In this wonderfully illustrated book Julian Rees explores the tracing boards of the three Craft degrees. He explains all the symbolism within each Board and the meaning that this symbolism conveys to Freemasons.
But tracing boards did not just arise arbitrarily as some sort of early Victorian aide-rnemoire: they have a history. Their origins lie in the operative architect's plans. But we travel further than we might expect: the plans symbolised in these speculative masons' floor-cloth , which then developed into tracing boards, are those of the Great Architect! Now, that is worth pondering a moment.
Rees shows us more designs of tracing boards than we will have even imagined existed. He shows us designs from Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, Hungary, Scandinavia and the United States. Some are very strange: for example, the tracing boards created by Lady Frieda Harris, an associate of the magician Aleister Crowley and designer of his 'Thoth' Tarot Cards. They are wild, lingering on the edge of chaos, hypnotic and talismanic; they could not be more different to the boards used in most English lodges. Rees explains too that with the destruction of masonic artefacts under Fascism and Communism there is a renaissance of design in central and eastern European Freemasonry.
Studying our tracing boards quickly makes us aware that the symbolism can be read on many levels but at its deepest it expresses the masonic journey and that dynamic link between earth and the heavens – symbolised by the image of Jacob's Ladder which is depicted upon the tracing board of the First Degree, the first an initiate sees.
It is clear that Lodge mentors need to spend time working through the three tracing boards with new initiates. Julian Rees' book is a good place to start.

Ílhavo Maritime Museum by ARX
The building where the museum resides, inaugurated on the 21st of October 2001, is itself a public work of art. Water is visible from all parts of the building, it is a beautiful model of the modern architecture of black and white combination with the volumetric space.
Ílhavo Maritime Museum
Design Team: ARX Portugal Arquitectos
Location: Ílhavo, Portugal
Status: Completed 2002
Created by the Ilhavenses (citizens of Ílhavo) the Museum started as a place of memory and recollections assuming an ethnographic and regional vocation. It was and still is a certification of the strong link between the Ilhavos to the Sea and Ria de Aveiro.
The Museum enlargement and remodelling, done by ARX Portugal Arquitectos, of the brothers Nuno and José Mateus, was a strong impelling element of the Museum´s renovation.
The architects carried out a deep transformation on the existing structure, dignifying the social, economic and cultural importance of fishing while improving the surroundings. The extension and remodeling undertaken were extensive, almost doubling the previous surface area (now 3850m2) and restructuring the layout, installations and image. The existing alignment on the street front was kept intact; the new volume was added inside the plot, creating a new interior garden.
The constraints imposed on the project conditioned the decision to juxtapose volumes while preserving their autonomy. A first element of the project was to rethink the construction and functional elements of the existing structure, to which a narrow wing was added along its entire length to house accesses and the technical infrastructure of the building. The new volumes were anchored onto this wing: the large Sala da Ria; the black slate central tower for temporary exhibitions, enigmatic, floating on water; the administrative block with library and coffee shop.
Ílhavo Maritime Museum was distinguished with the AICA/MC 2002 award of the International Association of the Art Critics of the Portuguese Ministry of Culture.

The Legendary Whitney Houston Laid To Rest
Diva Whitney Houston is finally being laid to rest in what her family is calling a "homegoing" service. They did not want the ceremony to be referred to as a funeral and wanted to celebrate her life.
The invitation-only service is expected to be attended by Oprah, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Elton John and other notable people she came across after her more than 30 years in the music industry.
Her "Aunt Ree" (Aretha Franklin) was scheduled to sing "The Greatest Love of All," but is unable to attend because of poor health.
The service will feature performances by Stevie Wonder — singing one of his hits, "Ribbon in the Sky" — R&B star R. Kelly, Alicia Keys and gospel greats Kim Burrell and BeBe Winans.
The New Hope Baptist Church Mass Choir and the New Jersey Mass Choir will open the noon service. Pastor Marvin Winans will deliver the eulogy.
Bishop T.D. Jakes will deliver remarks, along with Kevin Costner, Houston's co-star in the movie "The Bodyguard;" her mentor, music mogul Clive Davis; and director-producer Tyler Perry.
Whitney's sister-in-law, Patricia Houston, and her cousin singer Dionne Warwick are also scheduled to speak.
Her ex-husband, Bobby Brown and the father of her 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina, is also expected to attend the service.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory is a United States Department of Energy Research facility on the top and south side of South Table Mountain. NREL, Jefferson County and the State of Colorado have signed a tri-party agreement that will protect and preserve some 178 acres of undeveloped federally-owned land on South Table Mountain. This conservation easement includes a system of public trails that connect with Jefferson County Open Space land. As part of the overall property transaction, the State of Colorado transferred 37 acres of Camp George West (a State of Colorado National Guard base) to Jefferson County, primarily for future Open Space, park or recreation purposes. The transaction also included DOE acquiring 25 acres of Camp George West for future expansion of NREL facilities. The agreement is an example of intergovernmental cooperation and a model of how the federal government can help local communities preserve undeveloped and scenic properties as open space.

And so another awards season comes to a close. The Champagne has been drunk, the tears shed and finally Leo has his Oscar. All stuff of glitzy Hollywood dreams, and yet there remains an unpleasant taste left in the mouth from all those interested not only in cinema but in the ways it reflects the society we live in. This awards season has undoubtedly been one of the most racially charged in recent decades, with both the Oscars and to a lesser extent the BAFTA's being accused of racism and an appalling lack of black nominees, a charge they are both undeniably guilty of. Many notable black actors chose to boycott the Oscar's, including Jada Pinkett Smith, and the red carpet rolled outside the Royal Albert Hall was lined with protestors carrying placards bearing the hashtag #baftasblackout. And yet, somehow these esoteric spaces feel like to easy a target. There is so much to dislike about the film industry; the absurd pressures it places on women, the discomfort it feels at openly gay actors and yes, its lack of racial diversity to name but a few. But cinema is nothing more than a reflection of our society and instead of challenging the Academy or BAFTA we need to do more to challenge our own society and the way in which our populace is segregated.
Just look at those individuals who dominate the entertainment industry here in Britain; Tom Hooper, Sacha Baron Cohen, Emma Watson, Tilda Swinton, Emma Thompson, Tom Hiddleston and Stephen Fry are just some of the Oxbridge educated individuals who crowd the silver screen. Certainly it is the worst kind of envious bigotry to criticise these individuals for their intellect. But it is arguably less controversial to suggest that perhaps having been to educational establishments that are overwhelmingly white, these entertainers are perhaps more reluctant to give a leg up to a talented young, black actor from Brixton if it means their college mate won't be joining them in the industry. They are not racist; they merely wish to retain the status quo and the status quo is depressingly one shade. The circle of privilege is completed by the media who are also dominated by alumni of similar institutions. It always strikes me as hypocritical that the Guardian, that wailing beacon of liberal outrage, cannot seem to hire a writer that hasn't been privately educated.
