Painkiller overdoses on the rise
By: health enews Staff
Prescription painkiller abuse continues to take a deadly toll on Americans, with fatal overdoses involving drugs such as Oxycontin and Vicodin more than tripling over the span of a decade, a new report shows.
From 1999 through 2012, drug-poisoning deaths – or drug-overdose deaths – involving opioid analgesics more than tripled to 5.1 per 100,000 people in 2012 from 1.4 per 100,000 in 1999, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, the rate of prescription painkiller-related deaths dropped by 5 percent from 2011 to 2012, the first such drop in more than a decade.
"There is now a heightened awareness of the opioid-related tragedies occurring nationwide," says Dr. JoAnna Barclay, pain management physician on staff at Elgin, Ill.-based Advocate Sherman Hospital. "Our goal is to serve the community as a safe harbor in this time of societal unrest and turmoil in the midst of rampant drug use and abuse."
Painkiller overdose death rates increased at a fast pace from 1999 through 2006, with an average increase of about 18 percent each year, before slowing from 2006 on, according to the CDC. Also, drug-overdose deaths involving heroin nearly tripled to 1.9 per 100,00 in 2012 from .7 in 1999.
In 2012, 14 states had drug-overdose death rates that were significantly higher than the overall U.S. rate, data shows. The states with the highest rates were West Virginia, Kentucky, New Mexico, Utah and Nevada.
The 2012 rate in Illinois was similar to the overall U.S. rate of 13.1.
The Pain Clinic at Sherman Hospital treats patients suffering from lower back pain, arthritic pain, muscular pain and cancer pain, to name a few.
As of October, forms of hydrocodone received a new classification, which placed them in the same category as morphine, fentanyl, oxycodone and hydromorphone. The category also includes stricter prescription regulations
Now, the usage of hydrocodone – the most prescribed and number on addicted drug in America – will be monitored more vigilantly, Dr. Barclay says.
"We're now seeing more patients being directed to the Pain Clinic for more circumspect management of these medication prescriptions," Dr. Barclay says. "Our clinic is well-equipped to closely monitor medication usage and compliance, as well as the inherent possible adverse side effects which may accompany the use of these medications."
At the Pain Clinic, patients are monitored against escalating doses by regularly scheduled office visits; diverting of medications by urine testing; multiple prescribers by dissemination of opioid agreements to other treating physicians and pharmacies; and unauthorized prescription-filling practices by checking the state's medication monitoring system each time a refill occurs.
In 2012, there were more than 41,500 drug-over deaths in the U.S., according to the CDC. More than 16,000 involved painkillers and about 6,000 involved heroin.

Very scary. It's not hard to see how this can happen. Chronic pain is so difficult to deal with, I'm sure people simply want it to stop. It's good to have resources like Pain Center, where the condition can be treated as opposed to simply masking the pain with medication.

The History Of The Turkey Trot
Hannah Hartzell 11/14/2018
Thanksgiving is the most popular day of the year to run—thanks in large part to the turkey trot.
The Most Popular Day For Running
If there's one thing that motivates people to run, it's free pie—or any dessert, really. That was my reason for running the 2017 Chase Columbus Turkey Trot with more than 8,000 other athletes. It wasn't just the free Whole Foods pie that brought the crowds, though. The tradition of turkey trots in the U.S. is, to the running world, almost as fundamental as a 4-miler on the Fourth of July.
So why are turkey trots so popular in this country? Well, it all started on a cross-country course in Buffalo, New York, in 1896. The YMCA Buffalo Turkey Trot, now in its 123rd year, began as an 8-kilometer footrace with a whopping six competitors. According to the Buffalo YMCA, the Thanksgiving tradition is the longest consecutively run race in the world. The race is so popular, in fact, that it's now capped at 14,000 competitors—some of whom travel from different countries just to participate.
While it's undeniably the most storied turkey trot, the YMCA Buffalo Turkey Trot is far from the only one that takes place on Thanksgiving. In the past 123 years, completing a pre-feast race has become popular for runners and non-runners alike. According to Running USA, Thanksgiving is the most popular running day in the country. On Thanksgiving Day 2016, it reported just shy of one million turkey trot participants—a 6 percent increase from 2015.
