In Memory of HIV Criminalization Survivor David Plunkett
By JD Davids
From TheBody
TheBody is sad to share the news of the recent death of David Plunkett, a survivor of HIV criminalization in New York who served half of a 10-year sentence. David would have turned 54 today.
Plunkett was released in 2012 after a ruling by the New York Court of Appeals in his case that the saliva of a person with HIV could not be characterized as a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument.
By many accounts, Plunkett brought humor and a positive spirit to what he had endured.
"He was intelligent, and for all he'd been through, he had a surprisingly positive perspective on life," said Audrey Baron Dunning, who represented Plunkett at the appellate level and took his case to the Court of Appeals. "We always laughed whenever we talked."
After his release, Plunkett became certified as a paralegal.
Although the details of his passing are not fully known at this time, TheBody received confirmation from the Onondaga County Medical Examiner's Office near his current home in Rome, New York. We will update this story with more information as it is received.
"At 43 years old, I never imagined how different my life would be because of my arrest and incarceration," Plunkett said on the occasion of the 2014 release of a guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice on the need to reform or eliminate HIV criminalization laws. "I also never realized the stigma attached to those with HIV and especially those who also have a criminal record. I should have been able to focus on my health and career, not battling a system that incarcerates those who live with a chronic illness and remains uninformed about the nature and transmission of HIV."
David contributed an essay to the catalog for Cell Count, an exhibit curated for Visual AIDS opening on May 31 in New York City. Plunkett's piece is below.
"It's deeply unfortunate that David won't be there to feel the rallying support we hoped to provide for him and others through this project. I'm glad that he knew this was happening," said Asher Mones, one of the exhibition's curators. "He expressed a lot of joy knowing that people were organizing around reforming criminalization, and I think he would be happy to know that his story will not be lost."
(TheBody thanks Brian Carmichael, an imprisoned artist living with HIV whose work will be featured in Cell Count, for informing us of Plunkett's passing.)
Here is David Plunkett's essay on being criminalized in New York:
I was 46 and semi-retired when I found myself incarcerated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision at the infamous Sing Sing prison, located approximately 45 minutes from New York City.
I was diagnosed HIV positive in June 2006, a time I'll never forget. I could find no resources for people living with AIDS and HIV (PWA) in my small town and began taking prescription narcotics and drinking heavily. On September 18, I had a doctor's appointment and I had crashed my car, so my uncle took me to the office. I was intoxicated at the time, and the police were called. I was later told that I acted up. I was arrested and sent to the county jail. I remained in that very small jail for a year until my case adjudicated. I was eventually sentenced to ten years, maximum security.
This sentence all came about because, as the police were arresting me, they figured out I was gay. They broke my bones and skinned me up. At one point during the arrest, I made a mistake and revealed my HIV status; I stated that I was positive. I saw that I was bleeding, and for their safety as well as mine, I did the responsible thing. I knew I was not able to transmit the virus due to a low viral load. My meds were working, and I was well! However, my lawyer assured me the small town jury that had been selected would not see it this way. I was gay and worse yet, I was a "monster." I had HIV and most people at the time believed the people who acquired the disease were "bad" gays, drug addicts, and sex workers.
This was social discrimination at its finest. HIV criminalization and stigma are still alive and well, even in the gay community today, where those who are negative often won't associate with those who are positive, even while it is common knowledge that HIV is only transmitted by specific body fluids, such as breast milk, blood, and semen. Saliva will not transmit HIV. Yet, the judge in the lower court charged me for exposing the police officer to my saliva, which was clear of any blood. For this I served time.
While in state custody, I began writing letters to various legal firms that represented high-profile HIV/AIDS cases, evictions, discrimination, and unfair sentencing. To my delight, Lambda Legal took my case. Lambda is probably the best-known LGBTQ legal organization representing the community since the gay rights movement began. I had one of the top lawyers defending me: Scott Schoettes, an HIV-positive attorney with a passion for those unfairly treated by the system. He states, "There are two ways that prosecutions are brought against people living with HIV based on their HIV status. One of them is through general criminal laws, and that's what we had in the Plunkett case. The other way is through HIV-specific criminal law." Scott wrote an amicus ("friend of the court") brief to accompany my attorney's brief, which stated that I could not be charged with "aggravated" assault, because my teeth and saliva came with me, and therefore were not a dangerous weapon.
