The Epidemiology of Stevnes-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis in the UK
Frey, Noel and Jossy, Janine and Bodmer, Michael and Jick, Susan S. and Meier, Christoph R. and Spoendlin, Julia. (2017) The Epidemiology of Stevnes-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis in the UK. Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 137. pp. 1240-1247.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare but life-threatening mucocutaneous diseases. SJS/TEN mostly manifest as a reaction to new drug use, but little is known about their incidence and epidemiology. We conducted a large observational study on the epidemiology of SJS/TEN using data from the UK-based Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Among 551 validated SJS/TEN patients, we calculated an incidence rate of 5.76 SJS/TEN cases per million person-years between 1995 and 2013, which was consistent throughout the study period and was highest in patients aged 1e10 years and 80 years or older. Within a 1:4 matched case-control analysis, black and Asian patients were at a 2-fold risk of SJS/TEN when compared with white patients. Among patients with epilepsy and gout, odds ratios for SJS/TEN were significantly increased only in the presence of recent new drug treatment with antiepileptics or allopurinol, respectively. We observed statistically significant associations between SJS/TEN and pre-existing depression, lupus erythematosus, recent pneumonia, chronic kidney disease, and active cancer, but confounding by drug use needs to be followed up. This large and longitudinal observational study on the epidemiology of SJS/TEN contributes to the understanding of this still underinvestigated severe skin disease in a European and largely white study population.

The long-held approach to predicting seasonal influenza vaccine effectiveness may need to be revisited, new research suggests. Currently, seasonal flu vaccines are designed to induce high levels of protective antibodies against hemagglutinin (HA), a protein found on the surface of the influenza virus that enables the virus to enter a human cell and initiate infection.
New research conducted by scientists at NIAID found that higher levels of antibody against a different flu surface protein—neuraminidase (NA)—were the better predictor of protection against flu infection and its unpleasant side effects. Neuraminidase, which is not currently the main target antigen in traditional flu vaccines, enables newly formed flu viruses to exit the host cell and cause further viral replication in the body.
The findings, from a clinical trial in which healthy volunteers were willingly exposed to naturally occurring 2009 H1N1 influenza type A virus, appeared online Apr. 19 in the open-access journal mBio.
Women live longer in areas with more green vegetation, says new NIEHS-funded research.
Women live longer in areas with more green vegetation, according to new research funded by NIEHS. Women with the highest levels of vegetation, or greenness, near their homes had a 12 percent lower death rate compared to women with the lowest levels of vegetation near their homes. The results were published Apr. 14 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
The researchers found the biggest differences in death rates from kidney disease, respiratory disease and cancer. The scientists also explored how an environment with trees, shrubs and plants might lower mortality rates. They showed that improved mental health and social engagement are the strongest factors, while increased physical activity and reduced air pollution also contribute.
The study examined greenness around the homes of 108,630 women in the long-term Nurses' Health Study. The scientists consistently found lower mortality rates in women as levels of trees and plants increased around their homes. This trend was seen for separate causes of death, as well as when all causes were combined.
For decades, it was thought that scar-forming cells called astrocytes were responsible for blocking neuronal regrowth across the level of spinal cord injury, but recent findings challenge this idea. According to a new mouse study, astrocyte scars may actually be required for repair and regrowth following spinal cord injury. The research was funded by NINDS and published in Nature.
Neurons communicate with one another by sending messages down long extensions called axons. When axons in the brain or spinal cord are severed, they do not grow back automatically. For example, damaged axons in the spinal cord can result in paralysis. When an injury occurs, astrocytes become activated and go to the injury site, along with cells from the immune system, and form a scar.
Scars have immediate benefits by decreasing inflammation at the injury site and preventing spread of tissue damage. However, long-term effects of the scars were thought to interfere with axon regrowth.
Another study lauds a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole-grain foods.
Sticking to a healthy diet in the years after pregnancy may reduce the risk of high blood pressure among women who had pregnancy-related (gestational) diabetes, according to a study by researchers at NIH and other institutions. The study was published in Hypertension.
"Our study suggests that women who have had gestational diabetes may indeed benefit from a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains and low in red and processed meats," said the study's senior author, Dr. Cuilin Zhang, a senior investigator in the Epidemiology Branch, NICHD.
In fact, a healthy diet was associated with lower risk for high blood pressure even in obese women. Obesity is a risk factor for high blood pressure. But obese women in the study who adhered to a healthy diet had a lower risk of high blood pressure, when compared to obese women who did not.
Approximately 5 percent of pregnant women in the United States develop gestational diabetes, despite not having diabetes before becoming pregnant. The condition results in high blood sugar levels, which can increase the risk of early labor and a larger than average baby, which may result in problems during delivery. For most women with the condition, blood sugar levels return to normal after birth. However, later in life, women who had gestational diabetes are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
The current study is the first to show that adopting a healthy diet—known to reduce high blood pressure risk among the general population—also reduces the risk among women with prior gestational diabetes.

