With a few bright passages of sunshine, the picture of the past of man has been a gloomy one. It is darkened all over with horrors. Poor, sick, ignorant, enslaved, crushed with bigotries, maddened with fanaticism--enduring a thousand forms of untold misery--the condition of man has been dark and damning. In his best condition--under the lowest as well as the highest civilization--he suffered multiplied miseries and far too often this bright world, gemmed all over with beauty and magnificence, has been only a vale of tears.
From the past history and present condition of man, we turn with hope and joy to the spectacle of a future destiny. It cannot be that the end of man's existence as a race is a never-ending condition of degradation and suffering. If the meager and ill-diffused intelligence that existed in the past and that now exists has accomplished so much, what may we not expect from general enlightenment? He has not rightly studied the past who permits himself to despair of the future. And to man's noble destiny many circumstances are contributing! Man is step by step gaining an understanding of the powers of nature.
If any one thing distinguishes our times from all past times more decidedly than anything else, it is that mind is advancing in all that can promise glory and happiness. With its many instruments of precision, it soars high into the realms of the material universe and unfolds the many wonders that have been hidden from peoples of the past. It pierces deep into the dark recesses of our little world; it is discovering matter and displaying the many marvelous properties of its component parts; it is rapidly subduing the long-established tyranny of the old elements and compelling them to yield their power subservient to the direction of man; slowly, sometimes it seems rapidly, mind is unraveling the mysteries of nature, supplying man with transcendent powers and slowly, painstakingly, unraveling the laws of nature in many fields of existence. Thousands of ancient errors have been dragged out into the light and shown in their true colors. We expect this progress to continue.
We look for no miraculous revelations of omnipotence--no ushering in of a millennium, with the pomp of angelic administration and sublime elemental phenomena. The sun will shine on in the heavens; the order and harmony of the universe will not be disturbed. The means by which humanity is to advance to a high condition of happiness are of a natural and simple character; we have only to look back upon the past to judge the future. Man is never satisfied with what he has. He is always striving to improve his condition. Out of this striving, blind though it is, comes his progress.
But with all of this great advance in many departments of science, we are still in the period of pre-history in our thinking about health, disease and healing. That men, trained in the sciences of chemistry, physics, biology, physiology, anatomy, etc., should resort to animistic thinking when they consider drugs and doses, is the paradox of paradoxes. We still have far to go in our thinking in this field before we can boast of our progress and enlightenment. But there is ground for hope. A tree grows slowly, little by little; but when it attains a certain size and development, you view it some fine morning and behold: it is covered with blossoms. A few more weeks pass and it is ladden with luscious fruit. So it will be with the development of the Hygienic movement.
In many respects the medical profession has every advantage. They have the advantage of large government supported and endowed institutions in which learned professors teach their principles and methods; they have the advantage of long established public confidence; they have the advantage of great age; they lay the foundation for another disease in treating one. But the medical profession has the disadvantage of the weakness that inheres in all systems that are basically false and that require a process of ceaseless change, both of theories and practices, if they are to continue to exist.
Our principles are true, hence enduring.
Our means are compatible with the needs of life, hence constructive rather than destructive.
Our principles are comprehensible to the common understanding, hence by way of compensation, are certain to be accepted.
Another and great advantage of ours is that we control the habits of our patrons--this, indeed, being an essential part of our plan of care--and this assures us a success medical men do not even dream of.
The more rapidly our patients evolve into vigorous health and the more peace, harmony and agreement there exists between us as professional brethren of one great and truthful movement, the more will people flock to the ranks of Hygiene. One young woman restored, and taught how she may keep the roses blooming in her cheeks and how to preserve the sparkling luster of her eyes should be sufficient to reconcile the whole neighborhood to the new way of life.
There has, indeed, been a lengthy period during which Hygienic education has reached only a few intent readers and careful students. But there will come a time and I am convinced that we are now upon the threshold of that time when, as a result of the failures of the schools of so-called healing and particularly of the dominant school of medicine, the people in general will manifest a serious desire to discover and understand something that will prove to be successful. Then the educational work of a century may be crowded into a decade. The growing recognition of the failure of the "miracle drugs" and the inability of the medical profession to find something with which to supplant them must serve to awaken the intelligence of our somnolent people and start them in search of truths that have long been denied them.
When this time arrives, we must have educators to do the educating work. We must have men and women who know Hygiene; we must have lecturers, writers and practitioners who thoroughly understand the principles and practices of Natural Hygiene and who are capable of both caring for the sick and educating the well. Without such a trained and educated group of educators, the efforts of the people to find the truth about life and living, about health, disease and healing, can only prove abortive and end in a tragic explosion. The brighter the light of Hygiene, the further it can be seen. The higher we hold it, the greater the distance from which the lost can see its guiding beams.
We cannot look to the leaders and practitioners of the newer schools of so-called healing to lead the people into truth and health--they do not know the truth themselves. They are opportunists, frauds, and fakers who seek to use every awakening on the part of the people, not as an opportunity to present them with more truth, but as an opportunity for more exploitation. The self-professed liberals among us are not our friends. We must learn to observe the rule that who is not for us is against us. The half-devil, half-angel kind of mongrel is not a Hygienist. Those who go in for Dianetics, hypnotism, chiropractic, herbalism and other non-Hygienic methods and systems, however well meaning they may be, are foes of truth.
The system of Natural Hygiene, as taught and practiced in all the Hygienic institutions in America, is either founded in nature and is true or it is not. If true, it ought to be adopted at once as such, to the exclusion of all opposing theories and practices, with however much zeal these other systems are propogated, because truth knows no compromise. If Hygiene is not founded in nature and is not true, then it should be rejected as promptly and no man should engage in it. There can be no middle ground.
Co-existence is sold to us as the very quiescence of progress. How absurdly fantastic is the whole idea! Either Hygiene is true or it is false. If it is false, it could not co-exist. If it is true, then the systems that oppose it and that are based on principles that are necessarily false, should not co-exist.
The Hygienic System has its principles in the laws of nature themselves. It repudiates all the teachings of all the medical schools in the world, so far as principles and practices are concerned. Indeed, if there were not a drug-medical school, nor a drug-physician nor an apothecary shop in the world, and if there were not a cure-monger and treatment peddler of the non-drug schools of medicine in the world, it would be much easier to educate the people in a true science of life and health and it could be done in much less time than now, with all these stumbling blocks in the way. Every system, every method that misleads and confuses the people stands in the way of the advance of truth.
