Ketamine infusions may reduce the severity of PTSD symptoms
By James Kingsland on January 10, 2021 — Fact checked by Harriet Pike, Ph.D.
A clinical trial found that six intravenous doses of ketamine spread over 2 weeks significantly reduced the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The effect lasted for about 4 weeks after the final dose.

Some people who have gone through a shocking, frightening, or dangerous experience develop the chronic and distressing symptoms of PTSD.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, the symptoms of PTSD can include flashbacks, bad dreams, and frightening thoughts.
Individuals with the disorder often avoid places, objects, or events that remind them of their traumatic experience. They may be easily startled or liable to angry outbursts and have trouble sleeping.
The Department of Veterans Affairs report that about 8 million adults in the United States experience PTSD in any given year. They also estimate that approximately 10% of females and 4% of males will develop PTSD at some point during their lifetime.
Treatment for PTSD may involve selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. However, these established treatments can take several weeks to start reducing symptoms, and they may not work for everyone.
In a 2014 clinical trial, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York found that a single injection of ketamine led to significant and rapid improvements in PTSD symptoms.
The same team now reports that a series of six intravenous infusions of ketamine in the space of 2 weeks may significantly improve symptoms for about 4 weeks after the final dose.
"PTSD is an extremely debilitating condition, and we are pleased that our discovery may lead to a treatment option for so many who are in need of relief from their suffering," says Dr. Dennis S. Charney, senior author of the new paper.
The team's findings appear in The American Journal of Psychiatry.
An anesthetic and antidepressant
Ketamine prevents a signaling molecule called glutamate, which stimulates nerves, from binding to a particular receptor in the brain. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) originally approved the drug for use as an anesthetic in 1970.
Since then, however, researchers have discovered that subanesthetic doses of the drug can rapidly relieve treatment-resistant depression. In 2019, the FDA approved esketamine — a form of ketamine — for treating this type of depression.
In the new study, the researchers randomly assigned 41 people with severe, chronic PTSD (of whom, 35 completed the study) to receive intravenous infusions of either ketamine or a sedative drug called midazolam. The team chose midazolam because it has similar behavioral effects to ketamine and so could act as a control.
The participants had developed PTSD after exposure to various traumatic events, including sexual assault or molestation, physical assault or abuse, witnessing a violent assault or death, surviving or responding to the 9/11 attacks, and military combat.
Overall, they had been experiencing the symptoms of PTSD for a median of 15 years.
The participants self-rated their depression and PTSD symptoms 24 hours after the first infusion and then at weekly intervals. They also underwent assessment by doctors at these stages.
At 2 weeks after the final infusion, those who received ketamine showed significantly greater improvements in the severity of depression and PTSD symptoms compared with those who received midazolam.
In the ketamine group, 67% of the participants responded to treatment (defined as a 30% reduction in PTSD symptoms) compared with 20% of those in the control group.
Among those who responded to ketamine, improvements occurred 24 hours after the first infusion. The median time before the effects wore off was 27.5 days after the final infusion.
Importantly, the authors report that ketamine was well-tolerated overall without any serious adverse events.
Extending the treatment response
Future studies may investigate whether giving additional doses of ketamine or combining repeated infusions with psychotherapy might prolong the benefits further.
Dr. Adriana Feder, associate professor of psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine and the lead author of the study, concluded:
"We want people suffering with PTSD to know that hope is on the horizon, and we are working diligently to collect the information that will help bring them the relief they so desperately need."
The Icahn School of Medicine have filed several patents in the U.S. and around the world that cover the use of ketamine as a treatment for PTSD. The patents name Dr. Charney and Dr. Feder as co-inventors.

Ebola outbreak: Virus mutating, scientists warn
29th January, 2015 :Â
Scientists tracking the Ebola outbreak in Guinea say the virus has mutated.
Researchers at the Institut Pasteur in France, which first identified the outbreak last March, are investigating whether it could have become more contagious.
More than 22,000 people have been infected with Ebola and 8,795 have died in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Scientists are starting to analyse hundreds of blood samples from Ebola patients in Guinea.
They are tracking how the virus is changing and trying to establish whether it's able to jump more easily from person to person
"We know the virus is changing quite a lot," said human geneticist Dr Anavaj Sakuntabhai.
"That's important for diagnosing (new cases) and for treatment. We need to know how the virus (is changing) to keep up with our enemy."
It's not unusual for viruses to change over a period time. Ebola is an RNA virus – like HIV and influenza – which have a high rate of mutation. That makes the virus more able to adapt and raises the potential for it to become more contagious.
"We've now seen several cases that don't have any symptoms at all, asymptomatic cases," said Anavaj Sakuntabhai.
"These people may be the people who can spread the virus better, but we still don't know that yet. A virus can change itself to less deadly, but more contagious and that's something we are afraid of."
But Professor Jonathan Ball, a virologist at the University of Nottingham, says it's still unclear whether more people are actually not showing symptoms in this outbreak compared with previous ones.
"We know asymptomatic infections occur… but whether we are seeing more of it in the current outbreak is difficult to ascertain," he said.
"It could simply be a numbers game, that the more infection there is out in the wider population, then obviously the more asymptomatic infections we are going to see."
Another common concern is that while the virus has more time and more "hosts" to develop in, Ebola could mutate and eventually become airborne.
There is no evidence to suggest that is happening, however. The virus is still only passed through direct contact with infected people's body fluids.
"At the moment, not enough has been done in terms of the evolution of the virus both geographically and in the human body, so we have to learn more. But something has shown that there are mutations," said Institut Pasteur virologist Noel Tordo.
"For the moment the way of transmission is still the same. You just have to avoid contact (with a sick person)"
"But as a scientist you can't predict it won't change. Maybe it will."
Researchers are using a method called genetic sequencing to track changes in the genetic make-up of the virus. So far they have analysed around 20 blood samples from Guinea. Another 600 samples are being sent to the labs in the coming months.
A previous similar study in Sierra Leone showed the Ebola virus mutated considerably in the first 24 days of the outbreak, according to the World Health Organization.
It said: "This certainly does raise a lot of scientific questions about transmissibility, response to vaccines and drugs, use of convalescent plasma.
"However, many gene mutations may not have any impact on how the virus responds to drugs or behaves in human populations."

