Ketamine has many medical uses, such as for burn therapy, but is also used illicitly. Often called "Special K", Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic which is often abused for its physical and mental effects, including hallucinations.
As with many drugs, sometimes people become addicted through recreational use, and other times people form a dependency on medicine they're using to manage chronic pain. Some side effects of ketamine addiction include vomiting and nausea, slurred speech and difficulty concentrating, trouble breathing, acting aggressively, and an increased heart rate.
Like with many addictions and compulsions, one of the biggest clues a person may be addicted is thinking about their next hit. Often a person addicted to a drug will notice that their body becomes accustomed to the drug and it takes more of it to have the same effects. Another sign is that withdrawal symptoms set in if they've not had any.
Withdrawal can be different per person but ketamine detox can be challenging. In Florida there are many trained professionals who can help a person with therapy for their ketamine withdrawal. Some symptoms that a withdrawing person may experience include intense cravings, changes in vision, depression, an accelerated heartbeat, loss of coordination, and a loss of hearing.
The amount of time it takes to detox can vary depending on how long a person has been using. And once a person is in detox, using again can be incredibly dangerous because of changes in the body's tolerance. It is really important to undergo detox with the help of medical professionals.
If you suspect you are addicted to ketamine or any other drug, you should call an addiction treatment center. You can work with experienced professionals who can help you detox and form a plan for clean living afterward. Start on the path to ending your ketamine addiction today by sending us a message or calling us at 844-299-0618.

Tainy Announces New Album With 'Black Mirror'-Esque Video Featuring Bad Bunny, Julieta Venegas
The three artists team up for "Lo Siento BB:/"

The producer Tainy, who started making beats for major reggaeton acts as a teenager, has spent the last several years shaping the genre by crafting songs for everyone from J Balvin to Shawn Mendes. Now, he's moving from behind the scenes: He's getting ready to share his debut album, which will premiere later this year, and he's just offered the first preview of the project with "Lo Siento BB:/," an unexpected collaboration that features Bad Bunny and Julieta Venegas.
Some fans were surprised to see Venegas, whose indie rock helped define Latin alt-pop in the 2000s, on the track, but social media users were quick to point out that she's not new to reggaeton and hip hop collaborations, given that she's performed with people like Daddy Yankee and Ana Tijoux in the past. The song starts with her wistful vocals, which unfold over Tainy's tinselly, moody synths — sounds that have quickly become part of his signature. Bad Bunny dives in with his verse just as a pared-back reggaeton beat kicks in and takes the song to mopey, delightfully emo heights. He responds to Venegas' lyrics about starting a romance by telling her he's too disillusioned by love. (The title translates to "I'm Sorry BB:/.") The video, directed by Stillz, nods to Black Mirror and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.
Bad Bunny and Venegas are both gearing up for live shows soon: Venegas has a few tour dates planned for November, while Bad Bunny is launching his El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo tour in February after it got rescheduled due to Covid-19. Tainy, meanwhile, was just nominated for four Latin Grammys for his work on Bad Bunny's El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo, the J Balvin-led song "Agua," and the single "Dákiti."

I've written a bit about the show we produce for Stronger Families, a non-profit organization that advocates for healthy marriages and strong families. The show (Stronger Families LIVE with Jeff Kemp) does an outstanding job of picking the brains of marriage experts with a variety of special skills.
We worked hard to deliver a Pay-Per-View program that added a great deal of value to our viewers, but we wanted to further extend what we could offer people in need of this kind of content AND further increase revenue.
I just got a peek at the results of one of my favorite tips for increasing the revenue brought about by any Live Streaming Video production; that is, by creating an "available-for-sale" DVD.
By working with our DVD/CD manufacturing partner (Acutrack), Stronger Families took their Pay-Per-View episodes and packaged them into this retail-quality DVD seen on the right.
For the first four episodes we produced, they plan to create two DVDs—each with two episodes.
What's great about this is that the investment in the live event will be paying dividends to Stronger Families for years.
By adding a video-on-demand and DVD option, Stronger Families has tripled their income options for Stronger Families LIVE. Pretty nifty.
The key to increasing your revenue OR marketing value is to ensure you are recording your live streaming video production in such a manner as to allow for the reuse as either a high-quality video-on-demand offering or a DVD. This means that recording your live event as a FLASH video is not good enough. Be sure to record in a non-Flash format that is capable of being eventually rendered in a quality suitable for DVD.
As you can tell, I'm excited about all this. How about you? Are you considering producing a live streaming video production and adding a DVD component to the overall offering? Have you already done so? Let me know. . .I'd love to shine a flashlight on others with similar success (or concerns).

