Q: I'm unable to update the entered data into db Here is my code
  <?php
  include('admin/class.php');

This is the db connection
  $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "timesheet1234");

here am giving action to my save button
if(isset($_POST['save']))
{
  $sel=@$_POST['selpro'];
  $mon=@$_POST['mon'];
  $tue=@$_POST['tue'];
  $wed=@$_POST['wed'];
  $thu=@$_POST['thu'];
  $fri=@$_POST['fri'];
  $sat=@$_POST['sat'];
  $sun=@$_POST['sun'];

This is where the problem occurs
if(isset($_SESSION['user']))
{
    echo "session user";

It is not accepting the mysqli
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($link,"UPDATE empdaytimesheet SET
`projectcode`='$sel',`mon`='$mon',`tue`='$tue',`wed`='$wed',
`thu`='$thu',`fri`='$fri',`sat`='$sat',`sun`='$sun' where
`username`='".$_SESSION['user']."'");
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt,"siiiiiii", $sel,$mon,$tue,$wed,$thu,$fri,$sat,$sun);

$res= mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);

It is not coming to this condition
if($res){
  echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
  echo "alert('TimeSheet Saved..!')";
  echo "</script>";
  echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
  echo "window.location='my_timesheet.php'";
  echo "</script>";
}

Instead it executes this:
else {
  echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
  echo "alert('Some Error Occured ! Retry..!')";
  echo "</script>";
  echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
  echo "window.location='my_timesheet.php'";
  echo "</script>";
}
}
  }
  ?>

A: TRY ( use placeholder (?) instead of direct variables )
$stmt = "UPDATE empdaytimesheet SET `projectcode`=?,
                                    `mon`=?,
                                    `tue`=?,
                                    `wed`=?,
                                    `thu`=?,
                                    `fri`=?,
                                    `sat`=?,
                                    `sun`=?
        WHERE username = ?";

$stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $stmt);
// s : corresponding variable has type string
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, 'sssssssss', $sel, $mon, $tue, $wed,$thu,$fri,$sat,$sun,$username);

$sel = 'whatevr';
$mon = 'whatever';
//...
//...so on ...

$stmt->execute();

Reference

A: Your way of using prepared statements is wrong.
You have to use placeholders instead of variables:
Also you are not checking for errors and thus you're unable ho get a hint from a database
$sql  = "UPDATE empdaytimesheet SET `projectcode`=?',`mon`=? ..."; // and so on
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $sql) or trigger_error(mysqli_error($link));

note the second line. it will raise a PHP error which will tell you what's going wrong

A: Binding the statements in general means that you are putting the variable in place where you left placeholder ?
You never place actual variables when preparing the statements.
$stmt = "UPDATE empdaytimesheet SET `projectcode`=?,
                                `mon`=?,
                                `tue`=?,
                                `wed`=?,
                                `thu`=?,
                                `fri`=?,
                                `sat`=?,
                                `sun`=?
    WHERE username = ?";

when you write the above statement you are actually the indicating to  mysql that you are going to execute query of this form ...
and when you bind the query using
 mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, 'ssssssss', $sel, $mon, $tue,    $wed,$thu,$fri,$sat,$sun,$username);

you are giving the actual values to be replaced instead on ?
Reason why you are getting the error is because your statement is not getting prepare properly and so mysqli_prepare is returning false
try catching the error there using mysqli_prepare() or die(mysqli_error())

Thyroid function tests (TFTs) is a collective term for blood tests used to check the function of the thyroid. TFTs may be requested if a patient is thought to suffer from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), or to monitor the effectiveness of either thyroid-suppression or hormone replacement therapy.... Using Volume Profile with T4 Volume Profile is an overlay that gives a visual representation of how much volume occurs at each individual price over a certain period of time. It can be very useful in figuring out Support and Resistance levels as well as where the market has traded during a certain period of time.
I want to use T4 because I'm not really aware of another way to generate files and move them easily. The problem I'm having is trying to pass user input data to the T4 Files. The problem I'm having is trying to pass user input data to the T4 Files.
Visual Studio offers standard UML profiles and a C# profile. I'll copy and modify the C# profile to add metadata to the UML model. I'll copy and modify the C# profile to add metadata to the UML model.
Because T4 exists in two forms in your body, there are two kinds of T4 tests: a total T4 test and a free T4 test. A total T4 test measures the T4 that has bonded to protein along with any free T4.

  var linksStr = $("#links").val();
  var urls = linksStr.match(/\bhttps?:\/\/[^\s]+/gi);

})

Then how would I best traverse these in PHP.

A: Just create an object with all your fields and the url list, then post that via jQuery:
var formdata = {
     "field1": field1,
     "field2": field2,
     "urls": urls,
     "field3": field3
}
JSON.stringify(...)
$.ajax({ ... data: { matches : json }, ... })

And as to how you traverse them in PHP:
$json = json_decode($_GET["matches"]);
foreach ($json["urls"] as $url) {
    print $url;
}

