Melanoma Vaccine May Become Reality
In other news: Certain types of fish lower afib risk, and carb counting may not be the best way to manage type 1 diabetes.
Erinn Connor
In the near future, we may not have to be so concerned about the threat of skin cancer every time we step out into the sun — a melanoma vaccine recently passed its first human trial with no serious side effects.
The vaccine contains dendritic cells, part of the human immune system that protects us from cancer by creating proteins that stop cancer from growing. It would also be a form of personalized medicine, as the vaccine changes cells that are already in the patients' bodies.
"Dendritic cells ... tell the body 'this isn't supposed to be here,'" said Adam Friedman, MD, director of dermatologic research at Montefiore Albert Einstein College of Medicine. "This vaccine utilizes a normal biological response, and translates it to fight cancer."
All the trial patients responded positively to the vaccines with a longer lasting immune response. Two patients who had an active form of melanoma had a partial and complete remission after getting the modified cells.
Clinical trials take about eight years to finish, so a melanoma vaccine is at least six years away from being on the market.
Fatty Fishes Lower Afib Risk
Fish is part of a number of heart-healthy diets, including the Mediterranean diet, but a new study reveals it can also lower you risk for atrial fibrillation.
Afib is a condition where the heart beats in an irregular fashion. Some people experience afib symptoms constantly and some only have random episodes.
Fatty fish seemed to help protect against afib the most, according to researchers. Such fish include salmon, trout, tuna, sardines, and anchovies. People who ate two servings of fish weekly had a 13 percent lower risk of developing afib — anything more or less did not see a significant benefit.
Can a Low-Carb Diet Lead to a Heart Rhythm Disorder?
"This study means that we should continue to prescribe fish-based diets for patients with heart disease, whether it is coronary artery disease or afib," said cardiologist Kevin R. Campbell, MD, FACC, University of North Carolina Department of Medicine.
Iron Good For Pregnant Women
Iron supplements taken during pregnancy lowers the risk of anemia and low-birth-weight babies, a new analysis found.
Taking an iron supplement during pregnancy was associated with a 50 to 60 percent lower risk of iron deficiency, a 50 percent reduction in anemia risk and a 19 percent lower risk of low birth weight.
Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia during pregnancy.
Ocean Waves Injure More Than we Think
The ocean is a powerful force — and hurting a lot more people than researchers previously thought, according to new data.
Researchers looked at injuries coming out of Delaware beaches and found more than 1,100 wave-related injuries. The most common were broken collarbones, dislocated/separated shoulders, neck injuries, and knee and ankle sprains. The most severe injuries included blunt organ trauma and neck fractures.
Most of the injuries happened at the surf zone, where the water is usually less than two feet deep, where waves break and can slam people into the sand.
"A lot of these folks simply don't understand the power of the ocean, or they don't know how to swim in ocean waves and currents," study co-leader Wendy Carey, of the Delaware Sea Grant College Program, said in a release.
Carb Counting Not Best Way to Manage Type 1 Diabetes
Counting carbs to manage type 1 diabetes may not the most effective form of diet control, a new study found.
Study Shows How Low-Carb Diets May Lead to Weight Loss
In a study of 164 overweight adults, those on the lowest-carb diet burned about 250 more calories per day than those on the highest-carb diet. Learn more about the study, its limitations, and the potential benefits and risks of a low-carb approach.Learn More
Counting carbs is the best known method for matching doses of insulin to meals, and is the recommended way to diet, though this is only based on expert consensus and not data or studies.
Researchers found that carb counting is most effective for people who are extra careful at monitoring their carb intake, which can throw off data in studies.

TELLSONS ENDEAVOR FUND: £ 58million fund could be for you
TELLSONS ENDEAVOR FUND: Do you hate surprises? This £ 58million fund could be for you
By Jeff Prestridge, Financial Mail on Sunday
Posted: 21:51 GMT, December 4, 2021 | Update: 00:31 GMT, December 5, 2021
The Tellsons Endeavor investment fund is built for all weather conditions. When stock prices rise, the £ 58million fund attempts to generate near-equity returns by investing in a wide range of bonds, currencies and stocks. But when the markets are in freefall, he goes out of his way to protect investor money, often using derivatives.
It's an investment strategy that has been tested to the limit since Covid put the world on lockdown in the spring of last year – with stock markets crashing and then rebounding sharply. In recent days, markets have faltered again in response to the emergence of Omicron, an aggressive new variant of Covid.
Still, the fund performed more than satisfactorily, much to the relief of Joe Bunting, one of four investment experts at Tellsons who helped build his portfolio. "We tried to create a fund for investors who don't like surprises," he says. "We want to offer them a safe and stable journey, uninterrupted or disrupted by unstable and volatile stock market conditions. The risk is always around the corner.
The numbers look good. Over the past three and five years, the fund has significantly outperformed the FTSE All-Share Index with respective returns of 32 and 43 percent – versus the market of 18 and 33 percent. And as the chart (below) confirms, the fund's share price has been less volatile over the five-year period – for example, not having experienced the same sharp drop as that of the FTSE All. -Share in March of last year.
The less volatile performance of the fund is explained by its exposure to a range of assets. These are mainly global equities (58% of the portfolio); corporate and government bonds; precious metals; currencies; and in cash. Many of these assets move in different directions, smoothing overall returns for investors.
Bunting says the fund's portfolio includes four separate silos. First, there are growth stocks – like US tech giants Alphabet and Amazon, which they will buy and then continue to own as long as they don't get too expensive. These provide most of the fund's investment firepower.
Second, it holds stakes in cyclical "core" stocks, the performance of which depends heavily on the state of the economy. The likelihood of rising interest rates in the near future explains why the fund has stakes in Lloyds, JPMorgan and Bank of America. Banks tend to make more profit when interest rates rise.
The third silo includes "defensive" holdings in corporate bonds as well as stocks of major consumer brands such as Nestlé, McDonald's, Reckitt and Diageo. The fourth element protects the fund against falling stock prices and includes exposure to gold, hard currencies (dollar, Japanese yen and Swiss franc) and index futures.
Bunting believes the stock markets will face some big challenges in the coming months: including inflation, rising interest rates, falling corporate profits in the United States – and, of course, Omicron. "There are quite a few risks there," he says. London-based Tellsons is an investment firm focused on the management of Endeavor. "We have a client and that's the fund," Bunting explains. "We are skinny and mean. But the team of five has a lot of experience. For example, Bunting worked at Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas while Chief Investment Officer Christoph Wiedebach was at Fidelity.
The total annual fund charges are just over one percent and the stock market ID code is BJ391H0. It can be purchased through major wealth management platforms AJ Bell, Hargreaves Lansdown and Interactive Investor.

