Europe's Cities Absorb Sharia Law

If the West keeps betraying the democratic value of individual freedom, Islamic fundamentalists, like those who imposed burqas on Libyan women, will do the same to Western women. (Photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty Images)
London Mayor Sadiq Khan banned advertisements that promote "unrealistic expectations of women's body image and health". Now Berlin is planning to ban images in which women are portrayed as "beautiful but weak, hysterical, dumb, crazy, naive, or ruled by their emotions". Tagesspiegel's Harald Martenstein said the policy "could have been adopted from the Taliban manifesto".
The irony is that this wave of morality and "virtue" is coming from cities governed by uninhibited leftist politicians, who for years campaigned for sexual liberation. It is now a "feminist" talking point to advocate sharia policy.
To paraphrase the American writer Daniel Greenfield, the irony of women celebrating their own suppression is both heartbreaking and stupefying.
Within days after the Islamic State conquered the city of Sirte in Libya two years ago, enormous billboards appeared in the Islamist stronghold warning women they must wear baggy robes that cover their entire bodies, and no perfume. These "sharia stipulations for hijab" included wearing dense material and a robe that does not "resemble the attire of unbelievers".
Two years later, Europe's three most important cities — London, Paris and Berlin — are adopting the same sharia trend.
Paris has said au revoir to "sexist" ads on public billboards. The Paris city council announced its ban after the Socialist Mayor Anne Hidalgo said the move meant that Paris was "leading the way" in the fight against sexism. London Mayor Sadiq Khan also banned advertisements that promote "unrealistic expectations of women's body image and health". Now Berlin is planning to ban images in which women are portrayed as "beautiful but weak, hysterical, dumb, crazy, naive, or ruled by their emotions". Der Tagesspiegel's Harald Martenstein said the policy "could have been adopted from the Taliban manifesto".
The irony is that this wave of morality and "virtue" is coming from cities governed by uninhibited leftist politicians, who for years campaigned for sexual liberation.
There is a reason for this grotesque campaign banning these images. These cities host significant Muslim populations; and politicians — the same who frantically are enacting mandatory multiculturalism — want to please "Islam". It is now a "feminist" talking point to advocate sharia policy, as does Linda Sarsour. The result is that, today, few feminists dare to criticize Islam.
It is happening everywhere. Dutch municipalities are "advising" their employees to not wear mini-skirts. There are women-only hours at Swedish swimming pools. German schools are sending letters to parents asking children to avoid wearing "revealing clothes".
In 1969, Germany was overwhelmed by a debate on introducing into schools the "Sexualkundeatlas", an "atlas" of sexual science. Now the effort is to desexualize German society. The newspaper Die Welt commented:
"Thanks to Justice Minister Heiko Maas we finally know why on New Year's Eve, at Cologne Central Station, about a thousand women were victims of sexual violence: because of sexist advertising. Too many eroticized models, too much naked skin on our billboards, too many erotic mouths, too many miniskirts in fashion magazines, too many wiggling rear-ends and chubby breasts in television spots. It is another step in the direction of a 'submission'".
Instead of nipples and buttocks, Die Welt concludes, "should we urge the use of burqa or veil, as Mrs. Erdogan does?"
The same German élites who suggest banning "sexist" billboards censored the crude details of the mass sexual assaults in Cologne. Meanwhile, a liberal Berlin mosque, which banned burqas and opened its door to gays and to unveiled women, is now under police protection after threats from Muslim supremacists.
Europe's élites have adopted a double standard: they are proud to host an exhibit of a Christian crucifix submerged in urine, but quickly capitulate to Muslim demands to censor cartoons of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed. The Italian authorities went to great efforts to spare Iran's President Hassan Rouhani a view of nudity on ancient sculptures in the Capitoline Museums of Rome.
If the West keeps on betraying the democratic value of individual freedom on which Western civilization is based, Islamic fundamentalists, like those who imposed burqas on Libyan women, will start imposing them on Western women. They may even begin with those feminist élites who first created the sexual revolution to emancipate women in the 1960s, and who are now infatuated with an obscurantist garment that hides women in a portable prison.

A 16-year-old hid a rifle and ammunition in his guitar case, which police say he planned to use to murder a number of teenage girls. When the boy's parents found the weapon they called the police.
The boy, from Falkenberg, 100 kilometres south of Gothenburg, was arrested a few weeks ago, along with a 15-year-old girl. The pair were suspected of conspiracy to murder. Their target was other youngsters.
The boy and girl were released into the care of social services, since when the boy has been in a secure unit at a clinic. According to newspaper Hallands-Nyheter, the boy has admitted planning to shoot several girls who had "breached his boundaries."
Prosecutor Mats Forsén told Hallands-Nyheter that suspicions against the boy had strengthened during the police investigation, but that suspicions against the girl were no longer as strong. A decision on any potential prosecution is expected in a few weeks.