O.A.R. SHOW
As some of you know, I am a part of a promotions company called Bus Stop Promotions. We bring quality artists to Columbus' best music venues. This year we are fortunate to have been given the Nationwide Arena Stage for Red, White & BOOM! Being in a band who has played Red, White & BOOM! for the past eight years, we've come to know quite a bit about the inner workings of the festival. The sound is always top knotch, the stages are big, and stage production is almost always great. There is a built-in crowd, but they're not there necessarily for the music. Cover bands fill the stages along with a sprinkling of local independent original bands.
This year we wanted to do something different. We wanted to make the first ever (to our knowledge) local independent music stage! We invited original local bands to fill the stage from 3-11pm. The stage lineup is killer! Starting the day is Kid Runner, followed by Erica Blinn & The Handome Machine, The Rust Belt Rumble Family Band, Angela Perley & The Howlin' Moons, Jared Mahone, The Wet Darlings, Nick D' & The Believers, and MojoFlo will be playing before and after the fireworks.
Not only will the stage be filled with local music, but we will be handing out free music sampler cards featuring a FREE song from each band! I can tell you that no other stage will be doing that. In addition to that, we will be having local musician, Trey Pearson from Everyday Sunday, as our DJ between bands, creating a fun, danceable atmosphere. We hope you'll come out and join us at the Nationwide Arena Stage, located on the plaza just outside the front doors of Nationwide Arena. It's going to be a fun day of loving local.
Music sampler cards made possible by: Yelp, Greater Columbus Arts Council, Music Loves Ohio, The Small Business Beanstalk, Gateway Film Center, D.P. Dough, Mysterioso Rock Art, Hilltop Wellness & Chiropractic, Public House, Matt Holley Design, and Thirty-One/Carmen Withrow.

Billy Townsend: A Handy Guide to the Latest Education Scandal in Florida
Blogger Billy Townsend (Public Enemy #1) here summarizes the latest Florida education scandal.
Categories Accountability, Bush, Jeb, Charter Schools, Education Industry, Florida, For-Profit, Fraud, Privatization, Scandal
kathyirwin1 says:
A Must Read Piece. This description is the nationwide PLAYBOOK for takeover and takedown of Public Schools. One stunning passage that certainly captures what Youngkin forces are up to in Virginia, "Destroy The Capacity To Serve Kids".
Florida's Department of Education looks like little more than a state-sponsored criminal enterprise, controlled by unelected hyenas scouring local community education money for whatever scraps of flesh they can get. That's the real narrative of the "Failure Factories" era.
Not surprisingly, the state education system is falling apart in many places because of this corruption and the destruction of human capacity to serve kids. That is also the narrative.
ciedie aech says:
SO EXACTLY SAID: "Florida's Department of Education looks like little more than a state-sponsored criminal enterprise, controlled by unelected hyenas scouring local community education money for whatever scraps of flesh they can get." Surely it is way past time to look at what the past two decades of test and punish policy has done to parent trust in any school system to function well: now the privatizers simply step up their game and schools are easier and easier to pull apart and blame.
This is a very thorough examination of the history of corruption in the privatized education system in Florida. It should be a cautionary tale to other states, but it likely will be dismissed as "fake news" from the those on the right that wear blinders. If nothing else comes of this scandal, Democrats need to use this egregious misuse of power against DeSantis in his bid for higher office.
Privatization leads to corruption when favored partners and politicians collude to takeover the education of poor minority communities. Privatization is rife with politicking, cronyism and nepotism. In Florida state representatives often work hand in hand with privatizers. Some members of the legislature have financial interests in charter schools. DeSantis and the legislature have passed laws that override home rule. Local laws may not conflict with state laws. In an attempt to weaken school boards, DeSantis has proposed eliminating salaries for school board members and moving charter authorization up to the state level.
Privatizers target poor minority communities that have little agency like Jefferson County. They do not want to invest equitably in these communities. Instead, under the guise of "choice" DeSantis and Corcoran want to substitute a cheap privatized alternative education that offers separate and unequal opportunities for poor black and brown students.
Here's DeSantis refusing to condemn a Nazi rally in Orlando that even Rick Scott denounced. People can expect biased, authoritarian leadership that often defies logic. DeSantis, always willing to play the victim, claims Democrats are trying to 'smear' him. https://www.jewishexponent.com/2022/02/02/florida-gov-desantis-wont-condemn-nazi-rally-in-orlando/
tultican says:
Florida's Department of Education looks like little more than a state-sponsored criminal enterprise. This exceptional collection of materials makes the DeSantis and Cochran criminality charges look irrefutable.
It is dubious that any action against DeSantis and Corcoran will come from the state as most key positions are held by crony conservatives. Here in North Florida there is no coverage of this scandal as Sinclair Broadcasting controls the news
Wait, What? says:
What a saga and story! That's a lot to sink in and every small town local paper and rural school board should see it.
Privatization and some charter legislation is the only thing rural republicans push back on their fellow conservatives.
As for informing North Florida… maybe south Florida would make flyers and drop them from balloons across the border!
Florida's privatized systems are the model for the whole country in ed reform, and no one really looks at them.
There is no mention or acknowlegment that any of this is happening in the national ed reform echo chamber- quite the opposite, in fact- the whole echo chamber cheerleads Florida.
It's this weird disconnect between local reporting and local awareness of these problems with privatized systems, and the national ed reform lobby.
If they're not looking at states they've already captured and privatized, what does that mean for their efforts to make all states just like Florida?
They don't test or evaluate privatized models at all. They just put one in and move on to lobby for the next one. By the time the obvious issues with privatizing K-12 education become nationally understood, they'll have privatized the whole country and it will be impossible to go back to public systems.
Ed reformers don't evaluate their own work. They run "experiments" and then never look at the results.
The US K-12 system could end up completely privatized with virtually no critical or real analysis of whether privatization is better.
States "rake public schools over the coals" with accountability and data collection. They subject students to mindless cyber trash masquerading as instruction and testing while most the scandals and misdeeds of charter schools are barely noticed. It is hypocritical profiteering engineered by the wealthy and their lobbyists in state legislatures.
Bob Shepherd says:
We in Flor-uh-duh have the most scandalous of education scandals! We're exceptional in so many ways!
leftcoastteacher says:
You truly do, and that is no small feat with states like DeVosigan out there.
haaa!!!!
And now, this: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/02/melinda-french-gates-wealth-gates-foundation
There's a scene in Lawrence of Arabia I love where Omar Sharif's character is charging into a slaughter of a battle unwillingly to murder people and he says, "God. God? GOD!" Regarding French Gates giving less to the B&M Foundation: Good! Good. Good?
We in Flor-uh-duh have many reasons for pride in such matters. And don't forget that we are home to the King of the Con, Don.
SomeDAM Poet says:
You'd need an instrument that was continuously updated ( like the world population meter or the McDonalds "x Billions served" sign) to keep up on the latest scandal in Florida.