The future of Hygiene is assured because it rests upon a foundation of bed-rock truth. However slow or rapid may be its progress among the people, its ultimate acceptance by them is as certain as the rising of tomorrow's sun. Every new truth that is discovered, every new and valid principle that is developed, will but add to its lustre and its strength and render its application more effective. Perhaps there is already in the world all the knowledge needed to perfect the science and art of Hygiene, if it could be brought together and synthesized; perhaps there yet remains much to be discovered. The future progress of Hygiene must rest in increasing knowledge of the normal elements of life. As we learn more of biology and physiology, of food and sunshine, of exercise and rest, of the emotions and environmental stresses, our work will become more precise and will be applied with greater understanding.
The unity of nature means nothing if it does not also mean the unity of truth. Every discovery of new truth helps us to a fuller and better understanding and application of old truth. The accumulation of truth helps us to a better interpretation and application of it. For this reason, the discovery of new truths will result in the advance of Hygiene. Hygiene will be promoted and purified by every advance in physiological, nutritional and bionomic science. Our grandchildren will have a better knowledge of Hygiene and be better able to apply it than we of today. We are justified in regretting our own ignorance; we should never fear the advances that will provide for greater knowledge for the future.
What have we to fear from the findings of science? What have we to fear from the discovery of truth? These questions may seem like hollow mockery since the making of nuclear bombs. We note that the findings of science may constitute a menace to the future of the race. Actually, everything science has ever discovered has been a potential menace to the race, not, however, because truth is essentially a menace, but due to the fact that the real menace is ever present, ready to pervert and misuse every discovery that is made. The predatory forces that rule, exploit and ruin human society, not the truths that are uncovered by the searchings of scientists, constitute the real menace to the future of mankind. Altogether too many scientists, unfortunately, are in the employ of these forces and are their willing tools. For this reason, scientists have many crimes to answer for.
Of all the people in the world, Hygienists should desire and welcome the discovery of new truths, in the firm faith that every new truth that is discovered will support and render more meaningful the truths we already possess. We have less to fear and more to hope for in the discovery of truth than any other group.
Let us, then, have no fears of the bearings of any of the discoveries of science upon Hygiene. Every step of progress into the arcana of nature will prove a triumph for Hygiene. There is not a shadow of reason to fear any other result. Hygiene is true, whatever else is true, and we ought never to permit any doubts of its truth to arise because of some new discovery or alleged discovery. Scientists may disclose new truths galore, but they will not make anything untrue that was true before. The discovery of a new truth does not destroy an old truth. Whatever is true will forever remain true, whatever else may be found to be true. If there seems to arise a conflict between a new truth and an old one, it will be found to be only in appearance, if they are both really true. New truths can only throw more light on old truths--every truth fortifies every other truth.
The vital truths of Natural Hygiene will be accepted as certainly as was the truth that the earth is round and not flat and that the earth turns on its axis and that the sun does not go around the earth. The principles of Hygiene are perhaps as representative of our modern era as the theories of Copernicus and Gallelio were of their own time. The blind fumblings towards the solutions of problems that have challenged man throughout the historic period and the many mistakes that were made and are being made by the old systems are representative of mistakes in astronomy that prevailed before Copernicus. We need not be discouraged, although we may be excused our impatience with the slowness of progress.
While all the many schools of healing and of prophylaxis have been operating in modern society, disease and the drug industry have been increasing. It is evident that we shall have to look to some other source for a remedy for these evils. That source is Natural Hygiene. It proposes and makes its one object the removal of disease and the disease trades from the earth. The time has certainly come to tear away the veil of mystery with which the so-called healing art has so long been shrouded. It has been left to the advocates of the Hygienic System to teach the people a genuine science of life, the genuine ways of health, the real causes of disease and the genuine means of restoring health. Whatever may be the ultimate destiny of Hygiene, its present mission is to enlighten the world upon these most vital subjects, to popularize the science of life and to spread everywhere a knowledge of the laws of life. It is a glorious mission--let us labor earnestly for its full accomplishment.
Strong, naked, honest facts are what the public wants to satisfy them of the virtues of Natural Hygiene. It is not enough to enunciate principles--we must explain their practical operations and show the results of their applications. We must not only show how the sick ought to get well, but how they do get well. When the public mind has been duly enlightened on these matters, the difficulties that we have to contend with today will no longer be present. Disease will be understood as a restoring operation and will no longer be regarded as a destroying process or even a destroying entity.
Who tread on Hygeia's hill!"
No mere reform program will suffice. As reformers ignore the basic causes of evils and concentrate upon ameliorating some of the symptoms, they tangle themselves in absurdities and contradictions. One of the salient features of reform is that, however it expresses itself, it becomes pinched in its own cleft stick. This is a consequence of predicating its reasoning upon sentimentality rather than upon basic principles. If we content ourselves with scratching the surface instead of looking for causes, we are sure to become mere reformers. Reform is a mere palliative which fosters the very evils it seeks to relieve and causes it to blossom into some fresh evils.
The Hygienic movement cannot be all things to all men. It can be only one thing and all mankind must accept it in its purity and integrity or suffer for its lack of intelligent application of the only saving force in existence. Only the Hygienic movement, guided by its unswerving adherence to the valid principles of life and its deep sense of responsibility to the peoples of earth gives to the struggle for health freedom the importance it deserves. Only the Hygienic movement truly reveals the inner workings of the medical system.
Alcott gave it as his opinion that all systems of medicine were leading us "to one grand issue." He said: "Within a short time--it may be five hundred years, for that in history is a short time, but it may be in 50--all sensible and truly learned medical men, as a general rule, will give no medicine at all." By medicine, in this instance, he meant drugs. But he was mistaken in thinking that the drugging systems can lead mankind into true practices and into a knowledge of the truth about life and living.
Although at present Hygienists represent a small minority group in our country and in the world, we are the only group with a program that represents the genuine welfare of the people. Though our times are temporarily dark and troublesome, we can hear the guardian genius, Hygiene, proclaiming as with a voice of thunder, "All will be well."
Gleeful in the morning sun.


