A Szphinx, magyarosan Szfinx (görögül Σφινξ, azaz "fojtogató") oroszlántestű, emberfejű, szárnyas mitikus lény. Eredete az ókori Egyiptomra nyúlik vissza, ahol oroszlántestű, madár-, kos- vagy emberfejű lény. A név származásának egyik magyarázata szerint a Seszep-ankh (en-Hafré) kifejezés, amely Kephrén fáraó élő képmását jelenti.

A görög Szphinx

A görög mitológiában a Szphinx szárnyas oroszlán, női fejjel azzal tartotta rettegésben Thébai városát, hogy aki nem tudott felelni a kérdésére, azt kegyetlenül megfojtotta. Tüphón, a százfejű óriás, és a félig kígyó, félig ember Ekhidna gyermeke. Testvérei Kerberosz (a háromfejű kutya, a Sztüx őre, latin Cerberus), Hüdra, nemeai oroszlán, és Khimaira.

Híres vendégszereplése Oidipusz tragikus történetéhez köthető, mivel a Szphinx Thébai városa mellett, a Szphingia nevű hegyen élt. A monda szerint a hős Oidipusznak sikerült kitalálnia , hogy mi is a megfejtés.
A feladvány így hangzott: Reggel négy lábon, délben két lábon, este pedig három lábon jár.

A megfejtés az ember. Oidipusz rájött, hogy a napszakok az ember életszakaszait szimbolizálják. A 'reggel' a csecsemőkort jelenti, amikor az ember még négykézláb mászik, a 'dél' az élet középső szakaszát, amikor két lábon jár, az 'alkony' pedig az öregkort, amikor már botra támaszkodik.
A Szphinx a helyes válasz hallatán elpusztult.

A gízai Szfinx

A leghíresebb szfinxábrázolás az egyiptomi Gízában található emberfejű Szfinx-szobor.

Eredete
Eredetéről két elmélet létezik. Az elfogadottabb szerint Hafré, a IV. dinasztia fáraója építtette az i. e. 25. században. Ezt többek között azzal bizonyítják, hogy a Szfinx arca a megszólalásig hasonlít Hafré más ábrázolásokon látható arcához. Önmagában ez gyenge érv, mivel az óegyiptomi emberábrázolások sok esetben nagyon hasonlítanak egymásra. A másik bizonyíték az a forrás, amelyet Hafré írnokai jegyeztek le a fáraó piramisának (a három gízai piramis közül a második legnagyobbnak, Hufu (görögül Kheopsz) fáraóé után) építéséről. Ebben leírják hogy a "fenséges fáraó" hogy építtette a Szfinxet, hogy az őrizze a piramisát.

A másik elmélet zavarosabb és sokkal kevesebb elfogadható bizonyítékunk van rá, hívei szerint azonban ezek nehezen cáfolhatók. Eszerint a Szfinx már több, mint tizenkétezer éves, vagyis nagyjából kétszer olyan idős, mint az egyiptomi civilizáció. Ezt azzal bizonyítják, hogy a Szfinx felszínén olyan eróziós nyomokat találtak, amelyeket erős és gyakori esőzés okoz. Márpedig ilyen legutóbb tizenkétezer éve volt Egyiptomban. Ezen elmélet hívei az előző elméletet azzal is cáfolják, hogy több forrás van arról, hogy Hafré csupán kiásatta a homokba süllyedt Szfinxet, mint arról, hogy ő építtette. Az elmélet híveinek egy része azt vallja, hogy a Szfinxet az atlantisziak építették, és ehhez szervesen kapcsolódik az Atlantisz-legenda valósságának kérdése is.

Az Atlantisz-elmélet legvalószínűbb cáfolata
Az egyiptológia álláspontja szerint a Szfinxet kétségkívül Hafré építette. Az "Atlantisz-elmélet" által említett kiásás a Westcar-papirusz szerint valójában egy templom felújítása volt. Tudjuk azt is, hogy a gízai piramisok nagyrészt helyben bányászott mészkőből készültek. A Szfinx teste valójában két kőfejtés között megmaradó óriási természetes kőtömb, amelynek erózió által formált alakja ihlette az oroszlánalakot, amelyhez kiegészítésképp rögzítették a Hafrét ábrázoló portrét, valamint a lábakat. Ez megmagyarázza a 12-15 ezeréves erózió-nyomokat is, hiszen Hafré korában a testet alkotó kősziklához gyakorlatilag nem nyúltak hozzá.

A Szfinx szerepe

A másik nagy kérdés a Szfinxszel kapcsolatban annak szerepe és rendeltetése. Az első elmélet hívei szerint egyetlen célja Hafré fáraó emlékének fenntartása és sírjának őrzése. A második elmélet és több laikus szerint a Szfinx egy amolyan csillagászati óra. Az óegyiptomiak már jóval az európaiak előtt csillagképekre osztották az eget és azokkal mérték az időt. Megfigyelték például, hogy az égbolt csillagképei két ellentétes irányba "forgó" gyűrűbe rendeződnek, és két különböző gyűrűn lévő csillagkép 25 920 évenként kerül egymáshoz viszonyítva azonos állásba. Hitük szerint amikor a kos és a Herkules csillagkép egymás fölött áll pont a Szfinx előtt, és pont azon a ponton kel fel reggel a nap, eljön a szeth tepi, a világvége. Ekkor hatalmas természeti katasztrófák söpörnek végig a Földön és elpusztítanak mindent. Ez az esemény tehát 25 920 évenként következik be. Szerintük egy ilyen szeth tepi okozta Atlantisz elsüllyedését. Az óegyiptomi naptár szerint a legújabb ilyen világvége valamikor a 21. század közepén következik be.

A keletkezéséval kapcsolatos fenti elmélet cáfol minden gyakorlati célt és megfontolást, mivel a tájolás és helyzet a szikla természetes állapotából adódott. Hafré óbirodalmi szfinxe sokáig egyedülálló maradt, míg a Középbirodalom idejében az oroszlántestű és emberfejű ábrázolások gyakorivá nem váltak. Az Újbirodalom korában a szfinx már általános díszítőelem.