The popularity of turkey trots has a lot to do with the meaning of Thanksgiving. As we turn our focus to giving thanks, we're reminded of the many charities that are in want during this time of year. The winter weather poses additional challenges for those who are living in food deserts, poverty and/or homelessness. That increased need often empties the shelves of local food pantries around late fall and into the winter.
Thanksgiving has become a great sounding board for charities: "As you enjoy your Thanksgiving meal, consider those who are less fortunate." With this message in hand, many of these aid-based organizations have begun sponsoring turkey trots to help raise support as they head into the winter.
But the turkey trot craze isn't limited to goodwill alone. People like to feel as if they are living generously, but they also like to feel justified to eat that extra piece of pie. According to the Calorie Control Council, the average Thanksgiving dinner delivers more than 4,000 calories. That is a lot more food than most Americans need; no doubt it's one key reason so many lace up their shoes for a Thanksgiving race.
Even so, the first turkey trot was designed to celebrate community and raise money for youth, family and senior resources at the YMCA. It was a way to bring people together, foster gratitude and promote wellbeing. If you're running a Thanksgiving Day race this year, I encourage you to approach it the same way. Let the miles be less about the calories burned or the free t-shirt and more about expressing gratitude by enjoying the sport and giving back to others in the process. Let this turkey trot be the one that sets the tone for a thankful holiday season.

Purpose Institute is a ministry development program, which provides leadership and biblical studies training. Classes are held one Friday and one Saturday each month for four months.
To attend, enroll at purposeinstitute.com.
Introduction to the Word of God (James A. Littles, Jr., Ph.D.) // This study of the five books written by Moses will give the student a historical, legislative and spiritual look at just how much God loves and desires a relationship with His people. The goal is to understand and recognize God's hand at work through history, and to learn from the experiences of our forefathers.
The Importance of Apostolic Doctrine (Pastor Steve Schobert) // Apostolic Doctrine…what is it? It is the foundation of the Church and all true Apostolic Ministry. This class teaches its importance and why it must not be compromised or minimized. The goal is to give students an understanding of the importance of staying true to the doctrine handed down from the Apostles, who were taught directly by Jesus Christ.
Apostolic Patterns and Methods I (Pastor John Hargrove) // The phenomenal results of the 1st century Church cannot be questioned. They established a pattern that we are to follow, but what was it and what were the methods of evangelism they used? You will be inspired to discover just how simple their methods were. The goal is to take a close look at the characteristics of the early Church which resulted in the rapid spread of the Gospel.
Leadership I (Frank Starkey, V.P. of Training and Master Trainer at Dale Carnegie) // This is a cutting edge study, teaching the foundational principles of leadership. You will discover that there are five very important keys to effective church leadership. A violation of any one of the five will greatly hinder the leader's ability to be effective. The goal is to help students understand and develop the characteristics needed to be an effective leader.
The burden of Purpose Institute is to make Apostolic training available anywhere in the world, enabling workers to develop ministry skills and discover individual purpose. The training is designed to raise the quality of ministry coming from every level of leadership—not just those entering full-time ministry. It is training that can happen without interrupting other duties (i.e. family, work, local church ministry obligations). Every believer has a God-given purpose that emerges as they apply themselves to ministry and study to show themselves approved of God. Purpose Institute helps leaders discover and prepare for their purpose—their place in the harvest.
Purpose Institute requires that students be at least 16 years old.
A high school diploma or equivalent is not required to attend Purpose Institute; however, the learning required to achieve high school graduation is certainly an aid to students who desire to perform well. Generally, our students have already qualified themselves on some level as leaders, and therefore a diploma is not a factor. The goal of Purpose Institute is to assist motivated learners in qualifying themselves to better lead the ministries in which they are already involved.
Most Purpose Institute campuses use a one-weekend per month format which allows students with busy schedules including work, family, and church the opportunity to invest in ministry training. In addition to the 44 hours of classroom training per semester, students must devote time between sessions to read required books, answer review questions, write essays, and to participate in field experience. Semesters end with testing in each of the subjects.
