Brief Description: EVENT NARRATIVE: The tornado initially touched down around just north of Piney Grove Church Road, and damage was limited to minor tree and structural damage. The tornado then tracked northeast, over bare fields and stands of mature trees for approximately three quarters of a mile, twisting off mature trees, before producing significant damage at the intersection of NC Hwy 222 and Crumpler Road. The strongest evidence of EF-2 damage was at this intersection, where a well-constructed single level brick home was destroyed. The entire roof was blown off this home, a large pine tree fell through the kitchen. All of the walls on the west side of the house were missing. In addition, one vehicle was flipped upside down and another, with an attached trailer, was moved approximately 30 feet down the home???s driveway. The family of 4 was awakened as the damage occurred, but by great fortune, none sustained any injury. As the tornado crossed Scott Road, a double-wide mobile home was removed from its foundation and flipped approximately 50 feet. A 61 year old female occupant of this mobile home was killed, while her husband was transported to a medical facility. In addition, three other double-wide mobile homes were condemned as they sustained significant structural damage to roofs and southwest-facing exterior walls. A pickup truck was completely overturned in one of the driveways. Continuing northeast, the tornado moved across the Kenly International Airport. The tornado was likely aloft at this point, producing EF-1 damage to trees, but there was considerable debris from the homes on Scott Road strewn about the airport grounds. A portion of an open aircraft hangar constructed of sheet tin over a wooden frame was twisted and destroyed. There was also some damage to the Cessna 150 housed in this hangar. The tornado then crossed into southwest Wilson county causing damage to several mobile homes along Fabwhitley Road. Several other homes in the Lucama area suffered minor damage from the strong winds. The tornado finally lifted off the ground just north of Newsom Mill Road near a local racetrack. EPISODE NARRATIVE: Two mini-supercells tracked northeast along a warm front during the early morning hours of the 15th. The two supercells spawned several tornadoes in Samspon, Johnston, and Wilson counties, two of which resulted in two fatalities.

Join the Florida Trail Association in the 6th Annual Osceola Maintenance Marathon on the Osceola National Forest!
The Osceola National Forest is a natural gem. These forested woodlands and swamps provide many opportunities for a wide range of visitor experiences. Among the significant landscapes found here are the Pinhook Swamp, a mosaic of wet pine flatwoods and pocosin swamp along the forest's northern boundary; Big Gum Swamp, a wilderness area with more than 13,000 acres of cypress-sweetgum swamp, found near the center of the forest; and Ocean Pond, a large, shallow lake popular for recreation and important in Florida's Civil War history.
Camping is provided at The Group Landing, one of the best group campsites around. Bring your kayak to this event and slip away for an evening paddle after work from our own private beach.
Volunteers will work to maintain 21 miles of trail through the National Forest using a combination of hand tools and power equipment. No previous experience is necessary and all tools and equipment will be provided by the FTA.
Arrive by November 1st no earlier than 4pm and share a meal with the crew before work begins on November 2nd. The project ends at 4pm on November 9th and no dinner will be provided on that last day. Come volunteer and share a meal with great friends around the campfire!
1. From the intersection of Hwy 441 and Hwy 90 in Lake City, FL, head east on US 90 for 12.6 miles.
2. Turn left at the flashing light onto Pine Street.
3. Cross over the railroad tracks.
3. After about half a mile, you will see a sign directing you to turn left and proceed to The Landing.
4. Turn onto the first road on the left and you will soon see the gate for the facility.
Registrations are first-come, first served by date time stamp. You will receive an email confirmation within 72 hours. The FTA reserves a 10-person wait list and will notify individuals on the wait list within two (2) weeks of the project date.

Abstract: Maharashtra is the third largest urbanized state in India after Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The growth in urban population rose by 23.7 per cent during the last decade. The trends of urbanization show that there has been a steady increase in urban population in Maharashtra State since the year 1901 and there has been a rapid increase during the last decade. This paper attempts to study the trends of urban population in districts of Maharashtra during the last century with the help of Geographical Information System (GIS). A study of the level of urbanization also gives an insight into the varying trends of population growth. An attempt is also made to study the trends in urban literacy and urban sex ratio in districts of Maharashtra state. The study of the patterns of male and female literacy and the resultant gender gap in literacy is also explored. It is alarming to note that child sex ratio has decreased in some districts....

Title : How do I translate "Evandi" into English?
Authors : Swati Dhara
Abstract: Translation is a challenging process. Finding the true translation equivalent is more challenging. A translator is no less than an artist because he converts a message from a source language into the desired target language without missing the essence in the message. This art can be fruitful only when perfect translation equivalences are located in the target language. For this, thorough knowledge in both the source language and the target language is required. Narrowing down to the topic, the word in question is the Telugu word Evandi. This word has a lot of hidden meaning associated with it and its translated version needs to be on par with it. The article is a discussion of the possible translations and an explanation of why they cannot be considered as equivalences. An explanation to......

Title : Perceptions of Secondary School Teachers of Mizoram on In-service Training Programmes under RMSA
Authors : Zairemmawia Renthlei || Prof. Lokanath Mishra
Abstract: Development in any field including the professional development of teachers must always be accompanied by equity to ensure the balanced growth of education in the state. This study attempts to compare the perceptions of different groups of teacherswho attend the in-service training programmes for secondary school teachers in Mizoram under Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) on three aspects – utility of training programmes, capabilities of resource persons and problems encountered. The teachers were classified along their geographical locations (districts), gender, teaching experience and subject taught. Training Centres in all eight districts of Mizoram were visited and data was an opinionnaire prepared by the researcher. Differences in perceptions were discovered in various areas and recommendations to minimise such variations were attempted.

