Kidman is the only reason to see 'Destroyer,' but she's a pretty good reason

At first, it just seems like a glamorous actress playing dress-up. Nicole Kidman is a mess. She has dark hair that's either a wig or styled to look like a wig. Nasty things have been done to her face — she has been made to look older and to have bad skin. And the movie, "Destroyer," luxuriates in long close-ups that show that, even on a sunny day, for this woman it is always four in the morning, and she can never stop thinking about every rotten thing she ever did in her life.
Yet gradually, as the pieces fill in, we realize that everything Kidman is doing, every aspect of this character's misery, has been earned. What we're seeing, in Kidman's face and bearing, is the internalization and expression of a woman's life history. And as we learn more, everything Kidman does makes psychological sense and even seems inspired.
Whether you'll want to share Kidman's descent into the depths of rage, self-hatred and regret is another question. It's not enough to say "Destroyer" is a downer. "Destroyer" makes "Manchester by the Sea" seem like an afternoon party with clowns and balloon animals. But if there's a reason to see "Destroyer," it's for Kidman's performance. It's to take that journey with her.
The nice thing about Kidman, and this has been true since the beginning of her career, is that despite her porcelain exterior, she is always at her best playing the disturbed, the strange and the eccentric. In terms of acting, this is her true street address. And so, in the first scene of "Destroyer," she stumbles out of a car and walks up to a crime scene, and to the audience's surprise, the cops recognize her and let her in. She's a homicide detective. She inspects the body, mumbles something about how she might have an idea of who did this, and goes off, walking unsteadily, to begin her investigation.
"Destroyer" takes place in two different time periods. In the modern-day scenes, Erin (that is, Kidman) is in search of Silas (Toby Kebbell), a sadistic bank robber and murderer, and the man who pretty much wrecked her life. These scenes are intercut by frequent flashbacks to 15 years earlier, when Erin and her one true love (Sebastian Stan) were working undercover within Silas' gang, as they planned a bank heist. As the movie goes on, the flashbacks illuminate what's going on in the present.
The film has two big weaknesses and two great strengths. The first weakness is that it's slow. The second is that it seems even slower than it is, because the thing that it's slowly revealing — how did Erin end up this way? — isn't the primary concern of the audience. In fact, the movie creates no passionate interest or concern within the viewer, at all. Sure, we kind of hope Erin finds the guy she's looking for. Sure, we're willing to discover whatever ghastly thing is hiding in her past. But neither element is urgent. Nothing matters so much that it has to happen now, rather than later.

As for the strengths, there's Kidman, of course, but also the movie's tendency to come up with strong, unexpected scenes. These scenes have no cumulative impact because, in terms of story, they don't build off of each other, and thus seem incidental. Nonetheless, the scene in which Silas browbeats one of his crew into playing Russian roulette instantly establishes Silas' evil nature. A scene between Erin and her daughter (Jade Pettyjohn), near the end of the film, is a brilliant showcase for Kidman's quiet intensity. And the flashback to the heist beautifully highlights Kidman's ability to show horrified panic through a controlled surface.
None of that quite adds up to a recommendation, because a motion picture has to be the sum of its parts. Still, for an almost-good movie, "Destroyer" has some very good things in it.

Why call it "Stealth", when it's the exact opposite of staying hidden?
MSO Unveils F1 GTR-Inspired "Stealth Theme" McLaren 720S Performance
Sanjoy Alexander
Celebrating the 1995 Le Mans winner F1 GTR, the one-off McLaren 720S Performance from MSO is not going to be that easy to hide from car spotters.
After its launch last year, the McLaren 720S has been to the MSO wing for a handful of times. Special editions like the Track, Pacific and Velocity came out of those visits. And now, this one-off "Stealth" themed 720S is the all-new member of the McLaren Special Operations club.
Commissioned by McLaren London, the car comes finished in Sarthe Grey paint, with Vermillion Red highlights. Inspiration was drawn from the McLaren F1 GTR which charged to victory on the Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe in 1995.
Fun fact. Those Vermillion Red highlights aren't stickers. It took the experts at MSO a total of 200 hours to carefully hand paint them all.
Sitting on special 10-spoke lightweight MSO Satin Black wheels, each of them flaunting a single red spoke and a red outer rim, the Stealth has carbon-fiber trim on the upper rear deck, front and rear air intakes and wing mirrors.
The stealth one-off is based on the Performance trim and has acres of leather and Alcantara inside. The red and satin black theme continues its rule on the inside too with contrast stitching and material.
There aren't any performance updates. So the 710 hp twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 remains the same. But when it can do 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds and clock top speed of 212 mph, there isn't any scope to brood.
Price is still under the wraps. But MSO is clearly going to charge a hefty premium over the £218,020 tag of the standard McLaren 720S Performance.

What is the Crime Victims' Assistance Program?
As part of the District Attorney's Office, this program is available to assist victims of crime. The Victims' Assistance Program (VAP) recognizes that crime victims have certain rights, including the right to be treated with dignity and compassion. For information and assistance call 541-426-4543 x141.
Making referrals to public and private social service agencies that can provide necessary services.
Providing information about case status throughout the criminal proceedings.
Verifying and documenting financial losses so that the court can order the offender to pay restitution.
Assisting in the return of property held by the police agency or court.
Assisting with preparation for court hearings and trials.
Resolving scheduling, child care, emergency and transportation problems.
Assisting with the completion of application process for State of Oregon Crime Victims' Compensation benefits.
DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF. Victims are innocent people who suffer harm when someone else breaks the law. It is essential for a victim to recognize that he or she is not at fault.
TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS. Find someone who is willing to listen. Victims usually do not need advice, but rather just someone with whom to talk.
DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SEEK OUTSIDE HELP. There are times when the healing process requieres help from a professional. Counselors, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists may be valuable help.
BE REALISTIC ABOUT THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. Certain aspects of the system may be exasperating. Be prepared for multiple delays, changes in court dates, and other unexpected events that can, and often do, occur. The process is dynamic and unfamiliar to all but those who have studied the justice system for years. It seeks to protect everyone and will accept no compromise in its efforts to be fair and to apply the rule of law, as justice requires.


