U.S. suicide rate jumps 35% in two decades
Steven Reinberg, HealthDay News
From 1999 to 2018, the U.S. suicide rate rose from 10.5 to 14 per 100,000, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Photo by clarkdonald413/Pixabay
The U.S. suicide rate has jumped 35 percent in the past two decades, health officials reported Wednesday.
From 1999 to 2018, the suicide rate rose from 10.5 to 14 per 100,000, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Researchers found the rate of suicide rose by about 1 percent a year from 1999 to 2006, then increased to 2 percent a year from 2006 through 2018.
The report also shows that men are more likely to die by suicide than women, and people in rural areas are at greater risk than their urban counterparts.
"This report shows that there continues to be differences in suicide rates by sex, age group and urban and rural location," said lead researcher Dr. Holly Hedegaard, an injury epidemiologist at CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.
RELATED Brain stimulation may treat severe depression
"Examination of suicide rates for different demographic groups can help identify those groups at higher risk," Hedegaard said. "This information can help guide prevention efforts."
While the suicide rate rose for both men and women, it soared 55 percent among females compared with a 28 percent climb among males. Still, men are nearly four times more likely to take their own lives, researchers reported. In 2018, the male suicide rate was nearly 23 per 100,000, and for females it was slightly more than 6 per 100,000.
The highest suicide rate among women was among those 45 to 64 years old. Among males, the rate was highest for those 75 and over. The lowest rate in both sexes was for kids 10 to 14.
RELATED Pets can be true lifesavers for seniors
"No one knows why suicide rates are climbing," said Jonathan Singer, president of the board of directors of the American Association of Suicidology.
Singer thinks some of these suicides are what have been called deaths of despair -- including deaths due to drug and alcohol abuse.
Many of these deaths of despair occur in rural areas where there are fewer economic opportunities, he noted.
RELATED Media reports on celebrity suicides may help spawn 'copycat' tragedies
Poverty breeds hopelessness, loneliness and depression, all emotions that increase the risk for suicide, Singer said.
The report noted some good news in the last few years of the study period. "After years of increase, the suicide rates for several demographic groups, including females aged 45 and over and males aged 45 to 64, have stabilized," Hedegaard said.
But suicide rates continued to increase for males and females aged 10 to 44, and men 65 and over, she said.
RELATED Suicidal thoughts in children more common than thought
In 2018, men and women in rural areas were more likely to die by suicide than city dwellers, the researchers found. Among males, for example, the rates ranged from 18 in cities to 31 in the most rural counties (per 100,000). For the study, CDC researchers used data from the U.S. National Vital Statistics System.
The numbers beg the question, "Why?"
There's no easy answer, said Singer, who is also an associate professor of social work at Loyola University Chicago.
"What we do know is that research on suicide is underfunded, that there are many different pathways people take to become suicidal and to make the decision to die," he said.
Singer is concerned that job losses and isolation related to current COVID-19 stay-at-home orders might result in a spike in suicides.
On the other hand, being in lockdown with family might also be protective, he said. "It's possible that some of those might actually find comfort and support while being quarantined."
Singer said it's important to recognize signs of impending suicide.
"If you see somebody whose mood has changed rapidly, and if they're usually pleasant and fairly optimistic or realistic, and suddenly they become incredibly needy and sad and hopeless, they might be on the path to take their life," he said.
If these changes last for a while and they start saying things like, "I don't think anybody would mind if I were dead," these are pretty clear warning signs, Singer said.
To get help for someone feeling this way, you can contact the Suicide Prevention Lifeline or reach out to a primary care provider or therapist, he said.
"Suicide remains a national problem and the rates are rising and we don't know why," Singer said. "There's a need for more folks to be trained in addressing suicide risk, particularly in rural areas, and a need for more research."

Joe Carrolls true intentions are revealed through a new follower, Charlie Mead (guest star TOM LIPINSKI). As Ryan learns of Joes plans, he tries to stall Emma, Jacob and Paul by taunting them in hopes of turning them against each other. Meanwhile, Emma makes a shocking decision.


