Rebecca Mailloux recently completed her eighth season as head coach of the women's golf team at Grand Valley State.
The GVSU women's golf team won three tournaments and had one runner-up finish in the 2016-17 season, including a second place finish at the team's 15th straight NCAA Regional Tournament to advance to the NCAA National Championship tournament. Additionally, five Lakers excelled under Mailloux's instruction and garnered All-GLIAC honors.
Katie Chipman earned First Team honors in her freshman campaign, while Alex Taylor, Maria Sol Pose, Samantha Moss and Julie Guckian all brought home Second Team honors.
Last season, Mailloux led the Lakers to a fourth place finish at the Division II National Championship in Aurora, Colorado, becoming the 12th ranked program (via golfstat) in Division II by seasons end. That, coupled with leading the team to a ninth straight GLIAC Golf Championship , earned Mailloux the GLIAC Coach of the Year for the sixth time in her career. The team tied the GVSU program record with eight team victories, and set a new program best mark for finish percentage at 89.7 percent. The Lakers also set a new program record in total birdies, with 281, and tied the program record for eagles, with five on the season. At the 2016 Division II National Championship, GVSU shattered the previous program record for a team low round, carding a 284 team score in the third round of the event (previous record was 292). Additionally, the Lakers set new program marks in 36 hole and 54 hole low rounds at the 2016 GLIAC Championship.
Under Mailloux's leadership, senior Gabrielle Shipley had a breakout season, netting four first place and three second place finishes while leading GVSU with a 73.79 scoring average. Shipley capped off her spectacular season with the 2016 individual national championship.
In all, five Lakers earned All-GLIAC honors, as juniors Alex Taylor and Julie Guckian joined Shipley on the First Team, while freshman Alex Amos and sophomore Samantha Moss were each named to the Second Team.
Most recently, Mailloux was named GLIAC Co-Coach of the Year, earning the award for the fifth time in her career. The Lakers, who finished the season ranked No. 17 by Golfstat, won six tournaments, tied for the fourth-most in program history. Moreover, GVSU's 310.14 scoring average was the fourth-lowest in school history, while its 211 birdies were the fourth-most by any Laker team. In its victory at the Perry Park Spring Fling, GVSU broke the program's 54-hole scoring record, totaling a 37-over-par 893. At season's end, Kelly Hartigan nabbed her third WGCA All-America laurel (honorable mention) and Gabrielle Shipley collected a WGCA All-America First Team plaudit. Shipley was also named the GLIAC Women's Golf "Athlete of the Year", Hartigan became a four-time All-GLIAC First Team selection and Julie Guckian and Alex Taylor earned All-GLIAC Second Team laurels. Although the team finished fourth at the NCAA Division II East Super Regional, narrowly missing out on a team spot at the NCAA Championship, Hartigan qualified as an individual, eventually tying for ninth place.
In 2013-14, Mailloux earned her fourth GLIAC Coach of the Year award as she guided the Lakers to seven victories, which were tied for the second-most in program history. The 2013-14 team also won GVSU's seventh consecutive GLIAC Championship, scored its seventh all-time victory at the NCAA Division II East Super Regional and made the program's 12th NCAA Division II National Championship appearance. The Lakers also turned in the ninth-best 54-hole score in school history with a 62-over par 926 at the Perry Park Spring Fling. At season's end, junior Kelly Hartigan became the program's fourth WGCA All-America First Team selection, three Lakers earned All-GLIAC First Team honors, another was named to the All-GLIAC Second Team and a pair were named to the WGCA All-East Region Team. Additionally, Hartigan was named the GLIAC Women's Golf "Athlete of the Year", while Julie Guckian earned GLIAC Women's Golf "Freshman of the Year" honors. The team's 313.31 scoring average was the fifth-best mark in school history and their 174 birdies were the eighth-most in a single season. GVSU's seven victories came at the Gilda's Club Laker Fall Invite, Ferris State University Bulldog Invite, Perry Park Spring Fling, NC4K Classic, JBMF Cavalier Classic, GLIAC Championship and NCAA Division II East Super Regional.
During the 2012-13 season, GVSU won its sixth straight GLIAC Championship with a team score of 943 over 54 holes. Sophomore Kelly Hartigan became the sixth Laker to garner GLIAC Medalist honors after posting a 221 (+5) three-round performance. Hartigan, who won four tournaments individually, was also named GLIAC Women's Golfer of the Year upon the conclusion of the season. GVSU finished fourth place or better in nine of the 11 tournaments in which it competed. Mailloux guided the Lakers to victories at the Las Vegas Classic, Triton Spring Invitational and GLIAC Women's Golf Championship. GVSU finished second at the NC4K College Classic, Bing-Beall Fall Classic and Concordia University Invitational. The Lakers narrowly missed out on an NCAA Division II National Championship berth. GVSU tallied 976 to come in fourth place at the NCAA Division II Super Regional 1, which was just five strokes back of California (Pa.), the final qualifier. Hartigan and freshman Gabrielle Shipley earned All-GLIAC First Team honors, while senior Marni Weinstein garnered Second Team recognition and Veronica Ryan was an Honorable Mention.
In 2011-12, The Lakers took home a seventh-place finish as the NCAA Division II National Championship, the 11th appearance at the tournament for GVSU. A fifth straight GLIAC Championship was captured with a 963 three-round performance, including a final round 319 to win the event by five strokes. For the team's performance, Mailloux was honored for the first time as the Division II Eaton Golf Pride NGCA National Coach of the Year. The Lakers won seven tournaments on the season, the second-best single-season total in GVSU history, including a team round of 292 at the Bulldog Invitational, the lowest in school history. Senior Sarah Hoffman capped off her stellar career with a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Division II National Championship and was named an NGCA First Team All-American after finishing second in NCAA Division II in scoring average (74.76), the lowest single-season scoring average in GVSU history. Hoffman tied a school record with five tournament wins on the season and claimed the GLIAC Championship and GLIAC Women's Golfer of the Year award. The Lakers swept the GLIAC Awards as Mailloux was named the GLIAC Coach of the Year and Kelly Hartigan was named the GLIAC Freshman of the Year in addition to Hoffman's Player of the Year honor. Hoffman and Hartigan were both named First Team All-GLIAC as well as sophomore Veronica Ryan. Junior Marni Weinstein was named All-GLIAC Second Team and junior Ashley Beard earned an honorable mention accolade. Hoffman and Hartigan were both honored as part of the NGCA All-East Region team, as well.
In 2010-11, Grand Valley finished in sixth-place at the NCAA Division II National Championship. It was the tenth National Championship appearance for the Lakers. GVSU won its fourth straight GLIAC Championship by coming from behind on day two of the competition to finish with a score of 649 (+73). Mailloux was also named GLIAC Coach of the Year for the second straight season. The Lakers also claimed their fourth consecutive NCAA Regional Tournament Championship besting their closest competitor by nine strokes. Grand Valley also won the Classic Club Invitational in Palm Desert, California and finished second at the Tom Kirinovic Classic, Bing Beall Classic, Zippy Invitational, and the 5th Annual Women's Vulcan Invitational.
