Q: Where can I find login/password information for connecting to local openSSH server started in Windows 7? I opened passwd file in etc directory but didn't find something useful. While installing openSSH I set password but for all usernames I input this pass I got "access denied". As SSH client I'm using PuttY.Where can I find right log/pass?

A: Problem was in Putty cyrillic encode. Login/password for SSH are same with existing Windows 7 login/passwords. Using console SSH instead of PuttY solved the problem.

Five observations from the Hawks' 107-84 loss to the Hornets
By Carroll Rogers Walton
So much for building on the Bulls win. The Hawks looked more like the team that lost back-to-back games to the Knicks to start the new year Wednesday night than one coming off a victory Saturday over the Eastern Conference's No. 2 Bulls.
After riding 33 points from Al Horford Saturday night, the Hawks got just two points from their gifted center while losing 107-84 to the Hornets, a team that had lost seven in a row coming into the game. Horford was 1-for-4 shooting in his lowest offensive output in almost five years, since Charlotte held him to 2 points on April 13, 2011.
The Hawks (23-16) lost their seventh game to team with a losing record. They had only nine such losses all last season. They had won 15 of 18 in the series with Charlotte prior to Wednesday's game.
The Hawks trailed by 15 points midway through the first quarter, didn't get a bucket from Horford until four minutes into the third quarter, and watched Charlotte stretch the lead to as many as 35 in the fourth quarter with Jeff Teague, Horford and the other Hawks starters watching from the bench.
The Hornets (18-20) are playing without stars Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (shoulder) and Al Jefferson (knee) but didn't show many deficiencies Wednesday behind 23 points from Kemba Walker for their first win in three meetings with the Hawks.
Three key players
Paul Millsap: He was the only Hawks player in double-digit scoring. Millsap had 20 points in 27 minutes on 7-for-12 shooting.
Kent Bazemore: He led the Hawks in scoring in each of their first two games against the Hornets this season with 19 points and 20 points respectively but settled for 9 points Wednesday on 3-for-9 shooting.
Cody Zeller: The Hornets are playing without Jefferson but Zeller is finding a home in the pivot and showed it with 19 points on 6-of-10 shots from the floor to go with 10 rebounds.
Five observations:
1. These Hawks are making a name as a perennially slow-starting team. They found themselves down 15 points in the first six minutes, making just 1 of their first 11 shots before Millsap drove the lane for a basket with 5:11 left in the first quarter to cut it to 17-4. Thanks to Millsap's eight points in 10 minutes the Hawks worked their way back to within 20-19.
2. The burst of energy didn't last, and the Hawks made just one of their first eight shots in the second quarter while the Hornets went on a 12-0 run. The Hawks came no closer than eight points in the third quarter while staying double-digits down for most of the second and third quarters.
3. Coming off a 33-point game against the Bulls, Horford did not score his first basket Wednesday until 7:59 remained in the third quarter and that was only the third shot he took. Horford spent a quiet first half, taking only one shot, committing three fouls, three turnovers and collecting one rebound in 17 minutes.
4. The Hornets are playing without some star power but Walker is still the player who makes them go, and the Hawks still struggled to find an answer for him. Walker led the Hornets with 23 points in 26 minutes on 9-of-13 shooting from the floor to go with five assists.
5. Millsap might have been the only Hawk who showed up to play. Kyle Korver tried to get something going with shots on three straight trips down the floor early in the second half but he made just one of them – a 3-pointer to cut Charlotte's lead to eight points. Teague made just three shots through the first three quarters. Dennis Schroder was 3-for-13.

Is there a way to configure a trigger such that when a new activity (call, meeting, task, note, etc.) is added in relation to another record (i.e. an opportunity record) the Date Modified on the related/parent (opportunity record) changes?
I'd like to find a way to change the Date Modified on an (opportunity/organization/client contact, etc.) record when an associated activity (specifically: call, note, meeting, task) is added and tied back to the (opportunity/organization/client contact). Is this feasible?
This would help with reporting - i.e. tracking stagnant opportunities. In this scenario, perhaps nothing on the opportunity record itself changes, but a new call, or meeting has been logged so progress is being made behind the scenes. If I could change the date modified on the actual opportunity record (only if the note, call, etc. has been tied to an opportunity or otherwise - I do realize they can be created independently), it'd be helpful!
ok, not a poblem. The standard value has been set on create and editing the activity has not trigger the calculation.
this will add +1 on every time you save the activty record and triggers the opp to higher the count.
Bud Hartley, give it a try, this may reduce the number of fields you need. I like your way of solving it and will give it a try because I bet it can be helpfull in similiar challenges!
ps.: if it works fine for you, please mark this thread as solved for helping others to find a solution.
Most important is the default value because it is added on create.
Formula causes that every change on a related activity will change the date modified of the opp... but I assume this is what you want because you presumably need to track changens on anything that happens to the opp.
Thanks for the response. This works, but only when a new activity is CREATED. If I go back in and update my note, task, meeting, call, etc. it does not update the date modified. I need it to update the date modified both when an activity is created an also when an activity record is updated.
I had a similar desire - I wanted to count the calls (and emails) sent to a Contact and to an Account along with the Date of the last Call or email.
Also, opening and saving (or at the next change) both fields update.
Can you explain how emails are handled? I don't see email fields in Studio. Thanks in advance.

Former DU star Tyler Bozak of the Toronto Maple Leafs will get a chance to visit with his old college buddies today after the Pioneers and Leafs practice separately at Magness Arena. Bozak, a second-year pro who would have been a senior at DU this year, plays his first game against the Avalanche at the Pepsi Center on Thursday.
By the time that game begins, DU will be in Green Bay, host of the NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional. The Pios are scheduled to fly out of DIA after a Thursday morning skate at Magness Arena.
I'll try to catch Bozak before/after DU's practice today and update.

Rose's Romance — Third Time Charm
Les Sonksen
Publisher: Trafford Pages: 344 Price: (paperback) $23.83 ISBN: 9781426906114 Reviewed: March, 2012 Author Website: Visit »
As someone who, according to this book's acknowledgments, has shared experiences with those serving in the United States Navy, author Les Sonksen, centers his story on 18-year-old Rose, who works and lives near the Norfolk Naval Station.
Given an ultimatum by her father, Rose has two weeks to move out, even though as a beautician she does not earn enough money to support herself. Rose's friends, Joe and June Reilly, rescue the heroine and introduce her to sailor Marvin Brown, who becomes Rose's first romance. Though Rose and Marvin seem ideally suited to each other, several complications spoil this romance, only to lead Rose to another relationship with a drug dealer.
Through a series of unbelievable events, Rose is eventually arrested and serves time in prison, after which she reinvents herself with the help of the FBI and finds a third romance. Amidst heartbreak, disappointment and prison, Rose never loses her positive attitude – to the extent that she appears one-dimensional. Though the reader is repeatedly reminded by almost every character in the book about how special Rose is, there is little in the plot line to back this up.
With the exception of a prisoner known as "Big Bertha," it is impossible to distinguish one character's dialogue and mannerisms from another. Long and unnatural stretches of dialogue bury a promising plot and confuse the reader. Although the story picks up the pace in the third part and works through some of the awkwardness, the dialogue remains a problem.
Romance fans may find satisfactions in the story, but only if they are patient enough to keep reading through the awkward beginning.

