Treatment for Cancer Patients Should Include Exercise
Sandra Yin
November 7, 2011 (Washington, DC) — Doctors traditionally advised their cancer patients to rest and avoid activity. However, preliminary findings from a recently completed trial suggest that exercise during preoperative chemotherapy helps breast cancer patients avoid a decline in fitness.
Researcher Lee W. Jones, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology and scientific director of Cancer Survivorship at Duke University Medical Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, presented the findings here at the American Institute for Cancer Research 2011 Research Conference on Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and Cancer.
In the randomized controlled trial, 20 patients with breast cancer were treated with either neoadjuvant chemotherapy (control group) or neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus exercise for 12 weeks.
Patients' tumors were all larger than 1.5 cm. Those in the exercise group participated in interval training on a bike 3 times a week at 60% to 100% of baseline peak oxygen consumption.
In the control group there was a 10% reduction in fitness over 12 weeks of treatment. Typically, fitness declines about 10% every decade, Dr. Jones noted.
If you don't exercise during chemotherapy, you're going to get a hit, said Dr. Jones. "Just avoiding that decline in fitness is important."
He noted that this finding is similar to that from a much larger randomized trial in 2007 involving 242 breast cancer patients, which found a similar decline in fitness in a control group but not in the group randomized to supervised aerobic training 3 times a week.
According to the "multiple hit" theory, Dr. Jones explained that the effects of cancer therapy and deconditioning decrease the cardiovascular reserve — the ability to deliver oxygen from the environment to muscle mitochondria. Less exercise tolerance can lead to cardiovascular disease and to premature death in survivors.
"The good news is that if you exercise during that time, not only can you completely mitigate that effect...we show that you can improve fitness by about 12%," he said.
No changes in cardiac function were noted, but researchers did see significant improvements in endothelial function and vascular function in the exercise group.
After hearing Dr. Jones discuss studies of cancer and exercise, one of the meeting attendees, Dana Simpler, MD, who has a private practice in Baltimore, Maryland, proposed a way to get cancer patients to exercise.
"Why not have exercise be part of the chemo or radiation visit?" she said. She explained that when patients arrive, they have not received intravenous treatment are not yet sick. They might only be waiting on blood test results. "What if there was a treadmill where patients could walk 20 to 30 minutes, or whatever they could tolerate, before they get their chemo."
Dr. Jones explained that exercise reduces adverse effects, improves energy level, helps with mood, and can ameliorate some of the cardiac effects that patients experience with some chemotherapy agents.
Audience member Kathleen Wesa, MD, assistant attending physician in the integrative medicine service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, wanted more details on exercise dose and duration. She said patients are always asking her whether it should be 10 minutes 3 times a day, or 30 minutes a day, or 1 hour 3 times a week, or 3 hours once a week. "What do I tell them?" she asked. "Are they all the same?"
Just doing once a week for 3 hours is not going to be enough, Dr. Jones said. "I think it needs to be repeated chronic exercise," he explained. He advised that at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise on 5 or more days a week is needed to produce a training response.
Exercise oncology is a relatively young field. Physical activity guidelines for cancer survivors, stating that cancer patients can be physically active, were only published last year, as previously reported by Medscape Medical News. "That's a huge step from where we were 10 years ago," Dr. Jones said.
Fifty years ago, patients faced 6 weeks of bed rest after myocardial infarction. Now, we get them up and moving the day of the event, said Dr. Jones. "Oncology is not there yet," he said, "but I think that's where we need to go."
If patients are feeling fatigued and weak during chemo, said Dr. Jones, the oncologist's advice is to rest and take it easy. "I think what we're finding in our studies is that that's probably the worst advice you could give," he said.
Dr. Jones, Dr. Simpler, and Dr. Wesa have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

[singlepic=1600,250,,,right]If you've ever dreamed of learning a new language, there's no better time than on your career break!
August Flanagan, co-founder of Lenguajero.com, a startup that helps people practice conversational Spanish, has 5 tips on how to make it happen.
1. Go to a/the country where the language you want to learn is spoken.
If you are like me and want to learn Spanish, it is pretty easy to get to the Spanish speaking country of your choice from anywhere in the U.S. Frequently, flights into tourist hotspots like Cancun or Buenos Aires cost only a couple hundred dollars one way. Once you are there, you can catch either a domestic flight or a bus to just about anywhere for a whole lot cheaper than an international flight.
2. Settle down somewhere and spend time in a new community.
If you take a few months (or longer) and stay in just one place during this time you will learn a lot more of the language than if you just travel from place to place during that time.
Forming a routine means that you'll see the same people day in and day out. You'll stop to chat with the same store owner or vegetable vendor, get to know your neighbors, and, of course, you'll make new friends. Which, in my opinion, is really the best way to learn a language.
When you first get to your new home try using CouchSurfing to organize a few nights out. Aside from being a website that helps you find a place to crash, CouchSurfing is a great place to meet new people in cities all over the world.
Not all activities on the road need to be planned in advance. During her travels, Sherry explored the opportunity to take photography lessons from a professional.
[singlepic=1001,200,,,right]I've had an ill feeling that has plagued me for the last year. I first remember it coming on in New Zealand. Then it hit me stronger in Vietnam. I was feverish about it in India. It is the feeling of being in some type of moving vehicle, traveling through a country, and seeing about 25 perfect photographs outside my vehicle window. I would feel ill thinking – "if only I could tell them to stop so I could get out and take a picture." Yet I sat there helpless watching my beautiful shots go whizzing by, wondering if I would ever be able to capture this image again.
I would get queasy when I saw a group of people intimately interacting, simply being themselves, but I couldn't get the nerve to go up and ask them if I could take a photograph. Instead, I would linger a bit, and then sulk off mad at myself for not having the guts to be a real photographer! The few times I did get the guts to go up and ask if I could take a photograph (fumbling through this conversation in broken English, pointing at my camera and smiling) they would normally say 'yes' and then give me some big, posed, toothy grin – transforming the shot from a nice little intimate, cultural gathering, to a Sears family portrait.

