The Psychological and Neural Basis of Loss Aversion

College of Arts Humanities and Social Sciences, Psychology
Loss aversion is a central element of prospect theory, the dominant theory of decision making under uncertainty for the past four decades, and refers to the overweighting of potential losses relative to equivalent gains, a critical determinant of risky decision making. Recent advances in affective and decision neuroscience have shed new light on the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms underlying loss aversion. Here, integrating disparate literatures from the level of neurotransmitters to subjective reports of emotion, we propose a novel neural and computational framework that links norepinephrine to loss aversion and identifies a distinct role for dopamine in risk taking for rewards. We also propose that loss aversion specifically relates to anticipated emotions and aspects of the immediate experience of realized gains and losses but not their long-term emotional consequences, highlighting an underappreciated temporal structure. Finally, we discuss challenges to loss aversion and the relevance of loss aversion to understanding psychiatric disorders. Refining models of loss aversion will have broad consequences for the science of decision making and for how we understand individual variation in economic preferences and psychological well-being across both healthy and psychiatric populations.

Cops: Suffolk bus driver tried to rape lone passenger
By Times Review
RICHARD DOWNES
A Suffolk Transit bus driver pleaded not guilty this week to attempted rape charges after he allegedly pulled a bus over near the County Center in Riverside and attacked a female passenger Saturday, authorities said.
The alleged victim told State Police that she was the lone passenger on the 8A bus when the driver, Richard Downes, 43, of Middle Island, pulled the bus over on County Road 51 near the county court complex about 3 p.m., took her to the back of the bus and tried to rape her. She fought him off and eventually Mr. Downes stopped the attack, the woman told police. He then dropped her off in Riverhead and continued on his route.
The woman flagged down a Riverhead Police officer who brought her to the State Police barracks in Riverside, which has jurisdiction in Southampton Town where the attack occurred. Shortly after, State Police stopped Mr. Downes as he was driving the bus on Route 24 just off the Long Island Expressway in Calverton.
Robert Schinnick, the director of the county's transportation department explained that though the county owns the bus system and sets the schedules, it contracts hiring and maintenance work to six area companies.
The 8A route is contracted to the Greenport-based Sunrise Coach Lines, which he said had screened Mr. Downes when he was hired.
He said this is the first time he is aware of that a bus driver attacked a passenger on a Suffolk County bus.
Christa Brown, the president of Sunrise Coach Lines, said Mr. Downes was employed with her company for just under a year and that he had undergone a thorough background investigation. She said his driving record was clean and that he had no prior disciplinary issues before the incident.
"There was no disqualifying matter in his background," she said adding he will be suspended pending the outcome of the case.
Mr. Downes, who entered his plea in Southampton Town Justice court Sunday, was being held at the Suffolk County jail in Riverside on $1,000 bail as of Monday. His attorney, Evette Ennis of Valley Stream, did not return calls seeking comment.
He was charged with first-degree attempted rape and second-degree unlawful imprisonment.

New York--American Express Co. is experimenting with facial recognition and wearable technology that could turn into new capabilities for some of its mobile apps, including products aimed at customers traditionally underserved by financial services companies.
To boost business growth, the company wants to use emerging technologies to appeal to consumers in new segments, such as heavy mobile users who want to use digital payments and those with little or no credit and others who prefer not to use credit and charge cards. American Express and other traditional financial firms face competition from upstart payment systems.
"There's a large population better served by something other than credit or charge cards," said Neal Sample, president of the Enterprise Growth group at American Express. For example, the group worked with Wal-Mart Stores to develop the Bluebird prepaid, reloadable card. It also created a digital wallet and peer-to-peer payment system, called Serve.
The company's lab of agile developers and designers works to adapt American Express products and services to new consumer devices, such as Google Glass and the Apple Watch. The lab also experiments with emerging technologies, doing mock-ups and prototypes to prove or disprove their theories. "We want to do the minimum amount of work to demonstrate whether a leap of faith to full development is worth taking," Mr. Sample said.
Facial recognition technology is gathering support in the company's lab. David Baldie, director of technical delivery at American Express Enterprise Growth, has been testing with ways to capture and authenticate face images accurately and quickly on a mobile device. Facial recognition could be more secure than user names and passwords, Mr. Baldie said. A customer could use it when conducting sensitive transactions, such as money transfers, via mobile device.
Several incremental challenges make the process difficult. Mr. Baldie found, for example, that users need visual cues on screen to help align the camera properly. Also, the authentication step of sending the image to a server to match it against stored files must be very fast and very accurate.
The technology is not ready for launch but it's far enough along that Mr. Sample and his team demonstrated a version to senior managers in March. "If we bring it forward, we would follow the full rigor of the development process," said Mili Doshi, director of mobile product development and innovation at American Express Enterprise Growth. That includes extensive risk and security review, she said.