I am starting to gear up and get everything ready for my next release. For those who don't know what that is, it's Unraveled, the first book in the Guzzi Duet. If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you have very likely seen me sharing little snippets, quotes, or small excerpts for this book. I finally finished writing--and typed The End officially just the other day--the book after being hit with illness after illness for a whole month. It put me a bit behind, but it's nothing I can't handle.
Life loves getting in the way sometimes.
BUT ... it is done, which means all the fun stuff that comes along with that can now begin rolling as well.
I'm here to drop off the blurb + cover reveal signups. Cover reveal is happening mid-month in May with Indie Sage. I do love their bloggers, they're always wonderful and make a reveal fun.
Also, I won't just be revealing one cover, but BOTH Duet covers.
The covers were designed by Migon Mykel at Oh So Novel Designs. She's also wonderful.
So if you would like to participate in the cover reveal for the duet, you can sign up with Indie Sage HERE.
You can also add Unraveled to your Goodreads TBR, if you're so inclined.


I'm sure you've been seeing plenty of stories about the up-coming big game (if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll just leave you in your happy, non-sport world). There's so much hype and build up to it that it will be all the more difficult for the team that doesn't get to raise the Lombardi trophy on Sunday evening. I've been on the losing side at various times in my life, but never with millions of people watching me lose!
What do you do when your dreams are smashed? I'm sure that there are some of you who have experienced greater losses than your team losing a game. When you lose your job, home, loved-ones, or dream it can be devastating. It's hard to even have the strength to keep moving.
Great picture, Jeff! Hmm...who could that pastor be? GO HAWKS!

5 Nutritious Foods You've Probably Never Tried (But Should!)
If your diet has become as predictable as your running route, it might be time to think beyond oatmeal and chicken and shake up your shopping cart with these nutritious foods.
October 14, 2020 Matthew Kadey R.D.
Kefir with granola makes for a great recovery snack.
Mixing up your diet will relieve bored taste buds and help you load up on a greater diversity of nutrients to support your training efforts. And there are some other perks worth noting that comes with broadening your culinary horizons. An investigation in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that individuals who presented tendencies for food neophobia—a reluctance to try unfamiliar foods—had overall lower-quality diets and were at a greater risk for certain health conditions like diabetes. And research in the Journal of Nutrition discovered that people who include a greater variety of healthy foods (read: not pumpkin spice ice cream) in their daily menu had an easier time maintaining healthy body weight. So it's time to take your menu off repeat. These just might be the best nutritious foods you aren't eating.
1. Freekeh
Middle Eastern cuisine is trending which means this traditional staple grain of countries like Syria and Lebanon is easier to find. Freekeh (pronounced FREAK-eh) is a version of wheat that is harvested while still immature ("green"), then sun-dried and finally roasted which impregnates the kernels with a smoky flavor and chewy bite. So you could think of it as the bacon of the whole grain world. Nutritionally, freekeh is a whole grain on steroids. For instance, it has more protein and twice as much fiber (8 grams in 1/4 cup dry serving) as vaunted quinoa. That makes the grain useful in not only helping repair and build lean body mass but also for promoting longevity as research shows that higher intakes of fiber are associated with a lower risk for many of today's biggest killers including diabetes and heart disease. As a bonus, freekeh delivers the same vision-protecting antioxidant duo lutein and zeaxanthin found in leafy greens. You can find freekeh in most Middle Eastern grocers or at bobsredmill.com.
Eat more of this nutritious food:
Cook freekeh like you would other grains (about 2 1/2 cups water for each cup grain) and then use it in soups, stir-fries, pilafs, tabouleh, green salads, and even veggie burgers.
Long popular in Eastern Europe, kefir is now gaining a foothold in more American dairy aisles—and you should take notice. This tangy dairy product is made when milk is fermented by lactic acid bacteria and yeasts encased in what is known as "kefir grains." The end result is a great white with some mighty nutritional teeth. For starters, kefir contains a greater overall population of the beneficial microorganisms, otherwise known as probiotics, than what you'd typically get in yogurt. So by consuming kefir you are essentially fertilizing your digestive tract with a bounty of good-for-you critters that can support digestive and immune health. Since these bugs feast on and reduce levels of lactose—a naturally occurring sugar in dairy that can cause digestive woes in some people—kefir is often better tolerated in those with dairy sensitivities. As with milk, kefir contains a trifecta of items that can help you fortify your skeleton. That would be protein (10 to 15 grams in a cup), calcium, and vitamin D. Plus, it delivers potassium which athletes need for proper muscle contraction and fluid balance. Flavored versions typically have a fair amount of added sugary calories that can negate some of the health benefits, so it is optimal to select plain.
Kefir is most often sold as a thick drink with a similar consistency to buttermilk. You can pour it into a glass and drink straight up, pour it over a bowl of granola (a near perfect recovery snack) or use it as a base in your post-workout smoothies. It's also a great replacement for buttermilk in recipes like pancakes and waffles. Or use it to create a creamy salad dressing with some sour power.
Keeping with the fermented food theme and to help you embrace the plant-based eating trend, let us introduce you to the culinary and nutrition virtues of tempeh. Made from nutrient-dense whole soybeans that are soaked, cooked, slightly fermented and then formed into a firm meaty patty, tempeh doubles up on the protein compared to humbled tofu–about 30 grams in a cup serving. A recent review of 41 studies in the Journal of Hypertension that included seven plant-based diets found a greater consumption of plant-based proteins like tempeh, even along with some animal products, could lead to reductions in blood pressure that may lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and overall mortality. The nutritional goldmine of tempeh also includes a big range of essential vitamins and minerals including iron, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, and immune-boosting zinc. And don't overlook that it's also a source of gut-friendly probiotics like cultured dairy foods. Data hailing from the American Gut Project discovered that people who consumed at least 30 different types of plant foods each week had more diverse microbiomes than those who consumed only 10 or fewer types of plants weekly. So working tempeh into your weekly menu can help drive you towards this gut-benefiting plant-based food diversity. Look for tempeh in the refrigerated section of supermarkets and health food stores, near where tofu and other meat alternatives are found.
Try this umami bomb grilled like steak, cubed, and added to stir-fry or crumble tempeh up and use it like you would ground beef in chili recipes or pasta tomato sauces.
4. Sunflower Butter
Yes, peanut butter and almond butter will always be awesome, but perhaps it's time to spread the love even if you're not a school kid with a peanut allergy. Made by grinding up the seeds of the sun-worshiping plant into a creamy paste, sunflower butter has an earthy-nutty flavor and a few nutritional highlights worth noting. Namely, it delivers 7 grams of protein in a 2 tablespoon serving, which is on par with peanut butter, and is a good source of the antioxidant vitamin E as well as magnesium–an often under-consumed mineral linked to a lower risk for heart disease. Oh, and it also tends to be a more budget-friendly choice than a few other spreads like cashew or almond butter.
It goes without saying that you can slather sunflower butter on your morning toast, but also try it blended into smoothies, savory sauces, and homemade energy grub like bars and power balls.
5. Celery Root
It's time to think beyond the carrots and spinach for your veggie fix. Also called celeriac, frumpy celery root is exactly what its moniker claims it to be: the bulbous root of a type of celery plant. What this ugly duckling of the vegetable world lacks in aesthetics, it makes up for with a creamy white flesh that tastes like a love child of parsley and celery. Beyond being low in calories, celery root is especially rich in vitamin K, a nutrient tied to greater longevity when levels are higher in the body. Choose small-to-medium roots that are firm, heavy for their size, and free of soft spots, especially on the bottom.
Celery root must be peeled generously with a sharp knife before eating. Grated or thinly sliced it can be added raw to salads, sandwiches, or slaws. It's also commonly used in pureed soups, as part of a roasted vegetable medley, or as a less starchy alternative to mashed potatoes.

