I've just ordered one, cost AUD 225 with express freight from Merimobiles, wherever they are. The only active stylus I've had before was a Samsung T500 convertible with Wacom. The PC died, but I used the stylus a little for CAD and sketching before it did. The left/right click button equivalents are more useful to me than pressure levels.
Looking forward to your impressions when you get it.

Wow. The tablet looks decent. It has a mHDMI in addition to the mUSB. Pen is electromagnetic. Built in 3G. Looking forward to a review of the pen and inking. Here is the link to the Chinese site. Looks like they ship worldwide. http://www.merimobiles.com/pipo-w5-...1-83ghz-windows-8-1-tablet-pc_p/meri10613.htm

I think that the stylus is Huion tech. They do digitizer monitors, graphics tablets and tech for other manufacturers. I checked out a review of a Monoprice graphics tab, the reviewer said nice things about it. If it works well, an advantage is that the stylus is half the price of a Wacom.
A little more fossicking about has turned up that the technology comes from a company called UC-Logic.

Well, I've just received the Pipo W5 and my assumptions are wrong. It's on charge before I have a decent look under the hood, but the stylus that came with it is small, no battery, and looks like the one that's supplied with the Asus. In fact, the end looks like it's been designed to dock in the edge of the tablet, exactly as the Asus does - except that the Pipo doesn't have a cavity to take it.... I've fired it up to see how the stylus feels, response-wise, and it feels like the Wacom in the Samsung ATIV that I had, except that there aren't buttons. That's through the screen protection foil that it was shipped with, too, which I haven't taken off yet. I wouldn't be surprised if this is an actual Wacom. Nice.
It isn't 3G that I can see, not that that matters to me, and the specs on the box state that that feature's optional.

Do you have any wacom pens to try on it? Are the bezels as small as they look in the picture? Those look small by windows tablet standards.

No, the Samsung stylus from the ATIV 500 that I had is only $25 and available, so I'll probably order that, if only to find out if the buttons will work too. The bezels really are that fine. The thing feels so light and svelte in comparison to the Acer W3 that I've had for a couple of years. My Acer doesn't have an IPS screen, it's not that noticeable because you tend to hold it directly in front of your face, but this makes it look horrid in comparison.

Greenlee, Nov 20, 2014
I haven't seen that tablet at any vendors, even those that carry other Vido models. This Pipo is looking good. The stylus behaves like a Wacom, it scrolls while hovering, I tried it with Microsoft's Fresh Paint app and there's pressure variation. There's no smudging, so palm rejection (or maybe it should be called heel rejection, you tend to rest the heel of your hand onscreen) works well. It's a pleasure to write with (compared to finger-cursive, anyway!), and MS's handwriting recognition is much snappier than when I use a capacitive stylus or a finger. The tablet is noticeably smaller than Acer W3, 210 x 125 vs. 220 x 136, a couple of mm thinner, much lighter and more comfortable to hold. The battery had 9% when I received it, it took about 3 hours to charge to capacity with a 2.1A charger while shut down, and there's no charge indication while it's shut down, no lights, nothing. You're going to have to wait for me to find out how long the battery lasts... The tab's specs assert 32Gb capacity for the microSD card, but since there's ambiguity elsewhere, I decided to take a chance and ordered a 128Gb card, I don't expect to receive it for a week, but if the slot doesn't see it, a USB adapter will.

For anyone interested you can pre-order the Vido W8S from the same site as the Pipo. Anyone have any more confirmation of this being Wacom?

I ♥ Senility
Shattered pots in a desert. Iron Age I, Iron Age II.
I look at the picture in a magazine, and think
that's my life.
A cliché, but I don't have the energy to be original this morning.
Crumbs from an old pie crust on the kitchen counter.
Cat hair in a wad on the rug.
Those are my life too.
In the last third, which is where I am, there are no wholes.
Shards, many terrible, wait me when I wake up.
All shards, all broken.
I don't want to sound whiney, because at least I am writing this poem.
And really one big white glaring whole is all that is left.
I see it when I close my eyes, and the television is off.
Consistency is a concept I left behind in high school
along with fairness.
With 20,000 official divisions of Christianity, how can I stand on consistency?
I believe . . . let's just leave it there.
In that desert house from a debatable year of B.C. people flailed about like me.
They are nowhere now.
I look forward to being nowhere.
I look forward to senility, sitting on the side of my bed in the nursing home,
staring into space,
not present where my body is.
Seeing, tasting, smelling, touching, and hearing in another place,
either my old life before betrayals or an entirely new place
with green columns and red lakes.
I can design this world as I want, rather than the world designing me.
The people, I think, will be shorter than me.
They will speak the truth in silky voices.
We will have a picnic by the red lake,
and eat ambrosia casseroles, cloud tea, and saintly chips.
We will stroke each other's cheeks.
The weather will be purple skies, breezes that murmur nondenominational psalms.
We will laugh.
I prefer this world to the world of clay pieces; leave me alone.

as they left I heard cheering
unsure if it was mixed with tears
or was it shouting, begging
we never crossed the language barrier
protestors held signs scrawled with equations
even these symbol sets
remained a mystery
it shook its head and turned away
rejoining its crew
for departure
for us it meant no
it could have meant anything
body language meaningless
we could have shaken the wrong extremity
they leave on a pillar of fire
smoke signal of farewell
a burnt patch of earth
monument to the failure of our linguists
knowing less than before, abandoned
they said something before they left
but I could not hear it through the cheering

People give off individually distinct microbial clouds, making it possible for a person to be identified from the unique combinations of bacteria they exude, according to a new research paper from the University of Oregon .
The research sought to discover more about how bacteria are spread between people. Examining common bacteria such as Streptococcus, Propionibacterium and Corynebacterium, researchers discovered that different combinations of these bacteria enabled the identification of individuals.
"We expected that we would be able to detect the human microbiome in the air around a person, but we were surprised to find that we could identify most of the occupants just by sampling their microbial cloud," said lead author James F Meadow when speaking to EurekAlert.
According to the paper, the research team used 16S rRNA sequencing to characterise the airborne microbial contributions of 11 people, comparing each sample to the air from an unoccupied room, and to each other.
Most people could be correctly identified by their microbial emissions within four hours.
While this research may sound like knowledge for the sake of knowledge, the results have broader applications.
It could help us to understand how infectious diseases spread within buildings, and may also have forensic applications, enabling the tracking of where a person has been.
It is not yet clear if an individual microbial signature can be traced in crowds.