Stocks Flip Higher, Led by Tech Shares
Jobless claims data and existing-home sales offered cues on pace of recovery as Covid-19 cases rise

U.S. stocks reversed early losses and edged slightly higher Thursday, powered by the big technology stocks that have driven much of the market's rally this year.
All three indexes opened lower and wobbled between gains and losses for much of the session. Momentum appeared to shift on reports that discussions over a potential new Covid-19 bill would resume in Washington.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has agreed to restart negotiations with Democrats over a new bill, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said at an afternoon press conference.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 44.81 points, or 0.2%, to 29483.23. The S&P 500 ticked up 14.08 points, or 0.4% to 3581.87. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 103.11 points, or 0.9%, to 11904.71.
All three indexes snapped two-session losing streaks and closed at their fourth-highest levels in history.
The energy and technology sectors led the gains in the S&P 500. Halliburton gained more than 3%, while Microsoft, Apple and Amazon.com notched modest gains as well. All three stocks have surged more than 30% in 2020, propelling the major indexes off their March lows.
Stocks have been choppy this week as investors weigh optimism about Covid-19 vaccines that could pave the way for a sharper economic rebound against more immediate concerns. Rising coronavirus cases, fresh lockdown measures and questions about how quickly the vaccine can be made widely available have damped the mood for many investors.
"Markets are grappling to price in two very different pieces of news across two very different time frames," said Hugh Gimber, global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. "The vaccine news is categorically positive, but it will play out over several months and several quarters."
Pfizer's plans to seek authorization from health regulators within days for its Covid-19 vaccine sparked optimism among investors earlier in the week. But virus case counts continue to rise—the U.S. logged more than 170,000 newly reported Covid-19 cases on Wednesday, and the death toll crossed the quarter-million mark.
States are implementing a patchwork of new restrictions to combat the virus's spread. Kentucky, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois are adopting measures including extended mask mandates, bar and restaurant closures and limits on private gatherings. And New York City authorities temporarily closed public schools starting Thursday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also urged Americans not to travel for Thanksgiving, citing the rise in hospitalizations and deaths around the country.
Those developments have given some investors pause after the market's recent rally that sent both the Dow and the S&P 500 to record highs earlier in the week.
"If I am an investor with cash who wants to buy right now, I don't see many opportunities to do so," said Tim Courtney, chief investment officer at Exencial Wealth Advisors. "If you had said to me in March that we would have a global pandemic and lock down the economy multiple times throughout the year, and at the end of the year, markets will be setting records, I would be shocked."

Investors got fresh insights into the health of the economy with new data released Thursday. Jobless claims figures showed a jump last week, with initial claims for unemployment benefits rising to 742,000. The report came amid signs the economic recovery is continuing, but losing steam after rebounding strongly in the third quarter from the pandemic-induced downturn this spring.
"I think this is exactly what we expected to see," said Jason Pride, chief investment officer for private wealth at Glenmede. With virus case counts rising and people staying at home more, "corporations start slowing down their plans and during that period may be a little bit more hesitant to hire," he said.
Meanwhile, sales of previously owned homes rose to a new 14-year high in October and median home prices again hit new highs. The housing market has been an economic bright spot in recent months, propelled by rock-bottom mortgage rates, greater opportunities to telework and a quest for more space to ride out the pandemic.

"Embedded in stronger housing numbers is confidence," said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential. "Housing is in demand, and we think it's going to continue to be in demand post-covid as we move into a post-pandemic environment."
In corporate news, L Brands shares jumped $5.94, or 18%, to $39.55 after the company said strong sales at its Bath & Body Works chain had helped counter declining sales for its Victoria's Secret brand. The company's quarterly revenue climbed 14%.
Macy's rose 19 cents, or 2.1%, to $9.18 after the department-store chain reported that its profit margins improved as lower inventory allowed the company to sell more items at full price. Quarterly sales, however, dropped 23%.
In bond markets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note ticked down to 0.854% from 0.880% Wednesday.
Brent crude, the international benchmark for oil, dropped 0.3% to $44.20 a barrel. Gold prices fell 0.7%.
Overseas, the Stoxx Europe 600 fell 0.8%. Major Asian equity benchmarks ended the day on a mixed note. Japan's Nikkei 225 ticked down 0.4%, while China's Shanghai Composite rose 0.5%.