As a continuation from my last post, lets look at a single handed fly rods designed-built for streamers, such as that I use for Pike and Streamers. Though these fly lines are larger than those associated with trout, like trout lines, the fly line diameters (ranging from 0.052″ to 0.070″) are smaller than any guide. But unlike a trout line, the need to pass a thick junction associated with multi-tip lines and shooting head will often be a frequent event, id est during a cast setup or in the moment of trying to land the fish.
7 to 9 wt Traditional Fly Rod: Hopkins and Holloway Size 1 minimum (at the top).
Alternative in Single Foot: Fuji TLSG 8 or REC Recoil Size 2 (at the top).
5 to 6 wt Traditional Fly Rod: Snake Brand Size 1 maximum (at the top).
3 to 4 wt Traditional Fly Rod: Snake Brand Size 1/0 maximum (at the top).
European Nymph Rod: REC Recoil Single Foot Size 2 (at the top).
Also exploring Hopkins Hooloway Single Foot.
As far as Spey Lines, the line diameters range from 0.084″ (SGS Trouter 324 gr) to 0.103″ (Airflo 570gr Skagit). But again, it is the junctions that drives the need given the use of shooting head, running lines and multi-tips. What is the heaviest junction in my collection? 0.190″on a Airflo Delta Spey Long, 9-10 Multi-Tip. This being the case, what would I plan on using the following guides on a spey rod.
Whats next? How do my new standards compare to some production rods that I have in-house.
Last why am I doing this? Answer: the lack of a singular unified "driver" from rod manufacturers, guide suppliers and builders has resulted in some diverse recommendations and me trying to define what is right (or best). I think this diversity illustrates there are many good answers, a few bad ones and maybe an occassional excellent answer. So, I need to spend some time to decide what I believe is right – by collecting some hard data and thinking about it. In this way, I am consistent for a reason I can understand and articulate – I want a light guide that will not inhibit the use of the backing, line and leader.
In earlier postings, I documented my understanding of the static weight of affixed guides on a fly rod blank (top) and determine there was a point of diminishing returns. Also after some experiments, I have decided to move away from the 90's wisdom that larger guides are better for shooting line and created a baseline for guide size selection.
I continue reading and came across a couple of articles-discussions from one of the old masters – Tom Morgan – who advocates for the smallest guide possible – weight saving and better directional control (reduce wobble-vibration) on the cast. On the Snake Brand's website Tom recommendations were finer than mine.
Having never seen a guide fail, I asked when is a guide to small? My answer became, when it is too small to "freely" pass a line.
It was noted the thickest lines were Wulff TT and Airflo 40+ Tapers (no surprise).
Silk Lines are reported to be finer.
Given all these diameters are much smaller than any snake guide, there is no such thing as too small of a guide for a traditional trout rod! The only consideration-exception is some European Nymphing Technicques, such as the French Leader, were the leader to line connection is often in the guides, so here we need to consider the impact of junction.
Maxima Chameleon 25 lb Mail Knot onto to a fly line with a prefection loop f0r the leader. The resulting maximum diameter being 0.090″ to 0.100″ – matching or better than the best OEM Loop (a RIO Trout LT 5 over 0.100″).
If you are trying to pass OEM loops, be prepared loops as large as 0.150″ on a trout line. If the OEM loop is bulky (greater than 0.150″) replace with the aforemention nail knot 25lb Maxima Chameleon loop.
Sidebar, I was once advised to use Mason Hard 30lb for this connection, but I found it too stiff, in that it harm the even energy transfer from line to leader and tied bulky nail knots. After some experimentation and casting, I settle on Maxima's 25 lb Chameleon to transition from line to leader.
How does the opinions of Tom, my measurements and reflection influence my line guide selection (at the top)?
3wt & 4wt Traditional Fly Rod: Use Size 1/0 Snake Brand Guides.
5wt & 6wt Traditional Fly Rod: Use Size 1 Snake Brand Guides.
An European Nymph Rod: REC Single Foot Recoil – Size 2.
Also exploring the Hopkins Holloway Single Foot Guides to.
And if I (you) fancy a finer rod, then go one size down! But for now, I will keep a little more space to pass through the leader knots.
Some guide inner diameters to help me reaffirmed matching "line size" to the guide.
Please note the measurements were not with the best tools (to counter the twist), so my estimated accuracy is +- 0.01″. And yes, Snake Brand Guides are smaller.
Next posting(s), measurements as it pertains to Bass, Pike and Spey Rods.
ultralight rod where flexibility is important, use REC RSF2 on the top section. Example would be a 3wt 10′ nymph rod and will note this is how Grey (of Hardy) builds their light nymph rods to.
a traditional 4-5 wt trout rod, such as a Bamboo 4wt 7'6″, use Snake Brand Guide Size 1 on the top.
for 3wt or lighter, consider Hopkins and Hollway Light Series, such as HSSGL1 or a 1/0 Guide.
remember to touch up the feet, so the thread transition from rod onto guide is fine. There will be a same weight savings, but more importantly you are able to reduce the amount of epoxy and stiffening effect that results.
a traditional 6wt or greater rod, use Hopkins and Holloway Standard Guide 1 on the top. Example would be G-Loomis GL3 7'wt 9′ for Smallmouth Bass fishing.
a 7+wt rod where flexibility (but not necessarily weight) is important, such as a 12'6″ 7wt Spey, consider the Fuji TLSG8 guides.
I re-look at some reference material I have collected over the years. Recommendations for bigger guides, lighter guides and many different sizes. I do not think there is "the right answer", so it is up to what one feels is right. Larger guides are not necessary and once we get to Size 1 the differences in weight are lower in priority. Of greater significance is Single versus Double Foot, placement and selection of flyline. I will post later some additional comparative pictures with the REC single foot guides, but it is time to move on.
The pictures below illustrate, though the guides all state "Size 1", the differences in weight are achieved by the obvious – using smaller wire and loops.
How much does an affixed guide weigh?
On a 5″ section to a typical rod top.
From this measurements, I also been able to create a model that assumes when all is equal (rod section, size of wrap, et cetera), provide a comparative look of the guides static relationship to a fly rod top. So what is the relationship …..
The HSSG2 is the heaviest guide I would use and reflects the common recommendation in the mid-90s to use larger guides for shooting line (which I no longer agree with). Clearly, the greatest weight is the rod blank (or a fly line), but it s the guide that has the greatest impact.
And yes, the colour preserver had no measureable weight.
Graph 3 – Using my old standby H&H, but a size reflecting my standards today – HSSG1.
Not as obvious in this page, but moving from a Size 2 to Size 1, the guide itself is 25% lighter.
Though, I have to ask, why not a smaller or lighter guide. Need to think about this, but I am incline to believe we get to a point where the impact of the guide weight is not as significant relative when we include the fly line (or how the guide is attached -double versus single foot).
Graph 4 – Getting lighter – Still with H&H, but using a light Size 1 Guide – HSSGL1.
And now we weight of the thread and epoxy exceeds the guide.
A good standard for a like double-foot snake guide.
Ligther and finer, but if you really want to save weight, eliminate some thread and epoxy and go to a single foot guide. Note from the datasheets from REC, RSN1 has the same loop diameter as RSF2 (and the same weight too).
So, if you need the lightest rod, yes, go with the RECoil RSF single foot guides, otherwise, my emerging standard is likely to focus on Snake Brand Guides, Size 1 at the top (or maybe smaller).
What about Fuji Ceramics? Nothing wrong with them (as clearly proven on my Sage RPLXi 9wt), but as illustrated below with the light TLSG8, the static impact is higher.

Even if you take little to no prescription medications at this time, you should still consider joining a Medicare drug plan. If you choose not to join a Medicare drug plan when you are first eligible, and you do not have other creditable prescription drug coverage, you will likely pay a late enrollment penalty (this results in higher premiums) if you choose to join later.
You can join, switch, or drop a Medicare Part D Plan during the following times: when you first become eligible for Medicare or between October 15 and December 7 of every year (your coverage will begin on January 1 of the following year). In certain situations you may be able to join, switch, or drop Medicare Part D Plans during a special enrollment period (like if you lost creditable drug coverage, move out of the service area, or if you qualify for "extra help").
You can choose a Medicare Part D plan by calling your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) and having them compare Part D Plans that are right for you. Once you choose a Medicare Drug Plan, you join by calling the plan or enrolling online. Depending on your situation, you can also switch to a new Medicare Part D plan by joining another plan during one of the times mentioned above. You do not need to cancel your old Medicare Part D plan or send them any information.
Monthly premium: A monthly premium is the amount a drug plan charges per month; fees vary by plan. You pay this premium in addition to the Part B premium. If you belong to a Medicare Advantage Plan that includes prescription drug coverage, the monthly premium may include an amount for the prescription drug coverage.
Yearly deductible: A deductible is the amount you will pay out-of-pocket for your prescriptions before your Medicare Part D plan begins to pay. Some plans do not have a deductible.
Copayments or coinsurance: These are the amounts you pay for your prescriptions after you have met your deductible.
Coverage gap: Most Medicare Part D Plans have a coverage gap. The coverage gap occurs when you and your plan have spent a certain amount of money for covered drugs. During this time, you have to pay 50% of costs out-of-pocket for your brand-name drugs up to a limit. You will pay 86% towards generic drugs. The yearly deductible, the copayments, and what you pay in the coverage gap all count toward this out-of-pocket limit. Be sure to check with your plan to see if your drugs will be covered during the gap.
Catastrophic coverage: "Catastrophic coverage" begins once you reach your plan's out-of-pocket limit during the coverage gap. Catastrophic coverage assures that once you have spent up to your plan's out-of-pocket limit for covered drugs, you are only responsible for paying a small copayment for the rest of the year.
The list below contains the highest rated Medicare Part D prescription drug plans in the state of Tennessee. It is for informational purposes only and some listings may be inaccurate or missing. The list was provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), but due to the variance in plans based on county, city, and region, some options may not be available in your location.