Academic assignments require almost a hundred percent perfection. For this reason, a student should be active and concentrate with their work. Most of the students get low marks not because they are not academically bright but because their academic assignments are full of errors resulting from the failure to do editing or to proofread their papers. Lectures in the universities and colleges are highly impressed by papers that match the standards of their students. These academic assignments are free of grammatical errors, punctuation errors as well as being sensible to the reader.
The following are some of the tips to make sure that your academic assignment are free of errors.
Read the paper loudly as if it is a story. Carefully listen to any error that you might hear. Such errors might arise from incomplete sentences, phrases as well as clauses that sound funny when no comedy is intended. In case of any error that is detected, stop and correct.
Check all the punctuations by focusing on every single word in your academic assignment. Be attentive to the capitalized words, incorrect use of periods, extra commas and missing commas and make the required punctuations.
Use good grammar. Academic assignments are valuable only when all the sentences are well connected and when there is coherence in what they communicate. All the word classes should be used for their own functions and should never be confused. Use of appropriate connectors makes the work appear awesome.
Pay close attention to homonyms. These are words with same pronunciation or spelling but have different meanings. Sometimes a person can confuse and that is dangerous.
Check the apostrophes and contractions. Most of the times, these writing techniques are used the wrong way. Make proper corrections.

Union unveils jersey rich with symbolism
by KERITH GABRIEL, gabrielk@phillynews.com, Posted: November 14, 2009
The vivid imagination of Philadelphia Union supporters regarding the look of their team's uniform was put to rest yesterday as the team unveiled its home jersey.
The uniform, or "kit" as it is referred to in soccer circles, is made by adidas, the team's official apparel supplier. Predominantly midnight blue, it features a gold strip down the center with light-blue piping in the color of the Philadelphia flag - much like the Union's crest that pays tribute to the colors of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, as well as the city.
"It was a work in progress, but we are real proud of what we put out," Union president Tom Veit said. "We wanted something different that our fans would like; and judging by our message boards, I think we accomplished that."
The crest is centered on the front, as opposed to the traditional chest placement, with the Major League Soccer patch adorning the right sleeve and the American flag on the left. The team's motto, "Jungite Aut Perite," which is Latin for "Join or Die," is on the back of the collar. That was Benjamin Franklin's rallying cry for unifying the Colonies.
The team will have only two uniforms, electing to scrap ideas of an alternate kit. The road uni will be unveiled at a later date, but Union CEO and managing partner Nick Sakiewicz told the Daily News last night that the reverse will be the standard for the away kit - primarily gold with blue panel and either white or blue for the piping.
The design selection process took roughly 6 to 8 months, according to Veit, and was primarily the vision of Sakiewicz and fellow owner Jay Sugarman.

"A lot of this was done by researching ideas with our fan base, focus groups, etc.," Sakiewicz said. "Everything we do, we think about how it would impact our fans. This is a custom jersey design made for the Union. No other team in the world has this design. There's a lot to be said for that."
The jersey will hit sporting-good stores next week, and can be preordered at the team Web site, www.philadelphiaunion.com.

Badger Fly Fishers
Spring Opener
Joan & Lee Wulff Award
BFF Member's New Book, River Alliance Update, Stream Improvement Project Contribution and More Great Fish Pictures
Posted on March 31, 2021 by Buzz McFly
Scott Seymour is a long-time Badger Fly Fishers member who has written a book titled "Return to Familiar Waters". The book was just released in February on Amazon.com and is about Scott's journey to becoming a fly fisher and the streams and rivers he has traveled to along the way. Many of these locations are places people will readily recognize. The following is a book review:
"Return to Familiar Waters" by Scott Seymour – Reviewed by Bob Harrison
Scott Seymour wrote his first book, "From Field to Fly" in 2000. The book was a how-to guide for fly tiers showing how to skin and preserve birds and fur bearers to use in fly tying. He has just released his second book, "Return to Familiar Waters" in February, 2021. Unlike his first book, "Return to Familiar Waters", is not a how-to book nor is it a where-to book but rather it's a fly fisher's journey from rowing the boat while his grandfather fished to ultimately earning his place in the boat as a fishing companion to his grandfather. From there, we climb into the passenger seat and follow along as Seymour slowly and inevitably discovers the rivers, lakes and streams of his home state of Wisconsin. Along the way we meet lifelong friends, bear witness to the ones that got away and a few of the ones that didn't get away. Those of us who have enjoyed fishing the waters of our wonderful state will recognize many of the locations in Seymour's adventures and in doing so perhaps relive some of our own adventures.
We also share in Seymour's conversion to that hallowed group of misfits known as fly fishers. His immersion into that world of lost souls includes trips to the American West, Alaska and south to salt water destinations. But ultimately, like many of us, he circles back to his home water. In Seymour's case it's the Menominee River in northeastern Wisconsin. Seymour speaks with due reverence to this very special river and the imminent danger it faces with a proposed open pit sulfide mine known as the Back Forty Mine. This mine will come within 150 feet of the Menominee River and its blue ribbon smallmouth bass fishery. The last chapter of the book is one of the best written descriptions of what is at stake should this mine be allowed to open. Mr. Seymour is committed to stopping this potential risk to his favorite river and has committed all the profits from the sale of this book to organizations (listed in the back of the book) opposed to the Back Forty Mine project. Buy the book and you will not only get an enjoyable read but also help to preserve a great river.
Many of us will read "Return to Familiar Waters" and see a common thread with our own path to that wonderful "Dark Side" that is the sporting life. As Mr. Thoreau pointed out to us many years ago, "Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after". Mr. Seymour has looked into that deep pool and seen life, without artifice, looking back at him.
"Return to Familiar Waters" by Scott Seymour is available for purchase on Amazon.com.
The following is a recent update from the River Alliance of Wisconsin on the Menominee River Back Forty mining project:
On January 4, 2021 Administrative Law Judge Daniel Pulter denied Aquila Resources wetland permit for the proposed Back Forty sulfide mine near the Menominee River. In June 2018, Tom Boerner, the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, and the Coalition to Save the Menominee River contested the wetland permit that Aquila Resources received from Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). While this is a setback for Aquila, we expect it to challenge this decision. You can donate to support the continued legal efforts of the Coalition (donate here) and Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin (donate here). Over the past several years the Badger Fly Fishers have made contributions to this cause and written letters of support. The Coalition to Save the Menominee River provided this press release that is a good summary of the decision:
The Coalition to SAVE the Menominee River, Inc. is very pleased with Judge Pulter's decision in our Contested Case to deny Aquila Resources' Wetlands Permit. His decision validates many of the objections the Coalition raised with respect to the Permit. One of our big arguments was that the application should never have been considered administratively complete by EGLE because the wetland impacts were not reliably identified, which deprived the public of its right to review and comment. Judge Pulter agreed. Another issue we raised was that Aquila did not properly assess the alternatives to avoid wetland impacts. Again, the Judge agreed. And, on the big question of whether EGLE could issue a permit with conditions that would have allowed Aquila to submit new and updated modeling to support the wetland impacts, the Judge said such conditional permits are not allowed. The decision itself is over 70 pages long, and our attorney is still assessing what it all means. We do understand that the next step, should any of the parties so choose, would be to seek review from the Environmental Permit Review Commission. That request would have to be made within 21 days. More details can be found at this link.
The Board of Directors' recommendation for a $1,500 contribution to The Harry and Laura Nohr Trout Unlimited chapter's Blue River project was overwhelmingly approved by the membership. When this project is completed it will greatly improve over 7,700 feet of stream on the Zadrazil property which is a new easement. Thanks for everyone's support of this worthwhile project.
The Buzz again received numerous great fish pictures since the last announcement that you can find below. This group of pictures reveals in a photograph for the first time Brian Ramsey's super special Driftless No Hackle Dry Fly which is simply and fittingly named the "BR Mighty Trout Catcher". Brian is a master fly casting instructor who has provided instructions in the past at our summer picnics and is a professional guide that many of us know. Please keep the pictures of fish and fly patterns coming to this email address (badgerflyfishers@gmail.com) and the Buzz will periodically post the pictures on our website. Enjoy!
Continue to keep safe and healthy!

