 Kisa Uradomo, who graduated from King Kekaulike High last week, is going on a whirlwind musical adventure before starting college in the fall.
The violinist from Kula was selected to play in the prestigious National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA), the only student from Hawaii selected for the 114-member orchestra, and only the second musician from Hawaii ever selected. The program belongs to the education arm of Carnegie Hall.
NYO-USA will perform nine concerts in the U.S. and abroad from July 10-26, visiting many of China's greatest concerts halls in several different regions of the country, including the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing.
"I honestly didn't think I was going to get in since I'm from such a small little island and competing against people who don't have to take (web video) lessons, and have teachers with them all the time and going to camps even before middle school," Uradomo told the Maui News.
Uradomo said she was challenged in finding teachers who could help her grow, and she relied on "a lot of self-directed learning" via Skype and trips to Oahu and the Mainland.
The NYO-USA players will arrive in New York in late June to begin an intensive two-week training residency on the campus of Purchase College, State University of New York, working with principal players from some of the country's finest professional orchestras. James Ross, director of orchestral activities at the University of Maryland, returns this summer to lead the NYO-USA faculty for a third year. The faculty will oversee rehearsals during the orchestra's residency in Purchase and will conduct master classes, chamber music readings, and other seminars on essential music skills, all leading up to the launch of the China tour.
The 2015 tour will kick off at the Performing Arts Center in Purchase, NY (July 10), followed by Carnegie Hall in New York City (July 11), a performance to be heard by music lovers worldwide via the Carnegie Hall Live broadcast and digital series, created in partnership with WQXR and distributed nationally by WFMT Radio Network. The tour then moves to China:
July 10 Purchase, NY Performing Arts Center, Purchase College, State University of New York
July 11 New York, NY Carnegie Hall, Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
July 15 Beijing National Centre for the Performing Arts
July 17 Shanghai Shanghai Oriental Art Center
July 19 Suzhou Suzhou Cultural and Arts Centre
July 21 Xi'an Xi'an Concert Hall
July 23 Shenzhen Shenzhen Concert Hall
July 24 Guangzhou Xinghai Concert Hall
July 26 Hong Kong Hong Kong Cultural Centre
Uradomo will attend Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester in the fall on a partial scholarship. She hopes to return home to Maui after school to teach violin.

Floris has traded from the same address on 89 Jermyn Street in St James's since 1730. From the beginning, Juan Famenias Floris and his wife sold not only perfume but also shaving products and combs – and indeed the company received its first Royal Warrant in 1820 as 'Smooth Pointed Comb Maker' to King George IV.
With such a rich history (their incredible archives include letters and orders from Florence Nightingale, Marilyn Monroe and Winston Churchill), it would be easy to simply dwell in the past. But Floris haven't survived for nearly 300 years by standing still: instead their unparalleled knowledge in the craft of bespoke fragrance making is used as the basis for a thriving, modern business which marries tradition with the most up to date production values and techniques.
A case in point is '1927', their latest eau de parfum from the Fragance Journals collection – a range of scents 'inspired by moments within London's social history', which recalls the opulence and elegance of the era but with a modern audience in mind. To launch the scent, Floris are holding a fragrance workshop on the evening of 10 May, led by perfumers Edward Bodenham and Nicola Pozzani.
Hole & Corner readers have the opportunity for a unique preview and to learn more about Floris as part of our St James's 'Walk and Talk', which begins at 1pm on 10 May – tickets are going fast; reserve your place here.

Pop Culture History From Ancient Times to Today

Jay Wertz
Drop the phrase "pop culture" into a conversation, and the people you're talking with will likely conjure images of Hula Hoops, Pet Rocks, Britney Spears or reality shows. Words like "vapid," "transient" and "shallow" may flash through their minds.
Despite its much-maligned image, popular culture, or "pop" culture as it is more commonly known, is a vital component in the story of humanity. For that reason, pop culture history warrants exploration. Besides, it's fun to talk about.
It doesn't cure diseases, topple nations or make technological advances—unless one considers things like Les Paul's development of multitrack music recording a technological advancement, which I, for one, do—but pop culture reveals many facets of human behavior throughout history. It is hard to define the human experience without it.
The Genesis of Popular Culture
Written scores gave musical creations wider audiences. (Library of Congress)
Sociologists consider culture as the formation of traditions and trends that link humans in a common group. Therefore, human culture existed even in prehistoric societies; however, those prehistoric societies' tradition and arts (things that are created, such as cave paintings and decorated pottery) are generally considered as folk art and folkways. Popular culture, by definition, requires that the masses—that's us, folks—be engaged in practicing and consuming it, thereby making it popular.
Three early, significant popular-culture mileposts are, in chronological order, wedding ceremonies, music performed from written scores, and the establishment of fashion styles.
Wedding ceremonies, predating even Biblical accounts, began traditions based on religious tenets and quickly became ingrained in society.
During the Renaissance composers began committing notes to paper and thus created the opportunity for music to be shared beyond first-person familiarity. For the first time, a piece of music could be performed by someone who had never heard it.
Fashion styles that took clothing beyond mere functionality were initially set by royalty and aristocracy, but societal changes like the emergence of the French bourgeois class and simple technological advances in clothing manufacture such as the sewing machine gave style a broader "popular" appeal. Thus, in a couple hundred years we went from tights and lace cuffs for European aristocracy to modern teenagers wearing their pants around their knees.
William Shakespeare. (Library of Congress)
Shakespeare the Superstar
The Western world's first pop culture "superstar" was probably William Shakespeare. His theater plays are timeless classics, but he wrote them for a mass audience, thus fulfilling pop culture's requirement of art that is meant to be enjoyed by the masses. Shakespeare's art bridged the gap between popular and fine art in 16th century England—and ever since, as it is among the finest literature ever produced in English. Several of his plays were set elsewhere in Europe, which exposed the common Englishman to wedding and courtship traditions of different classes and cultures, potentially influencing those of England.
Popular Culture Becomes Global
Popular culture didn't require satellite television and the Internet to become global. When the first explorers took to the seas or traveled overland routes to distant places, they were influenced by, and returned with, examples of other cultures' popular art, artifacts and customs, such as drinking coffee. If that hadn't caught on, Starbucks would be stuck trying to sell cups of hot, frothy milk for three bucks a pop.
The masses were usually not the first to experience exotic forms of popular culture, but they were exposed to them over time. The mixture of popular elements of different cultures was also one of the factors that began to blur the lines between popular and fine arts. While Kabuki Theater was accessible to all classes of Japanese people, Europe's aristocrats initially regarded it as high art.
The Age of Industrialization: Relax, Enjoy
In the case of popular arts especially (theater, dance, music and more recently movies and television), the masses must have sufficient time and resources to enjoy these arts. Technology is the catalyst that made this possible.
Even though many 19th-century industrial laborers worked long hours, they did not generally work the dawn-to-dusk, seven-day-a-week schedules of agrarian toilers—cows need milking even on the Sabbath—and industrial laborers had more money in their pockets. This enabled them to enjoy entertainment venues and engage in hobbies, crafts and recreation outside their work lives. Life became more than survival, family and religion. The concentration of people in urban areas, attracted by jobs in the factories, also gave rise to more and different kinds of popular art forms by concentrating potential audiences.
The sewing machine provided new fashions for everyone. (Currier and Ives, Library of Congress)
Technology and Pop Culture
Technology also created new kinds of arts and items and made them available to everyone, not just the wealthy elite. Obvious examples that changed society significantly enough to alter the course of history are radio, television, motion pictures, amplified music, computers and the Internet. Technology recently erected another significant milepost in the pop culture timeline—the development of tech-based social networking. Other technological advances resulted in such diverse things as silk-screen printing (Express your opinion on your T-shirt!), bowling alleys' automatic pinsetters, and Wii.

