US Senate Fails to Pass Government Funding, Debt Ceiling Measures
The U.S. Senate failed Monday to pass measures to avert a partial government shutdown and prevent a federal default at the start of a crucial legislative week that is highlighting the challenges facing the sharply divided Congress.
Republican lawmakers voted to oppose the bills Monday evening, forcing Democrats to look for other ways to keep the government open beyond Thursday and to raise the debt ceiling before the government is expected to default on its loans sometime in late October or early November.
The near party-line vote failed 48-50. Democrats narrowly control both Houses of Congress, but under Senate rules, 60 out of 100 votes are needed to pass most legislation in that chamber.
Republicans have said they want Democrats to lift the debt limit on their own, saying they do not support the Democrats' multitrillion-dollar spending plans.
"We are not willing to help Democrats raise the debt ceiling while they write a reckless taxing and spending spree of historic proportions behind closed doors," Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor Monday.
Democrats say much of the nation's debt was incurred during the Trump administration. Historically, both parties have voted to raise the limit to prevent the United States from defaulting on its debts.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that the Republican action is "one of the most reckless and irresponsible votes I have seen take place in the Senate" and that "the Republican Party has solidified itself as the party of default."
McConnell said Republicans would support a bill funding the day-to-day operations of the government, which runs out of money after Thursday. Democrats, however, do not want to separate the government funding measure from the debt limit bill.
A White House statement late Monday said President Joe Biden spoke with Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about "the work being done by Democrats to avoid a breach of the United States' full faith and credit in the face of Republican obstruction and irresponsibility — GOP actions that show a lack of concern about our economic recovery."
In addition to the impasse on those measures, Congress is also at odds over a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill as well as a $3.5 trillion Democratic social spending and climate change bill.
The House of Representatives began debate Monday on the infrastructure bill ahead of a planned vote Thursday on the measure, which is a major part of President Joe Biden's domestic agenda.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the dates in a letter to Democratic lawmakers Sunday. In television interviews, she expressed confidence the bill would pass.
"Let me just say that we're going to pass the bill this week," Pelosi said on ABC's This Week.
The Senate approved the infrastructure plan in a vote last month that saw 19 Republicans join all 50 members of the Democratic caucus.
Progressive Democrats in the House, however, have tied the infrastructure bill to the larger $3.5 trillion social spending bill, which faces more opposition, including from some Senate Democrats who say they will not support that much spending.
House progressives say they won't vote for the infrastructure bill unless there is progress on the social spending bill, while Democratic moderates say they may not vote on the larger spending bill until the infrastructure bill passes.
Pelosi told ABC's This Week that the negotiations would certainly result in a lower price tag for the social spending bill, calling such a development "self-evident."
The $3.5 trillion proposal includes plans to provide universal prekindergarten instruction, free community college classes, expanded health care for older Americans, child care funding and money to combat the effects of climate change. It would also attempt to change immigration law and lower prescription drug prices.
The infrastructure spending, with nearly half of it in new government funding, would repair aging roads and bridges and expand broadband, pay for replacement of dangerous drinking-water systems that use lead pipes, add new sewer infrastructure, expand passenger rail and transit systems, and improve airports.

Philipp Anton Bartsch (ur. 12 grudnia 1742 we Wrocławiu, zm. 31 stycznia 1788 we Wrocławiu) – malarz niemiecki, aktywny głównie na Śląsku.

Twórczość artystyczna
Był synem malarza Philippa Bartscha. Tematyką jego prac były głównie krajobrazy oraz ilustracje ptaków i roślin; jest autorem ilustracji do pracy Antona Johanna Krockera (1744-1823) Flora Silesiana. Wiele jego prac posiadał królewski radca finansowy hr. von Reden. Jego prace przedstawiające śląskie zabytki stanowiły wzór dla powstających później rycin autorstwa Johana Balzera i Strahowskiego. Bartsch wykonywał również prace dekoracyjne, m.in. w rezydencjach rodu Hatzfeldów (Pałac Hatzfeldów we Wrocławiu) i Pachały (Pałac Wallenberg-Pachaly, plafon w Sali Owalnej) oraz w klasztorze Augustianów znajdującym się przy kościele Najświętszej Marii Panny na Piasku we Wrocławiu.

Though many songs have been written about the United Nations or on related themes, there is no official anthem or hymn for the Organization. One such song, or hymn, was written and performed at the United Nations on 24 October 1971, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the United Nations, by Catalonian maestro Pau Casals (known professionally as Pablo Casals). The words were written by poet W.H. Auden of the United Kingdom.
The two, though they had never met, were brought together in this unusual collaboration by then United Nations Secretary-General U Thant. For centuries, poets and musicians have sung in praise of war and celebrated victories in battles. U Thant was intrigued by the fact that there existed no hymn to peace. Casals was a personal friend of his, and when approached by Thant, he readily agreed to write the music. As the Secretary-General explained, the song was to be based on the preamble to the Charter of the United Nations. Although it would not be formally adopted as the official anthem of the United Nations, U Thant hoped it would be performed on appropriate occasions.
While Casals greatly liked the ideas contained in the preamble, there was no way he could put music to such a document. The task to write an appropriate poem, based on the theme of peace and ideals enshrined in the preamble, fell on W.H. Auden, then regarded as the greatest living English poet. When a representative of the Secretary-General approached the poet, he immediately agreed to write the poem. In three days' time, Auden finished writing "A Hymn to the United Nations", which was then set to music by Casals.
On 24 October 1971, the Orchestra of the Festival Casals, with Casals as conductor, presented the hymn in a première performance at UN headquarters.
(Despite the fact that the United Nations represents most of the world's nations and oversees affairs pertinent to the Earth as a whole, this unofficial anthem cannot be construed as an official anthem of either the UN or of the planet either.)
"Hymn to the United Nations"
First performed
Eagerly, musician.
Sweep your string,
So we may sing.
Elated, optative,
Our several voices
Interblending,
Playfully contending,
Not interfering
But co-inhering,
For all within
The cincture
of the sound,
Is holy ground
Where all are brothers,
None faceless Others,
Let mortals beware
Of words, for
With words we lie,
Can say peace
When we mean war,
Foul thought speak- fair
And promise falsely,
But song is true:
Let music for peace
Be the paradigm,
For peace means to change
At the right time,
as the World-Clock
Goes Tick- and Tock.
So may the story
Of our human city
Presently move
Like music, when
Begotten notes
New notes beget
Making the flowing
Of time a growing
Till what it could be,
At last it is,
Where even sadness
Is a form of gladness,
Where fate is freedom,
Grace and Surprise.