GAO Releases Report on HUD Rental Assistance Demonstration
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently issued a report at the request of Ranking Member of the House Committee on Financial Services Maxine Waters (D-CA) examining the public housing component of the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD). Congress created RAD in FY 2012 as a demonstration to test whether PHAs could leverage Section 8 rental assistance contracts to raise private debt and equity to make public housing capital improvements and thereby preserve low-income housing. One component of RAD initially allowed up to 60,000 public housing units to be converted from public housing capital and operating assistance to Section 8 project-based vouchers (PBVs) or to Section 8 project-based rental assistance (PBRA). Congress has increased the unit cap three times despite the absence of an evaluation of the impact of this "demonstration" on residents. The cap was recently raised to 455,000 units.
The report is entitled "Rental Assistance Demonstration: HUD Needs to Take Action to Improve Metrics and Ongoing Oversight." GAO found that HUD does not systematically use its data systems to track the effects of RAD conversions on resident households (such as changes in rent and income, or relocation) or monitor use of all resident safeguards. Rather, since 2016, HUD has required public housing agencies or other post-conversion owners to maintain resident logs and collect such information. But the resident logs don't contain historical program information.
According to GAO, HUD hasn't developed a process for systematically reviewing information from its data systems and resident logs on an ongoing basis. HUD has been developing procedures to monitor compliance with some resident safeguards—such as the right to return to a converted property—and begun a limited review of compliance with these safeguards. However, HUD hasn't yet developed a process for monitoring other safeguards—such as access to other housing voucher options. Federal internal control standards require agencies to use quality information to achieve objectives, and obtain and evaluate relevant and reliable data in a timely manner for use in effective monitoring. Without a comprehensive review of household information and procedures for fully monitoring all resident safeguards, HUD can't fully assess the effects of RAD on residents.
HUD officials stated that HUD intends to develop procedures to identify and respond to risks to long-term affordability, including default or foreclosure in RAD properties. However, GAO finds that HUD hasn't yet done so. According to federal internal control standards, agencies should identify, analyze, and respond to risks related to achieving goals and objectives. Procedures that address oversight of affordability requirements would better position HUD to help ensure RAD conversions comply with program requirements, detect potential foreclosure and other risks, and take corrective actions.

Cardinal Cupich at The University of Chicago Institute of Politics Nov. 6, 2017. Facebook / University of Chicago IOP

Cdl. Cupich: Pope's 'bigger agenda' focuses on environment, migrants, not sex abuse
archdiocese of chicago, blase cupich, carlo vigano, catholic, environment, homosexuality, migrants, pope francis, sex abuse crisis in catholic church, vatican cover-up
August 31, 2018 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Cardinal Blase Cupich is on the defensive after stating in a recent interview that Pope Francis has a "bigger agenda" than dealing with accusations that he and other Vatican officials covered up ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick's record of sexual abuse.
In an interview with Chicago's NBC 5 on Monday, Cupich argued that it would be "inappropriate" for the pope to answer questions about the matter, and that he needs to focus on other issues such as immigration and the environment. Cupich characterized the accusations made Saturday against the pope by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò as a "rabbit hole."
"For the Holy Father, I think to get into each and every one of those aspects, in some way is inappropriate and secondly, the pope has a bigger agenda," Cupich told the television station. "He's gotta get on with other things of talking about the environment and protecting migrants and carrying on the work of the Church. We're not going to go down a rabbit hole on this."
Cupich made the remarks in response to the question: "Does the pope need to tell Catholics exactly what he knew about Cardinal McCarrick and when he first knew it?"
Pope Francis has refused to answer questions from the media about Archbishop Viganò's statement, which holds that Viganò mentioned McCarrick's record of sex abuse to Pope Francis twice in 2013, and that Francis' response indicated he already knew.
After the quote was circulated on the internet by outraged Catholics, Cupich issued a statement claiming that the interview had been edited to give a "false impression" about what he was saying, a claim that the station denied.
"An NBC Chicago TV report that aired Monday night was edited in such a way that gave the false impression that Pope Francis and I consider the protection of children to be less important than other issues, such as the environment or immigration. Nothing could be further from the truth," Cupich declared Wednesday in a press release.
NBC 5 responded by placing more extensive segments of the interview on its website for the public to see, and rejected Cupich's claim of a "false impression."
"We believe our story to be accurate in that Cardinal Cupich was referring to the memo about sexual abuse allegations in question," the station said.

Francis' refusal to respond was 'exactly the kind of answer that was needed,' says Cupich
"I think that the Holy Father on the airplane had exactly the kind of answer that was needed," said the cardinal. "He was asked about the letter of the Archbishop Viganò. He said he read it. He encouraged the media to read it carefully and to come to their own conclusion, and that he would not have any final statement, any other statement on it. I think what he was signaling is two things. The first is that you have to see whether or not these remarks stand up to scrutiny."
"There are so many things in there that he [Viganò] says about so many people that it's impossible to try to get into the weeds on this," added Cupich, "and he [Pope Francis] trusts the media to use their skills, their expertise, and, he said, their maturity to explore these questions."
Later in the interview, Cupich returned to the idea that the pope didn't need to occupy himself with child sex abuse issues in the American Church.
"Let's be clear. I think it's important right now, in view of the letter that was issued today by the president of our conference, that this is not on the pope's plate to fix. This is on us," said Cupich.
"We, as the bishops' conference of the United States, obviously need to look at what went wrong here and hold each other accountable. So before we give the pope another task to do, let's look at what we're supposed to do. What's on our agenda to fix this? That's where the failure is."
Issue of homosexuals in the clergy are a 'diversion from the real issue,' Cupich holds
Cupich continued his line of denying that the Church's sex abuse crisis is related to a crisis of homosexuality in the priesthood.
"But let's also be clear that people who want to make this about sex, in terms of homosexuality and all the rest of it, are a diversion from the real issue that we need to attack in the life of the Church, and that is that there are some people who believe that they are both privileged and protected," he said, adding, "That wall has to come down."
Cupich's affirmations are in line with his consistently pro-gay position, which includes the claim that the molestation of thousands of adolescent males by Catholic priests is unrelated to homosexuality in the clergy. They were made in apparent response to Archbishop Viganò, who stated on Saturday: "Regarding Cupich, one cannot fail to note his ostentatious arrogance, and the insolence with which he denies the evidence that is now obvious to all: that 80% of the abuses found were committed against young adults by homosexuals who were in a relationship of authority over their victims."
'Small group of insurgents' rejects Francis agenda, doesn't like him because he's 'Latino'
"I would say, I would say not a civil war. There's a small group of insurgents, who have not liked Pope Francis from the very beginning," said Cupich.
"They don't like the fact that he's calling for more lay involvement. They don't like the fact that he is calling for a synodal Church, where we get the advice of people. They don't like that he's talking about the environment or the poor or the migrants or that the death penalty is something that we should outlaw. They don't like the fact that he is saying that economies kill. There are people who don't like that message," he claimed.
"And so there's an insurgency of people who don't like that. And, quite frankly, they also don't like him because he's a Latino and that he is bringing Latino culture into the life of the Church, which we have been enriched by and I think that that's part of all of this too."
Popes John Paul II and Benedict didn't act against McCarrick, but Francis did, Cupich claims
Cupich contradicted claims by Viganò claiming that Pope Benedict acted to discipline McCarrick, which were confirmed to the National Catholic Register by an anonymous source with access to Benedict. According to Cupich, Pope Benedict did not act, while Francis did. He also implies that Francis didn't know about the McCarrick case until recently.
"My experience with the pope is that as soon as he knows about something, he acts on it. As soon as he's given evidence about this, he acts on it," said Cupich.
"Let's remember the accusation of Archbishop Viganò is that this information was known under the pontificate of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. But who was the one who took action? It was Pope Francis. When Pope Francis received the report from Cardinal Dolan, who did his job in accord with our Charter, he acted right away. So I think that the record shows that whenever there's actionable information, Pope Francis acts."

