International chatter without collaborative decisions
By Haroon Siddiqui, Toronto Star, December 2, 2010
The most comprehensive leaks (from Wikileaks) are about Iran, and they confirm the standard American narrative: Iran is terrible and its nukes pose "an existentialist threat" to Israel and to "moderate" Arab states.
Saudi King Abdullah Saudi wants the U.S. to "cut off the head of the snake." Similar opinions are held by (the pro-American) leaders of Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Egypt.
Abdullah has bowed to American pressure to promise China a guaranteed source of energy if Beijing would join in pressuring Iran.
One UAE leader says, "Iran is establishing 'emirates' across the Muslim world, including south Lebanon and Gaza, sleeper 'emirates' in Kuwait, Bahrain and the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, and the mother of all 'emirates' in southern Iraq, and now in Yemen."
Abu Dhabi's crown prince says "Ahmadinejad is Hitler" and that if air strikes won't do the job in Iran, ground troops should be sent in.
Gary Sick, Iran expert at Columbia University, writes:
"The dirty little secret that no war hawk wants to admit is that you can't eliminate Iran's nuclear capacity simply by bombing. To really wipe out the capability, you'd have to go in on the ground — just as the United States had to do with Iraq. The difference would be that you'd have to field perhaps a million soldiers . . . Conscription anyone?"
In light of this "dirty little secret" how can anyone really think that the U.S. would even contemplate another ground war against Iran? And Iran's best thinkers and planners must already know this.
And if Israel thinks it can "cut the head off the snake" with its bombing of Iran, perhaps this might also be a sleight of mind.
The more the politicians talk, and the more people actually listen to their rhetoric, the more likely we will all be seduced into thinking that there really are answers, political answers, military answers, collaborative answers to the domestic and international problems we all face, when just perhaps, we might be wrong in that seduction.
If no one really knows or is prepared to act to reign in Korea, including China, and
if no one is really prepared to force Iran to abandon its nuclear weapons program, or is really prepared to send in 1 million soldiers on the ground, and
if Iran really is 'Hitler' establishing emirates across the Muslim world
if China, India and America are really not prepared to sign onto a climate change and global warming reduction treaty, and
if the hungry of the world continue to starve while the rest of us continue to eat more, and more healthy food and
if the American congress refuses to approve the START treaty, and that sets off another nuclear arms race and
if....
Then, is it true that we can hope for only micro-movements on any or all of the pressing problems because there is no collective and collaborative will or mechanism for the achievement of mutually beneficial and mutually agreed, and mutually monitored decisions to bring the world community back from its several brinks?
And then, are we forced into a position where we have to trust that no spark will be set off that will ignite more than we expected and more than we are collectively capable of extinguishing?
Our collective cultural mind-set seems to be set on the day-to-day necessities of life, and, if the numbers are correct and likely to be repeated in our low voter turnout, then is it democracy that might be experiencing its own atrophy?
Rogue states and even more rogue leaders of those states do not wish to negotiate except perhaps to make deals with their rogue counterparts, any more than Republican leadership does not wish to negotiate with the U.S. President. And so a kind of stalemate fossilizes the process of healthy governance, within the U.S. and potentially at the U.N. and other collaborative groups of nations.
And the political chatter carries on to feed the appetites of those political junkies, who, even though we may be interested are increasingly rendered impotent to make a difference in this ironic "glacial" political climate, at the same time we make concrete plans for a rise in sea levels of from 5-15 feet as a potential result of that same global warming and climate change that we are doing very little to prevent.
And we thought Alice in Wonderland was topsy-turvy? It has nothing on the real topsy-turvy!

I (as Kathleen) don't always feel my heart is in this. But I'm disregarding Kathleen's view of things for the month. Taking this on for just a month doesn't feel too daunting. If "loving what is" proves to be too much effort or makes me feel oppressed, then I'm free to return to my old programming on May 9.
I'm not directly imposing this on others. The other day, my husband complained that the contractor who repaired our deck billed us over the estimate. My thought was that the contractor was destined to have that money, and I'm glad that we support his work and his family. But to my husband I only said, "That's too bad, but at least he did a good job." Prior to "the surrender experiment," I might have said only, "That's too bad." So I notice that simply thinking in agreement with what is does translate into more positive speech as well.
I've had three injuries this winter, the latest being last week when I jammed my "bad" knee. It will likely takes months to settle down, plus there is the fear that I may have messed up the surgical repairs (ACL and meniscus replaced a few years ago). Best thing that ever happened! My heart's not really loving this occurrence, but again, I'm not paying much heed to Kathleen's default programming. After all, the point of this exercise is to recondition the mind's patterns. So, let's say it again: The best thing that ever happened!
This contrary thinking is actually is helping. Most of the day I'm busy and not thinking about my knee, but when I settle down and a wave of dread washes over me, I remind Myself that the feelings and fears of an imaginary character are...imaginary. And, for this month, at least, I am rejecting the realm of imagination, and devoting myself to reality. So I set aside the fear. It wasn't very useful anyway, really.
As a spiritual seeker/finder, I am dedicated to reality. I love reality. I trust reality. I desire to see truth directly. I desire clarity. Inspiring words! But my "surrender experiment" reveals that I have quite a bit of resistance to living in truth, to living as truth. So I continue to practice. All that arises is the best possible arising for this moment. For today, I believe that. For today, I know that. For today, the sun is bright.

