Conservative Indiana Adopted Needle Exchange But Still Faces Local Resistance
03/09/2020 03/23/2020 - by Sober is the New Dope - Leave a Comment
Back when Cody Gabbard was shooting heroin, his only significant human contact was with others in the throes of addiction, who only cared to see him when he had drugs.
Then he walked into the basement of Fayette County's courthouse in the eastern Indiana city of Connersville, where two women — a public health nurse and a recovery coach — ran a syringe exchange program.
"There were days I went in there, to be honest with you, I just felt like killing myself. That would usually change by their spirits," said the now-27-year-old Gabbard, who contracted hepatitis C during his drug use. "As people say, a smile can do a lot for a person, and it certainly does, especially when you're in a dark spot in life." Besides hope and connection, the program he visited in 2017 offered free, clean needles and a place to dispose of dirty ones. People could also get HIV and hepatitis C testing, the overdose-reversal drug naloxone, fentanyl test strips, immunizations and wound care, plus referrals to drug treatment and other community resources.
Such programs were illegal in Indiana until 2015. That's when an HIV outbreak among injection drug users in southern Indiana's Scott County caused lawmakers to reconsider their objections to syringe exchanges, making the state ground zero for conservatives' growing acceptance of giving clean needles to people struggling with addiction.
Indiana's Needle Exchange Programs
But five years later, syringe exchanges are operating in only nine of Indiana's 92 counties, including Fayette, even though federal health officials warn that eight more are vulnerable to an HIV outbreak similar to Scott County's. Some public health experts say this reflects a continuing reluctance to treat addiction as a health issue and the political and logistical difficulties of starting exchanges and keeping them open.
"We've definitely made a lot of progress since the Scott County outbreak," said Don Des Jarlais, a professor in the School of Global Public Health at New York University, noting that the number of syringe exchanges nationwide has roughly doubled since 2015. "But we still have a very, very long way to go." In Indiana and West Virginia, he said, syringe exchanges have shut down or had restrictions placed on them because of backlash in the communities. This has happened despite decades of research showing that syringe programs prevent the spread of disease and reduce health care costs without increasing illegal drug use or crime.
Other conservative states that lifted restrictions on syringe exchanges in the wake of Indiana's HIV outbreak have fared better. For instance, Kentucky and North Carolina, which eased regulations in 2015 and 2016, respectively, both have exchanges available in about half their counties.
Indiana's law requires each needle exchange to be authorized by either a county's executive body or a municipality's legislative body, and then be renewed at least every two years. Alternatively, Indiana's health commissioner can declare a local state of emergency. The statewide law, once set to expire in 2019, was amended to end on July 1, 2021. A bill in the Indiana Senate to repeal the expiration date was defeated in early February.
Since April 2015, when the first legal syringe exchange opened in Scott County, nine more have launched across the state. Three have closed, with two of them eventually reopening.
The bigger issue is "we have a lot of communities that want to get one started, but they can't," said Indiana University researcher Carrie Lawrence.
Enabling Drug Use Or Saving Lives?
Instead, some local health departments in Indiana have resorted to distributing so-called harm reduction kits that include everything but syringes, such as sterile supplies to cook, snort and smoke narcotics. Still, these, too, have drawn the ire of some politicians and law enforcement.
"We're handing people equipment we know [is] going to be used for injection or ingestion of narcotics. We're not getting anywhere," said Lt. John Watson, a police officer in Seymour, Indiana, who has spoken out against his county health department's harm reduction program.
But public health officials argue that the supplies are critical to stopping the spread of infection, and that people will get high regardless of whether they have clean equipment.
"They're going to use a spoon. But they're going to use their mother's kitchen spoon instead," noted Khala Hochstedler, administrator of the Tippecanoe County Health Department, which has operated an exchange since 2017. "That could have hepatitis C on it, and another family member could pick it up."
One of the most vocal opponents of the syringe service programs has been Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill, who argues for strict one-on-one exchanges of used needles for clean ones.
"Distributing needles without any reasonable degree of accountability … simply leads to wider abuse of illegal drugs and increased likelihood of death by overdose," he said in a statement, citing anecdotal testimony from public safety officials he had visited throughout the state. He also pointed to a media report from Richmond, Indiana, saying the county prosecutor had documented a fatal overdose involving a needle exchange from the local clinic.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cites research showing that syringe exchanges reduce the amount of needle waste in a community, by providing avenues for safe disposal; in the past, Hill has publicly quarreled with the agency over its research. According to the Indiana State Department of Health, 82% of syringes distributed by the programs have been returned.
Indiana has seen a drop in new HIV diagnoses linked to injection drug use — from 175 in 2015, the year of the outbreak, to 17 three years later. During that period, new hepatitis C cases rose from 7,144 to 7,837, though some syringe exchange officials said they expected those numbers to initially increase as more people got tested.
Needle Exchange Programs Shutting Operations
The syringe exchange in Connersville, where Gabbard used to go, shut down last May after the local hospital where it had moved, Fayette Regional, went bankrupt and closed. But the exchange reopened Jan. 22 at Meridian Health's Connersville clinic. The program aims to serve the same number of people it did before, about 100 a month. Gabbard recalled that the women who operated the exchange not only were the first people in a long time who treated him like a human being, they also put a new idea in his head: You don't have to live like this.
So after his last narcotics-related arrest, in June 2018, he opted for drug court, which allows defendants to get treatment in lieu of jail time. Research has found that IV drug users who go to a syringe exchange are significantly more likely to enter treatment and stop or cut back on shooting narcotics than those who don't.
"Really, the needle exchange was the reason why I even started to think about getting clean," Gabbard said. Now in recovery, he hopes to be a better role model for his 7-year-old son. He has dreams of starting a landscaping business. And he no longer needs a syringe exchange.

Go For The Gold
Views 32.25k
He's now America's Toddfather.
Todd Frazier sparked Team USA to a 4-2 win over Venezuela last Saturday, going 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, two singles and a stolen base, a victory that sends Team USA to the Tokyo Olympics this summer.
Olympic Gold is the goal now.
"It was a blast,'' Frazier told BallNine. "I took it in my hands before the game started because this was my third time around playing for a USA team, you got to get hyped up for this, there is no other way around it. Playing for your country is the coolest thing in the world.''
Frazier is the definition of someone who loves baseball. I caught up with him on Friday on his way out to a Frontier League game in New Jersey with the Sussex County Miners as a way to stay sharp and keep his legs under him until the Olympics, which begin July 28 with Team USA battling Japan, Israel, Mexico, South Korea and one more team that will be added later.

