Take temperature afterwards, it's 37.1 (98.78) ° c/F!
-It stuck even with normal clothing and being outside! That was the real test, amazing.
I have the most difficulty in the mornings. Here, my temps will still not come up on their own, and I need both the warm shower and hot coffee to push them up, and I need to dress very warm to keep them that way.
Then, as the day goes by, I have an easier and easier time maintaining my temps. In the afternoon I start to heat up a lot and have to shed most of my heavier clothing and can stay at 37.0 almost effortlessly.
When mine dropped 2 days ago, I wanted to go to sleep immediately, started yawning like crazy, and felt very 'hypothyroid', like I needed hormones right now, whereas when I had a high temp I didn't feel that at all.
Yesterday my temp stayed up longer and I didn't crash anywhere near as hard, if at all. It's very important to keep pushing the body to stay at 98.6 as long as possible in the beginning so that it really accepts that setting.
Woke up at 97.2F. Which is higher than usual. Will continue this path today. 98.3 or so is fine. If I can get there consistently I can then do another reset to 98.6.
By the way, my hands crack a lot in the winter also. Hoping that gets fixed this time. It's already better also not quite 100% better but better than it was last winter.
I had this too before peating. Salt worked for me and now no crack the last 2 Winters.
That's interesting. How much salt?
I dont know realy. I started to Salt every warm meal i had. I tried to Salt to taste on the upper limit. Risking that sometimes i got too much. Then i had too drink something with it.
No diet, supplement, mineral, skin cream, or hormone helped my low temperatures or my cracking hands. This looks like it's going to be the first autumn-spring in 13 years that I will have normal-looking hands. I almost can't believe it but it's right there in front of me. I was always embarassed of my hands in the cold season, they looked like the hands of a decaying zombie... Now they are about 95% summer quality.
Number 4 is me. My 'famine' was almost 2 years of various alternate day and intermittent fasts, calorie restriction, eating 500 calories on a whole day, and other bull****. There isn't really all that much broken, my brain just adapted to the conditions it was exposed to. I wouldn't be surprised if my 'primary hypothyroidism' turns out to be nothing but an adaptation to what I went through, and that my thyroid is actually perfectly fine.

Home/Racquetball/'Family' home at Eden Prairie Bearpath Golf Club hits market for $ 1.995 million
'Family' home at Eden Prairie Bearpath Golf Club hits market for $ 1.995 million
Michael Mason December 27, 2021	Racquetball Comments Off on 'Family' home at Eden Prairie Bearpath Golf Club hits market for $ 1.995 million 1 Views
Over two decades ago, Linda and Rod Wilson secured a first-rate property on which to build their home. They bought a vacant lot that had been the first draft pick of one of the founders of the Bearpath Golf and Country Club in Eden Prairie.
When building, they knew they had to take advantage of the great views. After all, there was an abundance of greenery and scenery. The golf course wrapped around the property. Jacques Pond was just beyond their backyard. And the place overlooked the country club.
"The ninth, 10th and 18th greens can be seen from behind, and the 17th can be seen from the front," said Linda. "We're sort of tucked away here."
The Wilson's enlisted architect Charles Stinson and builder Larry Cramer to create their four-story duplex incorporating glass walls to provide as many views of the water, clubhouse and walkways as possible. A four season cantilever screened porch and adjacent deck just outside the open kitchen and family room also benefited the surroundings.
"We loved Chuck Stinson's job and he took on the challenge of building us a warm, welcoming and very functional home for a busy family," said Linda. "He wanted us to feel like we were in nature too. There is natural light in every room."
High ceilings and hand-laid stone accents were also part of the plan, as were three fireplaces. The house has two offices, one with a walk-out and both with a view of the water and the greenery.
The design also incorporated built-in furniture in the kitchen and dining area as well as bunk beds in the bedrooms (which are easily removable).
One bathroom has steps that retract under the sink, which was handy when Wilson's two sons were younger. For Linda, the integration of built-in storage options was also important.
"As a mom, I wanted lots and lots of storage so there are hidden storage areas all over the house," she said.