UNHCR report puts projected resettlement needs in 2017 at 1.19 million
13 June 2016 | Français
With a multitude of conflicts and crises causing record displacement around the world, resettlement has become an increasingly vital part of UNHCR's efforts to find solutions and advocate for fairer responsibility-sharing for refugees, a UNHCR report released today at an annual meeting in Geneva says.
While the UNHCR Projected Global Resettlement Needs 2017 report says that more than 1 million refugees were submitted by UNHCR to over 30 resettlement countries in the past decade, the number of people in need of resettlement far surpasses the opportunities for placement in a third country.
The report says that despite increased resettlement quotas from some countries, expansion in global resettlement capacity, and increases in submissions, the projected number of people in need of resettlement in 2017 will pass 1.19 million.
In response, UNHCR expects to submit 170,000 refugees for resettlement next year, based on the expected global quotas from resettlement states. This compares to a current target of some 143,000 in 2016 and more than 100,000 in each of 2015 and 2014 respectively. Despite the increase in quotas from states and submissions made, the gap in terms of needs remains great.
The 1.19 million forecast is up 72 per cent on the projected needs of 691,000 in 2014, before large-scale resettlement of Syrians began. In 2017, Syrians are projected to account for 40 per cent of needs, followed by Sudan (11 per cent), Afghanistan (10 per cent) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (9 per cent).
Projected Global Resettlement Needs also reports that 2015 was a record year for submissions with 134,044, up 29 percent from the 103,890 recorded in 2014.
"We are seeing resettlement taken to a new level and that enhanced resettlement can be an effective means of sharing the responsibility for refugee protection," High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said. "But much more needs to be done to keep pace with the growing numbers of acutely vulnerable.
"Resettlement is now more important than ever as a solution, and we must grasp this opportunity to increase the number of refugees benefitting from it, as well as other avenues for admission," he added. UNHCR estimates more than 1 million, are in need of resettlement because they are unable to return home or integrate in host countries for a variety of reasons.
The Syrian crisis marked a major shift in the focus of resettlement, which continues to resonate. By 2014, Syrians were the largest group referred for resettlement and by 2015 an average two out of every five submissions were Syrians compared to one out of five in 2014. Other top countries of origin in 2015 included Democratic Republic of the Congo (20,527), Iraq (11,161), Somalia (10,193) and Myanmar (9,738). These four countries and Syria, with 53,305, made up almost 80 per cent of submissions that year.
Resettlement remains an effective measure for people in need such as survivors of violence or torture, who last year accounted for 24 per cent of submissions – a quadrupling since 2005 – and women and girls at risk of abuse (about 12 per cent).
The United States in 2015 accepted 82,491 resettlement submissions from UNHCR in 2015 (62 per cent of all submissions), followed by Canada (22,886), Australia (9,321), Norway (3,806) and the United Kingdom (3,622).
In Africa, the number of submissions rose from 35,079 in 2014 to 38,870. A total 21,620 submissions came from Asia-Pacific countries in 2015, some 16 per cent of global submissions. This was a fall from previous years due in part to the pursuit of other solutions in the region.
In the America's just 1,390 submissions were made in 2015, down from 1,800 in 2014 and reflecting efforts in Ecuador to focus on integration for Colombian refugees.
A total 53,331 referrals originated from UNHCR's operations in the Middle East and North Africa region, up 130 percent from 2014 and some 40 per cent of the global total. UNHCR offices in Europe recorded the highest number of submissions this decade at 18,833, mostly from Turkey.
To tackle growing needs UNHCR is also focusing on how complementary paths such as humanitarian visas, family reunion and scholarships could help bridge the gaps in terms of needs. At a high-level conference in Geneva last March, UNHCR called on countries around the world to provide admission through resettlement and other channels to 10 per cent of Syrian refugees, or 480,000.
UNHCR Projected Global Resettlement Needs 2017 was released on the first day of the Annual Tripartite Consultations for Resettlement, gathering representatives from UNHCR, resettlement countries and NGOs. Co-chaired by the Dutch government and the Dutch Council for Refugees in partnership with UNHCR, it is the most important multilateral forum to advance the resettlement agenda to the benefit of refugees and receiving communities.

REVIEW: Sleep launches three-night residency at GAMH (RIFF Magazine)
Posted on December 30, 2018 by Ian Inocencio in Last Night, Show Reviews, Spotlight
Without a word of introduction, the trio unleashed a tsunami of sludgy, down-tuned guitar fuzz, snarling bass and thundering drums. The simple three-note riff sounded like the best part of a Black Sabbath song, played at the wrong speed, for roughly 15 minutes.
To call the music "heavy" would be an understatement. The super-massive sound emanating from the stage had a gravity all its own. The band's movements were labored, as if struggling to push the colossal sounds up a steep hill.

Last year found Fishbone reuniting its classic-era late '80s line-up with longtime stalwarts Norwood Fisher, "Dirty" Walt Kibby and kinetic frontman Angelo Moore once again teaming with Fisher's drum-playing brother, guitarist Bingham and keyboardist/trombonist Dowd. Since then, the revitalized group has been tearing up stages and appearing at a variety of festivals over the past year in addition to sharing stages with contemporaries like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Living Colour.

LA Pop-Punk Pioneers Redd Kross Play Slim's (Wed. 12/19 with Dale Crover Band)
Anchored by the McDonald brothers Steven and Jeff for the better part of four decades, Redd Kross brings its mix of punk energy and pop hooks to Slim's Wednesday night with support from legendary Melvins drummer Dale Crover fronting his own band.
With major plans looming for 2019 including the reissue of the band's long out-of-print '90s albums Phaseshifter and Show World on Jack White's Third Man Records and a new album for Merge, Redd Kross is currently touring the West Coast with support from Melvins drummer Dale Crover (who — like bassist McDonald — plays in both bands) and his own group. A powerhouse musician who has occupied the drum stool for bands including Nirvana and Acid King as well as such supergroups as Fantomas, Shrinebuilder and the aforementioned OFF!, Crover also recorded and toured for years with his own outfit, Altamont.
Last year, Crover released The Fickle Finger of Fate on Joyful Noise Recordings. His first proper solo album since the Melvins issued their individual efforts styled after the solo recordings of Kiss in 1992, the new songs range from brief drum experiments to angular yet melodic heavy rock athems. The drummer steps out in front with a guitar strapped on when the Dale Crover Band (which also features McDonald on bass) plays its first San Francisco show at Slim's Wednesday night before Redd Kross performs its headlining set. - KPIX / CBS SF BayArea
Fishbone still at top of alternative heap (Fri. 12/21 at GAMH with Diego's Umbrella & The Crooked Stuff)
Throughout Fishbone's 30-year career, the ska-punk band from South Central Los Angeles has tirelessly produced genre-busting albums and headlined frantic college festivals, only to watch its support acts — such as No Doubt, Sublime and Jane's Addiction — speed by to stardom.
Lead singer Angelo Moore and bassist Norwood Fisher — who this year reunited with original Fishbone members drummer Philip "Fish" Fisher, guitarist John Bigham and trombone player Chris Dowd — continue to press on unabated and rocking ferociously.
"I feel like I'm in a time machine and time is standing still," Moore says. "We see people standing in the front row of our shows, they go off, get married, come back with their kids — all this stuff. I think, wow, that's how long we've been around?"
The band performs Friday, Dec. 21 at the Great American Music Hall. - SF Chronicle