Bp. Scanlan Deposes Priest
Adapted from a release by the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania
The Rt. Rev. Audrey Scanlan of the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania deposed the Rev. Howard White on Oct. 11.
Several adults sexually abused students at St. George's School in Middleton, Rhode Island, in the 1970s and '80s, says a 390-page report [PDF] released in September by investigators on behalf of the school. The report mentions White, 75, repeatedly.
Amid media reports about sexual abuse at St. George's, several people in other dioceses accused White of sexually abusing them when they were young.
"We are committed to keeping God's children safe, and we are heartbroken when we fail," Scanlan said. "My hope is that the appalling events documented at St. George's School will lead our church to intensify its efforts to protect young people in every setting, and continue our commitment to preventing abuse with thorough training for clergy, staff, and volunteers who work with children."
White accepted the notice that he is no longer a priest but did not agree with the charges. Scanlan had placed him on leave in January when the allegations first surfaced, and prohibited him from functioning as a priest or being alone with minors. White retired in 2006, but was serving as a supply priest on weekends at St. James Church in Bedford.
Scanlan met in the evening of Oct. 11 with parishioners to inform them of her decision and to offer pastoral care. "I assured them that my staff and I would accompany them in this difficult time," she said.
No allegations of abuse have been lodged against White during his time in the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania. He as a priest in that diocese, he has been under Scanlan's authority since she became bishop in September 2015.

Remove Party Names from Ballots
23 October 2015 / Sean
With the election of a Liberal government on Monday, it looks like we may finally get electoral reform in Canada. Some pundits don't think that a majority government will do it, but I believe that there is enough evidence that strategic voting got the Liberals their majority that they may actually follow through, knowing that they will lose those votes by the next election if they don't do something.
My top priority for voting reform if of course the ranked or preferential ballot. My second priority, something I haven't discussed before, is the removal of party names from the ballot. It seems like a small change, but I think it is vital.
There is a law in Canada that party advertising is not allowed in a polling place. The idea is that it may affect the outcome of the vote as people may be more inclined to vote for a candidate after seeing an ad for that candidate. Makes sense to me, keep the playing field level.
But then, once you get to the ballot, the name of the political party appears next to each of the candidates. It can be argued that this takes away the "level playing field" between candidates, making what is supposed to be a local decision into one based on national party. And that is really the crux of this. In our system, you vote for the local candidate, not the national leader.
The idea of voting for a local candidate is so that that person, who has a personal knowledge of the riding, can make decisions based on the wishes of the electorates in that riding. A party only gains power in our system when enough of those local representatives give it the confidence of the House. Many of the problems we have had of late have been because the national party dictates to the local member instead of the other way around.
If you remove party names from ballots, what you do is make it more important for the local candidate to become known. A candidate like Brandon-Souris' Larry Maguire would have done just fine on Monday because he ran a locally focused campaign based on his own personality and with a catchy local slogan, "Rehire Maguire."
If you look north, to Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa, there may be an example of a riding that may have had different results had party name not been on the ballot. In that riding, you had Inky Mark, former Conservative MP, running as an independent along with the other regular party representatives. As it stands, Mr. Mark only got 8.1% of the vote on Monday night, versus over 40% for his Conservative opponent. I have no way of proving it, but I suspect that had there been no party affiliation listed on the ballot, Mr. Mark's numbers would have been higher, and Mr. Sopuck's (Conservative) would have been lower. Both men are known to stand for small "c" conservative values, and both have won the old riding of Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette with over 18,000 votes.
Perhaps I am wrong, but if I am then removing the party name will have no affect on the outcome of an election, no harm, no foul. If I am right, then party name on a ballot is affecting the outcome, essentially acting as advertising inside a polling place.
Some would argue that removing party affiliation from a ballot would impede the ability of some people to vote. If, after 36 to 78 days of a campaign, if you are not informed enough by that point to be able to identify your local candidate's name that will best represent you, then perhaps you are not informed enough to vote. The only reason to have a party name on a ballot is to help "direct" you to which candidate that you should vote for. It amounts to an advertisement for the party, something Elections Canada should not be helping parties do.
Advertising inside a polling place is illegal for a reason.
Harper sets trap – Catches self
The Harper Era is over.
Justin Trudeau rode a wave of anti-Harper sentiment, and a desire for change, to getting the keys for his childhood home at 24 Sussex Drive in Ottawa, the Prime Minister's official residence.
There are, I'm sure, many reasons for Mr. Harper's defeat, many of them his own; I'm going to focus on one. It happened before he ever go a majority in 2011.
Stephen Harper is a victim of his own short-sightedness. One of the things you need to do when you create legislation is think about the consequences, especially what would be the unforeseen consequences of said legislation. Stephen Harper backed himself into a corner, starting in May of 2006 when he introduced Bill C-16 to amend the Canada Elections Act creating fixed election dates. He then broke that law in 2008. Breaking it again would have probably been looked at very negatively.
With a majority win in 2011, Mr. Harper's own law meant that the next election would be on October 19, 2015 unless he himself did something to prevent that. He had locked himself in. Unfortunately, that only gave him a two year window before he needed to think about Conservative re-election. Why two years? Because if he decided sometime before the election that he is personally unpopular, he needed enough time to signal his resignation, allow for a new leadership contest, and then allow the new leader enough time to put their own stamp on the government. Such a process was going to take at least a year and a half.
The Conservatives simply ran out of time.
It started becoming apparent about a year ago, maybe a little more, that there were a lot of senior Conservative MPs that were starting to resign from politics or signalling that they would not be running in this year's election. I heard more than a couple of people refer to it as the rats abandoning the ship. My guess is, internal polling was showing that the party was in deep trouble, the Prime Minister's leadership being one of the main issues.
But it was too late.
I have a feeling that Stephen Harper didn't see this coming two years ago, but that it was very apparent 12 months ago. Had he not been limited by his own law, he could have resigned and the new Prime Minister could have waited to call an election in 2016. In an election that was about defeating Stephen Harper, a new Conservative leader may have been able to save a few more seats just by not being Stephen Harper.
Stephen Harper set a trap for future Prime Minister's, then promptly got caught in it himself.
The Cowboy and the Niqab
This happened at a polling station in Edmonton during advanced polling last weekend.
Cowboy voter at advance poll was protesting niqab at citizenship ceremony
(CBC.ca)
As a protest of wearing a niqab to vote or to swear a citizenship oath, this guy's stunt was an abject failure. He got it wrong. He was allowed to vote, as he should have been, the same as someone wearing a religious face covering. He didn't actually prove anything.
However, in the story it also mentions what brought this on.
He was in court last month, supporting his partner who had to testify, when he was asked by the court clerk to remove his hat. When he responded that it was his cultural practice to wear his hat, he was told that he would be physically removed from the courtroom if he failed to comply.
Before an election, a woman wearing a hijab in Quebec was told by a judge that she could not appear without removing the head garment. The judge was thoroughly lambasted by many people as being culturally intolerant or even racist. Some political leaders said that the judge was wrong to not let the woman testify.
Here's the thing. After thinking about it… for quite a while, I also came to the conclusion that the judge was being intolerant and should have heard the case. How the hell does a woman wearing a niqab affect the judge's ability to effectively do her job? The excuse that one should show respect for the Court by removing head coverings is not a good enough reason to cause this woman what could be profound personal anguish if forced to remove her religious garment.
Here's the thing though, justice needs to not only be applied equally, it needs to be seen to be applied equally. That means no special rules based on religion, especially in a courtroom.
To me, this means that he should have never been asked to remove his hat in the courtroom. Was he just doing it to be an ass? Most likely. Unfortunately, being an ass doesn't automatically mean that he was wrong.
He should not have been asked to remove his hat, and if politicians such as Justin Trudeau, Tom Mulcair, and Marc Garneau are true to their word, they will defend his right to wear what he wants.
After all, just a few months ago all three vowed to defend the right to wear what you want, even if it was unpopular.