Syrian girl born without legs walks on new prosthetics
SERJILLA, SYRIE (AFP) – Eight-year-old Maya Merhi had to struggle around a Syrian displaced persons camp on artificial limbs made of plastic tubing and tin cans.
But now the girl, who was born with no legs due to a congenital condition, is walking on new prosthetics after undergoing treatment in Turkey.
Pictures of her plight, including those taken by AFP in Syria, were seen around the world in June, and she was taken to Istanbul for the life-changing procedure.
Dressed in a pink sweater and matching shoes, Maya on Saturday (Dec 8) was able for the first time to walk along the rutted roads of the Serjilla camp after arriving back.
Finally she joined in the games and dancing with the other children.
"I was so happy when I saw her walking," says her father Mohammed, sitting in their makeshift tent.
"The whole family and all our loved ones were so happy."
Mohammed suffers the same condition as his daughter, known as congenital amputation which means the person is born without lower limbs.
He cobbled together the homemade prosthetics on which she used to shuffle around the camp.
Originally from Aleppo region, the father and daughter had to move to rebel-held Idlib province as fighting from Syria's civil war began to rage around their home.
After the pictures of Maya's difficulties sparked attention across the globe, the Turkish Red Crescent intervened.
The father and daughter were evacuated from Syria by the Turkish authorities and brought to Istanbul for treatment at a specialised clinic.
Mohammed received prosthetic limbs as well, but admits that he isn't yet as steady on them as his daughter.
Sitting on a foam mattress, his daughter unwraps the artificial legs and attaches them.
"To begin with, there were difficulties getting used to them," says her uncle Hussein, who accompanied his brother and niece to Turkey.
"All of a sudden she found herself up high on the new prosthetics."

Carpenter v. United States, 138 S.Ct. 2206 (2018), is a landmark United States Supreme Court case concerning the privacy of historical cell site location information (CSLI). The Court held that the government violates the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution when it accesses historical CSLI records containing the physical locations of cellphones without a search warrant.

Prior to Carpenter, government entities could obtain cellphone location records by claiming the information was required as part of an investigation. After Carpenter, government entities are required to obtain a search warrant to access that information. Recognizing the influence of new consumer communications devices in the 2010s, the Court expanded its conceptions of constitutional rights toward the privacy of this type of data. However, the Court emphasized that the Carpenter ruling was narrowly restricted to the precise types of information and search procedures that were relevant to Carpenter's complaint.

Background

Cell site location information (CSLI)
Cellular telephone service providers are able to find the location of cell phones through either global positioning system (GPS) data or cell site location information (CSLI), in the process of connecting calls and data transmissions. CSLI is captured by nearby cell towers, and this information is used to triangulate the location of phones. Service providers capture and store this data for business purposes, such as troubleshooting, maximizing network efficiencies, and determining whether to charge customers roaming fees for particular calls.

The data can also illustrate the historical movements of a cellphone. Thus, anyone with access to this data has the ability to know where the phone has been and what other cell phones were in the same area at a given time. When users travel with their cellphones, this data can theoretically illustrate every place a person has traveled, and possibly other people encountered via their corresponding data.

The third-party doctrine
Prior to Carpenter, the Supreme Court consistently held that a person had no reasonable expectation of privacy in regard to information voluntarily turned over to third parties such as telephone companies, and therefore a search warrant is not required when government officials seek this information. This legal theory is known as the third-party doctrine, established by the Supreme Court in Smith v. Maryland (1979), in which the Court determined that government can obtain a list of phone numbers dialed from a suspect's phone.

By the 2010s, cellphones and particularly smartphones had become important tools for nearly every person in the United States. Many applications, such as GPS navigation and location tools, require a cellphone to send and receive information constantly, including the exact location of the phone. As technology advanced in the 2010s, the Supreme Court began to modify its precedents on government searches of personal communications devices, given new consumer behaviors that may transcend the third-party doctrine.