Title : The effect of Climate change in the rural livelihood in Nepal (Case of Badarjhula of Chitwan district, Bagmati Province, Nepal)
Country : Nepal
Authors : Deepak Chaudhary || Sajana Maharjan || Anusha Vaddiraj Pallapu
Abstract: The two-third populations of Nepal reside in rural areas. Most of them depend on rain-fed agriculture for their livelihoods. Nepal is severely suffering from the effects of climate change, and hence, the effect of climate change in rural Nepal is more concerned. This paper aims to explore the adverse effects of climate change in terms of natural disaster, loss of agriculture land, loss of people and domestic animal's lives, and livelihood in relation to the Badarjhula village and discusses some measures for minimizing climate change's effect adopting both qualitative and quantitative approaches, though qualitative is dominant. The empirical study of Badarjhula village reveals that the huge amounts of agricultural lands have been destroyed by unexpected-flooding and drought due to climate changes for decades. According to the National Adaptation Plan of Action (NAPA) of Nepal Government, this....

Title : Formation and Reorganization of States in India and Ethiopia Federations
Authors : V. Vijay Lakshmi || Nigussie Afesha
Abstract: Ethiopia and India federations allow new state formation and territorial reorganization of states, albeit they follow a different path for establishment, breakup, and merger of the existing states. In Ethiopia, there exist apparent demands for new state creation, and several ethnic groups openly pressed their claims. However, senior politicians and concerned officials have opposed and often slacken down new state formation and territorial reorganization of state claims. Conversely, in India, new state formation and reorganization of states are among the many strategies used to build modern nation-statesand contain ethnic conflicts. Second, in India, new state formation and reorganization of territorial space of states is a continuing process that can be made occasionally. Third, the creation and reorganization of subnational-unit should not compromise the territorial integrity of the India federation.These are some of the lessons that Ethiopia federations can draw regarding the formation and reorganization of states.....

Title : Trade remedy laws in Ethiopia: A critical Review
Authors : HabtamuLanjore Bokoro || Prof. D.SuryaPrakasa Rao
Abstract: Though the concept of Trade remedy laws flourished in comprehensive manner in 20th century, its origin went backs to the 18th century. It was in GATT 1947(after the demise of formation of international trade organization); the 1st multilateral trade remedy law was effectively made to regulate international trade. And these also latter strengthened by the breakthrough move to successfully establish WTO in 1995. Today, about 164 independent nations are member to WTO (both poor and advanced economies). The main objects of the Trade remedy laws are to protect domestic industries from unfairly traded imports and sometimes, it will be imposed even if the trade is fair like in cases of import surge. Ethiopia is not a member to WTO though it has passed more than two decades having an observer status. Since, Ethiopia is not a member to WTO, trade remedy regimes of WTO is not applicable under Ethiopian scenario. That means, it is presumed that the country has to use other domestic.....

Abstract: Freedom of information and the right to public participation are Siamese twins.Without freedomof information, optimal participation in policy and legislative processes in particular and governance in general is greatly compromised. This linkage is even more important when we consider children who, not only require information,but expectsuch information to be packaged and disseminated in a form they can easily process and understand. The international and regional policy sphere is replete with conventions, treaties, protocols and guidelines on mechanisms States ought to deployto facilitate optimal freedom of information and child participation in all matters concerning children. At the national level, the Constitution of Kenya, policies and legislationspromote these rights.

Autonomous CUV for Offroad Enthusiasts Latest Design Challenge
Drew Winter | Jan 28, 2015
We've seen an awful lot of interiors for self-driving cars lately, so WardsAuto decided to up the ante in its latest design competition. We are challenging students to create an interior for a 2030 vehicle that drives itself on daily commutes but still can satisfy off-road driving enthusiasts on the weekend.
An autonomous car for driving enthusiasts may sound like an oxymoron, but we're betting there will be a lot of consumers in 2030 who still like to drive, at least on weekends.
We've got some wiggle room. After all, we're looking 15 years down the road, and these are super-talented young people. So we figured, what the heck, let's go for something a little different. We are not asking for a flying car, just one that drives itself and doesn't have four lounge chairs facing each other like so many recent concepts.
The student design competition is sponsored by IAC and Lear. It is WardsAuto's sixth collaboration with Detroit's prestigious College for Creative Studies, which has graduated many of the industry's top designers. Previous competitions have included projects for a fullsize 2025 pickup truck interior and future family cars and CUVs.
The competition is part of the 2015 WardsAuto Interiors Conference, which takes place May 13 at Detroit's Cobo Center. The final student designs will be on display at the conference and at the SAE International World Congress, which takes place April 21-23.
The idea is to envision a vehicle for the year 2030 that integrates its multiple roles in owners' lives, from rolling office to off-roader.
The assignment is to design the interior of a CUV or SUV aimed at active professionals who want a self-driving car for daily commutes but also want to physically drive in the country on weekends.
It must retain the same capabilities of today's Jeeps, Range Rovers and others but also foresee new features consumers will want in 2030.
We want students to picture the lifestyle of a young professional man or woman who works in a major city but likes to spend weekends in the country camping, playing sports or enjoying nature with family and friends.
These potential customers focus on work and socializing during their daily commute, not dealing with traffic. However, on weekends they want to enjoy driving in the country and taking occasional off-road adventures.
In 2030, we believe CUVs and SUVs will be as relevant to American life as they are now, but they must be designed to be very lightweight and space-efficient, acknowledging the strict emissions, safety and fuel-economy rules that will be in place.
Designs are expected to be based on the dimensions and brands of existing models and make use of recognizable brand design cues.
To prepare for the project, WardsAuto kicks things off with a visit to the North American International Auto Show. Students and their instructor, Brian Stoeckel, a designer at General Motors, recently toured the show, stopping to investigate numerous vehicles from Jeeps and Land Rovers to the innovative BMW i3. (See related gallery: Student Designers Visit NAIAS).
The NAIAS visit is important because we want the designs to be anchored within realistic boundaries. Every interior needs to seem credible and be based on technologies and materials that are envisioned to be in production in 2030.
This means integrating the latest mobile devices, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.
Each interior also has to recognize that seats in CUVs and SUVs require more support and bolstering than ordinary cars to hold drivers and passengers in place on rough roads.
Cost and pricing have to be considerations, and designs need to acknowledge safety features and NHTSA requirements. We also want to see clever ideas to make vehicles safer, especially for children.
As in past years, the judges will be top designers from a variety of OEMs.
The competition finalists will be announced at the SAE World Congress, and the winners of the grand award and special awards from IAC and Lear will be announced at the WardsAuto Interiors Conference in May.