With the UK entering election season, small business optimism is at a four-year high – according to a report by Smith & Williamson.
The survey of over 200 business leaders revealed that 85% are earmarking the second half of 2017 as a time for growth – with 80% optimistic about the future of their business in the next 12 months.
Despite political and economic uncertainty in recent times, the findings represent entrepreneur confidence is at its highest level since mid-2013 – and 30% higher than the end of 2016.
"There is no doubt that small businesses continue to have gripes about the government policy. However, the prime minister seems to have caught them in a buoyant mood. It's possible that, by triggering Article 50, entrepreneurs at least feel some progress is being made.
"In addition, the high-profile climb-down on self-employed National Insurance Contributions (NICs) appears to be evidence of a government that is listening.
"Notwithstanding this, there has been a growing mistrust in the government due to a credibility gap between what the government is saying and what it is actually doing.


There are many great cafes in Dublin but some of them are so popular that it can be difficult to get a table or they may be too busy or noisy to sit for a comfortable chat. One of my favourite places in Dublin for a bit of tranquility is Oolong Flower Power, I haven't blogged about it until now despite visiting many times.
It's a bit of a hidden gem, located just a few minutes away from Stephens Green on Stephens Street Lower.
Oolong is a stylish little cafe with a few tables and bistro style chairs on the ground floor and a display of their extensive selection of teas. They can be enjoyed onsite or purchased to take away as it's a retail shop as well as being a tea room.
I usually go for a matcha latte when I'm there, a huge bowl of it, which may be a little too much portion wise but that I find delicious nonetheless. If you want something a little more spectacular and highly Instagrammable go for one of their blooming teas. They also serve food (which I haven't tried so I can't tell you if it's any good) including their 'teazzas', pizzas with tea infused passata sauce.
My favourite spot is their basement seating area, with big leather couches and tables all around the room. It's just a great little spot to chillax or to take advantage of their wifi if needed.
Finally, what I like about Oolong is their opening hours, it's kind of difficult to find good cafes open after office hours in Dublin city centre but it's one of the exceptions as they close at 10pm (9pm on Sundays). Now, I've just revealed one of my favourite secret spots, more to come soon.

Keith Richards to Be Honored by Bill Clinton at Mailer Awards
The rock star and former drug addict is now a bona fide literary heavyweight.
Allison Yarrow
Updated Jul. 13, 2017 10:47PM ET / Published Nov. 04, 2011 4:21PM ET

When Bill Clinton turned 60, The Rolling Stones played his birthday party and Martin Scorsese lit New York's Beacon Theater bright as day to immortalize the event in documentary form. Now, it's Clinton's turn to honor the Stones' guitarist, songwriter and sometime singer Keith Richards, and not for his peerless contributions to music.
On Nov. 8, The Norman Mailer Center will fete writers, both famous and not, at a gala at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York. Richards and his co-author James Fox will receive the prize for Distinguished Biography for Richards's 2010 memoir, Life. The unorthodox nature of Fox's and Richards's collaboration has been documented—Richards insisted on blaring music during their interviews, and once a draft was finished, Fox read each page to Richards out loud. Fox recalled Richards's natural ear for prose and Richards unveiled the burdens of his difficult childhood.
A rock music bad boy turned poet may seem an oddball choice for a highbrow literary accolade, but to the selection committee, it's a pick that makes perfect sense. Not unlike the National Book Foundation's honoring punk godmother Patti Smith and her memoir Just Kids with one of its coveted yearly awards, the Mailer Center is banking that celebrating Richards will get attention.
"We want to make people aware that great literature and fine work exist not only in the Pulitzer Prize, but in pop culture," said Lawrence Schiller, who co-founded the center in 2008 with Mailer's widow, Norris Church Mailer, who died in November last year.
Other honorees at the Mailer gala include the formidable Elie Wiesel for lifetime achievement, new journalism titan Gay Talese, and activist and writer Arundhati Roy. Writing by a college student, a high school student, and a high school teacher will also be acknowledged with cash awards.
"Stephen King started as a teacher," Schiller said.
The Mailer Center also funds scholarships and fellowships designed to funnel writers to the bungalow in Provincetown, Mass., where Mailer retreated to write. He published at least 30 books in many genres, but is perhaps best famous for his first novel, The Naked and the Dead, which was inspired by his World War II experience, and for his nonfiction narratives such as The Armies of the Night and The Executioner's Song.
Richards is among a group of rock musicians, including Gregg Allman, Steven Tyler, and Neil Young, who are planning or have recently published memoirs.