Q: Help With Dual Boot Ubuntu 14.1 and Windows 8.1 So here's my problem. I used YUMI from pendrivelinux.com, and I made a Ubuntu LiveCD. I tried manually and automatically partitioning, and I ran into many problems. After rebooting after installing (which went as smooth as can be as far as I can tell), all I get is a grub console/prompt, in which many commands don't seem to work. I know a common suggestion is to use boot-repair. But when I try to use it, it says that my PC is in Legacy mode, and I need it to be out of Legacy mode. However, I can't run my LiveCD when out of Legacy mode... So here is my problem. If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.

A: First, the Ubuntu images, when burned to a CD-R, should boot in either BIOS or EFI mode. If by "LiveCD" you actually mean a USB flash drive, you can copy the Ubuntu images directly (as in sudo dd if=imagefile.iso of=/dev/sdc, changing the source and destination as necessary) and it should boot in either BIOS or EFI mode. You can do this from your legacy-mode boot, if necessary. As oldfred says, there are many other Windows and Linux utilities that will help you create a USB flash drive from an Ubuntu image, so even if the "direct" approach doesn't work or is impractical for you, you can try another tool.
Second, you can probably get your existing installation working as follows:

*

*Download the USB flash drive or CD-R version of my rEFInd boot manager.

*Prepare a boot medium from said image.

*Boot rEFInd. (If you've not already done so, you'll need to disable Secure Boot.) It should show you a menu of boot options, including one or more Linux kernels.

*Boot Ubuntu from rEFInd. If you used default Ubuntu options, it should boot right up. If you created a separate /boot partition, though, you'll need to hit F2 or Insert twice and add a root= option pointing to your root filesystem.

*In Ubuntu, install any EFI boot loader for Linux that strikes your fancy. Two relatively easy options are:

*

*Install rEFInd by installing the Debian package or using the PPA referred to on the rEFInd downloads page. rEFInd will then become your default boot manager.

*Install and run the Boot Repair utility, which should install the EFI version of GRUB over the BIOS version you may already have; or which will (with luck) fix whatever misconfiguration of the EFI version you might be suffering.

A: The big mistake was trying to install OS in legacy mode. It have been said that it causes only more trouble.
Don't use YUMI or your Live CD wouldn't work with UEFI properly. Use Rufus instead.
I just updated this post. It might help you.

The event formed part of a programme organised by the Coast Guard Zone 1 High Command to seek companionship with local fishermen.
With practical and simple questions, the contest helped islander pupils understand the law on the sea and related legal documents.
After two years, the programme has brought legal knowledge as well as sharing to many coastal and island regions in the country, thus raising pupils' awareness on the role, position and potential of the national seas and islands, as well as the state's policies on the issue.

Record No: 141533
(As published by the Virginia Supreme Court)
In a declaratory judgment suit by two sons seeking a determination that their conduct did not trigger a "no contest" clause in their father's trust instrument, alleging that the trustee's contrary decision was without authority, contrary to the purposes of the trust and an abuse of discretion, judicial review of the trustee's decision is allowed pursuant to Virginia jurisprudence and Code § 64.2-703(B)(2). There was sufficient evidence for the court to find that the trustee's conclusion that the sons violated the no contest provision was not motivated by a desire to carry out the testator's intent, or to protect the beneficiaries, and was therefore done in bad faith. The record also supports a conclusion that letters sent by the sons did not interfere with the trustee's administration of the trust and should not have resulted in their disqualification as beneficiaries. The circuit court's judgment finding them and their descendants rightful beneficiaries of the trust is upheld because there was no challenge to the circuit court's primary holding that the no contest provision applied only to challenges directed against a later-amended document, while the sons' actions were directed only an earlier instrument; therefore there was no interference with or contest to the operative testamentary document. This alternative ground remains an independent ground for the circuit court's judgment. Accordingly, the circuit court's judgment awarding the sons attorneys' fees and costs is also affirmed.

It was a hugely productive year, in part because of the new work Picasso was creating for the retrospective, in part, it's claimed, because of his relationship with the 22-year-old ..."

Condylar Plate Fixation System Market
"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
Condylar Plate Fixation System Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Product (Straight Condylar Plate, Curved Condylar Plate), By Site (Humeral, Femoral, Mandibular, Tibial, Others), By End User (Hospitals, Orthopedic Clinics, Ambulance, Others) and Geography Forecast Till 2026
Region : Global | Report ID: FBI100843 | Status : Ongoing
Summary Table of Content
Condylar refers to the smooth rounded projection at the extremity of the bones, which forms an articulation or joint with other nearby bones and provides attachment to tendons. It is one of the important features of the bone and can be categorized into medial, lateral, mandibular condyle, occipital condyles, and condyle of the humerus. These are found in different shapes such as long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid.
Condylar plate fixation is a method used to fix the fracture of different condylar; the condylar plate is fixed by surgeons at the specific site of application. The condylar plate is designed depending on the site of the fracture. Rising incidences of sports injuries and an increase in a number of procedures are the major factors contributing to the demand of condylar fixation plate. Also, the launch of technically advanced products is expected to accelerate the growth in the condylar plate fixation system market.
To gain extensive insights into the market, Request for Customization
Rising incidence of traumatic injuries owing to the increase in the number of road accidents globally, increase in several musculoskeletal injuries, and improving health reimbursement are factors driving the global condylar plate fixation market. Advancement and introduction of the new condylar fixation plate and an increase in the demand for surgery has driven the global condylar plate fixation market.
The factor that is expected to inhibit the growth of the market is a failure in fixation of the condylar plate in some of the fractures and high cost of the surgery
Key Players Covered