Seven years ago, while in a lot of distress, I entered a program of therapy called DBT, which emphasized concepts from Buddhism. It literally saved my life.
While I'm not an actual Buddhist, I feel a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for the lessons Buddhism and DBT have taught me. If you are struggling with self-harm urges or emotional disregulation in your life, and find that other therapeutic approaches haven't been working for you, I highly recommend you look into it.

West Virginia man faces sex charges after troopers say he impregnated 13-year-old
ELKINS, W.Va. (WBOY) – A Randolph County man is facing sex charges after he impregnated a 13-year-old girl in his care, according to West Virginia State Police.
Martin Roy, 42, of Elkins, is charged with second-degree sexual assault and sexual abuse by a parent or guardian, according to his criminal complaint.
In a Child Protective Services interview, the 13-year-old girl told CPS workers and a state trooper that she was placed in Roy's care while her mother was incarcerated for child neglect. While in his care, she was given a pill that made her pass out, and when she woke up, she found her pants were pulled down and that her feet were tied together, the girl told investigators.
Investigators learned that Roy had told two family members that he had "visions" that he had sexual intercourse with the victim, court documents said. When asked about the visions, Roy told state police that the girl had told him that she had come into his room and had intercourse with him, but that he did not believe that it had happened, according to the criminal complaint.
State troopers were able to confirm through DNA testing that Roy is the father of the baby, according to the complaint.
Roy is being held in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail, with bail set at $100,000, cash only.


Nicaragua has only recently come on the radar as an emerging destination for its wealth of nature-based activities, including hiking forests, swimming, kayaking, ash boarding and paragliding are activities to enjoy here. Add to this culturally and historically vibrant cities such as Leon and Granada, and the thriving coffee plantations, and Nicaragua makes a fun and rewarding destination.
Welcome to Nicaragua. Upon arrival in Managua, you proceed through Immigration and Customs, and claim your luggage. Outside the Customs Hall, a representative from Big Five will be waiting to greet you and transfer you in a private car to your hotel, about a 45-minute drive to Apoyo Lagoon.
The beautiful Laguna de Apoyo is located between Granada and Masaya, and is the result of a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago. In 1991, the lagoon was declared as a natural reserve. Laguna de Apoyo is said to have the cleanest water of all fresh-water lakes in Nicaragua. The lake is easily accessible by car and with its warm water and beautiful surroundings, it attracts many visitors, international as well as domestic, but the lake still manages to avoid overcrowding. Nature-based activities include shoreline or forest walks where you may encounter monkeys, hummingbirds, toucans and much more. The flora and fauna in this region are incredible diverse. Take a swim, kayak, scuba dive or try your hand at paragliding.
This morning, you are transferred to Granada where to enjoy a guided tour of the city. No visit to Granada is complete without an exploration of the historic center. Founded by the Spanish in 1524, Granada is one of the oldest colonial cities in the Americas. Discover the city both on foot and by traditional horse-drawn carriage. Visit San Francisco Church and adjacent San Francisco Convent, built in 1529, and the Merced Church, where you have an opportunity to climb the bell tower for spectacular views over the city, Lake Nicaragua, and Mombacho Volcano.
Then, you explore a colorful artisan market at Masaya, where you can browse quality Nicaraguan handicrafts. The attractive booths, large breezy walkways and high quality handicrafts make this market Nicaragua's most famous. Some of the more standout pieces found at National Artisan Market in Masaya are hammocks, hammock chair, baskets, primitive art, pottery, wooden bowls – all locally made. Savor lunch overlooking the Apoyo Lagoon before you visit San Juan de Oriente. This is one of the White Villages, noted for the white colonial-style churches and the other buildings. Here you can met and talk to some of the local craftsmen who produce fine clay ceramics.
Today, you enjoy a very special encounter at the Centro Social Tio Antonio. In 2012, a Spanish man named Antonio decided to invest in Nicaraguan youth who are disabled. Originally, he imagined supporting an already existing effort, but soon discovered there were no such organizations providing job skills to blind, deaf, hard of hearing and young people with limited abilities. He launched Centro Social Tio Antonio, a hammock workshop, and Cafe de las Sonrisas in Granada to help address the problem. While there, students are able to help make hammocks. You will meet a young blind man who made a hammock for Pope Francis; and a man who is fluent in English, Spanish and Nicaraguan sign language. The language has a lot in common with American Sign Language (ASL) but is its own unique language.
This morning, you set out on a three-hour drive to Leon, a cultural and historic city with an authentic atmosphere where visitors can easily connect with the locals. Begin exploring on foot one of Nicaragua's oldest and most influential cities. It is considered Nicaragua´s historical, cultural, educational and religious capital. Leon was dismantled, moved, and rebuilt due to volcanic activities. It was ransacked by pirates, and reconstructed, and has battled back and forth with Managua to be the most important city in Nicaragua. During your guided walking tour, visit revolutionary murals, baroque and neoclassical churches and an art museum displaying works by internationally renowned artists. A local market, colonial buildings, including Nicaragua´s first university, will also be explored. In addition, you will climb to the rooftop of Central America´s largest cathedral, registered on UNESCO´s list of World Heritage, to enjoy the astonishing views over the city and surrounding Maribios Volcanic Chain.
Today, you are transferred in a private car on a three and a half-hour drive to Matagalpa located in northern Nicaragua. It has been referred to as 'the pearl of the North" with its fresh climate. It sits in a valley, surrounded by a mountains. Matagalpa is the center of Nicaragua's coffee production. The city center has many hotels and restaurants as well as museums. The area nearby is home to coffee farms, small villages and the waterfalls of the Santa Emilia River. The Apante Hill Nature Reserve is a great place to hike.
You arrive at the largest and highest coffee plantation of Nicaragua, La Cumplida. The ranch house was used as offices, lodging for technicians and some executive staff for some 20 years but has recently been renovated. With just five rooms, it hosts guest scientists, visitors and students through agreements with universities. The plantation covers an area of 1421 hectares/3511 acres, of which 642 hectares/1586 acres have are devoted to coffee production. Established in 1992, the plantation has a goal of becoming a leader in coffee production and export while utilizing manufacturing excellence, modern agricultural techniques, social responsibility and respect for the environment to help transform the area.
This morning, you are taken to the airstrip for your flight to San Juan Del Sur, one of the most popular destinations in Nicaragua. Once a quiet fishing village, San Juan del Sur has emerged into one of the country´s major beach destinations. Fortunately, the town has maintained its charm and laid back atmosphere. It has a number of hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs that offer a vibrant nightlife. The beaches are great for surfing almost year round as well as snorkeling, diving, sailing and whale watching. You can do a canopy tour just outside of town. The protected La Flor Beach and Wildlife Reserve shelters marine turtles.
Land price, per person, double occupancy: From $650 per person, per day.

