Using the Pleistocene to Predict the Future
Jaleigh Pier
The Pleistocene landscape, 2.6 million-11,700 years ago, would have been largely recognizable, boasting many familiar plant and animal species still around today. This was also the time when our very own Homo sapiens human ancestors first evolved and spread across the world.
The climate experienced several glacial cycles through what is commonly known as the 'Ice Ages' and is best known for the large megafauna roaming the landscape, which included mammoths, mastodons, saber-toothed cats, and giant ground sloths!
These transitions between frozen tundra and thawed grassy woodlands influenced certain plants and animals to evolve and persist until present day while others struggled and faced extinction. Therefore, this window into the recent past may be useful in learning how climate change naturally affects both environment and fauna living there.
A recent PE article took a closer look at this transition in NW Armenia and southern Caucasus, the region between the Black and Caspian Seas.
Dr. Alexey Tesakov describes it as "a transition from relatively warm climate of Early Pleistocene to cyclic glacial-interglacial climate of Middle Pleistocene. Although the southern Caucasus has no direct evidence of glaciations (such as tills, ice-pushing, permafrost sedimentary features), it is generally believed that arid climate cycles correspond with glaciations of southern Europe and Western Asia."
Over time a forested landscape transitioned to steppe, a grassland landscape, where plant diversity significantly decreased. Dr Tesakov explains "broad-leaved and conifer trees were replaced by pine and birch-tree dominated assemblages signaling a drier environment."
This turnover in plant material acts as a proxy, or something from the past that can be used to estimate an environmental variable such as climate. In this case, the increase of pine and birch trees indicates a dry climate. Many other fossils were used in this study to indicate shifts in overall diversity and climate.
Bivalve molluscs from the late Early and early Middle Quaternary deposits of north-western Armenia.
"Fresh-water mollusks of large intermontane lakes show several extinctions took place but fresh-water snails maintained a high diversity. Mammals showed steady evolution through the Middle-Late Pleistocene where recent biota includes descendants of most species described for the early Middle Pleistocene of NW Armenia" explains Tesakov.
It seems periods of glaciation greatly affected plant diversity and had some effect on aquatic life, but most critters were able to adapt and persist. This research provides "accurate time bracketing" or detailed records of what was living when throughout this transition and is "especially important for mollusks and mammals" says Tesakov.
Soricidae from early Middle Pleistocene, Haykadzor, Armenia.
"A unique aspect of the Caucasus region is the abundance of volcanic rocks which are rare in most of Northern Eurasia. These provide a chance to directly date the evolutionary stages of mammalian lineages. This new data strongly confirms the existing chronology of mammals through the Early to Middle Pleistocene" explains Tesakov.
This research provides understanding of how fauna developed under the influence of climate for the Caucasus region. Multiproxy studies with exceptional dating techniques build a window into the past to view natural climate transitions. Looking into the near future, they can help forecast coming climate changes and how climate might influence biotic transitions.
"When climate-biotic interactions in the past and present are projected into the nearest future, it predicts a coming large continental glaciation. As in the past vegetation will shift south tracking warmer climate, climatic and environmental contrasts in the region will become sharper and induce morphological evolution in herbivorous mammals. Large lakes will fluctuate in size thus affecting molluscan assemblages leading to new extinctions and rapid colonization events" says Tesakov.
However, with current global warming this predicted natural cooling period may still take place but likely won't last very long.

I was able to see the Perseids this past August 3rd while staying in Inlet, NY. What I saw tonight was much different from all but one that I remember from the 3rd. The trail, the length of time it was bright, and the appearance of a low altitude made this "fireball" significantly different.
Appeared to be a smoke trail. Seemed to have a spin or a rotation to the smoke. Not long lasting, trail no longer visible at point of first sight after light subsided.


An amazing effort, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape eclipses what I wrote about it last year. Every time I went back to it, the wine revealed more nuances as well as greater depth. Full-bodied and powerful, it exhibits a compelling bouquet of creme de cassis, ground pepper, incense, seaweed, garrigue, and licorice. The knock-out aromatics are followed by a wine with colossal richness, a multilayered texture, no sense of heaviness, an incredibly deep, penetrating palate feel, and a finish that goes on for 50+ seconds. Philippe Bravay is one of the most modest and serious Chateauneuf du Pape vignerons, and it is a thrill to see him hit a home run in this vintage. For statisticians, it is made from 80- to 85+-year-old vines from two of the great sectors of Chateauneuf du Pape, La Gardiole and Cabrieres. It is composed of 90% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault. Moreover, it is the quintessential traditional Chateauneuf du Pape aged 12-14 months in tank before being bottled without filtration. The dense purple-colored 2007 will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age, and last for 20-25 years. Bravo!

John Werge, in "Epistles on Several Subjects" Collection of Original Poems (1753) 303.
The wreath of pastoral excellence is certainly due to our countryman SPENCER, who in sentiment, diction, and manner has undoubtedly given us the representation of the Golden Age, from whence we may date the birth of pastoral. Nor must it be forgot, that the pastoral wrote in the Scot's language, intitled the Gentle Shepherd, is in this species of composition a very masterly performance; but as it's beauties are almost confined to the understingings of one sett of people, it has not an opportunity of meeting with the universal applause it deserves.