For thousands of years, people have been teaching each other vital lessons via stories. We absorb values, warnings, and direction as we listen to them. We keep telling them because they matter, because stories are tools that build better people.
Stories provide insight into the human experience that help us function as individuals and live as groups. That's never changed.
A parable can show you how to optimize anything when you make real-world parallels. A novel can illuminate your routes to innovation. You'll be able better understand situations and empathize with people when you read tragedies, comedies, and surreal adventures.
Fiction exposes you to dilemmas, dramas, and situations you'd never encounter outside of a book. Fiction forces you to relate to characters with motivations far different than your own (like your customers or competitors). It's strategic research for deploying your next project, campaign, or product.
Fiction is research for the future, giving you valuable experience beyond the scope of your current roles. Every work of fiction is a case-study without a board of directors explaining it with bullet points. Every hero's journey echoes the steps your customers take.
Fiction defines and attempts to resolve issues, just like any business case. It offers insights that aren't coming from inside the house, just like a consultant. And businesses develop just as characters do, over time and in response to conflict.
And the lens of fiction also allows you to see the value things not in profit and loss statements, but in dialog and setting and desire: the crux of behavioral economics.
So grab a thick book of fiction. You'll be hopefully entertained and definitely educated. And you'll better understand both your work and your life outside it.

American Indian Heritage Month Celebrations Feature Festivals, Performances, Screenings and Talks at the National Museum of the American Indian
Free Public Programs in Washington, D.C., and New York City
2018 Hopi Festival. MNA collection by Ryan Williams Photography.
The Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian celebrates American Indian Heritage Month with numerous events in Washington, D.C., and New York City to honor Native veterans. Activities in both locations will also feature artists, musicians and dancers to celebrate Native peoples' culture and traditions.
In addition to special events, visitors will be able to see, in both locations, "Patriot Nations: Native Americans in Our Nation's Armed Forces." Native Americans have served in the nation's military since colonial times and serve today at a higher rate in proportion to their population than any other ethnic group. This 16-panel exhibition reveals this remarkable record of service through photography and essays, documenting 250 years of Native peoples' contributions in U.S. military history.
Recently, the National Museum of the American Indian announced the selection of the concept titled "Warriors' Circle of Honor" by Harvey Pratt (Cheyenne/Arapaho) in the competition to design the National Native American Veterans Memorial. Pratt, a Marine Corps Vietnam War veteran, is a multimedia artist and recently retired forensic artist. The competition jury describes his design as universal, inclusive and reflective of the complexity of Native American values, cultures and ancestral beliefs. Groundbreaking for the memorial is scheduled for September 2019; the museum is planning the memorial's dedication in late 2020.
Symposium: Transforming Teaching and Learning about American Indians
Thursday, Nov. 1; 2–5:30 p.m.

Total "vaccine" deaths and injuries acknowledged by governments as of 8/6/21
No Comments on Total "vaccine" deaths and injuries acknowledged by governments as of 8/6/21
How is it that "we" tolerate this?
The swine flu vaccine rollout was halted after 46 deaths. But now deaths in the tens of thousands, the number rising daily, is okay?
The moral impact of the "COVID" scare has been incalculable more destructive than the pathogen.
US – CDC's VAERS data released August 6, 2021 showed 12,366 deaths and 618,648 adverse reactions plus an additional 1000 deaths of fetuses by spontaneous abortion and miscarriage following the injections. 50% of adverse reactions resulted in hospitalization and long term disabilities. **
EU through July 26 , 2021 Eudravigilance, the European Database of Adverse reactions to Covid vaccines, lists 20,595 DEAD, 1,960.607 Injured 950,000 of those injured were hospitalized. following injections of the four experimental COVID-19 shots.
UK Through June 23, a total of 1403 deaths and 1,007,253 injuries recorded following the experimental COVID injections
EU There are 23 nations in Europe not included in the EU. We do not have data from them. likewise, no data from Japan, China, Asia, Africa or South America. No data likewise from British Commonwealth countries.
** US There are 168,564 reports that have been submitted to VAERS but not yet added to the database A CDC employee whistleblower stated in court under oath that the actual death toll from Covid vaccines in the US as of July 23 was 45,000, currently as of August 6 total is 51,537 and over 3 million adverse reactions. Harvard University medical statisticians put the actual death toll from Covid vaccines in the US alone at 500,000, three times that number in the EU and UK combined. They estimate that only 1% to 10% of deaths and injuries are reported to VAERS or released by VAERS to the public. The CDC has 13 separate reporting systems, but only VAERS can be accessed by the public. Their private data is never released.
"If a million people die from the vaccines it will still be worth it" " Bill Gates.
(How about three million, Bill. Still worth it? How about 12 million deaths worldwide? How about 7 billion dead over the next two years ? Your depopulation- eugenicist wet dream . The question we all have is "Why are you not hanging upside down from a scaffold?" )
← 95% of severe COVID cases are in "fully vaccinated" people: Dr. Kobi Haviv, interviewed on Israeli TV → "COVID is a global propaganda operation": Prof. Piers Robinson explains


Oh, Jared. How the mighty have fallen (not that he was that mighty to begin with). On Monday night's episode of Bachelor in Paradise, we saw how unrequited love (okay, lust) can shift. Ashley I. came to Paradise for Jared, but he had his eyes set for Caila. This is Paradise, though, so things became even more complicated: Brett came along, and asked Caila out. Caila accepted Brett's date on Bachelor in Paradise, and Jared was upset.
To know the full story, we need to backtrack a little bit. Ashley fell for Jared hard on last season of Bachelor in Paradise; while they ended up as friends, it was clear that Ashley still wanted him. So much so, in fact, that she came back to Paradise solely for him. Of course, this did not go too well. When Caila arrived in Paradise, Jared immediately took a liking to her, sending Ashley into a hysterical crying spiral (one of many).
Ashley got her own version of revenge, though. On Monday night's episode, Brett from Andi Dorfman's Bachelorette season came to Paradise, and instantly took notice of Caila. He asked her out on a booze cruise date and, after some hesistation, she accepted.
Along with some other contestants, Brett and Caila spent some time on the cruise while Jared sulked – he had Ashley to comfort him, though. Ashley saw this as her chance to win Jared over and it...did not work. Interestingly, Brett and Caila did not really hit it off on their date. Booze cruises are apparently not Caila's thing, and seeing as Brett and Caila have known each other for a minute before he asked her out, there was no way he'd know that.
After the date, then, Jared and Caila came back together – much to Ashley's distain. Luckily we did not have to listen to her sob while they made out (like at the beginning of the episode), but Ashley was clearly pissed. Jared and Caila clearly have some kind of a connection; does this mean that they will end up together, in and out of Paradise? Knowing this show, probably not, but stranger things have happened.

