A single cause for anorexia nervosa has not been discovered. While some researchers believe social pressures affect an anorexic's body image, others believe psychological disorders or physical problems (such as serotonin imbalances) may be to blame.
The idea that public opinion and social pressure causes anorexia nervosa has been considered as a possible cause for some time. Many western industrialized cultures equate thinness with an ideal body image. Thinness and low body weight is equated with beauty and success. By extension, overweight or obese individuals are equated with ugliness, a lack of success, and an implied lack of self-control.
However, the social vision of the "perfect" body is simply not attainable for most people. Simple biology prevents the average American woman, who weighs 140 lbs and stands 5'4″ tall, from conforming to a body image idealized by fashion models who stand 5'11" tall and weigh only 117 lbs. (it's worth noting that fashion models, under intense pressure to conform to this ideal body image, are at higher than normal risk of anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders).
The conflict between actual and desired body image is thought to trigger anorexia in some people. Teenagers are especially vulnerable to social and peer pressure, which may explain why peak rates of anorexia occur in the teen years. According to statistics from the National Eating Disorders Association, by the time they reach college, 92 percent of young women have tried to control weight through dieting, and 22 percent "often" or "always" diet.
However, while there is no question that social pressure and idealized body image plays a role in anorexia nervosa, social pressure alone probably does not cause the eating disorder. The majority of people exposed to the social message of the "ideal body" do not develop anorexia nervosa. Nor does every woman unhappy with her body image (eighty percent of American women are dissatisfied with their body image) become anorexic. It seems that social pressure may be a trigger for anorexia, but some other underlying problem must be present for this to occur.
Somewhat related to social pressure, is the theory that family dynamics may affect teen health and contribute to eating disorders. Anorexics often come from families with high levels of rigidity or control. Teen health may be affected by these restraints as the teenager's need to assert independence develops. Anorexia can be seen as a method of asserting self-control over body image, and asserting independence from the family group.
If the family is dysfunctionally overprotective and close, individual family members can become dependant on the family for identity. A child or teen who relies on her place in the family for identity may develop anorexia due to a fear of growing up. Teen health problems associated with anorexia nervosa include growth retardation and a delay in physical maturation, which allows the teen to continue her role of "child" in the family unit.
Other anorexics come from families that overemphasize appearance, fitness and thinness, or have parents who consistently criticized their body shape or weight. A family history of sexual abuse, physical abuse, or substance abuse increases the risk of anorexia nervosa.
Psychologically, certain personality traits increase the risk of anorexia. People with anorexia nervosa often have low self-esteem, and suffer from feelings of insufficiency. They may have rigid thought patterns, and have an almost compulsive need to control their lives. Externally, anorexics may appear as effective people going all-out in all areas of their lives, and striving to overachieve in careers, sports, or schoolwork as well as weight loss.
People with anorexia nervosa are often perfectionists, who are overly critical of themselves. Anorexics also tend to socially isolate themselves, and to avoid conflict when possible.
Anorexia nervosa often arises alongside other mental health disorders, including clinical depression, anxiety, and symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder. Whether depression and other mental health disorders trigger anorexia or not is difficult to determine. Starvation results in a number of psychological health complications, including depression, anxiety, social isolation, mood and personality changes, an obsessive thinking. Mental health disorders in anorexics may be a result of anorexia nervosa, rather than the cause of the eating disorder.
Many people experience these life events for the first time in their teen years, which may partially explain why anorexia affects teens more often than adults.
Once anorexia nervosa develops, the eating disorder tends to reinforce itself. Positive comments on weight loss by peers or family members in the initial stages of anorexia may reinforce the desire to continue losing weight. The eating disorder may give the anorexic a feeling of power, self-control, or virtue.
Evidence suggests that physical changes to normal brain function may trigger anorexia nervosa. For instance, defects in the brain's hypothalamus may affect an individual's perceptions of appetite, hunger, and stomach fullness.
Genetically, people with close family members who are anorexic are more likely than normal to develop anorexia nervosa. A study at Maudsley Hospital in London, England, discovered that anorexics are twice as likely to have gene variations in the brain's serotonin receptors, implying a connection between serotonin and anorexia.
Serotonin is a brain chemical that plays a role in the control of emotions. Serotonin is also a factor in sexual response, impulse control, anger, sleep patterns, depression, anxiety, and hunger perceptions. Serotonin imbalances are associated with clinical depression and anxiety, two mental health disorders often found with anorexia nervosa.
The genetic variant in serotonin receptors found in anorexics may predispose them to high levels of serotonin. At high levels, serotonin can lead to health disorders such as anxiety. Serotonin levels decrease without access to food, so the self-starvation associated with anorexia will leave the person feeling calmer. As starvation reduces serotonin to very low levels, depression may set in.
Once the person eats again, serotonin levels rise again because the body requires certain amino acids to manufacture serotonin. The increase in serotonin may re-trigger anxiety symptoms. Some researchers fear this causes a vicious cycle in people predisposed to anorexia nervosa. Over time, the anorexic subconsciously learns to avoid anxiety by avoiding food thereby maintaining low serotonin levels.
So again, what causes anorexia? While the search for answers continues, researchers are beginning to understand how complicated the question is. At present, most researchers believe that anorexia results from a number of factors. Social pressure, mental health disorders, or sudden life changes appear to trigger an as-yet undetermined predisposition for anorexia. Whether this cause is physical or psychological remains to be determined. If serotonin levels are indeed discovered to be the catalyst for anorexia, the answer may bridge physical and psychological causes.

These Coconut-Lime White Chocolate Pretzels are delicious and were an accidental discovery. I had just made some super yummy Key Lime Pie Truffles, and there was some melted white chocolate left over. I couldn't let something like that go to waste! And right there on the counter were leftover pretzels from these, and some toasted coconut and lime zest from the aforementioned truffles. It was meant to be.
These pretzels are so easy, but so nummy! These have some of my most favorite flavors, but with a new sweet and salty twist. They would be perfect for a party, and certain to be a big hit!
These kinds of treats are some of my favorite. They don't take a lot of effort, but they sure do have a lot of flavor. And they're some of my favorite flavors: coconut and lime. Plus you've got that white chocolate in the which brings it all together. Literally holding it all together.
Toast your coconut by adding to a pan over medium heat and heat until golden, making sure to swish the pan or stir the coconut often so it gets evenly browned.
When done, sprinkle on cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Mix lime zest in with the coconut so that both are evenly distributed and in one even layer.
Melt white chocolate according to the directions on the package.
Dip pretzels halfway into chocolate, then immediately press one half into the coconut and lime mixture.
Place, coconut-lime side down, on a separate piece of wax or parchment paper to set.
These cookies have all the goodness of German Chocolate Cake, and are super simple.
I love fancied up pretzels and the combo of coconut and lime is always fantastic. Can't wait to try these!