The thrilling revenge drama Paanch- 5 Wrongs Make A Right on Channel V has been one of the most loved shows on the channel. But sadly for its loyal viewers, it will soon wave goodbye as the team wrapped up its shoot yesterday (16 June).
The show being a finite series was to go off air last month, but the popularity gave it a push and Paanch got an extension till July. Having a bank of episodes in the kitty, the cast and crew shot the final episode last night. And from what we hear, it was quite a teary farewell.
"The journey with the show has been really beautiful as I got to play such a challenging character," added Sheetal Singh, who plays Roshni.
The team had a small get together on the sets last night where most of the cast and crew members were seen weeping as they bid a farewell to each other.
Tellychakkar.com wishes the team great luck ahead!
Life OK's Roshni wraps up shoot!

Dr Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson (26 November 1809 in Stralsund – 18 December 1848 in Berlin) was a trained medical doctor and a German entomologist.

He was the author of many articles about insects mainly in Archiv für Naturgeschichte. When writing in Latin, he latinised Wilhelm to Guillelmus becoming either Guil. F. Erichson or G.F. Erichson. He wrote a paper in 1842 on insect species collected at Woolnorth in Tasmania, Australia, which was the first detailed research published on the biogeography of Australian animals and was very influential in raising scientific interest in Australian fauna.

Erichson was the curator of the Coleoptera collections at the Museum fur Naturkunde in Berlin from 1834 to 1848. Erichson's Scarabaeidae classification is nearly identical to the modern one.

ELEANOR HALL: To South Australia, where the royal commission into the nuclear industry for the state starts today.
The issue has already drawn fierce criticism from conservation groups and the Government altered the terms of reference in response.
The Labor Premier Jay Weatherill told Natalie Whiting that Australia needs to have a rational discussion about nuclear power.
JAY WEATHERILL: I hope it raises people's awareness so that they can work through the technical, ethical and practical issues associated with this very important industry.
NATALIE WHITING: When announcing this royal commission, you initially said that the threat of climate change was what had changed your mind, but later you said you thought a power plant would be one of the least likely results of the royal commission.
So what is your motivation at looking at the nuclear fuel cycle?
JAY WEATHERILL: Well, I think those two things are consistent.
NATALIE WHITING: So you think we could support them by having their waste come here perhaps?
JAY WEATHERILL: Well, certainly we can support them by supplying them with uranium to be used in these particular plants.
NATALIE WHITING: Which we are doing at the moment with uranium mining?
JAY WEATHERILL: True but we don't for instance refine any of our uranium so it goes out in a relatively unprocessed form.
So that's the first question - whether we should be more deeply involved in the refinement.
Secondly there is the question of the power, but as I already said I think it's probably unlikely, but I think the thing that does seem to be a possibility is the idea of taking back waste that is associated with certainly the use of our uranium but possibly even as a use of other uranium.
NATALIE WHITING: In terms of setting up a nuclear waste dump, how big of an economic boon would that be for the state? Obviously we are in a tough financial position at the moment.
JAY WEATHERILL: We need to first decide whether it's a thing we want to do, whether it's practical to do that and whether it's safe to do it but there's no doubt that we've seen some very substantial economic benefits that have been mooted about that possibility.
NATALIE WHITING: I know figures in the billions have been mentioned.
JAY WEATHERILL: That's right, we have heard those numbers, but I don't know the truth or otherwise of those things and they're things that really do need to be explored by the royal commission.
NATALIE WHITING: In terms of a nuclear waste dump, it's been said by a lot of experts that areas of the north-west in the outback would be an ideal location.
I know that those talkings have raised serious concerns with some of the Indigenous communities out there.
What are you plans or what do you hope that the royal commission will do in terms of consulting with these remote Indigenous communities?
JAY WEATHERILL: We have a specific mandate to consult with Aboriginal communities and there are great sensitivities here.
I mean we've had the use and abuse of the lands of the Maralinga Tjarutja people by the British when they tested their atomic weapons.
Of course on the other side, I've heard of Aboriginal communities that are interested in taking advantage of the economic opportunities that might be presented by these things.
NATALIE WHITING: The royal commission is looking at a one year time frame; I know the Federal Government is already in the midst of a tender process to find a waste dump site.
Are you concerned that we'll miss that ship?
JAY WEATHERILL: No, I mean I think this has to be done properly and obviously the Commonwealth will pay close attention to our royal commission.
They support it and I understand they'll be supporting it with resources and they also plan to make a submission.
NATALIE WHITING: Your predecessor, premier Mike Rann, was vehemently opposed to a waste dump, fought tooth and nail against it.
Federal Labor is still opposed to nuclear power.
Is this a backflip on your part, are you stepping out on your own, or do you expect other parts of the Labor Party to follow this change in direction?
JAY WEATHERILL: Well, there's no doubt it's changing position for me personally and also for my party to even contemplate these matters, but it is still a process, I mean we still have to arrive at a conclusion at the end of the royal commission.
We're conducting a discussion, we're not announcing a policy position.
These are positions on which the party's position evolves.
Whether we will be seeking to change the party's position and what the party would say about that in the future are all matters for another day.
ELEANOR HALL: That's South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill, speaking to Natalie Whiting in Adelaide.