Needs vs. Wants
by Mario "Game" Granata
Although many fans in the Western New York area might be upset with the departure of Jairus Byrd, there are many other positions that need to be filled on the Bills roster. Check out how far the Bills have stretched their salary cap and filled some needs on the team
In trying to choose the right words for Buffalo Bills fans over the recent unrest that has occurred over the Flight of the Byrd, I have been doing some digging (and a little tongue biting) and have come up with a way to put Buffalo fans' worries at ease, and hopefully after you read the following blog, you will sleep better tonight.
This is a classic case of Needs vs Wants. The Buffalo Bills, as many of you know, are in a rebuilding phase (and have been for quite some time) but truth is, they need bodies in certain positions. When one examines the players that they were able to sign, there are certainly some positives to take away from them.
Chris Williams – People like to throw the 'bust' word around too frequently in the NFL. A bust is someone who doesn't meet the expectations that were set for them, when their career is over. Chris Williams' career is far from over, and when one takes a look at what he brings to the table, Bills fans should start to be excited. In his professional career, Williams started 54 games, and had more success at left guard then he has had at tackle. In 2010, he started 13 of 13 games, and also played in the Conference Championship against the Green Bay Packers. In 2011, while starting 9 games, was a member of an offensive unit that posted over 2,000 yards rushing during the regular season. After playing in spot duty for the 2012 campaign, he completed his first full season, starting all 16 games for the St. Louis Rams, that had to play with a backup quarterback at the helm, and playing in, arguably, the toughest division in the NFL (NFC West). Six times during the regular season, the Rams faced teams within their division that amassed a 25-13 record and a Super Bowl winner. Add in the fact that the NFC West had defenses that were ranked at the top of the league, Williams has seen the best of the best, and is very much battle tested going into 2014. Some Bills fans are still upset at the loss of Andy Levitre, but with Williams' 6'6" 326 pound frame, CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson are going to have some opportunities to make plays in the running game.
Keith Rivers – Rivers, is also considered a bust for not meeting the standards of a 1st round draft pick, but when you examine the contributions that he has had to the teams that he has played on, you can see why he will be a nice fit in Buffalo. In 2009, he started 13 games on a defense that was ranked 9th in the league, and only allowed 1 300-yard passer during the regular season. In 2010, he was second on the team in tackles, going through a tough season where the Bengals posted a record of 4-12, with the freak sideshow of Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens always getting their popcorn ready each and every week, one thing is for certain, he knows how to prepare each week with a locker room distraction…even two. Focusing on the players that he played with during that season will tell you more about why he is a very good fit in Buffalo, than the 4-12 record could tell you. He played alongside Ray Maualuga, and with Roy Williams and Leon Hall. A linebacker (Maualuga) who flies all around the field, a strong safety who loves to come up and hit people, and a 1st round #1 corner for the team: traits that could easily describe Kiko Alonso, Aaron Williams, and Stephon Gilmore, wouldn't you say?
Corey Graham – A hometown boy, who brings championship pedigree to the Buffalo Bills, although many are talking about Graham being a special teams player, it seems that when the lights are brightest is when Graham shines. Playing both right and left corner, the Bills, it appears, will use Graham as the slot cover corner, an upgrade over Nickell Robey. During a three year span from 2011-2013, Graham started only 13 of 48 games, and posted 10 interceptions and 23 pass break-ups during that time, which speaks to the mental toughness of the player, to always be ready, despite not being in a 'starting' role. During the playoffs, Graham posted 8 tackles and 2 interceptions on Peyton Manning, 11 tackles in the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots, and 6 tackles in the Super Bowl. More importantly he brings something to Buffalo that has yet to be seen, a championship ring.
While some of the doubters will harp on the fact that Jairus Byrd is no longer a Bill, the money that Bills fans find out what it would have cost to keep him here, is far more, and hopefully in the long run, not worth the players that they brought in at a cheaper price. If these players do not work out, and the Bills have to cut ties with them, they will still be able to save some cap room in the upcoming years to sign some other players. The Buffalo Bills needed a guard, a linebacker, and a cornerback. That is the message that sometimes gets lost in the mix, is that they are filling needs on the team, and while many Bills fans might have 'wanted' Byrd, getting players who are hungry to prove their worth and bring a winning attitude to Buffalo is what they ultimately 'needed'.

Øyer is a municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located in the traditional district of Gudbrandsdal. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Tingberg. The two largest villages in the municipality are Granrudmoen and Tretten.

The  municipality is the 182nd largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Øyer is the 181st most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 5,082. The municipality's population density is  and its population has decreased by 0.3% over the previous 10-year period.

General information

The parish of Øier (later spelled Øyer) was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1867, a small area of Øier (population: 40) was transferred to the neighboring municipality of Gausdal. The borders of Øyer have not changed since that time.

Name
The municipality (and parish) were named after the old Øier farm ( / accusative case and dative case) since this that was the site of the old Øyer Church which had been located there for centuries. The name comes from the word Øyi (nominative case). Two lakes in Norway had the name Øyi(r) in Old Norse times (now called Øymark and Øyeren), and these names are derived from the word øy which means "flat and fertile land along the edge of the water". This name is probably given to this area because the Gudbrandsdalslågen river widens out in the central part of the municipality and creates two river-lakes (called the Jemnefjorden and Gildbusfjorden). Øyi was probably the old name of one (or both) of these "fjords". Prior to 1918, the name was spelled "Øier".

Coat of arms
The coat of arms was granted on 29 April 1983. The arms show a silver-colored wooden ring, or , on a green background. This is a type of ring that was historically made of wood and it was used to fasten a tree trunk to a rope in order to haul it over the land. Similar devices were used all over Norway, but this shape is typical for this area.

Churches
The Church of Norway has two parishes () within the municipality of Øyer. It is part of the Sør-Gudbrandsdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

History
The Black Death reached Norway in the winter of 1349-1350. Øyer was one of the parishes that was most severely impacted. Estimates based on tax payments suggest that between 66-75% of all residents died. Many of the farms there became deserted farms (), which remained vacant until the late 17th century. The Tretten Church parish (which had been a separate parish from Øyer) was merged with the Øyer Church parish after the Black Death, because the decimated population of Tretten no longer could maintain their own priest.

Economy

Øyer has traditionally been a farming and logging municipality.

