Methadone withdrawal will be needed one way or another, after methadone maintenance or a pain administration program utilizing methadone has started. If your feeling confined by needing to go to a Chevak AK center or a drug store everyday and also experiencing hell if you intend to travel, there is an escape.
Methadone usage produces a numb sensation to living, considerable belly issues as well as physical reliance that beats all others; that's the list. All type of various other health problems that methadone usage generated are exposed once starting methadone withdrawal. I'll offer you some answers to help now, and further remedies to manage the problem to finishing methadone dependence forever.
Dependencies medical professionals and pain administration facilities in Alaska are busily recommending methadone for opiate misuse and persistent pain, however just what are the repercussions of methadone usage? I have actually detailed lots of listed below. If you have actually currently tried Methadone withdrawal and had issues, I've got some aid you wouldn't have actually located in other places.
Once it is time to begin methadone withdrawal, many people are having BIG problems finishing their methadone usage. Exactly how does one withdraw from methadone in Chevak Alaska? What difficulties will they need to get rid of?
The reality is that many dependencies physicians and also discomfort administration specialists in Chevak are acting on the referrals from their peers and advisors. They are not told of the deaths as a result of recommended methadone usage nor the troubles that occasionally occur when taking out from methadone usage.
Vital: extensively research medications or medications yourself before you acquire or take them. The effects could be terrible. They also may have harmful interactive impacts when taken with other medications.
Numerous if not all methadone effects are caused by nutritional deficiencies. Methadone usage creates dietary exhaustion – specifically calcium and magnesium exhaustion. An additional is B vitamin deficiency. This is just how these deficiencies are manifested.
Methadone withdrawal will certainly need a great deal of additional dietary supplementation. That suggests it's time to feed the body. Calcium and magnesium will aid with the cramping etc. But there will be some trouble lots of will have taking their nutrients – a negative intestine.
Methadone and anxiousness meds tend to damage the gut cellular lining. A leaky digestive tract offers pains when eating or allergies, vulnerable to illness and skin issues. Another signs and symptom of a dripping digestive tract is irritability as well as a 'attitude problem'. The perspective can have physical reasons overlooked by the individual.
A good idea to helping the gut problem is consuming lots of good quality yogurt with live probiotics in it, like acidophilus and also bifidus. One could additionally supplement with big quantities of glutathione – an antioxidant to help the detoxification process.
The issue with methadone is that it is harmful to the body. Your body understands it, but you may not. Taking methadone difficulties your organs to purify the body as well as safeguard the essential organs prior to they are badly damaged.
Toxins provide the body a difficult time. If you've seen drug users with dark circles under their eyes, grey skin, negative skin, hair befalling, low power, weird ailments, etc. they're got nutritional deficiencies. Those shortages are tough to recuperate from with food alone. Occasionally that food isn't really being correctly absorbed = negative digestive tract.
Purifying the body is more than merely quiting substance abuse. Substance abuse develops inner body damages you might not right away identify. Nonetheless, the body will attempt to detoxify right after drug use and recover itself utilizing any nutrients offered. If the nutrients aren't offered, the body will certainly obtain (take) them from the bones, nervous system or other important functions.
Some will require medical detox from methadone – the problem is that most Chevak methadone detox centers don't use nutritional supplements as part of their program. They just give more medications, and often not the right ones. The lack of full understanding on Methadone detox creates a brutal scene to withdraw from.
The bright side is that I've found the devices and also the detoxification facilities in AK that could defeat methadone withdrawal smoothly as well as conveniently.
There is a tri-language system in Chevak; English, Cup'ik, and a mixture of the two languages. The people in Chevak speak a dialect of Central Yup'ik, Cup'ik (pr. Chew-pick), and identify themselves as Cup'ik people rather than Yup'ik. This unique identity has allowed them to form a single-site school district, the Kashunamiut School District, rather than joining a neighboring Yup'ik school district. The Cup'ik dialect is distinguished from Yup'ik by the change of "y" sounds into "ch" sounds, represented by the letter "c", and by some words that are completely different from Yup'ik words.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.2 square miles (3.1 km2), of which, 1.1 square miles (2.8 km2) of it is land and 0.04 square miles (0.10 km2) of it (1.71%) is water.

Scott Disick's Ups and Downs Through the Years: Photos
by Maria Gill December 8, 2022 6
Scott Disick has struggled with substance abuse, grief and more issues since stepping into the spotlight, but he has also celebrated personal wins, such as welcoming three children. Us Weekly is taking a look back at his highs and lows through the years.
The reality star became a household name while starring alongside Kourtney Kardashian on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which he has appeared on since its premiere in October 2007. At the time, Disick and the Poosh founder were dating. Son Mason, daughter Penelope and son Reign arrived before the pair split in July 2015.
Disick, however, battled problems that resulted in him entering rehab multiple times. The TV personality checked into a Colorado facility in May 2020 to deal with "past traumas," but he left shortly after due to a privacy issue.
"Scott's breakup and past issues with Kourtney and his parents' deaths have deeply affected him," a source revealed exclusively to Us at the time. "Although it didn't always show up in a negative way, these are things he's constantly had to battle and live with that don't go away overnight."
Prior to his rehab stint, Disick developed a positive coparenting relationship with Kardashian as well as a serious romance with girlfriend Sofia Richie. "The truth is, my problems shouldn't affect the kids," he told Us in June 2019. "Just because their mother and I couldn't make it as a perfect, romantic couple shouldn't have anything to do with the kids. They don't deserve our mistakes, so we figured out a way. We still need to be as honest and as good to each other as if we were together. Let's raise these children together and that's it."
Kardashian, for her part, called her friendship with Disick and Richie "the thing I'm most proud of" in a May 2019 interview with Paper magazine.
According to a source in December 2018, the trio are "so over" their previous problems. "All the drama is water under the bridge and they are all collectively in a much better space," the insider added.

