US District Attorney Announces Results From NEK Drug Sweep
Written by Nick Anastasi
SAINT JOHNSBURY-US District Attorney Christina Nolan was in Saint Johnsbury along with local and state agencies. Nolan announced the effort, which focused in on drug trafficking in the Northeast Kingdom.
The month long operation targeted the areas of Newport, and Saint Johnsbury, resulting in the arrest or charges brought against 16 individuals. About 700 bags of fentanyl and heroin, and 100 grams of cocaine were seized during the operation. In addition, two firearms and $4,000 worth of drug proceeds were collected.
Nolan says that "we know that the drug crisis is hitting hard up here, and so all year long, we've been up here trying to bring appropriate charges against individuals who are involved in violence and drug trafficking. But over this past month or so, we've really made a different kind of sustained, targeted push, and really tried to move quickly to make a community impact."
On Monday night at 6:30, Nolan and her team will hold a public forum in the Saint Johnsbury School Auditorium. There they will present about the problems facing Vermont, and will allow the opportunity for questions and answers.

Iraq after Bush
The most important question of the US presidential campaign is whether we can hope for a rejection of 'democratic imperialism' after an illegal war that made both the US and the world less safe
Pierre Schori
As we enter the sixth year of the trillion-dollar war in Iraq – with tens of thousands of Western soldiers fighting and many dying in Muslim lands, with some 1000 new Israeli homes being planned on occupied Palestinian territory after Annapolis, the dollar falling and oil prices at an all-time high – all eyes are set on the American elections.
Around the globe, you hear the same questions: will we see more of the same in 2009? Can we hope for a rejection of "democratic imperialism", after an illegal war that U.S. Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez called "a nightmare without an end in sight", and that made both the U.S. and the world less safe?
Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, for whom I worked, was a warm admirer of America. He strongly opposed the war in Vietnam but insisted that we needed to prepare for the post-Vietnam era. His ambition was helped by the United States at the time. Together we heard Vice President Walter Mondale, while on an official visit to Sweden in 1979, publicly state about Vietnam: "You were right and we were wrong".
Before that, in January 1973, Secretary of State William Rogers, in a spirit of responsibility and realism, had signed the Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam, in Paris. Article 21 stipulated: The United States anticipates that this Agreement will usher in an era of reconciliation with the Democratic Republic of Viet-Nam as with all the peoples of Indochina.
In pursuance of its traditional policy, the United States will contribute to healing the wounds of war and to post-war reconstruction of the Democratic Republic of Viet-Nam and throughout Indochina.
Maybe we cannot expect such a (much needed) declaration of remorse from the new President. But in these turbulent times, we must now prepare for the post-Iraq era. We must get our agenda right, create a new commitment on both sides of the Atlantic, and focus on collective solutions to global problems.
Change must begin in Washington. We need answers about U.S. ulterior goals and the role of the United Nations in Iraq. What will happen with the statement signed November 26 by President Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki, which seemed to commit the U.S. to a long-term military presence in the country and aim at replacing the existing Security Council mandate with "a bilateral setting".
Democrats have objected to the declaration. But following the volatile election campaign, many Europeans wonder if the Republican-started war could develop into an American war, with U.S. bases and thousands of soldiers and even more back-up personnel in Iraq, including the infamous private contractors.
Such a scenario would be applauded by the authors of the Project for the New American Century who in 1988 asked for "a strong military presence…in order to defend our vital interests in the Persian Gulf ". Most of the Project's demands would then be met: Saddam Hussein gone, an American beachhead established in the region close to the oil fields, Israel allegedly safer, and no hassle with UN resolutions.
But public opinion in Europe would not accept it, nor would the E.U. be able to accompany the U.S in Iraq, even if some European leaders express hope about a new beginning next January. A return to U.S. respect for the UN charter and the Geneva conventions is therefore called for.
Without such clarifications, especially on the Republican side, the U.S. stand could be interpreted as a "bad cop, good cop" arrangement by outside observers. We see the President preparing for a unilateral agenda with Iraq and vetoing a bill that would have explicitly prohibited the CIA from water-boarding, while the Republican "good cop", Senator McCain, remains silent.
The Senator argued – in Foreign Affairs (December 2007) – for a revitalizing of the transatlantic partnership. He saw the future of the partnership in "developing a common energy policy, creating a transatlantic common market tying our economies more closely together, and institutionalizing our cooperation on issues such as climate change, foreign assistance, and democracy promotion".
All these are noble goals but the E.U. is already deeply involved in these areas, and the Senator's determination to go for a military solution in Iraq will not promote deeper cooperation.
In Iraq there will be no sustainable or legitimate solution without a UN resolution. But a vague UN resolution could become a poisoned chalice for the world organization. A prominent US scholar told European diplomats in August 2002 that the Bush administration's alleged plan for Iraq was: "Go in, get rid of (Saddam), get out, and let the UN and EU muck around".
There is distrust, ignorance, and prejudice to dispel on both sides of the Atlantic. New confidence and genuine partnership are badly needed. There will be no stability in the world – or at the UN – without the U.S. Nor will the U.S. find lasting security without the world. Unilateralism equals collateral damage, multilateralism collateral benefits.
Pierre Schori is Director General of FRIDE and a founding member of ECFR. His book 'Dragon´s Teeth- September 11, the Iraq War and the world after Bush' has just been published in Sweden.

