Having a few basic "on the go" necessities readily available in your car can make life that much easier when you're commuting back and forth from college. Even if you live on campus, having these items in your car can be a lifesaver if you're ever in a bind on the road.
When it comes time for a hot date, a spontaneous weekend road trip, or a run to the local coffee shop for a late-night study session, it's easy to run out the door without a care in the world—until you find yourself in trouble on the road somewhere. That's when you find yourself wishing you had things readily available in your car to use during an emergency. Because of this, we've put together a helpful list of five items students should keep in their car at all times.
Let's face it—we don't go anywhere these days without our cellphones. If you're not actively using it, it's generally tucked in your pocket or tossed in a purse. Unfortunately, your phone's battery is no match for the amount of daily use it sees. It's always a good idea to keep a spare phone charger in your car so you can charge your phone as needed. It's an even better idea to opt for a phone charger that has multiple USB ports—this way you can keep multiple electronics charged.
The last thing you want is to be out on the road late at night and have your phone die with no way to charge it. While cellphones are great for scrolling the internet, posting on apps, and calling friends, they're also beneficial if you end up having mechanical issues with your car. You need to have a way to safely contact someone for help without having to travel a dark road on foot to find help.
How often do you inspect your car's spare tire? Do you know if your car even has a spare in it? This is important to take care of sooner rather than later. Along with the spare tire, you should also keep a car jack and jumper cables somewhere in your car. Prepare for mishaps like this ahead of time so you aren't kicking yourself if you ever end up with a flat tire or a battery that won't start.
Don't forget, if you do have to use your spare tire, certain driving conditions apply. They aren't designed to be used as a permanent replacement but more of a temporary fix.
This might seem like no big deal, but imagine you've finally worked up the courage to ask your crush out on a date. You spend time picking out the perfect outfit, fixing your hair just right, dressing to impress, and making sure you smell good. Then you hop in your car to pick your crush up and the smell of yesterday's gym clothes hits your nose.
Immediate panic, right? Your car needs to leave a pleasant first impression on your date, not an impression that makes him or her gag immediately. If you keep an air freshener in your vehicle at all times, it can prevent this embarrassment from happening.
We all know how unpredictable the weather can be. The day can be sunny when you start your travels then turn into an unexpected thunderstorm along the way. Running to and from class, work, or the cafeteria turns into an obstacle when you're unprepared for rain. Go ahead and toss an umbrella or poncho in your car now so you're prepared for any unexpected changes in weather.
You never want to leave big money in your car, but an extra $5 or $10 isn't a bad idea. Keep some loose quarters in your car as well. If you need to put air in a tire or water in your radiator, you'll be glad you have the change ready. Just make sure to hide your emergency money somewhere out of sight. Don't store it in a place where the money is visible to passersby through your car window.