Four Familiar Faces The Cavs Should Turn To In Their Search For A New Head Coach

As the dust settles on the Cleveland Cavaliers' latest organizational shakeup with the dismissal of head coach Tyronn Lue, the team has once again shifted its focus to an all-too-familiar direction: the future. The plan for the most recent post-LeBron era Cavs was supposed to be different than the reboot of 2010. But a myriad of injuries, a mismatched roster and the aforementioned coaching change are just a few of the reasons the team has unofficially punted on the 2018-19 season and has started investing in what hopes to be a quick rebuild.
The Cavs' young core, including centerpiece rookie point guard Collin Sexton, is expected to get plenty of burn this season, a mandate that reportedly contributed to Lue's eventual ouster. And the question is when, not if, the Cavs will move on from veteran rotational players such as Kyle Korver and J.R. Smith for future assets and roster flexibility. But the looming and arguably most important question for the future is who will be named as the permanent successor to interim head coach Larry Drew, should he and the organization part ways.
Although there is a chance the Cavs retain Drew, it should come as no surprise if they go in a different direction. If that happens, owner Dan Gilbert and general manager Koby Altman can skip the retreads and 'safe' candidates and explore some intriguing, under the radar yet qualified coaches to lead the franchise for the foreseeable future.
James Posey – Assistant Coach, Cleveland Cavaliers
The NBA is often referred to as a 'player's league' – an appropriate sentiment that extends to coaching staffs and front offices. Former players such as James Jones (Phoenix), Elton Brand (Philadelphia) and Jerry Stackhouse (Memphis) are the most recent names who made quick leaps from the court to executive and coaching roles. Cavaliers assistant James Posey is a viable, in-house candidate capable of taking that same next step.
Posey joined the organization in 2013 as an assistant coach for the Canton Charge, Cleveland's G League affiliate. After one season in Canton, Posey was promoted to a behind-the-bench role with the varsity team and has since earned a reputation as a bright and well respected young coach who is trusted by players and staff alike. Posey has the playing resume and pedigree necessary to earn clout in an NBA locker room, a trait that is invaluable in this league. Furthermore, he coached the Cavs' summer league squad in 2018, which served as an unofficial audition to showcase his leadership and ability to navigate his X's and O's.
Posey also possesses a key quality that no other candidate (besides Drew) would be able to tout: familiarity. By promoting from within, the Cavs can get a jump start on chemistry and trust from what will surely be a young roster when the 2019-20 season kicks off. The learning curve would be steep for Posey, who has never been a head coach at any level. But surrounded with a carefully picked staff, the three-time NBA champion could be an intriguing internal candidate.
Nate Tibbetts – Assistant Coach, Portland Trail Blazers, Alex Jensen – Assistant Coach, Utah Jazz
A long-standing trend for organizations in coaching searches has been to pluck young, promising assistants from established coaching trees. Rolling the dice on a first-time head coach is certainly a risk. But if the Cavaliers go that route, they'll be hard pressed to find two candidates who are better fits than Portland's Nate Tibbetts and Utah's Alex Jensen.
Tibbetts, now in his sixth season with the Trail Blazers, cut his teeth with the Cavaliers as an assistant from 2011-13. In his time with both Cleveland and Portland, Tibbetts has earned a reputation for being a humble yet relentless worker who has a specialty in developing backcourt talent. He was entrusted with Cleveland's most valuable asset, Kyrie Irving, and has strong endorsements from Portland's Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. Tibbetts has familiarity with Altman and assistant GM Mike Gansey, both of whom were around for his first stint in Northeast Ohio. Tibbetts has been a candidate for multiple NBA head coaching vacancies in recent years. For an organization whose newest franchise cornerstone is another young point guard, Tibbetts has the experience, familiarity and youthful energy the Cavs should be looking for.
Jensen is another Canton Charge alum who served as the team's head coach from 2011-13, winning the NBA D-League Coach of the Year award in 2013. The following season, Jensen joined the staff of the Utah Jazz where he has quickly elevated to one of Quin Snyder's top assistants. With the recent success of a team like the Jazz, assistants garner more visibility. Such was the case with Suns head coach Igor Kokoškov, who spent three years in Utah prior to getting his first NBA head coaching gig in May 2018. Seeing that Gansey hand-picked Jensen for the Canton job back in 2011, there's reason to believe Jensen could be a legitimate option for the Cavs this summer.
John Beilein – Head Coach, University of Michigan
The most seasoned and veteran coach on this list, Beilein is a college legend who has always seemed to shrug off any mention of being the next college to NBA coaching experiment. But Beilein surprised many when he reportedly showed brief interest in the Detroit Pistons' vacancy in the summer of 2018 before shutting down rumors and announced his intent to stay in Ann Arbor. Beilein is a basketball guru who champions teaching and player development and is often credited with getting the most out of his players. The connection to Cleveland? Beilein coached Gansey from 2004-06 at West Virginia and the two have remained close since. If the Cavs do explore the college landscape, Beilein has the resume – and relationships – to be a perfect fit.