My son and I started Adams Mowing in Toledo, Ohio in 1982, with a garage sale mower and a mason jar of bartending tips.
We struggled those first years. We spent entire seasons using the wrong machines, and pursuing the wrong goals. We worked hard and we earned little.
Over my twenty years in the mowing business, I worked in different ways. With big crews, with small crews, with large commerical accounts, and with small residential accounts. I learned to concentrate on efficiency first, and I increased my profits over time.
How much will you earn? I don't know. You can earn decent money starting on the first day. And by decent money, I mean in the neighborhood of $15 an hour profit. That's a reasonable expectation when you're first starting out. The question is whether, and how quickly, you can improve that.
It took me nearly a decade to learn how to earn $300 a day, by focusing on efficiency. Most people think you have to run a large crew operation to make that kind of money, or any kind of money, in the lawn business. But that's not true.
Can I guarantee you'll earn the same amount? Absolutely not. Nor can I guarantee how quickly you'll improve your profitability. But I can guarantee that if you don't find my book useful, if it doesn't help you increase your profitability, I will refund your money. NO questions asked.
This should not sound like a get-rich-quick-scheme because it is not. There is NO such thing as get-rich-quick scheme in the lawn mowing business! A lawn mowing business is hard work. It requires long days working outside in the worst heat of the summer. Then coming home late (or getting up before the sunrise) to do billing and maintenance on your machines. It means dealing with the daily hassle of customers and perhaps your crew members.
But the business has many rewards, too. It means being your own boss, and providing a worthwhile service to your customers and perhaps, if you work with a crew, providing jobs for your community.
So I cannot tell you that it will be quick or that it will be easy, but I can tell you that if you are considering starting a lawn mowing business, or have been running one for a few years and are not happy with your profits, my book will help you think through the issues.
It might take you seasons to learn and adjust your business to maximize your profits. You might experiment with different kinds of machines, different kinds of services, different kinds of crew configurations, and different types of accounts in different areas of your city.
What my book does is give you the tools to focus relentlessly on increasing efficiency. I show you how to do time studies, so you can figure out exactly which lawns and which crew configurations are most profitable for you.
My book helps you avoid costly mistakes, and especially the pitfalls that plague new mowing businesses. The nine chapters cover the basics in getting started, including tips for choosing and buying your machines, advertising (including successful ad examples), basic maintenance scheduling, and making your business legal by securing permits and insurance coverages.
I include safety tips and advice about keeping your accounting .
I cannot promise that everyone will have the same success I did. But by sharing what I've learned over twenty years in the business, my book gives you a gigantic head start. You learn how to work more efficiently and suddenly, earning serious money isn't farfetched at all.
Please email questions and comments to highefficiencylawnmowing at gmail.net or jim at promower dot net.
If you buy the book and don't agree that it will help you earn a more money -- not only now, but in the years ahead -- send it back for a full refund. If I can't help you improve the efficienty of your business, I don't want your money. That is an unconditional money-back guarantee.

Ralph Ellison's Integral Insight into Race and Culture
Greg Thomas and Jeff Salzman
February 2, 2018 1 Comment
To kick off Black History Month, Jeff connects with Greg Thomas, an integral thinker who is pioneering a new way forward in race relations in the U.S. Greg advocates transcending the postmodern emphasis on racial identity in favor or embracing what is a broader American cultural identity, of which all Americans are an inextricable part.
Cultivating an Integral American Identity
Today Jeff reflects on the conversation he and Corey had on Monday with African American scholar Greg Thomas, where they explored what a more integral approach to race relations might look like. Greg is influenced by his mentor, Albert Murray, who, writing in the 60's challenged the postmodern narrative that reduced race (and much of human relations in general) to hard constructs of victim and oppressor.
Beyond Race and Victimhood
Greg Thomas, Jeff Salzman and Corey deVos
Today we are joined by Greg Thomas, who has thought and written extensively on one of the most vexing conundrums in our culture: race relations. Greg attempts to chart a new course, one that includes the postmodern insight into oppression and its effects, but challenges its fixation on racial and victim identity.

On Being Human: A Reflection
Susanne Cook-Greuter
In this deeply touching keynote address, Susanne Cook-Greuter offers a personal account on what truly matters in life, beyond one's stage of ego development.
In Over Our Heads: Development as a Lifelong Journey
Dr. Kegan talks with Ken Wilber about his landmark book In Over Our Heads, exploring the many ways our cultural lack of developmental perspectives is actively inhibiting development itself, leaving the majority of us ill-equipped to meet the demands of our 21st century lives.
Nathaniel Branden and Ken Wilber
Nathaniel Branden, Ayn Rand's former lover and the inspiration for her famous John Galt character, was at ground zero during the rise of the Objectivist movement. Listen as Nathaniel offers an intimate insider's view of the origins, major contributions, and inevitable limitations of Rand's philosophy and the intellectual movement it sparked. Masterfully hosted by Ken Wilber, this talk offers invaluable insight into Ayn Rand's legacy, the human potential movement, romantic love, self-esteem, self-transcendence, and the art of conscious living.
States, Stages, and the Three Kinds of Self
Ken Wilber discusses the three kinds of self: the False Self (the broken or illusory self image), the Actual Self (the "authentic" or healthily-integrated self at any particular stage of development), and the Real Self (the timeless Self behind and beyond all manifestation).
Telling the Story of Development
Susanne Cook-Greuter and Ken Wilber
Susanne Cook-Greuter, one of the most important developmental psychologists working today, shares her path from a working-class family in Switzerland to academic excellence and innovation at Harvard University, exploring the higher stages of consciousness available to us all. She then shares her thoughts on the current state of academia and the culture at large, and why it's so important to encourage flourishing at every stage of development alongside the invitation to keep growing.
Introduction to Ego Development
Susanne Cook-Greuter is an internationally recognized researcher in mature ego development and self-actualization. You may have noticed her name alongside Robert Kegan's, Clare Graves', and Jane Loevinger's in Ken's book, Integral Spirituality. Her sentence completion tests are sophisticated enough to tease out the subtle differences between Teal, Turquoise, Indigo, and Violet altitudes of development.
The Evolving Self
Dr. Robert Kegan, the author of The Evolving Self and In Over Our Heads, explores the vital role of interior development in creating a more inclusive and integrated world, as well as the importance of the appropriate use of discriminating awareness.

From warmongering rats to grotesque monsters, here's what's coming to Love, Death & Robots season 3.