Q: Concatenation with 'in' keyword gives false results Can someone please explain why concatenating a string and a bool (as a result of using the 'in' keyword) will return a value of False, rather than giving a type error?
>>> var1 = "fish"

>>> var2 = "fi"

>>> print("True that " + var1 in var2) # str + bool returns False not TypeError
**False**

>>> print("True that ", var1 in var2) # str, bool works with comma method
True that  False

>>> print("True that " + var2 in var1) # str + bool returns False not TypeError
**False**

>>> print("True that ",var2 in var1) # stre , bool works with comma method
True that  True

>>> print(var2 in var1)
True

>>> type("True that ")
<class 'str'>

>>> type(var2 in var1)
<class 'bool'>

A: The + operator has a higher precedence than the in operator, so:
"True that " + var1 in var2

is effectively
("True that " + var1) in var2

which consequently returns False with var1 being 'fish' and var2 being 'fi'.
You would have to enclose var1 in var2 in parentheses if you want the + operator to raise TypeError:
"True that " + (var1 in var2)

A: You've got your precedence wrong. a + b in c is parsed as (a + b) in c, not as a + (b in c). There's no string+bool concatenation happening.

Universal Halloween Horror Nights Preview!
This week marks the start of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios theme parks. Sinful Celluloid was once again invited to come to an early preview with maze mastermind John Murdy, and all we can say is, prepare yourself for the best HHN yet! Every classic slasher horror icon is represented along with a couple of properties that will blow you away in their conception. If there were an All Star celebration for haunts, this would be it!
Making its Halloween Horror Nights debut this year is AMERICAN HORROR STORY. The anthology series proved to be a challenge but very rewarding. Rather than mash up every season into super short vignettes, Murdy and his team chose to focus on three, Murder House, Freak Show, and Hotel.
What can you look forward to? Hear (or read it rather) straight from the mouth of John Murdy:
"We're incorporating video into the facade for the first time. Imagery from the opening title sequences helps put it back in peoples minds. I like those opening title sequences so much that in some scenes, we were inspired to have characters based purely on the opening titles."
In keeping with interpretations from the show that aren't as obvious, there is a HUGE Easter egg for fans, the introduction of Jessica Lange's fourth child. Murphy explains…
"When I pitched the maze to Ryan Murphy back in February, and I told him I wanted to do some Easter eggs for the fans, he stopped me during my pitch and said, 'I've got an idea.' And if you go back and watch Murder House, you may remember how Jessica Lange mentions that she has four children, but you only meet three of them…"
Get ready, cause that mystery is solved…
"The fourth child was something that they had originally cast on AMERICAN HORROR STORY, and then eventually cut out the character because it didn't feel necessary, so it ended up on the editing room floor. Ryan said, though, that whenever he does a Q&A or a panel, it's always the first or second question he gets asked, 'What about the fourth child?' So Ryan thought it would be really cool to incorporate that into this maze. You will only get to see that character at Halloween Horror Nights."
Not wanting to give away the secrets of course, you can count on certain things. The Murder House will go through several time periods, you can count on an appearance by Twisty the clown as well as several oddities from Freakshow, and the exquisite and twisted decadence of Hotel.
At the end of our AHS tour, we discussed some of the other mazes and immediately, THE EXORCIST became the popular topic.Murdy explained the challenges of bring the Exorcist to life.
"I chased the rights to The Exorcist ever since I began doing Horror Nights ten years ago…So I had a moment of panic going into The Exorcist, because even though I finally got to do it, it's also the hardest movie I've ever had to adapt for a maze. Because what you have with The Exorcist, when you break it all down, is a movie that primarily takes place in a bedroom with a 12-year-old girl (which is not easy to cast), and she never gets out of bed. And when you look at that film and what made it such a landmark—the rotating head, the puke, the levitation over the bed—those are all practical effects that aren't necessarily in-your-face scary. They're more theatrical."
I never imagined how hard that would be until he broke it down.
"What I ultimately landed on that gave me the idea on just how to make this thing truly scary, was a trailer that has often been referred to as the 'banned trailer' for The Exorcist, which starts off typically, but then amps up with all these bizarre cuts and negative images going back and forth quickly. It has this one piece of music called 'The Night of the Electric Insects,' and I remember seeing that when I was six-years old and it terrified me. But I knew that was 'the maze.' I didn't know how it was going to translate into what we were planning initially, but I wanted this to feel like you were inside that trailer."
That is exciting and I can't wait to see this maze fully realized this Friday. Another maze we talked about was Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Blood Brothers. This is the first time we will see ChopTop and Leatherface together in a classic environment. This is the maze I'm most excited about. My first question was what was the reason for doing this?
"… I really wanted to get Chop-Top into this. He's become a cult favorite over the years, and so I needed to come up with a storyline to explain why Chop-Top would even be there. So we set it five years into the future from the end of the first movie, and Chop-Top was away in Vietnam during the original, so he's come home and sees how his family takes the next steps towards starting their BBQ business after converting their gas station into a restaurant."
We ended our tour with KRAMPUS and we were left to explore the winter wonderland on our own. It is an amazing set that explores the house as well as other areas in the film and all its insane creatures. You can see some of the awesomness in the gallery below. By the way, adjacent to the Krampus house is an old burned warehouse that features an interesting name: CRAVEN INDUSTRIES. I'll leave that to you to figure out.