Students must certify they have their pastor's approval to enroll in Purpose Institute.

A framework for creating a facetted classification for genres: Addressing issues of multidimensionality
Kevín Crowston, Barbara H. Kwasnik
School of Information Studies
People recognize and use document genres as a way of identifying useful information and of participating in mutually understood communicative acts. Crowston and Kwasnik discuss the possibility of improving information access in large digital collections through the identification and use of document genre metadata. They draw on the definition of genre proposed by Orlikowski and Yates, who describe genre as "a distinctive type of communicative action, characterized by a socially recognized communicative purpose and common aspects of form" (p. 543). Scholars infields such as rhetoric and library science have attempted to describe and systematize the notion of genre, and have offered many different definitions of genre. We like Orlikowski and Yates 's definition because it takes into account all three aspects of genre that we recognize as fundamental: content, form, and purpose. A document's genre is a subtle and complex concept in which the content and form of a document are fused with its purpose or function. As such, a document's genre cannot be separated from the context in which it is used; the same document may be construed as being of a different genre depending on how it is invoked in a given situation. Starting from the document, a letter may be a personal communication, or apiece of evidence in a court of law, or an agreement, or even a work of art. Starting from the situation, we note that differences in an information situation are often reflected in the kind of document that is considered helpful (e.g., a problem set vs. a lesson plan vs. a tutorial about mathematics, for instance). Thus, we see genre as a multidimensional phenomenon, which takes into account not only the attributes of the document itself, but also of its role in human endeavor. In this paper, we discuss some considerations in developing a facetted classification for genres to address the problem of multi-dimensionality.

Great. Just what we need. Another streaming service. CBS got their own, and they're bringing Star Trek back on it. I feel like we've known this for a bit, but I suppose this is confirmation.

CBS may be focused on garnering more subscribers for its standalone streaming service, All Access, but that doesn't mean the network is foregoing a classic cable approach to the way shows are delivered.
During a conference call with investors, CBS head Les Moonves confirmed that after the first episode of Bryan Fuller's new Star Trek series premieres on television, new episodes would air weekly on All Access. According to TrekCore, Moonves said that they wanted to stay away from the popular streaming trend of dropping an entire season's worth of episodes at once, like Netflix does with its original series.
Moonves also confirmed that Star Trek would be one of the first new series CBS was creating for All Access, but it wouldn't be the only one. The network and its digital division have plans to release "three to four" new series per year on Access for subscribers. Right now, a subscription package to All Access provides users with CBS' entire archive of programming, but doesn't offer any original series.
Fuller, best known for creating shows like Hannibal and Pushing Daisies, will act as showrunner, alongside original Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's son, Rod, andWrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyers. The official synopsis for the show doesn't provide too many details, but does confirm the series will have an entirely new cast of characters, new worlds to be explored and new dangers. Fuller previously said it was important to their team, however, to stay as true as they could to the general themes fans of the series have come to know since the original began in 1966.
Star Trek starts production later this year in Toronto.

Speaking To Mandatory Minimums And "Stop & Frisk" Policies...
So in the first of two big stories to come out of the early Monday Morning News Day, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has announced that the Justice Department will no longer pursue Mandatory Minimum Sentencing for "Certain Low-Level, Nonviolent Drug Offenders." It is unclear how far this will go, or how these pending changes will be implemented; but this is nevertheless a HUGE Victory for those fighting to end the path of destruction that these misguided laws has left behind.
In speaking before the American Bar Association's House of Delegates, Holder asserts that changes will target handing down more appropriate sentencing for offenders that do not have ties or affiliations with any Large-Scale Organizations, Gangs, or Cartels. Also citing the rising cost of housing the ridiculously fast rising number of citizens incarcerated, Holder very surprisingly has the support of some unlikely members of Congress-including Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul.
We will keep an eye on this one..