Love, Death & Robots season 3 trailer shows a Scottish farmer facing off against highly evolved rodents
Love, Death + Robots season 3 episodes are out May 20 on Netflix
Three Robots: Exit Strategies is the first sequel episode in the series
Love, Death + Robots season 3 will feature nine episodes in total
Love, Death & Robots season 3 trailer has been released, with just 10 days to go for the arrival of the latest season in the Emmy award-winning animated Netflix series. You will get access to nine short films on Love, Death & Robots season 3, with stories ranging from a ship's crew facing an attack from a massive crustacean to evolved warmongering rats doing battle with a Scottish farmer, according to Netflix. Meanwhile, Love, Death & Robots executive producer David Fincher is set to direct an episode this season — marking his animated directorial debut.
In the official trailer for Love, Death & Robots season 3, Netflix also reveals the titles of all nine upcoming episodes — "Three Robots: Exit Strategies", "Bad Travelling", "The Very Pulse of The Machine", "Night of the Mini Dead", "Kill Team Kill", "Swarm", "Mason's Rats", "In Vaulted Halls Entombed", and "Jibaro". The trailer shows a wide variety of stories, including an evolved army of mice, a colourful space adventure, and the return of the three popular robots (or droll droids) from the first season.
The first episode revealed in the Love, Death & Robots season 3 trailer is titled "Bad Traveling", and is directed by David Fincher, who has been one of the producers on the show since the first season. The episode follows the story of a sailing vessel and its crew who are attacked by a massive crustacean. The second episode is called "The Very Pulse of the Machine", about an astronaut exploring the moon who drags her co-pilot's body while getting to safety, while appearing to experience the effects of a hallucinogenic drug.
"In Vaulted Halls Entombed" is the next episode revealed in the Love, Death & Robots season 3 trailer, showing a squad of Special Forces soldiers being overwhelmed by an unknown enemy. In "Jibaro", a siren adorned with layers of jewellery is shown emerging from a lake or pond and screaming at a group of warriors who then turn on each other. Meanwhile, the episode titled "Swarm" shows two people exploring a "perfect organic system" that could "bring order to the chaos of human expansion".
The Love, Death & Robots season 3 trailer goes on to reveal the next episode — "Mason's Rats", where a Scottish farmer faces off against evolved rats who have mobilised an army against him after invading his property. Finally, the Love, Death & Robots season 3 trailer reveals the first sequel in the series, "Three Robots: Exit Strategies". This episode brings back the popular droll droids from the first season in 2019, as they study a post-apocalyptic world where the humans are all dead. "They were mean to robots... and then robots killed them," K-VRC says with a laugh, at the end of the Love, Death & Robots season 3 trailer.

© 2017 The Authors. Journal of the International AIDS Society published by John Wiley & sons Ltd on behalf of the International AIDS Society. Introduction: The concept of "therapeutic citizenship" has drawn attention to ways in which public testimony, the "story-telling in the public sphere" undertaken by people living with HIV (PLHIV), has shaped the global response to the epidemic. This paper presents qualitative findings from two large studies in eastern Africa that reveal how the advent of population-based HIV testing campaigns and efforts to accelerate antiretroviral "treatment for all" has precipitated a rapidly expanding therapeutic citizenship "project," or social movement. The title of this paper refers to Goffman's original conceptualization of stigma as a social process through which a person's identity is rendered "spoiled." Methods: Data were derived from qualitative studies embedded within two clinical trials, Sustainable East African Research in Community Health (SEARCH) (NCT# 01864603) in Kenya and Uganda, and START-ART (NCT# 01810289) in Uganda, which aimed to offer insights into the pathways through which outcomes across the HIV care continuum can be achieved by interventions deployed in the studies, any unanticipated consequences, and factors that influenced implementation. Qualitative in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted among cohorts of adults in 2014 through 2015; across both studies and time periods, 217 interviews were conducted with 166 individuals. Theoretically informed, team-based analytic approaches were used for the analyses. Results: Narratives from PLHIV, who have not always been conceptualized as actors but rather usually as targets of HIV interventions, revealed strongly emergent themes related to these individuals' use of HIV biomedical resources and discourses to fashion a new, empowered subjecthood. Experiencing the benefits of antiretroviral therapy (ART) emboldens many individuals to transform their "spoiled" identities to attain new, valorized identities as "advocates for ART" in their communities. We propose that the personal revelation of what some refer to as the "gospel of ARVs," the telling of personal stories about HIV in the public sphere and actions to accompany other PLHIV on their journey into care, is driven by its power to redeem the "spoiled identity:" it permits PLHIV to overcome self-stigma and regain full personhood within their communities. Conclusions: PLHIV are playing an unanticipated but vital role in the successful implementation of HIV care cascade interventions.

Background Despite substantial progress, gaps in the HIV care cascade remain large: globally, while about 36.7 million people were living with HIV in 2015, 11.9 million of these individuals did not know their HIV status, 12.7 million were in need of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and 13.0 million were not virally suppressed. We sought to deepen understanding of the barriers to care engagement at three critical steps of the care cascade proposed to make greatest impact for attaining the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets aimed at shutting down the HIV epidemic. Methods Analyses were conducted among HIV-infected adults in rural East Africa. Qualitative data were collected using in-depth interviews among 63 individuals participating in an ongoing test-and treat trial (NCT01864683) in its baseline year (July 2013-June 2014). Audio recordings were transcribed, translated into English, and coded using Atlas.ti software. Data were analyzed using a thematic framework for explaining barriers to care engagement that drew upon both theory and prior empirical research in similar settings. Results Multiple barriers to engagement in care were observed. HIV-related stigma across dimensions of anticipated, internalized and enacted stigma manifested in denial and fears of disclosure, and influenced lapses in care engagement across multiple steps in the cascade. Poverty (lack of food and transport), lack of social support, work interference, prior negative experiences with health services, drug side effects, and treatment fatigue also negatively affected ART adherence and viral suppression. Gender differences were observed, with work interference and denial disproportionately affecting men compared to women. Conclusion Multiple barriers to HIV care engagement still pervade rural sub-Saharan settings threatening the realization of the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. To control the epidemic, efforts need to be accelerated to combat stigma. Patient economic empowerment, innovative drug formulations, as well as more patient-responsive health systems, may help overcome barriers to engagement in care.