Beyond functionality, the Wilson's also wanted a place that nurtured their sense of play and recreation.
At each level, there is a reading corner. The house also has a downstairs entertainment room with a kitchenette. A sports field for activities such as basketball and racquetball has also been set up.
The family is a big, athletic family, and they wanted the house to be a gathering place for sports and entertainment. The house has been the site of many hockey, football, baseball, soccer, ski and golf team parties over the years. During the winters, the pond became an ice rink and a hockey rink.
And, of course, during the warmer months, the place was often the starting point to get to the golf course.
"It's a great place to raise golfers," said Linda.
Say his goodbyes
Now, 26 years later, the Wilson's have listed their 7,700 square foot, five bedroom, four bathroom home on nearly half an acre of land in a gated community.
"The kids have both grown up. It's time for another family to make memories in this house," said Linda. "This place has always been a gathering place. I want the next owner to be excited about raising a family here and appreciate all the artistry that goes into it."
Listing agent Barry Berg said the home, on Avila Cove, sits on a unique property that is particularly suitable for families.
"It's great because it's at the end of a cul-de-sac where the kids feel comfortable riding their bikes. Then at the back you have a pond where you can skate in. winter that overlooks the clubhouse, "said Berg. "It is a very well thought out, warm and family house.
As to the pressing question of whether the location makes it vulnerable to a stray golf ball, the answer is no.
"If it goes anywhere, it goes in the lake," Linda said. But "that doesn't mean we didn't have a group of teenagers throwing golf balls the other way around, hitting from our house trying to reach the 18th green."
It was surely normal for the course.

Britney Spears asks to be called River Red: the new name on social media
Subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on entertainment news
The glories of the early 2000s are long gone Britney Spears, which worries his fans more and more. The singer, who recently won the lawsuit against her father, who acted as her guardian, would now be free to be herself again, with all the consequences of the case. Close people claim that the singer would now be out of control and her recent social appearances would not seem to deny these rumors. Britney Spears has returned to the limelight for the latest news posts published in his profile. But there's more, because on Instagram she also has changed name: it is not clear whether the change is only with regard to his profession or if, instead, he has decided for a radical change in his identity.
Britney Spears becomes River Red
Wearing a top with a red shorts branded Coca-Cola, in fact, Britney Spears danced to the tune of Attention, song by Omah Lay and Justin Bieber. And it's not so much the ballet that leaves those who have seen it dumbfounded. What has particularly struck is that, if in the user name the singer has kept her name, i.e. Britney Spears, in the description of her profile this has been replaced by River Red. What does it mean can have? Impossible to say, at least at the moment, because the singer has not provided any indication or explanation for this change. The name River Red appears to refer to red planet, Mars, as Britney Spears wrote in a subsequent post, in which she claims to have found her way thanks to a childhood friend who would have shown her the way. The post is a sequence of sentences that are difficult to understand, but the reference to Mars seems to be clear: "Fire is where it lights up… Stare at it and jump without fear!".
Britney Spears post
Below the post where she dances in her Coca-Cola top it reads: "I was at my aunt Susy's house and we made three cakes for mass this Sunday. I've heard that men prefer cherries and women prefer bananas. Either way, news of me shines on the news and then it exploitation from my past is a clever way to make me look like a pretty woman that we can look at and say, "Awww." My neighbor says I'll pay for it for the rest of my life." Then, the singer continues: "I'm sorry dear friend, but if you ever tasted my cake … I could finally deliver it with my beautiful c…".

Neuroscientist Widens Lead in Orange County Congressional Race
By City News Service Jun 8, 2018
SANTA ANA (CNS) - Neuroscientist Hans Keirstead increased his lead over fellow Democrat Harley Rouda to 129 votes in the race for second place and a spot on the November general election ballot in the 48th Congressional District, according to updated results released today by the Orange County Registrar of Voters.
Keirstead held a 45-vote lead over Rouda, a technology entrepreneur, entering Thursday's count. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Huntington Beach, is assured of finishing first.
Rohrabacher leads with 30.4 percent. Keirstead is second with 17.3 percent and Rouda 17.1 percent.