But the country is especially wonderful if you happen to love food and wine. Beyond Spain's largest cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, which are both well-known havens for foodies and winos, there are a number of smaller cities, towns and villages to eat and drink your way through. ¡Vamanos!
Segovia is the perfect day trip escape given its proximity to Madrid. While it's best known for its ancient Roman aqueduct and charming architecture, one lesser known aspect about this city is how amazing the food is.
A small town about an hour outside of Madrid, this village is known for its magnificent Roman aqueduct, its castle, rumored to have inspired Walt Disney and its gorgeous Cathedral. But the food is no joke, either, and the best way to enjoy a meal there is with a Menú del Día, a fixed-price daily lunch menu which comes with a starter, main course, dessert, bread and a drink.
Taste: Segovia's most revered dish, cochinillo, the roast suckling pig.
Drink: over 20 wineries are scattered throughout the Segovia region, so try a local red.
This cultural gem is mesh of both Arabic, Jewish and European heritage, and it's one of the best places to do a tapas bar crawl. Escape the tourist crowds by exploring the Triana neighborhood on the other side of the river. You may even catch locals in spontaneous outbursts of flamenco song and dance.
Taste: solomillo al whiskey, a tender cut of meat marinated in whiskey.
Drink: manzanilla, a light variety of sherry.
Well off the typical tourist radar – foodie travelers would be remiss not to make a stop in Oviedo in the heartland of Asturias, Spain.
The Asturias region of Spain is a well-kept secret — known among Spaniards for its idyllic, mystical beaches and its green, lush terrain. Food is hearty and flavorful, and you could spend days indulging in the various Cabrales cheeses and chorizos offered around town.
Taste: a typical fabada stew, made of white faba beans.
Drink: Sidra, Austurian apple cider. Hint: try pouring it at your own risk.
Known as one of the world's most delectable foodie spots, San Sebastián has has the highest number of Michelin stars per square meter in the world. But you don't have to spend a lot to eat well there — there's plenty to fill the bellies of mid-range and budget travelers too.
Taste: pinchos, small tapas on a stick. Try high-brow, gourmet ones at fancier spots, and home-cooked, hearty ones at low-key bars.
Drink: Txakoli, a dry white wine with a light sparkle coming from the nearby village of Getaria.
Granada is another city that's all about tapas – and you might even manage to get them free when ordering drinks. Plus, a sunset over the Alhambra palace while chowing down is the ideal way to end your day.
Eat: literally any free tapa offered to you.
Drink: a crisp, cold Alhambra beer.
Known for its famous tapas street Calle Laurel, plan to get your fill of creative eats on this street, while also checking out the town's massive cathedral.
Eat: patatas a la riojana, a substantial potato stew filled with chorizo and paprika.
Typically off most tourist's radars, Trujillo is a hidden, charming and ancient gem for food and wine lovers.
Located in Spain's Extremadura region, this area is often forgotten about by tourists, meaning you'll have a real, local taste of Spanish living. Plan your trip around the town's famous cheese festival, which occurs every year at the end of April/early May.
Taste: Anything topped with pimentón de La Vera – the region's locally grown paprika.
Drink: Local Extremeño wines are known as Vinos de la Tierra, earthy and strong.
It's not just the end point for pilgrims walking the famous Camino de Santiago – it's a beautiful, historical city known as the seafood capial of Spain. Some of the fish markets in town even have small restaurants inside where you choose your fish in the market and bring it over to the grill, paying a couple euros for them to fry it up for you.
Taste: Pulpo a la Gallega, boiled octopus with potatoes, topped with paprika and salt.
Drink: Albariño wine, a crisp, fruity white that pairs perfectly with seafood.
I could see Snow White living in Segovia and it sounds like there is plenty to drink for those pesky dwarfs. Trujillo interested me too. I love a good cheese festival and having the place to live like a local would be fabulous. I also love that the festival is in the spring and deconflicts with the wide variety of fall festivals in the world, particularly Spain.
Segovia is absolutely magical, right out of a fairy tale! Trujillo also really takes you back in time to Medieval moments…and the nearby city of Merida has an ancient Roman amphitheatre still used for concerts today. I hope you'll be able to visit!
I've heard that Sevilla & Grenada are beautiful cities, now I know that there are good wine and good food too!
I would love to visit all 20 wineries in Segovia, plus the castle loos beautiful!
The castle is truly a wonder!
I've still never been to Spain and this post makes me want to go so bad! Honestly, all these smaller towns and the castles make me want to visit Spain so much more than seeing the bigger cities! San Sebastián and Granada look so stunning! Definitely saving this to refer to!
Glad you enjoyed the article. You should keep an eye out for flight deals to Spain, they are always popping up!
Have only been to Seville and Granada and loved the sherry there. Lighter and sweeter! Booking marking this article so I know what to get when we make it back to Spain again.
I love love love Spain! Rioja is one of my favorite wines only surpassed by Tuscan wines. I also didn't know there was an Alhambra beer. I'm so looking forward to my next adventure to Spain. Thank you for adding a few new locations to my list.
Alhambra is definitely the best beer in Spain, in my humble opinion. And I agree — between Rioja and Tuscan wines it's a very close call!