Facts of the case
Between December 2010 and March 2011, several individuals in the Detroit, Michigan area conspired and participated in armed robberies at RadioShack and T-Mobile stores across the region. In April 2011, four of the robbers were captured and arrested. The petitioner, Timothy Carpenter, was not among the initial group of arrestees. One of those arrested confessed and turned over his phone so that FBI agents could review the calls made from his phone around the time of the robberies. The agents obtained a search warrant to inspect the information in the phone, in order to find additional contacts of the arrestee and compile more evidence about the crime ring.

From the historical cell-site records, the agents confirmed that Timothy Carpenter was also part of the crime ring, and proceeded to compile information about the location of his phone over 127 days. In turn, this information revealed that Carpenter had been within a two-mile radius of four robberies at the times they were perpetrated. This evidence was used to support Carpenter's arrest. At criminal court, Carpenter was found guilty of several counts of aiding and abetting robberies that affected interstate commerce and another count of using a firearm during a violent crime. He was sentenced to 116 years in prison.

Appeal at the Sixth Circuit
Carpenter appealed his conviction and sentence to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, arguing that the CSLI evidence used against him should be suppressed because the police had not obtained a warrant before searching through it. In 2015, the Circuit Court upheld Carpenter's conviction. This ruling was largely based on the Smith v. Maryland precedent, stating that Carpenter used cellular telephone networks voluntarily, and per the third-party doctrine he had no realistic expectation that the data should be private. Thus, review of that information by the police did not constitute a "search" and did not require a warrant under the Fourth Amendment.

Carpenter appealed this ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, which granted certiorari in 2016.

Opinion of the court

Twenty amicus curiae briefs were filed by interested organizations, scholars, and corporations for Carpenter's case. Some considered the case to be the most important Fourth Amendment dispute to come before the Supreme Court in a generation. The Court issued its decision in 2018, with the majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts.

The Court's ruling recognized that the Carpenter case revealed a contradiction between two Supreme Court precedents on the matter of police searches of personal communications information. In United States v. Jones (2012) the Court had ruled that GPS tracking could constitute a search under the Fourth Amendment as a violation of a person's reasonable expectation of privacy. Meanwhile, the Court had held in Smith v. Maryland (1979) that the third-party doctrine absolved the government from warrant requirements when searching through telephone records.

Ultimately, in Carpenter the court determined that the third-party doctrine could not be extended to historical cell site location information (CSLI). Instead, the Court compared "detailed, encyclopedic, and effortlessly compiled" CSLI records to the GPS information at issue in United States v. Jones, recognizing that both forms of data accord the government the ability to track individuals' past movements. Furthermore, the Court noted that CSLI could pose even greater privacy risks than GPS data, as the prevalence of cellphones could accord the government "near perfect surveillance" of an individual's movements. Accordingly, the Court ruled that, under the Fourth Amendment, the government must obtain a search warrant in order to access historical CSLI records. Roberts argued that technology "has afforded law enforcement a powerful new tool to carry out its important responsibilities. At the same time, this tool risks Government encroachment of the sort the Framers [of the US Constitution], after consulting the lessons of history, drafted the Fourth Amendment to prevent." As stated in the opinion, "Unlike the nosy neighbor who keeps an eye on comings and goings, they [new technologies] are ever alert, and their memory is nearly infallible. There is a world of difference between the limited types of personal information addressed in Smith [...] and the exhaustive chronicle of location information casually collected by wireless carriers today."

However, Roberts stressed that the Carpenter decision was a very narrow one and did not affect other parts of the third-party doctrine, such as banking records. Similarly, he noted that the decision did not prevent the collection of CSLI without a warrant in cases of emergency or for issues of national security.

Dissenting opinions
Justice Anthony Kennedy, in a dissenting opinion, cautioned against the limitations on law enforcement inherent in the majority opinion. According to Kennedy, the ruling "places undue restrictions on the lawful and necessary enforcement powers exercised not only by the Federal Government, but also by law enforcement in every State and locality throughout the Nation. Adherence to this Court's longstanding precedents and analytic framework would have been the proper and prudent way to resolve this case."

