The Edge Performs Leonard Cohen Song at The Sistine Chapel
Mike Crisolago | May 2nd, 2016
While hymnal echoes certainly wouldn't sound out of place in the Sistine Chapel, we aren't sure how many heavenly choirs know all the words to U2 songs. Luckily, the band's lead guitarist, The Edge, was on hand at the iconic Vatican City locale on Friday to help out. The U2 star, real name David Evans, 54, became the first performer ever to stage a contemporary concert of sorts beneath the Sistine Chapel's frescoed ceiling when he performed in conjunction with a conference called Cellular Horizons, during which a gathering of scientists and medical professionals discussed cancer-fighting regenerative medicines.
The Edge, with the backing of an Irish choir, played four songs, including Leonard Cohen's "If It Be Your Will" and three U2 tunes: "Ordinary Love," "Walk On," "Yahweh."
"When they asked me if I wanted to become the first contemporary artist to play in the Sistine Chapel, I didn't know what to say," he quipped, "because usually there's this other guy [U2's Bono] who sings."
The cause, meanwhile, is one close to The Edge's heart, as his daughter battled leukemia and his father passed away from cancer. Pope Francis, whom The Edge called "the people's pope," was unable to attend, though the guitarist exclaimed, "He's doing an amazing job and long may he continue" and dedicated the song "Walk On" to him.
See The Edge perform Leonard Cohen's "If It Be Your Will" at The Sistine Chapel below.

Heat waves are extended periods of extreme heat, often accompanied by high humidity. These conditions can be dangerous and even life-threatening for humans who don't take the proper precautions. Heat kills by pushing the human body beyond its limits. In extreme heat and high humidity, evaporation is slowed and the body must work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature. Learn how to prepare for and survive a heat wave by following a few simple rules based on FEMA protocols.

Stephen Louis Sax (born January 29, 1960) is an American former second baseman in Major League Baseball. He was a right-handed batter for the Los Angeles Dodgers (1981–88), New York Yankees (1989–91), Chicago White Sox (1992–93), and the Oakland Athletics (1994).
Sax starred at James Marshall High school (now known as River City High School) in West Sacramento from 1975 to 1978 before being drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 6, 1978 in the ninth round of the 1978 Amateur Draft 1978. Sax was a late season call up in 1981, playing 29 games. Sax broke into the majors as a regular in 1982, earning the National League Rookie of the Year award. Throughout his career, Sax was on the All-Star team five times and had a batting average over .300 in three seasons. He had great success on the basepaths, stealing over 40 bases in six seasons for a career total of 444 stolen bases. He also set the Yankees team record for most singles in a season (171 in 1989).
Sax has two World Series rings, both with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981 and 1988. Sax was also a higher-up in the Players Association during his career. He controversially opined that major league players should not speak to or assist anyone who was a replacement player during the infamous 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike and later joined a club when the strike had ended. He also opined that such players should be denied pensions by the union.
Though never regarded as one of the top fielding second basemen in the league, Steve Sax inexplicably became incapable of making routine throws to first base in 1983, committing 30 errors that season. This is referred to in baseball terminology as "Steve Sax Syndrome", the fielder's variant of "Steve Blass disease," named after the Pirates pitcher who suffered a similar breakdown of basic mechanics (also known as "The Yips"). As his accuracy suffered, fans sitting behind the first base dugout began wearing batting helmets as mock protection. (Teammate Pedro Guerrero, an outfielder pressed into service at third base in 1983, once reportedly stated that his first thought whenever he was in the field was "I hope they don't hit it to me", while his second thought was "I hope they don't hit it to Sax.") by 1989, however, Sax seemed to be completely "cured", leading the American League in both fielding percentage and double plays.
After Steve's playing career ended in 1994, he has been involved in various ventures, including working as a baseball analyst on television. He is currently piloting a new sports networking site called allsportsconnection.com. Sax has made television cameos, including the famous Homer at the Bat episode of The Simpsons, as well as episodes of Square Pegs, Who's the Boss, Hollywood Squares and Sabrina The Teenage Witch. He has also been on the Fox News show Hannity.
Steve is focused on fitness and took the initiative to sponsor and develop a tool for athletes to form teams, post local events, and find places to play. Memberships are free to the public as a means to combat sedentary lifestyles and afford everyone an opportunity to compete at any level.
He briefly ran for a seat in the California State Assembly 5th District as a Republican in 1996. Sax later dropped out of the race, when his divorce became publicized. In the mid-1990s, he was a part-owner of a nightclub and restaurant called the Twin Palms, located in Folsom, California. A black belt, he was also a part-owner of a martial arts studio in Roseville, California.
He worked as a financial consultant for RBC Dain Rauscher, LLC, in their Roseville, California office. He had approximately 25 to 30 clients, including several athletes. He was a partner in the Sax/Hinman Sports Professional Group at RBC Dain Rauscher providing professional wealth management for sports professionals at every level of all professional sports.
In December 2012 he was named the first base coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks fired Sax on October 8, 2013.
As of 2015, Sax returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers organization as an Alumni member of the team's Community Relations team.
Steve is the brother of another former Major League Baseball player, Dave Sax, who also played for the Dodgers. He is the father of Lauren Ashley (Sax) Bliss and son John Jeremy Sax. His nephew David Sax Jr. (son of Dave Sax) was recently seen on an episode of Intervention battling an addiction to alcohol and crystal meth.