Honky-tonk Whitey Morgan fuels with alcohol (Fri. 11/30 at GAMH with Alex Williams)
Posted on November 30, 2018 by Ian Inocencio in Interviews, Preview, Spotlight
Outside of old "Leave it to Beaver" reruns and Boston police reports, one rarely hears the name Whitey these days. But grizzly singer-guitarist Eric Allen, a native of Flint, Mich., had his reasons for choosing the name Whitey Morgan for his honky-tonk stage persona in 2005. Whitey was his basketball nickname at his mostly-black elementary school (he took it in good humor) and Morgan was the last name of his late grandfather, who changed his life when he willed him his guitar and vintage country and Western record collection. "Let's face it — Eric Allen is just not a very good stage name. But Whitey sounds like some kid from the '50s, some knucklehead from down the street," says Morgan, who fronts the bluesy band The 78's. Their fourth album "Hard Times and White Lines" was released in October.

Celebrated Doom-Metal Act YOB Returns To San Francisco (Sat. 12/1 – Slim's)
One of stoner/doom metal's leading lights returns to the Bay Area Saturday when Oregon-based trio YOB shares the stage with fellow Northwestern metal experimentalists Khôrada and local avant metal group Ails at Slim's.
YOB played several Northern California shows this past September with a massive doom-metal tour featuring SF trio Acid King and Sacramento outfit CHRCH, but the group brings the new material back to the Bay Area Saturday en route to an appearance at the Decibel Metal and Beer Festival in Los Angeles Sunday. For this Saturday night gig at Slim's in San Francisco sponsored by online metal radio station Gimme Radio, Scheidt and company will be joined by Portland, OR-based crew Khôrada. Formed by members who had made a name for themselves in boundary-pushing metal band Agalloch (guitarist Don Anderson, bassist Jason Walton and drummer Aesop Dekker) alongside former Giant Squid guitarist/singer Aaron John Gregory, Khôrada creates a dramatic and atmospheric style of metal with heavy prog-rock elements on its recent debut album Salt. Opening Oakland quintet Ails is the latest project featuring former Ludicra vocalist Laurie Shanaman and guitar player/vocalist Christy Cather.

John Waters' Gift To San Francisco: Demented Holiday Cheer (Thurs. 11/29 at GAMH)
"I'm a vaudeville performer," says Waters. "I do my job, which is to go out into the world, observe unfathomable behavior and report back to the great unwashed public, my audience."
This year, "A John Waters Christmas" returns to the Great American Music Hall on Nov. 29, and like his friend singer Johnny Mathis' holiday performances, Waters' Christmas show has become a perennial favorite. - San Francisco Chronicle

Review: KT Tunstall Goes Beyond Her Hits at the Great American Music Hall (RIFF Magazine)
Posted on October 22, 2018 October 22, 2018 by Ian Inocencio in Last Night, Show Reviews
Even if you don't think you know KT Tunstall, you definitely know two songs from her 2005 debut album, Eye to the Telescope: "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," and "Suddenly I See" were in just about every movie and TV show from 2006 to 2008. That's barely an exaggeration; the songs' on-screen appearances included The Devil Wears Prada, Ghost Whisperer, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, The Hills, So You Think You Can Dance, the Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood and Dancing With The Stars - on two separate occasions. If you were alive in 2006 you're familiar.

KT Tunstall making new albums and movie music (Fri. 10/19 at GAMH with Maddie Ross)
Posted on October 18, 2018 by Ian Inocencio in Exclusives, Interviews, Preview
With her U.K.-chart-scaling 2016 comeback "KIN," Scottish folk-rocker KT Tunstall understood how far she had come since her punk-fueled 2004 debut "Eye to the Telescope." And she trusted her instinct, which — after divorcing bandmate Luke Bullen — made her leave her home in London for California's Venice Beach and take Skywalker Ranch courses in film scoring. Those led her to her new sixth album, "WAX." The cinematic effort includes the "Telescope"-evocative single "The River," co-produced by Franz Ferdinand's Nick McCarthy. She suddenly saw that it was part two of a trilogy dealing with the spirit, body and mind. "In my 20s, I thought I knew everything, and in my 30s, I was anxious, because I realized I don't know anything," she says. "But in my 40s, it was like 'Aha! I see you now!' and none of it mattered anymore."

Soracom announces general availability of integrated eSIM for IoT
Tokyo — SORACOM, INC. provider of the leading cloud-native communication platform for the Internet of Things, today announced availability and full support for embedded eSIMs, allowing use of Soracom services across a broad range of advanced use cases.
The SORACOM eSIM provides all of the capability of the standard SORACOM Air SIM, mounted on an IC chip compliant with the MFF2 standard. Thanks to its greatly reduced size and permanent location on the circuit board, the eSIM supports a wide variety of compact form factors, streamlines manufacturing and distribution processes, and improves reliability and durability thanks to enhanced resistance to environmental factors such as vibration and temperature fluctuation. These advantages make the eSIM ideal for a wide range of applications, from consumer products to automotive and industrial use.
Working with new APIs for device state management and subscriber authentication, Soracom's independent subscriber management and authentication infrastructure (HLR) provides a wide range of options for remote device management, including delivery of SMS between devices and servers and placement in STANDBY state to minimize costs when devices are in transit or storage.
The Soracom eSIM chip measures 5x6mm and offers advanced heat, moisture, and vibration resistance, with tolerances of -40°C to +125°C in storage and -40°C to +105°C in operation, a memory cycle of 500K at 105°C, and data retention of 15 years at 85°C.
SORACOM will continue to develop new services and expand existing functions to provide IOT developers with the greatest possible range of options to support creation and deployment of new IoT solutions. Soracom is committed to creating a more connected world, and will contribute to the development of the IoT industry through the SORACOM platform.
Endorsement from our customer
"ADXNET has extensive experience delivering products across global markets, but when we were ready to release our latest smartwatch we found it challenging to negotiate separate operator agreements and verify successful operation in every region. The industrial-grade SORACOM Global eSIM lets us connect to networks across multiple regions at a reasonable cost, with a single operator agreement and a single device-side configuration. The features and timing of SORACOM's eSIM solution worked perfectly for our worldwide smartwatch release, and we look forward to a successful partnership."