Kawau Boating Club Reopens
Islanders and sailors band together to save the Kawau Island Yacht Club.
By Lin Pardey
What More Could a Hungry Sailor Want?
Famous for its beautiful location and secure anchorage, warm welcome and mammoth Kawau burgers, the Kawau Island Yacht Club was built in 1951 by the people of the island on land donated by a local boatbuilding family. It once boasted the largest membership of any yacht club in the southern hemisphere. Due to changing times, the buildings and land were taken over by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and it became, in effect, a Squadron outstation. A dwindling island population meant ever lower winter usage, and financial setbacks for the Squadron added to the stress of keeping the club open. In April 2014 it was officially closed and the land and buildings offered for sale.
A core group of five island residents and three very interested sailors from the mainland became determined to ensure that the land and buildings continued to be the center of island life and a fun refuge for sailors who cruise and fish in the beautiful, island-studded Hauraki Gulf, which stretches from Auckland out to Great Barrier Island. Long and sometimes difficult negotiations with the Squadron and other parties paved the way for what has now become the Kawau Boating Club.
A completely autonomous club, open to all but with special discount prices and benefits for those who become members, it reopened the café and bar Dec. 6, 2014, under the direction of professional café managers. Diesel and gas, fresh water, hot showers plus a book lending library are now available. Because the club has been designated as the official community hall for Kawau islanders, overseas cruising sailors are sure to meet local folks if they stop in for a visit.
And the famous Kawau Burger is once again available. With or without the optional fried egg, it's a tasty mouthful.

Q: Function to get scroll position and scroll maximum size not working I have the function below that is called from an onscroll event that's assigned to a DIV.
It's not working. I end up getting the following values when the page is at the maximum scroll position:
scrollTop = 55
offsetHeight = 529
When I inspect the DIV that has the onscroll event that triggers the function, I see the following computed value:
206.667px
I noticed that if I resize the browser window, the offsetHeight value changes. But, I've also noticed the value is less than the size of the body tag itself.
I'm confused. How can the top and max values not equal each other when the page is at the bottom of the page? Anyone know what I'm missing?
FYI - I've tried scrollHeight and clientHeight, too; they also seem to be giving inaccurate values, at least based on my expectations.
function scrollPos(id){
    var top = document.getElementById(id).scrollTop;
    var max = document.getElementById(id).offsetHeight;
    document.getElementById('scrollTest').innerHTML = 'top: '+top+'<br>max: '+max;
}

A: A tad too lengthy for a comment, but quoting MDN:

The Element.scrollTop property gets or sets the number of pixels that
  the content of an element is scrolled upward. An element's scrollTop
  is a measurement of the distance of an element's top to its topmost
  visible content.

and

The HTMLElement.offsetHeight read-only property is the height of the

The two convey rather different things, why are you expecting them to be the same?

Telling my partents about my exaxt itinerary (well, as exact as it was at the time), my mum insisted on my coming home before leaving for the US. So I last-minute arranged a train ticket to Innsbruck, a couch to crash on, and made my mum happy by telling her I was free to go skiing somewhere around Innsbruck on Saturday, 4th of February.
My train arrived at 10 pm, and after a short journey through town, I was at my friend Barbara's where a all-prepared couch was awaiting me. In the morning, my alarm went off at 7 am to make sure I would be ready when my parents arrived. We had decided to go to Kühtai, a medium sized skiing area 25 km southwest of Innsbruck, located 2020 meters above sea level. When we got out of the car, we nearly froze immediately. A really strong wind was blowing, and according to diverse sources, the temperature was – 25° Celsius. To put on our skiing boots, helmets and so on, we went inside – otherwise it would have been way too cold.
My skiing jacket includes a kind of thermometer, but obviously it is either 10 ° off, or it just couldn't bear the cold.
Due to the wind, the cable car was shut down, so we had to stay at the one chair lift with a bubble that is available at the area. This also restricted us to 2 variations of the same slope, but it was still okay as we had anyways only planned on skiing for half a day, and there was nearly noone around. The snow was powdery, the sun was shining, the air was clear, … and after 2.5 hrs we decided to stop by the one hut along the one slope to have a hot chocolate and some Gulaschsuppe.
The hut was awesome, they had a tiled stove heating up the whole place to a cosy 20 ° (plus), there was a lot of wood used in the rooms, and decoration was suiting the name: "Zum Kaiser Max", which shows the connection of emperor Maximilian (I.? II.? I always forget) with the area. This guy loved to go hiking, hunting and fishing, and in Tirol you can do it all. He made Innsbruck his seat of power and also came to my home town once in a while.
The areas in the "thermometer" only have strong colour when the inscribed temperature is reached.
After this relaxing and re-warming break, and some more skiing, we got out of our boots (which took some time especially for my mum) and helmets and took another way – through Ötztal valley instead of Innsbruck – back home.

PANGOLINS .... the world's most wanted animal...
Rare and Endangered Species Trust (REST) was able to finance all of its work through donations – large and small since its existence in 2000. We have always been able to keep our maintenance costs low by using recycled items and by practicing high levels of conservation for electricity, water, and waste.
Most importantly, there are so many people out there who give their time and Love to REST. I wanted to start listing them, but realize that it would take pages. They perform functions as diverse as taking blood & data captures to introducing us to other institutions that we can partner with. Without these people, REST would not be where it is today.
This has allowed funds to be used for the direct care of animals and our work in research, conservation, and education. Due to the need to relocated our center and build from scratch, funds are very low at the moment and no donation is too small.
Please consider a donation to our tree of life painted by volunteer Christina.
Consider how you would like to keep our tree alive by sponsoring the gift of life. To our many friends over the years who we may have lost contact with, please reach out to us again so that we can stay in touch. www.restnamibia.net
Meet Maria Diekmann - REST, Namibia
Maria started the Rare and Endangered Species Trust in 2000 and has since played a critical role in the conservation of Namibia's vulnerable species, creating awareness around some of the most misunderstood and endangered animals – The Forgotten Five, including: Cape Griffon Vultures, Cape Pangolins, Dwarf Pythons, Spotted Rubber Frogs, and Damara Dik Dik. Watch our short film to learn more about Maria and the challenges she has had to overcome as a woman working on the frontlines to protect these incredible species.