A progressive take on BC issues
Series: BC Budget 2019
Bank of Canada President says to end privatization of gains and socialization of losses
By Keith Reynolds
Here in BC Bank of Canada President Mark Carney's speech to the Canadian Auto Workers convention got less attention than it seemed to get back east. It deserves more attention.
The biggest news coming out of the event was not in the speech itself but in the question period afterwards. Here Carney told the CAW members that with hundreds of billions of dollars in their bank accounts, Canadian firms aren't doing enough to drive economic growth and create new jobs. He continued:
"The level of caution could be viewed as excessive," he said. Referring to corporate managers, he added, "Their job is to put money to work and if they can't think of what to do with it, they should give it back to their shareholders."
The CCPA's Toby Sanger writes more about this issue on the national blog site Behind the Numbers.
However there was a lot more of interest in the speech and it is worth reading as a whole. It can be found here.
Here are some of the points Carney raises.
We must address, once and for all, the unfairness of a system that privatises gains and socialises losses. By restoring capitalism to the capitalists, discipline in the system will increase and, with time, systemic risks will be reduced.
In general, these trends mean that the demand for unskilled workers in advanced economies is falling relative to that for skilled workers. Some estimates show that by the end of this decade, there will be a shortage of 18 million skilled workers and a surplus of 35 million unskilled workers across advanced countries.
These broad shifts in the demand for and supply of labour are contributing to rising inequality. Over the past 20-plus years, incomes in Canada have increased nearly twice as fast for earners in the top 10 per cent as for those in the lowest 10 per cent. The share of the top 1 per cent is now the third highest among member-countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) after the United States and the United Kingdom. The last time inequality in the United States was this severe was during the 1920s. Moreover, labour's share of national income is now at its lowest level in half a century across most advanced economies, including Canada.
As effective as it has been, the limits of this growth model are becoming clear. In particular, we cannot grow indefinitely by relying on Canadian households increasing their borrowing relative to income.
When even the President of the Bank of Canada is talking about inequality and about the unfairness of privatizing gains and socializing losses, we know we have gone badly wrong in our economic thinking.

I mean what they ARE saying isn't anything you haven't necessarily already heard, but you KNOW in your gut there's a lot more they're leaving out. Maybe they don't want to alarm you by telling you that the possibility of hemorrhoids is one of the more favorable symptoms you might experience.
Perhaps they want to spare you the gory details of what happens during labor.... that there will be "ripping".... there will be a LOT of blood during labor (this can be a normal part of birth.... but something nobody had warned me about!). That you might experience something called the "ring of fire" during labor which can feel like fire and burning while the baby's head crowns.
This is hard in the moment, but can be helped with a few tricks I have up my sleeve. Or they don't want you to know that (especially first time moms) might have extra long labors, and that it is NOTHING like what you see on tv.
It's going to make YOU cry-- a lot. And you may not initially bond with your newborn right away which is going to bring on your first taste of MOM GUILT. I'm telling you this part of motherhood is ROUGH. You're not somebody who can just go with the flow.
You pride yourself on being early to meetings and overachieving on almost every task you commit yourself to doing. You're health-conscious and exercise regularly, but you aren't sure how the rules change when pregnant and you want to make sure you are getting accurate information on nutrition and fitness so you protect you and your baby.
You also want to know what to expect, so you can strategize and plan--- and usually that means devising a Plan A, Plan B, AND a Plan C--- just in case you go into labor in the middle of a typhoon-earthquake-volcano eruption. Like I said…. You live to prepare for the unexpected. And now you're in a position where you have no control.
THIS. IS. HAPPENING. NOW. You just want the truth so you can prepare for it.

> Course Description
Print evidence can place suspects at a crime scene, identify missing persons, and exonerate the innocent. Begin with an overview of the history of print evidence, focusing on fingerprints, footprints, and tire tracks. Upon learning the difference between class and individual evidence, determine whether a print links a suspect to a crime scene or just helps investigators narrow down their search. Study patent, latent, and plastic fingerprints, and learn how forensic scientists identify and use them. Dive in to each type of print evidence as you classify fingerprints, dust and lift prints, scrutinize print details used in court, cast shoe prints, examine shoe and tire marks in your neighborhood, read real case studies involving print evidence, and apply this knowledge in online mock cases.
Fantasy Worldbuilding
Eligibility: CTY-level verbal score
Saturday – 8 p.m.
World Adventurers
What deeply draws audiences into the settings of their favorite fantasy worlds? What makes these otherwise mythical places feel like real locations in the minds of readers? Create and develop your own fantasy world through the application of geography, cartography, and anthropology. Learn the literary elements of storytelling, analyzing specific examples from the genre as you engage in writing exercises that give you the tools to compose stories in your newly minted fictional setting. Special attention is paid to characterization, description, conflict, setting, exposition, and aspects of the hero's journey through excerpts from Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Activities include creating a detailed map of your world, constructing profiles of civilizations, and writing short stories featuring heroic characters who live in your setting.
Geometric and Spatial Reasoning
Saturday – 9 a.m. ET
Aspiring Coders
Geometric and spatial reasoning skills are essential for living in and making sense of the world around us. Everything from solving a jigsaw puzzle to arranging furniture to efficiently packing a bag requires these abilities. Learn and practice these skills as you delve into the mathematical relationships between objects—ones that include congruence and symmetry, reflection and rotation, or expansion and contraction. Explore the geometric properties of regular polygons and the so-called platonic solids, investigating relationships between area, circumference, and volume in a rigorous fashion. Exercise hands-on investigation, collaboration, and discussion as you and your classmates physically construct polyhedra while exploring the geometric properties of regular polygons, tessellations, and other tools for studying objects in space.

