Today, we are thinking about inconsistent regional accent use in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones.
Like most fantasy television shows, Game of Thrones is largely populated by English actors speaking with English accents. This is because Americans are still unconvinced that England is a real country, and associate English speech patterns with kings and magic and sorcery and frequent stabbings.
But Game of Thrones takes its accents a step further: Its characters in speak in several different English accents, and often those accents correspond to to the real-world geography of Britain. Eddard Stark, the Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, is played by Sheffield's own Sean Bean, sporting his native northern English accent. Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West, is played with a posh southern accent by the great Charles Dance. And so on.
Generally speaking this is very cool (to nerdy Anglophile prisses, I mean. Not to me. I only like sports). It's a useful way for a dense, complicated series to quietly signal backgrounds, affiliations and alliances; it draws on pre-existing associations to quickly develop and define character; and it provides people on the internet with a new axis along which nitpicking can take place.
Which is why we're here! To nitpick.
Why do Ned Stark's kids all have different accents? Stark, as noted above, is played with a distinct, and real ("real") northern accent. Robb Stark, Jon Snow and Theon Greyjoy, Ned's older sons (sort of), are all played by non-northern English actors (Richard Madden, who plays Robb, is from Scotland, which is too far north, I guess; you can listen to his real accent below), but they've all, to varying degrees of success, adopted Bean's Sheffield accent.
The younger Stark kids, however, all have sort of generic southern accents. (Sometimes when Arya Stark speaks you can pick out Maisie Williams' slight West Country accent.) This is, maybe, explained by the fact that the girls and the younger boys have largely been raised by their mother, Catelyn Stark, who is from the Riverlands in the south (of Westeros, not England) (well, south of the North) and, as played by the North Irish actress Michelle Fairley, speaks with a decent though not perfect southern English accent. But! The kids' nurse Old Nan (played by the late Welsh[!] actress Margaret John) has a strong northern accent.
Stannis and Renly Baratheon, meanwhile, both speak with very actorly and slightly different southern accents. Whatever.
Thoros of Myr, on the other hand, is from, yes, the Free City of Myr, and yet as played by Paul Kaye he sounds like he's from London. (He seems to speak High Valyrian fine! But his Common Tongue is London through and through.) This kind of works for the whole groovy gay hippy "Brotherhood Without Banners" vibe, but it absolutely does not work for a hypothetical accent spreadsheet some viewers may have created at some dark point in their hypothetical lives.
Roose Bolton is a northman through and through, but uses an actorly RP accent as played by Michael McElhatton, who's Irish. Hard to really complain about McElhatton's amazingly creepy voice, though.
Samwell Tarly is from the Reach in the middle of Westeros, and hates the north, and, yet, in the person of John Bradley, speaks with a northern (Mancunian, in this case) accent.
The best I can do with Aiden Gillen, the Irish actor currently using every single vowel sound in every single word he says as Littlefinger, is to pretend that it's not the actor but the character, a very minor rural lord with aspirations at greatness, affecting that bizarre accent to sidestep his (Vale, and therefore "Welsh"?) background.
Peter Dinklage: I mean, I don't know. A disaster, basically, but somehow it works. Nickolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays his brother, somehow manages a better accent despite being Danish.
"The show has dragons, who cares if the accents don't match?": Well, first of all, I care. Second of all, the cornerstone of science fiction and fantasy fandom is nitpicking. Third of all, the fact that Game of Thrones doesn't take place within our collectively agreed-upon reality doesn't release it from its responsibility to verisimilitude or the maintenance of internal consistency within its own systems.

The Comte De Saint Germain
Free download available in PDF, epub, and Kindle ebook formats. Skip straight to downloads.
The Count St. Germain was a man of mystery. An 18th century European aristocrat of unknown origin. He had no visible means of support, but no lack of resources, and moved in high social circles. He was a renowned conversationalist and a skilled musician. He dropped hints that he was centuries old and could grow diamonds. He never ate in public, was ambidextrous, and as far as anyone could tell, totally celibate. He served as a backchannel diplomat between England and France, and may have played some role in Freemasonry. He hobnobbed with Marie Antoinette, Catherine the Great, Voltaire, Rousseau, Mesmer, and Casanova. He dabbled in materials and textile technology as well as alchemy, as did many intellectuals of the time (e.g., Newton). These are established historical facts, documented by the extensive collection of contemporary accounts in this book. Less well understood are some of the other stories that have been made about the elusive Count: he always appeared about forty years old, popped up from time to time after his official death (on February 27th, 1784), made spot-on, unambiguous prophecies, could transmute matter, and spontaneously teleported to distant locations. This has made him a subject of interest for students of the esoteric. The Theosophists, (of which Cooper-Oakley was a founding member), considered St. Germain to be one of the hidden immortals who manipulate history. In the 20th century, the 'I Am' Activity, and its successors such as Elizabeth Clare Prophet's adherents, elevated St. Germain to the status of a demigod, an 'Ascended Master.'
Production notes: This ebook of The Comte De Saint Germain was published by Global Grey in 2018.

Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) is a homotetrameric enzyme (E.C.4.1.1.1) that catalyses the decarboxylation of pyruvic acid to acetaldehyde carbon dioxide in the cytoplasm. It is also called 2-oxo-acid carboxylase, and pyruvic decarboxylase. In anaerobic conditions, this enzyme is part of the fermentation process that occurs in yeast, especially the Saccharomyces genus, to produce ethanol by fermentation. Pyruvate decarboxylase starts this process by converting pyruvate into acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide. Pyruvate decarboxylase depends on cofactors thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and magnesium. This enzyme should not be mistaken for the unrelated enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase, an oxidoreductase (EC 1.2.4.1), that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA.