Nuts are simple, come pre-packaged, and are easy to transport. If your job involves a lot of driving or moving around, bring some nuts to keep you fueled throughout the day.
You're likely to find tortilla chips and salsa or chips and guacamole at restaurants. As long as you can confirm the chips are made from corn, they make for a great appetizer and snack at the bar. Pair with your favorite gluten free alcoholic drinks.
Potato chips are also frequently gluten free and go great for barbecues, picnics, packed lunches and more.
Yogurt is the perfect breakfast option. Especially when most other alternatives are not gluten free. Sure, you can find gluten free bagels and bread at the store for toast, but it's not always an option when you're in a rush.
Yogurt, paired with some fresh fruit and gluten free granola is perfect. Add a little honey to sweeten in and you have a delicious meal or dessert.
Baby carrots, pineapple, fresh peppers, grapefruit, green beans, blueberries, broccoli, edamame, etc. The list could go on and on. Fresh fruit and vegetables are one of the healthiest fast snacks you can enjoy, and they are naturally gluten free!
Pair some fresh fruit with a nice yogurt and you have a great breakfast, which leads to our next gluten free snack . . .
Breakfast bars from popular brands like Glutino or KIND are great fast options for breakfast, or any time of the day, especially if you're traveling!
Delicious treats for that sweet tooth. Puddings, jello, and other whipped treats like cream or chocolate ganache.
These are often gluten free, just check the labels or ask at the restaurant.
Popular brands like Jello and Snack Packs are gluten free in the US.
All types of popcorn make for a great snack, whether you want a side with your lunch or a sweet treat.
Cheese, gotta love cheese! Last week I tried my hand at making a homemade bleu cheese dressing. Let's just say you'll have to wait a while for the recipe because it is far from perfect.
That aside, cheese is a great gluten free snack for busy people. You can purchase string cheese to peel and eat on the go, or you can get any type of cheese that you like.
Cheese goes great with dried fruits, nuts, and gluten free crackers if you have them around.
Rice cakes are one of my personal favorite snacks because they are so simple. You can have a sweet or a salty flavor, and they are great for lunches, afternoon snacks, and even dessert.
Quaker is one of my favorite brands and you can find their gluten free rice cakes here, but many other brands also produce these products all across the world.
Side dips like hummus, guacamole, and tzatziki make for amazing appetizers and snacks. They often come pre-made now at the store too!
Get your favorite gluten free pita bread, gluten free crackers, and chips to go with your favorite side dip. You can even have fondue cheese with gluten free bread! The possibilities are endless, though this might be a more time consuming snack to make.

Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council (QCC) – Central Testing Lab affiliated to ADQCC purchased a mobile testing lab which targets bolstering the material testing capabilities and support the construction and infrastructure sectors in Abu Dhabi. The mobile testing lab is considered the first of its kind in UAE.
The lab is equipped with extraordinary equipment compatible with all safety measures. The facility insured the materials durability and endurance during performing under pressure, humidity and extreme temperature. The lab uses heavy truck to work in rural and off-road environments.


• Bag-in-box and bottled wines with cork stoppers are compared.
• Volatile analysis and sensory properties were determined at 3, 6 and 12 months of storage.
• The highest amounts aldehydes and ketones were observed in bag in a box wines.
• Bottled wines retained more amounts of antioxidants compounds such as SO2 than wines in BIB.
This work studied the volatile composition and sensory properties of red wines after packaging under different configurations: bag-in-box (BIB) and glass bottles sealed with natural cork stoppers. The experiments were carried out over a period of 12 months and analysis were performed at initial time (just before packaging) and after 3, 6 and 12 months of storage. Volatile compounds composition was determined by two different analytical techniques which combined headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) with gas chromatography-ion trap/mass spectrometry (GC-IT/MS). Sensory analysis and other enological parameters, such as free and total SO2 and color intensity, were also monitored. Results showed that, after one year of storage, BIB wines were characterized by higher levels of several carbonyl compounds when compared to bottled wines. Moreover, bottled wines sealed with cork stoppers retained much more free and total SO2 than wines in BIB. In addition, the premature wine development under BIB was confirmed by sensory analyses.