See, I told you I had this downtime thing called an Easy well in paw. I still have to be close to the toys though, just in case.
So, I did end up earless in my selfie but I wanted to try and get an eye and whiskers close up. I think this will do! See you at the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop.
Oh Simon, you sure can get relaxed. Glad that you are guarding those toys. We wouldn't want them to wander off. You all have a perfect day.
All eyes on the flashy thing, or the toys.
OH my gosh! You have wowed my mom…and me! We are practically speechless looking at all that gorgeousness! Those aqua colored eyes…that tail! That TUMMY!
Oh my…….you certainly do relax "artfully" Simon!
That is a pawsome selfie Simon. We like your eyes.
All that floof looks pretty good too. Enjoy your easy.
It's funny how cats could care less how when they expose themselves LOL Have an EASY Sunday.
Handsome Simon, you've got that easy down! The earless selfie shows off those gorgeous eyes of yours. Take it easy today sweetie.
Great selfies. I love those green eyes.
Simon says…………….take it E A S Y!!!
Awww…you did a great job with your selfie even if it is earless!!
Such a sweet selfie, Simon! You have pretty eyes for a boy!
We LOVE the selfie, and you sure do look like the King of Comfort, Simon!!

Kagetsu Buic is a Melbourne based fine-art landscape/adventure photographer, finding inspiration across the globe. Born in Darwin, Australia he was driven to be creative by his parents in both artistic and technological pursuits. He has a degree in mechanical engineering, and has a passion for mathematics and sciences and how they apply to humanity and the environment. He also has a deep love of the solitude of nature, and the impact we as humans have on the world, and the impact the world has on us.
His works often feature natural vistas presented as large format prints, which allows his works to be viewed with some of the enormity and detail of the landscape, but also features a journalistic impression when combined with human influence on a scene. Buic's work is often from remote and challenging locations where he is able to find untouched natural landscapes that he can capture to share such scenes and the stories within with his audience. Such places have included Antarctica, Spitsbergen Norway, and the Atacama desert. Kagetsu's passion for nature has been influenced by such people as Ansel Adams and David Attenborough, with a wish to preserve not only the nature of a place but it's history too.
"Sometimes it's just about enveloping myself in the story or nature of a location, and waiting for the photograph to happen... though sometimes it doesn't. At other times it could be a view from outside my window where I stop for the night. I love that so much time and physical exhaustion (not to mention money) can be spent preparing for a single photograph, for it to boil down to 1/400th of a second of time."
Kagetsu is someone who has dedicated himself to the process of creating each photograph from start to finish. From colour accuracy to printing, all are completed by him personally with not step outsourced (except framing and paper-making).

Simoon, painting by Lesley Dumbrell.
1973, gouche and pencil on paper, 48 x 63cm. Gippsland Art Gallery Collection. Donated by Georges Australia Ltd, from the Georges Art Prize, 1974.
In Simoon, Lesley Dumbrell places a series of blue lines over a series of yellow lines, which converge at the top centre of the image and at two points on the bottom. Both blue and yellow are set against a red background. While intensely formal and precise in design, the work conveys an equally intense sensation of blazing heat and motion. Dumbrell's paintings are based on the experience of landscape forms and natural phenomena. While abstract, her works are never completely divorced from physical sensations experienced in the real world.


Every image I create is imbued with symbolism - sacred geometry of shapes and patterns, light and colours, flowers, animals, Gods & Goddesses… All are visual expressions of the science manifesting reality. Images for connecting into with your Mind to enhance your experience of reality. To see more in my abstract and conceptual art look beyond the surface images and think of them as a 'thought forms' to blend into and work with.
I often post one of my pieces with a short interpretation and insight for that day. As examples here are a couple that I posted on my facebook page in December 2016. Enjoy!
Emotions colour our lives. Every time you are triggered by events in your life to feel blue (sadness), see red (anger, hate), feel green (with envy).... they happen to reflect back and show you the inner work you need to do along the Spiral path towards the inner, central Self where unconditional Joy is experienced.
Look at the subtle images within the paintings, which were not created intentionally. For example I see a swan at the centre. Swans symbolise grace, the awakening power of the inner Self, balance, inner beauty and the 'rising glory' of a new day.
As 2017 approaches here is a thought for the new year. Allow your potential to unfurl to reveal you in all your splendour. Awaken your senses, exeperience the colours of life and learn from them.

Jacob deGrom and the Mets have agreed to a contract extension, thus ending a drama that was threatening to stick around for two more years.
The deal is for five years, $137.5 million. If that sounds familiar, it is because that is the exact amount the Mets gave Johan Santana (over six years, though). There is also a club option for a sixth year at $32.5 million. The contract begins immediately, so deGrom gets an instant raise from the $17 million he was supposed to make this season.
This is a good deal for both sides. deGrom gets $27.5 million per season. Had he waited for free agency two years from now, maybe he could have gotten a couple of million more per year. But that's assuming he pitches well and does not get injured. Why risk $137.5 million to try for a relatively little bit more (or nothing in the case of a serious injury) when he could take the sure cash?
For the Mets, they lock up the face of their franchise at a fair rate and avoid yet another PR disaster.
Could this be the beginning of the Mets actually keeping their stars for their entire careers? It only took them more than half a century to figure it out.

Super bad virus attack!
Truth or. . . HOAX?
Can you say, "The bunk stops here?"
When receiving an e-mail virus warning (chain letters & any forwarded e-mail, too), please check it out first to see if it's a hoax. It can be quite embarrassing when you forward an e-mail to all of your friends, then they find out it's a hoax. When in doubt. . . check it out! Check out our list of Websites where you can verify virus warnings and chain letters (or any other e-mails you may have doubts about) to be sure they are genuine alerts or if they are true "before" you forward them to your friends.
Larry's "Hoax Finder!"
"Search" before you forward!
For a humorous look at "forwarding e-mail," read, "The Forwarder's 12 Step Program."
If you are not familiar with the term "Phishing," you need to be. The scam is called 'phishing' - as in fishing for your password, but spelled differently.
Webopedia.com defines phishing as: "The act of sending an e-mail to a user claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The Web site, however, is bogus and set up only to steal user's information."