Energy sobriety plan: the measures to remember for families
For this winter and the years to come, the government has presented its 'energy sobriety' plan in order to save energy. Measures that concern businesses, the public sector and households alike. Overview of what must be done by families.
Sobriety, there will be this winter. In front of the energy crisis , various ministers of Elisabeth Borne's government presented at a conference this Thursday, October 6 the 'energy sobriety' plan chosen for the years to come . The first objective by 2024 is to reduce energy consumption in France by 10% , in other words electricity, gas and petrol. 'This represents 2 TWh of savings per year, the equivalent of the annual consumption of a city like Montpellier which has 300,000 inhabitants' , explained the Minister of Transformation and Public Service Stanislas Guerini. In this issue, everyone is concerned, as the Prime Minister reminds us. 'We all have our part to play in getting through this winter without cuts and building a more sober and low-carbon society.' A budget of 800 million euros will be released. Efforts will be requested from the State, public administrations, but also from communities, businesses and individuals. But concretely, what does the energy sobriety plan provide for families? Details.
What are the measures of the energy sobriety plan for households?
This winter, most individuals will have to respect certain measures, with the exception of households in a situation of fuel poverty. The Minister for Energy Transition Agnès Pannier had already mentioned this during a press briefing on September 14th. 'We will never ask for efforts from the French in a situation of fuel poverty, on the contrary we must support them to get out of this situation.' All who can, therefore, are called to adopt eco-gestures on a daily basis , as :
Adjust sound heater at 19 degrees
Set your water heater to 55 degrees
Reduce the duration of showers
Turn off all standby devices
Shift the use of electronic devices outside of peak hours
Install a programmable thermostat at home to save between 5 and 15% gas
These gestures are notably part of an advertising campaign imagined by the ministry and called 'Every gesture counts'. It will be broadcast to the French from October 10th.
'I lower, I turn off, I shift': the new government advertising spot to encourage eco-gestures pic.twitter.com/XPLNVax2yj
— BFMTV (@BFMTV) October 6, 2022
Other announcements have been made and will directly concern individuals. For heating in housing in particular, the government wants 'extend the obligation to install a smart boiler programmer to all buildings' in residences reports Le Figaro . The warm-up period must also be staggered. "Consumers are invited to reduce their consumption of domestic hot water."
What aid is provided for households?
To support households and families in these changes, the government provides several aids. On the one hand the establishment of a covoiture bonus of 100 euros , from January 1, 2023, to encourage the French to turn more to carpooling. On the other, one financial aid of 65 euros for the installation of a thermostat on an existing boiler.
The executive does not stop there. It intends to support households wishing to change heating system , thanks to financing of up to 15,000 euros for a wood pellet boiler and 9,000 euros for a heat pump air/water. And according to information from Europe 1, a generalized 'bonus system' could see the light on electricity and gas bills. Depending on the energy consumption of a home, energy suppliers could increase prices or offer discounts to consumers. This is already the case with the supplier EDF. TotalEnergies imagines a premium 'ranging from 30 to 120 euros, depending on the energy savings achieved' whether reductions in electricity consumption are actually recorded.

For 2,500 years, ancient Greece and Rome have influenced the world.
"It is not living that matters, but living rightly." So said Socrates 2,400 years ago. But he could've said it today on the campus of Fordham, where we value knowledge and ethics. In the classics department at Fordham, you explore ideas born in ancient Greece and Rome that have profoundly shaped human history.
The classical languages major delves into Greek and Roman literature, history, mythology, art, philosophy, religion, and other areas—in Greek and Latin. (Per aspera ad astra!) How did Athenian democracy operate—and how was it criticized? What was the role of drama in ancient Rome? How do you conjugate learn in classical Greek?
But you'll learn more than the classics. You'll also study theology, mathematics, languages, and the performing arts through Fordham's common core curriculum, the centerpiece of our liberal arts education.
We want you to excel in your field—and as a human being.
As Socrates put it, "Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel."
You take 10 courses in the classical languages major—a mix of:
Greek or Latin
Higher level classes are conducted in Greek or Latin.
The Fordham Museum of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Art houses 260 sublime objects, from funerary vases to the emperor Hadrian's head (in sculpture form).
Peruse Poetics in the Parthenon. Contemplate Caesar in the Coliseum. Fordham is a contributing member of the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome. Fordham's International and Study Abroad Program has many other opportunities in Athens, Rome, and many Mediterranean locales.
Students in Latin & Greek courses who maintain an average of B or above are encouraged to join Fordham's chapter, Epsilon Mu, of the National Classics Honors Society, Eta Sigma Phi.
The Department also hosts an undergraduate club for students interested in classical antiquity, the Classics Club.

Roadside construction zones are among the more serious hazards facing motorists. Accidents in these areas are increasingly common and can result from many factors. Often, construction zone car crashes happen because someone was careless or made a mistake, whether it was a fellow motorist, a construction worker or the company in charge of planning. If you are a worker at such a site or a driver passing one, there are several sources of danger to watch out for.

A traumatic brain injury typically happens when a person suffers an impact to the head. According to the CDC, car accidents are among the leading causes of TBI, frequently leading to hospitalization and even death. If you were in a motor vehicle accident and believe you may have hit your head, you should consider the possibility that you may have sustained a brain injury. It is important to understand the causes and symptoms in order to get proper medical care as soon as possible.