Activism Analysis Politics
Harvard Law School all in on discrediting any and all dissension about the 2020 election
Dave Huber - Associate Editor •January 13, 2021
As universities look into purging individuals associated with the Trump administration and/or who believed there were election irregularities last November, Harvard Law School appears to be ahead the curve.
On the heels of the Harvard Institute of Politics ousting New York U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik for her views on vote fraud, The Crimson reports that Harvard Law students denounced a professor for his "unbelievably divisive" rhetoric, blasted Texas Senator Ted Cruz for his contesting the election results, and some Harvard Law faculty rationalized a second impeachment of the president.
In a letter addressed to Law School deans, groups including the Harvard Parity Project, the Equal Democracy Project and the Black Law Students Association allege Professor Adrian Vermeule used his Twitter account "to spread election disinformation." They say Vermeule spread conspiracy theories and even advocated violence; for instance, in one tweet he wrote that "principled conservatives" would be "the very first group for the camps."
Despite the tweet theorizing a danger to those not on the "extremist left," the groups argue the remark is "antisemitic" and not protected by academic freedom. They also complain that Vermeule has criticized the "liberalisation of abortion," same sex marriage and "allowing sexualised drag queens near young children."
Letter co-author Nicole Rubin said the impetus for the statement "several students [feeling] uncomfortable" with Vermeule's writings.
In Senator Cruz's case, over 900 Law School students contend his "false claims of voter fraud" and contest of the Electoral College vote are "utterly inconsistent" with his oath of office. Law professor Michael Klarman agrees, claiming the vote contest was "an attempted coup against democracy, just as was the simultaneous storming of the Capitol by a Trump-incited mob." Statement co-author Chris Kelly believes Cruz should be expelled from the Senate for his (alleged) "complicity in fomenting violence."
With regards to a second impeachment of Trump, Klarman said he thinks Democrats are pursuing it so as to force GOP politicians to go on the record "defending or criticizing the president." Klarman's peer Tomiko Brown-Nagin went further, alleging the mob which broke into the Capitol "did so at Trump's 'bidding.'"
"There should be no question that this attempt to impede the will of the people and the lawful transfer of power constitutes high crimes and misdemeanors," Brown-Nagin said. "Donald Trump must be held accountable for his actions using the tools of impeachment and removal laid out in the Constitution. The rule of law is at stake."

CRASH AND BURN: Ratings at CNN PLUNGE Since Inauguration Day
Tue, May 11, 2021
Total viewership at CNN has plunged since Inauguration Day, with some entertainment insiders saying more than 66% of the entire audience has disappeared after Joe Biden was sworn in as President of the United States.
"The drop CNN is experiencing is profound. On Friday, not one program broke 900K total viewers. Prime averaged less than 800K overall. For comparison, the network averaged 2.74 million viewers in January, so we're talking about more than two-thirds of the audience – gone," posted Fox News contributor Joe Concha.

Q: A rain-storm being gentle? From Where I Lived, and What I Lived For by Henry David Thoreau:

This small lake was of most value as a neighbor in the intervals of a gentle rain-storm in August, when, both air and water being perfectly still, but the sky overcast, mid-afternoon had all the serenity of evening, and the wood thrush sang around, and was heard from shore to shore.

A gentle rain storm seems odd to me, isn't it to be at least at some degree of furious to be qualified as a storm? How can gentle be the adjective of a storm?

A: A gentle rain storm can happen and it depends on the geography of the area and atmospheric conditions.  Thoreau is referring more to the downpour of water than the wind and thunder that can accompany storms.
The type of rain Thoreau is writing about also occurs in more southern climates on a regular basis during the summer months when there can be a sudden downpour for a few minutes to release moisture from the air on a daily basis.  This type of rain also occurs in the Boston area (Walden) during hot summers and are caused by nimbus clouds.  It is usually referred to simply as a downpour as distinct from rain or raining.
Thunderstorms with their great winds are caused by cumulonumbus clouds and require flat terrain to reach their full potential, for example in the Midwest of the US.  Because of rolling terrain, cumulonimbus clouds form less regularly in the northeastern US.