In another dissent, Justice Samuel Alito wrote: "I fear that today's decision will do far more harm than good. The Court's reasoning fractures two fundamental pillars of Fourth Amendment law, and in doing so, it guarantees a blizzard of litigation while threatening many legitimate and valuable investigative practices upon which law enforcement has rightfully come to rely." In yet another dissent, Justice Neil Gorsuch agreed with most of the majority opinion but stressed that CSLI data is personal property, and its storage by telephone companies should be immaterial. According to Gorsuch, the Fourth Amendment "grants you the right to invoke its guarantees whenever one of your protected things (your person, your house, your papers, or your effects) is unreasonably searched or seized. Period." Gorsuch further recommended that the third-party doctrine be overturned as inconsistent with the original meaning of the Fourth Amendment.

Impact and subsequent developments
After the Supreme Court ruling, Carpenter's criminal conviction was remanded to the Sixth Circuit to determine if it could stand without the CSLI data that required a warrant per the Supreme Court. Carpenter's lawyers argued that the data should have been subject to the exclusionary rule and thrown out as material collected without a proper warrant under the Supreme Court's ruling. However, the Circuit Court judges concluded that the FBI was acting in good faith with respect to collecting the data based on the law at the time the crimes were committed. This type of good faith exemption is permitted per another Supreme Court precedent, Davis v. United States. The evidence was allowed to stand, and the Sixth Circuit again upheld Carpenter's criminal conviction and prison sentence.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court's ruling in Carpenter was very narrow and did not otherwise change the third-party doctrine related to other business records that might incidentally reveal location information, nor did it overrule prior decisions concerning conventional surveillance techniques and tools such as security cameras. The Court did not extend its ruling to other matters related to cellphones not presented in Carpenter, including real-time CSLI or "tower dumps" (the downloading of information about all the devices that connected to a particular cell site during a particular interval). The opinion also did not consider other data collection goals involving foreign affairs or national security.

NEW YORK – Chancellor Carmen Fariña today announced the creation of a new Office of Community Schools. The new office reflects New York City's commitment and investment in the transformative community schools model – a pillar of Mayor de Blasio and Chancellor Fariña's education agenda that supports the social, emotional, physical, and academic needs of students. Christopher Caruso will lead the office's efforts to establish 128 community schools across all five boroughs as its Executive Director.
Community Schools offer a coordinated approach to improving students' academic performance through strong partnerships among principals, parents, teachers and Community Based Organizations (CBOs). Schools enter into a partnership with a local CBO to offer a "whole child, whole community" approach, looking holistically at students, families and communities to ascertain their most pressing needs and decide which services will best address those needs.
The new Office of Community Schools will centralize resources and expertise to support a network of 128 community schools across all five boroughs. Specifically, Caruso and his staff will coordinate with schools and community partners to develop tailored supports to improve each school, including: social services; counseling and mental health supports; and expanded learning opportunities. Ninety-four of the community schools have been established under the School Renewal Program, aimed at turning around New York City's struggling schools. The new Office of Community Schools will work within the Division of School Support under the guidance of Senior Deputy Chancellor Dorita Gibson.
Chris Caruso joins the Department of Education from TASC, where he oversaw the organization's expanded learning portfolio since 2011 as Senior Vice President of ExpandED Schools. At TASC, he supported a network of 40 schools in three cities – including New York City – as they helped to close the opportunity gap by expanding the school day, partnering with community organizations, and enhancing the quality of learning. From 2005 to 2010, Caruso served as Assistant Commissioner of New York City's Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD). He helped launch the City's Out of School Time (OST) initiative, collaborating across agencies and with 175 community-based organizations to create the country's largest municipal afterschool system serving 80,000 young people each day.
Prior to his time as Assistant Commissioner, Caruso was DYCD's budget director. He has also been a budget supervisor for the City's Human Resources Administration/Department of Social Services, and started his career as a program director for The Children's Aid Society Community School at P.S. 8 in Washington Heights. In addition to his work in the public and nonprofit sectors, Caruso is the founding Board Chair of Friends of WHEELS, an organization supporting a high-performing Washington Heights public high school. Caruso also served on District 27's Community Education Council in Queens from 2009-2011 and was selected to the Annie E. Casey Foundation's Children and Family Fellowship in 2010.