Recreation is increasingly important economically. Since it opened in 1989, Øyer's Hafjell Alpine Ski Center has grown to include 15 lifts (with an additional in construction) and 28 runs as wells as extensive cross-country skiing runs. It is located about  from the town of Lillehammer, making it very accessible to a larger population. Tobogganing, luge, and bobsled racing (on the 1994 Olympic course) are also found in the area.

Government
All municipalities in Norway, including Øyer, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads.  The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elects a mayor.  The municipality falls under the Vestre Innlandet District Court and the Eidsivating Court of Appeal.

Municipal council
The municipal council  of Øyer is made up of 21 representatives that are elected to four year terms.  The party breakdown of the council is as follows:

The factors of 995 and the prime factors of 995 differ because nine hundred and ninety-five is a composite number. Also, despite being closely related, the prime factors of 995 and the prime factorization of 995 are not exactly the same either. In any case, by reading on you can learn the answer to the question what are the factors of 995? and everything else you want to know about the topic.
What are the Factors of 995?
They are: 995, 199, 5, 1. These are all the factors of 995, and every entry in the list can divide 995 without rest (modulo 0). That's why the terms factors and divisors of 995 can be used interchangeably.
As is the case for any natural number greater than zero, the number itself, here 995, as well as 1 are factors and divisors of 995.
The prime factors of 995 are the prime numbers which divide 995 exactly, without remainder as defined by the Euclidean division. In other words, a prime factor of 995 divides the number 995 without any rest, modulo 0.
For 995, the prime factors are: 5, 199. By definition, 1 is not a prime number.
Besides 1, what sets the factors and the prime factors of the number 995 apart is the word "prime". The former list contains both, composite and prime numbers, whereas the latter includes only prime numbers.
The prime factorization of 995 is 5 x 199. This is a unique list of the prime factors, along with their multiplicities. Note that the prime factorization of 995 does not include the number 1, yet it does include every instance of a certain prime factor.
995 is a composite number. In contrast to prime numbers which only have one factorization, composite numbers like 995 have at least two factorizations.
To illustrate what that means select the rightmost and leftmost integer in 995, 199, 5, 1 and multiply these integers to obtain 995. This is the first factorization. Next choose the second rightmost and the second leftmost entry to obtain the 2nd factorization which also produces 995.
The prime factorization or integer factorization of 995 means determining the set of prime numbers which, when multiplied together, produce the original number 995. This is also known as prime decomposition of 995.
We did not place any calculator here as there are already a plethora of them on the web. But you can find the factors, prime factors and the factorizations of many numbers including 995 by using the search form in the sidebar.
The factors, the prime factors and the prime factorization of 995 mean different things, and in strict terms cannot be used interchangeably despite being closely related.
The factors of nine hundred and ninety-five are: 995, 199, 5, 1. The prime factors of nine hundred and ninety-five are 5, 199. And the prime factorization of nine hundred and ninety-five is 5 x 199. Remember that 1 is not a prime factor of 995.
No matter if you had been searching for prime factorization for 995 or prime numbers of 995, you have come to the right page. Also, if you typed what is the prime factorization of 995 in the search engine then you are right here, of course.
Taking all of the above into account, tasks including write 995 as a product of prime factors or list the factors of 995 will no longer pose a challenge to you.

PLAYER TRACKER: FOUR FORMER ICEHOGS SIGN OVERSEAS
ROCKFORD, Ill. – The Rockford IceHogs' player tracker for the 2019 offseason features four players signing overseas as of June of the offseason. Forwards Victor Ejdsell, Peter Holland, Jordan Schroeder and Brett Welychka have each inked a deal to continue their respective careers outside of Rockford for the 2019-20 campaign.
[VIEW THE FULL TRACKER HERE]
Ejdsell, 24, signed a two-year contract with Farjestad BK of the Swedish Hockey League on May 19. The Karlstad, Sweden native and hero of the IceHogs' overtime marathon against the Wolves during the 2018 Calder Cup playoffs will skate in the top level of the SHL through the 2020-21 season. Ejdsell originally made his IceHogs debut at the tail end of the 2017-18 season and starred with 12 points (7g, 5a) in 13 postseason games during the Calder Cup Playoffs. He potted four game-winners during his postseason dominance, including netting the decisive marker in triple overtime against Chicago in the series-clinching win on April 26.
Last season, Ejdsell's production slowed to 29 points (12g, 17a) in 61 games with Rockford. He chipped in four power-play goals and scored the game-winner on Oct. 24 vs. San Antonio.
Holland, 28, signed a two-year contract with Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg of the Kontinental Hockey League on May 23. The Caledon, Ontario native will now officially play in Russia through the 2020-21 season. During his limited time with the IceHogs during the 2018-19 campaign, Holland was a constant on the scoresheet with 16 points (7g, 9a) in 21 contests. He was acquired in exchange for Darren Raddysh on Feb. 18 and debuted with a two-point effort (2a) in his Hogs debut on Feb. 20 at Grand Rapids. The point-producing Holland also later notched Rockford's longest scoring streak of the campaign with points in six straight games from March 30 – April 9.
Schroeder, 28, signed a one-year contract with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of the KHL on May 17. The Lakeville, Minnesota native was a stalwart in Rockford's lineup last season, leading the team in scoring with a career-high 45 points (19g, 26a) in 73 games. He also led the IceHogs in goals, assists power-play goals, power-play points and shots on goal (185), and posted the second-most multi-point efforts (8) on the campaign. Schroeder's 45 points eclipsed his previous career-high total in 76 games during the 2011-12 season with the Chicago Wolves. The forward, unfortunately, finished 2018-19 sidelined due to a lower-body injury suffered on April 2 vs. San Antonio.
Welychka, 25, signed a one-year contract with the Esbjerg Energy in Denmark on May 29. The first-year Hogs forward split the 2018-19 campaign between Rockford and Indy, skating in 34 ECHL contests and 18 AHL games. He tallied a season-high three points with the Fuel on Oct. 20 vs. Toledo and later notched a season-best five-game point streak with four goals and one assist from Jan. 4 – 12. Welychka also made his Rockford debut on Nov. 2 at Milwaukee and skated to a +1 rating over his final six AHL contests from Feb. 16 – 26.