The seat of Kooyong has only ever been held by the Liberal party, being governed by Liberal heavyweights such as our longest-serving Prime Minister Robert Menzies. It's traditionally been one of their safest seats in the country, and yet the numbers show that this time around we can kick Liberal MP Josh Frydenberg out for good.
Let's hit the streets and show the Liberals that none of their seats are 'safe' when you attack our pay, working conditions, and public services!

Work, First-Person Shooter, Alliance of Valiant Arms, Video Game
Alliance of Valiant Arms, often abbreviated AVA, is an online First-Person Shooter developed by South Korean-based Red Duck and distributed by several companies in various regions. the game uses the Unreal 3 engine and has several game modes; Annihilation (team deathmatch), Escort, Convoy, Escape, Demolition, Domination (king of the hill), Cross Steal (capture the flag), AI Mission (co-op vs. opposing NPC's), Free for All (deathmatch), and Infection (zombies). Players can play as either the European Union or the Neo-Russian Federation and choose from the Pointman, Rifleman, or Sniper classes.
Alliance of Valiant Arms has examples of:
AKA-47: Subverted; while most of the weapons use names pretty much the same as their real-world counterparts, there are upgraded versions available that will often have a "MK.3" designation tacked on the end to denote their superiority to the vanilla versions. There's also a few weapons that play this trope straight; the "Remington R4" for example is in fact a Remington R5 RGP; an M4-like assault rifle that uses a gas-piston system instead of the M4's direct impingement system.
Allegedly Free Game: The game is free to download and play, but there are two types of in-game currency; 'Euros' which you earn by winning matches and completing assorted challenges and such, and 'G-Coins', which you have to purchase using real-world money. Some weapons and equipment are only purchasable with G-Coin funds.
Banned In Some Places: The game is only available in some regions, and regions where the game -is- available have some of the weapons unavailable, such as the US and Europe.
Bling Bling Bang: There are versions of various weapons in the game with rather flashy custom paint jobs which are meant to be highly upgraded, modified versions of their normal counterparts.
Boom! Headshot!: Shots to the head deal extra damage and are a one-shot kill with sniper rifles. Even has a special icon on the kill feed when a player scores one, regardless of what weapon they were using to do it.
Bribing Your Way to Victory: You can buy parts and accessories for your weapons to increase their combat effectiveness as well as body armor & other gear to improve your survivability.
Calling Your Attacks: Throwing a grenade will automatically make the player-character shout that they're doing just that.
Car Fu: The tank in Escort missions, despite being incredibly slow, can still mow down unwary players on both teams who get caught in front of it.
Cherry Blossoms: The "TAR-21 Cherry" is a Tavor TAR-21 bullpup assault rifle painted with pink cherry blossoms. It was only available from mid-March to late April, which is roughly the same time when cherry trees typically bloom.
Cold Sniper: The Sniper class, naturally. Any other class can get in on this too by grabbing weapons from slain Snipers.
Color Coded for Your Convenience: A subtle example; the NRF faction wear uniforms with shades of blue, grey, and other 'cold' colors while the EU faction have green, tan, and other more 'earthy' colors to their uniforms.
Do Not Run with a Gun: Subverted; trying to shoot your weapon while sprinting will fire your weapon, but will immediately put you back into the normal walking pace.
Friendly Fireproof: Friendly fire is disabled by default. Comes in handy when you're hammering away at an enemy and one of your buddies carelessly strays into your field of fire.
Guns Akimbo: The Korean version of the game has several secondary weapons that can be wielded in this fashion, namely the Steyr TMP and the Barbatos version of the Beretta 92FS pistol.
Improvised Weapon: One of the melee weapons the player can buy is a metal cafeteria tray!
Jack of All Stats: The Rifleman class is pretty much intended to be a middle ground between the Sniper and Pointman classes; more generalized stats and abilities than the other two, and has an assault rifle that is effective in both close and long-range combat, but is generally outperformed by the Pointman's submachine gun in close-quarters combat and the Sniper's rifle in long-range combat.
Kukris Are Kool: One of the available melee weapons the player can purchase; the 'Boa Kukri'.
Lightning Bruiser: The Pointman class is the quickest of the three classes and carries a submachine gun or shotgun that makes him incredibly deadly in close-quarters.
Night Vision Goggles: The player can use these to see in low light conditions, though their battery life is limited and will run out with prolonged usage without a chance to recharge.
Pretty Little Headshots: The corpses left behind by fallen enemies won't have a drop of blood on them regardless of how gruesome a death they met, but will occasionally leave sizeable amounts of blood splatter on nearby walls.
Qurac: Some maps (such as "Scorpion") are set in generic middle-eastern locales.
Ragdoll Physics: The game employs this as part of the Unreal 3 engine it runs on. This can occasionally lead to the bodies of slain players ending up in rather amusing positions after they expire.
Rare Guns: The game has some weapons that either never made it past the prototype stage or were still in limited production at the time the game was released.
Revolvers Are Just Better: The Python 357 revolver is the most powerful pistol in the game; even moreso than the Desert Eagle.
Russians With Rusting Rockets: The Neo Russian Federation faction; a near-future Russia under a new Communist regime engaging in an expansionist campaign against their European neighbors.
Short-Range Shotgun: The shotguns available to the Pointman class are incredibly devastating up close, but their damage drops off significantly as the range to the target increases.
Shout-Out: One of the weapons, the "Winchester M1887S" shotgun, is an obvious reference to the weapon carried by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Not only does it have the sawed-off barrel & stock, but the player-character even flip-cocks it just like the titular robot from the film.
Standard FPS Guns: Pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, hand grenades, rocket launchers, and sniper rifles.
Tank Goodness: The "Escort" game mode has the European Union faction escorting a Leopard 2A6 tank from one end of the map to the other. Players can even man the machine gun mounted atop the tank to lay down suppressing fire on the NRF faction. The NRF's objective is to delay the tank's advance for as long as possible, using RPG-7 rocket launchers to disable it.
Throw-Away Guns: The player can grab a dropped weapon at any time during gameplay, though this of course involves the player throwing aside the weapon they're presently using.
Translation Convention: The European Union faction, despite what the name implies, all speak English with either British or American accents. Averted with the NRF, who all speak Russian.
Twenty Minutes Into the Future: The backstory for the game (which was released in 2007) states that the in-game conflict was the result of the Soviet Union reforming and engaging in an expansionist military campaign in 2009.
Urban Warfare: Most of the maps are set in urban settings. The map "Rising Dust" is even described as being set in downtown Frankfurt, Germany.
Zerg Rush: The main strategy of the weaker robots in "battlegear begins" and the inmates in "suppression".
Zombie Apocalypse: The main premise of the "Infection" game mode.