Do you like to know the difference between marketing, advertising, and branding? It is challenging to understand difference between marketing, advertising, and branding. Marketing is described by the Wikipedia dictionary as an enterprise term discussing the advertising of products, especially advertising and branding. The word developed from the primary meaning which known literally to heading to markets, such as shopping, or leading to the market to market goods or services.
In professional use, the word has a broader interpretation of the practice and knowledge of trading. Also, Marketing can be an organizational function and a couple of services for creating, interacting and providing value to customers. It also refers to managing customer connections with techniques that benefit the business and its own stakeholders.
Marketing practice is commonly regarded as a creative industry, which includes advertising, circulation, and selling. Additionally, it is worried about anticipating the customers' future needs and needs, which are generally learned through general market trends.
The study of marketing is a broad and closely interconnected subject matter with considerable academics magazines. Marketing methods are also educated by lots of the social sciences, especially mindset, sociology, and economics. Anthropology is also a little, but growing effect. General market trends underpin these activities. Through advertising, additionally, it is related to numerous of the creative arts. The marketing books are also infamous for re-inventing itself and its own vocabulary in line with the times and the culture.
So as you can view marketing is an extremely complex subject matter that is associated with advertising and branding. It is ever before evolving because individuals' needs are ever before changing. Technology is the critical reason we turn what we should buy, but there are other reasons, too. Fads and styles also dictate that which we buy. It's the activity for marketing experts to find what these movements will be. One of the principal sources for learning about this is market tests.
Online market evaluation is done on a regular basis, typically for just one product at the same time. Checking the internet search engine tools we can uncover what people are trying to find online. The occurrence a keyword or search phrase is utilized offers us a sign of just what people were looking for through the earlier month and the same will additionally apply to trends.
So although advertising is an integral part of marketing, marketing is also an essential part of advertising, and confusing within is branding as well. Understanding the difference between marketing, advertising, and branding is complicated. To advertise a product you will need to market it. However, the advertisement must include some areas of marketing to work. Branding, on the contrary, is what sort of company or product is accepted. It also utilizes marketing but can be used in advertising. Branding is merely building something unique or exceptional in regards to a product or company.
The difference between marketing, advertising, and branding is confusing. Branding reputation is accomplished often by a brand including the McDonald's arches or the Nike. You understand when you see them what things to expect. Regarding McDonald's, you think of 1 of the sandwiches or foods. This instant reputation is what you would like, but sometimes it's been taken too considerably and identifies any product of this kind. To view an excellent example Kleenex has lost their branding because many people refer to all facial tissues as Kleenex.
Marketing and advertising will be the means where we get branding to work for all of us, but that's not their only function and definitely not their primary function. Their primary purpose is to market something or service to prospects. How this is performed is where the problems begin. To begin with, you need to seize the customer's attention. This is accomplished in many ways. Using artwork or possessing a catchy headline are two ways to do this.
Once you've grabbed their attention, you will need to keep it by revealing to them how they'll benefit by making use of your service or product. This is most beneficial done by supporting those to envision themselves profiting from whatever it is you're retailing. A method is to share a story, other ways are to provide examples, yet different ways is to list the vast benefits of descriptively.
Now you understand the difference between marketing, advertising, and branding. If you have more examples to show the difference between marketing, advertising, and branding, share with us.

Albert Baskerville
He founded rugby league in New Zealand and was one of the instigators of international league, organising the first tests in Australia, England and Wales.
Sporting Category:
Baskerville was a rugby player who became intrigued with the breakaway sport of Northern Union being played in England and in 1907 organised the first New Zealand league team.
He recruited several of the Original All Blacks and took the team first to Sydney, where he persuaded leading rugby players to also take up the new sport.
One of them, Dally Messenger, joined the All Golds on their tour and was later one of the most revered players in Australian league.
Baskerville's team played 35 games in Britain and won test series against England and Australia, but lost to Wales.
Baskerville, only 25, died of pneumonia in Brisbane on the way home from the tour.
The first league match in New Zealand, at Athletic Park in Wellington in 1908, was played in his honour.

