Background: The localization of substance P in brain-stem regions associated with vomiting, and the results of studies in ferrets, led us to postulate that a neurokinin-1-receptor antagonist would be an anti-emetic in patients receiving anticancer chemotherapy. Methods: In a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 159 patients who had not previously received cisplatin, we evaluated the prevention of acute emesis (occurring within 24 hours) and delayed emesis (occurring on days 2 to 5) after a single dose of cisplatin therapy (70 mg or more per square meter of body-surface area). Before receiving cisplatin, all the patients received granisetron (10 μg per kilogram of body weight intravenously) and dexamethasone (20 mg orally). The patients were randomly assigned to one of three treatments in addition to granisetron and dexamethasone: 400 mg of an oral trisubstituted morpholine acetal (also known as L-754,030) before cisplatin and 300 mg on days 2 to 5 (group 1), 400 mg of L-754,030 before cisplatin and placebo on days 2 to 5 (group 2), or placebo before cisplatin and placebo on days 2 to 5 (group 3). Additional medication was available at any time to treat occurrences of vomiting or nausea. Results: In the acute- emesis phase, 93 percent of the patients in groups 1 and 2 combined and 67 percent of those in group 3 had no vomiting (P<0.001). In the delayed-emesis phase, 82 percent of the patients in group 1, 78 percent of those in group 2, and 33 percent of those in group 3 had no vomiting (P<0.001 for the comparison between group 1 or 2 and group 3). The median nausea score in the delayed-emesis phase was significantly lower in group 1 than in group 3 (P=0.003). No serious adverse events were attributed to L-754,030. Conclusions: The neurokinin-1-receptor antagonist L-754,030 prevents delayed emesis after treatment with cisplatin. Moreover, combining L-754,030 with granisetron plus dexamethasone improves the prevention of acute emesis.

Photo: Danny Clinch/CHVRCHES/The Game Awards 2015
Earlier this week CHVRCHES and Deadmau5 were announced as the musical guests for The Game Awards 2015. It's no secret that the members of CHVRCHES enjoy gaming as witnessed by their stop at Gamescom earlier this year so this is a pleasant surprise and guessing they're just as excited for this performance. Their songs have been featured in video games such as FIFA 14, Gran Turismo 6, Forza Horizon 2 and Grand Theft Auto V.
The Game Awards 2015 will take place live on Thursday, December 3, 2015 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. Tickets to attend this event are now on sale via the Microsoft Theater.

Die Bischöfliche Stiftung Haus Hall ist ein Träger für soziale Einrichtungen mit Sitz in Gescher. Sie ist an 35 Standorten im westlichen Münsterland sowie im nördlichen Ruhrgebiet vertreten. Mit über 2000 Mitarbeitern gehört die Stiftung Haus Hall zu den großen Arbeitgebern der Region. Sie ist dem Caritasverband angegliedert. Ihr vollständiger Name lautet "Bischöfliche Stiftung Haus Hall - Einrichtungen und Dienste für Menschen".

Geschichte

Gründung
Haus Hall ist ein ehemaliges Rittergut in Gescher. Der Name geht vermutlich auf den Familiennamen "Halle" zurück, der im Jahr 1390 erstmals urkundlich Erwähnung findet. Bis ins 19. Jahrhundert hinein wechselte Haus Hall mehrmals den Besitzer. Seit 1837 gehört es der Kirche: Der damalige Besitzer Carl Laprevotte stiftete Haus Hall der Gemeinde St. Pankratius in Gescher. Zum Betrieb einer "Erziehungsanstalt für verwahrloste Knaben katholischer Konfession" gründete Bischof Johann Georg von Münster am 14. August 1855 die Stiftung Haus Hall. Den ihr anvertrauten Jungen zwischen 7 und 16 Jahren bot sie Betreuung, Wohnung und Arbeit, vorwiegend in Landwirtschaft und Handwerk. 1929 wurde der Auftrag um die Betreuung von Menschen mit Behinderung erweitert.

Nationalsozialismus
1937 wurden 25 Mädchen und 168 Jungen zwangsweise in staatliche Anstalten verlegt. Mindestens 26 der Kinder fielen den T4-Mordaktionen der Nationalsozialisten zum Opfer. In den Kriegsjahren konnten weitere Verlegungen von Bewohnern weitestgehend verhindert werden, unter anderem dank des schützenden Eingreifens des damaligen Bischofs von Münster, Clemens August Graf von Galen. Ab 1943 wurden zahlreiche Kinder umquartiert oder von ihren Eltern nach Haus geholt. Bis zum Kriegsende diente Haus Hall als Entbindungsheim und Kriegslazarett, ab 1945 zeitweise als Flüchtlingsunterkunft.

Arbeitsfelder und Einrichtungen
Zur Stiftung Haus Hall gehören heute 45 Einrichtungen, in denen rund 3.000 Menschen betreut werden. Die Arbeitsfelder der Stiftung sind:

 Altenhilfe
 Förderschule
 Frühförderung
 Hilfe für Menschen mit Behinderungen
 Hospizarbeit
 Kindertagesstätten
 Werkstätten für behinderte Menschen

In den verschiedenen Wohnangeboten für erwachsene Menschen mit Behinderung stehen 574 Betreuungsplätze zur Verfügung. 342 Menschen leben in ambulant betreuten Wohnformen. 295 Betreuungsplätze umfasst das Angebot der Stationären Altenpflege. 50 Wohnplätze bietet Haus Hall für Kinder und Jugendliche. Am Standort Gescher betreibt die Stiftung Haus Hall eine inklusive Kindertagesstätte und eine Förderschule.

