When I started paddling in 2007, I was both new to the Columbia area and to Kayaking. So, for that first year, I paddled alone or with a family member the entire year just about every weekend. I learned a lot about the Columbia area and rivers in general. As I entered the winter of 2007/2008 and kayaked less, I became involved with a few outdoors groups and met some more people who shared my interests in the outdoors. As March came around, I organized what would become my "Spring Kickoff Paddle" as an opportunity to encourage my paddling friends to get on the water after winter. While I did not organize one in 2015/2016(was too busy keeping up with a New baby to commit) I look very positive on the event as it was what kick-started my interest in leading kayak trips at all levels and I have seen it encourage many people to take their first steps into kayaking!
Now on to the 2017 event! The weatherman gave us temp in the mid 60's with sunny blue skies. There was a light wind with a few gusts here and there. We had 16 paddlers (15 boats) all meet up at Riverfront park to drop boats and gear. My amazing supportive wife and son helped get everyone signed up and with shuttling boats and gear down to Rosewood. We got all the boats down to the put in just below the diversion dam. After a brief safety talk, everyone launched their boats into the water. Myself and Ian Randolph were on point (Instructions being follow whichever one of us is up front since, one of us will be eddying out for safety at certain points) and John Derrick on sweep. We also had several other experienced long time paddlers Jim, Marie, and Mike Hollis stepping in when needed to provide help. Right after the put in is probably the most difficult/most technical rapid of the entire run. The route generally for a move from the initial eddy, back toward the center of the river over the first small drop and then back toward the right toward the next drop in the center of the river. In the 6 previous times, I have hosted this trip, this has been one of the most troublesome spots for beginners. This year was no exception. I eddied out after the first drop and Ian led the group down through the second drop. One canoe did not get far enough over and caught a rock sideways at the top drop causing an out of boat experience. At the second drop, we had another swim. Gear was collected quickly after both swims and after warming up, both paddlers were eager to get back in their boats and paddle on!
The next mile we continued and enjoyed the sunshine at a relaxed pace. Once we reached I-126, Ian eddied out after the first drop and I continued guiding the group down to the next large eddy in between the bridges. We had one paddler on a Sit on top flip and the group quickly performed an in current open water rescue and got the boater back in the boat. All boaters successfully navigated the remaining shoals and reached the confluence.
At the confluence, Eagle eye-d paddlers were treated with a view of one of the Bald Eagles who populate the nest in the center of the river. Although, it was not a clear view and at a distance. After a couple. We navigated the rest of the shoals with a couple of minor incidents and reached Gervais street. After reaching Gervais, we paddled the remaining stretch without incident reminiscing about some of the moonlight paddles we had done on that section in the dark and how we need to schedule some more of those this Summer. At the railroad bridge, we jokingly attempted to persuade a few guys standing on the bridge to do a backflip off the bridge down to the water. They were nowhere near drunk enough to even consider the request though.
All in all, everyone appeared to have a great time, and I had a blast hosting. Looking forward to the next one!

Anyone who works for three months in an EU country is entitled to receive child benefit for their children - regardless of where they live. In Germany the number of foreigners receiving child benefit has reached record levels, triggering political protest against "social migration" from Eastern Europe. Are payments for children outside the country unjust?

Scheurwater gives back with fellow umps
Canadian and his crew visit children's hospital in Toronto
By Alexis Brudnicki @baseballexis
TORONTO -- It's not every day that Stu Scheurwater gets a chance to feel at home. As the only Canadian umpire in the Major Leagues, and first full-time big league umpire from north of the border since Jim McKean retired in 2001, Scheurwater's schedule sees him spend most of his
TORONTO -- It's not every day that Stu Scheurwater gets a chance to feel at home.
As the only Canadian umpire in the Major Leagues, and first full-time big league umpire from north of the border since Jim McKean retired in 2001, Scheurwater's schedule sees him spend most of his time in the United States, traveling to a different city every three or four days.
But on Wednesday morning, in his home country to umpire the four-game Red Sox series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, Scheurwater and the rest of his crew -- including Alan Porter, Roberto Ortiz and crew chief Mark Wegner -- made a visit to SickKids, Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, giving the native of Regina, Saskatchewan, a little glimpse of home.
"This is the first time I've worked in Toronto in a couple years," Scheurwater said. "And to be given the opportunity to do a hospital visit, it's a very rewarding thing. Going in there and putting a smile on a kid's face is an incredible feeling. To do it in Canada is very special for me.
"I actually met a young child today who's from Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan. I got to talk to the child and the mother, said hello to them, and talked a little about Saskatchewan, where I'm from, and it was really neat to have that connection."
And that wasn't even the highlight for Scheurwater and the crew.
"The best part about it is that they got good news, and they're going back to Saskatchewan tomorrow," he said. "It was really cool to hear that, it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it, to hear they're going home after spending 3 1/2 months there, it's such a great thing."
Wednesday's visit was part of the UMPS CARE Charities Blue for Kids program. The crew offered words of encouragement and Build-A-Bear stuffed animals to children. Each youngster was able to choose from a variety of pre-stuffed animals as well as clothing outfits for their new furry friend, including bear-sized Blue Jays uniforms.
"We pick up an animal for them, and then we pick out an outfit for the bear together," Scheurwater said. "We dress them up in superhero outfits or little tutus, there are tons of outfits you can build with. It's a really cool thing to sit down at a table and help these kids and put a smile on their faces. It's a very rewarding feeling."
The event was made possible by UMPS CARE Charities, a nonprofit organization founded by MLB umpires to enrich the lives of at-risk youth and children coping with serious illness. This was the 152nd hospital visit that MLB umpires have participated in since the program began in 2006, and the second of 17 scheduled visits during this season.
"It breaks up the everyday life of being on the road," Scheurwater said. "To step into a hospital and give back -- I don't have any children, but I can imagine what some of these parents are going through -- and to see smiles on the parents' faces and have the interaction with them while they're going through this with their children, it's incredible.
"To take a couple hours out of our day is nothing compared to what these guys are going through. It's something I'm glad we do as an organization, to get out and go to these communities and the children's hospitals."