Greenwich Hospital has received national accreditation from the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program for a second time, maintaining its status of meeting the highest standards for patient safety and quality care for its comprehensive bariatric surgery program.
The MBSAQIP designation ensures that bariatric surgical patients receive a multidisciplinary program - not just surgical procedures - which improves patient outcomes and long-term success, Kaul said.
The team at Greenwich Hospital consists of board-certified surgeons, a program coordinator, dietitian, psychologist, specially trained nurses and other staff to provide the highest level of individualized and compassionate care, he said. Members of the bariatric surgery program work closely with Greenwich Hospital's Center for Behavioral and Nutritional Health to address the physical and emotional needs of each patient.
The bariatric surgery program offers preoperative and postoperative care to patients, plus monthly support groups for individuals who undergo weight-loss surgery. Candidates for bariatric surgery include individuals who are 60 pounds or more overweight and are at risk of developing obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, gastric reflux and more.
To receive the national accreditation, bariatric centers must offer both surgical procedures as well as a multidisciplinary programs for severely obese patients designed to improve outcomes and long-term success. After submitting an application, centers undergo an extensive visit by an experienced bariatric surgeon who makes a specific designation based on the number of annual patients, types of procedures provided and whether it serves patients under the age of 18 years.

Hackers are exploiting a critical and unpatched vulnerability in Windows Office 2003, 2007 and 2010, Microsoft Corp. warned yesterday.
The attackers are using a malformed image file viewed on a Web site or in an email message to hijack Windows PC, Microsoft said.
Microsoft initially said only Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 were vulnerable to the attack but a McAfee Inc. security researcher who spotted the flaw last week said both Windows XP and Windows 7 could be affected by the malicious files.
Elia Florio, an engineer at Microsoft Security Response Centre said that machines running Office 2007 or 2007 are affected, no matter what operating system they are using. He also said, machines running Office 2010 on Windows XP or Server 2003 are at risk.
Office 2013, does not have the vulnerability, said Florio.

The recent armed robbery of a Chicago-based co-location facility has customers hopping mad after learning it was at least the fourth forced intrusion in two years. They want to know how C I Host, an operator that vaunts the security of its data centers, could allow the same one to be penetrated so many times.
…the same location has been the target of at least four burglaries or robberies since August 2005, according to police reports and former customers, some of whom say they lost sensitive data and hundreds of thousands of dollars in hardware.

As William Gibson might argue, science fiction is more about the present than any imagined future.

Episode Fifteen
After a beer and a contraband cigarette, Jack finally got over the frustration at her inability to do anything, then spent the rest of the night finishing her report for Gilles and Adrian. She would send it out to them before she left. With these new images from Bellis, as well as the information she had been gathering, she had a fairly complete report to send them.
They had both been harassing her for updates, but she was afraid that one or both of them would try to stop her from going if she told them what was going on. She knew her fears about her friends were really her own sense of personal security trying to stop her from doing something foolish, but if she could keep anyone else from voicing those thoughts she would be able to ignore the voices in her head.
Jack spent the evening going over the Brugges theft, comparing it to the incident in the Bellis server room. There was more information about the European crime by now, on the regular news boards as well as the specialized ones Jack has been paging through before. It seemed that the theft had been conducted by a pair of locals who had now gone missing. There didn't seem to be any link between the two prior to the incident; one was a service worker in a mid range upgrade salon and the other was an entertainment worker.
Rowan, Jack thought. She was an entertainment worker from Brugges. Of course, that made as much sense as anything; more, really. Most of the analysis of the event had pointed out that the logic was quite poor, but only if the thieves cared about getting caught. If you had no thoughts of you own, why would you care about the logs, getting caught or having to disappear?
I moved – listen for the ferry horns and carillon bells
there's a nice lively discussion on Episode Ten – keep up the good work
I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month again this year
I'm doing a podcast for it, too
The next day, Jack arrived a little early, hoping to catch a few minutes with Gilles. She rounded the corner to their shared cube, and smiled broadly when she saw his craggy face. "Morning, Gilles," she said, throwing her jacket on the rack.
"Hey, yourself," Gilles said. "How was your weekend?" She could have sworn that he winked at her.
"Pretty interesting," Jack said, "I'll be giving you a full written report later." He laughed, and Jack smiled and lowered her voice. "No, really, I'm not kidding. There have been a lot of developments since our little adventure and I want to fill you in."
Jack rode the ninety minute train home knowing she ought to use the time to get a quick nap, but was too wired to sleep. She really wasn't sure what to think about the things she had seen and heard. She was convinced that the Red were behind the attack on Estella Rowan, but she was equally convinced that the people she met could not have been involved.
Not necessarily because they were inherently good people – Jack didn't trust her judgment that much – but because it just wasn't their style. It would offend their sense of esthetics.
Jack felt as if her mind was truly clear for the first time since this ordeal began, though she was not sure that sneaking off for a quickie was the best decision she had made in the past few days. However, what was done was done and she sat with Phoenix, talking about art and the difficulties that people who do not fit into the system of working for a firm have when trying to do their work. Jack discovered that Phoenix was gainfully employed as a writer for a prominent board devoted to performance art. One of the large firms funded the board as well as many exhibitions every year.
"I didn't know that even existed," Jack said.
"It's very uncommon," Phoenix said, "I was extremely lucky to get the position. Of course, I worked for them to begin with and was active in the community anyway. I knew who to go to and what I had to do to get it." Phoenix smiled languidly, and Jack understood that there were probably not very many desires that Phoenix didn't get fulfilled.
I was at the Podcast Expo last weekend, and got to hang out with lots of cool folks, like…