International play is different and here is what it takes to succeed. USA, managed by Mike Scioscia, one of the best in the game, had to find a way and Frazier helped make the secret sauce.
"You have to bring it back to the days when you were young, firing everybody up, we were clapping up before the games because if you are not fired up on pitch one, and all of a sudden it takes you the third inning to get going, you are down 5-0 already because these teams build off energy,'' Frazier told me. "The crowds are raucous.
"When we played Nicaragua for example, they had more fans in the stands than we did, so we were like the underdog again. Their fans are cheering everybody on and they are building off the energy.
"I made sure I brought everybody in the huddle and I said, 'Let's go. I need nine innings. I need three-four hours of your utmost energy because every pitch counts. It was exciting. Especially with the minor league guys moving up the chain here. We kind of showed them as veterans, 'Listen, this is how you need to play every game until you finally retire. Don't take one pitch for granted.' ''
"We are just 26 guys and five or six coaches that are old school that really don't give a crap, if you want the truth. We want to play, that's it'''
In some ways that has been lost today at the major league level and that must change. Energy, talent and fundamentals win games. There is a good mix of veterans and younger players on Team USA like Phillies outfielder Luke Williams, who had a home run in the win over Canada. Mariners minor leaguer Eric Filia blasted a two-run home run to put Team USA on top, 2-1 over Venezuela. Frazier's solo blast to left made it 4-2.
"You can see it already, Luke Williams got called up to the Phillies and hit a walk-off home run,'' Frazier said of the value of this international experience for young players. "We are definitely going to miss him on the USA team for sure. He's an awesome kid, gritty. He reminds me a lot of myself, man. He's a gamer with a little California swag in there.''
That is good news for Phillies fans, who need some good news.
Frazier, who starred at Rutgers, has always had that Jersey Shore swag about him. I've known him since he was 12.
This is 23 years after I first met the Toddfather when he was a kid, the star of the Toms River East American Little League team, a team that captured the hearts of America, shocking the mighty Japan team to win the Little League World Series in 1998 before 41,000 fans and a huge ESPN television audience.
Frazier was in the center of it all and, even getting the final key outs on the mound against Japan.
Now he gets another chance on the international stage. He also played in the 2010 Pan Am Games with another Jersey kid named Mike Trout and the 2006 Collegiate National Team.
Said Scioscia of Frazier, "He's a guy that has kind of cemented the team. He's the keystone.''
With that kind of experience behind him, Frazier knew what to expect and was not shy about letting his teammates know at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, the spring home to one of his former teams the Mets.
Frazier belts one for for Team USA.
Frazier, 35, has 11 years of major league experience, including a short 13-game run with the Pirates this season, but when that came to an end, Frazier simply shifted gears. He went to Plan B and set his sights on Tokyo with Team USA.
One of the things I always liked best about Frazier is his pure love of the game. Todd Frazier left the sandlot many years ago, but the sandlot never left him.
You could say this is his fourth international tournament because that last game against Japan in 1998, Toms River was representing the United States.
"It's come full circle,'' Frazier said with a laugh. "Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have this kind of resume. My numbers aren't where I want them to be, but I do have some impressive numbers.''
Frazier, who has hit 218 home runs in the majors, has gotten the most out of his talents and he is quick to thank his family and believes there is one more major league run in him.
"I think back to when I was younger and my brothers never let me play to my (age bracket),'' Todd said of his older brothers Charlie, 40, and Jeff, 38. "It was always three to four years older than me. I was the guy who was always picked last in the beginning and by the end I was always picked first or second because they knew I was a quick learner, I wasn't afraid of anybody whether we were playing football, basketball or baseball. They drove me to the person I am, and my dad and mom are the same way.''
Frazier has heard from a lot of people about how excited they are for him.
"One of my friends said, 'Isn't it cool that you are going to be an Olympian,' '' Frazier said. "It could be the culmination of my career.' I think that is pretty fitting for me and pretty damn cool to say, 'I'm going to be an Olympian and maybe bring home a medal. I think that would be an awesome way to end my career.''
Then the competitor in Frazier, came back out and said of the majors, "Don't get me wrong, I still want to play.''
He could add vital experience to any team that is trying to win a championship and has made some recent key hitting adjustments to help him succeed in the tournament.
"I had one of my better series in the qualifiers, and now I have another opportunity to play in the Olympics and show I still belong,'' he said.
Team USA played some old school baseball. That is great to hear.
"We don't have any analytics, we really don't have any video, we are using scuffed up baseballs, we're practicing on lumpy fields but it didn't matter,'' Frazier said. "We are just 26 guys and five or six coaches that are old school that really don't give a crap, if you want the truth. We want to play, that's it''
That's more than enough. That's baseball.
Here at BallNine, a lot of baseball people have stepped to the plate recently to say the game is heading down a dangerous path. Frazier has seen a lot of change in MLB since he first arrived with the Reds in 2011 for 41 games. The next season was his rookie season and he batted .273 with an .829 OPS. From 2014-17 Frazier drove in 343 runs.
"In baseball we are losing a lot of people because we are worried about the numbers, the percentages, where to position a guy,'' Frazier explained. "How about a two-strike approach? How about bunting a guy over? How about the Xs and Os of baseball. I think that is the frustrating part right now. We are worried what kind of baseball we need to use, what kind of sticky stuff a pitcher can use. This has been going on for years and all of a sudden this is what we are worried about instead of playing the game of baseball.''
Staying sharp with the Sussex County Miners.
As for Launch Angle, Frazier makes this excellent point.
"Maybe I'm wrong but you can't have the same swing for every pitcher you see and I think that is what's going on right now with a lot of guys and this Launch Angle swing. How you going to hit that ball at the letters unless you are perfectly on time and anyway you are going to be out front (with the Launch Angle).
Pop a Toddfather when you're watching some Olympic Baseball.
"Look at me for example. I was never the prototypical hitter. I looked pretty one out of 20 swings but I got the job done. I wasn't worried how I looked, I throw a bat at a ball and I hit a home run so it's like, we know how to play baseball, we don't need all these gurus and coaches telling us how to swing now. It seems like everybody has a swing coach. It is what it is. Hopefully it changes, but we'll see. All these strikeouts. It's good for pitchers, don't get me wrong but I don't know how good it is for the game.
"Do I think we can change it, yeah, it's a wonderful game,'' Frazier told me. "I love the game but we have to make adjustments and not on percentages and that kind of stuff. Adjustments to bring it back to where we used to be. See the ball hit the ball. Get the guy over, bunt him over. Single the guy to death until the big one comes, that kind of stuff.''
The Cubs' Kris Bryant has ditched his serious Launch Angle and is having a great season.
"That's one prime example,'' Frazier said. "The kid is a great hitter, sometimes you get away from that. It happens. It happened to me. My hands were getting away from my body. So I kept them in a little closer, brought them down a little bit. Hand placement. How about that? No we're worried about swing placement. You got to bring it back old school every once in a while because that's how it started. This is how the game of baseball came about, chopping down on the ball. The old saying, you are chopping on wood. Squish the bug, that kind of stuff.''
Scioscia is a joy to play for as a manager, Frazier said.
"He is a great manager, calm, cool, collected. He made sure we were all right. He had our backs on everything. We got kicked out of a batting cage one time and we said no we are not leaving. We had a couple issues but at the end of the day it was 'When does the game start?' We got 20 swings and we had to get out of there, but we still ended up kicking butt. It goes to show you it is just baseball 101.''
Frazier has always appreciated leadership going back to his days at Toms River South High School and Coach Ken Frank, 74, who last week won his 900th game.
"My old high school coach Kenny Frank, man, he's got 900 wins and he is still booming,'' Frazier said. "I think this is his 42nd year coaching high school baseball and he's been sending me texts every day. It's nice to hear from him.''
Frazier has heard from many of his former teammates, including the Mets' Jacob deGrom, Pete Alonso and J.D. Davis
"Pete, we had a really good friendship he always keeps up with me,'' Frazier said of the slugging first baseman. "I'm wishing him the best – they are having a good season with all the injuries. It's pretty remarkable.''
Frazier's family is a baseball family. His brothers Charlie and Jeff both have baseball academies. Charlie, who was drafted by the Marlins in 1999 and spent six years in the minors, runs Frazier Baseball and Jeff, who made it to the majors with the Tigers in 2010 as an outfielder, has Frazier's Downtown Academy (DTA).
With Father's Day next Sunday this is a special time as well. Frazier would bring his son Blake to the clubhouse while with the Mets.
"I love bringing my oldest son into the major league batting cages and the clubhouses,'' Todd said. "He tells me all the time, he wishes I was playing Major League Baseball so he can say hi to the guys.''
Blake is seven, Grant is two and daughter Kylie is five. With all his baseball travel through the years Todd is quick to credit his wife Jackie.
"She is my backbone,'' Todd said. "She is my No. 1 to deal with three kids for a lot of years, it's remarkable and I wouldn't be here without her.''
Soon the Sumer Olympics will be here.
"Just me playing the game of baseball,'' Frazier said of the journey. "Loving the game and bringing energy every day of the week and I know I can still do it for a couple of years for sure. I know I'm on my last legs, I'm realistic, but I will never change. You can ask everybody that I played with they always say, 'You keep bringing that energy, man. I don't know how you do it all these years.' It's from my roots, man. My dad always taught me the right way. If you can do something, do it to the fullest, if not, move on. And it's not time to move on yet.''
No it's not. It's time for the Olympics.