Police presence and enquiries to continue over weekend
Chief Inspector Lindsay Tulloch has said that there will be a "continued police presence" this weekend.
This comes after the deaths of Tracey Walker in Ladies Drive, and Peggy Griffiths in a house explosion in Brae earlier this week.
Two people appeared in Lerwick Sheriff Court on Thursday afternoon charged with Ms Walker's murder.
Mr Tulloch said that "locally based officers and specialist resources from elsewhere in Scotland" would be on patrol over the weekend, and would be carrying out "ongoing enquiries" in relation to the incidents.
"This past week has seen a number of high profile and tragic incidents in Shetland which we know has had a considerable impact on our island community.
"Incidents such as we have seen this week are extremely rare in Shetland and I would like to place on record our gratitude to local residents who have been incredibly supportive of the police investigations.
"You may see a continued police presence over the coming days".
Mr Tulloch also thanked the people of Shetland "for their patience and understanding during this period".
"My sympathy and thoughts are very much with those directly affected and their families."

Lyme & Morgellons Disease: The Growing Connection

Lyme + Morgellons Disease: The Growing Connection
by Jenny Lelwica Buttaccio
On the surface, it has all the makings of a medical drama episode on a mystery illness: unexplained skin lesions, a widespread set of symptoms impacting physical and mental health, and contested medical debates over its validity. In real life, it's known as Morgellons disease, an illness that affects 3.65 in 100,000 people each year, according to research in the online, peer-reviewed medical journal PLOS One.
In other words, it's quite rare by medical community standards, but it's no less distressing or life-altering for those who endure it. And while the cause of Morgellons is a matter of hot debate, emerging research suggests ties to Lyme disease and common coinfections.
A Closer Look at Morgellons Disease
Morgellons often presents with puzzling dermatological symptoms. Patients describe a variety of unusual skin problems such as unexplained sores containing colored, thread-like structures or filaments, intense itching, and sensations of crawling or being stung by insects. Patients may also report other phenomena like flecks or particles emerging from the skin that resemble sand, seeds, or other tiny granules.
Currently, the cause of the illness remains unknown, and arguments about whether the disease is psychological or physical have ensued. Some healthcare professionals believe Morgellons is psychological — the result of a kind of delusion known as "delusional parasitosis."
In a delusion such as this, patients may hold an unwavering belief they have been infested with parasites, fleas, worms, lice, or other types of organisms. The problem with this theory, however, is that Morgellons patients often have multi-systemic symptoms that parasites alone don't explain such as fatigue, joint pain, fibromyalgia, and difficulty sleeping, as stated in a case report in the Annals of Dermatology.
Previously, some clinicians believed the filaments in the skin might have come from textile fibers or, worse, placed there by the patients themselves. However, a 2013 study sheds new light on the illness by evaluating colored filaments from tissue specimens gathered from the calluses of four female patients. The findings revealed the filaments weren't comprised of textiles or synthetic materials at all. Instead, they were made up of substances in the body, including keratin, melanin, collagen, and other proteins.
Moreover, researchers discovered the presence of borrelia species of spirochetes in the participants' tissue samples, indicating an infectious process might be one of the underlying mechanisms behind this illness. The multi-symptom illness overlaps with the symptoms of chronic Lyme disease and coinfections, but with only small-scale research on the topic, there are many layers yet to peel back.
"It bothers me on all the accounts that some physicians have blown off Morgellons patients or accused them of putting fibers into their tissues," says Bill Rawls, MD, Medical Director of RawlsMD and Vital Plan. "When you look at how microbes like borrelia work and how they destroy collagen, it's plausible that they are an underlying factor in this illness."
In a 2016 study, researchers suggest the "dermopathy" (patches, spots, or lesions on the skin) of Morgellons is connected to tick-borne diseases, and they've discovered several species of borrelia in skin specimens: Borrelia burgdorferi (the predominant species causing Lyme disease), Borrelia garinii, Borrelia miyamotoi, and Borrelia hermsii.
"Morgellons may be a variant of Lyme disease that happens to affect the skin," says Dr. Rawls. But it may develop in only a fraction of people who contract the tick-borne disease.
To date, there is no consensus on what causes Morgellons or why it affects some people and not others. Despite an association with borrelia, many health experts remain skeptical that the illness is brought about by an infection. Though Morgellons is a misunderstood and controversial illness, funding is needed for research, and awareness is of the utmost importance so that patients can get an accurate diagnosis.
Let's explore some of the signs, symptoms, diagnostics, and treatment strategies for Morgellons.
Symptoms of Morgellons Disease
People with Morgellons can have a variety of symptoms, affecting multiple systems of the body. The symptoms include:
Skin lesions of unknown origin
Extreme itching
Crawling sensations
Colored, thread-like fibers coming out of the skin
Memory issues