© 2016 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. ABSTRACT: People living with HIV/AIDS anticipate HIV-related stigma and fear disclosure to intimate partners. Yet, disclosure is critical to reducing HIV transmission and improving care engagement. This qualitative study characterized HIV disclosure experiences and normative beliefs among couples in communities participating in an HIV test-and-treat trial in Kenya and Uganda (Sustainable East Africa Research in Community Health, NCT#01864603). In-depth interviews were conducted with care providers (n = 50), leaders (n = 32) and members (n = 112) of eight communities. Data were analyzed using grounded theoretical approaches and Atlas.ti software. Findings confirmed gender differences in barriers to disclosure: while both men and women feared blame and accusation, women also feared violence and abandonment ("I did not tell my husband because [what if] I tell him and he abandons me at the last moment when I am in labor?"). Positive consequences included partner support for increased care-seeking and adherence ("My husband keeps on reminding me 'have you taken those drugs?'") Yet negative consequences included partnership dissolution, blame, and reports of violence ("some men beat their wives just because of that [bringing HIV medications home]"). Among HIV-infected individuals in discordant relationships, men more often reported supportive spouses ("we normally share [HIV-risk-reduction strategies] since I have been infected and she is HIV negative"), than did women ("my husband refused to use condoms and even threatened to marry another wife"). Care providers lent support for HIV-positive women who wanted to engage partners in testing but feared negative consequences: "They engaged the two of us in a session and asked him if we could all test." Findings demonstrate differing experiences and support needs of women and men living with HIV in eastern Africa, with HIV-positive women in discordant couples particularly vulnerable to negative consequences of disclosure. Efforts to strengthen capacity in health systems for gender-sensitive clinician- or counselor-assisted disclosure should be accelerated within test-and-treat efforts.


Unless you've been living in a cave for the past few years, you will be familiar with the term 'intermittent fasting'. The term is pretty self-explanatory but it is also slightly terrifying! Who wants to starve?! It is kind of intense but, it really isn't that crazy and, here's the thing - If done right, it can really work!
So,'does it work?' and 'is intermittent fasting right for me?' we hear you cry! Well, sit back, relax and let the experts here at PROMiXX give you the lowdown with our 7 Benefits to Intermittent Fasting and, along the way, we'll introduce you to some of the world's best and biggest advocates.
Intermittent fasting is the term given to weight loss diets that encourage periods of fasting and non-fasting. Although intermittent fasting has become something of a health and fitness trend, it isn't a fad and there are several studies that suggest it can result in weight loss.
The way this fast works is to fast for 16 out of every 24 hours. This is best done overnight so the great thing about this is that you will be sleeping for a large part of your fast period. You will have an 8 hour window everyday when you can eat.
This method involves spending two days of the week fasting. During those two days, you should consume no more than 500/600 calories. The other days, you can eat as much as you like, but of course, within reason and still making the healthier choices.
The idea with the 'Eat-Stop-Eat fasting Diet is to go once or twice a week without eating anything from dinner on one day to dinner the nest day - So, a 24 hour fast once or twice weekly.
It's understandable that many are instantly put off by these diets - The word 'fast' is not appealing and it really sounds as though you will be left ravenously hungry but, although there is the initial adjustment, these diets are generally considered 'doable' even for the most stubborn of food lovers.
Due to Intermittent Fasting being so intimidating on the surface, numerous myths have been born from it.
'You have to eat every 3 hours to maximise/maintain a high metabolic rate'.
Nonsense! Several studies have shown that there is no discernable difference between eating 7 meals a day or 2 meals a day when it comes to increasing metabolic rates.
Nonsense! Interesting fact - The body can go without food for 3 weeks and in some cases up to 40 days, though, of course, we DO NOT recommend that.
Intermittent fasting is only suitable for men!
As if! This is not true… there is, however, some facts behind this and it's important to note that the same rules do not apply to both sexes.
For a detailed explanation on this, check out this video by Thomas Delauer as he explains the impact intermittent fasting has on both men and women.
It really is a case of women needing to listen to their bodies. This is naturally true for everyone though.
For many advocates of intermittent fasting, this is the one that seals the deal.
Think about it… No meal prepping, no real diet planning and, depending on which diet you are doing, no need to rush around at breakfast times, making it particularly easy and convenient for those with children. You don't have to worry about your own breakfast, just deal with the kiddos. No more rushing around with a bacon roll hanging out of your mouth whilst dressing the 4-year-old, pouring milk into their cereal, and doing the last minute spelling test! Intermittent fasting frees up your day!
Yes Human Growth Hormone (HGH).
Intermittent fasting can increase HGH by as much as 2000%. That's a whopping increase!
HGH is a 'growth stimulating' hormone responsible for cell reproduction, and cell regeneration.
Better mood and cognitive function.
As well as the fat-burning side effects that come with increased levels of HGH and Testosterone at its core, fasting uses the bodies own stores of fat for energy. Ultimately this is achieved by lowering the body's insulin levels thus switching from a fat storing mode into a fat depleting one.
Who wants to live forever?! Okay, so maybe not forever, but fasting has been shown to enhance the body's resistance to oxidative stress and reduce inflammation, a contributor to many other illnesses that impact the ageing process.
Studies have shown that 'prolonged' fasting has some AMAZING effects on the body's cells. You might not quite be renewing your cells like Wolverine but, it's pretty awesome what your body can do.
New podcast! Dr. Valter Longo talks fasting and a fasting mimicking diet for longevity, cancer, and autoimmunity.
Do you find it hard to concentrate? Wish you could zone in on a task. Benefit number 7 is how fasting bolsters brain power. It would seem that one of bodies response to lack of food is an increase in brain function, a seemingly natural response to,'Where am I going to get my next meal from?'.
So, now you know the myths, and we've given you 7 reasons to consider intermittent fasting, what's next?