AEE 2019: Porn Stars on Camming. Kenna James
by Rich Moreland, April 2019
This is the third installment in our porn stars and camming series from the 2019 AVN trade show in Las Vegas.
Four of the top porn performers will discuss their views on camming. Then we will talk to a pair of cam couples who have sex online for their fans.
Here we begin with Kenna James, a popular industry performer known for her friendliness, on-camera warmth and acting ability.
Photos are credited to Kevin Sayers.
Though she's cammed in the past, Kenna James no longer devotes a lot of time to her online endeavors, but that may soon change.
The vivacious blonde explains that when she began her adult career, she "moved from a stripper into the webcam world five days a week, three or four hours a night."
"I loved it," Kenna says. "It was great. I got to stay home, I made money in my bed in whatever I wanted to wear. No more heels, I could sit there in nothing and that's fine.
"But when I started taking off in the industry, my camming schedule got a little less regular. I moved out of a duplex into a forty-foot camper. I didn't have reliable options for internet which is why I no longer regularly cam."
Looks like that may change soon. Kenna's learned she can now get high-speed internet, so she'll be back online eventually.
Depends on What You Show
Is the cam girl a porn girl?
Kenna responds with an immediate "no," then backtracks a little. She says it depends on what a girl does on film versus her online broadcasts.
"If you don't show anything below topless. I wouldn't consider you part of porn.
"If you full on masturbate, I would consider you do a little bit of porn."
Will the cam girl ever become the new porn girl?
"I don't know,' the Missouri native replies. "I don't know what the future of camming holds. Who knows? This is an ever-changing industry and we're all learning to adapt with it."
Running on My Own
Don't cam girls have to wear several hats — performer, director, editor, and marketer?
"It depends on the individual because a lot of porn girls are their own distributor," Kenna says, and mentions that some cam girls use paid service to tweet for them.
"They are their own bosses, I mean, we all are. For instance, I don't have an agent. I haven't had one for two and a half years. I've been running on my own. So, my stuff is all done with me.
Camming is hard work, right?
"It can be. I moved into it from the stripping world and I consider camming much harder than stripping. Stripping's easy because you don't have to talk, you don't have to be smart, you don't have to be entertaining. All you gotta do is give a good dance, giggle, and be naked. That's all they care about.
"Whereas camming, you gotta have a personality. You have to have something about you that draws other people to you and makes them want to stay. That can be a lot more challenging. Thankfully, I've always been a talker, I've always been fun, I've always tried to keep things light. But it was a whole new level for me," Kenna laughs.
She points out that a cam girl has to "own" who she is.
"I've been on my cams not at my best. One hundred percent truth. I'm a complete mess sometimes and my fans will tell me. But I own it. What it comes down to is how comfortable are you with you, in your skin, in your surroundings. And how much of you are you willing to let out there.
"Think of it as the most candid, ad-libbed thing you've ever done. It's reality that can't be edited," the Las Vegas resident concludes.
Always be You
If a girl wants to cam as an intro into porn, Kenna has a warning.
"My advice is always be you," she says. Avoid trying to be what you're not. You don't have to pretend or act unnaturally and remember not everyone's going to love you.
"Don't get caught up in all the negativity, 'cause there's a lot of it," she cautions.
"There's negativity everywhere and this industry especially. People [will] come down hard on you. So, it can be a really difficult."
Within the industry?
Both within and without, she says, but offers an encouraging thought.
"The industry as a whole is getting better. It's not so competitive. We're banning together a little bit better. It makes us stronger, so just don't sweat the small stuff."
Are porn girls more empowered than they were twenty years ago?
"Oh yeah. I definitely think so. I've met a lot of girls that have come from camming into the industry," Kenna says, and praises their self-awareness.
"I like the girls who have found their personality. They're like, 'This is me. Let's do it. This is who I am.' This is a new thing and it brings on a whole new feel to everything as well."
Finally, I ask Kenna about the traditional three-legged stool of porn — shooting scenes, dancing, and escorting. Is camming now the fourth leg?
"I think so. We can definitely call camming the fourth leg."
With her ever-present smile, Kenna James adds with a gleam in her eye, "I'm a three-legger. I don't escort. But I dance, shoot scenes and cam."

Installation
------------

This program requires Python 2.7 and the `pygame` and `shapely` libraries.

On a Mac using MacPorts you can install these as follows:

    sudo port install python27
    sudo port install py27-game
    sudo port install py27-shapely
    sudo port select --set python python27

Once you have these installed you can launch the program (located under
`bin/aagen`)

Use
---

If you run the program with no parameters, it will generate a new random
dungeon. There are also some "starting regions" in the maps directory; if you
would like to use one of these instead of starting with a blank slate, launch
aagen with the `-f` option:

    aagen -f maps/starting_area_1.aamap

As aagen runs, on the console you will see various informational and debug messages.
To see more messages you can add the `-v` option (or `-vv`, `-vvv` for even more).
One of the first messages output to the console will report the "seed" that was
used to generate this dungeon:

    Random seed is 1201576528

If you want to recreate the same dungeon again, you can launch the program with
`aagen -s <seed number>` and the exact same dungeon will be generated as
before (barring any changes to the dungeon generation algorithms, of course!).

**This is key when reporting bugs - please provide the seed number under which
the bug was encountered so as to make it very easy to recreate the issue!**

Click on any part of the map to print information about the clicked region to the console.

Press `SPACE` to iterate another step of the dungeon generator, constructing a
new room or passage and adding it to the map. If the map dead-ends completely
with no possibilities for adding new regions, pressing `SPACE` will cause a new
map to be created.

Press `w` to write the current map state to disk as `current.aamap`.

Press `l` to load `current.aamap`, replacing the current map state.

Press `v` to increase the debug verbosity and `q` to decrease it.

Press `ESC` or close the map window to quit the program.

