Hi I am a type 2 diabetic. I was on Glyburide for 1 year then added Metformin trying to control sugars. Of course I followed the traditional 60% carb, low fat diet. I excercised alot! 6km power walking every day and weights everyother.
After 2 years of of that I still was not in great control and was made to feel at fault. I have been through two doctors who reacted the same way when my sugars went high "What are you doing wrong?"
I gave in and ate anything I wanted. I nearly killed myself as a result. My fasting sugars were running at 32 and up. So high that a monitor did not register. I was turning into a skeleton.
The doc (we call him doctor D'oh) put me on insulin and needless to say my weight jumped from 120 to 160 in 1 1/2 months.
I have managed to get the weight down to 148 but my sugars are still bad.
I have been following low carb on and off for a year. Yes I cheat on a regular basis but even when I don't I find the sugar readings are still out of whack.
No, my new doc is not wildly enthusiastic. I have searched and found no doc who is. So I am doing this solo so far.
Anyone got any ideas? I sure could use some.
Is Dr. Bernstein's book as good as everyone says it is? I don't want to fork out more money on books that are utterly useless.
Yes, Dr. Bernstein's book really is that good. I literally credit it with saving my life. Something you should know about cheats when you're a diabetic...they can mess your blood sugars up for a couple of days afterwards, not just right after you cheat. I'd suggest that you get the book and follow the plan exactly for at least two weeks...NO CHEATS! It may take some time for your blood sugars to stabilize and once they start coming down, be aware that your medications will likely need to be adjusted. It's best to have your doctor on your side with this, but for sure let him know if your blood sugars start dropping too low.
IMHO most type 2's who are insulin really don't need to be on insulin...they need to be on low carb. I've been doing this for about 18 months now and have taken my HgA1C from 11.8 to 5.6 and my post meal blood sugars rarely go up more than 30 points (I think that would be about 2.5 on your meeter). I was on 1000 mg. of Glucophage daily, now I need none. Not all diabetics can get off their medications following low carb, but they can certainly reduce their need for them if they can stay away from carby goodies.
If you blood sugars are jumping that much after a no carb meal, how much protein are you eating at one time? Excess protein CAN be converted to glucose. You may want to experiment with increasing your fat intake (fat has no effect on your blood sugars) and lowering your protein intake just a bit or check carefully for hidden carbs. Protein power suggests a minimum amount of protein to be about 0.6 grams of carb per pound of lean body mass. Good luck!

Chandus Jackson most recently lived in Allentown, PA and has had various careers, including finance manager, investment banker and army captain. He has been writing all his life but began developing screenplays in 1999. He enjoys creating magic through storytelling and loves having people connect with his writing. His screenplays have garnered top finishes in the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition, Screenwriting Expo contest and the PAGE International Screenwriting Awards. Chandus has a BBA in Finance from Howard University, an MS in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma and an MBA in Finance and Accounting from the University of Michigan. He submitted a political thriller entitled �Rendered� to the Fellowship.
Jennifer Lewey says it all began in second grade with a quirky story she wrote for an assignment, and since then she has not put her pencil down. A native of Chicago, she graduated from the University of Dayton with a B.S. in Marketing. In January 2006 she was honored by the Nevada Film Office, Lt. Governor Hunt of Nevada and Women in Film for her screenplays. �Before Midnight,� her Disney Fellowship submission, won first place in the Nevada Film Office Screenwriting Competition in 2005, and �Uninvited T.R.O.U.B.L.E.� won second. In the competition�s 18-year history, no other writer has ever won both first and second place the same year. Jennifer loves all genres but enjoys writing comedy and romantic comedy.
As a child, Milton Liu made mix tapes that he envisioned as the soundtrack for his films. He chose to follow a career in finance instead of film, but stayed close to filmmaking by helping a friend produce several shorts. He began writing about three years ago, and his first script, �John Hughes Ruined My Life,� which he submitted to the Fellowship, won the Screenplay Award at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2006. A Kansas City native who grew up in Chicago, Milton enjoys writing romantic comedies but has ideas for horror, thriller, family and action dramas -- because the iPod in his head is always on shuffle.


In living animals, we measure their morphology (e.g. muscle size, muscle fibre and tendon lengths) directly, either through dissection or medical imaging techniques. We can also of course measure their biomechanical performance by observing them in the wild and/or in certain cases by measuring them in a controlled laboratory setting. This is central to what we do in the Evolutionary Morphology & Biomechanics Group at Liverpool. However, as a group we are also interested in how and why the morphology and biomechanics we see in living animals came to evolve. Understanding morphology and biomechanics in an evolutionary context requires that we also study fossils. However, in long extinct animals like dinosaurs measuring their anatomy and biomechanics directly just isn't possible; the long process of fossilisation has (mostly) removed all soft tissue leaving us with just the lifeless bony remains of such animals. To get around this limitation we, like many other groups, we use computer modelling approaches to first reconstruct soft tissue anatomy, and subsequently to reverse engineer how extinct animals moved and what they were capable of.
In a new paper published in the Journal of Anatomy this week EMB'er Karl Bates and colleague Peter Falkingham (Liverpool John Moores University) set out to explore how accurate and consistent computer models of extinct animals currently are. This is an important question because biomechanical assessments of extinct animals play a pivotal role in understanding how these animals lived, interacted with each other, and why they evolved. If our estimates of the biomechanical capabilities (e.g. running speeds, bite forces) of extinct animals are poor then this potentially means that our ability to reconstruct past behaviours, ecology and selective evolutionary pressures may also be limited.
To do this, Karl and Peter used a well-studied 'exemplar' taxon: Tyrannosaurus rex. T. rex has arguably been studied more intensively than any other extinct animal (maybe Australopithecus would give it a run for its money in this respect) for a number of reasons, but mostly because of its large body size, complete skeletons and of course it's celebratory status and popular appeal! However, what made T. rex interesting in this case was that recent computer modelling studies had applied extremely similar methods to estimate how hard T. rex could bite but arrived at very different quantitative predictions. In their new paper, Karl and Peter argue that by understanding why these studies arrived at different predictions, despite using the same methods, will tell us something important about how accurately and consistently we are using biomechanical modelling approaches to study extinct animals. So what did they find?
Figure 1: A computational biomechanical model of T. rex used to reconstruct jaw-closing muscles and estimate bite force (modified from Bates & Falkingham 2018).
In a nutshell, Karl and Peter argue that studies of bite force in T. rex have differed so considerably in their predictions because of different assumptions made about the length and arrangement of muscle fibres in the jaw-closing muscles of T. rex. The length and arrangement of fibres plays a really important role in how much force muscles can produce and subsequently on how hard an animal can bite. In this case, differences in the way previous studies had estimated fibre lengths and arrangements in the jaw muscles of T. rex were so great that their predictions of bite force varied by more than 50%! In attempt to improve this situation Karl and Peter analysed existing data from over 1000 muscles measured in living animals in an attempt to better predict muscle properties in T. rex. Unfortunately while this helped in some respects, this new analysis really highlights that more data is needed (particularly on jaw muscles from living animals). Karl and Peter went on to use their new fibre length data to remodel in T. rex and unfortunately showed that muscle fibre length and arrangement remains the biggest single source of uncertainty in bite force estimates. As always then – more research is needed.

