The Latest News on Marijuana Decriminalization in Michigan
Will your city vote to decriminalize marijuana this November?
What cities have voted and passed marijuana decriminalization proposals?
Will Michigan be the next state to legalize recreational marijuana? While that answer is still unknown, more and more cites in Michigan are moving to decriminalize it. More and more voters are expressing their voting rights about marijuana.
However, law enforcement officers, even in the cities that have already voted to decriminalize marijuana, have said that they will not adhere to city law. Instead, they have opted to follow state and federal law that states that recreational marijuana is still illegal.
Cities That Have Voted To Decriminalize Marijuana in Michigan
Ann Arbor, Michigan decriminalized marijuana in 1972 after John Lennon and Yoko Ono came to the John Sinclair Freedom rally. John Sinclair was a poet in Detroit when he sold 2 joints to undercover police officers. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison for those 2 joints.
After the rally, it was not long until Sinclair was released. That following year, Ann Arbor voted to decriminalize marijuana, making the possession of two ounces only a $5 ticket. Today that ticket is $25.
For more on this story read, Looking to Ann Arbor, Michigan to Decriminalize Marijuana.
Detroit passed the decriminalization of marijuana for those over the age of 21 possessing an ounce of marijuana. However, it's been reported by the Detroit Free Press that the Police Chief will continue to make marijuana-related arrests.
The residents of Ferndale also passed a similar proposal as to Lansing and Jackson. However, the Detroit Free Press reported that the Ferndale Police chief said that he has "pledged" to following the state and federal law and continuing to make marijuana-related arrests.
According to CBS News, around 60% of voters voted to decriminalize the possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. However, the law enforcement officials in Flint are reporting that because marijuana is still illegal in Michigan and the United States, they will continue their enforcement practices.
With a 58% vote, the residents of Grand Rapids spoke to decriminalize marijuana. However, the city took their time implementing the change. On May 1st, 2013 possessing 2.5 ounces or less of marijuana was made equivalent to a ticket citation.
For more on this story, see our article: Grand Rapids Decriminalizes Pot 6 Months After City's Vote.
According to The Raw Story, the new ordinance Kalamazoo will charge adults over the age of 21 who have been caught with less than one ounce of marijuana a fine of up to $100 and a possible jail sentence of up to 93 days in jail.
Lansing and Jackson
The state's own capital passed a city charter change which, according to mlive.com, legalizes the possession of the use of up to an ounce of marijuana on private property for anyone 21 years and older. Jackson, Michigan passed a similar proposal
This Michigan city passed a proposal by 74% that the consumption of up to one ounce of marijuana would be placed on the lowest priority of law enforcement.
The Next Michigan Cities Looking to Decriminalize Marijuana
Organizers are gathering signatures for decriminalization proposals in the following Michigan cities:
Whether or not Michigan is the next state to legalize recreational marijuana, the fact remains that right now there is a lot of confusion. In some cities, police officers have backed off while others continue to make arrests leading to residents who believed they were doing something permissible spending time in jail.
That is why having a criminal defense attorney that is up to date on the marijuana battle in Michigan is so critical.
So many different proposals are represented here by each city. Do you think there needs to be a change and if so what should the proposal be? Would you pick something similar to Ypsilanti, who made a one ounce or less marijuana-related arrest the lowest priority? Do you think something like what Lansing and Jackson passed making up to one ounce legal for those 21 and older on private property is appropriate? Please let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
If you or someone you know has been arrested due to a marijuana related charge, please contact my office at your earliest convenience.

Researchers: No Proof "Right-To-Work" Laws Help Economy
Filed Under:Bernie Tafoya, Dr. Robert Bruno, Emily Twarog, Right To Work, Right To Work Zones, University of Illinois
CHICAGO (CBS) — A couple University of Illinois researchers have criticized Gov. Bruce Rauner's push to allow communities to vote for "right-to-work zones," saying such a move could weaken their local economies.
On Tuesday, Rauner said one of his priorities in his first year in office is to create what he dubbed "employee empowerment zones," by allowing local communities to vote whether workers must join a union or pay dues as a condition of employment, even in workplaces that are unionized.
Dr. Robert Bruno, professor of labor and employment relations at the University of Illinois, said studies have shown the promises of job growth under so-called "right-to-work" laws are "nebulous."
"There is this appealing idea that, if you simply lower the cost for an employer, there'll be this large increase in employment. Quite frankly, the studies don't suggest that," Bruno said.
Rauner insisted he wasn't pushing for a statewide law like GOP-backed statutes fiercely opposed by Democrats in other states. But he said some communities in union-friendly Illinois could benefit from the flexibility to attract businesses.
"The states that are already growing don't force unionization into their economy," Rauner told an audience at Richland Community College in Decatur, a city he said could benefit from such a plan. "I'm not advocating Illinois becoming a right-to-work state, but I do advocate (for) local governments being allowed to decide whether they're right-to-work zones."