If an error occurs, the error will be reported on your console and the program
will "freeze", continuing to display the current state of the map but refusing
to generate any more map content. This is intentional, allowing you to take
screenshots and capture console logs for debugging. Once you've gathered
whatever information you need, press `ESC` once to quit the program.

What do Daylight Savings Time and James Bond have in common?
More than you may realize.
If you've spent any time watching movies since 1960, you know that Germans are a favorite pick for villains in popular movie plots. This runs the gamut from Indiana Jones I&III to various Super Hero franchises like Wonder Woman and Captain America to spy thrillers like James Bond- which has featured at least 10 actual German actors as 007's antagonists. Even cartoon villains often speak with a German accent!
Enter Daylight Savings Time (DST) and- drumroll- you have yet again a villain that originated in Germany. DST was first introduced by the German Empire during World War I as a means to save resources during the war effort.
The switch to winter time is almost upon us and I bet most of us- me included- used to somewhat celebrate gaining the extra hour before we had kids. Opposite to the time switch in spring where we loose an hour and have to get up extra early, the extra hour in fall always seemed like a win. Fast forward to life with kids, and the time switch in fall is yet another not so subtle reminder that things aren't quite the same anymore. Parents know that babies don't read the clock and that their young kids don't care that they could sleep an hour longer on November 4th. As a parent, you're bracing yourself for what will then be an extra early wake up with the resulting mess that the unfolding day will be. Below are two options on how to handle and soften the blow that DST might otherwise bring to your sleep.
While these suggestions won't do away with DST, they do offer a game plan. And isn't having a strategy half the battle in dealing with a villain?
If you get started tomorrow, November 4th will be Day 8, so the "old" 7am is the new 6am. You can go more gradually of course, like in 10min increments, and continue on until you have completed the 1 hour shift from the old summertime to the new wintertime.
Sleep may be a little more disrupted during this transition time, and this may predict how fast you want to go. The key is to keep working towards the adjusted goal time and not go back in time, even if that means staying with an increment for one or two days longer. Make sure that naps end on time, so that they don't bleed into wake time as that will make it harder for him to adjust. Expose your child to bright light during the day as this will help him adjust to the new time.
Make the shift in one fell swoop, do everything according to the actual clock time. This approach works well with kids that are non sensitive sleepers and older kids that have their schedules determined by school and other regular activities. Your child will still wake early on the morning of November 4th, but she can contently play through the extra hour she is spending in her crib that day or be convince to keep it low until everybody gets up. If she is still napping, you can make getting to the naps easier by offering an extra long calm time before laying her down. Make sure that naps end on time, so that they don't bleed into wake time as that will make it harder for her to adjust. Expose your child to bright light during the day as this will help her adjust to the new time.
This option will only be feasible if you and/or your child don't have to conform to set outside schedules. It is a valid option though, and probably most applicable if your child naturally wakes up closer to 7am. If this is the route you plan on going, you may still see an adjustment over time – depending on where you live- based on the light and activity levels that automatically change with shorter days in winter and then again lengthening days after winter solstice.
Before becoming a parent, did you ever wonder how something as mundane as DST could involve so much thinking? Good luck with the time change and stay rested- oh, and I'd love to read your thoughts on this!

Planned Parenthood is helping to free El Salvador women who stabbed and strangled newborns
By Nancy Flanders | August 5, 2020 , 10:51am
Pro-abortion organizations in El Salvador are working overtime to free women convicted of brutally killing their newborn babies, despite photographic evidence and witness testimony against them. Helping to fund the efforts to free these women, Planned Parenthood stands to benefit financially should public pressure lead to a liberalizing of the country's abortion laws.
WARNING: Disturbing evidentiary photos below.
Abortion is illegal in El Salvador, but pro-abortion organizations such as Colectiva Feminista want to see abortion decriminalized and taken to lying about horrific cases of infanticide to justify a false "need" for abortion in the pro-life nation. Even American celebrities and politicians have played a part in the manipulation, aided by pro-abortion media. Pro-abortion attorneys argue that if abortion were legal, these women would not be in jail for the deaths of their children.
Colectiva Feminista claims that women have been wrongfully convicted of undergoing illegal abortions after suffering from miscarriages and stillbirths, but these women, known as Las17+, have been convicted of strangling and stabbing their living newborns, with some babies found to have been dumped in septic tanks. One was still alive when he was discovered.
The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has thrown financial support behind the efforts to free these women because it sees an opportunity to make money if abortion is legalized in El Salvador.
In just three years (2014, 2015, 2016), IPPF gave over $115,000 to Colectiva Feminista—also known as Colectiva De Mujeres Para El Desarrollo (The Feminist Collective for Local Development), which is actively working to free Las17+ and use their cases to push for legalized abortion, despite their babies being killed after birth—and the IPPF Safe Abortion Action Fund granted the pro-abortion group $150,000 in 2015. That grant was reportedly specifically for a project aimed at legalizing abortion in El Salvador led by Colectiva Feminista and pro-abortion group Agrupaciton Ciudadana (Citizen Association for the Decriminalization of Abortion El Salvador).
2014 IPPF Financial Statement.
2016 IPPF Financial Statement. Numbers in thousands.
After an article in La Presna Gráfica exposed this, the people of El Salvador were outraged. Only two percent of El Salvadorans believe abortion to be morally acceptable. The country is so pro-life that even major media outlets condemned Colectiva Feminista and Agrupaciton Ciudadana and their efforts to legalize abortion. As a result, the groups released a co-statement about their project, claiming it was about reducing the incidents of wrongful convictions of abortion in cases of miscarriage:
The project has an objective: 'to contribute to the reduction… of the criminalization… related to the lack of legal access to abortion, through legislative changes and the adoption of protocols in cases of abortion or obstetric complications that cause the death of the fetus.'
Again, miscarriages and obstetric complications are not the reasons that these women are imprisoned.
Legalizing abortion would not have saved these babies from the brutal deaths they endured. These women killed their babies after birth—similar to what convicted-murderer and abortionist Kermit Gosnell did to countless babies who survived abortions in his facility in Philadelphia. He snipped babies' spinal cords with scissors. Las 17+ stabbed their newborns and strangled them with apron strings.
WATCH: 'The Billionaires Behind Abortion' exposes 'ultra-wealthy' funders of global population control
There are additional connections between Planned Parenthood and the push for legalized abortion in El Salvador. The Wallace Global Fund is connected to Planned Parenthood and gave $15,000 to the Citizen Association for the Decriminalization of Abortion El Salvador in 2013. The Ford Foundation, which added former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards to its board, has also donated money to the push for abortion in El Salvador. The Ford Foundation is one of the top funders of the abortion pill worldwide.
The money IPPF gave to the groups helping to defend Las17+ is a drop in the bucket compared to what IPPF stands to financially gain. Asociación Demográfica Salvadoreña is "the largest sexual and reproductive health care provider in El Salvador" and is a private affiliate of IPPF. It focuses on working to ensure the "poor, marginalized, vulnerable and under-served" women of El Salvador do not reproduce, just as Planned Parenthood works to do in the United States and throughout the world. If abortion is legalized in El Salvador, IPPF would then be able to sell abortion through this private affiliate and any other affiliate businesses in the nation.
Planned Parenthood is helping those convicted of killing living newborns, demanding them to be set free in the name of legalized abortion in a country that does not want legalized abortion. Why? So it can continue its eugenic legacy while raking in profits.