Anchiceratops longirostris (ungefär "nära hornansikte med utsmyckningar") var en art av dinosaurier som tillhörde släktet Anchiceratops, en chasmosaurin från yngre delen av kritperioden i det som idag är västra Nordamerika. Precis som andra ceratopsider var den en fyrbent växtätare med tre horn i ansiktet, en papegojlik näbb samt en lång krage som sköt ut från dess bakhuvud. De två hornen som den hade ovanför ögonen var längre än det tredje på nosen, liksom som hos andra chasmosauriner. Anchiceratops blev mellan 5 och 6 meter lång.

Art
Den amerikanske paleontologen Barnum Brown döpte Anchiceratops år 1914 eftersom han trodde att den var en övergångsform nära släkt med både Monoclonius och Triceratops som låg mellan de båda släktena. Namnet kommer från de grekiska orden anchi/αγχι, det vill säga 'nära', cerat/κερατ, som betyder 'horn', samt ops/ωψ, som betyder 'ansikte'. Det finns i nuläget en känd art, A. ornatus, vars namn härleder till dess utsmyckade kant av kragen. En andra art döptes till A. longirostris av Charles M. Sternberg år 1929, men denna art antas idag vara en yngre synonym till A. ornatus.

Fynd
De första resterna av Anchiceratops hittades längs med Red Deer River i den kanadensiska provinsen Alberta år 1912. Holotypen består av bakre halvan av dess kranium, vilket består av en lång krage. Dessutom hittades flera liknande fragmentariska kranier vid samma tidpunkt. Dessa förvaras nu i American Museum of Natural History i New York. Detta kompletta kranium hittades av C.M. Sternberg år 1924, vilket beskrevs som A. longirostris fem år senare. Ännu ett exemplar samlades in av Sternberg år 1925. Det saknar kraniet men är annars det mest kompletta skelett som någonsin hittats av någon ceratopsie. Det består av en komplett ryggrad till och med sista svanskotan. Sternbergs material förvaras nu i Canadian Museum of Nature i Ottawa. Annat material har hittats sedan dess, vilket består av en eller två benbäddar i Alberta, men få exemplar av Anchiceratops har beskrivits (Dodson, 1996). Totalt har sex kompletta kranier hittats, jämte det fullständigt bevarade skelettet.

De flesta Anchiceratops-fossil har hittats i Horseshoe Canyon-formationen i Alberta. Denna formation tillhör den äldre delen av maastricht-skedet under yngre krita (runt 71-65 miljoner år sedan). Fragment efter kragar som påminner om Anchiceratops har hittats i Almond-formationen tillhörande äldre maastricht i Wyoming, USA (Farke, 2004). Emellertid har delar av en krage hittats på två platser i den äldre Dinosaur Park-formationen (yngre campanian, 84-71 miljoner år sedan) med de typiska dragen av taggar ordnade i mönstren som kan ses hos kragar hos Anchiceratops. Detta kan representera en tidigare version av A. ornatus, eller till och med en andra, nära besläktad art (Langston, 1959).

Beskrivning
Anchiceratops kragar var särskiljande jämfört med andra släkten inom Chasmosaurinae. De var rektangulära till formen och kantades av stora epoccipitaler (triangulära benutskott) och har mindre fenestrae (fönsterlika öppningar) än de som kan ses hos andra chasmosauriner som Pentaceratops och Torosaurus. Andra karaktäristiska drag är paret av de bakåtpekande taggarna mitt på änden av kragen.

Paleobiologi
Anchiceratops har sällan jämförts med andra ceratopsier från samma fyndplats, och vanligen har exemplar hittats nära marina sediment i både Horseshoe Canyon- och Dinosaur Park-formationerna. Detta kan betyda att Anchiceratops levde i estuarier där andra ceratopsider inte levde. Blomväxter var vanliga och ökade i antal men var fortfarande sällsynta jämfört med barrväxter, kottepalmer och ormbunksväxter, vilka troligen utgjorde en majoritet av ceratopsiernas diet.

Könsdimorfism
C.M. Sternberg benämnde ursprungligen ett mindre kranium till den nya arten Anchiceratops longirostris på grund av dess storlek, men också dess proportionellt längre nos och mycket kortare horn som pekade framåt i stället för uppåt. Dock har moderna paleontologer funnit att storleken och formen på detta kranium faller inom ramen för variationer som kan ses hos A. ornatus, och därmed tillhör den troligen denna art.

Man har föreslagit att Anchiceratops är en könsdimorfisk art där kraniet hos A. longirostris faktiskt kommer från en hona. Andra kranier av Anchiceratops är stora och uppvisar kortare, mer robusta nosar, såväl som mycket längre horn som pekar mer vertikalt. Denna form antas representera en hanne. Könsdimorfism kan också ses hos andra släkten inom Chasmosaurinae. Dessutom kan man finna det hos vissa ceratopsier, så som Triceratops, Torosaurus och Pentaceratops, medan det är mer ovanligt hos andra, så som dess mindre släkting Chasmosaurus. Den basala ceratopsien Protoceratops uppvisar också starka könsdimorfiska drag (Lehman, 1990).