SEE Law Journal
The South East European Law Journal (SEE Law Journal) is a scientific journal of the South East European Law School Network (SEELS) that is published solely in English Language from its inception. The SEE Law Journal publishes high-quality original, double peer-reviewed scientific, review and professional articles focusing on relevant questions of regional, European and international integration of SEE countries, issues of legal reform and approximation with the acquis communitaire, best practices, in legal reform and unification of the legislation in the region of South East Europe and the EU.
The SEE Law Journal as regards its envisioned scope and content, makes available to a global audience a unique the South East European perspective on the vibrantly evolving regional systems, traditions and innovations of law in the region in the context of historical, economic and political‐legal transformation. As such, the SEE Law Journal has the potential to provide for a highly valuable, transnational platform to bring together legal academics and practitioners to engage in thorough exchange regarding the challenges and possibilities arising from the unique historical and geographical context across legal disciplines and geographical boundaries. Our main criteria for assessing submissions include originality, quality of analysis, potential impact, and relevance to contemporary debates. Our aim is to publish papers of high quality, that will contribute to the knowledge transfer and exchange of best practices with regard to public and private law, EU law, legal education and the legal profession.
SEE Law Journal is open for submission of articles prepared by the academics of the SEELS network of the SEELS members primarily, and with the amendment and broadening of the existing Editorial Policy the SEE Law Journal is also open for articles from individual PhD candidates from the SEELS network, as well as authors who are coming from the region but are not coming from the SEELS network itself. The only requrement is that the interested authors should be researching and writing on EU Law related topics such as analyses of EU Law related issues, implementation of the EU Law legislation in the region and local legislation practices, EU Law related news, book reviews, and similar.
The journal has continuously been published since 2014 till the present day, and has been significantly supported and strenghtened through the activities which were implemented within the implementation of the "Strengthening the EU Legal Studies in South Eastern Europe" (2017-2020) a project that was financially supported by the Erasmus + Jean Monnet. In 20221 the SEE Law Journal was officially registered on the well established Hein Online data base, and all of the published issues are available there as well.
With the new Editorial Policy the SEE Law Journal has now two fixed deadlines for submission of papers - 1 of April and 1 November each year. More in the Call for Papers and Gidelines for Authors.
All of the issues of the SEE Law Journal are available for use under these links:

Q: Does this the variant of asymptotic density satisfy Intermediate value property? Let $A\subset \mathbb{N}$. Its upper and lower asymptotic densities are defined by $$\overline{d}(A)=\limsup\limits_{n\to \infty}\frac{\#(A\cap \{1,2,\ldots,n\})}{n}$$ and
$$\underline{d}(A)=\liminf\limits_{n\to \infty}\frac{\#(A\cap \{1,2,\ldots,n\})}{n}$$ respectively, where $\#(B)$ denotes the cardinality of $B$. It is well known that for any $0\le s\le t\le 1$, there exists a set $S\subset \mathbb{N}$ such that $\underline{d}(S)=s$ and $\overline{d}(S)=t$ (see, for example, (2.10) and (2.11) in the paper https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/epdf/10.1142/S1793042117500051).
Now I encounter the following density which can be regarded as an invariant of the upper asymptotic density. For $0<\theta\le 1$, define
$$\overline{d}_\theta(A)=\limsup\limits_{n\to \infty}\inf_{k\in \{n,n+1,\ldots, [\frac{n}{\theta}]\}}\frac{\#(A\cap \{1,2,\ldots,k\})}{k},$$
where $[x]$denotes the integer part of $x$.  Clearly, $\overline{d}_\theta(A)=\overline{d}(A)$ when $\theta=1$.
My question is: Fix $0<\theta\le 1$. For any $0\le s\le t\le 1$, does there exists a set $S\subset \mathbb{N}$ such that $\underline{d}(S)=s$ and $\overline{d}_\theta(S)=t$?