The Prelude Project identified that load testing of Pipeline End Termination Structures (for the laydown load) would be challenging and problematic to perform due to restricted access to critical welds for inspection. An independent assessment to review the design was one measure Technip used to validate the PLETs design and fabrication for lift installation without load testing.
Independent Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modelling was undertaken and an independent assessment of the PLET structural components for the maximum installation lifting load case. Several sensitivity assessments and quality assurance checks were undertaken.


Following the success of our first event in November, we are holding a follow-up debate entitled "Kurdistan: Why International Support is Crucial".
We hope to again initiate and facilitate an in-depth discussion on the Kurdish demand for international support for Kurdistan in light of recent developments in the region. The Islamic States' violent offensive continues to have grave repercussions for the security and welfare of the citizens both regionally and globally. The event aims to highlight the international community's responsibility to further assist the Kurds in Iraq and Syria and provide relief to the innumerable and increasing number of victims of this unforgiving war.

Sage Creek High School students will enroll in a trimester schedule. Students take five classes per day that meet daily for 70 minutes. Each trimester is twelve weeks long (see Trimester Overview).
The regular school day begins at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 2:30 p.m., with the exception of Wednesdays, which begin at 8:30 a.m.
Students can accelerate. As you review the course sequence for Spanish in the below sample schedules, you see that a student can take three years of a world language in two academic years.
Students can re-take a course and still stay on course to meet high school graduation requirements.
Students can have an "Off-Roll" period (i.e., "late-start" or "early release"). This is a great opportunity for athletes who need to depart school before the last period of the day is over for games during their designated season.
Students can explore various electives and/or take additional core classes.
Students can graduate high school with 300 credits. The Carlsbad Unified School District high school requirement is 230 credits.
How can students benefit from participating in the trimester schedule?
What are some unique elements of the trimester schedule?
Two trimesters are equivalent to a yearlong course in a semester system.
As seen on 9th Grade Sample Schedule, some courses are "gapped" by a trimester or summer break: English 1, P.E. 1, and Spanish 3.
Students may have one teacher for the first trimester of a course and a different teacher for the second trimester of the course (see Biology 1 on 10th Grade Sample Schedule).

The Health Wrap: Co-payments, COAG and cutting costs; racism is unhealthy; health-environment ties; tobacco tussles