Eligibility: CTY-level math or verbal score
Wednesday – 5 p.m. or 7 p.m. ET
Future Doctors
The human body is an amazing but sometimes gross thing. From the blood inside us to the gas that comes out, each slimy, gunky, or smelly part has a vital role to play in keeping us healthy. Why do we burp, and why does it smell? What are boogers made of? What's in blood, and why is it so red? And why do scabs form once the bleeding has stopped? Explore these questions and bodily functions with your peers through online discussion, anatomy and physiology mini-lessons, research articles, and short at-home experiments. Gain a better understanding of the human body—especially those things you don't want to discuss at the dinner table!
Mathematical Proofs
Wednesday – 5 p.m. ET
Reasoning, logic, and critical thinking are the building blocks of intellectual inquiry. Focus on developing these skills through problem-solving and exposure to a wide range of topics in mathematics as you are introduced to the idea of mathematical proof and deductive logic. Starting with foundational tools such as truth tables, logic trees, and Venn diagrams, explore ideas of validity, consistency, and sound reasoning. By doing so, you'll learn the differences between axioms and hypotheses and how to use both to obtain results.
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is about 100nm in size but has caused a global pandemic. How can something so small cause so much damage? Explore different types of viruses and bacteria, learning how pathogens have cohabitated with human beings throughout history. Discover why some microorganisms are helpful, how others infect their hosts to cause trouble, and why many are so difficult to understand. As part of your coursework to master this content, you participate in short at-home activities such as making a coronavirus model out of household items or using glitter to better understand germ transmission. You will also select a microorganism to research and present to your peers, gaining a foundational knowledge of microbiology and a better understanding of the tiny organisms all around us.
Mission to Mars: Robotics in Space
Saturday – 8 p.m. ET
Skilled Gamers
Required Materials: You will need access to Lego Mindstorm EV3, black tape, and a computer with a camera.
Sojourner, Spirit, and Opportunity—robots sent by NASA to explore Mars—each outlasted their missions but were ultimately bested by the planet's harsh conditions. Sojourner lost its base station, Spirit became stuck in its soil, and Opportunity fell prey to a dust storm. With Curiosity still sending selfies from Mars—and Perseverance set to land there in 2021—human space knowledge is benefiting immensely from the scientific work of robots. But how does one design a robot to survive the red planet and gather helpful information? Focus on answering this very question as you explore programming concepts such as the use of conditionals, variables, functional decomposition, abstraction, and flow control. Applying this knowledge, construct and program a robot to complete Mars-specific challenges like autonomous maneuvering for retrieving objects, thereby gaining firsthand insight into robotics in space.
Model UN: Institutions and Global Health
Policy Wonks
Social Justice Champions
How we behave under stress often gives a rare, unfiltered glimpse into how we think and act, but what about our institutions? Examine the UN—specifically, the World Health Organization (WHO)—by studying past epidemics such as Ebola and AIDS in order to effectively address a future global health crisis. Explore the political, economic, and cultural influences on foreign policy within both the UN and its constitutive countries. Central to this exploration is a streamlined simulation of a Model UN WHO subcommittee. Assigned the roles of ambassadors and health ministers, you and your classmates investigate how an epidemic could affect your countries, drafting position papers and policy resolutions. Through reading and discussing primary documents, contributing to wikis, and creating videos, learn about the complexities of your assigned country as well as the capabilities of multilateral institutions.
Develop strategies for solving a wide variety of word problems using resources from Ken Johnson and Ted Herr's Problem Solving Strategies: Crossing the River with Dogs and Other Mathematical Adventures. Explore diagrams, systematic lists, elimination, working backwards, matrix logic, and unit analysis as you strengthen your ability to use these strategies to solve a wide variety of complex problems. Problems in this course are designed so that there are multiple strategies and combinations that will lead to a correct answer, which allows you and your peers to share your ideas and compare/contrast the different ways of problem-solving.
Project Mars
You and your classmates take on the role of intrepid interplanetary explorers, designing a space probe, learning about the complexity of landing an exploration vehicle, and planning a Martian colony. For decades, scientists have looked to Mars as an untapped resource, possibly holding clues to the origin of the solar system as well as the potential for future colonization. Numerous autonomous satellites and rovers have been sent to the red planet, and with each successful mission we learn more about our most accessible celestial neighbor. Explore topics such as Newton's Laws of Motion, Kepler's laws, and terraforming as you learn about the atmospheric and geological conditions that exist on Mars. Utilizing this knowledge, design plans for a mission and develop a sustainable blueprint for a prosperous civilization.

Whodunit?: The Art of Crafting Mystery Stories
Explore great mysteries as you analyze and interpret examples of the genre, gaining expertise with literary elements such as foreshadowing, tone, and narrative arc. What does it take to be a great detective? How do mystery writers keep us guessing? For generations, they've captivated readers with compelling characters and suspenseful storytelling punctuated by intriguing, unconventional sleuths like Eve Titus' Basil of Baker Street and Wendelin Van Draanen's Sammy Keyes. Using model texts as the basis for sharpening your own skills, practice effective techniques as you brainstorm, draft, and revise. Activities may include writing a locked-room mystery and having your classmates solve it, engaging in collaborative annotations, and analyzing the dynamics of online mystery games. As a final project, you'll present your polished stories to each other while providing and receiving feedback.
Grades 7–10
Prerequisites: Algebra I. Students in this class should have a strong background in physics or have completed CTY Summer Programs' The Physics of Engineering course.
How do aircraft fly? Why might a fighter jet use delta wings while a commercial jet has swept wings? Examine elements of aeronautical engineering—including how aircraft produce lift, propulsion, and thrust—as you learn how to calculate lift and drag coefficients, aspect ratio, and center of gravity. By designing, building, and testing a model and carefully documenting results, you'll relate variations in the shape and structure of your aircraft to its performance. Along with guided readings, participate in discussions of key principles and derivations of formulas, working together to solve aircraft issues and develop performance solutions.

