The Games People Play by Charlene Sands
Our family is big on games. We're "gamers" as they say. Whenever we get together either with friends or family, we play our fair share of games.
It's a hoot and a howl and we usually end up laughing our heads off after a few pizzas and beers. Since our kids are grown and out of the house, we've instituted a Once A Month Game day!
Cards are usually the game of choice. We'll play anything from UNO to Milles Bornes to Phase Ten. We have Phase Ten Tournaments. My new son-in-law is quite a competitor. He and my hubby are always trying to outdo each other.
Sequence is a board game that you play with a deck of cards as well. Its sort of like Bingo … but we play regular Bingo too!
When we have a larger group than the six of us, like this past Easter – we'll break out Catch Phrase. This is a game like Password, where you are allowed to describe the word in any way possible to your team members. Once your team gets the word, you pass the digital "board" to your opponent. A clock clicks off time and if you're the team left holding the "board" when the timer runs out, the opposing team scores a point. Not only are we playing a Password type game, but we're also playing Hot Potato – all at the same time.
Another fun game for more than four players is Apples to Apples. It's easy and fun, REALLY, but way too hard to explain on this blog. Trust
me – you'll love it.
As I peruse my closet, I see digital Deal or No Deal (but you don't win any real money), Risk (one time we played this game for 8 hours), Parcheesi (for oldies but goodies) and Upwords, a board game that's like scrabble except you can build tiles upon each other. Of course Yahtzee and Monopoly and Clue are among my all time favorites. Fun, Fun, Fun!
So what games did they play in the 1800's?
The first American board game was created in 1843 by the W & S.B Ives Company called the Mansion of Happiness. This game led children via their playing pieces down the path of "eternal happiness."
Would you believe that the The Game of Life as we know it (pictured on left) started out as the picture you see next to it. Invented by Milton Bradley in 1860, The Checkered Game of Life was a board game that rewarded good deeds and punished bad ones. Milton Bradley, once a successful lithographer, had created a portrait of Abe Lincoln without his beard. When Lincoln grew his now-famous beard, Bradley's clean-shaven portrait was no longer popular. Out of desperation, Bradley designed the Checkered Game of Life and its immediate popularity started Milton Bradley on a new career path.
As more and more Americans traveled overseas in the late 1800's, traveling board games held great appeal. Travelers could relive their trips by playing such games as Around the World invented in 1873 or McLoughlin Brothers' Game of Round the World with Nellie Bly which was created in 1890.
Are you a "gamer" too? Do you play cards or board games with family and friends? Which are your favorites?

How Did You Come Up With That? — Kay Thomas
46 thoughts on "The Games People Play by Charlene Sands"
Hi Charlene! Family favorites here are Aggravation and a board game called Rail Baron.
One of the most famous Bylin family stories involved a heated game of Aggravation. That's the one where you roll one di (is that singular for dice?) and move marbles around a board. My mom needed a 1 or a 6 to win. She was saying, "Oh! Oh! Oh!" when she tossed the di. Somehow it went straight into her mouth. I'll never forget everyone at the table staring in stunned amazement while she tried to figure out what to do : )
Rail Baron is great for anyone into railroads. It's similiar to Monopoly in that you buy property (railroads), but there's quite a bit of strategy. You also learn a lot about railroads. It's been handy with some of my books.
Charlene, oh how I miss the days when we used to play games together! Why don't we take the time to do it more often?
Sequence was a real favorite, and I don't know how many hours we used to play Monopoly. A ton! And as I've been cleaning closets, one is full of all the board games my girls used to play while growing up. Remember the Barbie board game. I still love that one, too! I'm not getting rid of any of them.
Good for you for playing games as a family! They're what memories are made of.
A fun blog!
Becky Ward
Hi Charlene! I miss when I was younger and played games with the family. We played alot of UNO, Life, and Monopoly. My husband and I still own a Monopoly game, but we haven't played it for a few years now. The game we play with our friends is a board game called Cash Flow now. Once in a while we will still play Uno too.
Charlene Sands
Oh, you made me laugh with that story of your mother. Was she okay? I hope she won the game after that!
Rail Baron sounds like fun. Is that game around anymore?
I won't get rid of any of my old games either. My Monopoly has all really cool original pieces. The newer versions don't have really fun playing pieces. Remember how everyone always wanted to be the Sportscar or the Dog, but would settle for the Steamboat. Most of those older games are falling apart, but I refuse to toss them. We once played Monopoly Online… not the same at all. 🙂
Monopoly and Uno are classics! I've never heard of Cash Flow though. It's funny because we never played games with my Mom and Dad when we were younger, but now that my kids are grown, we've started it up again. We're having a ball and it's great for family bonding. Thanks for stopping by today!!
What a fun blog, Charlene. These days my gaming consists of an occasional round of Candyland with my 3-year-old grandlet (she cheats). But the games at your house sound like so much fun. As kids we loved Clue, played it endlessly. And on rare occasions I can be a killer monopoly player.
Thanks for the smile.
Hi Elizabeth – Oh, how I wish I had a grandlet to play Candyland with. Do you remember Chutes and Ladders? That was a favorite of mine too! Oh, so you're one of "those" Monopoly players. I bet you always owned Park Place and Broadway!
Charlene, we love Catch Phrase at our house. When we play it, which isn't often, we end up laughing hysterically.
I played Chutes and Ladders and Candyland and Pop-O-Matic Trouble with my girls when they were young.
I've always hated Monopoly for some reason, I think I'm too fiscally conservative to buy property, I prefer to hoard my money, which is a guaranteed way to lose, which also explains my approach to investments in real life.
Roberta Harwell
Hello Charlene,
Our family was big into card games such as Rook, Spades, Canasta, and Pinnacle. I haven't played some of these games in years. Have a great day.
Isn't Catch Phrase a hoot! We too, laugh hysterically when we play it.
One time, my husband and I went to a friend's house to play Monopoly and they were bankrupt right away. We went on to play the game until we finished,(which took hours) neither hubby or myself wanted to lose. It's not a great game to play with "company" because people get eliminated… now we always play games that everyone can play until it ends!!
Roberta,
I don't play Rook, but we've played Spades and Canasta years ago. I think I've forgotten how to play actually. Happy Weekend!
My personal favorite games are Yahtzee and Skip-Bo. I can play for hours. Love to play with my two older granddaughters. I think playing games is an excellent way of bonding. You sure find out a lot about the people playing with you. My son is a terrible sore loser. He can't stand to lose. My two daughters used to hate playing with him.
I learned something from you today. I didn't know board games were around way back in the 1800's. I mistakenly thought they didn't evolve until the early 20th century. I can just see those women in their long dresses sitting around playing in some parlor.
Oh, yes, we are gamers. We love playing both card and board games. Rage, Uno variations, Catan, Ark of Covenant, Ticket to Ride, you name it we have a room of shelves (more than one) just for games (more than one), Dominoes, pigs, tip the cow, skipbo. and I could go one. GAMERS with a capital 'G' We don't own a tv but we play games.
Kate Bridges
Hi Charlene! My family loves games, too. Monopoly, Clue, Scrabble, and especially cards. We also have Password, and what a hoot that is to play with another couple. What a fun blog!
Hi Linda-
I love Yahtzee too. Can you believe my girlfried NEVER played it. I introduced it to her and she was amazed at how much fun it is. It's fun for 2 or more so sometimes just me and the DH play it.
Oh and I forgot to say that I learned that Milton Bradley lived in the 1800's. Who knew that he lived back then? I too, thought board games were popular in the mid 1900's. You learn something every day!!
Hi Abi!
My in-laws from Texas introduced us to Skip-Bo. I've forgotten how to play. They also love dominoes and when they visit, we play with them.
Welcome to the "Gamers" Club!!
You play all the old standbys! I still love Clue!
Catch Phrase is sorta like Password, but with the added element of a timer and passing it on without getting caught. It's a blast. Your kids would like it!
Hi Charlene! Well, right now we seem to be into Wii nascar racing and bowling LOL, although we did Monopoly on it and I lost badly.
But we have loved Uno, Rumi-cubes, and Sorry. Clue was a biggie when the kids were younger. And my DIL and I have played chess a couple of times (I'm horrendous)… I must confess I have never played Yahtze =(
Thanks for the fun post!
LuAnn Morgan
My husband and I have a regular Yahtzee rivalry and play almost every night! Every now and then, we thrown in Scrabble, Battleship, Parchessi or Sorry. We don't watch that much TV and would rather play a game in the evening or curl up and read our books.
The children played all the usual board games (Clue,
Monopoly, Checkers, Chinese Checkers, etc.) For the adults, it was bridge or my favorite, Canasta. Honey's favorite was chess, at which I was absolutely horrible!
I thought of another game we love. It's Mexican Train. It's a form of dominoes. We can play that for hours.
Charlene, I'm happy to report my mom didn't choke on the dice. She *did* have to spit it out in front of everyone. By that time, we were rolling with laughter. I don't recall who won the game, but we all won big in the memory department.
You inspired me to google "Rail Baron." Fascinating story! The board game went out of production around 2000, mostly because new users clamored for an online version. That's just not the same! Old copies show up on eBay, and there's a group of afficionadoes who play annually in Baltimore.
I haven't played for a long time. I used to like African Star, Monopoly, Throw Away a Million (not sure if it's called that in English) and Draughts.
Elizabeth Ludwig
Our family LOVES to play games. I forgot how much until our most recent hurricane left us without lights (and TV). The kids were actually disappointed when the power came back on.
As a kid, I played a ton of games… but for quite awhile now, I have not. I loved LIFE, CLUE, UNO, gee so many more. I still have them, they are just buried somewhere…
Hi Tanya,
Oh, I'm going to have to change that. We'll play Yahtzee one day!! We've played the Wii, but I'm horrible, of course our younger generation are so good at it!! I'm only half bad at bowling!
Happy Friday with Carter!
Vicki – oh thank goodness your mom was okay. I just told my hubby that story and we chuckled! What a funny memory! Those are the best.
I've played Mexcian TRain too!! Our neighbors brought it over and it's a different take on dominoes. Doesn't the Train whistle or something?
Oh, you know the games online just aren't as much fun. It's the bonding and interacting with friends playing a board game that makes it fun!
I hear you about Chess. My hubby won chess tournaments and had electronic chess games he'd play against the computer. I don't even try to outsmart him. Not my game, for sure!
Hi LuAnn,
How great that you play every night with your hubby! I almost forgot about Battleship! I used to play that with my son!
Hi Minna,
You have a variety of games there, that I haven't heard of. Draughts and African Star sound interesting! I guess Monopoly is the universal game! Everyone seems to know that one!
Maybe you should unbury your games and see if you still enjoy them!! There's so many fun ones out there!
Hi Elizabeth –
I can just imagine all of you playing board games by candlelight during the hurricane! Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
Draughts and African Star:

If I could only make a career out of playing games lol. I would play all the time if I had someone to play with (so of course there are my computer games when there isn't lol). Uno, Phase 10 and Skippo are all favorites. At the moment I'm in a card club that plays a card game called sock and shoe – reminds me of canasta. You play with partners and it takes as many decks as there are people. It's very addictive lol.
My family plays pinochle. The games can get quite rowdy!
Hi Jeanne –
Oh, I've heard of that game, sock and shoe. I think I might have played it once upon a time! How fun to be in a card club!!
Hi Estella,
You made me laugh. A friendly game of pinochle gets rowdy? Must be lots of competitors in the group!!
I love to play Dominoes. I have a box of the double twelves and they are a blast to play. It takes at lease four players to have a good game. When I lived at home we would play Rook of Aggravation and it was a lot of fun. My husband is not much of a gammer, so he kind of bums things out when someone else wants to play. My so also love to play Dominoes.
Hi Quilt Lady,
I bought my father-in-law the Double Twelves for a birthday and we all played. That was a lot of fun. There seems to be so many variations of dominoes. Sorry your DH isn't into games.
When my kids were in grade school Sorry, Life, chinese checkers,Battleship, and Monopoly were their favorite board games. Uno was their favorite card came and they still like it. We enjoyed Trivial pursuit when it came out and got a junior version so the kids could play too. When they were in high school, Scrabble and Tripoly were added. When we get together with our adult children now we play Scrabble or Sequence. My husband loves chess but I am hopeless. Luckily our grandson is interested and is learning. We used to play cards (canasta, hearts and gin rummy) but play mostly board games now. I have done game days at our library and chinese checkers have been really popular with all ages. Risk is really popular. I got a Lord of the Rings version this past year. They want to do chess, but there is no one to teach. I have lots of games I've brought from home to let them try out.
Card Games: Sheephead, Up & Down the River, Gin, Golf, Crazy Eights, Hearts, Gin Rummy,War
Board Games: Rummikub, Risk, Monopoly, Mystery Mansion, Clue, Discovery, Mall Madness
Thanks Minna,
I checked the games out.
Draughts looks a little complicated! It's great to learn about games played in different parts of the world.
Hi Laurie G – I don't think I've heard of Sheephead, but all the others I have. Never played Mall Madness though!
Hi Patricia
Wow, you've played a whole lot of games! I remember playing Chinese checkers on a star shaped board, but I can't recall how it was actually played. A Lord of the Rings version of Risk sounds like fun!!

Saltcoats homeless shelter now set to become homes for elderly
By Andy Hamilton AndyHamilton89 Reporter
saltcoats homeless
FORMER homeless shelter in Saltcoats is now set to be demolished to make way for new homes for elderly residents.
Plans for the demolition of the supported accommodation unit and housing association flats 25 Green Street And 13-15 Vernon Street were approved late last month.
The former shelter will be replaced with a new flatted block with 24 amenity/elderly residential flats, with a mix of one/two bedroom properties
The former Quarrier's and Simon Community hostel closed its doors in 2019.
Planning documents state: "The proposed housing mix reflects Cunninghame Housing Association's desire to provide flats for elderly and amenity tenants in a central and accessible location.
"Prior to the commencement of works on site, the existing building will be demolished.
"Consideration was given to the re-use of the existing building however the option to rebuild is seen as a means of achieving greater density on the site and realising an enhanced architectural quality and sustainable performance that will benefit the site.
"As part of the demolition works, any asbestos will be removed."