That Place…There's Queer Things Goes on There: Jamaica Inn (1939)
That place – Jamaica Inn. It's got a bad name. It's not healthy, that's why. There's queer things goes on there.
Alfred Hitchcock, practically everyone knows the King of Suspense.
But while most know the films The Birds; Psycho, Vertigo, etc: a lot of his earlier films are ignored. So while these may not be everyone's favorite, these are films I love and enjoy.
Jamaica Inn was the last film Alfred Hitchcock made in the U.K., with him moving to the United States after this picture was completed. While it is not considered one of Alfred Hitchcock's best films, most people hate it even going as far to state it as his worst, I like it so I'm going to review it.
So the film is based on the historical fiction novel of the same name, written by Daphne du Marier (the same woman who wrote The Birds and Rebecca). Both she and Alfred Hitchcock were very displeased with the end result. Now why did this movie have so many problems? Charles Laughton.
Now don't get me wrong. He is a great actor, I mean look at his filmography. However, as he produced this he was able to call a lot of the shots, therefore not allowing Hitchcock to work his usual magic. Laughton changed the character chosen for him, forced Hitchcock to hire Maureen O'Hara, made Hitchcock reveal a twist earlier than planned, etc. It's hard when someone usurps the director's power.
But not everyone knows how to wield it.
Anyways, I'm going to review, because I like it.
Now before we get into the review, let's have a brief history lesson.
This film takes place in the 1820 and involves a ship wrecking gang. Wrecking was a major economy booster and began as early as the 14th century, ending in the 20th century. Certain areas, such as Cromwell where this film takes place, gangs would cause ships to crash into the rocky shoreline, by either creating false lights or putting out the usual ones.
When the ships crashed, the gangs would then salvage the cargo, sell it, and kill the sailors to hide their crimes. It wasn't until 1870, that rescuing the sailors brought in a reward.
In order to hide these activities, the wreckers would spread stories about ghost, phantoms, or other supernatural beings existing in the area.
Jamaica Inn is also based on a real inn and pub. It was known for its smugglers, pirates, and ghost stories.
So this film starts out with something a bit unusual, a prayer.
"O Lord we pray the–
not that wrecks should happen,
but that if they do happen
Thou wilt guide them–
to the coast of Cornwall,
for the benefit of the
poor inhabitants.
This real prayer for the 19th century shows how prevalent, wrecking/salvaging was.
So the film starts out with the pirates (as they technically are as they are robbing/plundering ships) putting out the lights at Cromwell's shore during a huge storm, causing them to crash. The crew go out and salvage everything, leaving no sailor alive.
The leader of this group is Joss Merlyn, also owner of Jamaica Inn. He picks the ships, sells the goods, divvies up the profits, and makes sure every man follows his orders. He's not looking to head for the gallows.
Meanwhile, Mary Yellen is traveling from Ireland to Jamaica Inn.
Mary is played by Maureen O'Hara, in her first big role. She's heading to Jamaica Inn to be with her Aunt Patience as her parents died and she has no where else to go. She's heading in a cab, when suddenly it starts moving extremely fast and passes Jamaica Inn.
She tries to get him to stop, but he refuses to listen. He's afraid of Jamaica Inn, as he's heard stories of ghosts, pirates, thieves, and worse. Instead he overshoots it by miles, dropping her off in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere.
Geez, how rude. I mean just living a women stranded in the middle of nowhere in the dark?
Luckily, she isn't too far from the Squire's house, Sir Humphrey. She decides to head down there for help.
Meanwhile, Sir Humphrey is having a big dinner and fancy party for him and his friends.
Now the Squire loves beautiful things. He'll spend tons of money on a figurine, a horse, etc. Some of the ladies at the tale are interested in landing him, but they aren't young or pretty enough for him.
Mary comes in from the cold and demands to see the Squire for help. Sir Humphrey is annoyed/intrigued at the intrusion sand makes a bet the girl will be ugly. However, when he sees her, he is stunned at her beauty.
He then tells her to remove her coat:
I'd be like "heck no!" I'm leaving my clothes on.
But, she agrees, and he says she looks stunning. That over and done with, she asks him for help to the Inn. Sir Humphrey doesn't want her to go, as the inn is full of ruffians, no place for a pretty, young girl. He would rather she stay with him.
Mary thanks him, but insists on going to the inn to be with her aunt Patience. Sir Humphrey agrees to help, and takes her to the inn.
When they arrive, Joss is creepily staring through the window at Mary.
He's creepin' in your windows. He's starin' at your people.
She knocks at the door and when he opens it, he sticks a gun in her face.
Mary quickly tells him who she is, and then Joss tries to flirt with her, asking for a kiss.
Mary starts yelling at him and telling him to watch out, her uncle won't stand for such rude treatment.
The jerk just laughs, and reveals he is her uncle.
Luckily, Patience comes out and stops his attentions for the moment. Mary is shocked when she sees Patience, she used to be so beautiful, but now is a tired, pale, weary, slip of a thing.
What happened to you?
You can tell by her pinched face that she is emotionally and physically abused by her husband.
Patience is happy to see her, but surprised. Apparently, they never received Mary's letter telling of her parents death. They bring her in, with Joss making poor Patience carry the whole trunk. Mary goes to help, but Joss says no as he would hate to ruin a lady's beautiful hands.
How could he flirt like that in front of his wife? To her own niece?
Mary has a fiery temper and yells at him. In return he picks up her trunk and throws it up the stairs, proving his strength. A true test of wills.
Don't mess with me!
Downstairs the crew are laughing and being rowdy, Joss having Patience take Mary into the kitchen so that she won't find out what's going on.
When Harry, Joss' right hand man, hears of a pretty lady, he tries to go see her and put the moves on her.
But Joss tells everyone that Mary is hands off, only for him. I mean to his wife's niece? What a jerk and mega creep.
Back in the kitchen Mary and Patience are talking. Mary wants Patience to leave Joss, but she won't. She ran away from him because she loved him, and even though he beats her, she still "loves" him. In reality, she has come to believe she deserves the beating, stuck in that cycle of abuse.
So back with the pirates. A recent addition to the team, Jem Trehearne, has been starting a ruckus with the men.
He believes there is a lot more going on then Joss is saying. He's been keeping on eye on the merchandise ands how much they've received back and it is not adding up right. There is some that is being funneled elsewhere. Jem is also smart enough to realize there is no way Joss could fence these items on his own, there must be someone helping him. But who?
Sounds suspicious
Joss sees how unsettled everyone is, and turns the suspicions back onto the crew; telling the group how easy it could be for one of them to take the product and waylay it, selling it later and keeping the profits. Now we have a witchunt, wtith everyone questioning each other.
He starts questioning how long each has been with him, coming up to Jem who has only been a part of the group for two months. Jem tries to turn it back to Joss and his mystery partner, but all have turned against him.
Grab your torches and sharpen your pitchforks!
They seize Jem and search his pockets, finding gold. That settles it, he must hang.
Before they can get started, Patience interrupts. She never would do such a thing, except Mary has just told her the Squire, Sir Humphrey, gave her a lift to the inn. She's worried that him being there, he might have seen something.
He tells Patience to take Mary up to her room to finish dinner, let's Harry take care of Jem, and then heads upstairs to a locked room.
And in there is the squire.
It turns out that Jem was right all along, there is someone else in charge, the squire.
This was an area of the film Hitchcock strongly disagreed with. He wanted to wait until the very end to do one of his famous reveals, us finding out that the Squire, supposed good guy was the real villain. But Laughton was a big star and he wanted more screen time, and as he was also producing the film, what he said went. It is interesting to see Hitchcock as he is starting out and then later on, when his word was the law. Even when it drove his actress crazy, like Tippi Hedren in The Birds.
Anyways, yes the real criminal mastermind is indeed the Squire, Sir Humphrey.
Don't let that pompous act fool you. He wines and dines the captains, finding out when ships carrying valuables are coming, sending word to Joss, who then gets the group out there to take care of it. Joss turns the goods over to the Squire, who sells the product taking a hefty cut, and giving the rest to be doled out the crewman. In some ways, this is very similar to Michael Crichton's book Pirate Latitudes.
So Sir Humphrey is not happy with what he has, he thinks he deserves more.
Joss disagrees, warning him about the unruly crewman who think they are being created. They were lucky that Jem was a perfect scapegoat, but what if next time they men turn on him?