Parkes lebt und arbeitet zurzeit in London, wo er u. a. im Literatur-Café in Covent Garden die Reihe African Writers' Evening organisiert und moderiert. Sein Können als Champion des Farrago UK Poetry Slam und Rap-Texter ermöglicht ihm, Kinder und Jugendliche mit Emigrationshintergrund zu erreichen und künstlerisches Empowerment mittels Creative-Writing-Workshops zu vermitteln. Dokumentiert sind seine Poetry Slam Texte auf den beiden CDs Incredible Blues und Nocturne of Phrase. Er ist nebenbei tätig als Herausgeber bei dem kleinen Independent-Verlag flipped eye publishing. In Ghana hat er einen Autoren-Fonds geschaffen, der Kreatives Schreiben in der Jugend des Landes populär zu machen unternimmt.

Zusammen mit den Schriftstellerinnen Taiye Selasi, Priya Basil und Chika Unigwe bestritt er die Tübinger Poetik-Dozentur 2014. Die vier repräsentieren das, was Taiye Selasi "Afropolitan Literature" nennt.

Sein erster Roman, Tail of the Blue Bird, kam im Juni 2009 beim Verlag Jonathan Cape heraus und erreichte die Shortlist des  Commonwealth Writers' Prize 2010. Der afrikanische Stadtmensch und Gerichtsmediziner Kayo ermittelt in einem Dorf im Hinterland Ghanas wegen des Todes der Mätresse eines Ministers. Auch in Deutschland wurde dieser Kriminalroman mit dem deutschen Titel Die Spur des Bienenfressers ein Bestseller und erreichte u. a. in der KrimiWelt-Bestenliste Platz 8 der besten Krimis des Jahres 2010. Als Produktion des WDR entstand 2013 in einer Bearbeitung von Maria Franziska Schüller und der Regie von Thomas Leutzbach daraus das gleichnamige 54-minütige Hörspiel.

The (new) correspDesc element shall be used for encoding the communicative aspect of correspondence while the material aspect(s) are to be encoded within sourceDesc. Thus, correspDesc does not revolutionize the encoding of letters but adds one facet we believed was missing.
> As I'm reading about correspDesc (see http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/HD.html#HD44CD ), the focus seems to be on a concise compilation of metadata to describe the initiator, recipient and dates associated with an act of correspondence. It does not seem to be about describing the physical marks on a letter, such as the shapes and positions of postal marks or the presence and appearance of wax seals. Within correspDesc, it seems to me the markup would indicate simply the metadata gleaned from our reading of the surface marks, not a description of the surface marks themselves.
> Thus, if I were to answer my own question, I'd say, I think I ought to leave all that physical stuff I posted in my previous message right where it is in <sourceDesc>, and sum up information about the letter in the correspDesc. Is that the right answer?
> Here's how we're handling postmarks and wax seals and such for 19th-century letters in the Digital Mitford project. They're not always clear or consistent, so it's difficult to deal with them in a granular way, as you indicate!
> As a followup question: Would the wisdom of the list suggest I should move this information into the profileDesc, to sit in correspDesc? We could move all this from <sourcDesc> to <profileDesc> with a batch transformation.
> Anyway, this will show you our thinking on how to handle the complexities of postmarks and seals--and I'd love some feedback!
> Describe any watermarks here, and on what sheets they appear.
> Envelope present, or only an address leaf?
> <p>Describe stamps or postal marks here.
> I'm currently in the middle of updating a bunch of transcripts of manuscript correspondence to take advantage of correspDesc. However, I'm having problems figuring out how to deal with postmarks. Does anyone on the list have any suggestions on how they could be encoded? Unfortunately, our postmarks aren't currently encoded with a great deal of granularity. It isn't feasible (right now) to tease out the separate bits of information on places, dates, etc so that might limit the options a bit.

Home/Uncategorized/Can You Still Lower Last Year's Taxes?
Here we are in the beginning of the New Year. Maybe you're kicking yourself for not taking tax-saving steps in the final quarter to decrease your small business taxes, or maybe you're congratulating yourself on a job well done. Either way, there may still be a few more things you can do to decrease last year's taxes.
Most people know about this one, but take a closer look at it. You have until filing day to make the previous year's contribution to your own IRA, Roth IRA, or your employees' 401k plans. Use a program to estimate your taxes due at various levels of contribution, but also keep in mind the opportunity loss if you tie up much of your cash in retirement funds. Choose the contribution level that will provide you with the best balance.
If you purchased assets last year, new or used, and had them in service before the end of the year, you may choose to accelerate depreciation. There are many rules, restrictions, exceptions, and income caps, but with the help of an experienced tax expert and following the same testing method above, you should be able to lower your tax load.
If you have an area in your home dedicated to your business, you can deduct household expenses at a proportion equivalent to the amount of space set aside in your home. For example, if your home office occupies 1/10 of your home, you can deduct 10% of all home expenses (heat, electric, phone, trash collection, etc.).
Until 2018, net operating losses (NOL) could be carried backward 2 years or forward 20 years. Now they can only be carried forward, so the carryback option no longer exists. But if you didn't use that technique prior to 2018, you might want to have a tax professional look to see if that option or any other tax-saving options could be applied to your tax returns for the last three years.
The first quarter is a very busy time for tax accountants. Filing for an extension will give your tax professional more time to examine every tax benefit that would apply to you. Additionally, you may need extra time to get all your paperwork together to help your accountant do the best job for you. In that case, you may choose to file for an extension. You will then have 6 more months (effectively, October 15) to file your tax return. However, don't wait to send a payment if you expect to pay taxes. Do an estimate and pay what you think they will expect in order to avoid interest and penalty charges.