One in every nine patients who go into hospital in Australia suffers a complication: when something preventable goes wrong with their care. They might develop an infection from a hygiene breach, for instance, or be given the wrong dose or type of drug.
Or the complication might be less direct, such as becoming malnourished because you haven't been monitored well enough, or developing a pressure sore because you've spent too long in the same position in your hospital bed.
A new Grattan Institute report, All complications should count: Using our data to make hospitals safer, reveals the risk of a complication varies markedly between hospitals. It argues that patients need to know about these risks, and hospitals need to have this information to help them reduce risks for patients.
Australian hospitals collect a lot of information about the patients they treat. This information is used to work out how much each hospital is paid for the work they do. But it should also be a powerful tool for improving safety of care.
Our report shows that the rate of complications for people admitted for a same-day treatment is very low, around 3%. But an astounding one in four patients who have an overnight stay endures a complication.
The rate of complications varies markedly between hospitals. We have data on every complication and every hospital, although the hospitals are de-identified. The potential value of this data is illustrated by the graph below, which looks at just one procedure – knee replacements – at three hospitals.
It shows Hospital A is a uniformly good hospital to go to for a knee replacement, and Hospital C is uniformly bad. At Hospital B, patients over 75 face twice the excess risk of a complication than patients between the ages of 50 and 74.
This isn't all simply luck of the draw. Hospital A is obviously doing things better. Hospitals B and C may be lacking specialist geriatric support for elderly patients. The other hospitals should learn from Hospital A about how to lift their game.
Yet most Australian hospitals don't receive this sort of detailed comparative information, so they cannot compare themselves to their peers and learn from the better performers.
These huge variations in complication rates are important. More complications means more pain and discomfort for patients. Higher complication rates mean longer hospital stays, which in turn mean higher costs for the health system. Higher complication rates contribute to higher health insurance premiums, too.
Patients should have information about their chances of complications. They should know what their risk is, taking into account their age, gender and general state of health. They should also know what types of risks they face, from the rare but catastrophic to the less dramatic but more prevalent.
State governments and private health insurers have this information now. They should share it. They should publish information on complication rates at different hospitals, so that patients – and their referring general practitioners – can know what difference it makes, in terms of complications, going to one hospital compared to another.
This vital comparative complication rate information is generally not even provided to hospitals themselves. Although some states and some private health insurers have feedback programs – where they provide information adjusted for the mix of patients treated in the hospital – such programs are not universal, they are not comprehensive, and the data is often old.
This means hospitals are flying blind when designing safety improvement efforts. They don't know how they are performing against their peers. They don't know whether they are the best in class or the worst. They don't know where they need to improve, or by how much they should improve. They don't know how they measure up in terms of infection rates among their patients, or falls, or complications arising from procedures.
Worse, current government priorities encourage hospitals to focus on a subset of complications which only affect a fraction of patients and aren't relevant to all specialties. This may lull hospitals into a false sense of security that they have no room to improve when in fact their overall performance – looking at all complications – may be very poor indeed.
major private health insurers provide their members with comparative information on complication rates.
All these proposals could be implemented tomorrow. For the sake of Australian taxpayers and hospital patients, they should be.

Legal does not necessarily equal safe. Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines.
Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have not been updated in almost 20 years.
The best way to ensure clean tap water is to keep pollution out of source water in the first place.

Legal ≠ Safe
EWG Health Guidelines fill the gap in outdated government standards.
The federal government's legal limits are not health-protective. The EPA has not set a new tap water standard in almost 20 years, and some standards are more than 40 years old.

I'm a painter. Its what I do. Literally, I've been painting for 30 years, and 20 of that has been decorative and home painting plus my own artwork. So, when it comes to choosing color, I like ALL of them. It is super hard for me to choose just one and stick with it for any length of time. I already want to repaint the living room and dining room, and they've only been painted for 6-8 years the way they are. So, I can get my kicks by repainting smaller spaces and testing color palettes in confined quarters.
I repainted our downstairs bath last summer, and just now am finally telling you about it. It was a soft robin's egg blue. . . I thought it would be bright and clean looking. But, we have so much glorious woodwork in the house, that I needed to make it warm and rich to match the rest of the atmosphere. So, I chose a deep eggplant. The thing is, this isn't just paint, its a metallic plaster. It feels like velvet to the touch and is super easy to apply using a Venetian Plaster trowel. The downside is that small people can easily scratch it if they find it compulsive and interesting to touch. But, it isn't hard to repair and it is easy to paint over, too.
With the new wall color, I painted the ceiling to match the woodwork and put in a new mirror, also painted with copper undertones and charcoal gray. And lastly, new-ish towels and a side table for necessities.

