St Thomas' School will strive to create an appropriate environment and promote SunSmart behaviours that protect all members of our community from the harmful effects of the sun whilst participating in school activities.
Queensland has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. Because the link between the sun and skin cancer has been clearly established, our school intends to promote a positive environment in support of SunSmart behaviours. Of all new cancers diagnosed in Australia each year, 80% are skin cancers. Research indicates that childhood sun exposure is an important contributing factor to the development of skin cancer in later life. It suggests that at least two-thirds of all melanomas occurring in Australia could be prevented if children were protected from the sun during their first fifteen years. Given that students are at school during peak ultraviolet radiation times throughout the day and that most skin cancers are preventable, schools play a major role in both minimising students' exposure and providing an environment where policies and procedures can positively influence student behaviour.
Queensland Cancer Fund: Schools SunSmart Policy Guidelines.
While SunSmart behaviour is everyone's responsibility, St Thomas' School aims to consistently promote SunSmart behaviours as standard school practice.
Plan to maximize the use of shade in the school grounds.
Provide smaller portable shade covers for sports carnivals.
Incorporate educational programs about sun safety into the school curriculum.
Continue to raise community awareness through education.
Encourage all staff and parents/caregivers to be good SunSmart models.
Wear broad-brimmed hats outdoors. Umbrellas are available in the Aide's room.
Encourage and support students to use SPF 30+ sunscreen on a daily basis; at outdoor activities; lunch times, for sport, etc.
Where possible, timetable outdoor activities to maximize use of shade.
Ensure children are wearing SunSmart clothing on "free dress" days.
Encourage children to wear hats to and from school where appropriate.
Ensure sunscreen is available to children in all learning areas.
Provide sunglasses as an optional part of the school uniform.
Provide information on the SunSmart policy to parents/caregivers.
Follow "Hat on, I play" rule for break times. Students without hats go to a shaded undercover area.
Wear either a broad-brimmed hat or legionnaire hat when outdoors.
Ensure sun shirts are used at swimming.
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen as directed by staff/parents/caregivers.
Act as role models for others.
Demonstrate their support for the schools' SunSmart policy.
Apply sunscreen to their children prior to school commencing.
Will take place on an annual basis. Information will be included in the first school newsletters each year.

The TOS Safeguards Twitter, Too Bear in mind that certain key reason for the Twitter tos would be to safeguard Twitter in disputes with customers by reducing the business's liability in case of legal cases. For the reason that respect, it's just like the Facebook relation to use. In certain respects, though, Twitter's user agreement appears less generous to customers than Facebook's, declaring sweeping privileges to reuse content because it sees fit.
The Twitter TOS agreement also gives Twitter the authority to cancel the account associated with a user who violates the terms or Twitter's official rules regulating what individuals may and may not use its texting service. Twitter transformed its tos in June 2011, but additionally provides to customers accurate documentation of their previous Twitter TOS contracts.
Key Areas of Twitter TOS 1. Fundamental Terms — This area of the TOS claims that each user accounts for their utilization of Twitter and also the content they publish into it, meaning any dispute with other people over material you publish becomes under your control, not Twitter's. It further claims that Twitter' can alter its services whenever it wants: "the shape and character from the Services that Twitter provides may change every so often without prior notice for you.Inch Finally, Twitter states here that customers are saying yes to simply accept advertising included in the service, and individuals advertisements might be specific to customers in line with the content of the items people tweet.
3. Passwords — Twitter claims that each user accounts for safeguarding their Twitter account passwords. Twitter assumes no responsibility for that outcomes of lost or jeopardized passwords. Twitter "won't be responsible for any loss or damage developing out of your failure to conform using the above needs," the insurance policy states.
4. Content on Twitter as well as your Privileges into it — Twitter's TOS claims that all content a person wears Twitter may be the user's responsibility. Each user maintains any privileges (for example copyright, assuming it is applicable) they've already for their tweets along with other content, but additionally grants or loans Twitter a non-exclusive to use every of this content, essentially as Twitter sees fit.
The TOS further claims that "You agree this license includes the best for Twitter to create such Content open to others, organizations or people who partner with Twitter for that distribution, broadcast, distribution or publication of these Content on other media and services, susceptible to our conditions and terms for such Content use."
And lastly, Twitter can adjust anything you publish, as made obvious within this clause: "We might modify or adapt your articles to be able to transmit, display or distribute it over computer systems as well as in various media and/or make changes for your Content as are required to conform and adapt that Happy to any needs or restrictions associated with a systems, products, services or media.
6. Limitations on Content and employ: Twitter's TOS essentially states it controls all Twitter usernames and accounts. The clause states: "We reserve the best whatsoever occasions (but won't have a duty) to get rid of or won't distribute any Content around the Services and also to terminate customers or reclaim usernames. Please evaluate the Twitter Rules (which are members of these Terms) to higher know very well what is prohibited around the Service."
7. Limitation of Liability — Twitter's TOS also consists of typical legalese made to minimize its liability in legal cases, "Towards The MAXIMUM EXTENT Allowed BY Relevant LAW…"

Molesting girl, 11: Guard jailed | Daily Express Online, Sabah, Malaysia.
Kota Kinabalu: A 28-year-old security guard who committed sexual assault against an 11-year-old girl, was sentenced to nine years' jail and ordered to get a stroke of the cane.Abu Hurairah Eddie received the punishment from Sessions Court Judge Ainul Shahrin Mohamad after he pleaded guilty to the charge against him on Thursday.
Ainul also ordered Abu to undergo rehabilitative counselling while in prison and placed under police supervision for a year after completing his jail sentence.
Abu had forcedly kissed the minor's left cheek at 6.30am on July 13, this year, at a toilet in a government department's security hut in Putatan.
The offence under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 provides for a jail term of up to 20 years, and whipping, on conviction.
In applying for a light sentence, Abu, who was not represented, told the court that he is single but needed to support his parents and three siblings.
However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Rustam Sanip urged the court to hand down a heavy sentence taking into consideration the rampancy of the case involving minors.
Rustam said a deterrent sentence would not only give a lesson to Abu but to deter the public at large from committing the same offence so that children's safety could be protected.
The facts of the case stated that the girl was on her way to school when Abu called her and asked her father's name in front of the toilet.
While she stopped to talk to Abu, he dragged her into the toilet where he kissed the girl.
She shouted for help but no one heard her.
Abu asked the girl to remain silent and told her that he would pay her.
The girl managed to escape and returned home where she revealed the incident to her mother.