Them in this case
Squire tells him it doesn't matter, and he better deal with the problem. They need to refocus as a new ship is coming in tomorrow night with lots of valuables.
Eyes on the prize.
Joss tells Sir Humphrey about Mary, and that he will remove her from the equation. Sir Humphrey disagrees, as he wants Mary to stay, that is until he's had her.
Meanwhile, Jem has been knocked out and tied up. The crew are looking for the right beam to hang him, unknowingly choosing the exact one that lies under Mary's room.
She overhears them talking about killing Jem, and watches them through a knothole, as they tie him up to the beam. One of the men, Dandy, really likes Jem's buckles. Instead of waiting to play dice for them, Dandy grabs them and runs off, causing the others to chase him.
With them out of the way, Mary takes her knife and starts sawing through the rope, trying to free Jem. After he drops to the ground, she sneaks out of her room and completes untying him. She wakes him up, and he tries to get her to come with him, but she has to stay for her aunt.
However, they quickly discover Jem is gone. Patience figures out that it is Mary.
and tells her to run. She takes off but soon finds herself about to be caught, when Jem pulls her onto the roof.
How sweet, he couldn't leave her behind to face everything on her own.
The two take off for the shore, Jem saying he knows a place they'll be able to hide for a while.
Joss figures out who let Jem out, and sends everyone in teams to find them and kill them. He then goes to see the Squire to warn him.
Back at the squire's home, we discover that he isn't as rich as he's been pretending to be.
I also suspect that he suffers from being bipolar or some other disease. They way he switches so quickly from anger to joyful, there's something disconnected up there.
It turns out that his Butler is also starting to question what's going on with the squire, as madness runs in his family.
Joss goes to him worried about what might happen with Jem and Mary, who they will tell. Sir Humphrey tells him to calm down as he is the only justice of the peace in the area. He kicks Joss out and tells him to focus on the ship wrecking.
He continues to yell at Joss, and also tells him to leave Mary alone. That girl is his.
The next day, Mary wakes up in the arms of Jem.
She is suddenly freaked out as the realization of her choices hits her. She betrayed her family to save a man she doesn't even know, a thief and pirate. She can never return to her Aunt's home, all family is lost to her, and all she has is a pirate who could be cruel to her or hurt her.
She tries to sneak away, and steal the boat, but wakes Jem up, who is hurt at her not trusting him. I mean after all that you think they would have a bond.
Jem Trehearne: That's women for you – save your life one minute, frightened of you the next. I guess I'm not a very pretty sight at the moment, but I don't bite, you know.
While the two are arguing, the boat slips away and they are now stuck in a cave, and high tide will be upon them soon enough.
So now they are stuck. And in this scene we have some of the best banter. Jem is totally trying to make light of the situation. Mary, on the other hand, is angry at herself and the fact that everything is going wrong.
Jem Trehearne: Trust me to land myself with a woman. 'Course, you did save my life.
Mary Yellen: I hope you make better use of it in the future.
Jem Trehearne: That's a tall order for a desperate character like me.
Mary Yellen: No doubt.
Jem Trehearne: Smuggler and a cutthroat; that gives it.
Mary Yellen: Very likely.
Jem Trehearne: Do you think there's any hope for me? Tell me, what all am I to do?
Mary Yellen: Anything you please.
Jem Trehearne: Well, I used to be a sailor. I can go back to sea.
Mary Yellen: I'm not in the least interested.
Jem Trehearne: You must be. Don't forget you're responsible for me.
Mary Yellen: I am not.
Jem Trehearne: Oh, yes. If weren't for you I shouldn't be here at all. You can't deny that. When we're safe in Trulo I'll place myself entirely in your hands.
Mary Yellen: Oh, please be quiet.
I like Jem. I think he is sweet, funny, and pretty adorable while at the same time being a man of action, and having some honor. I wonder how he got mixed up with thieves?
So while they are talking, they fail to realize that their lost boat has just given away their position. Harry and two other crew members, realize they are in the cave and throw down a rope, inviting them up. They're trapped. Either they wait in the cave and drown when the high tide comes in. Or they are saved and killed by the pirates.
But Jem won't give up. He decides to instead have him and Mary swim to shore. They have a better chance of surviving the stormy sea, then staying in the cave where the men will let them drown or hang them.
They make it to shore, and Jem wants to go to town. Mary changes his mind, by pointing out the Squire's mansion is so much closer.
When they get to the house, they interrupt a dinner with a captain.
The two come in soaked and telling the squire about what's going on. Mary is sent upstairs to change into dry things, stopping to ask the squire for clemency for Jem, while Jem is regulated in front of the fire as he is not important. Go ahead and freeze to death or catch the flu and die, you're not important.
But Jem will not be regulated to the side. He insists on speaking to the squire NOW. In fact he has something very important to show Sir Humphrey.
His badge.
Yep Jem is not really a thief, he's actual a cop and was just undercover trying to bust a ship wrecking ring. Before Sir Humphrey was just going to get rid of him or lock him up, but know that he is a cop with real officers knowing who he is and where he went. It's time to change the game.
New plan
Mary overhears and runs over to the Inn to warn Patience, and try and get her to leave, but she won't go. Soon Jem and Sir Humphrey arrive, Sir Humphrey playing along with Jem; as Jem deduces the how, where, and why of the whole situation. He just needs to figure out who the head man is.
He tries to persuade Joss to tell. This man is a tyrant that must be brought to justice!
Jem Trehearne: He [the head of the operation] remains aloof content to hire the scum of the coast to do his murderous work for him, thinking there's no blood on his hands, but there is.
Jem leaves Joss with Sir Humphrey, as he goes to move the women upstairs. While he is gone Sir Humphrey warns Joss that tonight will have to be the last one, it would be best for both to take a little vacation. Then he hands over his gun.
Now think how much more awesome this scene would have been if this was the first time we realized that the Squire was the man they were working for. Hitchcock relly got gypped there. Oh, well.
So the men have heard Jem, and without Sir Humphrey as back up, the two are quickly captured and tied up.
Joss puts Patience on guard with a gun, while asking Mary along, just in case she had the urge to free Jem again.
Jem puts on a brave face and tries to convince Patience that if she gives up the location of her husband, then it will help him serve less time. Patiene refuses.
Sir Humphrey doesn't even bother talking, getting out of the unknotted knots Joss tied on him and walking right out. After all, he has a ship to catch.
Jem is embarrassed and angry he could be tricked so easily, but continues to try to get Patience to set him free. But Patience says no, she loves Jem.
Eventually something must have worked on her, as the next scene we see Jem free and out to get help.
Meanwhile Mary is out with the crewman. They put the beacon out and wait, but while all are preoccupied, Mary runs out to fix the beacon. She gets in a fight with one of the men, accidentally breaking the beacon and setting her cape on fire. She hangs that up and saves the ship.
The salvagers are very angry!
They grab her and start tearing at her clothes, making threats about what they will do. Joss comes into save her, but gets shot by Harry.
Mary manages to get his body to the inn. There Patience is heartbroken and tries to warn Mary that Joss wasn't the real leader, there is someone worse, when she is shot!
Sir Humphrey shot her as he didn't want her warning Mary about him. He then goes and ties her up, giving her a hooded cape to hide it, and takes her with him in his carriage.
So Sir Humprey has completely succumbed to the insanity that runs in his family.
Jem is not too far behind the two, being able to get the regimental captain that was dining with Sir Humphrey earlier to use his troops to stop the men. They round up the ship wreckers and find the bodies of Joss and Patience. They set out to follow Humphrey's trail.
At the ship, Sir Humphrey throws Mary inside a cabin. Telling her that she may have wanted to marry some normal, man and have a litter of kids, but that's not what she should have. She should have the finer things with him.
Sir Humphrey: Good thing you have a man of sensibility, who'd rather see you dead first.
Before Sir Humphrey can make good on his threats, the regiment arrives. He tries to take Mary as a hostage, but they are prepared to shoot any part of his body they can. In order to escape he climbs up the sails of the ship, choosing to jump off and commit suicide then be taken alive.
Mary is shaken over everything, with Jem taking her and comforting her.
So was it as amazing as his later work? No. Was it still a good movie? Yes. I thought it was interesting, fun, a tad campy, but still entertaining.