Every Goddamn Day: A Highly Selective, Definitely Opinionated, and Alternatingly Humorous and Heartbreaking Historical Tour of Chicago (Hardcover)
By Neil Steinberg
Backordered. There will likely be a delay in getting this book
A daily celebration of Chicago's history, both known and obscure, and always entertaining.
Every day in Chicago is a day to remember. In a city so rich with history, every day is the anniversary of some storied historical or cultural moment, whether it's the dedication of the Pablo Picasso sculpture downtown on August 15, or the arrest of Rod Blagojevich at his Ravenswood home on December 9, or a fire that possibly involved a cow on October 8.
In Every Goddamn Day, acerbic Chicago Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg takes the story of the city, pares away the dull, eat-your-peas parts, and provides 366 captivating daily readings in what makes Chicago Chicago and America America. It calls upon a wide cast of characters, from Oscar Wilde to Muhammad Ali, from Emma Goldman to Teddy Roosevelt, and from Richard M. Daley to Fred Hampton, to create a compelling narrative that can be read at a sitting or in a yearlong series of daily doses.
From New Year's Day to New Years' Eve, Steinberg takes us on a vivid and entertaining tour, illuminating the famous, obscure, tragic, and hilarious elements that make each day in Chicago memorable.
Neil Steinberg is a daily news columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, where he has been on staff since 1987. His books include Out of the Wreck I Rise and You Were Never in Chicago, both also published by the University of Chicago Press. His writing has also appeared in Esquire, Rolling Stone, Granta, the Washington Post, and the New York Times Sunday Magazine, among other publications.
History / United States / State & Local / Midwest (IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, SD, WI)
History / Essays
Social Science / Sociology / Urban
"Speaking of clever: the Sun-Times' Neil Steinberg retells the history of Chicago in "Every Goddamn Day" (Oct. 21), as in whatever famous this or that happened on every day in history, all 365 of them."
— Chicago Tribune
"[Steinberg] creates a moving, living picture of Chicago's past. . . . here is Chicago in hundreds of glittering facets, with stories of art, theater, industry, racism, injustice, and sheer goofiness. . . .Witty, economical and often whimsical, he lends color and freshness to each event."
— New City
"The breadth of [Steinberg's] interests and talents is on full display in his just-published book, Every Goddamn Day: A Highly Selective, Definitely Opinionated, and Alternatingly Humorous and Heartbreaking Historical Tour of Chicago. Each day on the calendar gets its own entry, and, almanac style, Steinberg chooses one event from that day in local history and tells a tale. What emerges is the patchwork quilt of our stunning, infuriating, delightful city stitched together by Steinberg's deft prose."

Two injured in knife attack in Paris close to former Charlie Hebdo offices
Two people were left injured in a knife attack in Paris on Friday outside the former offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. French anti-terror police have taken charge of the investigation.

The attack happened late on Friday morning on Rue Nicolas Appert, just off Boulevard Richard Lenoir in the 11th arrondissement, close to the former offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
The attack occurred as the trial was underway for the alleged accomplices of the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attack.
French anti-terror police have taken charge of the investigation.
One person, described by police as the "main author" of the attack was arrested in the Bastille area of the city and no other suspects were being sought. The suspect was known to police and had a criminal past, according to reports.
A second person was later arrested in connection with the attack in the same area. It was not immediately clear why the second suspect was held.
It was initially reported that four people had been injured, two seriously, but police later corrected this information and said only two people – a man and a woman – had sustained injuries. Their condition was reported as serious but not life-threatening.
The two injured, a man and a woman worked for a documentary production company named Premieres Lignes.
They were smoking in the street outside their office, which was also once home to the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo when the attacker approached and assaulted them with a blade, prosecutors said.
Luc Hermann from Premieres Lignes told BFM TV that staff were left traumatised by the "extremely violent" attack. He said the company had not previously been subject to any kind of threat.
A reported suspicious package found near the scene was also examined but proved not to be sinister.
Two of the injured were reported as being in a serious condition. Photo: AFP
The public were told to avoid the area which was the scene of a huge police presence.

The magazine's office was the scene of a terror attack in 2015 in which 12 people were killed by Islamic extremists.
The attack happened on Rue Nicolas Appert, which is the site of a memorial to the murdered journalists and cartoonists. Photo: AFP
The stabbing came as a trial was underway in the capital for alleged accomplices of the authors of the January 2015 attack on Charlie Hebdo.
Twelve people, including some of France's most celebrated cartoonists, were killed in the attack by brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi and claimed by a branch of Al Qaeda.
A female police officer was killed a day later, followed the next day by the killing of four men in a hostage-taking at a Jewish supermarket by gunman Amedy Coulibaly.
The 14 defendants stand accused of having aided and abetted the perpetrators of the 2015 attacks, who were themselves killed in the wake of the massacres.
The magazine, defiant as ever, had marked the start of the trial by republishing hugely controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that had angered Muslims around the world.
Al-Qaeda then threatened Charlie Hebdo with a repeat of the 2015 massacre of its staff.
The trial in Paris had resumed Friday after a suspect's coronavirus test came back negative.
The hearing for the fourteen suspects, which opened on September 2, was postponed Thursday after Nezar Mickael Pastor Alwatik fell ill in the stand.
His lawyer Marie Dose said her client had suffered from "a lot of fever, coughing, vomiting and headaches".
He was back in the box on Friday, after the presiding judge informed defence and prosecution lawyers by SMS late Thursday that the test results allowed for the trial to go ahead.