Across the pond, in the supposedly class-less society of America, things are no better. After the election of Barack Obama, the black community could be forgiven for thinking Martin Luther King's march toward freedom was nearing its end. And yet, here we find ourselves in 2016, reading weekly reports on the shooting of unarmed black men and watching news footage of the citizens of Flint, Michigan who are predominantly black, drinking water riddled with poisons. That is before we even begin to consider the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump, a man with the racial sensitivity of a burning cross. Is it any wonder then, that stories of black individuals are so often ignored by the screenwriters of Hollywood? When the media presents black lives as nothing more than cannon fodder for a trigger happy police force, it is not too much of a stretch to imagine the story of a white individual suddenly becomes more valuable in the minds of producers. In turn, the Academy turns round and in answering the claim of a racially biased list of nominees blithely shrugs its shoulders whilst claiming no black actors have done anything of note that year.
This is of course because such roles are so few and far between. Don't get me wrong, I think Cate Blanchett is great, but do we really need yet another film where she plays a tragic victim of high society and spends two and a half hours alternating between an expression of mild surprise and heartbroken lip quivering. Likewise, Leonardo Di Caprio has acting talent seemingly sent from the God's, but must he be in every major production every year? Additionally, when Hollywood does make a film featuring a black protagonist or historical figure, could they at least attempt to find a story that is in someway not connected to either the civil rights movement or slavery? Surprising as it may be to Hollywood, black individuals have done incredible things in between those two facets of history. To lend a helping hand may I suggest a biopic about the great poet, novelist and playwright Langston Hughes? A young black man who helped founder the Harlem Renaissance movement and who also happened to be gay at a time when being so often resulted in imprisonment. I, for one, would rather pay money to see such a film over the three hour glorification of reckless financiering, Quaalude addiction and misogyny that was the Oscar winning Wolf of Wall Street.
While we're at it, the film industry in both countries should stop the self-congratulation every time it does produce a major motion picture with a black actor in, this doesn't prove how desperately forward thinking you are, its merely evidence of how far behind your industry is lagging. In the real world enormous strides have been made to rid the world of the scourge of racism and, finally it feels like progress is being made. America elected its first African-American president and just last year some of the Southern states of America began to acknowledge the connotations surrounding the Confederate flag and remove it from the rooftops of government buildings. Here in Britain, serious debates are being raised around the appropriateness of honouring colonial figures such as Cecil Rhodes with statues at some of this country's most recognisable landmarks. Whilst these debates will continue, they are nevertheless representative of a society that is finally beginning to accept the wealth of difference to be found in the human condition and actively campaign against those who still think something different means something to be feared. The film industry ties itself in knots asking what it can do about the plummeting rates of cinema attendance, threatened as they are by Netflix and similar streaming platforms. The answer lies not in gimmicks; no one wants a vibrating chair or a bigger bucket of popcorn, the want to see those on screen reflecting those sat in the aisles alongside them.
Film, Politics, Travel, Photography, History and Writing.
My biggest inspiration are writers whose work has commented on serious issues and inequalities within contemporary society through a humorous filter, particularly the late, great Christopher Hitchens and Fran Lebowitz.


I really enjoy diving. Seeing cool critters is, for me, the best part. And while I like I like pretty much everything I see down there, for some reason the puffers always make me smile.
Sometimes they're shy and back away or try to hide. But not this guy. He's just hanging and smiling for his close up.
Ok, not the best shot ever, but here because I like the behavior. It is a carry crab holding onto and upside down jelly fish and hiding under it as he scoots along the bottom.

Midnight Madness returns to pump up Students
Posted on October 11, 2018 in Campus, Sports, Uncategorized
12/2/17; Tampa, Fla.; University of Tampa men's & women's basketball vs. Lynn.
By Ana Braccialli
Midnight madness is here starting at 10 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 14 at the Bob Martinez Athletics Center. The annual Midnight madness signifies the beginning of practice season for the 2018-19 Tampa men's and women's basketball teams.
"It's a great way for our student-athletes to connect with the students and celebrate the start of the basketball season," Justin Pecka, associate head coach of the men's basketball team, said. "We're very excited to get out on the court in front of a crowd for the first time with this year's team."
The event is planned to begin at 9 p.m. with live music outside of the Martinez Center until 10 p.m. After that, the party will be moved inside of Martinez. Midnight Madness will be offering free food and giveaways from sponsors and student organizations around campus and a photo booth.
"I've gone to Midnight Madness every year since my freshman year," Leticia Barros, grad student in marketing, said. "It's always a fun time to spend with my friends, while we watch basketball and have free food."
The men's basketball team is feeling optimistic about this year's team. With a few additions in the roster, the team is ready for the season to begin.
"We'll play an exciting style, with lots of pressing and fast breaks," Pecka said. "We've added a few new players that we are excited about and think that, combined with our returning upperclassmen, will result in a good team."
According to Pat Bacon, point guard senior, the goal is to win the Sunshine State Conference (SSC) championship since they are more of a family right now.
"We get along with each other, we have fun," Bacon said. "This team is special because I feel we are always hungry to win games. Our mentality is to do anything possible to win."
The women's basketball team can be defined with the word "chemistry," even though they have several new players coming in this season.
"We have a lot of new players but we're quickly building chemistry," Emily Eshoo, point guard senior, said. "My teammates are very talented and fun to play with, so the fans can expect to have fun watching us too."
Even though the women's team is already struggling with injuries, they are determined to not let this factor affect the season.
"This team has good chemistry right now so that's a big plus," Thomas Jessee, head coach of the women's basketball team, said. "We have good size and seem to be deep but we only have 10 players due to some summer injuries. We will need to stay healthy all year in order to compete at a high level."
Both basketball teams are excited to have the entire student body in the stands at Midnight madness, however, they can get a little frustrated when people stop showing up throughout the season to watch the games.
"Regardless if we win or lose, we always appreciate our supporters," Eshoo said. "We put in a lot of time and hard work and we love seeing fans in the stands."
The basketball teams can see clearly how affected their rivals are when they go play away games and they have a good crowd cheering for the school.
"We play at a lot of schools that have great fan support and it really helps those teams," Pecka said. "I am asking our student body to take pride in their basketball team and come out and support them. Give them a chance to win you over as a fan too."
According to Jessee, creating school spirit at UT is still a possibility since he believes it only takes a small group of people to get it going.
"Be part of the solution, not part of the problem," Jessee said. "The campus at UT has great energy. With about 9000 students, there is no reason we can't create a loud, enthusiastic, exciting game environment. Student support is so critical to our success. We want students to come out and learn about our team, our conference, and the great basketball history here at UT. "

Climate change is screwing up the apples, according to a new study.
Temperatures in Japan's two biggest apple-growing regions have been steadily rising by about 1/3 of a degree every decade, and the subtle change correlates with changes to the taste and texture of the apples grown there.
Apples are the third most popular fruit worldwide, according to the researchers. They are also often eaten raw and whole, making texture and taste more important than with other fruits that are processed before eating.
Japanese scientists have been studying apples since 1970 in the two largest apple-growing regions in Japan, and think that rising temperatures over the last 40 years have led to earlier blooming periods and higher temperatures during maturation and ripening periods.