Our NHS is too centralised and too distant. It is also plagued by short-term, top-down initiatives. Our social care systems are chronically underfunded.
We believe control over the NHS should be devolved to Yorkshire – just as it is in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and Greater Manchester.
We are proud of the principles upon which the NHS was founded – that people receive healthcare based on need, not on the ability to pay.
We believe these principles can be delivered only with increased funding to an NHS, led by the public sector.
We believe in a properly funded, integrated Health and Social Care system, led by the public sector and supported, as appropriate, by properly qualified alternative providers, with local community engagement at its heart.


Can an Angel appear as a person?
Can an Angel appear as a person? I think I met an Angel when I went to the Graveside of a recently past auntie. I missed the funeral, and she began to tell me how she died and how my uncle was coping and some of my auntie's last words. She said she was a friend of my cousin. She timed her visit to the grave at the exact time as me. I can still feel the warm smile she gave out.
Angels can appear as humans at any time and anywhere. Angels also appear as light and can also be felt surrounding you with their wings. Angels are Love beings, directed by the Divine to bring us Love and messages.
They are there to comfort us and guide us. They will help you in any situation that you are in and you only have to ask.
There are many realms of Angels and they all do different things based on what God has commanded them to be doing. There are many stories out there that can be found in regards to people meeting Angels. Here is one site http://www.angelfocus.com/encounters.htm but know there are many.
I hear from my peeps that the cousin is an Earth Angel and her being there was to give you comfort and to reassure you that all is good. I hope this helps.
this happened to me about 8 years ago. me and my mother and my niece went to visit my Grandmother in Mississippi on her farm. and this is the honest truth that happened to me. i wake-up on my left side of my bed their was a man just a shadow. and the corner of the room their was a door with bright white light, with railroad cross tires around the door. i walked in and i see 3 men and 3 women and one boy look like Native Indian boy about 13-15 years old all in white like greek style clothing just smiling at me. nothing was said, well i wake-up thinking this was just dream, i sat-up in bed, and the door was still their till the sun came up. i have tried to ask people about my experience and they just love the energy i have. i know i visited my Grandmother 3 more times in the same room and nothing happened. i would love to have this meeting again and try to ask questions. maybe something will change in my life for the better. because i am doing nothing now with my life.
I do believe I have encountered angels in human form a couple of different times in my life. So truly believe Margaret's encounter!!!
I agree with Margaret that angels to exist. Some of us living on this planet are eart angels. Have you ever met that special person who you know is different than everyone else? Their energy, uplifting spirit, unconditional love… they are angels. Yes, my friends angels are amongst us!


Paul and I had health issues due to our stress in our jobs, our lives and just living this crazy life. The demands on us were extreme but we decided to nip it in … well you know what I mean, right? I can go on how I had surgery and this happened but we all know awful stuff happens to good people. One day, my husband went to the doctor and had a shocker. He had to change his life style. Being in our mid 40's it was hard to change. This is where we come in. We can help you help yourself if you want by using our navigation skills of using the right tools in the tool box. We have the experience, but each person is different. So let's figure out how to help you become proactive to life instead of reactive. Are you ready?