Ariana Grande's New Song is Breaking Records Left and Right
Olivia LaRosa
Filed under A&E
You always hear about celebrities subtweeting their exes and throwing shade at them on talk shows or in interviews but Ariana Grande's new song, "Thank U, Next" is a whole new level. Her new single starts with a verse where she calls out every ex she has had and either thanks them for something they have taught her whether it be love, patience or another lesson or simply laughs at the relationship she once had with them. The exes she mentions are Sean Anderson (aka Big Sean), Ricky Alvarez, Pete Davidson, and Malcolm McCormick (aka Mac Miller). From the start, it is apparent she is only really showing thanks to McCormick and Davidson.
After dating McCormick for almost two and a half years, they decided to split due to his issues with drugs. Whether or not Grande regrets that is unknown. Following that breakup, she quickly became engaged to Pete Davidson.That relationship ended rather abruptly after the devastating news of McCormick's death, on September 7. Grande released the song and the internet is currently going crazy about why she did it and everyone is on the edge of their seats to see the reactions of the people she mentions in it.
The song has been a hit though earning numerous records on Spotify like having surpassed 100 million streams in 11 days. She also has set the global and US Spotify record for the biggest single day for a female artist which is quite the achievement.
Many people love the song and find it empowering. Senior Sam Donovan says, "she enjoys the song and feels like it is one of Ariana's better hits." Others like senior, Abby Andrusis, were skeptical at first saying, "I didn't like the song at first because I wasn't the biggest fan, but once I saw it on social media and listened to it more, the more I liked it and the catchier it was." Grande was aware the song could be a hit or miss because one of the lyrics in her song literally is "God forbid something happens, at least this song is a smash." The song truly is a smash and a bop for sure.
Hopefully, after all the success the song has had, Ariana Grande will make a music video for it. Her fans are curious to see how that would turn out. The release of the song "Thank U, Next" has turned out to be an iconic moment in 2018.

Lieberman backs up comments on Russia elections
By HERB KEINON
The recent Russian elections do reflect the political reality in that country, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Monday, backing up controversial statements he made last week in Moscow saying the elections were legitimate.
"The results reflect the mood of the country," Lieberman said at a press conference, adding that he is not saying there were not local problems in certain individual ballots, but that there are "problems in elections" everywhere.Lieberman, who met with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin last week, said that he was worried about the alternatives to Putin, namely the communists. Part of those taking part in the demonstrations against Putin "are not our friends," Lieberman said.
Regarding the fact that with his comments about the elections contradicted the US position, Lieberman said there were a number of disagreements with the US Administration, from sanctions on Iran to building in the settlements, and this was another such disagreement. No two countries agree on everything, he said.