Color Guide: CHOOSE your color ring based on your style preference.
I love the colour. The wig could be a little longer but the texture is just great. This is a very natural looking wig. it's seem full and realistic. I think the price is fair for what you get!
It has a lot of hair in it and I like it that way. It adds needed width to my face, and is very flattering. It is easy to style with my fingers and always looks beautiful. I am constantly receiving compliments on it, and no one dreams it is a wig. It is also very durable and holds the style perfectly. It didn't need to be trimmed at all, and actually looks better on than it does in the picture. Because it has so much hair in it you may need to try styling it a few different ways to discover how it looks best on you. I suggest wearing it around the house a few times to get used to it before you wear it outside.
It looks great but had to have it trimmed by my hairdresser. I have gotten many compliments on it. After I washed it, it wasn't as good but still ok. I have bought another just like it.


My favorite part of being a brewer is knowing that I have created something. Specifically, something that people can enjoy together while enjoying each other's company. There is something very rewarding to that.
In my personal life, my parents Gaston and Lise, who worked exceptionally hard to ensure that their children were raised properly and in a loving home. In brewing, I really look up to Paul Saylor (Zero Gravity) and Steve Parkes (Drop-In brewing). They're both exceptionally talented brewers who are also always willing to lend a helping hand and words of advice and encouragement. If I can be half the brewer and mentor that they are to me, I will consider my time in this industry a smashing success.
I love to make things. Whether it be cheese, beer, guitars or soap, I have a passion and need to create things.
Sleeping - which I don't get to do very often right now.
Anywhere that is quiet and allows my wife Nicole and I to relax and enjoy each other's company without the stresses of the business or parenthood looming. With my schedule right now, we often don't get much more than a dinner date - but I'm thankful to have those moments together.
Facebook. I love Twitter and Instagram as well, but Facebook allows me to share pictures and tell stories and truly share something engaging in a way that I feel is missing from the other platforms.
probrewer.com. It's a forum for professional brewers asking questions and sharing knowledge.
I'm fortunate to have done this already: Mr Antonio Pomerleau. He's exceptionally insightful and is always free with his advice and wisdom - hard earned over his 80+ years in business in VT.
This is a toss-up: On the one hand, I love seeing people excited about St Albans again; it's a great little city worth exploring. On the other hand, the day we were able to hire new employees and pay them liveable wages was a milestone for me in that I was now responsible to someone other than myself for the success of the business.
Personally, I'm involved in several fraternal orders benefitting the community. Additionally I serve on the St Albans City Economic Restructuring Committee and as a guest lecturer in Norwich University's business department, sharing my experiences both as a Soldier and Entrepreneur. We utilize our business' popularity to raise money for various charitable events and organizations, including the Vermont National Guard Charitable Foundation and Purple Hearts Reunited (a organization return lost or stolen medals of valor to the servicemen and women who earned them or their families), as well as organizing food drives and community works. Starting in the Spring 2015, we'll be mobilizing the "14th Star Army", organizing fans of the brewery to work hands-on with us on local projects that will benefit those in need or to improve and strengthen our community. Our greatest goal as a business is to help make our local community and state a better, more enjoyable and fulfilling place to live and raise a family. All of our community support activities are geared to that end.


Competitor Spotlight – Week 9.
I have done about 10 adventure races since March 2015.
Hard to say. I enjoyed Quest Glendalough because of the views. I loved the run in the Moxie Adventure Race, going in through rivers and under bridges is good craic! I don't have a specific.
I love the Alps and Mont Blanc. I taken my motorcycle up into the alps on camping trips. Ive never had the opportunity to run there yet. I cant wait for that day!
People. The ones that tell me I cant do something inspire me. The people that say oh, that race is too tough, to long or too dangerous for you inspire me. Their negative attitudes motivates me to keep moving. The people that get up and do something knowing they don't have good support or top fitness, that struggle but refuse to not finish inspire me.
From here, 2 or 3 Adventure races, 2 more half marathons, 1 full marathon and the Garmin skyline mountain race in October.
I really don't listen to music when I'm training or in a race.
I'm currently using a Giant tcx slr2. It's a cyclocross bike with road tyres.
Hydrate all week and make sure I'm eating right. I'll only do light runs or cycles.
If the race is an afternoon start Ill grab an early breakfast roll and get a nap. If the race is an early start i'll just hydrate and eat something light.
For adventure races id say around 55km at the moment.
This years Quest Glendalough was very pretty. The weather was epic! I ran in the Tatra mountains in Poland last year. That was stunning! Going up the back of Mount Brandon in the Dingle Adventure Race was beautiful!
Yes i use them. I'll try and use the lightest i can get.
Believe in your ability. Don't be afraid to dig deep and push a little harder. You are more than able to go further than your head tells you!

AG Sessions calls for permanent renewal of 'domestic spying program'
US Attorney General Jeff Sessions is pushing to permanently renew the controversial section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) following Tuesday's terrorist attack that killed eight people in Manhattan.
Speaking to law enforcement officials and attorneys at the Southern District US Attorney's office in lower Manhattan on Thursday, Sessions outlined a three-pronged security strategy, including President Donald Trump's embattled travel ban, securing government access to electronic devices, and surveillance of non US citizens overseas, calling it "not a political matter, but a safety matter."
A key component of this strategy, Section 702 originated as part of a broad surveillance program from the George W. Bush-era that allowed the FBI, CIA and NSA to spy on people in the US and abroad without a warrant. Congress passed Section 702 following the 2005 revelation that the government had been spying on the communications of US citizens' internet communications and phone calls with foreigners.
With Section 702 set to expire in just 59 days, Sessions called on Congress to pass its renewal "before Christmas" and without sunset provisions, making it permanent.
The proposed changes to Section 702 would vastly expand its application to any criminal proceeding that "affects, involves, or is related to" US national security. The bill does not permit judicial review, preventing any judge from challenging Sessions' interpretation of national security. Critics of the bill have called it a 'domestic spying program.'
Dear @SenatorBurr: I wasn't going to write this post but you went and turned 702 into a domestic spying program so I had to. Your doing. https://t.co/AuQTYQZjwm
— emptywheel (@emptywheel) October 23, 2017
Sessions also criticized technology firms for not allowing the government to access encrypted evidence for terror investigations.
"Over the past year the FBI was unable to get open access to over 7,500 electronic devices even though there were court orders to do so," Sessions said.
US govt expands warrantless surveillance of Americans
"We know, for example, that the terrorist who targeted an event in Garland, Texas, in 2015 sent more than 100 instant messages to a terrorist overseas — just on the morning of the attack," Sessions said. "What we don't know, however, is what he said — because those messages are encrypted."
A '60 Minutes' investigation later revealed that an undercover FBI agent posing as a jihadist had encouraged one of the Garland attackers to "tear up Texas," and was present at the event during the shooting.
On Tuesday, Uzbek immigrant Sayfullo Saipov drove a rental truck into bicyclists and bystanders in New York on Tuesday, killing 8 people and injuring a dozen more.
Sessions called for ending the diversity lottery program, under which Saipov came to the US in 2010, and advocated replacing it with the proposed merit-based RAISE Act.
"A merit based system would be a boon to our economy and to our wages, I have no doubt," Sessions said.
The RAISE Act would reshape the US immigration system from a family-based system to an employment-based system. The bill would cut down on legal low-wage workers and give heavy preference to highly-skilled applicants.This would drastically reduce legal immigration by cutting family-sponsored immigration visas.