These changes have changed the taste and texture of the crops: The sweet, crisp Fuji apple — the most popular apple in the world — and the Tsugara, an also sweet apple highly popular in Japan, are becoming sweeter, but softer, every year.
The results were published in the journal Scientific Reports on August 15.
The researchers collected data from orchards following governmental recommended farming and soil-management techniques and restricted their data to apples collected from older, more stable trees to reduce variability.
They then measured the concentration of acids in the apples (both Fuji and Tsugaru apples are already among the sweeter varieties of apple).
Over time, the apples were losing acids — making them sweeter — but also growing softer and less crisp. This could be bad for farmers, since, as the researchers noted, firmer fruits tend to last longer on the shelf.
Of course, these changes are so subtle they are most likely missed by most consumers, and besides, who really remembers exactly how a Fuji apple tasted in 1970?
But, nonetheless, changes in climate are changing our food. How do you like them apples?

1. Signs of the Times!
These signs include: A dramatic upsurge in "famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places" (Matthew 24:7); "the Gospel being preached in all the world for a witness to all nations" (Matthew 24:14); a drastic increase in international travel, with "many running to and fro, wandering from sea to sea, as knowledge is greatly increased" (Daniel 12:4; Amos 8:11,12); a great "falling away" (2Thessalonians 2:3) from the Lord as "evil men and seducers grow worse and worse, deceiving many" (2Timothy 3:13); "the love of many growing cold" (Matthew 24:12), resulting in "distress of nations upon the earth and men's hearts failing them for fear!" (Luke 21:25,26).—Signs which are all obviously being fulfilled today more than ever before!
One of the most important and final signs of the very end that many prophets predicted is the rise of a totally godless world government led by a demonic dictator known as "the Beast" or the Antichrist, who will be possessed and controlled by Satan himself! This man will come to power with a 7-year agreement, a covenant (which could already be in effect secretly) in which he will promise the world peace and religious freedom, and will settle the Middle East crisis, working out a compromise between the Jews and the Arabs to enable the Jews to re-institute their traditional temple worship in Jerusalem. (Daniel 8:23-25; 2Thessalonians 2:1-4; Daniel 9:27.) He will also undoubtedly be instrumental in restoring the world's economy after the soon-coming global economic crash takes place!
4. The Mark of the Beast—666!
The Antichrist's worldwide suppression and persecution of all who refuse to worship him, plus the horrific nuclear war, will make this Great Tribulation period a time of trouble such as the world has never known. In fact, Jesus said, "Except those days be shortened [come to an end], there should no flesh be saved. But for the elect's [Christians'] sake, those days shall be shortened" (Matthew 24:21,22).
All of the Christians who have already died and gone on to be with Jesus will come back with Him to pick up their new resurrection bodies.—And "the earth shall cast out the dead!" (Isaiah 26:19). Then we who are alive and remain, having miraculously survived and kept witnessing for Jesus throughout the Antichrist's reign of terror' will instantly be changed, transformed' as we receive our new' miraculous, powerful' supernatural, resurrection bodies—just like Jesus' body after He was resurrected!—And up we'll sail towards the sky, "to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord!" (1Thessalonians 4:14–17; 1Corinthians 15:51–57; Philippians 3:21).
All of our anti-Christ enemies will be shocked as they see the Lord coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory' lighting up the whole sky like permanent lightning!—The powers of the heavens shaken!—The Lord descending with a great shout!—A terrific blast on the trumpet of God!—Graves of the saints bursting open as the dead are raised!—And all of God's children who are still alive, transformed before their eyes, flying upwards to meet Jesus! "Every eye shall see Him and all the tribes of the earth shall wail because of Him!" (Matthew 24:27-31; Revelation 1:7).
8. Feast in Heaven, but Hell on Earth!
10. God's New World Order!
The Lord says, "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection (the Rapture): On such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years" (Revelation 20:6). Jesus also promised to His faithful ones, "He that overcomes, and keeps My works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations [of surviving unsaved people]: And He shall rule them with a rod of iron [firm benign rule]" (Revelation 2:26,27).
During the Millennium, all of God's born-again, saved' resurrected people will be in new supernatural bodies, with amazing miraculous powers such as indestructibility' imperviousness to pain, sickness or death; possessing the abilities to appear and disappear' to fly' to communicate with each other by mental telepathy without speaking a word' etc.! So it will be fairly easy to rule over the unsaved inhabitants of earth with the wisdom, power, justice and love of Jesus and His personal leadership.
19. The Wonderful World to Come!
Prepare for the future today by receiving Jesus now! Simply pray, "Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and forgive me for all my sins. Help me to love and live for You, to hunger for Your truth, to learn Your word and to tell others about Your love.—In Your name I pray, amen."

Cystitis in Women: Causes, Symptoms, and How to Treat?
Cystitis in women is one of the most common diseases of the genitourinary system. Cystitis is considered a typically female disease. According to medical statistics, 80% of all patients with cystitis are women. This is understandable from the point of view of anatomy: the urinary tract in women is much shorter than in men, which means that pathogens (which are mostly the causative agents of cystitis) meet less resistance and make a quick way to the bladder. That is why women should empty their bladder more often, and if urinary retention occurs, the risk of developing cystitis increases significantly.
Cystitis affects not only the mucous membrane of the bladder. In general, this is a fairly complex disease that entails a lot of complications and discomfort.
Cystitis is one of the most common diseases of the genitourinary system, which affects the mucous membrane of the bladder. In the course of the pathological process, for one reason or another inflammation of the bladder mucosa occurs. According to medical statistics, 80% of all patients with cystitis are women.
What is Cystitis in Women?
Symptoms, diagnostic and treatment strategies depend on many factors:
The nature of the pathological process;
Localization of inflammation;
Type of pathogen.
Types of Cystitis in Women
Cystitis is divided into types according to several criteria:
Based on the type of pathogen: bacterial cystitis (chlamydia, urea-plasma, gonorrhea, other pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases, as well as staphylococci, streptococci, Escherichia coli and others) and non-bacterial cystitis (toxic, caused by medication, allergies);
By the nature of the course of the disease: acute cystitis (proceeding in the acute phase with the manifestation of typical symptoms) and chronic (proceeding in a latent form or recurrent);
Depending on the presence and type of organic (morphological) organ changes: ulcerative, catarrhal, cystic, etc.;
Based on the localization of the pathological process: cystitis of the mucous membrane of the bladder, affecting the submucosal layer, affecting the muscle layer.
Symptoms of Cystitis in Women
Pain with Cystitis
The nature and intensity of pain and discomfort with cystitis are purely individual and depend on the pain threshold, as well as on the degree of damage to the structures of the bladder themselves.
Not all people and not always experience intense pain (cramps, burning) with this pathology. In some cases, the disease can manifest itself only with mild discomfort in the lower abdomen and pubic area (heaviness, feeling of fullness). According to statistics, in this form, acute cystitis occurs in no more than 10% of women (more often "imperceptibly" pathology occurs in men). In most women, the disease is accompanied by intense pain, which is understandable: the woman's urethra is much wider and shorter, and this, as already mentioned, is the direct gateway to infection.