E-mail Hijacking! (11/19/04)
If someone is "spoofing" (faking or hijacking) your e-mail address, making it appear as if the e-mail is coming from you, the solutions are to change all of your e-mail addresses, or get a good spam blocker and just try to stay on top of it.

The Lovegate Worm is Back! - (7/12/04)
It's a new variant that scans PCs for executable files and then renames them. This particular version of the worm spreads by e-mailing itself to addresses found on an infected machine. Once it has gained control of the system through a "back door," it then scans the network that the system is on. Learn about this worm and how to protect your PC by surfing to: http://news.com.com.
Severe Attack By Worm Variant W32.Sasser.B.Worm - (5/3/04)
A variant worm found on May 1st has already risen to a category 4 and has a very high distribution rating on the SARC site. This new threat is a self-replicating, self-installing worm that has nothing to do with e-mail. W32.Sasser.B attempts to exploit a vulnerability in Microsoft and spread by scanning randomly-chosen IP addresses for vulnerable systems. It is thought to infect home users more than corporate users, however this may change at any given moment. If you have a system that is already infected by this worm, then download the removal tool at: http://securityresponse.symantec.com.
Yet Another Mass-Mailing Worm Spreads - W32.Netsky.B - (2/21/04)
This worm is a mass-mailing worm that arrives as an attachment in your e-mail. This worm then searches through your drive for any folder names containing "Share" or "Sharing." Once again this worm spoofs the "from" address which confuses most people. For more detailed information, check out: The Data Doctor.
Mass Mailing e-mail worm in wide distribution. Named the W32.Novarg.A@mm (Norton), W32/Mydoom@MM (McAfee), WORM_MIMAIL.R (Trend Micro) - (1/26/04)
The worm generally arrives as an attachment to e-mail with the file extension .bat, .cmd, .exe, .pif, .scr, or .zip. If you open an infected attachment, a backdoor program will be installed into the system that will allow a remote attacker to access and make use of the computer. This worm is designed to attack all current versions of Windows but does not affect DOS, Linux, Macintosh, OS/2, UNIX, Windows 3.x based systems. Infected messages will generally have the following characteristics: From: Usually a spoofed 'from' address, meaning that the address used is not the actual sender... DO NOT BLAME THE SENDER, AS THEY ARE AN INNOCENT PARTY TO THE WORM! NOTE: We know that this virus has been sent from many variations of the CelebrateLove.com address. We are not the sender. Please delete this e-mail. For more detailed information, check out: Network Associates, Inc.