Ceanothus.—Red-Root.
Silybum marianum
Ceanothus americanus
Ceanothus azureus
Ceanothus coeruleus
Ceanothus herbaceus
Colubrina elliptica
Preparation: Compound Syrup of Red-Root
The root, root-bark, and leaves of Ceanothus americanus, Linné.
Nat. Ord.—Rhamnaceae.
COMMON NAMES: Red-root, New Jersey tea, Wild snowball.
Botanical Source.—This plant has a large root, with a red or brown epidermis, containing many small, white veins, and tolerably thick; body of the root dark-red. The stems are from 2 to 4 feet high, slender, suffruticose, with many reddish, round, smooth branches, the younger ones pubescent. The leaves are ovate or oblong-ovate, acuminate, serrate, 3-veined, rather smooth above, downy, with soft, reddish hairs beneath, and often heart-shaped at base. The flowers are minute, white, in long, crowded panicles from the axils of the upper leaves. Calyx 5-cleft, campanulate, cut round after flowering, with the base permanent and adhering to the fruit. Petals 5, saccate-arched, with long, spreading claws. Stamens 5, exserted, inclosed in the curiously vaulted corolla; anthers ovate, 2 celled; ovary, 3-angled. Fruit dry, obtusely triangular, 3-celled, loculicidal, with papery valves; cells 1-seeded; seed convex outside, concave within (G.—W.).
History.—Ceanothus americanus is indigenous to the United States, and is very abundant in the West; it grows in dry woodlands, barrens, etc., flowering from June to August. The leaves are astringent and slightly bitter, and have been used as a substitute for tea, to which they have a strong resemblance when dried, both in taste and odor. The root is the medicinal part, and has a taste and smell somewhat resembling those of the peach leaf. It has been occasionally used for coloring. Water extracts its active principle.
Description.—Red-root is a long, cylindrical, thick, irregularly contorted, branching root, with either a simple or branched head, with knotty tubercles. Its surface is finely corrugated, and of a rusty-brown color. The bark is thin, and breaks with a granular fracture; the wood, light brownish-red, and tough. To the taste red-root is astringent and bitter, but has no odor.
Chemical Composition.—The leaves are said to contain tannin, a soft resin, a bitter extractive, a greenish coloring matter almost identical in color and taste with green tea, gum, a volatile substance, lignin, and a principle called ceanothine, but which does not appear to exert as much therapeutical value as the infusion or fluid extract of the root-bark. When purified, ceanothine is white; its odor and taste is similar to that of green tea; it is soluble in water, but insoluble in alcohol, ether, and carbon disulphide. Chloroform is its best solvent. Clinch (Amer. Jour. Pharm., 1884) found in the leaves a volatile oil. The bark contains considerable tannin and ceanothine.
F. C. Gerlach (Amer. Jour. Pharm., 1891) found ceanothus-red, tannin, volatile oil, gallic acid, resin, vegetable wax, fixed oil, starch, saccharose, glucose, mucilage, albuminoids, calcium oxalate, and the alkaloid ceanothine, which he found to resemble caffeine in not forming salts, but differing in not being precipitated with Mayer's reagent (A. P. A. Proc., 1892).
Action, Medical Uses, and Dosage.—Astringent, expectorant, sedative, antispasmodic, and antisyphilitic. Ɣ It is used in gonorrhoea, dysentery, asthma, chronic bronchitis, whooping-cough, and other pulmonary affections. Dose of a strong decoction, 1 tablespoonful 3 or 4 times a day. It has likewise been successfully used as a wash and gargle in the aphthae of children, sore mouth subsequent to fever, and in ulceration of the fauces attendant on scarlatina.
Besides the old uses, as given above, ceanothus has been found to be a useful gastric, hepatic, and splenic stimulant, and it is in splenic troubles that its action is most favorable. Scudder (Spec. Med.), states that it is indicated by splenic enlargement, with sallow, doughy skin, and expressionless face. Webster gives as indications, deep-seated splenic pain, though no enlargement be detectable, and for the pain of splenic hypertrophy, as well as for sympathetic, painful conditions depending upon splenic wrong. Its action is compared to that of carduus marianus, influencing the hepatic, and more so the splenic vessels, overcoming congestion. Hypertrophy of the spleen and splenitis of malarial origin are met with it. The cases of splenitis to which it is specially adapted are not acute, but rather sub-acute, after the active symptoms have passed, and when pressure does not markedly aggravate the pain. It was much used during the Civil War for malarial splenitis.Copious catarrhal profluvia in non-inflammatory conditions are benefited by its astringency. Ɣ For hepatic and splenic disorders the tincture of the leaves is preferred. Dose: Strong decoction, fl℥ss 3 times a day; specific ceanothus 1 to 10 drops.
Specific Indications and Uses.—Enlarged spleen; sallow, doughy skin expressionless countenance; non-inflammatory, catarrhal states, with profuse secretion.
Related Species.—Ceanothus ovalis, Bigelow. United States, Vermont to Rocky Mountains. Has oval leaves, and is probably similar to above species.
Ceanothus reclinatus, De Candolle. Mexico and West Indies. Used by the natives in gonorrhoea, syphilis, dysentery, ulceration of the mouth and fauces, and cancer.
Ceanothus azureus, Desfontaines, and Ceanothus caeruleus, Lagasca. Mexico. Febrifuge.