It is generally accepted that with cystitis, pain is localized only in the area of the bladder. This is not entirely true. Pain can often be radiating (wandering). Pain from cystitis passes into the lumbosacral spine and patients feel as if their back hurts.
Pain syndrome can also be localized in the coccyx area. Radiating pain can be pulling, aching or dull, regardless of the intensity of physical activity, or cutting and burning. The pain syndrome is especially pronounced when urinating. The patient is "haunted" by a feeling of fullness of the bladder, when urinating, there is severe pain in the urethra, bladder and back.
The pains are often accompanied by general symptoms of intoxication of the body: headache of varying intensity (localized in the forehead), weakness and rapid fatigue, hyperthermia (increased body temperature) to 37.5 – 38 °C. Pain and manifestations of intoxication are considered as a single symptom of pathology and are inseparable from each other, although with weakened immunity, the absence of hyperthermia is possible.
Cystitis with Blood in Women
In some cases, women with cystitis may notice that the urine has a pale pink or intense red hue. There can be two reasons for this: either we are talking about acute cystitis, or about a much more severe form of it – hemorrhagic cystitis. It is relatively easy to distinguish them, with an acute form of urine becomes reddish at the end of urination, with complicated cystitis – the urine is red throughout the entire act and retains its color during all subsequent trips to the toilet.
Most often, the cause of blood in the urine is a viral lesion of the bladder mucosa (the main pathogen in this case is adenovirus). In women, hemorrhagic cystitis manifests itself relatively rarely, since with frequent urination, viruses and their waste products are quickly excreted from the body, without having time to lead to the development of tissue degeneration.
However, not in all cases the cause lies in the infection; similar forms of cystitis are caused by the use of cytostatic drugs, radiation (radiation) injury (for example, with specific therapy for malignant neoplasms).
Also, among the causes of cystitis:
Injury to the walls of the bladder and urethra by foreign objects;
Lack of muscle tone in the bladder;
Stagnation in the bladder, leading to the development of degenerative changes;
Disorders of an anatomical nature (stenosis of the lumen of the urinary tract, compression of the structures of the excretory system by an oncological neoplasm).
Therefore, most often, cystitis with blood in women is a secondary pathology caused by one or another factor.
Acute cystitis with blood and hemorrhagic is very rare. There are intense pains of a constant, persistent nature.
Frequent False Urge to Urinate
The main manifestation of such forms of the disease is the release of blood. Despite the fact that blood begins to come out only a few hours after the onset of the acute phase, the intensity of bleeding can be so high that the blood, under the influence of specific substances that make up the urine, will coagulate, forming large blood clots. Blood clots, clogging the lumen of the urethra, entail a delay in the outflow of urine and, as a result, further complicate the patient's condition.
Itching and Burning with Cystitis
Itching and burning are perhaps the most frequent symptoms of cystitis in women after pain. Usually, both of these manifestations are observed with an allergic or infectious nature of the disease.
Cystitis in women is often associated with inflammatory lesions of the genital organs. One can be in a causal relationship with the other (for example, often with diseases of the vagina, colpitis, infectious agents can penetrate into the urethra due to its anatomical proximity and affect the bladder, as well as vice versa: an infection from the bladder with urine leaves the body and, getting on the external genital organs, leads to secondary colpitis).
Itching and burning are also often manifested in the allergic origin of cystitis. An allergen is recognized by the patient's immune system as an antigen, as a result of which the immune system produces specific antibodies to fight the "dangerous offender". As a result of the reaction, the antigen-antibody complex settles on mast cells (basophils) located in the region of the urethra and urethra. Under the influence of the complex, the basophils are destroyed, releasing in large quantities the substance histamine, which is a mediator of itching (i.e., a substance that irritates the epidermal nerve endings) and causes an intolerable sensation of itching and burning.
Cystitis in Women
For similar reasons, in inflammatory lesions, itching and burning are also observed: infectious agents and toxic products of their vital activity (with a bacterial origin of the disease) or specific substances contained in medicines accumulate in large quantities in the urine. When leaving, these substances act on the superficial nerve endings.
In general, a symptom such as itching with 95% probability indicates an allergic or infectious nature of cystitis, which means that concomitant lesions of the vaginal mucosa are possible.
Can There Be A Temperature with Cystitis?
To correctly answer the question, you need to understand why the body temperature rises. Hypothermia occurs as a result of an acute immune reaction to a substance or microorganism of foreign origin. At temperatures above 37 °C, pathogens lose their former activity, and the intensity of their vital activity decreases sharply. Almost always, infectious cystitis is accompanied by an increase in body temperature in the range from 37.5 to 38.2 °C. This normal occurrence is indicative of a strong immune system capable of resisting infection. The height of the numbers largely depends on the direct causative agent of the disease.
Temperature with Cystitis
How and how to bring down the temperature?
For this reason, even cystitis of an infectious nature may not lead to an increase in temperature. So, for example, the causative agent of tuberculosis in the first stages of the disease does not reveal itself with an increase in temperature, while most sexually transmitted infections and even adenovirus cause significant hyperthermia, up to values of 39° C.
An excessively high temperature that threatens the patient's life with this disease rarely rises. If this happens, it means that the disease is severe and you should immediately seek emergency medical help. Therefore, cystitis should not be considered such a harmless pathology. It is necessary to carefully monitor the dynamics of body temperature. Otherwise, a huge variety of complications may develop, up to the involvement of the kidneys in the pathological process, the onset of acute renal failure and death.
Causes of Cystitis in Women
As noted earlier, the disease in the overwhelming majority of cases develops in women, which is due to the short and wide canal of the urethra, the close location of the anus and vagina (as you know, even opportunistic micro-flora of the mucous membranes of the colon and vagina can cause the development of inflammation of the bladder, often it also happens that pathogenic microorganisms live on the mucous membranes, which do not manifest themselves until a certain point).
In 85-90% of cases, cystitis in women develops precisely because of the penetration of a pathogenic or opportunistic microorganism (infectious cystitis). The pathogen does not always enter the bladder from the vagina or anus.
The penetration routes can be different:
Descending path. The infection can pass from the kidneys to the bladder.
Upward path. What has already been named – from the outside through the urethra into the bladder.
Hematogenous pathway. It is relatively rare for a bacterium or virus to enter the bladder through the bloodstream. The cause can be any focus of an infectious lesion in the body, however, the chance that a pathogenic agent gets, for example, from the tonsils into the bladder, is extremely small, but still there.
Lymphogenous pathway. The pathogen enters the bladder from the inflamed pelvic organs.
However, in addition to infectious origin, cystitis can develop due to:
Taking some medicines. These include, for example, cytostatic drugs used to combat malignant neoplasms. During the processing of such substances by the body, the metabolite acrolein is synthesized, which actively irritates the mucous membrane of the urinary bladder, thereby causing the development of toxic (medicinal) cystitis;
Allergic reactions. Allergies are often local in nature. In some cases, the bladder is affected.