However, Bruno said those who do have jobs under a "right-to-work" system typically are paid less, and that hurts the economy.
"There is a significant loss in income to the state – in the billions of dollars – as a result of right-to-work laws lowering wages," he said. "Of course, when those workers, those citizens, have less money to spend, then it becomes a drag on the overall economy.
Bruno said "right-to-work" laws also make people more reliant on services from the government, which has less money, because workers are paying lower income taxes.
Emily Twarog, an assistant professor of labor and employment relations at the U of I, said the evidence is clear from studies the university has done that "right-to-work" laws are not beneficial to workers.
"There's really been no evidence in any other state where there's right-to-work that demonstrates that right-to-work is beneficial to workers," she said.
Bruno said "right-to-work" laws are good at weakening labor unions, and their ability to negotiate better wages and benefits for workers, as such laws lead to lower unionization rates.

Is Kratom Addictive?
Medically Reviewed by Dr. Mohammed Saeed, MD.
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tree native to Southeast Asia. Its leaves have been used for centuries as an herbal remedy to relieve pain and anxiety and to boost energy. The alkaloids contained in kratom leaves are said to stimulate at low doses and sedate at higher doses. Kratom has been widely promoted as effective at lessening the discomfort of withdrawal from opiates or heroin.
Addiction is defined as a craving or compulsion for a particular substance, thing, or activity. Drug or alcohol addiction causes an actual rewiring of the brain which demands a steady input of the substance. Over time a tolerance develops, so more of the substance is required to achieve the desired effect. When use of the substance is stopped, withdrawal symptoms, sometimes severe, occur.
Can You Get Addicted to Kratom?
Kratom proponents deny that it is addictive. They also state that when kratom use is discontinued it does not lead to withdrawal symptoms unless it has been grossly overused. However, few dispute that kratom can be habit forming, and may cause psychological dependence, if not a physical craving.
The Mayo Clinic holds a different view on kratom use, citing research suggesting the herb can lead to addiction and withdrawal. One six-month study found users developed cravings and experienced withdrawal symptoms when kratom was discontinued. According to the Mayo Clinic, "as with pain medications and recreational drugs, it is possible to overdose on kratom."
Is Kratom a Regulated Substance?
Classified as an herbal or dietary supplement, kratom is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Unless it is proven unsafe or illegally marketed as a treatment for a medical condition, the FDA does not have jurisdiction over it. Although the FDA does not currently restrict the sale of kratom in the U.S., it did ban the import of the substance in 2014.
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) cites kratom as a "drug of concern" but has not yet labeled it as a controlled substance.
Both agencies have issued concerns about the safety of kratom, fearing the potential for addiction and withdrawal effects. While it is legal in many U.S. states, several states and individual cities have banned kratom. In 2017 the DEA announced its plan to designate kratom as a Schedule 1 drug, rather than as an herbal supplement, which would have necessitated it be federally regulated. But due to a public outcry, the DEA reversed that decision. However, both the DEA and the FDA continue to voice concerns over kratom use.
It's difficult to definitively state whether kratom is addictive. Over time, the use of kratom may cause cravings, which could be classified as an addiction. It remains unclear as to whether kratom rewires receptors in the brain as happens with opioids and other addictive substances.

I'm breaking the blogger rules posting too many times. But I do love the reading of John 1. I was just imagining the apostle John, saying and teaching this history to perhaps the Churches he writes to listed in the second chapter of Revelation we read earlier.
Ever wonder what Jesus saw Nathanael doing under the fig tree…was he reading, praying or what? Does it have something to do with having "no guile"?
"R. Jacob, and his companions, were "sitting", studying in the law, תחות חדא תאינה, "under a certain fig tree".
"he that prays on the top of an olive tree, or on the top of a "fig tree", or on any other trees, must come down, and "pray below".

Q: Regex to match everything but limit certain characters I have php code that asks for a search-term, splits it, and generates a regex to match (and highlight) the pattern. For example:
If I enter ou, it generates following pattern: (o)(.*)(u). It then replaces it with $1$2$3.
In following data
boau #fie diu1^^j dauijz16 abc123 wwx,usq

this would have the following effect:
boau #fie diu1^^j dauijz16 abc123 wwx,usq

The problem is that I would like to be able to limit for example the number of spaces allowed in the match. For example, if I limit spaces to 3, that would have following result:
boau #fie diu1^^j dauijz16 abc123 wwx,usq

Or a limit of 3 spaces an max 1 ^:
boau #fie diu1^^j dauijz16 abc123 wwx,usq

Or, don't allow any digits:
boau #fie diu1^j dauijz16 abc123 wwx,usq

So I would like to be able to enter the pattern to search for, and specify a separate limit for certain characters, I have no idea on how to do this though. I think it'll have something to do with a lookahead, but I can't figure out how to use those.