We didn't expect to be doing the laundry room this summer. In fact, it was long down the line on projects due to the fact that it is so utilitarian, and we really needed to finish the deep cosmetic projects we've started. . . like the hallway, dining room, front porch and upstairs bath, maybe the patio too. But, when our washing machine passed away this early June, we knew it was time to do a quickie and put in a sink, along with painting, lighting and moving out the fridge.
The fridge was housed in part of the laundry room, as you can see from this side shot. It blocked the window and had lighting attached to the back. The hole in the bottom is due to a bored hound who was stuck in here one day. The fridge was sort of wedged into the corner, but really in the kitchen, with an odd sheetrock job around it. We tore it all out, much to the delight of our son and re-established that wall, along with electrical. Bill is putting in ceiling lights and freshening up the plumbing so we can add a small sink and counter. I could really use some cabinets and the whole room needed painting.
We had originally thought that putting in insulation would be ideal to keep the space warm because of pipes, but with little, time, we just went for it. I primed everything with two coats and then painted all walls, woodwork and floor in 2 days. Bill is going to put in a few shelves, rewire for ceiling lights and get the window in working order.
It has been a while. Life has been full and rich this past year. As Bill has started his new business, B2 Professional Coaching Services, I've taken on more painting work for Golden Paintworks, doing custom work, research and development in the commercial applications. Will finished Kindergarten in the spring and is starting first grade this week. We've been busy, and yet, we have still been working on the house. So there have been a few too many neglected posts. First, I wanted to catch you up on the Guest Room.
Finalized the guest room in the fall last year and had guests round the clock from September to December of 2016. We put up a sheetrock ceiling, because fixing a cracked ceiling every 2 years is too much work, even for us. Next, we smoothed out the walls with plaster, and taught Will how to do some of that work. I feel blessed that Bill can do the work and teach our son in the process.
After painting everything, wood work, ceiling, walls and even the floor, we put in a new ceiling fan, crown molding and furnished it. This furniture is from France; family friends brought it back to Missouri from Paris some years back for their daughter. When she couldn't use it, they offered it to us and we swept it up quickly. I can't imagine finding more perfect furniture for our house. I'm not sure of the year of these pieces, but the side table has a pee pot chamber, and the mirror has some fingerprints imbedded, which I love.
So, after a long writing hiatus, I'll post briefly to let you know that we've started on our guest room. It was my studio since we moved in, which I have adored. The light in this room is stellar, although it is the smallest bedroom. We've decided to make it the guest room, because it will be used the least and I could use more space for setting up long term painting projects. We have the perfect furniture for it that we purchased from family friends in Missouri a few summers ago — turn- of- the -century Parisan bed and armoire with a mirrored front.
Since it took us a few weeks to know where to start on the house, we did several things all at once. Removing the border and painting the closet in the small room was part of that. So, the room looked quite distressed for several years, before we finally took the whole thing apart this July.
We'll have several guests this coming fall, so we want to have the room in order in the next few weeks. As of now, we've been able to finish the walls and they are waiting for paint. Bill will put in crown moulding this coming weekend along with a new ceiling fan and electrical outlets. We'll debate on whether to refinish the floor right now or hold off till spring. Since we want to do it like our room, the oil finish takes about 6 weeks to cure well and we don't have that kind of time or weather.
I don't know what I'll use on staining or finishing the back porch, but I can say that I am halfway finished stripping it. I was hoping to be completely done at this point, but I have a small and rather busy young son. So, we keep our weekends open when we can and shoot out for pumpkin purchases or trips to the park.
The back porch is rather small, but one of my favorite places. We have a double rocker back there, and our yard is quiet and secluded. I sit out there and watch Will swim in the summers or just dig in the sand. Today he built a small house in our rock pile out there, and added all sorts of embellishments like duct tape and garden tools. It looked like a rural ghetto. But, I love that he is pretending.
I started by sanding the porch, and found that it is rather dusty. A heat gun got me nowhere, so now I'm on to using a citrus based stripper and doing okay. Going slowly, but thoroughly. Once I've finished, I don't know where I'll start with color, but I'm thinking of painting the ceiling blue, as old homes used to explore to match the sunny skies.
Bill is on to other projects like gutting an organ and planning a stone wall, and a extra shower downstairs. I'm lucky to have him, a man to work with and a great project partner.