This open-sourced electronics platform integrates hardware and software to create an unlimited array of automated electronic systems. Discover what a digital prototyping platform can accomplish as you work on creating devices that undertake tasks such as reading data from a sensor or activating lights based on motion and proximity. Using an Arduino® microprocessor, a breadboard, and a sensor and actuator kit, explore existing prototypes, learn to modify code, and adapt designs to fit their needs. Your final project will be designing, coding, and building a device that addresses a specific need within your community.
Bioethics in the Age of Pandemics
With the emergence of COVID-19, ethical issues in medicine have never been more pronounced in our social consciousness. Explore salient issues such as rationing scarce resources, making shutdown decisions for public health, and evaluating risk amid substantial uncertainty. Develop your own critical reasoning skills, learning how to construct and analyze arguments while participating in debates and discussions around well-known philosophical dilemmas, and gain additional exposure to clinical ethics by deliberating real-world cases. Bioethics in the Age of Pandemics equips you with a valuable set of philosophical tools to better grasp the moral dimensions of this pandemic as it continues to unfold before our eyes.
The Constitution in Crisis
What rights would you give up in order to feel safe? What safety would you give up to protect your rights? How does a democratic republic, with rights reserved for both the federal and state governments, create a coherent response to a crisis? Drawing upon a variety of documents, explore U.S. policy decisions during crises such as the Civil War and 9/11 and their long-term effects. In a pandemic, for instance, is a church or a gun store an essential service? Who decides? Likewise, is government use of an app that tracks your temperature and movement to benefit public health an unconstitutional act of search and seizure? By engaging in discussions of legal and political theory, research, debates, and analytical writing, deepen and sharpen your understanding of law and politics—particularly how the tension between freedom and security often changes the power balance between governments and citizens.
Diagnosis: Be the Doctor
Saturday – 9 a.m. or 8 p.m. ET
Doctors often have to make quick decisions based on their knowledge, experience, and a short list of symptoms—it's not so easy to always get it right, and lives are often on the line. Drawing upon basic biological and chemical concepts, explore the intricate anatomical and physiological mechanisms underlying human function. Outside of class meetings, use your new knowledge and additional research to write case studies about situations gone wrong. You must ask and answer questions, diagnose root causes, run tests, and order treatments that will help your patients recover. You might, for example, apply your understanding of the respiratory and circulatory systems to an injured hockey player who took a hit during a game, or to the nervous system of a child who has had a series of seizures.
Game of Life: The Theory of Strategic Behavior
How do individuals interact? How do they cooperate, compete, and respond to incentives? All involve strategic behavior, the purview of the economic theory of games. Study game theory through experiments, competitions, mathematical analysis, and debate, and apply game theory to model, evaluate, and predict outcomes of strategic behavior in the real world. Conduct a final research project in which you model and analyze a real-world strategic interaction. By engaging in simulations, problem sets, collaboration, and independent research, you will gain the ability to describe prototype games like the Prisoner's Dilemma and Stag Hunt; explain formal concepts such as players, strategies, payoffs, dominance, backward induction, and equilibrium; identify and evaluate Nash equilibria of simultaneous and sequential games; and model and analyze real-world strategic interactions as formal games.
Making the Case: Effective Legal Arguments
Objection, your Honor! Overruled! Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt! These are the phrases that lawyers and judges battle with in our favorite courtroom dramas. They speak to the argumentation at the heart of the adversarial American justice system in which two sides advocate their positions before an impartial judge and jury. How does one win in court? What goes into a strong legal argument? What are the rules and procedural context in which one attempts to secure a favorable verdict? Is it always logic that wins the day? Review aspects of an effective legal argument, learning about the American legal system in the process and enriching your critical thinking, reading, and expression skills. Through individual and group work, analyze historical and fictional court cases and apply what you learn to constructing, presenting, and defending arguments.
The Mathematics of Volatile Markets
What does it mean when bubbles burst, stock markets crash, and hyperinflation takes off? How do these major economic events affect businesses and individuals around the world? Focus on the boom-bust cycles of financial markets and how they can be explained mathematically. Analyze stock- and bond-market patterns and discuss the various solutions suggested or enacted by governments around the world—such as corporate bailouts, social safety nets, and increasing the monetary supply—to determine their effectiveness in mitigating market volatility. Develop an understanding of various savings and investment mechanisms that individuals can utilize to diversify their finances and minimize personal risk.
Modern Cryptography
Prerequisites: Algebra 1
In the age of digital surveillance, apps boasting end-to-end encryption such as WhatsApp and Telegram have flourished. What are these tools, and how do they work? How have developments in modern computing and mathematics affected the field of cryptography and impacted privacy and safety in modern society? Explore modern cryptographical tools such as ElGamal encryption and the Diffie-Hellman key exchange or the RSA cryptosystem with a focus on the interplay between privacy and security, including how governments and law enforcement agencies respond to new technological developments. As you and your peers develop your own cryptosystems or product ideas that solve an issue in modern cryptography, you simultaneously consider the technological and social implications of your work by looking deeply into its potential long-term impacts on cryptography and how it may complicate the balance between privacy and security.
The Psychology of Memory
Why are some things easier to remember than others? Why do people have vastly different memories of the same event? Why do most people remember Darth Vader saying, "Luke, I am your father," when what he really says is, "No, I am your father"? Delve into these questions and more through an investigation into the fascinating world of memory. Learn about the neurobiology of remembering, the phases of memory, the different types of memory, and the assessment instruments that cognitive psychologists use to measure memory while considering one of the most interesting topics in the field: failures in memory. You also explore the phenomenon of forgetting, false memories, and memory disorders such as anterograde and retrograde amnesia.
Fictional worlds often stick with us even longer than the stories set in them. They can be havens or nightmares, futuristic glimpses of what our world could be or looking-glass critiques of what it actually is. But how are these worlds created? Learn about the process of worldbuilding, discussing its techniques and best practices through the lenses of literature, creative writing, game design, anthropology, and history. In addition to building your own world, practice critical thinking and analysis as you look to famous worlds from literature, film, and games to discover what makes worldbuilding successful, meaningful, and ethical. Final projects include designing a travel brochure marketing a world to tourists, a vlog of a visit to another world, or a museum exhibit created by one civilization about a society that preceded it.

England train ahead of Euro 2016 opener against Russia with Roy Hodgson set to drop Jamie Vardy
The Three Lions opted to train at their base prior to the journey to Marseille for Saturday night's opener against Russia on the south coast

Roy Hodgson has put his England stooges through their paces one final time before travelling to Marseille for their Euro 2016 opener.
The Three Lions are preparing for their clash with Russia on Saturday night with Hodgson set to drop Leicester striker Jamie Vardy from the line-up.
It comes as part of a dramatic shake-up of the team, which will see him ditch his much-maligned diamond shape in midfield in favour of a 4-3-3.
The team have been preparing for the change in tactics all week, as captain Wayne Rooney is set to drop back into a central midfield role alongside Dele Alli.