What is a Salt and How Does It Make Password Hashing More Secure?
LinkedIn's massive data breach of 2012 continues to be a source of agony for the organization and its users. According to LinkedIn's official blog, in 2012 the company was the victim of an unauthorized access that resulted in the disclosure of members' passwords. Although, at that time, LinkedIn's immediate response included a mandatory password reset for all accounts which they believed were compromised, in May 2016 LinkedIn was again notified that during the same 2012 theft, email and hashed password combinations of more than 100 million LinkedIn members were compromised. LinkedIn subsequently proceeded to invalidate passwords for all accounts created prior to 2012.
LinkedIn stored passwords with an hashing algorithm but with no salt or other advanced security measures in place. Security experts do not consider this approach to be secure. These old algorithms use plain hashes which can be easily cracked within minutes using a multitude of tools available on the internet.
How does password hashing work?
When a user creates an account on a website for the very first time, the user's password is hashed and stored in an internal file system in an encrypted form. When the user logs in to the website subsequently, the password hash entered by the user is matched against the password hash stored in the internal system. If the hash matches, the user is granted access. If the hash verification fails, the user is prevented from logging into the website.
Note that in the above example, the hash values for the two users with the password "letmein" are identical.
All the above mentioned mechanisms to crack a hash are possible because each time a plaintext string is hashed, it generates the exact same hashed value. For example, if an attacker hashes the value "letmein" it will generate the same value as the one stored in the backend system for another user with the password "letmein". Attackers use pre-computed tables generated by powerful computers that enter all possible values into a hashing algorithm. These tables can also be purchased. Using these tables, an attacker can cross reference a stolen hashed value (such as a password) and perform a reverse lookup to determine the original value.
Now, for each user with the password "letmein" there is a different hashed value.
Ensure that the salt is unique for every user and for every password. Using ten different salts increases the security of hashed passwords by increasing the computational power required to generate lookup tables by a factor of ten. If the salt is stored separately from a password, it also makes it challenging for an attacker to reverse engineer a password. However, for the highest level of protection, use a unique salt generated for the same user each time she changes her password.
Every salt should ideally have a long salt value of at least the same length as the output of the hash. If the output of the hash function used is 256 bits or 32 bytes, the length of the salt value should at least be 32 bytes. Along with long passwords with specialized characters, this approach should provide required security to user passwords.
Do not use usernames as salt values. Since usernames are often predictable and reused by the user for various services, using usernames as the salt values is not as secure as using an unrelated value for the salt. Additionally, commonly used usernames like "admin" and "root" can easily be looked up and used to crack these hashes.
Use a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator to salt values used to hash passwords. These algorithms, as the name suggests, are cryptographically secure and generate random, unpredictable salt values.
Lastly, ensure that that there is a secret key added to the hash so that it is only if the secret key is known, can the password be validated. Also ensure that the key is stored in an external system, a physically separate server so that for a hacker to successfully hack the password he not only needs access to the internal file systems but also to the external key server.

Kwara PDP Denies endorsing Sheriff
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara state today dissociated itself from the purported endorsement of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as the national chairman of the party by the forum of states chairmen of the party.
The party made the clarification in a statement signed by its chairman. Prince Sunday Fagbemi, a copy of which was made available to ROYAL NEWS in Ilorin.
Fagbemi said the decision to distance the state's chapter of PDP from the purported endorsement of Sheriff was reached at a meeting of the state executive council of the party held on Wednesday at its secretariat in Ilorin, the state capital.
He said the party's executives in the state at the meeting also reiterated their support and that of the supporters of the party in the state for the Senator Ahmed Makarfi -led national caretaker committee of the PDP.
The statement reads in part: "Kwara state PDP wishes to make it categorically clear that we were not a party to the declaration of the so-called states PDP chairmen forum whose members are known as one form chairman . They are illegitimate.
"For the umpteenth time, the Kwara PDP, its leaders and supporters are saying that we are solidly behind the senator Ahmed Makarfi -led national caretaker committee of our great party.
"We have absolute confidence in the ability of the members of the committee to provide a purposeful leadership for our party as well pilot its affairs in such way that the party will be returned to power at the federal level in 2019.
"Senator Makarfi and his acolytes loyal and dedicated party men who are desirous of returning PDP to its wining streak."