Der Hauptsitz der Werkstätten Haus Hall GmbH befindet sich auf dem Stiftungsgelände in Gescher. Es gibt Zweigniederlassungen in Ahaus, Coesfeld, Stadtlohn und Velen. Zu den Werkstätten gehört außerdem der Integrationsbetrieb unicoe in Coesfeld. Am Coesfelder Standort Marienburg verfügen die Werkstätten über eine hauseigene Plantage. Mit den Erträgen produzieren sie Bio-Produkte wie Säfte und Marmeladen, die nach den Richtlinien des Naturland e.V. zertifiziert sind. Insgesamt sind 1.138 Menschen in den Werkstätten Haus Hall beschäftigt.

Seit 2005 betreibt die Stiftung Haus Hall Einrichtungen der Altenhilfe. 2005 übernahm sie den Guten Hirten in Bocholt. Weitere Häuser im Stiftungsverbund sind das Altenwohnhaus St. Josef in Legden und das Haus St. Walburga in Velen-Ramsdorf. Senioren mit Behinderung werden im Haus am Schwanenteich auf dem Stiftungsgelände in Gescher betreut.

Leitbild
Ihr Selbstverständnis fasst die Stiftung Haus Hall in einem Leitbild zusammen. Eine erste Version erschien 2001. Im Jahr 2017 wurde das Leitbild vollständig überarbeitet.

Förderverein Haus Hall e.V.
Der Förderverein Haus Hall e. V. wurde 1980 von Eltern und Angehörigen gegründet und hat derzeit rund 300 Mitglieder. Wenn ausgewählte Vorhaben mit öffentlichen Mitteln nicht umgesetzt werden können, unterstützt er die Stiftung finanziell. Dafür setzt er Mitgliedsbeiträge und Spenden ein.

BMWi - Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy - Minister Altmaier: "Clearly defined, precise and internationally harmonised weights and measures are the precondition for a functioning world economy."
At the 26th meeting of the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM), the international community adopted a fundamental revision of the International System of Units (SI) in Versailles today. As from 20 May 2019, new definitions of the base units of the SI, including kilogram, kelvin and ampere, will apply for the 60 Member States and the 42 Associate States of the BIPM, which was founded back in 1875 when the Metre Convention was signed.
Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier said: "In daily life, we all take weights and measures for granted. Therefore it is all the more important that we have clearly defined, precise and internationally harmonised units. This is the precondition for trade and a functioning world economy. The revision of the International System of Units that was adopted today lays the foundation for a modern, knowledge-based system."
Following the decision taken by the CGPM, base units like the kilogram will in future be deduced from constants of physics and nature. As a consequence, they can basically be realised anywhere, at all times and with utmost precision. At present, prototypes of the kilogram still need to be compared with the International Prototype Kilogram (IPK) in a time-consuming process. In addition, the mass of these prototypes changes in the course of time. As early as in 1900, Nobel Physics Prize Laureate Max Planck called for universal units that would apply for all times and for all cultures, including extraterrestrial and non-human ones.
The new base units, however, will not affect daily life. The underlying constants of nature for the base units have been newly defined with very precise measuring methods in many years of scientific work. Numerous metrology institutions worldwide, including Germany's National Metrology Institute (PTB), were involved.
For further information, please visit the website of the PTB at: www.ptb.de.

Skylights are a great way to enjoy the sky, stars, moon, sun – anything you love and to fill the space with natural light. This is a gorgeous idea to add some natural light and to make the space look bigger or highlight the high ceiling. Let me inspire you with some amazing ideas of bedrooms with skylights, you'll never want to leave them!
Skylights are more often seen in attic spaces, and I can't imagine anything cozier than an attic bedroom. The problems of the attic space is a lack of space and lack of natural light but skylights will solve it easily! Skylights will bring much natural light in, the room will look bigger, and if the ceiling is high, they will highlight it. Plus, you'll be able to enjoy views, the sky and other things, which is very relaxing. You can go for just one small skylights, or use a whole line of them or rock windows coming into skylights and a glazed ceiling, everything is up to you.
Modern bedrooms, which aren't attic, can get skylights, too, and if the style is contemporary, minimalist or masculine, we'd recommend to have a usual square highlight over the bed. Enjoy the stars and the sky before falling asleep and wake up with sunlight. Get inspired!


Booking Activities new version, 1.2.0, focuses on an essential feature for your reservations management: notifications.
You will now be notified by email when one of your customers makes a new reservation, and when he reschedules or cancels an existing booking. In the same way, your customer will receive an email notification when you change the status of his reservation or when you reschedule it. Of course, you can choose whether to send the notification before performing the action in question.
There are many scenarios resulting in the sending of a notification, and each of them is 100% customizable. Go to Booking Activities settings, "Notifications" tab, to find the configurable notifications list.
You can change the sender name and address so that your customers can identify the source of the email. The "Asynchronous Email" feature allows you to send emails in the background the next time you load a page (no matter which) on your site. So no one has to suffer additional loading time.
Each email can be customized through WordPress editor, with HTML and CSS code, just like a post. Numerous tags are available to display variable data, such as the reservation list or the recipient's name. Thanks to these two elements, you can send fully customized emails.
Finally, if you run a multilingual site with qTranslate X, emails will be sent in your customers' language.
This version also introduces a text customization tool. Some texts displayed on your site can now be modified directly on your own here. Of course, these fields are multilingual if you have qTranslate X.
The list of customizable messages will be expanded later.