Q: Where are the predefined file templates located for Razor? I've just started playing around with JetBrains Rider IDE using one of my existing ASP.NET MVC projects. When attempting to create a new Razor View from template, I've been unable to find any templates which refer to Razor as stated here. These are all the templates I can see when adding a file template to a chosen folder.
Am I missing something like a plugin, nuget etc...? If worst comes to worst, then I don't mind creating them, it's just a slight annoyance that it clearly states they should be there.

*

*OS: Windows 10 Build 17134

*JetBrains Rider: 2018.1 Build #RD-181.4379.1191, built on April 14,
2018

Update
I've raised this with JetBrains support and so far they've advised that some predefined templates (Razor being one) are only available in subfolders of Views folder. More info can be found here. Sadly it's still not working for me but thought I'd add as it may help someone.

A: It's a bug! It's seems to be okay when creating a new solution but then at corrupts the template analytics when updating nugets and/or adding OWIN (I'm guessing the Startup.cs in the root of the project has something to do with it as well).

Update
It took nearly 5 years but they finally fixed it. I don't even use that IDE anymore lol!

Q: Python scoping in dict comprehension >>> x = 'foo'
>>> {0: locals().get('x')}
{0: 'foo'}
>>> {0: locals().get('x' + spam) for spam in ['']}
{0: None}

What is the reason for this discrepancy in behaviour?

A: Dict comprehensions and generator comprehensions create their own local scope.  List comprehensions do not in Python 2.x, but do in Python 3.  (Note that your first example is not a dict comprehension.  It's just a literal dict that happens to have an expression as the value for the key 0.)

This game will mark Caen's 2nd home game in a row and they will be looking to pick up maximum points as their last game ended in a 2-2 draw with Montpellier. The club have yet to win at home which has been a big disappointment and they only have 1 victory so far this season.
Form is poor with just 2 points won from their last 9 and they have not won since the beginning of the month. Caen come into this game in 16th place.
Amiens remains one of the most difficult teams in Ligue 1 to predict as some weeks they play like a Ligue 2 side. But in midweek they were able to beat Rennes by 2-1 which stopped a poor run of games that included defeats by Lille and Strasbourg where they conceded 6 goals in those matches.
Amiens and Caen have the same points coming into this game and away from home Amiens are yet to win a game picking up just 1 point from a possible 9.
The last time the teams played here Caen won 1-0.
In the 4 games that have recently been played at Caen, Amiens have just one win.
The last two games played at Caen have ended with under 1.5 goals.
This should be a close game where Caen have not won at home and Amiens have not won away. But our tip here will be to see the home side pick up the points.
Caen forward Yacine Bammou has only scored 2 goals so far but that is a decent return for a team who are in the bottom four teams and he always has chances. At home we think he can add to this tally at the weekend and is also worth backing.
Anytime goalscorer: Yacine Bammou (Caen) at 3.00 (2/1).

David William Tomaszewski
Loving, Kind, Caring, Generous,
Fun-loving, Charming, Adventurer
Dave was born in Hawaii and lived there until he was eight. He was happy, energetic and full of life and it was hard to keep up with him. He taught himself to swim before he was two and loved being outdoors in nature. He had a happy, carefree childhood and put himself into everything he did 150%.
In middle school, he was the class President and a gifted soccer player. By high school he was into the arts. He wrote poetry and painted and was selected to paint murals on the high school walls. His parents nurtured his artistic talent never expecting the alcohol and drug use that would alter his life path.
While still young, Dave had a son, Josh, and from that point on he worked hard to provide for his family. He put everyone ahead of himself, working 2nd shift at a recycling facility while trying to finish school. Not wanting to leave Josh without his support and guidance when Josh was only a toddler, Dave made the hard decision not to go to a year-long rehab. The most important thing in his life was his devotion, parenting, and connection to his son, Josh.
Two years after Dave's passing, the family set up a Facebook memorial page that grew to over 500 followers. Even today, 18 years after his death, people are posting what Dave meant to them; how he helped them and how much they will always remember him. Some of them still carry his funeral card in their wallets and look at it often. This is a great source of comfort to his family.
His dad, Rick, says he really misses Dave's sense of humor, which he is heartened to see lives on in Dave's son, Josh. His mom, Carol, misses the feeling of being loved and getting hugs from her only son. His sister wrote that he was an extraordinary person with captivating eyes and a comforting smile. Everyone gravitated to him and would not know that he battled everyday with addiction.
Dave's parents have changed a lot since their experience with his addiction. They have a better understanding of the disease of addiction and how severely it can change the lives of everyone around it. For that reason, they have established a scholarship fund in Dave's name. It is given to those who have faced some type of tragedy in their life that has affected their ability to do well in high school, making them ineligible for other scholarship opportunities.
They are also long term members of Bereaved Parents, USA, where Carol was honored as 2018 Organization Chapter Leader of the Year. They have found a purpose after Dave's death in reaching out to other parents who share the tragedy of losing a child. They attend monthly meetings and the yearly memorial walk and service of remembrance. They have made many good friends though this group "for all the wrong reasons." They say the work helps them to keep Dave's memory alive; "it is hard, but beautiful."
Dave's parents, Carol and Rick Tomaszewski, were interviewed for this profile.