REST's number one aim in being a good wildlife center is to practice good conservation first. Founder, Maria Diekmann feels strongly that although research and education are key, conservation of a species must take priority. Extinction makes all other aspects irrelevant to survival. Of course, research and education benefit from such efforts.

Published on 20 November 1985.
ALRC Report 27 (tabled November 1985) provides an overview of the law of standing in public interest litigation. The main areas of the report include discussions on issues of standing in civil proceedings involving both the common law and statutes and discussions on the rules governing private prosecution.
ALRC Report 27 identified that the law of standing was confused and restrictive, as different tests of standing applied depending on the type of remedy the plaintiff was seeking. The report concluded that though the rules of standing should be broadened, standing should be denied to a party if their interest in the action is deliberately meddlesome or if the interest is too minimal.

A youngster with neuroblastoma, a Sunderland charity that a supports autistic people and their families, and a group of litter pickers were among the recipients of special surprises and volunteering activity as part of NW′s Make my day campaign.
The initiative aims to celebrate the company′s customers and people, and employees have been out and about this week delivering surprises and showing their love for the people they serve.
Across the company′s operating area, which includes the North East, Essex and Suffolk, more than 4,200 people were surprised, either as individuals or as members of community organisations.
• Helped set up Durham Scouts′ Moor Farm site, near Rainton, ready for 1,200 Scouts arriving for their Confido event.
'Make my day′ is aimed at showing appreciation and love for people and who contribute to making the communities of the North East special, whether it is through their everyday kindness or by having done something nice for them.
Earlier this year, Northumbrian Water asked its customers to nominate people or organisations that they felt deserved a treat and hundreds of suggestions came in. A panel of judges then tackled the tough task of deciding who the lucky recipients should be. A vote followed for Northumbrian Water employees to determine further recipients of 'People′s Choice′ surprises and Lowestoft MEAM was selected in this way.
Claire Sharp, Customer Director at Northumbrian Water, said: "We′ve had a fantastic week across the North East, celebrating our customers and saying thank you to some of the people and organisations that make this such a wonderful place to live and work.
"Whenever we ask for nominations for Make my day, we hear stories that are heart-warming, tales that touch the soul, heroism and community spirit, and it makes us proud. Marking Customer Service Week like this really is our way of recognising those people and giving a little something back in appreciation."
To watch videos of some of the surprises as they took place and the best bits from every day of National Customer Service week take a look at Northumbrian Waters Facebook page - @NorthumbrianWater, its Twitter account @NorthumbrianH2O, or its Instagram account - @northumbrian_water.

Q: On the minimum distance along an orbit Let $\Gamma$ be a nontrivial group of isometries of $\mathbb{S}^n$, $n \geq 2$, acting properly discontinuously. For $p \in \mathbb{S}^n$, define
$$r(p) = \min_{g \in \Gamma \setminus\{e\} } d(p, g(p)), $$
that is, $r(p)$ is the minimum distance to $p$ of a point in its orbit. As the sphere is a homogeneous manifold, I expect $r$ to be a constant function, although I couldn't prove it. Any thoughts on it?

Here is the skullcap. (Published in the newspaper "O Estado de São Paulo")
02 quarta-feira jun 2021
Still impacted by the flood of anti-Zionist-anti-Semitic or "antiZionSemitic" racism (the neologism urges, as it is proven that they are one and the same) that fill the streets, social networks, entire states, all like social vigilantes who now pride themselves on fighting and to wage war on Jews for the Palestinian sic "cause".
I am convinced that this is a pathology, ranging from the extreme left to the extreme right, passing through " proxies " —such as the recent support given to the fundamentalist terrorists who dominate Gaza when they launched 4,300 missiles at Israeli civilians. The big news is selective xenophobia on an extreme left that understands that some racisms are more progressive than others.
The supposed irrationality of the anti-Semites needs to pass a more symbolic analytic scrutiny. This means that Judeophobes of the most varied hues are still proliferating. And they do so secretly, anonymously, subliminal, inadmissible and under unspoken omissions, spreading hostile sentiments against Jews, regardless of who the Jew in question is. For the totalitarian the individual subject is an abstraction, a bourgeois social construction, therefore despicable.
I then narrate my most recent experience.
Very recently, I gave a lecture in a course in the medical field and exposed some of the results of my medical and epistemological research carried out during my academic life at Faculty of Medicine (USP). The course had approximately 70 professors from the health area, when I heard a noise in the background, no noise, noise. And the words were repeated more than once "It's a Jew there." I decided to wait, as it could very well be a sound distortion of the platform, maybe some parasitic cybernetic spirit? Or even an inflection of the ectoplasm of hate? , more precisely after midnight, they tend to haunt cyberspace . I admit that I thought of auditory hallucinations. I adjusted the microphone and the earphone, and went ahead with my presentation on themes that involved the rescue of the doctor-patient relationship. Theme especially vital in an age lacking in solidarity, support and genuine empathy for those suffering from disease, and widespread ineptitude on the part of public men.
But then the sound was confirmed, once, twice, maybe three times, and it wasn't exactly a neutral expression "yeah, there's a Jew there." I stopped doubting what I was hearing. But, right after that, "…he's really a Jew!" Intonation is everything when you are dealing with conversations in the off-site world. The person's voice expressed these words describing to others the ethnic or religious identity of the person making the presentation.
But it came to the case?
Was she purposely leaving the microphone open for everyone else to hear? Or was it just a faulty act, by default, and the pent-up words gushed uncontrollably from her mouth? I couldn't tell. And what to do with this during a live stream? It doesn't matter if it was a skirt or tight pants, after all it was an aggression, albeit minimized by the "escape", and by the supposedly naive casualness of a random audio capture.
On impulse, between outrage and the need to respond, I asked the group's permission. I quickly went to the nearest closet and retrieved my favorite skullcap, handcrafted in Jerusalem. And then I returned to my presentation, making a point of showing off the outfit. Then, in front of the camera, I slowly adjusted the ancestral kippah . Used to cover the head of Jews since the period in which Abram left the city and his father's house in Ur in Chaldea, breaking with mythologies and creating a culture that would generate one of the first civilizing codes of humanity.
Full embroidered skullcap, made with a porous black fabric. In the print, a star that has accompanied us since King David, passing through the yellow ones of the ghettos and Nazi camps, to finally reach the blue symbol of freedom for the Israeli defense forces. The one that made the Hebrew people less vulnerable to centuries of unpunished immolation in a world full of omissions.
Only after the lecture was over did I stop to reflect. I came to the conclusion that my response was instinctive and irrational, but at the same time, defiant, and even courageous. After all, I peered, what was my real annoyance? Difficult to explain, but there is an inaudible sound that haunts the Mosaic nation that no one can underestimate. Especially for a grandson of Shoah survivors .
Here in Brazil, unlike today's Jews in Europe, the United Kingdom, and even in many North American cities, it is still possible to show outward signs of Judaism without being threatened or lynched. But, if it depended on a significant part of the media, perhaps the picture would be different, since the anti- Israel bias is self-evident . Overkill? Not for those being bullied.
Evidently, the causes of the current state of affairs cannot be analyzed in a journalistic article like this. As the excellent lawyer and professor of law at Harvard, Alan Dershowitz , said in an article published less than two months ago, the resurgence of anti-Semitism – not a resurgence, as it has never ceased to exist – in Europe and around the world has multiple and complex roots. But there is one constant: it is always covered up by a policy based on hypocrisy and the need to show neutrality, while neo- pogroms — that's the name — have been repeated daily in various parts of the world.
Returning to our microcosm, there, in the heat of my perplexity, since during the presentation it was not a person with characteristic form and costumes, after all, as a rabbi friend told me, I am what he considers a "non-observant orthodox" whatever that means. Rather, it was a question of incorporating something from the imagination, some projected stereotype, some alibi to show the range of the malicious intonation of that voice that hid in the virtual crowd.
Some participants at the meeting were curious about the unusual situation. To contain the malaise? Or simply sympathetic to what appeared to be an inconvenient plot staged in an improvised theater. I sought, almost automatically, to convert the event into a playful experience, after all, I needed to assume the identity required by the clamor of the phantom voice. And nothing would seal the expression "… really Jew" more than the use of the "little hat".
Then I remembered the biography of Freud, written by Peter Gay. He related an episode that took place inside the train, before Freud left Paris for exile in London. The doctor's sarcastic humor was revealed when the Nazis demanded a written declaration that he had been treated well by the Nazis.
Freud wrote more or less the following sentence in a note
"I recommend the Gestapo!"
Is the analogy disproportionate? Probably. But I bring this last passage not as a curiosity, but to show that history reveals itself by clues. It is through them that individual micro-stories can give us clues to track current and future trends. The fomenting of intolerance, racism, censorship and media bias, together with the brand new witch hunt underway, is a phenomenon that should serve as a warning. Unfortunately this will not happen, the recurrent addiction to ancient historical errors is stronger than the desire for healing.
Aside from the melancholy, the balance of this experience is still unknown to me. The analysis and judgment of the episode I leave to those who read us.
I had already chosen to reduce myself to stoic silence and leave this episode personal in the past, but I woke up to the nightmare and understood that it might be worth sharing.
I then repeat the gesture: here is the skullcap.