Memories — places, vacancies, allusions — are fundamental characters in Mary Lattimore's evocative craft. Inside her music, wordless narratives, indefinite travelogues, and braided events skew into something enchantingly new. The Los Angeles-based harpist recorded her breakout 2016 album, At The Dam, during stops along a road trip across America, letting the serene landscapes of Joshua Tree and Marfa, Texas color her compositions. In 2017, she presented Collected Pieces, a tape compiling sounds from her past life in Philadelphia: odes to the east coast, burning motels, and beach town convenience stores. In 2018, from a restorative station — a redwood barn, nestled in the hills above San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge — emanates Hundreds of Days, her second full-length LP with Ghostly International. The record sojourns between silences and speech, between microcosmic daily scenes and macrocosmic universal understandings, between being alien in promising new places and feeling torn from old native havens. It's an expansive new chapter in Lattimore's story, and an expression of mystified gratitude. A study in how ordinary components helix together to create an extraordinary world.
Throughout the shifting locales there is one consistent companion Lattimore engages: a 47-string Lyon and Healy harp. The instrument wires directly into her psyche. Pitchfork's Marc Masters posits, "she can practically talk through it at this point; she's created a language." The space and stillness of the Headlands afforded Lattimore freedom to her expand her vocabulary, to stretch out and experiment with layers of keyboard, guitar, theremin, and grand piano. Lattimore's voice sweeps beneath the plucks and washes of opener "It Feels Like Floating," enraptured by the winding current, and reappearing in the second minute of the immense "Never Saw Him Again." The track elevates towards a shimmering apex of static and percussion before organ drone yields to signature halcyon flutters. As with much of Lattimore's work, the track titles are telling; "Baltic Birch" is a somber windswept march that sways gracefully out of step, a remembrance of a recent trip to Latvia where she was struck by the abandoned resort towns along the Baltic Sea. "Hello From The Edge of The Earth" is an earnest reflection of Lattimore's love of the natural world, recognizing the thresholds of varying terrains.
The album's fifth track borrows its name from Lattimore's favorite line in Denis Johnson's short story "Emergency" from Jesus' Son. A character, lost in a blizzard, reassesses a disjointed universe, a clash between curtains of snow and angels descending out of a brilliant blue summer: it isn't an apocalypse, it is a drive-in movie, with stars hovering above the lot, off the screen, in the throes of the Midwestern storm. This mix-up is disorienting and existentially tragic; Lattimore's darkly strummed piece is a melancholic parallel, mimicking Johnson's elegant suture attaching two remarkably discontinuous spaces.
Micro-revelations, not quite as bright as torn skies but nonetheless enlightening, were everyday occurrences during Lattimore's residency. Living small days with small tasks — feeling little dramas within the arcadian universe of a national park — rendered her the sense that disjointed spaces can be interconnected no matter the enormity that divides them. It's in this elastic scale of perception that something as simultaneously simple and intricate as Hundreds of Days can flourish.

It can happen here
Clowns who say outrageous things, who are completely unqualified for office, are very capable of being elected in America. They are entertaining, underestimated, and disasters in office. The highest office reached so far has been governor — think Jesse Ventura in Minnesota and Lester Maddox in Georgia. Closer to home was Evan Mecham, the governor of Arizona from 1987 until he was impeached and removed from office less than 15 tumultuous months later.
Mecham was a clown, given to conspiracy theories and outrageous statements — his "pickanniny" comment and blaming working women for high divorce rates were only two. But he had support from the state's right wing, especially John Birchers and fellow Mormons. He was a populist, after his fashion. In Mecham's world, the government was the enemy and cause of all ills. He wanted to eliminate income taxes and turn over the public's lands to state interests. A theocrat, Mecham wanted to have prayer in public schools. Threats were everywhere, out to destroy real Americans and the real America.
The toupee'd Glendale car dealer and serially failed newspaper publisher gave Carl Hayden a scare in the 1962 U.S. Senate race. Among his issues was a demand that the United States withdraw from the United Nations. Hayden's longtime aide Roy Elson organized a campaign to "reintroduce" the senator to a state he had served in Washington since 1912, but had attracted large numbers of newcomers since 1956. Hayden won comfortably, but many old Arizonans were unsettled. That anyone could get 45 percent of the vote against the state's indispensable man in the fight for the Central Arizona Project was astounding and deeply disturbing.
Mecham ran outsider campaigns for governor again four times before winning. As in 1962, each election he explicitly ran an insurgent campaign against elites and "the establishment."
His election was a fluke. In the 1986 Republican primary, he faced the respected state House leader Burton Barr, who was supported by the establishment, from Barry Goldwater to the Pulliam press. But Barr, a legislative wizard, ran a sluggish campaign. Turnout was the lowest in 40 years. And Mecham cleverly exploited the grievances and paranoia of newcomer retirees, adding to his Bircher and LDS base — people who did vote. On the Democratic side, and back then Arizona was a competitive state, Carolyn Warner was sandbagged by apartment magnate Bill Schultz, who got out of the race only to reemerge as an independent.
Forty percent of the vote was enough to put Mecham in the governor's office.
When Mecham was defenestrated, it was not a case of an upright paladin of the people, truth teller and the "Only I" who could save the state and nation being done in by the secret machinations of the evil establishment. Mecham did himself in, quite publicly.
To be sure, it was a different era. Arizona still had major headquarters and powerful civic stewards with personal stakes in the good of the state. The vast right-wing infrastructure had not yet reached the state level to the degree of today, where a national agenda of the private school racket, private prison racket, tax cut racket, and other hustles are implemented by dark money and slick "businessman-governors." The likes of Burt Barr and Paul Fannin (a real businessman turned governor and senator) would be horrified. What would Ev think?
[The real-estate developer] is tapping into much of the stew that goes back to Mecham and even before. A couple of things have changed. First, the Republican Party has become one flavor of extremist crazy and [the real-estate developer] says out loud what most of its members think but keep to themselves. And he adds his own distinctive, and often contrary to the party line, statements. Coming from someone who did not have what writer Ron Fournier calls the developer's "mendacity, megalomania, intolerance, and intellectual slovenliness," a few even have appeal.
Among the many things [the real-estate developer] has said is more solid support for infrastructure and passenger trains than has ever come from Hillary Clinton. I think it was a mistake to extend NATO to Russia's borders and "free riders" in the alliance are a problem. The Iraq war was a mistake. Political correctness is sometimes used to silence opponents and automatically invalidate their viewpoints. Can we keep admitting so many immigrants forever in a warming, destabilized world and wonder, at the least, why wages don't rise?
The trouble is, aside from the first point above, every other way [the real-estate developer] addresses these issues is with the scary tools of the demagogue. That he doesn't read books scares me even more — even W read books. He would appoint the extremist-right judges easily confirmed by a GOP Senate. He denies mainstream science on climate. And he would have the vastly expanded national-security powers of the presidency. All this makes him an existential threat to the republic. He cannot be allowed to win.
Yet he might. Clowns win. Evan Mecham was not a reality television star in a nation of vidiots. But Mecham slid into office in a splintered election. This year, we'll also see how many Americans want to waste a vote on Jill Stein or write in Bernie's name to show their own personal purity. Don't look for salvation in 2020, when America rises up as one liberal tide. Instead, I suspect a President Trump would pull a Mecham, with more dire consequences. He would then be impeached and removed by his own party — or by a military coup. Avoiding this, he would become the kind of strongman he admires around the world and 2020 will just be a year on the calendar.
AFTERWORD: As [the real-estate developer] continues with his outrageous statements, I have another thought. Right now, the Republicans are just focused on keeping Congress so they can impeach Hillary and prepare to win the White House in 2020. But what if [the developer] does a complete meltdown. Was Joe Scarborough telling the truth when he quoted a source saying [the developer] has asked why we don't use the nukes if we have them? Or is this the first step in removing him in favor of Paul Ryan. In many ways, the Speaker is more dangerous because he is considered a "serious" thinker and policy wonk by the media elites. Yet Ryan is in reality an extremist and the single most influential person behind the "austerity" that has so hurt the economy. A troubling thought.

soleri:
I'm guessing, because I'm no expert on things, that Trump has told himself so often that he's the most grandiose, deserving, and righteous of god's creatures. This unequivocal standing in the universe makes any pronouncement he trumpets the absolute immutable truth.
Just another case of someone else telling themselves the lie so long that they believe it.
Which is precisely why he can't see these fallacies as lies: He's programmed himself to delete any such possibility. He's in his own universe, untethered to any reality but his own narrative.