Since the Seventies, Diane von Furstenberg has been one of the industry's most influential fashion designers.
In 1974, the Belgian-born, New York-based designer introduced the iconic wrap dress, defining her feminine and empowering design aesthetic for the years to come.
Aside from fashion design, Furstenberg has served as the chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America for 13 years, and is set to pass on the role to Tom Ford in June following the upcoming CFDA Awards.

The Bible presents baptism as an outward sign of faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Christian baptism is an act of obedience to the command of Jesus, declaring the believer's faith in and identification with their crucified, buried, and risen Savior. Baptism is a visible sermon of the gospel of Jesus Christ, identifying the Christian with his death, burial, and resurrection. Baptism does not save and is not "necessary" for salvation. (Matt. 28:19–20; Rom. 6:1–11; 1 Cor. 12:13; Col. 2:12).
The New Testament consistently demonstrates that those who are baptized are people who have put their trust in Jesus and turned from sin. John the Baptizer called people to repentance before they were baptized (Mark 1:4; Luke 3:3). Baptism is reserved solely for those who have received Jesus as their Lord and Savior. In addition, Jesus commanded that all Christians should be baptized (Matt. 28:19). His apostles also commanded that all Christians be baptized (Acts 2:38).
We practice what is called "believer's" baptism, which means we only baptize those who believe and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.