You are NOT under investigation - (2/22/02)
Some new ads that pose as an error message in your browser are using fear to sell their product. You may encounter a page that looks very similar to a "404 - Page not found" error that claims that you are being investigated and or tracked. Get the full story about these scumbags here.
NOTE: Delete! Delete! Remember, receiving a virus e-mail will not (in almost ALL cases) infect your computer. The damage is done when you OPEN the attachment. WHOOPS!! I understand that there may now be a rare exception to this. Stay tuned.
Much of the info that is sent as an attachment, except photo images and a few other exceptions, can be included in the text of the e-mail. My first rule of e-mail is not to accept attachments! Although it is often a minor inconvenience, my friends know I don't accept attachments, therefore they know to send me an e-mail telling me they have something important to send, I then can choose to accept or not. Works for me.
I also keep a "very private" e-mail address that only my "very close" friends know about. The e-mail with the ILOVEYOU virus attachment slipped through on that account, however my friend immediately sent another e-mail saying her computer was infected and to not open it. I'm not sure there is a perfect solution to this problem, except to NEVER accept e-mails with attachments. Think before you click!
BEWARE OF "PHISHING": E-mail that impersonates an e-mail or Web page from a real, respectable company, in an attempt to get you to provide account information that they can use to steal money from you. For more info click here or here for a list of the most recent "Phishing Attacks!"
And now. . . back to the "Truth or HOAX" article. . .
Electronically Transmitted Diseases (ETD) continue to proliferate. Most everyone has received e-mail warnings about computer viruses, a message from Bill Gates inviting you to send chain letters in exchange for up to $1,000 worth of free software, a trip to Disneyland, an e-mail at the request of a dying boy, or someone with cancer begging you to forward it to everyone so that someone could live forever.
It is "Truth or Hoax?
Some of those chain letters are funny, however the fact is MOST ARE UNTRUE and serve no purpose other than to clog the Internet with junk e-mail or scare people. It also contributes to the overall slowing down of the Internet. Filling our inboxes with this junk e-mail is almost always a waste of the sender's energy and the receiver's time.
The "rule" is simple. Don't just forward it to all of your friends. When in doubt. . . check it out!
Current netiquette suggests that before forwarding *ANY* virus warning or possible hoax to hundreds of your closest friends, you take responsibility for checking it out. Writing a note at the top that says "I don't know if this is true or not" or "it was sent to us with the assurance that it is on the level" does not count as due diligence! As a matter of fact, if your friends would only admit it, this type of e-mail is at the very top of the "annoyance" chart.
Now. . . when someone sends you any suspicious e-mail requesting that you inform the universe. . . you will have a point of reference to share with them. Simply send them the link to this page. This page will provide you with the most recent links to many of the most informed and up-to-date websites that offer numerous resources that will help you know if it is "truth or HOAX?"
Here are a few example HOAXES that may have fooled you. . .
1. The WOBBLER Virus (aka California Virus) e-mail message is a HOAX. There is no "GOOD TIMES" virus. In fact, you should never, ever, ever forward any e-mail containing any virus warning unless you first confirm it at an actual site of an actual company that actually deals with virus information. And even then, I don't forward them. You can trust the information you get at Symantec Anti-Virus Research Center. Here's another trustworthy site for Hoax Warnings.
2. The e-mail about a 5-cent surcharge on all e-mail is a HOAX. The "Washingtonian," an actual publication quoted in this HOAX e-mail, says it NEVER wrote about such a surcharge and that the congressmen quoted in the hoax e-mail don't exist. You can read the entire disclaimer at: Washingtonian Online - Letter from the Editor.
3. Bill Gates is not giving you $1000. Big companies don't do business via chain letter. There is no baby food company issuing class-action checks. You can relax; there is no need to pass it on "just in case it's true". Furthermore, just because someone said in the message, four generations back, that "we checked it out and it's legit," does not actually make it true.
4. There is no kidney theft ring in New Orleans. No one is waking up in a bathtub full of ice, even if a friend of a friend swears it happened to their cousin. If you are hellbent on believing the kidney-theft ring stories. Here is a partial quote: "The National Kidney Foundation has repeatedly issued requests for actual victims of organ thieves to come forward and tell their stories. None have." That's "none" as in "zero". Not even your friend's cousin.
5. Neiman Marcus doesn't really sell a $200 cookie recipe. And even if they do, we all have it. And even if you don't, you can get a copy (supposed to be the original) at: http://www.bl.net/forwards/cookie.html. Then, if you make the recipe, decide the cookies are that awesome, feel free to pass the recipe on.
6. NASA E-mail Hoax. Even if the latest NASA rocket disaster(s) DID contain plutonium that went to particulate over the eastern seaboard, do you REALLY think this information would reach the public via an America Online chain-letter?
7. Craig Shergold in England is not dying of cancer or anything else at this time and would like everyone to stop sending him their business cards. He apparently is also no longer a "little boy" either.
8. The e-mail that involves a story of how Stanford University began is a HOAX.
9. Disney is not giving you a free vacation. The Disney offer signed by Walt Disney's son is a HOAX. Surprise! Walt Disney had no son!
10. The "FREE M&M's!" message is a hoax. David Emery debunks the hoax in detail on the About.com Urban Legends and Folklore website at: Free M&M's for the Millennium HOAX. Go there and click on the "Free M&M's for the Millennium HOAX" link. Free M&Ms just for forwarding a chain-letter? I think not.
Here are a few of the discrepancies in that e-mail: Mars, Inc., makes M&Ms -- Mars is based in Virginia, not Hershey, Pennsylvania -- The Mars company says this e-mail is a hoax -- The Mars company does not employ anyone named "Jeffrey Newieb" -- This hoax is similar in many respects to the "Free Beer from Miller" hoax spotted some time ago -- E-mail "tracking" is a myth -- The "bad luck" threat is an element of traditional chain-letters. Don't fall for it.
Soooo. . . the next time an urgent message pops up on your screen, check some of the well-maintained, legitimate Web sources of hoax info on the following page to debunk the hoax and then press the delete key to avoid continuing to clutter up the Internet with hoax e-mail. Remember, "rumors" are a form of e-mail virus.
What if the e-mail is a real virus?
If it is, IT WILL APPEAR TO COME FROM SOMEONE YOU KNOW, PROBABLY A TRUSTED FRIEND OR CO-WORKER! The moral of the story is - NEVER click on (or open) an attachment that you receive in an e-mail, unless you are expecting it and know exactly what it is, NO MATTER WHO IT IS FROM. If you have any doubts, call or e-mail the sender first before opening the attached file.
This is important to know. Most experts agree that you cannot get a computer virus from an e-mail. You can only get the virus if you open the attachment to the e-mail. As a safety precaution, I turned off the attachment feature on my e-mail. If I receive a call from someone who is trying to send me an attachment, I can choose to turn it back on or not. Often text information sent as an attachment can fit into the body of an e-mail.
Be especially wary of any attachment that is a file type .EXE, although viruses can also come in Microsoft Word (.doc) or Excel (.xls) files, as well as a few others.
Because of this problem, it is bad judgement to send jokes or cartoons as e-mail attachments. Your smart friends won't look at them and you will be teaching your less paranoid friends bad habits. Besides, most text jokes will fit into the body of an e-mail, so why bother with an attachment?