French court orders partial release for convicted Corsican nationalist
UPDATE: How Tuesday's pension strike will impact Paris
A French court on Tuesday ordered the partial release of a Corsican nationalist who has served 24 years in jail for the 1998 murder of a top French official.
Under the ruling, Pierre Alessandri will be allowed out of jail to work for a landscaping company in the daytime and will be granted a full conditional release in a year if he behaves well.
The relaxation of Alessandri's conditions of detention came amid tensions between the Mediterranean island's pro-autonomy leaders and the French state, after a fellow Corsican detained in the same case was killed in a French prison in March.
Alessandri and a third Corsican detainee were transferred from mainland France to a jail in Corsica in April after the murder of Yvan Colonna.
The Paris appeals court granted Alessandri "a probationary partial release" of 12 months from February 13, the prosecutor-general Remy Heitz said.
If he behaves well, he would then be granted "conditional release" for another ten years, he said.
Alessandri's lawyer Eric Barbolosi hailed the ruling as a "great relief".
"For the first time in a court of appeals, the magistrates made a decision based on the criteria necessary for a conditional release, not the particular nature of the case," he said.
Alessandri had served enough time to be eligible for such a release by 2017, and had already petitioned to be freed three times.
But national anti-terror prosecutors objected, and an appeals court barred his release.
The country's highest court then quashed one of these decisions, ordering the Paris appeals court to re-examine it.
Colonna, a former goat herder, was announced dead on March 21 after an Islamist extremist who accused him of blasphemy strangled and suffocated him in a prison in the southern town of Arles in mainland France.
He was detained in 2003 after four years on the run, and sentenced in 2007, and then again in 2011, to life in jail over the killing in 1998 of the French government prefect of Corsica, Claude Erignac.
The killing was the most shocking of a series of attacks by pro-independence militant group FLNC.
Alessandri and another nationalist, Alain Ferrandi, had already been sentenced to life in jail in 2003 over the murder.
Ferrandi, who was transferred to the same Corsican jail, has also requested to be released on parole, and a decision is due on February 23rd.
Colonna's murder sparked violent protests in Corsica.
It galvanised the nationalist movement and led President Emmanuel Macron's government to offer talks about giving greater political autonomy to the territory.

The Skills Training Manual for Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy: A Clinician's Guide for Treating Disorders of Overcontrol (Paperback)
By Thomas R. Lynch
Radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is a groundbreaking, transdiagnostic treatment model for clients with difficult-to-treat overcontrol (OC) disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Written by the founder of RO DBT, Thomas Lynch, this is the first and only session-by-session training manual to help you implement this evidence-based therapy in your practice.
As a clinician, you're familiar with dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and its success in treating clients with emotion dysregulation disorders. But what about clients with overcontrol disorders? OC has been linked to social isolation, aloof and distant relationships, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion, a strong need for structure, inhibited emotional expression, and hyper-perfectionism. And yet--perhaps due to the high value our society places on the capacity to delay gratification and inhibit public displays of destructive emotions and impulses--problems linked with OC have received little attention or been misunderstood. Indeed, people with OC are often considered highly successful by others, even as they suffer silently and alone.
RO DBT is based on the premise that psychological well-being involves the confluence of three factors: receptivity, flexibility, and social-connectedness. RO DBT addresses each of these important factors, and is the first treatment in the world to prioritize social-signaling as the primary mechanism of change based on a transdiagnostic, neuroregulatory model linking the communicative function of human emotions to the establishment of social connectedness and well-being. As such, RO DBT is an invaluable resource for treating an array of disorders that center around overcontrol and a lack of social connectedness--such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, postpartum depression, treatment-resistant anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, as well as personality disorders such as avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality disorder.
In this training manual, you'll find an outline of RO DBT, including history, research, and how it differs from traditional DBT. You'll also find a session-by-session RO DBT outpatient treatment protocol, with sections that outline the weekly, one-hour individual therapy sessions and weekly two-and-a-half hour skills training classes that occur over a period of approximately thirty weeks. This includes instructor guidelines and user-friendly worksheets.
The feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of RO DBT is evidence-based and informed by over twenty years of translational treatment development research. This important manual--along with its companion book, Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (available separately), distills the essential components of RO DBT into a workable program you can start using right away to improve treatment outcomes for clients suffering with OC.
Thomas R. Lynch, PhD, FBPsS, is professor emeritus of clinical psychology at the University of Southampton school of psychology. Previously, he was director of the Duke Cognitive-Behavioral Research and Treatment Program at Duke University from 1998-2007. He relocated to Exeter University in the UK in 2007. Lynch's primary research interests include understanding and developing novel treatments for mood and personality disorders using a translational line of inquiry that combines basic neurobiobehavioral science with the most recent technological advances in intervention research. He is founder of radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT). Lynch has received numerous awards and special recognitions from organizations such as the National Institutes of Health-US (NIMH, NIDA), Medical Research Council-UK (MRC-EME), and the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD). His research has been recognized in the Science and Advances Section of the National Institutes of Health Congressional Justification Report; and he is a recipient of the John M. Rhoades Psychotherapy Research Endowment, and a Beck Institute Scholar.