Senior Adam Fazzini netted a season-high 14 points in the Skyhawks 51-47 win over Saint Michael's.
EASTON, Mass. (December 1, 2012) – Stonehill College, ranked 23rd in this week's National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II poll, edged out Saint Michael's College 51-47 in Northeast-10 Conference (NE-10) action on Saturday evening at Merkert Gymnasium.
Senior guard Adam Fazzini (Drums, Pa./Crestwood) poured in a season-high and game-high 14 points on 4-of-8 shooting from the field, 3-of-6 from long distance and 3-of-3 at the line to go along with three rebounds (one offensive) and one assist.
Classmate and forward Raheem May-Thompson (London, England/Towson Catholic) was the only other Stonehill player in double-figures with 12 points (5-of-12) and seven rebounds (three offensive). Sophomore forward Jack Cole (New Providence, N.J./New Providence) notched four points, a game-high 11 caroms and two assists.
Senior guard Brian Hamor (Guilderland, N.Y./Bishop Gibbons) became the 36th player in program history to record 1,000 career points with four points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals. Hamor only needed one point coming into today's contest and achieved the feat with a successful free throw at 8:51 of the first half, his second of two attempts.
Sophomore guard Corey Crawford (Dover, Del./The Phelps School) led the Purple Knights in scoring with 13 points on 5-of-12 shooting from the field and 3-of-5 from long range, five rebounds and one assist. Sophomore forward James Cambronne (De Bary, Fla./The Winchendon School) had 11 points (3-of-3 from beyond the arc), four caroms, and one steal.
Stonehill shot 33.3-percent from the field, 33.3-percent from long distance and 80.0-percent from the charity stripe. The Skyhawks outrebounded Saint Michael's 39-30 including 12-5 on the offensive glass. The Purple Knights recorded a 36.7-percent field goal percentage, went 46.7-percent from beyond the arc and 50.0-percent at the free throw line.
Tied 44-44 with 2:40 remaining in the game, May-Thompson gave Stonehill the lead for good with a layup in traffic on a nice feed from senior guard Sam Markle (Branford, Conn./Saint Thomas More). Markle finished the contest with two points, three assists and four rebounds.
After the Skyhawks got a stop on the other end of the floor, Markle found Hamor in the right corner for a wide open three-pointer to make it 49-44. Markle pushed Stonehill's advantage to 51-44 with a pair of free throws with 13-seconds left to go before Crawford capped the scoring with a fall-away three-pointer from the top of the key.
Stonehill outscored Saint Michael's by a slim 20-18 margin in bench points and tied for points in the paint at 20-even. The Skyhawks also used an 11-4 advantage in second chance points.
The Purple Knights led at halftime 25-22 as the visitors posted a 9-6 run to close out the stanza with the scored tied at 16-16. Crawford canned a 3-pointer with six seconds remaining while sophomore Don Ditlefsen (Portland, Ore./Sunset), junior Mike Holton, Jr. (Portland, Ore./The Winchendon School) and Cambronne all contributed layups to the scoring run.
Stonehill (3-2, 2-2 NE-10) visits Southern New Hampshire University on Tuesday, December 4 for an NE-10 matchup scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Saint Michael's (2-3, 1-3 NE-10) travels to Merrimack College for an NE-10 clash on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.

Should a Covid 19 Vaccine be Mandatory?
December 17, 2020 nancyvalko Covid 19, law, medical ethics, vaccines vaccines
As the first Americans are receiving a Covid 19 vaccine, a December 5 2020 Gallup poll reports that 63% of Americans say they are willing to take the vaccine. 37% are less willing, including some groups like non-white people and Americans age 45-64. But the percentage of Americans currently willing to get vaccinated may still be below where public health experts want it.
Now, there is a proposed bill in New York to make getting the vaccine mandatory to get sufficient immunity if not enough people are voluntarily getting them.
Why are some people unwilling to get the vaccine?
As I wrote in my last blog "Ethics and the Production of Covid 19 Vaccines", many people are concerned about the use of aborted fetal cells in some vaccines. I also included two lists of vaccines and whether or not such fetal cells were involved in their production. One list is from the Charlotte Lozier Institute and one is from the Children of God for Life organization. (The Charlotte Lozier Institute does disagree with the Children of God for Life organization on the Moderna vaccine.)
Other potential concerns are about the safety, side effects and the effectiveness of the vaccines.
EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY
A December 3, 2020 MedPage investigative article "Want to Know More About mRNA Before Your COVID Jab?" states that "While an mRNA vaccine has never been on the market anywhere in the world, mRNA vaccines have been tested in humans before, for at least four infectious diseases: rabies, influenza, cytomegalovirus, and Zika."
The Covid 19 vaccines use a synthetic mRNA, which is genetic information used to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. When injected, the body produces a strong response to that protein to produce an immune response.
How long that response lasts is still unknown.
But, especially for certain groups of people, there are also concerns about safety.
According to the CDC (the U.S. Center for Disease Control) regarding immunocompromised patients such as those with HIV or who take immunosuppressive medications or therapies may take the vaccine but should be counseled about:
"– Unknown vaccine safety and efficacy profiles in immunocompromised persons
– Potential for reduced immune responses
– Need to continue to follow all current guidance to protect themselves against COVID-19″
Also according to the CDC, "There are no data on the safety of Covid 19 vaccines in pregnant women" but "Animal developmental and reproductive toxicity (DART) studies are ongoing" and more studies are planned.
Regarding breastfeeding, the CDC states that "There are no data on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in lactating women or the effects of mRNA vaccines on the breastfed infant or milk production/excretion"
In a Nov. 23, 2020 CNBC article "Doctors say CDC should warn people the side effects from Covid vaccine shots won't be 'a walk in the park", a group of doctors told the CDC to warn people that the Covid 19 vaccine shots now being rolled out may have "some rough side effects so they know what to expect and aren't scared away from getting the second dose."
And a December 9, 2020 article in the Wall Street Journal "Covid-19 Vaccines Pose Potential Side Effects, Doctors Say" reported that "U.K. authorities warn people with severe allergies against receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech shots, after two Britons experience allergic reactions."
But a STAT news article a few days later on December 13, 2020, now reports that the CDC has changed its position from "Persons who have had a severe allergic reaction to any vaccine or injectable therapy (intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous) should not receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at this time"(emphasis added) to that people who had "severe reactions to prior vaccines or injectable drugs can still get the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for Covid-19, but should discuss the risks with their doctors and be monitored for 30 minutes afterward".
Another concern is that although states rely on the percentage of positive Covid 19 tests for lockdown and other orders, there are many kinds of tests and both false positive and false negative results have been reported.
No wonder many people are confused and anxious!
SHOULD COVID 19 VACCINES BE MANDATORY?
Now we are seeing Covid 19 vaccines being rapidly distributed and more Covid 19 vaccines are coming, including a Johnson and Johnson single dose Covid 19 vaccine that is in testing and the results may be known by January.
Currently, the health care workers and residents and staff of long-term care facilities have first priority for a Covid 19 vaccine.
Although states have the authority to regulate public health and they have in the past mandated vaccines for diseases like smallpox and some mandatory vaccines are required by states before children can attend school, it seems unlikely that there will be a federal mandate for the Covid 19 vaccine.
It is more likely that only certain groups of people may be required to take the vaccine like healthcare workers, universities and some employers. Even then, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 may help people who have a religious objection to a vaccine as well as anti-discrimination laws and exemptions for medical reasons. An employer would have to make a reasonable accommodation as long as it's not too costly for the business.
It is also possible that airlines, stores, stadiums could also make vaccination a condition of doing business with a person.
The Covid 19 pandemic has taken a serious toll on everyone and we will not get back to "normal life" anytime soon, even with the Covid 19 vaccine.
But we still must make sure that any Covid 19 vaccines we take are ethical, effective and safe.
Ethics and the Production of Covid 19 Vaccines
December 2, 2020 December 16, 2020 nancyvalko abortion, Covid 19, medical ethics
I am hopeful that the new Covid 19 vaccines that are being approved soon will help stop Covid 19 but, like many people, I only want to take a vaccine that does not use cell lines from aborted babies.
But that information can be hard to find, confusing and the facts are sometimes disputed.
For example, a November 18, 2020 article from the Associated Press titled "Lung tissue from aborted fetus not used in AstraZeneca vaccine development" disputes an online video that claims tissue from an aborted baby was used. I discovered later that this AP headline was inaccurate.
And there are disputes even in Catholic and other religious circles.
For example, some Catholic bishops and priests questioned the use of some vaccines before Archbishop Naumann and Bishop Rhoades from the USCCB (the US Catholic bishops conference) wrote a memo citing three Vatican documents and stating that:
"Neither the Pfizer nor the Moderna vaccine involved the use of cell lines that originated in fetal tissue taken from the body of an aborted baby at any level of design, development or production. They are not completely free from any connection to abortion, however, as both Pfizer and Moderna use of a tainted cell line for one of the confirmatory lab tests of their products."
"There is thus a connection, but it is relatively remote," they continued. "Some are asserting that if a vaccine is connected in any way with tainted cell lines, then it is immoral to be vaccinated with them. This is an inaccurate portrayal of Catholic moral teaching."
"Most importantly, they all make it clear that, at the level of the recipient, it is morally permissible to accept vaccination when there are no alternatives and there is a serious risk to health."
However, other articles like the National Catholic Register's Nov. 25, 2020 "Measuring Moderna's COVID-19 Vaccine: Now's the Time to Press Hard for Ethical Options" by Stacy Trasancos, PhD, MA and Children of God for Life's Nov. 16, 2020 article "Moderna Covid-19 Vaccine – Facts – Not Fiction say that kidney cells from aborted babies were used in the development of the Moderna Vaccine but also adds that there are plenty of other ethical vaccines being developed.
After weeks of investigation, I found the simplest explanation of the vaccine production process and its' potential problems at The Charlotte Lozier Institute website.
I also found the most expansive list of current potential vaccines at the Institute's Update: COVID-19A Vaccine Candidates and Abortion-Derived Cell Lines. (The Institute does disagree with Dr. Trasancos and the Children of God for Life organization on the Moderna vaccine.)
For myself, I do want the Covid 19 vaccine when it is available but I will make sure that I am given one of the ethically uncontroversial vaccines. I will also insist on adequate information on the safety of such vaccines before I take the vaccine.
I am adding this addendum to my latest blog after I discovering some new information from both a medical and a pro-life website (LifeSiteNews December 4, 2020 article "Pfizer COVID jab warning: "No breastfeeding, avoid pregnancy for 2 months, unknown fertility impacts" about the possible effects of the Pfizer Covid 19 vaccine on pregnant and breastfeeding moms.
This disturbing news and another link from a blog reader made me realize that we must have confidence that any Covid 19 vaccine will be safe as well as ethically produced.
Therefore, I have added a final line to my blog: "I will also insist on adequate information on the safety of such vaccines before I take the vaccine."