A home is one of the basic needs of people. People need shelter to live in may it be a small room, an apartment or a mansion. There are people who sell their house because they are moving to a new place or planning to buy a new one. If you are trying to sell your house, you need to do everything to make it more marketable. This is because there are lots of houses that are being sold. This means that the competition is tight.
Buyers will be checking different houses for sale before deciding to buy one. If they check your house, they need to see that your house is better than the others. Here are the steps on how to make your home more marketable to buyers.
Choose the best agent. There are many real estate agents offering their service. Do a research before getting one. See the agents available near you and ask about their service. Ask their strategy on how they will sell your house. Your home should be well advertised so people will be able to know that you are selling it. Pictures should be taken on all parts of the house so prospective buyers will have a preview. Study all the plans and details of each agent and decide which one you think is best for you. You should also keep a regular communication with your chosen agent to be updated with the status of your house.
Make the front of your house presentable. First impression matters. This is true when you're selling your house. The first thing that buyers will see when they visit your house is its front. If the front part of your house is messy and ugly, this will already have a negative impact on the buyers. This might even instantly make them decide not to get the house. They will not even check what's inside. That's why it's very important to check it and make necessary improvement. Remove weeds on the driveway and in the garden. Trim grass so it will not look like an abandoned house. Plant flowers in the garden to make it look more homey and inviting.
Paint wall with neutral colors. People like different colors. But since there will be different people who will check your house, you will not know which color they will like and even if you do, it's not practical to change the color of the wall everytime someone will take a look at the house. To be safe, paint your walls with neutral colors like beige and white. You can even add on the details of the advertisement that your house is newly painted. Buyers will be more interested because this means that they will be able to save money for repainting.
Clean the whole house. Cleaning the other parts of the house is as important as cleaning the front. If they see from outside that the house is inviting and homey, they should still feel the same when they get inside and check the other parts of the house. Make sure to clean the house thoroughly. If you have pets, better put these outside to make sure that no fur or pet waste will be seen inside the house. Use air freshener to make the house smell good. Remove personal things like pictures so that the buyers will be able to imagine themselves living there. If your personal things are displayed, it might be hard for them to think that it's their own house. Make sure to repair all that needs to be fixed. Buyers will definitely not like a house which has a lot of things that need to be fixed.
With the steps provided, your home will surely be more marketable and you will soon find a buyer for your house.

Q: exception in Linq to sql my query is :
var ReadAndUnreadMessages =
        (from m in MDB.Messages
         orderby m.Date descending
         where m.ID_Receive == (Guid)USER.ProviderUserKey && m.Delete_Admin == false
         select new AllMessages()
         {
             id = (LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).ID_Message,
             parent = (Guid)(LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).ID_Message_Parent,
             sender = (LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).ID_Sender,
             receiver = (Guid)USER.ProviderUserKey,
             subject = (LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).Subject.Subject1.ToString() == "Other" ?
                           (LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).Other_Subject
                           :
                           (LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).Subject.Subject1.ToString(),
             body = (LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).Body.Length > 26 ?
                     (LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).Body.Substring(0, 25) + "..."
                     :
                     (LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).Body,
             date = (LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).Date.ToShortDateString(),
             read =(LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).IsRead,
             finished = (LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)[LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message).Count - 1] as Message).IsFinished,
             count = MessageClass.LoadAll(m.ID_Message).Count
         }).ToList();

and exception is :

The argument 'value' was the wrong type. Expected 'Message'. Actual 'System.Object'.

what does meaning it?
LoadMessageChildren :
public static ArrayList LoadMessageChildren(Guid Parent)
{
    ArrayList arr = new ArrayList();
    Guid id = Parent;
    while (id != Guid.Empty)
    {
        arr.Add(LoadMessage(id));
        try
        {
            id = (Guid)MDB.Messages.Single(a => a.ID_Message_Parent == id).ID_Message;
        }
        catch
        {
            id = Guid.Empty;
        }
    }
    return arr;
}

LoadMessage :
public static Message LoadMessage(Guid id)
{
    var mess = from m in MDB.Messages
               where m.ID_Message == id
               select m;

    return mess.Single();
}

A: The code is unreadable, and as a bad case of code repetition (and multiple executions of LoadMessageChildren).
For starters, consider the following:
from m in MDB.Messages
     orderby m.Date descending
     where m.ID_Receive == (Guid)USER.ProviderUserKey && m.Delete_Admin == false
     let children = LoadMessageChildren(m.ID_Message)
     let lastChildMessage = children.Last()
     select new AllMessages()
     {
         id = lastChildMessage.ID_Message,
         ...
     }

This may solve your problem, as it is might be caused by using the [] indexer.
Aside from that, it is not clear the posted code is causing the exception.

A: The error is most likely caused by the use of the ArrayList.
The problem is that LINQ was designed to work with generic collections that implement the System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T> interface. The ArrayList is a nongeneric collection that internally stores everything as an Object. So when you retrieve something from the ArrayList you need to cast it to a Message.
Looking at your error message it looks like somewhere a Message object is expected, but the instance in your ArrayList (an Object) is not casted to a Message object when that reference occurs. Also, the ArrayList does not implement the IEnumerable<T> interface which might get you into trouble in certain situations also.
How to fix it?
I suggest changing the implementation of your LoadMessageChildren to use a generic list (List<Message>):
public static List<Message> LoadMessageChildren(Guid Parent)
{
    List<Message> arr = new List<Message>();
    Guid id = Parent;
    while (id != Guid.Empty)
    {
        arr.Add(LoadMessage(id));
        try
        {
            id = (Guid)MDB.Messages.Single(a => a.ID_Message_Parent == id).ID_Message;
        }
        catch
        {
            id = Guid.Empty;
        }
    }
    return arr;
}