Disick began dating Kardashian in 2006. The two split briefly in 2009 when she suspected cheating on his part, though they reconciled shortly after the breakup.
The Flip It Like Disick star admitted during an August 2010 episode of Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami that he had a drinking problem. "[Kourtney] doesn't really always 100 percent understand that it's a real disease that I have, and it's not just something that I can turn off and on," he said. "But now that I have a little baby, I don't really want to play any of these games. I just want to be with her and see my son grow."
Disick confessed in an August 2011 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians that he lied to Kourtney for months about staying sober. "I believe that I'm in a place that I could have a drink or two responsibly and not get crazy," he told her.
Kourtney revealed exclusively to Us in November 2011 that she was pregnant with her second child with Disick. She gave birth to daughter Penelope in July 2012.
"He's grown so much over the years. … I love seeing him as a dad — he's great with Mason — and I'm not saying that we're perfect," Kourtney gushed in June 2012. "We go to therapy, which helps us a lot. I think we're always working to better ourselves, which I think a lot of people can do."
Us broke the news in June 2014 that Kourtney and Scott were expecting their third child together. Son Reign was born in December 2014.
The Talentless founder checked himself into rehab during a November 2014 episode of Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons. He entered a facility in Connecticut in June 2014 after admitting to a friend that he "thought [he] was going to die" following a round of partying. He confessed at the time that he had substance use issues, including being a heavy drinker. Kourtney, meanwhile, claimed he was "severely depressed."
Scott explained his decision to seek treatment. "I've gone over this in my head so many times to try to live a cleaner life, and for some reason I just keep going back to the same routine," he noted. "I've pretty much become a broken record. And I'm sick of hearing myself talk about the problems I have that I don't fix. And I've always known for a long time I did need to get some help to get to a better place."
Amid rumors of his continued partying, Scott raved about Reign. "It's my third time so it's kind of a charm," he told Us of fatherhood. "I think I kind of know it by now. The first one was scary. The second was less scary. The third one was, 'OK, I got a whole team over here.'"
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was hospitalized in August 2017 after the fire department responded to a call from his home. He was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold.
Us confirmed in September 2017 that Scott was dating Richie. The couple were first linked in May 2017.
Us broke the news in June 2018 that the model ended things with Scott after he was unfaithful. "He cheated on her in Miami and she found out," a source said at the time. Days later, they were back together.

One month after splitting from Richie, Disick moved on with Lisa Rinna's daughter Amelia Gray Hamlin. The Kardashian-Jenner family were "super supportive" of the relationship, a source told Us.

Us confirmed Kourtney and Blink-182's Travis Barker were "officially a couple." An insider told Us, "Scott is aware of them being together and is OK with it since she and Scott haven't been dating for a while. He isn't jealous over their romance because he believes he still has the upper hand being the kids' father."

During the KUWTK reunion, Andy Cohen observed that Disick seems "all upset when Kourtney is linked to other guys," and the Talentless creator replied, "Me? No. I just want to kill them." He went on to shade Kourtney's on-again, off-again boyfriend from 2016 to 2019, Younes Bendjima, saying, "Well, the last guy. Let's all be honest here."
Khloé Kardashian chimed in, "Nobody was happy with the last one."

Bendjima leaked alleged Instagram DMs from Disick bashing Kourtney and Barker's PDA during an Italy getaway. "Yo is this chick ok!?????" Disick allegedly wrote. "Brooo like what is this. In the middle of Italy."
The model replied, "Don't matter to me as long as she's happy. PS: i aint your bro."
After Bendjima leaked Disick's DM, a source exclusively told Us that Disick and Kourtney's relationship was "more strained than ever." The insider added: "What's really got him riled up is the effect Travis and Kourtney's relationship is having on his relationship with Kourtney."
When Kourtney and Barker got engaged in October 2021, the New York native was "furious," a source exclusively told Us at the time. "He knew it was possible, but is very jealous of Kourtney and Travis' relationship," the insider said. "Scott still thinks that they could call things off before the wedding."

One month after Kravis' engagement, an insider told Us that Disick's "friends describe him as a loner. He's disconnected from a lot of friends and only has a few close friends in his inner circle. He's mainly been spending a lot of time with his kids."
The reality star — who frequently shares photos of his and Kourtney's kids on social media — is a devoted father, a source told Us at the time. "All Scott talks about is his kids. … He's always bringing them up in conversation when he's not physically with them," the insider shared. "He's definitely a very good father and cares and loves them so much. … He wants to be a good role model to them."

Disick sparked romance rumors with model Rebecca Donaldson when he brought the model with him to the premiere of The Kardashians.

In the premiere episode of The Kardashians, Disick got real about feeling "left out" of a Kardashian family barbecue due to Kourtney and Barker also being in attendance. "Feeling left out and not being told anything is super hurtful — especially when I don't have another family to go to," the father of three said. "I'd rather be around [Kourtney and Travis] and be around my family than not at all."
In the same episode, Disick noted, "It was a huge adjustment losing Kourtney romantically, but now it's becoming a huge adjustment losing her as kind of a best friend. Now we're really just more of coparenters. I would say it's probably one of the more difficult things in my life."
Kourtney reacted to the DMs between Disick and Bendijma on an episode of The Kardashians, calling the New York native's message "despicable."
Upon hearing the news that ex Richie was engaged to Elliot Grainge, Disick shared an Instagram photo of himself in Miami, joking that he was "Good Luck Chuck" — referencing the 2007 Dane Cook comedy in which the comedian's character's ex-girlfriends all get engaged to their first partners after Chuck.
As Kourtney and Barker tied the knot at a Santa Barbara courthouse on May 15 with just two witnesses — her grandma, MJ, and Barker's dad — Disick shared photos of himself spending time with his and Kourtney's kids.
The Talentless cofounder fanned the flames of romance rumors with model Holly Scarfone, who posted an Instagram snap modeling for the brand. Disick responded to the upload with a NSFW reply. "I can think of a few talents you have right off the top of my head, no pun intended," he wrote.