In related news, a New York Federal Court Judge has rule that NYPD's controversial "STOP & FRISK" Policy is unconstitutional and must be altered. The ruling, handed down by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin, is the result of a Class Action Lawsuit alleging that the policy was being used to target Black & Latino citizens-WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE OR PROOF THAT ANY CRIME HAS OCCURRED. Court proceeding featured testimony from multiple plaintiffs, some of which spoke about being stopped more than one time in the same day & exposed multiple inconsistencies in the reporting of why the Stop & Frisk tactics were applied. But likely the highest impact, in favor of the plaintiffs, came from officers who testified that officers were made to adhere to a system of "quotas" in regard to how many stops each officer made.
For those unfamiliar with the policy, Stop and Frisk allows New York Police Officers the right to Detain & Search any citizen reasonably deemed to be exhibiting "suspicious" behavior. The Policy is a major part of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Crime initiatives; but statistics show that the policy has been unfairly used to target minorities.
Judge Scheindlin, ruled that police officers have for years been systematically stopping innocent people in the street without any objective reason to suspect them of wrongdoing. Officers often frisked these people, usually young minority men, for weapons or searched their pockets for contraband, like drugs, before letting them go. The decision went on to say that the NYPD "adopted a policy of indirect racial profiling by targeting racially defined groups for stops based on local crime suspect data." The judge also rejected the city's arguments that more stops happened in minority neighborhoods solely because those happened to have high-crime rates. As part of the decision, it has been found that more than 200,000, of the more than 5 million recorded stops, were made without reasonable cause for suspicion.
To be clear, however, today's decision does not end this policy. The courts have simply ruled that the policy will have to undergo changes to how it's implemented; and will have a third-party review board overseeing the way the law is executed going forward. Stay tuned...

The split on climate change between the federal government and the states widened this week.
The Trump administration issued a rule on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants Wednesday that critics say will do little more than what the industry is already doing — and far less than what many scientists say is essential to do.
Meanwhile, New York passed an aggressive law Thursday to rid its economy of planet-warming carbon emissions by the middle of the century, the latest in a string of states increasing action to combat climate change.

With lethal heat waves, wildfires and severe storms on the rise, scientists warn that emissions need to decline sharply as soon as possible to avoid potentially catastrophic levels of planetary warming.
The Trump administration's new Affordable Clean Energy rule allows states to set efficiency targets for coal-fired power plants and offers a menu of options to achieve them.
By 2030, power plants will reduce emissions by 35% from 2005 levels under ACE, according to the Trump administration.
Emissions in the electricity sector have already declined 28 percent thanks to the rise of cleaner natural gas and, more recently, renewable energy.
"We owe much of this progress to the genius of the private sector and the free markets, not the heavy hand of government," said Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler at a signing ceremony Wednesday.
But some scientists say much deeper cuts are necessary. Total carbon dioxide emissions need to be cut nearly in half by 2030 in order to stave off the worst effects of climate change, they warn.
Environmental groups blasted the new rule and promised to fight it in court.
"It is dangerously irresponsible and completely at odds with the urgent need to address climate change, not to mention the EPA's mission to protect public health," said Ken Kimmell, president of the Union of Concerned Scientists.
States take over
ACE replaces the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan, which set much stricter limits on greenhouse gas emissions but was tied up in court before it was implemented.
While the federal government is backing away from acting on climate change, some states are taking tougher steps to address it.
Just hours after Wheeler signed the rule weakening emissions rules, the New York state legislature passed the nation's strongest restrictions on greenhouse gases.
The Climate Leadership and Communities Protection Act requires the state to eliminate or offset carbon emissions entirely by 2050. Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York is expected to sign the measure.
"For the future of humanity and our planet, we need to move off of fossil fuels towards a renewable economy, and we hope the commitment we won for New York encourages other states to follow our lead," said a statement from NY Renews, a coalition of more than 180 environmental, justice, faith, labor, and community groups.
New York's action follows California, Washington and New Mexico, which have passed laws requiring 100% clean electricity by mid-century. Maine is poised to take similar action. New York's law goes farther, though, covering the entire economy, from electricity to transportation to agriculture.
Other states also have stepped up their actions. Nevada now requires 50% clean energy by 2030. New Jersey is set to rejoin a group of states that charge polluters for carbon dioxide emissions. Virginia and Pennsylvania also are considering joining. The split between state and federal governments is likely to deepen.