Very rarely, cystitis in women occurs in isolation. The reasons themselves, for the most part, are conducive to the development of a general inflammatory process in the pelvic organs: this is wearing tight synthetic underwear, and frequent changes of a sexual partner, and neglect of the rules of intimate hygiene. All this leads to the fact that the woman herself creates favorable conditions for the reproduction of representatives of pathogenic microflora. According to statistics, about 80% of cystitis pathogens are Escherichia coli, 10-15% are staphylococcus and about 4-5% are other pathogens, such as Klebsiella, Proteus amoeba, etc…
There are several factors that increase your risk of developing cystitis:
Vaginal inflammation (colpitis) and sexually transmitted diseases. With the anatomical proximity of the vagina and urethra, the onset of cystitis is only a matter of time;
The same can be said about constipation and other intestinal problems (colitis, etc.). Microorganisms from the large intestine, also due to the anatomical proximity of the anus and external genital organs, are capable of provoking the formation of an acute form of the disease;
Nephrological diseases: kidney stones, nephritis and pyelonephritis, urinary retention. According to the descending principle, the infection often descends from the kidneys into the bladder, and with stagnation of urine, very serious pathologies and forms of the disease can develop.
Peak hormonal conditions. Pregnancy, menstrual cycle, menopause, etc. The reason lies in the change in the hormonal background and, as a result, the microflora of the mucous membranes of the vagina and urethra;
Among the predisposing factors are also endocrine diseases, especially diabetes mellitus;
The risk group includes allergy sufferers, as well as cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Regardless of the causes and source of the disease, cystitis includes a characteristic symptomatic complex:
Frequent and painful urination. Burning, drawing pains in the bladder and urethra;
The urge to urinate may be false;
Urinary incontinence (sometimes);
Increased urge at night without increased urine production.
Constant pain in the pubis and perineum, radiating to the lower back and tailbone. Pronounced pain at the beginning and end of the act of urination;
Dark color of urine, or cloudy, with impurities of pus;
General manifestations of intoxication.
If the reason lies in allergies, it may develop excruciating itching and burning in the urethra.
Complications and Consequences of Cystitis
Cystitis is by no means a harmless disease, and the principles of "something to drink" and "it will pass by itself" do not work here.
If the course of the necessary treatment is not carried out in time, the consequences can be more than dire:
Kidney damage occurs along the ascending path. According to medical statistics, in 95% of cases, untreated cystitis causes severe kidney disease: pyelonephritis, nephritis. The most formidable consequence is renal failure, which is formed due to excessive poisoning of the tissues of the paired organ with the waste products of the infectious agent;
Women can suffer from the return of urine from the bladder back to the kidneys. This is extremely rare. More often, a similar syndrome (vesicoureteral reflux) develops in children;
Long-term and at the same time ineffective treatment can lead to organic changes in the tissues of the organ. Degeneration of the epithelium occurs and, as a result, the bladder loses its elasticity, loses its ability to regenerate, and decreases in size. This consequence makes a person hostage to cystitis and increases the risk of bladder rupture;
If specific treatment is not carried out in a timely manner, the risk of the disease becoming chronic is high. Chronic cystitis, especially infectious (and most often it happens) is a source of constant inflammation. As observations show, cystitis is almost never an isolated pathology. Nearby organs are more often affected. Therefore, women suffering from chronic cystitis are at risk of becoming infertile: with relapses of the disease, an exacerbation of colpitis develops, followed by the formation of adhesions in the structures of the uterus. Thus, cystitis indirectly contributes to a decrease in reproductive function up to its absolute loss;
While it is difficult to call stress and depression direct complications of cystitis, they are. If the pathology is not cured in time, it becomes chronic. Relapses of the disease are frequent, and can happen almost several times a month. The disease exerts the strongest psychological pressure on a person, literally making a healthy member of society a hostage to the toilet. In addition, a dominant is formed in the human mind;
Weakening of the sphincter of the bladder. May lead to the development of urinary incontinence. Most often, it develops in older people.
Diagnosis of Cystitis
Primary diagnostics includes full-time examination by specialized specialists: urologist, nephrologist, gynecologist.
Specialists collect anamnesis and establish possible causes of the onset of the disease.
When collecting anamnesis, doctors are especially careful about risk factors:
Unprotected intercourse;
Hypothermia;
Excessive emotional stress;
Medicines taken
The presence of concomitant diseases and pathologies (in the area of the pelvic organs in the first place).
Laboratory Research
Delivery of a general blood test. In general, according to the results, a picture of the inflammatory process is formed, an increase in ESR, leukocytosis is possible. However, there may be no blood changes at all. A general blood test shows whether there are more dangerous diseases "masquerading" as cystitis: oncology, etc…;
Delivery of a general urine test. Erythrocytes, leukocytes, protein are found in the urine, the urine itself is cloudy, it may be mixed with blood or pus. In the hemorrhagic form of the disease, the urine is pink;
Delivery of urine analysis for crops according to Nechiporenko. Helps to identify the causative agent of the disease.
Among the instrumental methods, two main ones are used:
Ureteroscopy and cystoscopy. Endoscopic examinations are aimed at visual examination of the state of the mucous membranes of the urethra and bladder. Despite the discomfort during these procedures, their information content is extremely high.
Ultrasound examination of the bladder. Allows you to determine organic changes on the part of the organ.
How to Remove an Attack of Cystitis?
Cystitis Prevention
Acute cystitis attacks are extremely painful for patients. The intensity of pain and discomfort can be very high. First and foremost, how to relieve an acute attack of cystitis is to consume as much fluid as possible. Many people believe that with cystitis, you need to drink less water, then the pain and other manifestations will go away. This is a fundamentally misunderstanding of the problem. Without enough water, an attack can take a long time. Due to increased fluid intake, foreign substances and microorganisms are quickly evacuated from the body, and pain relief occurs.
In severe cases, it is recommended to resort to medication:
The best solution would be to take antispasmodics. They eliminate spasms and contribute to a decrease in the tone of the smooth muscles of the bladder: No-shpa, Spazmalgon, Papaverine, etc.;
In addition to antispasmodics, pain relievers analgesics (reducing the conductivity of nerve endings). Analgin, Ketorol and others;
In no case should you take antibacterial drugs on your own. Taking antibiotics is guaranteed to lead to a change in the picture of laboratory tests, and a specialist will not be able to establish the source and cause of the disease. Such measures are fraught with insufficient impact on the source of the problem. By self-medication, the patient can only drown out the disease and remove the symptoms, but the disease will turn into a chronic form;
If the diagnosis is confirmed and already known to the patient, antibacterial drugs can be taken. Among the effective drugs are Nolitsin, Furadonin, Monural. Furadonin is at the same time a powerful diuretic, therefore, it is recommended to combine the intake of these drugs with increased fluid intake (it is better to stay on plain pure non-carbonated water).
In all other cases, it is better not to self-medicate. Attacks of complicated cystitis (with blood, hemorrhagic, etc.) are removed exclusively in a hospital setting. Otherwise, life-threatening bleeding may develop.
How to Treat Cystitis in Women?