Figures show how many people in North Wales have been vaccinated against COVID-19
A NEW data tool by Public Health Wales (PHW) shows the latest number of people to be vaccinated against coronavirus.
A 'vaccination' tab has recently been added to the PHW daily data tool when monitoring the level of coronavirus in the country.
As of the week ending December 20, a total of 22,595 people in Wales had received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and were recorded in the COVID-19 Welsh Immunisation System.
The data, presented by health board of residence, shows that 2,544 residents living within the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) area have been given their first dose of the vaccine and account for a grand total of 22,027 vaccines given across all of Wales.
This works out as 11.5 per cent of the total distribution of vaccines for Wales so far.
These are the latest vaccination figures (by health board residence) in full:
• Aneurin Bevan UHB – 4,115 doses to date
• Betsi Cadwaladr UBH – 2,544 doses to date
• Cardiff and Vale UHB – 4,264 doses to date
• Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB – 3,434 doses to date
• Hywel Dda UHB – 2,823 doses to date
• Powys Teaching HB – 2,013 doses to date
• Swansea Bay UHB – 2,771 doses to date
• Unknown – 63 doses to date
Officials stress that, due to data lags, the actual numbers of vaccinations given will be higher than reported. The data will be updated on a weekly basis.
The Leader has previously reported how the NHS will vaccinate people in order of clinical risk, and it is largely based on age groups from old to young.
When you are eligible for the vaccine on Public Health Wales, you'll be invited to a dedicated clinic.
This priority list, according to the PHW website, is as follows:
1. residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
2. all those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers
3. all those 75 years of age and over
4. all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
6. all individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
It is estimated that taken together, these groups represent around 99 per cent of preventable mortality from COVID-19.


A military aircraft with six people on board has gone missing in Japan. The jet, operated by Tokyo's Air Self-Defense Force, left the naval base in Kagoshima Prefecture in south-western Japan.
According to Japan's public broadcaster NHK, the aircraft took off from the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Kanoya base at about 1pm local time on 6 April. Helicopters have been deployed to find the missing U-125 aircraft.
The plane was thought to be on a routine patrol mission monitoring airport facilities when it lost contact with the ground nearly 45 minutes after its flight. Radar data showed the plane's last position was about 11km north of the Kanoya base. Tokyo's defence ministry is yet to officially release details on the disappearance.

Cars start parking anytime after 5:00 P.M. to dusk. The Optimists will be selling tickets each Monday for a 50/50 draw. It's a fun evening for everyone. See you there!


Can we talk about brunch? I never experienced brunch until my adult life. My mother raised 7 kids and her focus was on a hearty breakfast and a portable lunch. That meant there was never a sense of leisure over a meal, except maybe for Sunday dinner. In addition, I'm not a morning person, so I fell in love with everything about brunch. Honestly, I don't think I have ever invited anyone over for breakfast in my life! Really, what's not to love about a meal that extends over a period sufficient for a good visit, or reconnection, that can be followed with a nice walk in the daytime, and no late night clean up?
Thinking back to my pre-vegan days, it is curious that anyone thought of quiche as a healthy option. The eggs, cream, and cheese, packed a huge cholesterol and fat hit. (like quiche lorraine, for example) While I do make a plant-based, but traditional, crust (my recipe, which has been my go-to for years, is part of our Pumpkin Pie), the filling for this quiche is tofu with some seasonings, a ton of vegetables, and a little bit of Follow Your Heart vegan shreds – a lot different!
Now, let's talk tofu. I use Nasoya organic extra firm most of the time. This recipe calls for a 14 oz. block of tofu. In 1/4 block there is 9 grams of protein (because everyone seems to be obsessed with protein), 4 grams of fat, of which only 0.5 is saturated. Zero cholesterol. Zero. And less than 100 calories. Now, I confess that I have consumed a quarter of a quiche in one meal just by taking multiple slivers after my initial piece, so this all makes me feel good.
First of all, its not really black, but Kala-namak, or Himalayan black salt, is important to have on hand. This salt is a type of rock salt mostly found in the Himalayas and it adds an egg-like flavor because of its sulfur content. I usually stay away from ingredients that are somewhat obscure or hard to find, but this is worth it if you are plant-based and miss the taste of eggs. Incidentally, in the Ayurvedic tradition, it is used as a digestive aid. So that's also a win at a big meal. Your best bet for finding it is a health food store or Indian cuisine market or online. A little goes a long way, so I'm confident my 12 oz bag is going to last me for a year or two.
Have fun with your veggies!
Feel free to be creative with the vegetables. I wrote the recipe based on what I like in a quiche, but the options are really endless. Don't ever run out to get an ingredient if you have a worthy substitute or something that needs to get used up. For example, if you don't like mushrooms but love red peppers, make the switch! I also think ratio of vegetables to tofu is a matter of preference. I like a ton of vegetables so the recipe reflects that. Cut back a little if you want less.
Last tip: If you don't want to deal with a crust, you can cook this in a greased pan for more of a frittata type dish. Personally, I think the crust matters. I've been making my own crusts for years and it's really not hard, and nothing to be afraid of if you haven't made one, yet. The pie crust recipe included on our pumpkin pie post is my standard go-to. Go for it, you won't be disappointed!
Vegan Spinach and Broccoli Quiche – ready to eat!
This vegan spinach and broccoli quiche is a delicious and healthy alternative to the traditional quiche made with eggs, dairy cream and dairy cheese.
Combine tofu, nutritional yeast, black salt and turmeric in food processor and blend, stopping to scrape down edges as needed. Add a few tablespoons of water if needed to blend smoothly. Set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat oil or water and add onions, stirring gently and cook until lightly translucent. Add garlic and mushrooms, if using, and saute until mushrooms are cooked enough to have liquid mostly cooked off.
Add spinach and broccoli and cook just until heated through. Remove pan from stove.
Add the tofu blend, oregano, pepper flakes and cheese shreds to pan and gently fold together until evenly blended.
Transfer the mixture into the pie crust and spread out evenly. Sprinkle with additional shreds or a scant amount of pepper flakes if desired.
Bake for 35 minutes. Allow to sit for 15 minutes before slicing.
So excited to try this. Discovered your gluten free crust, too…you've made it possible for me to reintroduce into my life an old, very-much-missed, favorite food. I can't thank you enough.