I waited four years for my appellate decision, a very long time when you are innocent. While I waited, I attended Mercy College and, upon my release, I was able to take the five classes I needed to graduate with my BA in behavioral sciences. I took every opportunity to participate in prison programs. I was going to do my time, not allow my time to do me! I was eventually released in 2012, and the decision set the standard for New York state, where HIV cannot be considered a "deadly weapon." My release was a long time coming, but I made it, and I'm now completing my master's in psychology, a field with many opportunities for those seeking employment under my circumstances.
It still saddens me that I continue to be stigmatized by society and the legal system today, especially when I learn about folks doing incredible amounts of time for HIV crimes that would be considered ridiculous by a society using critical thinking and taking the time to learn the very basics of HIV/AIDS. According to one study, "Research reveals that perceived discrimination is adversely related to a broad range of health outcomes and health risk behaviors." When PWA's are continually told by a discriminating society they do not deserve to live a happy and successful life, they are more likely not to medicate themselves with lifesaving drugs, therefore increasing rates of transmission. The best way to reduce HIV stigma is education, and the best way to deal with a court system that is stuck in the '90s is to educate and lobby court officials.

Winner of 10 2009 Tony Awards including Best Musical is Billy Elliot. The show which first premiered in London has been selling out nightly since it opened to rave reviews last fall. Billy Elliot which has a score by Tony and Grammy Award winner Elton John is based on the hit 2000 movie of the same name. Currently four boys, three of which made Tony Award history by sharing the Best Actor Award, rotate the role of Billy. Since it opened it has been one of our most requested shows. Just to let you know the Imperial Theater which houses Billy Elliot is not very big so there really isn't a bad seat in the house. In fact the first row of the Front Mezzanine, which only has six rows,overhangs row H of the Orchestra. Now while there are some partial view seats in the theatre you don't really miss that much and they are cheaper too. Most people don't know that Broadway theatres are smaller than most theatres around the country. Well now that you know about the theatre why not check out the show. Call Applause now to get your tickets to see Billy Elliot on Broadway.

The YAMA project is not only a physical archive of life in Lajamanu - the history and present day - but we are also incorporating a growing digital archive of community mobile phone photos. The beginnings of our archive were shown on digital photo frames inside the YAMA yujuku (humpy, or shed) at last week's exhibition, shown alongside digitized copies of photos taken of Lajamanu residents in the 1950s and 60s by the then superintendent. Old and new; future historical records and memories of the past. We asked visitors to bring in their own mobile phone photos to add to our collection next week.


On a typical night last fall, when I was sitting on the couch with my husband, watching bad TV and drinking a glass of red wine, I did something unexpected. Rather than scour the web for random fun tidbits and catch up on my Instagram feed, as I'd usually do, I registered to run my second marathon.
As a former track & field athlete who could once clock a 5:00 mile, I have a long history with running. But in recent years, I've had three kids and gradually grown out of shape and become a bit overweight. I'd wanted to improve my health for a while, so when I saw that a LA Marathon training program started the next week, it felt like kismet.
In the months that followed, I went from taking the occasional jog around my neighborhood to logging about 30 miles a week. But despite these efforts, my weight didn't budge. Although this is a well-known phenomenon for marathoners, I'd also started lifting weights once a week, cut down on alcohol and upped my veggie intake. Frustrated, I figured there had to be a more scientific way of getting the results I wanted, and in November, sent a small vial of saliva to a new, UK-based DNA testing company called FitnessGenes.
Sounds pretty good, right? I thought so, too, which is why I was so excited to dig into my results when they showed up online a few weeks later. But before getting into those findings—and exploring the science in the field—it's important to understand how the testing itself works.
The promise of genetic testing is that it can tell you more about the way you're built, so that you can tailor your lifestyle to fit your biology.
We all know that everyone inherits genetic material from both their mother and their father, which becomes a unique chemical blueprint, called DNA. This DNA makes up our more than 20,000 genes, which each carry instructions for a single protein, that together determine how we look and how our bodies function. All of our genes are gathered into 23 chromosome pairs, found in almost every cell in our bodies. Genetic tests typically look at specific chromosomes, genes or proteins, and changes or mutations that occur within them, to make determinations about disease or disease risk, body processes or physical traits. Direct-to-consumer tests, which are conducted outside of the medical setting, use cells found in the saliva to reach these results.
FitnessGenes maps 42 genes and their variants, or alleles. In my case, Reardon says, they revealed that training for a marathon might be one of the worst weight-loss regimens I could possibly pick. Because I have two copies of what some call a "sprint" allele on my ACTN3 gene, I can produce a protein found in fast-twitch muscle fibers. I also have two copies of an allele associated with power and strength on my ACE gene. Combined together, Reardon says these findings mean that I'm naturally fast and strong, with muscles that recover quickly after a workout. If I want to decrease my body fat, he says I should drastically cut down on long, slow endurance runs, which likely blunt my body's ability to use fat as an energy source. Instead, I should focus on getting in about five high-intensity, low volume strength and interval workouts per week.