By Kellie Bisset
Co-payments, COAG and cutting costs
The release of the COAG Reform Council's final health report could not have been more timely, given the ongoing Budget fallout and debate around the proposed $7 co-payment.
Newly elected AMA president Dr Brian Owler said the report, which showed that 12% of people in disadvantaged areas delayed or did not fill a prescription due to cost, highlighted the impact the co-payment policy would have on the vulnerable. Medical Observer reported that the AMA is currently developing an alternative co-payment model, though it didn't outline the details.
Croakey co-ordinator Melissa Sweet also addressed the issue of entrenching disadvantage in a piece that takes a look at the COAG's report's main findings. The report identified six emerging areas of health concern, including diabetes and obesity, elective surgery waiting times, and an increase in potentially preventable hospitalisations for vaccine preventable and acute conditions. This ABC news story from Sophie Scott also gives an overview.
And as Sweet argues in this post, the report's findings are just part of the story. What impact will the council's axing have on keeping governments accountable for health outcomes, she asks. Professor Stephen Duckett also tackled the issue of Commonwealth-State relations on health in the wake of the Budget, which he argues has taken a wrecking ball to collaborative health reform efforts.
The risk of the budget measures having a disproportionate impact on the poor and disadvantaged was a prominent theme at Croakey this fortnight. Another piece from Melissa Sweet highlighted the opposition from both ends of the political spectrum, with John Hewson at one end and the Doctors' Reform Society's Dr Tim Woodruff at the other.
Dr Tim Senior's first crowdfunded Wonky Health column looked at why co-payments will increase the health gap and Dr Justin Coleman added his voice to the debate, pointing out that not touching the primary care bucket of money is an evidence-based way to improve health outcomes and save long-term dollars – no matter what country you come from. Jennifer Doggett looked at whether the opposition to the co-payment was related to the delivery of the message or the message itself.
And mental health researcher Dr Vanessa Rose highlighted that while much attention has focussed on the co-payment, Government welfare reforms will also have significant impact, particularly on young people.
Senate Estimates meanwhile, heard that the Government had done no modelling to ascertain the impact of the GP co-payment and the Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association released a statement saying a Freedom of Information request for details on the number of people bulkbilled (as opposed to the number of services) was refused.
Former Tony Abbott policy adviser Terry Barnes told Medical Observer that he supported the idea of the FOI application in the interests of public debate and getting more data into the public domain.
According to Professor Kim Oates, if we want to have a debate about cutting healthcare costs, we should take a more visionary approach than introducing a co-payment. And former Labor health minister Brian Howe has argued that his version of a co-payment, introduced in 1991, was different to this one because the savings were to be redirected towards preventive health.
This article in The Age says that as Medicare turns 40 this year, it (like the rest of us?) potentially faces its own decline.
Budget fallout for Aboriginal health
In the immediate Budget aftermath it was pointed out by many that the impact on disadvantaged Australians has particular resonance for Aboriginal people, and this past fortnight the issue has been teased apart even further.
Croakey reports the issue was pursued by Senator Penny Wong in Senate Estimates, and Julie Tongs, CEO of the Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal health service in Canberra, said the co-payment was a human rights issue. Some of the service's clients had trouble affording milk and bread, let alone a visit to the doctor, she said.
Deputy Chair of the Government's Indigenous Advisory Council Dr Ngaire Brown told the Australian Financial Review that the Budget would be a mess for Indigenous communities, given one of the main barriers to poor Indigenous health outcomes was lack of access to services.
The council's chair, Warren Mundine, told The Australian that the budget cuts to Indigenous services were related to inefficiencies and should be reinvested into education, employment and community safety. However, this World Today report also quotes Dr Brown, who says the detail on the Budget cuts is not yet known, so it's premature to suggest they are targeting waste.
"In theory, absolutely everybody wants to spend better, but in order for us to be able to overcome disadvantage, and disparity, we can't spend less," she told the program.
The Government has released a Q&A document on Indigenous health in the budget. Does it answer your questions or are there others you would like asked? Croakey is interested to know.
Two new Australian reports on Indigenous health were released this fortnight. Updated results from the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey show that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over are about half as likely as non-Indigenous people to report excellent or very good health. Less than 40% rate their health as excellent or very good. The COAG Reform Council's report Indigenous Reform 2012-13: five years of performance, shows that over five years, the national gap to non-Indigenous life expectancy narrowed by 0.8 years for men and just 0.1 years for women.
A new resource to support those working to reduce the harms associated with substance misuse in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities has been launched by the National Indigenous Drug and Alcohol Committee. Assistant Health Minister Fiona Nash, who gave the opening address at the committee's recent national conference, and said the service would particularly benefit health workers.
The initiative is undoubtedly a positive one, and without taking away from its importance, The Health Wrap will take this opportunity to reiterate Croakey's recent post, which reminded us that Aboriginal people in general are more likely to abstain from alcohol than non-Indigenous Australians. This CBC News piece says the stereotype that Aboriginal people have a genetic intolerance to alcohol persists in Canada and around the world. But Manitoba's former chief public health officer Dr Joel Kettner says the evidence points to social conditions such as poverty, not genetics, as a driver of alcoholism, and this is where we should be focusing our attention, he argues.
Racism is unhealthy
In some good news welcomed by NACCHO, the Government has announced that by the end of the year it will develop an implementation plan for the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan.
While reiterating concerns over budget cuts to Indigenous services, NACCHO Chair Justin Mohammed said he welcomed "the long-sought acknowledgement that racism continues to have a negative impact on the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people."
This issue was highlighted by a new MJA study, which found that a third of Aboriginal Australians had experienced racism in healthcare settings in the previous year and that this was directly contributing to levels of psychological distress. It also received some international attention, with comments from Canadian public health physician Janet Smylie that racism towards Aboriginal people seeking emergency department treatment is still an uncomfortable issue in Canada.
And it will be dealt with in-depth at a symposium in Melbourne later this month, as this Croakey post from Marie McInerny discusses.
Does the medical research fund have a future?
As the NHMRC celebrated its 200th meeting controversy continued to surround the Federal Government's $20 billion Medical Research Future Fund and whether it does, in fact, have a future. This Lateline piece looks at just that question. In an address to the National Press Club, CSIRO Chairman Simon McKeon said the health and research community was "quietly hoping" that Canberra would sort out the opposing views over the fund. McKeon, who chaired the Strategic Review of Health and Medical Research said he was hoping the Government could devise a funding peace package.
The Opposition has drawn parallels between the fund and an episode of The Hollowmen – an ABC TV series that satirised the workings of government. Labor said the fund sounded a little like the $150 billion National Perpetual Endowment Fund which featured in an episode of the program.
Meanwhile the SMH reported that neither NHMRC chairman Warwick Anderson nor Chief Scientist Ian Chubb had any input into the fund plan. The Australian's Niki Savva wrote that the fund should be debated on its own merits and not destroyed by politics. And if it did happen to go ahead, this is how it could work, according to this SMH piece from Nicky Phillips.
Health, environment and the ties that bind
The Obama Administration has put public health front and centre in the latest phase of its Climate Action plan, which focuses on reducing carbon emissions from power stations. The New York Times reports estimates that the measures will prevent 100,000 asthma attacks and 2100 heart attacks in its first year of operation. The Amercian Public health Association has released this storify on the EPA plan for those who want an at-a-glance overview.
In this Croakey post, Professor of Climate and Environmental Law at University of Sydney Rosemary Lyster, says its significant that Obama has chosen to make the connection between health and climate change, a connection that has gained little traction in Australia.
The connection between transport and health might be gaining gradual momentum here, though this University of Colorado study says the link is often ignored in transportation planning in the US.
"Air pollution, crime and numerous traffic hazards … point to a serious and persistent gap between public health and planning," a university statement said.
Those interested in climate change and health research might like this web story from the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, highlighting work from two of its scientists who are developing methods to assess and quantify the role of climate change on health.
This Triple Pundit article looks at the contradiction of most Americans supporting the need to address climate change – even at the cost of the economy – while ranking it lower than other concerns.
Budget blues in the bush
Returning to the Budget, the National Rural Health Alliance has raised concerns over the gloomy prognosis the measures will have for regional, rural and remote Australians.
Meanwhile, rural doctors have described as a 'disaster' and a 'false economy' the Government's decision to scrap the Prevocational General Practice Placements Program, which they say has attracted doctors to rural medicine by giving them a taste of what it was all about.
John Menadue offers a controversial 'pearl' on the subject of country doctors with the suggestion that auctioning doctor provider numbers by postcode might help the medical workforce maldistribution.
"Why can we send teachers to areas of need but not doctors?" he asks.
Tobacco tussles
As we observed World No Tobacco day, a stoush took place over disputed claims raised in The Australian over evidence of the value of plain packaging, Assistant health Minister Fiona Nash launched a new $4.6million anti-tobacco advertising campaign and what to do about e-cigarettes continued to occupy our attention.
Professor Simon Chapman's article in The Conversation critiquing a new study published in the journal Addiction, said claims that e-cigarettes could assist quitting or reduce smoking-related harm were premature and "may be all smoke and mirrors".
Internationally, the US Food and Drug Administration is still considering its position on the products, this video interview on Medscape looked at the issue of nicotine poisoning in kids using e-cigarettes, and a study in Pediatrics showed that e-cigarette manufacturers had substantially increased their advertising, resulting in much greater exposure of the products to teenagers and young adults.
UK pop star Lily Allen has come under fire from health experts after being paid to plug e-cigarettes in her latest music video and the BBC reports that 50 researchers and public health specialists have written an open letter to the WHO, urging the organization to resist the urge to control and suppress e-cigarettes, which they say could be a 'significant health innovation'. According to one of the speakers at Wales' first summit on e-cigarettes, there is no evidence they will lure young people into taking up smoking.
On the issue of tobacco regulation, Russia has banned smoking in restaurants and bars, and the American Medical Association has upped its pressure on retailers who sell health products to follow the lead of the CVS chain and halt the sale of cigarettes. Jamaican health officials said recent increased tobacco regulation has already shown public health benefits, and this Huffington Post article to mark World No Tobacco Day points out the tsunami of illness facing China as a a result of smoking.
Social determinants – the last word
It seems fitting, given we began this week's wrap with a series of links on health and disadvantage, to look at some news on this subject internationally, and a couple of local offerings.
This blog post on Kevin MD says political conversations about health tend to fall into familiar traps but in order to properly move what we know about the social determinants of health into the broader public discourse, we need to avoid being trapped by the "holy trinity" of smoking, diet and exercise.
The always excellent Reporting on Health blog asks: we know toxic stress is damaging to kids but how do we fight it? And the UK Royal College of General Practitioners has released research showing that people living in the most deprived communities face the longest waiting times for care.
The Scotland Herald quotes researchers saying shaming campaigns that target smokers and drinkers do not work and just end up alienating their target audience. And on the issue of drugs, Professor Jeanette Kennett writes in a piece for The Conversation that victim blaming in the area of drug addiction means there is a legal inconsistency whereby addicts are considered responsible for their crimes but others compelled to harmful behaviours are not.
Also at The Conversation, Professor Karen Charlton looks at the health implications of living on $2 a day.
And finally, a new report released by The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare and the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM) which looked at the link between social exclusion and the risk of poor health outcomes, found that children living in areas with a higher risk of social exclusion had poorer health than those who lived in other areas.