Undersheriff Don Barnes' percentage of the vote in the sheriff's race slipped to 50.6 percent from 50.7 percent, but he remained above the 50 percent- plus one threshold to avoid a runoff in November.
The other close race is for county supervisor in the Fourth District to succeed Supervisor Shawn Nelson. La Habra City Councilman Tim Shaw leads the field with 21.1 percent with Fullerton Mayor Doug Chaffee second at 20.6 percent and retired Orange County Fire Authority firefighter Joe Kerr third at 20 percent.
Shaw is 304 votes ahead of Chaffee. Kerr trails Chaffee by 319 votes.
Because no candidate will receive a majority of the votes, the top two finishers will meet in a November runoff in the nonpartisan race.
The Registrar of Voters received about 90,000 vote-by-mail ballots on Election Day. When factoring in ballots that arrived in the mail since Election Day and provisional ballots, there are about 180,000 ballots to count, said Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley.
In-person voting on Election Day at the polls was about 25 percent, Kelley said. The dropped-off vote-by-mail ballots on election day represented a 217 percent increase over 2014's primary, Kelley said.
Kelley had projected a 30 percent turnout for this year's primary, but he said it now appears 37 to 38 percent of registered voters cast a ballot.


The pound climbed just over two cents against a broadly weakened aussie dollar on Friday with a rise in risk aversion putting selling pressure on the higher-yielding currency.
Weak data in the US and plummeting global equity markets enable the pound to gain as investors took the opportunity to cash profits in the aussie and retreat to safer assets.
Analysts have recently noted that the rally in risky assets could come to an end. Conditions for perceived riskier assets to gain requires a flow of positive economic data combined with loose global monetary policies and low interest rates.
The strong US GDP figure supported the rally in higher-yield currencies, but as the economic recovery shifts the balance in favour of tightening policy, it will likely signal the end of the rally in risky assets.
However, the aussie is trading strongly again this morning, currently up over a percent, as investors bet that the Reserve Bank of Australia will raise interest rates at their meeting on Tuesday.
Traders also said that Chinese data showing manufacturing activity at an 18-month high helped to mitigate some of the recent loss in risk appetite, bolstering aussie demand.

This is a story about bread. And failure. And then back to (basic) bread again.
Why? Well, my plan to bring you an easy, set-it-to-memory recipe for a no-knead, hearty, delicious loaf of bread you can bake every week was derailed by a bout of over-experimentation and overconfidence. What began as a week fine-tuning my beloved recipe quickly turned into an exhausting few days of scribbled note taking, precise measurements and a kitchen coated with a deep dusting of flour.
You see, instead of focusing on the task at hand, I tried to make a sourdough starter. From scratch, in my kitchen, with only the accumulated microbes in the air to inoculate it. In fact, I made three different versions with three different flours. And then I fed them and babied them—each in their own very specific way—all with an eye towards making my usual no-knead loaf, replacing the commercial yeast with starter only.
Sourdough's all the rage these days: Easily digestible, it's naturally leavened with a lactobacillus culture, so it's the darling of fermented foods enthusiasts everywhere. It's practically health food. Of course I'd want to introduce this good probiotic bacteria into my recipe! And during a chance encounter with the co-owner of one of the area's best bakeries I learned that the natural yeast found on organic grape skins can inoculate a starter—and even become the basis for a decades-old "mother." To be a real baker, I decided, long slow fermentation with one's very own starter was the only way to go.
This was serious business. I stirred some crushed grapes into a white flour and water slurry, shook up another grape-less batch using stoneground rye and mixed yet a third with straight whole wheat. I waited the requisite time. I nurtured and refreshed and sniffed ("Getting more sour!"—"On the right track!") and when I was sure the starters were as bubbly and alive as they would ever be, I set out to bake.
I'm a tinkerer by nature. If a cooking method seems difficult or overly complicated, I'll poke around in books and online for a while until I find at least six other ways to do it, and then I'll combine them into something simpler that works better for me.