In 2009-10, Mailloux led the Lakers to a sixth-place finish at the 2010 NCAA Division II National Championship, marking the ninth time in program history that GVSU has advanced to the national tournament. Grand Valley State also won its third straight GLIAC Championship, capturing the title by a 26-stroke margin, and took home its third consecutive NCAA Regional Tournament championship, winning the 2010 Super Region One Tournament by 13 strokes. GVSU won eight different tournaments throughout the year and placed in the top-six spots in 12 of the 13 tournaments it played in during the 2009-10 season.
After the season, Mailloux was named the NGCA (National Golf Coaches Association) East Region Coach of the Year for the second straight season, as four Lakers earned all-region status and two GVSU golfers were named NGCA All-Americans. Mailloux also was named GLIAC Coach of the Year for the first time, as four Lakers were tabbed as All-GLIAC First Team selections. In 2009-10, GVSU swept the individual all-conference honors, also earning the Women's Golfer of the Year and Freshman of the Year awards.
During her first year at the Laker helm in 2008-09, she helped lead GVSU to a second-place finish at the 2009 NCAA Division II National Championship, the highest finish in program history. Grand Valley State also captured its second straight GLIAC Championship, winning the 2009 title by 25 strokes, and dominated the NCAA East Regional, bringing home the team title by a 42-stroke margin.
Mailloux was tabbed the National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) East Region Coach of the Year, as one of just two regional coaches to win the award outright. She coached two NGCA All-Americans in 2009, four NGCA All-East Region selections, and all five golfers were named to either the All-GLIAC First or Second Team, including the GLIAC Women's Golfer of the Year.
In the fall of 2008, she inherited a program that finished third at the 2008 NCAA Division II National Championship, won the 2008 GLIAC Championship, and returned four of its top five golfers.
Mailloux joined the Laker program after a four-year stint as head coach at St. Leo in Florida. While at St. Leo, she guided the Lions to five top-10 finishes during the 2007-08 season, including three top-5 finishes. During her tenure, St. Leo competed in what is widely regarded as perhaps the best women's golf conference in the country. In 2008, five of the top seven schools in the final Division II Golf Coaches Association poll were from the Sunshine State Conference.
A 2001 graduate of South Florida, Mailloux spent two years on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Futures Tour. She totaled a career-best 15th place finish at the Denver Futures Classic, shooting a 220 (74-74-72). Mailloux gained full exemption status in her second year on the tour. While at South Florida, she played at No. 3 on the golf team and helped the Bulls win the Conference USA championship twice and reach the NCAA Tournament during her junior and senior years.
She attended Longwood College in her first two collegiate seasons, winning medalist honors at the Longwood Invitational as a freshman.
A native of West Warwick, R.I., Mailloux was the Rhode Island women's amateur champion from 1996 to 2000, finished second in the Massachusetts Open in 2001, returning in 2003 to win the championship. She was voted the 2002 Rhode Island female athlete of the year.
Gary Bissell recently completed his fourth season as the head coach of the Grand Valley State men's golf team.
Bissell most recently guided the Lakers to one of their more successful seasons in program history, taking home the 2017-18 GLIAC Championship – their second in as many years – and earning their 16th consecutive NCAA Tournament berth. In their 10 regular season tournaments, the Lakers took home two titles and failed to finish outside of the top-eight in the rest.
Four Laker golfers were honored with All-GLIAC plaudits, led by junior Alex Scott who was named the GLIAC Golfer of the Year. Senior Domenic Mancinelli was also named to the first team while junior Mitchell White and freshman Eric Nunn earned honorable mention honors. Additionally, Scott was named to the Division II PING All-American First Team and was one of just 24 collegiate golfers regardless of division to earn a spot on the 2018 All-Nicklaus Team.
For his efforts, Bissell earned his second straight GLIAC Coach of the Year award.
Bissell led the Lakers to four tournament victories and a pair of runner up finishes in 2016-17. He was recognized as the GLIAC Coach of the Year for the first time in his career as a result. Among the tournament wins was a first place finish at the GLIAC Golf Championships, the program's seventh overall title, and a qualifying berth at the 15th straight NCAA Regional Tournament, where the team just missed qualifying for the national championship with a fifth place finish.
Four Laker golfers were recognized to All-GLIAC teams under Bissell's tutelage, with Bryce Messner, Domenic Mancinelli and Alex Scott earning First Team accolades, and Alex Nannetti garnering Second Team honors. Mancinelli and Scott were also named to the DII PING All-Midwest Region Team.
In his second season, Bissell led the Lakers to two tournament victories as well as two runner up finishes, including a second place finish at the 2016 GLIAC Conference Championship, falling short by just one stroke. The Lakers swept the GLIAC North and South Invitationals in the fall and spring season, respectively.
Under Bissell's guidance, four Lakers were named to the 2016 All-GLIAC team. Sophomore Domenic Mancinelli was a First Team selection, junior Alex Nannetti and freshman Bryce Messner earned Second Team accolades, and freshman Alex Scott was named an Honorable Mention.GVSU also made its 14th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance by earning a berth in the Midwest Super Regional hosted at The Meadows Golf Course in Allendale, Michigan.
During his first season at the helm, the Lakers won a pair of tournaments, took runner-up honors at an NCAA regional event, and tied for fourth in a loaded field that featured six ranked clubs at the Brickyard Crossing Intercollegiate. At the GLIAC Championship, GVSU tied for third place with a 7-over-par 871, the fourth-lowest 54-hole score in program history. Moreover, the team's 7-under-par 281 on day three was the third-lowest in school history, while its 5-under-par 283 in the opening round was tied for the seventh-lowest score to par by a GVSU team. At season's end, Jack Rider, who claimed medalist honors at the Brickyard Crossing Intercollegiate, earned All-GLIAC First Team honors, Tyler Polulak was named to the All-GLIAC Second Team, and Domenic Mancinelli collected GLIAC Freshman of the Year and All-GLIAC Second Team plaudits. GVSU also made its 13th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance by earning a berth in the Midwest/Central Super Regional.
Bissell played at Ferris State for five seasons under head coach Mike Mignano, the 2010 Midwest Region Coach of the Year. During his time with the Bulldogs, Bissell accumulated a 76.1 career scoring average and earned the Bulldog Award - given to the player who best displays work ethic and commitment - as a senior following the 2011-12 campaign.
In his final collegiate season, he helped Ferris State finish second in four tournaments and earn an NCAA Division II Midwest/Central Super Regional berth. Individually, Bissell tied for fourth place at the Wisconsin-Parkside Invitational and tied for 15th place against Division I competition at the Detroit Titans Invitational.
Shortly after he graduated from Ferris State in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in marketing, Bissell gave private lessons at the Rick Smith and Jason Guss Golf Academy at Treetops Resort in Gaylord, Michigan for two years. During the winter of 2013-14, he played professionally on the Florida Professional Golf Tour.
Most recently, he was an instructor for the Jason Guss Golf Academy at Hawk Hollow Golf Course in Bath, Michigan.
Prior to his time at Ferris State, Bissell earned four all-area and two all-state plaudits for the Haslett High School men's golf team. As a senior, he captained the 2006 group, which claimed the MHSAA Division 2 title.
Axel Ochoa is entering his first year on the Grand Valley State women's golf coaching staff as an assistant coach. This is Ochoa's first coaching job.