Siberian Tiger Cubs: Who Could Resist?
This comes to us courtesy of Land of the Leopard National Park. It's in Primorsky Krai in Russia's Far East, not far from Vladivostok.
While these are tigers, the park is so named because it was created in 2012 as a merger of three refuges in order to save the Amur leopard, whose population had dwindled to 30. Its numbers are now back up to over 100.
Much of the territory is common habitat for the tigers and leopards.
Happy 263rd, Wolfi!
He was born on "27. Jänner 1756," as the plaque outside his birthplace on Salzburg's Getreidegasse says, using an Austrian form of January.
I had the fortune to be there between just after Christmas in 1990. As I'd just spent my first two months in Czechoslovakia, my parents had come to meet me in Munich. From there I showed them around Central Europe, including my lodgings in Martin, Slovakia, finishing off with Bratislava and New Year's Eve in Vienna.
The one-night stay in Salzburg included a concert of "Eine kleine Nachtmusik," probably the composer's most popular piece. Though I knew his work fairly well, this was the beginning of a relation with his music that was to go deeper during my years in Europe.
I sang his sumptuous "Ave Verum Corpus" with several choruses in the region – and have sung it with groups in the U.S. as well. The pinnacle of my Mozartiana was learning the bass part to his Requiem, which I was blessed to perform with the St. Cecilia Choir of St. Elizabeth's Cathedral in East Slovakia's Košice.
Please see the video of a rehearsal with that chorus below, as well as memorabilia including the 250th anniversary of his birth in Columbus, Ohio, part of the slideshow above.
Prague: Palach at 50
This is a sad but worthwhile follow-up to my August posts on the 1968 Invasion of Czechoslovakia. Today is the fiftieth anniversary of the self-immolation of Jan Palach, whose memorial on Prague's Wenceslas Square attracts political/historical pilgrims to this day.
I'll leave the description of the scene to William Shawcross's well-informed biography of Alexander Dubček (titled simply Dubček) whose reforms were quashed by the Soviet intervention:
At 3:30 on the drizzling afternoon of 16 January 1969 a battered Škoda drove up Wenceslas Square, past the [equestrian] statue [of St. Wenceslas, saint of Bohemia] and the trams and stopped for a moment below the [National M]useum. A boy of about twenty climbed out of the car and said something to the driver. A young man in the back seat passed him a small can. The boy took it from him and gazed, rather vacantly, at the car as it drove away….
The area where the boy stood had been destroyed by tanks; no effort had been made to repair it because it was to be the site of the main station in an underground railway that was slowly being built in Prague. Blocks of stone lay untidily in the mud, and flimsy metal barriers surrounded the debris in order to stop people tripping over.
The boy stepped past the barriers and over to a fallen block of stone. He set down the can and took off his coat which he laid carefully on the stone. He picked up the can and poured most of its contents over his head and shoulders. The rest he splashed against his chest and trousers. He then flicked a lighter and set his clothes on fire.
Palach left a letter claiming that "further torches will burst into flames" if certain demands for political freedom were not met. There were supposedly thirteen other young people ready to burn themselves for their cause; however, none of them every materialized. It appears, however, that there were a considerable number of other independent self-immolations in protest of the Soviet occupation and the politics of "normalization," and similar acts were carried out in other Soviet Bloc countries in the next few years, apparently in imitation of Palach.
The young protestor died three days later of his wounds. Afterwards, his body lay in state at the Carolinum of Charles University while some 350,000 mourners filed by to view the coffin; all the policing was performed by students while official security forces remained in the back ground. The funeral – apparently allowed by the state as another pressure release valve – was attended by about 800,000.
It is difficult to estimate how much difference Palach's act of desperation made. One former dissident, Tomáš Halík, has said, "when, during interrogations in the eighties, they made promises here and threatened me there, I always remembered Palach and gained the strength to say no."
The twentieth anniversary of Palach's act in January 1989 helped set in motion the Velvet Revolution of that November. Dissident playwright Václav Havel turned up at a protest held on Wenceslas Square, apparently only to watch, and was uninvolved in organizing the event, but was nonetheless arrested. This was his last detention under the regime, and calls for his release, helped build the movement that eventually forced the communist government to resign in December 1989.
IF YOU GO TO PRAGUE
Palach was initially buried in Prague's Olšany Cemetery, but in 1973 his remains were skirted away by authorities and cremated, with the ashes given to his mother for burial in a discrete location that would not attract a cult following. They were finally returned to his original grave in 1990. There is a memorial to Palach and another student who burned himself in February 1969 on Wenceslas Square. Jan Palach Square was established in December 1989, right after the Velvet Revolution. It lies at the foot of the Manes Bridge on the Old Town side of the Vltava River.
Prosit Neujahr: New Year's Greetings and Two Austrian Destinations for 2019
"Prosit Neujahr" is an expression combining "Cheers" and "New Year" used in various regions of the German-speaking world. The instrumentalists in Vienna's Musikverein shout this toast at their famous New Year's concerts.
2019's event, broadcast by PBS, celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the network's coverage from the Austrian capital. Host Hugh Bonneville commended the State Opera for currently holding its 150th season. The program also explained the relationship between the Opera and the Vienna Philharmonic. You'll have to watch it here, as I can't embed it.
The concert opened with the overture to Johann Strauss, Jr.'s operetta The Gypsy Baron, which Bonneville aptly called a piece full of "Hungarian spice, dripping with Viennese schmaltz." The tempo moves from fiery to languid to flowing. Much the same could be said of the czardas from Strauss's opera Knight Pasman, which came half-way through the program. Some passages evoke an air of mystery found only in Hungarian (or Magyar-inspired) music, rather like the lingering phrases of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody number 2. In any event, Knight Pasman is representative of the multi-ethnic influences in the old Austro-Hungary. It's based on a narrative poem by Janos Arany, a leader of his nation's Romantic movement, and the libretto was written by Jewish-Hungarian Ludwig/Lajos Doczi.
That's the sort of thing I widely remark on in this blog – for examples, see posts on The Czardas Princess and the breakup of Austria-Hungary.
The hour-and-a-half show also introduced a Turkish march by showing the "Turkish Room" in the Hofburg imperial palace complex. It was decorated in this style by Crown Prince Rudolf following a visit to Upper Egypt shortly after the Suez Canal was opened in 1869. Although I've been inside the Hofburg three times (and passed by scores of times), I've not actually managed to see that room, so I'll be looking for tours that include it in future visits to Vienna. But back in 2014, I did see a good selection of artifacts Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand brought home after his round-the-world tour.
One other travel tip from this PBS production is Castle Grafenegg in Lower Austria, which holds the Grafenegg Music Festival every summer and hosts a composer in residence each year.