I get a lot of my philosophy from popular music, It's a different way of getting my truths but hardly wrong.
I think Fleetwood Mac, circa 1973, is apropos here in discussing Trump's rise.
The lyrics are from "Heroes are Hard to Find." Christine McVie is the author.
FLEETWOOD MAC LYRICS

"Heroes Are Hard To Find"
Girls you know
When you're in the mood
(In the mood)
You may meet a man
Can't do anything good
(nothing good)
But you've got to pity him
And try to understand
(understand)
That a hero, a hero is so hard to find
When he takes you
For his love
(for his love)
And he tries to tell you
That there isn't any other
(don't believe him)
Oh, he may kiss you
And tell you he'll miss you
(such a shame)
But don't forget, a hero is so hard to find
When he says hello
Don't forget they're all the same
(you know they're all the same)
You may end up sitting all alone
And with yourself to blame
Oh, don't you let him
So when he tells you
You've got diamonds in your eyes
(he's just lying)
Don't get carried away
Cause you know he's selling you lies
So when you get the feeling
The man you've got's no good
He's no good
Well just remember, a hero is so hard to find
Heroes, heroes are hard to find
Heroes, heroes are hard to find...
I think that the far-right wing Republicans are so eager for change that they'll accept anything, huge warts and all, that preaches change. They'll lionize that "changer" even if their message is interwoven with un-American and un-Christian diatribes focused on "outsiders."
As the song says, "Heroes are Hard to Find."
I don't need a hero in the White House (somebody smart is just fine), but I sure don't need a ZERO!
At some point doesn't "not knowing" about Trump's various lies, distortions, et cetera, amount to willful ignorance?
I mean, at this stage of the process they're not exactly well kept secrets. Even some of the Fox News hacks have acknowledged them.
Regardless of how "good" some people may be in every other aspect of their lives, the inability, or unwillingness, to see through Trump's phoniness, and to understand how dangerous it would be to have him anywhere near the presidency, makes them suspect as truly engaged citizens.
To quote Mae West, "goodness has nothing to do with it."

B. Franklin:
All I ask my president is: Be good, and if you can't be good, be good at it.

soleri and B. Franklin:
I have said all along that Trump is not tethered to any reality other than what he's told himself; I posit that many of those championing him are similar in their cozy, self-told realities.
Among those who support Trump the loudest are the evangelicals. I strongly suspect that many among them silently pray and wish for the Armageddon (let's call it World War III), because all those "heathens and non-believers" will "get theirs." These supposed believers will then ascend into heaven--and everything will be perfect.
Trump is their logical choice to join in the contretemps that will expand to Armageddon.
I speak with authority about God and Jesus Christ because, on a Sunday in May of 1965, I was in absolute communion with God, and, by my following description, possibly in a much deeper and more complete way than Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's. words of, "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord." The experience was, in my inadequate abilities of description, as if I were within God and God suffused my entire being. For that moment, I felt as if God was me, and I was God. The only sensation I felt was unfathomable and limitless love. This transfixing and transformative experience completely informs my life and guides my beliefs about the truly important things in this life. Because I DO know what God is about, my faith compels my speaking out about the wholesale injustices committed by those professing to believe in him.
If an entity such as an individual, organization, state, or country brings God into the equation of either its existence or mission, it is incumbent upon that entity in their conduct to behave as God would—to the best of their ability. That means with fairness, inclusion, and acceptance of everyone—with complete equality being the ideal.
I, in the strongest terms possible, vehemently believe that wishing for Armageddon IS EVIL AND DOING SATAN'S WORK!
To all the "Trump-eters and Trump-pets:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/ct-trump-romance-glanton-20160805-column.html
I call it the Trump "meltdown."
The Chicago Tribune is the Republican paper in Chicago. Always has been.
The last two columns have been mucho fun. Plus the singing poet, Soleri, returned with some words. Not his best singing poetic stuff but grounded sensible thought.
Thanks, Soleri for letting us know you are still out there peddling for a better planet.
So it looks like, according to Jeff Flake and others that, Arizona could slip into the Blue state column. That said, could be a game changer for the "senseless morons" like me that were going to write in Bernie.
I leave you with a quote.

No such thing as a protest vote?

Well you can breathe easy. Trump is through. His chances of the presidency were flushed down the toilet with that shameful Stephanopolis (spelling?) interview. I rarely watch network news but that night I was watching (well not actually watching but listening some of the time) the middle-of-the-night ABC's "news" show World News Now (WNN). They replayed the damming portion of the interview and I was simply aghast. I asked myself "How could you do this? Are you an idiot?" Well to ask the question pretty much answers it.
He can fold up his tent and go home. Some gaffs you can wait to blow over or apply spin to or do an issue "reset" and try to undo some of the damage. This is not that kind of gaff. We'll be seeing that tape over and over – I was a bit of it again last night WNN.
The election is HRC's for the taking. It would take a massive mistake on her part – and she knows it. She can put it cruise control and coast home. I'm sure she'll go back into her protective cocoon that she had to leave when the campaign seemed to be in free fall. All public appearances will be scripted and only safe issues discussed. All Q&A's will be prearranged soft balls.
It will be interesting to see how this is going to affect down-ticket races.
Hey Cal. You can feel doubly good; Cruz is through too. His National aspirations went down the tubes with his snit over the Trump nomination.
Now I've got figure out how not to waste my vote.

there is more on the ballot than for president. The danger with Trumps "falling off the wall" is Bernie folks and many others may not go to the voting booth.
Cal,
I don't think many of these religious hypocrites will be lifting off--if you know what I mean.
I as a Christian despise them.
Nobody is going anywhere.
We're stuck with them.
Many, if not most, of our Republican Christians share all of the characteristics of Christ--except for sympathy, empathy, charity, and compassion.
And they can howl all they like, but their actions speak much louder than their words.
B and B, short opinion: I respect your individual philosophy but I believe Organized Religion is the most dangerous enemy of humanity.

Cal, it's all "mumbo jumbo" to me.
Weird Ev may not have been a reality TV star (it hadn't been invented yet), but all those folksy TV spots he did for his Pontiac dealership sure kept his face in the public's mind between campaigns.
With comparable exposure, Ladmo could have won the governorship if he had decided to run.
Posted by: Chucko | August 09, 2016 at 01:30 PM
Ladmo would have been a great choice. With Gerald as secretary of state and Wallace as AG. And Monk as Sheriff and Larry Smith
(the monster in chains on the Wallace and Ladmo show)as my back up for fights at Ciots with Jack Elam and the Parson Brothers.
We could all hang out at The Curve with petite Susie Washam. On the road again in my four on the floor Chevy.
Truisms:
1. Religion exists so that poor people don't rise up and kill all the rich people.
2. NRA supporters make up a very small percentage of the population, yet are in the news constantly. It's a media problem, not an NRA problem.
3. LGBT supporters make up a very small percentage of the population, yet are in the news constantly. It's a media issue not a LGBT issue.
4. Abortions impact a very small percentage of the population, yet abortions are in the news constantly. It's a media issue, not an abortion issue.
We are split on every issue 50/50. Thanks to the media every issue is earth shattering and unsolvable.

AMEN, HELEN.
Welcome back Soleri!

Well put, and welcome back, Soleri!
Also, I agree with Cal that, while Trump is an qualified buffoon, he happens to be right that going to war with Russia over Ukraine would be insane. Neocon foreign policy has been disastrous. And purported liberals using red-baiting to attack Trump is pathetic. Trump has a plethora of disqualifying traits, and calling him pinko sympathizer is just dumb. The last thing we need is two parties that question the patriotism of those who question the wisdom of counter-productive wars.

Chris Thomas,
I think cozying up to Putin is as bad as going to war with him.
The middle course of keeping him at arm's length is best. Let Putin decide on whether he wants cooperation or standoffishness.