Next week, I'll be leading a session on criticism — "When To Listen And What To Hear" — at Writer Unboxed's "Un-Conference" event in Salem, Massachusetts…where they know a few things about being critical.
That session and this column are not about the more extreme moments in consumer review that have been so avidly discussed lately.
You'll be familiar, for example, with the strange case of the YA novelist Kathleen Hale whose stalking of an online detractor is given (finally) some sober, contextual consideration by my colleague, the Salon critic Laura Miller, in her piece, Battle Of The Trolls: Kathleen Hale Reveals The War Raging Between Authors And Readers.
So much of the Internet's nastiest manifestations come from those who view themselves as underdogs striking back in the only way they can.
While Miller goes on to reference the myriad dust-ups on the huge Goodreads site (which became so insupportable at one point that they triggeredadministrative intervention last year), for me the key concept she has introduced in her good essay is animus — as in intent, an objective. Sometimes it's the negative ill will of animosity, but not always. In many cases there are ostensibly and apparently positive intentions animating some of the worst excesses of reviews encountered by readers and writers today.
I can give you a sense for what I'm talking about in a religious reference, of all things. (The many talents of ministers' sons, you see?) Among the great faiths, Christianity is sometimes said to be set apart primarily by its evangelical tenets: the mission. Trying to persuade others to believe what one believes and behave the way one behaves ("one way") is not essential to all doctrines, as it is to many formulations of Christian myth and practice.
And what marks a lot of consumer review is mission. A purpose. An intent to cause one reaction or another in the reader of the review. Many people writing reviews today either consciously or unconsciously are trying to sway those who read their reviews to do one thing or another: read the book or don't read it; see the film or don't see it; buy the music or don't buy it; eat at the restaurant or eat somewhere else; etc.
It might surprise some of those consumer reviewers to know that this is not, in fact, a part of traditional critical practice.
Nothing here is about consumer reviewers' rights, by the way. You frequently hear, "I have a right to write this thing any way I want." And that's correct.
But having the right to do something doesn't make it the right thing to do.
The noise and bad blood around a lot of reviews and reactions could be eased if more reviewers stopped trying to trigger one reaction or another in everyone else.
The best critic doesn't instruct you to go to a play, read a book, avoid a concert, or try a new gym. The best critic simply lays out what she or he thinks about something, then steps back and lets the reader of the review make up his or her mind.
The Writer Unboxed community is the kind that will understand this point: asking yourself what your motivation is for writing a review can help you sidestep a lot of the troublesome tone that can make consumer reviews such a swamp — or your manuscript such a mire.

And we're back with issue two (am I allowed to call columns "issues?" I'm doing it anyway) of Gotham Gazette, your one-stop shop for all things Bat-Family, and we've got a whole bunch to talk about this time around.

The $249 Schlage Encode smart Wi-Fi deadbolt is now one of the first smart locks to be fully compatible with Ring devices like the Ring Video Doorbell Pro or Stick Up Cam. Set it up via the Amazon Key app or the Schlage Home app and you'll be able to operate it from your phone. When set up to work with Ring you can streamline your home's security and control all the devices from one place.
In fact, while using the Live View video feature of your Ring security camera, you will be able to lock and unlock your door directly by accessing the Schlage deadbolt. If a visitor shows up at your door and rings the bell, you'll get a smart notification. You can then pull up the feed on your phone no matter where you are, verify the guest, and unlock the smart lock without leaving the Ring app.
Since this lock works with Amazon Key, you can also get it paired with the Cloud Cam Kit for $299.99. Amazon Key is an interesting program we've been writing about for years, and it's always improving. That might be worth looking into if you're curious.
You should know a lot of the Ring devices that pair easily with this deadbolt are on sale right now. And most of them come with a free Echo Dot smart speaker as well. That includes the Ring Alarm 5-piece system, the Ring Floodlight Cam, the Ring Stick Up Cam, and the Ring Video Doorbell Pro. It's a good time to be investing in home security!

This article's topic is on how to be able to spot a trend in its beginning and make sure you don't miss the ride. Being able to catch a trend as it begins is probably the most sought out peace of information and the leading skill aspiring traders want to possess. Catching a trend is what makes trading easy and really profitable. Of course, in practice it's much different because Identifying a trend is only easy when it has already happened, and you need to arm yourself with a lot of patience if you're going to be able to do this correctly. The key is to identify a trend that is just about to take off. So, in this article we'll discuss 4 methods for identifying an early trend and hope that at least one of them will suite you.
You can add this concept to your MA's. As seen in the charts above, one common trait of a trend is that it has higher highs and lower lows and vice versa. Fibonacci retracement really helps in identifying where those levels would be. Use high and lows to create channels and trend lines in order to give your outlook further structure.
Bollinger bands indicator is one of the best indicators to use for counter-trend strategies, and one of the simplest ways to identify a trend. It's also a volatility indicator.
The rules are simple - when the price is 'hugging' the upper Bollinger band and the bands are flaring out its an UPTREND.
When the price is hugging the lower Bollinger band and the bands are flaring out (volatility increased) it is DOWNTREND.
First thing you need to look at is your time frames. Daily, weekly trends can be running for weeks and months and provide opportunities for 1000+ pip trades. So these are the time frames you want to focus on. Generally, chart structure is the same on all time-frames with the difference being that there is more noise on the lesser time frames, which make them more uncertain since anything can happen. However, if you think that a new trend is starting soon and want to try to enter it a bit earlier, you would want to look at the smaller time frames.
ATR (average true range) is one of the best indicators to use in trading. Initially, the indicator was designed for commodities, as ATR measures volatility, and commodities used to be more volatile. Before looking into how it works, it's important to remember that ATR does not provide an indication of price direction, only volatility.
The price was stuck in a range and surely needs to breakout, either up or down. We can see that the ATR is low, so we would be expecting that it will start to rise. Usually, only when the ATR is starting to rise again can we expect some volatility. Keep in mind that there can be weeks of low ATR and low volatility, however, this price break gives an indication that the ATR will continue upward. Similarly, when ATR is high it doesn't necessarily mean that volatility is expected to decrease.