Last weekend was my annual quilt retreat weekend with 'the girls'. This year Michelle set our challenge — an abstract of one of the five senses. The sense I picked out of the hat was taste; the others selected one of the other four senses at random.
I'm continually blown away by the creativity of my friends when we do these annual challenges, and this year was no exception. Here's how we interpreted (in abstract) our selected sense… (Click on a photo to view it larger.)
Michelle: Smell
Michelle titled her art quilt 'Odiferous' (aka 'Whiffy Wafts'!), with the hombre (?) fabrics graduating from small whiffs to full on wafting smells. I love how she used the graduated light to dark grey fabrics in the border especially, and the graduated coloured fabrics for the wafts. And her quilting was to die for — so small and detailed! The entire quilt is about 30×36″, so it's not big.
Glenys: Sight
Glenys knew what she wanted to do as soon as she got her challenge last year 😉 Sight = eyes = optical illusions, so she created this stunning — and big — black and white quilt that changes shape as you look at it from different angles. at times, the centre pops like a big orb, and from other angles, you can see a huge 'X'. But the reality is that it's all an illusion — every black and white block is the same size and shape. The illusions are created by the placement of the small appliqued black and white squares in the centre blocks.
Flora: Hearing
Flora had lots of discussions with her husband and grandsons on how to approach her selected sense: 'hearing'. Her grandsons were keen on her doing something with music, particularly guitars. Flora's an embroiderer so she added quite a bit of hand stitching and small and large beads as embellishments to her lovely guitar-themed art quilt, which is based on Robbi Joy Eklow's style of abstracting objects such as guitars.
Bobbie: Touch
Bobbie blindfolded us (thanks Qantas for all those eye masks I've kept over the years ;-)) and got us to come up to her big cutting table where we had to feel different parts of her quilt (certain bits stuck out, were soft, hard, feathery etc.). As with many of her quilts, her inspiration was the earth and the seasons. Her tree limbs are feet digging into the ground and hands reaching for the sky, and she incorporated aspects of all of nature's seasons going around the quilt. She machine embroidered the apple blossoms and the snowflakes (?), and the texture in the summer and autumn leaves comes from the batik fabrics she used for them. Her quilting for each season and sky/earth aspect reflects that season or element of nature. This is a large quilt and now has pride of place in Bobbie's entry hall!
Rhonda: Taste
I also blindfolded the girls, then fed them small pieces of citrus fruits — lemon, lime, grapefruit, and orange — to see if they could distinguish between sour, bitter and sweet. Most spat out the lime, lemon, and grapefruit and were glad that a piece of sweet orange was at the bottom of the bowl I'd given them 😉 Once they'd removed their blindfolds, I revealed my piece, which I'd mounted on black batting on a portable design wall. I got lots of 'ooos' and 'ahhhs' and some 'OMGs!!', with Michelle saying that I MUST MUST enter this piece in next year's QuiltWest. Each panel is about 15×21″(details on the process for creating this piece start here: https://rhondabracey.com/2013/09/20/2013-challenge-coming-to-a-decision/)
And then the reveal was all over for another year. We're taking a break from a formal challenge in 2014 — three of us are still working and two in particular are finding it hard to complete the challenge in amongst life, work, family and all sorts of other commitments.
However, our 'challenge' for 2014 is to come up with at least three challenge themes each to go into a hat for future years. We've now been doing the challenge and retreat at Bobbie's beautiful house for five years, so we've each had a go at setting a challenge. I know I've learned an awful lot by pushing and extending myself in these challenges, and I'm sure the others have too.
Finally, one of the things we do on the evening that we do the reveal is have 'show and tell' of some of the other things we've worked on during the year, so these next photos are from 'show and tell'. Mine aren't included as I couldn't take photos as well! If I get photos of mine from the others, I'll add them later.
Bobbie's blue and white double wedding ring quilt that she started in 2012 — all finished!
Glenys' cat quilt, also started in 2012
One of the quilts Glenys made for her shop to feature some of the new Halloween fabrics. Just love that owl!
Another that Glenys made for her shop featuring hexagons in a particular fabric range
One of Gleny's staff made this hexagon quilt. Heaven knows how she did that binding!
This was a community quilt I worked on over the weekend. I took the photo to show the effect that quilting has on a quilt — it was quite plain with just 'stitch in the ditch' as you can see in the area of the lower right, so the community quilt ladies asked me to liven it up a bit.
One of the pieces Michelle worked on during the weekend — this will be a banner for her shop's stand at craft/quilt fairs. One of her staff did the centre applique work — Michelle did the stunning quilting in just a couple of hours on Bobbie's Sweet Sixteen.