In the past week Structure Synth was first mentioned on Dataisnature (strongly recommended, btw), and from here quickly found its way to Wired Blogs, the MAKE: Blog, and at least five other blogs, generating some 60K hits on the SourceForge pages.
Subblue's Box pyramid was featured on most blog entries.
I'm really delighted to see Structure Synth getting some attention – hopefully I'll soon be able to put some time into the further development.


Curiously, I (O'Leary for News) know of no non-Darwinist who blew off the attack and its significance. It takes a completely entrenched and socially unhealthy privilege to not see what happened to Bret Weinstein.
Later, Myers seemed to double down but for some reason, I am unable to embed the tweet.
Maybe Myers's callous attitude is unfathomable to Bret's brother Eric. But it is the reality progressives seek to impose on everyone, every day. The progressive war is, increasingly, with facts, with nature itself. They can't win but we can certainly lose.
Also: Which side will atheists choose in the war on science? They need to re-evaluate their alliance with progressivism, which is doing science no favours.
Thanks, Heartlander. PZ Myers is a dangerous man indeed. God help us all if he or his ilk ever grasp the levers of power.

Wellness Wednesday: Why I Won't Sail Again
February 9, 2022 October 27, 2022 raisedintheforeignservice 2 Comments
When we retired to Palm Beach County in 2013, my husband and I discovered the pleasure of getting on a cruise ship, unpacking once, and seeing the world from a balcony over the water. We began with the crystal blue Caribbean, then branched out to the Hawaiian islands, the sun-drenched Mediterranean, and the chilly Baltic. Each trip left us happy to have ventured out and eager for the next one.
Bathers in the azure Adriatic in Corfu, Greece
A Christmas cruise
But, two weeks into a three-week cruise in 2019, I was medically evacuated from a cruise ship minutes before it departed Amsterdam, and my heart stopped as I was wheeled into a Dutch ER. A ruptured aneurysm was to blame: had it happened during our sailing across the Atlantic crossing and Norway fjords, I would have lost my life. A ship medical office is simply not equipped to handle trauma. An infirmary is not an ICU.
This very close call made us hyper aware of the cruise industry's limited capacity to handle illness, something that the Coronavirus pandemic has only made more critical.
Cruise ships pandemic ground zero
In April 2020, I wrote about cruise ships unable to dock as hundreds of passengers [and staff] were sickened by COVID-19. The industry ground to a halt for more than a year, only last summer beginning to pack ships and sail the seas.
Precautions have not eliminated COVID risk
Nearly two years later, despite masking and vaccines and social distancing protocols, cruise ships are again in the crosshairs of the Coronavirus.
Almost every cruise ship operating in US waters reported COVID-19 cases among passengers or crew, despite extensive precautions to guard against the spread of the virus, including vaccinations, testing and face-covering requirements.
Dave Berman, Florida Today, January 4, 2022
Sick passengers placed in quarantine dungeon
The CDC says the chance of getting COVID-19 on board a cruise ship is very high, even if you are fully vaccinated and have received a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose. And, if you do get ill, you'll be in quarantine, but not in your swank suite.
The comedian Jen Murphy was hit with COVID on the first day of a 8-day sail. She'd been hired by the cruise ship as the talent. Instead, she was escorted, like a prisoner, to a tiny room below the waterline where she spent 8 days in isolation, incommunicado other than the knock on the door with chow, and nothing but lozenges to see her through. Here's her story.
Think twice before you sail
You're safer on a cruise ship than you are in a grocery store.
Port Canaveral Chief Executive Officer John Murray
Maybe, which is why we mask up when we go indoors, keep our distance from others, and wash our hands. We don't seal ourselves into a store and let it take us — and everyone else in the building — away from the rest of the world for a week or two. The omicron surge caused Norwegian and Royal Caribbean to cancel January sailings. My grocery store remains open.
As of mid-January, reports USA Today, the CDC guidelines are optional for the cruise industry.
Buyer, be very very aware.