I picked up their 90 amp 110 v flux wire welder today for $97.99 - they had a similar welder which I think was MIG capable for $109. I chose the one I did because the low setting was lower - 60 vs 80 amps, IIRC. The book suggests low power with wire speed of 1 for 16 gauge steel.
I spent another 20 bucks or so for the 2 year warranty.
Where did you see the mig capable one for $109? I was there today and they had the 90 Amp 110v for $109, and the same one but the new version for 149. They had a Mig capable for $219. I would like to have the Mig capable for 109 if I could find one for that.
It SAID MIG on the front, but I didn't see any difference between it and the one I bought except the amperage of the lower setting.
Technically, MIG just means Metal Inert Gas, so both welders could be MIG welders.
I asked the guy what the difference was between the 109 & 149., and he said the more expensive one was the newer model and the other one was the old model. I see a guy has Campbell Hausfields that are 110v and Mig or Flux core on Ebay for $134.00 plus shipping from Buffalo.
Menards started carrying that brand now instead of the Clarkes they sold before. They cost more than the HF ones. I went to the Campbell Hausfield website and read some reviews. Some complained that the wire didn't feed well in the wire fed welders. I think the cheaper one carried locally was $199 and the next one up was $299, but I could be wrong.
up, and a regulator. Which can always be added on later when there's money floating around. But is it worth that option?
Using MIG would add a lot to the costs. The tanks are costly, plus the cost of the regulator and hose. The welder you have would have to be set up to use it.
I am pretty much a beginner, but I think the wire feeder welders using flux core wire work just fine, and better than MIG outdoors where there is a breeze.
I have tried running a bead with it and did okay. I tried actually welding stuff together and didn't have much luck. I have used it a total of 5 or 10 minutes, so don't put too much stock in my experience with it.
The wire for the wire fed welder is a lot thinner than the rods for a stick welder.
I'm talking with a guy that has a Lincoln welder (flux core), about 5 years old and wants 150.
I recently bought one from Home Depot for $270 (plus 8 5/8% tax) It's way better than the HF. Check it out. Not just the welds, but the speed adjustment etc. If it works well, go for it.
Maybe he'll come down a few bucks.
I just picked up my Lincoln Weld Pak HD today. The guy wouldn't budge from $150. I was told by a Lincoln dealer and two pawn shops that it was still a good buy. Haven't tried it yet. Will do that today as soon as I clean a spot close enough to the 20A outlet in garage. Talking to the one guy at one of the pawn shops, found out he was a Millwright retired, as I am a Pipefitter retired also, and he had given at one time basic welding classes. He also said, if there is not that many welds to do, cut them, mark where they go and he would weld them for me, so if I can't end up getting the swing of the welding, maybe there's a way to get it done. But I want to be able to do it myself. Darwin, how's it going with your welding? Do any of the guys on here ever exchange plans between each other?
I did some welding the other day. I am getting the hang of the wire fed welder. You just put the wire where you want to start welding and pull the trigger. That extends the wire to strike an arc.
I find myself falling back to the Oxy-acetylene though.
A friend has a GOOD welder, so I am grinding all of my welds down and will eventually go to his house to go over all of them.
My problem is that the beads are so narrow with these small welders. I have tried weaving with mixed results.
I think all of my welds have been strong enough, but they were UGLY.
Several of the people that I talked to yesterday said do not "braze" the tubing, that it would distort the metal easier, but if that is what you are comfortable with AND can do it, go for it. I was also wondering, in the section here on this site titled "Basic Welding" they talk totally about using a stick welder. There is a pretty nice used 70Amp one at that one pawn shop, if I knew it would work better, I would go get it. But I gotta try this one first. Talking about 220, you can't run another circuit to your garage?
My garage is detached, and has been detached for about 100 years, so instead of trying to run 10 AWG wire out there for my 220V Hobart, I installed a 220v twistlok plug in a weatherproof outlet on the outside of the house near the garage. Wired the outlet to the house main fusebox with 10AWG.
Then made a 40' extension cord with the appropriate plugs on either end. One for the twistlok and the other for the welder. Bought 10-2 flexible wire off the bulk spool and all the plugs etc at home despot.
The wire cost the most.
Talking about 220, you can't run another circuit to your garage?
Well, I COULD, but it would be hard. It's about 50 or 60 feet from my house. I'd have to either bury the wire or run it overhead. Burying it would probably be less difficult. I have a 220 fusebox in my basement from a kiln I used to have.
The tricky part would be digging a trench without hitting the power line going out there already or an old, disconnected gas pipe.
The extension cord idea might work. Put waterproof receptacles on the house and garage, make a cord with male fittings on both ends and run wire through the garage wall to put an outlet inside.

The discussion Bret Stephens had with his 10 year old son, is one every parent should be having with the very generation who has the most to lose if socialism really is implemented in America. As parents, we're asked countless times by our children to explain ghosts, scary shadows on the walls, or some other imagined childhood fear. How many times however, do our children ask us to explain something that every American should truly fear? How many times do we have the opportunity to explain the reality of Socialism to our children? We Applaud Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal for the brilliant way he explained Socialism to his son. We thank him for sharing it with his readers.
Noah, my 10-year-old son, was reading over my shoulder a powerful story about the state of medicine in Venezuela by Nick Casey in Sunday's New York Times. We scrolled through images of filthy operating rooms, broken incubators and desperate patients lying in pools of blood, dying for lack of such basics as antibiotics.
I told him it's an economic system in which the government seizes and runs industries, sets prices for goods, and otherwise dictates what you can and cannot do with your money, and therefore your life. He received my answer with the abstracted interest you'd expect if I had been describing atmospheric conditions on Uranus.
Here's what I wish I had said: Socialism is a mental poison that leads to human misery of the sort you see in these wrenching pictures.
The parliamentarian was Jeremy Corbyn, now leader of the Labour Party.
There are lesser names to add to this roll call of dishonor— Michael Moore, Sean Penn—but you get the point: "Democratic socialism" had no shortage of prominent Western cheerleaders as it set Venezuela on its road to hyperinflation, hyper-criminality, water shortages, beer shortages, electricity blackouts, political repression and national collapse. Chávez and his successor, Nicolás Maduro, gained prestige and legitimacy from these paladins of the left. They are complicit in Venezuela's agony.
And so to the U.S. election, specifically the resolutely undead presidential candidacy of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
The Sanders campaign is no stranger to accusations that its brand of leftism is cut from the same cloth that produced Chavismo.
The senator protests too much. As mayor of Burlington, Vt., in the 1980s, he boasted of conducting his own foreign policy, including sister-city relations with Puerto Cabezas in Nicaragua and Yaroslavl in the Soviet Union. On a 1985 trip to Nicaragua, he lavished praise on Daniel Ortega's communist regime—Chavismo's older cousin.
If Mr. Sanders ever rethought or recanted those views, I'm not aware of it.
But the point isn't what Mr. Sanders may have thought of the Sandinistas in the 1980s or the Chavistas in the past decade. It's that the type of socialism that the senator espouses—$18 trillion in additional government spending over the next decade, accusations that Wall Street is a criminal enterprise and the continuous demonization of "millionaires and billionaires"—is not all that different from its South American cousins.
Democratic socialism—whether Chavez's or Sanders's—is legalized theft in the name of the people against the vilified few. It is a battle against income inequality by means of collective immiseration. It is the subjugation of private enterprise and personal autonomy to government power. Mr. Sanders promises to pursue his aims on the Scandinavian model, as if that was a success, and as if Americans are Scandinavians. It wasn't. We aren't. Bernie's Way paves the same road to serfdom that socialism does everywhere.
That's a fact Americans might have learned after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. We didn't. Take the time to tell your kids what socialism is, and does, before they too feel the Bern.