When it comes to diet and nutrition, my results revealed that I have what FitnessGenes calls an "increased obesity risk" allele on my FTO gene, which Reardon says is likely to make me eat more, feel hungry soon after a meal and crave fattier foods than someone without this allele. Sound familiar? According to FitnessGenes, about 40 percent of people have the same genotype as me, and another 14 percent have two "increased obesity risk" alleles—more than half the population combined. To counteract this finding, he told me, I should count calories and eat four or five small meals a day to keep my natural cravings in check, and make sure that I'm burning off more than I'm consuming.
These recommendations are essentially common sense of the eat less and move more variety—plus a push for resistance, strength and high intensity interval training, which SELF readers have been encouraged to include in their workout plans for a while. But after completing the marathon (with a finish time 15 minutes faster than my pre-kid race almost nine years earlier), I decided to give them a try. As I did so, I also dug into scientific research and spoke with experts to determine whether a test like this could help people who are similarly committed to improving their health achieve the results they want.
Test results can be fascinating, but experts aren't so sure that they're all that useful—at least not yet.
The first question I wanted to answer was simply, is the science there yet to make valid recommendations based on this type of test? Claude Bouchard, Ph.D., director of the human genomics laboratory at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, was unequivocal: not by a long shot. "When it comes to these current genetic tests for fitness and performance, they have almost zero predictive power," he says.
The FTO gene, for example, is actually just one of more than 100 genes that have been associated with obesity, Bouchard says. When all of them are viewed together, they can only explain about 3 or 4 percent of obesity risk. Lifestyle and environment play a big role in this complex equation, so when you view that obesity-risk allele on the FTO gene, for which I have one, the difference between me and a person who has zero risk alleles is a couple of ounces, Bouchard says. People with two risk alleles are on average less than two pounds heavier than people without them, he continues.
The same tenuous relationship between these genes and disease risk or sports performance holds true across the board, he says. A group of 23 geneticists from around the world agreed, as they wrote, along with Bouchard, in a consensus statement in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in September. The key takeaway: Although this field has grown tremendously in recent years, the science is still in its earliest stages, and at the moment, tests relying on it hold no value.
That doesn't mean that we won't get to solid science on this topic though someday, says Bouchard, who's worked in this field for almost 40 years. "We've made a lot of progress in the last few decades. We know how to ask the questions better and we have better technologies," he says, but there needs to be more research before results from this sort of test are validated. The fact that the National Institutes of Health is now funding a major project in this field is a good start, he says.
In order for genetic test results to be useful, the recommendations based on them must be put into practice, which doesn't always happen.
In cases when genetic information has been scientifically shown to increase one's risk of being diagnosed with a complex condition like type 2 diabetes or heart disease in their lifetime, other researchers have studied an equally important question: Does having this personalized information actually lead to lifestyle changes? The answer to this one is a resounding no, says Theresa Marteau, Ph.D., director of the behavior and health research unit at the the University of Cambridge in England. In a review study published in March in the British Medical Journal, for which Marteau was senior author, researchers found that when people had personalized genetic information about their disease risk, plus knowledge about how to lower that risk (quit smoking, eat less, move more, etc.), they were no more likely than the general public to make those changes.
FitnessGenes' Reardon counters this finding by saying that his company provides such detailed information about what users should do to lose body fat or build muscle, that if they're motivated enough to purchase the test, they're likely to follow the recommendations.
My genetic testing results along with FitnessGenes' targeted plan actually motivated me to make some changes that proved beneficial. Maybe I'm an outlier in this way, but more likely than not, I made these changes because I was working on this story.
For the past month-plus, instead of running three or four times per week and lifting weights either once or not at all, I've flipped my schedule, and have spent most of my exercise time sweating through a seemingly endless number of walking lunges, squats, kettlebell swings and pushups in high-intensity interval and weight training sessions at a nearby functional gym. Since the marathon, I've dropped about seven pounds, an inch from my waist and one percentage of body fat, and that's all without making any significant changes to my diet. I feel stronger—I can lift heavier weights, hold a plank for longer and do more full push-ups than I used to be able to do—but I really miss running, too, which may not help me get the look that I want, but certainly helps me stay sane.