Does federal government law prohibit a minister from talking about political issues from the pulpit? A primer
Does federal government law prohibit a minister from talking about political issues from the pulpit? A primer By Jack Kettler
Does a minister have the freedom to address political issues from the pulpit? Assuming yes, should he do this? Should a minister endorse a political candidate? Should the state through its agencies have the right to say what a church may or may not say? What is the principal focus of the pulpit ministry? What is a political issue? Is it different from a biblical issue? It is the intent of this primer that the reader will come away with answers to these questions.
Some history of churches and politics in America:
Last century Congress modified the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Code § 501(c) (3) to restrict the speech of non-profit, tax-exempt organizations, which included churches in 1954. This legislation became the Johnson amendment for Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, who introduced it in July of 1954.
Before the Johnson amendment, there were no restrictions placed on churches by the government. The main stipulation in the amendment was that churches were not to endorse or oppose candidates for public office. The Johnson amendment does not prohibit church involvement in voter registration and even political debate forums among various candidates.
However, after the Johnson amendment became law, churches now had to limit the time discussing political issues and candidates for public office. Spending too much time could put at risk the church's tax exemption status. Remaining silent would protect their tax exemption. Silence is not necessarily golden. Forfeiting the 501 (c) (3) status is a possible strategy for the continuing of political discussions and debate in the pulpits without fear of the IRS agents coming for a visit.
This primer does not believe the Johnson amendment is justified. This amendment in the hands of unscrupulous men can be used against Christ's Church. At the same time, the amendment is not the end of the world issue for churches.
The crux of the matter, how is a political issue defined?
The term "political issue" can refer to things such as abortion, taxation, government welfare spending, public or private or homeschooling, sexual perversion, and immigration policies regarding foreign trade issues to name a few.
Can a political issue be a biblical issue? The student of Scripture will immediately recognize that the issues mentioned earlier are spoken of in the Bible. It can be argued that there are only biblical or moral issues. Because of the supremacy of the Bible in defining right and wrong, the Johnson amendment can be viewed as a trickster ploy, forcing an artificial redefinition of terms in order to silence and limit debate. The state cannot restrict how much time a church devotes to biblical or moral issues.
In 1Kings, we learn of Ahab as the seventh king over Israel and as a man who did more evil in the sight of Yahweh than any king who lived before him. Ahab engaged in politics, which were, at the same time, moral or biblical issues. Under the Johnson amendment, would Elijah have been able to rebuke Ahab and call for removal from office? Could Elijah have endorsed another candidate for office?
In 1Samuel 16, Samuel anoints David to be king. The anointing of a king is even stronger than endorsing a candidate. Would the IRS have moved against Samuel for violating the Johnson amendment? Biblically speaking, the IRS has no authority to determine what may be said in churches. The IRS is a tax collection agency, not speech monitoring agency, or is it. Will it next become a thought control agency?
Have ministers lost their freedoms? Can a minister speak against political, moral corruption in light of the Johnson amendment? Is this a quandary for ministers?
The so-called political issues listed above are, in fact, biblical issues; they are the same. The minister of God has the moral high ground. We can expose the Johnson amendment canard for what it is; it is a bald face attempt to switch definitions and silence the ministers of God in the pulpit.
The real quandary is for representatives from the IRS and their attempts to enforce the Johnson amendment:
What qualification does a representative from the IRS have to talk about biblical issues? Do they have biblical training in the science of exegesis? Since Congress created the IRS, constitutional restrictions apply to them also.
Representatives from the fed gov will not acknowledge this line of reasoning regarding them, and biblical qualifications to necessary distinguish biblical issues. No, not any more than an atheist will concede that his worldview cannot account for or justify the use of science, logic, and ethics.
The conflict between the Johnson amendment and the First Amendment:
Question: Does the Johnson amendment overturn or restrict rights that come from God enumerated in the First Amendment?
Answer: Yes, it does. Precisely, it does by violating "…make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech…"
Consider an example of the absurdity of so-called political issues and the Johnson amendment:
Which came first, the Scriptures or the "Johnny come lately," Johnson amendment?
Consider the life issue in Scripture:
Just as the Scripture says, the babe in the womb is a baby:
"And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe [βρέφος] leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe [βρέφος] in my womb leaped for joy." (Luke1:41-44)
Strong's Lexicon:
βρέφος (brephos)
Noun – Nominative Neuter Singular
Strong's Greek 1025: an unborn or a newborn child
God knows the distinct personalities of the unborn:
"The children struggled together within her, and she said, if it is thus, why is this happening to me? So she went to inquire of the LORD. And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger. When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau's heel, so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them." (Genesis 25:22-26)
The death penalty is required for the killing of an unborn baby:
"If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined…. But if there is a serious injury, you are to take life for life…." (Exodus 21:22, 23)
These above passages are relevant to the modern day pro-life pro-death battle. Is the pro-life and the death-loving abortionists' battle political? Alternatively, is the battle one of religious apostasy versus faithfulness to the teachings of Scripture? It may be political; however, it is first, Biblical!
When the above passages on babes in the womb were written, the land of North America was a harsh wilderness. The IRS was nowhere to be found.
This primer is not advocating the pulpit on Sunday to become a forum to expound the politics of the day. In addition, the previous statement should not be understood as to deny the Church of Christ through its various ministries the right to speak the truth with complete freedom.
Things put in perspective for activist hot heads:
What is the principal role of the pulpit ministry?
The church is to remain faithful to its primary mandate of Scriptural teaching and preaching and evangelism:
First, what type of preaching or teaching is best in the pulpit to support worship? Traditionally, in many Reformed Churches, there is catechetical and expository preaching.
Catechetical preaching uses a catechism such as the Heidelberg to organize the weekly sermons. Since the Heidelberg, catechism encompasses all of the essential doctrines of the faith. In time, the congregation will be well schooled in the Scriptures or the whole counsel of God.
Expository preaching starts with a passage of Scripture, and then it considers the grammar, the context, and the historical setting of that passage. This method is called the grammatical-historical method. Expository preaching usually comes, from a book-by-book, verse-by-verse exposition. Similarly, the book-by-book, verse-by-verse preaching, will in time teach the congregation the whole counsel of God.
These two methods may seem to limit the pulpit preaching when a biblical topic such as perverse sexuality is a hot button issue in an upcoming election. The church has many options to address issues outside of the pulpit.
Both the catechetical and expository methods cover the entire scope of the Scriptures or the whole of Scripture. When the Bible talks about sexuality, the preacher will preach on the topic. For example, the pastor is teaching on Romans 1:26-27, the issue of homosexuality will be covered.
Consider several ways to solve the problem created by the Johnson amendment and the need to address an issue biblically and expediently.
First, the church could declare the Johnson amendment null and void and an ungodly attempt to silence the churches' moral authority. We should obey God rather than a man.
Second, the following are ideas for a biblical course action living within the reality of the Johnson amendment:
First, during Sunday school classes, topics can be covered in a more timely fashion that may be relevant to an immediate pressing biblical issue, like a pro-life march or collecting signatures for ballot initiatives. At a church announcement time, a verbal or printed handout can identify times and locations where important moral issues will be discussed along with plans of action.
Second, pastoral and congregational prayers can be used to petition the God of Heaven for relief from ungodly laws and political tyrants. Pastoral prayers necessarily involve praying for political leaders. These prayers in extreme circumstances could even be imprecatory.
Third, today, ministers can write books, write blogs, send e-mails, and give radio and television interviews on biblical issues. The Bible settles the debate on Scriptural issues, not fed gov representatives.
Forth, the Puritans in New England had Election Day sermons. An Election Day sermon was not on Sunday, but before voting. It could be in the morning, the day of the election or night before. The Election Day sermon was not a Lord's Day sermon. It is therefore not a violation of the regulative principle of worship. A meeting like this could be handled by a ruling elder or someone appointed by the session of the local church. It could be at the church or a separate location. A separate location has the advantage of attracting more people.
The Puritans utilized a covenantal understanding of Scripture that taught the civil government is founded on an agreement between God and the people. Civil magistrates swore an oath of office similar to a minister's ordination vows. Both the clergy and magistrates are ministers of God. The elected leaders were obliged to follow God's laws from which the laws in a Godly society were built.
Blackstone expresses this Puritan understanding of government well:
"The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found only in the holy scriptures…[and] are found upon comparison to be part of the original law of nature. Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these." – Sir William Blackstone
As long as the civil leaders were faithful to their swearing into a public oath of office to keep God's laws, the people were to obey. If the leaders acted contrary to the terms of the oath of office, the people were to resist. Unfortunately, this concept of resistance is somewhat of a novel today.
"For earthly princes lay aside their power when they rise up against God, and are unworthy to be reckoned among the number of mankind. We ought, rather, to spit upon their heads than to obey them." – John Calvin (Commentary on Daniel, Lecture XXX Daniel 6:22)
"Resistance to Tyrants is Obedience to God." – John Knox
Churches that teach the whole counsel of God will have a biblically educated membership. The biblically educated church members will go into the market place of ideas and press the biblical claims of truth. The members of the church can go as citizens into the political realm and press the claims of Christ where it may be prudent for the clergy to remain invisible.
The Priesthood of All Believers authorizes the individual church member to be representatives of Christ in society. The Priesthood of All Believers is the genius of Protestantism. Now we have a biblically educated spiritual army, rather than the limitations of the professional clergy. Limitations should be understood as numerical.
Is refusing the 501(c) (3) status, a solution allowing the church the freedom to endorse political candidates? Yes. Although theoretically, this may not satisfy a radical secular state.
If a church does choose disincorporation, it does not free the church from other biblical considerations relevant to the church and state relations.
The Church is Not Politics. The Church is the Church and is separate from the state. Even in the Old Testament, in Israel, there was a sharp distinction between the priesthood and kingship.
Practical reasons for a church not to endorse political candidates:
There is a danger for a church to engage in certain activities, such as endorsing political candidates. It has been a great temptation for churches to endorse political candidates throughout the ages. The church like everyone wants stability and security. Gaining the favor of politicians may seem like a reasonable course of action. A political endorsement is one way to gain favor. However, one of the dangers is that since churches cannot predict the future actions of political candidates, it is unwise for a church to place Christ's stamp of approval on a political candidate who may in the future commit evil acts. An endorsement of a candidate who becomes evil will bring reproach upon Christ.
Theological reasons the church why should not endorse candidates for office:
Centuries before the Johnson amendment, the question concerning Christ's Church endorsing political candidates has always been a theological issue. Many Reformed and Presbyterian churches have held to the position known as "sphere sovereignty." Abraham Kuyper, the Dutch theologian, and Prime minister, formally developed this position.
Kuyper summarized sphere sovereignty as follows:
"In order that the influence of Calvinism on our political development may be felt, it must be shown for what fundamental political conceptions Calvinism has opened the door, and how these political conceptions sprang from its root principle. This dominating principle was not, soteriologically, justification by faith, but, in the widest sense cosmologically, the Sovereignty of the Triune God over the whole Cosmos, in all its spheres and kingdoms, visible and invisible. A primordial Sovereignty which eradiates in mankind in a threefold deduced supremacy, viz., 1. The Sovereignty in the State; The Sovereignty in Society; The Sovereignty in the Church." (1)
In addition to the God-ordained sovereignty of the threefold spheres, the confessional standards bind elders in Presbyterian Churches. For example, the Westminster Confession of Faith in section 31:5 reads:
"Synods and councils are to handle or conclude nothing but that which is ecclesiastical; and are not to intermeddle with civil affairs, which concern the commonwealth, unless by way of humble petition, in cases extraordinary; or by way of advice for satisfaction of conscience, if they be thereunto required by the civil magistrate."
As seen in the above quotation from the Westminster Confession, the confession itself restricts the political activity of churches at the synod level. This section of the confession reflects the doctrine of "sphere sovereignty."
Additional reasons for limiting the mingling with the state at the local congregation level:
Blurring the distinction between church and state is not wise. Consider the historical dispute between Protestants and Roman Catholics regarding the state. For those familiar with church history, it will be apparent that we have a far better situation than our forefathers. If independent churches and Protestants begin endorsing political candidates, will the Roman Catholics follow our lead?
The dangers of this:
The Roman Catholic Church in the past controlled political rulers. Tens of thousands of Protestants paid with their lives. In Colorado, for example, there are over four hundred thousand Roman Catholics. There are probably no more than two thousand people of Reformed convictions in the state. It is not difficult to figure out who will dominate politically. Large blocks of Roman Catholic following the decrees of Marxist utopian Pope is not a good political situation.
The fruit and the power of the pulpit ministry in Reformed Churches:
This may be why John Calvin has been called:
"The virtual founder of America." In addition, "He who will not honor the memory and respect the influence of Calvin knows but little of the origin of American liberty." – Harvard professor and historian George Bancroft.
John Adams, America's second president, agreed and declared: "Let not Geneva be forgotten or despised. Religious liberty in the West owes Calvin much respect."
"Calvinists are the true heroes of England. They founded England, in spite of the corruption of the Stuarts, by the exercise of duty, by the practice of justice, by obstinate toil, by vindication of right, by resistance to oppression, by the conquest of liberty, by the repression of vice. They founded Scotland; they founded the United States; at this day they are, by their descendants, founding Australia and colonizing the world." – French atheist Hippolyte Taine (1828 to 1893)
"Calvinism has been the chief source of republican government." – Lorraine Boettner
Consider Gordon H. Clark, a Presbyterian philosopher, and theologian's essay on the role of civil magistrates:
"Where the Roman church controls the government, Protestants suffer oppression and physical persecution. Their churches are bombed and their ministers are murdered . . . . In our own land the Romanists are constantly attempting to divert public funds to their own purposes. A while back they were advocating an ambassador to the Vatican, and will probably push it again when they see an opportunity . . . . And bills have been introduced into Congress to honor the Virgin Mary by issuing commemorative stamps for the Marian year. Unfortunately, there are also Protestants who want a close tie-in of church and state." (2)
At the current time, many Roman Catholics and Protestants work together on issues such as pro-life. Cooperation like this is a good thing. This cooperative arrangement is far better than reverting to radical sectarianism.
In conclusion, the above explication of ideas shows how the pulpit ministry can remain faithful in the duty of teaching the whole counsel of God and practical solutions for addressing the biblical issues of the day. The Church of God should never give up ground to pagan government representatives advancing the canard of redefining biblical issues into only so-called political issues.
Does a minister have the freedom to address political issues from the pulpit? Yes
Should he do this? He may, but this depends upon other factors like not interfering with teaching the whole counsel of God. If unrestrained political activity is the norm, will the church be the church or an appendage of a political party or its own party?
Should a minister endorse a political candidate from the pulpit? Generally, no. Possibly yes, during extreme circumstances. As an individual citizen, ministers can endorse candidates.
What is the principal function of the pulpit ministry? It consists of teaching the whole counsel of God.
What is a political issue? A political issue can refer to things such as abortion, taxation, government welfare spending, public or private schooling, sexual perversion, and immigration policies regarding foreign trade issues, to name a few.
Is it different from a biblical issue? Yes and no. First, yes, Soteriology, eschatology, and studies in redemptive history would not be political issues. Second, no, the issues of abortion, taxation, etc. are biblical and not fundamentally different from many political issues.
Regarding the IRS and the Johnson amendment:
The state should allow the church to speak the truth, to all issues instead of silencing what a church may or may not say.
No agency of the state has the right to bind the church on speaking to the moral issues of the day.
Therefore, Congress should formally repeal the Johnson amendment.
The minister should follow the apostle Paul:
"For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God." (Acts 20:27)
"Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." (Matthew 10:16)
"To God, only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen." (Romans 16:27) and "heirs according to the promise." (Galatians 3:28, 29)