Episode 65: Cones of Uncertainty
The forecast cone used by meteorologists to show the possible path of a hurricane is also known as the cone of uncertainty. Like the twitchy gauge from 2016 election, it combines "precision with uncertainty in a maddening way," Michael says.
Jessica responds:
Design gives the illusion that you've created order out of chaos. And it is an illusion.... It's almost like design as a kind of national therapy at this moment of emotional, psychological, perceptual, unpredictable unrest in so many dimensions of what's going on. I don't know that we are deserving of the role of reassuring the public in this way, with curves and cones.

By broad consensus, Open Data presents great value. However, beyond that simple statement, there are a number of complex, and sometimes contentious, issues that the science community must address. In this review, we examine the current state of the core issues of Open Data with the unique perspective and use cases of the ocean science community: interoperability; discovery and access; quality and fitness for purpose; and sustainability. The topics of Governance and Data Publication are also examined in detail. Each of the areas covered are, by themselves, complex and the approaches to the issues under consideration are often at odds with each other. Any comprehensive policy on Open Data will require compromises that are best resolved by broad community input. In the final section of the review, we provide recommendations that serve as a starting point for these discussions.

Book The Fizz (The Original Bucks Fizz)
Early in 1981, four complete strangers sat in the drawing room of a house in Fulham and were told: "you are now Bucks Fizz".
In the eight weeks between that first meeting and appearing on "A Song for Europe" on 11th March 1981, Bucks Fizz were hurled into a melee of rehearsing, recording, routining, styling, interviews and photography. All that hard work and effort was to pay dividends - they went on to win the Song For Europe and Eurovision Song Contest 1981 and became household names around the world.
With over 20 singles released over the next few years including 3 number ones, "My Camera Never Lies", "Land Of Make Believe" and of course, "Making Your Mind Up", they sold in excess of 15 million records, spending 219 weeks in the UK charts alone!
Over the years, each member of Bucks Fizz went their own way but in 2008, Cheryl, Mike and Jay were reunited for a television show, "Pop Goes The Band" and they can now be seen at festivals, eighties weekends, private functions etc, regularly throughout the UK and beyond.
If you love the eighties and want to sing and dance to pure eighties pop music, watch all the familiar routines, hear the harmonies that Bucks Fizz are famous for and re-live that iconic moment when the skirts were ripped off, then Cheryl, Mike and Jay, Formerly of Bucks Fizz is that band!

Dr. Rupert Sheldrake Brings Science to Spiritual Practices |376|
Because only the few hundred pages of the bible or qua ran can truly capture the infinite universe, religion is filtered, through perceptions
malf said:
Ooof! A brave man who separates the historic vibrancy of the forum from the presence of a few quality skeptics.
FWIW malf, I don't attribute you with those characteristics. Annoying as you could sometimes be, you bought a rare humour to the party which was always welcome. Others treated scepticism as a rhetorical exercise, or a game of last man standing. Pissing in the well is not questioning the water quality.

No I know Ehrman isn't Christian. I read one of his books years ago. Just speaking from the perspective of a historical Jesus debate, specifically I was referencing the part of your podcast where you had said something along the lines of 'Price shredding up the idea that Jesus existed.' Maybe I misheard or misunderstood you, but anyways, it's a good debate.
Ehrman trained under perhaps the most famous biblical scholar of all-time, Bruce Metzger. Somewhere along the line, according to Ehrman, he became agnostic/atheist. He said this was largely due to the problem of evil in the world.
the "evil in the world" thing seems like such a convoluted excuse for atheists.

Your join date tells me you don't remember this forum as a vital one, with posts coming in so thick and fast it was impossible to read them all. It had its problems, not least sceptics who insisted on kicking discussions into the long grass, but I'm sorry to tell you this place is a shadow of its former self. One of the things that severely pissed everyone off was the way religion was treated with pariah status, but it wasn't the only thing and people were moderated without trace for all kinds of misdemeanours, real and imaginary. Christianity is still seen as ideologically suspect, tainting its apologists every word as with this Sheldrake thread. If you're down on Christianity you immediately go to the top table, so you'll be fine.
I had heard rumors and viewed evidence of the forum's vital former self. To what do you owe this shadow, besides the one thing you mention? Surely there must be something besides 'Christianity bashing" that has driven the forum into the mud?
Michael Larkin said:
Alex's questions at the end of the podcast:
How might science interface with and inform the kinds of questions we would have as spiritual seekers? What spiritual practices are best? For which types of people? Measured under which circumstances? What would that then say about the underlying structure and meaning of extended realms of consciousness?
I guess I'm still too novice for this question, b/c the notion of 'spiritual seekers' sounds similar to me as 'truthers' which sounds similar to me as scientism/religion, which then makes me balk at any measure of measuring! Is spirituality the search for meaning, or truth, or connection, or joy, or the all-pervasive divinity, or balance, or the end of suffering, or Oneness? Where science might interface and inform at this juncture, imo, is to craft some real definitions with universal meaning, expand the lexicon, perhaps? I know it's not just me who rolls her eyes with all the Bible talk, we who grew up skeptical in the Bible belt are perhaps too jaded, but do still have a place in this discussion, I dare say. Is what's 'best' what makes folks feel good? Is my idea of what's best for my neighbors really the best for them, and vice versa?
And the thing is, I like this interview, I like Sheldrake, a lot! But I don't think holding up fictions for the sake of 'feels' is healthy for society, under most circumstances. We want to do it, are inclined to do it, b/c it makes us feel better in the moment, but not for the long-term.