Gregg Popovich has a brilliant philosophy on how to handle players
Eric Gay/AP
Despite frequently coming off as a curmudgeon, Gregg Popovich has pulled back the curtains plenty of times and revealed his softer, more philosophical side.
On those occasions, it's easy to see why he could be the greatest coach the NBA has seen, whether he's describing how he handles failure, how to build the perfect organization, or how he chooses a player that will fit the team.
FIBA recently uploaded a video of Popovich speaking at a coaching seminar where he discussed the Spurs' system in-depth and some of his favorite coaching techniques.
At one point, Popovich discussed how to keep players motivated and how to handle the personalities throughout the season. He explained that being honest and holding people accountable is the best way to see results.
"I think you have to have accountability," Popovich said. "For us, the thing that works best is total, brutal, between-the-eyes honesty. I never try to trick a player or manipulate them, tell them something that I'm going to have to change next week."
Popovich then gave an example of how he handles his star players and how that philosophy keeps the team a tight-knit unit.
If it's Tim Duncan and it's a timeout and I don't think he's doing what he should be doing, I'll ask him, "Are you gonna rebound tonight? Are you gonna rebound at all? Or are you just gonna walk up and down and then we're gonna go to dinner? What are we gonna do?" And he'll listen and then he'll walk back out on the court and say, "Hey Pop, thanks for the motivation." Because he's wiseass.
But I think being honest with people is great. Somebody's doing well — you tell them they did well. But you don't have a different system for Duncan, [Tony] Parker, and [Manu] Ginobili than you do for number 12, 13, and 14. And a lot of people are afraid of that. You want the best players to like you for all the reasons. It won't work. It'll bite you in the bum after awhile. You need to have the same standards for everyone. You can treat people differently because each one is different, but they all have to march to the same drummer, to the same standards."
Popovich explained that character — namely being able to handle criticism — is important and allows him to be more upfront with people. "If you're on Duncan's fanny or Parker, [other players] see it, and they know it's fair and they wanna play for you. And it just compiles geometrically, and it just keeps going and you end up having a really good situation."
It's not the first time Popovich has spoken about holding players accountable and how Duncan or Parker or Ginobili's willingness to be criticized sets the standard. However, for as important as those players' characters are for the Spurs' long-term success, it's fair to wonder if other coaches could have channeled it like Popovich has.
Popovich has helped build a strong, enviable culture in San Antonio, and by the looks of it, it will continue, even once players like Duncan are gone.

A deadly shootout... with water weapons.
2013 | 5 - 10 | Australia | Comedy | Crime | Live-Action
Shady characters , a dramatic tone, lots of suspense … the first scenes of Let it Rain set up an impending shootout … that in fact will happen, and it'll be brutal. The only dissonant note? The dangerous weapons used by these ruthless criminals, are in fact water pistols. Kidnappings, deadly shots, action scenes that would impress even Quentin Tarantino, are all perfectly shot in detail by Matt Hardie (both director and protagonist of the film), except that there is no bloodshed here, only lots and lots of water. The effect is exhilarating, and there seems to be no apparent sense in all of this, especially in the solemn evil that emanates from every character involved in these criminal activities. Will there be a reason behind this nonsense?
This bizarre short film, winner at Tropfest Australia 2013, faithfully reproduces the style and tone of films like Die Hard or Lethal Weapon, starting from the headlines down to the use of the soundtrack, but plays on the disconcerting effect of the water weapons to raise laughter and interest.

Identifying factors contributing to nitrogen and phosphorus levels using a GIS-based prediction model in the Lake Erie watershed, Ontario
Kelsey Beaton, Steven French, & Victoria Tousaw
Western Lake Erie algal bloom taken on July 31, 2015 (NASA, 2015).
Lake Erie is the most susceptible of the Great Lakes to eutrophication, a process during which a waterbody becomes excessively enriched in nutrients. Many streams and rivers from southwestern Ontario drain into Lake Erie, all of which contribute to the eutrophication of Lake Erie and final drainage into Lake Ontario. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are key nutrients for plant growth and are typically associated with non-point source pollution from agricultural fields. Increased eutrophication can lead to harmful algal blooms with significant consequences to drinking water and aquatic wildlife habitat. The levels of N and P in these streams are affected by different factors. This project studies the impacts of five different categories of factors (landcover, soil type, soil hydraulic conductivity, slope, and weather) on the N and P levels in streams within the Ontario portion of the Lake Erie watershed. A Random Forest machine learning model was trained on 80% of the data and was used to assess the importance of each of the factors in predicting N and P levels and associated levels in unmonitored streams. The remaining 20% was used as an additional test of the performance of the model. This process produced a layer for each of the identified factors, a model that can predict N and P levels at a point based on the factors affecting the upstream drainage area, and maps showing the predicted N and P levels generated by the predictive model. The most important factors for predicting N and P levels identified by the predictive model were temperature, precipitation, agricultural land cover, natural land cover, and slope with an R2 of 0.438 and an MAE of 1.373.

How do I know if I am hiring the right pest management company to get rid of my bed bugs?
While there are thousands of pest management companies in the United States—over 2000 in New York; however not all "specializes" in bed bug control–so thoroughly investigate the experience of each company that you are considering.
Choosing a good pest management company is an important decision. You want the company you choose to eradicate bed bugs from your space quickly and effectively using environmentally sound pest management methods. When people discover that they have bed bugs, they want to get rid of them right away. Don't panic! Your problem will not get much worse in a few days. So take a couple of days to do your homework.
A good Pest Management Company will have a sound bed bug management program in place that is thorough, make sense and incorporates different methodologies and treatment methods. Their program should include inspection, identification, treatment and a follow up visit; as it should take at least two treatments to successfully eradicate bed bugs. They should stand behind their work and be available to answer your questions when you call.
While very few Pest Management Companies offer a guarantee, you should try to negotiate one with them—one that requires them to return if bed bugs are not gone after their treatment at no additional cost to you. A good Pest Management Company should provide you with sound information and recommendations on what to do to enhance the effectiveness of their bed bug management program.
Be an educated consumer. Don't depend solely on advertisement or sales pitches and don't believe everything you read of their web sites. Just because a pest management company advertises that they are "experts" doesn't mean that they are—ask lots of questions! Interview more than one company. While no one knows all there is to know about bed bugs, your Pest Management Company should be able to answer your questions truthfully or if necessary find the answers and get back to you. When you call them, you should have no trouble contacting a supervisor or manager to discuss your questions and or concerns.
Bed bug infestations will not go away without intervention. Intervention is most effective when bed bug populations are low–so early detection is crucial. If you suspect you have bed bugs, perform frequent inspections around your sleeping area. If you are unable to find any sign of bed bugs activity, but are waking up with itchy blotches or raised bumps, call in a professional; However, you should know that on the onset of a bed bug condition, beds are difficult to detect–even for professionals. Canine inspections are 98% accurate in alerting to live bed bugs and viable eggs. If you find a bug, but is not sure if it's a bed bug, compare it the picture on the Life Cycle of A Bed Bug page on this web site or email us a picture of it and we will let you know if it's a bed bug or not.
Finally, there are no secrets, shortcuts or magic bullets when it comes to ridding bed bugs. If a program or price sounds too simple or too good to be true, it probably is!
How many years of experience do you have treating bed bugs?
Do you perform inspections before you decide what control method(s) to use?
Do you have an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program in place?
Do you peform followup inspections?
How do you monitor the results?
If bed bugs are not gone after the first treatment, will I be charged for additional treatments?
Do you charge per room or per apartment or job?
What are the terms of your service agreement?
What, if anything, will I need to do before and after your visit?
Do you guarantee your service? If so, what are the terms?
TO AVOID UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU AVOID USING PEST MANAGEMENT COMPANIES THAT OFFER CANINE INSPECTIONS AND PREPARATION SERVICES. IF POSSIBLE USE ONE COMPANY TO PERFORM THE CANINE INSPECTION, A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COMPANY TO PREP AND ANOTHER TO TREAT. THIS REDUCES THE CHANCE OF UNETHICAL PRACTICE.