Psychiatric problems, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and delusions
Diagnosing Morgellons Disease
Morgellons can be difficult to diagnose, notes Dr. Rawls, especially if healthcare providers don't know enough about the illness to look for it. The Charles E. Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation (CEHF), a nonprofit aimed at supporting awareness, education, and advocacy efforts, recommends seeing a Lyme-literate medical doctor (LLMD) to evaluate the presence of Lyme or other tick-borne diseases.
There isn't a specific test to detect for Morgellons, but doctors may diagnose it if a person has slow or non-healing wounds, fibers in the lesions, or crawling or itching sensations of the skin. Skin samples may be tested for the presence of bacterial infections like Borrelia burgdorferi or Staphylococcus. Lyme specialists may also use testing from laboratories such as Igenex to confirm whether Lyme may be a factor in the illness.
Treatment of Morgellons Disease
There is no singular approach to the treatment of Morgellons that will work for everyone. Realistically, there's a lot of trial and error to figure out what strategies will be most effective for the illness.
A good treatment approach focuses on comprehensive ways to improve multi-systemic symptoms and address pathogens such as borrelia and coinfections like bartonella and babesia. Treatment protocols may also include topical medications to address infections of skin lesions or referrals to mental health professionals if psychiatric manifestations of the illness occur.
Incorporating Herbal Therapy
Natural remedies might play a role in managing symptoms and helping you feel better as well. "Because borrelia may be a component of Morgellons disease, I think herbal therapy is an essential foundation to a recovery program," says Dr. Rawls. Though there's a lot we still don't know about the illness, herbs suppress a variety of harmful microbes, balance the immune system, and improve energy — all of which will have a positive effect on symptoms.
Though herbs aren't a proven method of treatment for Morgellons, they have a low risk for toxicity and side effects. So it might be worth discussing the benefits and risks with your healthcare provider to see if natural therapies could help restore your health. Some foundational herbs to explore include:
Cat's claw is native to the Amazon region. The herb is a staple among Lyme disease protocols due to its antimicrobial qualities. It also contains immune-modulating properties to quiet an overactive immune system and reduce inflammation. It has historical use in alleviating the pain associated with arthritis, too.
Suggested dosage: 400-800 mg two to three times daily (inner bark standardized to 3% alkaloids or 10:1 concentrate inner bark is preferred). It is especially important to take this herb with food, as it is activated by stomach acid. If you take acid-blocking drugs, cat's claw won't have a significant impact on you.
Side effects: The herb is generally well tolerated, but occasional stomach upset has been reported.
Native to India, andrographis has antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitic properties to defend against a spectrum of microbes. The herb has immune-enhancing, cardioprotective, and liver-protective qualities. Like cat's claw, andrographis is a staple among natural Lyme protocols.
Suggested dosage: 200-800 mg (extract standardized to 10-30% andrographolides) two to three times daily
Side effects: Approximately 1% of people who take andrographis develop an allergic reaction with whole-body hives and itching skin. This is a higher percentage than most other herbs. The reaction will resolve gradually over several weeks once the herb has been discontinued.
Berberine is an antimicrobial herb and helps to restore balance to the microbiome.
Suggested dosage: The dose will vary depending on the preparation used.
Side effects: In most cases, berberine is generally well tolerated. Side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort and low blood pressure.
Garlic has been used for medicinal purposes since the beginning of recorded time. The active ingredient in garlic is called allicin, and it has antiprotozoal, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Also, it assists in supporting the immune system and balancing the flora of the microbiome.
Suggested dosage: 180-1200 mg of a stabilized allicin product two to three times daily (dosage is dependent on the garlic preparation used)
Side effects: Raw garlic may cause stomach upset, but stabilized allicin products are associated with few side effects and are generally well tolerated.
As a medicinal mushroom, reishi contains adaptogen properties and is antimicrobial and immune-modulating. The herb reduces inflammatory cytokines and supports the immune system's ability to combat pathogens. Reishi supports the liver and heart as well.
Suggested dosage: 1-2 grams (1000-2000 mg) whole mushroom powder or 150-500 mg standardized extract (minimum 20% beta-glucans preferred) two to three times daily.
Side effects: Reishi tends to be well tolerated with rare side effects and no known toxicity.
Chinese Skullcap
As a multi-purpose herb, Chinese skullcap has antimicrobial properties, dampens cytokines, and supports immunity. It works synergistically with other herbal remedies to enhance their effectiveness. It also has naturally-occurring melatonin, which may help to induce sleep.
Suggested dosage: 400-1000 mg two to three times daily. Note that American skullcap does not offer the same antimicrobial properties and should not be substituted.
Side effects: Even at high doses, side effects are rare and often limited to gastrointestinal discomfort.