If you're using Discord's iPhone app and have updated to iOS 11, you might have noticed a few problems.
Users have reported an array of issues they've had with the app since updating, including the inability to post pictures or switch tabs without the app crashing. The most common issue iPhone users have noticed is the lack of speaker option for voice chat. In the app's previous version, which was being used with iOS 10.3.3., users were able to do all of the above without issue.
Discord is aware of the issue, but the team doesn't have an estimated update to fix the issues at this time. Discord did not offer comment on the situation or provide additional information about what other aspects of Discord use may be affected because of the update when Polygon asked.
On Twitter, Discord confirmed it is aware of the problems iOS 11 is giving users, adding that the engineering team was looking into it.
Discord isn't the only app suffering problems following iOS 11's launch. Facebook Messenger users have reported not being able to use the app as it crashes after two seconds of use.
Apple's new operating software also marks the first time that 32-bit apps won't be supported at all. If you still have 32-bit apps or games — like Flappy Bird or Joe Danger Touch — they won't open. This is a move that Apple has been working toward since the release of iOS 9 in 2015.

Proposal for Three-year Health Insurance Policy
Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) is considering a long-term health insurance policy to meet the rising demand for health cover. The proposal, if finalized, will enable policyholders to opt for two or three-year policies instead of the existing one-year policy. It will also allow them to make initial one-time payments for the desired duration instead of annual payments every year.
Mr. T. S. Vijayan, Chairman of IRDAI, said that a committee has been set up to look into the proposal for extension and address aspects such as health savings accounts, claim settlement processes, etc. The long-term health insurance policy will be a welcome move in the insurance industry, similar to the long-term policy that was introduced for two wheelers earlier this year.
Mr. Vijayan was speaking at an event organized by ICICI Lombard to announce the issuance of 1,00,000 long-term two wheeler policies in 2015. ICICI Lombard was the first to launch the long-term two wheeler policy in India. Mr. Bhargav Dasgupta, MD and CEO of ICICI Lombard, said that 40% of the online two wheeler insurance policies bought this year were long-term policies.
These numbers are highly encouraging for a country where the total insurance penetration is less than 4% of the GDP. Insurance digitization has greatly helped to reduce the distribution costs of insurance products and initiate faster claims settlement.

Police have today issued a re-appeal for witnesses to fatal collision on M1 in Northamptonshire.
Officers investigating the fatal collision on the M1 would like to speak to one driver who stopped at the scene and for those with dashcam footage to come forward.
The collision happened at about 10am on Wednesday (January 23), between junctions 15 and 14, on the southbound carriageway, when a white Renault Master van was in collision with the back of a Mercedes Actos lorry.
Sadly, the driver of the Renault, a 60-year-old man from Bedford, died at the scene.
Sergeant Simon Pinchin, from the Northamptonshire Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit, today said: "The investigation into the cause of the collision is ongoing and we would like to speak to anyone who witnessed it or who has dashcam footage that might show the collision or any of the vehicles involved shortly before or after it.
"We are also very keen to speak to the driver of a silver or grey Toyota Avensis Estate, with a 56 registration plate, who stopped at the scene but left before emergency services arrived, and would urge them to get in touch."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Northamptonshire Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 101 or via the Drivewatch Hotline on 0800 174645.

Melo, suspended for DUI, asks Nuggets for loyalty
Anthony suspended first two games of 2008-09 season for DUI
ESPN.com news services
DENVER -- The Denver Nuggets suspended NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony for the first two games of next season as punishment for his April arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.
The announcement by the team Monday came hours after Anthony was also named to the U.S. Olympic team Monday. Later in the day, in his first public comments since Denver's season ended, Anthony made a request of management to not trade him this offseason.
"That's the only thing that I want," Anthony told the Denver Post in a telephone interview. "I felt like I've been committed to them and showed my loyalty to them and to the city and state. I would like the same thing in return. I would rather them be honest with me and just let me know."
Nuggets vice president of basketball operations Mark Warkentien said in a written statement the team will continue to support Anthony in the matter of his DUI case as he "strives to live up to the high expectations" set by the team and by Anthony.
Warkentien also said in the statement the team takes "drinking and driving very seriously" and that they will continue to handle the matter internally and will not comment further.
Anthony is scheduled to appear in Denver County Court on Tuesday for his arraignment.
He was arrested April 14 on Interstate 25. Police said Anthony was weaving and not dimming his lights when he was pulled over. He was driving alone at the time.
Police also said Anthony failed a series of sobriety tests. Following his arrest, Anthony apologized to his team and his fans and said his behavior was "truly and totally unacceptable."
"I'm here to man up to my mistake, just to let you know that I'm truly sorry for what happened and everything that's going on," Anthony said then.
Three weeks later, Anthony was ticketed for driving 60 mph in a 45-mph zone. The 24-year-old paid a $130 fine on that case last week.
Anthony's attorney, Dan Recht, did not immediately return a call after hours Monday.
Anthony was also suspended last season after his involvement in a brawl with the New York Knicks during a game at Madison Square Garden. In that case, he was suspended for 15 games after he punched Knicks guard Mardy Collins.
The Olympic selection is the second for Anthony, who also played for the U.S. in Athens in 2004.