Is It Safe to Take Infumorph While Pregnant?
Infumorph is a prescription pain medication. The generic ingredient in this injectable medication is called morphine sulfate. Infumorph is intended to be taken for the treatment of severe, chronic pain. Since Infumorph is an opioid narcotic, it works to change the way the body senses pain signals. It is also effective by changing how the body experiences pain, thereby altering the overall emotional response to pain. Infumorph is only intended to be provided to patients in a clinical or hospital environment. It's administered as an injection, such as in an epidural, by a professional healthcare provider. Side effects of Infumorph are similar to symptoms of other opioids. Common symptoms may include nausea, itchiness, drowsiness, and constipation. Infumorph can cause significant respiratory depression due to its effects on the central nervous system.
Infumorph can interact with many other medications. These medicines can include antidepressants and other central nervous system depressants. If someone takes Infumorph with another CNS depressant, the risk of fatal respiratory depression is significant. Infumorph and other opioids have a high likelihood of addiction and dependence, as well. Even though Infumorph and other opioid pain medications are schedule II controlled substances in the U.S., they still find their way to the streets after being diverted from medical use. The effects of the opioid epidemic and the staggering rates of opioid use in the U.S. are far-reaching.
What about taking Infumorph while pregnant? There are a few different scenarios where a woman might decide to take Infumorph while pregnant. The first could be recreationally. Unfortunately, because of the highly addictive nature of opioid narcotics, some women take them recreationally during pregnancy. If a woman were in the hospital for some reason, a doctor might administer Infumorph as well, although that would be rare. Sometimes opioids might be administered during labor and delivery, although that is also fairly rare. If a woman is recreationally taking Infumorph, this represents the most significant danger for her unborn baby. If by some chance Infumorph was administered for pain during labor and delivery, it could cause some respiratory depression in the baby, but it wouldn't cause birth defects.
Infumorph and other prescription opioids are classified as category C drugs during pregnancy. Category C drugs aren't considered fully safe or unsafe during pregnancy. There is a potential for harm to a fetus if a category C drug is taken during pregnancy. This is especially true if it's during the first trimester when major organ development is occurring. First, if opioids are taken close to delivery, a baby may be born with respiratory issues. There are other complications associated with prolonged and ongoing opioid use during pregnancy. For example, there is a risk of preterm labor and birth, fetal growth restriction and preeclampsia. There's also the risk of miscarriage. Certain birth defects are more likely if a baby is exposed to opioids in the womb. These include neural tube defects like spina bifida and certain congenital heart defects.
However, even though there are possible risks of taking Infumorph during pregnancy, it shouldn't be suddenly stopped, either. If a woman is dependent on opioids and becomes pregnant, she should speak with her doctor about what to do. Stopping opioids abruptly can trigger withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal during pregnancy can lead to serious complications like placental abruption and heavy bleeding. It can also increase the chance of a miscarriage. A doctor may advise that a pregnant woman slowly taper down her dosage of an opioid like Infumorph, rather than suddenly stopping treatment.
More than likely a doctor wouldn't recommend Infumorph to treat a pregnant woman. However, that is up to your healthcare provider since it's category C. If you're dependent on opioids and you recreationally take Infumorph, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider. There are options available to stop taking Infumorph while pregnant, such as a medically-supervised detox program. During a medically-supervised detox, it's possible to help pregnant women safely stop taking opioids. A woman dependent on opioids might also consider addiction treatment.
To learn more about opioid addiction treatment and medically-supervised detox programs, contact The Recovery Village. Recovery isn't always easy, but the team at The Recovery Village will be with you every step of the way.


"Faced with the challenge of estimating the elasticity of labor demand in a supply and demand market, the method of Friedman and Schwartz (1963) would be to look for two periods that are adjacent in time, with conditions that were very similar, except for a change that shifts the labor supply curve in one period relative to the other. To find this pair, they would look carefully at historical evidence that they would add to the information in the scatter plot.
If the historical circumstances offer up just one such pair, they would ignore all the other data points and base an estimate on just that pair. If Lucas and Sargent (1979) are correct that the identification problem is the most important problem in empirical macroeconomics, it makes sense to throw away data. It is better to have a meaningful estimate with a larger standard error than a meaningless estimate with a small standard error."
Romer has long recognized the importance of economic history for understanding growth patterns. Here is one of his other well known papers.
To Get This Look: Do a bad job of describing Princess Leia's hairstyle to your hairdresser. Watch forlornly but uncomplainingly as he completely fails to achieve it. Make the face of a sad cat that has just been turned into a human being and doesn't know what to make of the change. Take no care of your body.

Christian charity says its managers knew for years one of their missionaries abused kids
Christian Aid Ministries said it was investigating how much the organization knew about allegations its aid worker Jeriah Mast sexually abused minors.