Phnom Penh Post - Activists jailed over protests in 2014 contest convictions
Activists jailed over protests in 2014 contest convictions

Eight opposition activists in prison for their alleged involvement in an "insurrection" at Phnom Penh's Freedom Park in 2014 were questioned in the Appeal Court on Monday during a hearing contesting their convictions.
In all, 11 activists were convicted by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court in 2015 for leading and participating in the alleged "insurrection" at Freedom Park during post-election demonstrations.
The case centres on a demonstration held on the outskirts of the park, which had been blockaded by security forces to prevent any political activity. The protest became violent when demonstrators, who for months had seen nonviolent rallies violently dispersed, turned on the notorious Daun Penh district security guards, badly beating several.
The defendants have maintained their innocence, with some saying that far from inciting the violence, they had actually attempted to quell it, and little evidence to support their direct involvement was presented in the lower court.
Three of the activists – Meach Sovannara, Ouer Narith and Khim Chamroeun – were sentenced to 20 years in prison for leading the supposed insurrection and were questioned in court prior to Khmer New Year.
The case came at a time of heightened tensions between the opposition and ruling parties following the disputed 2013 election, and many observers have contended that it was politically motivated.
The remaining activists were questioned on Monday about their knowledge of the protests and peppered with questions about who had initiated the violence, if the guards or protesters had been armed and if there had been a plan to occupy the buildings around the park.
The defendants include Ouk Pich Samnang, Sum Puthy, Neang Sokhun, San Seihak, San Kimheng, Tep Narin, An Butham and Ke Khim, who were each sentenced to seven years for participating in the alleged insurrection.
During the questioning, Pich Samnang said that he attended the protest only to demand the opening up of Freedom Park, which he contended was a symbol of the right to freedom of expression.
"They [the lower court] are crazy. They did not have enough evidence to sentence us," he said, prompting a response from Prosecutor Nget Sarath to calm down.
Mao Piseth, a security guard from Daun Penh district's Sras Chak commune, said that he was asked to manage traffic and public order at the protest but that someone had thrown a rock at his arm and punched him in the jaw.
"I did not file a complaint against someone specific but I filed against the group of protesters," he said.
Another guard, Soun Piseth, was unable to answer basic questions asked by the judge, prompting Mao Piseth to step in to say his colleague had fainted a few weeks before and lost his memory.
The hearing will continue on Tuesday.

Man today is becoming poignantly aware of his power to influence for good or evil his own destiny. At this critical moment when he questions his future, we believe it important to present to the public the most significant passages from those books of Sri Aurobindo which deal with this problem, the future evolution of humanity.
At the end of the volume are given a few notes explaining the terms used by Sri Aurobindo and a bibliography.
Our aim will be accomplished if the reader is induced to turn to the original works.