Cushioned comfort combines with sleek style in these lightweight CLOUDSTEPPERS ankle boots. The clean design and walkable wedge make these your go-to boots all season long. From Clarks Footwear.
Approximate measurements: Wedge heel 1-3/4"H; Shaft 3-3/4"H; Ankle circumference 10"
CLOUDSTEPPERS by Clarks Wedge Ankle Boots - Caddell Tropic is rated 3.1 out of 5 by 400.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dottie S from Most comfortable shoes I own! This is my third pair. I am 72 years old and still want to be stylish but high heels and pointy toe shoes no longer exist in my closet. I need comfort and style. I wear a 7W but they were small.. I went a full size up so my thickest sock will fit on a really cold day. So far I have been wearing a regular sock and there is room. They are beyond comfortable. I can wear them shopping for hours and my feet are thanking me at the end of the day.
Rated 4 out of 5 by 072243dg from pleased.. Purchased these "as is" - and they really look perfect. Ordered up a half-size since some reviews indicated it might be necessary. I think I could probably have gone with my regular size, but will probably wear these with somewhat heavier socks, so no problem. Attractive, sleek, easy to get on and off. Very pleased.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jgirl2 from ADORE THESE BOOTS!!! I began ordering and wearing these boots last fall and have just ordered my fourth color/pair. I wear a standard medium width in size 9 and these have been super comfortable for walking and standing in for the entire day without those aches and sore spots in your feet that so many styles and brands can give you after a few hours. I am sold on the cloudstepper qualities combining arch and heal support with the soft weightlessness that is built into their design. The width is just right for me, however, if your feet are a wider medium to a true wide width these may not work for you as the design seems to be on the narrower side in this style. I like the sleek look of these with pants, leggings and even skirts. Fashion forward with rich saturated color while feeling so good on the feet makes me come back for additional pairs in other colors. This is not common practice for me so that's saying a lot! They have held up well to frequent wear. My first pair from last fall still looks and feels as good as my newest pair from this fall. No buyer's remorse with this purchase!
Rated 5 out of 5 by SassyPants from Excellent for Walking the Cobblestones of Europe! I have worn these all over Europe & they are the MOST comfortable shoes I own. The cobblestones don't stand a chance. And even on the rainiest day in Paris, I had no issues whatsoever. I would buy them in 10 colors if I could.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pam DD from Great Boot These are very nice boots can wear with any outfit. Comfort is the best of all Clarks I have gotten. Great heel easy walking in these boots. Won't be disappointed with these!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sophia469 from Best Boot Purchase In My 71 Years Of Walking! I am continually amazed and totally delighted every day with my purchase of these Clark ankle high boots. I am in my second year of two new knees which have given me increased mobility. I haven't been able to wear a wedged shoe in years, requiring a flat shoe so I could feel the ground. Wearing these stylish and attractive boots makes me feel good as well as looking good in them. Thank you Clark footwear and QVC for this beautiful product.

Sad to hear MIT alumnus Ken Olsen has passed away. Student of Jay Forrester, co-founder of mini-computer giant Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Olsen dominated an entire generation of computing -- and then lost the future, letting his company whither into a subsidiary of an acquisition of a shadow of bygone greatness. Sad on so many levels.

Last Lap: Did Frank Ocean Backtrack During His Latest Feud?
by Rahsheeda Ali 3/20/2014
Australian singer Guy Sebastian comes to Big Morning Buzz Live, Miley Cyrus gets a curious bruise, and Banks shows us why 2014 might end up being her year.
Frank Ocean may have grudgingly paid Chipotle back the advance payment he owed them, but apparently there was no infamous expletive in the check's memo line. After the R&B singer posted the check to his Tumblr page, we all thought he was pretty hardcore. But it looks like we've all been duped. [E!]
Guy Sebastian brought his soothing vocals and upbeat sound to Big Morning Buzz Live, performing his song, "Like A Drum."
Miley Cyrus' penchant for overexposure may have literally come back to bite in the butt. The pop star posted a pic of herself wearing a skimpy bikini and revealing a nasty bruise on her bottom. Obviously, our girl's been shaking it a little too hard! [Global Grind]
Up-and-coming singer Banks took her skills to BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, and hit fans with a sultry version of Aaliyah's classic, "Are You That Somebody?" Let's just say, we can't wait to hear more from the songstress in the coming months. [MTV News]