Inbound marketing has proven to be one of the most effective ways organizations not only can get their message out, but studies indicate it generates three times more leads at 62 percent less cost than traditional marketing strategies such as costly advertising.
It has also proven to be especially effective in the B2B marketplace.
• Increasing quality leads to your company. Visitors who take the time to read and understand the content on your site have already developed a connection to your company, making them more comfortable to make a purchasing decision.
• Increasing sales. With new leads come sales.
• Cost savings. If more leads are coming in and resulting in more sales from the inbound marketing site, it may be time to reevaluate the need for other more costly marketing programs.
• Retention. One of the most valuable benefits of an effective inbound marketing program is that it can keep current customers loyal and "emotionally" connected to your company.
• Upsell. Related to customer retention, an objective of an effective inbound marketing program is to encourage customers to select more products and services from your company.

A full weekend day without rain. Wow. I mean. I'd heard legends but… just wow.
So I immediately took full advantage of the day by sleeping late. Crud.
I may need to rename that thing Sid. I also reground the stanley blade in my #5½ record to put a less aggressive camber on it than sid's, so that I'd have a second scrub plane but with a longer base. And I cleaned up the bevel on the new record blade I got for the #5½ (the stanley blade didn't match the cap iron so it was pretty awful as a normal jack plane blade; so now it's the scrub blade and the new one's the jack blade). With all that done, I got out the sandpaper and diamond plates and started sharpening blades (and for the hell of it, lapped the sole of the POS scrub plane too, and it seriously needed it). I even tried freehand sharpening for the scrub planes with half-decent results (turns out an eclipse jig does a pretty good job teaching your muscles what the angles feel like).
And finally, an hour or so after starting, I was ready to start. Bloody hell. I know if you're given ten minutes to chop down a tree you should spend five minutes sharpening the axe, but I'm starting to think whomever said they could sharpen an axe in five minutes was a lying person of questionable parentage.
I was just about to cheer and then I remembered that the benchtop has two sides.
And then, right when I'm about to start cheering, check for twist.
OH COME ON!!! Stupid wood.
I think it's flat enough for now….
I'll admit to using a small set square to watch the vertical orientation of the blade initially, but mainly I was just too busy being blown away by how much easier this is on top of a robust benchtop with firm clamping of the workpiece and at a height that was comfortable. I can't saw to a line to save my life on the workmate; I've tried enough times to convince me to spend money to buy a mitre saw. But the very first cut on the benchtop with a brand new saw and without even having the bench assembled or the vice attached?
I am waaaay too happy about that one cut. I mean, this is the point where I say something that starts with "Booya" and ends with HR having a discussion about inappropriate words for the workplace. But I'm a nontrivial amount of cash into this project so far and this was the first indication of what the bench would be like to work on and WOW is it ever worth it.
Anyway, finished cutting the new board to length – by the way, the most difficult thing about using a large Japanese saw is resisting the urge to swing it round your head, scream lip-synced gibberish and attack Godzilla by trying to saw through his ankles. If you can avoid that, they give great results pretty readily. Then I set up the clamps and got out the greaseproof paper, did the dry run and then did the actual glue up, making sure to not let the unplaned edges line up with the planed edges of the leg (so now both the unplaned edges are proud of the planed surface on the leg so I can plane them all down more readily).

I'm a feminist because...
The famous faces celebrating being a feminist...
By Kate Gilbert
From Arianna Huffington to Emma Watson, these are the reasons why these women are proud to call themselves feminists.
'I am a feminist because a lot of amazing women have made me who I am today'
'What we're saying is we need to reshape the world in which women are participating. Not just break through ceilings in the current broken system.
We have to get away from the way men have constructed work around war metaphors and sports metaphors and praising each other for working 24/7, working round the clock – these phrases simply encourage a very destructive way to lead our lives, and we are paying a very high price.'
'I am from Britain and think it is right that as a woman I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body.
I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decision-making of my country. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights.
No country in the world can yet say they have achieved gender equality.'
'It takes years as a woman to unlearn what you have been taught to be sorry for. It takes years to find your voice and your real estate.'
'Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights. Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely - and the right to be heard.'
From her book Hard Choices
'I'm a feminist because I believe in women… it's a heavy word, feminism, but it's not one I think we should run from. I'm proud to be a feminist.'
'The idea of being a feminist - so many women have come to this idea of it being anti-male and not able to connect with the opposite sex - but what feminism is about is equality and human rights. For me that is just an essential part of my identity.'
'I am a feminist. And I'm so glad that Lena Dunham exists, because she is one too, and she's quite vocal about it. Yes, women have more freedom and more influence than ever, but it's hardly equal. I have real anxiety about directing, and that's something to question and challenge and correct.'
'I absolutely considered myself a feminist before I transitioned. I think it's the lived experience of being a woman and what it means to be a woman in public space and how men relate to me.'

Former Paul Manafort Employee: I Watched Him 'Bend and Break the Rules'
By Chantal Da Silva On 8/20/18 at 10:26 AM EDT
U.S. Paul Manafort
Washington, D.C., international consultant and lobbyist K. Riva Levinson, whose career started with a position working for Paul Manafort in 1989, said the former Trump aide was known to "bend and break the rules" decades ago.
With a jury deliberating for a third day on Monday whether to convict President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman on 18 counts of bank and tax fraud, as well as failing to disclose overseas bank accounts, Levinson said the indictments against Manafort, now 69, "were predictable" given his past behavior, in an opinion piece for The Hill.
The lobbyist, who penned a book in 2016 called Choosing the Hero: My Improbable Journey and the Rise of Africa's First Woman President, about her work helping propel former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to victory in 2005, said she always knew her memoir would open in Mogadishu, Somalia, where Manafort sent her to "secure a million-dollar contract with a murderous dictator named Siad Barre."

On August 20, a jury will deliberate for a third day as to whether to convict the former Trump aide on 18 counts of bank and tax fraud, as well as failing to disclose overseas bank accounts.

Barre served as the president of the Somali Democratic Republic from 1969 to 1991, when his government collapsed after the Somali Rebellion removed him from power, leading to the Somali Civil War and forcing him into exile.
"It was a pointless and soulless mission in which everything that could go wrong, did go wrong," Levinson wrote of the mission she was assigned while working at Manafort's bipartisan lobbying firm, Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly (BMS&K).
"Soon after I arrived, armed rebels closed in on the capital. Driving rains washed out the dirt roads and set off a biblical plague of flying monster bugs. The Somali Air jet scheduled to return me safely to Nairobi was commandeered to Libya to collect weapons by the man who was supposed to sign the lucrative contract I was carrying," she said.
Levinson said that after having to "negotiate my way out of the country and return to Washington via Cairo—without a contract," she swore to herself, "I will never forgive Manafort for sending me into this madness."
The author said that while she "will always remain grateful to Paul Manfort for giving me a chance to learn first-hand how world events are often shaped," the BMS&K head did not bat an eyelash at "the collateral damage" of his actions.
"He said to me before I took off for Somalia in 1989, 'We all know Barre is a bad guy, Riva. We just have to make sure he is our bad guy,'" the lobbyist said.
"I saw in Manafort no evident distress about the collateral damage that unfolded, the lives that were damaged or lost. He could self-justify anything," Levinson wrote. "And as time went on, it seemed to me that he became all about the money. I and my colleagues were left to defend the extravagant expenses he charged to our clients."