Shrewsbury Town are pleased to announce that Arthur Gnahoua and Lenell John-Lewis are set to remain with the club.
Gnahoua has taken up his automatic one-year extension, whilst John-Lewis is set to sign a new one-year deal with the club.
Arthur featured 22 times last season, scoring three goals, whilst Lenell made 44 appearances, mostly from the bench, also scoring three times.
Town boss John Askey was pleased to get both men on board, including Gnahoua who he worked with at Macclesfield.
"Lenell was offered a new year by the previous manager which he's taken up", said John.
"He's got a great attitude. As I said with previous players he's got to show what he can do and if he does well then he'll be in the team."
Meanwhile, John also confirmed that he is hopeful that Alex Rodman will stay.
"We've made Alex a good offer", Askey continued.
"I'm eager to get Alex signed. We'll know within the next day or two. He's been a good pro and is important to the dressing room so hopefully we can get Alex tied down.
"I'm pretty confident. You never know, but I think he's enjoyed it here and he feels comfortable. Hopefully it'll be one we can get over the line."


When we feel down and disempowered, we tend to tune into the inner voice that thinks nothing will help. After all, nothing seemed to help in the past. When we were young, many of us were powerless. Nothing we could think of actually changed the situation. Hope just made us feel worse. We had to deny and bury our feelings. We had to tough it out. When we're down and feeling disempowered now, that same energy pattern gets activated.
With tapping, we have a new way to deal with our feelings. And it's okay to tap on whatever the thoughts are… even when the thought is that tapping is stupid and a waste of time!
It can be really helpful to monitor how intensely terrible you feel, and how convinced you are that tapping is stupid. When we're feeling doubtful, it can be easy to miss the shift from intensely terribly to kind of crappy. None of us want to feel bad, but going from a 10 to a 6 can be a big relief!
Karate Chop: Even though I feel terrible and powerless… and this tapping stuff is stupid and won't help…tapping might just soothe me a bit.
Even though I feel horrible and this tapping stuff is just a farce anyway… at least the tapping doesn't hurt… and what if it helps a little?
Even though tapping feels like a waste of time and effort… I wonder if part of me is frightened and shut down. Maybe I can view tapping as a way to show myself I care.
Top of the Head: This tapping stuff is really stupid.
Eyebrow: Why am I wasting my time?
Under the Eye: And tapping isn't going to help.
Under the Nose: Tapping is just a farce.
Chin: I don't know how to feel better.
Collarbone: I don't know what to do.
Under the Arm: I hate this!
Top of the Head: Tapping is weird and kind of stupid.
Eyebrow: Why do I bother?
Side of the Eye: I don't like how I feel.
Under the Eye: And here I am tapping.
Under the Nose: Only stupid people tap on themselves.
Chin: This is too weird.
Collarbone: I guess maybe it's good that I'm listening to myself.
Under the Arm: It is sort of comforting that I'm doing something.
Top of the Head: This tapping thing is strange.
Eyebrow: But it doesn't feel bad.
Side of the Eye: Maybe I feel a little more grounded.
Under the Eye: Maybe I don't feel quite as horrible.
Chin: But I open to feeling a little better anyway.
Collarbone: I don't feel quite so bad.
Under the Arm: And I am paying attention to my feelings.
Top of the Head: I like that I'm taking care of me.
Notice your intensity on "I feel terrible" and "This tapping thing is stupid". Did they go up? Down? Stay the same? What thoughts or memories came up?
When we move from disempowered and shut down, often the next thing we feel is sadness or anger. If it doesn't feel safe to feel those emotions, we may shut ourselves back down into depressed and hopeless again. Doing a few rounds on whatever is coming up can help. Even if you just tap a few rounds on "this sadness" or "this anger in my chest/throat/other location in your body," you're teaching your body to become more resilient and changing your energy.
There are parts of us that remain locked in trauma UNTIL the right support is available. The right support… feels safe. Getting support feels respectful and honoring of what you went through. Having someone there can help you feel stronger… and competent to help youself heal.