A: To limit the number of spaces, I'd use:
(o)((?:\S*\s){0,3}\S*)(u)

Here is a perl script that uses it:
my $re = qr/(o)((?:\S*\s){0,3}\S*)(u)/;
my $str = 'boau #fie d iu1^^j dauij z16 abc123 wwx,usq';
$str =~ s!$re!$1$2$3!;
say $str;

output:
boau #fie d iu1^^j dauij z16 abc123 wwx,usq

Explanation:
The regular expression:

(?-imsx:(o)((?:\S*\s){0,3}.*?)(u))

matches as follows:

A: You have asked quite a few questions here.
I am going to answer the one that appears most complex i.e. if I limit spaces to 3:
You can use this regex:
$s = 'boau #fie diu1^^j dauijz16 abc123 wwx,usq';
$r = preg_replace('/(o)((?:[^ ]* ){0,3}[^ u]*)(u)/', "$1$2$3", $s);
//=> boau #fie diu1^^j dauijz16 abc123 wwx,usq

Explanation:
1st Capturing group (o)
o matches the character o literally (case sensitive)
2nd Capturing group ((?:[^ ]* ){0,3}[^ u]*)
(?:[^ ]* ){0,3} Non-capturing group
Quantifier: Between 0 to 3 times
[^ ]* match a single character not present in the list below
Quantifier: Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back
as needed [greedy]
  the literal character
  matches the character   literally
[^ u]* match a single character not present in the list below
Quantifier: Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back
as needed [greedy]
 u a single character in the list  u literally (case sensitive)
3rd Capturing group (u)
u matches the character u literally (case sensitive)

This output matches with your expected result. I hope you can use the same approach and build regex for other parts of your questions with this.

A: You can make use of negated classes:
(o)((?:[^ ]* ){0,3}[^ ]*)(u)

For limiting at 3 spaces.
regex101 demo
(o)(\D*)(u)

For no digits. \D matches any character except digits. Note that it is equivalent to the negated class: [^\d].
The second requirement is much more complex than the above two:
(o)([^ ^]*(?:(\^)|( ))?[^ ^]*(?(3) |(?:( )|(\^)))?[^ ^]*(?(6) |(?:( )|(\^)))?[^ ^]*(?(8) |\^)?[^ ^]*)(u)

It tries to match either a ^ or a space and depending on what it captures, it will decide whether it can match another space or caret or none.
regex101 demo
This regex makes use of conditional groups, which is not supported by all regex engines.
As you can see, one limitation is quite easy, but multiple will be getting out of hand quickly. I would suggest a state machine if you have multiple conditions, for example, in pseudo code:
match first character "o"
substring = "o"

statecaret = 0
statespace = 0

for (check next character)
    if character == "^"
        statecaret = statecaret + 1
    else if character == " "
        statespace = statespace + 1

    if (statecaret = 2 || statespace = 4)
        break and reject character
    else
        add character to substring

find last "u" in substring

Steven L. Phillips
Westminster Police Department
On the afternoon of January 29, 2004 the City of Westminister lost its first police officer "In the Line of Duty" in the forty-six year history of the Department and California lost its first officer "In the Line of Duty" in the New Year.
Motor Officer Steven L. Phillips; forty-six years old, a 17-year veteran of the Department was on routine traffic enforcement duty when his motorcycle collided with a sedan at an intersection in the City. The sedan, operated by Ly Xuan Ngo, a seventy-one year old resident of Garden Grove was apparently negotiating a left turn in the path of Officer Phillips when the collision occurred. Tragically, the driver of the sedan suffered massive injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Officer Phillips, also critically injured, was transported to a Huntington Beach hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
In honor of Officer Phillips, flags were flown at half-staff in the City of Westminister and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered the American and State Flags that fly over the Capitol to half-staff in honor of the fallen officer.
Steven Phillips was a native Californian, born in Los Angeles and educated there. Destined to serve his country and his community, upon graduation from high school, he joined the United States Air Force where he served for four years a military policeman. Upon completion of his tour of duty he remained as an active reservist in the 30th Security Forces Squadron. Following the events of September 11, 2001 he was called back to active duty and served with distinction for another year. Having a strong desire to serve his community, on August 5, 1986 he embarked on his career as a police officer in the City of Westminister.
Office Phillips will be remembered by his fellow officers as "a quick-witted, easy going individual, who loved being a motor officer". One of his fellow officers, Bill Arganda, described him as being "very experienced and extremely well liked. He made the job fun and he was a good spirited, great guy". Steve was the recipient of numerous commendations for outstanding, professional service to the community. He was highly respected for his 12 years as a motor officer, mentoring and training younger officers, instilling in them the same passion for the job that he possessed.
On the morning of February 6 more than 2,000 uniformed peace officers representing jurisdictions statewide joined members of the Phillips family, civic leaders and fellow officers at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove to honor and memorialize an outstanding peace officer, a great American.
Westminister Chief of Police Andy Hall eulogized Steven Phillips as "a man who was faithful and true to his country, his marriage, the shield he wore so proudly, his friends and his fellow employees. His is truly a good life to celebrate".
Attorney General Bill Lockyer was once again in attendance offering condolences on behalf of the people of California.
Officer Phillips is survived by his wife Sandy, his father and two brothers.
The Phillips family asked that any contributions in remembrance of Steven be made to the Steve Phillips Memorial Fund, WPOA, and P.O. Box 845, Westminister, CA 92684.