Hodgson is believed to have been unhappy with how the diamond shape worked out in the game against Portugal and has made last minute changes to his plans.
England fly to Marseille later on Friday having been booked into a hotel next to the Euros fan park for supporters.
Big screens will show the France vs Romania opener as England look to tuck into bed for an early night ahead of their big bow the following evening.
Even after the game finishes, at around 11pm local time, the park is then staging a concert.
The open-air party park can hold up to 80,000 people - and could cause a problem for the England team hoping to catch enough rest in the build-up to their game.
Follow the build-up:
Euro 2016 live build-up as France gets ready for tonight's big kick-off in Paris
The fan zone is officially open until 1am, but the noise and party could go on much later.
An FA spokesman said: "UEFA allocate the hotels for both teams in the host city."
Hodgson has decided to have his final pre-match training session at their base in Chantilly, near Paris, on Friday morning before flying to Marseille on the south coast.
The coaching staff believe they will have a better session at their own base rather than on the stadium pitch the night before the game - a practice generally intended to help the teams to get used to the playing surface they will use next day.
But England keeper Joe Hart said: "It allows us a little more time because when we train the night before in a stadium we are on a countdown, when you need to be on and when you need to be off.
"We are very comfortable with our base, we have got a lovely training ground, it is local and easy to get to for us and we can travel and rest and be prepared for the game."
How will England do at Euro 2016?

Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD, is a U.S. board-licensed Anatomic Pathologist with subspecialty coaching within the fields of Experimental and Molecular Pathology. In case your amniotic membrane ruptures – or your "water breaks" – the contractions could get a lot stronger. Your contractions are between 5 and 10 minutes aside. However you might not have identified that there are a number of varieties of contractions, and experiencing them does not at all times mean you're about to provide beginning.
When the cervix dilates from eight to 10 centimeters (known as the Transition Phase), contractions are 2 to 3 minutes apart and final about 1 minute. But pregnant ladies should not have the ability to measure their very own cervix so how can she tell the distinction between false labor contractions and energetic contractions?
Early labor might be stopped in some cases with medications that maintain the infant growing contained in the uterus until the time for labor is right. Although there are many indicators that you're in labor, one of the most dependable is if you start experiencing consistent contractions.
Practice contractions, a.k.a., Braxton Hicks contractions : These can occur any time after the middle of your being pregnant (or under no circumstances). These contractions cause the higher a part of the uterus (fundus) to tighten and thicken whereas the cervix and lower portion of the uterus stretch and chill out, helping the infant go from inside the uterus and into the beginning canal for supply.
The way in which a contraction feels is different for each girl and may feel totally different from one being pregnant to the subsequent. You might consider writing up a beginning plan to help guide your selections. Lightening can occur a few weeks or a few hours before labor.


Physical pain and the distress that comes with social rejection have been traced to the same area of the brain. This intriguing connection may shed some light on how acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol) may also affect the brain.
Accumulating research suggests that, along with inhibiting physical pain, acetaminophen may also act on emotions and have other neurological effects.
One of the latest studies, conducted by researchers from the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia, suggests the popular painkiller may even inhibit the brain response associated with making errors.
Sixty study participants were asked to complete a fast-moving target-detection task while hooked up to an electroencephalogram (EEG), which measures electrical activity in the brain.
When the letter F flashed on a screen, they were asked to press a Go button. When the letter E flashed on the screen, they were told to refrain from hitting the button.
Half of the participants took 1,000 milligrams (mg) of acetaminophen (a typical maximum dose) prior to completing the task, and notable changes were displayed on the EEG.
The researchers analyzed brain waves called Error Related Negativity (ERN) and Error Related Positivity (Pe). Both ERN and Pe increased when the participants made errors, but Pe was smaller among those who took acetaminophen.
"Very recent work in the last few years has suggested that acetaminophen not only affects physical pain, but also feelings of social rejection, uncertainty and evaluative processing.
The study also revealed a surprise finding — that those taking acetaminophen also made more errors. The researchers are planning to look further into whether the drug may increase distraction or mind wandering, thereby leading to increased errors.
Compared to those taking a placebo, those who took acetaminophen daily for three weeks had reduced neural responses to social rejection in brain regions associated with distress caused by social pain and physical pain (dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, anterior insula).
Acetaminophen's apparent dulling effect on your emotional responses might work for better or for worse, watering down not only negative emotions but also positive ones. Researchers showed emotional photos to college students who had either taken a 1,000-mg dose of acetaminophen or a placebo.
"Participants who took acetaminophen evaluated unpleasant stimuli less negatively and pleasant stimuli less positively, compared with participants who took a placebo.
Although they weren't tested, the researchers believe other pain relievers, including aspirin or ibuprofen, might have similar emotion-blunting effects.
Acetaminophen's brain effects are only beginning to be understood, but this medication's risks to other areas of your body are well known.
Acetaminophen overdoses are also responsible for more than 150 deaths each year in the U.S.  A major problem is that while acetaminophen is considered safe when taken as recommended, the margin between a safe dose and a potentially lethal one is very small.
This means you should avoid using acetaminophen to treat a hangover as well, a common yet potentially dangerous practice.
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS): This reaction begins with flu-like symptoms that progress into a painful purple or red rash that blisters and causes the top layer of your skin to slough off. This can lead to serious infections, blindness, damage to internal organs, permanent skin damage and even death.
It is believed the liver damage acetaminophen causes is largely due to the fact that it can deplete glutathione, an antioxidant compound secreted by your liver in response to toxic exposure. Glutathione also helps protect your cells from free radical damage. If you keep your glutathione levels up, the damage from the acetaminophen may be largely preventable.
NAC is the rate-limiting nutrient for the formation of the intracellular antioxidant glutathione, which is why it's such an effective antidote. Mortality due to acetaminophen toxicity has been shown to be virtually eliminated when NAC is promptly administered in cases of acetaminophen overdose. So whether you are taking Tylenol in prescription or over-the-counter form, I strongly suggest taking NAC along with it.
"Oral administration is the preferred route for NAC therapy unless contraindications exist (e.g. aspiration, persistent vomiting). The usual recommended loading dose is 140 mg/kg followed in four hours by a maintenance dose of 70 mg/kg orally given every four hours.
Does Acetaminophen Even Work to Relieve Pain?
Meanwhile, in 2015 a systematic review of randomized trials found acetaminophen works no better than a placebo.  The review of 13 studies found "high-quality evidence" that acetaminophen is ineffective for treating low back pain and had only a small effect in patients with osteoarthritis.
That small effect was "not likely to be meaningful for clinicians or patients," the researchers wrote. In addition, acetaminophen use increased the risk of having an abnormal result on liver function tests by nearly four-fold.  Considering the risks, both those that are known and the brain effects that are currently being unraveled, and the lack of clear effectiveness, you may be better off seeking alternative forms of pain relief.
The Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (AMIT) helps treat muscle injuries and pain as well, while these simple exercises may work wonders for treating back pain. No matter what your reason for taking Tylenol, type it into the search box above and you'll likely find a natural alternative. If chronic pain is your problem, the following options provide excellent pain relief without any of the health hazards that acetaminophen and other pain relievers carry.
Curcumin: Curcumin is the primary therapeutic compound identified in the spice turmeric. In a study of osteoarthritis patients, those who added 200 mg of curcumin a day to their treatment plan had reduced pain and increased mobility.  In fact, curcumin has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory activity, as well as demonstrating the ability in four studies to reduce Tylenol-associated adverse health effects.