Five Best Used Cars for Single Parents
They help with the kids and they're good for alone time
ATVs & Off Road
Keith Griffin
Keith Griffin is a member of the New England Motor Press Association and has been an automotive journalist and new car reviewer for more than a decade.
Single parents are in a unique place when it comes to shopping for used cars: They want cars that serve their needs as parents and as single people. There are used cars that will meet their needs, and they are affordable, fun to drive, and can seat a couple of children in the back with little fuss or muss.
These suggestions should be helpful for single parents whether they do or don't have custody of the children. They concern particular makes and models instead of cost. All cars on this list have received good marks from Consumer Reports.
The fuel economy numbers are based on 2009 models from fueleconomy.gov if the used cars were still in production. Otherwise, the numbers come from the last year of production.

The Honda Fit could be the poster child for used cars for single parents. It's a master of adaptability with plenty of room and a seating configuration that lets you carry a 3-year-old and a tall plant.
The Honda Fit is great for a single parent with two kids because:
It has amazing cargo capacity and seats four adults comfortably.
It's highly fuel-efficient at 27 mpg city and 33 mpg highway.
It's not powerful but is fun to drive, especially with the five-speed manual transmission.
It's not a looker but it's the right size for children. They won't find it overwhelming.
Consumer Reports has given the Honda Fit its highest ratings from 2007 on.
Tormino/Getty Images
Nothing says practical like a Camry, which is what makes it so appealing as a used car for a single parent.
The Toyota Camry is great for a single parent with two kids because:
It's available in a four-cylinder model, which is more than enough power for hauling you and the kids.
It's fairly fuel efficient at 21 mpg city and 31 mpg highway.
It offers a lot of trunk space for tucking away all you need to carry when the kids come to visit.
The bland styling is not going to turn off a date like some souped-up models might.
Consumer Reports gives the Toyota Camry good ratings from 2001 on.

The Nissan Altima is one of the most underappreciated used cars, which makes it perfect for single parents in search of a used car.
Ever wonder why you see so many used Nissan Altimas on the road? It's because they are very functional.
The Nissan Altima is great for a single parent with two kids because:
It's available in a four-cylinder model that produces good horsepower and will never let you down performance-wise.
It's fuel efficient at 23 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. Anything approaching 25 mpg city is great in a big sedan.
It offers a lot of trunk space with a wide opening for packing away what you need when the kids come to visit.
The styling hasn't changed much since 2002, so you can buy an older model and not look dated.
Consumer Reports gives the Nissan Altima good ratings from 2002 on. The only year you might want to steer clear of is 2005, where there appear to be problems with the electrical and fuel systems.
Getty Images / Handout
Between the classic Ford Taurus and the new Ford Taurus is this oddly named sedan, the Ford Five Hundred. Single parents in cold weather climes will want to pick up the used model with all-wheel drive.
The Ford Five Hundred is largely ignored by the buying public who got hung up on its name and perceived lack of power. There's no problem with performance at 203 horsepower.
The Ford Five Hundred is great for a single parent with two kids because:
It has a huge trunk. When it was introduced, Ford said it could hold up to eight sets of golf clubs. Kids travel with lots of stuff, but not eight sets of golf clubs' worth—at least one would hope not.
It's not very fuel efficient around town at 19 mpg city, because it comes only in a V-6 version, but it's respectable at 26 mpg on the highway.
This is an amazingly comfortable car to drive. Some call it underpowered, but it has the oomph to move a family of four down the road.
The styling is bland but not offensive. It's so anonymous that it has proved popular with police supervisors keen on blending in.
Consumer Reports gives the Ford Five Hundred good ratings for 2005 to 2007, the years it was produced. It's a CR recommended used car.
Acura TL SH-AWD

Single parents don't always have to deny themselves life's simpler pleasures, and the Acura TL is one of those. Performance is spot-on, handling is great, and there's no shortage of space for kids and their goods.
One concern that some single parents might have about the Acura TL is its design. It may not age well, and then you're left with a vehicle that could look dated.
The Acura TL SH-AWD is still great for a single parent with two kids because:
Its name indicates a strong attribute: "SH-AWD" stands for "super handling, all-wheel drive." You won't find much better handling sedans outside the performance lineup.
It's not particularly fuel-efficient around town at 17 mpg city because of the all-wheel drive. The 25-mpg highway number doesn't hurt as much from a 3.7-liter V-6 engine.
This car is fun to drive. Nothing says a single parent can't smile once in a while, with or without the kids in tow.
This is a beautiful car inside with a great sound system suitable for playing "The Wiggles" in absolute clarity.
Consumer Reports has recommended the Acura TL since 2001 with high marks as a dependable, fun sedan to drive.

I've often said, that I love technology as long as it works. At my job, I spend most of my time in some sort of software program. I use the software for the catalog. I make purchases on Amazon, and search academic databases as well as Google.
Then I get home and practically live in Microsoft Word when I'm writing a devotion or story. Word has these wonderful tools that help me write with more accuracy and less mistakes. That is, as long as I use the tools properly. I can use "find and replace" to search for a word or phrase and replace it with another word or phrase. That sounds nice and easy, until I accidentally ask it to replace every occurrence of the main characters name, Willow, with the word "She". Yes, I did that. I replaced Willow's name with "She" throughout the entire 200+ page novel. And I hit save instead of reverse.
You guessed it. I had to go through the entire document and find every place that should say Willow instead of "She". I think the funniest one I found was her niece calling to her "Aunt She, Aunt She!".
Instead of getting grumpy and frustrated, I took my mistake in stride and saw it as one more way to reread and revise my book. I'll know soon enough if I found them all. I just finished editing chapter seven for hopefully the last time. Just 19 or 20 more chapters to go.
That seems like an eternal job, but for someone over fifty who's lived to tell about it, it's just a drop in the bucket.
What crazy computer mistakes have you made?
Penny, well just this weekend I was posting about my blog guest and posted the wrong title for her book. I used the title of my last week's guest! Don't know if over 50 is the cause or not.

For Harraq and his flawed Muslim logic!
So what is your problem that Jesus is addressing the godhead: " My God, My God why did you left me behind (went ahead of me)?
So why is your allah asking you for your help he is also asking you to do his dirty work why is that Harraq I mean Harrak! And I thought that your Allah was omnipotent. It seems that he is not. At least Jesus is asking God and not mere human beings for help.
And why do you live in the West and why don't you go back to Pakiland? And do you know why you would not go back? Because pakiland is a big Islamic mess!