UFC have confirmed that a vacant champion will be crowned as Joanna Jędrzejczyk will take on Valentina Shevchenko for the Flyweight Championship at UFC 231 in Toronto, Canada on December 8th.
This will be the forth time that Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Valentina Shevchenko will square off as both women previously competed against each other on three different occasions in Muay Thai where Shevchenko managed to come out on top with all of those victories.
Former UFC Strawweight Champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk has a MMA record of (15-2) and has won two of her last four fights. She holds notable wins over Jessica Andrade, Claudia Galdelha, Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Carla Esparza. Jędrzejczyk's latest win was against Tecia Torres where she won via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night Calgary this past July.
Former Bantamweight Contender Valentina Shevchenko has a MMA record of (15-3) and has won 3 of her last four fights in the UFC. One of those fights was a close split decision loss to current UFC Bantamweight Champions Amanda Nunes at UFC 215 back in September of 2017.
Current UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway is expected to take on Brian Ortega in the main event for UFC 231 but this has not yet been officially announced by the UFC.

I have to be completely honest. I disliked Tonight the Streets Are Ours from the beginning. It wasn't the writing. Leila Sales writing was just as amazing as it was in This Song Will Save Your Life. My dislike for the story was my inability to connect with the main character, Arden.
"Recklessly loyal" Arden drove me nuts. She was so self-centered (even when she was putting others first) and unlikable. Arden's "loyalty" was completely irritating to me. While she found herself to be the reliable, good friend, she tended to do things for all of the wrong reasons. Arden had a "Poor me. No one loves me as much as I love them." thing going on and it wasn't cute. She portrayed herself as being a giving person, but I found her to be completely self-serving. I couldn't connect with her and I didn't want to. It made reading the story painful at times.
As I pushed myself through Arden's thoughts and interactions with friends, I began to wonder where the story was going. Was I even going to like it if I didn't like Arden? She played the victim and I wanted to see her get a reality check. I wanted her to pull her head out of the hole she buried it in and see beyond herself. I wanted her to treat her mom well, to stop playing the martyr and to figure out who she really was.
Then, Arden meets Peter. Well, she doesn't truly meet him. She discovers his blog. Arden has finally met someone who shares many of the same feelings she does. As she gets to know Peter through his blog, she becomes obsessed with it. Her obsession begins to shape how she sees herself, her friends, family and Peter and his friends and family — and not necessarily in a good way.
I may have had to wait until nearly the end, but the last fourth of the book was exactly what I had been waiting for! It was filled with surprises and truths.
On an unexpected road trip to meet Peter, Arden finally begins to question her reality. She begins to grow up and see beyond herself. Her road trip brings about an ah-ha moment with a message that's perfect for YA (or all) readers.
So while I didn't love or connect with Arden until the very end, I still loved the writing and the outcome of the story. No matter how annoyed I was with Arden the entire time, that couldn't take away from the ending. The ending was perfect, entertaining and thoughtful. It made all of my feelings worth it. Tonight the Streets Are Ours ended up being a book I would highly recommend to YA readers.
I've heard so many negative reviews about this one, especially with the dislike for the characters. It's one of those books that I've found myself wondering what it's supposed to be about, even after reading the synopsis multiple times. I haven't read This Song Will Save Your Life, although I do have it on Kindle, so maybe I'll read that before picking this one up!
Definitely read This Song Will Save Your Life. I absolutely loved it. It's probably one of my favorite contemporary YA books. I think that's what made this one so hard to read. While the writing is good, the MC drove me nuts in a way that left almost wanting to put the book down for good…But I knew the pay off had to be big for the character. Life changing really. And it was. You won't find much about the plot because no one wants to give the twist away. I rated it higher than I probably should of based on that.


Beth Hoffman made a splash with her first novel SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT and she is back with LOOKING FOR ME. The cover is too precious and knew I had to uncover the story within but it definitely was not what I expected.
LOOKING FOR ME is the story of Teddi Overman a girl from a remote Kentucky Farm that follows her dream and inner voice regarding antiques. But before Teddi makes her way to Charleston, South Carolina and the rest of her life we spend time with her growing up. She has a father whom she adores and who adores her right back; a mother that seems to be distant that she cannot seem to please and a sweet brother Josh who loved nature but never quite fits in to everyday life.
Even when Teddi heads to Charleston to pursue her dreams of antiques with grandma in tow she is still connected to her family and her dear home in Red River Gorge. I thought we were going to settle in for life in Charleston but that was not the case. Teddi's current life is always taking her back to Kentucky either figuratively or in her memories through the entire book.
I had the pleasure of reading and listening to this novel. I so enjoyed both and continued to alternate throughout our time together. LOOKING FOR ME was narrated by Jenna Lamia from Penguin Audio US and she cast such a light as Teddi. Although, I did not think her portrayal of the other characters was as strong.
This entry was posted in Audiobook, Books, Fiction Light, Novel, Southern LIt and tagged Beth Hoffman, LOOKING FOR ME, Pamela Dorman Books, Penguin Audio US, Penguin Group USA, SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT, Viking. Bookmark the permalink.
I loved this book, and I've heard the audio is perfect. I had the pleasure of meeting Beth this year…it was so awesome, she is as gracious and lovely as she is a gifted writer.
You know I think you might be responsible for me reading/listening to LOOKING FOR ME, so big thank you for that. It is not a genre I had embraced but between you and Beth I think I am hooked.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review of my novel. I'm delighted that you enjoyed Teddi's story and I'm grateful for your kind words!
Everything was just right, beautiful cover, wonderfully rich story I was not expecting and my favorite treats of Teddi and her objects. Thank you for taking the time to stop buy and leave this comment.