"I watched Paul Manafort bend and break the rules, and so did everyone else, until eventually the firm's new management asked him to leave," she wrote, adding, "I left him too."
The lobbyist said she had not seen or spoken directly with Manafort since 1995 and believed the indictments against him were "predictable in the trajectory of his professional behavior."
"We joked at BMS&K that Paul 'was the master of his own universe,' meaning he did what he wanted, when he wanted. Paul never believed that the rules applied to him," she said.
Levinson said that former BMS&K workers "who feel tainted by the charges against our former boss" should "remember that we were more than Paul Manafort."
"We worked on projects of real consequence. We learned so much and formed lasting friendships with each other and around the globe," she wrote. "We are not defined by our setbacks, but how we overcome them, and the lessons we take away."
Manafort has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges laid against him.
In total, the statutory maximums of the counts laid against the former Trump aide suggest a possible prison term of up to 305 years, according to Reuters.
However, experts estimated that Manafort would be more likely to be given a sentence of seven to 12 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

CBD oil, or cannabidiol, is extracted from the cannabis plant – but before you worry that it's some kind of drug, know that CBD oil is simply a supplement and can be consumed without concern for any psychological effects. With people increasingly concerned about their health, CBD oil is gaining in popularity. New Labs CBD is FDA approved for consumption by everybody, regardless of age, and can even be given to pets.
Before explaining more of the benefits of CBD Oil, here's some more information on the product. CBD is available in many forms, including oil, crystalline, and powder. Sold by New Labs CBD is CBD oil and capsules that are easy to measure and use without having to worry about taking too much. Their product is the purest form of the extract, with all unwanted ingredients from the cannabis plants removed, including waxes and other plant materials. The unflavored CBD oil has no odor and is convenient to add to food, tea, or coffee.
CBD is best used as a supplement to your diet. You can add a small amount to a salad, drink, shake, or many other foods. Since the oil is pure and highly concentrated, just a small amount each day will do.
In terms of benefits, CBD is being used in countries like Canada as a therapeutic remedy for certain ailments. The fact that cannabis has many medicinal properties is well-known, and many states in the United States have legalized its medicinal use. CBD extract is legal in all 50 states and provides a way for the average consumer to reap the benefits of cannabis.
Once people start using CBD and seeing the benefits, they may experiment with adding CBD oil into various dishes. If you have any concerns about the right dosage or any possible age restrictions, consult with a physician, especially before giving it to children. Cookies, smoothies and ice-creams are some of the foods people add CBD oil to. If you already use other oils in your food, you can add this CBD oil without any change in texture. CBD oil can even be added to desserts. As CBD oil can break down in high heat, it should be added after cooking for best results.
Some CBD users have reported on blogs and other posts about their experimentations with CBD oil. One person mixed CBD oil with another oil, such as coconut oil, and held it under their tongue for a few minutes. This way, the oil is directly absorbed into the blood stream. Some people also vaporize and inhale CBD oil with a special vaporizer. The temperature at which CBD oil breaks down is around 200 degrees Celsius, so it should only be vaporized with the appropriate device. Some stores sell oil specifically made for vaping, and often sell the vaporizers to go with it.

« Are People Rational About Gas Prices?
Time to Revisit Smith vs. Maryland »
The Connection Between Paul Ehrlich and Immigration Opponents
Reason's Hit and Run points to this article by Chirstopher Hayes that helps connect the dots. The founder of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and NumbersUSA, both prominent conservative anti-immigration groups, is John Tanton. Apparently, Tanton's roots are in Ehrlich style population bomb limits-to-growth zero-sum fearmongering.
In 1968, a Stanford biologist named Paul Ehrlich made these ideas mainstream
with his book, The Population Bomb. With terrifying certainty, Ehrlich
argued that the exponential growth in population and the incremental growth in
food could only mean one thing: mass famine. "The battle to feed all of humanity
is over," the book begins. "In the 1970s "¦ hundreds of millions of people are
going to starve to death."
It was an instant sensation, turning "overpopulation" into a hot topic and
landing Ehrlich repeatedly on "The Tonight Show." Tanton had been ahead of the
curve. As early as the '50s, he avidly read reports from the Population
Reference Bureau, and by the time Ehrlich's book was published, he and Mary Lou
had already started work on the first Northern Michigan chapter of Planned
Parenthood. "I believed in the multiplication tables," says Tanton. "Since I was
a physician and could do something about birth control, it struck me that this
was where I could make my contribution to the conservation movement."...
Tanton, whose worldview was forged in this intellectual milieu, is haunted by
the spectre of an apocalypse just over the horizon, and the thought that he is
one of a select few who see it coming. Sitting at his desk during one of our
interviews, he reaches into a drawer, withdraws an electric metronome and flicks
it on. As the device pulses at 135 beats per minute, he explains that each beat
is a new birth (at the 1969 rate), and each new birth requires resources: food,
clothing, education. It's a trick he used when he gave talks on population in
the '70s, and it's effective. His voice barely rises over the percussive
onslaught, and after just 30 seconds you want to yell: "Make it stop!"
I never really realized this connection or Tanton's roots (for reasons outlined below, his public message has moved on from environmentalism and overpopulation). Tanton's real reason for being anti-immigration is this:
He explains that reducing immigration will force countries like Mexico to
confront their own population growth rates. "Each country," he says, "ought to
try to match its population to its resource base."
Whatever the hell that means*, since the amount of population the
world's "resource base" is able to support has grown exponentially over
the last 100 years. But the really, really nutty part, the part that
separates him from the just-plain-wrong Ehrlich types, is the fact the
he thinks this resource matching has to proceed country by country. No
global markets for this guy, I guess. Somehow people crossing an
immaginary line in the Sonoran desert makes the population less
sustainable? On the south side, things are OK, but move 100 miles
north and suddenly the world is doomed?
In fact, the reality is just the opposite, for the same reasons that
Ehrlich's population bomb theory went bust -- which is that increasing
wealth and technology always tend to lower birth rates. So I would
argue that immigration from Mexico to the US, with the wealth creation
potential that provides the immigrants, is likely to result in a net
reduction of world birth rates.
Of course, Tanton has moved on, because the immigration movement could
not get excited about his environmental message and environmental
groups couldn't make heads or tails of his immigration message.
Crisscrossing the country, Tanton found little interest in his
conservation-based arguments for reduced immigration, but kept hearing the same
complaint. ""ËœI tell you what pisses me off,'" Tanton recalls people saying.
""ËœIt's going into a ballot box and finding a ballot in a language I can't read.'
So it became clear that the language question had a lot more emotional power
than the immigration question."
Tanton tried to persuade FAIR to harness this "emotional power," but the
board declined. So in 1983, Tanton sent out a fundraising letter on behalf of a
new group he created called U.S. English. Typically, Tanton says, direct mail
garners a contribution from around 1 percent of recipients. "The very first
mailing we ever did for U.S. English got almost a 10 percent return," he says.
"That's unheard of." John Tanton had discovered the power of the culture
The success of U.S. English taught Tanton a crucial lesson. If the
immigration restriction movement was to succeed, it would have to be rooted in
an emotional appeal to those who felt that their country, their language, their
very identity was under assault. "Feelings," Tanton says in a tone reminiscent
of Spock sharing some hard-won insight on human behavior, "trump facts."
I have never, ever understood why Americans get so unbelievably bent out of shape when they encounter a language other than English, but unfortunately this bizarre brand of xenophobia is fairly prevalent in this country, and Tanton has taken to tapping into it. The article continues on to describe how Tanton has been very successful in making common cause with a broad range of people, from liberal activists to outright racists.
I found the article interesting as much for the descriptions of all the tactics and campaigns that failed to motivate the anti-immigration base in the past. My sense from the article is that Tanton understands full-well that if the illegal immigrants were actually 12 million Canadian English-speaking Anglos, he would not be having near the success in getting people riled up about immigration.
* its amazing how many people talk about the world approaching some resource limit, but in fact no one has ever offered any shred of evidence as to where the world's population is vis-a-vis some mythical "carrying capacity". Every prediction that we are approaching the limits of growth have been wrong. Julian Simon pointed out that the only resource that matters is the human mind, and it never runs short. He used commodities prices to prove his point, and beat Ehrlich in his famous bet.