1975 - 1975: Edgar Nagle Jr.
According to an old Akron Beacon Journal article from 1925, Munroe Falls applied for and received a charter to incorporate as a village in 1921. The request for the charter was a reactionary measure to prevent annexation by Stow, which was also seeking its own official recognition from the state. Stow had planned to include some Munroe Falls territory in its articles of incorporation, although when all was said and done, Munroe Falls received a charter, while Stow did not.
After struggling with the high costs of basic services for several years, townspeople wanted to return their charter, shifting responsibility for services back to Summit County. Villagers found themselves in a bit of a catch-22 situation. However, before they could undo their village status, they needed to elect officials to whom they could appeal to rescind the charter.
The ensuing election gave Munroe Falls its first mayor, V.A. Shakspeare. Considering that the purpose of the election was to undo the village charter, Mr. Shakespeare expected that he would also be the last mayor. In an odd quirk of fate, the request to rescind the charter was ultimately denied, and Munroe Falls remained a village.
Through the first half of the century, storm water runoff, poor roads, and sanitation problems were recurring issues confronting village administrators. Additionally, after 1940, residents began voicing complaints about speeders and summer traffic at the swimming park.
In the latter half of the 20th century, improved roads and water and sewers promoted housing developments, and the village grew. Fire and Police services improved greatly. Until the early 1960's, town marshalls enforced the law, north and south of the Cuyahoga, eventually giving way to the modern and efficient police department that protects and serves us today.

4 feared dead, 23 injured in Lagos gas explosion
a year ago read comments by Aanu Adegun
- Four people are feared dead in a Lagos gas explosion
- The explosion was said to have occurred because of a phone call, according to LASEMA
- Those who suffered burns have been evacuated to the Burns Unit, Gbagada General Hospital
Following a gas explosion in Lagos on Thursday, November 28, four people have reportedly lost their lives while 23 were injured.
The incident was said to have occurred at Aduke Street, Ifelodun local council development area of Lagos state.
The Nation reports that among the dead people were two kids.
Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, the director-general of Lagos Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), said only 23 were injured.
Going further, he said those who suffered burns have been evacuated to the Burns Unit, Gbagada General Hospital.
He said five persons including three children and two adult female were seriously burnt and currently admitted at the Gbagada hospital.
"Further investigations revealed that the fire ignited as a result of a call being made by an unidentified resident which escalated to other nearby shops and a bungalow behind the shops.

"Unfortunately, two children (male and female) lost their lives and multiple burn casualties were recorded; a total of 23 in number.
"The second body met at the scene was identified as Damilare Afolabi and the remains were bagged by the LASEMA Response Team (LRT) and handed over to the family," he said.
Meanwhile, weeks ago, Legit.ng reported that 13 shops were on Sunday, September 9, burnt down by fire at Adeshola Street, Agodo Bus Stop in the Cele Egbe area of Lagos state.

Legit.ng gathered from investigations conducted by the LASEMA team at the scene of the incident that the 13 shops gutted by fire was due to a gas cylinder that exploded in one of the shops.
The fire was said to have started from the shop which had several cylinders filled with gas. The gas swiftly escalated the ensuing inferno to a very high degree.

Any Given Power
Effigy, Reviewed in the Globe and Mail
By Candace Fertile
Human taxidermy
Exquisite detail in Alissa York's historical novel Effigy ensures that readers are transported to 19th-century Utah, specifically the ranch of a polygamous Mormon family, where seething tensions do not remain below the surface. Headed by the detestable Erastus, the Hammer family is made up of four wives and several children, and each member lives in bleak emotional isolation, attempting to eke out tiny bits of pleasure in an otherwise harsh existence.
Hammer's wives follow their prescribed roles, but each has her own interests. The first wife, Ursula, runs the household. Her son, Lal, the eldest child, is a disappointment to both parents; the other children, all from the second wife, Ruth, are in the background. Ruth's love in life is her silkworms, which she carefully tends while submitting to her religion and her husband regarding the creation of children. The third wife, with the bizarre name of Thankful, is a former actress and, once married to Erastus, uses her skills to excite and satisfy him sexually, much to Ursula's disgust.
The novel tends to focus on the fourth wife, Dorrie, a teenager whose skill at taxidermy is what propels Erastus into marriage with her. Dorrie is gifted at preserving bodies, and York describes the particulars of skinning and reforming the animals in what for some readers will likely be a gruesome fashion. ("The skulls have taken hours. She's proceeded in order of descending size — adult male through female runt — scooping out brains, severing optic nerves, prying eyeballs out whole. Careful work, but nothing compared to removing all traces of facial flesh.")
Erastus wants the animals he kills to be mounted, a monument to his hunting skills. But Erastus is going blind, and for some time he has employed a Paiute guide named Tracker, who is the sharpshooter. The Hammer family is a mass of secrets, hypocrisy and envy, which moves inexorably toward disaster.
York uses a variety of techniques to move the story both forward and backward, filling in how the ranch becomes a Petri dish of human misery. All the characters come from grim backgrounds. If they ever had love, it is lost, and most of them never experience it. Women are commodities with their bodies and skills for sale: "After a dozen years of managing a household alone, Ursula was ready for help. Hammer was taken up with breeding and trading horses, and Lal was as useless at eight years of age as at any other. Housemaids were few and far between on the frontier, and those who were about commanded too great a price. Wives were cheaper and easier to control – – or so Ursula imagined at the time. Besides, was it not a man's sacred duty to people Zion with his seed?"
But women's lives are not worse than men's. In this world, everyone suffers. Both Tracker and the new hand, Bendy, have awful pasts. Tracker has lost his brother, his wife and his people. Bendy has lost his mother and his father is a brutal man who deposits the small child in a rooming house while he goes off in search of gold. As difficult as life is on the Hammer ranch, it's better than the realistic alternatives for the characters. At least they have food and shelter. But mere survival is not enough for any human being, and the Hammer ranch demonstrates how people need some joy in their lives — and definitely some sense of community and worth.
In this novel, Mormonism offers some sense of belonging, which is its main attraction. York skillfully shows the power of belief, especially when it is connected to need. But belonging to a religion or even to a family does not necessarily result in an emotional bond, and York suggests that that in the Hammer family, basic human kindness and love are impossible given the individual wars being waged in this fractured world where pride governs behaviour more than anything else.
Apart from the sense of historical reality in daily life and the specialties of taxidermy and silkworms, York gives glimpses into the story of the Mormons, and the key historical event she uses is the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre — in which Mormon militia and Paiutes killed as many as 140 Arkansas emigrants at a stopover along the Old Spanish Trail in southwestern Utah — strong evidence of human beings' prejudice and inhumanity. And she manages to bring together the various strands of narrative, letters and dreams in a compelling conclusion.
In her first novel, Mercy, York made use of the techniques of historical fiction, and with this novel, she excels in the genre. Effigy is an apt title, given the representations of human beings and animals, in particular a family of wolves (symbolic of the Hammer family) whose bodies Dorrie labours to preserve. The ultimate irony is that while the characters live in their painful loneliness, they cannot help but affect those around them with enormous consequences. Effigy explores the nature of what it is to be human.