text: {{cleanup}} {{stub}} [[File:theincorvajatwins.jpg|300px|thumb|right|The Incorvaja Twins]] '''The Incorvaja Twins''' May and Josephine Incorvaja was born on 1 May, 1960 at [[St Luke's Hospital]] and grew up at [[Sliema]] with their family. Now they are married and lived at [[Mellieħa]] with their own family. They was educated at [[Sliema Girls Primary School]], [[Sliema St Louis Girls Grammar School]], and [[Ta' Giorni MCAST Polytechnic]]. They started singing at the tender age of 4 years in Sliema local Parish hall with dramatic campanies. Infact they even acted during the drama ''time''. They took part an a lot of Festivals where they were among the first three winners most of the time. For about five years May and Josephine study the violin and after they switched over to the guitar, May like readind and sports especially Netball where for some years she was the player / Coach of the [[Mellieħa Netball]] team, while Josephine like knitting and crochet, reading, cooking, playing tennis and hear music. Their favorite singers are Shirley Bassey, The Carpentens, Tom Jones, Barry Manilow. They prefer ''easy listening'' music to ''Rock'' and any modern stuff. Festivals with mentioning were the [[Golden Cross Song Festival]], where they placed first and were asked to rapresent [[Malta]] in a Song Festival in [[Sicily]] this was when they got the age of 9 years old. The [[Malta Song Festival]] (last Edition) where they placed second place. At that point the Incorvaja Twins were the youngest singers to ever took part in the Festival, which took place in April, 1974. There were obviously many more festivals and honours but it would be too to list more!. But one could name [[Malta Song for Europe]], [[Konkors Kanzunetta Indipendenza]], [[Konkors Kanzunetta San Pawl]] and [[L-Għanja tal-Poplu]]. They also had various TV appearances and done they first Cabaret Show at the age of 10 years. They been working full time in night-clubs since the age of 13 years and have beem worked at the top hotels in Malta, were one could named [[Grand Hotel Verdala]], [[Corinthia Palace]], [[Malta Hilton]], [[Dragonara Hotel]] and [[Casino]], [[Mellieħa Bay Hotel]], etc. At the age of 14 they were invited to went to sing in Canada and USA where apart from singing for the Maltese emigrants they took part in a Multi national audition and were selected. The sang at the King Edward Hotel and The Cheetah's in Toronto, Canada, An experience they never forget was their first appearance in Canada.where by the end of their first song everybody was standing up clapping and cheering. On that day May and Josephine were so emotional that both burst into tears and it took them a couple of minutes to pull themselves together and carry on. In 1980 they went back again in Canada and USA, but this time taken with them their younger sister Connie who was 10 years old singing with them. Again it was a great tour ans success one. During both visits to Canada and USA they made various TV appearance. Since their sister Connie started joining them in their acts. On of their success in their career was the tour they made to Australia in September – November 1983 where they give love performances in Sydney, Melbourne, and MacKay North of Queensland. They beging the first show at Sydney Hilton and they where the first Maltese to sing at that hotel. They also perform during The Quest Of Nations for 400 people from 14 different countries. Also in Mackay they were the first Maltese artists to go and perform there. Evey show in Australia were all great success with the audience attendance is a good indication, where they started with 400 people and they got 7,000 people in the sixth last show. It was a nice challenge from them to carry on with their carreer, during the whole year sing in local nightclubs, hotels and restaurants in the evenings, work as secretaries during the day in their office and try to lit they hobbies in between! May and Josephine mention the thanks to their parents John ans Mary nee' Camilleri for without whose constant loving help and support, their carreer would have never been flowished.