That Seattle "gun violence tax" didn't really pan out as predicted
It's been more than a year since we looked at Seattle's so-called "gun violence tax." That ill conceived idea imposed a tax on all firearms and ammunition sold in the city with the proceeds ostensibly being earmarked for gun violence studies. The optimistic predictions of the authors of the tax legislation indicated that the city would take in anywhere from $300K to a half million dollars per year from this action. So how did that work out? As the NRA Institute for Legislative Action reports this week… not very well at all.
NRA will target Democrats who vote against Gorsuch
In a new threat to Senate Democratic leaders trying to harness members in opposition to the Supreme Court nomination of Neil Gorsuch, the influential National Rifle Association has leveled the threat that it will make sure members know who votes for – and against – the conservative judge they've endorsed.

Saudis Are the Oil Market's Biggest Losers
The last few years have been difficult for anyone in the business of selling oil, as prices tumbled from over $110 per barrel to a nadir of just $27, before rebounding to the middle ground they reside in today, at roughly $50 per barrel. Bargain crude has forced state producers like Russia or OPEC's members to cut budgets in an attempt to stop the bleeding, and it's forced many private firms—especially those operating in relatively high areas like shale—out of business.
Canada's Oil Sands Looking Like a Smart Bet
The collapse in crude oil price made life difficult for producer the world over, but for those private companies overseeing relatively high-cost operations, the bearish market became something of a life and death issue. Canada's oil sands are tremendously energy intensive, meaning that it takes a lot of work to get the admittedly massive quantities of crude trapped in the Albertan formations out of the ground. That production is also quite expensive, and the downturn in prices made it unprofitable. But as the WSJ reports, much of the initial investments necessary to get that oil sands crude flowing have already been made, so there's still life yet for Canada's oil ambitions.
Effect of Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations on Early Human Societies
During the past 100,000 years, human societies have witnessed the vast change in climate that has occurred as we have transitioned from a glacial period that ended about 20,000 years ago, into the current interglacial period. During the early stages of this period, human lived as hunter/gatherers, relying on a diet that was very heavily weighted towards meat from a wide variety of wild animals, but also included eggs, nuts, fruits and grasses, to the past 10,000 years or less, when agriculture became a much more dominate feature in society and allowed human populations to remain in the one area and create towns and small hamlets. With agriculture came the domestication of many of the wild meat sources.
The GOP Health Care Bill Falls Into The Obamacare Trap
The Republican health care bill would bring immediate pain for future gain—a recipe that promises to satisfy no one, just like Obamacare.
"ObamaCare is the law of the land": Sure sounds like the GOP is giving up on health-care reform now
So … that's it? An ill-conceived two-month effort in the House falls short and Republicans throw in the towel on seven years of trying to replace ObamaCare? The White House doesn't want to offer its own alternative? McConnell has nothing in the pipeline he might want to suggest?
Here we go: Trump now ready to work with Democrats on health-care fix

Keep Calm and Propagandize On
The initial reporting after terrorist attacks these days is often full of hesitation and curious silences. The death toll is usually low-balled and the identity of the attacker is left hazy for as long as possible. So it is not surprising that the first reports on this attack identified the terrorist as merely "Asian."

The Hate Group That Incited the Middlebury Melee
Under different circumstances, Alabama civil rights lawyer Morris S. Dees and American Enterprise Institute scholar Charles Murray might have been colleagues, even pals. Instead, Murray found himself in a near-riot at Middlebury College after accepting a speaking invitation from Republican students at the Vermont school. Students and faculty galvanized by Dees' political organization barred Murray from speaking. They shouted him down, chanted their own manifesto, and pulled fire alarms to prevent him from being heard.

The uncomfortable racial preferences revealed by online dating
Unsurprisingly, most "yes's" go unanswered, but there are patterns: For example, Asian women responded to white men who "yessed" them 7.8% of the time, more often than they responded to any other race. On the other hand, white men responded to black women 8.5% of the time-less often than for white, Latino, or Asian women. In general, men responded to women about three times as often as women responded to men.

Kamala Harris Won't Vote For Gorsuch Because He Rules With The Law Not Feelings
During the Senate confirmation hearings for Neil Gorsuch, several democrats suggested that Trump's nominee was unfit to serve because he believes in the Constitution. Seeing as how the job of Supreme Court Justice is to determine the Constitutionality of things, this seems like a pretty bizarre argument, but democrats aren't known for being rational. Speaking of which, California democrat Kamala Harris says she won't be voting to confirm Gorsuch because he bases his decisions on the law instead of feelings.
Teen Vogue Writer: "All White People Are Evil"
Everyone is looking for racism in everything these days and yet ignoring it where it plainly asserts itself. Racism is defined by Webster's dictionary as "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior." With that in mind, let's look at Teen Vogue freelancer Lara Witt's Twitter feed (which she has recently made private, failing to realize that screengrabs are forever).