Governor Eric Greitens laid out his legislative agenda in the State of the State speech last night.
Ethics – I also call on this legislature to put on the ballot, term limits for every statewide officeholder. I know that the people of Missouri will vote for term limits, and people are counting on us to put an end to politics as a lifelong profession.
Labor Agenda – [W]e must join 27 other states and sign Right to Work. That's why we must do away with expensive Project Labor Agreements that drive up the costs of construction and slow down important projects in our communities. We must repeal our state's version of the Davis-Bacon act (prevailing wage), which drives up the cost of important construction work that needs to get done….
Tort Reform – There are some common sense changes we can make to fix this. We need to move to the Daubert standard for expert witness testimony… We need to change our joinder and venue rules to end these out of state lawsuits. And we must end frivolous lawsuits by reforming the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act.
Tax Credits - [W]ith a team of outsiders and legislators, we are going to do a thorough, end-to-end audit of our tax credit system—and create a tax code that works not to benefit privileged insiders, but instead is fair to all.
Welfare Reform - We need to build a system based on [the simple principle:] It should always, always, always pay more to work in the state of Missouri.
Crime: I want to establish a Blue Alert system, so that we can find and bring swift justice to anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer.
Additional funds for public defenders? - As a constitutional conservative, I believe, as you do, that the constitution applies to every citizen. I believe in the 6th Amendment, which guarantees the right to a fair trial and adequate legal representation for all.
Reducing Recidivism – [W]e need to engage groups from across society: most importantly our faith community… I will welcome our churches and our synagogues into our corrections facilities.
technology to get the education they need… I will work with you to implement Education Savings Accounts for children with special needs….
Some of these are slam dunks – the "Blue Alert" for example. Others aren't gimmes, but I'd be shocked if they didn't pass – things like right to work, and some of the tort reform measures. Many are still completely vague. Regulatory reform and welfare reform will be to be fleshed out; the sound bites can quickly turn sour if they're done incorrectly.
Meanwhile the tax credit reform and education reform will be most difficult. That's where there could be very obvious losers depending on the details of what's proposed. And that's two groups that understand how to work the building.
This was in the part where Governor Greitens was talking about reducing the state employee headcount and then being able to pay the valued employees more.
More than ever it makes me want to know the source of the millions of anonymous dollars that propelled Greitens into the governor's mansion.
If you're going to "focus" government on doing fewer things, you're not going to leave those things undone. You're going to privatize them, right?
The New York Times ran series of articles last year about private equity firms using political clout in state capitals to help their business interests. In this article, they report on private equity firms taking over ambulance services or fire protection.
Press release: State Rep. Justin Alferman and his colleagues in the Missouri House of Representatives are again working to ban gifts and meals provided by lobbyists to elected officials. The House took action Tuesday to approve Alferman's legislation, HB 60, and make it the first bill sent to the Senate this session. The measure was approved by a bipartisan vote of 149-5.
With Rich Germinder leaving Sen. Dan Hegeman's staff to serve in the Greitens administration, Drew Dampf will shuffle over and take Germinder's spot for Hegeman.
Post-Dispatch reports on a case at that "could prove to be a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case over whether state money can be used to aid religious institutions…" See it here.
Pull Quote: The court's eventual decision could call into question the constitutionality of "Blaine Amendments" in 38 states across the country, which religious organizations have long deemed unfair but proponents say are necessary for the separation of church and state….
Koster's Republican successor, newly minted Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley, has said Koster was wrong to defend the case because Blaine Amendments punish people of faith.
Hawley has recused himself from the case, citing private practice work with the plaintiffs. First Assistant Attorney General John Sauer will be serving as active attorney general for the purpose of this litigation, according to a spokesman for Hawley. The court has not yet set a date for oral arguments….
Rep. Holly Rehder continues her quest to get the prescription drug monitoring program across the finish line. See it here.
Presidential Press Secretary and Kansas City native Josh Earnest got a surprise tribute from the boss… See it here.
Phillip Scaglia added Senworth; and deleted Mammoth Inc.
Richard Crews added Gallagher Consultants Inc.
Sam Licklider added Missouri Association of Cosmetology Schools.
Jeffrey Brooks deleted Coalition for Lifesaving Cures, and Ticketnetwork.