Since the founding, Stanford University has provided on-campus housing for students. Today, all undergraduate students, most graduate students, and many graduate employees use campus housing. While not all graduate students are eligible for campus or subsidized off-campus housing, of those that are, only 64% are able to take advantage of this opportunity due to the limited housing stock. Student Housing at Stanford is currently part of Residential & Dining Enterprises, an in-house standalone vendor within the Stanford affiliated network of businesses.

Undergraduate housing is organized as being East Campus, West Campus, or the Row.  East Campus has the complexes of Stern, Wilbur, and Gerhard Casper Quad and the standalone dormitories of Branner, Toyon, Mirrielees, and Crothers.   West Campus has the complexes of Florence Moore Hall, Lagunita Court, and Governor's Corner and the standalone Roble Hall.  The Row is on the south-east to south side of campus and consists of about 3 dozen houses housing between 25 and 60 students each.  These include the 6 fraternity houses and 3 sorority houses (as of 2016/2017).  Married (or officially partnered) undergraduates or those with children are housed with graduate students.

Graduate housing consists of Escondido Village, Rains Houses, Kennedy Graduate Residences, Munger Graduate Residences, GSB (Graduate School of Business) Residences on East Campus and the Lyman Graduate Residences on West Campus.  Students with children live in family courtyards among the Escondido Village low-rises.   Due to the difficulty of finding reasonably priced off-campus housing and shortage of on-campus housing, Stanford has also leased a large number of off-campus apartments and subleases them to graduate students.  By 2020/2021 new buildings in the Escondido Village area will have been constructed for a net gain of 2,000 beds.

History
The architects of Stanford University originally proposed that student housing consist of cottages each housing 15 to 25 students with the cottages for the men to the south-east of the main quad of the university and for the women to the south-west.  The founders, Leland and Jane Stanford, rejected the idea and decided that the recently built Hôtel Kursaal de la Maloja in Switzerland would be the model for the original men's dorm, Encina Hall, housing 300.  Encina Hall proved problematic as a dorm and now houses administrative offices and the Political Science department.  Encina Hall was built well to the east of the Main Quad while the first women's dorm, the original Roble Hall, was built well to the west of the Main Quad just before the university opened in 1891 (about a half a mile separated the two halls).  The original Roble plans were shelved when it was realized that it could not be built before the university opened in 1891.  Jane Stanford insisted that both men and women be admitted in the first class and so new plans were drawn up for a building using Ernest L. Ransome's reinforced concrete instead of sandstone and it was built in 97 days.  Both original dorms were named in Spanish: Encina meaning Live Oak and Robles Blancho [sic] meaning White Oak according to Leland Stanford who decided on the names in 1891 (the latter name was presumably corrected and shortened to just Roble). The tradition of naming many student residences with Spanish names was established. The name, Roble Hall, was later moved to the current Roble Hall (built 1917) and the original building renamed Sequoia Hall, used as a men's dorm then the Statistics department, and eventually torn down in 1996.

East side Branner and Toyon Halls were built in the 1920s for men and west side Lagunita Court was built in the 1930s in part to house the growing number of women after the hard cap of 500 women students was partially lifted.  East side Stern and Wilbur halls were built in the 1940s again to house men and west side Florence Moore Hall in 1956 for women.  The later 1960s and early 1970s saw all the residence halls become co-ed.

One sign of Stanford's success in building on-campus student housing by the mid-1950s is that by the fall of 1954, 36.0% of Stanford students were housed in university-operated residence halls, while the equivalent number at archrival UC Berkeley was 4.8%.  Stanford then paused its construction program and no new halls were built for several decades, though the Manzanita trailer park was set up in 1969 to provide temporary housing.  In the early 1980s, west side Sterling Quad (Governor's Corner) was built and in the early 1990s east side Kimball, Castaño, and Lantana Halls were built on what had been the trailer park. In 2015 the new Ng House was opened and in 2016 the Manzanita Park complex was renamed Gerhard Casper Quad.

In addition to the residence halls, there are also the Row Houses for undergraduates; many were originally fraternity or sorority houses though only 9 of the current 35 are now occupied by Greek organizations.

Graduate student residence halls were built in the 1950s for male law students and engineers respectively (Crothers and Crothers Memorial which are now undergraduate residences). Most graduate housing consists of apartment complexes such as Lyman, opened in 1997, Munger, Rains, and GSB (the last has priority for business students). Beginning in the 1950s are the multitude of apartment buildings in Escondido Village which has many townhouses, known as "low-rises", where students with children can live and an elementary school, Escondido School which is part of the Palo Alto Unified School District.

A legacy issue with the pre-1978 construction is the widespread presence of exceptionally hazardous toxins in the building materials. Much of the housing stock retains lead paint and asbestos insulation. As the old housing stock is demolished and rebuilt, these toxins at time are released through carelessness into toxic dust clouds.

Shuttle service

Marguerite is the free shuttle service Stanford University offers to its students, faculty, staff, and the general public to get around campus or from campus to some off-campus locations such as the San Antonio Shopping Center, VA Palo Alto Hospital, Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC), Stanford Shopping Center, or the Palo Alto Transit Center.  It  started small in 1976 with the intent of cutting car traffic on campus; parking fees were started at the same time.  In 1989 the university wanted to expand but had to agree not to increase automobile traffic on campus at all to get planning permission from the county; among other methods it expanded the shuttle from commute hours only to all-day and increased the number of routes.  In the next 10 years ridership went from 700/day to 3,500/day.  In 2005 the number had risen to 4,800/day.  By 2013 the estimated number of passengers was 2.3 million/year (about 6,300/day).  Marguerite has also acquired hybrid and all-electric buses (total fleet as of June 2015 was 79 buses of which 13 were all-electric and 5 were hybrid).

The Marguerite shuttle is named for the four horse bus also called Marguerite run by Jasper Paulsen in the earliest days of the university; it initially cost 10 cents for students, 15 cents for others though the fare was later raised to 25 cents for everyone.

East Campus (undergraduate)

Branner Hall
Branner Hall was designated an all-freshman dorm in 2021 after Stanford implemented the neighborhood system. It was previously a coed upper-class (i.e., no freshmen) dormitory with a focus on public service. It houses 167 students, mostly in two-room triples. It is named after University President John Casper Branner. It was built in 1924 and was designed by the San Francisco firm of Bakewell and Brown. It was originally an all-male dormitory and later all-female before becoming coed.