The soothing energy of pearls help to overcome negative thought patterns and let go of struggle in life. Connected with the moon and water they help us to attune to the ebb and flow of life, balance emotions and connect us with our inner wisdom. They enhance personal integrity and teach us to love and nurture our true self whilst searching for higher wisdom and truth. They are a protective gem, balancing the chakras, filling the aura with light, dissolving negative attachments and countering psychic attack.
Pearls come in a range of colours, iridescent white with hints of pink, peach or grey, or iridescent black with tones of green blue or violet. The healing qualities of Cultured pearls are the same as naturally formed pearls. Helping to balance the body's rhythms and hormonal levels with the cycles of the moon, they are believed to aid in fertility and were used by women to help ease birth. Traditionally they have been used to manage allergies and help ailments of the lungs, eyes and kidneys.

Radford Brook Linear Park
by Joanne Truslove | Feb 21, 2020
Leisure, Restoration
CDP has submitted a planning application for a new linear park which will provide a continuous 1km long green link from the top of Naul's Mill Park, under the ring road through to Belgrade Plaza in the city centre.
The route follows the line of the culverted Radford Brook which will be recreated as a natural habitat through the former Gas Works site in Abbotts Lane, where CDP is proposing to create a new residential community of more than 700 apartments.
The pedestrian and cycle route passes under a raised section of the ring road, which will be brought to life as a new urban space with a new climbing wall, performance amphitheatre, feature lighting and landscaping.
The route connects the city centre to the Edwardian Naul's Mill Park, which opened in 1908 following the demolition of the medieval mill in 1889. Improvements to the park including naturalising the large pond as a wildlife haven are also planned.
Where pedestrians currently have to navigate a narrow and unattractive path underneath the ring road, the proposals will deliver a broad urban space to create a safe and dynamic environment throughout the day. The plans showcase the area's history, re-creating the culverted Radford Brook and regenerating the beautiful Edwardian Naul's Mill Park to become a major green asset for the city centre.
If approved, it is hoped that work on the site will begin in late spring and will be completed by the start of 2021, reading for Coventry's City of Culture calendar of events.

Complex Development Projects worked in partnership with Coventry City Council on the physical, economic, heritage and cultural regeneration of Far Gosford Street which was recognised as the city's "creative quarter"
The principal catalyst and draw for Far Gosford Street, will ultimately be the unique offer and attraction of FarGo Village. The underlying concept to the Village was the creation of a bohemian quarter around the establishment of a marketplace for designer makers and fine and performance arts. The concept had similarities to the early regeneration of the Camden Lock area of London and centered upon a market and entertainment focus that becomes an attraction for weekend visitors. The aim being to create a cool place to hang out and to visit, where you can buy alternative and creative/artistic products, eat street food, be entertained by street performance and art shows.
The "Village" acts as a seedbed for local business talent and focus on growth sectors of product design and media. The concept is innovative and unique in the West Midlands, but is not untried being based on successful projects in other UK cities.
The project was undertaken in two stages, the first stage started on site in August 2013 and opened to the public in September 2014. Stage 2 was the delivery of a 500 capacity venue which opened in September 2015. The project was funded by ERDF with some private finance.
Now in its fourth year of operation, FarGo Village attracts over 250,000 visitors per year and is well established as a Coventry Visitor Attraction, venue and community space. Further development of The Box is now complete with the addition of live performance facilities, technical equipment, staging, lighting, back of house facilities and improved acoustics in time for City of Culture 2021, where FarGo Village will play an important role. The newly developed Box, opened in September 2019.

Most of us are now here in Las Vegas. Terri and I flew on the same plane here and got in late last night. Instead of a $60 cab ride to the Suncoast Hotel and Casino, we were able to have Captain Mike pick us up. It's about a 20+ mile ride out to the hotel. It seemed like drive from downtown Atlanta to Alpharetta.
Here we are at the hotel.


Nasker is the brand name that wins the award for April. Nasker is a new electrical bike brand. Three models are already launched - Nasker City, Nasker Compact and Nasker Actor, the first 2 subbrands being also created by the Rabbiter.
All three models have a maximum speed of 25 km/h on electricity. Another advantage of the bikes is the weight - they are extremely light, yet a load of 125 kg can be transported due to their solid construction. Nasker are also silent and eco-friendly - all great benefits for a true cyclist.
The Rabbiter also created the logo of the brand and the slogan "Nasker - you don't need an engine to be fast". Both are made to evoke the speed of the electrical bikes.