I also got comments from steve and charley hardman, who also sent me email, as did Susanna. And finally, last but certainly not least, RRobo left an awesome review on the US iTunes Music Store. Woot!
Episode Ten
Jack found herself in a small vestibule before a locked metal grating at the bottom of a long, narrow, straight stairwell. A voice crackled from a speaker in the ceiling.
"There's network here. Upload the map you were given so we can confirm the checksum."
Jack drew a deep breath and turned her system on. She was, indeed, online, though the signal was weak. She found that an address had been sent to her, and she replied with a copy of the map. The upload seemed to take forever, but almost immediately as soon as it was done a buzzer sounded and the grating in front of her swung open. Jack walked up the stairs, jumping as the grate behind her clanged shut. She checked the monitor to discover the already weak signal getting weaker with each step she took. By the time she reached the top of the staircase, she was offline again.
Episode Nine
It was a ninety minute train ride, and Jack was having trouble filling the time. Her nerves were jangling and every few minutes she would decide to catch a return train as soon as they stopped. But, deep down, she knew that she'd end up following through with her plan. She had gone too far to stop now. And when she thought about it, this was the most exhilarating experience she'd had since she decided to play on the right side of the rules.
Hell, she had never really been much of a cracker anyway; she was always more interested in how things worked than causing problems. Her break and enter career was entirely motivated by a need to see what was on the other side, and she was very good at making sure she wouldn't be caught. This was probably the most exciting thing she had ever done in her entire life. There was no way she was going to wimp out now.

Jack woke on her own sometime near noon the next day. She felt like crap, and was sure she looked like it too. She fired up the coffee machine and dug out a breakfast bar. She stirred her coffee with the bar, trying to get some moisture and extra caffeine into the nutrient laden brick.
She cracked her neck and picked up her clothes from where she had dropped them the previous night. She put them on, even though there were clean clothes in the autoclave. She just couldn't be bothered to open up the hatch and she didn't think she would be leaving the apartment any time soon.

Cuba's 'sonic weapon' may have been mosquito gas

Cheetah smuggling out of Ethiopia 'fuelled by exotic pets demand'
New Chinese virus 'will have infected hundreds'
Cuban health authorities and the army fumigate a street in Havana in 2016
Canadian researchers say they may have identified the cause of a mystery illness which plagued diplomatic staff in Cuba in 2016.
Some reports in the US suggested an "acoustic attack" caused US staff similar symptoms, sparking speculation about a secret sonic weapon.
But the Canadian team suggests that neurotoxins from mosquito fumigation are the more likely cause.
The Zika virus, carried by mosquitoes, was a major health concern at the time.
So-called "Havana syndrome" caused symptoms including headaches, blurred vision, dizziness and tinnitus.
It made international headlines when the US announced more than a dozen staff from its Cuban embassy were being treated.
Cuba denied any suggestion of "attacks", and the reports led to increased tension between the two nations.
In July, a US academic study showed "brain abnormalities" in the diplomats. "It's not imagined, all I can say is that there is truth to be found," one of the authors said.
The Canadian team from the Brain Repair Centre in Halifax thinks it now has the answer.
Canadian diplomats were affected by similar reactions to US counterparts – though the study noted that the symptoms of the Canadians were more gradual than the "acute, directional… auditory stimulus" in some of the US cases.
The study notes that tests carried out on 28 participants – seven of whom were tested both before and after being posted to Havana – support a diagnosis of brain injury acquired by diplomats and their families while in Cuba.
What is a covert sonic weapon?
US expels two Cuban UN diplomats
The patterns of brain injury "all raise the hypothesis of recurrent, low-dose exposure to neurotoxins", the report said.
Specifically, the results were "highly suggestive" of something called cholinesterase inhibitor intoxication.
Cholinesterase is an important enzyme in the human nervous system, and blocking it through an inhibitor can lead to death. The chemical weapon, Sarin, is an example of a potent cholinesterase inhibitor, as is VX, which was used in the killing of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korea's leader.
But the low, consistent doses the researchers believe were delivered are consistent with exposure to commercial pesticides, the study's authors said.
And fumigation in Cuba increased after the country "declared war" on the Zika virus in 2016, spraying gas around or even inside diplomats' homes.
Diplomats stationed at the US embassy in Havana were among the victims
Embassy records showed a significant increase in fumigation with weekly exposure to high doses of pesticides, the study said.
The Zika virus, spread by mosquitoes, affected 47 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean that year, causing microcephaly in some newborn babies.
Has a sonic weapon been ruled out?
The Canadian researchers said that proving the definitive cause was "difficult, if not impossible at this time" – but that their hypothesis offered "a plausible explanation".
But "other causes cannot be ruled out", they wrote.
The study focused purely on Canadians and did not cover any US diplomats, their families or Cuban residents of Havana.
Media captionThe US reopened its embassy in Havana in August 2015, more than 50 years after it was closed.
John Babcock, a spokesman for Canada's foreign ministry, told reporters that "no definitive cause of the health incidents has been identified to date".
The Canadian government is exploring "all avenues", he said.
The US government has never officially spoken about what it thinks the cause of the unusual symptoms could be.
US media have quoted state department officials as referring to a "sonic attack", and a US medical study found brain abnormalities in US diplomats.