In this article we are going to talk about how to control the loan granted by Peer-to-peer lending, what structure of control have a priori and a posteriori Crowdlendin g companies, and finally, we will talk about what happens in case of default and why reasons usually occur.
In the beginning, who should control to which the loan granted through Peer-to-peer lending is intended should be the Peer-to-peer lending company itself because the investors, as they are many and small, can not devote themselves to checking anything, neither a priori nor a posteriori, since they they trust the analysis made by the Peer-to-peer lending platform; The main danger is in the final destination of the loan obtained through Peer-to-peer lending, because that, although it is stated otherwise, can not be controlled by anyone, not even the Peer-to-peer lending company and this is because it is very difficult to monitor what the destination is Real end of funds obtained.
All the studies are always done a priori, that is, the solvency of the company is studied, the destination of the loan money is adequate, it is verified that there are actually proforma invoices or budgets that indicate that this will be the destination of the loan, its reimbursement capacity, its annual accounts, its judicial incidences and even its administrators and main shareholders are checked and, if everything is correct, the Ok is given and the financing request is published on the Peer-to-peer lending company platform, then the necessary funds are collected to grant the loan through the investors interested in investing in that project and, immediately afterwards, the loan contract is signed online by all the parties, the money is delivered to the borrower and the end of the matter, it only remains to collect the installments in time and form and to enter them into the investors for the duration of the repayment term of the loan.
Then if the borrower does nothing of what he said he was going to do, nothing happens and this is because this is very difficult to check and control, because you can not put a detective to each borrower, however, to Subsequently, some platforms usually do research through questionnaires or information requirements and similar acts, but the borrower sometimes does not even bother to answer and when they do, they do so unwillingly and not always answering everything that the Peer-to-peer lending companies request.. However, despite what has been said, we can affirm that the majority of applicants for funding through Peer-to-peer lending do tend to allocate the money obtained to what they have said they were going to allocate and very few do a bit of "cheating" about.
What control structure do Peer-to-peer lending companies and banks have a priori and a posteriori?
The control structures that Peer-to-peer lending companies and banks have a priori are very good. Peer-to-peer lending platforms have authentic risk departments run by real professionals who have nothing to envy those of the banks, since they draw on the same sources and use the same databases of non-performing ASNEF or RAI registry data, both also consult to the CIRBE of the Bank of Spain to know the degree of indebtedness of the applicant of financing and also look in the Commercial Registry to know what are the results of their annual accounts of recent years and if these have been published perfectly in time and form, also analyze the managers of the companies to know if they are honorable and are not involved in any cause of incompatibility that prevents them from being able to exercise the position and sign the loan contract; Therefore, all this a priori study is done very well by both Peer-to-peer lending companies and banks, the problem is that, even so, the 100% certainty that everything has been done well can never be done.
And this is why more and better controls should be established a posteriori, more checks that are not limited only to request documentation or invoices that confirm that the money has been allocated to what was said to be allocated in the application for financing through Peer-to-peer lending. It would also be good to have a department of inspectors on the platforms that would go to the companies and check on the spot that the money has actually been invested in what was said to be invested, that is, to check "in situ" that the facilities have been expanded, that the machinery has actually been purchased or that it has really invested in doing a whole new process to be able to export its goods abroad, just as it was said that it was going to be done and if this was verified It has not been like that and it has been lied, because it would be good if the Peer-to-peer lending companies could create a database of companies that have lied about it and that have allocated the loan money to something else that was not for which they requested it.; but I doubt that this can ever be done, since that would mean employing many economic resources in the hiring of inspectors and also because that would clash head-on with Law 15/1999 on the Protection of Personal Data when it comes to drawing up a database of data with such personal information.
In case of loan default Why is it produced?
There are several possibilities that can produce a loan default. One possibility may be because the project was too risky and the company has not been able or has not been able to correctly assess the risks, another reason may be because they have not provided all the necessary information and there has been an asymmetry in the information that has harmed the the Peer-to-peer lending platform and that occurs due to economic concepts already explained in previous articles, such as the Adverse Selection or the Moral Risk that always exists in all the operations of loan contracts and the like.
Another possibility for the non-payment of a loan is because afterwards the borrower has not been properly controlled and this feeling of not being watched by anyone has invited him to feel totally free to act as he pleases, which has could result in the borrower feeling that he can change the final destination of the loan money on his own and risk more than the account and that this results in failure and that, in the end, he can not repay the loan in a timely manner.
Other causes of non-payment of the loans are due to personal circumstances of the partners of an SME (a divorce, a separation of partners, a death) or for unforeseen causes such as financial or economic crisis that may occur, which can produce a depression of the demand and this, in turn, a drop in income that prevents borrowers from being able to repay loans.
There are many more possibilities that can cause borrowers to stop paying their loans, such as accidents at their facilities or theft or embezzlement of their leaders who were not insured and who have depleted their treasury, their stock or prevented them from can produce and sell their products, in short, it can be concluded that there are many possible causes for which you can fall into default on a loan and not all are measurable a priori.

People who travel are willing to spend money as long as they are going to a place that is truly special. People do not want to go to places where they will not discover anything new or would not see something different from what they see back home. There are many reasons why people travel and all of them, no matter what their reasons are, would simply want a good place to be in during their vacation. It is important to remember that when traveling, the place is supremely important. Nobody wants to spend time, energy and money to go to a place that they want to go to. It is therefore important that people know and understand the place. The place itself must be desired by them in order to be inviting and worth the travel. The place must be special and in terms of being special, no place is quite the same as Greece.
Greece is a very special country with a lot of history. Greece has experienced so many things in their lifetime and the island that probably experienced the most is Crete. Crete is known as the cradle of civilization having been the first settlement of the Minoan civilization. This puts them way ahead of other countries and other regions in terms of establishing a civilized society. It is therefore a good place to go to for a fun and learning vacation. One thing that one should remember when going to Crete is that they should get a room in a beautiful Crete hotel.
Getting a good Crete hotel will only help you experience Crete better. Crete is a very historic island and there are a lot of things that a person can learn in Crete. It is important to find good Crete hotels because one would surely be tired at the end of the day with the vast beauty that can be seen in Crete and the vast knowledge and information that a person can find out about when they go to Crete.
It is actually quite easy to find good Crete hotels. The internet is filled with numerous web pages promoting different Crete hotels and some of them would even tell you the cost and what exactly the accommodations include. It is easy to scan among the many sites and even pinpoint where in the island you would want to stay so that one can choose the more accessible hotel for their choice. Crete hotels are varied. Some of them look ordinary while some are very much luxurious as reflective of the great Minoan civilization that once inhabited the beautiful island. It is important to remember that you go to Crete for the history and the surroundings and not the hotel itself. You would be spending your time outdoors and not inside your hotel rooms so one should be wise in choosing which one they should choose. Crete is a special place. A hotel room would only allow it to be special but not add to its importance. To browse the available accommodations, go to Crete hotels guide.