S-Docs 2020 Year In Review
At the risk of using the most cliché word of the year, we'll say it: 2020 was unprecedented. Change was on everyone's docket on January 1st, but nobody foresaw the events that would upend the world in a matter of months.
For S-Docs, the pandemic meant office shutdowns, video calls, and lots of virtual team lunches. Yet despite the challenges of the year, 2020 saw us helping more customers streamline their Salesforce document and e-signature workflows than ever before. The year was packed with new product innovations, UI upgrades, record-breaking growth, and giving back to the community.
As the year draws to a close, we're reflecting on S-Docs's leading highlights for 2020. Let's see how our product's strength and our team's resilience enabled us to support our customers through adversity and continue giving back to the amazing Trailblazer community surrounding us.
A Record-Breaking Year (In More Ways Than One)
Above all else, S-Docs is committed to trust, transparency, and first-rate security. Although the pandemic has turned the idea of long-term planning upside down, S-Docs was able to drive growth and support our customers this year through our unwavering commitment to our values. We are thrilled to report that we were able to shatter growth records every quarter, meaning that 2020 is our most successful year to date. This is a testament to our customers' trust in the security, speed, and ease of use of our 100% native solutions.
As the pandemic has shown, broken records aren't always a good thing. This year has also seen record high numbers of unemployment, virus cases, and businesses struggling to convert to remote work. That's why S-Docs has also taken 2020 to ensure that our resources are helping wherever they can.
For one, our document generation and e-signature solutions are built to facilitate working from anywhere. These vital functions have helped our customers maintain "business as usual" throughout the turbulent year. Additionally, our many partners in the healthcare industry have made use of S-Docs for safe contactless document processing.
S-Docs is also committed to the health and safety of every employee. That's why we implemented a wellness program that ensures the team is equipped with the necessary resources to stay active and maintain optimum health while working from home.
Finally, we've also pledged to match employee donations to nonprofit organizations throughout the world in an effort to give back to the community, both during this trying year and in years to come.
Welcoming New Customers and Partners
From continuous product improvement to giving back through the Pledge 1% program, none of our successes in 2020 would have been possible without our incredible customers. We had the opportunity to partner with new organizations in industries across the board this year, and saw massive developments in the government, healthcare, and financial service industries. Our native Salesforce architecture makes us a trusted solution for businesses that value data security highly, since S-Docs never sends data outside of the Salesforce cloud.
As we onboarded new customers, we also saw many existing S-Docs users expand their accounts as the ROI that document automation and e-signature achieved spoke for itself. S-Docs is able to create and e-sign any type of business document you can think of, meaning that multiple departments across an organization can benefit from its abilities.
In addition, we brought on several new partners this year, allowing us to expand our resources and help even more businesses with their Salesforce document and e-signature needs.
Introducing New Product Innovations
As we continue to grow, our products continue to get better and better. Our product teams were hard at work this year on optimizations, improvements, and new functionality aimed at satisfying our customers' current needs and adapting to their unmet and emerging challenges.
You can read a full list of changes in our quarterly release notes, but here are a few of our favorite updates:
Revamped User Interface: We dove into the UI of our template editor and gave it a fresh coat of paint, making it easier to use while preserving the workflows that customers are used to. Take a look at more details in this blog post!
Drag & Drop: You can now upload any PDF to the S-Docs template editor and drag & drop merge fields and signature tags onto the document. This adds even more flexibility to the template-building experience.
Heightened Security: Security is our top priority at S-Docs. We put our application through rigorous testing to ensure it's always employing first-rate data security standards on top of its secure native architecture. This has resulted in improved app functionality and continues to differentiate S-Docs as the most secure solution for document generation & e-signature for Salesforce.
These are just a few of the exciting updates from 2020, and we're not losing steam now. There's plenty more to come in 2021, including further UI enhancements and lots of great new features, so stay tuned!
Growing Our Team & Getting Involved In The Community
Ensuring the success of our customers is only possible with a strong team of passionate individuals who champion our values. That's why we expanded nearly every department around the globe with talented individuals committed to perfecting our product offerings and continually improving the customer experience.
Although it wasn't the year for in-person events, we still found ways to get involved in the Salesforce Trailblazer community. We started the year by collecting the expert advice of Salesforce MVPs and publishing their tips for the community on Salesforce best practices, productivity, and career growth. We also hosted several lunch & learns aimed at educating businesses on how to navigate remote work and get connected to the right solutions to help with business continuity.
As a proud member of the Pledge 1% program, we also sought to help and give back to the community wherever we could. Along with matching employee donations to nonprofit organizations, S-Docs organized a toy drive this holiday season to help families in need. We look forward to continuously doing our part as we move into the new year.