While living in an agriculturally rich region like Sacramento, it's only right to source straight from local farms. After all, we have an abundance of small, family-owned farms operating in our midst! To avoid traversing through the mud to a barn to hand pick your own eggs, we compiled a list of places in the area where you can access local eggs and meat every day of the week.
We believe strongly in supporting the livelihood of local farms using ethical practices to raise top-quality meat and producing fresh eggs. Join us by making a point to source locally during your weekly grocery trip! These neighborhood stores will make that process even easier.
Located just west of Auburn in the sunny Sierra Nevada foothills of Placer County, Long Dream Farm is a family-owned and -operated farm rethinking dairy and farming — from the animal's perspective. They sell a range of products, including dairy from heritage breed cows and eggs from pasture-raised chickens. The approach to food production at Long Dream Farm places the rights, lifestyle and happiness of the farm animals before anything else. Plus, the farmers are passionate about educating people who are interested in ethical, diversified food production.
Check out the farm store, where you'll find medium, large and extra-large eggs for sale in a beautiful rainbow of colors!
Located in Rio Linda, The ReFarmery is an open-source project merging responsible semi-urban agriculture with found resource repurposing. With a passion for making use of every square foot available, The ReFarmery is proving that local food, community support and sustainable living are the future.
Become a CSA member with The ReFarmery to receive a wide selection of eggs, vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers. The eggs will be of the highest quality, as their chickens roam free with about 50 square feet of outdoor space per chicken, and are fed a corn-free, soy-free, non-GMO, whole-grain diet.
V. Miller Meats is a relatively new craft butchery in the heart of East Sacramento. This specialty butcher shop is dedicated to preserving the craft of whole animal butchery and narrowing the gap between the consumer and their food source.
You know what else they are passionate about? Sourcing from local farms. V. Miller sources from Skyelark Ranch in Capay Valley for eggs, Stemple Creek Ranch in Marin County for grass-fed beef,Rancho Llano Seco in Chico for humanely raised pork, and Emigh Lamb in Dixon for lamb.
Since 1992, the Sinclair family has lived in Placer County, and in 1998, their daughter's choice for her 4H project got the family involved with producing sheep. And the rest is history! Today, the Sinclair Family Farm raises pastured beef, pork, goat, lamb, chicken, rabbit, and eggs on their expansive property in Penryn.
Call ahead to place an order for pick-up or make an appointment to browse their products in person at their 7209 Church Street location. You can also find Sinclair Family Farm products at a few local spots, including the Auburn and Roseville Farmers' Markets. The Sinclair Family Farm also delivers once monthly through their Sierra Foothill Producers in Granite Bay, Folsom, Penryn, and the Tahoe region.
Family Friendly Farms has a beautiful story of family, faith, and ultimately — farming. Nestled at the end of a private road surrounded by hills in Grass Valley, this family-owned farm raises a wide array of animals in humane conditions with lots of room to roam. The family (with seven kids!) works closely together to monitor the products for quality of nutrition, tenderness, and flavor. After all, they too eat the products they sell!
Explore the online store, where you'll find a range of options, including grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, bacon and sausage, free-range chicken, meadow-grass lamb and more. Family Friendly Farms ships directly to homes throughout California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, and operates neighborhood deliveries to a number of areas, including Sacramento!
Yolo Land & Cattle Co. is one of the best sources for grass-fed beef in the region. This family-owned ranch is nestled in the Blue Ridge Hills of Western Yolo County, just outside of Woodland. The cattle roaming throughout the ranch are fed a diet consisting of grass — and grass alone! That means they do not receive any artificial supplements, antibiotics, or hormones.
The beef is harvested, cut, and wrapped in a small USDA-inspected facility. It is dry-aged for about 7–10 days to achieve the ultimate tenderness. It is then cut into individual cuts, vacuum-packed, and flash frozen to maintain its high quality and freshness. Place your order to experience this top-of-the-line grass-fed beef!
Perhaps the best source for locally raised eggs and meat is your neighborhood farmers' market. There are over 20 farmers' markets throughout the Sacramento area, meeting at various times throughout the week. So no matter what day it is, you are sure to find a market near you.
Use our interactive farmers' market map to make your search easier! Most markets offer a variety of local eggs and meat in addition to an abundance of fresh produce and baked goods to complete your farm-fresh meal.

This natural and organic grocery store serves everything you'll need to stock your pantry and fridge, including produce, bulk food, packaged food, deli food, and a wide selection of meats and seafood. Sprouts focuses on local as much as possible, which is easier in areas that are agriculturally rich year-round (that certainly includes Sacramento!).

Hayat Ullah received the award certificate from Dr.Thomas Oberthür, Director, IPNI (Southeast Asia Program) at a function organized at AIT on 9 August 2018.
Conferring the award, Dr. Thomas Oberthür complimented Hayat Ullah stating that the award is competitive as the submissions undergo a rigorous review and selection process. Elaborating on IPNI, he stated that they are a science-based organization dedicated to the responsible management of plant nutrition. The "4R" framework at IPNI suggests application of the 'right' amount of nutrients at the right' time, at the 'right' place, and from the 'right' source.
Hayat Ullah is among 37 graduate students, representing 20 countries, who were chosen to receive the award, and he is the only awardee from Southeast Asia. Mr. Hayat Ullah is working on his Ph.D. on the topic "Evaluation of Different Nutrient Management Strategies for Rice Cultivation in the Context of Decreasing Water Availability" at AIT. The award includes a certificate as well as a cash award of $2000.
While awarding, IPNI stated that Hayat's research was designed" to evaluate different possible nutrient management strategies for rice, a staple food in Asia, under different water saving cultivation techniques." One of his goals for the future is to meet an expanding demand for plant health management specialists to promote food security and food safety on a global scale, the statement by IPNI added.