Rahel Bin-Gorion (; geboren als Rahel Ramberg, ; 20. April 1879 in Vištytis, Russisches Kaiserreich; gestorben 30. Dezember 1955 in Tel Aviv-Jaffa) war eine deutsch-israelische Übersetzerin und Herausgeberin.

Leben
Rahel Ramberg war eine Tochter des jüdischen Verlagsbuchhändlers Jankel Ramberg und der Eiga Lappalias Eyn Lop. Die Familie wohnte in Warschau. Sie absolvierte eine Ausbildung am Zahntechnischen Institut in Warschau und studierte 1899 für ein Jahr Philologie in Berlin. Sie arbeitete als Diplomzahnärztin an der Universität Warschau. 1902 heiratete sie den Schriftsteller Micha Josef Berditschewski (1865–1921) und zog mit ihm nach Breslau, wo sie eine Zahnarztpraxis in einem Armenviertel eröffnete und mit ihrer Arbeit für den Familienunterhalt sorgte. 1903 wurde der Sohn Emanuel geboren.

Die Familie Berditschewski zog 1911 nach Berlin, damit verbunden war die Namensänderung in Bin-Gorion. Ihre Arbeit als Zahnärztin gab sie auf und kümmerte sich um die literarische Übersetzung der von ihrem Mann gesammelten jüdischen Erzählungen aus dem Hebräischen ins Deutsche. Nach dem frühen Tod ihres Mannes sorgte sie sich um dessen literarischen Nachlass, wobei ihr Sohn Emanuel Bin-Gorion sie unterstützte, der sein Geld hauptsächlich als Journalist und Enzyklopädist verdiente. Gemeinsam gaben sie weitere Schriften heraus und bereiteten Neuauflagen vor.

Nach der Machtübergabe an die Nationalsozialisten 1933 flüchteten sie und ihr Sohn 1936 nach Palästina, wo sie in Tel Aviv lebte. Sie übersetzte nun einige der in deutsch geschriebenen Abhandlungen ihres Mannes ins Hebräische.

This article looks at the developments of oil and gas production resulting from hydraulic fracturing ('fracking') of sources of these hydrocarbon in shales and related rocks. The paper concludes that such fracking will change the world geopolitical scene regarding oil and gas supply for a time, and will provide some countries with relatively cheap fuel for many years. But around the world, producing oil and gas by fracking from shales is likely to take a considerable time to be fully implemented. Moreover, in contrast to optimistic recent projections, this paper considers that oil produced by fracking from shales will reduce, but not eliminate, the U.S.'s need to import oil. The paper concludes with an 'Editor's Note' which presents a recent forecast from Wood Mackenzie of U.S. Lower-48 onshore oil production out to 2035. This supports the view that the US is likely to remain an oil importer unless U.S. demand for oil decreases significantly.

Cursos simposios congresos
Advanced Neuroscience Courses in Venice, Summer 2019
Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience Summer 2019
Multiscale Approach to Brain Disorders
Director: Sean Hill (Canada)
Faculty: Michael Milham, Luis de Lecea, Michael Halassa, Andreea Diaconescu, Randy McIntosh, Fabio Ferrarelli
This Advanced Course will focus on novel multi-scale approaches to neuropsychiatry: how can we bridge from genes to circuits and behaviour to improve definition, categorization and precision treatment of brain disorders. Changes in brain circuit excitability are found across most neuropsychiatric disorders and are hypothesized to be a common mechanism of brain disease: during the Advanced Course the latest genetic dissection techniques to reveal the cellular basis of neuromodulation and its impact on cellular excitability, plasticity, behaviour, sleep, mood and network states will be thoroughly analyzed. Find out more
RNA, Epitranscriptomics and Plasticity
Director: Timothy Bredy (Australia)
Faculty: John Mattick, Kate Meyer, Chuan He, Jason Shepherd, Howard Y. Chang, Dan Ohtan Wang
Activity-induced RNA expression is highly dynamic and linked to experience-dependent plasticity in the brain. In neurons, changes in the metabolic state of RNA occur on similar time scales to those for neuronal firing and depolarization, and a variety of factors including chemical modifications to RNA as well as RNA structure, editing and localization play a role. These processes have a profound impact on mRNA as well as the many classes noncoding RNA that are expressed in a temporally- and cell-type-specific, manner in the brain. Emerging findings suggest that these epitranscriptomic mechanisms represent an elusive hidden layer of regulatory control in the brain. In this Advanced Course, how qualitative state changes in RNA can increase the functional diversity and information-carrying capacity of RNA molecules will be analyzed and emphasis will be on advances in the understanding of the epitranscriptome and emerging technologies that can be used to unravel the complex nature of experience-dependent gene regulation in the brain.

Learning and Memory
Director: Susumu Tonegawa (USA)
Co-Director: Sheena Josselyn (Canada)
Faculty: Richard Morris, Yadin Dudai, Laura Colgin, Matt Wilson, Mark Schnitzer
Memory may be defined as the retention over time of internal representations gained through experience, and the capacity to reconstruct these representations at later times. These internal representations are encoded by long-lasting changes to the brain ('engrams'). Recently, a revolution has been brought about by a set of new tools that may be used for investigations and which have permitted the identification of engram-holding neurons for a specific memory thus allowing researchers to ask and answer some of the fundamental questions as to how information provided by an experience is encoded and stored in the brain, and how the stored information is retrieved for recall. This Advanced Course will bring together the world experts in examining memory (and the engrams that support them) at multiple levels of analysis from synapses and neurons to circuits and systems applying a variety of different techniques to animal models in health and diseases. Find out more
The Gut-Brain Axis
Director: Suzanne Dickson (Sweden)
Faculty: Dana Small, Scott Kanoski, Roger AH Adan, Gareth Leng, Richard Palmiter, Carel Le Roux
In recent years there has been a major effort to better understand how the gut communicates to the brain since, embedded within this system, are signals essential for body weight control and brain health. The gut-brain axis provides a conduit for communicating information from the environment (about the composition and quantity of available foods) to diverse brain areas responsible for behaviours that help us seek out and consume food. It now seems clear that signals arising from the gut impact at many brain levels, including pathways involved in food anticipation and reward, on consummatory behaviours (how much, when and what we eat) but also on pathways important for aversion and malaise, on taste perception and food choice as well as on emotion and cognition.