Wellness Wednesday: How the Fitness Habit Helped One Journalist Recover from COVID
September 1, 2021 September 1, 2021 raisedintheforeignservice Leave a comment
My devotion to fitness aided in my recovery.
Jorge Milian, Post reporter's hellish month with COVID-19, The Palm Beach Post, April 10, 2021
I recognized the gratitude in these words. My exercise teaching experience gave me a whole lot of helping hands when I pulled myself up from post-Intensive Care syndrome following my lengthy hospitalization in 2019. Although my illness pre-dated COVID, I felt a sort of kinship with Jorge Milian's experience. I wanted to find out more.
Here is what I learned in my research, including a telephone conversation with Jorge a few weeks ago.
Palm Beach Post reporter Jorge Milian
In his coverage of the COVID pandemic's impact on his beat of Lake Worth Beach and Boynton Beach, Palm Beach Post reporter and journalist Jorge Milian has written tributes to fallen community leaders and other victims of the virus, stories on the verbal attacks on the city's Central American migrants, and articles on the eviction moratorium. What he never expected to write was a story on his own hellish encounter with COVID-19 at the end of January.
Hellish month
I had a raging fever, my head felt like it was on the verge of exploding and each of the 206 bones in my body ached.
That began around 4-5 weeks of unpleasantness that, at its worst, had me wondering if I would wind up like some of the people I've written about since last March in the Palm Beach Post who died after getting COVID-19 (and if would I have time to alert the Post's editors not to use the headshot that makes me look 20 pounds heavier in my obituary?)
I can joke about it now. But there's nothing funny about running a high fever for days and feeling like you are trying to breathe under water while your doctor is wondering aloud whether you should check into a hospital – a thought that terrified me even more than the unexplainable nightmares and hallucinations that dogged me for around 10 unrelenting, miserable days and nights.
Walking from one side of the house to the other seemed like a marathon. The worst of it was at night when I would wake up gasping for air, almost as if I had forgotten to breathe.
Fatigue was another big issue. For around two weeks after getting sick, I would sleep for 10 hours then spend the rest of the day feeling like I needed a nap.
My doctor told me I should seriously consider going to the hospital if my oxygen level fell below 90. My oxygen level never dropped under 92, but still low enough for thoughts of ventilators and doctors in space suits to cram my thoughts.
Exercise habit
In a recent conversation, Jorge told me that before being bedridden by COVID-19 for 15 days, he had not been sick in his 26 years with The Palm Beach Post. He is an active 61-year-old, a diligent gym-goer ("a little bit of a maniac"), and former runner. He credits his lifetime fitness habit with his quick comeback.
As sick as I got, I still feel kind of lucky. My devotion to fitness aided in my recovery. [Still], it's only been in the past couple of weeks that I can go for my hour-long bike ride or complete my daily strengthtraining routine without stopping every 15 minutes to catch my breath.
His body struggled though what had been comfortable workouts.
When I returned to the gym, it felt like a fever would suddenly rage through my body, heating up like crazy, although my temperature would be normal. But my muscle memory was there to see me though.
Jorge Milian, reporter and journalist
Fitness advice
Jorge is happy to be on the other side of his COVID-19 illness. He is not a long hauler, having been able to resume his full activity routine. And what does he recommend to help others build up their strength?
Find something you like to do and do it. Every day. Consistently. Work up to being active for an hour a day.
Staying well
Follow the public health recommendations: get vaccinated, wear a mask, and practice social distancing.
I've heard a lot of people saying that contracting COVID-19 was no worse than catching the flu, but the virus put this 60-year-old through a physical and mental wringer like I haven't experienced before.
What I had, you don't want.
Wellness Wednesday: How We Are Navigating Our Return to Normal
May 19, 2021 May 31, 2021 raisedintheforeignservice 2 Comments
From March 2020 through Friday, my husband and I ate only what I prepared for us at home. I'm pleased to have managed our nutrition very well, and our recent bloodwork shows that we are holding our own against disease. I'll write a post on nutrition another time to share some of the recipes and cooking tips I picked up along the way.
Today, however, I have to write that …. we broke out and ate at not just one but two restaurants this week. One was just okay, and the other was a homecoming.
Comfortably locked in for a year
The pandemic locked us in, and we got habituated to those limits. We found ourselves enjoying each other's 24/7 company — not a surprise, but what a bonus after 40 years — and engaging outdoors at a distance with neighbors. I didn't miss outside society very much at all. In fact, I'd decided that hermit living was just my style, or perhaps it was the idea of breaking out of our self-imposed limits that made me anxious.
Many of us have gotten very comfortable with the safety that our isolated environments have provided and taking these initial steps out of our safe, home-controlled environments can cause fear and anxiety.
Dr. Marni Chanoff, integrative psychiatrist at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School
Hard-wired for fear
Coming on the heels of a slow recovery from my near-death 2019 illness, the pandemic terrified both of us. The unseen enemy lurked everywhere. We adopted strict cleansing habits. Masks, gloves, and bottles of disinfectant popped up on counters and cabinets around the home and in the car. It was war.
Because our brains have evolved to encode fear so well, it's hard to turn off.
Kirsten Koenen, professor of psychiatric epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Taking baby steps toward old behavior
I walked into a grocery store for the first time in nearly a year when we got our first vaccine. The Publix pharmacy was near the bread aisle, and I will associate the sweet scent of dough with freedom for the rest of my life.
When we were fully vaccinated and outdoors, we began to relax around others. I went to Target, to Publix, to the post office. Not all at once, but here and there.
The way to work through anxiety is to take very small steps forward and expose yourself to manageable amounts of anxiety.
Marni Chanoff, integrative psychiatrist at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School
One giant step into a restaurant
Then came last week, when the CDC announced that vaccinated people could go maskless. Our daughter's visit coincided with that announcement, and I made reservations — at an outdoor table — at our old favorite weekly dinner place.
It was the first time I've had mahi-mahi since the pandemic hit. And blue cheese dressing. And anything someone else cooked.
Choosing to keep new patterns
Still, that dinner did not feel like a homecoming. I hadn't missed dining among strangers, and that included the wait staff, none of whom were our old regulars. Things change over 15 months. Including us.
A lot of people have found that this year has really allowed them to slowdown, to let go of things, to create new patterns and ways of being.
Two days later, we hit a homerun at our favorite breakfast place, where Latino sisters welcomed us back like family. Oh, how we'd worried about them. Other than being unemployed for three months, they and theirs are all well. Tucking in to a hearty Mediterranean omelet and homemade bread, I knew we were on our way to a new normal.
For a lot of people, it's going to take some time to readjust to a new norm that isn't quite pre-pandemic but getting closer.
Dr. John Whyte, chief medical director of WebMD.
How are you handling this phase of our unprecedented life?