Now, let $H$ be a subgroup containing a non trivial conjugate (i.e. there exists an element $x\in G,\,\notin H $ such that $H^x\leq H$). Is it true that, in this case, $H$ is normal in $G$? How can we prove that? Is solvability of any help?
Note
A group $G$ is said to satisfy the maximal condition on subgroups iff it is impossibile to find an infinite strictly ascendant chain of subgroups.

A: Observe that any finite nilpotent group $\;G\;$ both fulfills the maximal condition for subgroups and also for any proper subgroup $\;H\;$ we have that $\;H\lneqq N_G(H)\;$ which means there exists $\;x\in G\setminus H\;\;s.t.\;\;H^x\le H\;$ ...and this doesn't make the subgroup $\;H\;$ normal.

A: I may be missing something, but the maximal condition simply tells you that if $H^x \leq H$ then $H^x = H.$ In other words, $H$ has normalizer strictly containing $H.$ It does not seem to imply that $H$ is normal.


The Botswanan economy is finally beginning to recover from the fallout of the global economic crisis. The diamond industry, which forms the bedrock of the national economy, was badly hit by falling demand for industrial and particularly decorative diamonds, and so the government introduced a production holiday in 2009 that caused annual output to fall by 45%. Production and revenues are now recovering but Gaborone has been given a great deal of food for thought regarding its plans for economic diversification.
Despite some progress at opening up other areas of the economy, diamond exports currently account for about a third of GDP and 51% of export revenues. As always, the centrepiece of the industry in what is the world's biggest diamond producer is Debswana, the joint venture between the government of Botswana and diamond giant De Beers based in neighbouring South Africa.
Gaborone forecasts that national production will recover from 22.97m carats in 2009 to 30.83m carats a year by 2014, largely because of a steady increase in Debswana's investment to $555m a year by 2014. The IMF largely agrees with this prediction, estimating that diamond exports in 2014 will reach the equivalent of 80% of pre-crisis levels.
As might be expected, recovering global demand for diamonds has been accompanied by a parallel improvement in Botswana's economic fortunes. A balance of payments deficit of $534m in the last quarter of 2010 was converted into a $427m surplus in the first three months of this year as diamond export volumes and prices picked up.
The financial crisis appears to have reignited the government's enthusiasm for widening the country's economic base. Progress has been made in encouraging the emergence of other sectors, including banking and agriculture, while the government has placed economic diversification at the heart of its latest six-year National Development Plan, named Vision 2016.
It is the coal sector that could provide most benefit in terms of revenues and also with regard to encouraging the development of national infrastructure.
Botswana is also believed to contain large reserves of coal bed methane (CBM), or coal seam gas (CSG) as it is otherwise known. The government estimates CBM reserves in the Kalahari Karoo Basin alone at about 60 trillion cubic feet plus about 136 trillion cubic feet of shale gas. Although of course not all of this would be economically or even technically recoverable, these are huge figures.
In particular, the government is keen to encourage diamonds to be cut domestically, although past initiatives to encourage diamond beneficiation within the country have not always secured the expected benefits. Nevertheless, more than a dozen cutting, polishing and jewellery production companies are now active in the country.
Mining activity aside, there is no doubt that Botswana's greatest potential is in the tourist sector. With stunning scenery, including the unique Okavango Delta, gradually improving infrastructure and a relatively safe travelling environment, it is well placed to attract tourists from South Africa and also the northern hemisphere.
According to a recent report on the country by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), tourism was the only significant sector not affected by the global economic crisis. A record 2.5m tourists are expected to visit the country this year, spending around P6.5bn ($919m) between them, up from 1.8m visitors and P2.9bn ($410m) in 2009.
Regional attempts are also being made to encourage tourism across Southern Africa as a whole, by easing the cross-border movement of foreign visitors and conserving the region's outstanding flora and fauna. The world's largest conservation area, the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area, was officially opened in August. The huge, 444,000 square kilometre zone spreads over the boundaries of Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It aims to link established conservation areas, such as Botswana's Chobe National Park, with each other across inhabited and farmed areas.
Encouraging far greater visitor numbers to the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area and elsewhere in Botswana could help to boost economic activity in rural areas.
The government is also looking to agriculture to sustain rural economies, both in order to generate more employment and to improve food security. The country is presently heavily reliant on imports from neighbouring states but Gaborone hopes that increased investment, including in irrigation, could boost the production of fruit and vegetables, plus possibly also enable the creation of a horticulture sector.
Botswana farmers already enjoy preferential export rights into the EU but have made little use of them because of the lack of domestic production. However, Ugandan farmers have shown that they can compete with Kenya in the horticulture sector, so there seems no reason why Botswanan flowers could not be flown to retail outlets across Western Europe and North America.
As our Southern African regional banking analysis reveals, Botswana banks fare relatively well in a region dominated by the big financial powerhouses of South Africa. The Botswana International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), which was set up by the government to encourage diversification, is attempting to establish the country as a financial hub for the wider region.
Companies accredited by the IFSC are entitled to a reduced corporate tax rate of 15% and enjoy tax holidays on dividends, interest, management fees and royalties if they are paid to a non-Botswanan resident, plus exemption from capital gains tax and value added tax.
The IFSC is seeking to: reduce the national dependence on mineral revenues, particularly diamonds; create sustainable employment opportunities for suitably qualified citizens; enhance the skills base of the Botswana workforce; foster innovation and sophistication in the financial and business services; and enhance Botswana's reputation in the international financial and business community.
Despite government plans for diversification into non-mining sectors, the export of commodities is likely to remain the mainstay of the Botswanan economy for a long time to come. Copper, nickel, coal, uranium and soda ash could all complement diamond revenues and boost GDP.
This will translate into an ever greater dependence on the mining industry but should also provide the government with increased financial muscle to fund other projects and encourage processing, service and agricultural sector investment.
It makes sense for the government to encourage the development of its natural resources by foreign, private sector companies, but it is also up to Gaborone to spend its income wisely for the benefit of the Botswanan people now and in the future. The diamond mines will eventually be exhausted and so Botswana, as with all African states, should have as wide an economic base as possible.