Molecular Basis of Resilience to Depression
Director: Eric J. Nestler (USA)
Faculty: Isabelle Mansuy, Michael Meaney, Scott Russo, Mathias Schmidt, Ian Maze, Kafui Dzirasa, Johannes Gräff
It is well known that a large majority of humans do not develop depression or a related psychiatric syndrome in the face of chronic stress. We also know that many, perhaps most, of the molecular, cellular, and circuit changes in the brain that are induced by stress reflect positive adaptations to achieve resilience. This makes it essential to differentiate those stress-induced changes that are adaptive versus those that are maladaptive. It also raises a fundamentally new strategy for the development of novel antidepressant treatments: in addition to reversing the deleterious effects of stress, to establish ways of inducing mechanisms of natural resilience in those individuals who are inherently more susceptible. This Advanced Course explores the broad range of resilience mechanisms that have been revealed in recent years, and strives uniquely to achieve integration across multiple levels of experimental analysis.

Brain Somatic Mosaicism
Director: Flora Vaccarino (USA)
Faculty: Fred H. Gage, Alexej Abyzov, Jan Vijg, Alexander E. Urban, Joris Vermeesch, Michael McConnell
Somatic mosaicism as pertinent to central nervous system development, function and disease is a rapidly emerging area of research. Somatic genomic variants encompass variation in genomic sequence, such as single nucleotide variations (SNV) and variation in genomic structure, such as copy number variations (CNV): the brain is therefore composed of cells with different genomes (mosaicism). Research on somatic mosaicism in disease will be scrutinized with the distinguished Faculty and the possible function of somatic mosaicism for normal development, early lineages tracing, aging, and various form of neurological and psychiatric conditions will be analyzed in depth.

Single Cell Omics
Director: Scott Fraser (USA)
Faculty: James Eberwine (Co-Director), Amy Herr, Jonathan Sweedler, John Marioni, Ana Pombo, Tatjana Sauka-Spengler
Studies exploiting new technologies for defining the connections in the brain, driving neuronal activity and modeling of neuronal processing are each hampered by our incomplete knowledge of the brain's constituent parts. A bevy of single cell analyses are now being deployed to better understand the cells that constitute the functioning nervous system. These approaches offer insights into how cells function individually as the building blocks for understanding how they work in ensemble to create functional pathways. Find out more
Acute to Chronic Pain
Plasticity and Therapeutic Perspectives
Director: A. Vania Apkarian (USA)
June 1 – 8, 2019
Faculty: Stephen McMahon, Volker Neugebauer, Tony Dickenson, Giandomenico Iannetti, & others
Accumulating evidence points to brain reorganization with chronic pain. Both human brain imaging studies as well as animal model studies specifically interrogating the role of supraspinal plasticity consistently emphasize the role of brain plasticity in chronic pain. Brain functional network properties provide a signature for existence and for emergence of chronic pain both in humans and in animal models for pain chronification and studies show that early medication use is protective against development of chronic pain.

Cognitive NeuroscienceSummer 2019
Neural Circuits of Social Cognition
Director: Larry Young (USA)
Faculty: Richard Mooney, Christian Keysers, Hee-Sup Shin, Dayu Lin, Steven Phelps, Tali Kimchi
Social relationships and communication are essential for well-being, and adaptive social behaviors are essential for survival. Only recently have we begun to understand the neural circuit mechanisms regulating social behavior and its diversity in a rigorous way. Many psychiatric conditions are characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication, so it is essential that we understand the neural mechanisms and circuits regulating complex social behaviors in order to inform novel treatments for conditions such as the autism spectrum.

Novel Technologies for the Study of Cognitive Function
Director: Alcino J. Silva (USA)
Faculty: Ed Boyden, Valentina Emiliani, Loren L. Looger, Michael Hausser, Frank Loren
This Advanced Course will cut across the latest published and unpublished ground-breaking approaches and technical developments in the study of cognitive function, such as novel optogenetic and chemogenetic tools to manipulate molecular, cellular and circuit function with unparalleled temporal and spatial resolution, emerging new in vivo imaging and electrophysiological techniques, powerful new developments in modeling, analyses, and behavioral approaches. Find out more
Cognitive Neuroscience of Thought
Director: Rebecca Saxe (USA)
Faculty: Mina Cikara, Wil Cunningham, Marina Bedny, Hyowon Gweon, Elizabeth Redcay
Fascinating aspects of human psychology and cognition cannot be recreated in animal models, including pedagogy, morality, social group interactions, and complex decision making. Over the past five years, new experimental designs and analysis techniques have dramatically increased the power of noninvasive neuroimaging in humans to address these questions directly. Find out more
Protein Homeostasis and Cognitive Function
Director: Peter Walter (USA)
Co-Director: Mauro Costa-Mattioli (USA)
Faculty: Giovanna Mallucci, Judith Frydman, Kenneth Kosik, Susanna Rosi & others
The brain must adapt to changes in stress conditions, which typically occur as a consequence of environmental and/or genetic factors. To deal with such challenges, the brain utilizes protein homeostasis networks, which are constituted by sensors of cellular stress, such as the mediators of the unfolded protein, the integrated stress and the heat shock responses.We now know that specific proteostasis pathways are crucially required for normal brain processes. For instance, long-lasting changes in synaptic function and long-term memory storage require new protein synthesis and active protein turnover. Find out more

Did You Know: The State with the Highest Number of Universities in Nigeria?
People still take a lot of pride in their academic qualifications; to add to that, people also take a lot of pride in the level of qualification they have attained- Primary School leaving certificate, Secondary School Leaving certificate, a certificate, a diploma or a Bachelor's Degree. This also means that people take pride in the kind of institution they obtain these qualifications from. We could also add that people also take pride in the status of their attended institution; whether recognized and accredited or not. Given all these enhancers of human pride, Ogun state could strut their stuff and cat-walk on the walk-way of academic pride. The reason is simple, Ogun state has the highest number of Universities in Nigeria.
The National Universities Commission (NUC) rank most institutions based on their official accreditation; which is a function of the programmes offered to undergraduate and postgraduate students. On the basis of these, Ogun state has universities that are regarded as institutions that can offer Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate Degrees in various fields of study. These institutions range from public to private institutions and are predominantly supportive of the traditional methods or face-to-face format of knowledge sharing.
Ogun state is one of the states located in the western part of Nigeria. It has a total number of 13 accredited universities which includes the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, two (2) state universities (Olabisis Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye and Tai Solarin Univeristy of Education, Ijebu Ode), and ten (10) private universities. These statistics ranks Ogun state first amongst states with such higher institutions of learning. These universities as earlier stated, comprises of both public and private universities.
Moshood Abiola University of Science, Abeokuta (established as a polytechnic in 1979 but was recently upgraded from a polytechnic to a university of science and technology in 2017).
It is also worthy of note a remarkable number of the private universities are owned by religious organizations or bodies such as churches or different missions outfits. This also impacts on the tuition fees; some of the institutions have very affordable fees (usually the public universities), while others are very exorbitant (usually the private institutions).