"We don't know that much about Morgellons yet, and our perception is that it's not that common," says Dr. Rawls. Therefore, he warns that many patients will likely see several doctors before finding one who is willing to investigate the root cause more thoroughly and try various treatment approaches.
"When physicians are confronted with something they don't know, they have two choices: One is to look further into it. The other is to try to make things go away as fast as possible," says Dr. Rawls. "I hope we can become the type of medical community who looks further into it and seeks to help Morgellons patients as best as we can."

Reframing delusional infestation: perspectives on unresolved puzzles https://www.dovepress.com/reframing-delusional-infestation-perspectives-on-unresolved-puzzles-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-PRBM
Abstract: Delusional infestation (DI), a debilitating psychocutaneous condition, featured as a false fixed belief of being infested accompanied by somatosensory abnormality, behavior alteration, and cognitive impairment. Although management of primary causes and pharmacotherapy with antipsychotics and/or antidepressants can help to alleviate symptoms in most patients, the underlying etiology of DI still remains unclear. Morgellons disease (MD), characterized by the presence of cutaneous filaments projected from or embedded in skin, is also a polemic issue because of its relationship with spirochetal infection. This review aims to discuss the following topics that currently confuse our understandings of DI: 1) the relationship of real/sham "infestation" with DI/MD; 2) behavior alterations, such as self-inflicted trauma; 3) neuroimaging abnormality and disturbance in neurotransmitter systems; and 4) impaired insight in patients with this disease. In discussion, we try to propose a multifactorial approach to the final diagnosis of DI/MD. Future studies exploring the neurobiological etiology of DI/MD are warranted.

Amendment to the Thai Civil and Commercial Code to Promote Start-Up Enterprises
Ever since the Cabinet's approval granted on October 17, 2017, the Act amending the Thai Civil and Commercial Code ("Act") is still pending consideration by the Office of the Council of State. Despite this prolonged legislative process, the draft gives us a glimpse of a striking revolution of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code ("TCCC") provisions, which have been enforced ever since its enactment in 1992. Having been initiated by the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion ("OSMEP"), the primary intent of the Act is to promote start-up enterprises in Thailand, and this draft could be another critical step toward the modernization of Thailand's corporate regulatory scheme and the essential incentives to boost the investment section.
In the light of legal changes under the proposed draft, this article aims to highlight key points of the Act, provide a comparison to the existing provisions under the TCCC, and further analysis.
Key Points of the Act
With the belief to adjust the law to keep up with the continuously evolving business regime, the Act has proposed to amend the following legal restrictions under the TCCC.
Prohibition to Debt-to-Equity Conversion
In Thailand, only public limited companies are allowed to execute debt to equity conversion in accordance with rules and conditions under the relating Ministerial Regulation. From many past cases, the debt-to-equity conversion has profoundly benefited many public companies to restructure their indebtedness during their crisis. On the contrary, according to Section 1119 of the TCCC, the price of shares can only be paid by either cash, asset, or labor, and shareholders cannot avail themselves to set off any debt against the share payment. With an analyzed interpretation, the conversion of debt to shares is therefore prohibited for a limited company. Being restricted by this provision, many limited companies have sought a solution by increasing capital and provide the money from the payment of newly-issued shares to their creditors instead of transferring the newly-issued shares directly to them.
With this impracticality, the Act proposes more flexibility for business operation by abolishing this strict provision and allowing the execution of the debt-to-equity conversion transaction, which shall be conductible under two requirements: (i) the plan shall be approved by a special resolution of the shareholders' meeting, and (ii) details of the transaction shall be subjected to conditions stipulated under the Ministerial Regulations to be further enacted.
Prohibition to Amend Rights under Preference Shares
As Section 1142 of the TCCC strictly prohibits amendments to rights under preference shares of a limited company, it is criticized as an unnecessary hindrance to the business operation that is highly considered as internal matters of the company. From the Office of the Council of State's interpretation, the prohibition in this regard extends to the conversion of preference shares to ordinary shares. In practice, a limited company that wishes to amend this particular right has to decrease its capital and then issue new shares according to the right amendment they planned.
Concerning this complication, the drafted Act suggests that the amendment of rights of preference shares should now be permissible by a special resolution of the shareholders' meeting with not less than three-fourths of the votes from (i) holders of ordinary shares and holders of preference shares whose rights will not be changed by the agenda and (ii) holders of preference shares whose rights will be changed by the agenda. Further, for the conversion of preference shares to ordinary shares, the Act specifies that this transaction shall only be conductible if such conversion is permitted under the Articles of Association of the company.
This amendment of the TCCC will reduce unnecessary legal imposition and create a more inducing environment for investors.
Prohibition for a Limited Company to Hold its Shares
If the vision of the company's management and that of the shareholders no longer harmonize, shareholders in public limited companies can dispose of their shares to the public or the company can alternatively purchase shares back from dissenting shareholders. In other events, this repurchase of shares also enables the company to manage its liquidity or cope with an economic downturn in the stock market. In contrast, shareholders in limited companies cannot sell their shares to the public, and it may not be sufficiently convenient to dispose of their shares. Considering this further, the prohibitions for a limited company to hold its own shares under Section 1143 of the TCCC is essentially problematic for dissenting shareholders who would like to get out of the deal. To tackle this issue, the Act allows the company to purchase the shares back from dissenting shareholders. Under which, shares held by the company shall not be counted for the resolution of shareholders' meeting, nor shall they be entitled to receive any dividend. The Act also obliges the company to dispose of those shares within a limited time or under the method prescribed by the Ministerial Regulation to be later enacted.
Hierarchy Distribution of the Newly Issued Shares
Section 1122 of the TCCC strictly provides that the newly issued shares shall be initially offered to the existing shareholders of the company. This rigidity disables the promotion of a Vesting Plan, an Employee Stock Option Plan ("ESOP"), and a debt-to-equity conversion plan. Considering this outdated and impractical restriction, the Act proposes the amendment to allow companies to offer shares to employees, directors, and creditors under a debt-to-equity conversion plan to provide equity interests for the company's employees to be compatible with the introduction of the debt conversion plan.
From the Act, one could observe that many amendments concern the enhancement of flexibility in business operations and the emphasis on the impracticality of the existing laws in the TCCC to the extent of rights entitled to public limited companies under the Public Limited Company Act. This current draft of the Act tremendously impacts the business practices of limited companies of all sizes. Some proposals, such as the amendment to rights under the preference shares, are approved without much debating of opinions. Notwithstanding that, the abolishment of certain traditional provisions may be too appalling for those legislators and regulators to accept as some provisions offer protection against bankruptcy of limited companies to third parties, such as the prohibition to set-off the debt against the share payment under the TCCC. With the reduction of such protection, it is highly skeptical whether the Act will introduce adverse impacts rather than contribute the greater good. Altogether, these might potentially serve as factors to drag out the progress, where legislative bodies will finally give the green light to the proposed draft.
Ultimately, this draft of the Act is certainly not the final one, and it might have to undergo a lot of further adjustments and revisions from the Office of the Council of State. Regardless of such cause, the integral intent of this drafted piece of legislation promises us less legal restrictions and more alternatives to efficiently manage limited companies, enhanced allure for more investments and gives a positive prospect to the future of small enterprises. As of now, we must monitor this essential legal change, for it may introduce us to further developments in Thailand's corporate regulatory regime.