Have you tried intermittent fasting? We would love to hear from you.

False Anti-Corruption Supporters In Government Frustrating US, Says EFCC
Ibrahim Magu
Eniola Akinkuotu and Chukwudi Akasike
The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Ibrahim Magu, says there are many people in authority claiming to be supporting the war against corruption but are doing the opposite.
He also slammed those calling on the EFCC not to put too much focus on punishment of politically-exposed persons.
Incidentally, Senate President Bukola Saraki had at the public presentation of Senator Dino Melaye's book titled, 'Antidotes to Corruption,' asked anti-corruption agencies to concentrate on prevention of corruption rather than punishment of corrupt persons.
Magu, while addressing a crowd during the EFCC stakeholders' walk against corruption in Abuja on Tuesday, said the anti-corruption war was being frustrated by those who should ordinarily protect the poor masses.
He said, "It is time to weep for those who believe they can perpetually hold down Nigeria as a cow and milk her to death. It is time to weep for supposed men and women of honour who pose as corruption fighters but when they think we are not looking, they plot and fund the collapse of the anti-corruption war."
Magu added, "While most of us who feel the pains of corruption are asking for more vigour in the fight, the cabal profiting from corruption would want the campaign watered down. While many Nigerians are calling for stiffer punishment for the corrupt, the patrons of corruption now tell us that it does not pay to punish the corrupt."
The EFCC boss urged Nigerians to join the corruption war by embracing the whistle-blower policy of the Federal Government.
The walk, which lasted three hours, started from the EFCC head office in Wuse 2 through the Unity Fountain, Maitama and the Federal Secretariat.
The walk also took place in all the EFCC zonal offices located across the six geo-political zones.
In Lagos, the President of Women Arise for Change Initiative, Joe Okei-Odumakin, called on Nigerians to continue to expose corruption, saying it is necessary to preserve the future of the country.
Okei-Odumakin, a leading female rights activist, also described corruption as "cancerous.''
In his address, the Chairman of Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, Mr Debo Adeniran, said the walk was an expression of sheer determination to wipe out corruption from Nigeria.
Adeniran, who said Nigeria stood a chance of reclaiming her lost image through the current anti-graft crusade, further urged Nigerians to support the efforts of Magu to rid Nigeria of corruption.
Also, the Leader of Coalition of Human Rights Defenders, Inibehe Effiong, said the current decadence in Nigeria could only be eradicated through a sustained war against corruption.
In a similar event in Rivers State, Magu said he was not afraid of anybody in the ongoing fight against corruption.
Magu, who declared that he had no fear in his DNA, said he would not succumb to pressure no matter how highly placed those involved in corrupt practices might be.
The acting EFCC chairman, who spoke through the Zonal Head of the commission, South-South, Mr Ishaq Salihu, during a walk against corruption in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, maintained that everybody was equal before the law. (Punchng.com)

China defends its company building dam in PoK
By | Updated: 15th May 2020 4:00 pm IST
Beijing: China on Friday defended its state-run company taking up the contract to build the Diamer-Bhasha dam in Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) despite objection from India, saying that it is part of a "win-win" bilateral cooperation to promote the wellbeing of the local population.
On Wednesday, Pakistan government signed a whopping Rs 442 billion (USD 5.8 billion) contract for a joint venture between Chinese state-run firm China Power and Frontier Works Organisation (FWO), a commercial arm of Pakistan's powerful military for the construction of the dam.
India on Thursday took strong note of Pakistan awarding the mega-contract to build the dam in Gilgit-Baltistan, saying carrying out of such projects in territories under Pakistan's illegal occupation was not proper.

China's position on the issue of Kashmir is consistent. China and Pakistan conduct economic cooperation to promote economic development and improve the wellbeing of the local people," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a media briefing here.
This is mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation, he said.
The two countries are also building the USD 60 billion China- Pakistan Economic Corridor through PoK which connects both the countries. India has also objected to China over the CPEC as it traverses through PoK.
The Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi on Thursday said, "Our position is consistent and clear that entire territory of the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh have been, are and will continue to be integral and inalienable part of India."