A faithful friend recommended a speaker/writer for Forthright. I went to the person's website, and when I want to know what a person believes and what direction he leans, the first place I go is to the links section. Dito e feito.* Lots of "progressive" links, and of the worst kind. He didn't show any tendencies in his website that I could see, because of the subject matter. But the links gave him away. So I'll pass on this guy, as far as publishing his material.

65th art of the northeast
THE CURATORS:
Download the digital catalogue
_Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam founded and oversee two artist project spaces in the Midwest: The Suburban (est. 1999) in Oak Park Il and the Poor Farm (Est. 2009) in rural Northeast Wisconsin. Killam is an Associate Professor of Art at College of DuPage and Grabner is a Professor in the Painting and Drawing Department at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Michelle Grabner also co-curated the 2014 Whitney Biennial.
A note from the curators:
Contemporary art is shaped by an ever-widening orbit of ideas, materials and context. The lines that once demarcated a hierarchical separation between the crafts and the fine arts, between regional locations and cultural centers are negligible. This is based on the speed and circulation of information, especially the jpeg. The result is the collapse of traditional boundaries yielding networked systems of engagement and complex forms of art-making; Moreover creating vast and diverse audiences.
The work submitted to the 65th Annual Art of the Northeast Exhibition reflects the multitudinous contours of contemporary art. In an effort to slow down and to award close and prolong viewing, much of the work that we enthusiastically gravitated to continues Modernism's interest in formal abstraction and material exploration. Yet storytelling, the aesthetic of wonder (including observations of the natural world), and Pop and vernacular motifs are also powerfully represented in our juried endeavor.
In our selection, one can identify a privileging of foundational forms. Abstraction and elemental vocabulary is the basis of all forms of knowledge. It was a great delight for us to observe the many ways artists employ primary language as a means to achieve complexity in idea and form. Because it is said that we are living in an age of distraction, attention is an exceedingly valued human state. That is the quality we attempted to identify in the work we selected from the many extraordinary submissions. We were looking for work that represented an ethics of attention that reflects our cultural time.
—Michell Grabner and Brad Killam, May 2015
about the exhibition:
Begun in 1949 as the "New England Exhibition," the competition was founded by Silvermine Guild Members Miriam Brody and Revington Arthur to showcase the art of the region. Over the years, the exhibit has presented works by emerging and under-known artists, giving them a platform to reach a much larger audience than ever before.
Utilizing all of our galleries, AoNE is a prestigious and popular annual exhibition, and a focal point of the Center's calendar year. In 2014, artists from Washington. D.C to Maine have submitted over 500 entries. The winner receives a top prize of $3,000 and a solo exhibition at Silvermine Arts Center.
Well-known curators of AoNE have included art critics, artists, curators and directors representing major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, The New Museum and the Whitney Museum.
Thank you to our sponsors:
The Silvermine Arts Center acknowledges, with gratitude, the following corporate sponsors for their support of the arts and for their contributions to this exhibition.

Home Severe Asthma Severe Asthma Attacks / Exacerbations / Flare-ups
Asthma is characterised by day-to-day variation in symptoms. Sometimes a person's symptoms progressively worsen over time, and lung function decreases, to the extent that a change in their treatment is needed to avoid serious outcomes. This worsening may occur over minutes or hours (Elliot et al. 2009), but more often over several days or sometimes even weeks. Significant worsenings are termed asthma attacks.
Attacks (also called flare-ups or exacerbations) are common in uncontrolled asthma, including in patients with severe asthma. They are commonly associated with eosinophilic inflammation in the airways (Jayaram et al. 2006). Virus infections are also a common cause of lung attacks and these are associated with neutrophilic inflammation in the airways (Wark et al. 2002).
Signs and Symptoms of an Asthma Attack
Prior to a severe asthma attack, a person with asthma may experience a period of gradual worsening, or attacks may follow exposure to specific triggers, which vary between different people. These triggers include viral or bacterial infection, exposure to an allergen to which the patient is sensitised, occupational sensitisers, stress, or poor adherence with inhaled preventer therapy. Viral exacerbations are associated with a temporary reduction in response to inhaled beta 2-agonists (Reddel et al. 1999). Epidemics of severe asthma attacks can occur amongst people with allergic rhinitis (with or without a history of asthma) who are sensitised to rye grass pollen, when a thunderstorm-associated with updraft and outflow occurs during high rye grass pollen levels (Girgis et al. 2000, Marks et al. 2001).
Asthma attacks should prompt a review of the patient's asthma management, as they are burdensome and risky for patients and, in patients not taking inhaled preventers, can lead to greater decrease in lung function (Bai et al. 2007, O'Byrne et al. 2009). Medications should also be reviewed. For more information see Living with Severe asthma – Experience of Attacks
It is asthma that remains uncontrolled despite treatable factors having been addressed and maximal inhaled therapy being taken regularly.