Gratitude. Hwy 30-A Sea-grove Beach, FL.
I'm on vacation. It's the first time in a couple of years. It's been great to move slowly, eat, drink, relax and get re-acquainted with Shelean on a different level than we normally achieve during the everyday lives we live. In the 32 years I've been a professional trombone player in Nashville I've been through many stages of a career. Struggle to get it started, traveling the various learning curves in juggling work, parenting, partnering, politics in the business, riding the crest of waves of tons of work and the troughs of wondering if work would continue and trying in the midst of all of it to do a good job at this work and be a good player, partner and parent. Many times I've fallen short and other times I hope I've come close to doing a somewhat competent job. The session playing business is a challenge. As I age it becomes ever clearer to me that it's going to take a little more work to maintain chops, learn and keep up with technology. Four days at the beach has been excellent for relaxing, breathing deeply and working at perspective. (and chop maintenance.) I love what I do. I've been incredibly lucky most of my life in being in the right place at the right time and being lucky enough to work with so many incredible players, writers, arrangers and artists.
We've had lots of great food on this trip. We've been talking about our favorite meals over the years. Many involve great times with friends and family at our home. In thinking and talking about them I'm reminded of particular meals I've had in my travels. Once while in Corsica with Larry Carlton (after looking out of my hotel room window and realizing that Joe Zawinul was in the pool....quite a thrill for me...) several of us rented a car and drove around the island and just happened to come upon a family owned restaurant down by the sea where they had langastinos in a tank for you to choose from. An incredible meal and a day I'll never forget transpired. Many great meals in Japan prepared by the staff at the Blue Note Tokyo and Motion Blue in Yokohama. Incredible ramen at Ippudo in Fukuoka. Another great meal in Lisbon. Coffees. Espressos. Desserts. Ridiculous meals at restaurants in my neighborhood: Cafe Margo, Barista Parlor, Lockeland Table, Silly Goose and many others. This week we've had outstanding meals at local catch, paradis, la cocina, great southern and a fantastic desert at la crema. We also were lucky enough to hook up with old friends Joe and Mary Murphy while we were here. Tomorrow we're heading to Asheville, Boone and then back home by way of Center Hill Lake. I'm sure more culinary adventures will be had as well as some cool brewpub visits.
As I begin to head into the twilight of my career I'm filled with gratitude. I'm grateful for all the folks who have been kind enough to employ me. The other players that have been patient in dealing with me. A wife and family who encouraged me to follow this dream even when it wasn't convenient or easy. An enormous community of great friends. I'm also looking ahead to more great musical adventures. Life is extraordinary. I'm savoring the moment. Gratefully.
Wanted to send out a hearty thanks to my friend Hans Nelson for putting my website together. You can reach Hans @ nelsonwerks@gmail.com. He's a great keyboard player, mac technician and web guru.
Many more things coming to this site in the near future!

Former Sacramento Kings Executive Sentenced to 7 Years in Prison for Multimillion Dollar Fraud Scheme
Sacramento, California - Jeffrey R. David, 44, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge William B. Shubb to seven years in prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced.
David is scheduled to surrender for service of his sentence on August 20th.
U.S. Attorney Scott stated: "David used his high-ranking position with the Sacramento Kings to deceive businesses across the country into sending him millions of dollars. The brazen scheme involved forgeries, stolen corporate executive identities, money laundering, and even instructing a former colleague to destroy evidence. Thanks to the fast actions of the Kings organization, the FBI, and attorneys in this office, the fraud did not result in the permanent deprivation of the $13.4 million that David intended to steal from his victims, as that money was recovered through timely government seizures and forfeitures. Today's sentence should deter others from committing substantial frauds such as this one."
"Mr. David violated the trust of his employer and clients, siphoning millions from agreements to fund purchases he could not otherwise afford. Asset forfeiture of real estate purchased with the misappropriated funds was able to restore the losses the organization suffered as a result of Mr. David's crimes but trust is much more difficult to repair," said Special Agent in Charge Sean Ragan of the FBI Sacramento Field Office. "This case exemplifies the FBI's commitment to investigating large-scale financial fraud to ensure the integrity of financial transactions and ensure that those who commit greed-fueled financial crime face justice."
According to court documents, David served as the Chief Revenue Officer for the Sacramento Kings, a professional sports franchise. As part of his duties, he negotiated sponsorship and other marketing agreements with companies in California and elsewhere. From October 2012 through July 2016, David used this position to defraud these companies by representing to them that payments they made were going to the Kings, when in fact the payments were going to bank accounts under his sole control, held in the name of Sacramento Sports Partners LLC. The Kings did not know about these payments or this LLC at the time the payments were solicited and made. In total, David stole approximately $13.4 million from five companies in California and elsewhere.
In particular, David took advantage of the King's opening of a new stadium by amending, without the franchise's knowledge, two major sponsorship agreements from the Golden 1 Credit Union and Kaiser Permanente, a nonprofit health care plan, so that $9 million and $4.4 million wires from these entities went to accounts controlled by David, rather than the Kings. In order to accomplish this fraud, David forged the signatures of various individuals, including the then-president of the Kings, the president and chief executive officer of the Golden 1, and an executive at Kaiser Permanente.
David used the fraud proceeds to purchase and remodel real estate in Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach, in Southern California. He also spent the fraud proceeds on various personal expenses, including checks to family members, a private jet membership, and substantial credit card bills. The United States moved to forfeit and seize these properties and other assets held by David, and the professional sports franchise has received over $13.2 million in restitution to date.
This case was the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael D. Anderson, Matthew M. Yelovich, and Kevin C. Khasigian are prosecuting the case.