Washington drivers could face new distracted driving penalties
Thursday, April 20, 2017 2:13pm
Local NewsNorthwest
By CHRIS GRYGIEL / Associated Press
OLYMPIA — Holding a phone while driving in Washington state becomes illegal in 2019 when Gov. Jay Inslee signs a distracted driving measure passed by the Legislature.
"I am just thrilled that we have been able to forge a step forward on distracted driving," Inslee said. "Pain and suffering and tragedy caused by this inattentiveness is very hard to bear."
Both chambers approved the measure Wednesday. It would prohibit holding an electronic device — including phones, tablets and other electronic devices — while driving, including while in traffic or waiting for a traffic light to change. However, the measure would allow "the minimal use of a finger" to activate, deactivate, or initiate a function of a personal electronic device while driving.
For months, lawmakers have discussed ways to get people to put down their phones while they're behind the wheel.
Democratic Rep. Jessyn Farrell of Seattle, sponsor of the House bill, told the Associated Press they needed to come up with stronger penalties to enforce the law — which would replace the current texting or holding a phone to the ear while driving statute.
Farrell said the measure applies to drivers' of all ages.
"This is the same for everyone, the idea is that we are all so into our phones that we need an equal application of the law," she said.
Under the measure, the standard traffic fine of $136 would apply to a first offense but would increase to about $235 for a second offense. The first distracted driving offense would also be reportable to insurance companies, which could raise rates like any other moving violation.
Some lawmakers disputed the penalty, suggesting it should only apply to second offenses.
"I don't think our people should be penalized with a first offense," said Republican Rep. Ed Orcutt of Kalama. He opposed the bill during the House floor debate by saying some people do not drive dangerously while holding their cellphone.
"Somebody who is merely holding a cellphone in their hand is not necessarily distracted," Orcutt said.
Republican Sen. Ann Rivers of Auburn, who is the prime sponsor of the measure, said insurance companies are beginning to recognize distracted driving as the "crisis that it is" — the same way they encourage seat-belt use and are against driving while intoxicated.
"What we have found is dollars drive behavior," Rivers said. "If people know they are going to have to pay more overtime for their insurance because they made a bad decision, perhaps it will help them to reevaluate their behavior to not drive under the influence of electronics and to remain focused on the road."
Farrell said the measure would go into effect in January 2019 to give the public and the state patrol some time to adjust and prepare for the change.
Another section of the bill also says a person who engages in "any activity not related to the actual operation of a motor vehicle" is subject to pay an additional fine of $100. It only applies, if an officer catches a driver being distracted while committing a standard traffic offense, such as running a stop sign because their coffee spilled or a pet jumped in their lap.
Farrell said the bill doesn't prohibit drivers from doing other things like eating, putting on makeup or having a pet in the car while driving — But it would create an extra fine if the distraction causes the driver to drive dangerously.
Over a six-year period, the Washington Traffic Safety Commission reported 1,336 people died in motor vehicle crashes in Washington State. Of those, nearly 30 percent involved distraction.
"Accidents can happen in a blink of an eye," Rivers said. "If you're looking at your phone and not the road then you're making a choice to participate in a very risky behavior that impacts not only your life but the lives of every other car around you."
Exceptions to the bill would include using an electronic device to contact emergency services, to operate an emergency vehicle, to allow transit system dispatch services to communicate time-sensitive messages and to allow any activities that are federally authorized for commercial motor vehicle drivers. Operating an amateur radio station and two-way or citizens band radio services are also exceptions in the proposal.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 14 states currently ban any hand-held cellphone use while driving a car and 46 states ban texting while driving. However, 37 states along with the District of Columbia ban all cell phone use by beginner or teen drivers, including Washington.

Camera IconSister Patricia Fox (R) has been given a temporary reprieve from deportation from Philippines.
Aust nun relieved at temporary reprieve
Craig SkehanAAP
Australian missionary nun Sister Patricia Fox feels relieved at being granted a temporary reprieve on deportation from the Philippines, where she has spent 28 years helping the poor.
She has expressed gratitude for the widespread support in the Philippines and Australia, where an ecumenical service is planned for June 2 in recognition of her ordeal.
"Now I am hopeful, but we will have to wait for a review of my case by the Secretary of the Department of Justice," she told AAP.
"This is a first step, but there is still a long way to go."
Her comments follow a decision by the overwhelmingly Catholic's nation's Secretary for Justice, Menardo Guevarra, to extend a May 25 deadline for her deportation until June 18.
The decision requires that the country's Bureau of Immigration comment within 10 days on the latest in a series of appeals by Sister Fox claiming she had not been afforded due process.
She would have a further five days to reply and after that Guevarra could require a series of what he referred to as "clarificatory hearings" to achieve a "just resolution of this appeal".
Asked whether the nation's President Rodrigo Duterte could still intervene to have her forcibly removed for involvement in human rights' protests, she replied; "Well, I think he is still unhappy with me."
Sister Fox had last month been part of an international group that investigated recent extra-judicial killings in the southern Philippines, where Duterte was previously a long-serving mayor.
The 71-year-old had her missionary visa downgraded to a visitor's visa and was subsequently given 30 days to leave the country.
She admitted Friday's deadline for her to leave the country "was a bit stressful."
"But I have had so many messages of support from people in Australia - it has been really good," she said.
The Catholic Church in a statement said while there had been a temporary victory, Sister Fox and her lawyers would not be complacent as it seemed that "no less than the most powerful man in the country, the President, who wants her out of the country."
If the Bureau of Immigration's order were to be upheld, the case would set a "dangerous precedent" for all foreigners engaged in missionary work in the Philippines to help the poor, oppressed and the marginalised, the statement said.
"This is a serious threat and blatant attack on universally-recognised rights to freedom of expression and peaceable assembly," the Church said.
"We all represent Sister Fox in this grim situation of human rights in the Philippines."