Though Disick was still pining over Kourtney, "once she became serious with Travis, he stopped trying to win her back," a source exclusively told Us at the time. "His feelings for her haven't gone away — he's always going to love her — he's just having a hard time accepting the fact that she's married."
Credit: John Salangsang/Shutterstock
Us confirmed that Disick and Donaldson split, with a source claiming the two "were never serious to begin with."
After being spotted with a mystery woman on August 16, a source exclusively told Us that "Scott isn't dating anyone seriously at the moment," adding, "He's working on himself. He's enjoying being single."
Disick was involved in a one-car accident on August 21, during which his car rolled over, TMZ reported.
"It was determined the primary cause of the traffic collision was speed and alcohol was not a factor," the LASD said in a press release at the time. "Mr. Disick suffered minor, non-life-threatening injuries and declined medical treatment. He was picked up from the scene by family members and his vehicle was towed away per his request."

Days after he was spotted holding hands with Kimberly Stewart, Us confirmed that Disick and the model have been "dating for a few months." The pair are "really into each other," the insider added.
A source exclusively told Us that Disick had "stepped up his treatment and therapy" following years of public struggles and was "considering" attending an in-patient program for additional help. "The Kardashians are all very supportive of Scott bettering himself," the insider added. "They love him and want him to love himself just as much."

Krishane, or St Aubyn Antonio Levy as he is known on his birth certificate, is the product of reggae royalty. The son of legendary musician Barrington Levy, he's been recording quietly for a few years, but hit the big time in late 2014 with hit single 'Drunk And Incapable' with rising star Melissa Steel. He's recently wrapped an arena tour in the UK supporting Ariana Grande as well as working towards his debut album.
A mixture of classic reggae, the Bob Marleys of this world and the more soulful end of hip-hop, Nas, Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean are all in the mix.
He's already unleashed some great pop songs and it sounds like there are plenty more to come.
Sure. His new single 'Money Can't Buy No Love', which features the one and only Shaggy, is below for you. It'll be released on August 28th.


The downhill start at WakeMed helps get the pace set very fast, and that often leads to fast times despite the challenging course.
The two JV runners were talking fast--possibly faster than they had run earlier in the day. "Did you hear that both of those guys just broke the course record?" The other nodded. Sorry, kids--this is McAlpine Park. The meet record for the Hare & Hounds Invitational went down on Saturday, and the top two runners both notched the top marks for their home states (S.C. and Ga.) so far this season.
Week 5 Ga.MileSplit Runners of the Week were achieved by Austin Sprague of St.Pius X at the Hare n' Hound Invitational and Tayler Tuttle of Providence Christian. Sprague clocked a smooth 15:10 for overall Boys Runnerup and Tuttle won the Individual title at the very competitive Gwinnett County Meet in 18:24.
Sydney Foreman (Ardrey Kell) is formidable on any course, and this is her home course; however, the boys' race could be an out-of-state invasion.

Lawmaker Pitches Criminal Justice Reform, Highlights Urgency
November 30, 2017 by WORT News Department and Nina Kravinsky
Representative Evan Goyke says now's the time for criminal justice reform. If lawmakers don't act fast, he says the first prisoner in Wisconsin's system since 2001 will be forced into a private prison out of state in 2018.
"The prison system is designed to hold about 17.5 thousand inmates, and yet … [it has] about 23.5 thousand," Goyke says. "Cells built for one prisoner house two, some house three."
And Goyke says since Wisconsin prisons are already at max capacity, the state needs to pay county jails to house their inmates. The Department of Corrections says there are only 500 of those beds available, and the state only has 53 beds. Goyke says without meaningful criminal justice reform, the state will need to find a new option for that five hundred and fifth prisoner — inmate 501.
"Number 501 has to go somewhere else," Goyke says. "We'll either build a new facility, which costs lots of money, or we'll send that person out of state — potentially to a private prison — which would also cost lots of money."
But Goyke has a plan. He's circling a three pronged approach for co-sponsorship.
Included in the bills is re-purposing the troubled Lincoln Hills youth prison. That facility is under both federal and state investigation for alleged abuse of inmates and staff. Plus, a decreasing number inmates there mean keeping the facility open is unsustainable.
"The adults are overcrowded," Goyke says. "The juvenile prison facility is overcrowded."
Goyke proposes closing the facility and using the space as a treatment center instead. He says that facility could accommodate inmates eligible through the earned release program — a program he wants to expand
Finally, Goyke wants to make sure fewer people go back to prison once they've been released. Currently, people can return to prison for violating rules of their parole that aren't criminal — like missing meetings or treatment appointments. Goyke wants to limit the period of incarceration for most rule breakers to 30 days.
Goyke — a democrat — is urging bipartisan support of his bills.

Q: Vertically Aligning Japanese characters in IE8 I'm having some problem aligning Japanese characters in IE8 on a website I am making.
I have something like LabelSome value. When both "Label" and "Some value" are either in Japanese or English, they align fine, but when they are mixed ("Label" is always Japanese, but "Some value" might not be) then the alignment is off. Example in the image below:

Surprise, surprise, it all works fine in othe browsers, same image from Chrome for example:

I can't figure out how to fix this. Has anybody come across this before or know a workaround for it? My company is still mostly using IE7, so some trick that would work on that would be most useful.
EDIT 1: I forgot to add the css I am using at the moment. For the label I have:
display: inline-block;
color: Gray;
vertical-align: text-top;

/*For IE7*/
zoom: 1;
*display: inline;

For the values I am using something similar:
display: inline-block;
margin: 0x 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
vertical-align: text-top;

/*For IE7*/
zoom: 1;
*display: inline;

EDIT 2: I'm sure this is related to this problem. I have input boxes in my form, which are perfectly aligned until I type in some Japanese characters. No problem at all for roman characters again. See below:

Again, no problem whatsoever in other browsers...
EDIT 3:
Had a look at this again today (Over a year after I asked this question...). In IE9, the characters display just like in Chrome and other browsers, basically roman and Japanese words all line up properly. I checked it out using IETester and for the same page, the Japanese fonts are aligned "higher" in IE8 than IE9.
In IE8:

In IE9:

I didn't get to check this out at the time because I didn't have IE9. The fonts look identical, so it must be an IE issue and there is nothing that can be done about it I guess?