What next for Sinai's displaced Copts?
Hundreds of Christian families escaped the city of el-Arish Feb. 24 after the Islamic State (IS) and its branch in Egypt, Wilayat Sinai, increased attacks on Copts there. It is believed to be the largest wave of collective displacement in Egypt since the June 1967 war. Coptic families have discretely been experiencing displacement since the Egyptian government declared a war on terrorism in July 2013, but Cairo and the media have taken an interest in this latest wave because it involves collective migration. No official census figures are available on the Coptic population in the Sinai.

Europe Is Eroding from the South
Italians used to look to Europe as a kind of savior: the Italian state was corrupt and inept, but Brussels would set a higher standard, and by loyal support for the EU, Italy could rise above its own problems. These days, the EU looks more like an anchor than a lifejacket, as a recent Italian poll bears out. Not only is the anti-establishment Five-Star Movement Italy's most popular party, but the combined support for Five-Star, Lega Nord, and Forza Italia—all hostile to varying degrees to the current euro project and to the German vision behind it—totals nearly 60%. That is significant by any measure, indicating a dramatic shift in perceptions that portends serious danger for the European project today.

Welcome to London: We can say we're not afraid, light candles and make hearts of our hands but the truth is that we can't go on like this, says KATIE HOPKINS
They stood in the centre of Brussels. Row on row. Hands held high, making hearts to the heavens. Showing the slaughtered they were not forgotten. Reminding themselves they were here with love. Looking to show humanity wins. That love conquers all. They lay in the centre of London, face down where they fell. Stabbed by a knife, rammed with a car, flung, broken, into the Thames, life bleeding out on the curb.

Kafkatrapping
Good causes sometimes have bad consequences. Blacks, women, and other historical out-groups were right to demand equality before the law and the full respect and liberties due to any member of our civilization; but the tactics they used to "raise consciousness" have sometimes veered into the creepy and pathological, borrowing the least sane features of religious evangelism.
The Anglo-Americans
Daniel Hannan, member of the European Parliament and longtime friend of National Review, pronounces the word "democracy" unlike any American politician – and it is not his English accent. American politicians of the Left use "democracy" in the vaguest possible way, as a catch-all for all things good in politics, even the un-democratic and anti-democratic ones. Politicians of the Right use "democracy" with some skepticism, having been taught to emphasize the fact that the United States is a republic, not a democracy, the latter being something that the Founders feared and dreaded and pronounced themselves opposed to even as they crafted the greatest set of democratic institutions known to man.

Explicating "Amy"
Minnesota Senator Al Franken is not a lawyer, but he plays one on the Senate Judiciary Committee. A former comedian, he hasn't been intentionally funny in a long, long time. He was laughable when he sought to educate Neil Gorsuch on an undisputed issue of statutory construction in one of the cases heard by Gorsuch on the Tenth Circuit. Franken cited a nutshell on statutory construction to support his performance. Franken poured great emotion into the line: "I question your judgment."

In fact, Trump's tweeting habits are so far mainly undermining his effectiveness.

Trigger-Warning Tyrants

Shrugging Off the Liberal "Resistance"
American tourists in foreign countries once had the reputation of believing that if they shouted loud enough the dumb foreigner standing there with a puzzled look on his face would somehow understand what they were saying.

But while he's doing this, the Roadrunner sneaks up behind him and beep-beeps loudly, startling Coyote right off the cliff he's standing on. For a moment the Coyote hangs suspended in the air. Then he looks down. Gravity reasserts itself with a vengeance and he plummets helplessly earthwards, hitting the ground with a puff of dust.

The former detective issued the guilty plea under an agreement that she serve 180 days in jail and 160 days in remission. Also in the plea deal was a $1,000 fine, 2 years of probation, 150 hours of community service, $1,609 of restitution, and dismissal of felony charges related to the accident.