The computer community security encompasses the policies and procedures adopted by the network directors to observe and stop any form of unauthorized entry, modification, or misuse of accessible resources. Cyber criminals create public Wi-Fis in public areas in order that they will view data, including usernames and passwords, and steal your info. It analyzes huge mobile, software and transaction data, in actual-time, to effectively detect fraud and dynamically step up security to stop fraudulent transactions, enhancing the shopper experience and defeating sophisticated fraud.
But while you rent a security guard company, how often can you see whether or not the guard company is doing their job which includes running background checks and drug screenings, offering good coaching on your guards, and effectively monitoring and supervising your guards.

Symptoms of Atrial Fibrillation
By Joseph Bennington-CastroMedically Reviewed by Robert Jasmer, MD
Reviewed: July 21, 2016
Afib can cause heart palpitations, fatigue, and chest pain, among other symptoms.
Atrial fibrillation, or afib, results from an abnormal firing of electrical signals, which causes the atria (upper heart chambers) to quiver rapidly (fibrillate) instead of contracting completely.
These electrical signals also cause the atria and ventricles (lower chambers of the heart) to beat rapidly or out of sync, potentially causing symptoms.
Afib Symptoms
Some people with afib don't experience any noticeable symptoms and don't realize their heart isn't beating in a normal pattern.
Symptoms of afib can include:
Rapid or irregular heartbeat
Heart palpitations (feeling like your heart is fluttering, pounding, or "skipping a beat")
Weakness, especially during exercise
Abnormal sweating
Some of these symptoms are caused by the ventricles pumping out blood at irregular intervals to the lungs and the rest of the body.
Afib Complications
Left untreated, afib can lead to blood clots, stroke, and heart failure.
Normally, the heart's left and right atrium pump blood into the left and right ventricle, which then pump blood into the lungs, and to the rest of the body, respectively.
But afib can prevent the atria from fully contracting and pumping all of their blood into the ventricles, causing blood to pool in the atria.
The pooled blood can lead to the formation of a blood clot, or thrombus.
If the clot breaks off, it can travel through the bloodstream (becoming what's known as an embolus) and block an artery in the brain, causing stroke. It can also block other major arteries — for example, in the abdomen, leading to a poor or absent blood flow to the intestines.
Afib increases a person's risk of stroke by four to six times, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
Also, in people with afib, the ventricles contract and relax too quickly to completely fill with blood.
As a result, the ventricles don't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, and blood pressure plummets — ultimately causing heart failure.
Symptoms of heart failure include fatigue and shortness of breath. These symptoms develop because blood gets backed up in the pulmonary veins, causing fluid to accumulate in the lungs.
Afib Diagnosis
Your doctor will diagnose afib based on your medical and family history, a physical exam, and various tests.
Your doctor will ask you a series of questions to better understand your current health status and risk for afib, including questions about your:
Personal and family history of heart-related health problems and other health issues, such as lung disease, diabetes, and thyroid problems
Personal habits, such as how often you smoke, drink alcohol, or consume caffeine
Your doctor will then conduct a physical exam, including listening to the rhythm and rate of your heartbeat with a stethoscope and taking your blood pressure.
Your doctor will also listen to your lungs (for evidence of heart failure) and check for symptoms related to thyroid issues, such as fluid retention.
An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) is the most useful and common test to diagnose afib. This test records the electrical activity of your heart, and can accurately determine the rate and rhythm of your heartbeat.
But because an EKG only records your heart activity for a few seconds, it can't detect afib that repeatedly starts and stops suddenly, which is called paroxysmal afib.
If your doctor suspects you may have paroxysmal afib, you'll need to wear a special heart monitor, such a Holter monitor (which records activity for 24 to 48 hours) or an event monitor (which records for several weeks).

A Monroe man has been arrested and charged with stealing thousands of dollars' worth of items from his former employer, the Viking Lumber Company in Lincolnville.
State Police, Game Wardens, and Maine Drug Enforcement Agents searched a home on Back Brooks Road in Monroe, owned by Ryan Weaver (32). The search was the result of an employee theft investigation from Viking Lumber, which started earlier in the month. Authorities found stolen building material, new power tools including routers, drills, a laser transit, and a lawn mower at Weaver's home. Several chainsaws from the lumber company had previously been recovered from various pawn shops around Maine.
Weaver was charged with felony receiving stolen property and possessing hypodermic apparatus. His girlfriend, Maranda McCafferty (31) who lives at his home, was also arrested and charged with violating conditions of release and possession of schedule W drugs. The investigation continues and additional charges are likely.