A: Make sure you are also assigning a vertical-align for the text boxes.
http://jsfiddle.net/HkrJH/
As far as the trouble with spans, I can't repro that.  What font are you using?  Can you post a jsfiddle that demonstrates the issue?

A: internet explorer is horrible.
target your browser and add a stylesheet.
Example in the head:

A: You can place the following HTML tag in the HEAD element of your web page:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

A: I believe this might be a problem with the default fonts used for Japanese vs. English. English characters contain more whitespace than Japanese, because English has to accomodate characters like "c" (square), "t" (taller) and "g" (deeper), while all characters are square boxes in Japanese. So if you use the same pixel size of characters, English ones can still look off from Japanese ones, depending on the font used for either language (likely not the same, or not aligning even if it's the same). If you use vertical-align: middle;  you should get a better result.

Q: Failing to implement pagination in Firebase realtime database Below is the code that I'm using to implement pagination for data retrieved from the firebase realtime database. Basically, I'm trying to get the first n content according to page number, and then getting the last n content from the data retrieved in the first query.
function getUserSnapshotOrVerifyUserId(username, idToken, cb) {
    if (username == null || username.length == 0 || idToken == null || idToken.length == 0)
        return cb({
            status: "error",
            errorMessage: "Missing params."
        }, null);

    admin.auth().verifyIdToken(idToken).then(decodedToken => {
        let uid = decodedToken.uid;

        admin.database().ref().child("users").orderByChild("username").equalTo(username).once('value', snapshot => {
            if (!snapshot.exists())
                return cb({
                    status: "error",
                    message: "invalid-profile"
                });

            snapshot.forEach(child => {
                const id = child.val().id;
                if (id !== uid)
                    return cb({
                        status: "error",
                        message: "Invalid ID"
                    });

                admin.database().ref("users/" + id).once("value", snapshot => {
                    if (!snapshot.exists())
                        return cb({
                            status: "error",
                            errorMessage: "user not found."
                        });

                    return cb(null, id, snapshot);
                });
            });
        });
    }).catch(err => cb({
        status: "error",
        message: err
    }));
}

exports.getUserContentTestPagination = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
    corsHandler(req, res, async () => {
        try {
            const username = req.body.username || req.query.username;
            const idToken = req.body.idToken;

            const limit = 2;
            const page = req.body.page || 1;

            const limitToFirst = page * limit;
            const limitToLast = limit;

            getUserSnapshotOrVerifyUserId(username, idToken, async (err, id) => {
                if(err) return res.json(err);

                const uploadsRef = admin.database().ref('uploads').orderByChild('createdBy').equalTo(id)

                const firstnquery = uploadsRef.limitToFirst(limitToFirst);
                const lastnquery = firstnquery.limitToLast(limitToLast);

                lastnquery.once("value", snapshot => {
                    res.json({
                        snapshot
                    })
                })

            })
        } catch (err) {
            res.json({
                status: "error",
                message: err
            })
        }
    });
});

This is returning a function timeout, however, when I try to get the first n data using firstnquery, it is returning the first n data as expected. So the problem is with lastnquery. Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE 1:
exports.getUserContentTestPagination = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
    corsHandler(req, res, async () => {
        try {
            const username = req.body.username || req.query.username;
            const idToken = req.body.idToken;

            const limit = 2;
            const page = req.body.page || 1;

            let lastKnownKeyValue = null;

            getUserSnapshotOrVerifyUserId(username, idToken, async (err, id) => {
                if(err) return res.json(err);

                const uploadsRef = admin.database().ref('uploads');
                const pageQuery = uploadsRef.orderByChild('createdBy').equalTo(id).limitToFirst(limit);

                pageQuery.once('value', snapshot => {
                    snapshot.forEach(childSnapshot => {
                        lastKnownKeyValue = childSnapshot.key;
                    });

                    if(page === 1){
                        res.json({
                            childSnapshot
                        })
                    } else {
                        const nextQuery = uploadsRef.orderByChild('createdBy').equalTo(id).startAt(lastKnownKeyValue).limitToFirst(limit);

                        nextQuery.once("value", nextSnapshot => {
                            nextSnapshot.forEach(nextChildSnapshot => {
                                res.json({
                                    nextChildSnapshot
                                })
                            })
                        })
                    }

                });

            })
        } catch (err) {
            res.json({
                status: "error",
                message: err
            })
        }
    });
});

A: It is incredibly uncommon to use both limitToFirst and limitToLast in a query. In fact, I'm surprised that this doesn't raise an error:
const firstnquery = uploadsRef.limitToFirst(limitToFirst);
const lastnquery = firstnquery.limitToLast(limitToLast);

Firebase queries are based on cursors. This means that to get the data for the next page, you must know the last item on the previous page. This is different from most databases, which work based on offsets. Firebase doesn't support offset based queries, so you'll need to know the value of createdBy and the key of the last item of the previous page.
With that, you can get the next page of items with:
admin.database().ref('uploads')
     .orderByChild('createdBy')
     .startAt(idOfLastItemOfPreviousPage, keyOfLastItemOfPreviousPage)
     .limitToFist(pageSize + 1)

I highly recommend checking out some other questions on implementing pagination on the realtime database, as there are some good examples and explanations in there too.

I met a 25-year-old woman yesterday who said she has P100,000 in her bank account. I told her to transfer the money now into the stock market—and add P3000 every month.
"Huh?" I looked at her quizzically.
She continued, "I'm not sure I can. There are so many things I want to buy. So what if I just invest my P100,000 now—and not add anything to it anymore?
I computed it in my phone and showed it to her.
Wise girl. I hope you're wise too. Investing one time-big time is what you call the Buy & Hold strategy. It's good but it's not great.
You need the regular monthly investing to make the growth humongous.