If you visit the anti-virus labs at Network Associates or Symantec, you will be quickly corrected after an indiscriminate use of the "v" word. Virus experts prefer the terms "malicious code" or MalWare. A virus is just one type of malicious code. Following are explanations of the primary types of malicious code.
VIRUS - A true virus is capable of self-replication on one machine. It may spread between files or disks, but the defining characteristic is that it can re-create itself on its own without traveling to a new host. Transmission time to a new host is relatively slow, on the order of days or weeks.
WORM - A worm is designed to spread from one machine to another over any type of network. Currently, the most notorious worms take advantage of the Internet to spread. Transmission time here is on the order of seconds. Technically, the Melissa virus was a worm, not a virus.
TROJAN HORSE - A Trojan horse cannot replicate and need not spread; it is any code that does something you don't expect it to do. Something that looks like a cute graphics file, for example, might actually forge bogus e-mail messages.
These distinctions are important for historical and technical reasons, but Roger Thompson, diretor of malicious code research at ICSA, says the lines are blurring a little.
"It used to be the case that a Trojan horse was very limited in scope," Thompson says. "But now, with the Internet and access to directories, a Trojan horse can get 57 million e-mail addresses and fire itself off instantly around the globe. So it hardly matters whether or not it can replicate itself."
One of my pet peeves!
A word about "forwarding" e-mail. I love a funny story as much as anyone. I even collect funny "relationship" stories, but if you absolutely MUST forward that 10th-generation message from a friend, at least have the decency to trim the eight miles of headers showing everyone else who's received it over the last 6 months.
Recently, I received an e-mail with a joke that had so many headers in it that there wasn't room in the e-mail for the joke! Now THAT'S a joke! Besides, if it has gone around that many times - most people have probably already seen it. It sure wouldn't hurt to get rid of all the "" or the angle brackets (<< >>) that begin each line.
There is a handy $39.95 shareware application (and worth it!) for both MACs and PCs called, TEXTSoap that literally cleans up all of the HTML code from a forwarded e-mail. Take an extra minute to copy and paste the e-mail you want to forward in TEXTSoap, click a few buttons, and BINGO. . . it looks like you typed everything from scratch. Your friends will be amazed and appreciate you for it! It's available from Unmarked Software. OR. . .
Do it yourself. . . How to remove angle brackets (<< >>), line breaks, and extra spaces from forwarded e-mail messages:
You can clean up that e-mail message by using Word's or WordPad's "Find And Replace" feature.
1. Copy the message.
2. Paste the message contents in a new Word or WordPad document.
3. Click "Edit" from the menu bar then "Replace". (You can also press Ctrl + H)
4. Type the character you'd like removed- leave the Replace With text box blank.
5. Click "Replace All".
The final word on "Forwarding e-mail" - All of the people you send an e-mail to by placing their e-mail addresses in the "To:" area are now at risk if others in that list do the same thing. If anyone's computer on the list gets hacked, all those e-mail will will now be a part of the hacker's spam list. This is one of the main ways that computer virus' spread.
Almost all e-mail programs allow you to send multiple e-mail as a "blind carbon copy" (BBC). When sent as a BBC, each person who receives your e-mail cannot see the e-mail addresses of the others you sent it to. My suggestion is that if you forward e-mail, copy & paste the part you want to forward in a new e-mail, then put the e-mail addresses in the BBC area.
Yeah. . . I know. It takes a few minutes to do, but at least you are doing your part to stop spreading spam and computer virus'. Perhaps, you should consider whether you should even consider forwarding it at all. I forward a lot less e-mail now because of the time it takes to strip all the e-mail addresses out before I forward.
I started added the following to all e-mail that I forward recently:
If you forward this message, PLEASE delete the forwarding history which includes MY e-mail address. Only forward as a "blind carbon copy" (BCC) which keeps everyone's e-mail who forwarded it before from appearing in the e-mail. Erasing the history helps prevent spammers from mining addresses and viruses from being propagated. Thank you.

Influence of coping, self-esteem and social support on undergraduate students' emotional distress

Purpose Emotional distress, which includes stress, anxiety and depression, is considered a substantial mental health problem among university students because of its effects on academic achievement and well-being. The purpose of this paper is to examine levels of emotional distress, self-esteem, social support and coping methods and predicted emotional distress in undergraduate students across year levels in two semesters. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional study was conducted in a regional university with 117 and 118 students, respectively, the majority of whom were from the Faculty of Science. Announcements posted on the university website in two semesters were used to recruit convenience samples of participants who completed a battery of four self-administered questionnaires online. Findings Findings showed significant differences across year levels for emotional distress total (F(2, 107)=3.90, p=0.02), and social support total (F(2, 107)=3.57, p=0.03), especially in semester 1. Almost all maladaptive coping approaches led to risk of heightened emotional distress in both semester cohorts, ranging from using self-distraction (adjusted OR=4.54) to denial (adjusted OR=32.05). Interestingly, the use of active coping and high self-esteem appeared as risk factors rather than protective factors for mental distress, adjusted ORs=11.27 and 8.46, respectively. Originality/value Although adaptive coping skills did not alleviate students' mental distress, encouraging students to use adaptive coping and social support may help students face the challenges of university life.

Today Realm announces it will be sunsetting the "Realm Platform Developer Edition" as well as merging our "Enterprise" and "Professional" Editions under a new product name "Realm Platform Standard". For any of our existing "Professional" and "Enterprise" customers there will be no changes to your existing agreements, but for our "Professional" customers you may have the ability to make use of additional features by contacting us. While the "Developer" Edition has been a great way for developers to experience a limited set of features of the Realm Platform software, our research has shown that the vast majority of users need our Enterprise features. To this end we will now offer an extended trial period on "Realm Platform Standard" edition for early development and next month we will be releasing a 30-day free trial for Realm Cloud as well. Lastly, we have created a much more scalable pricing model for both the cloud and self-hosted versions that will allow you to get started at the right price and have Realm scale with your business.
• What does the Developer Edition Sunsetting (February 26, 2018) mean to me ?
Developer edition was designed for developers to get access to a minimal set of functionality in Realm Platform that they could use in development and in the early stages of the apps release. After careful consideration and a great amount of feedback from our users, we will no longer develop, maintain, or release the Realm Platform Developer Edition after April 30, 2018. We also will be combining the various software editions into one new edition called Realm Platform Standard. This version will essentially have all the functionality of our old Enterprise edition in one, more economical edition. With this new edition (offered in both the cloud and self-hosted deployment models) we will also provide a free trial version in the cloud that has all the core features and no limitations on functionality, as well as an extended trial period for developers to use and develop with the self-hosted version, again with no limits on functionality.
•How do I migrate from Realm Developer Edition to Realm Platform Standard?
Please contact us at [email protected] and we can guide to the best path forward.
•What is the detail on the new pricing models going forward so that I can get started at the right price and have Realm scale with my business?
•Can I get access to the Realm Platform Standard on the Cloud now?
•What's the best way for me to contribute my feedback and desires for future functionality in Realm Platform Standard?