As real addicts in every sense, many of us engaged in pretend quitting games. I certainly did. It allowed me the piece of mind that I was working on the problem, that it was simply a matter of time, that someday I'd discover the key to success.
Like the recovering alcoholic's hidden bottle, clear and convincing evidence of gamesmanship includes keeping nicotine handy after stopping.
The rationalizing addict has a number of available justifications. We could pretend that we forgot about our stash, that it wasn't a stash but simply an oversight, or it was our emergency backup, just in case the moment became to big to handle. We could also play power games, that we needed to keep nicotine available in order to prove that we were stronger than our addiction and in full control.
The "stronger" tactic makes as much sense as someone on suicide watch carrying a loaded gun, while fighting the urge to pull the trigger. Some insist on carrying their nicotine with them, while others knowingly keep delivery within quick and easy reach.
We will never be stronger than nicotine. Brains over bronze, we don't need to be. Our #1 weapon has always been our intelligence but only if put to work.
Feeling a need to tempt and toy with dependency rooted impulsiveness, in order to claim victory over it, is rooted in a natural desire to at last prevail over years and years of yearnings endured by a chemically dependent mind.
But with moments of significant stress a normal part of life, it's a formula for failure. Why treat quick access to nicotine as though a life jacket? It's a jacket, but more like a straightjacket that restrains and enslaves, not saves.
The smart move is to destroy all remaining nicotine. Whether in the pocket of a coat hanging in a closet, in a drawer, your other purse, hidden in the yard, on the balcony, in the garage, in a vehicle, under a seat, or at work, destroy it. And don't forget to empty the ashtrays too.
Keeping nicotine delivery handy is contrary to learning to live without it. Isn't it time to give "serious" a try? Check for cigarettes or a tin that may have fallen under furniture, beneath a cushion or under a car seat.
Throw out all old nicotine replacement products (gums, patches, lozenges, spray and inhaler), all pipes, pipe cleaners, roll-your-own supplies and equipment, all papers, pen type e-cigs, tanks, mods, extra juice, coils or chargers, and any smokeless tobacco, spittoons, any cigars and that oh so special Cuban cigar cutter too.
Getting rid of all nicotine may buy you precious seconds during challenging moments. With cue triggered crave episodes peaking within three minutes, a few seconds of delay may be all that's needed to begin sensing anxieties peak and then start easing off.
"Don't ever forget how cigarettes once controlled your behaviors and beliefs," reminds Joel. "When you stopped smoking you admitted cigarettes controlled you. You were literally afraid that one puff could put you back. That was not an irrational fear. One puff today will lead to the same tragic results as it would have the day you quit."
"Cigarettes were stronger than you before, and, if given the chance, will be stronger than you again, warns Joel. "If you want to show you are now in control, do it by admitting you can function without having cigarettes as a worthless and dangerous crutch."
You'll do just fine, even if your employment requires you to be near or handle nicotine products, or if you live with someone who insists upon leaving their cigarettes, e-cigs, cigars, dip, chew or NRT lying around. It simply means that you'll extinguish those use cues quicker than most.
Mind games involving conscious temptation are very much within our ability to control. Be smart. Don't just break remaining cigarettes in two, as being done by the woman in the above photo. Crush, throw-out or flush all remaining nicotine beyond your ability to straighten, repair, tape, filter, scoop up, or otherwise reclaim it.
Doing so is a way of proclaiming that this time is different, that the time for games is over, that at last I'm serious about coming home and seeing what it's like to experience the real me!

Bernhard Lang (* 24. Februar 1957 in Linz) ist ein österreichischer Komponist, Improvisator und Programmierer musikalischer Patches und Applikationen. Er arbeitet im Bereich der modernen zeitgenössischen Musik.