World's population is, and should not be, constrained by what you beautifully name "some mythical "carrying capacity"".
BUT the problem is not one of carrying capacity, really, but rather of quality of life. Should all countryside become a suburb, just because it can be done and sustained?
Technological progress means the world can certainly feed an ever increasing number of people, but the cost is not hunger: it is congestion and loss of beauty.
There is a trade off between populationgrowth and quality of life; focusing on the "hunger" or "support" arguments is misleading.

Ingrown toe nail is painful and annoying. If it gets complicated it may require a surgical intervention. But there are home remedies for ingrown toenail that we have enlisted in this article.
When the edges of nails grow into the skin surrounding the nail it is termed as an ingrown toenail. This condition, mostly affects the big toe.
Ingrown toenail may happen due to incorrectly cutting nails, curved or irregular nails, tight footwear that puts lots of pressure on toes, toe nail injury, poor posture and not keeping your feet dry and clean.
An ingrown toenail is common in people with sweaty feet. Old people are also at high risk as with age their toenail thickens. Athletes who extensively use their feet in activities that puts pressure on feet for long periods are prone to ingrown toenails. Those with diabetes and poor circulation are at the risk of complications.
An ingrown toenail is painful. The symptom starts with swelling and tenderness. There is pain when pressure is placed on the toe and fluid starts building around the toe. If toenail gets infected, then along with swelling and pain, there is oozing pus and bleeding and also there is overgrowth of the surrounding skin.
Before the symptoms get worse, it is advised to try home remedies for proper treatment. Below are the list of home remedies for ingrown toenail.
Baking Soda is a natural antiseptic. It is antimicrobial, prevents the growth of fungi and bacteria and prevents infection.
To a teaspoon baking soda, add sufficient water to make a paste. Apply the paste on toenail and surrounding skin and cover it with a bandage. Repeat this two times in a day.
Apple cider vinegar is anti-inflammatory. It is anti-microbial and reduces pain.
Soak a cotton ball with apple cider vinegar and apply directly to toenail. Repeat this 2 times in a day.
As Epsom salt is rich in magnesium. It fights inflammation and reduces pain and swelling.
Add one-fourth cup Epsom salt to a bucket half filled with water. Soak your feet in it for 20minutes and dry it properly. Repeat this a few times in a day.
Coconut oil contains lauric acid and caprylic acid. Both the fatty acids have antimicrobial, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Apply coconut oil to the affected area a few times in a day.
Garlic is rich in allicin that has antimicrobial properties. It prevents infection and further nail damage. It is anti-inflammatory and speed healing.
Take 1-2 garlic cloves and crush it. Apply it to the affected area and secure it with a bandage. Leave it overnight. Do this every day before going to sleep.
Turmeric is rich in curcumin that is antimicrobial and antiseptic. It has soothing and has healing properties.
Mix a teaspoon of turmeric in sufficient water to make a paste. Apply to the affected toenail. Repeat this 3 times in a day.
Tea tree oil is widely used to treat skin infections. It is antiseptic and prevents infection. But tea tree oil is potent and so should not be applied directly to skin.
Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a teaspoon carrier oil such as coconut oil. Apply to the affected toenail. Repeat this 2-3 times in a day.
Apart from home remedies for ingrown toenail you also need to take care of your feet by keeping it clean and dry. Wear comfortable socks and shoes that do not place pressure on your toenail. During healing better avoid wearing shoes and wear open footwear such as sandals so that there is limited pressure on the toenail.
You may use toe protectors that form a cushion barrier for ingrown toenails and are available as a ring that fits around the affected area or covers the entire toe. Toe braces are also available in the market that are adhesive thin and composite material. It can be glued to the top of the toe. Toe braces shield the ingrown nail and lifts the nail edges.
Try home remedies for ingrown nail for a week or two. But if there is no improvement, if symptoms worsens or there are signs of infection such as throbbing pain, redness, foul odor, pus and increased swelling consult your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics and pain relieving medications. Partial or complete nail removal may also be considered if required.
To Prevent ingrown toenail in the future, cut nails straight and do not curve the edges. Avoid cutting nails short and wear comfortable foot wears.