Good Wednesday morning. There are 92 days until Brexit Day.
BUT MUCH BIGGER THAN BREXIT: The 10 warmest years on record in the U.K. have all occurred since 2002, a new analysis from the Met Office has revealed. It makes the Times splash and is leading the BBC News website too.
THE LAST LEG: Boris Johnson is in Northern Ireland this morning for the final leg of his "awesome foursome" U.K. tour. The PM will hold separate meetings with the leaders of all five of Northern Ireland's main political parties — the DUP, Sinn Fein, UUP, Alliance and SDLP — as he tries to break the deadlock over power-sharing at Stormont. Johnson's coalicious allies the DUP got special treatment last night, however, with party chiefs Arlene Foster, Nigel Dodds and Jeffrey Donaldson treated to a slap-up private dinner with the new PM in Belfast. You'd imagine the aim was to ascertain exactly how much support Johnson can expect from Arlene and co. in the parliamentary clashes looming this autumn — and the price they will exact in return.
First read this: The DUP is relishing Johnson's hardline approach and does not believe he will backtrack in the weeks ahead, my POLITICO colleague Annabelle Dickson reports in her must-read scene-setter for today's summit. "We don't have to trust any of them," a senior DUP figure tells her drily. "We trust the parliamentary arithmetic." DUP Brexit spokesman Sammy Wilson adds bluntly of the new PM: "He relies on our votes. He also relies on a lot of votes within his own party. I suspect if he were to deviate from the plan he said he was going to follow, he will have bigger problems in his own party than he will with us. That is probably what will keep him honest."
Pressure on Julian: It's a first big outing too for Johnson's new Northern Ireland Secretary Julian Smith, who has bravely leapt straight from the hardest job in government right now (chief whip) to the second-hardest. Wilson tells Annabelle that Smith has had near-daily contact with the DUP's 10 MPs over the past three years and has a "good personal relationship" with DUP Chief Whip Jeffrey Donaldson and Westminster leader Nigel Dodds.
BoJo vs. Leo: It all follows yesterday's belated and very rocky phone call between Johnson and Irish PM Leo Varadkar, almost a week after BoJo took office. The new PM reiterated his hardline message on Brexit, and the talks were so unconstructive that his spokesman failed to even mention that Varadkar had invited him to Dublin for further talks. It seems fair to say that trip won't be happening soon. The Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph however both detect signs of a softening in No. 10 following Johnson's seemingly throwaway remark that Britain must leave the single market and customs union "in the course of the next couple of years." It seems the PM was referring to his hope that Europe may yet agree to a Brexit transition period, while ditching other key parts of the Withdrawal Agreement. Good luck with that.
But but but: Nothing Johnson has said has managed to stem the downward spiral of the pound, which plunged further yesterday as the new political reality crystalizes on the currency markets. The dip could not be worse-timed for No. 10, coming at the one time of year when people are actually paying attention to the exchange rates. "Hopefully holiday-makers will choose GB as a holiday destination," Tory MP Robert Halfon tells Bloomberg News merrily. Playbook suspects this is *not* going to be a Downing Street line to take.
No-deal fightback: About 1,000 hardcore Remainers were at last night's big People's Vote rally in Birmingham to hear the Tories' former Deputy PM Michael Heseltine take aim at his new party leader. "Instead of making judgements based on facts, expert opinion and sound advice, the government retreats deeper into the caves of their own prejudice where they only hear their own voices — or voices like theirs — echoing back at them," Heseltine raged. "In their world, it is all a great adventure. In this world, the poor Europeans need us more than we need them. In this world, we only have to wave the club of no-deal Brexit at 'Johnny foreigner' for him to come back to heel." Yikes.
No deal? No sex life: The "journo request" Playbook highlighted yesterday about the impact of Brexit on people's sex lives has now blossomed into a full article. "Definitely a huge turn-off," one correspondent tells Mashable's Rachel Thompson, on discovering her husband voted Brexit. "Sex ended. Divorce began." But another Remainer says he has recently discovered the joys of what Thompson calls the erm, "Brexit horn." "Now in a relationship," the bloke says, "and sex is actually more frequent, as we both seek sensory escape from the ever-growing despair." Every cloud has a silver lining, and all that.
FARMING TODAY
LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER: The Times and the Daily Mail both report Johnson's no-deal chief Michael Gove is preparing to blow £500 million a year of taxpayers' money buying up surplus lambs from farmers in the event of a no-deal Brexit. "The Times understands that under plans being finalized by Gove, who is in charge of Whitehall no-deal planning, the government will buy any lamb and beef at the point of slaughter at a predetermined price," the Times' Oliver Wright reports. "The commitment, costing half a billion pounds a year, will also cover some crops … However, farmers' leaders are concerned the scheme may have to last for several years while trade deals are negotiated. It may never make up for the lack of market access to the EU, which will be hard to win back even if a trade deal is eventually struck."
Next important question: What on earth is Gove going to do with all this lamb?
Playing chicken: This all follows Johnson's photo-friendly visit to a Welsh chicken farm yesterday, which was either a fabulous coincidence or final proof that No. 10 comms chief Lee Cain has a fine sense of humor. His fellow ex-Mirror Chicken Tom McTague — having been outed in Playbook yesterday morning — has now written a terrific think-piece for the Atlantic on the origins of the Mirror Chicken and what it tells us about the difference between U.K. and U.S. media. McTague notes — as did several other Playbook readers in emails and tweets — that the original 1997 Mirror Chicken famously got into a fight with a Tory staffer named Alex Aiken (pic here). Gloriously, 20-odd years on Aiken is now one of the most senior people in Whitehall, and will be working closely alongside Cain on the government's no-deal comms strategy. Funny old world.
Reality check: McTague does rather romanticize life dressed up as an enormous farmyard animal chasing Tory MPs around the country, however. Playbook spoke to a couple of other former Mirror Chickens yesterday who have less fond memories of life inside the red-and-yellow suit. "It's very hot in there and, to be honest, it can get rather smelly," one says. "The issue is there's just no ventilation inside the head. Your breath condenses inside the beak, and you get this pool of water building up in there. A little reservoir gathers, and then if you move your head sharply, you get splashback. It's pretty gross."