Can I attribute my weight loss and physical changes to Reardon's recommendations? There's no way to tell. Following common sense advice of "eat less, move more" may have gotten me the same results. Either way, it's been a good reminder of the importance of weight training and challenging one's body, and also a good reminder that this science is continuing to evolve, and worth following.
While Reardon agrees that we're in the early days of this field, he also believes that, "developing personalized diet and exercise plans could well be one of the most important fitness revolutions of the 21st century." Even though some experts say the science isn't there today, as technologies improve and research continues, he may still be right.

#140 / Censorship For Selfies?
Here is Ai Weiwei, a Chinese artist known for his commitment to freedom and free speech. Who is that with him? Well, that is Dr. Alice Weidel. Weidel is a German politician who has served as Leader of Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the Bundestag and a Member of the Bundestag (MdB) since October 2017. For those not closely following German politics, the AfD is a "right-wing" party, espousing populist, anti-immigration, nationalistic, xenophobic, and homophobic positions.
"I don't believe that differences in political views or values between people should act as a barrier in communication," the artist said. "My efforts are in tearing down those boundaries. Alice Weidel is a democratically elected politician and has the right to freely express her political views. Although her views are completely the opposite of mine, no one has the right to judge her personal life.
The idea that you should not even talk to someone with whom you have political disagreements (especially when those disagreements are significant) is just the opposite of what democracy requires. Ai Weiwei got it right!
Those of us who live in Trumpland, or meet people from there, should remember the lesson!

View Full Version : Sync Help Need - Party Tonight!!!!
I'm in a flap. I have 3 new SB3s connected. All work fine and I have a party tonight. I (of course) have been banging on to my mates about the fact this system syncs so you can listen to the same thing all round the house. Unfortunately there seems to be a slight delay between 2 of the 3 machines making it unlistenable.
OK, I should have kept my big mouth shut but please help to avoid social humiliation.
SB unit 1 - Kitchen - Ethernet connected - amplified via aux phono connection on a Sony Midi system.
SB unit 2 - Lounge - Wireless Connected - listening through Yamaha YST 1100 Sound projector.
SB unit 3 - Conservatory - Wireless connected - amplified via aux phono connection on a Sony Midi system.
Unit 3 sounds to be slightly ahead of Unit 2 even though they are both wirelessly connected.
My intuition tells me that the Yamaha YST 1100 Sound Projector is a complicated bit of kit and probably does lots of processing which may be the cause of delay? If this is what's causing the delay is there any way I can manually adjust the Squeezeboxes to sync the others in squeeze centre?
All help greatly appreciated. Off to put the Beer and Wine in the fridge and get the sausage rolls and sandwiches ready.
externally before you pass it on to the other box.
modeling, that is on top.
mode that turns off all of the Yamaha's fancy DSP stuff.
Perhaps borrow a normal amp from a buddy for the length of the party?
I sync all the time with mixture of wired and wireless and it's pretty perfect (apart from the annoying glitch at the beginning of any gapless tracks).
I assume that you are using SlimServer 7.00? If not you should be. Sync is much better than previous versions. If you are I can only assume that it is your projector device that's causing the delay. Is there any way to switch it into a sort of direct, bypass or "straight through" mode? If you are using the digital output of the SB3 try using the analogue ones (if this is possible).
I hope all goes well. I'd make sure that you do not use a beta SlmCenter and I'd disable any third party plugins. I managed to pretty much ruin the music at my New Years Eve party by running a beta SlimCenter with beta plugins.
BTW. You should not cross post. It'd be best if you deleted the other post in the beginners forum or took out the current content and referred readers to this post (via a link). You'll get better results that way.
Thanks guys. I'll see if I can find a bypass mode on the Yamaha.
Strangely I was in the process of removing the optical connection in favour of analogue to see if that helped.
Pizzas going into oven now and I'm about to crush the ice for margaritas!
In settings go to Players/Audio. There are a number of options there for setting delays which are used during sync. I would start by adding small amounts to "Player Audio Delay" for the _other_ players, e.g. the ones which are not going through the soundbar. This will have the effect of delaying them - the trick is to play around until you hit the right value so they're delayed the same amount as the other player and end up back in sync.

A lot of Marin football fans will have their eyes on the Big Game — which was postponed on Friday until Dec. 1 — but one Marin football player will actually be in the trenches when Cal and Stanford renew their storied rivalry.
Cal right tackle Jake Curhan, a former Redwood High standout, has helped the Golden Bears run off three consecutive wins and become bowl eligible. He is coming off perhaps his best game of the season, a 15-14 win over USC on Nov. 10.