POST SURGERY - Luis A. Cenedese, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Patients can have an uncomfortable recovery after Rhinoplasty. My recommendations are as follows: Sleep with your head elevated on two pillows. Avoid eating or drinking quickly which could cause you to cough. Arnica gel and oral granules help to diminish bruising. Apply ice compresses to your eyes for several day after surgery especially in the morning. Remove your packing with a tweezer by grabbing the packing and pulling straight forward (when instructed by your physician). Have paper towels prepared to squeeze your nose for 20 minutes between fingers to stop excessive bleeding. Do not remove the tapes applying pressure to the nasal tip or the plastic splint on the nasal bridge. If the splint becomes dislodged you may clean it, place it in water in the microwave for 60 seconds then carefully reapply with pressure to your nose. After removing the packing clean your nose by carefully inserting with a twisting motion a q-tip applicator straight towards the back of your head. In a few days the nasal drainage will decrease; at this point use peroxide on the applicator. Finish with a small amount of saline gel or antibiotic ointment. When the bleeding ceases you can gently blow your nose. Do not bend forward to tie your shoes or lift heavy items. Avoid dusty areas to prevent sneezing. When your nose stops bleeding you can gently blow your nose. If bleeding is excessive call your physician; if not available proceed to your nearest emergency room.
The first day after breast augmentation you will typically begin to have moderate pain especially when moving your arms. I prefer Vicodin 1/2 pill every two hours or 1 pill every four hours for more severe pain. Dressings can be left in place until you wish to shower usually on the second post operative day. At this time you can remove the gauze pads and the tapes holding them in place. Shower with soap and water, pat the wounds dry. Do not remove the steri-strips or paper tapes on the skin, they are holding the wounds closed. You may clean the strips and any exposed incisions with peroxide or alcohol. Some patients choose to apply antibiotic ointment over the strips. Reapply gauze pads held only with your bra until there is no drainage, typically lasting up to one week. Do not allow moist tapes or dressings to sit on wounds as this can cause infection. It will be difficult to get out of bed the first day after surgery so sleep with your back propped up on two pillows and roll out of bed. Valium taken two to three times daily is helpful to reduce muscle spasm and helps you to fall asleep. A milder form of muscle relaxant Carisprodol is less sedating. The more active that you are and the less time that you remain in bed the faster you will be back in action. Antibiotics need to be taken for one week usually twice daily. By the second day you should be out of the house, the third day back to work and the seventh day to the gym.
Activity as soon as possible after liposuction is recommended; not only does it improve circulation but it raises the spirit. Moderate exercise and work can be commenced two days after the procedure. A moderate amount light red watery drainage is typical and beneficial for one to two days. This represents the toumescent solution and inflammatory fluids. Suture sites should be cleansed twice daily with peroxide followed by application of antibiotic ointment. Absorbing pads kept over the incision sites will keep your garments dry. A compression garment should be worn most of the time for one month after liposuction. Wrinkling of the garment is to be avoided as this may lead to irregular fat contour. Pain is typically mild to moderate; adequate medication will be prescribed and taken every four to six hours if needed. Sutures are removed after one week. Massage is beneficial to improve circulation and soften occasionally encountered firm areas. It is always recommended to call the office for advice.
Abdominoplasty is one of the most involved and complicated aesthetic procedures. A compression binder is applied immediately after surgery. This is to be worn continuously for the week after surgery. It maintains pressure on the operative site thereby decreasing bleeding and bruising. Absorbent pads are to be changed starting the second day after surgery. You may shower at this time. Incisions and drain site if present should be cleaned of all material with alcohol or peroxide. Antibiotic ointment and clean gauze are then replaced twice daily or more often if needed. If a drain is placed the reservoir should be emptied, recorded and replaced on vacuum at least twice daily. You should move your legs and stay out of bed as much as possible. Patients at higher risk of leg vein clots will be instructed on the use of daily blood thinner. Avoid excessive movements of the midsection. A snug girdle should be worn for one month. If a drain is utilized antibiotics should be taken twice daily after meals. At the seventh day follow up visit dressings will be changed and steri-strips applied. Excessive swelling, bleeding, fever or pain should be reported to your surgeon. If not available report to the best staffed emergency room in your area. Fatigue, mild dizziness, swelling and pain are to be expected. As with all surgical procedures please refrain from and avoid second hand smoke for one month.
The majority of lasers and chemical peels work by transmitting heat to the superficial and deeper layers of the skin. Surgical scars heal by a modification of the inflammatory process. There are several options to decrease this inflammation and post treatment redness. Standard pharmaceutical options include Motrin, Advil, Diclofenac pills and cream. These medications taken after bleeding is not a concern diminish pain and swelling and inflammation. Steroid creams applied for limited periods are also effective. Oral antibiotics like Doxycycline will also decrease inflammation as well as diminishing the risk of infection.Herbal and natural supplements also are effective. B Propolis a natural antibiotic may be taken by mouth or applied as a topical cream. Arnica Montana pellets (3-5) in addition to pure Arnica extract gel 3-4 times daily aid in decreasing bruising and swelling. Aloe gel preferably from the leaf has been proven to hasten the healing of open wounds and burns. Calendula gel or ointment, Boswellia and Curcumin 200 mg decrease inflammation. Pineapple containing Bromelaine and asparagus, a good source of Vitamin K decrease bruising and bleeding. Fresh Ginger grated into salads and juices or boiled in tea is a proven anti-inflammatory. Multivitamins in the post operative period help to replenish what is used by the body in healing the wounds and stress of surgery. Zinc, Beta Carotene, Vitamin A, Vitamin C powder and Selenium are important. Vitamin E 200-400 IU daily by mouth and the oil applied to healing scars decrease production of scar collagen. Our experience with lightening of brown pigmented scars with the Intense Pulsed Light Laser and TCA peels has been positive. Several conservative treatments two to four weeks apart in addition to skin bleaching creams have resulted in postitive results. Application of pressure as well as injection of Fluoruracil and Kenalog help to lighten and flatten thick scars.
Please consult with your surgeon at to the timing of taking any medication or supplement. If there is any question about wound care call or text your doctor prior to making a false move.