California currently has legal authority to set stricter rules for vehicle efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions than the federal government. Twelve states and the District of Columbia follow California's standards. However, the EPA is working to relax those standards and has clashed with California over its special status.
Negotiations have broken down, with both sides blaming the other. In a letter to Republican lawmakers Thursday, EPA Administrator Wheeler accused California Air Resources Board Chair Mary Nichols of negotiating in bad faith and harboring "conspiracy theories" about EPA's motivations for the rollback.
Nichols strongly disagreed, saying that "the Trump administration has been unwilling to find a way that works."
Transportation is now the leading source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, and a growing source around the world.

Seven Inventions You Didn't Realize Were From Rochester
by Alexandros Hatzigiannidis October 17, 2018
Rochester has been at the helm of innovation since it was founded in 1817, housing some of the brightest people and most innovative products of the day while it should come as no surprise that Susan B Anthony, Frederick Douglass, or George Eastman's Kodak company all called Rochester home, there are a number of other often neglected Rochester-based inventions which revolutionized an industry and some that we use every day.
Take a look at our 7 Rochester Inventions you may not have known came from our city.
The Pipe Cleaner
Yup, they were originally made for cleaning tobacco pipes! Prior to their invention, people used to use chicken feathers to remove the soot that would remain in the pipe after smoking. Before Stedman and Angel's design became popular, a number of other inventors proposed a number of overly complicated and often expensive products for cleaning out pipes but none of them seemed to gain a following.
Stedman and Angel eventually sold the rights to their product to BJ Long Company who continues to make pipe cleaners to this day! Obviously, pipe cleaners have evolved to much more than just… well… cleaning pipes and have become a staple of modern crafts and decoration.
The Garbage Plate
Alexander Tahou, a Greek Immigrant, opened his first restaurant in 1918 called 'Hots and Potatoes'. One dish on the menu included a mash-up of just about everything else that restaurant served. Eventually, Tahou's son, Nick, took over the restaurant changing the name to 'Nick Tahou Hots'.
The plate originally called 'Hots and Po-Tots', developed a large collegiate following (especially with the University of Rochester just 2.2 miles away). These students would order 'the plate with all the garbage on top' inspiring Nick to change the name to the now eponymous 'Garbage Plate'. This dish has been featured on just about every food channel you could name including the very popular 'Man .v Food Nation'.
Originally the name of the Roosevelt Troop's newspaper (a Rochester-based division of the Boy Scouts), a troop member suggested using the same name for the peculiar uniform decoration made with a complex weaving pattern of often brightly colored leather strips.
This decoration was presented to the Prince of Wales at the World Jamboree causing the name to stick and the boondoggle to spread to other boy scout troops around the world.
The Mail Chute
An ingenious contraption that would allow workers on any level of a building to send mail without having to walk outside to the mailbox or even leave the floor they were on. Invented by James Goold Cutler in 1883, the first design has implemented in the Elwood Building in Downtown Rochester.
Following its success in Rochester, Cutler's mail chutes were then installed in a number of offices, public building, and railroad stations in New York City. Cutler's initial patent was very particular and specified that chutes must "be of metal, distinctly marked U.S. Letter Box, and the door must open on hinges on one side, with the bottom of the door not less than 2'6" above the floor.
In 1897, less than 30 miles from Downtown Rochester in Leroy, NY, Pearl Wait was experimenting to create a laxative tea for him and his wife when he manipulated gelatin, mixing it with robust fruit flavors, creating the modern-day Jell-O dessert.
Unfortunately for Wait, he ended up selling the trademark to another Rochesterian, Frank Woodard, in 1899 for only $450. Jell-o ownership bounced around over the course of the 20th century eventually settling at Kraft/General Foods in Dover, Delaware where it is made today.
The Automatic Voting Machine
In 1889, the political and election worlds were revolutionized thanks to the local Rochesterian Jacob Myers who invented the first mechanical lever voting machine. This apparatus prevented over-voting, sped up the vote counting process, and reduced bias in counting up the votes.