Fresh plans for 320 apartments at 'long-term derelict site' near Nottingham Railway Station
"The location in the heart of the city and close to the tram and railway station would make this a very attractive option for city workers."
Jamie BarlowDigital News Correspondent
An initial visual of plans drawn up for the site.
Fresh plans have officially been tabled for a vast tower block of 320 apartments at a 'long-term derelict site' near Nottingham Railway Station.
The development is earmarked to transform a vacant plot off Arkwright Street, south of the train station, at a site bounded by Crocus Street.
A range of studio, one and two-bed apartments are in the pipeline split between what the plans describe as a "a 12-storey landmark tower and three to five-storey building".
A previous proposal for a 420-student bed scheme has planning permission on the land but developers confirmed earlier this year they were working to draw up a revised scheme for working professionals.
A planning application for the 320 apartments has since been submitted to Nottingham City Council planners for consideration.
It is a prospect backed by senior business figures who say it will help "rejuvenate the area".
Lorraine Baggs, head of inward investment at Invest in Nottingham, said: "It is great to see things moving ahead for this significant residential development near to Nottingham's train station, which would complement other developments happening in the area.
Lack of flats for working professionals in the city blamed on licensing fee
"If given the go-ahead, this 320-bedroom apartment building would provide a significant boost to Nottingham's available housing stock.
"The location in the heart of the city and close to the tram and railway station would make this a very attractive option for city workers.
"The development of this prominent site in the city will really help to rejuvenate the area.
The derelict land highlighted in red shows roughly where the apartments are planned. (Image: Google)
"Not only will it create a significant number of jobs during construction but it would also support the local economy once complete as its residents make use of retail and food outlets in the vicinity.
"These plans demonstrate ever-increasing confidence and interest in the city by investors and developers and this development would form part of the unprecedented wave of regeneration happening across the southside area."
Green light for extension to Forest's training ground and academy site
Plans revealed for another vast apartment block near Nottingham Railway Station
Planning documents state: "These proposals will provide the regeneration of a long-term derelict site within the important Meadows Gateway area.
"The scheme will provide 320 purpose-built, managed apartments for the private rental sector.
"The proposed design features high-quality robust natural materials which will compliment the surrounding streetscape together with the new attractive landscaped areas of public open space.
"The built form helps restore the streetscape of Arkwright Street which has been a gap site since the area was originally cleared in the 1970s."
They add: "This development will greatly enhance the appearance and character of the local area as well as providing much-needed housing."
The project is led by the Cassidy Group.

The SEC has issued "scores of subpoenas" to obtain information from technology companies and advisers tied to ICOs. According to CNBC, the commission is investigating the structure of ICOs. Following the news, the market value of Bitcoin has decreased, but has recovered and increased over the past 12 hours.
Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright, who in 2016 claimed to be the creator of Bitcoin, is the target of a lawsuit. According to CNBC, the lawsuit accuses Wright of stealing USD 5 billion-worth of cryptocurrency and other assets from a former business partner, Dave Kleiman, a now deceased IT security expert. Wright allegedly, "fraudulently created at least three contracts and used a computer-generated signature to lay claim to Bitcoins mined by Kleiman." While it is unclear whether Kleiman and Wright are Satashi Nakamoto, court documents do concede that the pair have been involved in Bitcoin mining since its inception.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently informed its employees that they are permitted to invest in cryptocurrencies. According to Bloomberg, CFTC employees can trade cryptocurrencies as long as they do not buy them on margin, have inside information obtained from their jobs, or invest in Bitcoin futures — which the CFTC regulates.
China is aiming to close loopholes that allow Chinese cryptocurrency investors to trade digital assets on overseas exchanges. According to Bloomberg, China's regulators are investigating the bank and online-payment accounts of businesses and individuals suspected of cryptocurrency trading using exchanges located outside of China. The regulators could then freeze the investors' assets or block them from the China's domestic financial system.