Crothers Hall
Crothers Hall is an all freshman dorm, and the largest frosh dorm on Stanford's campus. It was re-designated an all-frosh dorm in 2021 under the new neighborhood system. It was previously upperclass residence and it occupies two buildings named Crothers Hall and Crothers Memorial (CroMem).  The dorm previously had a global citizenship focus.  Both Crothers Hall and Crothers Memorial are a mix of single rooms and one room doubles.  The dorm is named after an early student and later trustee of the university, George E. Crothers.  Both were originally built as graduate residences; Crothers Hall in 1948 for law students and Crothers Memorial in 1955 for engineering students (the latter provided the name for Cromemco, an early Silicon Valley company). They were designed by Eldridge Spencer and William Ambrose.

Gerhard Casper Quad
Gerhard Casper Quad consists of four houses: Kimball Hall, Castaño (Spanish for chestnut tree), Lantana, and Ng House (Humanities Theme), with a central Gerhard Casper Dining Commons.  Built on the site of the former student residence of Manzanita trailer park it was originally named Manzanita Park but was renamed after former university president Gerhard Casper in 2016.  Kimball Hall is named for the primary donors, William and Sara Kimball, and opened in 1991. Ng House was originally opened as the Humanities Theme Residence (aka Humanities House), and was renamed after the Ng family in 2016.  The house was completed in 2015 and was the first new undergraduate residence constructed on campus in 20 years. The three-story buildings of Gerhard Casper Quad house approximately 550 students, all upperclassmen (no freshmen), in a mix of single rooms, double rooms, and three-person quads.

Stern Hall

Lucie Stern Hall, named for a generous Stanford donor, was built in 1948 and renovated in 1995. Its style represents "Stanford's brief departure into architectural modernism" by not following the usual Stanford pattern of sandstone-colored, arcaded buildings with red tile roofs. It comprises six houses that each accommodate about 100 freshmen. The houses named for California pioneers are Burbank, named for Luther Burbank; Donner; Larkin; Sally Ride named for the Stanford graduate and astronaut (name changed in 2019 from Serra for Junípero Serra); and Twain, named for Mark Twain. The sixth house, originally Muir for John Muir, was renamed Casa Zapata in 1972 and has a Chicano-Latino cross-cultural theme.

Toyon Hall

Toyon Hall is an all-sophomore dorm, designed by Bakewell and Brown and built in 1923 to house 150 men. Toyon was the home of the Stanford Eating Clubs, a system of originally all-male organizations which served a social function as well as a food service plan. The eating clubs became co-ed during the 1970s, and the eating club system was abolished in 2009.

Wilbur Hall

Wilbur Hall houses 707 students in eight houses surrounding a common dining complex. It is named for Stanford's third president, Ray Lyman Wilbur. It was built in the late 1940s and represents an architectural departure from Stanford's usual theme of sandstone-colored, arcaded buildings with red tile roofs. Originally built for male students, it is now coed. The houses were named in Spanish.
Arroyo means creek.
Cedro means cedar but was also the name of a cottage on the Stanford land where Charles Lathrop, Jane Stanford's brother, lived.
Junipero means juniper.
Otero is small hill in Spanish.
Rinconada is named for the local Spanish land grant, Rancho Rinconada del Arroyo de San Francisquito, but, the word also means 'angle'.
Soto means thicket.
Trancos is for another house that had existed on the Stanford land, Los Trancos Villa; tranco itself means threshold.  The last house, Okada, was originally named Madera for another local land grant, Rancho Corte de Madera, but was renamed Okada when it became the Asian American cross-cultural theme house.

While Wilbur Hall has, at times, hosted a mix of upperclassmen and underclassmen, the Wilbur residences are now all freshmen dorms except the four-class Asian American theme house, Okada, and the upperclass only house, Trancos.

West Campus (undergraduate)

Florence Moore Hall

Florence Moore Hall, often abbreviated as FloMo, consists of seven different houses: Alondra, Cardenal, Faisan, Gavilan, Loro, Mirlo, and Paloma. It was built in 1956 as a women's dormitory; today all seven buildings are co-ed. Three of the houses are the home of the Structured Liberal Education program.

Governor's Corner

Sterling Quad

Sterling Quad was built in 1982-83, making it one of the newest dormitories on campus. It comprises four houses: Adams, Schiff, Robinson, and Potter. The four houses share a dining and performance hall called Ricker Center. Sterling Quad is named for J. E. Wallace Sterling, former president of the University (1949–1968). Adams is named for Ephraim Douglass Adams, a history professor who was also the first chairman of the Hoover Institution Library and Archives. Schiff is named after physics professor Leonard I. Schiff, who was the first chair of the Faculty Senate at Stanford. Potter is named for history professor David M. Potter and Robinson for yet another history professor Edgar Eugene Robinson, who chaired the Independent Study Program, precursor to the present Departmental Honors program.

Freshman-Sophomore College

From 1999 - 2020, Adams and Schiff formed what was known as the Freshman-Sophomore College (FroSoCo), a two-year residential college. FroSoCo housed approximately 100 freshmen (by application only) and 60 sophomores (choosing to return after living there as freshmen). It attempted to provide "the vibrant residential intellectual community of a small, elite, liberal-arts college while providing enhanced access to the academic resources of one of the world's premier research universities". As a result of Stanford's Neighborhood System, Adams and Schiff have since become independent of each other and each house ~100 freshman and upperclass students in a non-themed environment.

Suites

The suites are apartment-style houses for upperclass students and are housed in Anderson, Griffin, Jenkins and Marx (a theme house). The names of the suites honor former Stanford academic leaders and faculty members: Melville Best Anderson, the first head of the English department; James Owen Griffin, who was invited by President Jordan as one of the first faculty; Oliver Peebles Jenkins, first professor of Physiology and Zoology; and Charles David Marx, the first professor of Civil Engineering. Meals for the suites are served in four Dining Clubs: Avanti, Beefeater, Bollard and Middle Earth.

Independent houses
The independent houses are Yost, Murray, and EAST Houses. EAST is a theme house with an orientation toward teaching and education; the name stands for Education and Society Theme House.

Lagunita Court
Lagunita Court, usually called "Lag" (pronounced "log"), was built in the 1930s and renovated in 1998. It is named for the adjacent, seasonal lake Lagunita. It originally consisted of six small residential buildings, or "houses", arranged around a central courtyard; the houses were all initially given names of trees in Spanish. These houses are  Eucalipto (eucalyptus), Granada (pomegranate) and Adelfa (oleander) on the west side, and Naranja (orange) and Ujamaa (which consists of two buildings formerly named Olivo and Magnolia) on the east. Ujamaa (Swahili for extended family) is the home of the African American theme program and Adelfa has a writing focus. In the autumn of 2016 two new houses were added to the complex: Meier Hall named for Linda and Tony Meier in East Lag and Norcliffe Hall named in honor of the Norcliffe Foundation in West Lag. Originally built for women students, Lag is now coed.