Hall Place and Gardens is an eye-catching and striking Tudor house with an award winning 65 hectares of beautiful gardens along with lots of history in Bexley, Kent. A Grade I listed building it was originally built in 1537 for the former Lord Mayor of London, Sir John Champneys. The design and construction of the house, much of which still stands today, displays Tudor splendour with the grand Great Hall, Parlour and Chambers. The outside architecture is of the distinctive checker board pattern that Tudor times displayed so well.
In 1649 Hall Place sold to Robert Austen who added more spectacular beauty to the building. You can still see the plastered ceiling within the Great Chamber which was added in 1650. The Dashwoods hen became owners of Hall Place in the 18th Century and then for much of the 19th and 20th century it has been rented to a number of tenants. During the 2nd world war the US Army Signal Corps took residence within Hall Place to operate the interception station which was code named Santa Fe". This was set up to intercept the Morse signals of the German Air Force and Luflwaffe.
The Great Hall is one of two rooms that can host your civil service wedding ceremony with private access to the courtyard for your drinks reception. The Great Hall makes a wonderful setting for your wedding comfortably hosting up to 100 guests for your wedding breakfast. With secluded beautiful gardens and topiary lawns to capture wonderful photography on your special day, you are sure to have some amazing memories of your special day.


Keep your property uncluttered, sweet-smelling and well-lit from top-to-bottom. Pay attention to details: put away the kitty litter, place a vase of fresh flowers near the entryway, pop a batch of cinnamon rolls in the oven, have your carpets cleaned. We would scan the property before it is listed for sale to see how you can improve the staging of your property.
We are very familiar with the disclosure requirements in a real estate transaction and would have a frank discussion with you on this subject. We would also suggest home improvement measures before placing your property on the market.
Presenting your property to potential buyers is a job that we will take care of for you. Buyers feel more comfortable discussing the property with the REALTOR®, if you are not there.

New Zealand Patents Amendment Bill becomes law
17th November 2016 Written by & Mark Roberts
The Patents (Trans-Tasman Patent Attorneys and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2015 was passed into law by the New Zealand Parliament on 16 November 2016.
The original Bill had been substantially amended following feedback from a range of stakeholders and a review by the New Zealand Parliament's Commerce Select Committee; a summary of which can be found here.
Key changes introduced
The key changes to be introduced by the new legislation include:
Removal of lack of unity as a ground to oppose a patent being granted. This change is intended to apply retrospectively to all patents and applications which are subject to the provisions of the Patents Act 2013.
Establishment of a single trans-Tasman patent attorney regime and register.
Single economic market (SEM) patent initiatives shelved
Previous proposals to introduce a single patent application process (SAP) and single patent examination process (SEP) to streamline work-sharing between the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ) and IP Australia were removed from the Bill prior to the final reading. Specifically, the New Zealand Commerce Select Committee considered that the SAP and SEP were unlikely to provide significant benefits to New Zealand in particular or to patent applicants or users of the system more generally.
IP Australia was originally working toward the establishment of a single economic market (SEM) patent system based on early indications of real benefits for applicants and each of the Australian and New Zealand Patent Offices. However, IP Australia have since issued a statement indicating they respect the New Zealand Government's decision and work on the SAP and SEP initiatives has now ceased. It is unlikely that this initiative will be revisited in the near future.

Primary care challenges of an obscure case of "Alice in Wonderland" syndrome in a patient with severe malaria in a resource-constrained setting: a case report