I take part in collective prayers for the welfare of local people and people all over the world, and I usually emerge from that experience feeling uplifted and inspired, and I receive a blessing from a priest in beautiful robes. I emerge from that feeling uplifted and inspired and better than if I hadn't gone.
This sounds really beautiful and it struck me as a most essential part of the interview. I noticed the number of times he says "I".

Oneness is the antithesis of spirituality.

I think for me it's when chunks of it started to going missing, seemingly arbitrarily. There didn't seem much point posting things that might either be moved around or disappear like the staircases at Hoggwarts.
I can't say I ever suffered any of the undue moderation others report however that's probably because I never said anything interesting or controversial . It certainly seems to have put off some of the more interesting posters, but not all of them.
Then a lot of the more prolific and interesting posters decided they'd had enough and vacated. I keep an eye in here but rarely see much of interest to me these days.
I can't say I've seen widespread Christianity bashing here (perhaps one or two posters seem to have a real beef), at least not on threads I've read, but I suppose it's in the eye of the beholder. If religious sources are cited as an authority here I find it a turn-off but unless it's posted on a topic I'm interested in I don't see it. I can't say it's a site that's pro-organised religion but other than individual posters perhaps, it's never struck me as particularly anti-religious either.

I can't recall a single repent-you're-all-going-to-hell type post ever on Skeptiko. When Christianity is mentioned it's mostly a byword for ignorance and/or hypocrisy. TBH I think much of it is a Pavlovian reaction given the lack of original content, and I'm happy to let any latent OCD tendencies loose on its perpetrators.
There have been some well informed commentators on the bible who did a job on Atwill, but they only show up when the forum becomes extra stupid. Most of the time Christianity is mentioned when people are bored and want to stir things up. I'd hate to see mentions of religion banned, but it's hard to recall many intelligent discussions on the topic. Sheldrake's could have been, and Bernardo discussed religion a while ago, but they're mostly tribal bonding exercises for ex-materialists.

Turning off stress:
http://ncu9nc.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-parasympathetic-nervous-system-and.html
Turning Off Stress: The Parasympathetic Nervous System And Spiritual Development
The sympathetic nervous system is involved in producing the body's response to stress. The parasympathetic nervous system is involved in turning off the body's response to stress.
Anything that activates the parasympathetic nervous system suppresses the sympathetic nervous system and helps you to relax.
Learning to turn off stress is also helpful in spiritual development because when you are stressed, you are more likely to be thinking about yourself and your problems ie. being egocentric. But when you are relaxed, you are less likely to be thinking about yourself and more likely to be in harmony with spiritual values like love, kindness, forgiveness, tolerance etc.
People on this forum have different opinions, and often express them fairly forcibly, but do you really want to come to a forum where everyone is censored to maintain a strict line?
Clearly our core subjects overlap with the concerns of religion, so the subject is bound to come up, and since it obviously hurts you to read opinions that are critical of religion, why not skip over those posts? Alternatively, feel free to participate in the discussion (as you have), but try not to be miffed if others disagree.
You say, " I'd hate to see mentions of religion banned" - well good, because I have zero intention to impose such a ban! I think the relationship between religion and psychic evidence is fascinating. I mean clearly the ideas of Christianity and NDE reports overlap extensively. However, I guess even you are not really a conventional Christian - if such exists - so why not start a thread dedicated to your view of things and how you see Christianity relating to the other religions, and to ψ in general?

While I agree with that in one way, I feel the way you express this sounds remarkably materialist - which I am pretty sure you aren't!
For example, one reads that one of the amigdala processes fear. Compartmentalising the brain's function in that way can make one think of a machine where different bits have different functions. However, consider how a fear centre might really work - what does it actually do?
Well if I saw a tiger racing towards me, I'd be very fearful.
However if I was in a zoo, and there was a suitable fence, I'd just marvel at the power of the beast.
However, if I knew that there was a dispute about whether the fencing was adequate, I might feel fear once more.
If I wasn't in a zoo, and had a gun, and knew how to use it, I might feel sorrow because I would be safe but have to kill the creature.
What I am getting at, is that the fear centre would have to call on the whole of the rest of the mind in order to even determine if fear was an appropriate response!
This observation seems to generalise - specifying that any portion of the mind/brain - a hormone, a 'component' of the brain, or the parasympathetic nervous system performs some role, inevitably pulls in the rest of the mind!
I agree there is a huge problem on skeptiko because it is very hostile to Christians. There are many forms of Christianity and many different ways it is practiced. Some of them are hugely beneficial to individuals, and historically Christianity has played a hugely beneficial role in the development of our civilization. But you would never know that from reading skeptiko, because the vast majority of posts that mention Christianity are one sided and biased against Christianity. They give readers a misimpression of Christianity because they never mention its good qualities only the problems. But every human endeavor has imperfections because humans are imperfect. However when Christianity is mentioned on skeptiko, you only hear about the imperfections and you never hear about how those compare to other human endeavors.
And this is just a part of a bigger bias against religion where all of the many diverse and various religions, most of which the writers are ignorant of, are lumped together and condemned because of their bias against Christianity.
The problem is not just misinforming readers, it drives away members so we have fewer viewpoints and learn less. I have pointed out before that the forum is unfriendly to atheists and Christians. Who is left to participate?

but do you really want to come to a forum where everyone is censored to maintain a strict line?
I'm happy to challenge anti-Christian rhetoric without the threat of banning. Censorship isn't my bag.
Clearly our core subjects overlap with the concerns of religion
I can see that may be the case in particular instances. I fail to see how psi as a subject invites comparisons with organised religion. Unless you believe a single example of precognition or spoon bending is to court the Inquisition and the collapse of civilisation. In which case I disagree. Materialism has an endless supply of promise notes.
and since it obviously hurts you to read opinions that are critical of religion, why not skip over those posts?
It doesn't hurt me in the least. I only correct the most egregious errors and systemic prejudice. An individual's take on religion is none of my business. They may have personally suffered at the hands of the religious, they may find the idea of God an intolerable imposition on their world view. They may enjoy a healthy social life based on the mutual support of fellow sceptics. None of these things are my concern.
Alternatively, feel free to participate in the discussion (as you have), but try not to be miffed if others disagree.
Does that mean don't challenge them? Or do challenge them but expect a ban for upsetting people? If it's the latter I strongly disagree that I've upset anyone, and I've discussed everything from crop circles, to ghosts, to philosophy on this forum. Can you show an example of miffed-ness on my part?
However, I guess even you are not really a conventional Christian
Not sure how you work that out? I'm a mainstream Catholic, neither archly traditional nor liberal progressive. If you can show where I've transgressed orthodoxy by my views I'm happy to listen. Rupert Sheldrake is way more theologically liberal than me, but that doesn't change my respect for him. He's remarkably sanguine in the face of intolerance generally and I'm sure we'd get on just fine. Indeed we have communicated on affable terms.
so why not start a thread dedicated to your view of things and how you see Christianity relating to the other religions, and to ψ in general?
That would make the forum "all about me" and that's something anyone should avoid in public discussion. I've contributed to all kinds of subjects, and reject the label of apologist. Why don't you start a thread about why you're so intolerant of Christianity? This one is about Sheldrake's take on Christianity in the context of other religions and his scientific background. It's clear you think his beliefs are completely antipathetic to his research, perhaps you'd like to explore why you think that in terms that aren't just hand-waving?
Sharing your views in one thread would hardly involve you taking over the whole forum
I would say that any evidence that materialism is wrong/incomplete is relevant to religions of all sorts.
Anyway, the way International politics is headed, we may all get our DE's and learn a lot more about reality very soon
Why do you say that? I've always believed the opposition between reductionism and religion is a false dichotomy invented by materialists as a scare story. Lets be clear, religion is not an appeal to logic, it requires belief, aka faith. Materialism holds belief as toxic to the progress of mankind, religion sees faith as desirable, even necessary.
It's hard to see how an example of psi indicates God, much less organised religion. Bernardo thinks mind-at-large is responsible, Radin believes in a cloud of consciousness. Neither of these resemble a Christian deity, and both would be at pains to distance themselves from the concept. I've described this forum as post-materialist, and that may be responsible for our differences. You, like Richard Dawkins, really do think psi is a short circuit to God. I'm satisfied the phenomena we describe as psi are real, and require no further evidence of the fact, but they don't inform my beliefs. Psi isn't my religion substitute and if it's yours I can see why my opinions would be a problem for you.