At the time of its conception, the Myers Automatic Booth had more moving parts than almost any other device at the time. First used in the 1892 Lockport, NY election, its success prompted a Rochester rollout which ended poorly after 100s of votes were lost.
After decades of European experimentation in self-propulsion, George Selden was the first to file a US patent for the automobile. Selden moved to Rochester from nearby Clarkson, NY when his father, Henry Selden, was hired to defend Susan B Anthony for illegally voting as a female. Selden, having dropped out of the University of Rochester, eventually got a law degree from Yale when he returned to Rochester to begin work on a smaller, lighter version of the Brayton Internal Compulsion engine.
This work eventually led to his design for the first true automobile leading to his eventually 1879 patent. While Selden was never able to actually produce any cars, he used that patent to collect royalties from a number of car manufacturers including the Electric Vehicle Company, the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers, and the Ford Motor Company. Henry Ford, however, contested Selden's patent infringement lawsuit claiming that "it is perfectly safe to say that George Selden has never advanced the automobile industry in a single particular… and it would perhaps be further advanced then it is now if he had never been born." While the court initially sided with Selden, on Ford's appeal, the court decided that the Ford Motor Company didn't have to pay any more royalties just one year before Selden's patent expired.

9/11 and Jeffrey Epstein: Media Complicity
September 7, 2019 Rich Winkel 1 Comment
As the 18th anniversary of 9/11 approached, the arrest and alleged suicide of Jeffrey Epstein made headlines—and raised questions about the credibility of official narratives. As Eric Rasmusen writes: "Everybody, it seems, in New York society knew by 2000 that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were corrupting teenage girls, but the press wouldn't cover it." Likewise, everybody in New York society has long known that Larry Silverstein, who bought the asbestos-riddled white elephant World Trade Center in July 2001 and immediately doubled the insurance, is a mobbed-up friend of Netanyahu and a confessed participant in the controlled demolition of Building 7, from which he earned over 700 million insurance dollars on the pretext that al-Qaeda had somehow brought it down. But the press won't cover that either.
The New York Times, America's newspaper of record, has the investigative talent and resources to expose major corruption in New York. Why did the Times spend almost two decades ignoring the all-too-obvious antics of Epstein and Silverstein? Why is it letting the absurd tale of Epstein's alleged suicide stand? Why hasn't it used the work of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth—including the brand-new University of Alaska study on the controlled demolition of WTC-7—to expose the biggest scandal of the 21st century, if not all of American history?
The only conceivable answer is that The New York Times is somehow complicit in these monstrous crimes. It must be protecting its friends in high places. So who are those friends, and where are those high places?
One thing Epstein and Silverstein have in common, besides names ending in "-stein," is alleged involvement in the illicit sex industry. Epstein's antics, or at least some of them, are by now well-known. Not so for Silverstein, who apparently began his rags-to-9/11-riches story as a pimp supplying prostitutes and nude dancers to the shadier venues of NYC, alongside other illicit activities including "the heroin trade, money laundering and New York Police corruption." All of this was exposed in a mid-1990s lawsuit. But good luck finding any investigative reports in The New York Times.
Another Epstein-Silverstein connection is their relationships to major American Jewish organizations. Even while he was allegedly pimping girls and running heroin, Larry Silverstein served as president for United Jewish Appeal of New York. As for Epstein, he was the boy toy and protégé of Les Wexner, co-founder of the Mega Group of Jewish billionaires associated with the World Jewish Congress, the Anti-Defamation League, and other pro-Israel groups. Indeed, there is no evidence that "self-made billionaire" Epstein ever earned significant amounts of money; his only investment "client" was Les Wexner. Epstein, a professional sexual blackmailer, used his supposed billionaire status as a cover story. In fact, he was just an employee working for Wexner and associated criminal/intelligence networks.
Which brings us to the third and most important Epstein-Silverstein similarity: They were both close to the government of Israel. Jeffrey Epstein's handler was Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of Mossad super-spy Robert Maxwell; among his friends was Ehud Barak, who is currently challenging Netanyahu for leadership of Israel. Larry Silverstein, too, has friends in high Israeli places. According to Haaretz, Silverstein has "close ties with Netanyahu" (speaking to him on the phone every weekend) as well as with Ehud Barak, "whom Silverstein in the past offered a job as his representative in Israel" and who called Silverstein immediately after 9/11.