Next Post When Is The Best T...
Six guilt-free ways to get rid of unwanted Christmas presents
Thursday Dec 29th, 2022
Open any presents this Christmas you weren't so sure on? Didn't want to seem ungrateful so gave the obligatory 'Wow, thanks!' reaction?
You're not alone, as more than 62% of Canadians receive at least one unwanted gift every Christmas, costing roughly $1.2 billion in total – not very economical in the current climate.
But while the largest group of people politely keep presents they dislike (23.20%), according to a recent survey, regifting follows as a close second choice (22.50%) and those kindly donating it to charity complete the top three (21.87%).
So, whether it's a jumper that isn't very you, a bottle of alcohol you've just vowed to cut down on, or hand lotion that smells a bit like bubblegum cluttering up your home, Nick Drewe, retail expert at WeThrift, shares his top tips on how to get rid of unwanted gifts this Christmas guilt-free.
And that doesn't include the 6.13% of us who throw them away, or the 4.68% who very bluntly just give them back...
1. Donate them
Sometimes the simplest solution is the most effective.
"It goes without saying that the best thing you can do with your unwanted gifts is donate them to a good cause," says Drewe.
"When it comes to charity shop donations, make sure you apply for Gift Aid on your items. This is a form of tax relief that allows charities to claim an extra 25p on every £1 donation at no extra cost. In other words, your donation will be boosted.
"Other than charity shops, you can also donate your unwanted toys to a children's hospital, as well as any books to a school or library."
So just think about where exactly your unwanted gift will be most useful.
2. Sell them
If you feel like selling a gift is rude, it's certainly better than just giving it back, or throwing it in the bin.
"These days, you have more options than just eBay when it comes to selling your unwanted presents online," explains Drewe.
"For example, there are websites and apps such as Depop, Vinted, Shpock and Facebook Marketplace which let you sell a wide range of items.
"If you do decide to sell your unwanted Christmas presents on these platforms, it's important that your item description is as detailed as possible. Be clear about the condition of the items, and if you're dealing with clothes, list the exact measurements."
The more information and photos you include about your product, the more likely it will sell quickly, according to Drewe.
3. Recycle them
There's more than one way to recycle a gift you aren't keen on.
"You can also opt to do your bit and help save the planet with your unwanted presents," Drewe says. "Retailers including John Lewis, M&S, Nike and H&M have schemes where they will buy back your unwanted clothes or shoes.
"If you're wanting to recycle unwanted electronics, games and CDs, you can use websites such as MusicMagpie, which allow you to post your items for an agreed amount of cash."
4. Regift them
Just because you're not a fan of your present, doesn't mean someone else won't be.
"If you think the present would be better suited for someone else, then you should have no shame in regifting an item to a friend, relative or acquaintance who will give it a better home," says Drewe.
"Doing this will guarantee that the gift won't go to waste, and you'll also be saving money on buying something new for your friend's birthday. Just re-wrap the present in fresh paper, or put it in a cute gift bag."
If it's edible, however, always check the use by date!
5. Return them
"To return or exchange your items, all that is required to take it back to the store is a proof of purchase," says Nick Drewe. "If a gift receipt was left in your present, you can use this to exchange the item for something else."
But you might have just one more hurdle to jump through.
"If there is no gift receipt, you'll unfortunately have to ask the person who got the gift for a receipt. Likewise, if the present was bought online, it is the buyer's responsibility to return or exchange it for something else.
"Obviously, this all boils down to how comfortable you are telling the person you don't like their gift!" Of course you can always say clothes don't fit and you're exchanging for a different size...
6. Repurpose them
How crafty are you? "Alternatively, you can choose to keep hold of the present and turn it into something useful for yourself," suggests Drewe.
"For instance, you can use part of that unwanted top as a hair band, or craft a fluffy scarf out of an awful jumper. Or, if you love the style of a particular piece of clothing but hate its colour, perhaps give it a makeover by dyeing it.
"The DIY possibilities are endless!"

Home » Personal Health » Aluminiumdeos are to blame? Or the cell phone radiation?
Cancer patients often seek desperate for an explanation for why the disease has taken. Who scares against cancer, and avoiding things that trigger him supposedly. But apparently, it is difficult for many of the actual risks of Smoking, for example, to separate sunburn, Obesity, excessive alcohol or too little movement – of the supposed. A survey of British scientists in the year 2016 showed that a large proportion of respondents, cancer myths, as such, does not recognize. Seven popular views in the fact check.
1. Sweeteners increase the risk of cancer?
In the EU, currently there are eleven sweeteners are allowed. You will always be brought up again in connection with a cancer-promoting effect. In the case of the already approved aspartame for about animal studies, feeding the suspicion that the substance could increase the risk of cancer. So it is administered to Italian researchers mice over a long period of time, high doses of aspartame. The animals developed tumors. The researchers suspected that the substance could also be a danger to people.
The European food safety authority Efsa has evaluated aspartame in 2013 and examined all relevant animal and human studies. You classified the substance in the currently approved maximum dose, is safe, and criticised the mice in the study as methodologically flawed. In the intestine is aspartame completely degraded to amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid, and Methanol. Methanol can promote in high doses, cancer. The amount that is produced by the breakdown of aspartame, is too low, the Efsa. It is even less than in other foods, of course, occur, such as in fruit.
Also steviol glycosides, sweeteners from the Stevia Plant, were tested prior to their approval in 2011 to a risk of cancer. Here there is no risk according to the current data location, also. "Permitted additives to cause the current state of knowledge, neither cancer, nor harm in any other manner the health, as long as they are used only in the quantities specified," writes the cancer information service. Also in Germany the competent Federal Institute for risk assessment (BfR) pointed out that the assumed relationships were not confirmed after multiple test"".
2. Refrain from emotions or Stress tumors expressed?
A survey conducted by the German cancer research centre on the basis of 2017, according to 61 percent of the 2000 respondents, men and women are convinced that Mental problems and Stress of cancer and the cause, although there is for this Theory is scientifically no evidence at all. The risk of cancer, increases the Stress at the most indirectly: By it leads to people drinking more alcohol, Smoking, or unhealthy diets.
Also, the Belief that a combative attitude helps to defeat the cancer, is still widespread. It also applies here: Clearly this is not proven. A positive attitude can help mentally, by making a donation of hope. For cancer patients, but it can be very relieving, to give grief, anger, and fear of space. A flexible attitude helps often better to cope with the disease.
After all: Only a few Respondents believe that certain personality characteristics are conducive to the development of cancer. The idea of a "cancer personality" is considered to be obsolete. People who are prone to melancholy, have adapted to live or to suppress feelings, do not suffer more often from cancer.
3. Shocks Cause Breast Cancer?
A woman pushes or squeezes the breast. Shortly after the chest is found to be cancer. Triggered the accident? Questions like these are to be found in Internet forums. What is used in retrospect, as an explanation, is not suitable for this, however. "Concepts, according to which, for example, a 'gland contusion' promotes cancer, come from homeopathy and naturopathy", it says on the side of the cancer information service. "You can not go back the majority of past centuries, as today's Knowledge about the cancer formation." Evidence of impacts, blows, bruises, contusions or other traumas promote cancer, is not there.
4. Cause Deodorants with aluminum breast cancer?
Aluminum is in Deodorant, food, and medicinal products, packaging, or utensils and can go from there in the body. It is proved that high doses in humans, is a poison for the nervous system. In animals, adverse effects are evidenced also on the Embryo, writes the BfR.
The European food safety authority Efsa has therefore established a tolerable weekly intake for Aluminium from food. It is at a milligram of Aluminium per kilogram of body weight per week. The BfR assumes that this amount is exhausted, part of the consumer alone is through food. Who uses, in addition, Deodorants with Aluminium, it could exceed duration, so that aluminum anreichere in the body. The BfR therefore advises caution, Deodorants with aluminum, not directly after shaving or to damaged skin apply. Or equal to aluminum-free Deodorants.
However, That Deodorants with Aluminium in breast cause cancer, is not proven. In studies in the tissue of women affected by elevated aluminium were observed values. However, other studies could not confirm this. The data were not consistent, according to the most recent overview of work in the "Deutschen ärzteblatt" . The majority of studies find no connection. Moreover, it is not clear whether aluminum accumulates as the other minerals – increased as a result of a cancer disease in the tumor tissue, and thus the increased values accompanying more would be the appearance of a cancer and not the trigger.
5. Methadone for cancer help?
From a "miracle weapon" in 2017, the speech, reports in various media were Ill hope to Die was tumor cells through the addition of methadone to cancer resources better? A researcher had observed this in the lab. Individual patients also reported Successes.
However, clinical studies are lacking, the effect is not sufficiently proven, interaction and side effects far too little known. In addition, have shown in cell cultures and animal studies, only those doses have an effect that is likely to be converted to be human toxic, writes the "Science Media Center" .
Methadone is approved for cancer, only for pain treatment, not the therapy. Professional societies recommend it in an uncontrolled manner, since it is not certain whether the Benefit exists at all and whether it outweighs the risks. "On the Basis of the available data use of methadone as a cancer drug outside of clinical trials is not justified," writes the German cancer aid .
6. Cell Phone Causes Radiation Of Tumors?
Also, in the theme there are only observational studies. That the mobile phone causes cancer, therefore, can not be proved. Laboratory tests showed "no meaningful clues to cell damage," writes the cancer information service. Biological mechanisms, such as phone Calls or masts cancer could cells, are not known. And the study location is not even in the observational studies. The majority have shown no increased risk for cancers such as leukemia, brain or testicular tumors or other cancers in the head and neck area.
In a study was, however, observed that people who used very much and long with the phone, had an increased risk for a certain rare type of brain tumors. However, these data are controversial, some experts believe that they are a statistical coincidence. The WHO has classified mobile phones in 2011, however, as "possibly carcinogenic" – a conservative estimate, the residual does not exclude the risk, even if the majority of the data shows so far in a different direction. To prevent, advises the Federal office for radiation protection, for example, to make calls as short as possible with the phone or use the headset.
7. Sports or a Massage metastases distributed in the body?
Should cancer patients preserve be better? Could detach the tumor cells by massage, or sports, and to distribute in the body? This is not the case: A Massage relaxes and movement before, during and after the therapy the blessing. However, you should be on one's own possibilities and goals, all of which will be Concerned, best to discuss with the doctor. Who does not want to train alone, it can be connected, for example, a cancer sports group.