That's a bummer - hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised and it won't be an issue. Silentfox got to try one out at the EB expo recently. Maybe he can offer some thoughts re: eye strain etc. I've read (and foxy also confirmed) that it's possible to wear glasses while also wearing the occulus, so I'm guessing this would help with regards to eye strain etc.


Alexandria Troas is an ancient Greek city situated on the Aegean Sea near the northern tip of Turkey's western coast, a little south of Tenedos (modern Bozcaada). It is located in the modern Turkish province of Çanakkale. The site sprawls over an estimated 400 hectares (1,000 acres); among the few structures remaining today are a ruined bath, an odeon, a theatre and gymnasium complex and a recently uncovered stadium. The circuit of the old walls can still be traced.
According to Strabo, this site was first called Sigeia; around 306 BC Antigonus refounded the city as the much-expanded Antigonia Troas by settling the people of five other towns in Sigeia, including the once influential city of Neandria. Its name was changed by Lysimachus to Alexandria Troas, in memory of Alexander III of Macedon (Pliny merely states that the name changed from Antigonia to Alexandria). As the chief port of north-west Asia Minor, the place prospered greatly in Roman times, becoming a "free and autonomous city" as early as 188 BC, and the existing remains sufficiently attest its former importance. In its heyday, the city may have had a population of about 100,000. Strabo mentions that a Roman colony was created at the location in the reign of Augustus, named Colonia Alexandria Augusta Troas (called simply Troas during this period). Augustus, Hadrian and the rich grammarian Herodes Atticus contributed greatly to its embellishment; the aqueduct still preserved is due to the latter. Constantine considered making Troas the capital of the Roman Empire.
Remains of several buildings can be seen - the city gate, odeon, aora, theatre and a small temple- but i is the arches of the Herodoes Atticus that mst strike the visitor today. The port of the city is now a small pink lagoon which can be visited by walking along the beach from Dalyan. Large abandoned columns still lie here and there from the granite quarries nearby at Kocali. At one time, these columns were exported by ship to Istanbul and around the Aegean.
In Roman times, it was a significant port for travelling between Anatolia and Europe. Paul of Tarsus sailed for Europe for the first time from Alexandria Troas and returned there from Europe (it was there that the episode of the raising of Eutychus later occurred). Ignatius of Antioch also paused at this city before continuing to his martyrdom at Rome.
Several of its later bishops are known: Marinus in 325; Niconius in 344; Sylvanus at the beginning of the 5th century; Pionius in 451; Leo in 787; Peter, friend of the Patriarch Ignatius, and adversary to Michael, in the ninth century. In the 10th century Troas is given as a suffragan of Cyzicus and distinct from the famous Troy (Heinrich Gelzer, Ungedruckte ... Texte der Notitiae episcopatuum, 552; Georgii Cyprii descriptio orbis romani, 64); it is not known when the city was destroyed and the diocese disappeared. The city remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church, Troadensis; the seat is vacant following the resignation of the last bishop in 1971.
Troas is also a titular see of the Orthodox Church under the Ecumenical Patriarchate. The most recent hierarch, His Grace Bishop Savas (Zembillas) of Troas, served 2002-2011. He is now Metropolitan Savas (Zembillas) of Pittsburgh in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
Karasid Turkomans settled in the area of the Troad in the 14th century. Their beylik was conquered by the Ottomans in 1336. The ruins of Alexandria Troas came to be known among the Turks as Eski Stambul, the "Old City". The site's stones were much plundered for building material (for example Mehmed IV took columns to adorn his Yeni Valide Mosque in Istanbul). As of the mid-18th century the site served as "a lurking place for bandetti"
Alexandria Troas also played an important role in the spread of Christianity. Saint Paul visited the city on his second and third journeys.


Cortlandt resident Keisha Hudson, shown above, and her mother, Brooklyn resident Sonia Hudson, opened Ty's Bread Basket BakeShop on Main Street in Peekskill in December.
The name of their new bakery, Ty's Bread Basket BakeShop, located in Peekskill, has a special and poignant meaning to its co-owners, Brooklyn resident Sonia Hudson and her daughter, Keisha Hudson of Cortlandt.
Tyrone is her son, "who unfortunately had a tragic accident on January 3rd of 2018 and expired. So, this was done in his honor," Sonia Hudson said last week. The bakery opened on December 22, 2018 which was her late son's birthday, she said.
Many more customers have come in recently for gluten free and vegan items, she noted. "We expanded that menu," she said, adding that gluten free items that are most popular are brownies, cookies and cupcakes.
Among the regular items that are particularly popular with customers are cupcakes, cookies, muffins, croissants and cheesecake brownies, Keisha Hudson said.
"We make a variety of breads baked fresh daily," Keisha Hudson said. The types of bread include rye, whole wheat loafs, French and Italian baguettes, sour dough, tomato basil and garlic and herb.
A variety of spread can accompany bagels sold at Ty's. Organic teas, hot chocolate, coffee and lattes are among the beverage options.
A feature of the new business is a Children's Corner, which is a place for children to sit and eat, Sonia Hudson said. The bakery also offers birthday party packages at the business for youths up to the age of 11.
Items sold at the new bakery are created every day and Keisha Hudson does some of the baking. Sonia Hudson helps out at the store on weekends.
Unsold products from the bakery are donated to not-for-profit organizations, Keisha Hudson said.
The new bakery has been publicizing itself mainly through social media, a web site and word of mouth, Keisha Hudson said.
The mother and daughter duo previously owned a bakery in Newburgh.
"We treat our customers as a part of our family," Sonia Hudson said.