A Christian nonprofit has stated that two managers knew for years that an employee had confessed to a history of sexual offenses against minors but still allowed him to serve their organization as a missionary to Haiti.Jeriah Mast, 38, from Millersburg, Ohio was indicted in a Holmes County court on July 3 with seven felony charges of gross sexual imposition and seven misdemeanor charges of sexual imposition.Those crimes, which according to court documents allegedly involved children under the ages of 16 and some under 13, took place in Ohio between 1998 and 2008, Holmes County Prosecutor Sean Warner said. Mast pleaded not guilty to all charges, his lawyer John Johnson Jr. told NBC News.Mast also faces allegations of sexually abusing minors during his time serving Christian Aid Ministries in Haiti, according to the Berlin, Ohio-based nonprofit."It is already well known that our former employee, Jeriah Mast, has confessed to molesting boys while working for our organization in Haiti," Christian Aid Ministries' board of directors wrote in an open letter on June 17.Christian Aid Ministries said in the same letter that two managers at the organization had known about Mast's behavior since 2013, when he had admitted to Christian Aid Ministries staff to "sexual activity" with boys under the age of 18 "that had taken place several years prior in Haiti," Robert Flores, an attorney representing Christian Aid Ministries, told NBC News.The managers did not return repeated calls and messages seeking comment.By 2013, Mast had already been working for the organization in Haiti for six years. He had several roles there, including post-hurricane aid, distributing medicine to clinics and a school aid program."The minor victims in Haiti that we are aware of were taking part in local schools or programs to which CAM was providing assistance or support, such as food or materials," Flores said.Christian Aid Ministries' board of directors emphasized that it had no knowledge of Mast's alleged crimes in Ohio or Haiti, however, until he unexpectedly returned to the U.S. in May 2019.According to accounts from both Christian Aid Ministries and Mast's church in Millersburg, Shining Light Christian Fellowship, Mast confessed to his church immediately upon returning to the U.S. that he had sexually abused boys."Jeriah spent hours on his face weeping and wailing over his sins and feeling such remorse over the hurt he caused so many people," the Ministry Team wrote in a statement on the front page of the church's website.Mast then voluntarily turned himself in to Holmes County Sheriff's Office, where he "made admissions to alleged crimes in Holmes County, Ohio and Haiti," Chief Deputy Richard L. Haun Jr. told NBC News. "Those admissions included at least some identification of potential victims," he added.Haun also said that the FBI was investigating Mast's alleged crimes in Haiti. An FBI spokesperson told NBC that he "could neither confirm nor deny the existence of criminal investigations" into Mast.Christian Aid Ministries said that the managers had both been placed on administrative leave pending a full investigation into what was known about Mast's alleged actions. "Both men recognize that their failure to properly investigate and inquire into Jeriah's conduct was a serious failure in judgment and should have severe consequences," the letter from the organization read.A new ministry team has been working for Christian Aid Ministries in Haiti since the allegations, and is being overseen by different staff at its Ohio headquarters, Flores added. The organization said it was planning to provide updated training to its employees on "how to take more effective action should they become aware of inappropriate behavior or abuse," according to a September 20 update from the board of directors.Ludwig Leblanc, an attorney based in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, told NBC News that he had previously represented five young men from Titanyen, a village 12 miles north of the capital, whom police had interviewed as part of an "open inquiry for investigation" into Mast's alleged crimes in Haiti.Leblanc's former clients were minors at the time of the alleged abuse, and are now aged between 23 and 27, he said. He also confirmed Christian Aid Ministries' account that they had met Mast through the non-profit's aid programs, although Leblanc said the alleged abuse had not taken place on its property in Haiti.Leblanc said that the young men had chosen to each take a $10,000 payment from Christian Aid Ministries, and that no civil action was taken against Mast in Haiti as a result."You need to understand the economic situation of our country. These kids don't go to school and need money," Leblanc wrote in an email. "We were in the process of building a strong case with psychologists and doctors but they decided to take the money. After that, I decided not to continue to represent them.""What some have been calling 'settlements' are best described as aid to victims of Mr. Mast that have been recorded by a Notary Public in Haiti," Flores said. "There is no provision that bars disclosure and there was no effort made to silence any victim with whom a civil agreement was reached," he added.Amounts paid went as high as $20,000 "depending on the specific needs of the victim and may have included housing and other requested assistance," he added.Haitian authorities did not respond to multiple inquiries about whether charges had formally been brought against Mast in Haiti. But Flores said he was "not aware of any open criminal cases against Mr. Mast that have been filed by a Haitian Prosecutor.""Although CAM no longer has any control over Mr. Mast, the Board believes it would be the right thing for him to appear in Haitian court to answer for his confessed crimes," Flores told NBC.Christian Aid Ministries describes itself as a nonprofit that "strives to be a trustworthy and efficient channel for Amish, Mennonite, and other conservative Anabaptist groups."Responding to a growing awareness of sexual abuse in Amish and Mennonite communities and an increase in allegations, in 2015 the U.S. Mennonite Church issued a statement regretting its former inertia on the matter."We confess that we have often responded with denial, fear and self-preservation. We have tended to listen to voices who have positional power, rather than to those who have been violated and those who are most vulnerable," the Church wrote."In this way, we have enabled sexual abuse to continue while silencing and disregarding the testimony of victims.