The 10 Best Financial Solution Providers to look for in 2019

Euro Exim Bank: Facilitating Global Trade With Novel Financial Services
Mirror Review
The prominence of payments in the global financial services system has undeniably risen over the last few years. In fact, the traditional payment methods have massively transformed to reach its current position, i.e. towards cashless payment systems. Recently, a crypto revolution has taken place in speed and acceptance of real-time payments, enabling cryptocurrency to decrease liquidity and assist buyers where access to fiat currency has become difficult. Euro Exim Bank Ltd (EEB) is focused on providing its customers with a quicker and cheaper payment experience through its wide range of financial instruments and specialized services. It is aiming to be recognized as the 'go to' industry leader in trade finance, building on its experience servicing trade clients economically and efficiently across global locations.
Leveraging Latest Technologies to Deliver Seamless Payment Experience
Headquartered in St. Lucia and with a representative office in London, EEB is a regulated, supervised Bank that has been helping customers with their businesses transactions and connecting them to new opportunities. Backed by years of experience in trade finance, the EEB team supports global buyers with complex financial instruments to assist cross border transactions. The highly qualified specialists utilize advanced technologies, which overcome the restrictions of legacy applications. As a result, they developed their own systems to support the issuance and relay of trade finance instruments worldwide. Currently, the revolutionary financial institution has joined hands with Ripple, using the xCurrent system for payments and recently accomplished the fastest implementation of xRapid, which uses Ripple XRP cryptocurrency as the key element in real-timee settlement processes.
As a prominent financial institution, EEB assists corporates and SME's around the world as they purchase goods cross border for re-sell or directed to industrial hubs for re-manufacture. The company provides its services for almost all industries and verticals, handling transactions in polythene piping, building materials, cars, non-perishable food stuffs, cotton, finished garments, scrap metal, batteries, printing machinery, paper, etc. To further assist its customers, it recently launched Euro Exim Bank Smart Banking applications, available in Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
The Dynamic Duo Leading EEB to Massive Success
The Director of Euro Exim Bank Ltd, Kaushik Punjani, and the Head of Compliance and Operations, Graham Bright are the two powerful pillars helping the St. Lucia-based global financial institution to achieve enormous success. Having an extensive financial background, Kaushik has covered the management and delivery of financial solutions at UK businesses at all levels. He has a unique understanding of both the technical and business requirements. Currently, fully endorsing the CSR policy of the Bank he is leading Rajya Purohit Association of Brahmins U.K. organization as its President.
The technically proficient industry professional, Graham has 35 years of experience (20 years at SWIFT and 5 years spanned in computer services companies). He is a Justice of the Peace, former MD of a European Bank software business and ex-Banking/Investment Management Director of a leading US data storage company. He is also a regular speaker at international trade industry conferences (GTR, TXF) and a frequent contributor to trade journals.
Together, Kaushik & Graham saw immense challenges yet unique opportunities from the trade sector which is experiencing evolving regulatory pressure, non-standard national and international rules, constant threats of corruption, and cybercrime. Moreover, the absence of trust in buyers' financing and intent to settle their financial obligations, limited access to liquidity, often harsh sanctions, and the need to create strong, reliable channels of trade were key factors affecting importers entering the sector. To overcome these obstacles, EEB have spent substantial resources, time and income on assuring regulatory adherence, the efficacy of transactions, trust and security for clients and their company.
Expanding by Conquering the Industry's Obstacles with Team Effort
The dynamic duo believes that in order to thrive and survive in a complex trade ecosystem they need all-inclusive policies, procedures, and functional systems that are easy to adapt and fast to operate. Therefore, EEB's USP is to stay in-sync with the market, maintain close relationships with clients, and to continue the agile creation of instruments. Through this, Kaushik and Graham with their team have developed a unique blockchain-enabled platform, which is totally personalized to their business processes and unlike other available solutions present in the market. Their Simplex trade finance platform incorporates comprehensive workflow, document management, and reformatting and all-important inter-operability between systems.
Kaushik and Graham aim to expand EEB by extending their agent/partner program where local representatives drive revenues, and are on-site to carry out first hand due diligence and create long-term partnerships. Through 2020, they are planning to open new offices in Asia with the potential for other regions to follow. In trade, EEB plans to embed complex details of trade instruments such as Letters of Credit with the payment instruction in Ripple message formats, facilitating real-time, guaranteed delivery and settlement for any instruction across the financial landscape.
Two Vital Catalysts that are going to Make the Trade Industry Better
In the trade industry, countries exchange goods with each other based on their reputation and trust. But, there are certain countries where corruption, confidence and risk of non-recoverable losses prompt global businesses to actively avoid conducting trade. EEB's duo believes that building trust and Free Trade Agreements are just some of the tools to rectify these issues. Consequently, new trade corridors will open to assist trade flows with disintermediated countries, help them out of poverty and allow them to be competitive in global markets with raw materials and foodstuffs. The dynamic duo shares their views on this scenario by asserting, "With more successful infrastructure projects delivered, increased wealth generation and rising domestic demand and confidence, renewed trust is leading to greater sustainable borderless, frictionless, unencumbered trade flows for the good of continents and the population alike."
Forecasting the Future Technological Revolutions
Being industry professionals themselves, Kaushik and Graham have witnessed an unprecedented rise and reach of challenger fintech and payments companies unhindered by legacy. The duo believes that industry transformation will come about when traditional banks invest and upgrade their internal technology and automation, providing the mobile, tablet and smartphone infrastructure, ultimately delivering benefits to demanding end-customers . The dynamic duo also predicts that Blockchain-based applications will become standard.