1. The one-button barrel. Here's your basic anywhere, anytime cuff.
2. Two-button notched barrel. A nice detail that, for formality, is just short of French.
3. The two-button turn-back. A smart look that skews to the dandy.
4. The French. With a simple silk knot or a plain silver cuff link, it's the best way to show them that you know exactly what you're doing. From left: Cotton shirt ($55) by Tommy Hilfiger; cotton shirt ($225) by Robert Talbott; cotton shirt ($185) by Canali; cotton shirt ($46) by Claiborne.
1. The button-down. The least formal of the collar styles, it should be worn with nothing dressier than a sport coat. And always buttoned.
2. The straight-point. The most versatile option. Good for the round-faced or short-necked man, as it neither accentuates girth nor hides the neck.
3. The medium spread. A handsome option appropriate with almost any suit and face shape.
4. The two-button spread. Sits nice and high on the neck, so it works well for the tall, wiry guy who needs some girth to balance a thin face and height to cover the neck. Cotton shirts by Robert Talbott.
You know there's a whole range of weaves, even before color plays into it. But did you know that certain weaves beg pairing with certain ties? Now you do. There are many options, so herewith, some of the most popular.
1. Sea-island cotton. This very light, almost translucent woven cotton works best with silks and other lightweights.
2. Diagonal-weave brushed twill. A textured cotton with a fine pattern, this meaty weave can carry off the chunkiest of woven silk ties.
3. End-on-end broadcloth. Combines white with another color (in this case, blue) cotton in a very fine weave that results in a tiny check. May be paired with sturdy fabrics like thick silk wovens.
4. Pima. This lightweight, supersoft option coordinates with lightweight silk, cotton, and linen ties.
THE PATTERN Why do you people have such trouble with this? Daily we are forced to witness new transgressions in the coordination of upper-body adornment by grown men. You dress yourselves in such a manner as to inspire women to cover their children's eyes and say silent prayers. It's not that hard. It's all trial and error and requires only an eye for color. If you don't have one, do not improvise. Ask the salesman. It's his job. And take a cue from what you see on your well-turned-out peers, or the guys in ads, or the combos below. Do it for the children.
Pencil stripe, bold-striped tie. Cotton shirt ($40) by Geoffrey Beene; silk tie ($105) by Robert Talbott.
Shadow stripe, dark, almost solid tie. Cotton shirt ($220) and silk tie ($105) by Etro.
Multitrack fancy stripe, small-pattern geometric tie. Cotton shirt ($165) and silk tie ($95) by Corneliani.
Giant windowpane check, small geometric tie. Cotton shirt ($260) by Brioni; silk tie ($155) by Ermenegildo Zegna.
Large windowpane check, striped tie. Cotton shirt ($55) and silk tie ($40) by Tommy Hilfiger.
Gingham check, small-paisley tie. Cotton shirt ($38) by Izod; silk tie ($135) by Brioni.
Monochromatic glen plaid, bold-striped tie. Cotton shirt ($185) by Gianluca Isaia; silk tie ($35) by Geoffrey Beene.
THE BOTTOM BUTTON On the well-made dress shirt, the buttonholes are all cut and sewn vertically into the placket, except for the very bottom one, which is horizontal. This is because shirts used to button into the front of the trousers to prevent blousing, and even though pants no longer accommodate, the finest shirtmakers have clung to the tradition. Cotton shirt ($295) by Lorenzini.
THE BOX PLEAT A nice detail on the dress shirt is the box pleat, which drops from the yoke (the piece of fabric that goes over the shoulder) to the bottom of the shirt and provides greater roominess in the shirt's back. Cotton shirt ($49) by Tommy Hilfiger.
THE CONTRASTING COLLAR Created so that white-collar types could wear colorful shirts without losing status, the contrast collar is now a favorite with dandies. Shown is Hilfiger's "lifetime collar," which is cut on the bias to withstand many washings without shrinking. Cotton shirt ($49) by Tommy Hilfiger.
THE HAND-SEWN SHOULDER Only on a very high quality (read: expensive) dress shirt will the sleeve be hand-sewn to the yoke with the stripes of each piece lining up perfectly. Cotton shirt ($575) by Kiton.
THE PLACKET The place where the buttonholes run down the front of your shirt is called the placket. On a well-made dress shirt, the placket is a separate piece of material (left), sewn on with a single-needle machine. Alternately, in superlightweight summer dress shirts, there may be no placket at all (right), in order to keep the shirt cool and elegant. From left: Cotton shirt ($255) by Etro; cotton shirt ($340) by Brioni.
THE GUSSET A gusset is added for reinforcement at the bottom of the shirt where the front and back join. Cotton shirt ($125) by Thomas Pink.
THE BUTTONS Mother-of-pearl buttons are a sign of a well-made shirt. The thicker the better, to withstand washings; four holes mean a better bind.