Roble Hall

Roble Hall, built in 1917 and designed by architect George W. Kelham, is the oldest dormitory at Stanford still in use as a dormitory. It was built as a women's dormitory and later was used exclusively for freshman women; it was converted to a coed residence in 1968.

The Row
The Row is made up of 36 student-managed houses, from the Cowell Cluster to the Lake Houses and all along Mayfield Avenue, with a total population of a little over 1600 students. Houses range in occupancy from 30 to 65. Out of the 35 Row houses, there are seven co-ops in which the students do their own cooking and cleaning (Synergy, Columbae, 576 Alvarado, Hammarskjold, Enchanted Broccoli Forest, Terra, and Kairos), 19 self-ops in which the cooking is done by a hired cook, and nine Greek houses.   All of the row houses are owned by the university, except 550 Mayfield which was formerly home to fraternity members of Sigma Chi.

All Row houses set and collect their own board bills. To accomplish this, a Resident Assistant is selected by the Associate Director on the Row and each Row house has Student Managers (selected by their peers) to oversee the operations of the house. The Assistant Director for Student Management, located in the Row Office, oversees and advises Student Managers.  Many of the row houses also have eating associates who are students living elsewhere but choose to participate in a row house.

Student Managers are part of the residence staff leadership team which is coordinated by the Resident Assistant (RA). As a part of the house leadership team they are expected to maintain regular communication with each other, the RA, the residents and to engage residents in the important decisions about house management and the use of house monies.

Many of the Stanford row houses have hosted different organizations throughout the years. Current day Haus Mitteleuropa originally housed the Delta Delta Delta sorority and Slavianskii Dom originally housed the Alpha Phi sorority.

China accuses India of conducting 'flagrant provocations' as simmering border standoff heats up
8:03am Sep 2, 2020
An Army convoy passes through Gagangeer along a highway leading to Ladakh on September 1.
China's government has accused Indian troops of illegally trespassing onto Chinese territory, in comments that could set the stage for a second tense border standoff between the two nuclear powers in just three months.
In a statement a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in India said that Indian forces had "conducted flagrant provocations" over the weekend "which again stirred tension in the border areas".
According to China, Indian troops deliberately crossed the 3379 kilometre de facto border between the two countries, known as the Line of Actual Control, near Pangong Tso, a strategically located lake some 4.2 kilometres) above sea level in the Himalayas.

China and India have been sparring over the area that surrounds the lake since the two fought the first of several border wars in 1962. The Line of Actual Control, which passes through Pangong Tso, was established in the wake of the original conflict, but it's not an exact border. Though it shows up on maps, India and China do not agree on its precise location and both regularly accuse the other of overstepping it, or seeking to expand their territory.
Tuesday's comments are the latest in a string of accusations and counter accusations. On Monday, India's Defence Ministry leveled a vague charge against the Chinese People's Liberation Army, accusing its troops of carrying out "provocative military movements to change the status quo."
The Defence Ministry said that Indian troops preempted Chinese military activity and undertook measures to "thwart Chinese intentions to unilaterally change facts on the ground." Though the ministry did not comment on the specifics of the operation, in a statement, it said troops had undertaken measures to strengthen their position on the southern bank of Pangong Tso.
China's Foreign Ministry denied any incursion into Indian territory, and the country's military and diplomatic officials are now accusing Indian troops of crossing the line.
"India's move has grossly violated China's territorial sovereignty," the embassy spokesperson said. "China has made solemn representations to the Indian side, urged the Indian side to strictly control and restrain its frontline troops, earnestly honor its commitments, immediately stop all the provocative actions, immediately withdraw its troops illegally trespassing the Line of Actual Control, immediately stop any actions leading to the escalation and complication of the situation."

Area of strategic importance
Pangong Tso is a long V-shaped body of water located south of the Galwan Valley. Though most of it lies in the Chinese region of Tibet, the portion that India controls is strategically important as it allows Indian forces to move into striking distance of a key Chinese mountain highway linking the western regions of Tibet and Xinjiang, said Bharat Karnad, an expert in national security affiliated with the Indian Center for Policy Research.
But while Pangong Tso's tactical importance may not have changed in nearly six decades, "the stakes are higher" now than ever, Karnad said.
For India, the lake also serves as an important buffer to help defend the nearby region of Ladakh. According to Manoj Joshi a distinguished fellow at the Observer Research Foundation, a New Delhi-based think tank, the lake is a very obvious ingress route for military units looking to dominate or capture Leh, the largest town in Ladakh. "From a military stance, that's why it was defended strongly in 1962," said Joshi.
This weekend's incident is the latest in a long-running series of territorial flare-ups between the two sides in the Himalayas, and the second since June.
But analysts fear that rising nationalist forces in the world's two most populous countries could fuel these simmering border disputes, especially as both sides look to distract the public from the economic and human costs of the Covid-19 pandemic.
At least 20 Indian soldiers were killed during a bloody hand-to-hand standoff in the Galwan Valley not far from Pangong Tso in June. China has never acknowledged any casualties from that clash.
The situation was temporarily resolved after the two sides engaged in talks and withdrew soldiers. While dialogue between frontline commanders has typically been a means for deescalation, the recent spike in tensions suggest that a more comprehensive diplomatic solution may be required.
Australia is officially in a recession. In 2020 do you personally feel:
WORSE OFF
THE SAME AS 2019
Karnad said that the likelihood of further clashes will decrease in the coming weeks, as the frigid Himalayan winter sets in, but warned that border disputes could become something of a new normal if there are no major strategic changes on either side.

I have never had a strong love for alcohol. When we cook a nice meal I love a glass of wine that complements the flavor of the food. We also love trying different wines from around the country. Our favorite wines have been from local wineries within the US. Flip Flop wine does come from a local wineary. Flip Flop winary really wants you to get the most out of their wine. All their labels have a description of the flavor, recommendation of room temperature for storage and a food recommendation for each flavor.
When I heard of flip flop wine there was one important thing that really stood out to me. They are involved in giving back with the Soles for Souls program. Right when I heard that they are involved in the product I knew that I would always purchase their product. For every bottle sold, soles for souls will donate a pair of shoes to a child in need.
If you want to try flip flop wine you can purchase it online or find it at your local store. You can get it in a chardonnay, Riesling, Pino Grigio, Moscato, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a Pinot Noir. My favorite wine is the Pino Grigio. It was so light and refreshing. Since I love a Pinot Grigio, I recently watched this video filmed by the owner David Georges. One thing I love about the owner is that he was an organic vegetable farmer - wish vegetable farming is a hobby of mine too.
After David Georges planted a small vineyard on his farm, he became fascinated with wine. He definitely has a talent for wine making, because this was some of the best wine I have had the pleasure of enjoying.
Flip Flip Pino Grigio is now my preferred wine. I cannot picture purchasing a different brand after trying flip flop wines. It was so light and refreshing, truly a wine perfect for any occassion.
We were provided with a sample for review purposes only. All our photos, thoughts and opinions are of our own.
I have never heard of Flip Flop wines, but the name and label alone make me want to try it!