For a long time relegated to second place after vodka, gin began to regain its popularity at the end of the 1980s. Dedicated entirely to the world of cocktails and mixology, there was rivalry at both a creative and technical level. Distilleries introduced new aromatic plants and spices. They were thus able to create unusual flavours, elevating this spirit to new heights, and satisfying the demands of a more sophisticated, educated clientele.
At the height of its glory in the 50s and 60s, gin was the base of numerous cocktails, including the famous Dry Martini.
However, the arrival of vodka over this same period had a dramatic impact. Gradually relegated to second place, gin eventually fell by the wayside. During the 70s it suffered from a dated image, and could not compete with a modernized public who had developed a taste for vodka.
It was not until the end of the 80s and the introduction of a new brand of gin, Bombay Sapphire, that the spirit's image recovered, and once again began to arouse the curiosity of barmen and mixologists. Gin became a new source of inspiration and innovation. Distilleries all over the world competed to come up with ingenious new recipes. Original cocktails showcased the aromatic palette of the raw materials (spices, aromatic plants and herbs) while at the same time demonstrating the distilleries' talent and technical mastery.
At the heart of the production of gin is a blue-green berry that grows on a shrub called genus juniperus (juniper). This is then supplemented with other flavourings, such as coriander seeds, that are used by a substantial majority of producers. However, there are no rules regarding the choice and quantities of the herbs, spices and other flavourings that may be added to the eau de vie.
While a gin's final character is of course linked to its various ingredients, its quality and complexity are not solely dependent on the number of spices and aromatic plants used in the recipe (generally somewhere between 6 and 10). In addition to these proportions, the distiller's expertise consists of knowing the best way to extract the essential oils from the selected plants, flavourings and spices. To each their technique! Some producers think nothing of using all three extraction techniques (infusion, maceration and distillation) in the preparation of their gin.
During the 60s, John Dore & Co Ltd invented a still known as the Carter-Head. Its function was to transform grain alcohol distilled by column stills into vodka or gin.
Consisting of a 3,000 litre tank fitted with a column, the unique feature of the Carter-Head still is the copper chamber at the top of the column. This chamber is filled with spices, aromatic plants and juniper berries, which flavour the alcohol vapour when it arrives at the top of the column, having risen up through the plates.
This type of still has become extremely rare, but is still used by some distillers, who blend the resulting subtle distillates with the heavier distillates obtained from pot stills.

In Europe, cannabis is used at least monthly by 20% of students aged 15-16 (Espad 2011). These data raise our concern for many reasons: cannabis is an addictive substance, and has been associated with several health consequences, like psychosis, other psychiatric symptoms, attention deficit etc. Cannabis was the most frequently used drug reported as reason for entering treatment, although with large variations among countries. Cannabis is considered a gateway drug, giving access to use of other drugs.
Only a minority of cannabis users experienced these effects, and usually those with a more intensive use. However the prevention interventions usually address first use of cannabis, instead of the progression from experimentation and intensive use, and this is because the knowledge about the determinants of progression is lacking or very weak.
Adolescence is the life period during which most part of young people start do use drugs, and for these reasons school is a privileged setting for prevention.
The study of the determinants of adolescent behaviors is the base for prevention interventions. Risk protective factors more frequently addressed by interventions are peer influence, communication skills, knowledge, refusal skills. Indeed, most part of intervention are based on the development of life skills to tackle these factors.
Most effective interventions are based on a mix of theories, including social learning (Bandura 1977) and social norms theories (Durkeim 1951), but also on psychological vulnerability (Sher 2000). The average effect size of such interventions is around 30% (RR=0.7), with large variations among interventions (Faggiano 2014).
The effectiveness of interventions could probably be strongly improved if they are implemented together of other kind of interventions acting on the environment, not only focused on cannabis prevention, but also on tobacco and alcohol consumption, considered to be gateway drugs for cannabis use.

An Idyllic Summer Escape on Orcas Island, Washington
By Lisa Frederick
Orcas IslandSan Juan Islands
Just off the northwest coast of Washington, the sleepy San Juan Islands are a bit of a well-kept secret, beloved by locals who long to get off the grid and into the beauty of nature. Each of them has its own character and charm, but the crown jewel is Orcas Island, the largest and lushest in the group. Pastoral and pristine, it boasts a patchwork of evergreen forests, open farmland, fjord-like waterways and rocky beaches. With less than 6,000 residents and not a single stoplight or a major chain store, Orcas Island makes for a blissful summer getaway and the perfect place to enjoy a few days of unplugged family time in the Pacific Northwest.
Long, narrow East Sound splits Orcas Island into two lobes
What to Do on Orcas Island with Kids
Although Orcas Island isn't named for orca whales, those distinctive black-and-white whales, this area is among the best places in the world to see them. Options for a whale watching tour are numerous, and in season (roughly May through October), you're likely to spot orca pods as well as humpback whales and other species. We chose Deer Harbor Charters, the oldest such operation in the San Juans, and spent a gorgeous day on the water with our captain, naturalist and a small group of passengers. While the orcas didn't put in an appearance, we followed a pair of humpbacks for quite a while (magnificent!) and encountered lots of sea lions, harbor seals, bald eagles and more in the process.