"Alice in Wonderland" syndrome (AIWS) is a rare neurological abnormality characterized by distortions of visual perceptions, body schema and experience of time. AIWS has been reported in patients with various infections such as infectious mononucleosis, H1N1 influenza, Cytomegalovirus encephalitis, and typhoid encephalopathy. However, AIWS occurring in a patient with severe malaria is less familiar and could pose serious primary care challenges in a low-income context.
A 9-year-old male of black African ethnicity was brought by his parents to our primary care hospital because for 2 days he had been experiencing intermittent sudden perceptions of his parents' heads and objects around him either "shrinking" or "expanding". The visual perceptions were usually brief and resolved spontaneously. One week prior to the onset of the visual problem, he had developed an intermittent high grade fever that was associated with other severe constitutional symptoms. Based on the historical and clinical data that were acquired, severe malaria was suspected and this was confirmed by hyperparasitaemia on blood film analysis. The patient was treated with quinine for 10 days. Apart from a single episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizures that was observed on the first day of treatment, the overall clinical progress was good. The visual illusions completely resolved and no further abnormalities were recorded during 3 months of follow-up.
Symptoms of AIWS usually resolve spontaneously or after treatment of an underlying cause. In our case, the successful treatment of severe malaria coincided with a complete regression of AIWS whose aetiology was poorly-elucidated given the resource constraints. In any case, the good outcome of our patient aligns with previous reports on acute AIWS that highlight a limited need for excessive investigation and treatment modalities which are, in passing, predominantly unaffordable in resource-limited primary care settings.
"Alice in Wonderland" syndrome-severe malaria-quinine-case report
"Alice in Wonderland" syndrome (AIWS) is a rare and complex neurological disorder characterized by distortions of visual perceptions, body schema and experience of time [1–4]. The disorder has been reported in patients with various infections such as Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis, H1N1 influenza, Cytomegalovirus infection, Coxsackie B1 virus encephalitis, Varicella-Zoster encephalitis, typhoid encephalopathy and scarlet fever [1, 5].
Severe malaria may be a life threatening condition and it is frequently encountered in developing countries [6, 7]. It is primarily linked with Plasmodium falciparium malaria. Previous reports suggest that severe malaria could have atypical presentations and could even mimic pathologies such as psychosis and rabies [8]. These atypical manifestations of the disease could lead to diagnostic delay and increase morbidity and mortality. Here, we report an unusual case of symptoms of AIWS in a child with severe malaria and we highlight the associated primary care challenges in a resource-limited context.
A 9-year-old male of black African ethnicity was brought by his parents to our primary care hospital because for 2 days he had been experiencing intermittent sudden perceptions of his parents' heads either "shrinking" or "expanding" although he could still recognize their faces. He also had the same perception of objects around him. The visual perceptions were usually brief, resolved spontaneously and did not involve confusion in colours or individuals. For fear of a magico-religious origin of the illness, his parents took him to a traditional healer where he was given various herbal concoctions to drink for 2 days but there was no regression of the symptoms.
It is worth mentioning that 1 week prior to the onset of the visual symptoms the boy had developed an intermittent high grade fever which persisted in spite of the oral antimalarial (arthemeter and lumefantrin combination) and antipyretic medications (paracetamol and ibuprofen) which his parents gave to him at home. The fever was associated with general weakness, loss of appetite and severe polyarthralgia.
The review of systems revealed severe headache and postprandial vomiting. The child did not have abnormal auditory or tactile perceptions. This was his first time of having visual problems. He was diagnosed with and treated for severe malaria at the ages of 2 and 6 but visual disturbances were not reported on these occasions. His past history was otherwise without particularity.
On admission, the boy still experienced the visual distortions. Clinical examination revealed an extremely lethargic patient with pale conjunctivae and icteric sclerae. His Glasgow coma score was 15/15 and he was oriented in person, place and time. His vital signs were: blood pressure: 70/50 mmHg, pulse: 117beats/min, respiratory rate: 29breaths/min, and temperature: 36 °C. There was mucocutaneous pallor. Neurological examination revealed generalized hypotonia but there were neither focal neurological nor meningeal signs. Head and neck examination as well as the rest of the physical examination was without notable findings as well.
Severe malaria was suspected. Typhoid encephalopathy and hepatic encephalopathy were considered as differential diagnoses. A series of laboratory tests were then requested:
To confirm the diagnosis of malaria, a thick blood film analysis was done which was remarkable for hyperparasitaemia at 277,000 trophozoites/μl (obtained from the product of the number of parasites counted per 100 white cells on the thick blood smear and the number of white cells per microliter of blood),
A full blood count revealed a haemoglobin value of 8.3 g/dl (moderate anaemia) and a platelet count of 101,000 platelets/mm3 (moderate thrombocytopenia)
The random blood sugar was 50 mg/dL (moderate hypoglycaemia)
The Widal test was used to check the possibility of typhoid and the titre was weakly positive.
Hepatitis B and C antigens were negative and liver enzymes were within normal limits
In view of prostration and hyperparasitaemia, the boy was diagnosed with severe malaria. The patient was placed on quinine 300 mg in 300 ml of glucose infusion to flow over 4 h and to be repeated 8 hourly. He was also placed on intravenous paracetamol at a dose of 450 mg 6 hourly. Two hours after the first quinine and glucose infusion, he had an episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizures that were arrested with slowly administered intravenous diazepam. Meningo-encephalitis was considered as a possible aetiology of the neurological problems. Subsequent lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid analysis were without particularity. The quinine and glucose infusions were continued for 5 days and the clinical progress was good. Oral relay of the antimalarial drug was done with Quinine tablets at a dose of 900 mg daily in three divided doses for 5 days. The patient was discharged after 8 days of hospitalization and reviewed on out-patient basis. A repeat of the thick blood film analysis 2 weeks after discharge was negative for malaria parasites. The visual symptoms which were experienced by the boy were suggestive of AIWS and they had completely resolved after the successful treatment of malaria. No further visual abnormalities were reported during 3 months of follow-up and reassurance.
Malaria is a major global health problem [9]. Severe malaria can be fatal in the absence of early recognition of its complications and/or delay in appropriate treatment. Therefore, prompt action is particularly necessary for vulnerable groups such as young children [10, 11]. We present an atypical case of severe malaria associated with symptoms of AIWS. In spite of the positive outcome, it is worth mentioning that our approach to the case was flawed by adversities which could not be surmounted in our resource-constrained primary care setting. Serological and/or virological tests to rule out known causes of AIWS such as infectious mononucleosis, coxsackie B virus and mycoplasma encephalitis were lacking. The absence of appropriate resources to perform a standard test for typhoid such as stool antigen test or blood culture compelled us to rule out typhoid encephalopathy (which was an important aetiological differential diagnosis of AIWS) with the Widal test which is still widely used in developing countries although it is considered obsolete [12]. Finally, since diagnosing and treating malaria usually takes precedence over establishing the species of malaria parasite especially in falciparium malaria endemic areas, a thin blood film analysis to verify the species of malaria parasite that may have been associated with this atypical manifestation was underestimated.
Whilst infectious diseases, especially Epstein Barr Virus infection, account for a considerable proportion of previously reported cases of AIWS [1], no previous report has described the occurrence of symptoms of AIWS in a patient with severe malaria and there is no known association between the two pathologies. AIWS was first described in 1955 by the British psychiatrist John Todd. The name refers to Lewis Carroll's renowned children's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in which Alice used to feel (among other things) that her body grew both larger and smaller [13]. AIWS is a rare and poorly understood clinical syndrome whose diagnosis requires profound knowledge of its varying symptoms (which include about 42 visual symptoms and 16 non-visual symptoms) as well as proper history-taking and thorough physical examination [1]. In general, the symptoms of AIWS need to be distinguished from other disorders of perception such as hallucinations and illusions, with which they may be easily confused [1]. These make the diagnosis of AIWS challenging, added to the fact that there is lack of a consensus on its diagnostic criteria [5].
It is important to establish the most likely aetiology of AIWS and it should be ascertained whether the suspected aetiology could be responsible for the symptoms of AIWS. Recent studies suggest that AIWS is more frequent in persons less than 18 years of age and most of the patients present with micropsia (seeing things smaller than they are) and/or macropsia (seeing things larger than they are) [1] as in our experience. However, in patients below 18 years of age, encephalitides are the main mediators of the symptoms of AIWS [1] and in our patient, cerebral malaria which was the most relevant encephalopathy to consider, was less likely in the absence of unarousable coma. These notwithstanding, the patient's historical, clinical and laboratory data associated with the episode of seizures in the course of treatment may be suggestive of a possible cerebral lesion leading to AIWS although it is obscure if this lesion was associated with neurological complications of severe malaria or an undiagnosed co-existing familiar cause of AIWS including Epstein Barr virus, influenza, partial seizures, or encephalomyelitis. The seizures observed in our patient may have also been due to quinine-induced hypoglycaemia. Albeit current literature proposes that hyperpyrexia (which is a common feature of severe malaria) could cause AIWS [1], this was also a less plausible aetiology in our patient whom on admission experienced visual distortions in the absence of fever. Finally, while it is known that some drugs like mefloquine (an antimalarial) and topiramate (an anticonvulsant) could trigger symptoms of AIWS, our patient's drug history was unrevealing in this regard.
The role of paraclinical investigations in evaluating patients suspected of having symptoms of AIWS remains controversial. Some authors recommend auxiliary investigations including imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalogram, particularly in cases with long-standing or recurring symptoms of AIWS in whom specific neurobiological correlates of the individual symptoms may be identified [1]. Other authors discount the relevance of imaging techniques in the isolation of specific pathological brain lesions which could explain the symptoms of AIWS [14, 15]. In any case, the symptoms of AIWS usually resolve either spontaneously or after adequate therapy directed towards a suspected underlying cause and as such the symptoms of AIWS are generally considered to be benign [1, 16]. In our case, the successful treatment of severe malaria possibly coincided with the characteristic spontaneous resolution of AIWS whose cause was poorly-elucidated.
In conclusion, AIWS is a rare clinical syndrome with a myriad of possible causes. It therefore presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Symptoms of AIWS generally resolve spontaneously or after treatment of an underlying aetiology. The regression of AIWS in our patient may have been consequent to the characteristic self-limiting nature of the syndrome which possibly coincided with the successful treatment of severe malaria (which was less likely the cause of AIWS). In any case, in line with previous reports on acute cases of AIWS, the good clinical progress of our patient further suggests a limited need for excessive investigation and treatment modalities which are, by the way, predominantly unaffordable in resource-limited primary care settings.