You will have to make also change the code that interacts with the generic list in terms of retrieving/referencing items. But that is just syntax. Since equivalent methods for dealist with lists and items exist.
There are also advantages in terms of performance and compile-time validation for switching from ArrayList to List<T>. The ArrayList is basically an inheritance from version 1.0 of the .Net Framework when there was no support for generics and it just get kept in the framework probably for compatibility reasons.
There are greater benefits for using generics.
UPDATED ANSWER:
The "Method 'System.Collections.Generic.List'1[Message] LoadMessageChildren(System.Guid)' has no supported translation to SQL" exception that you are getting is caused by the fact that your LoadMessageChildren method is not mapping to a stored procedure or a user defined function in your database.
You cannot have any regular C# method call inside your LINQ to SQL queries. The LINQ to SQL object model interprets a method found inside your query as either a stored procedure or a user defined function. So the engine is basically looking for a method called LoadMessageChildren that maps to a stored procedure or a user defined function in your database. Because there are no mappings, it tells you that no supported translation to SQL was found. The LINQ to SQL object model link shows you how to use method attributes to map a method that executes a stored procedure.
You have a few choices now:

*

*create stored procedures of your regular C# method calls

*rewrite your LINQ query to use joins to select child messages

A: The only thing I see you using LoadChildMessages() for in the end is to get the child message count... Unless I am wrong I would think you could write it as a join. You doing a lot of queries with in queries that don't seem necessary and are probably causing multiple hits to the database. My question to that would be why isn't there a relationship in your dmbl/sql database so that LinqToSql knows to create a property as a List<Message> ChildMessages
But here is my take:
var query = from message in MDB.Messges
            join childmessage in MDB.Messages.Where(child => child.ID_Message_Parent == message.ID_Message) into childMessages
            from childMessage in childMessages.DefaultIfEmpty() // This creates a
            // left outer join so you get parent messages that don't have any children
            where message.ID_Receive == (Guid)USER.ProviderUserKey && message.Delete_Admin == false
            select new AllMessages()
            {
                id = message.ID_Message,
                parent = message.ID_Message_Parent,
                sender = message.ID_Sender,
                receiver = (Guid)USER.ProviderUserKey,
                subject = message.Subject.Subject1.ToString() == "Other" ?
                           message.Other_Subject
                           :
                           message.Subject.Subject1.ToString(),
                body = message.Body.Length > 26 ?
                     message.Body.Substring(0, 25) + "..."
                     :
                     message.Body,
                date = message.Date.ToShortDateString(),
                read =message.IsRead,
                finished = message.IsFinished,
                count = childMessage.Count() // This might have to be this
                //count = childMessage == null ? 0 : childMessage.Count()
            };

var ReadAndUnreadMessages = query.ToList();

But it's hard to say because I can't run the code... Please respond and let me know if this works.
Note: May I suggest using a class that links to your DataContext.Log property that writes the generated TSQL code to the debugger window. Here is an article on writing your own. It has really help me know when I am making unnecessary calls to the database.

With a peppy acoustic guitar and the squeal of steel, 'You're All That Matters to Me' by Miss Willie Brown begins with so much promise. Even through the first verse of the song -- which is approaching the Top 40 on country charts -- one hopes this duo has found the formula for success that evaded similar all-female duos like Bomshel and the JaneDear Girls.
But they haven't. The cut relies on the most overworked metaphors in country music and a limited vocal performance. There is an attempt to harmonize during the pre-chorus and chorus, but it's buried deep beneath layers of electric guitar, cymbals and... noise.
"I am the honey, you're the bee / I am the branch, you are the tree / I am the wave, you are the sea / Yeah, you are everything to me," Amanda Watkins and Kasey Buckley sing. "I am your sun, you are my sky / You are the beauty to my eye / You are my wings, you make me fly / To every question you're the why / Oh you're all that matters / Yeah, you're all that matters to me / You're all that matters to me."
The melody during this part of the song rides along the upper reaches of the lead singer's range. It's not a comfortable listen. A one-armed man with a one-string guitar would find a more dynamic set of notes.
"Nice touch, nice kiss / It's too good to be true when it feels like this / Nice hands, nice guns / When it gets this good babe, it must be love," the country newcomers add, trading lyrics during the verse.
True, they're not attempting to create anything more than a feel-good, sweet love song with an irresistible hook, but 'You're All That Matters to Me' is too frothy. Imagine blowing the foam off the top of a pumpkin spice latte to find an empty cup.
There's no doubt this song sounds better live. The two women do have great chemistry, and it genuinely sounds like they're having fun on this record. That should make for a good live show, but it's not always a good idea to bring that energy into the studio.