Georgia's PM Irakli Garibashvili welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks that Moscow "might well go towards returning to the visa-free regime" with Georgia.
"I commend the readiness of the President of the Russian Federation to improve relations with Georgia," Garibashvili said in a written statement released few hours after Putin's remarks at his annual press conference on December 19. "At the initiative of the Georgian side, direct dialogue between Georgia and Russia was launched last year, having already brought about certain results in terms of restoring ties in practical fields."
Direct dialogue, led by Georgian PM's special envoy for relations with Russia, Zurab Abashidze, and Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister, Grigory Karasin, focuses mainly on trade relations, which led to Russia's decision to allow Georgian products back on the Russian market.
"We want this dialogue to be continued and to step-by-step get closer to resolving difficult, sensitive issues. I think reconsideration of existing visa regime for the Georgian citizens by Russia – the issue on which the Russian President commented, will be a positive step in respect of fostering people-to-people contacts. I reiterated that there has always been and is benevolent attitude in Georgia towards the Russian people, which is indeed a solid foundation for future cooperation," reads the statement of the Georgian PM.
"As far as the tragic events of recent history are concerned, we hold views different from those of Russia about the reasons and consequences of those developments. A voluminous and competent conclusion was drawn up about the August 2008 war by the so called 'Tagliavini commission', which was established under the auspices of the EU," the statement reads.
The statement also says that recent progress in bilateral relations gives reason for "certain optimism."
Commenting on Putin's remarks, President Giorgi Margvelashvili said that Georgia's current government is taking "all the necessary steps to de-escalate" long-standing tensions with Russia.
"In this respect, we are taking steps in all directions – there are effective results in terms of trade and cultural relations," President Margvelashvili said and also added: "We are actively working on signing visa liberalization document with Europe. I think that if Georgia manages to meet European standards, it will apparently also meet Russian standards, if there is [Moscow's] political will."

Baby on the Way for Evan Ross and Ashlee Simpson: 'They Always Wanted a Big Family,' Says Source
NOU Trending May 01, 2020
Ashlee Simpson Ross' Autobiography is about to add another family member!
The singer-songwriter and actress, 35, is pregnant with her and husband Evan Ross' second child together, the couple shared on Instagram Thursday alongside photos of themselves holding up a positive pregnancy test.
"Ashlee has been wanting another baby for a long time. They always wanted a big family!" a source tells PEOPLE.
"We are pregnant and we are so excited to share it with everyone. Baby #3," Simpson Ross captioned her post, while Ross wrote alongside his, "The fam is growing. Ash and I can't wait to welcome the newest addition."
"During this unprecedented time, we know pregnant women may be under greater stress which is why we are supporting @marchofdimes Mom and Baby #COVID19 Intervention and Support Fund," the mom-to-be added, referencing the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. "Check out their Instagram page to see how they are helping moms and babies get the care they need now and in the future."
The little one on the way will join big sister Jagger Snow, 4½, plus the mom-to-be's 11-year-old son Bronx Mowgli, whom she shares with with ex-husband Pete Wentz.

The spouses celebrated three years of wedded bliss in August 2017, with the "Pieces of Me" singer posting a sweet tribute to their relationship on Instagram.
"Happy Anniversary my love it has been the best 3 years of my life ," Simpson Ross captioned a throwback snap of the duo sharing a smooch on their wedding day.
"I love knowing that I get to wake up next to you for the rest of my life," she addressed Ross, 31, who is the son of music legend Diana Ross. "Thanks for giving me the best love."

It's impossible to tell whom the new baby will take after more at this point, but considering the very different personalities of Simpson Ross' two kids, it will definitely be a surprise.
"She's definitely different than Bronx," she told PEOPLE of Jagger in December 2016. "Bronx was an easy sleeper. She's like, 'Nuh uh, Mama. I want to stay up and stay up next to you!' "
But that "little bit of toughness" is something Simpson Ross cherishes deeply about her daughter. "I think it's good for a girl," she said of Jagger's outgoing nature. "I'm excited."

Katy Perry is such a bright, outgoing lady, you'd think that she would have a ton of tattoos, right? Nope! She only has five small tattoos, each one being extremely cute and small. She has a strawberry, peppermint, Jesus, lotus flower, and sanskrit tattoo. Check out each one and their meanings! 1. Katy Perry's strawberry tattoo has an adorable little face, and looks almost as if it is going to pop up at any moment into a cartoon and start dancing! In fact, she got this tattoo as a symbol to remind her of her One of the Boys album and all of the success that came with it. While on tour for the album, Katy featured inflatable strawberries and it was a general theme for her outfits as well. She was really amazed by all of the success that happened so quickly, and wanted a reminder of that awesome time in her life. She got this tatto on the inside of her left ankle.
5. Lastly, Katy has a small outline of a lotus flower on the inside of her right wrist. While not much has been said about this tattoo, we can do a little independent research here. In Indian culture, the lotus flower represents knowledge and prosperity. Perhaps it is a reminder to learn from your past and continue to prosper throughout your life. Whatever the case may be, Katy certainly has a very lovely collection of tattoos. Oh and perhaps Katie's next tattoo will be... something having to do with her latest album Prism, with a face? We can only wait and see!
4. On the inside of the right bicep, both Katy Perry and her ex husband Russell Brand have the same tattoo. It is a line of Sanskrit which is the primary language in India. As many know, Russell proposed to Katy while on vacation in India and then actually tied the knot there as well. The line of text interprets to say, "Go with the flow." Sounds like a good philosohy to live by, Katy!
3. There is a Jesus tattoo on Katy'Perry's left wrist. This was also her first tattoo that she got when she was 18. Coming from a very religious upbringing (both parents were ministers), her faith has always been a large part of her life. On the tat, Katy says, "I got this Jesus tattoo on my wrist when I was 18 because I know that it's always going to be a part of me. When I'm playing, it's staring right back at me, saying, 'Remember where you came from.'" She is referring to when she is playing guitar. Also, another quote on Katy's parents says, "People love the idea of a good girl gone bad, thinking that my parents were so strict and disowned me, but that actually wasn't the case. Even though they don't necessarily agree with some of the things I do, they love me as their daughter. That's always been their perspective."
2. On the right ankle, Katy got herself a little friend for her strawberry! The friend is a peppermint, who also has an extremely cute cartoon face. Katy got this to comemmorate her Teenage Dream album and tour. Rumor has it that tattoo artist Bang Bang traveled with Katy and the crew for a whole week to tattoo everyone who wanted one of these little peppermints. Katy's second tour included cutesy peppermint themed outfits and overall awesomeness. Instead of getting the peppermint, Katy's husband at the time Russell Brand got a logo of the West Ham United soccer team.