These obsessive Melbourne bar owners are stocking their shelves with hundreds of bottles of whisky – and still buying. Now start working your way through their collections.
"We introduce 10 new whiskies to the bar every week," says Julian White, co-owner of Whisky and Alement. Since rebranding from Chez Regine a few years back and acquiring an intial stock of 450 whiskies, it's been Melbourne's go-to place to taste the finest drops from Scotland, Japan and beyond.
These days the bar boasts about 600 whiskies. While good sense might tell you this figure would make it the out-and-out leader in Melbourne, more bar owners than you'd expect share White's zeal for the amber spirit. Whisky and Alement now has some serious competition.
The Kilburn in Hawthorn also has about 600 whiskies in stock, while at the recently opened Boilermaker House the team from Eau De Vie has assembled some 600 bottles and plans to add 100 more soon. These numbers are impressive, but they still look sensible in comparison to the US, where the leading bar stocks about 2000 whiskies.
For Ben Baranow, owner of The Kilburn, it's more so about balance. Even with such a large collection, he believes the whiskies must be selected so the range of countries and styles is evenly distributed. In other words, if a customer is keen to know more about a particular region or style, they have plenty of scope to explore.
Maintaining these huge offerings is no easy feat – bars must obsessively comb whisky magazines, distillery websites, social media and blogs to keep on top of new releases. "It's a full-time job," White says. The folks at Boilermaker download a regular podcast named WhiskyCast to help.
The problem is, supplies are limited and bars all around the world are clambering for the same products. The three bars tackle this by importing many whiskies themselves, which also ensures their lists stay relatively unique.
Thornbury's Carwyn Cellars uses a different strategy to maintain its 250-strong supply. Owner Ben Carwyn says the popularity of whisky has created many new importers and distributors in the past few years. "Keeping up with supply is not a problem at all, you just need to know which doors to knock on. In fact, our problem is we keep running out of space," he says. He sources the bar's rarest whiskies via online auctions.
Sanderson agrees. "Limited editions are okay if you get them as a new release," he says. "It's only when they've been around for a while that whisky collectors start to push the price up." This is the point where things start to get really crazy, in fact.
The most expensive whisky at Boilermaker, Port Ellen's 3rd Release, will set you back $420 a dram. Whisky and Alement offers the distillery's 2014 release at $220 a nip, while The Kilburn has a 30-year-old bottle of Laphraoig worth $3000. Carwyn Cellars had a bottle of Port Ellen from 1983. "But we drank it. Mostly. Accidently," Carwyn says.
A World Class drinking venue with over six hundred bottles, with a heavy selection of Scottish, Japanese, Australian and Irish malt whiskies, plus a range of bourbon and whiskies made from other grain.
A broad, 250-strong selection which covers many bases. Of late it's bolstered its Japanese, Australian and American whisky sections due to demand.
Six hundred bottles which represent whisky regions and distilleries from outside the mainstream selection in Australia. This World Class drinking venue has examples include the Springbank, Kilkerran, Glen Scotia and Bladnoch distilleries, from the Lowlands and Campbeltown regions in Scotland.
Six hundred whiskies representing a broad range of styles and international varieties, with a distinct focus on Scotch.