Modi govt resolves to make changes in IPC, CrPC: Amit Shah
In his address at the DGPs/IGPs conference, Amit Shah announced the central government's plans to set up an All India Police University and All India Forensic Science University, with affiliated colleges in the states.
New Delhi/Pune
UPDATED: December 8, 2019 14:50 IST
Amit Shah's statement came days after the MHA asked all state governments to send their suggestions for undertaking a major overhaul and recasting of the IPC and CrPC. (File photo: PTI)
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has asserted the NDA government's resolve to amend the IPC and the CrPC to make them more conducive for the country, amid the debate on delay in criminal justice delivery system, especially in heinous crimes like rape.
Shah's statement came days after the Ministry of Home Affairs asked all state governments to send their suggestions for undertaking a major overhaul and recasting of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) so that it will reflect the aspirations of a modern democracy and provide for speedy justice.
At the 54th conference of the Directors General of Police and Inspectors General of Police, held in Pune, "the home minister underscored the government's resolve to initiate changes in the IPC and CrPC to make them more conducive to today's democratic set up", an official statement said.
There have been debates in different forums in recent times over delay in delivering punishment in heinous crimes, including the infamous 2012 Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case, where the convicts were yet to be given punishment.
However, at a function in Jodhpur, Chief Justice of India SA Bobde said on Saturday that justice can never be instant and "loses its character if it becomes revenge".
CJI Bobde's comments came a day after all four accused in the rape and murder of a young veterinarian in Hyderabad were shot dead by police in an "encounter".
Last week, Union Minister of State for Home, G Kishan Reddy had said the IPC and the CrPC will be amended to expedite trial in grave criminal offences such as rape and murder.
In his address at the DGPs/IGPs conference, Shah announced the central government's plans to set up an All India Police University and All India Forensic Science University, with affiliated colleges in the states.
The home minister termed the annual conference a 'Vaicharik Kumbh', wherein the top policemen of the country come together on one platform and formulate policy decisions pertaining to national security.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla and top police officers of the country attended the three-day event, which concludes on Sunday.
Shah appreciated the police forces across the country for their good work and paid homage to police martyrs.
The conference has deliberated on a gamut of policing and security issues, including border protection, the linkage of narcotics and terrorism, upgradation of forensic capability, threat from radicalisation in the digital era, and evidence-based policing, the statement said.
Prior to the conference, committees of DGPs were established to formulate the contours of presentations, which were on contemporary security threats. Additionally, during the conference, break-out sessions were held to further refine policy issues.
While specific cases were highlighted, roadmaps for implementation of key recommendations were also framed, the statement said.
The home minister also awarded trophies for best police stations to the Station House Officers of Aberdeen (Andaman and Nicobar Islands), Balasinore (Gujarat) and AJK Burhanpur (Madhya Pradesh) police stations.
As part of the Prime Minister's vision for bringing policing closer to people, since 2014, the DGPs/IGPs conference has been taken to various parts of the country, including Guwahati (Assam), Kevadia (Gujarat) and Tekenpur (Madhya Pradesh) in the past.
The format of the conference has also undergone significant changes in terms of duration and the presence of the prime minister and the home minister, it said.

Caboolture Hospital is starting a new multidisciplinary Chronic Wound Clinic for local patients.
This is a trial service for six months with Caboolture Hospital Director of Surgery, Mr Brian Kirkby, starting in mid-February.
Caboolture Hospital Executive Director Dr Lance Le Ray said a recent review of surgical services had identified that access to care for people with chronic wounds could be enhanced.
"Chronic, non-healing wounds can have a major impact on a patient's quality of life and we want to support these patients at Caboolture Hospital," Dr Le Ray said.
Dr Le Ray said patients would require a referral from their GP to the Caboolture General Surgery Service which identified the patient was for the chronic wound service.
"Referrals will be accepted for patients who have a chronic, non-healing wound of more than six months and which is not responding to current treatment, such as a lower limb ulcer," Dr Le Ray said.
are patients whose GP or health care provider/s are not able to be primary care giver/s or follow the wound management plan of care, which will be provided after the patient's appointment.
For more information, contact the Caboolture Hospital Clinical Care Coordinator. Phone 5433 8955.

Die Communauté intercommunale pour le développement de la région et des agglomérations de Loudéac (CIDERAL) ist ein ehemaliger französischer Gemeindeverband mit der Rechtsform einer Communauté de communes im Département Côtes-d'Armor, dessen Verwaltungssitz sich im Ort Loudéac befand. Sein Einzugsgebiet lag im Süden des Départements. Der am 1. Januar 1994 gegründete Gemeindeverband bestand aus 33 Gemeinden.

Historische Entwicklung
Die Communauté de communes wurde in kleinerem Umfang am 1. Januar 1994 gegründet und zählte lange 21 Mitgliedsgemeinden. Am 1. Januar 2014 erreichte sie den heutigen Umfang, als Gemeinden aus verschiedenen anderen Communauté de communes hinzukamen. Es waren dies aus der Communauté de communes du Pays de Corlay Corlay, Le Haut-Corlay, Plussulien, Saint-Martin-des-Prés und Saint-Mayeux, aus der Communauté de communes du Pays d'Uzel-près-l'Oust Allineuc, Saint-Hervé und Uzel, drei der fünf Gemeinden der Communauté de communes Guerlédan Mûr-de-Bretagne (Caurel, Saint-Gilles-Vieux-Marché, Saint-Guen) und die Gemeinde Langast aus der Communauté de communes du Pays de Moncontour.

Mit Wirkung vom 1. Januar 2017 fusionierte der Gemeindeverbände mit der Communauté de communes Hardouinais Mené und bildete so die Nachfolgeorganisation Loudéac Communauté – Bretagne Centre.

Aufgaben des Gemeindeverbands
Da die Mehrzahl der Gemeinden sehr klein war und Bürgermeister (Maires) im Nebenamt hatten, war die Communauté für verschiedene Aufgaben der beteiligten Gemeinden zuständig. Es bestanden vom Präsidenten und von Vizepräsidenten des Gemeindeverbands geführte Kommissionen (Wirtschaft; Kommunikation (Öffentlichkeitsarbeit); Finanzen, Markt und Arbeit; Umweltschutz, Landwirtschaft und Raumplanung; Tourismus und Erhalt von Kulturgütern; Sport; Wohnungsbau; Kultur), welche übergemeindliche Aufgaben leisteten.

Comfort food deserves every bit of solace and satisfaction its name implies. This is the goal behind Gourmet Walks' newest Hayes Valley tour partner, Corridor, which transforms home-cooked classics into upscale eats, all with a laid-back dining experience. In a way, its quintessential San Francisco, a city home to both numerous top chefs and the originator of casual fashion—Levi's. Here, you can indulge in a rich black truffle butter-infused risotto, a flaky vegetable pot pie, or a heaping bowl of gruyere-crusted French onion soup without worrying about any judgments over loosening up that belt.
Corridor is the latest venture from the Hi Neighbor Hospitality Group, who also runs Fat Angel (a cozy, candlelit hot spot located around the corner from famous music venue The Fillmore), Stones Throw (a relaxed, minimalist gem atop Russian Hill), and Trestle (a prix-fixe post-work favorite in Jackson Square). Each of their restaurants aims to serve up imaginative, refined modern American fare without a dash of pretension.
It's the kind of vibe needed in San Francisco's civic and cultural heart. Within blocks of Corridor, you'll find City Hall, Twitter's headquarters, and the homes to the San Francisco Symphony, Jazz, Opera, and Ballet. Such local clientele could use a carefree refuge to unwind. At Corridor you're free to choose your adventure: at the walk-up counter and communal tables on the ground-floor café or in the more intimate dining room upstairs.
From breakfast to dinner, the menu is jam-packed with American-style comforts, spun with a sophisticated flair. Even a sensible morning option like steel-cut oatmeal is spiked with a sweet surprise in its brown sugar crumble and candied walnut topping. Or you can simply throw all caution (and calories) to the wind and savor that butter fried pancake or, better yet, the Corridor Cruffin, a savory twist on the croissant-muffin hybrid made with gruyere, prosciutto, and chive.
An impressive array of shareable starters, soups, salads, sandwiches, and full entrees round out the lunch and dinner menus. On our Hayes Valley tour, you'll get a chance to try a few of Corridor's most noteworthy starters, including the falafel croquettes—which manage to be crisp, moist, and light at once—the spicy meatballs lightly submerged in a fresh tomato sauce, and maybe even their decadent, cheddar-y spin on monkey bread.
Bigger appetites will find plenty of bite in rotating dishes like the Garganelli Bolognese with its southern Italian kick, and the juicy half roast chicken paired with leek bread pudding. You can also order a few specialties from Hi Neighbor's other locales. For brunch or dinner, get Stone Throw's Da Burga, a cheddar cheeseburger loaded up with pickled slaw and a "secret sauce." At lunch, opt for Fat Angel's sizable kale salad—the fresh baby greens balance out the devilish combination of chicken, bacon, marcona almonds, parmesan, and bread crumbs.
Those looking for a quicker fix can pick up one of Corridor Café's specialty coffee drinks using L.A.-based Lamill Coffee, alongside pastries by East Bay bakery Firebrand, and house-made goodies that are "tailor-made to grab and go." Indeed, comfort food should never give in to the constraints of time.
Stop by the café or restaurant, located at 100 Van Ness Ave., or book our Hayes Valley tour to sample a few of Corridor's top specialties, along with plenty more neighborhood favorites.