Curhan was named Cal's offensive player of the week following that game, which saw Cal run for 114 yards and concede just one sack against the Trojans.
"I played a pretty clean game," Curhan said. "Having a good game as an offensive lineman, that's all you can do. I was mentally good with all my assignments and executed them well. That's what they are looking at when they give that award to an offensive lineman.
"I was keeping my mistakes to a minimum and doing my job well. … As soon as the game was over it felt like one of the better games in my career."
The win made the Golden Bears bowl eligible when that didn't always seem like a foregone conclusion, with the team beginning the season 3-3.
"It was kind of a test for all of us," Curhan said. "We were six games through the season sitting at .500 and it was like 'Where do we want the rest of this season to go?' We had a big players' meeting before the Oregon State game… Since then we're 3-1 and playing really well. The defense has been doing an awesome job."
The redshirt sophomore from Larkspur has started in 21 consecutive games at right tackle since the start of the 2017 season and said he is excited to participate in his second Big Game.
"Growing up in Marin, half of my friends have a parent that went to Stanford or a parent that went to Cal. Both of my parents are from the East Coast so I didn't have an allegiance either way but I always watched the Big Game.
"It's really cool to play in the game because even though growing up I didn't have a favorite, a lot of my friends did. It's really cool to be from somewhere that's so invested in this game."
The College of Idaho football team finished the season on a six-game winning streak and was ranked No. 22 in the NAIA Top-25 Coaches Poll, the highest ranking in school history. The Coyotes offense been powered offensively by Marin-based players this season, led by quarterback Darius Peterson (Marin Catholic), who has thrown for 1,998 yards and 18 touchdowns this season and is also the team's leading rusher with 937 yards and 13 more TDs. Peterson's teammate at MC, Hunter Juarez, is the team's second-leading receiver with 22 catches for 561 yards and four scores. Former Redwood High standout Nick Calzaretta is the team's second-leading rusher with 522 yards and two touchdowns. The Coyotes narrowly missed making the NAIA Football Championship Series. Based on end-of-season rankings, the Coyotes (6-5) were the sixth best at-large team but only five at-large bids were available to non-conference winners.

Citation: Vallet, J.L., Freking, B.A., Leymaster, K.A., Christenson, R. 2005. Allelic variation in the secreted folate binding protein gene is associated with uterine capacity in swine. Journal of Animal Science. 83(8):1860-1867.
Interpretive Summary: Litter size of pigs is a major determinant of the efficiency of swine production. Folate is a vitamin that is important for protein and DNA synthesis in cells, and is especially important for red blood cell development and for the appropriate development of the fetus during pregnancy. Folate is delivered to the developing swine fetus bound to an intrauterine protein called secreted folate binding protein. We determined the association between DNA sequence variation in the secreted folate binding protein gene and reproductive traits including the number of eggs shed per reproductive cycle, the percentage of embryos that die before day 11 of pregnancy, and uterine capacity (the number of fetuses that can be maintained by the uterus). The number of eggs shed per reproductive cycle, the percentage of those eggs fertilized by sperm, the percentage of embryos that die during early pregnancy, and the ability of the uterus to carry pig fetuses to term are all components of overall litter size in pigs. DNA sequence variation in the sFBP gene was associated with differences in uterine capacity, the number of eggs shed per reproductive cycle and the percentage of embryos that die before day 11 of pregnancy. Because sequence variation in the sFBP gene affected more than one factor ultimately influencing litter size, the overall effect of variation in the sequence of the sFBP gene on litter size was negligible, making these markers unlikely to be useful in altering litter size in pigs. However, the results indicate that secreted folate binding protein plays important roles in the different components of litter size, and further research is needed to determine the role of secreted folate binding protein in the component traits of litter size in pigs.