Fishing information is provided below for Buena Vista, the Arkansas River, and the high lakes region in the Collegiate Peaks to the west. Altitudes are included in the guide below for use in planning high lake or stream trips. Remember that camp sites above timberline (about 11,500 feet) are not likely to have firewood. The high lakes are usually not ice free until the second or third week in June and are good fishing because fewer people go there, but even town lake has given up some trophy size trout.
Fishing licenses are required for anyone 15 years or older and checks by Wildlife Conservation officers are frequent. Those 14 years old or under may fish free, but may catch only half of the adult limit. Check regulations as some areas are restricted to flies and lures only and have specific limits on keeping fish.
If you are unable to hike to one of the high mountain lakes, you may go by horseback. Guided fishing tours are also available.
Brown's Creek (alt. 10,000 to 11,500') is located south of Chalk Creek and descends east between Mt. White and Mt. Shavano. Brown's Creek is good for native cutthroat trout. At the headwaters is a large pond and beaver dams, ideal for good fly fishing. The upper basin is quite scenic with a wonderful waterfall. The trail is approximately 5 miles long.
Chalk Creek (8,300 10,000') is home to 6-12" rainbows and brown trout starting above Mt. Princeton Hot Springs. Cascades area has some larger fish and Chalk Lake just before the cascades gets stocked regularly.
Grizzly Lake (11,200') requires 3 miles of trail or 4 wheel drive from St. Elmo turn-off. 6-14" brook trout. Good fly fishing. Very scenic.
Pomeroy Lakes (12,000') is 3 miles south of the ghost town of Romley by trail. Good for 6-24" native cutthroats. Good fly fishing.
Hancock Lake (11,600') is 2 1/2 miles past Hancock by trail. 6-14" natives and brooks.
Mirror Lake (11,000') is a very good destination for a full-day family sightseeing, fishing, and picnic trip. The lake is scenic, accessible for the kids to fish, has a campground and 10-12" rainbows and browns. It can be reached by 4-wheel drive road over Tincup Pass (about 30 miles from Buena Vista) or by car over Cottonwood Pass and south from Taylor Park Reservoir (about 45 miles from Buena Vista).
Cottonwood Creek (8,500-9,600') beyond Cottonwood Hot Springs resort is fair to good for 8-14" rainbows and browns. Above Cottonwood Lake it is good for 10" rainbows.