(Great River Romance #1)
By Kari Trumbo
Christian Contemporary Romance
July 26, 2019 by Inked in Faith Publications
What if you fell in love with a man you'd never met?
When marketing coordinator Liberty Dryden tries to help radio station owner and DJ Tom Higgs attract new listeners and advertisers, she hits a roadblock.
He refuses to meet with her, and she has no idea why.
Tom has an affliction that's plagued him his whole life—a painfully crippling stutter. On air, he can speak to thousands, but in person, he stumbles to find every word.
After a woman stalked him, he's convinced his fame and fortune are all women want. He's unable to tell Liberty why he won't meet in person. How could he explain his unfounded doubts and his own issues?
Without her, disaster looms for his station. But, meeting her might prove he's right about women.
Liberty takes matters into her own hands and calls into his radio show… using an assumed name.
She never expects to hit it off with him. If she reveals her secret, it will put her new relationship and her job at risk.

SINCERELY YOURS is a story about two people who find that their lives have become very lonely and secluded. They connect over the phone which leads to the possibility of more, but one of them pretends to be someone else and the other has an issue he's trying to hide. The happily-ever-after ending faces additional challenges with characters who need others to need them and depression. There are some inspirational elements and a light romance for inspirational romance fans.
It took me a bit to get into this story. From the start I felt like this wasn't the first book in the series as there was some background on some side characters who were involved from the beginning and I think it would have worked better to be introduced to the heroine before introducing all the other characters. I did like both Liberty and Tom and started to get more into their story as I read on. I liked that they were both feeling like something was lacking in their lives and had the opportunity to help each other break out of their loneliness.
However, a little over a third of the way through, the story turned awkward for me. The whole situation with Liberty calling Tom on the radio and then them continuing phone conversations and falling in love... it just didn't work for me. Then there were these awkward statements, like: "I really love to help people, to love the unlovable, but she is so sweet." What does that say about the heroine or the person she's talking about? It just rubbed me wrong. No one wants to be a project or be labelled as unlovable (plus I think that statement is just wrong) and the person she was referring to I wouldn't have categorized as unlovable, sweet for sure though. Another example would be: "Then Destiny wouldn't need her anymore, either. Hopefully she'd quickly find someone new to help." And if you're the kind of person who only reaches out to people you feel need you or who are lonely, what does that say about you? Honestly I felt Liberty needed a lot of help that romance wasn't or shouldn't just "fix." It sends the wrong message to those who might be struggling with loneliness or depression that they need someone else to make them happy. So I think that just made me fall out of love with Liberty and then the whole situation with Tom. It was just weird and didn't feel like it developed naturally. Also, the whole time Tom was marking off the similarities between April and Liberty and she was outright being dishonest, on purpose. And then there was a lot of drama towards the end (some of it quite public), which I'm not a huge fan of. It all worked out and ends sweetly, of course. I think there was a lot of potential here, but again, this story just didn't work for me.
In the end, was it what I wished for? This wasn't my kind of story, but other inspirational romance readers or fans of the author may enjoy it.

More from Kari
Thank you all so much for joining me on my blog tour! I'm happy to be here. I write an eclectic mix of historical (western) and contemporary (western and not) romance, sometimes with a hint of suspense woven in. I can't help it; my education is a degree in psychology with a sociology minor focusing on criminality and deviance… the suspense just happens whether I plan it or not.
I am one of those writers who usually gets a story idea and then writes it. I usually don't write a book just because I "should". That being said, this is one of those books where readers asked for it and I delivered. The first story in the series is in a popular book bundle Betwixt Two Hearts. In my story, the secondary character Liberty Dryden (named after one of my readers) is a really fun character, even though she's only in a few scenes. Readers liked her so much, they wanted her to have her own happily ever after.
Then the hard part began.
I liked Liberty and I spent a while in her head, trying to figure her out. She was a tough one because Liberty has some hurts. She feels alone and a little used. Don't we all? But how to write that in a way where the reader wasn't bored by her self-doubt. Because, let's face it, it's cool when a story touches us in a way that is familiar, but if it's overdone…snooze. I liked the idea that because of their hurts, both characters were shy. So, I gave myself a challenge. These two couldn't meet until later in the story, but it still had to feel like a romance.
It's a little like the movie You've Got Mail, but different too.
This series was my first big step outside of the western genre (which is funny, because I'm not at all western) and that forced me to think in new ways, which helped with the characters and bringing this story to life.
My favorite poignant quote from Sincerely Yours is, "If I can't forgive those who ask for it, it ruins my witness. I literally can't be the love of Jesus if I'm not willing to forgive those who wronged me. Especially if they earnestly ask."
Thank you for joining me and happy reading!