Lately my Independence Days Challenge updates seem to be reporting the same thing over and over and over. There is little variation week after week. There are also times when I've been busy all day, but when DH asks me, "So what did you do today..." my report seems pretty lame (did it really take me 3 hours to pick a gallon of blueberries???) At times like that I feel like I'm not being very productive, just spinning my wheels. Do you ever feel like that? That's when these updates are most helpful. I can look at my lists and see the fruit of my labors. I truly am starting to reach my goal! That's encouraging.
1. Plant something - delayed by rain!
canned more pizza sauce. In fact I made my quota of 26 pints this week and then some!
My summer read is Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life by Barbara Kingsolver. It's got me contemplating "local." More on the book later, but it's helping me realize that building community food systems isn't only done by teaching and sharing. Community food systems are also built by purchasing from local farmers and food producers.
With that in mind I can report that I bought a gallon of local raw milk, a 2 lb roll of locally produced butter, and 2 pounds of locally produced ground beef (pasture raised, grass fed, no antibiotic or growth hormone; isn't there a way to abbreviate all that???). These aren't specifically "want not" items, i.e. for food storage and future needs, but for this week's use.
Purchased chicken and goat feed produced by area farmers.
7. Eat the food - I thought I'd try to look at this from a different perspective. Rather than simply make a list of what we've been eating and sprinkle it with a few recipes, I want to categorize it in a way to help me better analyze our current consumption and food storage.
Proteins - we have our own eggs and quite a bit of homestead raised chicken in the freezer. I purchase the locally ground beef (we like grilled hamburgers) I mentioned under "build community food systems, and also bulk meat packs of locally pasture raised pork (chops, cutlets, sausages, bacon, ham steaks, etc), also grass fed with no antibiotics or grown hormones, humanely slaughtered, yadda yadda) We also eat a lot of yogurt, and for this I've been buying non-homogenized milk from a local dairy, but it's ultra pasteurized and I've recently learned this may be why my yogurt isn't setting well (hence the purchase of raw milk mentioned above).
Starches - our sweet corn didn't do well, so that's a disappointment. We recently harvested our potatoes and are pleased with that. I'm just not sure how well they'll store (summer still has a long way to go for us), Hopefully the ones planted for a fall crop will do well. We'll see.
Grains & flours - Not sure what I can get grown locally. I buy quite a bit in bulk (brown rice, oatmeal, millet, buckwheat flour) and do soak all our grains and flour. I'm using sourdough starter in every flour product I bake.
Fats - I bought 2 (& won 1) gallon buckets of organic palm shortening (non-hydrogenated) from Tropical Traditions and use those anytime I need shortening (pie crusts mainly). I also purchased a 5 gallon bucket of coconut oil, plus I use a lot of virgin olive oil (bought in 1/2 gallon containers). I'm saving and using the fat from the local grass fed pork I buy, because it contains no antibiotics nor growth hormones. For table use and some cooking/baking I purchase that local roll butter.
Sweeteners - purchase local honey by the quart (and get $1 off for providing my own container.). Also maple syrup (the real stuff, not local!). I get raw sugar at the discount grocery when available, and I still buy refined white sugar for coffee and jam & jelly making. .
Herbs, spices, & condiments - I'm working on this one with my culinary herb garden. Otherwise I try to purchase these, plus sea salt, in bulk quantities. I still purchase apple cider vinegar by the gallon for pickle and relish making. My goal is to eventually be able to supply almost all of these myself.
Beverages - We drink mostly water (ours is city and terrible). I fill a big glass pitcher with it and leave it sit 24 hours to evaporate the chlorine out of it. I broke my sun tea jar and haven't been making tea. I really need to but haven't been able to find a glass one, only plastic :(. We do drink coffee and (horrors!) soda with our Friday night pizza! I need to get back to trying to perfect that ginger beer recipe!
I think that's it for this week. To see what others are doing for Independence Days, click here.
My "Can You Believe It's August Already!" IDC Update © August 2010 by Leigh at http://my5acredream.blogspot.com/ (both photos & text).
I've got to pick green (purple) beans today; they got away from me last week when I had to work at Rick's clinic. I don't have a pressure canner and dislike frozen beans, but am thinking I need to give the latter a try. Do you freeze beans and can you recommend a good method?
In the end, of course, all such tasks are beneficial, but it does seem like you are spinning your wheels most of the time. We've just got to give ourselves a break. Growing your own food, taking care of animals, having even a small homestead is such a full-time job. A life style.
Michelle - Just saw your comment. We LOVE frozen beans; they're so much better than canned. Be sure not to let them get too big or tough before picking. Take off the ends and snap or cut them into pieces. Blanch them for 3 minutes then immerse in ice water to stop cooking. Drain well. Then I actually spread them on a towel, roll them up and let sit for a minute or two to remove excess moisture. Then put into a gallon freezer bag. They stay frozen "unclumped" and I take out just as much as I need for serving.
yep, I know how that "not doing much" feels... but after some time of just spinning - there comes a time when I manage to finish stuff, to show what I did with my time.. when fall/winter comes for you, you'll be able to show full shelves etc.. of course, not many people (apart from your blog readers:)) outside your home will see this - but you can pat your own back and lean back for a while!
You sound very productive - gardens take lots of time, but it can be so enjoyable as well. We are lucky to have an underground root cellar built into the hillside.
Yes Leigh: I can feel like that. There are days when I say: I haven't done anything at all, but have spent hours cleaning things in the house or working in the garden. But as soon as I've done something 'textily' I feel I've done something... My spinning wheel is worked at lot, but so are the lace bobbins and I've even woven again this week! My knitting needles are kept busy as well.
The birds ate my berries and currants, so no need to can any... It was too dry for them here this year, so they didn't very well either.
Thank-you, Mama Pea. I've got green beans in the freezer as I type; we'll see how we like them!
Michelle, the photos of your purple beans are so pretty. I need to try them sometime. I can my green beans, a habit I got in to when we didn't have a deep freeze. I know some folks prefer them frozen, but we just like them canned because that's what we're used to. I do love having a pressure canner, because it increases the possibilities of food preservation.
Mama Pea, weeding, that's another one! "You spent the day weeding (accompanied by a blank look), oh."
I agree homesteading is actually a lifestyle, and really can't be compared to what the rest of the world thinks of in terms of productivity.
Thank you too, for the info on freezing green beans!
Bettina, it's helpful to be reminded of that and it's true, that as I fill my pantry shelves, I am reminded why I'm doing it all.
Evelyn, I envy that root cellar! We have the pantry, but really, a root cellar would be the best place for the potatoes and other root crops. The side of a hill is the perfect spot, too.
Annie, that is so true! Housework seems unproductive but spinning, knitting, and weaving seem productive! I reckon that's due in part to the fact that housework has a way of forever "undoing" itself. LOL.
Michelle, I'll be curious about that too!
Thanks for the link! They have just what I'm looking for. Good prices too.