Recreational cannabis store Quadz Cannabis has applied to occupy the former location of MMJ Canada. File photo
Cannabis outlet requests to take over MMJ Canada location
Quadz Cannabis has applied for a licence from the city
Nelson Star Staff
A new recreational cannabis store has applied to occupy the same space that previously housed another pot shop closed down by Nelson police last year.
Quadz Cannabis has submitted a licence application to the city for 752 Vernon St. with a request to operate 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week.
If approved, the business would take over the previous home of MMJ Canada, which was shut down following a raid by the Nelson Police Department on March 20, 2018.
Five employees were arrested at the time, although the police are still waiting for charges to be approved by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.
The location request also puts Quadz Cannabis at odds with the city's recreational cannabis store zoning bylaw.
In February, Nelson council approved applications from Green Room and Nelson Potorium for the max two stores allowed to operate downtown, which is the same zone Quadz Cannabis is requesting to open up in.
A third store, Buddy's Place (formerly known as Leaf Cross), was also given a three-year temporary use permit that will allow it to keep operating at 356 Baker St.

The city also previously set aside one location each in the Nelson Ave., Railtown and lakeside/industrial zones, the latter of which has already been taken by Kootenays Cannabis Tree.
Proposed recreational cannabis stores must first pass a screening process with the provincial government. After that, the application moves to the proposed municipality for approval, which then recommends successful applicants for licensing from the province.

God is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.
God is composed of 1 name.


1. What do you think of when you hear the word mirror?
When people see a mirror their first instinct is to see how they look. A mirror shows you your reflection, it shows you if you're dirty or clean and it reflects what you really look like. Whenever we read the Bible we should reflect and see how we look, how we're doing in our walk, if we're dirty or clean etc. There's been many times when I feel like I'm doing so great in my walk and then God reminds me that there are some areas that I need to improve. It's not about what we see when we look in the mirror, but what does God see? (Proverbs 16:2- We can always "prove" that we are right, but is the Lord convinced?) We can convince ourselves that we look good and are good people, but does God agree?
The rich young man thought he was a good person, because he followed the commandments but he couldn't even give his money to the poor. (Proverbs 21:2- We can justify our every deed, but God looks at our motives.) God loved us so much that He GAVE. Do you give to others without expecting something in return? That's what God did, He gave us His Son even though He knew that people would still reject Him, that people still wouldn't give up their life for Him. How often do you do a heart check, a self evaluation which is looking at your progress, development and learning to determine what has improved and what areas still need improvement.
2. How have you improved since giving your life to Christ? What areas do you still need to improve?
(Hebrews 4:12- For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.) When we read the Bible, it's like looking into a mirror. Sometimes you read something and feel convicted because it's exposing the bad things in your life that God doesn't like. Conviction is a good thing though, we should be happy when something convicts us because it lets us know what we need to do to please God and also reassures us that there's still more in our lives that we need to improve.
3. What's the difference between conviction and condemnation?
Sometimes when I reflect on how far God has brought me it makes me emotional. I look back at the old me and don't even recognize who I was. The devil will always try to remind you of your past, but your past no longer defines you, you're a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17- When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!) I saw a tweet that said "The Bible really has become my mirror. If what I'm hearing about myself doesn't match what God's Word says, it's a lie." and there's so much truth in that.
4. Check out the video below. What did y'all think about that? What stood out to you?
How you treat people is a reflection of you.
This is just a reminder that we are not as good as we think we are and that there will always be room for improvement. We need to examine ourselves, make sure that we're reflecting Christ and He is pleased with our life.
5. What did you learn from today's lesson? What stood out to you?