Hey guys Im having trouble putting together my deck.
Im essentially trying to transition the Landorus/Zygarde/Regirock idea into the new GX meta.
Ive foregone the carbink engine/hawlucha/fighting stadium package since while EXs are still prominent, GXs is slowly on the rise.
Right now its 4 regirocks and 4 skyfields to give you a picture of what the deck is like. What I want to know is: when would you want to have Landorus, Lucario or Zygarde available in the early, middle and end stages of the game? This will ultimately decide how many of each I run which is my end question here.
My understanding is that Landorus is probably the one you want to start with since his first attack is fast and has the best secondary effect of 30 bench dmg. Lucario doesnt seem much better than Zygarde asides from the utility of his second attack and zygarde is just a bit better.
The list looks pretty good. With korrina, you don't need hoopa, and you might want 4-4 energy set. Landoris was mostly played with bats, and lucario never really took of. I would suggest 3-2-0 xygarde landorus lucario set, 3 seems too clunky.
ex or not because that matters.
Thanks for the feedback man, whats the reasoning behind the 4-4 energy set? I am tempted to do that but not sure what a good justification would be.
If I wanted to run hoopa, should I run less korrina? Hoopas mainly there to get a burst of regirocks and shaymins. That being said, if I ran both hoopa and korrina should I take out a heavy ball.
Remember, Lando saw play, but dropped off when Zygarde was released. Mathematically, Lando gets 60 dmg instead of 40 with an energy. For three energy you do 80, but can't increase it unless you set yourself back too far to catch up again. Zygarde sees play because Zygarde has high hp, can do about 80 dmg for two energy (one strong) and heal itself. Lando is good, but with very little use late game, I don't think it's worth it. If you want hoopa, take out one korrina and heavy ball. The energy I figured didn't need to be that high, both counts work fine.
Hmm thats fair. Whats the general strategy between Lando and Zygarde? When do you want which? Any other additions in terms of pokemon that would be good?
I wanted to ask about some specific card choices. Would Nest Ball at all good or is the hoopa, korrinas and 4 ultras enough? Its number of available targets is no larger than that of Heavy ball but I figured I'd ask.
Also I noticed many decks only run 1 N and my supporter count is quite high with 1 of Pokemon center lady, Colress and AZ. What decks run more than one N? I mostly want to see it late game so even if its prized early I feel Ill run into it when I need it (however I dont understand the meta/balance of this game enough to claim that).
Yeah, hoopa alone sets up most of your field, with korrina and ultra balls being fine. I think the supporters are fine, maybe takout AZ. I think you want 4 vs seekers, but that's just my idea. Lando is if you want quick, early pressure, and Zygarde for mid/late game.
Awesome, thanks for all your help man.
I may test 2-2 Lando-Zygarde and 1 Lucario to see if his drawing utility ever helps midlate game.

One things that may be an improvement now that we are knee deep in the GX era is the use of LycnarockGX midday and midnight and other newer cards. brookett hill is a good one to add even in expanded to pull cards out.