On the anniversary of 5 October 1968, when Civil Rights activists marched to Derry and were brutally attacked by the RUC, precipitating the birth of The People's Democracy, Matt Collins has written an extensive piece exclusively for Rebel, covering the events of 50 years ago and the whitewashing of history which followed.
The main historical focal point for this debased kind of analysis comes at the beginning of 1969, when against appeals by Terence O'Neill's Unionist government to cease civil rights mobilisation, the PD, who were the militant left of the civil rights movement, pressed ahead with a march from Belfast to Derry, which was subject to a heightened level of violence and repression. Criticism of the "Burntollet" march is widespread in historiography, which is reflective of the British establishment's official interpretation of events at this time, forwarded by the Cameron Report (1969). The Cameron Report essentially whitewashed the history of the early civil rights movement, by ignoring the role of state forces in abusing civil rights activists at key moments, and instead holding elements of the movement responsible for bringing about violence and wrecking the possibility of reform, in an extremist effort to precipitate a radical uprising. The major problem, however, is that a close examination of events in the 1968-1969 period illustrated that even limited reforms were consistently met with violence and blocked by the Orange machine, as the history of the Burntollet march clearly testifies.
The civil rights movement erupted in October 1968 and in the space of a few short weeks it had delivered more advancement for the minority community than decades of political stalemate. In Derry, Belfast and further afield, a mass people power movement had fraught increasing pressure on the Unionist government to enact reform. The PD was formed at Queen's University amidst these heady days. A radical civil rights organisation that reflected the "spontaneous" student revolts that were gripping many parts of Europe in the late 1960s, the PD became the most notable militant current of civil rights activism in the North. Students activists from the Young Socialist Alliance at Queen's had attended the 5 October demonstration in Derry, which was brutally batoned by the RUC, and on return to their campus, amidst anger and outrage, the PD was formed. In the days and weeks that followed mass student demonstrations were launched in Belfast and the PD joined wider civil rights demonstrations across the North.
The turning point came in November 1969, when Terence O'Neill was forced to announce a five-point reform package that sought to quell civil rights demonstrations and stabilise the Northern state. The package included a points system for housing allocation, a complaints ombudsman and the abolition of the "company vote", which allowed business owners extra franchise. But although it was a significant climb-down by O'Neill, the package fell short of the programme of reform envisaged by the civil rights movement; in particular, the fundamental grievance of 'one man one vote' would not be addressed, as the manipulated electoral boundaries remained intact. Furthermore, the notorious SPA was to remain for all intents and purpose. The reforms were enough to enrage loyalist opposition while failing to satisfy the civil rights movement at all, of whom all major bodies, including the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) and the Derry Citizens Action Committee (DCAC), rejected as insufficient.
Loyalist opposition mounted after even limited reforms were announced, and in articulating a traditional unionist response to the civil rights movement, militant loyalists began to win the support of members of the police force. In Dungannon, on 23 November civil rights demonstrators were attacked by a mob of loyalists who were led by members of the B Specials. On 30 November a large crowd of Paisleyites armed with sticks and cudgels virtually took over Armagh town in order to prevent a NICRA demonstration, with no opposition from the RUC. It was in this context, then, that Terence O'Neill took to the airwaves on 9 December, declaring "Ulster at the Crossroads", he appealed to the civil rights movement to call off marches, arguing for a cessation of activity and an acceptance of a time frame to implement the November reforms.
O'Neill's call for calm had a resonance. It matched the mood of many of the moderates inside the civil rights movement, some of who had been cautious of action from the very beginning; both NICRA and the Derry Citizens Action Committee declared a suspension of civil rights mobilisation. In early December the PD had met at Queen's, and after a long and contentious meeting it was agreed to call off a demonstration in Belfast and a "Long March" that had been planned for Derry, on 21 December. For the socialist left of the PD, the call to cease mobilisation was a capitulation to the Unionist Party, who had given no commitment to fundamental reform. In effect, the civil rights movement was being asked to help stabilise the Unionist state by putting their faith in O'Neill. Michael Farrell and other members of the Young Socialists, who had already stated their intention to carry on with demonstrations, called another PD meeting on campus on 20 December, which agreed for a march immediately in the New Year. The whole affair reflected the nature of the PD; it was a movement with no real fixed programme or objectives, in which any decision could easily be overturned in the next meeting and the most militant 'leaders' could set the agenda.
The decision to march on 1 January has been presented by historians as one that had the support of a tiny minority of students, who were warned against marching by the great and the good of the civil rights movement. For example, Henry Patterson has stated that the PD march was, 'Criticised by the mainstream leaders of the civil rights movement and with the support of only a few dozen students…' 3 It is a frequent misrepresentation. The only public caution came from Eddie McAteer, leader of the Nationalist Party, who had a track record of opposing civil rights mobilisation. Certainly, there was private disagreement within NICRA and other civil rights bodies, with Betty Sinclair and John Hume undoubtedly among the most wary of marching. Yet much of the criticism of the march was only revealed in hindsight. At the time there was significant support. NICRA and the DCAC had committed to a month's long truce, until 11 January, and therefore, physically joining the march was ruled out, but they did support the students in other ways. NICRA financially contributed to fund supplies for the march, and its general secretary, John McAnerney, publicly supported the PD, stating, '…we are wholeheartedly behind the People's Democracy in this.' 4 The DCAC, under the leadership of John Hume, announced that it would meet the marchers when they arrived in Derry, and the Dungannon Civil Rights Committee urged its supporters to take part in the PD march. Both the Falls Divisional Labour Party branch in Belfast, and the Derry Labour Party voiced support for the students.5 NILP Chairman Paddy Devlin, too, supported the march and organised food for the marchers along their journey. Thus although a small crowd embarked on the march on New Year's Day, 1969, they could claim wider support.
On the eve of the march the PD released a statement, which conveyed a message that is as relevant to contemporary interpretations of the march as to whom it was originally addressed. Its opening lines read, "To those of you who talk of provocation we can only say that a non-sectarian protest against injustice can offend only those who uphold injustices… It is, perhaps, as well to repeat that we are demanding not privileges but rights and that in marching to Derry we are merely exercising another fundamental democratic liberty."6 The march was modelled on the Selma to Montgomery march, led by Dr Martin Luther King, in Alabama in 1965. A pivotal moment in the US civil rights struggle had inspired what would become the most eventful march in the Northern Ireland civil rights movement.
The events that confronted civil rights marchers from 1-4 January 1969 have been well documented. PD marchers faced obstruction, intimidation, harassment and violence throughout the course of the next four days, which exposed the deep backlash that was developing against the civil rights movement. The major source of violence came from supporters of Ian Paisley and his right hand man, Major Ronald Bunting, who declared their intent to 'harry and harass" the students along the way. The march faced a number of blockades by loyalists armed with weaponry and cudgels, most notably at Antrim Town, Randalstown and Maghera. The violence reached a crescendo, however, at Burntollet Bridge outside Derry, where a large crowd of loyalists, made up of many off duty B Specials, descended onto the march and violently beat the civil rights activists. When the march re-gathered after running the gauntlet of violence at Burntollet, it was again attacked on the outskirts of Derry by a crowd brandishing bricks, bottles and petrol bombs, which reigned down at the marchers before another violent attack on the demonstration. The PD march began with some 40 students in Belfast. By the time it reached Derry hundreds swelled its ranks and thousands gathered to greet the civil rights activists at a mass rally. That evening the B Specials brutally attacked the Bogside in a clear act of reprisal. Barricades were erected to defend against the police, and residents began measures to take control over the area. A makeshift piece of graffiti was dabbed on a gable wall entering the Bogside, 'You Are Now Entering Free Derry'; it was a slogan inspired by the campus revolt in Berkley College during the US civil rights movement. Free Derry was born.
In the immediate aftermath of Burntollet a backlash developed against the radical left, which ignored the glaring way in which state forces were involved in the attack and instead blamed the PD for bringing about violence. Terence O'Neill released a wholly one-sided statement that denounced the "arrogance" of "foolhardy and irresponsible students". O'Neill's statement cast him further out of touch with those sympathetic to the civil rights cause, who had witnessed a peaceful demonstration brutally beaten, seemingly with the support of elements of the state. Later, the Cameron Report (1969), the British government's official investigation of events, laid down the now conventional interpretation of the march regarding the PD, stating that elements in the PD had explicitly "sought" violence and that "their object was to increase tension".7 The findings of the Cameron Report are of significance because of the way they have set the acceptable terms of academic interpretation of Burntollet, and the role of the radical left during the civil rights movement. The report presents the civil rights movement as a genuine movement for reform that was wrecked by a cabal of radical militants, who set out to provoke violence in pursuit of a radical agenda. Particular fire is directed at the PD and the Derry Left. By contrast, Cameron goes on to essentially exonerate the RUC as an institution during the same events 8 It is highly problematic that this perspective has been accepted so uncritically throughout historiography, particularly in regards to the Burntollet march, since any feasible reconstruction of events regarding Burntollet shows that PD marchers went to great lengths to maintain non-violence and press for the reform programme laid out by the wider civil rights movement.
One does not need to engage in speculation surrounding these comments to draw two conclusions; firstly, that high-ranking Unionist politicians were aware of an attack and its location, but also, that they were privy to the identities of those who carried out the attack. Taken alongside the evidence already presented that suggests the police knew about the planned attack, it seems feasible to conclude that the ambush happened with the knowledge of key elements of the security forces and the government. Such evidence is rarely considered among historians who focus on the "provocative" actions of civil rights activists and their decision to march. Indeed, the actions of PD marchers, which were consistently non-violent throughout the course of the four days, stand in contrast to both loyalist counter demonstrators and state forces.
The "Long March" to Derry was by definition a conscious attempt to challenge sectarian division through the power of Catholic and Protestant self-activity, and the PD were among the most anti-sectarian and non-violent forces of the period. Burntollet was indicative of the wider experience throughout 1969; a non-violent movement violently attacked and subsequent repression unleashed against significant sections of the Catholic community. The violence and repression, however, did not simply come from the fringes of the hard-line Loyalist right, but from the state apparatus itself, laying the basis for a protracted period of civil unrest and violent conflict.
Dan Finn provides an excellent critique of this latter tendency in, 'The Point of No return? The People's Democracy and the Burntollet march', Field Day Review (Dublin, Field Day Publications, 2013).