Has the EU escaped a Chinese rescue?
Greece's decision to turn for help to China first highlights a few disturbing trends for Europe.
By François Godement
It looks like Greece will be all right. After years of denial and budget blow-outs that left the country's public finance in a dire mess, it was announced after the summit of EU leaders on 11 February that – in one way or another – the eurozone will support Greece in getting its economy back on track. There is some disappointment surrounding the failure to come up with a solid rescue plan for Greece after German resistance to a swift bail-out. But, all in all, the eurozone is sticking by its most troubled member.
Europeans asking each other for help and getting it (albeit in undefined terms) looks like good news for the European Union. But there is one worrying element to this Greek tragedy that people seem to have forgotten: Greece went to China first.
In late January, Greece, through the good services of Goldman Sachs, offered China €25 billion of its public bonds.
We know we are living through a power shift from West to East. We also know that Europe has difficulty coping with pressing global issues. But this opening by Greece to China highlights a few more disturbing trends for Europe.
The first is obvious: Greece is in a very fragile position, and this proposed deal showed how desperate the nation's politicians are to get out of it. The fact that the whole affair became public before the actual conclusion of any deal not only weakened Greece's bargaining hand, but also showed just how little control the Greeks have on sensitive financial information.
Secondly, Greece had decided to make its bid for a Chinese rescue alone. Not only did this weaken its own hand, but it also decreased Europe's financial leverage vis-à-vis China. It seems the deal was proposed without co-ordination at the EU level, and perhaps as an alternative to a Greek appeal to the eurozone. The fact that the attempt was led by Goldman Sachs, and not by a European bank, supports this idea.
But there was a more alarming side to this story. Yes, Greece will (probably) not have to rely on the Chinese now that the eurozone has pledged its (undefined) support. And if the eurozone fails to pull through, Greece could always call the International Monetary Fund. But if China accepted the Greek offer, what leverage would China gain over Europe? China's investment funds cannot be seen to be so willing to pour money into failing public budgets unless there is a very good reason to do so. True, China has lent huge amounts of money to Russia, Brazil and western African nations. But these were trade-offs for equally huge natural resource deals. Unless we count the craftiness of Ulysses' scions as a natural resource, Greece does not have much to barter with.
Save for one contribution the Greeks could offer the Chinese: the opportunity to leverage the foreign policy of the European Union.
Greece's positive attitude to China cannot be worth €25bn on its own. Yet when each of the 27 member states has veto power over many of the EU's foreign policy decisions, forging a tight Greek connection is certainly worth something. China can already count on Cyprus as its best friend in Europe, thanks to support at the UN. And what about Spain, the other likely candidate within the eurozone for a budget emergency, and which has just loudly proclaimed it wanted the EU arms embargo against China lifted in the next few months?
All this leads to one conclusion: the EU should have its own public bond issue. It could then seek investment from China and other surplus countries. Europe's market for bail-out capital, particularly at the periphery of its borders, and its need for large new investments in infrastructures (transport, energy distribution and alternative energy), suggest that capital investment from China would be a useful quid pro quo for China's huge trade surplus with Europe.
Europe would have little reason to worry: since the money would be spent quickly, it would not lead to a rise of the euro any more than China's purchase of US Treasury bonds caused a rise in the dollar. These public bonds – launched at the level of the European Union, not by a single member state – would imply budgetary oversight and measured economic decisions at the European level, not run-away speculation of the sub-prime variety or the kind of vicious fiscal circle Greece has put itself in.
Common and co-ordinated progress to create a European public bond market, after the remarkable performance of the European Central Bank in September-October 2008, would signal a strong Europe that has innovative financial instruments beyond the common currency. At the height of the financial crisis in September 2008, Jean-Claude Trichet, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), exclaimed that there were limits to what the ECB could achieve for lack of conventional budget and debt instruments. A Europe where the weaker members of the eurozone run first to powerful outside creditors for help only demonstrates the ECB's weakness.
In this new global era, foreign policy and financial leverage (and the lack of both) are closely linked. It is of urgent necessity that Europe learns the lessons from the Greek misstep and acquires a common stance towards China on the financial front. That stand need not be adverse: it just needs to be common. We would not want our common foreign policy and security, somewhat empowered by the post-Lisbon institutions, to fall hostage to misguided and desperate financial decisions by one or two weak member states.

Here's how to declare beans via Java Config, ranging from inter-bean references to using dependencies as method parameters.
I found it hard to choose a topic to describe in my first blog post. I wanted it not to be too trivial, nor too complicated It turned out that there are many basic concepts in Spring Framework that can be confusing. Java-based configuration is one of them. I hear my colleagues asking from time to time about it, and I see numerous questions regarding it on StackOverflow. Nevermind the motivation, below you will find a compact description of how to declare beans with Java Config.
Please note that this post won't cover bean dependencies of different scopes nor discussion on annotations like @Component, @Service, @Repository, etc., that are often a good alternative to the described approach. Java Config might seem to be overkill in many situations, but I hope you will find the post useful anyway. Let's go!
The first solution is pretty straightforward, and it's called inter-bean reference. The MyService bean depends on MyRepository. In order to fulfill this dependency, we pass the myRepository() method as a constructor parameter (constructor injection).
MyService stays the same. Now we want to create a singleton bean of type MyRepository, where the prefix and suffix are values from an external properties file. In order to inject those properties, we will use the @Value annotation.
Wait, what did I just do? I did a constructor injection with a method having both params equal to null. Here is how it all works: The @Configuration annotation tells Spring that so-annotated class will have one or more beans defined inside. The @Bean annotation is a way of telling the Spring container to manage the bean returned by that so-annotated method. Like in the examples above, the @Bean methods are generally used inside configuration classes, which are proxied by CGLIB — the result of the bean-defining method is registered as a Spring bean, and each call of this method will return the same bean (as long as it is a singleton of course). Thus, thanks to CGLIB, whatever params you use while calling such methods (like nulls in the example above), you will get the proper bean. Remember also that according to CGLIB usage, configuration classes and bean-defining methods must not be private or final.
There is a caveat, though. The @Bean annotation might be used not only in @Configuration classes — it can be used in @Component, for example. Then we are talking about a so-called Lite mode. In this case. there are no proxies created, so method invocations are not intercepted and thus interpreted as a typical Java method invocation.
I think that an inter-bean reference is a very nice way of defining bean dependencies inside a @Configuration class as long as the bean-defining method has no parameters. Otherwise, I go with the option below — read on!
As I mentioned before, @Configuration is a @Component. Thus, you can inject it as if it is a regular bean and call its methods in order to retrieve beans (you will inject a CGLIB proxy!).
This looks nice and gives you the ability to relate different configurations that are not necessarily under the same context scope. In this setup, you can use the autowiring of beans and the configuration class as well (see the two previous code snippets).
Defining bean dependencies is a very basic concept of Spring Framework, but as you could see here, there are lots of possibilities to do it, and there are enough approaches to get confused. Which to choose, which is the best, which looks nice, and which is ugly — it depends on the situation and personal (or team) preferences. How do I do it?
When I have bean definitions inside one configuration class, and bean-definig methods have no parameters, I use inter-bean references. Otherwise, I choose passing a bean as a method parameter. Easy IDE navigation is not as vital as good-looking code.
When I have two @Configuration classes inside a common context, I pass beans as method paremeters or autowire them.
When I have two @Configuration classes in separate contexts, I use an @Import annotation and I pass beans as method paremeters or autowire them.