If You're A Gemini, These Are Likely Your Favorite Foods
By Maria Scinto/Aug. 7, 2021 5:00 pm EST
Anyone born under the sign of Gemini tends to be quite the busy little bee. Geminis are interested in just about everything, and they're constantly flitting from here to there since they want to experience all that life has to offer. In fact, it's quite likely that FOMO is a Gemini's biggest fear.
Just how do mealtimes fit into a Gemini's often-hectic schedule? Geminis are as fond of food as any other sign, although their tastes range far and wide. They are also partial to foods that can be eaten on the go, or at least off a paper plate that they're balancing in one hand while they hold a drink in the other and carry on conversations with as many party-goers as is humanly possible.
In fact, if we had to characterize the sign of Gemini with one signature meal, we'd definitely go with the cocktail party buffet. Still, life can't be all cocktails and canapes now, can it? Even a Gemini has to sit down at the table sometime. If you're a Gemini, these foods might be among your favorites.
Geminis enjoy a wide variety of foods
Geminis may not all be world travelers — while Sagittarians tend to be the natural-born roamers of the zodiac, Geminis tend to be more interested in cultivating a wide circle of friends and acquaintances closer to home. Nevertheless, Geminis are interested in experiencing all the world has to offer, and this applies to food as well. If you're in the habit of going out to eat with a Gemini companion, you'll notice that they seldom like to hit up the same place twice in a row, nor will they order the same thing off the menu every time.
If you are a Gemini, it's likely your favorite food is "a little bit of this, a little bit of that." Combo plates, yes please! Surf and turf, of course! Anything that's two (or more) meals in one is sure to please a Twin. While Geminis don't necessarily have the biggest of appetites, they still tend to order enough food to share with everyone else at the table since that's just how this gregarious sign likes to roll.
Geminis enjoy unusual flavors
Geminis aren't a traditional meat and potatoes kind of sign (that's more up Taurus' alley), and they aren't necessarily set on having the traditional meat and two sides at each meal. They may well choose to make a meal off appetizers — and of course, tapas, mezze, antipasti, and other such small plates are a Gemini's dream. Geminis could easily decide to order off the side dish menu, or lunch off soup, salad, and a sandwich to cover all the bases.
There's one thing that most Geminis crave, however, and that is new and different flavor sensations. A Gemini was probably the first one of your friends to try floral flavors like lavender and hibiscus, and Geminis embrace lesser-known types of ethnic food such as Laotian or Portuguese rather than sticking with something more mainstream like Thai or Italian.
And yes, it probably was somebody's grandma that launched those bizarro aspic molds and Jell-O salads back in the day, as well as a Gemini that came up with the whole unicorn food thing.
This air sign likes its desserts on the lighter side
While some signs (Taurus comes to mind immediately) enjoy winding up a leisurely meal by lingering over an indulgent dessert, Geminis prefer their meal endings be short and not-too-sweet as they've likely already got one foot out the door so they can be off to their next activity.
Among the "barely there" desserts likely to appeal to a Gemini are meringue-based ones like the pavlova or the Schaum Torte, the latter of which is basically what you'd get if you replaced the biscuits in strawberry shortcake with meringues (via The Café Sucre Farine). Geminis also enjoy angel food cake, particularly when it's paired with fresh fruits and a dollop of fluffy whipped cream.
Geminis of all ages also tend to have a sneaking fondness for cotton candy, and Geminis over 21 are sure to get a kick out of dessert drinks like these cotton candy martinis from the Tipsy Bartender made with cranberry juice, raspberry vodka, and a puff of cotton candy. You could even make these martinis alcohol-free by using raspberry seltzer for a light, fizzy, fun drink that non-drinking Geminis can enjoy as well.
Geminis don't have just one go-to drink
Geminis aren't really such big boozers. In fact, Thrillist categorizes Gemini as being the zodiac sign who is most likely to leave a drink unfinished due to the fact that they may get bored or distracted halfway through and are likely to move on to a new drink instead. Either that, or they just get too caught up in conversation to remember to take a sip now and then. Geminis usually enjoy soda or seltzer-based drinks since these are light and fizzy, but they will also be the first to try all the latest fun summer cocktails and other trendy new drinks, particularly of the fresh and fruity kind.
Geminis also enjoy a number of non-alcoholic beverages as well. We secretly suspect it may have been a Gemini who came up with the Arnold Palmer, the drink that marries iced tea with lemonade to make something that's far greater than the sum of its two parts. Geminis were also quite likely to have been early adopters of nitro coffee, particularly since they do like their coffee drinks! While caffeine may help Gemini power through their often-hectic days, they should take care not to overdo this stimulant since even Geminis need their sleep.
If you're a Gemini, these foods will help you stay in shape
If Geminis have one flaw in regard to their eating habits, it would be a penchant for fast food, not out of fondness for it but because it's something they can easily grab and go. Geminis, however, do have a few other health factors that they should bear in mind. (Disclaimer: while we're not qualified to offer medical advice and there's no hard evidence linking your sun sign to any particular medical malady, it never hurts to pay attention to any aspect of your health as long as you don't neglect the rest of your body.)
As Astrology.Care tells us, Gemini, an air sign, has long been associated with the lungs, and as a result may be prone to respiratory issues. Gemini's ruling planet, Mercury, is also said to rule the nervous system. The cell salt associated with Gemini is potassium chloride, and Astrology.Care advises eating a diet high in this mineral, including bananas, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cukes, peaches, plums, tomatoes, quinoa, and basmati rice.
The astrology guide also suggests certain foods to help the nervous system function as it should, such as citrus fruit, grapes, pears, walnuts, and seafood. Zodiac Fresh, meanwhile, offers one additional piece of advice that shouldn't be too hard for most Geminis to follow: They say this sign is best served by eating several smaller meals over the course of a day rather than trying to eat too much food at once.