Canonisation of Laurence O'Toole by Pope Honorius III
Lorcán Ua Tuathail, also known as Saint Laurence O'Toole, is canonised by Pope Honorius III on December 11, 1225. It will be 750 years before another Irish person is canonised.
O'Toole is born in Castledermot in what is now County Kildare in 1128. His father is Maurice O'Toole, King of Hy Murray. It is common practice in the day for princes of one clan to be given as hostages to another clan, as a guarantee of peace. When he is ten years old O'Toole is given as hostage to Diarmaid Mac Murchada, King of Leinster, who treats him very badly. He is sent in chains to a remote place, where he gets very little to eat and does not have enough clothes to keep him warm in the winter. For two years, even though he is a king's son, he learns what it is like to be poor and to be oppressed.
After two years, it is agreed that O'Toole is to be released. He is sent to a monastery at Glendalough, and the monks make him welcome. It is agreed that his father is to come and collect him there. But he soon comes to love Glendalough and likes joining the monks in prayer. After his two years as a hostage, he realises that wealth and power are not important. He feels very close to God in Glendalough. He asks his father's permission to stay there and become a monk, to which his father agrees. At the age of only 26 years old, he is elected Abbot of Glendalough. As the leader of the community he encourages the monks in their learning. There is always a welcome in the monastery for the poor. When there is a famine in the area, he sells some of the treasures of Glendalough to provide food for those who are hungry.
In 1162 O'Toole becomes the first Irish-born Archbishop of Dublin, then a city ruled by Danes and Norwegians. In those days, many of the people of Dublin do not take their Christian religion very seriously. He encourages them to become real Christians. He brings monks to Dublin from France and they live at Christ Church Cathedral. They help many people to come back to Mass and the Sacraments. O'Toole himself never forgets his own days of poverty. He continues to care for the poor, especially homeless children. He makes room for them in his own house, and they share the food at his table.
The Normans land in Ireland in 1169. The following year they besiege Dublin under their leader, Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, also known by the nickname of "Strongbow." O'Toole meets Strongbow to arrange peace but the Normans attack while the talks are going on. They seize the city and begin killing the citizens and looting their houses. O'Toole saves the lives of many people.
As Archbishop of Dublin, O'Toole participates in the Third Council of the Lateran in Rome in 1179, with some of the other Irish bishops. Pope Alexander III knows that Ireland has been going through a bad time. He knows that many people, including priests, are no longer taking their religion seriously. He entrusts to O'Toole the task of reforming the Church in Ireland.
A new dispute breaks out between Henry II of England and the Irish Kings. In the spring of 1180, O'Toole leaves Ireland to see if he can help settle the dispute. King Henry II does not have much time for bishops. He has already arranged to have the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, murdered. He does not welcome O'Toole. He sees a chance to get rid of O'Toole as Archbishop of Dublin and does not let him return to Ireland. Henry has control of Normandy as well as England. O'Toole follows him there. As long as there is a chance of peace, he would not give up trying.
In 1180, O'Toole becomes seriously ill. The monks at Eu in Normandy look after him in their monastery but on November 14, 1180, at the age of 52, he dies. His tomb is in the crypt under the Collegial Church at Eu. Many people still go there to pray.
Laurence O'Toole is canonized by Pope Honorius III on December 11, 1225.

The Norman Invasion of Ireland
Cambro-Norman mercenaries land in Ireland on May 1, 1169 at the request of Diarmait Mac Murchada (Dermot MacMurragh), the ousted King of Leinster, who has sought their help in regaining his kingdom. The Norman invasion of Ireland takes place in stages during the late 12th century, at a time when Gaelic Ireland is made up of several kingdoms, with a High King claiming lordship over all.
Diarmait and the Normans seize Leinster within weeks and launch raids into neighbouring kingdoms. This military intervention has the backing of King Henry II of England and is authorized by Pope Adrian IV.
And there and then the high king stood strong and lay down too led by Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, more commonly known as Strongbow. By May 1171, Strongbow has assumed control of Leinster and seized the Norse-Irish city kingdoms of Dublin, Waterford, and Wexford. That summer, High King Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair (Rory O'Connor) leads an Irish counteroffensive against the Normans, but they manage to hold most of their conquered territory. In October 1171, King Henry lands a large Anglo-Norman army in Ireland to establish control over both the Cambro-Normans and the Irish. The Norman lords hand their conquered territory to Henry. He lets Strongbow hold Leinster in fief and declares the cities to be crown land. Many Irish kings also submit to him, likely in the hope that he will curb Norman expansion. Henry, however, grants the unconquered Kingdom of Meath to Hugh de Lacy. After Henry's departure in 1172, Norman expansion and Irish counteroffensives continue.
The 1175 Treaty of Windsor acknowledges Henry as overlord of the conquered territory and Ruaidrí as overlord of the rest of Ireland, with Ruaidrí also swearing fealty to Henry. However, the Treaty soon falls apart. The Anglo-Norman lords continue to invade Irish kingdoms and they in turn launch counter-attacks. In 1177, Henry adopts a new policy. He declares his son John to be "Lord of Ireland" (i.e. of the whole country) and authorizes the Norman lords to conquer more land. The territory they hold becomes the Lordship of Ireland and forms part of the Angevin Empire. The largely successful nature of the invasion has been attributed to a number of factors. These include the Normans' military superiority and programme of castle-building, the lack of a unified opposition from the Irish, and the Church's support for Henry's intervention.
The Norman invasion is a watershed in the history of Ireland, marking the beginning of more than 700 years of direct English and, later, British involvement in Ireland.

Henry II Lands at Waterford
Henry II, fearful that Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, also known as Strongbow, will grow too powerful in Ireland, lands with an army at Waterford on October 17, 1171. The Normans, Norse, and Irish all submit to him, except for the most remote Irish kings.
Henry is worried about the growing power of the Cambro-Norman knights, in particular Strongbow, who has in the previous two years carved out what is a substantial new territory, as well as a delicately located new territory with regard to Henry's own holdings in what is termed the Angevin Empire.
Henry's presence changes the game for the Norman lords. Either they agree to do as he asks, submit to his sovereignty and accept the land they have grasp through force of arms as his gift, or branded as rebels they face their King with an army of 1,000 knights.
The Lords see the way of things and agree to the demand. Many of the Gaelic Irish, seeing Henry as a potential ally against the power of the Norman Lords, swear allegiance as well.
Henry receives recognition and hostages from the Ostmen of Wexford, who have captured Robert FitzStephen, as well as from many other kings in Ireland including Diarmait MacCarthaigh, king of Cork, Domnall Mór Ua Briain, king of Limerick, Murchadh O Cearbhaill, king of Airgialla, Tighearnán Mór Ua Ruairc, king of Breifne, and Donn Sléibe mac Con Ulad Mac Duinn Sléibe, king of Ulaid.
Henry formally grants Leinster to Strongbow in return for homage, fealty, and the service of 100 knights, reserving to himself the city and kingdom of Dublin and all seaports and fortresses. He also grants the kingdom of Meath, from the River Shannon to the sea, to his own follower Hugh de Lacy.
Henry II's arrival at Waterford puts to rest the idea of an independent Irish kingdom that any Norman lord might imagine and determines a course for Ireland for some 750 years.