UC Davis, Family Reach $9 Million Settlement In C-Section Case

UC Davis, Family Reach $9 Million Settlement In
C-Section Case
CBS Sacramento Sept 27, 2013
DAVIS (CBS13) — UC Davis Medical Center reached a $9 million settlement with a family whose child will need 24-hour nursing care for the rest of her life. From the moment 2-year-old Leah Gumb was born, she's struggled to just to live each day.
"They took her right away to resuscitate her, and then she was put on a cooling blanket," her mom, Jenny Kaminer said. "She was blue and lifeless. Didn't cry, didn't move. It was obvious to us that something was really catastrophically wrong with her."
During labor, Leah's heart rate would drop, and there wasn't enough blood from her mother's placenta to give her oxygen. Kaminer signed a waiver at the medical center to deliver the baby by C-section. But doctors decided against it.
"Why, when they got me into the O.R., did they not perform the C-section?" she said. "I was told, 'If this happens again, you need a C-section,' which is why I signed the consent without any hesitation. And I still don't know to this day when doctors made the decision to not perform the C-section."
Once Leah was born, she spent the next 30 days in the hospital. Until recently, she's been getting food from a feeding tube. He parents filed a lawsuit, and on Friday they were awarded damages.
UC Davis Medical Center released the following statement:
"This case is devastating for everyone involved, especially for the parents and child. We share their sorrow. In the best interests of all parties, we reached a settlement agreement. We cannot discuss the details of the case at this time."
Leah's care will be costly, but now the family has the money they need to give her the best chance at a normal life as possible.
"The settlement is very welcome in the sense that it relieves our financial burden in the sense that it allows us to get her as much therapy as she needs without worrying about the cost," Kaminer said.
The family has had another child since Leah's birth, who is healthy and doing very well.

Women's Business Centers Get $2.7 Million in SBA Grants
The Small Business Administration (SBA) has issued 14 grant awards to organizations across the US in a drive to improve delivery, training and support to women-owned businesses impacted by Covid-19.
Each grant awarded equated to up to $200,000. They are part of the Women's Business Centers (WBC) Resiliency and Recovery Demonstration Grant under the SBA's Office of Women's Business Ownership (OWBO).
SBA Awards $2.7M in Grants to Women's Business Centers
From gender stereotypes to a lack of access to finance, women entrepreneurs face complex challenges when starting, growing and sustaining a business. The challenges that surfaced from the Covid-19 pandemic put additional strain on female-led businesses.
Research shows that around 83% of women entrepreneurs reported that the pandemic had a negative impact on their business, while almost four in ten say their business will or may have to close as a result.
The grant program is designed to address and meet the needs of women business owners who have been adversely affected by the pandemic. Through training and support, the project awards will help women entrepreneurs overcome the barriers and be in a better position to maintain business success.
Female Entrepreneurs are Vital for the Nation's Recovery
Natalie Madeira Cofield, Assistant Administrator for SBA's Office of Women's Business Ownership, commented on the importance of sustaining women-led businesses to help the nation recover:
"The growth and recovery of women-owned small businesses is essential to our nation's recovery. During the pandemic, our Women's Business Centers have played an integral role in meeting the needs of women entrepreneur during an especially challenging time. As resource providers, they too have been impacted by the changing business landscape and have had to pivot to meet community needs.
"With this funding, we will support WBCs that have established innovative programming to increase outreach to aspiring and active women entrepreneurs nationwide. We are proud to support organizations who have deep connections to small, diverse, and rural communities across the country and who understand their unique needs," Natalie Madeira Cofield continued.
Supporting WBCs
The grants were open to existing SBA-funded WBCs. Around $2.7 million in funding was available. Respondents that successfully secured the grants showed an innovative approach to service delivery. The proposals included detailed plans on projects to improve service delivery, training and support to women-owned businesses that have been impacted by the pandemic.