I had a phone call with one of the aunts of Dannys warriors. She is… they are… amazing and I think they are poised to do good things in the fight against pediatric cancer. . I heard in her a joy.. a hope.. that we lost 5 months ago. A piece of me that I miss. The part that believes in miracles. I remember it though and I will hope that they find their way to that miracle.
We talked about how it was for each of our families .. 9 months 4 days ago for them and 9 months for us..
9 months from the very last birthday that we will ever get to celebrate her turning a year older. 9 months since we learned of DIPG. . and that some childhood cancers offer no hope. 0% survival.
9 months. The average amount of time a child with DIPG gets to spend on this earth.. we were cheated out of 6 of those months. I often wonder how much we would have gotten done.. how much of a lifetime we could have packed into those lost months that we "should" have had with her.
Could always be worse though.. I know some can look at the time we had with a longing.. Maddie's Mark only got 5 days from their DIPG diagnosis.. I try to remind myself to be thankful for the time we did have.. Tonight though I am stuck on replay.. of all that could have been but wasn't..
Hawaii.. and more Disney trips… baseball games ..
And dinners. 166 dinners we should have shared with her. Its those simple things I miss the most. Playing in the back yard. Openingher string cheese only the yellow white mixed one and making sure not to fully take it out of the wrapper. oh how I miss you… not a moment goes past that i don't think of you.. oh baby.. i miss you..
It's not even the weddings and the high school graduations I am helplessly longing for.. its the"average" both in time and memories that is sticking it to me tonight.
It's watching her set up a perfect little spot to watch a tv show. .
Its begin at the garlic festival with her. watching her lead the gang of kids in playing in the dirt.. pure joy on all their faces.. and of course a little face paint!
We went on Sunday. It was blisteringly hot. It had rained a bit earlier in the morning on the other side of town. But not at our house.. only a few minutes away. Until we started walking to the festival.
Then it rained. Just a bit on us.
Later I saw in my FB feed so many people that have been going to this festival their whole lives.. that they have never experienced rain..
What were you trying to tell us baby girl?
That its ok to feel the sun through the rain?
To remember to walk through the hard times to get somewhere brighter?
… that you were there?..
oh I think that might be it because I feel such a pain in my chest.. such a ache for you.. and my tears won't slow down.
Did you just want to say its ok…to me and Daddy and Jonathan?? We were all struggling so much and missing you… I pulled Daddy into the hallway right before we left.. right outside your bedroom, that's frozen in time, and I hugged into him.. crying that I didn't want to go. That I felt like I was betraying you..
Did you send the rain to remind me..that we have never been average?
I just want my daughter back… I want my family whole again.
I just want to be average.

Provinces develop waste master plans
ngoc Environment 850 Views
HA NOI— As many as 45 of the nation's 63 cities and provinces have come up with their own master plans to manage solid waste, said a senior official at a workshop held in Ha Noi yesterday.
n rural areas, according to the Construction Ministry's report, the situation was worse with only 40 per cent of solid waste being collected and treated.
In urban areas, about 31,500 tonnes of waste, equivalent to 84 per cent of the total waste produced, were collected and treated each day, said head of the Construction Ministry's Technical Infrastructure Department Nguyen Hong Tien.
In HCM City alone, 50 per cent of solid waste is collected by private firms or cooperatives.
In rural areas, according to the Construction Ministry's report, the situation was worse with only 40 per cent of solid waste being collected and treated.
The report also showed that only 120 out of nearly 460 landfill sites were meeting hygiene standards, resulting in many areas suffering from air and water pollution.
Participants suggested the adoption of technology tailored to each project's scale and region, and incentives for stakeholders.
According to Deputy Construction Minister Phan Thi My Linh, the ministry has issued documents instructing the implementation of a decree on solid waste management.
Hideki Wada from the Japan International Cooperation Agency said Japan would assist Viet Nam in dealing with solid waste management.
It would suggest viable suggestions after visiting landfill sites across the country, he said, adding that Viet Nam needed to encourage public involvement in the work.
The Construction Ministry said it would also carry out a project to improve the skills of officials in solid waste management in co-operation with the Japan International Cooperation Agency towards the end of the year. The project is expected to be carried out in Ha Noi and the central province of Thua Thien – Hue.
The ministry added that it would inspect 26 operational factories of solid waste treatment by the end of this year.