Thus, while the RUC are at criticized, particularly during 5 October (1968) and 5 January (1969) in Derry, they are on the whole exonerated for having 'acted with commendable discipline and restraint under very great strain and provocation from various quarters', Cameron Report, Para. 168.

The future is (not) now
Home Advisor's Edge September 2019 The future is (not) now
Forecasting problems when focusing on the present
Alaskajade / 123RF
Consider the following scenarios. Preparing for a long weekend at the lake, you've checked and re-checked the forecast: scorching hot under sunny skies for all three days. But it's cold and rainy as you pack, and you find yourself throwing in a sweater and rain jacket, even though the evidence says you won't need them.
Or, a client wants to buy shares in a tech company that just reported record earnings. Your firm's analysis warns of new competitors entering the space as early as the next quarter. But your client is focused on the news of the day, and you find them less interested in how the company's fortunes could change.
While the consequences of these forecasting failures are very different, the same bias may be at play. West Virginia University assistant professor Julian Givi and Carnegie Mellon University assistant professor Jeff Galak have written a paper about what they call the "future is now" (FIN) bias. The marketing professors conducted nine experiments to show that people are "systematically biased toward expecting the future to be like the present, even when the probabilities of future outcomes make such a belief unfounded."
Their studies are based on subjects being aware of the current context (a score in a game, or today's weather, for example) as well as the objective probabilities of possible future outcomes. The latter should make the former irrelevant, since basing forecasts on the objective probabilities alone—and ignoring the present—would be the reasonable approach.
It's not the one most people take, though. According to the authors, that's because our beliefs are anchored to the present, making it hard to discount current circumstances.
One study tracked forecasts for the direction of an imaginary cold front approaching the African coast. If the wind patterns stayed the same (50% chance, according to meteorologists), the front would continue on Path A the next day, the respondents were told; if the wind changed (50% chance), it would travel along Path B. Though the probability was 50% for either path, 79% of respondents said the cold front would continue on Path A. And many of the 79% expressed strong confidence about this choice.
Another study described two people playing a board game. Participants were told the winner would be determined by a coin flip. Even though the coin flip made the score up to that point irrelevant, more than 70% said the player leading before the last turn would win.
The other studies added layers of complexity, introduced incentives and substituted verbal probabilities (e.g., "most likely") for numerical probabilities, making them easier to interpret. The authors found similar results.
The reason is that people anchor on the present circumstances before learning the probability of the future being like the present, they wrote.
"At this point, people should (rationally speaking) completely discount the present circumstances and only consider the probabilities of potential future outcomes," said the paper.
The authors found that's not what happens, and offer investors a lesson: "financial analysts may believe that aspects of the financial markets are more likely to remain the same (vs. change) than they truly are, and thus make poor investment decisions."
Related biases
The authors noted that the FIN bias could be a relative of better-known behavioural finance biases.
Status quo or familiarity bias demonstrates that people choose the status quo over alternatives and prefer the familiar. Such biases deal with preferences, they wrote, while the FIN bias is about forecasting.
Recency bias, which is not noted in the paper, leads investors to give more value to recent events than older ones, which can be dangerous in a long bull market. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman's WYSIATI (what you see is all there is) concept in Thinking, Fast and Slow holds that we focus on whatever evidence is most available and ignore what isn't.
"The 'future is now' bias: Anchoring and (insufficient) adjustment when predicting the future from the present" is published in the September 2019 issue of the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.

Nat Sherman Timeless Collection No. 16
At the 2011 IPCPR trade show, Nat Sherman showed off the first of its new brands under the direction of its then newly-appointed executive director for retail and brand development, Michael Herklots. While no new product was offered for sale, Herklots gave out a variety of test samples of the company's newest project, Timeless. At the time, Herklots had a pretty good idea of what he wanted, where it would be made and even had the bands completed.
After a bit of delay, Timeless made its debut in December of 2011 offered at Nat Sherman New York City's Townhouse and nationally in January of 2012. Timeless was offered in four sizes, all packaged in 20 count boxes, made at Quesada's new Dominican factory.
On May 8, 2012, Herklots hosted his eighth annual birthday fundraiser to benefit Killingly High School's Learning for Life Fund, his alma mater. As is the custom, there were a variety of special releases made for auction, one of which was a special humidor of the Nat Sherman Timeless Collection, which included a new special size, the Nat Sherman Timeless Collection No. 16, a 7 x 50/33 Perfecto.
Michael Herklots tweeted this picture of the humidor.
The sizes in order of appearance (left to right) are:
No. 5 (3 3/4 x 43)
Hermoso (5 1/4 x 54)
No. 16 (7 x 50/33)
Churchill (7 x 48)
Cigar Reviewed: Nat Sherman Timeless Collection No. 16
Factory: The Quesada Factory (MATASA)
Wrapper: Honduras
Binder: Dominican Republic
Ring Gauge: 50/33
Vitola: Salomon
MSRP: n/a
Date Released: May 8, 2012
Number of Cigars Released: n/a
Number of Cigars Smoked for Review: 1
For a company that isn't really known for Perfecto—the appearance of the cigar is shocking, it's striking. Quesada makes quality cigars, but the gigantic Salomon is crisp and sharp. The wrapper could be a better, but it's still quite attractive and definitely improved by the size. My sample didn't come in cellophane, so the aroma is a faded with a heavy barnyard aroma with a touch of leather. While the cut is clean, there is a bit of tobacco that falls out unfortunately. Cold draw features a perfect resistance with sweet coffee and earth up front, and a dominating mixture of black and white pepper.
The No. 16 begins the first third on the fuller side with smoke rushing out. There's some toastiness that increases before the Dominican earth dominates the profile. While the creaminess eventually emerges on the finish, but it's joined by a heavy mixture of white and black peppers on the tongue. The first third settles to a creamy Dominican earth, some hints of vanilla, citrus through the nose, a toasty finish and a great black pepper.
Into the second third and the smoke production continues to be incredible. Ever since the Timeless No. 16 passed the nipple portion of the cigar—the smoke production has been phenomenal. A coffee note develops, but the cigar is still much of the same: sweet Dominican earth, creaminess, black and white peppers and a bit of toastiness. There's other complexities, citrus and a bit of a deep dark cocoa but not a whole lot of change. Strength has picked up from the medium-plus nature of the first third and now sits around medium-full.
The final third of the Timeless sees a newfound meatiness enter the profile, and the No. 16 eventually loses the prior two thirds, finishing with just the meatiness and creaminess. Smoke production is great until the end, as is the construction across the board. Strength finishes medium-full definitely stronger than either two sizes I've had.
It's refreshing how well this Perfecto smokes. It's not that I hold the belief they don't smoke well, but it's rare to get a draw that was just this perfect on any cigar, and then there's the smoke production.
Nat Sherman just announced three new additions to the Timeless Collection, all made in Nicaragua—it will debut a the upcoming IPCPR Convention & Trade Show.
Strength is a noticeable tick up from the other two sizes of Timeless Collection I've smoked.
The Nat Sherman Timeless Collection was the first new cigar released made at Quesada's new Dominican factory, which really opened in 2011, even if the official unveiling didn't come until this year at ProCigar.
The initial ash held for about three inches.
Herklots said there was some thought about making this an event only cigar.
I come from the school of thought that says you should smoke cigars how the manufacturer intended, that means I don't clip both ends of the cigar before lighting—just the cap.
Herklots has played a role in blending quite a few cigars, including the La Aurora Excepcionales.
If this was ever offered for sale, it'd be interesting to see the price point. It's big and not easy to roll, but the Timeless is $8 in its current most expensive format.
This cigar was given to halfwheel by Michael Herklots of Nat Sherman.
Final smoking time was one hour and forty-five minutes.
This was not a cigar that was going to offer many changes, and that wasn't a bad thing. The No. 16 is my favorite of the Nat Sherman Timeless Collection for three simple additions: the refined pepper contrast, the increased depth and the extra kick in strength. The Timeless Collection is not my favorite blend Quesada has made—not bad, but far from something like the España. If you like the Timeless Collection and are looking for a bit more, you'll love the No. 16; if you were like me, this is not going to revolutionize much.