Thus, the disk functions enjoy this: Think of keeping a weights along with massive body weights connected over your scalp. What occurs? The whole entire disk presses, sheds elevation as well as broadens like an auto tire gone flat. Currently, placed the weights down. As you bend over, prolong, turn or even bend, thus perform the elastic annular fibers outside of the disk. Concurrently, the core work schedules within the jelly element to the contrary edge you are actually bending. Thus, if you sideways bend over to the right, the center moves to the left.
What is actually a herniated or even slid disk? Knowing what it is actually demands expertise of the composition of a lustrous disk as well as what modifications develop when it herniates. Initially, the within the disk is actually comprised of a gelatinous material contacted mucoploysaccharide. Inside the jelly material is actually a challenging core (core polpusus) that imitates a ball-bearing. Outside of the disk is actually a crisscrossed design of elastic bands knowned as annular fibers. The crisscrossing annular bands provide the disk toughness as well as versatility and also the center revolves within the boundaries of the jelly drug together along with lower back pain treatment activity. The outcome is actually a divinely passionate layout and also the excellent pivot in between 2 vertebras. The 2 vertebras along with the disk between are actually the general elements of a back junction.
Along with an understanding of disk composition, our team'll discuss the bone tissues encompassing the disk. Along with both vertebras, there favors a disk club sandwich: The vertebras resemble the breadstuff as well as the disk feels like the pork in between. Today it is actually opportunity to include some necessary bone tissues to the spine (after part) of the spine junction. For our objectives, the absolute most notable of these bone tissues are actually the pedicle bands given that they develop a position for the spine. With this position, the spine takes a trip via the back junction. Obviously, along with a junction of any sort of kind there is actually action. Therefore, our company can easily incorporate bony (synovial, lubricating) articulations coming from one vertebra to yet another permitting action in several instructions. Very most notably, these expressions create openings (nerve organs foramina) where nerves origins, going over the spine, go out the shared and also control whatever cells they energize.
Prior to going over additional plantar fasciitis exercises it will be actually critical to obtain necessary details regarding this disorder. In meaning, a severe excruciating feet disorder that takes place because of tearing as well as swelling of the lengthy, standard tendon situated in all-time low of the feet. The seriousness of the health condition differs along with the absolute most significant scenarios leading to tears within this tendon called the plantar structures generally happens due to continuous tension and also power administered, creating the structures to shed accessory on the heel.
People that have actually experienced experiencing the intense ache related to plantar fasciitis have actually most likely taken advantage of workouts as component of plantar fasciitis procedure program. This normally includes both extending as well as reinforcing workouts. People enduring recognize for sure that the ailment is actually denoted through minimized versatility within the shared place alonged with the rigidity of the Achilles ligament. This is actually the main reason why very most flexing workouts are actually routed to boost the versatility of this particular section of the feets.
1. Towel extent is actually conducted making use of a towel knotted around the wounded shoe. This need to be actually performed on a resting placement along with lower legs directly. Containing the towel knotting the impacted feet while keeping upright physical body while settled delicately draw the towel in the direction of you. Secure for twenty secs, unwind as well as respond to a typical setting. Loyal the pattern 10 opportunities.
2. Toe Extent is actually performed on a resting setting along with legs angled. Carefully take the feet back on the harmed feet up until you experience a moderate extent all over the arc of the feet. Keep after that regular twenty opportunities.
3. Calf/Achilles Extent is actually carried out in a status status. Image the wall structure along with your palms positioned upper body high up on the wall structure. Along with the shoe level on the flooring, relocate the wounded heel relocate the wounded heel back as you relocate the various other lower leg onward little by little favoring the wall structure till you really feel a mild extent along the calf bone region. Keep for 10 few seconds, loosen up after that transfer to the first posture. Regular the treatment twenty opportunities.
Straightforward physical exercises like stretching your feet back and forth just before you stick out of your bedroom in the early morning support in boosting your plantar fasciitis treatment massage and also can easily likewise act as a basic physical exercise. Straightforward procedures work in eliminating the discomfort connected with this problem. It will certainly additionally be actually useful that you use ice on your heel after doing any type of high-intensity physical exercises to help in reducing the ache and also irritation.
Besides eliminating the ache, they are actually administered to stop the occurrence of squashing as well as pronation of the feet during the course of strolling or even jogging. Pronation is actually the condition where the feet usually tends to spin or even crinkle internal throughout feet actions. It additionally makes certain that the plantar structures can easily avoid feasible trauma and also irritation due to the fact that they have actually ended up extra pliable due to the overview of these workouts. It likewise helps in the fortifying of the feet as well as ankle joint muscular tissues. This is actually vital since these muscular tissues are in charge of assisting the arc of the feet.