Republican super PACs and other outside groups shaped by a loose network of prominent conservatives – including Karl Rove, the Koch brothers and Tom Donohue of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – plan to spend roughly $1 billion on November's elections for the White House and control of Congress, according to officials familiar with the groups' internal operations.
That total includes previously undisclosed plans for newly aggressive spending by the Koch brothers, who are steering funding to build sophisticated, county-by-county operations in key states. POLITICO has learned that Koch-related organizations plan to spend about $400 million ahead of the 2012 elections – twice what they had been expected to commit.
Just the spending linked to the Koch network is more than the $370 million that John McCain raised for his entire presidential campaign four years ago. And the $1 billion total surpasses the $750 million that Barack Obama, one of the most prolific fundraisers ever, collected for his 2008 campaign.

It was February 12th when I received the first email. The subject line was "First Steps Towards a Worthy Cause". The email talked about coming together as a US community in Bolivia to voice our concerns around the racial injustices taking place all over the US.
My first reaction? Why are we doing this now? The killings all happened last year. And when I say that, I am referring to some of the high-profile cases such as Michael Brown and Eric Garner. Aren't we a little too late? My second reaction? What are we going to do from all the way over here in Cochabamba? Aren't we too far removed from it all to make a difference?
Despite my initial resistance, I eventually did join in on the meetings. The first few were hard for me – mostly because we focused on reading the names of each victim and praying for them and their families. Then we prayed for the police officers and other people (like judges and demonstrators) involved in the cases that were unfolding.
Not that I don't enjoy praying (I do!) but when it comes to the subject of injustice, I am much more inclined to voice an opinion and come at things from a place of anger. In the spirit of full disclosure, I will share that being angry doesn't always allow me to see things very clearly or feel an equal amount of love and compassion for everyone involved.
This was clearly a very different type of space for me. Everyone in the group seemed to be coming from a place of peace, compassion, and love. They weren't in such a hurry to place blame or talk about how to fix things. Often we just wrestled with what was happening back home and the sadness, frustration, and disappointment we felt, as a result.
As the meetings evolved, we eventually started talking about our individual perspectives and experiences as it relates to race. Clearly, this is a part of the group meetings that I enjoyed. I got to talk about growing up in NYC in the late '70s when "police brutality" was something everyone talked about. I also talked about what it's like to be a Latina in the US and how often times, in race conversations, things are kept to black and white when clearly there are more people who should be included in the discussion.
Our group still meets weekly to talk about current events in the US. If a hate crime occurs before our Friday meeting, or if we stumble upon a relevant article, we share whatever information we have online. When someone's hometown is involved, we get to hear personal stories of what they are hearing from friends and family back home. There is a sense of community in that these are topics and stories we all care and want to hear about.
Five months after our group first started to meet we are finally talking about WHAT WE CAN DO to help bring awareness to racial injustices, to start dialogues that are well overdue, and even to apply what we know and have experienced to our work overseas.
Writing this blog post, for example, is something I decided to do in order to start a discussion around what my friends, family, and anyone reading this blog, might be thinking as it relates to racial injustices and struggles in the US.
The group, as a whole, is also thinking about getting t-shirts that will outwardly demonstrate our solidarity to the cause. And still other people are trying to figure out how we tie the complexities of racism and discrimination to the experiences of the people here in Bolivia. As it turns out, the same problems do exist here. They just have different faces and ways of being expressed.
Our group is not divisive. Our objective is not to say who's right and who's wrong when something happens back home. We stick to a basic premise: ALL LIVES MATTER. Despite the fact that we now talk about how different events make us feel and what we think we can do to affect what's happening back home, our primary vehicle for change continues to be prayer. And it always comes from a place of love and compassion.
"Black Lives Matter Bolivia" is a group I am proud to be a part of. I think everyone who has been participated can honestly say they have grown from the experience: as a person, as an American, as a missioner. I, for one, feel like I can share my feelings with the group without being judged knowing that many of the group members share the same disappointments and frustrations.
What has not significantly changed is my fear of bringing up race outside of the group. It's such a hot-button topic and you can never tell how people might react or what perspectives shape their thoughts or ideas. I still tread lightly when I discuss race with other people. My hope as I return to the US later this year is that I can continue to dialogue more about it and learn how other people feel we can begin to drive change.
And now, I invite you to explore your feelings on race relations and how you might play a greater role in ensuring that ALL LIVES MATTER. If you would like to join the conversation, feel free to LIKE our Facebook page "Black Lives Matter Bolivia" or follow a local Black Lives Matter group to learn more about what is happening in your community and how you can be a part of it.
Editor's note: In order to affirm and promote the dignity of our global human family, Franciscan Mission Service encourages all who come through our programs to reflect on systemic racism and its interconnectedness to poverty and other injustices. The pre-mission formation program for long-term overseas missioners like Hady, for example, specifically includes discussions on power and privilege, nonviolence, and cross-cultural realities. It is our hope that because of their experiences in our programs, all of our participants become lifelong bridge builders, advocates, and partners for peace and justice.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) quotes Justice Brandeis in her newest book, This Fight Is Our Fight: The Battle to Save America's Middle Class.
Elizabeth Warren is the leading voice for the working class Americans and has no patience or sympathy for Wall Street executives and CEOs of large corporations. She can be counted on to deliver scathing condemnations of those who undermine the middle class in favor of the privileged few. Warren does not come from money. As she frequently recounts in her books and her speeches, she was raised in a working family that struggled mightily to keep hearth and home together.
One characteristic that Warren embodies is her willingness to share her own mistakes, hardships, and bad decisions with the public. It is unusual for any politician to be so open about individual frailties.
Warren is outspoken, personable, emphatic, dedicated, and not easily ignored (just ask Mitch McConnell). As a member of the Senate Banking Committee, Warren is in the catbird seat when it comes to overseeing the antics of the "too big to fail" banks like Citibank, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs.
Warren relates how, in 2014, she was blindsided by a provision inserted into the budget compromise that Citibank lobbyists wrote gutting the "Prohibition Against Federal Government Bailouts of Swaps Entities" in the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act came in response to the banking debacle that tanked the economy and cost millions of jobs, homes, and $22 trillion dollars. The big banks hated the provision because it cut into their profits—the same profits that tanked the economy in 2008 and caused the greatest economic catastrophe since the Great Depression.
Warren is vociferous in her denunciation of well-funded lobbyists, corporate CEOs, and Wall Street financiers deciding government policies on banking, trade agreements, tax reform, and the like. And she spares neither major party. Warren makes it clear that Democrats are just as likely as Republicans to retain the services of lobbyists and Wall Street executives. "Fixing the economy" becomes a code phrase for the rich and powerful to increase their corporate or personal wealth at the expense of average Americans.
Warren states that former President Obama had as many Wall Street people in top positions as any GOP president. The current administration is comprised almost completely by Wall Street financiers, billionaires, and bankers.
In 2013, Warren discovered that Obama's U.S. trade representative had trade advisory teams composed almost entirely of corporate executives and industry lobbyists. Left out were the labor unions, famers, and nonprofits.
Warren is responsible for establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The CFPB succeeded in forcing the big banks to return $12 billion to consumers they swindled. In 2016, after being nailed for creating consumer accounts without telling the account holders, the CFPB hit Wells Fargo Bank with a $185 million fine. Now, under a Republican administration and Congress, the future of the CFPB is in doubt, and U.S. consumers will pay the price because the big banks have no intention or interest in protecting average Americans.
The United States is not the only country controlled by well-financed interests. Another country comes to mind. It is an oligarchy, run by a powerful few intent on preserving their interests over everyone else's: Russia.
This Fight Is Our Fight provides an insider's look at the machinations that are undermining the U.S. economy and political system. Warren spells out what is happening and what needs to be done to reverse the slide. Elizabeth Warren continues to be a forceful advocate for the needs of ordinary, hard-working Americans who are not wealthy and whose government appears to hold them in disfavor.