What is use of air vessel in reciprocating pump? |
Air vessels in reciprocating pumps are used to transfer the fluid pressure generated by the pump into a gas, which is then used for other purposes. These include power generation or compressed air.
The "working of air vessel in reciprocating pump" is a question that has been asked by many people. The answer to the question is that, an air vessel is used to provide power for the pump.
In a reciprocating pump, the air vessel is a cast iron closed chamber with an entrance at its base. These are attached to the suction and delivery pipes near the pump's cylinder. The containers are employed for the following purposes: (a) maintaining a constant supply of liquid at auniformrate.
What is the purpose of an air vessel in this case?
Aircraft carrier. In a compressed air distribution system, the air vessel is utilized as anaccumulator to hold compressed air, remove condensate via cooling, and correct for pressure changes. Air vessels are utilized as hydrophors and safety components in water supply systems to minimize surge pressure.
What is priming in a centrifugal pump, other from the above? Priming is the process of thoroughly immersing the impeller of a centrifugal pump in liquid without creating an air trap. This is particularly important when starting a business for the first time. However, it is best to start the pump only after priming.
What is the difference between a centrifugal and a reciprocating pump, for example?
The major difference between a centrifugal and a reciprocating pump is that a centrifugal pump uses the kinetic energy of the impeller to continually provide fluid, while a reciprocating pump piston suckes the fluid and then pushes it out, which does not provide continuous supply.
Is it possible for a reciprocating pump to develop cavitation?
Rapid pressure fluctuations cause cavitation, or the development of bubbles or vaporcavities in a liquid. In reciprocating pumps, there are two forms of cavitation: Inlet pipelines that are blocked, clogged, or otherwise malfunctioning may cause suction cavitation.
What is the pump's principle of operation?
The impeller and suction are still at the heart of a centrifugal pump's operation. The centrifugal motor's operation is straightforward. The impeller's spinning provides an extremely low pressure near its input, known as the impeller's eye.
What are the many kinds of pumps?
Dynamic pumps and Positive Displacement Pumps are the two kinds of pumps available.
Pumps come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Centrifugal pumps are a kind of centrifugal pump.
Vertical Centrifugal pumps are a kind of centrifugal pump.
Horizontal Centrifugal pumps are a kind of centrifugal pump.
Pumps that are submersible.
System of Fire Hydrants
Pumps with a diaphragm.
Pumps for gears.
What are the benefits of using a reciprocating pump?
The Benefits of Reciprocating Pumps Applications with High Pressure and Low Flow: Reciprocating pumps are often used in low flow, high head applications. Efficiency: When compared to other pump types, reciprocating pumps have a better efficiency. Centrifugal pumps are quite straightforward in design.
What sorts of reciprocating pumps are there?
Power pumps, power diaphragm pumps, air-operated pumps, and air-operated piston pumps are the four most prevalent kinds of reciprocating pumps.
What exactly is a reciprocating pump?
A reciprocating pump is a fluid-moving pump that moves backward and forward. A piston, plunger, or diaphragm travels back and forth in a reciprocatingpump. During the suction and delivery strokes of a reciprocating pump, the liquid follows the movement of a piston.
Why is a positive displacement pump called a reciprocating pump?
Soas are positive displacement pumps that discharge a consistent quantity of fluid under all situations. The second point to consider is that reciprocating pumps take in a certain volume of fluid and output it in the same amount. As a result, a pressurerelief valve is utilized to safeguard the pump from overpressure by directing the pump's flow backwards.
What is the purpose of a centrifugal pump?
Centrifugal pumps are used in a wide range of industries. They're often seen in refineries and power plants. They're also the go-to pump for municipal water projects. When just a little or no suction lift is needed, they are utilized to transport the general water supply from the pressure main.
What is the best way to start a reciprocating pump?
Procedure for Starting a Pump
Set up the pump valves in the proper order.
Make sure the drain valve is shut.
Suction valve should be opened.
To bleed out gases, open the vent valve and then shut it when liquid flows out.
The gland-seal valve should be opened (if fitted).
The bearing and oil cooling systems should be turned on (iffitted).
What sorts of centrifugal pumps are there?
There are several types of centrifugal pumpsthatare useful for transferring fuel and other types ofliquid,including radial and axial Centrifugal pumps are a kind of centrifugal pump.Radialcentrifugal pumps facilitate a flow that is sped up inanoutward motion via a pump impeller.
What is the efficiency of a pump?
Pump efficiency is defined as the ratio of the pump's water horsepower output to the shaft horsepower input. The power unit, which is commonly an electric motor or an internal combustion engine, delivers shaft horsepower to the pump.
Why is a reciprocating pump more efficient than a centrifugal pump?
Efficiency & Performance
A reciprocating pump is more efficient than a centrifugal pump in general. Reciprocating machines are often used in low-flow/high-head applications. In low-flow/high-head applications, centrifugal pumps may have efficiency as low as 40%.

Underground networks help parents breach Family Court custody orders
CHURCH and domestic violence groups accused of aiding underground networks that help parents breach custody orders and go on the run with their children.