Scottino Hall is home to the Schuster Theatre, where many breathtaking performances have taken place in the past.
Coming up on Sept. 27, there is another production that is sure to give the audience a ride.
Ellen McLaughlin's adaptation of the famous play "The Trojan Women" is coming to the Schuster Theatre.
This adaptation was written by Mclaughlin and refugees from the Bosnian War.
The show will be directed by Alaina M. Manchester, who has directed many shows including "Altar Boyz" and "Melancholy Play" here at Gannon.
The 90-minute play touches on the lives of the newly-widowed women of Troy after their defeat at the hands of the Greeks in 415 B.C. They wait for their Greek conquerors to claim them as slaves.
Most of the story is centered on one character, Cassandra, who can tell the future and fights to find reasons to live throughout all of the different troubles she encounters along her journey. Some changes are made in McLaughlin's adaptation, most notably the change of scenery.
In the original story by Euripides, the story mostly takes place on a beach whereas this adaptation takes place in a holding cell.
For the most part, most people who have seen the show before have had positive reviews of it. Many people say that it has an "unrelenting" grip on history, being one of the oldest anti-war stories.
When some people hear the words "Greek Tragedy," they already get turned off.
Just the mere idea of going to see one haunts people to sleep. Do not let that deter you from going to see this performance.
Manchester, an assistant professor in Gannon's School of Communication and the Arts, always puts on great performances and this one is sure to be another one.
This production dives deep into the history of the Trojans and what war was really like.
It shows things that most history classes would not normally cover, and that is already worth gold.
As stated before, the Schuster Theatre has held many great productions and many people have enjoyed their time at the performances.
It will be very cool to see history unfold right before your eyes as you watch the actors transform into different characters.
This is sure to be a captivating take on the lives of these ancient Trojan Women and their struggles in war-torn Troy.
The show typically runs through about 90 minutes and you will come out of the theatre with a positive experience.
The production will open on Sept. 27, 2018 at 8 p.m. Additional showings are set for 8 p.m., Sept. 28-29, Oct. 4-6 and 2 p.m. on Oct. 7.
Do not miss out on the opportunity to see a great performance directed by one of Gannon's very own!


A zincate-free electroless nickel deposition on aluminum bond pads is investigated. A three-step, etch, rinse, and electroless plating, is demonstrated for deposition on aluminum bond pads patterned with polyimide. The chemicals used are compatible with this dielectric material. The deposition has been achieved with good selectivity, uniformity, and deposition rate at 40 × 40 μ m aluminum bond pads. The adhesion and contact resistance were also determined and improved through anneals in the range 200-400°C for 1 h. The optimized condition for adhesion and contact resistance was an anneal at 400°C. The combination of a nickel hypophosphite reducing agent and the additives used leads to an active plating bath in the early stages of deposition, by comparison with commercial solutions, and hence, good coverage of the aluminum bond pad using the simplified process.

Title: The New Revolution

The New Revolution
An anarchist with an iPhone is the new revolutionary. Gone are the days of bushy beards and well-groomed moustaches and enter the flannel-wearing, soymilk-drinking iPhone user. While this is meant mostly in jest, this example illustrates the great oxymoron of modern anarchist, and for that matter leftist, life: we as anarchists strive to work against the capitalist system and overthrow the tyranny of the spectacle, but we can be beholden to it in our daily lives. What we preach and how we act are contradictory. Karl Marx, the father of leftist philosophy, would be utterly appalled at how far we have come from his vision. There is no possible way to achieve class consciousness when we are beholden to the sole identity granted by our Twitter handles and our Instagram likes.
At least in the United States, daily work and experience is so dependent upon cellphones, television, and other forms of placating media where no work is necessary to understand. Books, poems, art. Three mediums which have slipped into the avant-garde of daily living. These events and experiences require a significant amount of critical thought to relate to, more so than would be required while vegetating in front of television. Even "educational" channels and shows suffer from the inherent vapidity of the viewer; they operate under the delusion that they teach when they merely give. There is no questioning of the facts, no interpretation of the data, no drawing from your own experiences of the world when you suffer through the tedium of viewing television. Books, poems, art, and other methods unmentioned, of course, all require comparison of ideas, interpretation of literary meaning, and simply work done by you, the viewer. It is easier to succumb to the spectacle, to allow oneself to be overtaken by the products of capitalism, simply because that is the purpose of these devices: to addict.
It is for this reason that the oxymoron raised earlier is invalid. While in the better future these capitalist constructions that seek to enslave the masses to the opiate of the new release would be meaningless and disappear, that is not intended to fault those who have succumbed to the spectacle. School children cannot be blamed for boredom, classrooms are inefficient and unexciting. Those under the effects of their environment must be removed from said environment when possible, and when separation is impossible, then mitigation must occur. The work towards minimizing the placating effects of the spectacle and maximizing the elating effects of your true passions is the new revolution.
Within a society that does not value the human and only values the corporate, just societies do not exist on a large scale, but a small one. Only within these microcosms can we attempt this revolution by acting right, speaking right, and defending what is right. By these fairly vague terms I simply mean that we, as anarchists, have the duty to act in such a way as to best enable our victory over the spectacle, even if that means reading a book for half an hour a day instead of watching TV or working on some other productive task as opposed to consuming what is provided; to speak out about the perils of this current society to those within our circle of influence, though of course with tact and respect; and by using whatever free time we might have to fight this system. The monotony of the 9-5 is monotony that exhausts and depraves those that in order to survive, must produce to enrich someone else. Whatever dignity that can be recovered is dignity that must be retained as closely as possible.
The retention comes from the continual drive, even if it must be conscious, to produce for you and you alone. Consumption is meaningless in the capitalist world; the spectacle has degraded television and everyday entertainment to mindless drivel. Production for the sake of consumption by yourself and those within your circle is meaningful production because it comes out of desire for the human connection. The interpersonal relationships, complete with both positive and negative emotions, are relationships that are simply more powerful and important to the human condition than the one-side relationship consisting solely of admiration that consists the spectacle.
Lives within these private societies, where production occurs for the sake of the interpersonal, is the only way to combat the spectacle and eventually topple the capitalist regime. People producing for the human connection is the very antithesis to the capitalist model of producing for the sake of profit. Yes, an anarchist with an iPhone is ironic, but only if they allow the spectacle to overtake their rationality. If they are true anarchists, their internal battle with the spectacle is ongoing and raging. This is a battle that, if planned carefully and executed thoughtfully, can be won: they are the vanguard of the new revolution.