Biographie
Bernhard Lang studierte in den Jahren von 1972 bis 1975 Musik am Brucknerkonservatorium in Linz. Im Jahr 1975 zog er nach Graz und studierte Philosophie und Germanistik, Jazztheorie (Dieter Glawischnig), Klavier (Harry Neuwirth), Kontrapunkt (Hermann Markus Preßl), Harmonielehre und Komposition (Andrzej Dobrowolski). Während dieser Zeit (1977 bis 1981) arbeitete er mit diversen Jazzgruppen als Komponist, Arrangeur und Pianist. Am IEM in Graz begann auch seine Auseinandersetzung mit Elektronischer Musik und Computertechnologie. 1984–89 arbeitete er als Lehrbeauftragter am Landeskonservatorium Graz, studierte aber weiter bei Georg Friedrich Haas und Gösta Neuwirth. Im Jahr 1987 gründete er zusammen mit Gerhard Präsent und Jörg-Martin Willnauer die Komponistenvereinigung "die andere saite". Er entwickelte gemeinsam mit Winfried Ritsch die Software CADMUS in C++ (Entwicklungsumgebung für computergestützte Komposition). Im Jahr 1989 begann seine Lehrtätigkeit an der Grazer Musikhochschule. Im Jahr 1999 zog er als freischaffender Komponist nach Wien.
 Seit 2003: a.o.Professur für Komposition an der Kunstuniversität Graz
 Seit 2003: intensive Beschäftigung mit Tanz, Zusammenarbeit mit Xavier Le Roy, Willi Dorner, Christine Gaigg
 2004/05: Stipendiat des Internationalen Künstlerhauses Villa Concordia in Bamberg
 2007: Arbeitsaufenthalt im Künstleratelier, Thomas Bernhard Archiv, Gmunden

 2008/09: Capell-Compositeur der Sächsischen Staatskapelle Dresden
 2013: Gastdozent für Komposition in Luzern
 2014: Mentorenprojekt in Potsdam

Stil und künstlerische Bewertung
Langs Musik zieht ihre Anregungen aus den unterschiedlichsten Genres: Europäische Avantgarde des 20. Jahrhunderts, historische Europäische Kunstmusik, Jazz, Free Jazz, Rock, Punk, Techno, EDM (Elektronische Tanzmusik), Electronica, Elektronische Musik und Computergenerierte Musik. Seine Werke reichen von Solostücken und kleinen Kammermusikbesetzungen über Chorwerke bis hin zu großen Ensemblestücken, Orchester- und Musiktheaterwerken. Daneben komponierte Lang Musik für Theater, Tanz, Film und Klanginstallationen.

Bernhard Lang erlangte Bekanntheit durch die Beschäftigung mit dem Phänomen der "Wiederholung", im Werkzyklus "Differenz/ Wiederholung", basierend auf der philosophischen Arbeit Gilles Deleuzes, wobei er die reproduzierende und DJ-Kultur beleuchtet und hinterfragt. Soziokulturelle und gesellschaftskritische Fragen ("Das Theater der Wiederholungen", 2003) werden dabei ebenso berührt wie dem Musizieren und der Musikkultur innewohnende Probleme ("I hate Mozart", 2006). Ein weiteres Betätigungsfeld ist das "Recyclen" historischer Musiken, die Lang im Rahmen des Werkzyklus Monadologie mittels computergenerierter Verfahren Filter- und Mutationsprozessen unterzieht.

Sein Instrumentarium umfasst neben dem Ensemble klassischer europäischer Instrumente deren verstärkte und elektrifizierte Pendants (z. B. elektrische Viola) sowie gegeneinander mikrotonal verstimmte Ensemblegruppen. Lang setzt analoge und digitale Synthesizer, Keyboards und Rock-Instrumente ein (E-Gitarre, E-Bass, Drumset), Plattenspieler (als wegweisende Geräte der Reproduktionskultur), Rapper, arabische Sänger, Sprecher und Live-Elektronik (vorwiegend der selbst programmierte "Loop-Generator").