A comparison of algal, macroinvertebrate, and fish assemblage indices for assessing low-level nutrient enrichment in wadeable Ozark streams
Biotic indices for algae, macroinvertebrates, and fish assemblages can be effective for monitoring stream enrichment, but little is known regarding the value of the three assemblages for detecting perturbance as a consequence of low-level nutrient enrichment. In the summer of 2006, we collected nutrient and biotic samples from 30 wadeable Ozark streams that spanned a nutrient-concentration gradient from reference to moderately enriched conditions. Seventy-three algal metrics, 62 macroinvertebrate metrics, and 60 fish metrics were evaluated for each of the three biotic indices. After a group of candidate metrics had been identified with multivariate analysis, correlation procedures and scatter plots were used to identify the four metrics having strongest relations to a nutrient index calculated from log transformed and normalized total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations. The four metrics selected for each of the three biotic indices were: algae—the relative abundance of most tolerant diatoms, the combined relative abundance of three species of Cymbella, mesosaprobic algae percent taxa richness, and the relative abundance of diatoms that are obligate nitrogen heterotrophs; macroinvertebrate—the relative abundance of intolerant organisms, Baetidae relative abundance, moderately tolerant taxa richness, and insect biomass; fish—herbivore and detritivore taxa richness, pool species relative abundance, fish catch per unit effort, and black bass (Micropterus spp.) relative abundance.
All three biotic indices were negatively correlated to nutrient concentrations but the algal index had a higher correlation (rho = −0.89) than did the macroinvertebrate and fish indices (rho = −0.63 and −0.58, respectively). Biotic index scores were lowest and nutrient concentrations were highest for streams with basins having the highest poultry and cattle production. Because of the availability of litter for fertilizer and associated increases in grass and hay production, cattle feeding capacity increases with poultry production. Studies are needed that address the synergistic effect of poultry and cattle production on Ozark streams in high production areas before ecological risks can be adequately addressed.

Jonathan Urges Zambian Parties to Accept Results, Refrain from Violence
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has urged political parties taking part in the August 11 general election in Zambia to refrain from violence and accept the outcome of the polls.
The former president who stated this yesterday at his press conference in Lusaka as Head of the African Union Election Observation Mission to Zambia, also appealed to political party leaders to endeavour to place the country's interest over their political ambitions.
Advising those that might lose the elections to be magnanimous and accept the results as the will of the people, Jonathan further said: "Politicians going in for elective positions should be open-minded about the outcome because they can either win or lose. Politicians who want to play meaningful roles in governance should realise that it is not about them. Those who care only about themselves should quit politics and begin to manage personal businesses.
"Our states are not private enterprises. You cannot be interested in governance without sufficient interest in the affairs of the people.
So the interest of the country should come first as politicians tick their priority boxes.
"This also requires politicians to accept the outcome of genuine elections because of the interest of the people. You cannot instigate violence and mayhem on the one hand and pretend that you are fighting for the people on the other. It does not make any sense to get involved in bloodshed, destroy properties, frustrate businesses and collapse the economy in order to win elections. Our advice is to put public interest above other expectations by accepting the results of elections."
The former president also noted that Zambia has had relatively smooth power transitions since gaining Independence from Britain in 1964, adding that the pre-election environment was conducive for a free and fair election.
"I believe that Zambia has served as the leading light and shown good examples over the issue of elections. I am convinced that the people of this country will maintain this exemplary peace during next
Thursday's general elections."
Organisations such as the European Union, African Union and regional bodies have also deployed their contingents to monitor the election.
Although there are many parties that registered candidates for the polls, Zambia's 2016 election is widely seen as a two horse-race.
Governing party, Patriotic Front's candidate Edgar Lungu who won last year's election was campaigning on a promise of stability and continuity. His main challenger of the United Party for National Development, Hakainde Hichilema promised to fix a "broken" economy.

Flatliners
Right from the get-go, as the opening title and credits roll and the messy CGI effects and warbling audio bites of people talking about near-death experiences nauseatingly assault your senses, you get a sinking feeling that director Niels Arden Oplev (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) and writer Ben Ripley (Source Code) have created something terrible. Lo and behold, this new take on the 90s non-classic Flatliners will most certainly join the ever-expanding ranks of atrocious remakes that the Hollywood conveyor belt has, in recent times, been churning out with merciless efficiency.
Flatliners tells the story of a group of medical students in a US college who decide to risk their lives to take a glimpse into the 'afterlife', by stopping their hearts for short periods of time, and then resuscitating themselves before death. But when strange aftereffects start to take hold and unsettling incidents concerning past sins start to occur, the students realise their lives may be in danger. Queue the nonsense…
There are many aspects to Flatliners that make it truly terrible, not least the fact that the film has a solid cast which includes Ellen Page (Inception), Diego Luna (Rogue One), James Norton (Mr Turner) and Kiersey Clemons (Dope), and Kiefer Sutherland, kind of reprising his character from the original, but in a minor role.
English actor Norton fares the worst with a terrible US accent and lines that you expect to hear from a crass 80s 'jock' college movie. It will undoubtedly cause much embarrassment when he sees his cringe-worthy performance, hopefully spurring him on to stick to his UK based roles – he is an actor with undoubted talent. Clemons doesn't fare much better with some of the most ridiculous representations of hysteria that you are unlikely to have seen outside of an American soap opera. Page just about holds her head high but Sutherland is what could only be described as primarily annoying and, secondly, completely unconvincing. But then none of them is in any shape or form convincing as medical students or doctors. No one survives unscathed from the atrocious script.
But the worst thing about Flatliners is just how stupid the whole story and premise is and how completely unnecessary it was to remake. The original is a ridiculous concept that Arden Oplev and Ripley have managed to make even sillier. No one wanted this remake and no amount of half-assed CGI and jump scares – some which are relatively effective, I have to admit – could ever make this a worthy use of two hours of your time. One thing I would say is that if you're into your so-bad-it's-good movies, then it may be right up your street.
Flatliners is inherently awful. But in that, there is a certain charm as you chuckle at the directorial and writing decisions, and watch the actors grapple with a script that is painfully bad. The phrase 'if you didn't laugh, you'd cry' springs to mind. You have been warned. Kev Lovski