Breslau to Wroclaw, Danzig to Gdansk, Stettin to Szczecin. The transformed names of these central European cities wear their new names like a facelift, the scars of the past a reminder of how much brutality took place in this region. The hard, staccato consonants of the German battling against the hushed nasal tones of the Polish proving that nations and places are not static.
What if a country just upped and moved? After the World Wars, maps were redrawn across Europe and the world. Poland gained over 40,000 square miles of German land, from the coal mines of Silesia to the coastline of the Baltic sea, gaining the cities of Breslau, Danzig and Stettin too. In the treaties drawn up by the great powers after Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender, Poland actually lost even more land than they took, mostly agricultural land to its east.
But a map is neither the territory, nor is it reality. A redrawn map is a metaphor, hiding the brutal reality of what happens when borders move. Almost 14 million civilians, mostly women and children, fled for their lives in one of the largest forced migrations in history. The Red Army were coming, and after the cruel fighting caused by the genocidal invasion by the Nazis on the eastern front, they were not in the mood to treat German civilians with dignity.
Not everyone could escape back to the rump of what we now know as Germany. Men, if not killed, were sent to prisoner of war camps, sometimes for many years. Women and children had a better chance of staying where they were, though a Soviet war correspondent at the time noted that "the Russian soldiers were raping every German female from eight to eighty."
But Germans had been in these territories for hundreds of years, and many remained—an uncomfortable reminder of what had been and what had been done. The German minority in Poland consisted of 148,000 people in 2011, centered in the region of Opole (or Oppeln) in the region of Upper Silesia—before the war, there had been 900,000 Germans in Upper Silesia alone. Hidden behind the pastel buildings and cobbled streets of the market square, there are organizations with long names which aim to promote German culture and German as a minority language, as well as the offices of Ryszard Galla, the representative of the German minority in Poland's parliament the Sejm.
After decades of tolerance since the fall of communism in Poland—a period when German-speakers were spied upon, their language forbidden in a forced assimilation process—things are getting harder for them once again. During a reporting trip to Poland, I spoke to many people in German to hear their side of the story.
The hard-right nationalist Polish Law and Justice Party (PiS)—a natalist, homophobic force which made abortion illegal and which has led the Polish government continually since 2015—announced in February that constitutionally guaranteed German language classes are being cut in German minority schools, going down from three hours a week to just one. Though this might sound like an innocuous change, it could have serious long term effects, and Poland's German minority fears the motives driving this and what it could lead to.

"It's a clear discrimination against the German minority. I never even dreamed that something like this could happen," said Agnieszka Kała, a German teacher in a local primary school that is threatened with closure if these budget cuts are implemented. "It would be very difficult to undo. It won't be worth it for the teachers, just teaching one hour a week. In this region there are a lot of German businesses, and the economy sucks up everything German. The teachers wouldn't come back."
"It really is very bad. Thousands of school children will be affected" adds Barbara Loch, a teacher at a bilingual school.
Kała's school has faced these existential crises before and was threatened with closure in 2005 when the local government wanted to cut funding, but the village set up an association to fund it. These voluntary associations (Vereine) are common in Germany and among the German minority here. In her village, most people have German roots, but don't speak German. "We had to start everything from scratch after the fall of communism," she says. Many of the parents are effectively learning German from their kids. They too, will be impacted.
"It's unacceptable that in a democratic country an ethnic minority would be targeted like this. A small war is being waged, and war doesn't lead to anything good, with small children as victims. But democracy in Poland is quite shaky," Kała adds. This might sound ironic or even exaggerated given Germany's history with ethnic minorities and war in the region, but the KWRiMNiE council representing Poland's minorities (including Poles of Tartar Muslim, Jewish, Ukrainian, and Russian backgrounds among others) agree that this step is discriminatory, and 14 of its 20 sitting representatives have suspended co-operation with the government in solidarity with the Germans.
"It is difficult to imagine in a democratic state ruled by law that the teaching of one minority would follow different rules than that of other minorities," they wrote in a statement. "This leads to discrimination on the basis of nationality."
Muffled criticism has also come from across the Oder-Niessen border, with Germany's opposition the CDU/CSU calling the move "clear and unacceptable discrimination". They have asked the federal government to investigate if it goes against the terms of a 1991 Good Neighbourship treaty between the two countries protecting minority rights.
For their part, Poland's PiS accuse Germany of reneging on the terms of the treaty by not providing enough support for the Polish language for Germany's two million Polish residents. PiS claim that they will use half of the funding from educational cuts to support Polish language classes in Germany and set up an educational foundation called the Kolbe Institute to promote Polish culture internationally, similar to Germany's Goethe Institute or China's Confucius Institute.
Przemysław Czarnek, the Polish Education minister who is implementing these policies, is at the same time trying to implement a new—and nationalist—curriculum, which removes the so-called "pedagogy of shame" that talks of Polish antisemitism during the Holocaust and admits that some Poles collaborated with the Nazi occupiers. Czarnek prefers to promote a "pedagogy of pride" which emphasizes the number of Poles who helped Jews, risking their lives to do so, as well as those who heroically resisted the Nazis. This follows the government's criminalization of the phrases "Polish concentration camps" and "Polish death camps"; it points out that the concentration camps were run by Germans in German-occupied Poland, and so Poles shouldn't be blamed for them.
But while German cultural organizations in Poland do sometimes take part in these controversial historical debates, much of the work of NGOs like Lernraum.pl and the House of German-Polish Cooperation, both based in Opole is more innocent. It comes in the form of producing bilingual magazines and regional board games to teach children German, or hosting workshops on the teachings of Medieval nun Saint Hildegard and flower arrangement according to the Austrian herbalist Maria Treben. Many of these projects have also had budget cuts, with funding from the German government also being reduced in the wake of the pandemic.