Technical Abstract: Previous comparisons between the cDNA and gene sequences for secreted folate binding protein (sFBP) indicated two polymorphisms, a 12 bp insertion/deletion (in/del) polymorphism in exon 1, corresponding to a part of the 5' untranslated region, and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that altered (Ser-Arg) the protein amino acid sequence in exon 5. Experiments were undertaken to determine the effects of these polymorphisms on reproductive traits. The Ser-Arg SNP appeared to be present only in Meishans. Thus, the effect of this SNP on reproductive traits in three groups of Meishan-White European breed crossbred gilts was examined. The gilts for all three groups were unilaterally hysterectomized-ovariectomized (UHO) at 100 d of age. Group 1 gilts (n = 77) were mated at estrus and slaughtered at d 105 of pregnancy. At slaughter, a blood sample was collected from each fetus to determine fetal hematocrit. The number of CL and fetuses and the weights of each fetus and associated placenta were recorded. Group 2 gilts (n = 46) were mated and laparotomized on d 11 of pregnancy. The remaining uterine horn was flushed with 20 ml saline and flushings were measured for total sFBP. Gilts were allowed a full estrous cycle to recover from surgery, mated again at estrus, slaughtered at 105 d of gestation, and the data as described for group 1 was collected. Groups 1 and 2 gilts were genotyped for the Ser-Arg SNP. In group 3, Gilts (n = 70) and boars (n = 30) were genotyped for the Ser-Arg SNP before mating, and like genotypes were mated. Gilts were then treated as described for group 2. The association between the second sFBP polymorphism (12 bp in/del) and reproductive traits was examined in 407 white crossbred UHO gilts from a randomly selected control line, a line selected for ovulation rate (OR) and a line selected for uterine capacity (UC). Gilts were mated and slaughtered at 105 d of age, and the number of CL, the number of live fetuses, the weight of each fetus and placenta, and each fetal hematocrit was recorded. In addition, the 12 bp in/del was evaluated in a separate set of 131 intact gilts from the OR selected line. Gilts were mated at approximately 250 d of age and farrowed. At farrowing, the numbers of fully-formed and live piglets were recorded. The sFBP Ser-Arg SNP was associated (P < 0.05) with differences in the number of embryos present on d 11 of pregnancy, and with differences in uterine capacity. The sFBP in/del polymorphism was associated with uterine capacity (P < 0.01) and the number of corpora lutea (P < 0.05) in UHO gilts. However, litter size was not associated with the sFBP in/del polymorphism in intact gilts from the OR line. These results indicate that genetic variation in the sFBP gene is associated with uterine capacity in gilts. These markers could be exploited to increase litter size in swine, provided the negative effects of sFBP gene polymorphisms on ovulation rate, fertilization rate and/or embryo survival are overcome.

Ugadi is the beginning of the year for the people of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharsahtra in India. This festival comes in March/April every year as the spring season arrives with trees decorating themselves with tender leaves in different colors, followed by beautiful blooms. The spring season is a symbol to the human kind that there is a hope and a reminder that we are blessed to be surrounded by beautiful nature. It is in spring that life comes back to normal after being barren for months.
According to the puranas, Brahma started creation on this day, Chaitra Shudda Padyami. Ugadi is a very important festival for people of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Mahrashtra. For them it is the beginning of a new year. In Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka they call the festival as "Ugadi", and in Mahrsahtra they call it as "Gudi Padwa.
On this day people wake up early, take a special head bath, and decorate their entrances with mango leaves symbolizing an invitation to material and spiritual flourish in to their homes and lives. The front yards are sprinkled with the water mixed in the cow dung and they are decorated with floral designs called "rangoli". Being a sacred animal cow.s dung is considered as a natural purification agent and contact with the cow dung believed to bring blessings into one.s life.
Food has a special place in all Hindu festivals. On Ugadi day rice dish is made with grated green mangoes. Different types of sweets are made as per the regional custom. One item that has a special significance on Ugadi days is "Ugadi Pacchadi"(light tamarind juice mixed with five other tastes). The six tastes used in making Ugadi Pacchadi are: sweet, bitter, tang, sour, hot, and salty. Ugadi Pacchadi signifies that life is made of different experiences like happiness, sadness, bitterness, etc. Everyone must take these experiences equally and lead a balanced life. This pacchadi is also considered as healthy at this time of the year as hot season begins. It has its medicinal significance also.
In Maharashtra also people celebrate the day similarly by decorating their houses, cooking special dishes at home and offering special prayers at home and temples. It also marks the end of Rabi season, and the yield is taken to the markets. On this day people fill silver or brass pots are decorated with coconuts, mango leaves and wrapped in silk clothe and placed on a pole. This represents appreciation of nature.s bountiful gifts that were given to us by God.
Mahrsahtrians make Halwa, Srikhand and Kheer on this day as special dishes to celebrate the New Year.
An important component of Ugadi celebration is to go to the temple and listen to the year'ss predictions. Usually the priest or an expert in astrology gives full details of how the year will be for people of each zodiac sign, and also predictions related to politics, marriages, jobs, promotions, natural calamities, wars, rains, crops, etc. Further, experts in astrology advise people to perform certain pujas(prayer services) to minimize and eliminate the negative energy from their lives. It is strongly believed that praying to God by going to the temples and conducting prayer services at home will help to have a a peaceful and happy year for everyone. That.s why on Ugadi day all temples are packed with people. This years's Shakaya Samvatsara Vijaya & Vikrami Samvatsara Parabhava Panchanga Sravanam is here.