No, Sharing Your Netflix Password Hasn't Been Made Illegal
Over the last week there has been a lot of fretting about a decision by the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit regarding a case in which a former employee gained access to his former employer's proprietary database using a current employee's password. A veritable who's who of tech blogs have been spun up claiming that the decision makes it illegal to share your Netflix password.
In his dissenting opinion, Judge Stephen Reinhardt pointed out the trouble of ambiguous phrases like "unauthorized access" is that it could be interpreted to criminalize the actions of millions of Americans who might share their Netflix passwords.
The majority does not provide, nor do I see, a workable line which separates the consensual password sharing in this case from the consensual password sharing of millions of legitimate account holders, which may also be contrary to the policies of system owners. There simply is no limiting principle in the majority's world of lawful and unlawful password sharing.
Simply put, this is nonsense. In the case, David Nosal, a headhunter, left his employer to start a new firm, and brought several other employee's along for the ride. Together, they used the password of a current employee of their former employer to access sensitive and proprietary data belonging to their former firm. This is, quite simply, hacking. Had they used a brute force attack to compromise their former employer's data, it would be no different. As former employees, they simply were not allowed to access the system. Period.
I have my issues with many of our cybercrime laws. For instance, the defacement of a website is essentially the equivalent of spray painting your name on a building wall. In many ways it is actually less serious as it can typically be undone with a backup restore, and has almost zero cost associated with it. Compare that to the cost of having to hire someone to paint over or sandblast your wall. Yet the defacement of a website is a serious crime and the punishment for physical vandalism is typically very minor.
In Nosal's case, however, the comparison to the real-world equivalent of his crime is pretty spot on.
If Nosal had been employed by a department store, quit, then got his buddy the night-shift stock clerk to open the door so he could come in and steal all of their clothing to resell it, he still stole the clothing. It doesn't matter that he had a friend on the inside. In fact, the friend on the inside should be charged as well for facilitating the burglary. The tech blogs, however, want to draw a different comparison. They want you to believe that his friend helping to steal from Target is the same as his friend simply lending Nosal the key to his house despite the fact that his roommate was home.
To be clear, nobody was charged with sharing a password. Nosal was charged with illegally accessing a proprietary database to steal something of value from a system he was not authorized to access. The facts of the case are not in dispute. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, under which Nosal was tried, was meant to handle exactly this sort of incident – an individual circumventing prohibitions on system access to steal something of great value.
The comparison to sharing a Netflix password, specifically, is completely ridiculous given that Netflix actively encourages you to share your account by allowing you to specify multiple account users. Nothing in this decision makes that illegal.
If the tech community wanted to make a sensationalist claim, a more apt comparison might be the sharing of an Amazon password to get a Prime discount tomorrow. Even that, however, is not an apt comparison as you are still paying for the goods, albeit at a savings. You are still paying the full price that any Prime member would pay. The CFAA does, however, give Amazon the legal authority to prosecute that if they would like to do so.
Despite the wishes of the "everything should be free" crowd, their is still a concept of ownership. The CFAA decision reinforces that concept and holds individuals (in this case Nosal) responsible for theft of goods owned by someone else. Despite the public outcry, this decision was rightly decided and is, in fact, a feature of the law, not a bug.