Five Things We Liked This Week – 05/10/18
Further Listening:
5. Haiku Salut Occupy A New Space
Having recently crashed into the record store charts with There Is No Elsewhere, their third, and quite possibly best, album to date, these are rather exciting times for Derbyshire's Haiku Salut. The instrumental-electroish trio are currently in the middle of a largely sold out tour of their lamp show, think lots of vintage lamps flickering on and off in time to the music, and yet somehow this week found time to release the latest single from the record, Occupy, alongside a virtual reality video.
While Occupy might now have strong political connotations, as Sophie from the band explains, "the title refers to the occupation of your own space and learning to be proud of who you are, a feeling of celebration and pride." The accompanying video celebrates that by depicting a series of moments of happiness and unity, "we got everyone we knew to come and film a tiny moment of joy." All very fitting for a track that is utterly joyous, building from a fluttering Postal Service-like intro, bassier tones soon enter alongside the most gloriously glitchy pulses and reverberating xylophones, there's even a section about two minutes in where for a few seconds it seems to go into a full, glow-stick waving, technicolor rave-up, which is brilliant! Joy, togetherness, pride and occupation, Haiku Salut are band at the peak of their powers, they've never sounded better or more important.
There Is No Elsewhere is out now via Prah Recordings. Click HERE for more information on Haiku Salut.
4. Fightmilk Are Moving On
While we normally try to leave a little gap between raving about the same band twice, we'll make no apologies for mentioning Fightmilk again. The London-based quartet are gearing up to next months release of their debut album, Not With That Attitude, and have this week shared the life-modelling gone wrong video to new single, How You Move On.
How You Move On, is a delightfully crushing admonishment of singer Lily Rae's former squeeze who decided he should mark their break-up by getting a tattoo of an ugly tree over his heart to commemorate their relationships demise; we'll let you make your own mind up as to whether that's a good idea. The rambunctious single, is a shout along triumph, all bombastic guitar riffing, clattering drums and yell-along emotive vocals. As Lily explains, "I like to try and write songs that I'd want to sing at karaoke whilst drunk which explains the chorus. It's entirely designed for post-breakup girls-night-out karaoke." If only more karaoke bars had a set of underground indie-punk bangers available, we'd meet you there!
Not With That Attitude is out November 2nd via Reckless Yes. Click HERE for more information on Fightmilk.
3. When Did Allen Tate Get Like This?
Probably best know as the frontman of orchestral-poppers San Fermin, Allen Tate took his first steps into the solo arena with his 2016 debut, Sleepwalkers, an album that was promising if a little one-dimensional. This week, Allen has shared a new single, When Did I Get Like This, the first track from the follow-up album, In The Waves.
From the second When Did I Get Like This begins, there's an obvious progress to Allen Tate's songwriting. The drums have the bounce of Boxer-era The National, while the vocal, always a wonderful instrument, has all the croon and class of Hamilton Leithauser. Allen even has the good sense to tag a guitar solo onto the end that's surely lifted straight from Boys Don't Cry, and equally wonderful. Discussing the track, Allen has suggested it's about his battles with self-doubt; with songs this exciting, he might be the only person left in any doubt.
When Did I Get Like This is lifted from Allen Tate's second record, In The Waves. Click HERE for more information on Allen Tate.
2. Lala Lala's New Single Has Us Jumping
As well as having possibly the best band name ever, Lala Lala, the project of Chicago-based musician Lillie West, make music that's every bit as good. The band have this week announced they'll be heading over to Europe for the first time early next year, in support of recent album The Lamb, and Lala Lala have also shared the video to their new single, Scary Movie.
Scary Movie is thankfully much better, and more subtle, than the film its title references; Lillie plucks out a repeated guitar pattern, as her vocal, coated in a perfectly judged amount of reverb, takes much of the melodic weight. The result is a sort of fraught beauty, everything sounds perfect, yet there's a melancholy to it. The lyrics with references to immortality, blood-letting and hands around necks, certainly creates an all too real unease. Lillie has suggested the track is about the blurring of reality and fiction, referenced in the video formed of footage Lillie's parents filmed before she was born, as she explains, "this is where I came from, but if I view it as memory, I am technically wrong. It feels real and fake at the same time, which is how every day feels sometimes." An always intriguing artist, Lala Lala looks set to resonate with a much larger audience before the year is out.
The Lamb is out now via Hardly Art. Click HERE for more information on Lala Lala.
1. Check Out The Latest Adwaith Update
Our love for Adwaith is well documented; we've been boring anyone who'll listen silly on just how great the Carmarthen-based trio are since we first heard them back in 2016, and guess what, it turns out people are starting to agree with us, well Welsh people anyway. They've been getting airplay from Huw Stephens on Radio 1, they've been remixed by James Dean Bradfield, they're going on tour with Gwenno, you name it, and it's Welsh, and Adwaith have probably done it. The evidence of Adwaith's brilliance will be there for all to see next week when they release their debut album Melyn (that's yellow for all of you reading in English), and this week they've shared their latest single,Y Diweddaraf.
Y Diweddaraf, which Google informs us means Update, see's Adwaith dialing up the psych-side of their sound, via prominent bass-lines, and a driving beat that Warpaint would be pleased to call their own. Discussing the inspiration behind the track Adwaith suggest it is, "a reaction to everyone saying leaving uni to do music was stupid! It's about feeling empowered to do whatever you want regardless." This is the sound of pursuing your dreams, believing in what you're passionate about and being brave enough to throw your all into it, this is the sound of Adwaith, and we're not going to stop telling you about it anytime soon.
Melyn is out October 12th via Libertino Records. Click HERE for more information on Adwaith.

In the wake of an ongoing federal lawsuit and growing public scrutiny over how Google scans and mines the data of its users, including students, the giant online-services provider has amended its terms of service and privacy policies.
The new terms of service, which went into effect last week, specify that the Mountain View, Calif.-based company analyzes private data, including emails sent and received using its popular Gmail service, for a variety of purposes, including delivery of targeted ads.
"We want our policies to be simple and easy for users to understand," Google spokesman Matt Kallman wrote in a statement, according to the Bloomberg news organization.
One prominent privacy advocate, however, was unimpressed.
"Google's amended terms of service should remove any possible remaining doubt concerning [the company's] lack of commitment to student privacy," said Khaliah Barnes, a lawyer with the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a Washington-based advocacy group.
A group of nine plaintiffs is suing Google, alleging that such data-mining amounts to a violation of federal and state wiretap and privacy laws. At the heart of the issue is the plaintiffs' contention that Google, without users' consent, "intercepts" and scans emails in transit, before they reach the company's servers or a user's inbox. The new terms of service are more explicit in acknowledging that practice.
Last month, Judge Lucy A. Koh of the U.S. District Court in San Jose, Calif., denied a motion to grant the plaintiffs class certification, a major victory for Google.
Two of the plaintiffs in the California lawsuit are university-student users of the company's free Google Apps for Education service. The students allege that their emails were inappropriately scanned by the company, and that the results were used to build "surreptitious user profiles" that could be used for a variety of purposes, including targeted advertising.
Before Google amended its terms of service and privacy policies, a spokeswoman confirmed to Education Week that the company does "scan and index" the email messages of students using Apps for Education. But the company does not target ads to students, she said.
An estimated 30 million people worldwide use Apps for Education, according to the company.