There is more to German-Polish history in Silesia than World War II and the partition of Poland. Various towns in the region had ping-ponged between Polish and Prussian hands as empires rose and fell. The region is an example of entangled history, where areas moved between control under different governments, but often the people and cultures present have remained the same. Stories are told of Schönwald (now Bojków), a Silesian village near Gliwice where they spoke a distinctive Frankonian dialect of German, with settlers said to have come over as far back as the 13th century. When the Red Army arrived, they massacred the inhabitants and sent many of the survivors to internment camps in Russia.
101 years ago, in the wake of World War I and the re-emergence of Poland as a state under the mustachioed social democrat strongman Marshal Piłsudski, Upper Silesia had a vote. Mandated by the treaty of Versailles, a plebiscite allowed the people of this borderland to vote for which country they wanted to be a part of. Overall, the results went about 60/40 to Germany, with 95% of the voters in Opole voting for Germany. Die Heimat gerettet wrote the Oppelner Nachrichten newspaper at the time: "the homeland is saved."
This plebiscite was preceded by two uprisings of local Poles, and in its aftermath came yet another: the great Silesian uprising. Germany had just been demilitarized at Versailles, so the Freikorps came to fight against the Poles. These were the same nationalist militias that had recently killed socialists Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. After two months of skirmishes in a conflict that pit family members against each other, the League of Nations forced a ceasefire and divided up Upper Silesia, with Germany taking the lion's share but Poland receiving much of the valuable industrial triangle of what is now Katowice, Gliwice, and Bytom. The legacy of these uprisings is still divisive: for PiS, they were early Polish freedom fighters who were commemorated last year with a monument, but the German minority find that commemorating only one side further alienates the Germans. The Mayor of Opole further inflamed tensions by claiming that any monument to German fighters, even those defending then-German towns in Silesia during World War I, would be like remembering the Nazi Wehrmacht, who attacked Poland in World War II.
In a country that suffered horrendously from the Nazis, and which before was divided between two Germanic empires and Russia for 123 years, it is not hard to imagine that anti-German sentiment is both deeply rooted and a potential vote-winner. PiS are happy to jump on this, and have relished their role as the champions of Europe since Russia attacked Ukraine. Though conflicts between the European Union and Poland on issues of rule-of-law and the environment are long-running, one thing I learned in my time in Poland on a journalism fellowship was that PiS rarely bash "Brussels," the capital of the EU, as they do in my native England. Their rhetorical target is always Berlin.
Michał Matheja, 56, a historian at the Research Center of the German Minority, can recite the results of the Silesian plebiscite county-by-county. He speaks German fluently, but with a noticeable Polish accent. When he was a child he spent a lot of time with his grandfather, who often spoke German with friends who came to visit, but they didn't teach him Polish. "Back then people were really scared. You could be invited to the secret police for speaking German at home" he tells me after handing me two thick books about the persecution of German speakers under communism published by the Research Center. One tells the story of an old woman who, having lived in a German-speaking region all her life, was unable to learn Polish and kept speaking her mother tongue. She was summoned to the town hall, where she met the mayor, also an ethnic German. The mayor, however, had to summon an interpreter who diligently translated both ways. Not only was this mayor forbidden to speak German in office; he was forbidden to understand it too.
So the language was practically lost. "There were no German lessons in the primary schools at all—here in Upper Silesia it was forbidden" Michał says. He talks of Grenzvolk in Silesia, border people with a mixed identity, but in "reconquered" Poland the government of the time didn't see things this way, and pressured many remaining Germans into signing for Polish documents on spurious justifications. "They thought 'these are our people, they might just be confused and need a bit of help understanding it.'" Michał sees a direct line from this forced post-war Polonisation to today's school cuts. The better the German minority can speak their own language, the harder it is for Poland's nationalist government to erase their identity. "And there are still these anti-German resentments, especially in the east, and you can simply get more votes through this. Some politicians are just being cynical while others believe it themselves, and would like that there was no German minority in Poland."~