GRA to introduce electronic Vehicle Income Tax payment
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) is to scrap the manual payment of Vehicle Income Tax (VIT) by commercial drivers, for which stickers are issued, and replace it with an electronic system.
Under the new arrangement, commercial drivers can pay for their VIT through mobile money and enforcing officers, including the police, personnel of the GRA and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), will verify the tax standing of commercial drivers through the short code *901*111#.
The system will be linked to the DVLA, and commercial drivers will have their VIT checked before they can renew their road worthy certificates.
Additionally, the GRA is considering the roll out of an electronic platform for the payment of personal income tax and tax stamp through mobile money.
At a sensitisation seminar for stakeholders in Accra last Tuesday, the Deputy Commissioner in charge of the Communications and Public Affairs Unit of the GRA, Mr Kwesi Bobie-Ansah, explained that the aim behind the introduction of the new system was to make the payment of tax easy and convenient for all taxpayers.
"Over the years, the GRA's operations have been largely manual," he said, citing tax payment processes such as filing of annual monthly returns, submission of self-assessment estimates and submission of declarations for purposes of import duty payments.
The sensitisation seminar was attended by stakeholders, including members and leaders of the various transport groups and trade organisations.
Since 2017, the GRA has been rolling out electronic service platforms, including the implementation of the paperless clearance of imported goods at the ports by the Customs Division of the GRA and Integrated Tax Application and Preparation System (iTaPS) that enable individuals to file their annual personal income returns electronically.
An official of the Data Management Team at the Domestic Tax Revenue Division of the GRA, Mr Patrick Frimpong Danso, demonstrated how the software is used.
He described it as a simple platform on which commercial transport drivers could register, using their vehicle registration numbers on any simple mobile phone."
"We want to abolish the use of the hard sticker because most of them are fake. The electronic system will make it easy to verify. You can pay through your wallet or through a vendor using your vehicle registration number, and we are talking to the telecom operators to ensure such transactions do not attract charges," he said.
The head of the Patrol and Traffic Enforcement Unit of the Accra Central Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Mr Richard Nyarko, suggested that the linking of the VIT to the DVLA should be reviewed as "some drivers because of the rickety nature of their vehicles do not take their vehicles to the DVLA office but use middle men and might end up evading tax."
Speaking to the Daily Graphic, the President of the Ghana National Cargo Transport Association, Alhaji Mohammed Tango, said, "the (VIT) sticker is the best, it must not be changed."
He said the VIT sticker reduced interactions between drivers and the police as "the police can see the hard copy of the sticker displayed on the vehicle and the expiry date would be visible for all to see."
The Welfare Chairman of the GPRTU, Mr Olympio Peku, called for more consultations between transport operators and the GRA before the initiative was rolled out.

Ireland road safety plans aims to cut deaths in half by 2030
A new ten-year Government road safety strategy has been launched in Ireland – the first step to "Vision Zero".
The new plan aims to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on Irish roads by 50 percent over the next ten years.
Initiatives set out in the strategy include:
Explore the potential of an online portal for road users to upload footage of road traffic offences.
Review penalties for serious road traffic like impaired driving, speeding, mobile phone use, non-wearing of seat belts and carrying unrestrained children in a vehicle.
Expand speed management measures using periodic speed limits at schools, vehicle activated signs and average speed cameras.
Review the mobile safety camera system to maximise its effectiveness in detecting road traffic offences.
"This Road Safety Strategy sets out the steps we need to take to reduce deaths and serious injuries by half over the next decade and provides the metrics that will measure our progress," said Minister for State in the Department of Transport, Hildegarde Naughton, T.D.
"However, the core of the strategy is not about words or numbers on a page, but about saving lives and preventing injuries. It is about people. This strategy is for all those who use our roads, and who have the right to do so safely."
The strategy is the first step in achieving the 2020 Programme for Government commitment of bringing Ireland to "Vision Zero" – to eliminate all road deaths and serious injuries on Irish roads by the year 2050.