Measles Patient Who Traveled Through LAX in September Might Have Exposed Others to Disease, Officials Warn
Posted 1:31 PM, September 25, 2019, by Kristina Bravo, Updated at 06:12PM, September 27, 2019
Los Angeles County health officials issued a warning Wednesday after confirming a measles case involving a resident who traveled through the Los Angeles International Airport in September.
Authorities urged anyone who was at the following locations on Sept. 20 and 21 to monitor themselves for symptoms. After initially releasing exposure warnings Wednesday, officials updated the locations and times Friday to:
Sept. 20 at 10:45 p.m. to Sept. 21 at 1 a.m. - Terminal 4
Sept. 20 at 11 p.m. to Sept. 21 at 1:20 a.m. - parking spot at Century Airport Shuttle from LAX, Terminal 4, to 5701 W. Century Blvd., Los Angeles
The Los Angeles International Airport is seen in a file photo. (Credit: FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP/Getty Images)
People should check their immunization record and watch out for fever and/or unexplained rashes seven to 21 days after possible exposure, according to the county Department of Public Health . Those who weren't immunized, pregnant, parents of infants or have a weakened immune system should contact their health care provider.
Authorities said if symptoms develop, "stay at home and call a healthcare provider immediately."
Seventeen measles cases have been reported among L.A. County residents in 2019, in addition to 11 measles cases involving non-residents who traveled through the region.
"For those who are not protected, measles is a highly contagious and potentially severe disease that initially causes fever, cough, red, watery eyes, and, finally, a rash," county Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis said in a statement. "Measles is spread by air and by direct contact even before you know have it. The MMR immunization is a very effective measure to protect yourself and to prevent the unintentional spread of this potentially serious infection to others."

DO YOU NEED AN AGGRESSIVE DUI DEFENSE LAWYER?
Illinois's prosecutors and police take DUI charges seriously, especially if injury or death results. You may face 30 years in jail—even a life sentence—if the accident involved death or debilitating injuries for numerous victims. You should take these charges as seriously as the State's Attorney, and do everything you can to protect your personal rights, your future and your reputation.
If you are facing a felony DUI conviction, Martin & Kent, L.L.C., may be able to provide the legal counsel and representation you need. With more than 10,000 criminal cases and 42 years of combined legal experience under our belts, we offer tough and aggressive legal support. We thoroughly investigate our clients' cases, ensuring that we have collected all the information, facts and details possible to build a strong defense. As former felony prosecutors, we know how to shield our clients from even the toughest judges and prosecutors in these types of cases. We have the proven results, reputation, and expertise to handle your case.
Many DUI arrests stem from accidents. If a driver causes a crash, the police will likely respond to the scene and may suspect that the driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. At that time, officers can request that the driver submit a breath sample for a roadside test or undergo field sobriety tests. If the officer believes they have probable cause, they can arrest the driver. The prosecutor can then issue DUI charges.
DUI charges stemming from an accident can be substantially more serious than DUI charges in the absence of a crash. Prosecutors will examine whether the crash caused any serious injuries or deaths to others. This can include passengers of the DUI suspect's vehicle, pedestrians, bicyclists, or occupants of other motor vehicles. If injuries or deaths occurred, the prosecutors can issue enhanced charges of aggravated DUI.
An accident caused great bodily harm, disabilities, or disfigurement to another person besides the suspected drunk driver. This is a Class 4 felony and can result in one to 12 years in prison.
An accident caused any degree of harm to a minor younger than age 16. Note that injuries to children do not have to be severe to justify aggravated DUI charges. This is a Class 2 felony and can result in a $2,500 fine and three to seven years in prison.
An accident caused the death of another person. This is a Class 2 felony and can result in one to 12 years in prison. If more than one person died, the sentencing range increases to six to 28 years.
Aggravated DUI causing death has some particular differences from injury-related DUI charges. First, the court will presume that a prison sentence is appropriate instead of considering probation. Also, the defendant must serve 85 percent of a prison sentence instead of being eligible for early release after serving 50 percent of a sentence. Unlike injury crashes, the DUI defendant must be at least partially to blame for the crash in order for the prosecutor to obtain a conviction.
Our defense attorneys will closely examine the circumstances of your accident and arrest to identify all possible defenses that can help avoid a conviction or reduce your charges.
A felony DUI will carry much more severe penalties than a regular DUI would. Your driver's license may be suspended for a lifetime, you may have to participate in the BAIID or SCRAM programs and you may owe thousands of dollars in fines-especially if death or injury was involved.