After a long day of appointments, Breyan Haizlip sat in her office, the room radiating essential oils, the walls covered with banners of different chakras. The assistant professor at Fairhaven College describes herself as a seer-sage-scientist, combining her knowledge of neuroscience with her healing nature.
On Tuesday, Jan. 22, Haizlip's family was kicked out of their daughter's basketball game at Squalicum High School in an event the school has since described as "racially motivated." Three days earlier, on Jan. 19, Breyan was awarded the 2019 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Award by the Whatcom Human Rights Task Force at the organization's Unity Ball. The Unity Ball came after the 21st annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Human Rights Saturday Conference, a day-long conference with workshops and community resource tables.
Amanda Grelock, head of diversity and inclusion at the Community Food Co-op and one of the organizers of the Unity Ball, said Haizlip was chosen as this year's recipient because she wants to make Bellingham's community better. Grelock said when she is faced with difficult conversations, Haizlip always leans in and listens.
After moving to Bellingham with her husband, Adam Haizlip, and three daughters just over a year ago, Breyan has brought her work to more than just Western students. She said she also works with the community through Momentum Counseling and Consulting, her private practice.
Breyan said her counseling work in Bellingham began when the Community Food Co-op asked her to host an event because they were having issues with discrimination and connecting with the community. Breyan said any work she does begins with assessment, which is why the first step she took was organizing and facilitating a town hall meeting in February 2018 where people could voice their concerns and help the Co-op become a more socially responsible business.
Breyan said after the town hall, she was approached by people who wanted to work with her privately. So, in August 2018, Breyan decided to open a small practice in downtown Fairhaven.
"I was kind of on this adventure of [asking] what happens if I just say yes to what life asks of me and instead of always asking my life for something," Breyan said.
After receiving an overwhelming response to her practice, Breyan moved to a larger location on Lincoln Street in January 2019, where she also offers small classes ranging from open journal nights to diversity trainings.
Breyan said coming to teach at Western was a gift she gave to herself. She said teaching psychology in Fairhaven College allows her to teach without boundaries, something she has struggled with at other institutions.
Since starting in October 2017, Breyan has taught a variety of psychology courses at Fairhaven, including the psychology of race and racism, the psychology of love, lust and attraction, and analysis of individual identity. Breyan said no matter what topic she's teaching, every course begins with practicing meditation and making sure her students understand how the brain works.
Naomi Edelstein, a fourth-year Fairhaven student studying somatic sexology, described Breyan as a goddess. Edelstein, who has been a student of Breyan's for over a year, said her professor radiates love and honesty.
Breyan and her husband, Adam Haizlip, are also part of the Whatcom Diversity Academy, a cooperative of training consultants who help organizations develop leadership through culturally responsive and multicultural training, according to their website.
Adam is also a professor at Fairhaven College, and is currently teaching a course called the African American Experience. Both Breyan and Adam participated in the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Human Rights Saturday Conference on Jan. 19, where they spoke and held workshops on equity, diversity and inclusion. That evening at the Unity Ball, Breyan received the Unity Award.
Three days later, on Tuesday, Jan. 22, Adam and his family were removed from his daughter's Squalicum High School varsity basketball game after he asked the referee about a foul call made in the game.
Spectators watched uncomfortably, but did nothing, as the African-American father of three was escorted out of the gym, according to a brief written by the principal of the high school, Miguel Perez. In the communication to students and parents, Perez said the incident appeared to be racially motivated.
On Saturday, Jan. 28, 121 people showed up to the same gym to support the Haizlip family and the varsity girls' basketball team, carrying signs of solidarity and encouragement.
"We cheered without anybody worrying we were going to get kicked out," Breyan said tearfully of Saturday night's game.
Breyan watched her husband and daughters pick up garbage left behind in the emptied out gym, long after the game had ended and the euphoria of the home team's win had worn off. Adam, a former high school and collegiate athlete, never misses one of his daughter's games, she said.
Adam also encouraged the rival team, congratulating the girls on scoring plays.
Another supporter, Crystal Bevis, described the Saturday game as peaceful and supportive. Bevis, who has lived in Bellingham for over 20 years, said she was sad to hear about the incident on Tuesday, but she wasn't surprised.
"I've had experiences like that living here, even though I love it," Bevis said.
Although the situation was traumatic for the Haizlips, both parents said they were grateful the incident happened to them because they have the resources, training and patience necessary to deal with the aftermath of a racially-charged situation.
Squalicum High School's Communications Manager Dana Smith said as a former teacher in the school system, she was saddened to hear about the incident.
Since the incident, the Haizlips have been working with the Bellingham School District to instill a curriculum called Cultural Responsivity Training for Educators (CRTE), they said. Breyan said the curriculum treats racism as a wound and the training as healing work.
Edelstein, who has been a student of Breyan's for over a year, said her heart dropped when she heard about the incident. Breyan read her Facebook post to the class after the incident, Edelstein said.
To Breyan, the incident was a beautiful opportunity to grow, she said.
Sitting on the lime green couch in her office days after her family's demonstration, Breyan reflected on what real change would look like. She said if school districts or government officials want to address their equity, diversity and inclusion problems, they have to include the people who are most impacted.
Breyan said she wants her family to have a seat at the table when these discussions are happening, and because she happens to be an psychology nerd, she is uniquely equipped to help Bellingham schools address these issues.
this article is actually lowkey problematic ( but no shocker ) and came at an interesting time considering the professor recently literally bullied a black wwu student on Facebook live during a class and had her students record it and post it.. but mercy, not hate!!!
I think the article said that she teaches psychology courses in Fairhaven College, but it seems to be about community recognition from the Whatcom Human Rights Task Force and Unity Ball organizers, of a female professor's equity and inclusion work in the Bellingham community. She received the award and then organized a peaceful rally to support men of color having the right to feel safe at School District games. I attended the rally and it was incredible to see our community come together in that way to support a black family. Why would you attack this woman and her family with accusations about something completely unrelated to the article? Why would you attempt to discredit a black families efforts in Bellingham or minimize the racially motivated discrimination that she and her family experienced in our town? Your comments seem like another attack on this female professor, her husband who is also an instructor, and the community groups that recognized her effort as having done some good. It's a good thing that they responded peacefully and with resilience in a situation that was clearly racial discrimination admitted by Bellingham School District administration in a public letter. We can all learn from that. Your comments are just an example of what happens to woman and the FEW black families in our community that want to help. If the Bellingham and Whatcom community thought she was deserving because of the work she is doing OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM then you should not attack her or her family for doing that work. It's what many of us want to see in our community. This is sad. I hope this family remains in Bellingham and at Western. We need families of color to participate in any way they are willing to. When do we get tired of running people of color and women of color out of our community? This hostility towards her and her family is just terrible.
My critique is the characterization of this professor. I have experience with Fairhaven and these quotes are cherry picking, at best. Many other students have terrible and inappropriate interactions with her.
She's also not a psychologist, she's a counselor educator. Counselor educators are not trained with the same rigor regarding research and teaching. (Check her CV, if you can find it, which should be easily searchable if you're a faculty member.) Her classes are nothing more than group therapy she tries to mask as a teaching style, yet never offers any sources demonstrating the efficacy and safety of the method.
It is interesting how you are making comments about someone's livelihood, characterization, and credibility by hearing accounts from students and not from your own account. I would suggest that you sit down and have conversation with Dr. Haizlip before going in for the attack based off other people situations. From your comment it looks like you maybe cherry picking what you want to write and not using necessary critical thinking skills i.e.speaking from your own experience.
From what I know I have the complete opposite experience with Dr. Haizlip in the professional realm. The experiences I've had with her have been nothing but life changing. She approaches every situation with heart and challenges students to think beyond the bias's and institutional behavior that has been programmed by our education system. The above article is my opinion is right on and actually doesn't give enough into the amazing work Dr. Haizlip does for our community.
Also, take in mind just because someone is not trained in what you think rigor and research should look like does not mean they are not equipped to do the job. There are many people in our systems who have what you think are the accreditation needed to do a job and are not even showing up in an ounce of the way that Dr. Haizlip does.
I encourage you to have more conversations.
Unfortunately that's the way it be in Bellingham for a long long time… there's always seem to be quite the disconnect between the university & the rest of town. In particular the white folks, who can be out right hostile to POC (Native, Black, & Latinos in particular).


Kelechi Iheanacho has completed his move to Leicester City from Manchester City.
The 20-year old sealed a five-year deal on Thursday after legal issues stalling the move were sorted.
The Nigeria international put pen-to-paper on a contract to 2022 and becomes the fourth addition to Craig Shakespeare's squad ahead of the new campaign.