We may reasonably surmise that both Jeffrey Epstein and Larry Silverstein have been carrying on very important work on behalf of the state of Israel. And we may also surmise that this is the reason The New York Times has been covering up the scandals associated with both Israeli agents for almost two decades. The Times, though it pretends to be America's newspaper of record, has always been Jewish-owned-and-operated. Its coverage has always been grotesquely distorted in favor of Israel. It has no interest in exposing the way Israel controls the United States by blackmailing its leaders (Epstein) and staging a fake "Arab-Muslim attack on America" (Silverstein). The awful truth is that The New York Times is part of the same Jewish-Zionist "we control America" network as Jeffrey Epstein and Larry Silverstein.…

Home Film & TV Review: Solo: A Star Wars Story
Review: Solo: A Star Wars Story
Antonio D'angelo
While flawed and mostly predictable, Solo proves to be fun, action-filled adventure that hits all the notes of what you might expect Han Solo's prequel story might have.
Delving into the backstory of the beloved pilot Han Solo, who until now has been brilliantly portrayed by Harrison Ford, Solo: A Star Wars Story follows Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) as he ventures out on a journey across the galaxy with the goal of making enough money so that he can buy his own ship. On his adventures, he'll come across his eventual co-pilot Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and will meet the original owner of the infamous Millennium Falcon, Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover).
With the original directors of Solo dropping out five months into filming and with Harrison Ford no longer in the driving seat of every fan's favourite pilot from the Star Wars franchise, fans were right to be worried about what this next Star Wars film might bring to the franchise. Despite these doubts, however, fans will be surprised by just how enjoyable this film has turned out to be. The stakes may be low, but the enjoyment and adventure are there. Ron Howard plays it safe regarding the narrative, mostly sticking to what we already know about Han Solo's past and then filling in the rest with entertaining action set pieces that hop from one planet to the next. While this will displease some fans and inevitably also makes much of the film predictable, most will be able to sit back and enjoy this fun adventure.
Most of the cast perform admirably in bringing their characters to life, and fans can breathe a sigh of relief when they watch Alden Ehrenreich's portrayal of a young Han Solo. It's not perfect (although when living up to Harrison Ford's performance who really can be), but he does hit the right notes. Han is not the man we meet in A New Hope, Han has yet to have the experiences that have shaped him into the pilot we know and love, but the quirks of his character are there, and it is not hard to believe that this is a young, inexperienced Solo we are watching on screen. Where Ehrenreich mostly shines as Han is in his interactions with his future best friend and co-pilot, Chewbacca, now played by Joonas Suotamo. The pair is a joy to watch from their first ever meeting to the very end of the film. Watching these two become close as the story moves forward is a pleasure to behold, and fans will relish every moment these two share on the screen.
Other noteworthy performances include Woody Harrelson as the criminal Tobias Beckett, who works well as the straight man in the group, regularly trying to stop Han from improvising, as he so loves to do, on each plan. Donald Glover hits all the marks in his portrayal of a young Lando Calrissian; I only would have asked that he get introduced earlier into the story so that we could get more of it. I'd also say the same for his partner in the film, the droid L3-37 who is played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Waller-Bridge's L3-37 was fun to watch but being introduced late in the film leaves us wanting more, whereas Lando doesn't suffer as badly from this as he is a character we have already come to know in previous films. Paul Bettany does well as Dryden Vos, but the character itself is mostly forgettable. Where the casting goes wrong in the film is with Han's love interest Qi'ra who is played by Emilia Clarke. Her performance as Qi'ra is incredibly dire, and the connection between her and Han is just not there, it doesn't click, it's a struggle to feel anything for this character.
All in all, fans will not be disappointed with this latest instalment in the Star Wars franchise, as while Ron Howard plays it safe, he still takes us on a fun, action-filled adventure. Alden Ehrenreich does as well as someone who isn't Harrison Ford can do when playing Han Solo, fans will not be disappointed by this casting choice. This film may be flawed and predictable at times, but it is a fun ride nonetheless.