BACK HOME IN WESTMINSTER
BOOSTERISM LATEST: The FT, Bloomberg News and the Times all report Johnson is planning to unveil a huge new investment in the NHS and social care as he aims to take on Jeremy Corbyn on his own turf. Government insiders expect a multi-billion pound hospital-building program to be announced within days, the FT reckons, using money from former Chancellor Philip Hammond's so-called fiscal headroom. It will be twinned with the long-awaited white paper on social care, although the FT's source says this will be a "manifesto thing" that can only be implemented after an election.
Tanks on Labour's lawn: "The attitude used to be we could never win on health, and that drawing attention to it in any way — even if it was to point out more [spending] — just helped Labour," a Cabinet source tells the Times. "That's out of the window now."
Winning on health: The Guardian's Rowena Mason reports that Johnson's de-facto chief of staff Dominic Cummings has said that most Tory MPs couldn't actually give two hoots about the NHS, or indeed the lives of ordinary voters. "People think — and by the way I think most people are right — 'The Tory party is run by people who basically don't care about people like me,'" Cummings told a conference in 2017. "That is what most people in the country have thought about the Tory party for decades. I know a lot of Tory MPs, and I am sad to say the public is basically correct. Tory MPs largely do not care about these poorer people. They don't care about the NHS. And the public has kind of cottoned on to that."
Meanwhile 'boosterism' is definitely now a thing: "Boosterism is a cool word," a Johnson ally tells the FT's George Parker. "I think it will stick." He may be right. However Playbook reader Johnny Gibbs writes in to point out that boosterism was the central theme of Nobel Prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis' satirical novel "Babbitt," "about what might kindly be described as snake oil salesmen in 1920s America." Oh.
On the up: Still it looks like the Johnson strategy is working so far, on one half of the population at least. A new Times-YouGov poll puts the Tories 10 points ahead of Labour on 32 percent, up 7 points on a week ago. However the rise is almost entirely among male voters, the survey suggests. "We know Boris Johnson has a woman problem," Labour frontbencher Cat Smith tells the paper.
Meanwhile in Downing Street: BuzzFeed's Alex Wickham has done a terrific job compiling a list of all the ongoing staffing appointments inside Johnson's new-look No. 10. You can read them all for yourself here, complete with mini bios, but a couple of key hires to highlight yesterday are Political Secretary Danny Kruger and the first big lobby hire in the form of TalkRADIO's Ross Kempsell. Wickham also reveals International Trade Secretary Liz Truss has poached Nerissa Chesterfield from the IEA to be her new SpAd.
More where that came from: Playbook can chuck a few more SpAd moves into the mix this morning. Former whips' office SpAd Claire Coutinho is expected to join Rishi Sunak at the Treasury … Sonia Khan is also expected to stay on at the Treasury, with new Chancellor Sajid Javid … Business Secretary Andrea Leadsom has rehired her old SpAd Marc Pooler, but is still in need of a media adviser after Lucia Hodgson was poached by No. 10 … And Home Secretary Priti Patel has poached civil servant Hannah Guerin, who previously worked as Michael Gove's deputy PPS at DEFRA. Guerin will work alongside Patel's other new SpAds James Starkie and Charlotte Miller.
MEET THE NEW MINISTERS, PT III
LAST BATCH: Downing Street issued its final list of the new-look government yesterday, allowing Playbook to wrap up the pen portraits of new or reshuffled junior ministers. There's quite a lot to get through, I'm afraid.
Kemi Badenoch, education minister. Brexiteer and rising star. Former London Assembly member elected to parliament in 2017. Born in London to Nigerian parents, but grew up in Africa and the U.S. before returning to England aged 16. Skilled software engineer and systems analyst. Hacked Harriet Harman's website while a 20-something political activist to make it "say nice things about Tories." Apologized to Harman last year. Used to work for the Spectator, just like her new boss. Definitely one to watch.
Jo Churchill, health minister. Remainer. Promoted from the whips' office, despite the calamitous defeats of the last government. Personal highlight was forgetting to cast her own vote during Theresa May's final Commons defeat — which the government lost by a single vote. Here's the video of how she reacted.
Colin Clark, Scotland Office minister and whip. Brexiteer. Farmer from Aberdeen who ousted Alex Salmond as MP for Gordon in 2017. Brexiteer and first Scottish Tory to back Johnson for leader. Will be disappointed he missed out on the secretary of state gig. Turns out he's not even getting paid for the ministerial job.
Simon Clarke, Treasury minister. Hardline Brexiteer and Leave Means Leave supporter thrown into the Treasury to shake things up. History buff. Only 34 years old. Teesside lad who pinched Middlesbrough South from Labour in a rare Tory highlight of the 2017 election. Six foot seven inches tall, making him parliament's second-tallest MP. Nicknamed "Stilts" at school.
Mims Davies, work and pensions minister. Brexiteer, promoted from sports minister. Loves long-distance running, but says she's not much good at it. Used to be a presenter on local radio. It's short for Miriam.
James Duddridge, Brexit minister. Brexiteer and Vote Leave campaigner. Former banker with Barclays who ran its operations in Botswana. Africa minister under David Cameron, but immediately sacked by Theresa May in 2016. Spent the subsequent years on a one-man mission to force John Bercow from the speaker's chair. Failed. Great beard.
Nadine Dorries, health minister. Maverick Brexiteer. Daughter of a Scouse bus driver, raised on an Anfield council estate. Former nurse who ran a community school in Zambia. Has tried repeatedly to cut the time limit for abortions, but says she is "pro-choice up to a point." Former aide to Oliver Letwin, which is hard to imagine now. Dismissed David Cameron and George Osborne as "arrogant posh boys," but loves the latest Eton-educated PM. Famously skipped parliament to appear on reality TV. Was ridiculed for writing novels in her spare time. Now a best-selling author who commands six-figure advances.
Michael Ellis, solicitor general. Remainer. Trained barrister, promoted from transport in the reshuffle. Best known in parliament for getting a plaque installed in memory of his predecessor as Northampton MP, Spencer Perceval, who was shot dead in members' lobby in 1812. Best known in the press gallery for ludicrously over-the-top yelling and gesturing at Labour benches during PMQs.
George Freeman, transport minister. Remainer. Ex-public schoolboy and farming lobbyist. Father was a jockey who won the grand national. Liberal PM William Gladstone is also a distant relative, or so he says. Blue-skies thinker who used to chair Theresa May's No. 10 policy team. Yes of course she had one. Best known these days for setting up the Big Tent Ideas Festival, aka the "Tory Glastonbury." Backed Matt Hancock for leader; switched to Boris when he saw the writing on the wall. Rewarded with a job working for Grant Shapps. Such is life.