'Have to die': Young sisters killed by mum
CHURCH and domestic violence groups have been accused of aiding underground networks that help parents breach custody orders and go on the run with their children.
Parents, unhappy with Family Court custody decisions, are kidnapping their own children, and are using family, friends and other resources to stay under the radar.
The parents left behind, who are legally entitled to custody of their children, are having to dip into their own pockets to ask the courts to hear their applications for recovery orders.
The Family Court and Federal Circuit Court of Australia in Queensland are issuing about three recovery orders a week, with 156 of the "last resort" orders made in the last financial year - the most in the country.
Applications for them are considered urgent, but depending on how busy the court is, orders can take days or weeks to be heard.
Once granted, an order is sent to the Australian Federal Police, which can use state police to help find the children.
It is understood that once a recovery order is made most parents co-operate, however some continue to hide their children from authorities.
The parents hunting for their children can be up against church-associated groups or women's centres, such as domestic violence groups, which can link parents to services that help keep them under the radar.
Family law experts claimed the Family Court was under-resourced and not able to help some parents, while lobby groups said some parents were forced to steal their children because the courts refused to acknowledge domestic violence or sex abuse.
Dan Bottrell of Jones Mitchell Lawyers, Queensland's largest family law firm, said he suspected the large number of recovery orders being made in Queensland was because of southerners seeking tree or sea changes in the state.
Mr Bottrell said once relationships broke down, one parent often wanted to return home to their former state, causing some friction in relation to parenting arrangements.
One parent, who cannot be named by law, claimed a domestic violence group and others had helped a former spouse hide two children from the courts and investigating federal police.
When six officers finally found the children - who had been missing for a month - they had been given new SIM cards for their phones and had access to a number of different computers.
The parent who had illegally taken the children had limited funds at the time.
The aggrieved parent, who applied to the court for a recovery order, was told by the children they had been moved between a number of houses when the AFP were close to finding them.
The offending parent repeatedly denied knowledge of the children's whereabouts to police.
New South Wales Victim Support Unit executive director Robyn Cotterell-Jones said she wouldn't be surprised if some people tried to help hide some children.
"If the courts continue to fail parents' expectations of keeping their children safe, people will be forced to take protective action in which, of course, breaching court orders is regarded as much more unlawful than failing to protect a child," Ms Cotterell-Jones said.
A highly placed source associated with parental disputes acknowledged being told of anecdotal evidence that church groups had also helped some parents.
Griffith University's Clinical Legal Education Program director Zoe Rathus, an expert in family law, said the courts had to deal with complex and emotive issues.
"These are highly discretionary issues, in how people (the courts) understand violence and abuse," Ms Rathus said.
"I do think some of the experts who are used a lot in the courts don't necessarily have the relative expertise in domestic violence."
In a statement, the AFP told The Courier-Mail its role in the family law process was to act on specific orders of the court.

My pronunciations will probably make Chinese people wince, so apologies for that. I'm still getting my head round Pinyin, much less the confusion of regional dialects! Hopefully I will find the brain space to record some more snippets from the adventures of the ever-hungry Zhu further on in 2019. If any listeners are Chinese and can recommend a reliable pronunciation guide for names (book, website etc.) it would be appreciated. Not wholly sure how valid the source I am currently using is.


Having seen the less than glorious impact that washing the dirty strips in public had on Celtic's European campaign you might have thought that Rangers would have had more sense than to do the same.
Not a bit of it. New chairman Alistair Johnston faced the press for the first time yesterday and seemed to leave a number of questions lingering unanswered as the debate rages as to the extent of the Rangers crisis.
Against this backdrop Walter Smith appeared to issue an ultimatum about his future. The suggestion had been that Smith would refuse to sign an extension in January. He now seems to be saying that is not the case (going as far as to blame the rumour on his wife) but demanding answers to financial questions before he commits.
The good news is that Alistair Johnston promised Rangers won't do a Leeds United. The bad news is that Rangers fans will now be wondering how close that prospect actually is.
How bad are things? Worse, I think, than many might realise. For someone as long in the tooth as Walter Smith to cause a fuss like this in the week of a European game points to a club rife with problems.
Strange times for sure, but there's a game on tonight.
You would think there's about as much chance of Rangers getting the better of Sevilla as there was of Hawick Royal Albert beating Huntly at the weekend.
But you would probably have written Rangers off at half time in Stuttgart and they came home with a point.
Since then they have been dire. Really bad. There best player is a centre half. No shame in that. Except that Bougherra also appears to be their most potent attacking force.
Form is temporary of course. This might just be a blip that has been blown out of proportion by the ongoing financial storm blowing off the field. It all adds up to Rangers being massive underdogs tonight.
They will play the tried and trusted European formula. The big surprise is the inclusion of Stephen Naismith as the lone forward - a move that signals Kris Boyd's demotion to third choice on European nights. It will be back to the walls stuff.
Can I see any hope for Rangers tonight. No. Sevilla will be the best team they play this year. Walter Smith has shocked us at Ibrox before. Tonight, his team out of sorts and his club in turmoil, will be a surprise too far.
A long night, then, for the less than capacity crowd. They can, perhaps, amuse themselves by scanning the stands for any benevolent billionaires who might just have wandered in to Govan for the night.

Comedians And Journalists Now Unemployed Without Trump
Thousands of comedians and reporters have begun filing for unemployment following Trump's departure from the White House on Wednesday.
One comedian, who insisted on remaining anonymous, finally spoke about the chaos taking place for comedians in the entertainment industry.
"That's it, we're over, it's all over. These past four years were so easy, we could just say Trump was stupid and the audience back home would eat it up. People told us we were clever and that we were speaking truth to power. But now what? We've got nothing, we have to start actually writing jokes now. I don't even remember how to do that. I tried, we all did. All the writers got together and tried to write a joke but all we got was ten pages of Trump critiques that were only moderately funny. In a few months we're all going to be homeless."
Journalists have also been hit hard by the absence of Trump, many of them unsure what to do with their lives on a daily basis now. One reporter told us exactly how she felt.
"I used to stay up long nights crafting the perfect Tweets to Trump's nonsense. I would prepare a whole list of scathing questions to ask him during his press conferences. I mean, I had article after article published in big papers and they were all about Trump. Now I just sleep in each day and lay on the floor staring up at the ceiling. Nothing exciting is happening on Twitter anymore, people aren't calling me a hero for doing my job, I feel so lost, so empty. I hate to say it but a part of me is starting to miss Trump. I've started drinking again, I was sober for five years. It's the only thing that fills the void now."
The Federal Government expects the number of unemployed to increase dramatically following the departure of Trump, an early report suggests that those working on late night shows and evening news segments will be hit the hardest now that they have nothing to talk about anymore.