Moosewood author inspires next generation
JOE YONAN The Washington Post
Even we professionals can get into a cooking rut from time to time. This time of the year, we've got the best of summer and fall produce converging — and yet still I find myself relying on the same old dishes. The stir-fries, the pastas, the chopped salads.
Just when I was scratching my head, wondering what the next creative thing to do with vegetables might be, along comes Mollie Katzen with a 450-plus-page set of answers.
Katzen, of course, is the woman who gave us "The Moosewood Cookbook," which has sold millions since its debut in the 1970s. She has written 11 more cookbooks since. Spend time talking to Katzen, as I've had the pleasure of doing, and it's obvious she delights in cooking — and in vegetarian cooking, of course, even though she's not a strict vegetarian. Actually, that delight is just as obvious when you read her cookbooks, all of them illustrated by her.
The newest is "The Heart of the Plate: Vegetarian Recipes for a New Generation" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013), and in it Katzen encourages improvisation, offers optional "enhancements" galore and proclaims the glories of a lighter, sharper style of cooking no longer so dependent on cheesy, rich additions. As a newbie vegetarian cook wanting my own cooking to glorify — not hide — vegetables, I see her more-clarified approach as a godsend.
Take the Mushroom Popover Pie I made for an easy dinner — and again for lunch — recently. It comes together in little more time than it takes to cook down mushrooms in butter and to whirl together a three-ingredient batter in the blender. The batter is poured over the mushrooms in the skillet, and the thing bakes up almost like a clafoutis, that French dessert of cherries suspended in a custardy pancake. In this case, the edges get crisp and puffy like a popover's, and the interior stays creamy. The mushrooms, deepened with thyme and a heavy dose of black pepper, infuse the whole thing with an earthiness.
As with other favorite recipes, I immediately thought of the next several ways I'll try it: maybe adding arugula to those mushrooms or subbing in some butternut squash, don't you think?
Katzen didn't suggest any such "enhancements" here, but it didn't matter. I was inspired enough.
MUSHROOM POPOVER PIE
For the deepest flavor, use a combination of white and shiitake mushrooms, but you can substitute crimini or wild mushrooms for part or all of the mix.
8 ounces white button mushrooms, wiped clean, stemmed and thinly sliced
About 10 2-inch-wide (4 ounces total) shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and minced
1 teaspoon minced or crushed garlic
3 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
1 cup low-fat milk
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with a rack in the center position.
Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it softens, about 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, the thyme and a generous amount of pepper; cook, stirring often, for about 15 minutes or until the mushrooms' liquid has been released and has evaporated in the skillet and the mushrooms start to turn golden around the edges. It will seem like a lot of mushrooms at first, but they will cook down. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, combine the eggs, milk, flour and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a blender; purée to form a smooth, aerated batter. Alternatively, if you don't have a blender, whisk the ingredients together in a medium bowl. It's fine if the mixture has a few lumps.
Transfer the mushroom-onion mixture to a bowl. Rinse and dry the skillet, then return it to the stove top over low heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter; once it has melted and begun to foam, immediately remove from the heat and swirl to coat to the skillet. Be sure the edges of the skillet are coated; this will ease removal after the popover is baked. Add the mushroom-onion mixture, spreading it into a fairly even layer, then pour in the batter.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the batter is dry on top and feels solid when touched lightly with a fingertip. The popover will be slightly puffed — it deflates fairly quickly — and its edges will have shrunk from the sides of the skillet and become quite brown.
Cut into wedges and serve hot or warm.

This part replaces the original part included in the Atomic BZ 2017 chassis.
¿When should we replace the original lower base?
In the event that the original part has been deformed, or is broken, we must replace it with a new one. It is very important that these two pieces that make up the lower part of the front bench are in perfect condition. The front differential is mounted on them, so if it is not so it is very likely that the front differential does not work correctly and therefore the transmission does not perform as duty.


"I'll Be Missing You" was written for my husband just before he left for for a 2 week military training exercise. During his career in the military, the training exercises seemed to come all too often! The song expresses my sentiments at the anticipation of being left alone . . . again.
Wherever I am, whatever I do, I'll be missing you.
Time to breathe that sigh again.
Your leaving brings such pain to my heart.
Oh how it aches when we're apart.
That you're always here in my mind.
Darling, how I love you so.
When you're gone, things don't feel right.
Hearing your words, feeling your charms.
'Cause I know that you're not there.
I'll long to have you by me.
Time moves slowly when you're gone.
'Til you're home, I'll carry on.
When that day comes, how happy I'll be!
Things feel so good when you're with me.
Soon you'll be back home again.
You'll be right here in my heart.


This report is based on the study of the global market for ammonium nitrate explosive. To describe in brief the chemical compound, NH4NO3 is composed of nitric acid and salt of ammonia. In room temperature, ammonium nitrate appears in a white crystalline form and it is also colorless. These crystals are rhombohedra in shape but when they are subjected to temperatures above 32 degrees Celsius, they change to monoclinic crystals.
It is predominantly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer. The compound is also used as explosives in mining, and also sometimes in improvised explosive devices. It is the main component of ANFO, a popular explosive, which accounts for 80% explosives used in North America. It is used in instant cold packs, as hydrating the salt is an endothermic process.
Because of the safety consideration, currently many countries put a limit on the import of Ammonium Nitrate, factories normally need a license to produce AN.
The report focuses on the important geographies of sale of the ammonium nitrate explosive such as North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa. The entire ammonium nitrate explosive market has been categorized into three segments in this report, namely- manufacturers, regions, type and application.
The report is distributed over 15 Chapters to display the analysis of the global ammonium nitrate explosive market.
Chapter 13, 14 and 15 describe the value chain by focusing on the sales channel and the distributors, traders, dealers of the ammonium nitrate explosive. The concluding chapter also includes research findings and conclusion.

The Hanover Area Arts Guild is updating the name for its Carlisle Street Art Gallery to Art Downtown, according to a news release from the guild.
The change, which includes a new logo, is part of the preparation for the arts guild's 50th anniversary. The guild started as an association for artisans in Hanover in 1968.
The guild now has almost 200 members from Hanover, Adams County and northern Maryland, who participate in shows, sell their creations and take classes all at the gallery, according to the release.
Guild President Kim Asper said in the release that changing the name to Art Downtown better reflects what they do in the gallery at 32 Carlisle St. and emphasizes the members who specialize in fine crafts.
Some of those crafts include jewelry, fabric art and three dimensional art.
"Art Downtown is a great place to be," Asper said in the release.
The theme for May is red, white and blue, according to the release. The gallery will host a photography exhibit in June and July, where photos will sell for $99 and under. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
"We've seen the area getting stronger and more events bringing more people here," Asper said in the release.
She said the arts guild wants to be a part of that.
Art Downtown's hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Fridays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.