The cardiac cycle is the performance of the human heart from the beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next. It consists of two periods: one during which the heart muscle relaxes and refills with blood, called diastole, following a period of robust contraction and pumping of blood, called systole. After emptying, the heart relaxes and expands to receive another influx of blood returning from the lungs and other systems of the body, before again contracting to pump blood to the lungs and those systems. A normally performing heart must be fully expanded before it can efficiently pump again. Assuming a healthy heart and a typical rate of 70 to 75 beats per minute, each cardiac cycle, or heartbeat, takes about 0.8 second to complete the cycle.
There are two atrial and two ventricle chambers of the heart; they are paired as the left heart and the right heart—that is, the left atrium with the left ventricle, the right atrium with the right ventricle—and they work in concert to repeat the cardiac cycle continuously (see cycle diagram at right margin). At the start of the cycle, during ventricular diastole–early, the heart relaxes and expands while receiving blood into both ventricles through both atria; then, near the end of   ventricular diastole–late, the two atria begin to contract (atrial systole), and each atrium pumps blood into the ventricle below it. During ventricular systole the ventricles are contracting and vigorously pulsing (or ejecting) two separated blood supplies from the heart—one to the lungs and one to all other body organs and systems—while the two atria are relaxed (atrial diastole). This precise coordination ensures that blood is efficiently collected and circulated throughout the body.

The mitral and tricuspid valves, also known as the atrioventricular, or AV valves, open during ventricular diastole to permit filling. Late in the filling period the atria begin to contract (atrial systole) forcing a final crop of blood  into the ventricles under pressure—see cycle diagram. Then, prompted by electrical signals from the sinoatrial node, the ventricles start contracting (ventricular systole), and as back-pressure against them increases the AV valves are forced to close, which stops the blood volumes in the ventricles from flowing in or out; this is known as the isovolumic contraction stage.

Due to the contractions of the systole, pressures in the ventricles rise quickly, exceeding the pressures in the trunks of the aorta and the pulmonary arteries and causing the requisite valves (the aortic and pulmonary valves) to open—which results in separated blood volumes being ejected from the two ventricles. This is the ejection stage of the cardiac cycle; it is depicted  (see circular diagram) as the ventricular systole–first phase followed by the ventricular systole–second phase. After ventricular pressures fall below their peak(s) and below those in the trunks of the aorta and pulmonary arteries, the aortic and pulmonary valves close again—see, at the right margin, Wiggers diagram, blue-line tracing.

Now follows the isovolumic relaxation, during which pressure within the ventricles begin to fall significantly, and thereafter the atria begin refilling as blood returns to flow into the right atrium (from the vena cavae) and into the left atrium (from the pulmonary veins). As the ventricles begin to relax, the mitral and tricuspid valves open again, and the completed cycle returns to ventricular diastole and a new "Start" of the cardiac cycle.

Throughout the cardiac cycle, blood pressure increases and decreases. The movements of cardiac muscle are coordinated by a series of electrical impulses produced by specialised pacemaker cells found within the sinoatrial node and the atrioventricular node. Cardiac muscle is composed of myocytes which initiate their internal contractions without applying to external nerves—with the exception of changes in the heart rate due to metabolic demand.

In an electrocardiogram, electrical systole initiates the atrial systole at the P wave deflection of a steady signal; and it starts contractions (systole).

The cardiac cycle and Wiggers diagram

The cardiac cycle involves four major stages of activity: 1) "Isovolumic relaxation", 2) Inflow, 3) "Isovolumic contraction", 4) "Ejection". (See Wiggers diagram, which presents the stages, label-wise, in 3,4,1,2 order, left-to-right.) Moving from the left along the Wiggers diagram shows the activities within four stages during a single cardiac cycle. (See the consecutive panels labeled, at bottom-right, "Diastole" then "Systole").

Stages 1 and 2 together—"Isovolumic relaxation" plus Inflow (equals "Rapid inflow", "Diastasis", and "Atrial systole")—comprise the ventricular "Diastole" period, including atrial systole, during which blood returning to the heart flows through the atria into the relaxed ventricles. Stages 3 and 4 together—"Isovolumic contraction" plus "Ejection"—are the ventricular "Systole" period, which is the simultaneous pumping of separate blood supplies from the two ventricles, one to the pulmonary artery and one to the aorta. Notably, near the end of the "Diastole", the atria begin contracting, then pumping blood into the ventricles; this pressurized delivery during ventricular relaxation (ventricular diastole) is called the atrial systole, aka atrial kick.

The time-wise increases and decreases of the heart's blood volume (see Wiggers diagram), are also instructive to follow. The red-line tracing of "Ventricular volume" provides an excellent track of the two periods and four stages of one cardiac cycle. Starting with the Diastole period: the low-volume plateau of "Isovolumic relaxation" stage, followed by a rapid rise and two slower rises, all components of the "Inflow stage"—increasing to the high-volume plateau of the "Isovolumic contraction" stage; (find the label at left side of diagram). Then, the Systole, including the high "Isovolumic contraction" stage to the rapid decrease in blood volume (i.e., the vertical drop of the red-line tracing) which signifies the emptying of the ventricles during the "Ejection" stage of the completed cycle—all equal to one heartbeat.

Notes:

Stages 1, 2a, and 2b together comprise the "Diastole" period; stages 3 and 4 together comprise the "Systole" period.

+ based on Ganong

# Rapid-filling inflow produced by atrial systole during "ventricular diastole–late"

* Atrioventricular (AV) valves= tricuspid valve; mitral valve

† Semilunar valves= pulmonary valve; aortic valve

The closure of the aortic valve causes a rapid change in pressure in the aorta called the incisura. This short sharp change in pressure is rapidly attenuated down the arterial tree. The pulse wave form is also reflected from branches in the arterial tree and gives rise to a dicrotic notch in main arteries. The summation of the reflected pulse wave and the systolic wave may increase pulse pressure and help tissue perfusion. With increasing age, the aorta stiffens and can become less elastic which will reduce peak pulse in the periphery.

Physiology

The heart is a four-chambered organ consisting of right and left halves, called the right heart and the left heart. The upper two chambers, the left and right atria, are entry points into the heart for blood-flow returning from the circulatory system, while the two lower chambers, the left and right ventricles, perform the contractions that eject the blood from the heart to flow through the circulatory system. Circulation is split into pulmonary circulation—during which the right ventricle pumps oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs through the pulmonary trunk and arteries; or the systemic circulation—in which the left ventricle pumps/ejects newly oxygenated blood throughout the body via the aorta and all other arteries.