We all have the opportunity to make the world a better place. Look around and you will see the current state of affairs can look bleek. Depending on your focus the world can feel like it is coming undone. Well it isn't. The world is speaking up and screaming and letting us know that enough is enough.
Sometimes we have to know what we don't like, in order to find out what we do like. We have to see so much pain and suffering to make us change. Right now that is what is happening. But fighting back is not the answer. Complaining, negativity, despair and frustration is not the answer.
Kindness, love and positivity is what changes things.
How do you know. Try it out. See what happens if you run into situation that is less than desirable. An argument, and attitude.. If you respond in anger and frustration, it amplifies get bigger. If you respond it a different manner it can change completely. The energy you put out can create a positive change. And that is the ONE thing we can control. Change your attitude and watch what happens in your life. If you can think you can make a difference and control the culture by complaining you can't. You can not change what happens to you, you can change how you respond.
And when you respond with positive, love and kindness, the world will change with you, one heart at a time.

'The Lord of the Rings' Teaches You How to Create the Perfect Prologue
Writing is hard. Writing and creating the perfect prologue requires studying the best prologue there ever was.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring opens with a prologue that changed how we think about exposition dumps.
Typically, explaining things to your audience is hard to do in such a short amount of time, but the screenwriters for Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring found clever ways to explain the history of Middle-earth and the rings of power without boring us to tears.
Normally, a prologue is an introductory scene that introduces the audience to the tone, pace, themes, and characters of the story. Unfortunately, many prologues can't deliver the information needed to be told in a way that is exciting or interesting. Pentex Productions points out how The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring stands over the rest, using language inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien's novel of the same name to perfect its storytelling and worldbuilding.
Check out Pentex Productions' full breakdown of the prologue below:
Writing Exposition
Screenwriters Fran Walsh, Philipa Boyens, and Peter Jackson knew that adapting the novel would be tricky. They couldn't directly copy lines from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings because literature has a very different language from film.
Tolkien is known for his long-winded, highly detailed descriptions of people, places, and events. Within literature, excessive descriptions and exposition are acceptable even if it doesn't directly serve the story. When adapting a novel to film, the writers have to be very conscious about what information is being told to the audience in a limited amount of time.
Instead, The Fellowship of the Ring's screenwriters adapted the feeling and tone of Tolkien's language and rich style.
Using words like "fairest of all beings," "craftsmen of the mountain halls," and "malice" echo the famous poem at the start of the novels, extending a hand of praise while celebrating the world Tolkien created without mimicking him.
Introducing the Antagonist
The prologue is commonly used to introduce the audience to the story's antagonist. The introduction establishes the power and force behind the malignant creature that threatens the protagonist, and should instill fear in the audience, so why put this important task into a throwaway line?
In the case of The Fellowship of the Ring, the prologue introduces Sauron and the One Ring through language that emphasizes the suspense and mystery around his evil. Words like "deceived," "the fires of Mount Doom," and "secret" are used before seeing Sauron, building tension around his malevolent character.
The One Ring is also characterized in the prologue as having all of Sauron's "cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all." There is no doubt that Sauron and the One Ring are a force to be reckoned with.
Even after the death of Sauron, the prologue establishes that the One Ring is an evil that lives on to continue the cruelty of Sauron. When the One Ring finds Gollum, the script tells the audience that Gollum's soul was corrupted by the Ring.
A small, yet important note that the prologue focused on was the passage of time. The narration begins with, "The world is changed" over thousands of years. The prologue ends with the location of the One Ring, bringing the audience and the story into modern Middle-earth times.

Using Language to Build the World
Fellowship of the Ring is quick to establish the fantasy world of The Lord of the Rings franchise. The first spoken word of the prologue isn't in English. Instead, the screenwriters decided to start with Quenya, a language of the Elves in Middle-earth.
The funny thing about language is how it draws on your emotions. When the audience hears Quenya for the first time, they are drawn in by the beauty of the unfamiliar words, piquing their curiosity about who is speaking and what they are saying.
The mystery of hearing another constructed language before hearing English establishes the mythical, fable-like quality of the fantasy world.
'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'CREDIT: New Line Cinema
Many filmmakers forget that they are working with a visual medium, and can use a single frame to tell a larger story. The Fellowship of the Ring uses visuals to show key elements of the story that would have been lost or forgotten if told through the prologue or by a character later on in the story.
As the prologue begins, the audience can see the geography of Middle-earth through a map shown on a screen. The prologue also shows the audience Galadriel (Cate Blanchett), the races of Elves, Dwarves, and Men, Elrond (Hugo Weaving), the breaking of Narsil, the One Ring's ability to move, and Gollum's deformity while telling the audience the information they need to know.
Every single shot is dripping with detail. The audience believes in the story that they are being told because they can see the depth of the world in the film. The filmmakers and audience are not limited to what is in the script. Instead, the world is opened by the stunning visuals in each frame.