Treatment of cystitis is a responsible event that requires the efforts of several specialists at once: urologist, gynecologist, nephrologist. With proper therapy, a complete cure for cystitis occurs after 7-12 days from the start of treatment.
Since most often cystitis in women develops due to an infectious lesion, specific therapy is aimed at destroying pathogens.
Means for the regeneration of the bladder mucosa. One of the newer terms in the treatment of chronic cystitis is glycosaminoglycan. Therapy with its use refers to substitution. A healthy bladder has a protective layer on the inside; it is a membrane that protects the walls of the bladder from contact with urine and bacteria in it. Glycosaminoglycans (which include the well-known hyaluronic acid), as well as chondroitin sulfate, and form this shell. And its destruction due to various factors is one of the causes of cystitis. Therefore, the introduction of the components of the protective layer into the bladder will help regenerate the membrane and restore its protective properties. These drugs include: Monurel, Urolife, Uro-hyal.
Antibiotics In recent years, drugs from the group of fluoroquinolones, for example, ciprofloxacin (Ciprolet A, Cifran), and nitrofurans (Furadonin), and other antibiotics for cystitis have proven their effectiveness. Taking these drugs is possible only as directed by a specialist.
If the diagnostic results reveal specific pathogens, appropriate anti fungal, antimicrobial or antiviral drugs are prescribed.
Treatment of Cystitis
Anti-inflammatory drugs. They are essential to fight cystitis as it is an inflammatory disease. The most effective is Ibuprofen, which can be found in pharmacies under different trade names: Nurofen, Ibuklin, Mig, Faspik and others.
With severe pain. To eliminate severe pain, antispasmodics and analgesics are recommended: No-shpa, Drotaverin, Papaverin, Diclofenac, Nimesil (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
Herbal preparations. It is also recommended to take herbal preparations for cystitis: Canephron, Cyston, Fitolizin, Monurel (cranberry-based drug).
Herbs. In the absence of allergy to medicinal herbs, it is allowed to take herbal teas based on lingonberry, horsetail, bearberry. Preference should be given to unpackaged products.
Probiotics. They are used to normalize the microflora of the vagina and intestines, since it is precisely such infections that are often the root cause of cystitis. For this, preparations with lacto and bifidobacteria are effective: RioFlora Balance, Bifiform, Hilak Forte, Acipol, RioFlora Immuno. Taking probiotics will allow you to avoid re-illness and cope with the chronic form of cystitis.
Water. To quickly eliminate toxins from the body, it is recommended to increase the daily volume of fluid intake.
All medications should only be taken as directed by your doctor and in the dosage prescribed by him. Remember that exceeding the dose of any drug on the list can be hazardous to your health.
Home Remedies of Cystitis
Dill seeds. They have a bactericidal effect and are therefore effective in cystitis. Decoction of ordinary dill seeds helps relieve inflammation and reduce pain.
To prepare the broth, grind dry seeds (for example, in a coffee grinder), put them in a thermos (or wrap them with a blanket) and pour boiling water over: 1 tablespoon of raw materials per 1 cup of boiling water. The broth is insisted for 2-3 hours, half a glass is taken 1-2 times a day.
Chamomile. This popularly known anti-inflammatory agent is also effective for cystitis. Effectively destroys bacteria, relieves spasms, relieves pain. To prepare the broth, take dry chamomile flowers, chop and fill with boiling water: 1 tablespoon of flowers – a glass of boiling water. Insist for 15 minutes, then strain. Take 1/3 cup 3 times daily with meals.
Parsley. These fragrant greens are effective in killing bacteria. For cystitis, a decoction is also used: 1-2 tablespoons of fresh crushed leaves are poured with two glasses of cold water. Insist the remedy for 8 hours and then take in small portions throughout the day.
Bearberry. It has a strong diuretic effect, due to which it removes bacteria from the bladder. Therefore, it should be taken with caution if you have kidney disease. And also during pregnancy and lactation. Bearberry should also not be given to children under 12 years old. To prepare the solution, pour 1 tablespoon of bearberry leaves with a glass of boiling water and place in a hot water bath for 30 minutes. Then cool and strain. Take a tablespoon 5-6 times a day.
Prevention of Cystitis – Useful Tips for Women
It is imperative to follow the rules of personal hygiene. For washing, you need to choose funds that are neutral in their acid-base properties. Proper intimate care is the key to the absence of relapses.
It is recommended to empty the bladder as often as possible. Stagnation of urine is fraught with the development of complications.
Hypothermia should not be allowed. Keep your feet warm and dry.
At the time of exacerbation of the disease, it is worth increasing the volume of fluid consumed to 2-2.5 liters per day: water, fresh natural juices, cranberry juice. You should refrain from drinking carbonated water and artificial drinks.
Both with acute cystitis and with exacerbation of chronic cystitis, you should refuse to wear tight synthetic underwear.
Constipation indirectly affects the risk of developing cystitis. Therefore, preventive measures also include methods for improving intestinal motility.
FAQ: Answers to Popular Questions
Which Doctor Should I Go For Cystitis?
The first step is to make an accurate diagnosis. A specialist working with the problems of the human excretory system is a urologist. With a visit to the urologist, you should start the fight against cystitis. To clarify the diagnosis, the first thing to do is to pass a urine test. In most typical cases, this is sufficient. Only a urologist can correctly and unambiguously interpret the results of laboratory research. In addition, the urologist prescribes urine sampling for bacterial culture according to Nechiporenko, cystoscopy and ultrasound examination of the bladder.
Based on the complexity of cystitis, it is imperative to visit a gynecologist. Often, cystitis in women is provoked by sexually transmitted diseases, but even if the reason is in other infectious agents, it is important to exclude colpitis and uterine lesions in order to timely protect yourself from loss of reproductive function, and also to minimize the risk of developing chronic pathologies of the genital organs.
You should also visit a nephrologist. Kidney diseases, which often occur after cystitis, are most dangerous for the life and health of the patient. In the early stages, kidney disease may not be visible. This is just an illusion. In fact, there is an active degeneration of the kidney tissue and the loss of its functions by the organ. In order to protect yourself from the appearance of renal failure (and therefore from the need for hemodialysis, donor kidney transplantation, death), it is important to plan a trip to the nephrologist immediately upon detection of suspicious symptoms.
Thus, three specialists should be consulted: urologist, nephrologist and gynecologist.
Is It Possible to Have Sex with Cystitis? Is It Sexually Transmitted?
Cystitis is an inflammatory disease of the bladder. Of course, it is simply impossible to become infected with cystitis through sexual intercourse.
However, there is a high probability of transmission to the partner of those infectious agents that caused cystitis. But it is necessary to make a reservation, the transmission of pathogenic microflora is possible only if the disease is of infectious origin. In all other cases, the partner is safe.
As for the other aspect of this issue, everything is not so simple here. Most competent experts recommend that women abstain from sexual activity during the illness.