It should be like a dream come true. Beach Boys' genius Brian Wilson is singing to me. Sadly the sweet, pitch-perfect magic that swept those sixties hits into the hearts and minds of a generation has been ravaged by years of sickness and medication.
The horrible truth is, that droning his latest release down a trans-Atlantic telephone line, poor battered and bewildered Brian Wilson sounds dreadful. The soaring falsetto is no more.
It's not even a new song, it's his re-arranged version of that hoary old 1940s hit That Lucky Old Sun - a number which was a big hit for Frankie Laine and subsequently reworked by everyone from Louise Armstrong to Bob Dylan.
Now Wilson, with a little help from some talented friends including his old Smile collaborator Van Dyke Parks, has made the song the centre-piece of a work in five movements. With additional music, lyrics and spoken word it is now called Lucky Old Sun (a narrative).
Speaking from California, Wilson tells me he was playing his piano one day and just started doodling the number. He slips into the opening verse: "….Up in the morning/Out on the job /Work so hard for my pay…"
That was it. Suddenly he says he realised: " I gotta go the music store and buy Louise Armstrong's version and bring it home and learn it."
This he did and now he tells me in his slurred stop-go. voice: "We're going to fly all the way over the sea, all the way to London just to play you That Lucky Old Sun -a narrative."
"London" seems to be what Wilson calls anywhere in the British Isles. Although to be fair that is precisely where he is this week, enjoying a six night residency at the Royal Festival Hall to launch the new season at the Southbank Centre.
On Monday the 65-year-old musician will hit the road, taking his new masterwork on a tour of the UK. Among the venues lucky enough to secure an appearance has been Bournemouth's Opera House.
There. on September 20, backed by what will undoubtedly be a sublimely talented 10 piece band, Wilson will be the focal point of an evening that is likely to be more about a popular music legend who has survived against all odds than new, cutting edge material.
The voice may be shot but he'll be surrounded by note-perfect session people and, as anyone who witnessed his Smile tour two or three years back can testify, the spirit of Brian Wilson remains somehow miraculously intact. Whatever he does it WILL sound absolutely brilliant and, however little input he appears to have, it simply would not be the same without him.
Talking to Wilson is not easy. Conversation doesn't flow in a necessarily logical manner, questions can get abrupt one word answers or cause him to spiral off at a tangent.
I am of course thankful that he's able to talk at all. Damaged by mental illness and drugs, he was for years a complete recluse.
His story starts with the Beach Boys - the band he formed back in the early 1960s with his brothers Dennis and Carl, their cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine. They found instant success but the pressures of performing and clashes with the brothers' overbearing father/manager Murry Wilson sent the sensitive Brian spiralling out of control.
With hindsight it is clear that he was suffering from the onset of paranoid schizophrenia but at the time they just called it a nervous breakdown and told him to rest. Too frightened to perform, Brian stayed in the background composing classics like God Only Knows and Good Vibrations.
Fighting his demons with marijuana and LSD, he got weirder and weirder. The stories are legion: how he spent most of his time playing in the huge sand-pit he'd had installed in his front room that's when he wasn't smoking or tripping in his special drug-tent, ingesting industrial quantities of hallucinogenics.
The Wilson boys, who were wasted and falling out among themselves, made some spectacularly unwise friends. For a while Dennis even had the soon to become demonic killer Charles Manson as a house guest.
This band had in just a few short years gone from being squeaky-clean purveyors of all American surf music to a miserable drug-addled mess with Brian - the once brilliant young composer - ending up as an unwashed, terrified, 24 stone gibbering wreck. Eventually he was unable to do anything but accept help.
With much love, professional assistance and carefully controlled medication, he is finally back functioning as a creative person, writing, performing. It's taken a long, long time but, over the past 10 years, glimpses of the Wilson genius are once more evident. They are only glimpses though. Against all odds Brian is now the only Wilson brother left alive. Dennis drowned in 1979 and Carl died of lung cancer in 1998 Brian says that playing the old Beach Boys hits is a bitter-sweet experience.
"They're good songs, they really are they carry the show." But do they evoke happy memories? Wilson thinks for a moment: Then answers the question with great care and deliberation: "God Only Knows does, and Caroline No, and California Girls and those kind of songs do, but some of the songs bring back uncomfortable memories like the death of my brothers or something….I miss my family a lot, but you know, I can't do much about it."
Despite his clearly fragile state, he insists: "I'm feeling good now? I'm feeling better now than I have in 15 years."
Certainly the terror of appearing live on stage seems to have been overcome. He tells me he feels most at home when performing and when I remind him that it wasn't always like that, he tells me: "Well I got used to it and the shows are really good. We've improved the musicianship ten times over."
I say the 2004 UK concerts, when he played the Bournemouth Pavilion, were sensational and he tells me: "Well the presentation of Lucky old Sun will probably blow you away... We're growing musically and we're going somewhere, getting someplace with it."
Just for a moment Brian seems to getting back to his old self. But it soon becomes clear that everything he has been through has exacted a terrible price.
I ask him if he is still able to hear great songs in his head, if he can still compose wonderful multi-faceted works with complex layers of sound.
" Not any more," he says, his voice suddenly sounding flat and dull. "I have to hear it on the keyboard."

Woman held in confinement, hammer attack
WINCHESTER, Ind. – A Winchester woman is accused of holding a male acquaintance against his will in her home and striking him in the face with a hammer.
A 25-year-old Winchester man told city police late Tuesday he had escaped from the home of Casey J. King, also 25, after punching out a window in a room she had locked him in.
The man said after he and King began arguing, he called a friend to pick him up at her home, in the 700 block of East Ludy Road.
Suspects sought in brutal hammer attack
Muncie man charged with murder, confinement
King then became "very angry," her accuser said, and pushed him into the room where he was held. At one point, the man said, he tried to escape through the door, but King struck him in the left side of his face with a hammer, "causing pain, discomfort and a laceration to the inside of his mouth."
King was later arrested on preliminary charges of criminal confinement and battery resulting in bodily injury.
Prosecutor David Daly's office on Wednesday was granted 72 additional hours to file formal charges. She was being held in the Randolph County jail under a $300 cash bond.
Court records reflect no prior charges against the Winchester woman.

2 How Can You See a Mortgage on a Property Through Public Records?
Mortgages are recorded documents and public record. You can find out which mortgage company owns the note on a house by browsing the online records for the county or city where the property is located. Where online records are not available, you can review the mortgage deed in person at the county or city recorder's office.
Many counties and cities maintain a searchable online database of public home ownership information. San Francisco, for example, lets members of the public search property information by typing the property address into the search bar or by highlighting the subject property on the city map. If you're using this search tool, scroll down the results page and click on the link to "Recorded Documents." This will pull up a list of all the recorded transfers, mortgages and trust deeds relating to the subject property. Click on the most recent mortgage to discover the name of the note holder.
Some counties do not publish property records online or publish only non-identifying information that does not include the name of the homeowner or mortgage holder. In these jurisdictions, you'll have to go to the county records office in person and use one of the public terminals to look up the land records for the subject property. To search the database, you'll need the property's full address and, ideally, the name of the homeowner. You can order copies of recorded documents for a small fee.
Property Shark is an online service that allows you to access home ownership information, tax records, liens, mortgage information and more. You'll get some information free of charge, but full access to property records requires a paid subscription. NextAce lets you run a one-time ownership and encumbrance report online for a fee of about $30. Search Systems is a free online search site that aggregates records from over 50,000 public databases across the country. The system promises to return mortgage and home ownership information that is recorded online in a public database. If you think the home is foreclosed, have a browse around RealtyTrac. This website has data on more than 120 million foreclosed homes, homes for sale and off-market properties.
If all else fails, consider hiring a title agent to locate the information you are looking for. A title company can run a preliminary title examination that shows the homeowner of record, a list of outstanding mortgages and liens and the holders of those mortgages and liens. The cost of a title search depends on the company you use and the type of report you require, so shop around for the best deal.