Commander Under Fire For Official NYPD Tweet With #BlackLivesMatter
AndrewBlake - February 10, 2018
The NYPD commander is claiming that she's not responsible for the tweet.
New York, NY – A New York Police Department (NYPD) precinct commander created a firestorm when an official tweet from her account ended with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter.
Deputy Inspector Janice Holmes of the 100th Precinct in Rockaway had posted Feb. 9 on her Twitter account a photo of black boxer Jack Johnson that stated how Johnson was the first black heavyweight champion in 1908. She ended the tweet with the Black Lives Matter hashtag, according to the New York Post.
The New York Daily News cited anonymous sources that said Inspector Holmes told her superiors that she was not the one who posted the tweet and that she ordered it changed.
The tweet was commemorating Black History Month and the hashtag has been changed to #BlackHistoryMonth.
"How can a precinct commander lead people when she aligns herself with a group that is known to hate law enforcement and wishes police officers dead?" one police source told the New York Post. "She's making a political statement on a job Web site. Let's see what the police commissioner does now. If they don't take action, then I guess the police commissioner and the mayor condone this."
A spokesperson for the NYPD said they were reviewing the Twitter account of the 100th precinct.
Officers aren't happy that the commander appeared to be promoting a group known for inciting violence against law enforcement.
The New York Post reported that Holmes was the first black commander of her precinct and is one of four siblings who serve with the department.
The New York Daily News reported that the NYPD has strict policies about who is allowed to post on official social media accounts and what types of topics are appropriate.

Man charged with shooting at federal officer in Muskegon
U.S. District Court – Western District of Michigan, Southern Division
By: FOX 17
MUSKEGON, Mich. — A suspect is charged with shooting at a federal officer in Muskegon last month, according to documents obtained from U.S. District Court.
On August 4, a special agent from the ATF involved was taking part in the Muskegon Major Crimes Initiative when he observed three men behaving suspiciously, federal court documents say.
The agent followed the men near Getty Street and Isabella Avenue when he says Errion Patterson fired a handful of shots at the officer.
Patterson was arrested on August 27 at a friend's house in Illinois for outstanding warrants out of Muskegon County.
The 18-year-old was arraigned September 14 in federal court on counts of assaulting a federal officer and for using a firearm during violent crime.
He is also facing several state-level charges, including assault with a deadly weapon, and carrying a concealed weapon.

John Carter and the Gods of Hollywood
The original "John Carter Fan Trailer" is about to hit 200,000 views
June 22, 2012 June 22, 2012 Michael Sellers Other Stuff
As John Carter Sequel fans continue their efforts to get consideration for a sequel, I just noticed that our John Carter Files' original John Carter Fan Trailer is about to hit 200,000 views on YouTube. (It's at 199,275 views as I write this.) This is the one that Mark Linthicum and I cut on Super Bowl Sunday after we were perplexed and disheartened by the Disney Super Bowl ad that played during the game. For those who don't know the story, there's an explanation afterwards about what happened.
When we posed it initially, not that much happened — it got a few thousand views and some nice comments but that was it. Then Director Andrew Stanton tweeted: "Great fan trailer! They get it!" and linked to the trailer, and began talking about it as having the "DNA of the film we made". The next day, Ain't It Cool News posted an article and embed of the trailer with headline: A Fan-Made Trailer Sells JOHN CARTER better than any other trailer so far. A few hours later similar stories and embeds appeared on Collider, Slashfilm, Badass Digest, Film School Rejects and others. It then spread to more blogs — a total of more than 300 — as well as mainstream media publications including Wired (Fan Trailer for John Carter Tops Studios Best Efforts) , Entertainment Weekly (John Carter Fan Trailer: Okay, this has to get you excited!) , The Hollywood Reporter, (Fan Made Trailer for John Carter could be better than studio original) nd the Los Angeles Times (Fans Create unofficial new trailer for John Carter). CNN also ran a story (Fans Create their own John Carter Trailer). In the first five days after Stanton's tweet, the trailer received 100,000 views on YouTube and became a significant part of the conversation about the movie. At the time — it felt like maybe our effort was having an effect as there were a number of observers who mentioned that there was a favorable "counterbuzz" developing for John Carter in the final weeks and days before release — but ultimately this was swamped by the overwhelmingly negative narrative that had been established and simply would not be derailed — certainly not by anything as plucky but ultimately insubstantial as a fan trailer.
One stat that is a little bit interesting which I had to dig up as part of the story being written in John Carter and the Gods of Hollywood is that the fan trailer has a Like/Dislike total of 1267 likes to 14 dislikes, or a ratio of 90.5 /1, as opposed to the official trailer which has 3,757/282, or a ratio of 13.3/1 — a stat that does seem to support the contention that our trailer would have been a more effective approach for Disney to follow, keeping in mind also that it was not a radical departure from their trailer but rather was just a re-organizing of it so that more of the story became understandable, without giving away spoilers.
We also did a second fan trailer, which we called "Heritage", which started much more slowly, but is now up to 130,000 views, and is our favorite because — unlike the first one which is basically a reorganized mashup of the official trailers, this one we basically made from scratch.

SouthworldNews July 2013Gulf States – Dangerous arms race
Gulf States – Dangerous arms race
Category:	News July 2013
F15 Fighter bombers, Apache and Black Hawk assault helicopters are just some of the arms bought recently by the Gulf States worried by rising tension in the Middle East.
This was confirmed by research published between 2010 and 2012, which estimates the arms trade in the monarchies of the Arabian Peninsula at more than 40 billion dollars in 2012 alone. "There is a real arms race under way in the Persian Gulf," says Jan Grebe, a research worker of the Bonn International Centre of Conversion (BICC), a German organisation specialised in observing the global arms trade. In 2012, Saudi Arabia signed a contract with the USA for more than 34 billion dollars. Among the items purchased were 84 F15 fighter planes and 132 Black Hawk helicopters. The Saudi monarchy invested in much more besides aircraft and armoured vehicles. In early February, the American Lockheed Martin company, leader in the aerospace and military sector, signed an agreement with the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, the leading Saudi company in technological development. The American giant also opened its first office in the Saudi capital. Up to 2020, it will sell strategic expertise on the construction of weapons and information systems for defence.
Following in the wake of Riyadh, other Gulf States have also begun to make agreements to renew and train their armies. In November, the United Arab Emirates acquired an anti-missile shield with high-precision radar and ballistic systems worth 3.49 billion dollars, as well as 16 Chinook helicopters worth 939 million dollars. Oman (with 2.8 million inhabitants) has replaced its old Tornadoes with 18 F15 fighter-bombers and spent 1.4 billion in just one year. Qatar, one of the largest supporters of the crisis-stricken European economy, spent 9.9 billion dollars in 2012 on systems capable of launching Patriot missiles and is said to have already prepared further military contracts with the USA for 2013. Recently, the German government sold 200 Leopard tanks and other war material to Saudi Arabia and Qatar with a contract for 2 billion dollars. Following Germany's example, London is also negotiating the sale of fighter-bombers to the Saudis. "In recent years – the German BICC expert continues – European countries have realised the strategic importance of the Gulf States and have become partners of the Sheiks." He believes western countries want Gulf States to be more stable and militarily autonomous and capable of resolving any crisis in the region that could arise from the Syrian civil war, the Iranian nuclear programme, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Grebe emphasises that there are two major reasons for rearming: to defend against attacks from Iran and to reinforce internal stability. However, he does not exclude the use of Leopard tanks to suppress revolts inside the country or in neighbouring states, like Bahrain in 2012. The fact remains that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates are among the ten most militarised countries in the world. One of the first victims of this military escalation is social spending.
During the last five years, each monarchy spent, on average, 10% of GDP on the military. This is the highest rate in the world, compared with the USA (4.5%) and the global average (around 2.5%). It is even more alarming when compared with spending on health and education. The prize for the worst performance goes to Qatar, which spends only 1.8% of GDP on health and a miserable 2.5% on education, despite an annual increase of 18.8%. Saudi Arabia spends 4% on health and 5% on education. These figures are not very different from those of Iran, which maintains a better proportion between expenditure on arms and social works than many Arab states. Surprisingly, the Islamic Republic is ranked 34th by the BICC in military spending. Among the ten countries that spend most on armaments are Israel – in first place – and the Gulf States. (A.N.)