Moshe Nissim has dropped a ticking time bomb into the Israeli political scene.
He is a charming man who wears a yarmulka. In the distant past, he served as Minister of Justice and as Minister of Finance under a Likud government. At one time, he was the youngest person ever to serve in the Knesset; he was elected at the age of 24, sparking an uproar over the fact that he had not served in the military. He is a son of Rav Yitzchok Nissim, the former Rishon Letzion and chief rabbi of Israel.
What is the explosion that Moshe Nissim is now poised to create?
In the report that he submitted last week to Prime Minister Binyomin Netanyahu on the subject of giyur in Israel, Nissim proposed passing a law that includes a clause that states, "Any conversion performed by a recognized Jewish community abroad will be recognized for the purposes of the Law of Return." To put it in simpler terms, the proposal grants official recognition to Reform conversions.
You may be wondering if Moshe Nissim's law might be referring only to conversions that were performed in Orthodox Jewish communities. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The law states explicitly that a "recognized Jewish community" is defined as "an established and active community with a shared and known Jewish identity, which has an organized framework of communal management, and belongs to one of the streams recognized by the global Jewish populace." That definition should remove even the slightest shadow of a doubt.
So there you have it. That is the reason for the fierce opposition to the so-called "Nissim Report." Nevertheless, some more explanation is in order. For one thing, many have asked a simple question: Considering that the Israeli government has long recognized Reform conversions that were performed abroad, what is the reason for the sudden opposition to Nissim, who is not suggesting any change? The answer is very simple: Until now, the Supreme Court recognized those conversions, and there was nothing we could do about it. After all, the justices of the Supreme Court are the de facto rulers of the country; their power exceeds that of the cabinet and the Knesset. Moshe Nissim, however, wants to establish a new law that will officially recognize Reform conversions in chutz la'aretz, and he expects us to vote in favor of the law. That is, instead of going along with the policy in silence and for lack of an alternative, as we have done until now, he wants us to raise our hands in the Knesset in order to signal support for this clause. That is something that cannot be done. We cannot agree to this bill; we cannot set a precedent of this nature. In fact, our argument is that the State of Israel itself has never recognized Reform conversions performed in other countries, just as it has not recognized those conversions when they were performed in Israel. Rather, the Supreme Court forced the Ministry of the Interior to accept the recognition of foreign conversions, and even that is solely for the sake of officially registering the converts as Jews; the Rabbinate, on the other hand, does not recognize the conversions as valid. If the Knesset now accepts these conversions, it would be setting a major precedent.
I immediately asked him about the Nissim Report. "How could you have thought that we would agree to that clause?" I demanded.
"The situation right now is exactly the same," he said.
"We will be satisfied if you don't vote at all, neither for nor against the bill," he said.
The reaction was not only vehement and unequivocal. It was also universal. The chorus of rejection came from every direction at once, with no hesitation and no attempts to soften the opposition. Every chareidi political leader announced immediately that he would have nothing to do with Nissim's report or his proposed law, and that the document should be consigned to the dustbin of history. One of the members of the Knesset invoked the term "chaspa d'alma," the Gemara's term for a completely worthless document. "It should be used to cover a plate!" he added, citing yet another phrase from the Gemara. The immediate and vehement reactions of the chareidi leaders indicated that their stance was unequivocal.
Moreover, these forceful reactions came not only from the political wing of the chareidi leadership, but from its rabbinic leaders as well. Two former Sephardic chief rabbis of Israel, Rav Shlomo Amar (today the rov of Yerushalayim) and Rav Eliyohu Bakshi-Doron (who made the effort to protest despite his illness), issued a joint statement against the proposal, going so far as to call upon the rabbonim from the dati leumi sector who had supported the report to retract their positions. "You have been misled. Do not lend your support to this plan," they insisted.
The first portion of the clause, which states that conversion will be considered an official process, sounds good. But the purpose of those words is to sweeten the bitter pill that follows. In the introduction to his report, Moshe Nissim pontificates about the fact that giyur must be religious, and in the text of the law itself (paragraph 15), he emphasizes, "The conversions performed by the botei din for giyur must be conducted based on the laws of the Torah." Nevertheless, the Reform movement can certainly petition the Supreme Court with the claim that their conversions are also in accordance with Torah law, and the court may even accept that claim. Anything is possible in the Supreme Court….
In any event, from the standpoint of the chief rabbis and the Chief Rabbinate, this represents an unacceptable breach in established protocol. Removing giyur from the jurisdiction of the Chief Rabbinate and transferring it to anyone else, even if the dayanim were to be appointed by the Chief Rabbinical Council, would be the first step on a slippery slope whose end result cannot be foreseen. Even worse, Nissim's report goes much further, suggesting that giyur should be subject to the authority of the prime minister. That, of course, is in addition to the official recognition of Reform conversions performed abroad.
The history of the struggle over giyur in Israel began 30 years ago, when the Supreme Court first ruled that a conversion performed outside the country, by a "recognized Jewish community" – by its own definition – must be recognized by the government for the purposes of labeling the convert as a Jew in the population registry and granting them citizenship under the Law of Return. The decision did not grant Jewish status to a convert with respect to marriage and divorce, which is the subject of a different law in Israel. Nevertheless, since the Law of Return states that any person who "is a Jewish child of a Jewish mother or has converted" may receive Israeli citizenship, the Supreme Court ruled that the Ministry of the Interior must grant legal Jewish status and immigration rights to any person who underwent a Reform conversion outside the country. The court's ruling extends only to Reform conversions that were performed overseas, but not to those that were performed in Israel. The Reform petitions regarding conversion in Israel itself were rejected. The court explained that in Eretz Yisroel, there is an official rabbinate that is part of the government, and it is entitled to set the standards for conversion that apply throughout the country.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court's ruling has determined Israeli policy until this very day. Under the status quo, any immigrant to Israel who arrives with a certificate of a Reform conversion is recognized by the government as a Jew; the Interior Ministry does not have the authority to deny them that status. Over the years, there have been occasions when the Reform movement has made gradual progress. For instance, they began advising non-Jews living in Israel to leave the country briefly in order to undergo a conversion and then to return. These "geirim" were offered a course of study in Israel, and they merely completed the process of "giyur" in a Jewish community outside the country. From the perspective of the Reform movement, the introduction of this ploy was a step in the right direction. There were also petitions filed with the Supreme Court for the government to recognize Reform conversions that had been performed in Eretz Yisroel. Their interference caused major hardships for the private botei din in Israel that perform conversions that are subsequently recognized by the Rabbinate. "Are we any less worthy than the bais din of Rav Nissim Karelitz in Bnei Brak?" they demanded in a petition to the court. Today, the courts value equality above all else….
Not long ago, the Reform movement drew attention to the subject of the private Orthodox botei din when they petitioned the Supreme Court to recognize them, along with organizations such as Tzohar Rabbanim, which are known to compromise on various issues in halacha. The Supreme Court accepted the petition to recognize the private botei din, and the Reform movement immediately demanded the same legitimacy for themselves. This, in effect, is what led to the Nissim Report.
Over the years, many petitions have been submitted to the Supreme Court by the private botei din, both the chareidi courts and the more lenient ones, as well as by Reform organizations, all of them demanding official recognition for their conversions. These cases dragged on for a long time, with the state taking the position that there is a difference between conversions performed in the Diaspora and those that take place in Eretz Yisroel: In other countries, there is no single official Jewish community, and the court therefore decided to use the yardstick of a "recognized Jewish community" to determine the validity of a conversion. In Israel, though, the government maintained that the state itself stands in place of an organized communal structure. Since the State of Israel has an official conversion apparatus, it should be considered the sole authority with the power to recognize conversions, whereas private botei din do not have that power.