Heart electrical conduction system

In a healthy heart all activities and rests during each individual cardiac cycle, or heartbeat, are initiated and orchestrated by signals of the heart's electrical conduction system, which is the "wiring" of the heart that carries electrical impulses throughout the body of cardiomyocytes, the specialized muscle cells of the heart. These impulses ultimately stimulate heart muscle to contract and thereby to eject blood from the ventricles into the arteries and the cardiac circulatory system; and they provide a system of intricately timed and persistent signaling that controls the rhythmic beating of the heart muscle cells, especially the complex impulse-generation and muscle contractions in the atrial chambers. The rhythmic sequence (or sinus rhythm) of this signaling across the heart is coordinated by two groups of specialized cells, the sinoatrial (SA) node, which is situated in the upper wall of the right atrium, and the atrioventricular (AV) node located in the lower wall of the right heart between the atrium and ventricle. The sinoatrial node, often known as the cardiac pacemaker, is the point of origin for producing a wave of electrical impulses that stimulates atrial contraction by creating an action potential across myocardium cells.

Impulses of the wave are delayed upon reaching the AV node, which acts as a gate to slow and to coordinate the electrical current before it is conducted below the atria and through the circuits known as the bundle of His and the Purkinje fibers—all which stimulate contractions of both ventricles. The programmed delay at the AV node also provides time for blood volume to flow through the atria and fill the ventricular chambers—just before the return of the systole (contractions), ejecting the new blood volume and completing the cardiac cycle. (See Wiggers diagram: "Ventricular volume" tracing (red), at "Systole" panel.)

Diastole and systole in the cardiac cycle

Cardiac diastole is the period of the cardiac cycle when, after contraction, the heart relaxes and expands while refilling with blood returning from the circulatory system. Both atrioventricular (AV) valves open to facilitate the 'unpressurized' flow of blood directly through the atria into both ventricles, where it is collected for the next contraction. This period is best viewed at the middle of the Wiggers diagram—see the panel labeled "Diastole". Here it shows pressure levels in both atria and ventricles as near-zero during most of the diastole. (See gray and  light-blue tracings labeled "Atrial pressure" and "Ventricular pressure"—Wiggers diagram.) Here also may be seen the red-line tracing of "Ventricular volume", showing increase in blood volume from the low plateau of the "Isovolumic relaxation" stage to the maximum volume occurring in the "Atrial systole" sub-stage.

Atrial systole

Atrial systole is the contracting of cardiac muscle cells of both atria following electrical stimulation and conduction of electrical currents across the atrial chambers (see above, Physiology). While nominally a component of the heart's sequence of systolic contraction and ejection, atrial systole actually performs the vital role of completing the diastole, which is to finalize the filling of both ventricles with blood while they are relaxed and expanded for that purpose. Atrial systole overlaps the end of the diastole, occurring in the sub-period known as ventricular diastole–late (see cycle diagram). At this point, the atrial systole applies contraction pressure to 'topping-off' the blood volumes sent to both ventricles; this atrial kick closes the diastole immediately before the heart again begins contracting and ejecting blood from the ventricles (ventricular systole) to the aorta and arteries.

Atrial kick is absent or disrupted if there is loss of normal electrical conduction in the heart, such as caused by  atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or heart block. Atrial kick may also be degraded by any deterioration in the condition of the heart, such as "stiff heart" found in patients with diastolic dysfunction.

Ventricular systole

Ventricular systole is the contractions, following electrical stimulations, of the ventricular syncytium of cardiac muscle cells in the left and right ventricles. Contractions in the right ventricle provide pulmonary circulation by pulsing oxygen-depleted blood through the pulmonary valve then through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. Simultaneously, contractions of the left ventricular systole provide systemic circulation of oxygenated blood to all body systems by pumping blood through the aortic valve, the aorta, and all the arteries. (Blood pressure is routinely measured in the larger arteries off the left ventricle during the left ventricular systole).

The heart of your home also called the yin yang point, is very important for good feng shui of your space, as well as for your own health. When the heart of the home is located in a challenging space, there is the potential of negative energy being created and constantly re-circulated in your home. To help you avoid this scenario, we have compiled a series of feng shui tips for most challenging locations of the heart of a home—from a heart in the closet to a heart in the wall.
The heart of the home or office—in fact, the heart of any space—is super important in feng shui. If a home (or an office) has a heart that is in a challenging space, this challenging quality of feng shui energy will be "fed" to all other bagua areas of the space. Why? Because all bagua areas take their nourishment, energetically speaking, from the heart, or the center of the home.
How Big Is the Heart of My Home?
The feng shui bagua center of the house is a strong energy vortex with an activity that can be compared to a human's heart. Just like a healthy functioning of the heart is crucial for the health of all body organs and parts, the same applies to a home, feng shui-wise. The comparison with the human heart can be used to emphasize the next two important feng shui points.
You might be surprised to find that the center of your home is in an inauspicious location such as a bathroom, or a wall, or maybe a closet. Do not be upset if this is so, just know that there are always good feng shui solutions to help you create better energy. The first thing to understand is that the heart or the center of the home is not a point in space, but rather a radiating, pulsating energy vortex. Its strength depends on.
A bathroom in the center of the house is usually considered bad feng shui. As the center of the house is the heart of the space in feng shui, also called the yin-yang point; you usually want to have it open, light and with a sense of beauty to it. Feng Shui-wise, the center of your house is also.
A staircase in the center of a home or office is not ideal feng shui. The negative effects of a center staircase are stronger in a home than in a business space. However, as always with feng shui applications, there are many details to take into consideration, and a center staircase is no exception. Having a staircase in the center can have very strong negative effects in one home while being.
We have many tips to help you deal with the challenging location of the heart of a home in a closed. Learn to neutralize the potentially negative impact of a closet in the center of the home.


A shot late in Andrey Zvyagintsev's Loveless encapsulates both the film's overarching message and its author's bludgeoning directorial approach. One of the protagonists, Zhenya (Maryana Spivak), gets on a treadmill and gradually increases its speed, quickening her steps until she reaches a steady running pace. Just in case we had yet to clock that the characters are supposed to be representative of Russian society – be it from the transparently schematic script, or the fact that one of the film's opening images is a lengthy static shot offering little to look at other than a Russian flag hanging off the side of a building – Zhenya wears a tracksuit emblazoned with the country's national colors and "RUSSIA" printed in giant letters across her chest. Zvyangintev frames her from the front, holding the shot for several seconds. Then, once he's made sure everyone's had sufficient time to decipher his complex visual metaphor about a country running forward but getting nowhere, he initiates a slow track towards Zhenya until she's framed in a tight facial close-up, her dejected stare directed straight at the camera. I'm not 100% sure here, but I assume we're supposed to feel implicated.
Although Leviathan, Zvyagintsev's previous and far-superior effort, was hardly a masterclass in nuance, a palpable sense of empathy and flashes of humor largely compensated for its lack of subtlety. These are sorely lacking in Loveless. The film's title may refer to the protagonists' marriage and its symbolic connotations, but it's also a perfect description of Zvyagintsev's treatment of his subject matter. Characters seldom comes as despicable as Zhenya and her husband, Boris (Alexey Rozin). They're introduced at film's start, during which they're already mid-divorce, engaging in a vicious screaming match, each trying to outdo the other in proving who's more resentful of their twelve-year-old son Alyosha's (Matvey Novikov) existence while the child hides in the next room, listening to it all and crying his eyes out. Not long after, Alyosha disappears – this goes unnoticed for almost two days; both Zhenya and Boris were busy hanging out with their respective lovers – and, after recruiting the help of a private agency, the parents start a long search for the boy.
Loveless improves significantly once the search mission gets underway, and, thankfully, this makes up the bulk of the film's running time. By meticulously following every step taken in such an occurrence, Zvyagintsev slowly and expertly builds up tension and foreboding regarding Alyosha's fate. And, as the chances of finding him dwindle, his odious parents are gradually beaten into contrition, growing more recognizably human – and a lot more bearable. The widescreen lensing by Zvyagintsev's regular cinematographer Mikhail Krichman is consistently stunning, and the tableaux he crafts from sights such as a group of red-vested men combing an autumnal forest or systematically searching through derelict buildings are nothing short of breathtaking.
In the press notes to Loveless, Zvyagintsev shares that Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage was one of his main influences in making this film. Considering that the mysterious disappearance of a central character initiates a slow-burn existential crisis for the middle-class protagonists, it's safe to assume Antonioni's L'Avventura was also a point of reference. However, when an epilogue shows this crisis to have had no consequences whatsoever (remember the treadmill?), the ordeal of the search comes to represent but a lengthy and borderline sadistic come-uppance. The bitter taste left by this realization has no parallel in the work of Bergman or Antonioni, neither of whom peddled such haughty, facile, and ultimately futile didacticism.
Loveless premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and will be released in the U.S. by Sony Pictures Classics on February 16. See our coverage below.