Editing a Prologue to Perfection
Walsh, Boyens, and Jackson all admit that editing was the hardest part of creating the prologue. Knowing what to show the audience to keep them engaged is equally as important as word choice.
Being deliberate about what information the audience is allowed to know at the point in the film is essential in not making an exposition dump boring or too extensive. It's important to remember that the prologue is the groundwork for the rest of the story. There are multiple times throughout the film that characters reference the prologue's story, expanding on ideas or themes that didn't need to be fleshed out until later.
Knowing what to tell the audience and when is a clever trick to keep in mind when writing and editing. The audience will remember a broad idea more than a detailed moment that is within a larger, more detailed story.
Ask yourself, "Does the audience need to know this right now?"
There are so many great writing and filmmaking tips and tricks to learn from the entire Lord of the Rings series, but the prologue stands out as one of the best in modern cinema. It teaches us how to use the power of words and images to emphasize the feeling and tone of a world unknown to the audience.
Just like filmmaking, writing is a skill that will improve the more you practice. Remember this: it is okay to not tell the audience everything. Instead, be direct and clear in your goal while writing and editing a prologue. Tell the audience what is relevant now before diving deeper into the heart of the story.
Let us know in the comments if there is anything else that you took away from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring's prologue!

Education is the foundation of gender equality
Photo: Kuniko Inoguchi, political scientist and former Japanese Minister for Gender Equality and Social Affairs, addressing the High Level Reflection Group meeting in Paris in November 2019.
Women are in the periphery of most societies. And then if you have other problems – like if you are living with a disability, if you are disaster stricken, if you have bad access to education, for any number of reasons, then you are also in the periphery of your society. So, gender inequality is linked to many other problems, and half of the world's population is doubly impacted
Kuniko Inoguchi, scientist and former Japanese Minister for Gender Equality and Social Affairs
The universal occurrence of these unequal, intersectional experiences reflects the pressing need to not only unburden our societies of damaging patriarchal and paternalistic traditions, but also intervene in a comprehensive way that, according to Kuniko Inoguchi, begins with education.
Translating equal access to education into long-term equality of opportunity
"Development without education is not sustainable. It must start early. It must be equally available to boys and girls. And there must be persistent opportunities available to all generations to access quality education, including for those who have fallen out of the education system."
This means investing in early childhood education, through primary and higher education to post-doctoral education. It means ensuring access, and encouraging, older people to return to, complete, or even start their education if they wish. It also means targeting vulnerable children and citizens who have fallen out of the education system, including those who have dropped out or been explicitly deprived, like child soldiers, children subject to child labour, refugees, and the more than 11 million girls who may not return to school after COVID-19. This also links to ensuring the safety of girls in school and the safety of children in general, says Kuniko Inoguchi.
"To participate in education, children must be alive and well. Societies have a responsibility to ensure this, and to ensure that inequalities do not drive dangers experienced by children, whether that be traffic accidents or sexual harassment in school environments."
What we must also consider, says Kuniko Inoguchi, is that once we have safe and equal access to education, this does not automatically translate to equal access to the labour market.
For many women, accessing education doesn't inevitably lead to equal opportunities for employment. But you can't give up your equal opportunities to education. The time will come when girls will have better opportunities in society. We see it in societies across the world. Doors will open for more participation in leadership and management. And education is the foundation. Keep on studying. The curtain will rise, quite soon.
Kuniko Inoguchi
In addition, says Kuniko Inoguchi, education must be pursued so that women can access leadership and decision-making roles – roles which can, in turn, help advance gender equality. She speaks about her own experience:
"There is a direct link between girls' education and them later taking up leadership positions. For instance, after getting my degree, nobody wanted to hire women in Japan. But Sophia University decided to hire me as the first female assistant professor in political science. I then became the first female professor of political science at that university, then the first female dean of international relations, before I took up my position as a parliamentarian. I decided to become a parliamentarian because I wanted to secure democracy on the ground, and make sure that girls and women would have opportunities for generations to come."
Pandemic has highlighted patterns of vulnerability
These opportunities must be pursued and made available with specific inequalities – and vulnerabilities – kept in mind. In addition to school closures, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated and exposed a number of other vulnerabilities experienced by women and children. These vulnerabilities are cross-border issues, says Kuniko Inoguchi, and one of the most prevalent and damaging we have seen is the experience of domestic violence.
"Domestic violence can lead to lifelong trauma. During the pandemic, many people are trapped in their homes, under different stresses, and violence can ensue. Societies have a responsibility to prevent domestic violence, support victims, and ensure that children are never subjected to this. Leaders have a responsibility to speak out against it, especially in times of crisis."
According to Kuniko, investments must be made in community workers and employment protections, and support given to struggling parents. In addition, she says, UNESCO has a role here in speaking out against domestic violence.
Prioritising education, social progress and gender equality for sustainable development
COVID-19 has also highlighted female labour market precarity, as well as other concerning trends in discrimination and poverty. The pandemic, says Kuniko Inoguchi, cannot be allowed to kill the progress made in social development, gender equality and education.
In times of crisis, we cannot let discriminations grow. Cultural diversity must be celebrated. Gender equality must be sought. Education must be 100% inclusive.
UNESCO's work toward peace, based on an inclusive and transdisciplinary mandate, means it has an important role to play in this arena.
"Only with global peace will we be able to effectively reallocate resources to sustainable development, education, inclusion, diversity, climate change, cultural heritage, welfare, health coverage – all those important social necessities that, like women, have often been kept at the periphery. After COVID-19, countries need to reprioritise. UNESCO can be a leader in showing that children, women and sustainable development should be at the centre of this shift."
UNESCO is a "brand for peace" that inspires empathy and positive impact
Key strengths that UNESCO has to this end, says Kuniko Inoguchi, lie in its celebration of cultural diversity and its work on the science of climate change and oceans – having intercultural harmony and a stable planet are two vital requirements for peace, she says. Most importantly, these strengths lie in UNESCO's ability to inspire empathy in people around the world, and to engage them in our collective challenges.
"UNESCO is a brand for peace. It inspires understanding, better cognition, tolerance – it gives you the opportunity to imagine things you've never seen. It helps people understand what it is like to be, for example, a girl deprived of education. It taps into the treasure of the human mind, to help provide perspective and empathy. It helps us imagine the suffering of other people and motivates us to help and work with UNESCO for solutions."
Kuniko Inoguchi is a member of the Director General's High Level Reflection Group, an initiative of UNESCO's Strategic Transformation designed to anticipate and analyse global developments and contribute to the enrichment of UNESCO's next Medium-Term Strategy.