These may be the best tater tots I've ever had.
Yeah. I just said it.
And you know the best part about these AHMAZING (and oh so addictive) tater tots is? They're not fried. They're not breaded. They're not full of gunk. They're just potatoes, deliciously sweet and smoky roasted garlic, and my fave dairy product: Parmesan cheese. And a dash 'o' salt. Oh yeah.
Do you want to know the 2nd best part?
I got to use my cutie-patootie little baby ramekin. Loooook at it! Cuteness.
Seriously though...I couldn't stop eating these. I'm sort of in love. And of all the tater tots that I've made, these might be the EASIEST and quickest too! Even Michael liked them (he said next time he'd like to try them with only potatoes-but at least he didn't say he'd rather have the frozen kind!-SUCCESS!...sorta...I still wanted the garlic and Parmesan....but I guess I could go basic next time ;P).
You should make these for yourself, for your significant other, for your mother, for your kids, for your brother (I ate mine before my brother could get to them-that kid is a bit of a mooch lol), for EVERYOOONE. They are total winners! Imagine bringing them to a barbecue, or having them as an after school snack, or snacking on these lovelies whilst watching Netflix on the couch....all are great options.
Adapted from Food52's "Hand-Formed Parmesan Tater Tots"
Makes approx. 31 tater tots.
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Scrub potatoes and place (whole potatoes) on a baking sheet.
Take 2 cloves of garlic-leaving the skins on-and place in the middle of a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and twist up the aluminum foil around it. Place this on the baking sheet with the potatoes.
Roast the potatoes and garlic for 35 minutes-until the potatoes are fork tender. Remove from oven and increase the oven temperature to 425F degrees.
Once roasted garlic has cooled, remove the skin and mash into a paste. Place in the mixing bowl you just used.
Using the large bowls of a box grater, shred the potatoes (you may leave the skins on or remove them). Add the grated potatoes to the bowl with the garlic and add the Parmesan cheese and salt. Use a fork to combine everything.
Line the baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Coat with olive oil.
Using a teaspoon (or just your hands) form little 1 inch cylinders out of the potato mixture and place on the oiled sheet.
Bake 20 minutes. Flip each tater tot over. Bake 15-20 more minutes.
Cool slightly and serve hot.
Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator and, to reheat, place in a 350-400 degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
I also like the crisp outsides and potatoe-y insides.

The Very Real Skin Conditions That Can Pop Up From 'Touch Starvation'
There's a lot of science behind this one.
By Liz Ritter, Executive Editor · May 14, 2020

It's no secret that we're experiencing less handshakes, less hugs and less contact with others overall during this time of "staying put" and social-distancing.
As Simon Marxer, VP of Spa and Well-Being for Miraval, explains, that lack of physical contact can pop up as the lesser-known condition of skin hunger—aka, touch starvation or touch deprivation—and it can have some rather serious repercussions, including exacerbating depression, anxiety and sleep issues.
"Humans thrive off of connection with other humans, and without it, social and mental capabilities can suffer," Marxer says. "This is not limited to social connection—humans also need physical contact, whether it be a simple handshake or hug, or even a service like a massage. These can reduce stress and increase production of positive hormones like oxytocin."
So what does that mean for our actual skin? While Marxer doesn't necessarily believe that skin hunger can directly manifest itself physically on the skin, he does contend that it can certainly lead to stress, "which directly causes other skin issues such as breakouts and rosacea."
Fort Lauderdale, FL dermatologist Dr. Matthew Elias shares that same school of thought, saying that, while there's not a ton of concrete evidence showing that lack of touch causes skin-disease burdens, there's no denying the very definite psych-derm link.
What's more, Saddle Brook, NJ dermatologist Dr. Frederic Haberman, says, is that this "neurological phenomenon" has been supercharged by the coronavirus pandemic.
"It's why babies in neonatal intensive care units are placed on their parent's naked chests. It's the same reason that prisoners in solitary confinement often report craving human contact as ferociously as they desire their liberty."
As Dr. Haberman explains, when you touch the skin, it stimulates pressure sensors under the skin that send messages to the vagus, a nerve in the brain. "As vagal activity increases, the nervous system slows down, heart rate and blood pressure decrease, and your brain waves show relaxation. Levels of stress hormones such as cortisol are also decreased."
FTC Warns Against Fake COVID Treatments Like Chinese Herbs, UV Light and High-Frequency Sound
He also points out that there have been many COVID-19 patients with cutaneous manifestations such as COVID-Toes, typical viral exanthem, blisters erythematous (reddish) rash, or a patchy, red rash. "A few developed urticaria, or hives, and one developed chickenpox-like blisters. The trunk was the most commonly affected area. Petechiae, or broken blood vessels has been reported," he adds. "More recently, there have been reports of COVID-19 patients developing livedo reticularis, or mottling, which could indicate occlusion of blood vessels near the skin."
"It is a well-known fact that the skin and the mind are intimately intertwined," says Bloomfield Hills, MI dermatologist Linda C. Honet, MD. "We know that emotional stress can trigger or flare a skin condition, like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and even autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata. We also know that difficult skin conditions like delusions of parasitosis and trichotillomania are mainly a manifestation of a more global psychological issue, but demonstrated in the skin."
But, as Dr. Honet points out, COVID-19 may turn the tables.
"We must wonder how the skin affects the mind and the health of the rest of the body? How will the lack of touch and lack of human connection affect us and our health? Human touch is necessarily the core of what connects us to each other, a positive feedback loop of sorts, where no words need to be exchanged," she says. "Whether it's a hand shake, a hug, a kiss, or a light tap on the shoulder, human touch reinforces our emotional connectivity with each other. It underscores our feelings and reinforces our emotional connections. The effects of skin hunger and the fallout from the social distancing mandated by the current COVID-19 era may be more than we anticipated."
"Unfortunately, this new normal, where we are willfully depriving ourselves of touch and human connection, may be around for a very long time—and we have yet to know how this skin hunger will impact us as the emotional beings we are."

Layer salmon with sprigs of fresh dill, cover and simmer until done ( until fork can be inserted with no resistance - 8 plus minutes depending on thickness of your filets.) Gently take salmon out of poaching liquid, remove dill, plate and cool. Spoon Key Lime Mayo over filets and decorate with roasted red pepper lattice.

Medicinal plants are the major sources of natural product and are known as natural source of derived compounds which are being used in the safety of human life. In the early age of human life, the plants are used for the nutritional purposes but as the research is focus on the investigation of their medicinal potential then these are become a useful source of remedies for various diseases and health improvements. The present work was focus on evaluation of antimicrobial, cytotoxicity and thrombolytic potential of methanolic extract and its polarities based fractions of Heliotropium strigosum. The extraction was performed by methanolic solvent and fractionation by using chloroform, ethyl acetate and aqueous solvent sequentially on the basis of their polarities. Antibacterial activity and antifungal activity was performed by disk inhibition assay which showed significant (p<0.05) potential 36mm and 32mm was shown by against Staphylococcus aurous and Escherichia coli respectively. Highest antifungal activity was shown by 28mm by aqueous fractions whereas least 12mm by ethyl acetate fraction against the Aspergilus nigerfungus species. Cytotoxicity activity also showed significant results by hemolytic assay. Thrombolytic activity showed highest activity (34.54%) by methanolic crude extract while ethyl acetate fraction showed lowest (23.16%) activity. This study showed that the crude extract and polar fractions of crude methanolic extract of H. strigosum can be considered the potential sources of antimicrobial and thrombolytic agent not only in the food industry but also in cosmetics and pharmaceutical preparations.