This spicy eggplant dish, popular in India and Pakistan, can be eaten hot or at room temperature. Serve with brown basmati rice and naan. Save leftovers if you can; the dish tastes better on day two when all the flavors have had a chance to meld.
Prick eggplants all over with a fork. Place on the prepared pan and roast, turning once or twice, until soft, 55 to 65 minutes. Cut open and let cool. Scrape the flesh onto a cutting board and chop. Discard the skin.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and starting to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and jalapeño; cook until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in cumin, salt, coriander, turmeric and crushed red pepper; then add tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes start to break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chopped eggplant, cilantro, lemon juice and garam masala. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 3 minutes more.
To make ahead: Refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.
It is absolutely amazingly delicious meal. I love Indian cuisine and this dish is Superb. I don't measure spices and always add a little more than what recipe calls for. I added 4-5 cloves of garlic, half yellow and half red onion, 1and 1/2 tbs of fresh ginger. At the end replaced lemon with lime juice. After adding the lime juce, garam masala and cilantro, I turned off the heat (no addittional cooking) and let the flavours blend all together on its on.

RedHill Biopharma Announces Positive Top-Line Results from Confirmatory Phase 3 Study with TALICIA® for H. pylori Infection
The ERADICATE Hp2 confirmatory Phase 3 study successfully met its primary endpoint of H. pylori eradication (84% vs. 58%) with high degree of statistical significance (p<0.0001)
High resistance to standard-of-care antibiotics observed in the ERADICATE Hp2 study is consistent with the diminishing efficacy of standard-of-care therapies, which has declined to approximately 60%
The Phase 3 study results support potential positioning of TALICIA® as a best-in-class, first-line therapy for treating H. pylori infection, with an estimated 2.5 million patients treated annually in the U.S.
Preparations ongoing for potential NDA submission in H1/2019 and commercial U.S. launch with RedHill's existing salesforce in H2/2019
Conference call and live webcast to be held today, Monday, Dec. 3, at 8:30 a.m. EST
TEL-AVIV, Israel and RALEIGH, N.C., Dec. 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDHL) (Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange: RDHL) ("RedHill" or the "Company"), a specialty biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on proprietary drugs for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, announced today positive top-line results from the ERADICATE Hp2 study, a two-arm, randomized, double-blind, active comparator-controlled, confirmatory Phase 3 study with TALICIA® (RHB-105)1 for H. pylori infection.
The ERADICATE Hp2 study successfully met its primary endpoint with a high degree of statistical significance, demonstrating 84% eradication of H. pylori infection with TALICIA® versus 58% in the active comparator arm in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population (p<0.0001). No safety issues were reported in the study and TALICIA® was found to be well tolerated.
Dror Ben-Asher, RedHill's CEO, stated: "We are delighted with these excellent top-line results and are preparing for U.S. New Drug Application (NDA) submission, expected in the first half of 2019, subject to FDA feedback. Our established U.S. commercial operations team and GI-focused sales force are well-positioned for the potential U.S. commercial launch of TALICIA®, expected in the second half of 2019, subject to FDA approval."
TALICIA® is a novel and proprietary fixed-dose, all-in-one oral capsule combination of two antibiotics, rifabutin and amoxicillin, and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), omeprazole. The ERADICATE Hp2 two-arm, randomized, double-blind, active comparator-controlled study investigated 455 dyspepsia patients with confirmed H. pylori infection at 55 clinical sites across the U.S. Subjects were randomized 1:1 to receive four capsules, three times daily, of either TALICIA® or the active comparator, a dual therapy amoxicillin and omeprazole regimen at equivalent doses, for a period of 14 days.
The efficacy of current standard-of-care therapies continues to decline and has been reported in literature to be approximately 60%2 due to high resistance of H. pylori bacteria to the antibiotics commonly used in these therapies, primarily clarithromycin and metronidazole.
Preliminary H. pylori culture results taken throughout the ERADICATE Hp2 study from patients across 20 U.S. states confirmed the high resistance3 of H. pylori to the antibiotics most commonly used for treatment, clarithromycin (17% resistance) and metronidazole (43% resistance). Importantly, no resistance to rifabutin, a key component in TALICIA®'s unique and proprietary formulation, was detected in the study.
Moreover, consistent with the literature describing the diminished efficacy of standard-of-care therapies, preliminary results4 from the open-label part of the ERADICATE Hp2 Phase 3 study showed 64% eradication of H. pylori with these therapies.
Results from the ERADICATE Hp2 study showed consistent 21-29% treatment benefit of TALICIA® versus the active comparator across all H. pylori culture susceptibility and resistance subgroups, including amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole.
"The growing resistance of H. pylori to the antibiotics commonly used in standard-of-care therapies was confirmed in this study, which demonstrated the high resistance of the Helicobacter bacteria to clarithromycin and metronidazole. The resulting high failure rates of standard-of-care treatments, estimated at 30-40%, are a major public concern among the medical community worldwide and underscore the urgent need for new H. pylori eradication therapies, especially those utilizing antibiotics where resistance is rare such as amoxicillin and rifabutin," statedProfessor David Graham, M.D., M.A.C.G., lead investigator of the ERADICATE Hp2 study.
The ERADICATE Hp2 Phase 3 top-line results confirm the positive findings demonstrated in RedHill's previously reported first Phase 3 study (ERADICATE Hp) and further support TALICIA®'s potential to become a next generation, best-in-class, first-line therapy for treating H. pylori infection. RedHill plans to share ERADICATE Hp2 data in greater detail at upcoming scientific conferences.
TALICIA® was granted Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation and Fast-Track development designation by the FDA, including eligibility for six-month priority review and a total of eight years of U.S. market exclusivity. TALICIA® is also covered by U.S. patents which extend patent protection until at least 2034, with additional pending patents and applications in various territories worldwide.
H. pylori bacterial infection affects over 50% of the adult population worldwide5 and 30-40% of the U.S. population6, with an estimated 2.5 million patients treated annually in the U.S.7
H. pylori infection is the strongest risk factor for the development of gastric cancer8 and a major risk factor for development of peptic ulcer disease9.
Ira Kalfus, M.D. RedHill's medical director, added: "I am thrilled with the study results which support the outstanding efficacy of TALICIA® for treating H. pylori infection. The excellent results from both Phase 3 studies could position TALICIA® to become the new standard-of-care, best-in-class, first-line therapy for eradication of H. pylori. I look forward to further discussion with FDA about advancing this potential new therapy for H. pylori infection towards an NDA submission. I would like to thank all the patients, physicians and clinical staff who were involved in this study, as well as the lead investigator of the study, Professor David Graham and the RedHill team for their commitment to benefiting people infected with H. pylori."
RedHill will continue to analyze the top-line data from the ERADICATE Hp2 study, including antibiotic susceptibility and resistance, and plans to meet with the FDA to present the data and discuss the path towards potential marketing approval of TALICIA® in the U.S.
The ERADICATE Hp2 study top-line results were provided to RedHill by an independent third-party following an independent analysis and remain subject to completion of the independent review and analysis of the underlying data, including all safety, secondary and other outcome measures, and completion of the Clinical Study Report.
Conference call on the ERADICATE Hp2 study results:
RedHill will host a conference call today, Monday, Dec. 3, 2018, at 8:30 a.m. EST, to discuss the ERADICATE Hp2 study results.
The webcast, including a slide presentation, will be broadcast live and available for replay 30 days on the Company's website, http://ir.redhillbio.com/events.
To participate in the conference call, please dial one of the following numbers 15 minutes prior to the start of the call: United States: +1-800-239-9838; International: +1-929-477-0448; and Israel: +972-3-721-9463. The access code for the call is: 2626201.
TALICIA® (RHB-105) is a novel and proprietary fixed-dose, all-in-one oral capsule combination of two antibiotics, rifabutin and amoxicillin and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), omeprazole. TALICIA® is pursuing an indication of treatment of H. pylori infection, regardless of ulcer status, a significantly broader indication than current standard treatments for H. pylori infection. TALICIA® has been investigated in two positive Phase 3 studies for the treatment of H. pylori: The ERADICATE Hp2 confirmatory Phase 3 study met its primary endpoint, with top-line results demonstrating 84% eradication of H. pylori infection (p<0.0001). The ERADICATE Hp first Phase 3 study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating 89.4% efficacy in eradicating H. pylori infection with TALICIA® (p<0.001). TALICIA® was granted Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation and Fast-Track development designation by the FDA, including eligibility for six-month priority review and a total of eight years of U.S. market exclusivity. TALICIA® is also covered by U.S. patents which extend patent protection until at least 2034, with additional pending patents and applications in various territories worldwide.
About the ERADICATE Hp2 study
The ERADICATE Hp2 confirmatory Phase 3 study is a two-arm, randomized, double-blind, active comparator-controlled, confirmatory Phase 3 study which compared TALICIA® against a dual therapy amoxicillin and omeprazole regimen at equivalent doses. The study investigated 455 dyspepsia patients with confirmed H. pylori infection at 55 clinical sites across the U.S. Subjects were randomized 1:1 to receive four capsules, three times daily, of either TALICIA® or the active comparator, for a period of 14 days. Subjects were assessed for the study's primary endpoint of eradication of H. pylori infection at least 43 days after initiation of treatment. The study was 90% powered to detect a 13% treatment effect (active arm 83% vs. control arm 70%). Patients in the study who remained H. pylori-positive after completing treatment in either arm were offered treatment with standard-of-care therapies that included clarithromycin and/or metronidazole-based triple therapy or quadruple therapy, in an open-label setting.
H. pylori bacterial infection affects over 50% of the adult population worldwide8 and 30-40% of the U.S. population6, with an estimated 2.5 million patients treated annually in the U.S.
H. pylori is classified as a group I carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. It is the strongest risk factor for the development of gastric cancer8 and a major risk factor for peptic ulcer disease9, and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT) lymphoma10. Eradication of H. pylori is becoming more difficult; Current standard-of-care therapies fail in approximately 30-40% of patients, who remain H. pylori positive, due to increasing resistance of H. pylori to antibiotics commonly used in standard combination therapies3. Clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori was formally categorized by the World Health Organization as a pathogen for which there is a high priority need to develop new treatments11. The 2018 global market for H. pylori eradication therapies is estimated at approximately $4.8 billion, of which $1.4 billion is from the U.S.7
The ERADICATE Hp2 confirmatory Phase 3 study with TALICIA® (RHB-105) is registered on www.ClinicalTrials.gov, a web-based service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), which provides access to information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies.