Northern Lights & Arctic Cultures
A Winter Adventure in Churchill, Canada—One of the Best Places to See the Aurora Borealis!
Destinations > Eastern Canada > Northern Lights & Arctic Cultures
Round-trip transportation between Winnipeg and Churchill , accommodations, all meals, drinking water throughout the trip, cold-weather gear including a parka, fleece neck buff, fleece jacket, waterproof pants, mittens and Arctic boots for use during your trip, services of NHA Expedition Leaders and assistants, most gratuities, airport transfers, permits and entrance fees, all taxes.
Selected Dates, 20 Jan - 19 Mar '18, 22 Jan - 22 Mar '19
In the same land that hosts the brief, brilliant summer of beluga whales and the polar bears of autumn comes an amazing phenomenon that illumines the dark winter skies. The ethereal northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, meaning "north wind of the dawn," brighten the night sky in a mystical display of color. Churchill, Manitoba has one of the heaviest concentrations of auroral activity on Earth, making it an ideal destination for a northern lights tour. View the lights from varied heated vantage points including a custom-built Aurora Pod®, offering 360-degree views of the night sky through its glass top and sides. On this exciting Arctic adventure, days are filled with distinctly northern activities such as dog sledding, and nights with the potential for the best aurora viewing on the planet.
Back to Eastern Canada Tours
Experience the northern lights in warmth and comfort from our innovative Aurora Pod® with glass ceiling and sides, and from inside heated circular Aurora Domes
Learn all about the phenomenon of the aurora borealis—plus the natural history and features of the Arctic tundra environs—from our naturalist Expedition Leader
Discover local lifestyles and traditions of northern indigenous peoples on an array of winter activities in and around Churchill, including an authentic dog sled ride
Arrive in Winnipeg and transfer to the Fort Garry Hotel. Built in 1913 by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, the French chateau-style hotel remains the grande dame of Manitoba's prairie capital, offering first-class hospitality. Enjoy a welcome dinner this evening with your Expedition Leader and fellow travelers. (D)
Winnipeg - Tundra Train
In preparation for our northern lights encounters, we attend a planetarium program at the Manitoba Museum focused on the science of the aurora borealis. We'll also tour exhibits reflecting the natural and human heritage of the province, including the history of Canada's northern indigenous cultures. Contingent on the train schedule, we board the Hudson Bay Railway to Churchill around midday. As darkness falls, make your way to the train's new glass-domed observation car for possible sightings of the northern lights. You may even see them from inside your own private sleeper cabin, outside the large picture window. (B)(L)(D)
Tundra Train
Continuing northward on the train, leave the southern prairies behind and enter the landscape of the subarctic. Enjoy the view of the wild expanse beyond from the domed observation car. Open plains transition to boreal forest, also called taiga, the coniferous zone that encircles the planet beneath the Arctic Circle and comprises one-third of Earth's forests. We disembark at Thompson for several hours, with time to eat lunch in town and view the frozen waterfall at Pisew Falls Park. Back on board this afternoon, watch stunted spruce trees and boggy muskeg give way to frozen tundra as we continue toward Churchill, a frontier town on the edge of Hudson Bay that's accessible only by rail or air. The "tundra train" is relaxing and comfortable, and each cabin has its own private bathroom. At night, we may get a preview of the northern lights outside the large individual windows of our sleeper cabins, and from the observation car. (B)(L)(D)
On arrival in Churchill, we transfer to our hotel and take a brief tour of this historic northern outpost. The Hudson's Bay Company established a fort here in 1717 as part of its fur-trading network across the Canadian North, but indigenous cultures were already flourishing here against the harsh Arctic climate for thousands of years. Explore Churchill's heritage and traditions with an array of local activities: Meet a local dog musher and take a dog sled ride through the boreal forest, visit the Eskimo Museum, and enjoy cultural programs featuring the arts and traditions of the Inuit, Dene and Metis peoples. Outside town, our Expedition Leader introduces us to northern ecology and the stark yet alluring winter landscape. As night falls, we await nature's magic: the spectacle of the aurora borealis, the legendary northern lights. Each evening holds an opportunity to witness the phenomenon in warmth and comfort. Our custom-designed Aurora Pod® features 360-degree views of the night sky through its glass walls and roof. Another view on the lights takes place in Plexiglass Aurora Domes positioned outside town in complete darkness. Relax on the sofas below, or climb the ladder to the upper level for an unimpeded circular view of the heavens. Often, the aurora begins as a white glow low in the sky that slowly starts to shift and undulate. Wavy patterns evolve, colors may appear and change, until the lights become shimmering curtains of green. Sometimes we even see yellow, red or purple tones. For centuries, the phenomenon of the northern lights was a mystery, inspiring a host of mythical explanations. While we now know the aurora is caused by the interaction of the solar wind with Earth's magnetic field, more poetic stories of their origins linger, including the Hudson Bay Inuit's belief that the lights are the ethereal display of their ancestors' souls dancing in the sky. Of course, since the lights are a natural phenomenon, we are never guaranteed to see them, but Churchill has some of the most frequent and intense auroral activity on the planet—meaning our odds are very good! (B)(L)(D)
See Day 4 for today's itinerary. (B)(L)(D)
Churchill - Winnipeg
The morning is free to wander Churchill's main street, where several locally owned shops offer authentic local handicrafts from traditional mukluks to caribou-hair sculptures. We then transfer to the airport for our flight back to Winnipeg. This evening, gather for a farewell dinner. (B)(L)(D)
After breakfast, our northern lights tour comes to a close with a transfer to the airport for flights home. (B)