A Vision to behold
The Thames Vision is gathering pace across a series of strategic goals for the river.
A Vision for the future – pupils learning with Fulham Reach Rowing Club
We all have our 'to do' lists. Many of them probably contain a few vague or even unrealistic goals. And, sadly, many of those lists have a habit of getting longer rather than shorter.
Some 'to do' lists are more robust. The Thames Vision, launched by the PLA in 2016, provided a concise list of six goals. The list is of ambitious, but attainable, goals. There is a total commitment to getting things done and crossing things off the list.
Over the next two decades we can expect goals to be updated and the tasks to broaden out, reflecting changing circumstances and reviews of progress.
After all, this is a Vision for a mighty, successful, happy and healthy river!
The Thames Vision is for the development of the river over the next 20 years, and its goals cover trade, travel, environment and culture.
In October 2018, the PLA published a detailed progress report which showed that delivery of the Vision is progressing well. Predictably, progress is swifter in some areas than in others – for example, the PLA has led the Thames Litter Forum in launching the Thames Litter Strategy and worked with the Greater London Authority on the development of a cultural strategy for the river, and there has been an unprecedented upswing in the underlying volume of freight being moved between wharves on the Thames.
"The Thames Vision gives everyone a shared understanding of what we want to see the Thames used for – not what the PLA wants, but a collective view. The Vision was developed after many months of research and consultation with a wide range of stakeholders," says the PLA's director of corporate affairs and strategy, Alistair Gale.
The progress with Thames Vision goals are, in summary...
The busiest ever Port of London: volumes for 2018 were over 53 million tonnes, and London is close to reclaiming the title of the UK's busiest port.
More inland freight, taking lorries off the roads: underlying intraport freight increased from 2.39 million tonnes in 2015 to almost 3.4 million tonnes in 2017, and these underlying volumes are forecast to continue their growth alongside Thames volumes generated by major infrastructure projects such as the Thames Tideway Tunnel.
Double the number of people travelling by river, to reach 20 million commuter and tourist trips a year: this is a more challenging area, with passenger trips dipping slightly through 2017/2018, due to security concerns and the Woolwich ferry service suspension as new boats were brought into service. However, new piers are opening alongside the arrival of new vessels, networks are expanding and the prediction is for growth.
A riverside which is a magnet for ramblers, historians, artists and others: it is unusual for a port to take this interest in cultural aspects but, as Alistair Gale says: "Connecting more people with the Thames is important – prompting people to go to the banks and enjoy and appreciate the river can make them feel more engaged and therefore keen to look after it more." The PLA is now one of the main sponsors of the Totally Thames festival, which brings people together to celebrate the river.
Greater participation in sport and recreation on and alongside the river: a sports participation study identified a strong baseline of activity and opportunities for increasing participation in the future. The PLA is working with national governing bodies and a number of sports clubs in order to boost participation. More visitor mooring information has been provided on the website, a missing link in the Thames Path has been opened between Charlton and Woolwich, and Tideway has launched an annual Foreshore Festival, giving everyone the chance to try out river-based recreational activities at Putney and Shadwell.
The cleanest River Thames since the Industrial Revolution, with improved habitats and awareness of heritage: initiatives here have included the launch of the Thames Litter Strategy, the setting of baselines and calculation of capital for biodiversity, invasive species and gaps in habitat, the launch of the Air Quality Strategy, investment in the UK's first hybrid pilot cutter, and the 'Green Tariff' discount now being doubled, to encourage cleaner, greener shipping into the Port of London.

HPC: Elsipogtog Protest: We're Only Seeing Half the Story
Posted on October 22, 2013 by Sacred Fire NB