One of the best ways to take in the scope of Orcas Island's beauty is to paddle around its shoreline. From April to September, Shearwater Kayak Tours leads excellent 3-hour excursions that depart from points on the island's eastern and western lobes; kayaks are tandem, so younger children can ride along with a parent. If you have teens with enough stamina, Shearwater also offers a full-day version that includes stops at some of the small islands nearby. Note that minimum ages for all kayaking trips range from 5 to 15, depending on location and length.
Jumping into Cascade Lake from this bridge is a local tradition
Orcas is a hiker's dream, with miles of hiking trails of all difficulty levels crisscrossing the landscape. Our two favorites were the half-mile hike down to the rugged beach at Obstruction Pass State Park (a great spot to explore tidepools, as described below) and the 3-mile loop around the clear blue Cascade Lake, home to a low bridge from which you'll often see locals jumping into the water. Don't be surprised if the kids beg to follow their lead! A more intense hike leads to the top of Mount Constitution, the highest point in the San Juans — your reward is a breathtaking vista over the archipelago. If you're up for even more exercise, try your hand at mountain biking. Perfect for thrill-seeking tweens and teens.
Tidepool treasures galore
Tidepooling
At low tide, Orcas' tidepools offer an impressive variety of marine treats: sea stars in brilliant red, orange and purple; moon jellyfish; sea cucumbers; anemones; tiny crabs no bigger than a thumbnail. We spotted these and other creatures in spades at Obstruction Pass and also at Indian Island, accessible by a thin spit of land that gets swallowed up as the tide comes in (keep an eye on your watch). Bring a guidebook with you so kids can identify what they find.
Darvill's Bookstore, a favorite among residents as well as visitors
Exploring Eastsound and Beyond
The village of Eastsound, a small, picturesque town at the hub of local life, is a pleasure to stroll. With one main thoroughfare and a handful of side streets, it's so easy to navigate that parents will feel comfortable giving older kids the freedom to wander. A surprising variety of restaurants and boutiques are clustered here; our favorites included Brown Bear Baking, which serves wonderful pastries and breakfast fare; The Kitchen, offering quick and fresh Asian dishes; the cozy and well-stocked Darvill's Bookstore; and Kathryn Taylor Chocolates, where you'll find handmade confections with Orcas Island-inspired flavors like Douglas fir. Splurge on dinner at Hogstone's Wood Oven, where every ingredient is sourced on the island and the wood-fired pizzas are exquisite (opening hours are limited, so book well in advance).
Orcas has a rich and thriving arts tradition, and Orcas Island Artworks in the village of Olga houses the work of more than 40 artisans. This is a wonderful place to find a special souvenir or a gift; there's a cute cafe onsite too. We also enjoyed stopping at Olga Pottery down the road, the studio and shop of friendly potter Jerry Weatherman.
On summer Saturdays, Eastsound hosts an open-air farmers' market. Don't miss it if you're in town — kids love markets, and it's fun to mingle among the stalls selling local produce, handcrafted food items, jewelry, clothing and more.
Beautiful views from the ferry to Orcas
Families Should Know
There are two ways to reach Orcas: ferry rides or seaplane. We rented a car in Seattle (you will definitely want one to get around the island and explore the charming villages) and drove north to Anacortes to board the car ferry. The ferry ride takes about 75 minutes; it's smooth and easy, with ample indoor seating and outdoor deck space, a small cafeteria that serves snacks and simple meals, and beautiful scenery along the route. Or if you prefer, catch an hour-long seaplane flight from Seattle, then pick up your rental car when you arrive.
TIP: Orcas Island pairs nicely with a short stay in Seattle. We spent three nights in the city followed by four on the island, an ideal balance for both.
Orcas comes alive in the warm summer months. Although it never feels truly overrun, vacation traffic hits peak levels mid-June through August. Shoulder season — late April and May, very early June, and September — brings lighter crowds and reliably pretty weather. The San Juans lie in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, meaning that they see less precipitation than other points nearby (we had four full days of sunshine and blue sky). This is the Pacific Northwest, though, so pack that waterproof jacket just in case.
The island has only a handful of hotels and resorts, most notably the Outlook Inn and Rosario Resort & Spa. We opted for a vacation rental in downtown Eastsound and loved the location — it's nice being just a couple of minutes' walk away from the best shopping and dining as well as basic services. The tradeoff is that staying in town comes with a slight amount of noise and bustle; for true tranquility, book a property farther afield. CB!

Who is the voice of Forky the spork on Toy Story 4?
Wed Mar 20, 2019 at 1:32pm ET Fri Jul 03, 2020 at 1:32 pm EDT
Forky is a new character in Toy Story 4. Pic credit: Disney•Pixar
Disney released the first full-length trailer for Toy Story 4. The trailer is the first to reveal the plot of the movie, which will follow Forky, a new toy made by Bonnie.
It's a spork who isn't sure whether it's a good enough toy, as it sees its primary purpose as a feeding tool. However, Woody can see how much Forky means to Bonnie and will do anything to keep the two together.
Watch the trailer to see how Sporky the Fork fits into the Toy Story 4 plot.
But who voices Forky?
Primetime Emmy Award winner Tony Hale is the man behind Forky. While Hale does have experience with voice work, he's best known for his work on Arrested Development, Veep, and his roles in American Ultra and Stranger Than Fiction.
Tony Hale has an extensive acting resume with three additional projects coming up. He'll be playing Detective Harper on Blind Psychosis in a new TV movie. He's also set to voice a character on Harley Quinn, a new TV series that has been announced as well as star in Still Laugh-IN: The Stars Celebrate, which is currently in pre-production.
You may recognize Hale as Jerome Squalor in A Series of Unfortunate Events. He starred in four episodes. He also starred in Drunk History, Ricky and Morty, Sanjay and Craig, and in the short film Captain America: Civil War Reenactors. His resume continues back to 1995 with his first role in a television movie called The Least of These.
Hale's Emmy win came from his role as Gary Walsh for his work on Veep. He won the Oustanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2015. This role also earned him a win in 2014, as he took home the Gold Derby TV Award for Best Comedy Supporting Actor. The show has also earned a win at the 2018 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Hale also has experience as a producer, working on two projects throughout his career. He was a producer on the short film, Trouble & the Shadowy Deathblow, and the TV series, Ctrl.

Tony Hale is from West Point, New York. He was born in September 1970, which makes him 48 years old. He turns 49 later this year. His birth name is Anthony Russell Hale.
He grew up in Tallahassee, Florida but he went to Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, receiving a journalism degree in 1992. His mother worked as a staff assistant to State Representative Kathy Ashe, while his father worked in the military, where he taught physics.
While his Instagram account is mostly dedicated to his professional life, he has been with the same woman for years. He married Martel Thompson Hale in May 2003 and together, they have one child, according to IMDB. Their daughter, Loy Ann Hale, was born in 2006. Martel and Tony met at a Bible study group in New York and she's an Emmy Award-winning makeup artist.
I'm sadly standing in front of a painting at the airport of the mountains I saw this weekend. Get it together Hale and take a pic of the real thing next time. Thanks @sunvalleyfilmfest for a great weekend and screening #bravenewjersey.