During cardiac catheterization, your physician will make a tiny incision in your groin and thread a catheter (a long, thin tube equipped with a tiny scope) through a large blood vessel that leads to your heart. Once the catheter is in place, a number of diagnostic tests and treatments can be performed using tiny cameras and instruments.
We work hard to see our care through your eyes. That's why our treatment plans are tailored to you. Wherever possible, our heart specialists diagnose and treat you using nonsurgical and minimally invasive methods.
Leadership in cardiac catheterization: Presence hospitals were among the first in Illinois to offer cardiac catheterization to patients in on-site cath labs. Previously, cardiac cath lab services were often available only via mobile units.
Sophisticated heart mapping technology: Our cath labs are equipped with carto-navigation mapping technology, a 3D imaging system that provides precise, highly detailed views of the heart's electrical activity in real time.
The Fox River Valley's only hybrid cardiac cath lab: Our life-saving hybrid cath lab brings together advanced equipment and technology where doctors can perform both cath lab procedures and open-heart surgeries at the same time. Time is critical when the heart starts to fail, and, frequently, not having to change rooms can make all the difference.
Minimally invasive chronic total occlusion (CTO) treatments: Our hospitals are among just six in Illinois treating chronic total occlusions (complete blockages within the heart's arteries that have been present longer than three months) with the CrossBoss™ catheter & Stingray system. CTOs traditionally required open-heart surgery, but this new technology allows us to treat them with fewer risks and complications.
State-of-the-art tools: The Sensei X® robotic-assisted cardiac navigation system enables physicians to access and visualize areas of the heart that previously were too difficult to reach, while reducing your exposure to radiation.
Round-the-clock availability for emergency procedures: Our cath labs are available to remove life-threatening blockages during heart attacks 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Coronary stenting: Noninvasive procedures in which a tiny tube (stent) is placed inside a coronary artery to keep it open after a blockage has been removed.
Drug-eluting stents: These stents release medications that prevent plaques from reforming.
IVC umbrella placement: Minimally invasive procedure in which a tiny device resembling an umbrella is placed within the inferior vena cava (the large blood vessel that returns blood to the heart from the lower body) to stop harmful blood clots from entering the lungs.
Intra-aortic balloon pump: In a minimally invasive procedure, a small balloon is placed within the aorta (the largest artery in your body that is connected to the heart), then inflated and deflated to help the heart beat more normally.
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA): Minimally invasive heart attack treatment in which a tiny balloon is inserted into a narrowed blood vessel to compress plaque deposits and improve blood flow.
Sensei X® Robotic Catheter System: Allows physicians to see inside the heart's chambers in 3D and in real time.
Innova® digital angiography: Innovative heart imaging tool used to diagnose and treat heart conditions faster and with greater comfort.

Synopsis for "Aftershock: The Gauntlet"
Batman continues to rescue people around Gotham City. He spotted an armed robbery in progress and stopped the thugs from killing their victims. Once they were safe, Batman headed towards the Gotham Millennium Dome to rescue some of the high society people that were trapped in the collapsed round tower.
The wealthy people have been stranded for two weeks already and they were starving. They decided that it was time for choosing one of them to be sacrificed to be used as food for the rest of them. They used straws to choose who would be the man or woman sacrificed and a man called David was the unlucky one. They gave him a bottle of brandy and a paper sheet to write his last will.
Batman approached the building, but he was suddenly attacked by a vulture. Batman fell from a high place to a level below full of debris. He remembered that there was a zoo a the tower and that the animals might have escaped after the quake. A black panther attacked Batman and after struggling for a while, Batman managed to defeat the beast and started to climb to the top of the towers where the trapped people were supposed to be.
David, the man who was chosen to sacrifice, got drunk because od the brandy and refused to be killed. He attacked one of the men among them and killed him using the broken bottle of brandy. When they realize what the just did, Batman appeared at the elevator and told them that he would help them get out of there and while doing so, he learned that the dead man was the second victim of the cannibal group of socialites.
Batman took them all out and screamed in anger, pain and impotence just before he continued saving the people in need of the once mighty Gotham City.