The government's logic, however, was not accepted by the court. Instead, the judges decided to conduct an experiment of sorts: They recognized Orthodox conversions and thus opened the door to private giyurim. The Reform and Conservative organizations jumped on the opportunity and immediately petitioned the Supreme Court to accept their conversions as well. As could be expected, the court issued a conditional ruling stipulating that the "giyurim" performed by these other movements must be recognized as well. Since it was a conditional ruling, though, it called upon the government to clarify its position.
With that, we found ourselves facing the possibility that the court might recognize Reform conversions in Eretz Yisroel. This ruling set a highly problematic precedent. Of course, we were extremely apprehensive about the outcome.
At that point, we leapt into action. The person who was most relevant to the issue was Aryeh Deri, in his capacity as Minister of the Interior and as a respondent to the petitions to the Supreme Court. Deri quickly enlisted the secretary of the cabinet at the time, Avichai Mandelbit (who has since become the attorney general), as well as the Minister of Justice to work for the cause. They all agreed that it was crucial to put an immediate halt to the process that had begun and to introduce a law that would state clearly that the state would recognize conversions only if they were performed by its official apparatus, under the auspices of the Chief Rabbinate, and that the conversions of private botei din would not receive official recognition. Even though this would harm the private botei din run by rabbonim from the chareidi camp, there was no alternative. This was a necessary step in order to prevent Reform conversions from becoming approved by law.
It is important to note that Moshe Nissim's report also recommended disqualifying private botei din run by chareidi rabbonim from performing conversions, just as it disqualified Reform conversions in Israel. According to the Nissim Report, giyur should be performed only by the Conversion Authority that it proposed establishing. This is certainly an improper equivalence: The report indirectly equates a bais din in Bnei Brak, run by the greatest halachic authorities, with a Reform "bais din" in Hebrew Union College, lehavdil.
The Supreme Court's ruling, as I noted, was a conditional ruling, requiring the government to respond. Aryeh Deri spearheaded the formulation of a bill that would not allow the Reform movement to have any involvement in giyur in the State of Israel. A special meeting of the party chairmen was convened in order to discuss the matter, and the members of the coalition agreed that this was the correct solution. Aryeh Deri pointed out that the country has recently been struggling with the issue of African infiltrators. "What will you do if all those illegal immigrants claim to have converted?" he asked rhetorically. "They will demand legal status in the country." The absurdity of the notion made the dangers of the situation abundantly clear.
Deri brought his bill to the cabinet for its approval. Once the cabinet had given it the green light, the bill was transferred to the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, which allowed it to pass unchallenged. Once that had taken place, the government informed the court that it planned to enact a new law, and that it requested that the court not issue any new rulings on the subject until the legislative process concluded. The court accepted that request.
When the Reform petitioners realized that the chareidi parties were about to pass a law to regulate conversions, they reached an agreement with the prime minister to request an extension of half a year, until January 2018, before the court would issue a ruling. This was despite the fact that the ruling had already been written, and that the panel of justices was headed by Chief Justice Naor, whose attitudes on the subject were very clearly in their favor. The chareidi representatives agreed to the postponement, since the law was intended to prevent a Supreme Court ruling. In the absence of such a ruling, there was no need to change the existing situation.
At that point, the prime minister decided to appoint a committee to determine how to handle the issue. The chareidi leadership was opposed to the idea, since the committee would include chareidim and Reform representatives, and it would be impossible for them to work together. Netanyahu then came up with a different idea: A mediator who was acceptable to all the parties would be chosen to come up with a solution. After several candidates were considered, someone suggested former Justice Minister Moshe Nissim. When he was approached about taking on the responsibility, Nissim refused at first to accept the task. At the same time, he expressed his firm conviction that the Israeli government should recognize only state-sponsored conversions, and not giyurim performed by private botei din. During that conversation, Nissim even commented that he could not understand why parties such as Bayit Yehudi opposed the concept of state-sponsored conversion rather than embracing it, while the chareidi parties supported the notion of giyur being under the auspices of the Zionist government. "It's completely backward," he said.
With that approach in mind, we agreed to Moshe Nissim's appointment. Throughout the process, he continued expressing his support for placing giyur solely under the aegis of the government. As the months went by, though, his attitude changed dramatically. Eventually, it came to light that Moshe Nissim's actions behind the scenes had belied his public statements. His true agenda was actually to use his report in order to quell the controversy and to make matters easier for the prime minister. Nissim even solicited the signatures of a long list of rabbonim to endorse his proposals, even though he was overstepping his authority as a mediator doing so. One of the signatories on the report was MK Elazar Stern of the Yesh Atid party, which was a clear indication of the direction the wind was blowing: There was no question that the report would favor the recognition of non-Orthodox conversions.
In addition, Nissim recommended the establishment of a committee with eleven members who would appoint the dayanim who would serve on the Conversion Authority. Those eleven people would include the Minister of Justice, the chairman of the Knesset Legislative Committee, the chairman of the Jewish Agency, and two public representatives who would be appointed by the Minister of Religious Affairs, with the consent of the director of the Jewish Agency. This would certainly allow the supporters of the Reform movement to influence the committee's decisions. There are other problematic clauses in the proposal as well, but the issues we have mentioned – the official recognition of nonreligious conversions performed overseas, the establishment of a separate Conversion Authority, and the people who would choose the dayanim – were plenty of reason to oppose the bill.
Netanyahu replied that he had received the report only that day, and that he would have to study it and consult with the relevant parties. Therefore, he intended to ask the attorney general to request an extension from the Supreme Court in order to give him a chance to study the issue. Deri replied that he would have to return to his original proposal. The issue was also discussed in the weekly meeting of the party leaders, where Deri made it clear to the entire coalition that Nissim's report was not up for discussion, and that it must be completely rejected. The members of the coalition accepted his stance.
The Reform Jews, of course, are furious. Even though the requirement for government-managed conversion will exclude Orthodox botei din as well as Reform courts, the Reform movement abroad reacted fiercely.
You now have a clear picture of the situation. For the time being, there is a Supreme Court decision pending. If nothing happens, the Supreme Court will probably rule that the conversions of Reform botei din must be recognized. There is also a bill formulated by the chareidi parties, which was prepared long ago, that would deny the Reform movement the ability to perform conversions in Israel, and now there is another new bill that was composed by Moshe Nissim.
What will happen now? Actually, I predict that nothing will happen. The case in the Supreme Court will remain open, no new law will be passed, and the government will simply continue recognizing Reform conversions from abroad, albeit without that recognition being enshrined in law. The Reform movement themselves would prefer that situation. Even Nissim's law, which would perpetuate the current arrangement, would deal a slip in the face to them at the same time. Of course, the chareidim's conversion law would be even more of an affront to them.
As I mentioned, the problems in Nissim's report and his proposed law led the chief rabbis of Israel and the chareidi politicians to inform the prime minister that they rejected it completely. As of now, we are all opposed to Nissim's law. Aryeh Deri has announced that he will continue promoting his original conversion law, which would grant exclusive authority over conversions to the Chief Rabbinate. Netanyahu now understands that he has no alternative. The Nissim report has been thrown out, and the bill formulated by the chareidim is back in.