im 36 weeks now and i am on the emergency list to have a root canal done.
No dentist will touch me while im pregnant. I had no idea once you reach a certain stage they will not do any procedure. I cant take it anymore the pain is killing me. Iv stopped eating all normal foods and have taken on a somewhat infant diet because of it. I am tired, dizzy and have no energy but the end of the day after running after my toddler im exhusted. I know after having the baby im still going to be tired but am i so totally out of my depth asking to be induced at 38 weeks so i can have my dental work done? does it seem selfish of me? I feel like i have to wait till the baby is good and ready but i cant keep going like this im in so much pain.

Jewish studies celebrates 40 years at Emory
By April Hunt | Emory Report | Nov. 28, 2016
Established in 1976, Emory's Jewish studies program is a model for interdisciplinary scholarship. Known as the Tam Institute for Jewish Studies since 1999, the program marks its 40th anniversary with a series of events Dec. 4.

In 1976, Emory established a Jewish studies program at what was then a regional, and very Methodist, university. In the four decades since, the program has helped provide the groundwork for the interdisciplinary focus that is now a hallmark of Emory College as an exceptional institution for liberal arts education within a nationally ranked research university.
Known as the Tam Institute for Jewish Studies (TIJS) since 1999, the program will celebrate its successes and 40th anniversary with a Community of Scholars Showcase featuring a series of events on Dec. 4 in the Cox Hall Ballroom.
"Jewish studies was never meant to be studied in a vacuum, and from the beginning the program at Emory was developed to resonate with those interested in all aspects of the humanities and social sciences," says Eric Goldstein, Judith London Evans Director of TIJS and an associate professor of history. "We can relish that legacy of scholarly engagement when we see what we've grown into."
Key hires set the course for interdisciplinary growth
The effort began in 1976, when the university questioned why its religion department taught only Christianity.
A national search led to the hiring of religion professor David R. Blumenthal, a trained rabbi and renowned scholar who has held the Jay and Leslie Cohen Chair in Judaic Studies since it was established 40 years ago.
Shortly after Blumenthal arrived, Emory also hired professors Kenneth W. Stein, an expert on the history of Israel and the Middle East, and Oded Borowski, a Biblical archaeologist who helped lay the foundation for Emory's Hebrew language program.
Emory also went on to hire Deborah E. Lipstadt as the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies, before her battle with a Holocaust denier in a British court made her internationally known as a defender of history.
"We took broadening our intellectual growth seriously at a time of a general shift in the university as a whole," Blumenthal says.
Anniversary celebrates campus, community connections
The 40th anniversary festivities will celebrate the Institute for Jewish Studies' deep connections on campus and in the community.
After all, the Jewish studies program started with seed money from the Cohen family and the Atlanta Jewish Welfare Federation, as well as the Methodist Church. The Arthur M. Blank Foundation later donated funding for the institute, naming it in honor of Atlanta Rabbi Donald A. Tam.
Goldstein has been part of the Emory community since earning his bachelor's degree in Jewish studies from Emory in 1992 — when some of his now-colleagues were his professors.
"I remember being in high school looking at one of those big books that profile colleges and universities. The entry for Emory said that the most popular course on campus was 'The History of Israel' with Ken Stein," Goldstein says. "It sounded like my kind of place."
By emerging as an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary program, the institute has grown to 19 core faculty members who specialize not only in religion but also view Jewish civilization from the perspectives of history, literature, anthropology and politics, among other fields of study.
The program's breadth allows it not only to support an undergraduate major and minor, but also the training of doctoral students in many disciplines related to Jewish studies.
Emory offers one of the nation's leading institutes in Jewish studies, with hundreds of students regularly enrolling in its courses in addition to those who choose to specialize in the field, Goldstein says.
"Because Jews have lived all over the world, and their history spans so many time periods, the study of Jewish life is a window to so much of world civilization," he says.
The institute also has sponsored an increasing number of academic programs and community events, such as the upcoming showcase.
For instance, last spring it held a forum examining Jewish-Muslim relations following the Paris terrorist attacks. During the presidential campaign this fall, it drew a large crowd to a session entitled "Closing the Gates, Building a Wall," which applied the history of immigration restriction against Jews to current nativism issues.
"Jews are a group that can be studied religiously, culturally, ethnically, sociologically, so as Jewish studies scholars we have had a head start in knowing different ways to address a question," Blumenthal says. "Our world is multicultural now and our contribution is the ability to know that way of looking at the world."