How A Dog Saved Our Life
January 13, 2021 December 11, 2021 raisedintheforeignservice 6 Comments
CNN and Palm Beach County's Big Dog Ranch Rescue rang in the New Year with a mega puppy adoption gala, wrote Wendy Rhodes in The Palm Beach Post.
Photo: Big Dog Ranch Rescue
The event was right on trend to ring out the Year of the Pandemic.
… the hottest commodity during lockdown after toilet paper and sourdough starters turned out to be rescue puppies …
Venessa Friedman, NYT Styles Section
When we adopted our lab Kumba in February, my husband and I had no idea that we'd be on the leading edge of the upwelling of community kindness and care that opened hearts and homes to rescue puppies last year. As Emma Gray Ellis wrote in Wired, the organic surge in adoptions emptied animal shelters as people confined to their homes during lockdown sought companionship.
Or maybe it was the dogs who opened our doors, and then filled our hearts.
Lab rescue saved kumba
Kumba was left at an animal shelter in Puerto Rico in the summer of 2019 by a family that was leaving the island. As a pure Labrador retriever, he was tapped by the Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida (LRRoF) that fall. In November, he received the necessary rabies vaccine, and he was flown to Ft. Lauderdale in December.
But he was a very sick dog. LRRoF's vet said he wasn't sure how Kumba was even able to stand. He weighed just 50 pounds, was desperately anemic, and required transfusions and two rounds of antibiotics before he stabilized. He began to recover at his foster home.
Lab rescue believed in us
Meanwhile, my husband and I were realizing that we were ready for another dog. It had been two years since the death of our beloved chocolate Lab Django, and the awful black hole of absence had morphed into an empty space that begged to be filled. The story of Levi, our friends' Golden Retriever rescued from Turkey, inspired us to seek out the equivalent rescue organization for Labs. We filled out the LRRoF application, passed our home visit, and scanned the LRRoF website for dogs ready for adoption.
Lucky us: we were the first family to meet Kumba at his foster home in January of last year when our daughter and her Lab Pancho were visiting (LRRoF requires that their rescues meet existing family dogs). We thought this Puerto Rican dog would pick us because we spoke to him in Spanish, but that didn't seem to matter to him. He was sweet and soulful and ready to be loved, Pancho didn't care one way or the other, and Kumba's foster mom approved. We came home and waited for Kumba to fully recover.
On February 2, we brought him home.
We believed in kumba
It was a rocky start. The first thing he did was pee on the antique chest of drawers my mother bought at the Rome flea market in 1961. Of course he did: he was all wound up from the car ride, and we brought him inside immediately instead of giving him a chance to pee outdoors. That never happened again. By the end of the day, we'd found our walking rhythm.
But Kumba was anxious, needy, nervous. He needed to be right next to us. This was easy to accommodate in our retired, homebody schedule, most of the time. But on the occasion when we both were out of the house, we returned to shredded newspapers and chewed up paperbacks. Voracious reader, you bet. We got better about picking up after ourselves. He got used to sleeping his swank dog bed outside our bedroom door. We got use to him lying on the couch.
Our rescue Lab, Kumba, was timid at first.
Then, on March 13, the country went into lockdown.
Kumba saved our lives
We were suddenly in enforced isolation, and the creature who needed us so began to give us fun and joy and variety. Kumba had increased our household numbers by fifty percent and our household energy by much, much more.
In a recent article for the Associate Press, Mary Esch wrote about how dogs are bringing comfort to isolated residents of a New York nursing home.
The love of an animal is incredible. It releases endorphins, reduces blood pressure, reduces anxiety.
Catherine Farrell, director of therapeutic activities, Hebrew Home
We had no idea a year ago how much we would need this dog. We think it's probably mutual.

Contrabanned: #MusicUnites — a SXSW music showcase highlighting artists from banned nations
February 28, 2017 · 2:45 PM EST
Updated on Mar. 8, 2017 · 4:15 PM EST
By Marco Werman
Not long after President George W. Bush labeled Iran, Iraq and North Korea an "axis of evil" in 2002, I was at South by Southwest with a friend, Matthew Covey.
Matthew is a lawyer. His firm Tamizdat provides a number of services, but one of them is helping musicians and artists from overseas obtain visas when they want to come to the US to perform or conduct other work.
Matthew and I were eating barbecue at Stubb's in Austin, and talking about the showcases we were seeing, and the need for more international artists at SXSW. At some point, we started musing about a showcase featuring artists from the countries in the axis of evil. It would be the Axis of Evil Showcase. Even had a kind of punk rock ring to it.
It was kind of a crazy idea, mostly because of North Korea. There's no problem finding artists from Iran or Iraq, but North Korea was and still is, a black box, especially in terms of the kind of music that might entertain a room in Austin, Texas.
Anyway, The World launched some very successful showcases at SXSW, including one with 127, the first band from post-revolutionary Iran to perform in the US.
Fast-forward nearly a decade and a half to 2017. Donald Trump is president. And on Jan. 27, he signed an executive order banning entry to the US for 90 days to the citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries — Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — and banning entry to Syrian refugees indefinitely. After a court blocked that order, a new one was introduced in March, targeting immigrants from those same countries minus Iraq.
A week after the first order came down, I got a call from Matthew: What did I think of the idea of a showcase at SXSW of artists from those countries? And so, along with a group of partners who'd worked together in the past, ContraBanned: #MusicUnites was born.
One of the groups announced on the bill for Contrabanned is Faarrow.
Faarrow is a duo: two sisters from Mogadishu, who fled war there with their parents.
Settled first in Toronto, Faarrow is now making music in Los Angeles. Somalia is one of the countries affected by President Trump's immigration ban. The uncertainty about it is still keeping a lot of Somalis from coming to the US.
Including artists.
And that could be happening for a long time under Trump.
The showcase is really meant to remind us what's at stake when you can't see and hear musicians from these countries here in America.
So, if you're in Austin on Friday, March 17, stop by the Palm Door on Sixth for the Contrabanned: #MusicUnites showcase. Here's their Kickstarter.