Environmentalist Vandana Shiva argues that there are no detailed protocols that cover all dimensions of the ecological, health, and socio-economic impact of GM organisms (2) and that it was precisely to evolve such protocols and strengthen India's Bio-safety regulatory process that the Supreme Court appointed a Technical Expert Committee (TEC). The Committee recommended a ten-year moratorium on GM organism approvals till scientifically robust protocols, independent and competent institutions to assess risks and a strong regulatory system were developed.
Despite the TEC recommendations pertaining to risks, protocols and regulations, the trials will involve a deliberate release of GM organisms in the open environment. A ban on open field trials would however not constitute a block to research because, as Vandana Shiva says, scientific research is done in laboratories and greenhouses and open field trials are not in any case a methodology for assessing toxicity or carcinogenicity.
Last November, hundreds of scientists raised serious concerns about open air field trials of GM crops in India by writing a letter to the Prime Minister. Their letter coincided with the release of a compilation of 440 scientific research studies on the impact of GM crops on the environment and health (3). The scientists demanded that the recommendations of the TEC be accepted. In their letter, they said that the final report of the TEC has recommended against the deployment of Bt food crops in India until their safety is established, and recommended avoiding Herbicide Tolerant GM crops.
Like Shiva, the scientists are not saying that trials have to be stopped, as trials can happen in a glasshouse environment. However, they warned against open field trials as the impact of such food crops must be established. As there is no code of practice and no infrastructure to conduct large scale open field trials, the scientists suggested that open field trials should not take place.
Open field planting and the release of GM organisms into the environment are part of a deliberate ploy to contaminate non-GM crops and eventually render the GM/non-GM debate obsolete. This is not a wild claim: one only has to look at the widespread contamination of wheat and rice in the US due to hundreds of open field trials carried out by the biotech sector and similar concerns about contamination in India (4).
And, in this respect, current developments in Australia are further cause for concern.
A recent report (5) that appeared in The Australian newspaper notes that most Australian farmers grow GM-free food. The current non-binding recommendation guidelines for managing GM canola cultivation in Western Australia are very weak and only recommend a minimum of five-metre separation between a GM and non-GM canola field. Such a small buffer zone cannot prevent GM contamination.
A landmark trial is now under way in the Western Australia Supreme Court. It began when farmer Steve Marsh lost his organic certification on 70 percent of his farm and most of his livelihood after his land was contaminated by GM canola patented by Monsanto and grown in the adjacent property.
This is a global issue, and GM industry 'corporate moles' who are forwarding the GM biotech agenda are not unique to India (6,7). However, it is reasonable to assume that India remains more susceptible than most, not least because the story of open air trials of GM crops in India has thus far been a story of blatant violations of bio-safety norms, hasty approvals, a lack of monitoring abilities, general apathy towards the hazards of contamination and a lack of institutional oversight mechanisms (8,9,10). Similar concerns exist elsewhere, of course, but the situation in India appears to be worse than most.
Open field testing is part of the GM sector's plan to win the battle to dominate and control the food chain by any means possible. It cannot win the scientific debate (9). It cannot convince people to freely choose its products (10). But it seeks to win by various insidious means, not least by infiltrating official bodies and contamination – by all means necessary (11).

George Takei presented with GLAAD award for promoting LGBT equality
NEW YORK -- Actor and LGBT rights activist George Takei was presented with the Vito Russo award at the 25th annual GLAAD Media Awards ceremony in New York on Saturday night.

NEW YORK — Actor and LGBT rights activist George Takei received the Vito Russo award at the 25th annual GLAAD Media Awards ceremony in New York on Saturday night.
The award is presented to an openly gay media professional for promoting equality for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, and is named after one of GLAAD's co-founders and the author of "The Celluloid Closet."
"As long as LGBT people can be fired from their job for simply being who they are, our work isn't done yet," Takei said, in accepting the award.
"As long as young people are kicked out of their families just for being who they are, our work is not done yet. As long as people are be bullied into feeling that their lives are so hopeless that they are driven to self-destructive acts, our work is not done," he said.
In other awards, the Netflix series, "Orange Is the New Black," set in a women's prison, was named outstanding comedy series by GLAAD.
Cast members – including Laverne Cox, who won her own GLAAD honor at the organization's Los Angeles awards ceremony last month – accepted the award Saturday at the Waldorf Astoria hotel.
Also capturing GLAAD awards at Saturday's event included the films "Concussion" and "Philomena" and Oprah Winfrey's interview with openly gay professional basketball player Jason Collins.
The GLAAD Media Awards recognize fair, accurate and inclusive representation in media of the LGBT community and the issues that affect their lives.

The senior judicial official for the huge metropolis of Chongqing in Southwestern China was executed by lethal injection during the first week of July, 2010. Wen Qiang's indictment, arrest, trial, sentencing and now execution this Spring and early Summer exploded into the public consciousness and media, opening up the dirty underbelly of China's corruption-plagued legal system. Wen was convicted of multiple rapes, protecting underworld gangs & mobsters, bribery and had large unexplained amounts of cash and luxury villas. He was emblematic and symptomatic of big political bosses in the Judiciary and the CCP on the take. His sister-in-law, Xie Caiping, known in Chongqing as "The godmother of organized crime in Chongqing," was sentenced to 18 years for running illegal casinos.
The Chinese courts are controlled by the Communist Party, and the massive corruption in the judicial system reflects directly upon the Party. With the credibility of the Party at stake, Chongqing's massive anti-corruption crackdown has been led by an ambitious local party chief, Bo Xilai, who initiated a crackdown in Chongqing, arresting several other top judges for graft, including Huang Songyou, formerly vice president of the country's highest court, The Supreme People's Court (earlier this year, Huang received a life sentence for bribery and embezzlement).
The Chongqing anti-corruption crackdown has not only resulted in the execution of Wen Qiang, the former Director of the Chongqing Justice Bureau, but also to the prosecution of 90 other local officials. Of that number, interestingly, 42 were found guilty of sheltering mafia-like criminal gangs just like their big boss, Mr. Wen Qiang.
An intense, sustained anti-corruption effort over a generation or two (perhaps more) will be required for China to significantly curtail its endemic and systemic corruption problems. It remains to be seen whether the Wen Qiang execution will mark the beginning of that quest or whether it is eyewash.