Q: Android Button Highlighting This has probably already been asked but I can't find it.
So I made a custom button in android with a normal image and a "pressed" image. Only problem is, when I press the button on the phone, and while pressed I drag my finger off the image and release, the button image remains as pressed instead of reverting back to the normal, unpressed image. The default android button is formatted so that when you do this "drag-off" event, the button goes back to normal as soon as your finger leaves the dimensions of the button.
main.java:
but1.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                but1.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bluewhiteplainpressed);
                return false;
            }
        });

        but1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if(!but1.isActivated()){
                    but1.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bluewhiteplain);

button's code in menu.xml:
<Button
            android:id="@+id/button1pos"
            android:layout_width="0dip"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/bluewhiteplain"
            />

A: Remove OnTouchListener and put a drawable selector in background button.

We Flipped the Switch on Our Solar Array
Class of 2019: Where Are They Going?
Oh, the Places They'll Go: Class of 2019 Edition
Have Ewe Heard? We've Got Sheep!
Seniors Present Research, Art at Senior Scholars Day
Susquehanna University President Jonathan D. Green, left, and Richard Walsh, program lead, clean energy solutions, WGL Energy, "flip the switch" on the 3.9 MW DC solar array that supplies 30 percent of the university's electricity needs—the largest university-sponsored solar array in Pennsylvania.
A flock of 30-some sheep will keep the grass trimmed throughout the 14-acre solar array starting in April 2019. These sheep were on hand especially for Wednesday's event.
Susquehanna University officially "flipped the switch" on its 3.9 MW DC solar array that supplies 30 percent of the university's electricity needs—the largest university-sponsored solar array in Pennsylvania.
Sheep to Shear Grass, Weeds
Campus and community members flocked to the event for the unveiling of a few representative lamby "lawn mowers" that will help maintain the grass and weeds around the array—a small flock of sheep from Owens Farm, Sunbury.
The sheep wool help maintain the efficiency of the array by ensuring that grass and weeds won't grow higher than the panels, which would create sun-blocking shade. Susquehanna President Jonathan D. Green called the sheep, "the most environmentally responsible lawn-mowing team of any college or university."
The fleecy flock of 30-some sheep will begin their work at the array in April 2019.
The solar initiative is a partnership with WGL Energy Systems, which has more than 200 MW of distributed generation projects installed or under contract across 20 states and the District of Columbia. WGL owns and operates the facility under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA), and Susquehanna purchases electricity from WGL. SGC Power, a Maryland-based company, served as co-developer on the project and provided design and construction services.
Wednesday's event capped months of sustainability recognitions for Susquehanna.
Michael Coyne, vice president for finance and administration and co-chief operating officer at Susquehanna, highlighted the university's great strides.
"In nine years, we have gone from the Sierra Club's list of 'Schools Who Burn Coal' to the Sierra Club's list of 'Cool Schools.' It hasn't been easy ... but as the warnings about climate change have reached a new level of alarm, all that work has proven worth the effort," Coyne said. "To shed some light—pun intended—this solar field isn't our final destination; it's a milestone along the way to the university being a carbon-neutral campus."
Other speakers at Wednesday's event included Richard Walsh, program lead, clean energy solutions, WGL Energy; and Michael Walsh, deputy secretary for administration, state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

A tool for ray tracing simulations of quantum dot solar concentrators is developed on the basis of Monte-Carlo methods that are applied to polarization-dependent reflection/transmission at interfaces, photon absorption by the semiconductor nanocrystals and photoluminescent reemission. A real time three-dimensional representation of the beam trajectories provides the user with an immediate visual control of the optical behavior of the simulated system. The software allows importing measured or theoretical absorption/reemission spectra describing the photoluminescent properties of the quantum dots. Hereby the properties of photoluminescent reemission are described by a set of emission spectra depending on the energy of the incoming photon. The inverse function method is then used to simulate the photoluminescent emission according to the corresponding photon energy distribution. For quantum dot containing systems, the simulated and measured transmission spectra are matching closely. Simulated spectra of the concentrated radiation exhibit the redshift which is typical for planar photoluminescent concentrators.


Sri Lanka will face uphill task when they travel to South Africa to play two-match Test series that starts from 13th February.
The visitors have made a lot of changes for the tour as captain Dinesh Chandimal has been dropped from the squad due to his poor run of form with the bat. All-rounder Angelo Matthew will also miss due to hamstring injury. Opener Dimuth Karunaratne has been named interim captain for the side for the Test series. Sri Lanka have included five uncapped players for the Test series in South Africa.
On the other hand, Hosts South Africa inflicted a whitewash over Pakistan in the three-match Test series played earlier this season. Skipper Faf du Plessis has stressed that the side needs to maintain their focus on red-ball cricket and claim top spot in the ICC Test Rankings. The side has produced consistently good performances with bat and ball in games played at home.
Duanne Olivier, Aiden Markam and Quinton de Kock played leading roles for South Africa in the previous series played against Pakistan. The hosts will be relying on their experienced players like Dean Elgar, Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis to do the bulk of the scoring. Theunis De Bruyn, Zubayr Hamza and uncapped Wiann Mulder are three promising players that will be looking to do well in this two-match Test series.
Dale Steyn made an emphatic return to Test cricket and also picked up crucial wickets for the side against Pakistan. Left-arm orthodox spinner Keshav Maharaj is likely to come back into the playing XI as surfaces in Durban or Port Elizabeth will certainly suit the slow bowlers.
The first Test of the series will be played at Kingsmead Cricket Ground in Durban from 13th to 17th February. The second and final Test will be played at St Georges Park in Port Elizabeth from 21st to 25th February.
The conclusion of the Test series will see South Africa play five-match one-day series against Sri Lanka that will start from 3rd March. The games will be played across five venues- Johannesburg, Durban, Centurion, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town. The islanders will then play three-match Test series to conclude the tour. The T20I series will be played across three venues- Cape Town, Johannesburg and Centurion. The series will begin from 19th March in Cape Town.