View From the Hill By Keith Beardsley – Thoughts of Inside a War Room SEPT 10, 2015
It is no secret that at the moment the Conservative campaign appears to be in trouble and there are plenty of calls for them to hit the reset button. Declining poll numbers are just one of many signs of that happening along with rumours of infighting and incompetence. Some of this will be true, much of it exaggerated as frustrated workers and staff clash.
My own experience is that it is around week four of pretty much every campaign that the cracks begin to show. And that is with a regular campaign, not a long distance marathon of 78 days.
At that point in time, the war room staff are surviving on as little as 3-4 hours of sleep a day, they are running on coffee, caffeine and carbohydrate loaded food. At the same time leaders are tired and cranky. Mistakes occur, obvious items such as the UK salmon or Crater Lake are missed and sometimes defining moments are misinterpreted or decisions are made to plow through, stay the course and hope it will go away- the refugee issue could be one of those moments.
We don't know who is in each of the party war rooms, that information is kept pretty much away from the press, but generally the vast majority are young IE in their 20's and early 30's- staff from the Hill for the most part. You need these young, energetic people as the pace is exhausting.
For those who think a war room is 5-6 people, it is much more than that when you add in all the regional desks, candidate liaison people, rapid response, issue management, communication and tour staff. Usually there is also a core group of more senior people. In the 2005-06 election we had our own separate room which we jokingly called the old fart gang and stuck a name on the door for Fast Action Response Team. In effect senior experienced staff who added some adult supervision to what went on and who the leader and campaign manager could consult on the developing issues of the day.
Every leader, every campaign manager, every worker/staffer has strengths and weaknesses. The secret is how they are blended and mixed together to create a well-oiled machine. You don't have to like the person you are working beside (although it helps), but you have to be able to work together and trust the other persons advice and views on an issue. You can't have all "yes" people as that is a disaster waiting to happen and that extends from the bottom to the top. There has to be some who can speak truth to power regardless of the consequences if there is going to be balanced advice on an issue.
After being in campaign mode for these many days every party will know which of their war room staff can measure up and survive the long exhausting trip to the finish line. There will be some rotation as fresh blood is brought in and tired and exhausted staff relieved. That is usually done quietly and is rarely played out in the media.
The real campaign is just beginning; the push to the finish line is on. All of the parties will have saved key issues that are designed to embarrass their opponents for this moment in the campaign. We used to call them bombs or channel changers. Well researched attack items that were often held back for months and designed to derail our opponent's campaign and get them off message. We will see who has the best research team in the next few weeks.
You would be foolish to count the Conservatives as out of the game for first place. Harper is an experienced campaigner, he knows how to pace himself and as the pace picks up and the pressure and media scrutiny of the Liberals and NDP mount they will make mistakes. Just as the refugee crisis seemingly came out of nowhere (even though present for years) we have plenty of time of other major issues to develop that can derail any one of the campaigns.
Unless you have been there, you can't imagine what the staff in all of the party war rooms is going through. Their dedication and work will never be recognized as the accolades go to the leaders, but they are an essential part of every election campaign. A tip of the hat to all of them.

Furtz says:
Canadians have seen ten years of Harper rule and ten years of election fraud and cheating. They've seen ten years of sleaze and underhanded nastiness and even a vetted and approved Con candidate pissing in a someone's coffee mug! Pretty hard to recover from that. The Cons are circling the drain and it must be dizzying.
Hugger1 says:
Aren't elections fun? All I've done so far has narrowed it down to the Green Party candidate, Liberal Party candidate and the NDP candidate. I'm going to have to do some reading on these folks. The only thing I've decided is that I won't vote for the Cons. In fact, I don't think I've ever voted for a Conservative candidate in a federal election. But I'm leaning towards not seeing the Green Party as an option. Elizabeth May may be a great politician. But politicians cannot have meltdowns and / or drunken meltdowns.
I'm sure whom I'll vote for will become clearer in the next month or so.
Harpoon Harpo made plenty of mistakes and yes I admit that but all politicians are as crooked as the dog's hind leg and all cheat and steel elections and money and all kinds of horrible crimes that you would never imagine possible. Of all three candidates Harpoon Harpo is still the best among them. I laugh and poke fun at all three and none are fit anywhere in the entire world. Obama isn't fit at president – this was a joke to have in power. Thank God Canada is not a power because all three would look like something out of the three stooges.
Seriously Jules?? Harper has for the last ten years told the country to bend over and take it up the rump. I don't know whom should be PM, but I do know it isn't Stephen Harper. He is a control freak and it's time he's stopped.
Harpoon Harpo reminds me of Pierre Trudeau and his arrogant ways and Pierre had the personality to lead. Many of us including myself don't care for Harpoon Harpo except for that he is the only one who can lead Canada among those three stooges. There has to be controls or else things get out of hand. We all want things but we can only go so far and then trouble sets in. Canada is in much worse shape than what the sheeple know about.
Controls? Harper doesn't care about controls. He's done what he's wanted for ten years. He passes laws knowing fully well that they are illegal. Control freak much?? Yes, time for him and his cronies to be swept under the rug.
Don't forget, Hugger, that the Liberals propped up the Harper Cons for the six years that Harper had minority rule. The Libs were too busy infighting to do their job as Official Opposition. They really let Canada down when we needed them to oppose the Cons. There's a good reason why they became the third party.