What Does a Defensive Line with Ford and Bosa Look Like?
Bret Rumbeck
Image Credit: Associated Press
Imagine you're a brilliant scientist on the brink of perfecting cold fusion. You've run the steps through a computer model countless times, but continue to find gaps in the chain reaction.
These quantum links – neutrons, electrons, and molecules – cannot be substituted for another substance or element. Without them, you remain near the brink of a life-altering discovery.
The same is true when building a professional football team. I've said it time and again: One of my most significant sources of frustration with the San Francisco 49ers is the team's unquenchable lust to build a winning roster on the cheap.
No matter if Blaine Gabbert was behind center or Garry Gilliam at tackle – cheap talent double-digit losses.
That strategy finally died a needed death a few weeks ago when general manager John Lynch announced the 49ers had signed linebacker Kwon Alexander and defensive end Dee Ford.
Let's assume, Dear Friend, that Jupiter aligns with Mars next week and the 49ers draft Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa. With two fully capable edge defenders, what the new possibilities for the 49ers' defense?
Secondary – Interceptions
Football success or defeat is found in the 11-inch neutral zone separating the offensive and defensive line. I would be hard pressed to believe a team could reach and win a Super Bowl without a line that ranks in the top 10 percent of the league. The 49ers have the talent in the interior of the defensive line, enough to bring a constant rush, but had little consistency on the edges.
Without a consistent pressure on the quarterback, the remainder of the defense falls or has to work twice as hard to produce - specifically the secondary. As we know, the 49ers' secondary could only muster two interceptions last season.
There are a multitude of reasons why the secondary struggled, but chief among them was the lack of a pass rush.
Like a chain reaction, a weak defensive line produces no pressure on the opposing quarterback. With no pressure, the square-jawed gunslinger can survey the coverage and find the open man on any pass play he wishes.
During the Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last year, the 49ers generated 8 total pressures on 27 dropbacks by Rams quarterback Jared Goff. With no pressure, Goff is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, tossing 28 touchdowns, connecting on 71.7% of his passes, and averaging 9 yards per attempt.
When pressured, Goff resembles a Pop Warner quarterback learning to throw a three-yard hitch route. His completion percentage drops to 42.2%, and he averages 5.8 yards per attempt.
Now, the 49ers' secondary looked as lost as a grade schooler at the state fair in Week 7. But that's no excuse for a total lack of effort from the front four.
With steady pressure coming from the edges, it will force a quarterback to step-up too early in his climb and force more bad throws. More bad throws or indecision leads to more interceptions for the secondary.
Interior Defensive Line – Nowhere to Run and Everyone to Block
I reject blind faith under nearly every circumstance under the cosmos. But, for reasons unknown, I continue to put a lot of preseason faith in the 49ers' interior players.
And, like a sucker, I've been roundly disappointed in the interior's overall performance.
Indeed, both DeForest Buckner and Arik Armstead played very well last season, but two men are not enough to anchor an entire defense.
In 2017, the 49ers' rush defense ranked 22nd in the NFL, allowing 1,861 rush yards on a league-high 491 attempts. Unfortunately, the pass rush finished near the bottom of the league with 30 sacks.
Last season, despite some improvements, the rush defense ranked 14th overall, giving up over 1,800 yards on 444 attempts. The pass rush tallied 37 sacks, which placed the 49ers 23rd overall.
There's both blame and success to share for these improvements, including the coaching staff who has an addiction to dropping defensive linemen into coverage.
However, without a push from the edges, the interior defenders have to work harder to get to the quarterback.
Part of an edge defender's job isn't notching 15 tackles per game. Sometimes, he needs to hold firm on the edge to force the running back to cut back inside earlier than he wanted. On other plays, the edge defender needs to merely make a push to pressure the quarterback to step up too early in his climb. Both result in the interior defenders making a play – whether a stop-for-loss, sack or even stripping the ball.
Further, I challenge any defensive coordinator to find a way to block Ford, Armstead, Buckner, and Bosa.
I have patience; I'll sit back and wait for the scheme.
Linebackers – Using These Men Effectively
I have vague memories of many reporters and fans discussing how defensive coordinator Robert Saleh was bringing a hybrid of the Seattle Seahawks' defense to the Bay. That sounded exciting until the 49ers tried to execute the scheme.
Seattle found success in the defensive scheme because they were balanced; the defense had capable players at every position, allowing the linebackers to drop into coverage and disrupt the throwing lanes.
Again, the 49ers have had coverage issues that extend far beyond a lack of a real edge defender. But if the edge defenders can bring more pressure, the linebackers can now safely drop into coverage without trying to cover up the lack of talent at the edge.
Further, on run plays, if Ford and Bosa are squeezing the back's outside lines, and the interior linemen are working to collapse the interior lanes, then the linebackers are solely there as a backstop, rather than a catch-all tackler.
Football isn't like science and therefore is not an "if-then" sport. If the 49ers traded for one player, it does not mean the 49ers will see instant success. It takes 10 other men, a coaching staff, and starvation only cured by drinking the 7 pounds of sterling silver at the end of the season.
But two edge defenders, like the two needed elements to complete the cold fusion experiment, are certainly a giant leap in the direction of greatness.

Census Data 2020
Data of people with disabilities being added to the Census Bureau is crucial. The Census Bureau will collect the data to make statistics for America to see how disability is handled in the 50 states and additional territories. The statistics about American citizens will make way for government programs, laws and policies.
With the 2020 election, it is crucial now than ever to be added. The statistics will show where the voices of American citizens lie and how loud they are.
The 2020 Census Paid Media Campaign will occur in three phases:
1. Awareness/Education Phase (Jan. 14 – March 12): Builds immediate awareness and provides educational information about the 2020 Census.
2. Motivation/Participation Phase (March 13 – May 20):Inspires and motivates the public to complete the 2020 Census questionnaire online, by phone, or by mail.
3. Reminder/Nonresponse Follow Up (May 13 – June 28):Continues to remind people to respond to the 2020 Census and to support census takers as they go door-to-door to count households that have not yet responded.
The 2020 Census will officially begin January 21, in Toksook Bay, Alaska, a remote fishing village located on the Bering Sea. Director Dillingham will be on hand to count the first person. Also known as the "first enumeration," local census takers get a head start in rural Alaska when the ground is frozen, allowing for easier access to remote villages. Advertising in remote Alaska began in mid-December to provide awareness that census takers will soon visit villages to count the people who live there. Beginning in mid-March, households can respond to the census online, by phone, or by mail.
New Job Openings
The U.S. Census Bureau is ramping up its national recruiting efforts to hire up to 500,000 temporary, part-time census takers for the 2020 Census in communities across the country to reach its goal of more than 2 million applicants.
The positions offer competitive pay, flexible hours, paid training, and weekly paychecks. To determine the pay rate in a specific area, learn more about these positions, or apply for one of the temporary jobs, visit 2020census.gov/jobs.