I've been hit by a barrage of Autoimmune Paleo questions in the last 24 hours. It's caused the thoughts swirling around my brain on the topic to finally been put in writing.
I'll start off by saying, I love Robb Wolf. He's smart, logical, healthy and changing lives. There aren't very many crushes a married woman has… but every once in a while a girl can crush. I'm not only inspired and impressed with Robb himself, I'm always learning and growing the more I'm exposed to his PodCast, book and website – everything (well, almost everything) I've got here comes from that exposure. Here's Robb's definition of Autoimmunity on his FAQ.
Autoimmunity is a process in which our bodies own immune system attacks "us." Normally the immune system protects us from bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections. The immune system identifies a foreign invader, attacks it, and ideally clears the infection. A good analogy for autoimmunity is the case of tissue rejection after organ donation. If someone requires a new heart, lung kidney or liver due to disease or injury, a donor organ may be an option. The first step in this process is trying to find a tissue "match". All of us have molecules in our tissues that our immune system uses to recognize self from non-self. If a donated organ is not close enough to the recipient in tissue type the immune system will attack and destroy the organ. In autoimmunity, a similar process occurs in that an individuals own tissue is confused as something foreign and the immune system attacks this "mislabeled" tissue. Common forms of autoimmunity include Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and Vitiligo to name only a tiny fraction of autoimmune diseases. Elements of autoimmunity are likely at play in conditions as seemingly unrelated as Schizophrenia, infertility, and various forms of cancer. Interestingly, all of these seemingly unrelated diseases share a common cause: damage to the intestinal lining which allows large, undigested food particles to make their way into the body. This is called "leaky gut and the autoimmune response". Here is a 7-part video series by Prof. Loren Cordain describing the etiology of Multiple Sclerosis. Keep in mind, this is the same process which underlies ALL autoimmune disease.
By listening to Robb's 73 (so far) PodCasts, I've learned a lot about autoimmunity and what role lectins and phytic acid can play as gut irritants wreaking havoc on your body (permeability of intestinal lining, to be specific). 90% of all the cells in your body are in your gut. NINETY PERCENT. When you're putting anti-nutrients and toxic food (see references in links above) into your intestines, making them more permeable to absorbing the pathogens, it will give you all of the symptoms above. It makes it impossible for your body to run healthy and clean; you're unable to absorb nutrients from the healthy foods properly Ultimately, we now fortify our milk, our orange juice and tons of processed foods with the nutrients we could be naturally eating, absorbing and self-regulating through natural consumption if our bodies weren't in a state of toxic shock from the grains and legumes prescribed by almost every doctor, nutritionist and even (incredibly deep into a conflict of interest through their investments into grains) the Government.
Alright… so, now that I've linked you to the other side of the internet and back, let's get to the questions which sparked this diatribe.
Question #1: Which Autoimmune diseases are known to do better under Paleo?
Robb has noted that in particular Celiac, Multiple Sclerosis, depression, Schizophrenia, Hashimoto's, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Ulcerative Colitis, thyroid dysfunction, Scleroderma, Sarcoidosis, Crohns, Cushing's, Lupus, eczema, acne, Rheumatoid and junior arthritis, chronic lymes, Endometriosis, Fibromyalgia and even cancer have all been documented as improved or put into remission with Paleo. Wikipedia has a huge table of Autoimmune diseases – I would say with enough time to research 100% would be improved.
The answer comes from this: Because Celiac is an autoimmune disorder of the intestines, medical professionals developed a test through tissue transglutaminase where a response is triggered from gut irritation. Medical professionals are now able to adapt this screening for diagnostics of other autoimmune diseases. So far (according to Robb, I can't find journal studies in my quick Google search) every single tested condition has seen remission on an autoimmune version of the Paleo lifestyle (that includes diet, walking and sleeping).
Question #2: My daughter has had an on-going struggle with asthma and pneumonia. She's now being diagnosed with autoimmune issues, how could Paleo help?
Because both conditions are caused by inflammation of the airway, and a spiral affect from there, these conditions can both be categorized with the other autoimmune diseases noted. The Paleo diet IS an anti-inflammatory diet and is noted as the ideal diet for asthmatics and other inflammatory sufferers. Paleo could offer as good, if not better results, than medication.
Question #3: My son has type 1 diabetes and his AC1 scores aren't as low as I'd like, can Paleo help?
Obviously Type 2 diabetics will benefit from Paleo, but because Type 1 diabetes can be tied to autoimmune issues Robb's site shows success stories (1 and 2) for putting it into remission as well. Paleo offers not only the benefits to diabetes on the autoimmune front, but it also offers a reduction in the glycemic load and offers healthy sources of glucose, reduction in fructose and regulates insulin production. Again, Paleo could offer amazing results!
I feel like these 3 questions really round out an overall lesson I've learned in the last couple months about Paleo: our bodies don't like the modern diet, we're just not evolved for it! If you're not strictly Paleo, think about it. I had a TON of those autoimmune symptoms pre-Paleo but it never occurred to me I even had symptoms – it felt like life, but it's not. As Angelo Coppola says, we as humans are not broken by default.
Ask yourself: Do you have gas, heartburn or difficulty sleeping? Do you want to lay in bed "a few more minutes" in the morning? Do you get creaky joints, aches, pains or need coffee to kick off your day? Do you get headaches? Are you cranky, irritable, frustrated or fleeting moments of sadness? I can tell you that for 99% of people, those symptoms would disappear going 100% Paleo. I didn't even realize I wasn't feeling my best – I literally wake up every day with joy and excitement, full of energy, pain-free. If Paleo can be a rebirth for me, I can only imagine what a difference it could make for someone struggling with autoimmune disorder(s).
I sat at lunch today and listened to a woman describe symptoms I used to experience monthly. When I explained how and why Paleo would help, and what improvements I've seen first hand on my own cycle (which I'll eventually blog about), the result was another woman at the table recommending Pamprin and then someone else handing her Midol. I was scoffed at and ignored as a loon. Our society has become so dependent on the answer being medicine that we can't see the forest for the trees anymore. The solution is not always necessarily medicine; medicine masks the symptoms but the underlying cause remains the same: your body is telling you something is wrong.
Please note: I am in no way a medical professional or offering medical advice. Please make wise choices, as they are your own and I am not liable. Before stopping any current medication, educate yourself and discuss with a like-minded professional.