By: Leanne Simpson
In the mid-1990s I moved to Mi'gma'gi to go to graduate school. I was expecting to learn about juvenile Atlantic salmon on the Miramichi River. I was naive and misguided. Fortunately for me, the Mi'kmaq people saw that in me and they taught me something far more profound. I did my first sweat in the homeland of Elsipogtog, in the district of Siknikt. I did solidarity work with the women of Elsipogtog, then known as Big Cove, as they struggled against imposed poverty and poor housing. One of them taught me my first song, the Mi'kmaq honour song, and I attended her Native Studies class with her as she sang it to a room full of shocked students.
I also found a much needed refuge with a Mi'kmaq family on a nearby reserve. What I learned from all of these kind people who saw me as an Nishnaabeg in a town where no one else did, was that the place I needed to be wasn't Mi'gma'gi, but in my own Mississauga Nishnaabeg homeland. For that I am grateful.
Nearly every year I travel east to Mi'gma'gi for one reason or another. In 2010, my children and I travelled to Listuguj in the Gespe'gewa'gi district of Mi'gma'gi to witness the PhD dissertation defense of Fred Metallic. I was on Fred's dissertation committee, and Fred had written and was about to defend his entire dissertation in Mi'gmaw (Mi'kmaq) without translation — a ground breaking achievement. Fred had also kindly invited us to his community for the defence. When some of the university professors indicated that this might be difficult given that the university was 1300 km away from the community, Fred simply insisted there was no other way.
He insisted because his dissertation was about building a different kind of relationship between his nation and Canada, between his community and the university. He wasn't going to just talk about decolonizing the relationship, he was determined to embody it and he was determined that the university would as well. This was a Mi'kmaw dissertation on the grounds of Mi'kmaw intellectual traditions, ethics and politics.
The defense was unlike anything I have ever witnessed within the academy. The community hall was packed with representatives from band councils, the Sante Mawiomi, and probably close to 300 relatives, friends, children and supporters from other communities. The entire defense was in Mi'gmaw lead by community Elders, leaders and Knowledge Holders — the real intellectuals in this case.
There was ceremony. There was song and prayer. At the end, there was a huge feast and give away. It went on for the full day and into the night. It was one of the most moving events I have ever witnessed, and it changed me. It challenged me to be less cynical about academics and institutions because the strength and persistence of this one Mi'gmaw man and the support of his community, changed things. I honestly never thought he'd get his degree, because I knew he'd walk away rather than compromise. He had my unconditional support either way. Fred is one of the most brilliant thinkers I've ever met, and he was uncompromising in his insistence that the university meet him half way. I never thought an institution would.
All of these stories came flooding back to me this week as I watched the RCMP attack the non-violent anti-fracking protestors at Elsipogtog with rubber bullets, an armoured vehicle, tear gas, fists, police dogs and pepper spray. The kind of stories I learned in Mi'gmagi will never make it into the mainstream media, and most Canadians will never hear them. Instead, Canadians will hear recycled propaganda as the mainstream media blindly goes about repeating the press releases sent to them by the RCMP designed to portray Mi'kmaw protestors as violent and unruly, in order to justify their own colonial violence. The only images most Canadians will see is of the three hunting rifles, a basket full of bullets and the burning police cars, and most will be happy to draw their own conclusions based on the news – that the Mi'kmaq are angry and violent, that they have no land rights, and that they deserved to be beaten, arrested, criminalized, jailed, shamed and erased.
The story here, the real story, is virtually the same story in every Indigenous nation: Over the past several centuries we have been violently dispossessed of most of our land to make room for settlement and resource development. The very active system of settler colonialism maintains that dispossession and erases us from the consciousness of settler Canadians except in ways that is deemed acceptable and non-threatening to the state. We start out dissenting and registering our dissent through state-sanctioned mechanisms like environmental impact assessments. Our dissent is ignored. Some of us explore Canadian legal strategies, even though the courts are stacked against us. Slowly but surely we get backed into a corner where the only thing left to do is to put our bodies on the land. The response is always the same — intimidation, force, violence, media smear campaigns, criminalization, silence, talk, negotiation, "new relationships," promises, placated resistance and then more broken promises. Then the cycle repeats itself.
This is why it is absolutely critical that our conversations about reconciliation include the land. We simply cannot build a new relationship with Canada until we can talk openly about sharing the land in a way that ensures the continuation of Indigenous cultures and lifeways for the coming generations. The dispossession of Indigenous peoples from our homelands is the root cause of every problem we face whether it is missing or murdered Indigenous women, fracking, pipelines, deforestation, mining, environmental contamination or social issues as a result of imposed poverty.
So we are faced with a choice. We can continue to show the photos of the three hunting rifles and the burnt out cop cars on every mainstream media outlet ad nauseam and paint the Mi'kmaq with every racist stereotype we know, or we can dig deeper. We can seek out the image of strong, calm Mi'kmaq women and children armed with drums and feathers and ask ourselves what would motivate mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters and daughters to stand up and say enough is enough. We can learn about the 400 years these people and their ancestors have spent resisting dispossession and erasure. We can learn about how they began their reconciliation process in the mid-1700s when they forged Peace and Friendship treaties. We can learn about why they chose to put their bodies on the land to protect their lands and waters against fracking because setting the willfully ignorant and racists aside, sane, intelligent people should be standing with them.
Our bodies should be on the land so that our grandchildren have something left to stand upon.

Hello there, Michelle here and I am delighted to be Guest Designing with Studio Katia. I have two cards to share with you today. My first card uses the adorable Meowy Halloween Stamp Set and coordinating dies.
I started off by stamping the kitty from the set on to white cardstock. I coloured her using Copic Markers and then cut her out using coordinating dies. I took a panel of white cardstock and cut an aperture from it using one of the dies from the Dotted Pattern: Scallop Frames Die Set. I then stamped the sentiment below the aperture with black ink.
On to a piece of Bristol cardstock, I blended over purple and black Distress Inks to create a background. This piece I then adhered to the front of a black A2 card base. Next I added window panel on top with foam tape. I added the kitty to the centre, also with foam tape. To finish off, I adhered few Clear Round Drops.
My next card uses the adorable Winter Kobi Stamp set and coordinating dies. Plus, the Dotted Pattern: Scallop Frames Die Set.
I started off by stamping Kobi, his sleigh and presents on some white cardstock using black ink. The images were then coloured using Copic Markers and cut out using the coordinating dies. I took a piece of white cardstock and cut it using the largest scallop die from the Dotted Pattern: Scallop Frames Die Set. I freehand cut a mask for the snow and added this to the bottom of the panel. I then blended over Broken China Distress Ink to create a soft sky background.
Next I removed the mask and added Kobi, his sleigh and presents on to a panel with foam tape. I stamped a sentiment from Friends of Winter Stamp Set using black ink. I then adhered the whole panel on to a white A2 card base with foam tape. To finish off, I added few Crystal Rainbow Confetti.
Thank you so much for visiting the blog today! I hope you have a great day!
Two delights, Michelle! I have Birthday Kobi…need to bring him out for some play time! Meowy Halloween is awaiting attention; how cute her little jack o-lantern! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!
Both of your cards are great but I might have a slight preference for the second one.