A Christian nonprofit has stated that two managers knew for years that an employee had confessed to a history of sexual offenses against minors but still allowed him to serve their organization as a missionary to Haiti.
Jeriah Mast, 38, from Millersburg, Ohio was indicted in a Holmes County court on July 3 with seven felony charges of gross sexual imposition and seven misdemeanor charges of sexual imposition.
Those crimes, which according to court documents allegedly involved children under the ages of 16 and some under 13, took place in Ohio between 1998 and 2008, Holmes County Prosecutor Sean Warner said. Mast pleaded not guilty to all charges, his lawyer John Johnson Jr. told NBC News.
Mast also faces allegations of sexually abusing minors during his time serving Christian Aid Ministries in Haiti, according to the Berlin, Ohio-based nonprofit.
"It is already well known that our former employee, Jeriah Mast, has confessed to molesting boys while working for our organization in Haiti," Christian Aid Ministries' board of directors wrote in an open letter on June 17.
Christian Aid Ministries said in the same letter that two managers at the organization had known about Mast's behavior since 2013, when he had admitted to Christian Aid Ministries staff to "sexual activity" with boys under the age of 18 "that had taken place several years prior in Haiti," Robert Flores, an attorney representing Christian Aid Ministries, told NBC News.
The managers did not return repeated calls and messages seeking comment.
By 2013, Mast had already been working for the organization in Haiti for six years. He had several roles there, including post-hurricane aid, distributing medicine to clinics and a school aid program.
"The minor victims in Haiti that we are aware of were taking part in local schools or programs to which CAM was providing assistance or support, such as food or materials," Flores said.
Christian Aid Ministries' board of directors emphasized that it had no knowledge of Mast's alleged crimes in Ohio or Haiti, however, until he unexpectedly returned to the U.S. in May 2019.
According to accounts from both Christian Aid Ministries and Mast's church in Millersburg, Shining Light Christian Fellowship, Mast confessed to his church immediately upon returning to the U.S. that he had sexually abused boys.
"Jeriah spent hours on his face weeping and wailing over his sins and feeling such remorse over the hurt he caused so many people," the Ministry Team wrote in a statement on the front page of the church's website.
Mast then voluntarily turned himself in to Holmes County Sheriff's Office, where he "made admissions to alleged crimes in Holmes County, Ohio and Haiti," Chief Deputy Richard L. Haun Jr. told NBC News. "Those admissions included at least some identification of potential victims," he added.
Haun also said that the FBI was investigating Mast's alleged crimes in Haiti. An FBI spokesperson told NBC that he "could neither confirm nor deny the existence of criminal investigations" into Mast.
Christian Aid Ministries said that the managers had both been placed on administrative leave pending a full investigation into what was known about Mast's alleged actions. "Both men recognize that their failure to properly investigate and inquire into Jeriah's conduct was a serious failure in judgment and should have severe consequences," the letter from the organization read.
A new ministry team has been working for Christian Aid Ministries in Haiti since the allegations, and is being overseen by different staff at its Ohio headquarters, Flores added. The organization said it was planning to provide updated training to its employees on "how to take more effective action should they become aware of inappropriate behavior or abuse," according to a September 20 update from the board of directors.
Ludwig Leblanc, an attorney based in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, told NBC News that he had previously represented five young men from Titanyen, a village 12 miles north of the capital, whom police had interviewed as part of an "open inquiry for investigation" into Mast's alleged crimes in Haiti.
Leblanc's former clients were minors at the time of the alleged abuse, and are now aged between 23 and 27, he said. He also confirmed Christian Aid Ministries' account that they had met Mast through the non-profit's aid programs, although Leblanc said the alleged abuse had not taken place on its property in Haiti.
Leblanc said that the young men had chosen to each take a $10,000 payment from Christian Aid Ministries, and that no civil action was taken against Mast in Haiti as a result.
"You need to understand the economic situation of our country. These kids don't go to school and need money," Leblanc wrote in an email. "We were in the process of building a strong case with psychologists and doctors but they decided to take the money. After that, I decided not to continue to represent them."
"What some have been calling 'settlements' are best described as aid to victims of Mr. Mast that have been recorded by a Notary Public in Haiti," Flores said. "There is no provision that bars disclosure and there was no effort made to silence any victim with whom a civil agreement was reached," he added.
Amounts paid went as high as $20,000 "depending on the specific needs of the victim and may have included housing and other requested assistance," he added.
Haitian authorities did not respond to multiple inquiries about whether charges had formally been brought against Mast in Haiti. But Flores said he was "not aware of any open criminal cases against Mr. Mast that have been filed by a Haitian Prosecutor."
"Although CAM no longer has any control over Mr. Mast, the Board believes it would be the right thing for him to appear in Haitian court to answer for his confessed crimes," Flores told NBC.
Christian Aid Ministries describes itself as a nonprofit that "strives to be a trustworthy and efficient channel for Amish, Mennonite, and other conservative Anabaptist groups."
Responding to a growing awareness of sexual abuse in Amish and Mennonite communities and an increase in allegations, in 2015 the U.S. Mennonite Church issued a statement regretting its former inertia on the matter.
"We confess that we have often responded with denial, fear and self-preservation. We have tended to listen to voices who have positional power, rather than to those who have been violated and those who are most vulnerable," the Church wrote.
"In this way, we have enabled sexual abuse to continue while silencing and disregarding the testimony of victims. We lament that our inaction permits abuse to continue and the ways we obstruct God's healing," it added.
Johnson, Mast's attorney, declined to comment further to NBC News while his client's case was pending in Ohio, adding that he did "not represent [Mast] in any matters involving Haiti."
Mast was presented with a plea offer at a Sept. 30 pretrial hearing in Holmes County, Ohio for his alleged crimes in the U.S. The hearing is expected to continue on October 9, and a jury trial is set to begin on November 5.