6 Best Mature Cam2Cam Sites
A private cam2cam show with a magnificent, mesmerizing mature live porn performer is an experience everyone should have the privilege to enjoy. Whether it's a 30+ MILF, a 40+ fetish queen, or a GILF with a passion for the perverted, these lewd, yet sensual ladies can put on a premium live sex show like no other. Read on to find out which are the top 6 mature cam2cam sites with the best performers, video quality, user-experience and value for money.
CamSoda.com
CamSoda is a freemium site full of amateur sex performers who take the art of exhibitionism to new levels. Sex-loving MILFS, housewives, matures and GILFs broadcast their love of the extreme in free open chat rooms with many looking to party with a kinky new cam play-pal at rock bottom private chat rates.
Go to CamSoda
CamSoda allows anyone to to set themselves up as an adult model resulting in hundreds of hardcore live feeds showing full nudity and some far-out fetish fun the minute the homepage loads. On one hand, with so much choice, you're guaranteed to find a room that piques your curiosity. On the other hand, it can be hard to whittle down the results to only those girls of a golden age.
The site's search engine could do with some tweaking - on the top nav bar above the screenshots there is a tag for #mature - though this is far from perfect. Some models tag themselves with almost any search word resulting in a less than precise results page. Other models prefer to use #MILF or #Housewife and are thus not included in the results. The best way to find your chosen amateur adult is probably to do it the old-fashioned way, by just scanning all the preview galleries of online models.
Prices and streaming quality at CamSoda vary, though surprisingly, many of the at-home age-appropriate nymphos are broadcasting in full HD. On average, going cam2cam with matures stands at around $3.00 a minute, with some ladies asking a symbolic $0.70 a minute. Generally their rates include cam2cam and audio, though it's worth checking with the model before you start a private show.
To turn a private chat session in a c2c show, you begin a private chat and an option to Share Cam will appear under her video feed. Simply select the button and cam-to-cam is enabled.
If you're looking for stunning models of a certain age that are seasoned and skilled in live adult entertainment, if HD is a must - not an extra when it comes to enjoying a private cam2cam show and not wanting to compromise on quality doesn't mean you want to pay premium rates, then LiveJasmin is going to make you very happy.
This site is for cam connoisseurs who want to enjoy an erotic experience with lascivious ladies of a certain age and like to enjoy the finer fetishes in their sexual practices. On the homepage, the left hand nav bar offers a couple of options in narrowing down the results to those babes that suit your particular preference. Under the Category grouping, you can select Mature, which tends to narrow down the gallery of snapshots to models in the 40+ age range. Another way to get to the MILFS and matures is via Age - here you can choose either those in the 30-40 range or the mature 40+.
At first glance, prices for a 1on1, mature cam2cam LiveJasmin show may seem high. The published rates in a room for private chat don't include the use of 2-way cam and audio. Each of these features incurs a cost of an extra dollar or two a minute. On average, advertised rates come in at at $3.60 a minute, but you can find some MILFs who are offering the site's minimum charge for private chat which is $1.20 a minute.
To begin a cam2cam chat session you just select Start Private Show at the bottom of the chosen model's live video window, then click/tap on the webcam icon that appears on the left of the feed. To include 2-way audio you need to also click on the microphone icon.
Stripchat is all about breaking down barriers. It's models are from all corners of the globe, covering every ethnicity, appearance, proclivity and of course, age. It's one of the few cam sites that doesn't group all ladies over 30 into one mega mature category. Here you can find MILFs, Matures and even GILFs, or as they more politely term them Grannies).
While this may look like an up-market premium site, it is in fact a freemium site meaning models run the gauntlet from horny housewives and fetish loving GILFs, to verified porn-stars past their prime. But, under the guise of a premium site it has a well-ordered and clean homepage and a strong, intuitive and accurate search engine. To find the more seasoned sex performers, simply go to the left hand nav menu and choose from MILF, Mature or Granny. Cumulatively, these groups feature around 400 HD and SD streaming rooms online 24/7.
The site is currently the only webcam platform that offers users the option to engage in a virtual reality (VR) show. If you have a VR headset - Stripchat takes live porn cam2cam to a whole new level. Unfortunately, only a handful of MILFS are VR enabled - but if one of them strikes your fancy, this is an experience that cannot be missed.
Charges for cam2cam mature shows range from the super-cheap to the not-so cost-efficient. For example, some of the more life experienced ladies charge a budget-beating $0.80 a minute for a private performance, but on average, expect to pay around the $3.40 a minute mark. When it comes to paying a premium for using your webcam, some rooms include cam2cam in their rates and others will charge extra (even double the cost for a c2c performance).
To start your MILF or GILF c2c live sex show you simply select the Start Private option and in the pop-up box that appears select Cam2Cam.
To say Sexier is a cougar-friendly site is an understatement. This premium cam site has over 40,000 registered adult performers and a significant percentage of them are gorgeous girls that are in the second flush of youth. They're glamorous, they're sexy, they're kinky and they know exactly how to move every inch of their beautiful bodies to maximum advantage.
Go to Sexier
The site triumphs with its user-friendly and age adaptable search engine. On the homepage you can either find the horizontal menu bar at the top of the snapshots and choose MILFs and Matures for your viewing pleasure, or for an even stronger result specific to your age preference select the small search icon on the right of the same menu bar and then click on the Advanced Search box. This then brings up a sliding scale age bar where you set the exact age range, along with the kinks and fetishes and appearance attributes you'd like your fantasy femme to have.
Cam prices on the site are low and include cam2cam and audio but in keeping costs low, the site also keeps the streaming quality at a minimum and not many of the sexy seniors are broadcasting in HD. The cheapest rooms come in at a standard $1.00 a minute, though on average most women charge around the $2.50 a minute mark.
To kick off a cam2cam experience, you have to start a 1on1 session by selecting Enter Private Chat in the open cam room. Once your show has begun simply go to the top left corner of the live video feed and select the webcam and microphone icons.
xLoveCam.com
If you're into madams and senoras, hausfraus and nonnas, then xLoveCam has just what you're looking for. This European based live cam site is filled with ladies that have a certain 'je ne sais quoi' and proudly demonstrate why a Euro-woman's sense of style and seduction has yet to be surpassed.
Go to xLoveCam
There are several easy ways to sort out the golden girls on the homepage of XLoveCams. Head to the left nav bar and under Categories, choose Females 35-49 or MILFS. (They pretty much brings up the same selection). Another option is to scroll further down the same menu and select the desired age groups.
Rates for private shows include the cam2cam and 2-way audio and come in on the lower end of the pricing chart. For example, a c2c one-on-one show with a seasoned madam averages around $1.80 a minute and some rooms ask for just $1.10 a minute. It's worth bearing in mind that most performers on the site are streaming from their homes or budget studios and as such, HD seems to be in the minority, with most women still broadcasting in SD.
To begin a cam2cam adventure, you first must activate the Enter A Private Show option in the room. Once this kicks off, on the right side of the video feed you go to the bottom of the message box and select the webcam and microphone icon.
121SexCams.com
As a premium adult cam site, 121SexCams theoretically doesn't feature any nudity or hardcore antics in the free open chat rooms. Theoretically that might be so, but reality is somewhat different. With over 40,000 registered models and at least 1,000 streaming rooms online 24/7 - the X-rated models happily strip off and give viewers tempting mini-performances of what to expect should they pay for a private porn performance.
Go to 121SexCams
If you're looking for a cougar cam cutie, 121SexCams is just a two-click trip from the homepage. Select the green Categories box on the right of the homepage and in the scroll down menu you have three options: Granny, Housewives, Mature. (Housewives tends to bring up the majority of cam hosts and isn't recommended as an accurate search representation of the more mature models).
The payment system at 121SexCams is one of the most user-friendly and easy methods there is. It's a pay-as-you-go system. You just register a credit/debit card with the site, which only takes a few moments and then at the end of the month you're charged only for the time you've spent in private chat shows or tips you've given the golden girls. The site caps the daily spend for new users at $25.00 so you don't accrue any outrageous amounts. This cap can be increased by contacting the site.
The cheapest private cam chat rates start at just $1.00 a minute, though on average most girls ask around the $3.00 a minute mark. Rates don't necessarily include cam2cam usage, some rooms require an additional tip for this and is at the individual discretion of each host.
To enter a c2c mature sex chat show, you first start a private chat and click on the webcam icon that then appears in the live video feed.
From retired porn super-stars to horny housewives, sexy soccer moms and kinky grannies, finding the perfect MILF or mature madam is just a matter of a couple of clicks on most of the major sex cam sites. All the sites listed above are safe, secure and discreet using verified encryption technology to ensure your details and financials are kept far from prying eyes.
Choosing one site that is better than the rest is extremely hard, but for quality of video feed, selection of models and value for money, CamSoda doesn't disappoint. No matter which platform fuels your fancy, these Top 6 mature cam2cam sites are guaranteed to provide a live porn spectacular with a gorgeous 30+ stunner that can justifiably call herself a 'sexpert'.

Two New Zealanders onboard plane crash that killed nine people, Philippines media report
10:29, September 2, 2019
All nine people on board a small medical evacuation plane were killed when the aircraft crashed into a resort area south of the Philippine capital and exploded in flames, officials said.
Two people on the plane were believed to have been New Zealanders, Philippines media are reporting.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesperson said they were responding to reports of New Zealanders being involved in a plane crash in teh Philippine, but could not confirm any further information due to privacy reasons.
The light plane crashed into a resort compound in Pansol village in Laguna province near the foothills of Mount Makiling.
Police and rescuers retrieved nine bodies from the wreckage, police said.
Two people on the ground were injured and brought to a hospital.
Eric Apolonio, a spokesman of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, said the light plane was on a medical evacuation flight from southern Dipolog city in Zamboanga del Norte province and disappeared from radar for unknown reasons as it flew over Laguna, about 60 kilometres south of the capital.
The plane was supposed to land in Manila.
The nine on board the plane included two pilots, two nurses, a doctor, a patient, the patient's wife and two other people, police said.
Videos posted online by witnesses showed flames and black smoke billowing from the private resort compound in Pansol, a district popular for its hot springs and swimming pools.
Firefighters and an ambulance can be seen near the scene of the crash as local officials asked villagers to step back to a safe distance.
The crash happened during the monsoon season, when fewer people visit Pansol's resorts compared to the hot summer months that ended in June.