This violin created by Carl Becker in 1949 is part of the Steans Instrument Bank.
In its continuing mission to nurture the next generation of performing artists, the Ravinia Festival maintains an instrument bank through which it lends high-quality instruments to selected young professionals accepted into Ravinia's Steans Music Institute.
The first instrument acquired by the collection is a 1949 Carl Becker violin, which was presented to Ravinia in the fall of 1998 by the late Joseph Bernstein of Glencoe, the founding donor of the Instrument Bank. Other violins are a 1778 Joseph and Antonio Gagliano instrument; one handcrafted by Joannes Tononi of Bologna, dating from circa 1690; and one made by Eugenio Degani of Venice, dating back to 1891.
The Institute also owns two violas, one a Spanish instrument dated 1767 by José Massaguer and the other a modern American instrument, the work of Douglas Cox of Vermont. Three cellos complete the collection: one made in London by John Betts and dating from the period 1780 to 1785; another, also from London, the work of Richard Tobin dating from around 1820; and the third a Vuillaume dating from around 1860.
The need for an instrument bank was recognized at the end of Ravinia's 1996 season when world-renowned violinist and Ravinia's Steans Music Institute Program Director Miriam Fried reported that some of the young string players who won admission to the Institute could not afford quality instruments on which to develop their talents. Earlier that season, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cohn had expressed an interest in providing a better violin for the recipient of their scholarship. Supporters of the Steans Music Institute immediately began discussions on how to formalize an instrument-lending program, and the Cohns were among the first to contribute to it.
Gifts for the instrument bank have come from The Barbara, Patricia, and Richard Cohn Family Foundation; Mrs. Irl H. Marshall, Jr., a Ravinia Life Trustee and member of the Ravinia Festival Women's Board; Brooke Kolar, a member of the Ravinia Festival Women's Board; The Ruwitch Family, in memory of Robert S. and Shirley Ruwitch; The Stepan Company, through John Stepan, a Ravinia Festival trustee and Ravinia's Steans Music Institute Committee member; a gift from the Dr. Scholl Foundation; an anonymous foundation gift; and a matching grant from The Helen F. Whitaker Fund. The instrument bank is now complete unless additional contributions of funds or instruments are received.

The iPhone 5C leaks just keep piling in.
The latest photos show what appears to be the iPhone 5C, Apple's rumored cheaper iPhone with multi-colored plastic cases, in clear packaging similar to the iPod Touch. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 5C, along with a revamped iPhone 5S (with a new gold color option), at a media event on September 10.
With the most recent leaks, the iPhone 5C's existence seems more and more certain. We've seen videos and photos showing off the 5C's rear plastic shell, all of which look polished enough to bear the Apple name. And with mounting competition from Chinese smartphone makers like Xiaomi and slowing sales in China, Apple needs a cheaper phone that can compete in that country and other international markets.

The cholinotrophic system, which is dependent upon nerve growth factor and its receptors for survival, is selectively vulnerable in Alzheimer's disease (AD). But, virtually nothing is known about how this deficit develops in relation to the hallmark lesions of this disease, amyloid plaques and tau containing neurofibrillary tangles. The vast majority of transgenic models of AD used to evaluate the effect of beta amyloid (Aβ) deposition upon the cholinotrophic system over-express the amyloid precursor protein (APP). However, nothing is known about how this system is affected in triple transgenic (3xTg)-AD mice, an AD animal model displaying Aβ plaque- and tangle-like pathology in the cortex and hippocampus, which receive extensive cholinergic innervation. We performed a detailed morphological and biochemical characterization of the cholinotrophic system in young (2-4 months), middle-aged (13-15 months) and old (18-20 months) 3xTg-AD mice. Cholinergic neuritic swellings increased in number and size with age, and were more conspicuous in the hippocampal-subicular complex in aged female than in 3xTg-AD male mice. Stereological analysis revealed a reduction in choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) positive cells in the medial septum/vertical limb of the diagonal band of Broca in aged 3xTg-AD mice. ChAT enzyme activity levels decreased significantly in the hippocampus of middle-aged 3xTg-AD mice compared to age-matched non-transgenic (or wild type) mice. ProNGF protein levels increased in the cortex of aged 3xTg-AD mice, whereas TrkA protein levels were reduced in a gender-dependent manner in aged mutant mice. In contrast, p75(NTR) protein cortical levels were stable but increased in the hippocampus of aged 3xTg-AD mice. These data demonstrate that cholinotrophic alterations in 3xTg-AD mice are age- and gender-dependent and more pronounced in the hippocampus, a structure more severely affected by Aβ plaque pathology.