There are many people doing yoga these days. But is yoga for Bible-believing followers of Christ?
We live in a world where two dimensions intersect: physical and spiritual. From the beginning, Satan wanted to be like God. Isaiah 14:12-14 describes Lucifer's five "I will" statements. The last one says, "I will make myself like God." Satan wants our worship, and he will do anything it takes to make that happen.
I went to a women's event at a small fitness studio owned by a sweet new believer. There were Bible verses on the walls and Christian music playing as we followed her exercise routine. She encouraged us and even stopped to pray for us. I wondered if we were doing yoga. The thought came and went many times throughout the routines. She didn't call it yoga, nor did she use any familiar yoga terms, so I continued going along with her positional stretches.
A few days later, I woke with terrible pain in my abdomen. The pain went through to my back and made any position uncomfortable. Trying everything to rid my body of the pain, I changed my diet, thinking I was reacting to dairy products. I ate little food, even fasting, hoping it would help, but still, the pain continued.
After two weeks, I believed I had cancer growing inside my gut. Overwhelming fear overtook my rational thinking and told me I was dying.
I intended to go to church on Sunday morning and ask our prayer warriors to pray over me. But that morning, the pain was worse, so I decided to stay home. The Holy Spirit reminded me no one would pray for me unless I went to church. I asked the Lord to help me feel good enough to go.
During prayer, a friend said she felt impressed by the Spirit that my illness came from something I had done at the women's event. She told me it was not physical, but a spiritual issue and to ask the Lord to show me what it was. When I did, God revealed it was the "yoga" I had done.
My friend rebuked the pain and the spirit associated with it. God healed me at that moment. I also asked the Lord to forgive me for taking part in the yoga routine.
He taught me a valuable lesson about the power of yoga. It is far from innocent.
An elder at our church, born and raised in India, taught a class on Eastern religion. After receiving permission from the Lord and knowing God would protect him, Doug's former Indian pastor released him to join the yoga school so he could learn and then teach others the dangers of this practice.
Doug explained what I had experienced was the Kundalini spirit. It is a snake-like demonic spirit associated with yoga that sits at the base of the spine and causes tremendous pain.
Christian music and prayer do not make this ancient practice a Christian exercise. Dismissing its foundations by turning yoga into a sanguine practice is impossible. An evil spirit doesn't leave because you call something godly.
Cutting down a tree does not kill its roots. They are still in place. My husband had to chop down many live trees on our property. Getting rid of roots is difficult; they go deep, traveling far and deep to find water and nourishment for the tree. You can only kill roots by pulling them out of the ground.
Yoga has spiritual roots in an ungodly religion. Created as part of a ritual to serve and worship false gods, it opens our mind to other spirits as we practice it, even if we are meditating on God. You cannot remove the roots from yoga.
We must seek God and His wisdom regarding yoga. What is the worst thing He can say? "No"?
God wants what is best for us. He wants to protect us. The Holy Spirit tried to protect me, but I did not listen. And in my case, I suffered the consequences.