A vérfarkas (Heart) az Odaát című televíziós sorozat második évadjának tizenhetedik epizódja.

Cselekmény

A fiúk útja San Francisco városába vezet, ahol már hónapok óta különös dolgok történnek: minden egyes holdtölte előtti héten embereket marcangol szét valami, az áldozatok szíve pedig eltűnik. Deannek és Samnek nem kell sok idő, hogy rájöjjenek: egy vérfarkas áll a háttérben.

Miután Sam megnézte a legutóbbi szétszabott embert, egy Nate nevű ügyvédet, Deannel meglátogatnak egy Madison nevű nőt, aki rátalált az áldozatra. Madison elmondja a "nyomozóknak", hogy volt egy Kurt nevű exbarátja, aki egy alkalommal összeverekedett Nate-tel, ennek talán lehet valami köze az ügyhöz.

A fivérek betörnek Kurt lakására, és az erkély falán karmolásnyomokat találnak, majd egy lövést hallanak. A hang irányába indulva, az utca sikátorában találnak egy halott rendőrt, szétmarcangolt testtel.

A fiúk ismét meglátogatják Madisont, és hogy ne essen baja, Sam a lakásán marad. Míg a két fiatal egyre jobban összemelegedik, Dean követi Kurtöt a sztriptízbáron át a házáig, ott azonban a vérfarkas megjelenik, és megöli a férfit. Dean ugyan megsebzi jobb karján a szörnyeteget, az azonban leüti a fiút.

Dean reggel felébred, és azonnal szól öccsének, hogy Madison a gyilkos teremtmény. A fiú először nem hiszi el, ám miután meglátta annak karján a vágást, egy székhez kötözi a lányt. A fivérek megtudják tőle, hogy egy hónapja valaki kirabolta és megharapta az utcán, így elméletük szerint ha a tettest megölik, a vérvonal megszakad, így Madison újra önmaga lesz.

A lány éjszaka azonban ismét átváltozik és kiszabadítva magát Sam életére tör, a fiú azonban bezárja a szekrényben. Ez idő alatt Dean Madison elmondásai alapján rátalál a másik vérfarkasra -aki valójában Madison szomszédja, Glen-, és ezüst töltényekkel teli pisztolyával végez vele.

Madison az ezt követő éjjel nem változik át, és miután egyedül maradt Sammel, az ágyban kötnek ki. Reggel azonban ismét előtör belőle a vérfarkas és elszökik, így újra emberré változása után megkéri a fivéreket: végezzenek vele.

Sam ugyan ellenzi, ám Madison és Dean meggyőzése után saját maga ragad pisztolyt, és könnyes szemekkel megöli a nőt…

Természetfeletti lények

Vérfarkas

A vérfarkas valójában egy emberi lény, mely egy korábban kapott vérfarkas általi harapástól minden teliholdkor átváltozik: fogai hegyesebbek lesznek, karmai megnőnek, és fizikai ereje is sokszorosára változik.

Ilyenkor az átváltozott nem ura önmagának, valószínűleg amikor magánál van, akkor sem tudja, milyen vérszomjas szörnyeteg is képes lenni. Eme lény valószínűleg kapcsolatban áll az alakváltókkal, testfelépítésük sokban egyezik.

A vérfarkast csak az étvágya hajtja, áldozatai leginkább emberek, elpusztítani pedig ezüst tárgyakkal, például ezüst lövedékkel lehet.

About 6,600 people in the state accounted for $148 million in hospital emergency department spending in 2016, or about 6 percent of total patients that year.
This group, called superutilizers, visited hospital emergency rooms numerous times in 2016, according to a report from the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services Division of Public Health.
Among all patients, 1,216 visited 10 or more times each, and 6,651 visited five or more times.
Eight patients visited emergency departments 50 times or more in a single year, and 95 of them had 25 or more visits, according to the report.
That includes both private insurance companies and patients on public insurance such as Medicare or Medicaid.
The statistics are based on the total charges reported by the hospitals to the state through the Health Facilities Data Reporting program.
Emergency room visits are notoriously expensive and vary widely based on the condition treated.
In total, hospitals charged approximately $621.6 million for 204,880 visits in 2016, coming out to an average charge of $3,033.85 per visit. However, the vast majority of those charges went to less than 10 percent of the users.
"Individuals who use the ED frequently contribute disproportionately to total charges," the report states.
The state only has two years of data, for 2015 and 2016, as 2015 was the first mandatory year for reporting, so it's hard to track long-term trends so far, said DHSS spokesman Clinton Bennett in an email. The state didn't have any specific goals in compiling the data, he said.
"This analysis was produced for general informational purposes, to better understand who most uses Emergency Department services and why," he said.
The most frequent diagnoses for the top 1.1 percent of emergency department visitors were alcohol-related disorders, abdominal and pelvic pain, pain in the throat and chest, back pain, unclassified pain, joint disorders, nausea and vomiting and anxiety disorders, according to the report.
Medicaid was by far the most dominant type of insurance among the most common users, with about 53.9 percent of the top 1.1 percent of users on Medicaid.
Medicare was the next highest at 18.4 percent, according to the report.
Anchorage is the most frequent location for both general emergency visits and for superutilizers, correlated to Anchorage being the population center for the state as well as having the largest hospitals.
However, a data error may have led to a slight undercounting, according to the report.
"Because one major facility in the Mat-Su region did not report a unique patient identifier, repeat visits cannot be identified and superutilizers from this region are likely undercounted," the report states.
The trend of superutilization has received attention nationally after the term was coined in the early 2010s to refer to patients to utilize significantly more health care dollars than the average.
In 2012, about 5 percent of patients accounted for 50 percent of Medicaid spending nationally, according to a 2015 report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Multiple other states have instituted programs to try to coordinate emergency department data to reduce usage and improve treatment, such as the University of Florida Health, which saw a 25 percent reduction in superutilizer hospitalizations after instituting a specialized clinic to treat them.
Alaska's hospitals are starting to link together and coordinate information to do the same.
The Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association launched a collaborate project with the Alaska chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians in 2017 to coordinate care better both to reduce overutilization and to help track prescriptions amid the ongoing opioid crisis in the state.
Most of the hospitals on the railbelt are already signed onto the system, which connects emergency department data between hospitals to keep both primary care physcians and emergency room physicians better informed about a patient's background, said Becky Hultberg, the executive director of the Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association.
All the hospitals on the Kenai Peninsula are online with the project, she said.
Emergency room physicians can feel like they are treating patients in a vacuum — when people come in, the physicians may not have any idea what medications they are taking at home or what their medical histories may be.
It's often the case with patients who live off the road system and come into Fairbanks or Anchorage to use hospitals, Hultberg said.
The idea is to connect primary care physicians and emergency department doctors so they have more complete pictures of patients to improve care, she said.
"The states of Washington and Oregon are also live on this system and it is really becoming a regional if not a national network," she said.
One of the challenges to quantifying how successful the project is, though, is in isolating its effect from other projects going on. The coordinators haven't established any clear success metrics yet, Hultberg said.