Hizballah has 42,000 missiles Pointed at Israel !!!
Back in May UNIFIL finally fessed up publicly that Hizballah continues to smuggle weapons south of the Litani River (that's not really news, because Hizballah never stopped doing it). This is followed up with reports from Israel showing that UNIFIL is so embarrassed by its incompetence that it withheld information showing that Hezballah was breaking the cease-fire that ended the Israel/Hezballah war. Today's announcement was even more frightening. Since the end of the Second Israel/Lebanon War, Iran and Syria have been resupplying the Hizballah terrorists to the point where they now have 3x the number of missiles as before the war. Over 42,000 Missiles, some of which can now reach south of Jerusalem. Nothing Like a UN Peacekeeper to make things go from bad to worse. Read the full story below:
Barak: Hizbullah has 42,000 missiles; some can hit Dimona
JPost.com Staff , THE JERUSALEM POST
Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Monday cautioned that Hizbullah had greatly improved its abilities since the Second Lebanon War and was in possession of rockets that could reach as far south as Dimona. The defense minister also warned Beirut that the Shi'ite militia's integration in the Lebanese government could lead to extensive attacks on Lebanese infrastructure in the event of a military conflagration. "Hizbullah has three times the ability it had before the Second Lebanon War and now has 42,000 missiles in its possession, as opposed to the 14,000 it had before the war," Barak said in a Knesset speech, warning that Hizbullah's recent maneuvers south of the Litani River were a liability for Lebanon. "In practice, UN Resolution 1701 isn't working, and Hizbullah's integration within the Lebanese republic exposes Lebanon and its infrastructures to a more massive hit in the event of a future standoff." Barak went on to threaten Iran, which he said "continues to thumb its nose at the world and act vigorously to promote its military nuclear program. Israel is not taking any option off the table and I recommend that neither do others. Beyond that, any explicit statement would be harmful." Earlier, addressing the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, the defense minister said that he did not regret the truce with Hamas, and assessed that the situation in the South would stabilize once more. "I'm not sorry for any day or month of quiet," he said. "In each of the two months leading up to the truce there were 500 incidences of Kassam rocket fire and mortar fire, a figure which dropped to roughly ten a month when the truce kicked in." Barak pointed out the resurgence of rocket attacks since an IDF operation targeted a tunnel on the Gaza border several weeks ago, but predicted that the truce would eventually reestablish itself.


Here's how to get great-looking lashes, and as importantly, keep your eyes safe! Makeup pro Yisell shares mascara tips from her 10+ years of work in film, TV, print & bridal.
A thin wand is best. It lets you get into the corners of your eyes and reduces clumping from too much mascara on the wand.
Use two coats. For the first coat, apply from lash base to lash tips and wiggle brush back and forth horizontally.
Use the second coat to complement your eye shape: For wide-set eyes, make them appear closer set by applying more mascara to the inner lashes. For close-set eyes, make them appear wider set by applying more mascara to the outer lashes. And for narrow or small eyes, make them appear larger by applying more mascara to the center lashes.
Whether you wear your mascara 1 time or 50 times, once it's opened, the 3 month ticker starts. Replace all mascara within 3 months after opening it.
Never apply mascara while moving (even if you're just a passenger). Most infections happen when the eye is scratched by the mascara wand, and then the germs on the wand infect the scratch.
Don't pump the wand. It introduces more germs from the air.
Don't add water or other liquid to a dry mascara. It introduces germs and also may interfere with the preservative system, a double whammy.