01/18/2019, Grace Cathedral , San Francisco, CA
Vajra Voices & Kitka present: The Eve of the March in Grace Cathedral with Shira Kammen and Theresa Wong
In honor and awe of the Women's March 2019, Vajra Voices & Kitka with the Grace Cathedral Ghiberti Center for Culture present The Eve of the March: a concert in the sacred space of Grace Cathedral where we will celebrate womens voices and the power of community.
On Friday, January 18, 2019 at 7:30pm Vajra Voices & Kitka with Shira Kammen and Theresa Wong come together in San Francisco in a special event to perform medieval and modern songs on the divine feminine.
Each and all of us involved in this project are inspired by the strength and wisdom inherent in mysticism, and by womens music and vocal traditions distilled over centuries.
Vajra Voices
The womens vocal ensemble Vajra Voices sings medieval to modern music. Since 2010, their rhapsodic performances of music of Hildegard von Bingen have been heard on outstanding Bay area concert series to include the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music Presidio Concerts, the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive FULL series, San Francisco Music Day, and the San Francisco Early Music Society concert series.In 2016, with grants from the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music Musical Grant Program and the California Arts Council, Vajra Voices recorded their first CD O Eterne Deus: Music of Hildegard von Bingen with instrumentalist, Shira Kammen (on Music & Arts). The U.K.s Choir & Organ calls it "the most convincing Hildegard disc yet from the USA. Performance highlights for the ensemble also include singing for the Garrett Moulton Dance Production, Speak, Angels in San Franciscos Yerba Buena Theater; and, in Divining with the Oakland Ballet. In 2016, Vajra Voices had the honor of singing in Grace Cathedral for the 40th Anniversary of the ordination of women in the Episcopal Church.
https://www.vajravoices.com/
Now celebrating its 39th season, Kitka is an American womens vocal arts ensemble inspired by traditional songs and vocal techniques from Eastern Europe. Each of Kitkas singers blend a contemporary sensibility with specialized vocal techniques that have been distilled over centuries. Dedicated to developing new audiences for music rooted in Balkan, Slavic, and Caucasian womens vocal traditions, Kitka also strives to expand the boundaries of folk song as a living and evolving expressive art form. Kitkas activities include an Oakland-based home series of concerts and vocal workshops, regional, national, and international touring, programs in the schools, recording, publication, and broadcast projects, master artist residencies, commissioning, original works, community service, and adventuresome collaborations. A frequently occurring symbolic word in Balkan women's folk song lyrics, Kitka means "bouquet" in Bulgarian and Macedonian.

Theresa Wong
Cellist, composer and vocalist Theresa Wong is active at the intersection of music, experimentation, improvisation and the synergy of multiple disciplines. Bridging sound, movement, theater and visual art, her primary interest lies in finding the potential for transformation for both the artist and receiver alike. Her works include The Unlearning (Tzadik), 21 songs for violin, cello and 2 voices inspired by Goya's Disasters of War etchings, O Sleep, an improvised opera for an 8-piece ensemble exploring the conundrum of sleep and dream life and Venice Is A Fish, a collection of solo songs. She has presented her work internationally and
collaborates with many singular artists, including compositions of commissioned works for Splinter Reeds, Vajra Voices and Del Sol string quartet. At the heart of her work is a desire to expand the sonic possibilities of materials and to explore their potential in many modes of performance.

Starting Early: If it takes a community to raise a child, this might be the place to start.
The first paid job I ever had was babysitting.
I started out taking care of my brothers occasionally (paid with a Mama Burger and root beer) to babysitting at the neighbours for real money.
The going rate was thirty five cents an hour, and fifty cents for each hour after midnight.
At fourteen, I spent the summer caring for three little kids while their parents worked. When I look back on it now, I realize I was really just a child looking after younger children. I didn't have first aid training; I didn't have early childhood development knowledge. Everything I knew or did was based on being the second oldest in a large family. The importance of trained, licensed child care providers wasn't even on the radar.
But then again, at that time, most families could live on one income, and there weren't many single parent families around.
Jumping forward a bunch of decades, life is quite different. It takes two parents working to earn the equivalent family income that one parent earned decades ago. And single parent families are much more common.
All this translates into a huge need for affordable, quality child care. In BC, we have licensed child care spaces for only about 20 percent of the kids. And those spaces are costly.
Parent fees for child care range from $800 per month for preschoolers to more than $1000 per month for infants or toddlers. For many households, the cost of child care is only slightly less than that for basic needs such as housing. With high fees and too few regulated spaces, parents are struggling to find safe alternatives for their children. Inadequate child care options results in underemployed parents and, for some, contributes to the cycle of poverty. One solution to the problem is a community plan proposed by the Coalition of Child Care Advocates and the Early Childhood Educators of BC.
Known simply as "$10 a Day Child Care Plan," it is a made in BC plan for BC families, offering a solution to the child care crisis that includes affordable, accessible, and quality child care.
Full time spots would be $10 a day; part time would be $7 a day, and families with incomes below $40,000 would be exempt from any fees.
The plan would provide a child care system that integrates care and learning into one service combining the strengths of quality, community-based child care with those of the public education system. It would also offer a regulated space for every child whose family wants or needs it, in homes and centres that would reflect the rich diversity of BC communities. The economic benefit to the province from more fully employed parents would be greater than the cost associated with implementing the program. Essentially, it's a win/win situation.