4th and a Mile With Paul Muth
How Korean baseball came to save me. Again.
Paul Muth
Korean Baseball is a welcome sight for sports fans. Photo by Paul Muth.
On Monday ESPN announced that they would begin broadcasting games from the Korean Baseball Organization. With COVID-19 under greater control in the country, it was deemed okay for baseball to begin without fans. For the sports deprived fan worldwide, this became a welcome, if not unexpected reprieve.
This, however, was not the first time the KBO saved me.
So no joke there I was, 7000 miles away from Houston in The Land of the Morning Calm. I was six months into my one year of being stationed in Seoul, South Korea when I decided I wanted to go branch out into the local sports culture.
I explained to my Korean soldier roommate that I was interested in seeing a local soccer game, blindly assuming that because I wasn't in America that everyone would be really big into it.
"Do not go to football," he instructed.
"You will fall asleep."
Oh. Well then.
"I guess in that case, I was also kind of interested in checking out a Korean baseball game?" I acquiesced.
"YOU WILL LOVE KOREAN BASEBALL," he declared.
My interest was piqued. It was spring of 2011 and I hadn't seen an Astros game since the summer of 2009. I was overdue.
"Ok. Sell me"
"The tickets are cheap, and you can bring your own beer," he explained.
"SOLD. Who's your favorite team?" I asked.
"The LG Twins."
"And their rival?"
"The Doosan Bears."
That was the moment I became a Doosan Bears fan.
Soldiers are obnoxiously notorious homebodies for the most part, so finding someone willing to make this maiden journey and take the subway with me across town on a weeknight to go check out this suddenly intriguing event was no easy task. When my buddy Ricky agreed to go, we were off.
We stopped at a convenience store and bought one liter bottles of Powerade, dumped a quarter of it out and refilled it with Korea's devilishly sneaky native liquor known as soju (think a 30-proof vodka. Doesn't seem like much, but she creeps up on ya). Even with the full go ahead from my roommate to bring in booze, our American stadium-going brains just couldn't process the idea of walking it in without sneaking it or making it at least somewhat inconspicuous.
From there we hopped on the subway and made the hour long ride across the Han River to Jamsil Stadium, whose stopping point on the rail was cleverly identified as "Baseball Stadium."

We exited the subway, and soon approached another convenience store at the foot of the staircase leading up to the stadium. As we continued discretely drinking in public, we watched and witnessed as groups of obviously well seasoned college-aged Korean fans instinctively headed straight to the store from the subway car. As six pack after six pack of Cass beer (essentially Korea's Bud Light) were scanned, they were immediately dumped into previously empty backpacks. These guys knew what they were doing, and my roommate was very obviously telling the truth. You can literally bring whatever you want into these games.

The next step was to actually get some tickets. We waited in line and found row 5 field level seats along the first base line for a whopping 12,000 won. I'll save you the math; it was about $11 each.
Heading into the stadium itself we weren't exactly greeted with peanuts and cracker jacks as we had been raised on at the ball park. Instead, we were offered an enticing spread of dried squid jerky and fish cakes.
You know, normal baseball treats. Photo by Paul Muth.
Suffice it to say, we passed on the concessions and headed to our seats.
The stadium was by no means packed out for the weeknight game, but those who were there made their presence felt. Led by a male MC and five cheerleaders of sorts, the entire crowd joined in in unison, performing chant after chant as raucously as possible. It was a baseball game with a crowd that was simultaneously reminiscent of something you would hear during a Premiere League match. We had no idea what they were saying, but the environment and the energy was incredible.

To be honest, I couldn't tell you who won the game that night. I was too drunk off of soju and euphoria to even care. My roommate had vastly undersold the product he had introduced me to, partly because he didn't know what he was selling. I was hooked, and would continue going to games for the rest of the summer.
Much like it was nine years before, Korean Baseball -- as foreign and odd as it may seem -- represents today that shockingly scarce feeling of normalcy that has practically evacuated our lives. Back then I didn't care who the players were, or what their record was. I was content just being in a stadium, hearing a crack of the bat, and spending time with friends in the muggy spring and summer nights. Those three or four hours every other week or so were the closest I could get to a home that was on the other side of the planet.
That's what it continues to do. In two days of play, friendly wagers have already been made. My friend and I somewhat satirically created a Facebook group for ourselves and our fellow baseball starved degenerate friends (aptly named KBO (baseball starved) DIEHARDS). Team allegiances have been formed, and trash talking has commenced. It's a familiar attempt at finding that same sense of normalcy I had been trying to find once before.
So lean into it. Even if it seems weird, just let yourself be a fan again. Give yourself the opportunity to escape everything going on. Get your friends in on it. Names and stats and scores be damned. Sports are an escape, and for the first time in what seems like an eternity, if we allow ourselves to give something all too familiar -- and yet equally alien -- a shot...we might find just that once more.
Go Bears.

If a state board that regulates dietitians issues a cease and desist order against a person who is not a registered dietitian but who is practicing as one, is the issuance of the cease and desist order reportable to the NPDB?
Yes. In this example, the state regulates the practice of dietetics and prohibits individuals from practicing as dietitians — even if they do not refer to themselves as dietitians, licensed dietitians, or registered dietitians — without being licensed by the board. NPDB regulations require the reporting not only of individuals who are licensed, but also those who hold themselves out to be so licensed. Therefore, the cease and desist order issued by the board would be reportable.

Besides creating an impression that India is the disaster capital of the world, or what news TV would call a permanent Ground Zero, creation of these new forces, structures and purely relief oriented activity make some unsound presumptions.