One famous activity that is conducted on Ugadi day in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka is "Kavi Sammelanam"(gathering of poets). In the Kavi Sammelanam poets gather and share their poetic talent. Poetry competitions are also conducted during Kavi Sammelanam. This also marks the beginning of new ventures in poetry, music and other literary areas.
One ancient talent that is demonstrated by experts on this day is "Ashtavadhaanam", "Shathavadhanam" and "Sahasravadhanam". This is an amazing skill that very few people have now-a-days. Depending upon the type, a literary expert must remember tricky and grammatical sentences and verses presented to him by eight, hundred and one thousand literary experts, and recall them in the same order at the end of the program. During the process some experts pose meaningless questions that are not at all related to distract the expert. The challenges is to remember the people with the verse that he/she presented in the same order, combine all the verses grammatically and present the content to the audience in poetic form. It is like one is expected to complete a brand new puzzle within a specific time, in the correct order by listening to the most difficult clues given by experts. It is an amazing test for one.s concentration, outstanding memory and brilliance in language.
Performing special prayers service(aaradhana) to the family gods, abhishekas(special bathing ceremony) at home and in the temples, reciting Sri Vishnu Sahasranaama Parayanam, Sri Lakhsmi Astothhara Parayanam and Sri Laitha Sahsaranaamam would bring peace and harmony into one.s life. Further it will help to remove any obstacles that one is likely to face during the year.

I want to be playing as much as possible, says Liverpool's Nat Phillips
Carl Markham, PA
8 December 2021, 11:49 am ·3-min read
Liverpool defender Nat Phillips wants more first-team football and believes his performance against AC Milan in the San Siro showcased what he can do when called upon.
Last season, in the midst of a centre-back crisis, the 24-year-old found himself a key player, making 20 appearances, the majority from the end of January, as he helped Jurgen Klopp's injury-hit side qualify for the Champions League against expectations.
With a fully-fit back line this season, Phillips has made only three appearances, with his impressive display in the 2-1 win over Milan his first start.
"It's really ridiculous!" 😅
Jürgen Klopp loved Nat Phillips' composed turn to get out a sticky situation against AC Milan… 🤭#UCL pic.twitter.com/khjZo78oaK
— Football on BT Sport (@btsportfootball) December 8, 2021
Last week Klopp heaped praise on his fifth-choice centre-back, admitting the Reds "cannot keep him forever" and Phillips is already being linked with January moves to Newcastle and West Ham.
Barring another injury in central defence Phillips will most likely be allowed to leave, but for now the player is concentrating on being ready when called upon, even though his options over the next month appear as limited as ever.
"Obviously I want to be playing as much as possible, but the competition is really difficult, so I've got to be ready when I'm called upon," he told liverpoolfc.com
"I felt like I stood myself in good stead (against Milan). It was tough towards the end.
"It was tough against (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic, someone who has been at the top throughout most of his career, so it was a really tough battle and I enjoyed every minute of it.
"I did get a bit fatigued – that's going to happen when you play your first 90 minutes in a long time – but I felt overall I can be proud of my performance.
"And it just shows that the work that I have been putting in during training pays off.
"All I can do is apply myself as much as possible in training and develop myself as much as possible.
"I feel like I've been seeing those developments over the last few seasons."
Striker Divock Origi, who on a rare start scored the winning goal as Liverpool became the first English club to win all six Champions League group matches, has also been existing on limited playing time.
However, his ability to make an impact off the bench and the impending loss of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to the African Nations Cup in January, means there is no chance of his departure in January.
The Belgium international is out of contract in the summer and, while it seems unlikely the forward, who turns 27 in April, will extend his stay, he too wants to make the most of the chances he gets.
A post shared by @divockorigi
"I would say I tried to play my game as much as possible and enjoy (it)," said Origi, who scored an important late Premier League winner at Wolves on Saturday.
"Being on the pitch for me is an honour, it's a joy. It's something I love so much.
"Being able to express yourself on the highest level in the Champions League is what you work so hard for. Being able to score and help the team, it's a very nice feeling.
"In football it's all about again and again giving everything. The results come by doing the right things at the right time in the right moment. Being in the moment."