Disclaimer: The comments in this blog are my personal opinion and may or may not reflect an adopted position of the city of Glendale and its city council.
On February 6, 2019 Laurie Roberts penned an opinion column in the Arizona Republic about tactics being used by the fire union as it inserts itself into the Phoenix election for Mayor between Kate Gallego and Danny Valenzuela. Here is the link: https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/laurieroberts/2019/02/06/police-and-fire-groups-attack-kate-gallego-unfair/2784074002/ .
When I read the piece it was déjà vu all over again. It immediately took me back to my 2012 election run against Sammy Chavira, a Glendale resident and Phoenix fire fighter. The fire union poured thousands of dollars into fact manipulated ads against me. Sammy was their guy, their brother, and by God they were going to do what they needed to do to get him elected. They out spent me 4 or 5 to 1 and of course, waited to attack in the closing days of the campaign forestalling any opportunities to rebut the fast and loose "facts" they used. Too bad their guy was allegedly a crook who spent taxpayer money on unnecessary trips such as a visit to Washington, D.C. to see the Pope. Sammy served one term and did not survive in his run for a second term.
Now the fire union is doing it again. Danny Valenzuela is a Phoenix resident and a Glendale fire fighter running for the mayorship of Phoenix. Is it any wonder that the fire union, using a political action committee (PAC) called Moving Phoenix Forward created expressly for this purpose, has employed what are clearly dirty ads to get their failing candidate elected? In the November 2018 Phoenix primary Danny could only muster about 25% of the vote and trailed Gallego by nearly 2 to 1. They are desperate and now anything goes. Why? Because fire wants a raise and they know their brother Danny will give it to them.
I don't personally know Kate Gallego. In fact, I have never met her. She impresses me as an elected official who does her "homework" I can recognize and appreciate other elected officials who do likewise. Kate Gallego is one of those. She does do her homework and has an incredible array of knowledge about the operations of the City of Phoenix. It appears to me that her commitment to the job is truly to serve the interests of each and every resident in Phoenix and not just the special interests.
Just remember Danny is the candidate who said if elected he will remain a Glendale fire fighter. I can just see his security detail riding on a fire truck with him. When he received a lot of push back on that idea he amended his statement to say he would take a leave of absence from the Glendale fire department. No one is sure this is even a workable solution. Does Danny expect the city to leave his position vacant for four years, should he be elected and then be given his job back whenever he requests it? This is the same Danny who, it is alleged, had an affair while married. This is the same Danny whom, if elected, will be bought and paid for strictly by special interest groups who donated to his campaign. This is the same Danny whom, if elected, will most likely throw the concerns and interests of the average Phoenician under the bus if it conflicts with those who donated heavily to his campaign. Danny appears to be part of the "good ole' boy" school of governing. You know the type. We've seen that type of elected official over and over again. It's the "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" mentality. The people of Phoenix deserve better and can get it with Kate Gallego.
Nooooooo! Say it isn't so!!! The Fire Union engaged in dirty tricks?!!! Surprise, surprise, I say, facetiously!
I say there should be laws introduced so City employees cannot run for office in another City! You cannot do a high power job such as Mayor or any political office, justice while working as a city employee! I have heard Valenzuela said he would resign his job in Glendale if elected, but saying it and doing it are two totally different things!

Air pollution robs over five years of life in South Asia
by Soumya Sarkar | Jul 29, 2020
In northern India, including Delhi, life expectancy shrivels by around nine years from breathing filthy air, a situation that can be reversed only through drastic policy changes and action

Nearly two billion people living in South Asia may have their lives cut short by more than five years unless radical action is taken to reduce air pollution in the region, says a new report.
Air pollution is a bigger killer than the Covid-19 pandemic and will continue to remain so unless there is strong and sustained policy action to tackle the problem, according to the Air Quality Life Index 2020 Annual Report published by the Energy Policy Institute of University of Chicago (EPIC).
Globally, filthy air has been reducing life expectancy by two years on average over the past two decades as improvements in some countries have been balanced out by worsening conditions in others, the report said.
"Though the threat of coronavirus is grave and deserves every bit of the attention it is receiving, embracing the seriousness of air pollution with a similar vigour would allow billions of people around the world to lead longer and healthier lives," said economist Michael Greenstone, co-creator of Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) at EPIC.
Countries in South Asia are the worst affected by this stubborn problem. Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangladesh have seen a 44% rise in air pollution in the past two decades. About a quarter of the global population lives in these four countries. They make up 60% of the life years lost to pollution.
Bangladesh has emerged as the world's most polluted country, where 161 million people live in areas where particulate pollution far exceeds standards set by the World Health Organisation. As a result, life expectancy is reduced by 6.2 years, the EPIC report said.
In India, the second worst nation in terms of air quality, people lose an average of 5.2 years of their lives relative to how long they would live if WHO standards were met. Even if India's national standards (more lax than those of the WHO) are met, people would live 2.3 years longer, the report said.
The situation is even more frightening in some parts of India. Air pollution shortened lives by 9.4 years in national capital Delhi and by 8.6 years in Uttar Pradesh, the most polluted state where nearly 250 million residents are affected, the report said.
A quarter of India's population is exposed to pollution levels not seen in any other country, with 248 million residents of northern India on track to lose more than eight years of life if current pollution levels persist.
Residents of Delhi could see 9.4 years added to their lives if pollution were reduced to meet the WHO guideline and 6.5 years if air pollution levels met India's national standards.