T.A. Breen
T.A. Breen (°1980, Chicago, United States) makes paintings and media art. By applying a poetic and often metaphorical language, Breen wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator by creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil poetic images that leave traces and balances on the edge of recognition and alienation.
Her paintings directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. By investigating language on a meta-level, she tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way, likes to involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes physical and believes in the idea of function following form in a work.
Her works focus on the inability of communication which is used to visualise reality, the attempt of dialogue, the dissonance between form and content and the dysfunctions of language. In short, the lack of clear references are key elements in the work. With a conceptual approach, she tries to grasp language. Transformed into art, language becomes an ornament. At that moment, lots of ambiguities and indistinctnesses, which are inherent to the phenomenon, come to the surface.
Her works appear as dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, meanings shift, past and present fuse. Time and memory always play a key role.

This post is about using NLog in ASP.NET Core. NLog is a free logging platform for .NET, Xamarin, Silverlight and Windows Phone with rich log routing and management capabilities. NLog makes it easy to produce and manage high-quality logs for your application regardless of its size or complexity.

To use NLog in ASP.NET Core, first you need to add the NLog package in the project.json file. I am using ASP.NET Core 1.1 version, in the project.json you can add NLog package in the dependencies section. You need to use the `"NLog.Extensions.Logging": "1.0.0-rtm-alpha5"` package. Once you added the package, you can restore the packages to use NLog in your code. Next you need the configuration file, which is required by NLog, it helps to configure NLog logging options.

{% highlight Xml %}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      autoReload="true"
      internalLogLevel="Warn"
      internalLogFile="c:\temp\internal.txt">

  <!-- define various log targets -->
  <targets>
    <!-- write logs to file -->
    <target xsi:type="File" name="allfile" fileName="c:\temp\nlog-all-${shortdate}.log"
                 layout="${longdate}|${logger}|${uppercase:${level}}|${message} ${exception}" />

    <target xsi:type="File" name="ownFile" fileName="c:\temp\nlog-own-${shortdate}.log"
              layout="${longdate}|${logger}|${uppercase:${level}}|${message} ${exception}" />

    <target xsi:type="Null" name="blackhole" />
  </targets>

  <rules>
    <!--All logs, including from Microsoft-->
    <logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="allfile" />

    <!--Skip Microsoft logs and so log only own logs-->
    <logger name="Microsoft.*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="blackhole" final="true" />
    <logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="ownFile" />
  </rules>
</nlog>
{% endhighlight %}

It is a typical nlog.config file, which need to be placed in the web project root folder, not in the wwwroot. You can find config file in the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/NLog/NLog.Extensions.Logging/blob/master/examples/aspnet-core-example/src/aspnet-core-example/nlog.config) as well.

Now you need to modify your startup class configure method to enable NLog and add the configuration options.

{% highlight CSharp %}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
    loggerFactory.AddNLog();
    env.ConfigureNLog("nlog.config");
    app.UseMvc(routes =>
    {
        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "default",
            template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
    });
}
{% endhighlight %}

It is done. Now if you go and check `C:\Temp` folder, you can see the log file.

If you want to enable logging in controllers, you can either inject the ILogger using ASP.NET Core DI mechanism, or you can use NLog's `LogManager` class.

#### Logging with ASP.NET Core DI.

{% highlight CSharp %}
private readonly ILogger<HomeController> _logger;
public HomeController(ILogger<HomeController> logger)
{
    _logger = logger;
}

public IActionResult Index()
{
    _logger.LogInformation("Index Page invoked");
    return View();
}
{% endhighlight %}

#### Logging with NLog's LogManager class.

{% highlight CSharp %}
private static Logger _logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
public IActionResult Index()
{
    _logger.Info("Index Page invoked");
    return View();
}
{% endhighlight %}

If you are using ASP.NET Core DI mechanism, it will create a new log file, but if you are using NLog own mechanism it will log on the same file. Make sure you're including the NLog.config file in the publishOptions, include section.

{% highlight Javascript %}
"publishOptions": {
    "include": [
        "wwwroot",
        "Views",
        "appsettings.json",
        "web.config",
        "nlog.config"
    ]
},
{% endhighlight %}

Happy Programming :)


The third annual South Carolina Run for the Fallen is a reflection of remembrance. Teams of volunteer runners complete segments of a 120-mile run to honor every South Carolina service member who has died since September 11, 2001. The event will culminate in a 5K memorial run through downtown Columbia ending at the State House for a short ceremony. Each mile of the run is dedicated to a fallen South Carolina hero. The run team stops at every mile marker where they present an American Flag and a biographical card in honor of a fallen service member in an effort to create a 120-mile memorial trail through South Carolina. The Mission of the South Carolina Run for the Fallen is to raise awareness for the fallen heroes of South Carolina who fought and died supporting the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). The purpose is also to provide support, hope and healing to families grieving the death of a loved one in military service regardless of relationship or circumstance of death.

The 'highest-paid dead celebrities of 2017' have been revealed
October 31, 2017 12:06 pm in Entertainment by Shanee Dobeson
The world's top-earning dead celebrity has been revealed in Forbes' annual Halloween-spooky list of the 'highest-paid dead celebrities'.
According to the US business magazine, Michael Jackson came in at number one for the fifth straight year, generating a whopping US$75 million.
Forbes attributed Jackson's earnings to a new greatest hits album, a Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas and a stake in the EMI music publishing catalogue.
Coming in at second was golf legend Arnold Palmer with US$40 million and in third spot was Peanuts creator Charles Schulz with an income of US$38 million.
Fellow singer Elvis Presley finished fourth with $35 million, which was thanks to the "new $45 million Elvis Presley's Memphis entertainment complex and recently-opened hotel The Guesthouse at Graceland," Forbes said.
In fifth spot was Bob Marley with $23 million, which was "boosted by sustainability-focused House of Marley audio products and the Marley Beverage Co."