57 Crossfields
Crossfields
Paul Crossfield grew up in Vienna and witnessed the Anschluss when the Nazis unified Austria with Germany in 1938.
As enemies of the Nazis, the Crossfields had to flee for their lives. They lost their home and all their possessions. During the escape the parents and children were separated and were not reunited again for several years. Paul escaped to North Africa where he joined the British Air Force stationed in Malta.
While on a weekend pass with friends they met a group of WRENS, one of whom, Isobel Williamson, he would propose to six weeks later. They served overseas for the duration of the war. After the war they moved to Canada where Paul pursued his medical career.
Paul and Isobel Crossfield
My father, Paul Crossfield, grew up in Vienna, Austria. He had two brothers and a sister. Their house was full of beautiful murals and art, opera and classical music, and they were absorbed in the culture Vienna had to offer. They were however, enemies of the Nazis and when Germany entered Vienna the family had to escape. They lost their home and all of their possessions. All of the children and parents separated and did not see each other for many years.
My father, who was very young at the time, traveled in secrecy, often hiding in boats, floating down the rivers, or by any method possible to escape the Nazis and eventually arrived in North Africa and Egypt where he joined the British Royal Air Force. After fighting in North Africa, he was stationed in Malta, a fortress island in the middle of the Mediterranean. While in the Air Force and in the war, he also went to medical school. His position in the Air Force was that of a navigator initially, but then he became part of the medical core.
My mother, Isobel Williamson, (her maiden name) was from Glasgow and also had two brothers and a sister. One brother, David, was also a navigator in Royal Air Force. Her mother stayed at home raising the children, while her father was a rail engineer who loved football. For my mother it was exciting to leave Glasgow and the constant bombing and she joined the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRENS). While she was not originally recruited to go to Malta, fate intervened as she replaced another woman at the last moment on a troop ship to Malta. My mother always remembered how scared but excited she was in the boat trip from England to Malta through the Mediterranean.
While stationed in Malta, my parents met on a weekend pass to a village called Taormina which is in Sicily, Italy. It is beautiful and is situated in the middle of the Mediterranean about 1000 feet above sea level. Once an ancient Greek city with a coliseum, that still remains, the village is full of cobbled stone roads, small restaurants, and breathtaking vistas. To the south is Mount Etna, still to this day spewing lava and steam from the volcano's mouth. Below Taormina are the turquoise blue waters of the Mediterranean. It is one of the most beautiful and romantic places that you could ever meet in.
My father was there on a weekend pass from Malta with two other Air Force friends. My mother was there, also on a weekend pass, with two girls from the WRENS. The three men were walking one way, and the three women walking the other. One of the men turned around and asked the girls if they wished to go sailing. The girls accepted and my parents rapidly fell in love with each other.
Within six weeks my father had proposed to my mother and they lived a long and healthy life moving to Calgary, after the war in 1950. They stayed together until my father died in 1991. My father, who became a doctor, and was head of the intensive care unit at the Holy Cross Hospital for over 25 years. He loved being with people and his family. Our house was full of music, the arts, friends, and wonderful conversations of many languages. They often entertained and it was joyous.
Some of the stories my father told were quite horrendous and often he did not want to speak of the war. Other times he spoke of the excitement and good times including skiing at Mt. Etna and field hockey in Kenya for the Royal Air Force. My mother did not have the same adventures or misadventures as my father other than living in such dramatic times. They were deeply in love and that romance helped them through the war years together in Malta.
In 2001, a week after 9/11, my family and my mother went to Malta and Taormina to revisit where my parents had met. When we arrived at Taormina, I lost the hotel reservation and I therefore had to walk through the town of Taormina to find new accommodations, as most places were booked. I was stunned by the beauty and magnificent views. At last I found a hotel terracing down the cliffs. My mother, who I had left behind at a square, walked with us to the hotel. To her amazement, and ours, the hotel was situated at the exact place where my father and mother had met in World War II.
A short while ago, I was going through some papers of my mothers to help her and I found a picture of three young girls including my mother. On the back of the photograph were the words, "Me and the two girls when I met Paul". For my parents, human spirit and love shone through despite the horrors of war.
The Seige of Malta
On April 15th the island of Malta became the first British Commonwealth country to be awarded the George Cross for bravery – an honour normally reserved for individuals. The small Mediterranean colony, located between Libya and Sicily, was one of the most strategically vital Allied outposts of the war.
It was the only British base between Egypt and Gibraltar and it was from Malta that German and Italian supply lines to North Africa could be harassed, while its denial to the enemy prevented the Axis from completely closing off the central Mediterranean. Until the capture of Libya in 1942 it was an island under siege, suffering more aerial bombardment per square foot than any other area during the Second World War.
Malta during the Second World War
Since it was first captured during the Napoleonic Wars, the small island of Malta had been one of Great Britain's most important bases. Located at the center of the Mediterranean, it sits astride the shipping lanes near the Sicilian Channel between Italy and Africa and the Eastern and Western Mediterranean.
During the Second World War, Malta's strategic importance was magnified by the early catastrophes which befell the Allied powers. With France and the French Navy removed from the fight, and with the Italian declaration of war in June 1940, the Royal Navy found itself in an extremely precarious position.
From the outset, Malta was surrounded by Axis territory and was not expected to hold out. As a result, the Mediterranean Fleet's base was transferred from the Maltese capital of Valletta to the port of Alexandria in Egypt. However, after the first feeble Italian air assaults were fought off however, the British reconsidered their position – deciding that Malta could and would be held.
A small handful of RAF Sea Gladiators and Hurricanes managed to protect the island and limit Axis attacks on Allied shipping during 1940. And Malta soon proved itself a valuable base from which British aircraft and submarines could strike at the Italian and German convoys proceeding south to reinforce their armies in Africa. By 1941 the impact on the German Afrika Corps was significant.
In November a force of British cruisers and destroyers operating out of Malta destroyed an entire Axis convoy bound for Libya. The Italians suspended their re-supply missions and declared that the Libyan port of Tripoli was "practically blockaded." By December 1941, German aircraft were limited to one sortie per day for lack of fuel and Rommel was forced to fall back and shorten his lines.
However, the island fortress was also in a precarious position. It needed to be supplied by sea; and running the gauntlet between either Egypt or Gibraltar to the Grand Harbour at Valletta was a dangerous task. Axis aircraft and submarines targeted every convoy that attempted to reach Malta. Out of the 86 supply ships which ran this course between August 1940 and August 1942, 31 were sunk and many others were severely damaged.
The battle was in large measure one for supplies. The British were resolved that they would do whatever was necessary to get the vital convoys of food, bombs and fuel to the island while the Germans and Italians did everything in their power to sink the supply ships before they arrived.
In 1942 the supply situation in Malta had become critical. Constant air battles had taken a toll on the defenders. In March 1942 the British carriers Argus and Eagle flew in the first Spitfire Mark Vs, and in April the American carrier Wasp delivered more, but the pace of battle was such that the Germans succeeded in destroying most of them – either on the ground or in the air – in short order. By March the British had lost air superiority over Malta and found the only way to bring in supplies was by submarine. With petrol, ammunition and food dwindling, it was feared that the island might soon have to surrender.
In desperation, Operation Pedestal was launched in August 1942. Designed to re-supply Malta before it was forced into submission, the British convoy was an attempt to run some fifty ships past the Axis bombers and submarines. For five days the convoy was subjected to constant attacks. Of the original fourteen supply ships, nine were sunk. In addition, the Eagle, two cruisers, a destroyer and more than 400 lives were lost. However the ships that got through brought close to 32,000 tons of general cargo into the Grand Harbour. The supplies were enough to give the island about ten weeks more life beyond its existing stocks.
It was only in October 1942, with the British victory at El Alemain that the siege was lifted. For months the British 8th Army drove the Axis forces back and by January 1943 Rommel and the Afrika Corps were being forced into Tunisia. The stranglehold on Malta was broken and the island was secure.
For the two years of the siege Malta lived with constant Axis air attacks. Between June 1940 and December 1942 the British lost 289 Spitfires and Hurricanes in action, and some 844 aircraft of all types lost to all causes in the air and on the ground. RAF fighters shot down some 570 enemy planes. Canada's most successful pilot of the war, Flight Lieutenant George "Buzz" Beurling, was responsible for 27 of theses.
During the siege, Malta suffered a total of 3,000 raids – making it the most bombed place on earth. More than 14,000 bombs were dropped, destroying about 30,000 buildings and killing more than 1,500 civilians. However, the island fortress had held. For three years Malta was a thorn in the side of the Axis forces in the Mediterranean, starving their forces in Africa of supplies and keeping the Sea open to British and Allied forces. Holding the island was a costly affair, and one of the greatest strategic victories of the war.