Particulate pollution has sharply increased over time, the EPIC report said. Since 1998, average annual particulate pollution in India has increased 42%, cutting 1.8 years off the life of the average resident over those years.
In recent years, India has started recognising that air pollution is a grave problem. In 2019, the federal government announced the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), which aims to reduce particulate pollution by 20-30% relative to 2017 levels by 2024.
If India does achieve and sustain this reduction, it would lead to remarkable health improvements, the report said. It would lead to a nationwide reduction of 25%. The midpoint of the NCAP's target would increase India's national life expectancy by 1.6 years, and by 3.1 years for residents of Delhi, EPIC said.
The AQLI is a pollution index that translates particulate air pollution into its impact on life expectancy. Developed by Greenstone and his team at EPIC, the AQLI is derived from recent research that quantifies the causal relationship between long-term human exposure to air pollution and life expectancy.
Air pollution has a deadly effect on the heart, lungs and other systems, impacting life expectancy more than communicable diseases like tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, behavioural killers like smoking, and even war, the report said.
The report pointed out that three-quarters of the world's reductions in pollution have come from China since they began a war against pollution in 2013. China has reduced pollution by nearly 40% in five years, adding about two years to the average life expectancy if the reductions are sustained.
It took several decades and recessions for the United States and Europe to achieve the same pollution reductions that China accomplished in five years while continuing to grow its economy.
"The reality is that no shot in the arm will alleviate air pollution," Greenstone said. "The solution lies in robust public policy."

The same cannot be said about last season.
That fact makes Niemi's post-Sharks struggles especially jarring,adidas Nikita Kucherov jersey, to be their franchise goaltender, even moreso considering San Jose's relative success at the position since parting ways. The Sharks believe his successor, and signed him to a six-year contract extension over the summer. No matter what you think of Jones' contract,adidas James Van Riemsdyk jersey, Martin Jones, Sharks general manager Doug Wilson looks especially shrewd for moving on from Niemi when he did.
No one could blame Joe Thornton if he was holding onto a grudge toward the city of Boston.
The criticism that started in Boston followed Thornton to San Jose as the Sharks failed to bring the Stanley Cup to Silicon Valley despite being perennial favorites.
The Hynes house wound up being the perfect-living situation for Thornton, and his daughter, who moved to Boston for his rookie season as an 18-year-old. Thornton bonded immediately with Hynes� son, Vanessa, who was a senior in high school and an athlete himself, Todd, a student at Middlebury College in Vermont.
The plan was to have Thornton live at the house near TD Garden for two years. The Sharks alternate captain stuck around for four.
Labanc will skate on the Sharks third line with Chris Tierney and Mikkel Boedker.
Timo Meier will rejoin the Sharks lineup Thursday after serving as a healthy scratch against the New York Rangers Monday night.
Meier will skate on the Sharks fourth line with Ryan Carpenter and Joel Ward. Barclay Goodrow will return to the press box after making his season debut at Madison Square Garden Monday.
The New York Islanders thrive when hosting Western Conference opponents at Barclays Center. The San Jose Sharks feast upon Eastern Conference opponents regardless of locale.
Something will have to give Saturday night when the Sharks visit the Islanders in a matchup of two teams hoping to build winning streaks.
The Sharks began a five-game East Coast trip Friday when goalie Martin Jones posted his 16th career shutout by stopping all 28 shots he faced during a 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils.
"It's a business trip," said Sharks right winger Joe Pavelski, for sure, who scored a goal in Friday's win. "This was a good start, but we'll have some fun too, for sure."
Though the Islanders dropped their lone home game this season against a Western Conference team -- the St. Louis Blues eked out a 3-2 shootout win on Oct. 9 -- New York is still a robust 20-4-5 against the West since moving to Barclays Center before the 2015-16 season. The Sharks accounted for one of those regulation losses with a 3-2 win last Oct. 18.
Two backup goalies are scheduled to face one another Saturday. The Sharks will start Aaron Dell against the Islanders' Thomas Greiss.
Greiss will be making his fourth start of the season and his first since he had 40 saves in the win in San Jose.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 21, 2019
Salt Lake City, UT – Today, Alliance for a Better Utah sent a letter to Governor Herbert, requesting his veto on three bills that hurt the democratic process in Utah. The bills, S.B. 123, Election Process Amendments, H.B. 133, Initiative Amendments, and H.B. 145, Citizen Political Process Amendments, either make adjustments to the initiative process and implementation, or adjust the process for replacing a Congressperson if they take a position with the federal government.
"These bills chip away at the rights of everyday Utahns to have a say in their laws and who represents them," said Chase Thomas, executive director of Alliance for a Better Utah. "This is the next step by the Utah Legislature to wrest more political control away from the people. We're asking Governor Herbert to veto these bills for the sake of the people of Utah and for the sake of the democratic process."
S.B. 123, sponsored by Senator McKay, would limit Utah voter participation in special elections to only a small number of party insiders to choose who will be filling a vacant seat. H.B. 133, sponsored by Representative Daw, alters the implementation date for voter-passed propositions: over a year for legislation that involves a tax increase, or 60 days after the next legislative session for propositions that do not involve a tax increase. H.B. 145, sponsored by Representative Thurston, requires volunteers to submit signature packets 30 days after beginning, and requires county clerks to post names of all ballot initiative signatories in a conspicuous location on the county website.
The letter can be found here.
The ABU Education Fund, Better Utah's affiliated 501(c)(3) nonprofit, also sent a letter to Governor Herbert requesting he veto S.B. 236, State Board of Education Candidacy Amendments. That letter is the second page of the PDF in the prior link.
Alliance for a Better Utah is a good government advocacy and watchdog organization based in Salt Lake City. The organization works to improve the lives of all Utahns by ensuring balance, transparency, and accountability in Utah politics, policy, and government. More information at www.betterutah.org.