Death of Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke
Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Lord of Leinster, Justiciar of Ireland, and Cambro-Norman lord notable for his leading role in the Norman invasion of Ireland, dies in Dublin on April 20, 1176. Like his father, he is also commonly known by his nickname "Strongbow."
As the son of the 1st Earl of Pembroke, Richard succeeds to his father's estates after his death in 1148, but is deprived of the title by King Henry II of England in 1154 for siding with King Stephen of England against Henry's mother, the Empress Matilda. He sees an opportunity to reverse his bad fortune in 1168 when he meets Diarmait Mac Murchada, the deposed King of Leinster.
In 1167, Diarmait Mac Murchada is deprived of the Kingdom of Leinster by the High King of Ireland, Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair. To recover his kingdom, Mac Murchada solicits help from King Henry II of England. Henry provides a letter of comfort for willing supporters of Mac Murchada's cause in his kingdom. However, after his return to Wales, he fails to rally any forces to his standard. He eventually meets Richard de Clare and other barons of the Welsh Marches. Mac Murchada comes to an agreement with de Clare where, for the Earl's assistance with an army the following spring, he can have Mac Murchada's eldest daughter, Aoife, in marriage and the succession to Leinster.
Mac Murchada and Richard de Clare raise a large army, which includes Welsh archers and arranges for Raymond FitzGerald to lead it. The force takes the Ostman towns of Wexford, Waterford, and Dublin in rapid succession between 1169 and 1170. Richard de Clare, however, is not with the first invading party and arrives later, in August 1170.
In May 1171, Diarmait Mac Murchada dies and his son, Donal MacMurrough-Kavanagh claims the kingdom of Leinster in accordance with his rights under the Brehon Laws. Richard de Clare also claims the kingship in the right of his wife. At this time, Strongbow sends his uncle, Hervey de Montmorency, on an embassy to Henry II, which is necessary to appease the King who is growing restive at the count's increasing power. Upon his return, de Montmorency conveys the King's terms – the return of Richard de Clare's lands in France, England, and Wales as well as leaving him in possession of his Irish lands. In return, Richard de Clare surrenders Dublin, Waterford, and other fortresses to the English king. Henry's intervention is successful and both the Gaelic and Norman lords in the south and east of Ireland accept his rule. Richard de Clare also agrees to assist Henry II in his upcoming war in France.
Richard de Clare dies on April 20, 1176 of an infection in his leg or foot. He is buried in Holy Trinity Church in Dublin with his uncle-in-law, Lorcán Ua Tuathail, Archbishop of Dublin, presiding. King Henry II takes all of Strongbow's lands and castles for himself and places a royal official in charge of them.

Time was, when a candidate filed for the New Hampshire primary, he'd' devote the entire day to the honor and majesty of the first in the nation contest. But Rudy Giuliani's campaign likes to do things differently.
He filed in New Hampshire yesterday and made the trek in person, but his campaign staged another high-profile filing ceremony in a Feb. 5 state too: in Jefferson City, Missouri, the MO House Majority Leader Steven Tilley, Giuliani's Missouri Co-Chair filed on Giuliani's behalf.
Today, Giuliani surrogates in Alabama, Florida and Alaska will formally file the candidate paperwork, hoping to generate local news coverage.
The multiple filings are a sign that the campaign remains committed to its own view of the usual Iowa-to-New Hampshire momentum swing.
A side note: Hillary Clinton will file in New Hampshire on November 2 -- the day the filing period ends and a few days before Secretary of State Bill Gardner inks in the primary date on the calendar.


Rewind to Trevor Noah's Daily Show this past Halloween. The show is set during the presidential campaign. Not the 2016 one, but the 2020 one as Donald Trump "runs" for reelection. The setting is literally and figuratively underground as Noah surreptitiously tries to continue the comedy program that had had been wildly successful when the press was still free.
As Noah goes from correspondent to correspondent, it is clear that America has become largely inhospitable to African-Americans, Hispanics, women, just about anyone who is not like Donald Trump. The program reveals (in hopefully a hyperbolic fashion) virtually everything that could go wrong in the first term of a Donald Trump presidency.
But one thing has not happened. Nuclear war. It reminds me of the perils that the people of Russia, in fact the people of the entire world, live under so long as Vladimir Putin is president of the world's second strongest nuclear power. Putin has committed a litany of outrageous violations of human rights, he has invaded sovereign countries, he has taken cyber mischief and espionage to unprecedented levels, but he has not unleashed his nuclear arsenal.
It is no small coincidence that Trump and Putin seem to have a mutual admiration society. They both love to take just about everything to the limit, with little regard for the actual or perceived consequences. Neither seems capable of admitting a mistake. Each seems to think that the entire world is against them. Each is someone whose presence in a room would make everyone else wary.
Fast forward to now, three days after the Trevor Noah episode. The fear of a Trump presidency is only growing as the polls tighten and we are reminded of how in 1980 Ronald Reagan took a tight race the week before the election and turned it into a landslide victory for himself. Like Trump, the arguments against Reagan were that he was not ready for prime time, that he was not smart enough nor temperamentally fit to serve as president. Somehow as the clock ticked down to Election Day, there was a tsunami of sentiment that these fears were unfounded and Reagan became acceptable and then desired.
Is that what is happening with Donald Trump now? It has been sixteen months since he announced his candidacy and he has said and done everything and more that is outrageous. For those of us who oppose Trump, he has given us an almost daily diet of words and actions that clearly demonstrate that he is the most unqualified person to receive the nomination of a major party in American history.
But this seems to matter to fewer and fewer people. Could the unthinkable happen? On the day after the Cubs (deservedly) won the World Series, Trump seems primed to do what hardly anyone thought possible. I hope that I am wrong. I hope that the polls are flawed. I hope that the American people might be just a little bit wiser than I fear. But should the unthinkable happen, it might be the best we can hope for with a Trump presidency is "Putin-West." Let's hope that we never have to find out if that would be true.