Zac Goldsmith, environment and international development minister. Trustafarian son of a billionaire Brexiteer. Kicked out of Eton for having weed in his room. Still protests his innocence. Keen environmentalist who idolizes David Attenborough. Now has cross-departmental role promoting green issues at home and abroad. Old friend of Boris and good mate of FLOTUK Carrie Symonds. Nice-guy image tarnished by ill-judged run for London mayor in 2016, where he attacked his Muslim opponent for supposed links to "extremism." Sadiq thrashed him anyway. Quit the Conservatives on a point of principle over their support for expanding Heathrow. Immediately lost his seat. Forgot about his principles and rejoined the party. Got his old seat back.
Luke Hall, communities minister. Remainer. Former supermarket manager from Gloucestershire. Started out stacking shelves in Lidl, ended up running Farmfoods across the South West. Only just turned 33.
Simon Hart, Cabinet Office minister. Remainer. Former Territorial Army chap. Ran the Brexit Delivery Group of pragmatic Tory backbenchers who tried to push through a compromise deal. Master of the South Pembrokeshire Hunt in the '90s, then ran the Countryside Alliance for seven years before his election to parliament in 2010. Fairly pro-hunting, as you'd imagine.
Nick Hurd, Northern Ireland minister, and also minister for London. Not sure how that works. Moved sideways in the reshuffle after two years as policing and fire minister. Remainer and unreconstructed Cameroon. Once modeled for mail-order catalogue Boden. Old Etonian and ex-Bullingdon Club member, like his new boss. Born into this — father, grandfather and great-grandfather were all Tory MPs before him. Even his father-in-law used to be a Tory MP.
Seema Kennedy, Home Office minister. Remainer and Tory rising star. Promoted from the department of health. Lancastrian born to an Iranian Muslim father and Irish Catholic mother. Family fled the Iranian revolution in 1979 when their home and family business were seized. Was working with the late Jo Cox MP on a cross-party "loneliness commission" before her Labour friend was assassinated in 2016. Has continued the work in Jo's memory alongside Leeds MP Rachel Reeves. Legal background. Going places.
Paul Maynard, transport minister. Brexiteer. Moves sideways from the ministry of justice. Only the second ever MP with cerebral palsy. Called out Labour MPs for mocking his disability in the Commons chamber soon after his election. Returns to the DfT after an 18-month hiatus, having been appointed and then sacked by the ever-decisive Theresa May, and then reappointed at the MoJ. Lifelong Tory who had tea with Margaret Thatcher when he was four. Former aide to Liam Fox and William Hague. Teetotal.
Johnny Mercer, minister for veterans' affairs. Remainer. Not your average MP. Former British Army captain who served three tours in Afghanistan before retiring in 2013. Once appeared in a "steamy" shower gel advert for Dove. Saved the life of fellow MP Scott Mann on an ill-fated boat trip. Another new minister who skipped parliament to appear on reality TV, although at least he won the show. Used to live on a houseboat on the Thames, but found the reality less romantic than he'd imagined. "I had this picture of waking up, having a coffee by the water," he said. "F***ing November, they found a body in there."
Anne-Marie Trevelyan, defense minister. Brexiteer. Quit as a government aide last year in protest at the Withdrawal Agreement. Former public schoolgirl and PWC accountant. Lives in a Grade I-listed 17th-Century mansion in Northumberland, which has been owned by the Trevelyans for 250 years. Likeable wing of the ERG. Bemoans the Tories' loss of younger voters and says her own teenage son would probably have backed her opponent in 2017.
Wendy Morton, justice minister. Remainer. Another promoted whip. Daughter of a Yorkshire farmer. Canal boat enthusiast. Runs a successful business with her husband, selling electronics to farmers around the world. Landed her West Midlands seat in 2015 after a wannabe candidate called Nick Timothy was blocked from standing by David Cameron.
Robin Walker, Scottish Office and Northern Ireland Office minister. Neither Scottish nor Northern Irish. In fact he's the MP for Worcester, just like his dad. Ex-public schoolboy. Genial chap. Moved sideways in the reshuffle from DExEU, presumably for voting Remain. Used to work for Roland Rudd at Finsbury, which probably didn't help.
Matt Warman, culture minister. Yet another promoted whip. Bravely voted Remain in 2016 despite representing Boston, Britain's most Brexity constituency. They voted him back in anyway the following year. Loyalist. Former Telegraph journo, like his new boss.
Heather Wheeler, Foreign Office minister. Brexiteer from Norfolk. Promoted from the ministry of housing, where she was homelessness minister. Unwisely described rough sleepers in her constituency as "the traditional type — old tinkers, knife-cutters wandering through." Had to apologize. Interesting choice for the diplomatic corps given she tweeted during the 2012 Olympics that if you added all the medals up, the "British Empire" had come out on top. Later explained her comments were "tongue in cheek."
TODAY IN WESTMINSTER
PARLIAMENT: In recess until Tuesday, September 3.
YOUTH VIOLENCE: Schools in areas with a higher risk of youth violence should be given dedicated police officers, MPs on the Commons home affairs committee say in a new report out this morning. The MPs say the current approach to violent crime is "completely inadequate" and radical action is needed, the BBC reports. Johnson made a crackdown on crime a central part of his Tory leadership campaign and you can expect this one to run and run in the months ahead. Johnson's new Policing Minister Kit Malthouse will be touring broadcast studios to respond to the report.
PRITI VS. FACEBOOK: Home Secretary Priti Patel takes aim at Facebook this morning following the "five eyes" security conference in London. Writing in the Telegraph, Patel will echo the calls of her predecessors for social media and messaging firms to give security services "lawful access" to encrypted messages through a "back door." We've heard this all before many times, of course, and you can expect the big tech firms to keep on pushing back hard.
CLAUDIA'S LAW: A new law named after missing chef Claudia Lawrence which helps families take over the affairs of loved ones who have disappeared comes into effect today. ITV News has more. Her father Peter Lawrence will discuss the law at a press conference in Westminster this morning, and provide an update on the decade-long search for his daughter.
INCOMING: The independent inquiry into historic child abuse will publish a report at noon on children in the care of Nottinghamshire councils, and the response from organizations such as Nottinghamshire police and the Crown Prosecution Service. One to watch.
NOT WESTMINSTER BUT: LBC Radio host and former Tory staffer Iain Dale kicks off a run of live political interviews at the Edinburgh Festival today, sitting down with Tory peer and former Party Chairwoman Sayeeda Warsi. Over the next couple of weeks his guests on stage will include Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell and even a revival of the Brandon Lewis-Eric Pickles double act. Regular Playbook readers will know Pickles and Lewis used to present a local radio show together called "The Eric and Brandon Show." And here it is.
Coming attractions: Dale announced yesterday he has a new book coming out next year on the decline in standards of public discourse. "Why Can't We All Just Get Along?" will be published by HarperCollins.
UNCORK THE GAUKE: Former Justice Secretary David Gauke is the latest senior Tory to consider a run for the chairmanship of the Commons Treasury committee, Yahoo Finances's Ben Gartside reports. Gauke used to work at the Treasury and is of course an avid Remainer, which must give him half a chance of success.