Savall, Rock Star of the Viol
by Susan Miron
June 21, 2011 June 20, 2011 by Susan Miron
Jordi Savall, Shane Shanahan, and Paul O'Dette (Andre-Costantini photo)
Jordi Savall, the Rock Star of the Viol, thrilled a packed audience of Early Music people at Jordan Hall at five on Thursday, June 16. Cash and credit cards flew as his throngs of fans aggressively elbowed each other to get at his recordings at intermission. This was a CD buying frenzy the likes of which this mild-mannered reporter has never witnessed. Yet, even I bought two at $25 a pop.
For this concert, he chose to play with Paul O'Dette on cittern and lute and Shane Shanahan on bodhrán (an Irish drum). Much of this music had been recorded by Savall and the Baroque harpist Andrew Lawrence-King, and it took these ears a bit of volume adjustment getting used to the quieter lute sound, lovely though it was.
Savall's mystical and personal program notes were taken largely from his liner notes in these CDs ("The Celtic Viol: In praise of transmission"). Unlike some Oriental cultures which have evolved chiefly within an oral tradition, he writes, in the West only those types of music commonly known as traditional, popular, or folk music have been preserved, thanks to unwritten means of transmission. … All music passed on and preserved by the oral tradition is the result of a felicitous survival following a long process of selection and synthesis."
His exploration of forgotten musical voices began in 1965, when he fell under the spell of the viola da gamba. Ten years later he chose to explore the music of the Spanish Jews (before their expulsion in 1492). "The terrible amnesia caused by our loss of knowledge of ancient music practice," he wrote, keeps us from appreciating the worth and depth of this so-called "popular" or "folk" music of many cultures — including that of the Celtic Lands — represented most famously by Turlough O'Carolan (the blind, early Irish harpist (1670-1738) known for his many beautiful melodies), where only the melody survives. Savall began to get interested in Celtic music in 1977 (this is not a musician who does things in half-measures), and when the extraordinary manuscripts were discovered (including the Manchester Gamba book which offered more than 30 tunings or scordatura (ital) tuning for the viola, along with bagpipe tunings for the viola), he realized he had his work cut out for him. From then on, he kept on researching Celtic music (Irish and Scottish), astonished to find so much documented historical material- more than ten thousand pieces.
The five o'clock concert began with the house lights turned out and only four stage lights on over the performers. Each of the concert's five sets contained four or five pieces, usually alternating between fast and slow tempi. Sometimes one performer would start, then another one or two join in, sounding like a Celtic jam session (although each musician used music). The music would go seamlessly from one piece to another, keeping the audience in the trancelike pleasure begun at the start of each set. Savall alternated between a six-string treble viol, which sounded like and was the size of a violin, and the seven-string bass or lyra viol which was tuned to the bagpipe scordatura. He admits that although his approach of a musician who has had to spend years learning this music rather than being born into the tradition as a "true fervent tribute to the art of transmission" to those who, for generations, have passed it on and kept it alive.
The concert's repertoire offered everything from jigs, airs, reels and rants, to laments. Savall's fans were happy no matter what he played, in part because everything was played with such charisma, beauty, and when needed, gusto. It didn't hurt that his two-piece back-up band was just terrific. The lute was occasionally strummed, but that role went mostly to the cittern. The most moving set, to these ears, was The Lamento Set, which included a heart-rending "Lament for the Death of his Second Wife" by Neil Gow (1727-1807) and the tragic solo viol piece, "Macpherson's Lament." According to legend Savall told quietly from the stage, before Macpherson's execution, he played this piece. He then offered his instrument to anyone who would take it, but his audience was understandably spooked. So, he broke it in two, and died. Songs don't get sadder than this one, or more beautifully played. The (comparatively) famous "Carolan's Farewell" in the last set for treble viola nd lute was a gem of beautiful musicianship. A brilliant concert by a brilliant artist.
Susan Miron is a book critic, essayist, and harpist. Her last two CDs featured her transcriptions of keyboard music of Domenico Scarlatti.
Does Ms. Miron know something others don't about Andrew Lawrence King's departure from this world? Or, as Mark Twain once said, are the reports greatly exaggerated? I certainly hope so.
One other comment: we know nothing, alas, about the music of the Spanish Jews pre-1492. The musical traditions of modern Sephardic Jewry, besides being beautiful in and of themselves, may well give us facinating clues and suggestions regarding a distant past, but we see (and hear) as through a glass darkly.
Comment by Joel Cohen — June 20, 2011 at 6:04 pm
Hello Joel,
I was fortuitously wrong about the premature death. He is apparently alive and well.
What I believe I (and Mr. Savall) was referring to were the melodies of the pre-1492 Spanish Jews, not the traditions. I hope this clarifies this matter.
A fellow harpist must have told me about the premature death a while back, and before I ever write that someone is dead, I'll check when in any doubt.

Partial Purification of a Binding Protein for Polychlorinated Biphenyls from Rat Lung Cytosol: Physicochemical and Immunochernical Characterization
Johan Lund, Lena Nordlund, Jan Åke Gustafsson
A binding protein for certain methyl sulfone metabolites of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) was partially purified from lung cytosol of untreated female rats. The protein has an Mr of 13 000 and a pI of 5.3 in the absence of reducing agents. In the presence of dithioerythreitol or β-mercaptoethanol, the protein is split into subunits with a more basic pI. The 13-kDa protein was electroeluted from SDS-polyacrylamide gels, and an antiserum against the protein was raised in rabbit. The immunoglobulin fraction was shown to contain monospecific antibodies against the 13-kDa protein as determined by Western immunoblots. The antibodies retained partially purified binding protein labeled with radioactive ligand when subjected to protein A-Sepharose chromatography and caused a shift in the elution of the labeled protein from Sephadex G-75 and a shift in its sedimentation behavior on sucrose gradients. Due to striking similarities in physicochemical characteristics of the 13-kDa protein and a protein purified from rabbit lung and uterus, uteroglobin, the anti 13-kDa protein antibodies were tested for cross-reactivity. As judged by Western immunoblots, the anti 13-kDa protein antibodies did not cross-react with uteroglobin and the two proteins, although similar, do not seem to be identical. The 13-kDa protein is proposed to be responsible for the accumulation of certain methylsulfonyl-PCBs in lung tissue of rats. Monospecific antibodies against the 13-kDa protein should constitute immunochemical probes of great value in attempts to elucidate the physiological role of the protein as well as its possible role in PCB-induced respiratory toxicity.

The immunoglobulin fraction was shown to contain monospecific antibodies against the 13-kDa protein as determined by Western immunoblots. The antibodies retained partially purified binding protein labeled with radioactive ligand when subjected to protein A-Sepharose chromatography and caused a shift in the elution of the labeled protein from Sephadex G-75 and a shift in its sedimentation behavior on sucrose gradients. Due to striking similarities in physicochemical characteristics of the 13-kDa protein and a protein purified from rabbit lung and uterus, uteroglobin, the anti 13-kDa protein antibodies were tested for cross-reactivity. As judged by Western immunoblots, the anti 13-kDa protein antibodies did not cross-react with uteroglobin and the two proteins, although similar, do not seem to be identical. The 13-kDa protein is proposed to be responsible for the accumulation of certain methylsulfonyl-PCBs in lung tissue of rats. Monospecific antibodies against the 13-kDa protein should constitute immunochemical probes of great value in attempts to elucidate the physiological role of the protein as well as its possible role in PCB-induced respiratory toxicity.",