GALLERIES > MAMMALS > MUSTANG [Equus caballus]
Location: Piñon, AZ
GPS: 36.2N, -110.2W, elev=6,476' MAP
Etymology and usage
Mustangs are often referred to as wild horses but, since all free-roaming horses in America descended from horses that were originally domesticated, the more correct term is feral horses. Today, the only true wild horse is the Przewalski's Horse, native to Mongolia.
The English word "mustang" comes from the Mexican Spanish word mestengo, derived from Spanish mesteño, meaning "stray" or "feral animal". The Spanish word in turn may possibly originate from the Latin expression animalia mixta (mixed beasts), referring to beasts of uncertain ownership, which were distributed in shepherd councils, known as mestas in medieval Spain. A mestengo was any animal distributed in those councils, and by extension any feral animal.
History Mustangs in Utah
Horses lived in North America in prehistoric times, but died out at the end of the last ice age around 10-12,000 years ago, possibly due to climate change or the impact of newly-arrived human hunters. Horses returned to the Americas by the Conquistadors, beginning when Columbus imported horses from Spain to the West Indies on his second voyage in 1493. They returned to the mainland with the arrival of Cortés in 1519.
The first Mustangs descended from Iberian horses brought to Mexico and Florida. Most of these horses were of Andalusian, Arabian and Barb ancestry. Some of these horses escaped or were stolen by Native Americans, and rapidly spread throughout western North America.
Native Americans quickly adopted the horse as a primary means of transportation. Interestingly, in light of the horse's prehistoric existence in the Americas, many Indian myths and stories about the arrival of horses claimed that "the grass remembered" them. Horses replaced the dog as a travois puller and greatly improved success in battles, trade, and hunts, particularly buffalo hunts.
Starting in the colonial era and continuing with the westward expansion of the 1800s, horses belonging to explorers, traders and settlers that escaped or were purposely released joined the gene pool of Spanish-descended herds. It was also common practice for western ranchers to release their horses to locate forage for themselves in the winter and then recapture them, as well as any additional Mustangs, in the spring. Some ranchers also attempted to "improve" wild herds by shooting the dominant stallions and replacing them with pedigreed animals.
By 1900 North America had an estimated two million free-roaming horses. Since 1900, the Mustang population has been reduced drastically. Mustangs were viewed as a resource that could be captured and used or sold (especially for military use) or slaughtered for food, especially pet food. The controversial practice of mustanging was dramatized in the John Huston film The Misfits, and the abuses linked to certain capture methods, including hunting from airplanes and poisoning, led to the first federal wild free-roaming horse protection law in 1959. Protection was increased further by the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971.
Mustangs today Nevada's State Quarter, featuring the Mustang
Today, free-roaming horses are protected under United States law, but have disappeared from several states where there were once established populations. National Summary, FY2007]</ref> A few hundred free-roaming horses survive in Alberta and British Columbia. The BLM considers 27,000 individuals a manageable number, but the feral Mustang population currently exceeds 33,000.Horses.euthanasia.ap/index.html "Plan to kill wild horses runs into trouble>" Associated Press, July 7, 2008]</ref> More than half of all Mustangs in North America are found in Nevada (which features the horses on its State Quarter in commemoration of this), with other significant populations in Montana, Wyoming and Oregon. National Summary, FY2007
In some modern mustang herds there is clear evidence of other domesticated horse breeds having become intermixed with feral herds. Some herds show the signs of the introduction of Thoroughbred or other light racehorse-types into herds, a process that also led in part to the creation of the American Quarter Horse. Other herds show signs of the intermixing of heavy draft horse breeds turned loose in an attempt to create work horses. Other, more isolated herds, retain a strong influence of original Spanish stock.
Some breeders of domestic horses[who?] consider the Mustang herds of the west to be inbred and of inferior quality. However, supporters of the Mustang argue that the animals are merely small due to their harsh living conditions and that natural selection has eliminated many traits that lead to weakness or inferiority. Some mustang supporters[who?] also maintain that some "inbreeding" actually concentrates the traits of hardiness and durability, making the mustang a valuable genetic resource. Regardless of these debates, the Mustang of the modern west has several different breeding populations today which are genetically isolated from one another and thus have distinct traits traceable to particular herds. These herds vary in the degree to which they can be traced to original Iberian horses. Some contain a greater genetic mixture of ranch stock and more recent breed releases, others are relatively unchanged from the original Iberian stock.
Land use controversies Mustangs at a water source
Controversy surrounds the presence of feral Mustang herds. Supporters argue that Mustangs are part of the natural heritage of the American West, whose history predates modern land use practices, and thus the animals have an inherent right of inhabitation. However, other people remain vehemently opposed to their presence, arguing that the animals degrade rangeland and compete with livestock and wild species for forage.
The debate as to what degree Mustangs and cattle compete for forage is multifaceted. One group of opponents, primarily cattle and sheep ranchers and those who depend on the livestock industry, argue essentially that feral horses degrade rangeland and compete with private livestock for public land forage. The environmentalist community is split over the position of the Mustang within the North American ecosystem. This debate centers on the potential classification of Mustangs as either an introduced species such as cattle, or as a reintroduced native species due to the prehistoric presence of horses in North America, albeit with a gap of thousands of years between their extinction and reintroduction from European stock.
Researchers note that most current Mustang herds live in arid areas which cattle cannot fully utilize due to the lack of water sources. Horses are better adapted by evolution to such climates.; they may range nine times as far from water sources as cattle, traveling as much as 50 miles a day. This allows them to utilize areas not grazed by cattle. In addition, horses are "hindgut fermenters," meaning that they digest nutrients by means of the cecum rather than by a multi-chambered stomach. In practical effect, horses can obtain adequate nutrition from poorer forage than cattle can, surviving in areas where cattle will starve.
Management and adoption Mustangs at the Palomino Valley Adoption Center
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is tasked with protecting, managing, and controlling wild horses and burros under the authority of the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act to ensure that healthy herds thrive on healthy rangelands and as multiple-use mission under the 1976 Federal Land Policy and Management Act. Under the 1971 Act, shooting or poisoning Mustangs in the wild is illegal, and doing so can be prosecuted as a criminal felony.
Healthy adult Mustangs have few natural predators aside from mountain lions, and their herd sizes can multiply rapidly. To maintain population balance, (or, some argue, to make room for cattle) one of the BLM's key responsibilities under the 1971 law is to determine an appropriate management level (AML) of wild horses and burros in areas of public rangelands dedicated specifically for them. Control of the population to within AML is achieved through a capture program.
Most horses that are captured are offered for adoption to individuals or groups willing and able to provide humane, long-term care after payment of an adoption fee that ranges from $25 to $125. In order to prevent the later sale of mustangs as horse meat, adopted mustangs are still protected under the Act, and cannot be sold in the first year except when certain very specific criteria are met.
Because there is a much larger pool of captured horses than of prospective adoptive owners, in January 2005, a controversial amendment was attached to an appropriation bill before the United States Congress by former Senator Conrad Burns, dubbed the "Burns rider." This modified the adoption program to allow the sale (with the result usually being slaughter) of captured horses that are "more than 10 years of age", or that were "offered unsuccessfully for adoption at least three times." In the 110th United States Congress, legislation was introduced to have the rider repealed and the original language restored. The matter passed the House of Representatives and as of mid-2008 still awaits action in the Senate. At present, with about 30,000 Mustangs in holding facilities, the BLM has, for the first time in public, considered euthanasia as a possible solution to overpopulation.