There are several reasons for this:
During sexual intercourse, pressure can be exerted on the inflamed bladder, and here the consequences are the most unpredictable: from the return of urine back to the kidneys and their subsequent damage to the rupture of the bladder. In addition, increased symptoms are guaranteed;
Even if the patient has undergone treatment, the risk of recurrence remains;
The most obvious answer to the question asked is that sex during acute cystitis is not a pleasant activity. A woman is more likely to experience a lot of painful and uncomfortable sensations.
However, if you cannot do without sexual contact, you need to adhere to the recommendations:
Immediately before sex, wash your body and thoroughly treat your hands;
Avoid touching the vagina. During cystitis, the mucous membrane is exposed to increased stress, since it is impossible to completely protect it from the ingress of urine particles;
If there is a suspicion of concomitant damage to the uterus, exclude deep penetration;
At the end of intimacy, be sure to rinse the external genitals;
Use barrier contraception (condoms only).
Cystitis After Intimacy, What Are the Reasons?
The development of cystitis after sex is not a far-fetched problem. Postcoital cystitis (also called "honeymoon syndrome") occurs in about 45% of cases. As a rule, it is detected after the first sexual contact.
The most common, but at the same time the most difficult to eliminate, is a congenital anomaly of the genitourinary system. If injuries were observed in the perineal region, the anomaly may be acquired. It consists in the fact that the opening of the urethra is displaced relative to its normal position downward and inward, into the vaginal area. This is the displacement of the urethral canal. Another type of anomaly is also possible, excessive channel mobility. Both pathologies are relatively easy to detect with a finger examination by a gynecologist. As a result, during sexual intercourse, the urethra is actively involved and irritated. The walls of the urethral canal are covered with micro tears and cracks. This is a direct gateway to infection. The damaged mucous membrane becomes inflamed, and further along the ascending path the infection penetrates into the bladder.
Another common cause is lack of proper hygiene. The partner may not be aware of this, while many microorganisms are located on the surface of the penis. As a result, the woman's urethra is attacked by an infectious agent. Also, this group of reasons includes the alternation of vaginal sex and anal sex without changing the condom or without it at all. In this case, the causative agent of cystitis is the intestinal microflora (bacillus).
Vaginal dryness. Due to excessive dryness of the vaginal mucosa, tissue cracking occurs. As a result, colpitis, which quickly provokes the development of the disease. In this case, cystitis becomes a secondary disease. Therefore, you cannot have sex in the absence of desire and sufficient hydration of the genitals of a woman.
It is also worth remembering about the causative agents of sexually transmitted diseases. If the partner is sick or is a carrier, the woman quickly becomes infected, and in this case, there is a risk of not only developing a sexually transmitted disease directly, but also secondary cystitis.
Is It Possible to Play Sports with Cystitis?
In this case, everything is purely individual and depends on the patient's condition and the severity of the course of cystitis. However, a number of physical activities must be abandoned.
Visits to fitness clubs. Aerobics and exercise can lead to mechanical irritation of the urethra and bladder, as a result, the symptoms will significantly worsen;
Swimming. Swimming is allowed, but no longer than 10-20 minutes. Prolonged exposure to cold water (30-50 minutes) is guaranteed to lead to local hypothermia. As a result of cooling, local immunity will decrease, within literally a few hours the symptoms of cystitis will become more pronounced. It is recommended to give up swimming not only for women with acute cystitis, but also for those who suffer from a chronic form of the disease. Long swimming in the pool is a direct path to relapse. Swimming is permissible without time limits only in pools where the water temperature does not drop below 30-35° C;
Winter sports. Almost all winter sports involve prolonged exposure to the cold. In such conditions, the risk of hypothermia and aggravation of the course of the disease increases significantly. People who are keen on figure skating are advised to dress as warmly as possible, cover the pelvic and perineal area, and in no case should sit on the ice;
Active sports associated with increased physical activity and a sharp increase in intra-abdominal pressure are excluded: boxing, wrestling, cycling, etc.
However, there are a number of sports that are recommended for cystitis. They evenly tense the muscles of the body and do not entail significant fatigue. These are jogging, walking, basketball, volleyball. Dancing is also allowed. It is important to remember that clothing must also be suitable. It is harmful to wear tight tight clothing. A sports suit should not be tight-fitting; preference should be given to light, but at the same time warm clothing made from natural materials.
Is It Possible to Take A Hot Bath with Cystitis?
In general, the issue is very controversial. To answer it, one must again proceed from the patient's condition at the moment and the course of the disease. It is possible to take warm (warm, but not hot) baths only at the stage when cystitis does not yet show itself with specific symptoms. In this case, light warming up is not only not contraindicated, but also useful.
As soon as one of the following symptoms appears, thermal treatments are strictly contraindicated:
Muscle spasms (sharp cramping pains in the lower abdomen and pubis);
Burning and cramps when urinating;
Blood or pus in the urine.
If you continue warming up after acute symptoms are detected, there is a risk of opening life-threatening bleeding.
During menstruation or pregnancy complicated by cystitis, hot baths are strictly contraindicated (miscarriage is possible).
If we are talking only about the initial stages of the disease, warming up is allowed, but they should be applied only within reasonable limits:
Warming up with dry heat. The salt is heated in a dish to 38-40 ° C, poured into a cloth bag and applied to the sore spot;
Foot baths. The basin is filled with warm water, after which you should take a foot bath for 10-20 minutes. Then the feet are wiped dry and warm socks are put on;
Sitting baths. In the early stages of the development of cystitis, you can take sits baths with the addition of medicinal herbs. In this case, the water temperature should not exceed 37 ° C, and the duration of the bath should be up to 10 minutes. Even a warm bath is prohibited in cases where, in addition to the bladder, other organs are affected: kidneys, etc.;
Warm shower. The best way to relieve cystitis and conduct hygiene procedures during the course of the disease;
Warming up with warm hands. A palm is placed in the bladder area for several hours;
Warming compress with eucalyptus oil. Effective in the absence of acute symptoms. But it is contraindicated for allergies.
Could There Be A Delay in Menstruation with Cystitis?
There is no direct causal relationship between cystitis and menstrual irregularities. However, as mentioned earlier, cystitis in women rarely occurs only with damage to the bladder. Rising, the infection often affects the genitals, including the uterus and ovaries located in the abdominal cavity.
The ovaries are responsible for the production of estrogen, a specific female hormone that itself helps to normalize the menstrual cycle. When the infection spreads to the ovaries, the rate of estrogen production decreases. As a result, the cycle is disrupted, and then a delay in menstruation is possible.

I thought I won't be able to find a serum as good as the Kerastase one. But I did! 😀 I picked up a few Bumble & Bumble products during my trip. This invisible oil / serum was one of them. I saw the whole claim list and I was a bit sold on the product. Except that nasty dimethicone (which they don't think is harmful for hair), I was totally wanting to give this a go.
It is a light weight oil/ serum that makes your hair look and feel soooo good that you'd be surprised at the results. It an orange coloured serum that looks pretty transparent when you pump out the product.
It tames frizz like magic.
It leaves hair soft and shiny.
Can be use on dry or wet hair. Work s both ways.
A little goes a long way. I barely use a pump for my shoulder length hair.