It's safe to say that nearly all weddings today incorporate technology -to some extent.
From behind the scenes wedding preparations, to virtual guests, it's amazing what you can do with a computer or a smartphone!
Technology allows us to connect with others, and share information faster than ever before, and it has had an especially big impact on weddings.
Read on to see some of the fantastic ways that technology is changing modern weddings.
Many couples today are opting for paperless invitations. Love them or hate them, paperless invitations have a number of things going for them; they save time, and loads of money. Traditional paper wedding announcements can be surprisingly costly, and it takes a lot time to address and stuff all those envelopes. Virtual wedding announcements have come a long way in recent years, with companies like Paperless Post offering beautiful, and tastefully designed virtual wedding announcements.
Social media is a great way to keep guests up-to-date on all of the details leading up to your big day. Creating a group on Facebook and inviting all of the guests allows you to easily notify guests of any changes. This makes updating relatives much, much easier than making individual phone calls. Plus, there's no need to worry about "spamming" uninterested people with status updates. Keep your wedding-themed updates to the group, and allow interested guests to join.
You'd be hard pressed to find a bride-to-be who hasn't heard of Pinterest. Technology brings a plethora of information to browse through, and allows brides-to-be to collect and display images of their favorite cake designs, ideal wedding dresses, and various moss-covered decorations. Online wedding planning has to be one of the best things that technology has done for weddings. Once upon a time, couples-to-be had to order though magazines, or were forced to settle with what was available in town. Yikes! Bridal sites today can refer you to caterers, wedding suppliers, musicians, and venues, and your wedding options today are virtually limitless.
Thanks to Google, YouTube, and Spotify, there's never been an easier way to choose music for a wedding. You can look up music by genre, year, or similar artist, and can compile it all in in one place. When you have your playlist, use Spotify to download the music to a local playlist. This saves loads of time –and money, preventing you from buying music that's not usually sold on a per-track basis.
Online wedding registries are fun and simple to create. Creating a registry doesn't take more than a few clicks, and then you can have fun adding various "necessities" to your list. It's like a wish list –only better! Many guests actually prefer to gift using a wedding registry, since is takes the guess work out of gifting. They also allow your guests to refrain from purchasing you the obligatory toasters. It's a win-win situation for all!
Remember what it was like back in the days before online booking? Today, booking is easier and more efficient than ever before. Plus, booking online also allows you to compare rates and find the best deals. If you are having a destination wedding, or are simply trying to help coordinate travel for out of town guests, online booking is the way to go. This comes in handy when planning the honeymoon as well.
While it's always best if everyone's together, there are always guests who can't make it. Streaming your ceremony live allows out-of-towners to still be a part of your big day –from a distance. If live video streaming is a bit much, you could opt for a live photo stream for out of town guests to tap into. It's easy to set up! Simply open up a Sharypic account, and create your own album for your event. Then copy and paste two lines of code into your wedding blog or website. When your wedding guests upload their photos and tag them with your hashtag, your photos will appear in the live stream on your blog! It's a great way to allow of town guests a chance to see your wedding.
Wedding favors are a much-loved wedding tradition. While many couples send their guests off with home baked treats (which are always nice!) modern couples are choosing to present their guests with memories –in the form of personalized flash drives, or YouTube music videos –full of photos and footage from the big day.
With all of the different social media websites out there, it can be difficult to track down of all the photos that your guests take at your wedding. If you want to make sure you can collect all of those special images, you may want to consider setting up a wedding app which will collect all of the photos for you in one place. With Sharypic, all your guests have to do is download the app, or tag the photos with your hashtag when they upload them to their social media accounts. Your photos will then be curated in one place for you to look at later. It's a simple way to make sure you don't miss any photos from your special day.
Another great thing about Sharypic, is the live printing feature. This allows you to offer guests the chance to print their own photos of your wedding. This is a perfect way for friends and family to choose -and print- their favorite shots from your special day. All you need is a printer that's compatible with postcard format, and a Sharypic account, and you're ready to go!
So there you have it: nine ways that technology is changing weddings today.
From the planning process to the actual day, technology is changing weddings –for everyone involved. Sharing information with others is what it's all about, and thanks to technology, this is easier now than ever before!
We look forward to the future, where technology will undoubtedly be impacting other aspects of weddings and bringing changes to every sector of our lives.
Here's to a bright and happy future!
What do you think? What are some other ways that technology is changing modern weddings?


Two Palestinian teenagers, identified as cousins Taher Faysal Fannoun, 19, and Faysal Abd al-Minem Fannoun, 15, were shot and killed early Friday morning following an alleged attack on an Israeli soldier in Hebron.
Ma'an News Agency reported the the cousins allegedly attempted to stab a soldier in the face at a checkpoint in Tel Rumeida and that both were shot dead by Israeli soldiers on the scene.
The incident comes the day after a 21 year old Palestinian was shot dead in Jerusalem after stabbing an Israeli police officer near Damascus Gate.
Earlier Friday, a Palestinian man, identified as Mazin Hasan Ureiba, was shot and killed near the Hizma checkpoint after opening fire on Israeli soldiers.
Ureiba was a general intelligence officer in the Palestinian Authority.
More than 108 Palestinians have now been killed since Oct. 1, and at least 19 Israelis have been killed in the same period.