Boston businessman James Walter Tufts sold his soda business in 1895 and purchased 6000 acres of land in the North Carolina Sandhills with the express purpose of building a health resort, and opened the Holly Inn that year. Tufts employed Frederick Law Olmstead ( of Central Park fame ) to design the village and central green for what became the village of Pinehurst. Although the first golf course was laid out in 1897 by a Dr Leroy Culver, it wasn't until Donald Ross was appointed in 1900 that golf really came into it's own at Pinehurst. Scottish born Ross designed over 400 courses in his time, many of which have stood the test of time. He is rightly regarded as one of the finest golf architects the world has seen. Pinehurst no 2 opened in 1907 and Ross declared it was 'the fairest test of championship golf I have ever designed".
Indeed Pinehurst no 2 has now hosted major championships such as the U.S. PGA, the Ryder Cup, The Tour Championship, and a number of U.S. Opens- perhaps the most famous of these was the 1999 Open won dramatically by Payne Stewart.
But Pinehurst Resort wasn't all about the golf, although that is what it is universally known for now. Originally Tufts designed it as a health resort, and riding, hunting, cycling and archery were key activities. In 1916 exhibition shooter Annie Oakley came to Pinehurst Gun Club teaching 125000 people how to shoot in a 5 year period.
But these days it is all about the golf. Pinehurst now has 9 championship course under its care, and the general sandhills area around Pinehurst has many more.
Pinehurst no 2 is the flagship for Pinehurst, and the most famous of its courses. It was designed by Donald Ross, but undertook a major facelift in 2011 when Coore & Crenshaw undertook a year long renovation to revert the course back to the original Donald Ross design concept.
Pinehurst no 5 is an old Ellis Maples design and is regarded as a good test of golf.
Pinehurst no 6 was designed by George Fazio and is longer and harder than 1, 3, & 5.
Pinehurst no 8, by Tom Fazio is also a real championship layout, and one of my favourite courses in the resort.
Don't miss the opportunity to play The Sandhills of Nth Carolina!
The Travelling Golfer offers group golf tours to Pinehurst & The Sandhills of North Carolina. We can tailor a trip to suit your group!

I've been using this recipe for bread when I don't have a lot of time for baking, which happens to be quite often these days!
I am going to try that. I, for whatever reason, just love to try new bread recipes despite the fact that I have many that are just lovely already! Bread is delightfully versatile that way.

Canada's new impaired driving laws are now in effect — here's what to know
Article Originally posted on CBC By Maham Abedi
Canada's new impaired driving laws kick in Tuesday, giving law enforcement new powers when it comes to interacting with drivers.
Alcohol-related impaired driving laws will be updated in the Criminal Code of Canada as of Dec. 18, in order to become comparable with drug-impaired driving laws that were reformed earlier this year.
Changes to both drug and alcohol impaired driving come as part of the former Bill C-46, which aims to make Canada's laws "amongst the strongest in the world."
Here are some key changes:
Mandatory alcohol screening
The new laws will give police officers the authority to demand breathalyzer tests from any driver they pull over. Previously, officers could only test drivers if they had a reasonable suspicion the person was impaired. Any driver who refuses to take the test can be charged.
These stronger laws are similar to ones in several other countries around the world, such as Australia, Denmark, France and Germany. In Ireland, mandatory screening reduced the number of road deaths by about 40 per cent in the first four years it was enforced.
No more 'bolus drinking defence'
Before Dec. 18, drivers could use the "bolus drinking defence," arguing that they consumed alcohol just before driving and it was not absorbed yet.
The new law eliminates this defence, by making it illegal to be at or over the alcohol limit within two hours of being behind the wheel.
Updated penalties
The new law also bumps up the maximum penalties for many alcohol-impaired driving offences.
Formerly, the mandatory minimum fines were: $1,000 for first offence, 30 days imprisonment for second offence, and 120 days in jail for a third offence.
These are the penalties now:
First offence, with blood alcohol content of 80-119 mg: mandatory minimum $1,000 fine
First offence, with blood alcohol content of 120-159 mg: mandatory minimum $1,500 fine
First offence, with blood alcohol content of 160 mg or more: mandatory minimum $2,500 fine
First offence, but refuse to be tested: mandatory minimum $2,000 fine
Second offence: mandatory minimum 30 days imprisonment
Third or more offence: mandatory minimum 120 days imprisonment
Maximum penalties for impaired driving causing no bodily harm or death: summary conviction carries two years less a day imprisonment, indictment carries 10 years imprisonment
Maximum penalties for impaired driving causing bodily harm: Summary conviction for less severe injuries carries two years less a day imprisonment, indictment carries 14 years imprisonment
Maximum penalty impaired driving causing death: life imprisonment
Criticism of new laws
While the new laws have been welcomed by Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada, several groups have raised concerns.
Toronto-based lawyer Michael Engel, who often defends those charged with impaired driving, said the new rules are a big change that raise concerns about baseless searches.
"This is a radical departure from previous law, which insulated people against warrantless searches without probable cause," he said.
Civil rights organizations have also sounded alarms about the new rules, with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association expressing concern that mandatory alcohol screening will unfairly affect racial minorities who are disproportionately singled out by cops for traffic stops.
Impaired driving, by the numbers
Last year, there were more than 69,000 police-reported impaired-driving incidents — about 3,500 were related to drugs.
In 2016, there were more than 70,000 such incidents, and 3,000 were drug-related.
According to federal statistics, an average of almost four people die in Canada daily due to impaired driving.

Buhari appoints aide INEC Commissioner
In yet another move that clearly shows the partisanship and undisguised nepotism, President Muhammadu Buhari has nominated his
highly controversial Special Assistant on Social Media, Mrs. Lauretta Onochie from Delta state as a National Electoral Commissioner of the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Mr. Buhari today asked the Nigerian Senate to approve the nomination of Onochie and three others for the position.
INEC Commissioners assist the Chairman in overseeing the conduct of free and fair elections in their areas of coverage. They must be and
seen to be impartial and non-align to any political party, group or interest.
"With the nomination of his Special Assistant, who is notorious for abusing perceived opponents of the President including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, President Buhari has shown he cares little for rule of law, fairness and justice," Adekola Sanni, a public
affairs commentator said.
Senate President Ahmad Lawan received and read the Presidents letter
at plenary. The letter reads in part: "Pursuant to Paragraph 14 of
Part I(F) of the Third Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended, I hereby forward for confirmation by the Senate, the appointment of the following four (4)
Commissioners for the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC)."
Others nominated are: Prof. Muhammad Sani Kallah (National from
Katsina; Prof. Kunle Cornelius Ajayi from Ekiti and Saidu Babura Ahmad
(Resident Electoral Commissioner) from Jigawa.
Moreover, in a separate letter to the Upper Chamber, also requested
confirmation of appointment of three Executive Directors of the Board
of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).
According to the President, the request for confirmation was in
accordance with the provision of Section 2(3) of the Federal Roads
Maintenance Agency (Amendment) Act 2007.
The nominees for confirmation are: Engr. Ifeanyi Christian Kammelu
(Executive Director – South East); Muhammad Gambo Bizi (Executive
Director – North East) and Prof. Abubakar Ismail (Executive Director –
North West).