Supreme Court will hear the AYODHYA case from July 25.
The Supreme Court will hear the AYODHYA case from July 25.
In the last hearing on May 10, the mediation panel was given time till August 15 by the Supreme Court to come up with a solution.
"We ask the mediation committee chairperson to give a status report. This report will be submitted by next week and we will decide on this next week. We also make it clear that in case the mediation committee says it should be concluded, we will start hearing the appeals from the July 25," said a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi today.
The top court had referred the decades-old dispute for mediation and set up the panel, headed by former Supreme Court judge FM Kalifulla.
The panel has been tasked by the court to hold consultations to explore a potential avenue for an amicable settlement.
The panel was constituted after the court noted "the lack of consensus between the parties in the matter".
The dispute involves the site in Ayodhya where the 16th-century Babri mosque stood before it was razed in 1992 by Hindu activists who believe that it was built on the ruins of an ancient temple marking the birthplace of Lord Ram. In riots following the mosque demolition, 2,000 people died across the country.

Hon. John Rhoades
Born in 1925 in Havre, Montana, Judge Rhoades served as a pilot in the U.S. Navy from 1943 to 1946 and in the Naval Reserve until 1966.
Judge Rhoades received his bachelor's degree in 1948 from Stanford University, and his law degree in 1951 from the University of California Hastings College of Law in San Francisco.
He worked in the San Diego City Attorney's office from 1952 to 1957, and spent the next 28 years in private practice, first as a sole practioner and then with the firm of Rhoades Hollywood & Neil, before then-President Ronald Reagan appointed him to the federal bench in 1985.
Judge Rhoades was known for his wry sense of humor and devotion to the law. He loved the law as an institution and thought very strongly about preserving it and being faithful to it. At the same time, Rhoades was in independent thinker who won the respect of both the defense and prosecution for his evenhandedness.
He was a workhorse who would help the court system in any way he could, from working on the preservation of the historic Jacob Weinberger U.S. Courthouse to sitting twice a year on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
A many of many interests, Judge Rhoades was an avid reader and fluent in Spanish, which assisted him in the charity work, he performed in Mexico – a country for which he had a profound love.
Married for more than 50 years before his wife's death and the father of five grown sons, Judge Rhoades had a "very strong family" and for many years opened his home to U.S. servicemen for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.

Standardise language and terminology in scientific journals and with patients
Researchers are recommending a stronger move towards less stigmatising, standardised terminology in scientific journals and with patients, which reflects our understanding of obesity as a disease, according to a study, 'Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say: The Importance of Language in the Treatment of Obesity', published in the journal Obesity. It is believed to be the first study to determine how wide-spread, stigmatising language is within scientific publications on obesity and examine its impact on patients.
Researchers explain that although most scientific journals have developed editorial policies that encourage use of first-person language, negative language which perpetuates both overt and implied stigma related to obesity, continues to be used. The mechanisms contributing to the development of obesity are increasingly well-characterised; however deeply ingrained perceptions within the medical community and the public have seen the persistence of negative attitudes towards obesity.
The study aimed to access how frequently negative terminology was used to report bariatric surgery studies in peer-reviewed journals. A secondary goal was to evaluate the patient perspective of potentially stigmatising language and its implications for forming constructive relationships with healthcare providers and engagement with weight-loss interventions.
"All healthcare professionals should be aware of this research and consider their use of language when talking about obesity with colleagues and patients," said Mr Richard Welbourn, Department of Upper Gastrointestinal and Bariatric Surgery, Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, UK, corresponding author of the study. "Non-judgmental, standardised terminology may help patients feel safe to engage in a conversation about weight and potential treatment options."
Data for the study consisted of a quantitative and qualitative investigation of specific terminology within the scientific literature and from the patient perspective. The words "fail" and "morbid" were identified for the search. For "morbid," the search was limited to mentions in the title or abstract. However, for the term "fail," the premise of the paper and the number of times "fail" appeared were recorded. The quality of studies was not relevant in this context and not assessed.
For the qualitative portion of the study, 16 patients with obesity involved in a supervised weight-loss program were interviewed. Themes explored with patients during the phone interviews included their perceptions of the importance of language used by healthcare providers in treating patients with obesity, their views of specific phrases including "fail" and "morbid", and the implications of language on engagement with weight management interventions.
Results revealed that out of 3,020 papers screened, 2.4% included the term "fail" and 16.8% contained "morbid" used in conjunction with obesity. The patients felt that that negative language, particularly the word "failure," implied a personal responsibility for lack of weight loss.
"Our words truly do matter! The old expression "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" doesn't apply for those living with obesity," said Joe Nadglowski, president and CEO of the Obesity Action Coalition, a nonprofit dedicated to serving the needs of every individual affected by obesity. Nadglowski was not associated with the research. "As the study's authors have demonstrated, poor or outdated language hurts the provider/patient relationship and ultimately keeps people with obesity from seeking or receiving care. It's time we prioritise better language around obesity."
The study's authors write that clinicians involved in research on the treatment of obesity are uniquely positioned to take the lead starting with the adoption of non-stigmatizing, clinically-descriptive phrases and the use of first-person language in publications. The researchers add that the adoption of editorial policies discouraging the use of ambiguous, non-scientific phrases such as "fail" or "morbid obesity" would reinforce the need to communicate with clarity and in a way that does not perpetuate the role of the medical professions in stigmatizing obesity.
Other authors of the study include Naomi Fearon, Department of Upper Gastrointestinal and Bariatric Surgery, St. Vincent's Hospital, Dublin, Ireland; Alexis Sudlow and Dimitri Pournaras, Department of Upper Gastrointestinal and Bariatric Surgery, Southmead Hospital, Bristol, United Kingdom and Carl le Roux, Department of Experimental Pathology, University College Dublin, Ireland.