Home > TRENDING & FEATURES > Celebrity > Patricia Heaton
By Allan Richter
How the Emmy winner, enjoying the fruits of her work on "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "The Middle," balances life as an actress and the mom of four boys.
Hearty Grain
When Patricia Heaton started playing comedian Ray Romano's wife on the hit CBS sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond" in 1996, she had two boys, 3 and 1—and two more came along within two years. With each pregnancy, she gained 50 pounds. "The biggest challenge for me on 'Raymond' was to be able to be a mom, nurse the kids and take care of them, and work on the show while dieting and exercising," Heaton says. "I really worked hard at it. The weight came off pretty quickly probably because I was so busy."
For Heaton, that split responsibility between career and family was one of the most pronounced dual challenges she has faced, but it isn't the only one. She was raised in a Cleveland suburb where her happy childhood and uncluttered life yielded home-grown cures for ailments (ginger ale, saltines and a bucket next to the bed for the flu; "Spit on it and rub," for cuts and bruises). Those Midwest ideals don't always jibe with those of Hollywood.
But Heaton says she has managed to strike a balance between the two. "I'm grateful that I grew up in the Midwest," she says. "I think that always stayed with me, and the fact that it took me a very long time to have a career in this industry made me still feel like more of a Midwesterner than a Hollywood person. That seems to be the kind of roles I've been cast in, too. That appeals to a lot of people who watch television, who are from Middle America."
Heaton as frazzled mom Frankie Heck with Eden Sher as daughter Sue on ABC's "The Middle."
With nine seasons of "Everybody Loves Raymond" behind her, Heaton is now in her second season of the ABC sitcom "The Middle." She stars as Frankie Heck, a middle-aged working wife and mother in a middle-class family who live in the small fictional town of Orson, Indiana. The two-time Emmy winner spoke with us from "The Middle" set in Los Angeles, where she lives with her actor and filmmaker husband David Hunt and their four boys, Sam, 17; John, 15; Joe, 13; and Dan, 11.
Energy Times: In your 2002 memoir Motherhood & Hollywood (Villard), you list "Ten Bad Things About Being a Celebrity." No. 7 is: "If you gain ten pounds, the press will say you have an out-of-control eating disorder. If you lose ten pounds, the press will say you have an out-of-control eating disorder. The only way to keep the press from commenting about your weight is to be pregnant, all the time." Tell me about the Hollywood pressure to keep fit.
Patricia Heaton: I think I have dysmorphia, in which you don't have a realistic perception of how you look. I always feel, because there's too much to compare to, that I'm not where I should be. There maybe was a minute on "Everybody Loves Raymond" where I was really thin and I thought, "I look good right now."
On the one hand, it's not a bad idea to want to be in good shape throughout your life. Certainly the pressure here keeps people going to the gym maybe long after they want to be going. But the flip side is that it can lead to unhealthy diets and behaviors. I'm probably always doing some kind of diet, not only because I'm in this business and I have to see myself on television every week, but also because I'm 52 and in menopause.
My metabolism has changed, and I can't eat and drink the same things I used to and do well. My job requires me to be at work between 5:30 and 6 every morning, and I work for usually 12 hours a day so I really have to look good and be in shape to withstand the rigors of that. "The Middle" forced me to try to really take care of myself—otherwise I wouldn't get through the day. Not only am I working those long hours, but then I come home with my four sons and have to help them with homework and take them to lessons or whatever they have. It's a very busy day and I need to feel the best I can feel.
ET: How has your diet changed since the onset of menopause?
PH: I found that having a glass of wine is very difficult for me now because it disrupts my sleep. Even after just one glass I'll wake up in the middle of the night. I can't have a trace of puffiness around my eyes when I go to work in the morning, so I had to pretty much cut out alcohol. I wasn't drinking a lot, but I used to have one glass a night with dinner.
And my metabolism has slowed down. Eating what I normally did is too much food and I've had to cut back. Part of the problem is, because my hours are so long, I don't have time for the gym. If I never wanted to see my family I could go to the gym, but at this point they're all growing up and getting out of the house so you want to spend as much time with them as you can. If I sometimes have a half a day of work I can work out, but otherwise I just have to curtail the calories because it's not as easy to burn them off.
[On the set] we have what's called a Craft Service table, which is laid out with food throughout the day. That is sort of the bane of every actor's existence because it's like an alcoholic working in a bar. They'll have the fruit plate or the granola bars, but then they'll also have the licorice sticks and candy and donuts sitting there all day. The first season I would have a donut and coffee in the morning, and just pick through the day. I had the summer to sort of wean myself from that, so this season I've been really good. I've really changed up my diet a lot. I don't eat anything off of there except maybe some raw nuts like walnuts.
I'll drink sparkling water with a little bit of cranberry juice in it, just to keep sort of cleansing my body all day. When I want a snack I'll have that instead or…these spirulina energy bars that have flaxseeds that are kind of sweet and crunchy. I have a lot of [those] in my mini refrigerator in my trailer and I try to munch on those instead of going for the donut or licorice. It's very satisfying and it tastes great.
ET: In what other ways has menopause affected you?
PH: Hormonally I have not had the horrible, really intense hot flashes. I take hormones to help offset the little symptoms I have, to help try to keep my skin a little more supple and to even out mood swings. It's a natural process that our bodies go through. Your body does other things, like you thicken at the waist and your energy slows down a little bit.
Here in Hollywood, and I think generally in our culture, people mentally feel younger. They're really enjoying their lives for much longer and have a more youthful attitude.
Particularly in Hollywood, you're trying to extend your career and stay young and fit for as long as possible, but the older you get the more time it takes. So it's this balance: How much time do I want to spend in the gym as opposed to being with my kids, or reading a book or learning how to paint? You have to figure it out. I would rather diet more and exercise less, but there's the other issue for women: Our bone density decreases as we get older, and exercise really helps with that. It's a constant battle to keep everything balanced.
ET: Since your focus is on diet, tell me about a typical day's meals.
PH: If we don't have time to eat breakfast at home we'll stop at Starbucks for this great low-fat turkey bacon sandwich, which is just egg white and turkey bacon on a muffin. The other thing they have is a little carton with some apple slices, sesame crackers, some almonds and cranberries, and a couple of slices of cheese. So I'll eat that in the morning if I'm rushing. Otherwise, I'm sort of a high-protein person so I'll have scrambled eggs at work with some coffee. Then I just try to eat light salad with protein on it, like chicken. I've really cut back on the carbs because I just don't burn enough to be able to afford too many carbs. Then dinner, again, is usually something simple, some kind of meat and vegetable.
I try to drink as much water as possible. I try to do omega oil flaxseed, and I usually take a calcium vitamin, a multivitamin and omega-3 fish oil supplement. The other thing I take is a colon cleanse pill every night that I get from a nutritionist; it has psyllium husk in it…to keep everything flowing instead of getting a colonic. There are also some Chinese herbs that I take that help flush things out.
Being in Los Angeles I've tried every diet and treatment, but the thing that really opened my eyes was when I had a series of colonics. In talking to the nutritionist who was administering them, you see what your colon looks like and all the spaces where stuff can get caught and how important it is to keep it clean and have everything flowing through.
The more raw and fresh your food is the better it is for your system. I think that's the bottom line: Whether you're a big meat eater or eat vegetables, everything should be as fresh as possible. I'm fortunate to live in California, where there's some kind of healthy restaurant, acupuncturist or vegan store on every corner here. It's very easy to be encouraged to be healthy.
ET: There is also a fast food restaurant on every corner. How successful have you been in instilling healthy eating practices in your children?
PH: About 10 years ago I read Fast Food Nation. Since then we almost never take the kids to fast food places. Once in a while we go to In n' Out Burger because in Fast Food Nation that's the one fast food restaurant that actually got a good review. Everything is made in vegetable oil, it's a well-run company that takes care of its employees, everything is done fresh. But that book opened my eyes to fast food, and the boys never want to go to fast food restaurants.
Once when my oldest was much younger, one of the neighbors wanted to take Sam, who was over at their house, to dinner. When they got back I asked the mom how it went and she said, "Well, we were going to go to McDonald's but then Sam told us that he wasn't allowed."
ET: You have said that you have always been resilient and optimistic. What accounts for that resiliency?
PH: Having a deep spiritual life gives you a perspective on your career and your family, and helps you prioritize what's important. Life is so short, I learned early on, because my mother died [of a brain aneurism] when I was 12. I had an instant perspective from that moment of the preciousness of life and that you can't take any day for granted.
Then I had to go through a transition. The acting was very important to me and there were probably 10 or 12 years where it wasn't really happening. I had to learn to let go of that dream and make peace with the possibility that maybe it wasn't going to happen and that maybe I would not be able to make my living as an actor. Then as soon as I did that and was able to get that bigger perspective on life, everything kind of fell into place and the acting started coming. I think the process of letting go of it actually brought it into my life. I was more relaxed about it and there wasn't this strained quality to what I was doing.
What really made that happen for me was that I spent a week at an orphanage in Mexico doing service work. When I came back I felt very fulfilled and at peace. That helped me let go of the feeling of, "I have to be an actress or I'll die." I felt that I got so much out of that I could go live in Mexico and work with these orphans, and I would feel very happy and at peace and that was what I was called to do. That just opened the door for me, oddly enough, as an actress. I was able to say, "Let's just see what happens and let it happen." Fortunately the acting career happened.
ET: You're describing the difference between giving up and letting go. Perhaps that's the power of selflessness or altruism at work.
PH: You know, I didn't see the movie "Eat, Pray, Love" or read the book, but what I've heard about it is that it is about this person looking for who she is by focusing on herself. She probably could have gone right down the street to the Salvation Army and done some work there, and she would have found herself there, too. But it doesn't make as interesting a movie or book I guess; it's not quite as romantic. But I really think that's the answer, to go outward and then you find that everything falls together internally.