The World Today for July 27, 2022
Huffing and Puffing
Thailand recently decriminalized marijuana, becoming the first country in Asia to embrace a new attitude toward the plant that the locals refer to as ganja.
The Southeast Asian country will likely not become a pot-focused tourist haven anytime soon, however, the Washington Post cautioned. While marijuana is legal for medicinal and industrial uses, it has not been greenlit for recreational consumption. Smoking in public still carries a maximum sentence of a $700 fine and up to three months in jail.
Still, it seems as if the cat is out of the bag. In addition to folks selling weed-based curries on the street and the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine's recent publication of a cookbook detailing Thai recipes that feature ganja, as the Bangkok Post explained, smoking weed for fun is becoming more widespread.
Young people whose job opportunities dried up during the coronavirus pandemic have embraced the new industry, reported Al Jazeera. The keyword #saikiew, or "green way of life" in Thai, has become popular on social media platforms.
Decriminalization reverses Thailand's traditionally harsh anti-drug policies. In the past, the BBC wrote, Thai leaders zealously waged a war against drugs without thinking much about justice or human rights in the process. Drug trafficking could result in a death sentence, for example, a tradition that other countries in the region, including Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore, still uphold.
These shifts are occurring as Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha faced his fourth no-confidence motion in parliament as opposition parties continue to jockey for position ahead of an election next year. A retired army chief who assumed power eight years ago in a coup, according to Reuters, Prayuth has survived no-confidence votes before even as he now presides over a 17-party coalition. His critics say that he has failed to solve any problems, improve the country's economy or crack down on corruption.
Last year, the Thai economy expanded by 1.5 percent, the worst growth in Southeast Asia, Nikkei Asia reported. Those numbers illustrate how Prayuth has yet to make good on his pledge to boost growth so that Thailand might emerge from the so-called "middle-income trap" where rising costs and poor competitiveness prevent partially developed countries from transitioning into full-on affluent ones.
Prayuth survived the no-confidence vote Saturday. But he might not be so lucky when seeking to win a third term next year. The political climate in Thailand is favoring those who are advocating for change, the Kyodo News wrote.
In other words, smoke will only take them so far.
THE WORLD, BRIEFLY
Zimbabwe launched gold coins to be sold to the public this week, a move economists say is aimed at curbing soaring inflation that has eroded the value of the African country's unstable currency, Al Jazeera reported Tuesday.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe said the newly-minted Mosi-oa-Tunya – the local name for Victoria Falls – will have "liquid asset status" and can easily be converted to cash and can be used locally and internationally.
The central bank added that the coins can be used to make purchases in shops and as collateral for loans.
So far, it has distributed 2,000 coins to commercial banks. The first batch of the 22-carat coins was minted outside Zimbabwe but officials said they plan to produce them locally.
Their price will be decided by the rate of an ounce of gold on the international market plus five percent for coin production expenses. One Mosi-oa-Tunya was priced at $1,824 at the time of its introduction Monday.
Currently, trust in Zimbabwe's currency is low after many saw their savings wiped out following the 2008 hyperinflation period. In June, inflation rose to nearly 192 percent from 132 percent a month earlier.
Zimbabwe is experiencing an economic crisis marked by a sharp decline in industrial production, a quickly depreciating local currency and 90 percent unemployment. The African nation has considerable gold reserves and exporting the precious metal is one of Zimbabwe's main foreign currency earners.
Even so, gold smuggling remains a serious problem in the country, costing the state about 33 tons of gold annually.
Analyst Victor Bhoroma told Al Jazeera that the gold coins are a good idea "in terms of storing value," but cautioned that the strategy could be "a fundraising scheme to get US dollars from the market by the central bank."
Russia will withdraw from the International Space Station after 2024, a move that comes amid tensions between Moscow and Western nations over the war in Ukraine, Sky News reported.
Yuri Borisov, head of the state-controlled space corporation Roscosmos, confirmed Russia's departure Tuesday, adding that Moscow is now focusing on building its own orbital outpost.
Russian officials have been contemplating leaving the ISS since 2021 over concerns regarding the station's aging equipment and safety risks, according to the Washington Post.
But the exit comes amid an ongoing spat over sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine earlier this year. In April, Borisov's predecessor, Dmitry Rogozin, announced that Russia would halt cooperation on the ISS in response to Western sanctions, saying they were aimed at bringing "our country to its knees."
Despite heightened tensions, NASA and Roscosmos reached an agreement earlier this month to ensure that the ISS always has at least one American and one Russian on board to keep the station running smoothly.
Both parties also agreed to allow astronauts to continue using Russian rockets and for cosmonauts to use SpaceX starting in the fall to travel to the aging orbital station.
Meanwhile, NASA officials unveiled plans earlier this year to decommission the ISS in 2031. It said the laboratory would continue operating until 2030 but its long-term future is unsustainable.
The Right To Be Single
A Chinese court ruled against an unmarried woman who sought to freeze her eggs, a verdict that underscores the challenges women in China face in light of the country's strict regulation of families, Reuters reported Monday.
The case began in 2019 when plaintiff Teresa Xu sued a Beijing hospital for refusing to freeze her eggs because of her marital status.
She alleged that on her first visit the doctor had told her to have a child right away. On her second visit, he told her she could not proceed because she didn't have a marriage license, the Associated Press noted.
The hospital had also contended that freezing eggs has various health risks, adding that delayed pregnancy or single motherhood may lead to other social problems.
While Chinese law doesn't explicitly ban unmarried people from fertility treatments, such procedures are permitted exclusively for medical purposes, such as treating infertility or maintaining people's fertility before undergoing certain medical procedures. Chinese law allows couples to have three children.
Meanwhile, hospitals and other health institutions implement rules in a way that requires people to show marriage licenses.
The court sided with the hospital, saying it had not violated Xu's rights. She said she plans to appeal.
The proceedings gained national attention in China, where it is difficult for unmarried women who choose to delay childbirth to access public benefits, such as maternity leave or coverage for prenatal exams.
UKRAINE, BRIEFLY
European Union agreed to reduce their gas use by 15 percent between August and March in case Russia cuts off supplies, although some nations will be excluded from the agreement to prevent rationing, the BBC reported.
Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei visited Ukraine this week, becoming the first Latin American president to make the trip to the country since Russia invaded in February, Euronews wrote. Giammattei met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to express his solidarity with Ukraine's plight. Many Latin American leaders have avoided taking a stance on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, reflecting in some cases decades-old ties to Russia and in others a wariness of US foreign policy goals.
The Ukrainian government is facing criticism over its nationwide recruitment campaign, with critics saying it violates the country's own rules and that it sometimes drafts the unwilling while spurning the willing, according to the New York Times. A petition calling for a ban on summonses being issued at checkpoints, petrol stations, and other public locations has received more than 25,000 signatures from Ukrainians, the number required to force President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to respond. It requests he set up a transparent procedure for determining who can be called up to serve.
Hard-Headed
Scientists have long wondered how woodpeckers can withstand the catastrophic impact of their beaks on wood.
Previous studies have suggested that the bird's brain is protected because of a skull that acts as a cushion or a beak that absorbs force.
Now, a new research team is using high-speed video cameras to record woodpeckers in action to see what shields the birds' brains from impact, NPR reported.
In a new study, lead author Sam Van Wassenbergh and his team went to four different zoos in Europe to closely observe the high-impact pecking.
They wrote that the birds close their eyes at the moment of impact to avoid getting splinters. The woodpeckers are also very adept at maneuvering their beaks even when they became stuck in the wood.
Meanwhile, the team noted that the video evidence showed no sign that the avians' brains were cushioned.
"The way we see the head behaving is very rigid, like you would use a hammer hitting wood," explained Van Wassenbergh.
This means that the brain is repeatedly decelerating, which would result in a concussion in a human brain. Even after hundreds of blows in a single day, the woodpecker's brain remains unharmed.
The researchers suggested that this protection is caused by the very tiny size and weight of the woodpecker's brain – which is 700 times smaller than a human one.
"An animal that has a smaller size can withstand higher decelerations," Wassenbergh said. "That's a biomechanical law."