Home>Opinion>Fiduciary duty: great power, great responsibility
Fiduciary duty: great power, great responsibility
May 6, 2015 | 12.25pm
As the landscape for investment changes rapidly, so too does the notion of fiduciary duty. Fiona Reynolds, managing director of PRI, argues that using the status quo as a reason not to adapt to changing perceptions and new demands from investors is no longer possible or acceptable. The PRI will publish a fiduciary duty roadmap for long-term investment, in conjunction with the UNEP FI, UN Global Compact and UNEP Inquiry, this autumn.
Fiduciary duty was one of the recurring themes at the Fiduciary Investors Symposium held at Oxford University from April 19-21.
Fiduciary duty exists to protect the interests of beneficiaries. In the pensions fund world, one of its roles is to protect beneficiaries' retirement funds from conflicts of interest with the trustees and asset managers who take care of the trust funds.
In today's increasingly complex financial and economic world, the decision-making process by trustees has become ever more challenging. One of these challenges has been the increasing importance of evaluating so called "non-financial" considerations such as environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, which has added another layer to the decision-making process.
Fiduciary duty is often given as the reason for why pension funds decline to look at ESG issues, with trustees declaring that their only responsibility is to look at financial data.
However, recent studies have broadened the interpretation of fiduciary duty away from the narrow confines of past definitions, and have emphasised that there is no conflict between fiduciary duty and ESG considerations, with a growing recognition, that ESG issues are in fact financially material to a portfolio.
If the economic downturn has taught us anything, it's that merely looking at financial performance is insufficient to give a full picture of a company's health. Financial performance does not tell us, for example, if a company is dumping toxic waste, mis-managing their tax exposure or dealing with supply chain risks—issues that can have enormous impact on both the company's reputation and share price.
Ten years ago, the landmark UNEP FI (United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative) report, "The Integration of Environmental, Social and Governance Issues into Institutional Investment" was published.
The report concluded that 'integrating ESG considerations so as to more reliably predict financial performance is clearly permissible and is–arguably required – in all jurisdictions.'
The freshfields report added that when exercising their powers, trustees must take into account all relevant considerations and ignore any irrelevant considerations.
This is the duty of adequate deliberation, and concerns the nature of trustees' decision-making process rather than the scope of the power itself. There are no "hard and fast rules" as to what might be relevant. For example, it is fairly well settled that the tax consequences of a decision will usually be relevant.
The findings of the freshfields report were crystallised in a study released in 2014 by the UK Law Commission, which looked at how the law of fiduciary duties applies to investment intermediaries and to evaluate whether the law works in the interests of the ultimate beneficiaries.
Prior to the Law Commission report, the Kay Review of UK Equity Markets, published in July 2012, found that investment chains were too long, with growing numbers of intermediaries between an investor and the company in which they invest. Professor Kay argued that this led to increased costs, misaligned incentives and reduced trust.
According to Professor Kay, who also spoke at the Fiduciary Investors Symposium, the central problem was "short-termism", in which many investment managers "traded" on the basis of short-term movements in share price rather than "investing" on the basis of the fundamental value of the company.
Furthermore, shareholders did little to control bad company decisions. To overcome the spectre of short-termism, Professor Kay recommended calling an end to quarterly company reporting, and the focus on short-term corporate performance.
Last year, The Financial Conduct Authority in the UK scrapped the rule requiring public firms to release interim management statements, as part of the Government's push to encourage more long-term thinking in the stock markets.
Fiduciary duty and climate change
We know that climate change is one of the biggest issues facing investors in the coming years. Given that trustees are legally required to look at risks in their investment strategy and prudently manage those risks, climate considerations must be a part of this framework.
For example, if a trustee was to consider investing in an energy company, it is part of their fiduciary duty to consider the long-term risks associated with such an investment and focus attention on investments on companies, for example, that invest in renewable energy and are trying to achieve emissions efficiency.
When we think of pension funds, with their long investment horizons, there is also an obligation to manage risks and look at investments over the longer horizon. This means looking at all risks, including climate change.
Despite the outcry from those in the anti-climate change camp, climate change has now been recognised by myriad experts as a real and present danger.
According to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, "The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is now and is a global threat to societies." And in 2013, a new survey in the journal Environmental Research Letters of more than 12,000 peer-reviewed climate science papers, the most comprehensive survey of its kind, found that 97 per cent of scientists agree that global warming is manmade.
In Australia, a majority of surveys show that most Australian trustees now believe that addressing climate risk is part of their fiduciary duty. (The Climate Institute and Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees, Asset Owners Disclosure Project (Australia) Funds Survey Results, 2011). So like it or not, climate change and its concurrent risks are a reality as is the economic materiality of climate risk.
Not recognising the financial consequences of climate change is a clear breach of fiduciary duty.
Finally, trustees must recognise that the rapid growth of the pensions industry worldwide is leading to changing expectations regarding long-term sustainability and the way in which investments should be made. Using the status quo as a reason not to adapt to changing perceptions and new demands from investors is no longer possible or acceptable.
This autumn, PRI will be publishing a report, in conjunction with the UNEP FI, UN Global Compact and the UNEP inquiry, covering fiduciary duty across eight geographies—US, UK, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Brazil, Japan and Australia.
We hope that this report will serve as a global roadmap – or action plan – for long term investment including ESG integration across the financial services sector and help to finally eliminate the remaining barriers around ESG and fiduciary duty.