Why the Hellcat Is Rap's Signature Muscle Car
Photo by Mark Kauzlarich/Bloomberg via Getty Images
by Sheldon Pearce
American muscle cars have never been as widely popular as foreign luxury and sports cars among rappers, but they still have their own distinct legacy as status symbols. Eazy-E had his classic Chevy Impala lowrider, OutKast had their Monte Carlos, and the '73 Chevelle has popped up across the South, in songs by Young Thug, Kevin Gates, Travis Scott and Young Dolph. E-40 even ran down a checklist on "Muscle Cars." Curren$y indexed an entire high-performance showroom on his Muscle Car Chronicles. But no muscle car has ever held more sway in rap than the Hellcat does right now.
The name "Hellcat" carries a very singular symbolism: a Chimera rising from the infernos of the underworld. It's a name bore by a fictional biker gang, vicious alien animals, and demon-like creatures in Dungeons & Dragons. It's been made an aircraft carrier fighter, a tank destroyer, a short-range surface to air missile system. Anything deemed a Hellcat is ferocious and damned, the Beast personified—or made metal.
The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat lives up to those qualifications. It makes the muscle cars of the past seem modest by comparison. It's a monster second in menace only to the Demon. The Hellcat, which starts at around $70,000 for a 2019 model, has a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI engine that is rated at 707 horsepower and 650 lb⋅ft of torque. All that to say: it's loud and it goes fast. As YoungBoy Never Broke Again qualified it, on "Solar Eclipse": "Hellcat, not a Charger/Way faster than a 'Rari."
Mentions of Hellcats across rap conjure images of Vin Diesel as gearhead-turned-high-flying-covert-operative Dom Toretto in The Fast and The Furious franchise, part rubber-burning outlaw, part unbreakable badass. It's a connotation made explicit by Lil Durk on "Melody": "that new Hellcat, that Fast & Furious," he raps, damn near sticking the franchise logo on the bumper. (Actually, Dom pretty much only drives Challengers and Chargers in recent installments of the series.) During Fate of the Furious, he uses a Hellcat to both lead a convoy through a military outpost amid a high-speed chase and to flip a truck. The car's appearances in song often echo the mythos of Dom's ability to avoid capture. "Ridin in that Hellcat, ain't no catching up to me," 21 Savage raps on A Boogie's "Undefeated," a freeing, on-the-run sentiment Offset makes clearer on "Hook Up": "12 behind me in the Hellcat—I lose 'em." They can't be caught yet their engines can often still be heard from afar, seemingly as one last taunt.
Additionally, the roar of a souped-up Hellcat engine carries an intimidation factor. "You hear me down the block when the Hellcat screech," Chief Keef rapped on "Hellcat," as if it instills the same sense of foreboding as a howling dragon or T-Rex. Maxo Kream furthered the idea on "Hobbies": Hear the engine, Hellcat make the car sound Jurassic." Lil Uzi Vert put it more simply: "My red Hellcat, it sound scary." Hellcats exist in express opposition to the sleek silence of luxe supercars; they are for those who want to be seen and heard. "The Hellcat will pull up howling but that Glock screaming," Tee Grizzley raps on "We the Ones." There is power in having your engine proclaim your looming entrance, and it can be as much a symbol that you've Made It. In "Trap Star," Lil Baby raps about coming through in a brand new Hellcat to sell nicks and dimes to the fiends at the West End Mall. "If you're a young black dude from the hood you want to come through the hood in a car that makes a lot of noise," he told Noisey, and the Hellcat was his first car to announce him before he arrived, to mark his presence.
Rappers have gravitated to the car for reasons between the two poles—their power and their speed, their ability to help you make a grand entrance or make your escape. Quavo, Tee Grizzley, and Soulja Boy all have songs called "Hellcat." In 2015, Young Dro released a mixtape called Hell Cat as an homage. Last year, Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex, a noted fan of muscle cars, commissioned a Hellcat with a '69 Charger build. Months earlier, GQ took Killer Mike to test drive three muscle cars, including the Hellcat. Mike called muscle cars "a tribute to American ingenuity" and said the Hellcat is his everyday car—"I'm in the streets every day in this blacked-out Hellcat with black tint." (In 2017, Mike tweeted that his Hellcat was his "peace of mind in these weird and wonder-filled times!") His test drive revealed that the Hellcat has more horsepower and goes from 0-60 faster than the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R and Chevy Camaro ZL1.
But a lot of cars are fast; a few even have more horsepower. Rappers aren't drawn to these muscle cars just because of their specs, because they can outperform other muscle cars or can be remodeled to resemble a beast from the past. They are drawn to them because, as a package, they signify a devil-may-care fearlessness, a fire walker's confidence. It's the machine the abyss spat back up, a fiend built only for a kindred spirit. As Kodak Black put it: "[I'm] In a Hellcat 'cause I'm a hell-raiser." When revved and roaring, rappers imagine they're beast masters reining in a force of nature.