Researchers at MIT have created a new cryptocurrency which potentially minimizes the requirement for big data to participate in the network and verify transactions by upto 99% compared to other available cryptocurrencies.
The researchers developed Vault, a new cryptocurrency created on a cryptocurrency network called Algorand; it enables users to participate fully in the network by downloading just a fraction of the transactional data. The process reduces the data consumption by almost 90 percent and saves computer memory for other usages. In terms of memory, the design allows the network to delete any inactive accounts that are consuming more space to make room for credible transactions.
Vault carries out verifications with only the most recent transaction data that are shared and divided across the network. The process optimizes data consumption and process requirements.
The new development will be showcased at the upcoming Network and Distributed System Security Symposium. The paper for the research work is titled as a pun. A Vault is a platform where users can store money, but if any user joins a network, the blockchain allows them to 'Vault' over blocks.
While conducting experiments with Vault, the cryptocurrency reduced the bandwidth by almost 99 percent as compared to Bitcoin and Etherum, which are today's most reliable cryptocurrencies. Most importantly, the cryptocurrency delivers tight security as good as Bitcoin and ensures that all nodes validate all transactions.
Algorand is a cryptocurrency network which is decentralized, secured more scalable than other cryptocurrencies.


Stop Discrimination!!! Stop Killing Medicare Patients!!!
STOP DISCRIMINATION!!! Did you know… Medicare patients continue to be denied quality, affordable, and safe treatment options?
Medicare requires, but WON'T PAY FOR, an examination… when performed by their chiropractic doctor.
Medicare requires, but WON'T PAY FOR, x-rays… when prescribed by their chiropractic doctor.
Medicare WON'T PAY FOR physical therapy… when prescribed by their chiropractic doctor.
Medicare WON'T PAY FOR any services by a specialist… if their chiropractic doctor referred them.
Medicare WON'T PAY FOR any imaging (CT scans, MRI, Ultrasound, etc.)… when prescribed by their chiropractic doctor.
Medicare WON'T PAY FOR ANYTHING performed or prescribed by a chiropractic doctor other than a chiropractic adjustment… but they'll pay an untrained medical doctor (Manipulation: 835 hours – 0 hours… compare here) 400% MORE for the same service… that they've never trained to do.
It's absolutely ridiculous. The greatest shortage in the American health care system today, is primary care providers. How often do you hear someone say they can't get in to see their medical doctor for 3+ weeks? All this while 60,000+ chiropractic doctors could manage a huge percentage of those primary care visits, if only Medicare would allow it. Instead, we have to first refer to their PCP, who then refers to an imaging center, back to the PCP, then to the specialist… and on and on. Keep in mind, every step in this progression equals another out-of-pocket copay for the patient and more time without the care they need.
By far, the most common reason for a visit to the medical doctor is musculoskeletal pain. Sciatica, back pain, neck/shoulder pain, bursitis, tendinitis, tension headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. Study after study continues to prove that chiropractic care is the most effective, cheapest, and safest form of treatment for musculoskeletal complaints.
Chiropractic doctors take 549 hours more than medical doctors in orthopedics.
Chiropractic doctors take 193 hours more than medical doctors in anatomy.
Chiropractic doctors take 201 hours more than medical doctors in radiology and diagnostic imaging.
Chiropractic doctors are recognized and licensed in all 50 states and around the world as physicians. Regardless of etiology, they are trained to take a detailed consultation and history followed by an examination when dealing with their patients just like all other physicians. They are trained to diagnose the most likely cause of a complaint, and then to determine the next proper course of action… whether that is further testing, further imaging, referral, or advise treatment.
The discrimination against chiropractic by the insurance companies and Medicare is profit-driven, and is costing patients quality of life in addition to money. Our aging population deserves the best health care this nation has to offer. They will continue to take advantage of us until we band together and demand change. The American Chiropractic Association is spearheading this process and has launched a petition that simply asks legislators to correct the inequity in Medicare. Please take one minute and add your name to this list, and then share it with a friend.
Dr. Gray … PLEASE SHARE THIS AROUND!!! Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Reddit, E-mail, everywhere! Our Medicare patients deserve it!
Do You Love Going To Your Doctor?
Have you ever uttered the phrase, "I can't wait to go see my doctor?" Actually, this phrase could be used two different ways. On one hand, you could be stating that you're in so much pain that you can't put off getting treatment any longer. However, the context I'm referring to is that in which you are looking forward to and excited about going to your appointment. I would guess that most people have rarely, if ever, felt so strongly and happy about their health care that they were excited for upcoming treatment visits.
Back pain is the number one reason for missed time at work.
Chiropractic care is the fastest and most successful treatment option at returning patients to work.
Employers and insurers continue to ignore these facts.
In most states, Worker's Compensation claims must follow a certain order of progression. First, the employer admits the condition may be work-related. Then, the employer tells the employee where to go for evaluation and treatment.
Most employers really do care about their employees. They know what keeps their business running. The employer just wants their employee healthy and back on the job, so what do they do? They ask their insurance company where to send the employee. Here's where the disconnect comes in… The insurance company DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE PATIENT and doesn't want to PAY ANY CLAIMS. Therefore, they recommend a contracted office who is rewarded for minimizing the claim.
The patient/employee gets minimal care and is returned to daily life without addressing the underlying cause of the condition with which they presented. This leads to further injury or a worsening of the condition… often when the patient is not at work. The employer thinks and the insurance company claims that the condition is no longer work-related, therefore they are not responsible. Ultimately, the patient is saddled with increased expenses, increased time off work, decreased productivity, and declining health.
What's the answer? Employers must realize that THEY HAVE THE POWER AND CONTROL at the beginning of the case, and can make a more appropriate referral to a chiropractor first. Their unemployment insurance is still responsible and will cover their employee's expenses… and they will have a healthier, safer, and more productive worker back on the job sooner and with less expense.
How does Chiropractic help heartburn, GERD, indigestion, etc?
"How can you expect me to believe that popping my back will help my stomach?" I can't tell you how many times I've heard this from patients… or skeptics. "They can make your back feel better, but that's about all they're good for." Sound familiar? Well, hogwash! This is short-sighted and shows a glaring weakness in Western Medicine. The ultimate weakness and flaw in modern medicine is, of course, that it is primarily symptom based.
Think about it… Stomach hurt? Take Prilosec… Headache? Take a Tylenol… High blood sugar? Take Metformin… High cholesterol? Take Lipitor… Tingling in your feet? Take Neurontin… Almost every common treatment option is directed toward waiting for a symptom to start, then take something to help you ignore the symptom. The factor being overlooked is the original cause that led to the symptom.
Our body works on a primarily "cause-and-effect" relationship. Symptoms are merely one system of our body telling another system of our body what is going on, and the expression of how those systems react to the information available. When you put your hand too close to a fire, heat and pain are the symptoms that tell your muscular system to pull it back. When you have an infection, a fever is designed to raise the body temperature to a point which helps your body kill off the bug.
When you eat any food, your stomach produces a specific amount of acid and enzymes in order to properly digest exactly what you've eaten. When this is working properly, your symptom is that you feel good. However, symptoms such as heartburn and/or indigestion are warning signs that something within this chain of events is not working as it should.
When you take antacids for heartburn, Tylenol for fever, Lipitor for high cholesterol, etc., you are not treating the cause of your ailments. Frankly, you are only unplugging the "Check Engine" light that warns you of underlying dysfunction. When the "High Temp" light goes on in your vehicle, do you ignore it and keep going? Or do you first check the oil and coolant levels and determine why the car is overheating?
We've discussed other causes of heartburn and indigestion in the past, and have suggested alternatives to antacids and symptom controllers. The question for this post is, "What does chiropractic have to do with it?" For simplicity's sake, I'll mention the two most common ways that chiropractic alone can treat cases of G.I. dysfunction.
First, gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD is often caused by hiatal hernia. Hiatal hernia is when a portion of the stomach slides up through the diaphragm leading to back flow of stomach acids into the esophagus. Through gentle soft tissue manipulation, chiropractic is often very successful at pulling the stomach back down to its normal position below the diaphragm. This allows the diaphragm and lower esophageal sphincter to remain closed, preventing the back flow of acid into the esophagus. No more acid in the esophagus… No more reflux!
Second, the cause-and-effect relationships we discussed above, are absolutely dependent on communication between the different organ systems throughout the body. This communication is almost entirely run by the nervous system. In the most basic of description, your stomach sends information to the brain through the spine. Your brain sends information back to the stomach through the vagus nerve (which is one of the few nerves in the body that doesn't travel through the spine). If these nerve signals are interfered with, then the messages being sent to and fro get confused. The end result is too much acid, not enough acid, undigested food, and ultimately the symptoms we commonly associate with heartburn and/or indigestion. Chiropractic works to remove the interference of these nerve signals so that the body can communicate and function as it was designed.
It's that time of year again, boys and girls! It's hockey season!!!

We are honored and blessed to be an integral part of their health care regimen. These guys know what chiropractic does for them, both in injury recovery and for performance optimization. As sports nuts, we're just happy to be involved; but, it's so much more rewarding when we see guys on the ice and know that we're a part of the team.
So, what's all this about Free Mavericks tickets??? We'll be giving away a pair of tickets to most home games this year. To be entered in the drawing for a pair of tickets, we'll have a few different contests throughout the season.