NISOC CEO: Flaring to stop in major Iranian oilfields in three years
vocaleurope.eu
An Iranian official said oilfields south of the country will stop wasting the flammable gas accompanying drilling operations in three years' time.
Ahmad Mohammadi, the CEO of the National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC), said on Sunday that flaring, the controversial practice of burning off gases through stacks at oilfields, will stop by 2022 in at least four locations in southern Iran, based on deals signed with two major Iranian companies, Press TV reported.
Mohammadi said the companies, namely, the Maroun Mechanic and Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company, have committed, as part of deals signed in the year to March 2019, to pipe the gases to nearby plants and refineries.
He said old flare stacks near Ahvaz, a major provincial capital in southwestern Iran, as well as in Aghajari, Gachsaran and Maroun, will be dismantled at the end of the projects.
The official said the projects would seriously improve energy efficiency at petrochemical facilities in southern Iran and would also help increase the production and storage of oil in the area.
He said talks were underway to carry out similar flaring projects in Masjed Soleyman, southwestern Iran, where some of the oldest Iranian oil facilities are located.
Iranian officials said last month that the country was planning to economically and technically benefit from a huge stock of flared gas that is currently wasted through stacks in refineries and oilfields.
Estimates suggest that there are about 16 billion cubic meters (over 52 billion cubic feet) of the gas that can be used for various other purposes, including power generation.
The implementation of flaring projects in Iran comes as the country faces an unprecedented wave of unilateral US sanctions on its oil and gas industry, limiting its ability to engage with foreign companies who have experience in the field.
In May 2018, President Donald Trump pulled the US out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed between Iran and the P5+1 in July 2015, and imposed Washington's unilateral sanctions on Tehran in two phases.

Empower announces construction of Jumeirah Village plant is 80% complete
First phase of plant expected to begin operations by the end of the year
The construction of a new district cooling plant at Jumeirah Village is 80% complete according to Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower). The plant is billed as the world's first unmanned and fully-automated district cooling plant and will have a capacity of 50,000 Refrigeration Tonnes once it is complete.
According to a statement, phase one of the plant is expected to be in operation by the end of the year and will begin serving customers in the Jumeirah Village area. The construction of the new plant is part of Empower's strategy to provide high quality and environmentally friendly district cooling services to its customers.
"The construction of the world's first unmanned district cooling plant is taking place, as per schedule. The new cooling plant will be connected to Empower's high tech Command Control Centre, which uses the Advanced SCADA system with a capacity to read two million units of data per minute, related to cooling towers, chillers, transformers and water supply," said Ahmad Bin Shafar, CEO of Empower.
The plant uses artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor and automatically adjust the inflow and outflow of chilled water, as well as thermal energy storage technology, which will optimise the use of on- and off-peak hours, and treated sewage effluent technology to protect natural resources, Empower said.
Shafar added, "The continuation in building the district cooling pipeline network in the Jumeirah Village area is also progressing, in parallel with the construction of the new plant. Empower adopted several sustainability strategies, mainly the UAE Vision 2021 and the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, which seeks to increase the contribution of clean energy in the total energy mix to 50%."

Marines finally getting a realistic force-on-force shooter for combat training
By Todd South
Within two years, Marines could finally see realistic shooting and effects when they go head to head with other services, allies or Marines in force-on-force training.
Marine Corps Systems Command recently announced a contract award to Saab Inc. for the service's Force-on-Force Training Systems-Next program.
The FoFTS-Next system will allow Marines to move away from decades of semi-accurate laser weapons systems that can often be defeated by standing behind a leafy shrub and cannot replicate the trajectories, drops, shooting experience or effects on target that are desperately needed for live training.
The Corps currently plans to buy 16 sets of the system and field them between 2023 and 2026 at all major bases, including Camp Pendleton, California; Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia; Japan and Guam.
Marines seek to improve, move beyond laser shooter simulators
Marines are looking to first upgrade and eventually replace laser shooting simulators.
But the first set is likely headed for the centerpiece of Marine Corps ground combat training: Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California.
Each of those individual sets should be able to handle an entirely kitted-up battalion. While early use will focus on the platoon and company level, the system will have the capacity for an entire battalion.
Current software focuses on service weapons already at hand, but developers can build in ways to simulate future systems, such as the Next Generation Combat Weapon and even support items such as mortars, loitering munitions, artillery, grenades and more.
The new system will also allow for real-world style target leading and weapons will show trajectory drop and other characteristics of shooting actual bullets.
"I think this is going to revolutionize the way we conduct force on force training," Col. Luis Lara, program manager for Marine Corps Systems Command training systems, told Marine Corps Times.
For decades, Marines and soldiers used the multiple integrated laser engagement system, or MILES. While cutting edge for its time, it was developed in the late 1970s. It did not have as accurate shooting or realistic factors that are essential for training good shooting and maneuver tactics and habits.
Upgrades included the instrumented tactical engagement simulation system, or ITESS. While more accurate, ITESS still fell short of Marine goals for fidelity to real-world scenarios.
Even something as simple as speed mattered. Lasers fired from ITESS or MILES instantaneously struck targets. There's a short, but very important, lag time when shooting a real firearm.
An added feature for the FoFTS-Next is a haptic wristwatch that will monitor if direct or indirect fire is coming toward the user, Lara said.
From a command and control perspective, the FoFTS-Next will also allow commanders and observers a clear view of what their Marines are doing.
In tests, the system could track the muzzle direction of Marines moving up floors of a building in an urban training site.
The system records, allowing for after-action reviews that units can take home with them from a training location to improve performance, Lara said.
And Marines quickly realize that this system is different, Lara said.
He shared an example of a platoon of Marines testing the system at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
That platoon had a fire team in a building trying to cross a danger area. With the old MILES or ITESS system, they knew the range and effectiveness of what they faced and crossed when they shouldn't have.
"Within five minutes, 75 percent of the platoon was dead," Lara said. "They had to regroup and try again. It caused them to say, 'no kidding,' we're going to have to do this the right way."
The Army is currently developing the integrated visual augmentation system, or IVAS, a do-it-all goggle that allows users to display multiple feeds of information and also use rapid target acquisition software that wirelessly links with a camera on their weapon.
That linkup allows users to see multiple views, picture in picture with the weapon's sight, full view like a standard night vision goggle and weapon's site view such as looking through an optic.
The colonel said that the Marines are closely aligned with the Army's IVAS work and see this system as complementary for training purposes, allowing shooters to connect the two at some point in future scenarios and development.
Lara said that Marines have been experimenting with and testing the system at multiple events over the past year. Those included a platoon-sized element from The Basic School, out of Quantico.
A separate event from August to September 2020 worked with 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, and 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, each of which provided an infantry company for force-on-force work.
The experiments originally were scheduled to begin in March 2020, but were delayed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Lara said.
The next steps include a potential contract award for a "live, virtual, constructed" environment that could bridge simulations like virtual reality, with the force-on-force trainer. That contract could be awarded by the end of 2021.

Maradona Still Wants Transfer
NAPLES, Italy —
Diego Maradona, in a weekly column published today carrying his byline, reaffirmed that he wants to leave Italy at the end of the current season to join an Argentine team.
"I want to transfer to Argentina, otherwise I might quit soccer," the Napoli forward said in the article written for the daily newspaper Roma.
The Argentine player denied that he has been negotiating his transfer to Olympique Marseille in France or to a Japanese team.
"Japan can be a longer-term possibility. . . . In Italy I have been treated badly, more than in any other country. I am tired and I want to leave. I want to negotiate an agreement with (Napoli's President Corrado) Ferlaino and leave Naples. Neapolitan fans can't hope I will stay here through 1993," Maradona wrote.
The 30-year-old Maradona, one of the world's most imaginative and highest-paid players, has received offers up to $20 million from foreign clubs should he succeed in breaking his contract.