Batman: The Animated Series coming to Blu-ray in 2018
2017-10-09 12:30:00by Anthony Marzano
Art deco superheroes in HD. Don't mind my drool.
At New York Comic Con this weekend Warner Bros. announced that they were moving forward with plans to release a remastered version of their classic animated series Batman: The Animated Series on Blu-ray in 2018. Not many details are known but the announcement came as the companies public relations executive Gary Miereanu was handing out a free copy of the DVD box set.
The biggest question as of now will be whether or not the Blu-ray release will follow the release strategy of coming out in volumes or as the entire series. I personally can't wait. The original animated series was a staple of my Saturday mornings and shaped so much of my childhood and things that I grew to love that I'll gladly pay the money for this, although I'd prefer the complete series version.

Q: Using custom data-attribute value based on popover selection - not working 'm trying to use the custom data attribute value based on the the selection made on the options displayed in the popover.
Here in the below example I've a message reading "I am single with no kids" where on clicking single a popover appears with the option (single / married). If the user clicks married, then I am should be replaced with We are MARRIED with no kids
Fiddle
HTML

        I am

Single with

married

single

test

                no Kids.

CSS
.popover-title {
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;
}

JS
$('.popover-markup>.trigger').popover({
    html: true,
    placement: 'top',
    content: function () {
        return $(this).parent().find('.content').html();
    }

});

A: Try

married

single

then
$(document).on('click', 'ul.marital-status li', function () {
    $('#m-marital-status').css('color', 'red').html($(this).data('status'));
    $('#marital-status .trigger').text($(this).text())
    $('.popover-markup>.trigger').popover('hide')
});

Demo: Fiddle

A: You need to delegate the click event to the popover content with something like:
$('body').on("click", ".popover li", function() {
  // Code here
})

Here's a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/h7fVL/3/

A: What it happens is that you get the html of the popup as a string and pass it to Bootstrap. It later creates another div where it puts this content. And there are two problems with this. You are trying to attach the events before the popup is shown. And your selector for the click events is actually matching the html markup prepared for the popup, but not the actual DOM elements in the shown popup. Here is a solution of the problem:
trigger.popover({
    html: true,
    placement: 'top',
    content: function () {
        setTimeout(function() {
            $('.popover-content li').click(function() {
                closePopup();
                $('#m-marital-status').css('color','red');
            });
        }, 500);
        return $(this).parent().find('.content').html();
    }
});