From October 2nd 2017, the digital letters service has been rolled out to certain outpatients clinics within the hospital. Patients who have a mobile phone number registered with the hospital, will be offered their letter digitally. If the digital letter is not accessed within 24 hours or no mobile number is held with the hospital, then a postal letter is automatically sent and the digital letter is deleted.
Not only can patients view all their appointment details on their smartphone, tablet and computer, they can cancel or confirm the appointment in 1 click. This can then be added directly into the patient's digital calendar as a further reminder prompt.
The patient portal is highly secure, accessed by a unique link and 4-digit PIN. As well as the appointment date and time, the letter also includes pre-assessment instructions, essential reading and hospital information as attachments.
Healthcare Communications created the patient portal to fill the efficiency gap in NHS postal letter costs. Mike Cunningham, the MD of the company said, "To see the daily uptake and readiness of patients to communicate this way is so exciting for the digital future of the NHS.
The same procedure should be followed as if a patient has not brought their physical letter to an appointment. Turn up at the hospital and book in on the self-check machines using your DOB.
A: If you do not access your letter on your mobile phone for whatever reason within 24 hours of receiving your text link, the system sends you a postal letter, which you should expect to receive within 2 days.


Wowza. It's the week after Thanksgiving and I have yet to recover. How are all of you faring with the adjustment? Yea, I thought so.
Good heavens. You would think they would warn you about this holiday…maybe even advise us to purchase adjustable pet doors and collars? I can barely breathe OR escape out the door anymore!! Poor Boss Man, he has no idea that my lethargy is due to his delicious dinner and leftovers…after all, I had to be stealth in my nutritional acquisitions (can you believe he ONLY planned to serve me Fancy Feast?!). Thank goodness for football!! When the humans got really into the rudimentary sport, I just hopped up on the counter and feasted like a king.
Now I see why they're all so fat. Never again, I say…never again.

Q: Measuring qubit as the presence or absence of a particle My background is not physics so forgive the confusion.
If we use photon polarization as qubits, I can understand that the angle is in a superposition between 0 and 90 degrees.
But we can also use the presence or absence of the photon itself as the two orthogonal states of a qubit. What sense does it make for that qubit to be in a superposition?

New greenhouse at Hawthorne school
Call it the rite of Spring as a bee buzzed around outside a new greenhouse at St. Anthony School in Hawthorne with the students considering it a sign that spring has finally arrived. This past weekend at a ribbon cutting ceremony, the school's new greenhouse, located between St. Anthony Church and the convent, officially debuted. The greenhouse will enhance — or in gardening terms, cultivate — a new learning experience for the school's STEM program
Annual Acies of the Legion of Mary
Bishop Serratelli presided at the annual Acies of the Legion of Mary March 24 at Ss. Cyril and Methodius Church here, with members of the Legion of Mary from all across the Diocese and beyond in attendance.