In the morning, it was steamy and hot, very unexpected, at least by me, unlike both tourists and locals. Almost everyone else had on shorts and many were heading to the beach. We wanted to wander the town and I wanted to find out if there would be anything interesting in a beach town to photograph. It turned out there was plenty. Faro has an historic old town that is well-preserved if somewhat over-touristed. The locals appeared to live, or at least congregate, away from the beach and the old town. There were plenty of streets to wander in the old town. I even found something that brought up questions about what happened the night before.
A local tattoo parlor had terrific art on the wall outside with plenty of graffiti on an adjacent wall. Although Portugal has plenty of graffiti, the taggers don't usually touch art or existing signs, just create new work on empty walls.
While much of Portugal (and Spain) identifies as Catholic, there doesn't seem to be much church attendance on Sundays. However, perhaps as a legacy of days past, there are plenty of signs of the religion everywhere, churches, crosses, even occasional saints.

Patients with Hereditary Sensory & Autonomic Neuropathy type III (HSAN III) exhibit marked gait disturbances. The cause of the gait ataxia is not known, but we recently showed that functional muscle spindle afferents in the leg, recorded via intraneural microelectrodes inserted into the peroneal nerve, are absent in HSAN III, although large-diameter cutaneous afferents are intact (1). Moreover, there is a tight correlation between loss of proprioceptive acuity at the knee and the severity of gait impairment (2). Here we tested the hypothesis that manual motor performance is also compromised in HSAN III, attributed to the predicted absence of muscle spindles in the intrinsic muscles of the hand. Manual performance in the Purdue pegboard task was assessed in 12 individuals with HSAN III and 12 age-matched healthy controls. The mean (+/-SD) pegboard score (number of pins inserted in 30 s) was 8.1+/-1.9 and 8.6+/-1.8 for the left and right hand respectively, significantly lower than the scores for the controls (14.3+/-2.9 and 15.5+/-2.0; p<0.0001). In five patients we inserted a tungsten microelectrode into the ulnar nerve at the wrist. No spontaneous or stretch-evoked muscle afferent activity could be identified in any of the 11 fascicles supplying intrinsic muscles of the hand, whereas rich tactile afferent activity could be recorded from 4 cutaneous fascicles. We conclude that functional muscle spindles are absent in the hand, and likely absent in the long finger flexors and extensors, and that this largely accounts for the poor manual motor performance in HSAN III.

OIC's Peace, Dialogue Meeting Held in Jakarta

Jakarta, MINA – The Working Group of Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for Peace and Dialogue held its first meeting in Jakarta on 29-30 July 2019.
The meeting succeeded in drafting a Joint Action Plan for Peace and Dialogue which was attended by 15 representatives of OIC countries at the level of senior officials and Permanent Representatives.
The Deputy Indonesian Minister of Foreign Affairs, A. M. Fachir, when opening the event stressed the importance of unity and joint efforts of the OIC countries to promote peace and dialogue to create a better world condition.
"There is no room for differences in understanding Islamophobia and acts of discrimination against fellow Muslims," the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs said in his opening remarks, according to a press release from Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday, July 31.
The Deputy Foreign Minister encouraged the OIC Working Group to prepare the basics of the joint action plan to have a joint strategy in dealing with disputes between religious groups.
He also stressed that the OIC must always be a part of the solution to the problems that emerge in the world today while asking the OIC countries to conduct constructive dialogue and use peaceful ways to solve problems.
Documents for action plans for peace and subsequent dialogue will be brought to the OIC Ministerial Meeting in September 2019 in New York, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The next meeting in New York is expected to ratify the action plan document.
The OIC Deputy Secretary-General for Political Relations, Yousef M. AlDobeay, who chaired the meeting, expressed his appreciation for Indonesia's leading role in encouraging the creation of the OIC Working Group on Peace and Dialogue and hosted the first meeting of the working group.
The action plan document includes, among other things, the aims and forms of activities that can be carried out by OIC member countries to promote peace and dialogue in the form of education, seminars, joint studies, and cooperation plans with a number of UN Agencies and regional organizations.
The OIC working group meeting for Peace and Dialogue is a mandate from the results of 46th OIC Foreign Minister's meeting which took place in Abu Dhabi last March. (T/Sj/P2)

Did you know: That taking the air out of your soccer ball and let it sit on a heater (only ones that can be covered) for an hour, then massage it a bit using your hands. Use a drop of ball oil at the tip of your pump before you pump it back up. Will give new life to your ball. Try to avoid too much frost – or give it an hour on the heater if its been there for more than a few hours. The inside of the ball is organic material and react to weather.