Styx 'Paradise Theater' Album To Be Released On Limited Numbered Hybrid SACD!
"Styx's high-water mark...one of the greatest albums in rock history."
Camarillo, CA - Styx fans rejoice with the release of the band's critically acclaimed album 'Paradise Theater' on limited numbered Hybrid SACD by Marshall Blonstein's Audio Fidelity. Styx's 10th album, the 1981 release 'Paradise Theater' was the band's fourth consecutive triple-platinum album. A resounding success, 'Paradise Theater' was their greatest commercial triumph and their only #1 album. It remains one of the best examples of the convergence between progressive rock and AOR which typified the arena rock sound of the top groups of the late-seventies and early-eighties such as Journey, REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick and Kansas.
Styx was a great group of talented musicians - Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw, James Young, Chuck Panozzo and John Panozzo. The album included three Billboard Hot 100 hits, "The Best of Times," "Nothing Ever Goes As Planned" and "Too Much Time on My Hands" considered among Tommy Shaw's finest singles ever. Another track, "Rockin' The Paradise" reached #8 on the Top Rock Track Chart.
The concept album is a fictional account of Chicago's Paradise Theatre from its opening to closing, used as a metaphor for America's changing times from the late 1970s into the 1980s.
"...some of the best songs Styx would ever write!"

A: You can't.  Python intentionally does not support access control.  By convention, methods starting with an underscore are private, and you should clearly state in the documentation who is supposed to use the method.

A: Python does not support access protection as C++/Java/C# does.  Everything is public.  The motto is, "We're all adults here."  Document your classes, and insist that your collaborators read and follow the documentation.
The culture in Python is that names starting with underscores mean, "don't use these unless you really know you should."  You might choose to begin your "protected" methods with underscores.  But keep in mind, this is just a convention, it doesn't change how the method can be accessed.
Names beginning with double underscores (__name) are mangled, so that inheritance hierarchies can be built without fear of name collisions.  Some people use these for "private" methods, but again, it doesn't change how the method can be accessed.
The best strategy is to get used to a model where all the code in a single process has to be written to get along.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Carlos Silva threw six smooth innings, Rondell White hit his first home run of the season in his first game back from the disabled list, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Cleveland Indians 5-2 on Sunday.
Luis Castillo and Michael Cuddyer also homered and Jason Tyner drove in two runs for the Twins, who won the last three of the four-game series to start the second half.
Grady Sizemore's leadoff home run wasn't nearly enough for the Indians, who were hoping to emerge from the All-Star break in far better fashion. They turned four double plays behind rookie Jeremy Sowers, but couldn't solve the struggling Silva.
Joe Nathan pitched the ninth for his 16th save, finishing a bittersweet weekend for Minnesota -- which placed three outfielders on the disabled list in the past four days. The biggest blow came during this game, when the team learned standout center fielder Torii Hunter has a stress fracture in his left foot.
After two solid seasons as a stabilizer in the middle of the rotation, Silva (5-9) had an awful first half.
Three consecutive strong starts in late June were followed by two rough outings in July, and he left in the second inning of the last one with soreness in his right knee. Silva, who had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in the knee last September, was checked out by two doctors over the All-Star break.
He began the second half with a big boost for his beat-up team. He held Cleveland to five hits and two runs while striking out four without a walk.
Sizemore's 16th homer was an upper-deck shot that set an ominous tone for Silva, who relies heavily on a sinker that leads to a lot of groundballs when it's working well. But the big right-hander didn't flinch, retiring seven straight after that. A two-out RBI single by Casey Blake in the third inning was the only other damage done.
Sowers (1-3), making his fourth career start, didn't keep his lead for very long. Castillo hit his third homer to start the bottom of the first.
Joe Mauer, the leading hitter in the majors, grounded into two of the Twins' double plays. One wiped out a leadoff single by Nick Punto in the fourth. But Cuddyer came next with his home run, and then Justin Morneau singled. White hit a shallow fly to left that Todd Hollandsworth lost in the Metrodome's tricky, graying ceiling for a fluke double.
Tyner, who has five RBIs and six hits in 12 at-bats since being called up this weekend, smacked a single to left that scored two and gave Minnesota a 4-2 lead.
White, signed for $2.5 million this season, never found his stroke and has been bothered by tightness in his surgically repaired left shoulder that sent him to the disabled list and on a rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Rochester. He is batting .190 with 16 RBIs in 184 at-bats.
White drove an 0-1 pitch into the left-field seats leading off the seventh against Sowers, who gave up 11 hits and five runs without a walk in seven innings while striking out one.
The Indians began the afternoon in fourth place, 20½ games behind the Tigers in the AL Central.
NOTES: Cuddyer's homer, his 12th, was his first in a span of 81 at-bats. ... Travis Hafner extended his career-long hitting streak to 11 games for Cleveland with a single in the eighth.