Victims' compensation program
Preparations are moving forward for the special program commissioned by the five Catholic Dioceses in New Jersey that will compensate eligible victims who were sexually abused as minors by clergy. In the months since the Independent Victims' Compensation Program was announced by the New Jersey bishops, the program's Administrators have set up a dedicated website (NJDiocesesIVCP.com), posted a draft protocol delineating how the program will operate and opened a month-long comment period, which is currently in progress.
'Being a Man for Others'
It seems rooted in their nature that men spend their energies striving to be "men of action" — focused on "getting things done" in their daily quest to achieve higher and higher levels of success in their professional and personal lives. Yet this Lent, the rector of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Paterson, is urging Catholic men to think about being less concerned with what they do in life and more concerned with what they become — men, who sacrifice for others in their mission to participate in God's redemption of the world.
Cause for sainthood
U.S. Merchant Marine Capt. Leonard LaRue peered through his binoculars on Dec. 23, 1950 and surveyed a heartbreaking scene from the deck of his ship. Thousands of Koreans — men, women and children — their eyes filled with fear — were crammed onto the docks of the City of Hungnam, desperate to flee the invading Chinese communist forces that were closing in quickly during the early months of the Korean War.
Equality Act: more harm than good
On the surface, the Equality Act, which was reintroduced in Congress this month and would add anti-discrimination protections for sexual orientation and gender identity to existing protections for race, color, national origin, sex, disability and religion, seems innocuous enough to many Americans. However, in a letter to members of the U.S. Senate, three bishops warned that while the proposed Equality Act purports to address issues of discrimination, it would actually create new problems and threaten fundamental freedoms.
Bishop leads Lenten presentation
Parishioners of St. Therese in Succasunna welcomed Bishop Serratelli, who led a Lenten presentation at the parish on "The Divine Presence in the Holy Eucharist" March 12. About 50 people attended the reflection. Afterward, Bishop Serratelli greeted parishioners at a reception that followed his presentation.
New pastor at Chatham parish
Bishop Serratelli made a pastoral visit on Sunday, March 17 to Corpus Christi Parish in Chatham Township where he celebrated Mass for the Second Sunday of Lent. During the Mass, the Bishop officially installed Father T. Kevin Corcoran as Corpus Christi's new pastor.
Spreading the message of the Gospel
St. Lawrence the Martyr Parish in Chester has taken a big step in the past year to help its community of believers grow in spirituality toward a closer relationship with Christ and each other with help from a national initiative. The initiative takes its cue from Jesus' personal style of ministry — calling together a small group of Twelve Apostles in "missionary friendship" to form them and ultimately to challenge them to spread the Gospel to the world.
Bishop visits Paterson parish
Bishop Serratelli made a pastoral visit to St. Bonaventure Church in Paterson and celebrated Mass for the First Sunday of Lent March 10.
Pastoral visit to Andover parish
Bishop Serratelli made a pastoral visit to Good Shepherd Church in Andover where he celebrated the vigil Mass for the Second Sunday in Lent on March 16.
'Reverse caravan'
Last fall, a caravan of thousands of migrants from Central America heading to the Mexican border with the United States, made headlines in the United States bringing up conversations from both sides of the political spectrum about immigration reform, the border wall and homeland security. Looking beyond the politics to directly meeting with the people affected, Sister Janice Jolin, a Missionary Sister of the Immaculate Conception (SMIC) living here, joined 75 faith leaders on March 18 on a 'reverse caravan' to Honduras to discuss the plight of so many around the world who flee homelands riddled by violence, political corruption and other human rights offenses.
'Discovering your call'
Afua Agyekum and Joseph Korab, both sophomores at diocesan Catholic high schools, took time from their studies last week to "dream big" about their future plans — she as a pediatrician and he as a Catholic priest. On March 13, Agyekum, 15, of Pope John XXIII Regional High School, Sparta, and Korab, 16, of Morris Catholic High School, Denville, along with 24 fellow students at their high schools, got to think more about that big question — "What do I want to do with the rest of my life?" — during the "Discovering Your Call" vocations-awareness event at Mallinckrodt Convent in Mendham.
R for recommended
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) recently gave the movie, "Unplanned," which will open in theaters March 29, an R-rating. According to the MPAA, "an R-rated film may depict adult activity, hard language, intense graphic or persistent violence, sexually oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements. Parents are counseled to take this rating very seriously. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated films unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian."
'Treasures of the Church'
Like many of the more than 400 Catholics, who traveled to St. Cecilia Church in Rockaway on the evening of March 7, Amy Welsch, a faith-filled married mother of six, came with a mission: to find a saint to become her new spiritual companion. A parishioner of St. Cecilia's, she was looking for some help through a tough time — her 17-year-old daughter, Alexis, recently had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.
Pastor is grand marshal
'Twas a grand day for Notre Dame of Mount Carmel Parish as parishioners marched through the streets of Morristown on March 9 in the 40th annual Morris County St. Patrick's Day Parade, in which their pastor, Father Paddy O'Donovan, was honored as the parade's grand marshal.
Bishop Serratelli celebrated Mass in the chapel of St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Paterson on Ash Wednesday morning, March 6, where he distributed ashes to employees of the hospital to begin the holy season of Lent. Following Mass, he visited patients at the hospital in their rooms and distributed ashes to them, blessed them and prayed with them.
Pastoral visit to Long Valley parish
Parishioners of St. Mark the Evangelist in Long Valley welcomed Bishop Serratelli, who made a pastoral visit to the parish March 9. There, he celebrated the vigil Mass for the First Sunday of Lent. During the Mass he also administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to the young people of the parish, who had been preparing for the last two years to be confirmed.

Today, 11:16 CC chairman says he does not comment political statements
With new amendment USA not allowed to provide defense articles to Azerbaijan that could be used to shoot down civilian aircraft operating out of Stepanakert Airport
The House adopted the measure with a bipartisan vote of 234 to 195.
Tusk's unbalanced statements must give Armenian authorities food for thought: expert
"The most worrying part is that during the meeting with Ilham Aliyev in Baku the Council of Europe president stressed that the EU supports Azerbaijan's territorial integrity while in Yerevan he did not stress the significance of the right of people to self-determination and just cited the Helsinki final act," Anna Karapetyan stated.

If we look at things superficially, we will of course say that the so-called Arab spring did not achieve anything. We will surely say that the situation is catastrophic.
Indeed, we have a tendency to focus on turmoil in the region while we overlook and forget the important historical developments. It is true that there are a plethora of reasons for pessimism in the short and perhaps even medium term in the countries of the so-called Arab Spring. We cannot deny that a number of Arab countries are witnessing internal conflicts and civil wars and that some countries have seen counter-revolutions. But revolutions achieved important things.
The span of time separating the beginning of the so-called Arab Spring from our present is too short in the life of a revolution or in the life of revolutions.
Let me start by saying that young people have triggered the majority of these revolutions. These same young people need time to change things. They have just started working on the transformation in the region. Nevertheless, these revolutions have at least succeeded in breaking the fear barriers. People of the so-called Arab Spring do not fear to express their opinions anymore. They are defying dictatorship and autocracies despite the oppression. They have rejected once and for all the emergence of royal dynasties within the Arab republics and denounced their corruption, nepotism and so on. Moreover, they put an end to the age of presidents-for-life as well as to the absence of political accountability.
The span of time separating the beginning of the so-called Arab Spring from our present is too short in the life of a revolution or in the life of revolutions. History is overflowing with examples of revolutions that needed centuries to achieve their goals. So what has been achieved is not small and the people of the so-called Arab Spring should persevere and keep on fighting to fulfil the objectives of their revolutions.