When Dan told me last April that he was going to run for Congress, it was the best news I had heard since American values started to come under attack from none other than the president of the United States. Only members of Congress with Dan-like acumen, Democrat or Republican, will rescue America from this sorry state of affairs. The current Congress is dangerously short on this faculty.
Like Bernie Sanders, Dan is a revolutionary. He supports universal health care. How many politicians can do this openly and courageously, besides Sanders? Dan will stand up for working-class men and women of Indiana and America, not just for the wealthy. He calls the recently passed tax law, a tax scam, which it undoubtedly is. He is the opposite of a typical cowardly politician who would read data from multiple polls before meekly commenting on a topic. Dan talks precisely, persuasively and passionately. Truth blares out of his body language. He exudes charisma.
By the end of October, he had raised over $208,000 for his campaign, with an average contribution of $27. Sounds familiar? But of course, he will need much more. Before he faces Hollingsworth, however, Dan has to win the Democratic nomination. But I believe that his qualifications outstrip those of his fellow Democrats in the race. For one, he is running a great campaign. American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has endorsed him, as has Our Revolution Indy, the Indiana chapter of Sander's people-powered movement. Washington Post has noted Dan's candidacy. And it's still early in the game.
One of the reasons America is losing to Russia and China in the international arena is that members of Congress, with a few exceptions, are foreign policy nincompoops. Therefore, when a president is also such a nincompoop and/or lacks decisiveness, America and the world suffer miserably, as a deadly vacuum engulfs deliberations on international issues. I am sure that once Dan is done with analyzing such an issue, his brilliant mind will transmit powerful ideas and solutions to his lips and America and the world will be better for it: Trust me on this one. Intellect, logic and facts are his natural allies.
If Americans send more citizens like Dan to Congress, America will quickly regain its internationally acclaimed glory that, by November, would have been in doldrums for two years. He will excel as a congressman, standing up for "we the people." He'll make Indiana and the rest of America fall in love with him to the point that he may be a serious candidate for vice president in 2020. Or even president, if Sanders doesn't run.