Gets absorbed in the hair quickly leaving your hair manageable and soft.
Contains a whoooole lot of good ingredients.
It looks like a blessing. Any idea if we can buy it in India?
WOW! this sounds amazing Rati…totally drool-worthy!!
Wow! I will try my best to get my hands on it!
Wow hope I can get my hands on this ♥ thanks dear for reviewing..
Oh and am missing the Monday morning post too :(.. lost count on how many times I refreshed the page..


New Zealand is dealing with its gun problem — why can't we?
Contrast that with the United States, where just since 1970, more Americans have died from guns (1.45 million, including murders, suicides and accidents) than died in all the wars in U.S. history (1.4 million). More Americans die from guns every 10 weeks than died in the entire Afghanistan and Iraq wars combined, yet we still don't have gun-safety rules as rigorous as New Zealand's even before the mosques were attacked.
The National Rifle Association (not to be confused with the vast majority of gun owners) will turn to its old smoke-and-mirrors standby, arguing that the killer's hate, not his guns and bullets, were the real problem.
Why can't leaders in America learn from experience, the way leaders in other countries do? After a massacre in Australia in 1996, the government there took far-reaching action to tighten gun policy. In contrast, every day in America, another hundred people die from gun violence and 300 more are injured — and our president and Congress do nothing.
It's also true that there are no simple solutions. The U.S. now has more guns than people, so criminals have a steady supply — and so do ordinary Americans at a time when suicides are at a 30-year high.
But gun laws do make a difference. When Connecticut tightened licensing laws in 1995, firearm homicide rates dropped by 40 percent. And when Missouri eased gun laws in 2007, gun homicide rates surged by 25 percent.
Polls show some measures have broad backing. For starters, more than 90 percent even of gun owners support universal background checks to ensure that people are legally allowed to own a gun before they buy one.
Astonishingly, about 22 percent of guns in the U.S. are still acquired without a background check. In parts of the U.S., you need a more thorough background check to adopt a dog than to acquire a semi-automatic AR-15 weapon.
The House passed a bill last month to require universal background checks, but it has little chance in the Senate this year.
Another basic step: Keep guns out of the hands of people shown to present a danger to themselves or others, such as when they are suicidal or threatening a domestic partner. Fourteen states have such "red flag" laws, and similar legislation is before Congress to achieve something similar at a national level.
We should likewise invest more in "smart guns" that can be fired only by an authorized person; it's outrageous that my phone requires a pin or fingerprint but that an AR-15 doesn't. That would help with the estimated 200,000 guns stolen each year.
The regulatory model to follow is automobiles. We haven't outlawed cars, but we have required safety modifications (seat belts, air bags) and limited access to them (licenses, bans after drunken driving) in ways that have sharply reduced the fatality rate per miles driven.
If we took this approach to guns, many Americans would still die. But experts have suggested to me that we could plausibly reduce gun deaths by about one-third, saving 13,000 lives a year.
Slowly, the tide of public opinion is shifting. The NRA's extremism is turning some people off, and it seems on the defensive, so eventually we may follow New Zealand. But how many more people will die before the president and Congress act?

Lady Gaga says fame can be toxic
October 19, 2016 by Elvis Michael Leave a Comment
Gaga: "I need human connection in order to write music"
Lady Gaga says the price of fame can be steep, as it's both "alienating" and "toxic." The star credits her success to connecting with other people and insists a "human connection" helps her compose great songs.
She said on SiriusXM's Feedback show: "Fame is so alienating and it's toxic for the creative process, for me, because I need human connection in order to write music. If I go to a bar or to the grocery store or wherever and I try to talk to somebody and the whole time they're screaming or trying to take a picture, I can't get to know them.
I can't ask them a question. I can't learn about their life or share something about mine. I don't get asked very often, you know, really super deep things about myself and that is hard and it's scary. Really scary because you just feel like, 'Will I ever, ever again talk to somebody and have them see me as a person?'"
And the star says that while her new album carries a lot of emotion, it isn't meant to be this way from beginning to end.
"I wouldn't say that it's necessarily thematically painful the whole way through – because it's quite a fun album as well. The pain is in my voice."
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga recently admitted it's difficult to compose music when "negative thoughts" invade her head, adding: "I get blocked by my own trauma sometimes. The darkness, the loop of negative thoughts on repeat, clamours and interferes with the music I hear in my head. When I'm making music, I can hear all the parts, all the instruments. I can hear what it should be.
You start to get into a zone — what I would also describe as a mindfulness. You have to be aware that there are unwanted things coming in, but there is clarity in there, too, and you have to find it."


Viennese artist Hermann Kitsch has concluded a landmark 75th Painting Action, comprising 12 paintings for his new solo exhibition at Marc Straus. The paintings are dedicated to the owners of the gallery Marc and Livia Straus.
Co-founder of the Viennese Actionism Movement and the creator of the Das Orgien Mysterien Theater, Hermann Nitsch is one of the most influential artists today having steadfastly devoted his many years to a singular, uncompromising vision. From the outset, Nitsch's vision has been anchored in the Wagnerian ideal of a complete work of art, a Gesamtkunstwerk, which indissolubly combines painting, theater, drawing, music, print-making, philosophy and life itself.
In reaction to the silence enveloping Austria after the Second World War, Nitsch has been performing his Painting Actions since 1960. Here in his most recent 75th Action he is at his apogee: the resulting 12 large paintings capture his intensity and ecstatic fervor. Predominantly red with bouts of brilliant greens, blues and yellows, each painting is the record of Nitsch's enunciation of passion, devotion and love. In a gesture of affection to Marc and Livia Straus, Nitsch has dedicated these works to the couple to acknowledge their lifelong patronage of the arts. Indeed, Love is not usually associated with his work, but here one can see how it is the foundation and wellspring.
An epitomizing graphic work is the monumental Grablegung (Entombment of Christ) from 2007, a complex work emblematic of Nitsch's considerable abilities as a technical draftsman. Here, Dead Christ is guided into an architectonic diagram of a sepulcher by flanking figures. The entrails, bodily organs, and the anatomical style of the drawing, all recurring motifs in his oeuvre, dissect and emphasize Man's corporeal nature. The work is printed on an original cotton relic used in a performance, and further overpainted.
Music is one of the core pillars of Nitsch's work, a sensory dimension that has its roots in the primal scream and in moments of excitation. For the exhibition, Nitsch will perform an organ recital in the largest room of the gallery, where its natural acoustics recall a cathedral.
Hermann Nitsch (b. 1938, Vienna, Austria) lives and works at Prinzendorf Castle on the Zaya River, Lower Austria. His works are exhibited in the two Nitsch Museums in Mistelbach and Naples as well as in the Nitsch Foundation in Vienna and can be found in the permanent collections of preeminent international museums including: MoMA, Guggenheim, The Metropolitan Museum New York, Tate Modern London, The Centre Pompidou Paris, Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich and many more. He has had numerous solo museum exhibits worldwide. Most recently he concluded his 150th Action performance in Tasmania. Nitsch is represented by MARC STRAUS, New York.