John Kavik
courtesy George Swinton fonds, Winnipeg Art Gallery
John Kavik was a sculptor and ceramicist from Uqsuqtuuq (Gjoa Haven), NU living in the area between Qamani'tuaq (Baker Lake), NU and Ikaluktutiak (Cambridge Bay), NU [1]. Kavik came to carving later in life, following his experience working in mines in Kangiqliniq (Rankin Inlet), NU.
A prominent theme in Kavik's work is the human figure, in particular his sculptures of mother and child. Kavik generally carved solitary, expressive figures and sparingly used deep grooves to denote mouths, kamiik (boots) and parkas. He frequently used small drill holes to create eyes and nostrils or the outlines of hands. Often his figures had a rough texture and were unpolished, however, figures such as Somersaulting Man: As I Think of Myself (1964) were exceptions to this stylistic preference [2]. Kavik also worked as a ceramicist, crafting thick pieces featuring motifs of people and animals emerging from the sides of the vessel in addition to clay figures that emulated his carving style.
Kavik has been featured multiple times in the Inuit Art Quarterly and has a rich exhibition history participating in numerous group and solo shows in Canada, the United States and Japan. In 1986, Kavik had his first solo exhibition titled Sculpture by John Kavik at Craft Ontario (formerly The Guild Shop) in Toronto, ON. His work is housed in major collections including the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, ON, the Vancouver Art Gallery in Vancouver, BC, and the Winnipeg Art Gallery in Winnipeg, MB.

St. Mary's Hosts Shoe Cutting Party
The St. Mary's students for social justice committee held a shoe cutting party on March 28 with a goal to cut and send 700 shoes to children in Uganda. Students and staff were encouraged to come down and help cut shoes out of old pairs of jeans to fashion shoes for the efforts, donations were also accepted for Sole Hope – an organization offering hope, healthier lives, and freedom from foot-related diseases through education, jobs and medical relief.
"We are so privileged to live in Canada, and I think a lot of the time we forget about the tragedies happening around the globe," said Sanna Khan, chair of the Students for Social Justice Committee at St. Mary's University. "This project is important as it reminds us to be thankful, because we are extremely lucky. Beyond that, the shoes from this project will help children and families in Uganda fight against foot borne diseases through education, jobs and medical relief."
At the beginning of the school year Sole Hope was suggested as an organization worth working with by one of Khan's social justice group members, the hands-on project was the perfect way to involve the St. Mary's community according to Khan.
"I can honestly say that I am so proud to see all of my fellow students come together for a good cause," said Khan. "Some students came to cut for hours on end to help the club get closer and closer to the goal. It really inspires a sense of community."
Nancy Quan, Director of Campus Ministry at St. Mary's considers it a privilege to work with students who take it upon themselves to be agents of change.
"The students at St. Mary's University are remarkable men and women," said Quan. "They are engaged and have genuine concern for the care of others. These students recognize the dignity of individuals as unique creations and respect differences. They are peacemakers driven to create change and I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to support them to do work that makes a difference in their lives and the lives of others."
To Quan, social justice initiatives such as the shoe cutting party for Sole Hope are integral part of the fabric at St. Mary's.
"Our vision at St. Mary's speaks of developing the whole person; mind, body and spirit. Our roots in the Catholic intellectual tradition call us to justice and peace-building," said Quan. "We are called to reach out to those on the margins and walk with them in solidarity. Our students answer the call to make our world a more just and equitable place."
"Service and justice are a cornerstone of the work that we do at St. Mary's."

Julius Erving, commonly referred to as Dr. J, made his mark in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the grace he displayed on and off the court and by playing an instrumental role in the creation of the league as it's known today. As the lone superstar of the ABA, the professional basketball league in direct competition with the more established NBA during the 1970s, his presence was a major factor in the decision to merge the two leagues. He is also credited with putting the slam in slam dunk and being one of the games great ambassadors who, along with superstars such as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, elevated the game's popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Although he was originally recognized for his flamboyant play and oversized afro, it was his reserved manner and generous spirit that endeared him to the public and his peers.