Joe Montana and Joe the Plumber… What do they have in common?
Beyond the obvious of having the name "Joe," what do Joe Montana and Joe the Plumber have in common?
Joe Montana is a retired world class athlete and is considered by many to be one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. Life as a pro athlete may seem all fun and games, but 95% of it is hard work. From high school, through his career at Notre Dame, 13 years with the San Francisco 49'ers, and two years with the Kansas City Chiefs, there were daily workouts and hard exertion. Think about that for a second. Most of the time, all we see of pro athletes is three hours of a game once or twice per week. We watch and are amazed at their ability and strength. My question to you is, "Why should we be so amazed?" Look at the amount of work and effort they put in day in and day out when the cameras aren't running. They run, they stretch, they lift, they walk, they eat well, they drink tons of water, … they do whatever they can to play better and avoid injury. Of course their skills are more efficient and they have fewer injuries! However, for every Joe Montana, there are 100's of others who are working just as hard without the fame, without the glory, and without the fat paycheck. Thousands of athletes around the world will never achieve the level of success or be as good as Joe Montana, but they're willing to work every bit as hard for the same reasons… to play better and avoid injury.
Now, let's look at Joe the Plumber. Honestly, I just chose that name because it was recognizable but I could just as easily said Scott the Carpenter, Mary the Warehouse Queen, or John the Baker. The point is that regardless of what profession we choose, there is hard work involved. Every day, we have responsibilities that require us to physically exert ourselves. Instead of throwing a football, maybe it's swinging a hammer. Instead of catching a pass, maybe it's lifting a box to that third shelf. Instead of running 50 yards, maybe you have to stand on your feet for eight hours. If you think about it, we're all athletes. We're all playing this game of life… are you playing to win? Are you willing to work as hard as you can to play better and avoid injury? Just like professional athletes, we must also consider proper diet, regular stretching, exercise, and practice. If we want to live successful lives, we must be willing to do what successful people do.
As a part of his regular health regimen, Joe Montana regularly visited his chiropractor. He was seen on live television getting an adjustment before one of his four Superbowl wins, and has publicly praised chiropractic for keeping him healthy and helping him recover from injuries faster. Tom Brady of the New England Patriots recently said, "Chiropractic just makes you feel so much better. When I walk out of the clinic, I feel like I'm about three inches taller and everything's in place. And as long as I see the chiropractor, I feel like I'm one step ahead of the game." Tiger Woods, Evander Holyfield, Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Barry Bonds… all adamant that chiropractic is essential to optimal health and fitness.
If chiropractic can help the best of the best, think of how much more it can do for the rest of us.
Since our last post regarding testimonials, we have received a very humbling number of compliments and stories. Thank you to all who have submitted your testimonials so far, and we look forward to hearing from those of you who are still working on yours.
I don't know what I would have done without your help! You have a special love and compassion for people that are hurting and in pain. My dear husband, Hank, suffered dearly with rheumatoid arthritis and had to retire from GM at age 49. He fell a lot and couldn't do much walking. After years of pain, increasing debility, and every pain killer medication they could throw at him, we started going to Gray Chiropractic and he would get so much relief from his pain that he couldn't wait for his next appointment. Your treatments were really helping relieve so much pain and suffering. I just can't thank you enough. You are a great doctor, and I love and appreciate you so very much.
Now, if that doesn't melt your heart, I don't know what will. Thank you so much for these kind words! I just feel so thankful to have been able to help in whatever way I could.
If you, or someone else you know, suffer with Rheumatoid Arthritis, rheumatism, osteoarthritis, etc., I urge you to make chiropractic care an integral part of your treatment regimen. By their very nature, these conditions are neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) complaints… and there are no better NMS specialists than chiropractors. In addition to traditional chiropractic care, these cases should include recommendations on exercise, diet, physical therapy and concurrent pharmaceutical intervention when necessary.
Don't fall for the turf battles between professions. On one side, you've got chiropractors telling you that medical doctors are killing people with medications. On the other side, you've got medical doctors telling you that chiropractors are unsafe. Both sides are being disingenuous, and are just trying to get a bigger piece of the healthcare dollar. Make sure you choose doctors who are open to working with other professions. It is most often a combination of treatment methods that achieves optimum results.
Post a comment, shoot us an email, give us a call, or just stop in if we can assist you or answer any questions. Our staff of physicians and therapists are here to help and we look forward to earning another testimonial like the kind words above.
Great Testimonial! – Knee Pain – Thanks!
We often get testimonials in office and from emails. I'm going to start posting a few so you can see some of the results we are getting for a wide variety of conditions. If you wish to submit your own testimony of your results at Gray Chiropractic, please send them from our contact page (Click Here).
Thank you so much for those kind words, Dee! We are so happy that we've been able to help!
While not all cases respond as quickly as Dee's, we've got a wide selection of treatment options that we can choose from in order to address your specific condition. In the past month, we've had the pleasure of treating a whole host of knee complaints, such as: degenerative arthritis, chondromalacia patella, Osgood-Schlatter's Disease, sprained medial meniscus, sprained lateral collateral ligament, and more. On some cases, we've used infrasound. Some have responded to traditional chiropractic care. Some have done well with acupuncture. For others we've used ultrasound, rehabilitative exercises, etc. Often, the best results involve a combination of treatment options.
We would love the opportunity to work with you, too. If you've got knee pain, or other health conditions that we can help you with, please feel free to contact us.

My wife and I almost always attend the Remembrance Day ceremonies at Toronto's Old City Hall.
(I posted a piece for this blog about the ceremonies in 2012 (http://truthandshadows.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/peacenik-reflects-on-remembrance-day/).
I tend to agree with predictions that turnout this year may exceed previous years. Remembrance Day speeches, as well as the whole setup of Remembrance Day ceremonies, tend to ennoble if not glorify war. This year the homilies are certain to make reference to the events in St-Jean-sur-Richeleau and Ottawa.
Canadian authorities, it was reported, asked the FBI to assist in the investigation of the "terrorist" events in Canada. The FBI's record shows that the assistance would most likely be in sharing with their buddies north of the border in the finer points of how to mount a false flag op. Investigative reporter Trevor Aaronson's book The Terror Factoryexposes the FBI's inside role in creating "false flag terror." He writes that as of 2011 the FBI was involved in more than 500 cases of "manufactured" terror.
From Lee Harvey ("I am just a patsy") Oswald to Rolando Galman (who gunned down Benigno Aquino, Jr., former Philippine Senator, as he stepped off his plane, and then himself was gunned down) to the "Boston bomber" Tamerlan Tsarnaev, patsies or hired assassins tend to become deceased – quickly. Dead men tell no tales. Typically, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau and Martin Couture-Rouleau are no more.
Amy MacPherson of Free The Press Canada (https://www.facebook.com/FreeThePressCanada) hit the ground running in those first hours and days. On Tuesday, October 23rd she posted a lengthy piece, carried the next day on GlobalResearch containing damning evidence of rolling censorship on social media including Twitter and in mainstream media including the Toronto Star and the CBC.
"…how American intelligence knew the name of a 'possible terrorist' as the mayhem was still unfolding. How did Americans know when Canadians didn't, and how was this information so widespread that American media and Google had access to distribute, but domestic reporters on the scene did not?
Tom Walkom pointed out the events were not unprecedented. In 1984 a disgruntled Canadian Forces corporal killed three and wounded 13 in Quebec's national assembly. "We know," Walkom continued, "that in a situation like this, facts are secondary," and "at times like this, it is easy to lose all sense of proportion." Haroon Siddiqui asked why, "if Martin Rouleau, a.k.a. Ahmad the Convert," was in the crosshairs of CSIS and the RCMP for months, he was not being tailed.
"If the stratagem is not seen through, the second big boost to Harper will be to justify the despotic rule and quasi-police state he has built with ever more prisons amidst declining crime, ever more anti-terrorist rhetoric and legislation, ever more cuts to life support systems and protections (the very ones which would have prevented these murderous rampages), and ever more war-mongering and war-criminal behaviours abroad.

Beautiful Seren is a bright, 13hh mare who was born in 2011. She is very nervous but has learned the basics such as how to lead, pick up her feet. In July 2012 we had a call from a lovely lady who told that Seren was in a local pound due to be put to sleep so fortunately we were able to go and pick her up along with four other ponies.

Matt Stadlen
Caller says he won't register to vote because he's "disillusioned" with politics
The first caller is fed up with the political system - especially how the results of the Brexit referendum haven't been acted on.
Randall, a caller from Wembley, told Matt Stadlen that he won't register to vote in this General Election.
He's only voted once in life - and said that he generally has an issue with authority.
But, he said, it's more than his issues with authority that are preventing him from voting.
He said voters and non-voters are "thoroughly disillusioned" and are "fed up with this nonsense."
Caller says he won't vote because he's "thoroughly disillusioned" with politics. Picture: PA
He explained: "The referendum was called, people felt swayed to move came out and voted. The result was the result, whether you like it or not, and here we are. It's almost three years later and we still haven't left Europe. And you know, it's a nonsense and it hasn't persuaded me in the leas, to even think about registering to vote in this country."
He told Matt Stadlen that "it's a joke and our system is being shown up for the farce that it is".
He continued: "One might say 'I'm glad there is a system, at least it is a system, at least we're not in a dictatorship. I would go on to say in a dictatorship at least you know what the dictator wants he gets and you don't. The illusion that we have a choice is being shown up for what it is, it's an illusion."
If you, unlike Randall, do decide to vote - you can do so here.