During the 2017 election campaign, London Bridge was the scene of an attack when three militants drove a van into pedestrians and then attacked people in the surrounding area killing eight and injuring at least 48
Police officers and emergency staff work at the site of an incident at London Bridge in London, Britain, November 29, 2019/ Reuters
British police named the man who stabbed two people to death in London on Friday in what the authorities called a terrorist attack as 28-year-old Usman Khan, who had been convicted of terrorism offenses and was released from prison last year.
"This individual was known to authorities, having been convicted in 2012 for terrorism offenses," Britain's top counter-terrorism police officer, Neil Basu, said in a statement.
"He was released from prison in December 2018 on license and clearly, a key line of enquiry now is to establish how he came to carry out this attack," Basu said.
A person who is released on license is subject to conditions for the duration of their sentence after leaving prison. The Times newspaper reported that Khan had agreed to wear an electronic tag.
The attacker went on the rampage just before 2 pm, targeting people at Fishmongers' Hall near London Bridge in the heart of the city's financial district - the scene of a deadly attack by Islamist militants two years ago.
In addition to the man and the woman who were killed, a man and two women were injured and remain in hospital, Basu said.
Just before the news broke of the suspect's previous conviction, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is seeking re-election on December 12, said criminals must be made to serve their sentences.
"It is a mistake to allow serious and violent criminals to come out of prison early, and it is very important that we get out of that habit and that we enforce the appropriate sentences for dangerous criminals, especially for terrorists," he said.
Johnson leads opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, according to opinion polls.
During the 2017 election campaign, London Bridge was the scene of an attack when three militants drove a van into pedestrians and then attacked people in the surrounding area, killing eight and injuring at least 48. The attack focused attention on cuts to policing since the governing Conservatives took power in 2010.
"We owe a deep debt of gratitude to our police and emergency services, and the brave members of the public who put themselves in harm's way to protect others," Corbyn said late on Friday.a

Lindsey Graham Breaks Senate For Very Good Reason: So We Can Lock Up Children Forever
Doktor Zoom
DHS Inspector General photo
Lindsey Graham's bill to "reform" the asylum process -- by destroying it -- passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday after Graham had himself a nice little snit, accusing Democrats of such terrible dishonesty that he had to break about a million rules to get the vote -- for a bill that has no chance of ever going anywhere in the House, so you wonder why he made such a fuss. Why, Lindsey? Well, it will make him a hero to Donald Trump, that's why, because his terrible bill would get rid of "loopholes" in asylum law that actually sometimes result in people being granted asylum.
We won't go into all the back and forth in Graham's forcing the vote, because the Honored Traditions of the Senate were already tossed into a box labeled "Nostalgic Relics" following the nomination of Merrick Garland. Basically, Graham was pissed that a Judiciary Committee meeting last week was one Democrat short of a quorum, and he accused Democrats of deliberately walking out to prevent the bill from getting a vote.
"You are not going to take my job away from me," Graham said. "I take this very personally. I've tried my best to find a compromise."
Fact check: Graham argues that he is open to compromise, but also argues his bill, which would make the asylum process far more difficult, is the only way to solve the crisis on the border that Donald Trump constructed.
Graham also turned his ire on Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), pouting, "Senator Leahy, you've been here a long time. I would never have done this to you." Leahy then explained he had been attending a funeral, as partisan backstabbers will. Leahy also pointed out that some Republicans had missed the session as well. "I hope that they weren't at a funeral too." Graham offered his condolences, but added he'd heard the Democrats were going to stay away, and shame on them.
Graham then forced a vote to move the bill to the full Senate, ignoring Democrats who said he was tossing out the committee's rules. No matter, because the Democrats started it by being mean, said Graham. Leahy responded by literally ripping up the rules, because if the only goal is making Donald Trump happy, why not?
Chairman Graham just broke FOUR committee rules in order to advance Pres. Trump's bill to lock up immigrant childre… https://t.co/uIdyzY1K6X
— Sen. Patrick Leahy (@Sen. Patrick Leahy)1564680133.0
But Lindsey got his way, as a chairman can, taking a vote to suspend the rules and vote the bill out of committee -- along party lines -- before the August recess.
And what a terrific bill it is, as we discussed in June. It includes a number of elements on Donald Trump and Stephen Miller's asylum wish list, like a fee for asylum applications, since people fleeing for their lives usually have plenty of spare money. It would also only allow people to request asylum if they cross the border at a port of entry, or in refugee processing centers to be set up in Central America and Mexico. That way people could request asylum from the comfort of the home countries they want to flee for their lives. Finally, it would set new, higher standards for even passing an initial screening for asylum, allowing far quicker deportations, so people can hurry up and die already.
Gee, can't see why Democrats wouldn't be itching to jump on those common-sense curtailments of human rights and laws that have been in place for decades. They must all love MS-13.
Worse, Graham's bill would eliminate the protections for minors under the Flores agreement, which currently allows minors to be held no more than 20 days in detention facilities. Instead, kids and their parents could be held up to 100 days in detention, and Graham would mandate that all asylum claims be adjudicated within those 100 days (not sure how he'd magic away the current backlog in immigration courts, where asylum cases can take years.)
We'd never have to be outraged again by stories like yesterday's investigative report on the shitty outfit that lost its license to run a group home but then got a $4 million grant to open a baby jail: Graham would prevent states from imposing any licensing requirements on immigrant detention facilities. Even worse, the bill would make DHS solely responsible for setting the standards of care for migrants in detention -- and prohibit any judicial review of those standards, if that's even constitutional. And all deportation decisions would similarly be final, with no option for appeal.
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee mocked Graham for pushing so hard on a bill that will get nowhere in the House. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) issued a statement calling it the "Graham-Trump bill," and Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on Judiciary, said the bill wouldn't solve problems at the border, but would instead make matters worse by allowing children and families to be held even longer in crappy conditions (yes, we're paraphrasing), and by denying asylum to people who are suffering.

But doesn't she understand? Repealing most of the rights of asylum seekers, especially the Flores decision, would make the delivery of cruelty so much more efficient.