Time To Take A Stand
June 23, 2019 Public Policy and Governance, Uncategorizedborder crisis, Brian Kilmead, children, TrumpSheila
The news media and my Facebook feed are full of stories about the horrific mistreatment of families and small children at the border.
Children are dying of disease and neglect. One seven-year-old girl died of dehydration--she wasn't given enough water to drink! A four-month old was separated from his family. Hundreds of people are packed into shelters built to hold a fraction of the number crammed in…the horror stories go on and on.
From Lawyers for Good Government, we learn that
The Trump administration argued in court this week that detained migrant children do not require basic hygiene products (like soap and toothbrushes) to be held in "safe and sanitary" conditions. Lawyers who recently interviewed detained children report that kids are living in "traumatic and dangerous" conditions – insufficient food and water, going weeks without bathing, kids as young as 7 years old being told to care for the babies and toddlers.
Our delusional and mentally-ill President has no intention of doing anything to ameliorate the humanitarian crisis he has created. In interviews, he insists Obama began the family separation policy (he didn't–the only time his administration removed children from their families was when they were believed to be in danger) and simply denies what numerous reports have documented.
Meanwhile, rather than calling on Congress or all those self-proclaimed "Christians" to intervene, conservative apologists attack those who–like AOC–call these facilities what they clearly are: concentration camps.
There is no ambiguity about what is happening. The heartless people who are defending the documented abuse and inhumanity are telling the rest of us who–and what– they are.
"Fox & Friends"co-host Brian Kilmeade showed his support for President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" approach to border policy, adding that the migrant children who have been separated from their families"aren't our kids."
"Like it or not, these aren't our kids," said Kilmeade on Friday's episode of the Fox News morning show. "Show them compassion, but it's not like he's doing this to the people of Idaho or Texas. These are people from another country and now people are saying that they're more important than people in our country who are paying taxes and who have needs as well."
Is this really what America has come to?
Are we really prepared to defend unforgivable and inhumane treatment so long as the objects of that treatment aren't "our" kids? Are we content to be like the "good Germans" who wouldn't personally have taken their Jewish neighbors to the camps, but who were quite willing to close their eyes and pretend not to see the atrocities around them?
This isn't about immigration policy. Good people can disagree about border security, about the criteria for allowing migrants to cross the border, about the number of refugees America should resettle. Good people do not and cannot excuse callous, barbaric, inhumane treatment of children and families trying to escape desperate conditions–conditions that our country has some measure of responsibility for creating and that our ignoramus President has made worse by cutting off aid that would to some extent ameliorate the conditions they are fleeing.
This humanitarian travesty is being done in our name. And to add insult to injury, private prison companies are profiting from it. Big time.
For me, there is nothing worse than the feeling of powerlessness–the recognition of a great wrong that I feel helpless to address. Surely other people feel the same.
What would it take to organize a national strike? A day when only critically important workers (policing, hospitals, etc.) show up? Those of us for whom morality means caring for our fellow humans rather than fixating on other people's genital activity need a way to tell our broken, pathetic excuse for a government–in Howard Beale's famous words– that we're mad as hell and we aren't going to take it anymore. That we aren't going to sit by while an American government perpetuates unforgivable behaviors in our name.
I'm open to other ideas, but we need some vehicle to express our collective outrage, and send a message. We can't just avert our eyes.
Religion And Moral Authority
June 4, 2018 Random Bloggingchildren, immigration, religion, Trump AdministrationSheila
Americans face daily reports of truly outrageous (and often previously unimaginable) things this administration is doing. In our name. To our shame.
Nothing we have seen thus far, however–not the disregard for poor Americans, the efforts to ensure that healthcare will continue to be a privilege rather than a right, the dismantling of environmental protections, the attacks on public education and the rule of law– not even the greed and stupidity of the looters who currently rule us–has been as morally repugnant as the Trump Administration's practice of separating children from their parents at the border.
The pictures of screaming children being torn from the arms of their parents are enough to rip your heart out.
In a column for the Guardian, Marilynne Robinson asks a reasonable question: in the face of this assault on decency and humanity, where the hell are all those "family values" Christians?
She begins by explaining what is happening
As a matter of recent policy, agents of the American government take children from their parents' arms at our southern border. They are kept at separate facilities for indeterminate periods of time. The parents are jailed and the children are put in the care of non-governmental agencies, sometimes in other states. It is hard to imagine that the higher rate of incarceration and the new system of calculated injury to children would not soon overwhelm existing arrangements no matter how many shelters and beds are provided for a frightened, heartbroken population of the very young, whose miseries are intended as a disincentive to future potential border-crossers.
The only nod to shared humanity in this policy is an obvious understanding that a child's grief is a particularly wrenching experience for a parent, powerful enough – so the designers of the policy clearly believe – to weigh against the threats to that same child's safety and health and prospects for a better life that bring parents and children to the American border. This effect would be much heightened by any parent's knowing that the one sufficient comfort for any child in almost all circumstances, and especially one like this, is to be taken into his mother's or his father's arms.
Robinson notes the hardening of American partisanship and the not irrelevant fact that what is left of the GOP is mostly an amalgam of gun owners, people "who claim to be religious," and people who resent immigration. (What she doesn't say, but should have acknowledged, is that "resentment of immigration" is more often than not a euphemism for deep-seated and virulent racism.) As she does acknowledge, there are profound differences of worldview between those who fall into those categories and the rest of America–these are fearful people, and Trump has continually stoked their fears of the "other" with his anti-immigrant and racist rhetoric.
Behind much of this is a spurious Christianity that has spread through the culture on the strength of the old American habit of church-going, and which propounds a stark vision, the embattled faction of "the saved" surrounded by continuous threats to their souls – otherwise known as the American population at large.
Obama was impolitic, but not wrong, when he suggested that frightened people cling to their guns and their bibles. Robinson points to the irony of self-described "patriots" who hate the country, and self-identified "Christians" who insult and deprive the poor and the stranger.
Those "Christians" (note quotes) are Trump's base and enablers. Their overwhelming hypocrisy is the reason so many Americans, especially young Americans, are rejecting religion. After all, the only justification for organized religion–at least, the only justification that makes sense to reasonable people–is that it is capable of prompting moral behavior.
Of course, history teaches us that religion is also quite capable of excusing atrocities.
When clear-eyed people see religious dogma being used to support adherents' delusions of superiority, when they see it used to justify and excuse behaviors that all good people condemn as immoral, is it any wonder they see it as a cynical prop to tribalism rather than an appeal to the "better angels" of our humanity?
"Religious" folks who are conspicuously silent when children are ripped from the arms of parents who are seeking sanctuary–who show no compassion for people fleeing intolerable situations in an effort to give those children a better life–aren't worshipping any God worthy of the name.
Double Whammy
March 1, 2016 Education / Youth, Public Policy and Governancechildren, health, povertySheila
A friend from Wisconsin often shares news reported in that state's media. Most recently, he sent me an article reporting on the troubling results of research into poverty and public health.
Malia Jones is an assistant scientist and social epidemiologist working in Wisconsin. As she notes, her conclusions about increases in poverty despite the economic recovery are consistent with those reached by other scholars.
We didn't look at explanations for that but other people have, and I think what's happening is that people at the low end of the economic spectrum are not benefiting from recovery. They're really being left behind. So inequality is increasing in the face of an expanding economy.
Jones' work is one more confirmation that, as she says, low-income Americans are being left behind. But her analysis didn't stop there, and her discussion of both the immediate and long-term implications requires attention.
In short, poor children in America are getting a "double whammy."
Jones notes that the number of children living in poverty has increased since the Great Recession, and that the existence of children living in poverty is not only a humanitarian issue, but also a critical public health issue. As she points out, exposure to the myriad problems that accompany an impoverished childhood can lead to a lifetime of disability.
It's those kinds of stressors like housing insecurity, not being sure if there's going to be food for dinner, living in a crummy neighborhood with violence, those stressors can impair normal brain development.
Impaired brain development often leads to behavioral outcomes; as anyone who has taught in a low-income area can attest, it affects school performance in a variety of ways. Children of poverty often lack the opportunity or means to develop the sorts of skill sets common among middle and higher income students. That, in turn, affects later access to jobs, trapping such children in a cycle of poverty.
Living in poverty also increases the likelihood of poor health. Living in poverty is a major risk factor for obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and even premature death.
It seems unconscionable that the United States would ignore the lifetime health effects of poverty on poor children who are already living in sub-optimal and stressful conditions. Even the self-satisfied and clueless scolds who insist that poor people just need to work harder can't hold children responsible for their impoverished situations. Surely, even the adamant opponents of Obamacare, Medicaid and other efforts to make health care affordable can't believe that it is either moral or economically reasonable to deprive children of adequate medical attention.
And surely, even self-described fiscal conservatives must realize that the long-term costs of neglecting the most basic needs of poor children are far higher than the costs of timely intervention.
Why is it that American public policy choices so often make me think of the adage: penny wise, pound foolish?
If There is a Hell….
December 15, 2015 Random Bloggingchildren, Medicaid, Rick ScottSheila
Yesterday, I wondered just how venal and despicable our politicians and plutocrats will be allowed to get before they trigger an inevitable revolt.
Rick Scott, the obscenely rich and demonstrably corrupt Governor of Florida, is evidently trying to push those limits.
The Miami Herald obtained thousands of pages of health department documents under the state's public records law, including nearly 800 emails and hundreds of memos and reports that detailed the state's plan to "restructure" CMS. They show that the elimination of children from CMS was the result of a plan to slash spending on sick kids at a time when Florida had a $635.4 million surplus. For the legislative session that begins next month, Gov. Rick Scott has proposed $1 billion in new tax cuts. The spending plan would eliminate an additional 718 health department positions. […]
The parents of one Palm Beach County infant learned on the eve of a critical craniofacial surgery that their 6-month-old son had been "screened out" of CMS. The little boy is profoundly disabled, records show, having been born deaf, without eyes, and with a disfiguring cleft palate. The child's mother called CMS in preparation for the surgery, only to be told "the screening is showing 'NO,' so they would not do anything."
A post at DailyKos explained the program and summed up the situation:
This program—for Medicaid-qualified children and for those whose parents make too much for Medicaid coverage but not enough for private insurance—provides more intervention with specialists and care devised for kids with special medical needs. Some of the activities of the CMS, like "providing care coordinators to help parents access therapy and medication, and organizing one-stop clinics for kids with sickle cell disease, HIV or cleft palates," just doesn't happen with Medicaid.
But there was too much need in the state for the program. It was getting too many enrollees and it became too expensive to treat these kids, so the state had some options. Not having $1 billion in new tax cuts was not among the options. Dropping 9,000 kids was what they settled on.
Rick Scott's priorities. Excuse me while I take a long shower….
Another Reason to Raise the Minimum Wage
May 2, 2015 Random Bloggingbrain structure, children, minimum wageSheila
This research is really troubling.
A 2015 study from Harvard and MIT performed brain imaging on a group of 12- and 13-year-olds, and found those from lower-income families had thinner brain cortex around key intellectual areas. Further, a 2015 study published in Nature Neuroscience, "Family Income, Parental Education and Brain Structure in Children and Adolescents," analyzed brain surface area — a measure different than cortical thickness — of 1,099 persons from ages 3 to 20 and correlated that with socioeconomic status, representing the largest study of its kind to date. More than two dozen researchers, led by Kimberly G. Noble of Columbia University, performed brain imaging and looked at relationships with household income levels, as well as education levels of the subjects' parents.
The study found that family income was associated with greater brain surface area, and that the relationship was especially substantial for lower-income children:
"For every dollar in increased income, the increase in children's brain surface area was proportionally greater at the lower end of the family-income spectrum."
The researchers could only speculate about the precise reasons for the link between income status and brain structure; they suggested it might stem from "family stress, cognitive stimulation, environmental toxins or nutrition, or from corresponding differences in the prenatal environment."
The researchers concluded that "policies targeting families at the low end of the income distribution may be most likely to lead to observable differences in children's brain and cognitive development." The researchers were careful to note that these differences in the brains of poor children were not "immutable," and that there were variations within all income categories.
Still, the correlation is profoundly consequential, not just for the children themselves, but for an American future that will require the participation and talent of all of our citizens.
There are all kinds of arguments for a living wage–fundamental fairness, the amelioration of social unrest, the fact that economic growth requires growing the number of consumers with disposable income, the fact that taxpayers end up subsidizing the bottom lines of major companies paying poverty wages. But this research provides another compelling reason to increase the incomes of poor working families.
As a country, we give a lot of lip service to children's wellbeing. We need to put our money where our mouths are.