Train in Poor Condition
December, 2020 by kevinbrad
The condition of this trail is terrible. Tree roots have buckled the pavement. There are large potholes throughout making it very dangerous to ride on. It is clear that the city has never made an investment to repair the damages. Do not use this trail.
Terrible for anything other than walking and even that would be strenuous. HUGE gaps in the pavement ever 10-15 feet
November, 2020 by flemrjackson
Beautiful and not to crowded
October, 2020 by gonzalez82n
This is a beautiful place for a walk,but not for cycling. Bridge ends abruptly in a four-foot drop into a dry creek bed.
October, 2020 by muddonna
The city seems to love cement trails, i guess they have lots of money. I would prefer a nice gravel trail myself. The cranks and grinding to level the cement has improved the surface a lot.
October, 2020 by nardclaar
My husband and I biked this trail today. We liked it. Did not see any vagrants or encampments.
amazing view
August, 2020 by mickeybiosense
Amazing trail I highly suggest. First tunnel closed follow the path created to go over the tunnel. Carry bike takes 10 minutes over mountain over few rocks and stream. This is worth it views are amazing. Note when starting trail it's 1000 feet biking up the trail before you desend on other side totally worth. Take breaks. Tunnels are a little scary it's not lit so bring mountain bikes flash lights.
Homeless, dirt patches, run down, and more
August, 2020 by asevans48
The trail is nice from its Northern starting point near Sand Creek Elementary to Chelton road. The next patch after this is paved to a barrier erected by the homeless leading directly into a homeless camp all the way to the Hancock Expressway. You have to skate/ride through the camp. After that, the path becomes a mix of unkept dirt patches and homeless people past the jail to the sports park and connection with the Front Range Trail.
As a skater, I had a better time on the Front Range Trail/Pikes Peak Regional Greenway (South/North at the park). That part is dirt and requires the large wheels of a tri-skate.
As with all Colorado Springs trails, you will be dissapointed. 0/5 for 90 % 5/5 for 1/4 of a mile.
Unkept, broken benches, could be great
This trail needs serious maintenance work. There is a pile of dirt under every bridge. Handrails are down as well between Galley and Murray. The concrete is broken beyond the point of being called concrete between Shooks Run and the newer trail. This is a commuter trail that no one cares about. It was nice to commute down the Cherry Creek Trail to work in Denver and from Denver to Englewood/Chatfield. I could even skate those trails they were so well taken care of. Hopefully, someone starts to take care of Shooks Run, the Legacy Loop, and the Rock Island trail. It could make the city more appealing to start ups, making the commute to Denver less of a necessity ($97 per day spent outside city limits on gas/food/car wear and tear).
If Colorado Springs took a little more care of and updated its trail system, you could actually commute to work without using a car. Sadly, that is impossible with the state of this system.
Broken Concrete, Unkept, Crosses Multiple streest
I am a fitness skater who loves speed. This trail is worse than every trail but prats of the Highline Canal Trail in Westminster, CO. Moved here last week and was looking for a 5-star trail system like the one in Denver. This one is a full-star unlike the 1/2 star Rock Island. Do not skate here without SUV skates or large wheels, preferably the latter to avoid flats
- Some cool restaurants and an ice cream place along the way
- Covers nicer neighborhoods in the city
- Have to cross major and minor roads every 1/10 - 1/4 mile
- Parks along route need some serious care
- Major chunks of concrete missing
- Dirt under the legacy loop bridge that never gets cleaned up
- Dirty
- Broken concrete in patches
Skates:
Powerslide Next 110 (big wheeled skate)
Does this city care about the park system? You can get from Denver to Aurora, Chatfield to Golden on some of the nicest sidewalk. Here it feels like the last time anyone paved a trail or removed and power washed the dirt away was 1995. There is 1 nice section though with a new sidewalk between the bridge and Tasty Freeze. Could be such a great skate/run/biking trail. They will need to enhance the trails to compete with the quality of life in the state.
West to east it is a great downhill delight that makes you feel like you are not in a city.

great trail
July, 2020 by hnwagner1124
Parked at the trail head off Woodman Road. Very nice trail. Some ups on loose rock and gravel. There are spots that had a fair bit of sand to pedal through. I would suggest Mountain or Gravel bike for this trail. Would ride again! Super fun and really nice scenery!