Q: UITabBarController: Thread 1: Signal SIGABRT I have a UITabBarController set up to four different views.
The first two and last tab bar items properly segue to the proper scene. However, when I click on the "search" tab bar item, the app freezes and gives me an error of Thread 1: Signal SIGABRT. The segue seems to be exactly similar to the other ones so I'm confused. The search page uses a navigation controller.
2345
When I checked other similar questions, the usual solution was to find any missing or extra outlets. But I didn't find any or see any yellow triangles.
I redid the segue, deleted the derived data, cleaned and rebuilt, and reset the simulator with no luck. Does anybody know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

Space technology solutions provider, SSL a provider of advanced spacecraft systems announced the shipment of the first of three satellites to the SpaceX launch base at Cape Canaveral in Florida. The three state-of-the-art satellites will contribute significantly to broadband communications within their respective footprints.
The first to ship, Telstar 19 VANTAGE, was built for Telesat. It will be the 50th SSL-built communications satellite to launch in the last ten years. It is scheduled to be launched next month. Following shortly thereafter will be Telstar 18 VANTAGE, another HTS (High Throughput Satellite for Telesat, and the Merah Putih satellite (previously Telkom-4), which is being launched for Indonesia's, PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk.
Telstar 19 will move to 63 degrees West, the same location used today by Telesat's Telstar 14R. It will support advanced broadband connectivity for enterprise, consumer and mobile users throughout the America's and the Atlantic. The satellite, like other VANTAGE models will provide a mix of broad regional beams along with multiple, powerful HTS spot beams. The HTS technology utilizes multiple small hot beams, laid out in such a way that the frequencies delivering service can be used in multiple spots, providing cost effective savings in frequency use, optimizing network performance and providing higher throughput.
The satellite will provide a combination of Ka and Ku HTS spot beams. Telesat's Ka-band HTS beams will service Northern Canada, the Caribbean, the North Atlantic Ocean and South America. Ku-band HTS spot beams will service the Brazilian and Andean regions. Finally, there will be a new Ku-band broadbeam providing capacity over the North Atlantic Ocean servicing the important maritime mobility market.
The third HTS in Telesat's fleet will connect Asia to the Americas from its orbital position at 138 degrees East. Replacing Telstar 18, it will provide extensive C-band coverage of Asia and deliver Ku-band spot beams in Malaysia and Indonesia. Six additional Ku-band regional beams will also be provided. The HTS high performance beams are designed to meet the growing demand in that region for mobility, enterprise networks, and telecom services. Telesat partnered with APT Satellite of Hong Kong on this satellite which is referred to as Apstar-5C, by APT.
The name represents the red and white of the Indonesian flag. This satellite will provide service throughout 17,000 islands that make up the Indonesian archipelago, along with India and other parts of South and Southeast Asia. Integrated into Telkom's greater telecommunications network, Merah Putih will participate in the backbone that connects Indonesia, which also includes submarine cable.
The satellite will replace Telkom-1 at 108 degrees East. Its entire payload is C-band which will provide internet and telephone service for widely remote regions, in an equatorial/tropical region where C-band is more reliable. It will also provide backhaul for cellular services.
SSL is a Maxar Technologies company. Maxar is deeply vested in the new space economy, working to develop and maintain infrastructure, and information systems that are expected to spark NewSpace – the commercialization of space for everyone.

RightNation.US: Ocasio-Cortez blasts capitalism as an 'irredeemable' system - RightNation.US

Ocasio-Cortez blasts capitalism as an 'irredeemable' system
By Susan Warren
Bloomberg News (TNS)
Mar 9, 2019 Updated Mar 9, 2019
<More Here>
DALLAS — Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose sudden rise to prominence has made her a target of Republicans and a sometime irritant to her party's leaders, called capitalism an "irredeemable" system that is to blame for income inequality.
The 29-year-old, first-term U.S. House member from New York and self-described democratic socialist addressed an enthusiastic crowd Saturday at the South by Southwest conference in Austin about issues that resonate with her fellow millennials, from universal health care to combating climate change.
She directed some of her sharpest comments at an economic system that she said values profit over people.
"Capitalism is an ideology of capital — the most important thing is the concentration of capital and to seek and maximize profit," Ocasio-Cortez said. And that comes at any cost to people and to the environment, she said, "so to me capitalism is irredeemable."
Although she said she doesn't think all parts of capitalism should be abandoned, "we're reckoning with the consequences of putting profit above everything else in society. And what that means is people can't afford to live. For me, it's a question of priorities and right now I don't think our model is sustainable."
Instead of conservative politicians scaring people that socialism means the government is going to take over their business, "we should be scared right now because corporations have taken over our government," she said.
Texas' South by Southwest conference has evolved into one of the country's defining cultural events combining music and film festivals with showcases for technology and politics. One year away from the Super Tuesday primary where Texas will loom large, it's an ideal venue for presidential aspirants to raise their profile and test their message early in the race.

Yeah, she's right. :coffeenpc:

Does she understand how ANYTHING works? Or why? I already know she doesn't understand economics and the role of government, so I'm going more basic.
Anything? How any part of the infrastructure works? How we get water in pipes to buildings? How sewage works? Toll roads?
Multiplication tables?

Well, under Capitalism, some people are rich, some are middle class, and some are poor. Under Socialism, everyone is poor, except for the Party favored few, who are rich because, of course, all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.

In this second installation of the Overhead Series, Lucy Haché once again transports the reader with intimate revelations on identity by exploring both her personal and ancestral relationship to the sky and stars. Hache's prose is extraordinary in its combination of self-awareness yet unselfconscious honesty and skillful restraint, creating a sense of connection under the vastness of the stars above. Masterfully illustrated by artist Michael Joyal, his evocative astronomic drawings contribute to the overall sensory and transcendent experience.
"[Hache] uses the stars to remember not only the tribulations of the past - Residential Schools and the loss of her traditional village - but also to remember the happiness of her grandmothers and to remember her language. Her poetic prose if full of imagery so rich that the reader can feel swept away with the power of the language." - Canadian Indigenous Books for Schools 2018-2019
"Indigenous People have always had a strong relationship with the sky. Here, Joyal's stark, beautiful illustrations combine perfectly with Haché's voice as she sings a story of loss, and ultimately, reclamation." --David A. Robertson, author of When We Were Alone (winner 2017 Governor General's Literary Award) and Strangers