Feeding America Names Walmart and Sam's Club Donor of the Year 2010
Walmart and Sam's Club have been named Donor of the Year by Feeding America, the nation's leading hunger-relief organization, after providing outstanding donations of food, funds and vehicles during 2009.
At the organization's annual conference tonight in Austin, Texas, which will include representatives from Feeding America's network of more than 200 food banks, Feeding America President and CEO Vicki Escarra will present the Donor of the Year award to Margaret McKenna, president of the Walmart Foundation.
"We are tremendously grateful to our committed partners in the fight against domestic hunger: Walmart and Sam's Club," Escarra said."With 49 million people struggling with hunger, our country is in crisis. Thanks to our dedicated partners at Walmart and Sam's Club, Feeding America and our network of food banks are able to provide nutritious food to millions more people in need."
Food donations from Walmart and Sam's Club during 2009 totaled a record 116-million pounds – the largest-ever annual food donation to Feeding America. The company is the first donor to provide more than 100-million pounds of food during one calendar year in Feeding America's history.
"In these economic times, we've challenged ourselves to look at ways to make long-lasting impacts in communities by focusing on programs that address critical needs. In this country, hunger may be one of the most critical needs of all," McKenna said."Our partnership with Feeding America is helping us do our part to put more food on the dinner table, and we'll continue to look for ways to bring our business and our charitable giving together to end hunger in the U.S."
In November, Walmart donated 35 brand new refrigerated trucks to Feeding America network food banks across the country. The trucks, valued at $3 million went to 35 food banks in 24 states loaded with Great Value-branded products and fresh apples. The trucks are estimated to enable the food banks to transport up to 52.5 million more pounds of food every year.
These refrigerated trucks provide safe and better access for people struggling with hunger to the healthy food that is needed most, as nutritious, protein-filled foods like meat and dairy are the most costly and least accessible for clients served through Feeding America's network.
In addition, donations to Feeding America from Walmart associates generated nearly $740,000 for Feeding America during 2009.
"We are so proud to announce Walmart and Sam's club as our Donor of the Year," Escarra said."The insightful, generous donations through this impactful partnership have been truly extraordinary. No American should go hungry, and we thank Walmart and Sam's Club for joining us in the fight against hunger."
Philanthropy at Walmart
Walmart and the Walmart Foundation are proud to support the charitable causes that are important to customers and associates in their own neighborhoods. The Walmart Foundation funds initiatives focused on education, workforce development, economic opportunity, environmental sustainability, and health and wellness. From Feb. 1, 2009, through Jan. 31, 2010, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation gave more than $512 million in cash and in-kind gifts globally, including donating 127 million pounds of nutritious food to U.S. food banks.

Taylor Swift Fans Have Big Feelings About Ticketmaster Crashing Due to "Historically Unprecedented Demand"
There was heartbreak.
(Image credit: Getty/Jamie McCarthy)
By Iris Goldsztajn
Basically every person in the country logged onto Ticketmaster on Tuesday in an attempt to score Taylor Swift Eras tour tickets. This, unsurprisingly, resulted in the event website crashing, to the great rage of thousands.
According to the Guardian, Ticketmaster's response was to claim there had been "historically unprecedented demand," which resulted in "intermittent issues" that they were "urgently" trying to fix.
The publication also reports that fans waited for as long as eight hours, with many not succeeding in buying tickets.
Despite efforts to avoid this, tickets are apparently available on resale sites for up to $22,700. (For scale, that's half the average car.)
Social media users are losing their minds over the whole affair, and have resorted to humor as a way to cope.
One fan wrote, "My favourite part of the day was Ticketmaster asking me if I wanted to add a vinyl to my $1300 purchase"

More seriously, others pointed out that there might be a political issue at play here—starting with congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who wrote, "Daily reminder that Ticketmaster is a monopoly, it's merger with LiveNation should never have been approved, and they need to be reigned in.
"Break them up."

Commenting on this, someone quipped, "You couldn't get tickets either huh?"
Culture writer Elamin Abdelmahmoud said, "Swifties being radicalized against monopolies and getting ready to do some anti-trust lobbying good luck ticketmaster"

We'll all be waiting to hear back from the White House.

Your roof needs repair, but you don't know where to start. The market seems to be overly saturated with contractors providing roofing services. Nevertheless, just as you thought, roofing companies are not the same. Lots of homeowners had a disappointing experience with the replacement of their roof.
It's imperative to realize how you can choose the best professional that will perform the work on your roof. The research will always be your friend, and you should inform yourself on how you may find the best roofer. Listed below are the suggestions to find the right contractor in your Leawood.
If you wish to search for somebody to take care of your roofing repair work, house owners should be confident that the contractors that they could employ will perform well. Everybody can say good things about themselves, but the only way to determine if they're the most suitable choice is through testimonies.
Happy clients will always be glad to refer a right roof contractor. You may still look for reviews online or ask the roofers to show you some references. A good roof specialist will surely be proud to present them to you. If they can't produce a single text or testimonial, consider a new contractor.
It's true that replacing a roof might be a quick job, but the quality will depend on how it is done. Protect yourself from uncomfortable surprises down the line by hiring a well-established, experienced and well-reviewed roofing specialist. Don't be taken in by the cheapest bidders.
When you're employing a roof specialist, insurance is vital. Ask your roofer for their liability insurance and worker's compensation. The best roofing contractors will always be more than pleased to explain to you that they have everything in place already that you need.
Nonetheless, it's better if you will not only ask for the insurance certificates, but also call the insurance company. Don't easily fall for the roofing companies. You must do this because if you will look for the best one, you already understand the things that you must do.
Beware of low bidders out there who provide lower rates due to expired worker's compensation or incomplete or nonexistent insurance coverage. If you'd like to trust someone, always check out the facts. This precaution will help you save your time and protect you from unexpected expenses.
If you wish to find a good roofing specialist, you need to know that roofing is a job that is required every few years. That means that after replacing your roof, most roofers are not likely to hear from you again. It says that they won't care about customer satisfaction compared to other companies.
Even so, it does not mean that there aren't any quality roofing companies out there. It is only a warning against the bad ones. Every year, a lot of house owners with limited knowledge of roofing choose the lowest price over quality of work, which brings them much grief later on when their roof leaks or worse.
You must pay more attention to the entire process of employing a good roof contractor and don't choose based on the price. It's imperative to collect proposals, seek out references, and testimonials. Always be cautious because if a roofer cannot provide any references from their customers, find a new one.
A lot of property owners do not realize that, but during roofing repairs, thousands of nails, debris from the stripped old roof, and bits from the materials used find themselves on to your lawn, grass, or driveway. This matter won't be your responsibility at all.
Roofing specialists are using a tool that will collect metal pieces. It is composed of a big magnet that moves on wheels and while it passes your yard, it'll remove the remains of the roofing job. If it will not be done adequately, the nails and sharp debris will cause injury to your car tires.
You shouldn't pay the roofing companies until the big magnet is used in the yard. Some contractors forget to bring it at times or do not clean up correctly. Hold off payment until your backyard is clear.
You should always take notice of the weather-proofing of your roof. Actively seek out and choose qualified roofing companies, which can display experience, transparency and prove they will do an excellent job on your roof. Ensure that you invest in high-quality materials and ask for references beforehand.
Roofers should present you with their certification and license, in addition to testimonies from previous happy customers. You could ask for warranty and proof that they've got insurance.
If you find yourself needing roof repairs in Leawood, or want to learn more, feel free to give us a call at 816-331-7663 today. We will be happy to answer your questions and provide roof inspection completely free of charge.