Prince Andrew's Close Relationship With Ghislaine Maxwell Is the Royal Family's Latest Scandal
The Queen's son is facing scrutiny following Maxwell's arrest.
By Caroline Hallemann
Prince Andrew has yet to publicly comment on his friend Ghislaine Maxwell's arrest. She was taken into custody in early July on six counts related to the sexual abuse and trafficking of minors and lying to investigators. If convicted, she faces up to 35 years in prison.
But the Queen's son's silence on the matter hasn't stopped the press from zeroing in on their friendship as the royal family's latest scandal.
Prince Andrew was already under immense publicly scrutiny over his association with convicted sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was arrested almost exactly one year ago on multiple sex trafficking charges and died by suicide in jail before his trial could begin.
Now, Maxwell's court case has thrust Prince Andrew even further into that unwanted spotlight. Here, take a look at the royal's history with Epstein's alleged accomplice.
Maxwell has been friends with Prince Andrew for decades.
Few details about the beginning of Prince Andrew's relationship with Maxwell have been made public, but in 1999, she reportedly introduced the royal to Epstein, and the trio were photographed several times together in 2000, including at the Royal Ascot horse races (above, Maxwell is in green) and at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.
During Prince Andrew's sit-down interview with Newsnight last November, he also confirmed that Epstein had been a guest at both Windsor Castle and at a "shooting weekend" at Sandringham in 2000, explaining that Maxwell was "the key element in this."
Epstein, he said, "was the, as it were, plus one, to some extent in that aspect."

During that same broadcast, Prince Andrew shared that he cut ties with Epstein during a trip to New York in 2010, when the two men were photographed walking in the park together. By then, Epstein was already a convicted sex-offender.
"I went to see him and I was doing a number of other things in New York at the time and we had an opportunity to go for a walk in the park and that was the conversation coincidentally that was photographed which was when I said to him, I said, 'Look, because of what has happened, I don't think it is appropriate that we should remain in contact,'" Andrew explained.
"By mutual agreement during that walk in the park we decided that we would part company and I left, I think it was the next day and to this day I never had any contact with him from that day forward."
In contrast, Andrew said he had in touch with Maxwell within the past year, having spoken to her "before July," ahead of Epstein's arrest. But the conversation, he says, didn't turn to their mutual friend.
"There wasn't anything to discuss about him because he wasn't in the news, you know, it was just… we had moved on," he said.

Epstein's alleged victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre alleges she was trafficked to Prince Andrew in Maxwell's home.
Giuffre says Maxwell told her "to do for [Prince Andrew] what you do for Epstein." Giuffre also alleges that she and Prince Andrew had sex multiple times, including once at Maxwell's home, a claim Prince Andrew denies.
"I have no recollection of meeting her," Prince Andrew said in the Newsnight interview. Buckingham Palace also issued a statement on Prince Andrew's behalf addressing Giuffre's allegations. It reads:
"It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation."
Watch the full Newsnight interview here:
What does Maxwell's case mean for Prince Andrew?
In short, it's unclear at this point—but he's certainly someone investigators would like to talk to.
During the press conference following Maxwell's arrest, Audrey Strauss, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, was asked a question regarding Prince Andrew.
"I'm not going to comment on anyone's status in this investigation but I will say that we would welcome Prince Andrew coming in to talk with us, we would like to have the benefit of his statement," she said.
"I have no further comment beyond what I just said, which is that our doors remain open, as we previously said, and we would welcome him coming in and giving us an opportunity to hear his statement."

Previously, Prince Andrew publicly said that he was "willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations, if required," and the Prince's legal team at Blackfords, stated that he had "offered his assistance as a witness" in investigations regarding Epstein's crimes three times this year.
But Strauss's predecessor, Geoffrey S. Berman, responded to the statement from Blackfords with a Tweet revealing that the Prince "has not given an interview to federal authorities, has repeatedly declined our request to schedule such an interview, and nearly four months ago informed us unequivocally - through the very same counsel who issued today's release - that he would not come in for such an interview."
In early July, the New York Times reported that Prince Andrew's lawyers had spoken with "a Washington lobbyist with ties to the Trump administration about the possibility of assisting the prince with fallout from his relationship with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein." But sources close to Andrew's team have denied there were talks.
What's the story with those photos of Maxwell on a throne?
On July 3, the Telegraph published photos taken in 2002 of Ghislaine Maxwell and Kevin Spacey sitting on thrones in Buckingham Palace. These red chairs belong to the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, and were used during the Queen's coronation. Per the publication, Maxwell and Spacey "were invited into the throne room on a private tour of the Palace organised by the Duke of York, a close friend of Ms Maxwell's."
Maxwell was reportedly at the Palace that day as Andrew's guest, and Spacey was there with former President Bill Clinton.
Neither Buckingham Palace nor Prince Andrew or his legal team has responded to this image being made public, but in 2017, Andrew said he had "no recollection" of the tour, and the Palace would not comment "on speculation about any private meeting of any member of the royal family."
"Going anywhere near the thrones is a total no-no," a source told reporter Roya Nikkhah.
"If a member of staff did, there would be disciplinary action. The Queen would not have been amused."