David Moyes bemoans Premier League rescheduling as leggy West Ham slip up against Leeds
David Moyes has hit out at the Premier League for their decision to make West Ham play two games in five days after fatigue played a big role in their defeat to Leeds United. The West Ham boss says those at the Premier League deciding when games should be played lack the understanding of what is required to prepare and play games at this level. The Hammers had the chance to open up a gap over their top four rivals Arsenal and Tottenham after Sunday's north London derby was postponed at the Gunners' request, but after facing Leeds in the FA Cup last Sunday and Norwich on Wednesday - with their own Covid and injury problems - Moyes's men could not cope with the energy of the visitors, who had the benefit of a full week's preparation despite having two games called off themselves.
Cape Verde 1-1 Cameroon: Lax defensive showing should give AFCON rivals hope as Vincent Aboubakar scores again
Admittedly, this was a reasonably rotated Cameroon side, although the Africa Cup of Nations hosts' defensive lapses could well be a source of optimism for other nations who harbour realistic ambitions of winning the tournament. Given Cameroon's strong record on home soil, as well as the red-hot form of Vincent Aboubakar, many will have them down as favourites to win the AFCON. Were it for some better decision making at times, the Indominable Lions could well have been shocked on Monday afternoon.

three weeks to fully recover at sea level before going up again to get the full benefit of both the altitude training and the post-altitude work. Ideally about 4 weeks. But because of the weather I will only stay home a bit over 3 weeks this time.
Interesting read yesterday. I found an article yesterday where Paula Radcliffes coach, Alex Stanton, was quoted that her marathon training made her whole system of training complete. It is interesting thoughts. They actually manage to use the marathon training for improvement in shorter distances. Many athletes go up to the marathon but are unable to find the right combination with shorter work and just end up staying at the marathon. But when you know that the marathon runners in general are the athletes with the highest anaerobic threshold and you at the same time know that the one single factor that best will determine the performance in 3/5000 meter is the anaerobic threshold pace you have (showed in many studies), then you can see that the combination of marathon work and 5000 meter training (if done correctly) can make great results.
I especially think this is the case for sea level athletes. It is a way to bring the endurance up to the level that high altitude runners have from natural altitude (and training) from birth.

The Joint Action Civil Society, a Coalition of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), has called for the establishment of a Violent Incidents and Election Atrocity Fusion Centre (VIEAFUC) to curb electoral violence .
One of the Conveners of the group, Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, made the call at a press briefing tagged: "Towards a Violence Free 2019 Elections'' on Thursday in Abuja.
Odinkalu said that it had become imperative for the nation to have such a centre in order to check electoral violence.
He said that the centre would monitor, systematise, document and report data, information .
He said that it would also be responsible for analysis of events and factors that impeded the achievement of a violence-free election with a view to seeking accountability wherever possible.
Odinkalu said that the group would monitor events and the actions and in-actions of stakeholders leading to the elections and beyond, that incited violence, document them and demand justice.
He also stressed the need for security agencies to be alive to their responsibilities ahead of the general elections.
"We wish to draw particular attention to the fundamental role of the security agencies in providing a safe and secure environment for Nigerians to exercise their civic duty.
"It is crucial that security agencies act, and are seen to act in an impartial manner by maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and allegiance to the Nigerian State and not political parties.
" It is also equally important that the government ensures that our security agencies are adequately equipped and morally boosted to contain violence.
According to Odinkalu , while free speech is essential, fake, hateful and inciting speech naturally instigate violence, and called on peddlers to stop or stiff sanctions would be taken against them.
"We serve a reminder to all that what we all desire is a nation in which we all can call our own.
Odinkalu said that leaders should therefore clearly articulate to their supporters that the forthcoming election was not a call for violent confrontation to power exclusivity, but a peaceful contest of ideology and vision.
He said that the decision of who wins the elections should be by popular vote and not the manipulation of electoral processes.
He, therefore, urged all voters to use their democratic franchise and vote peacefully and should their candidates lose, they should accept it in good faith.
Ms Abiodun Baiyewu, another convener, also cautioned against hate speech and dissemination of fake news and called for the peddlers of such acts to desist from them.
Baiyewu said that such people fueled violence which if not checked would impact on the 2019 general elections except immediate action was taken to check it.

They serve a very diverse clientele so they have experience dealing with most things you could think to throw at them. They aim to have a relaxed and homey atmosphere in the salon so that everyone can feel at home and at ease.
The Salon's position in Síðumúli means it is a bit away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded city center, and yet easily approachable from anywhere in the city. It also means it's not just a salon for tourists - it's where actual Icelanders go!