At Meadlands every child is given an end of year target for reading, writing, maths and science. The number of progress steps the child needs to make during the year in order to achieve these targets can vary from individual to individual, some children may need to make 5 steps of progress whereas others 7.
Therefore we define good progress as the accomplishment of their personal challenging end of year targets.
Teachers work with senior leaders every half term to monitor the progress all of the children are making, any one who is falling behind is quickly identified and support is put in place. This support might be extra help in class, an intervention targeting specific learning or a meeting with the child's parents to discuss strategies that can be supported at home as well as in school.
Progress is above national measures, for all subjects for all ability groups.
Progress measures for reading is in the top 5% of schools nationally (2016, predicted 2018).
Progress measures for writing is in the top 14% of schools nationally (2016, 2017, predicted 2018).
The national measure for progress is '0' anything below this is below national standards and above is above! Scores 4 or more points above are often deemed very high performing schools.

A Vegetarian's Guide to Protein
Protein is an essential nutrient that plays a number of important roles in the body, including building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function. As a vegetarian, it can be a challenge to consume enough protein to meet your body's needs, but there are several strategies you can use to make sure you're getting enough of this important nutrient.
Choose protein-rich plant-based foods
There are many plant-based sources of protein that can be included in a vegetarian diet. Some good options include beans and legumes, such as lentils, chickpeas, and black beans; nuts and seeds, such as almonds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds; and whole grains, such as quinoa, oats, and brown rice. Other plant-based sources of protein include tofu, tempeh, and seitan.
Include protein with every meal and snack
To ensure you're getting enough protein throughout the day, try to include a source of protein with every meal and snack. For example, you might have a bowl of oatmeal with nuts and seeds for breakfast, a salad with beans and tofu for lunch, and roasted vegetables with quinoa for dinner. Snacks might include hummus with vegetables or a protein bar made with plant-based protein.
Consider using protein powders
Protein powders can be a convenient way to boost your protein intake, particularly if you're struggling to consume enough protein through whole foods alone. There are several plant-based protein powders available, including those made from peas, brown rice, hemp, and soy. These powders can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, or baked goods to boost their protein content.
Combine protein sources
To ensure you're getting a complete source of protein, it's important to combine different protein sources throughout the day. For example, you might have beans with rice, or tofu with whole grains. Combining protein sources helps to ensure that you're getting all of the essential amino acids your body needs to build and repair tissues.
Don't skimp on calories
While it's important to consume enough protein as a vegetarian, it's also important to make sure you're getting enough calories to support your overall health and well-being. Don't skimp on calories in an effort to boost your protein intake. Instead, focus on a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense plant-based foods.
It's possible to consume enough protein as a vegetarian by choosing protein-rich plant-based foods, including protein with every meal and snack, using protein powders, combining protein sources, and ensuring you're getting enough calories. By following these strategies, you can support your body's protein needs and maintain good overall health.

A petition is currently underway in Durham, North Carolina, US, with the aim of lifting the city's ban on chickens.
The online Durham Chicken Petition has acquired about 535 signatures, according to Kavanah Ramsier of South Eastern Efforts Developing Sustainable Spaces.
To take this to the next step, SEEDS will soon be holding a meeting where representatives will be on hand to answer questions about the side effects, good and bad, of chickens in an urban neighbourhood.
Opponents argue that chickens contribute to noise pollution, bad smells and compromising the general cleanliness of the city. Advocates, however, argue that chickens produce wholesome eggs, provide fertilizer and add entertainment value to a backyard.
The meeting is intended to help people decide whether to endorse this petition and ask that the City Council legalise the chickens throughout town.
City councilman Eugene Brown says the council will make that decision when the time comes, but that roosters are not invited into the city, although chickens may be received a little more favourably.

Background: Pseudothrombocytopenia is spuriously low platelet count seen in complete blood count performed on an automated hematology analyzer. It may lead to unnecessary investigations& management. It has been postulated to be caused by an anticoagulant namely Ethylene-Diamine-Tetra Acetic-Acid (EDTA) and has been reported in physiological as well as disease conditions with variable frequency. No significant research has been done on this important clinical entity in our country.
Objective: To see the prevalence of pseudothrombocytopenia in our settings.
Methods: EDTA based hematology analyzer method was used as the initial test for blood counts. Patients showing thrombocytopenia were screened for pseudothrombocytopenia by Giemsa stained blood film examination. Those with platelet aggregates were labeled as pseudothrombocytopenia and were studied further by doing manual platelet count (ammonium oxalate method) and repeat automated platelet count on a citrate based fresh blood sample. Manual platelet count was also performed on blood samples not showing platelet aggregates, as a second security check, after which, those with low platelet count were labeled as true asymptomatic thrombocytopenia.
Results: Out of 385 patients, 30 revealed pseudothrombocytopenia, eight patients were male and 22 females, female to male ratio was 2.75:1. Ten patients were less than twenty five years old; 15 patients were 25 to 50 years and five patients aged more than 50 years. Mean age of the patients was 32.7±16.5 years. Machine generated blood report using EDTA blood, revealed platelet count <50 ×103/µl in 16(53.4%), 40-100×103/µl in 12(40%) & 100-149×103/µl in 2 (6.7%) patients respectively. Mean platelet count was 50±25×103/µl. No patient had platelet count of >150×103 /µl by this method. Platelet count using sodium citrate revealed platelets >150 ×103 /µl in 25(83.4%) and 100-149×103/µl in 5(16.6%) patients. By manual method none of patients had platelets lower than 150 ×103/µl.

"The second instalment shall immediately follow the first one, in April itself, giving the beneficiaries at least Rs 4,000 of the total Rs 6,000 to be distributed in three equal instalments. So, a farmer receiving the first payment on March 30 may well get the second part within a week," said a senior government official involved in the scheme. About 5 million farmers are expected to be paid on the first day.