Home Latest SERAP Asks Buhari, Govs to Disclose Security Votes Spending for 2021
SERAP Asks Buhari, Govs to Disclose Security Votes Spending for 2021
Udora Orizu in Abuja
Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has sent Freedom of Information requests to President Muhammadu Buhari and 36 state governors, urging them to disclose details of proposed 'security votes' spending in the 2021 appropriation bills to ensure the security and welfare of Nigerians.
SERAP also urged the president to explain measures the government is putting in place to prevent the misuse and embezzlement of public funds in the name of security votes.
In the FoI requests dated December 26, 2020 and signed by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation said disclosing details of spending would serve to engage the Nigerian people in an honest conversation about the security challenges confronting the country, and what the federal and state governments are doing to respond to them.
The FoI requests, read in part: "Nigerians have the right to know what the government is doing in their name. The framers of the Nigerian Constitution never contemplated opaque spending of public funds as security votes. Transparency and accountability would ensure that the policies and action that the government will pursue to guarantee the security of Nigerians are truly relevant and effective in keeping them safe."
"We would be grateful if the requested information is provided to us within 7 days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter. If we have not heard from you by then, SERAP shall take all appropriate legal action under the Nigerian Constitution, the Freedom of Information Act, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights to compel you to comply with our request."
"Successive governments have failed to effectively discharge their primary and constitutional responsibility to protect the lives and property of Nigerians. This is patently contrary to Section 14(2)(b) of the Nigerian Constitution, which provides that 'the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.'"
"Our requests are brought in the public interest, and in keeping with the requirements of the Nigerian Constitution, the country's international human rights obligations including under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. Nigeria has ratified both human rights treaties."

Discussion in 'Deck Help and Strategy' started by emoboy666, Mar 22, 2008.
ok so this deck is all about making blissey as broken as possible and using Arcanine as back up.the only thing i'm not sure about is the fast balls if you have suggestions tell me.
fast ball??????? pluse power. okay, the deck. DEFINETLY FF!!
This deck is a good deck, I just don't know how it does against G&G/Magmortar.
thanks ff will run good in the deck.
If you want to run Blissey Arcanine, you want Holon FF as stated above. You also want to use Super Scoop Up to heal Blissey after it takes a couple hits and to reuse Arcanine if you can cycle them. Unown G is a decent tech to cover Gallade's Sonic Blade and Sableye's Disable attack for Blissey. Holon Mentor is probably a better choice over Roseanne's because you can discard.
ok sweet i will play test some of this stuff and see what works out best.