Driving up the road from Biasca to Lucomagno, vistas of woods and fields unfold before your eyes. Near the pass there are several alpeggi in activity during the summer. The alpeggiatore can still find plenty of open land for his animals to graze on.
It forms part of the Sentiero Alto of the Valle di Blenio, which goes from Acquarossa to Acquacalda. Start walking briskly on the road from Camperio: after a while this road gives way to a path and after about an hour you'll get to Monte d'Alpi di Gorda with an incredible 360 degree view. It takes another hour to get to Sorda and Piandios- with its alpeggio, and newly restored ski club-house where you can sample all the products of the alpeggio. The path then carries on to Alpe Pian Laghetto from where you get to Leontica. A bus takes you back to Camperio.
You could try doing the whole itinerary the other way round, starting from Leontica.
The hut Gorda, located at 1800 s / m.

Understanding Tourette's Syndrome
Tourette's syndrome is characterized by 'tics' – involuntary, repetitive movements and vocal sounds.
Tourette's syndrome overview
Tourette's syndrome – named after the doctor who first described the condition – is a disorder that starts during childhood.1 People with the disorder suffer from tics, which can range from blinking and sniffing to obscene gestures and swearing.1 Tics tend to get worse when the person is anxious or excited, and to improve when they are calm, or focused on an activity such as schoolwork.1 Tics can have a major impact on a person's quality of life, and can cause problems at school. 2-4
Facts about Tourette's syndrome
Tourette's syndrome is a childhood-onset disorder that is characterized by persistent 'tics' – sudden, rapid, recurring movements and vocal sounds.1
Tics usually emerge between 4 and 6 years of age.1
Symptoms of Tourette's syndrome
A seizure is classified as either 'generalized' or 'focal', depending on whether it affects the whole brain or just a part of the brain.5,6 The following symptoms can occur during a seizure:5,6
Motor symptoms – rhythmical jerking movements ('clonic'); muscles becoming weak or limp ('atonic'); muscles becoming tense or rigid ('tonic'); brief muscle twitching ('myoclonus'); or the body flexing and extending repeatedly ('epileptic spasms').
Non-motor symptoms – staring spells ('absence'); changes in sensation, emotions, thinking or cognition; stomach/bowel sensations, waves of heat or cold, goosebumps, heart racing, etc. ('autonomic functions'); or lack of movement ('behavior arrest').
Worldwide, up to 1% of children
have Tourette's syndrome.2
2–4 times more common
in boys than in girls.1
Epidemiology and burden
Tics typically emerge between 4 and 6 years of age, are most severe between 10 and 12 years of age, and become less severe during adolescence.1,6
Tics can cause embarrassment, low self-esteem, and can lead to social isolation.2 More rarely, severe tics can result in conflict with others, and even pain and injury (e.g., from hitting oneself in the face).1,2 In addition to tics, people with Tourette's syndrome may be unusually sensitive to touch (e.g., to clothing tags or tight socks), have behavioral problems, and suffer from disrupted sleep, which can have a major impact on their quality of life.3
The majority of people with Tourette's syndrome (86%) also have a psychiatric disorder, most commonly attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD) or obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD).7 Often, the psychiatric disorder is more problematic for the person than the tics.8
Children with Tourette's syndrome, particularly those with severe symptoms and those with co-occurring disorders, are likely to have problems at school, and to need educational help.4
Typically, tics are most severe between 10 and 12 years of age, and become less severe during adolescence.1,3
Tics can range from blinking and sniffing to obscene gestures and swearing.1
People who are concerned that their children are experiencing symptoms of Tourette's syndrome should see their doctor for help and advice.
Diagnosis and care
People who are concerned that their children are experiencing symptoms of Tourette's syndrome should see their doctor for help and advice. Tourette's syndrome is diagnosed following discussions about the child's developmental history and a clinical examination.
Tics can be difficult to recognize, and may be mistaken for other disorders (such as movement disorders, or the repetitive behaviors that are associated with OCD), which can complicate the diagnosis.1
Tic severity usually improves in adolescence, regardless of treatment, and doctors may try 'watchful waiting' to see if tics improve by themselves.6,9,10 For children with mild and non-disabling tics, treatment should involve education, counseling, and strengthening of self-confidence.2 Treatment of more disabling tics may involve behavioral therapies and medication.2,10