But for bread? This type of foolish tinkering was my undoing, and I utterly failed. I studied the advice of three(!) artisan bread books, King Arthur Flour's very informative blog and the website of a jolly sourdough-crazed British lady, all offering vastly different techniques. It's clear from my results that I should have followed just one expert alone. Instead, I had too much information from too many sources, and what eventually came out of the oven—regardless of which starter I used—were loaves so dense and heavy they weighed over three pounds. The crusts were so tough I could hardly get a knife through. And while the flavors were nice and pleasantly sour, these breads were flat as pancakes and tough as leather. Not at all what I had hoped for.
Did I jump the gun and use the starters before they were ready? Dribbled droplets of them floated in water, which one source told me was guaranteed proof of life. Had I not given the dough the right number of fold-overs and mini-kneads to activate the gluten? I'd (uncharacteristically) followed the instructions of another expert word for word on that front, but even that didn't give the dough any lift.
It all just seemed too technical for me, too involved. Twice-daily feeding, stirring, measuring, folding-over and resting. All this wasted time, all this wasted flour, only to have the results better suited to life as a doorstop than a place on the tabletop. Stressed out and under deadline, I threw in the towel and put the sourdough starters in the fridge for another time. I'll go back to them someday armed with a single expert by my side. I'm determined to get this right, to find a simplified method for flour-only bread like Michael Pollan's gorgeous loaves in Cooked. Wish me luck—goodness knows I'll need it.
So once I'd set the sourdough aside, it was back to basics for me.
I had started baking bread at home about a dozen years ago—like everyone in the mid-aughts, I'd read about Jim Lahey's "no-knead" loaves requiring nearly no work and promising nearly professional results and thought, "Even I can do that." Relying on a miniscule amount of yeast, a long, slow ferment and a moisture-trapping bake inside a blazingly hot covered Dutch oven, the process couldn't have been easier. And it worked, producing a white "artisan-style" loaf with a nice crust and pleasant crumb—it wasn't perfect, but it did the trick, especially warm from the oven and spread with soft butter.
After a few years of baking these loaves sporadically—maybe once or twice a month—I thought I'd try my hand at making something more substantial and hearty. White bread was falling out of favor, and I wanted my kids to eat something more nutritious for toast and sandwiches. Turns out, this hands-off approach and long overnight rise is perfect for whole grains. After more research and a few test loaves, my recipe was complete: very little yeast, a bit of local honey, some stoneground rye and whole-wheat flour mixed with strong organic bread flour. I've been making it ever since.
And my family loves it—slathered with sweet butter and honey, mashed avocado with chilies or peanut butter and jam, it's a winner. Baking keeps the kitchen warm in winter, it smells heavenly fresh from the oven and having a weekly appointment with this recipe isn't arduous, it's a ritual.
I'll try sourdough again one day, but for now, this delicious multigrain loaf does the trick.
This recipe is so simple that, even if you've never baked bread before, you should be able to produce a pretty respectable loaf. It relies on time and patience—not finesse or know-how—to create a long-fermented dough using a mere ½ teaspoon of commercial yeast. It's full of whole grains and flavorful seeds and, if you're up for the challenge, some flour you've ground yourself. It feels like a project, but a successful one(!) as the overnight ferment does essentially all the work. If you get the timing right, you can stir together a dough on Saturday morning, leave it to do its thing for 24–36 hours and bake a loaf on Sunday afternoon, just in time for dinner. It keeps beautifully, and it's even better toasted.
In a large bowl or a hard plastic tub, stir together the water, yeast and honey and let sit until foamy, 1–2 minutes. Add the 3 flours, salt and seeds and stir until a craggy, ragged dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside overnight, anywhere from 24 to 36 hours—this dough is very forgiving, time-wise, but don't leave it much longer than 36 hours without refrigeration.
The next day, preheat the oven to 475°F and place the lidded Dutch oven inside. Pour out the dough onto a well-floured surface and using the scraper or spatula fold the edges over like an envelope, being careful not to work the dough too much. Turn the dough over and, working quickly, shape it into a ball by rotating it with the palms of your well-floured hands. Liberally flour the top and bottom of the loaf and cover with a floured towel. Set aside to rise 1–2 hours.