A predictive dialler, whether a dedicated system or a capability of a CTI system or ACD, is used to make a large volume of call attempts and connect only answered calls to agents. The market for predictive diallers has, to date, been relatively modest, but the advent of diallers in a software-only configuration has the potential to extent the cost effectiveness of such systems to smaller call centres.
Occidental Communications has undertaken projects involving the acquisition of a predictive dialling capability for some clients, and has reviewed and made recommendations concerning the use of diallers for others.
Concerto Software has been renamed Aspect Software and both products have been discontinued.
A predictive dialler with its own trunks, that makes its own calls, connects them to the PABX through voice circuits and uses CTI to instruct the PABX to connect them to agents and that can also be deployed in a software-only configuration and targeted at the SME market.
A predictive dialler/PC-based telephone system that also offers inbound CTI functions and IVR, and optional audio call recording, text chat, routing of e-mails to agents and off-switch ACD.

Britain's Oldest Dog, a Terrier Named Jack, Tragically Dies at 25
He was mauled by another dog on his morning walk.

Owners of the UK's oldest dog are devastated this week after the 25-year-old Yorkshire terrier named Jack was reportedly mauled to death by another dog. According to the Northern Echo, Jack was out for a walk Monday morning when a black Lakeland terrier attacked, biting the elderly pup.
The terrier's 70-year-old owner, Ray Bunn, tried to save him, to no avail.
"I was desperate to get the dog off Jack. I punched it, but it was about three minutes before it let go," said Bunn. "Jack was bleeding heavily but still breathing. Someone had a blanket and we wrapped him up and put him in the back of the car."
Jack died before they could make it to a veterinarian.
"I am still in shock," said Bunn. "We expected Jack to die quietly in his sleep, not in this horrible, violent way."
"Jack was a part of our family, and we just can't believe he has gone. He was the oldest dog in the country and for him to die in this way is a tragedy."
The incident has been reported to the police. Sadly, the Bunns won't be getting another dog anytime soon. According to Ray's wife Mary, Jack was "irreplaceable."
Reports of Jack's age range from 24-26, as the terrier was rescued from abandonment around age ten. There's no record of his official age, but if Jack was in fact 26 (a cool 117 in dog years), he was not only the oldest dog in Britain, but one of the oldest in the world.

East Texas health experts warn flu season is ramping up early
According to the Department of State Health Services, cases of flu-like illnesses at the start of the flu season have doubled since before the pandemic. In Octo
By Lexi Vennetti

TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - While flu season is just starting, case counts have ramped up early. According to the CDC, it's been more than a decade since flu hospitalization rates have been this high, this early in the season.
According to NET Health's Director of Public Health Emergency Preparedness Russell Hopkins, flu season is typically October to April.
"We're seeing entry into the flu season at a higher level than normal," Hopkins said.
According to the Department of State Health Services, cases of flu-like illnesses at the start of the flu season have doubled since before the pandemic. In October 2019, DSHS reports the percentage of visits to the hospital for the flu was 2%. This October, that number is at 4%, a concern as flu season has just started.
"Just where we're entering into the season is concerning because it's just going to get colder, wetter, and people are going to congregate more," Hopkins said.
According to the CDC, there have been at least 880,000 illnesses, nearly 7,000 hospitalizations, and 360 deaths from flu in the US so far this season.
"That is a pretty good sign that it's both easily infectious and pretty prone to make people sick," UT Health East Texas Regional Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tom Cummins said.
In 2020, Hopkins said cases were down when we saw more masks and hand washing, "That should translate into mitigation and flu cases, but we haven't seen that."
So why are flu cases at a higher rater earlier in the season?
"I'm not real sure, although some of the circumstantial evidence is we had an early freeze," Hopkins said. "It may be a more variant strand of the flu, or strain of the flu that we've seen in a while, but time will tell," Dr. Cummins said.
Both Hopkins and Dr. Cummins said in the meantime, the best thing to do is to get a flu vaccine.
"It does help decrease the severity of your symptoms and decrease the likelihood of being hospitalized," Dr. Cummins said.

Tokyo Olympic organizers lean away from spring, eyeing summer dates
Tokyo Olympic organizers seem to be leaning away from starting the rescheduled games in the spring of 2021. More and more the signs point toward the summer of 2021.
Organizing committee President Yoshiro Mori suggested there would be no major change from 2020.
"The games are meant to be in summer, so we should be thinking of a time between June and September," Japanese news agency Kyodo reported Mori saying on Saturday.
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, after the postponement was announced in Switzerland on Tuesday, left open the possibility of spring dates.
The postponed games were to have opened on July 24 and closed on Aug. 9. Mori suggested some decisions could be made as early as this week when the organizing committee's executive board meets.
Any final decision will be made between local organizers and the IOC, and hundreds of sponsors, sports federations and broadcasters.
Athletes have been left in limbo by the postponement. Many have been forced to stop training because of the spreading coronavirus virus. Even those who can train have no idea about how to schedule training to reach peak fitness at the right time.
Tax payers likely to foot bill
Mori and organizing committee CEO Toshiro Muto have both said the added cost of rescheduling will be "enormous." Early estimates put those costs at between $2-3 billion US with the several levels of Japanese governments likely to foot most of the bills.
Tokyo organizers say they are spending $12.6 billion to stage the games. However, a government audit report said it will cost at least twice that much. All but $5.6 billion is public money.
The Switzerland-based IOC has contributed $1.3 billion to organize the Tokyo Olympics, according local organizing committee documents. It has a reserve fund of about $2 billion for such emergencies and also has insurance coverage.

I lift you both up before the throne of Grace.
Years ago when I was preparing the young man for Senior High School, I wished he will attend Bishop Herman College in Kpando like the General.
That was not to be. He will hear nothing of it. Why, he wanted to attend "Kofi Annan's school", Mfantsipim School. You had become the Secretary General and he read in the Newspaper that you attended that school.
His tears and pleas went on the whole night. I had to back off and allow him to choose Mfantsipim and with the help of Prof Martin Owusu, himself an old boy of same school, his dream became a reality.
Fast forward, through the help of Mawuena and Johanna, I was invited to Switzerland for a conference. I sat at the lounge in the airport reading while waiting for my luggage.
I noticed someone standing by me, I lifted my head to see who it was … I screamed! It was The Kofi Annan! My God. Did I make a fool of myself!. I never thought I would be starstruck in my life.
I narrated the Mfantsipim story and he said let's take a picture for him. How kind! Kofi Annan was more than I imagined. I asked him how he managed to keep so calm and he just smiled and said, "it is for my own good to be calm no matter what".
So when I received the invitation to join you both to promote the Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato, I felt so honoured and blessed.
Since you left this world, I have been pondering on what I know about you as a person, the Secretary General and the man post official appointment. I have come to the realization that we can avail ourselves to do God's work on earth with grace not pride.
I recall the conversation we had in Switzerland, Sogakope and in Abor. I will cherish these memories for the rest of my life.
Yesterday, sister Veronica Konu, aka Vekon Bakery and I reminisced about you both….when I stop by hers on my eat back to Accra, Ghana.
I am sad that you are gone.
I wish you all, the living and the dead, the best. May you soldier on with grace even in heaven and may we who are left behind learn a thing or two from the way you lived.
Say hello to my mom…if and when you see her.