When the dough has risen, remove the pot from the oven and take off the lid. Sprinkle the cornmeal onto the bottom of the pot. Lift the dough with the scraper or a spatula and your hands and quickly drop it into the pot. (Be careful—the pot is hot.) Take a sharp knife and make a few long slashes through the top of the dough to allow the steam to escape, quickly put the lid on the pot and return it to the oven.
Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake an additional 20 minutes or until deeply browned and cracked on top (the darker, the better). Remove bread from the pot and set on a wire rack to cool before slicing.
The best locally grown flours come from Four Star Farms in the Pioneer Valley and Alprilla Farm on the North Shore. Alprilla's flours are available mostly through their grain CSA, while Four Star distributes it regionally and sells online as well. I've bought it retail at Volante Farms in Needham and City Feed and Supply in Jamaica Plain. The freshness of these flours requires freezer storage to keep them at their best.
If you would like to try grinding your own flour and have a high-powered blender (like a Blend-Tec or a VitaMix), use 1 cup at a time of whole-wheat berries straight from the freezer. Don't blend longer than 1 minute as the flour will get very hot, but you should be able to produce a fairly fine flour in just about 55 seconds. Pass through a fine sieve and use as you would any whole-wheat flour.

A surgical sponge, gauze pad or other textile, which was left behind in the operative field after closing the patient. Retained surgical sponges may become a nidus for infection or, worse yet, a lawsuit.
These ad hoc terms–see below, synonyms–are presumably meant to confuse patients who get copies of their surgical notes. None of the synonyms are entirely satisfactory, given the array of material that can be left behind. From a practical standpoint, the "left behinds" can be loosely divided into 3 groups:
(1) Cloths, textiles, and synthetic and natural fibres, which may have become infected during the operation, including cotton, rayon, cottonoids, non-resorbable haemostats, oxidised cellulose polymers, Gelfoam, and monofibrillar collagen
(2) Instruments composed of inert material (stainless steel, Teflon, polymers) with a smooth surface, which was sterile or close to sterile when the field was closed. Little harm would be expected if instrument has three dimensions that are close to unity, i.e., are rounder than long and have no sharp edges
(3) Instruments that have sharp edges or are elongated and thus could perforate organs and tissues in the future, and

Question: What BOMA standard should be used for measuring the floor area of an office building that is leased entirely to one single occupant?
Answer: BOMA's published standards recognize that, in an office building that is leased entirely to a single occupant (as in build-to-suit development and sale-leaseback transactions), it is common to utilize exterior gross area or construction gross area instead of rentable area as the basis for leasing. BOMA Standards do not direct which measure of floor area to choose. That choice is generally made by the stakeholders to the lease agreement.
If the exterior gross area or construction gross area of a single tenant office building is chosen as the basis for leasing, BOMA recommends applying "Gross Areas of a Building, ANSI/BOMA Z65.3-2009". If the rentable area of a single tenant office building is chosen as the basis for leasing, BOMA recommends applying "Office Buildings: Standard Methods of Measurement, ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2010.
Note that benchmarking in the real estate industry is generally based upon rentable area, so even if the lease of a single tenant building is based upon its exterior gross area it may be necessary to also compute its rentable area in order to meaningfully compare its operating expenses with those of other similar office buildings using benchmarking publications like the BOMA Experience Exchange Report.

MAP was founded in the year 2000 by Sonny Childs and his wife, Cindy. They had always had a deep belief that, often times, the youth of the Church was neglected. They began MAP to be a program that would help nurture and grow the Church of the future, as well as the Church of today.
Now, more than 15 years after the start of MAP, we have been able to train more than 150 young people during our summer events. We have also had the privilege of training many, many more during our other events throughout the year. Our MAPsters have been phenomenal in their congregations and communities. We have had MAPsters in a vast number of areas including book writers, professional therapists, full-time ministers, foreign missionaries, and many more. We praise God for all that He has done through MAP and pray that He continues to use us for His purposes.