About Esomeprazole Strontium Delayed-Release Capsules 49.3 mg6:
Esomeprazole Strontium Delayed-Release Capsules 49.3 mg is indicated for adults:
for the short-term treatment (4-8 weeks) of heartburn and other symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and/or in healing and symptomatic resolution of erosive esophagitis (EE).
to reduce the risk of stomach ulcers in some people taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (controlled studies did not extend beyond 6 months).
in combination with amoxicillin 1000 mg and clarithromycin 500 mg is indicated for the treatment of patients with a stomach infection (Helicobacter pylori) and duodenal ulcer disease.
is indicated for the long-term treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions, including Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
Important Safety Information about Esomeprazole Strontium Delayed-Release Capsules 49.3 mg:
Esomeprazole strontium is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to proton pump inhibitors. For information about contraindications of antibacterial agents (clarithromycin and amoxicillin) indicated in combination with esomeprazole strontium, refer to the contraindications section of their package inserts.
Symptomatic response to therapy does not rule out the presence of gastric malignancy. Consider additional follow-up and diagnostic testing in adult patients who have a suboptimal response or an early symptomatic relapse after completing treatment with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). In older patients, also consider an endoscopy.
Acute interstitial nephritis has been observed in patients taking PPIs. Discontinue esomeprazole strontium if acute interstitial nephritis develop.
PPI therapy may be associated with increased risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. This diagnosis should be considered for diarrhea that does not improve.
PPI therapy may be associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine. The risk of fracture was increased in patients who received high-dose (multiple daily doses) and long-term (a year or longer) therapy.
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been reported in patients taking PPIs, including esomeprazole. These events included both new onset and exacerbations. If signs or symptoms consistent with CLE or SLE are noted with esomeprazole strontium, discontinue and refer the patient to a specialist. Most patients improve with discontinuation of the PPI alone in 4 to 12 weeks.
Avoid concomitant use of esomeprazole strontium with clopidogrel, due to a reduction in plasma concentrations of the active metabolite of clopidogrel. When using esomeprazole strontium consider alternative anti-platelet therapy.
Daily treatment with any acid-suppressing medications over a long period of time (e.g., longer than 3 years) may lead to malabsorption of cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12). Rare reports of cyanocobalamin deficiency occurring with acid-suppressing therapy have been reported in the literature.
Hypomagnesemia has been reported rarely with prolonged treatment with PPI therapy and may require discontinuing PPI therapy.
Concomitant use of esomeprazole strontium and St. John's wort or rifampin can substantially decrease esomeprazole strontium concentrations. Avoid concomitant use.
Literature suggests that concomitant use of PPIs with methotrexate (primarily at high dose; see methotrexate prescribing information) may elevate and prolong serum levels of methotrexate and/or its metabolite, possibly leading to methotrexate toxicities. In high-dose methotrexate administration, a temporary withdrawal of the PPI may be considered in some patients.
Concomitant use of esomeprazole strontium and atazanavir or nelfinavir is not recommended. esomeprazole strontium is expected to increase the plasma levels of saquinavir. Consider dose reduction of saquinavir.
Patients treated with PPIs and warfarin concomitantly may need to be monitored for increases in INR and prothrombin time. Esomeprazole may interfere with the absorption of drugs for which gastric pH affects bioavailability (e.g., ketoconazole, iron salts, erlotinib, digoxin and mycophenolate mofetil).
Esomeprazole strontium may increase systemic exposure of cilostazol and one of its active metabolites. Consider dose reduction of cilastozol.
In adults, adverse reactions (ARs) reported at a frequency of 1% or greater with esomeprazole strontium include headache, diarrhea, nausea, flatulence, abdominal pain, constipation, and dry mouth.
Safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole strontium have not been established in pediatric patients. Not recommended for use in pediatric patients.
Safety of esomeprazole strontium have not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment. Not recommended for use in patients with severe renal impairment.
Talk to your doctor or healthcare professional. Please see Prescribing information including Medication Guide for Esomeprazole Strontium Delayed-Release Capsules at https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/fda/fdaDrugXsl.cfm?setid=53240ab5-98e7-4050-b640-e09c1271899a&type=display
About Donnatal®:
Donnatal® (Phenobarbital, Hyoscyamine Sulfate, Atropine Sulfate, Scopolamine Hydrobromide), a prescription drug, is classified as possibly effective as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (irritable colon, spastic colon, mucous colitis) and acute enterocolitis. Donnatal® slows the natural movements of the gut by relaxing the muscles in the stomach and intestines. Donnatal® comes in two formulations: immediate release Donnatal® Tablets and immediate release Donnatal® Elixir, a fast-acting liquid.
Important Safety Information about Donnatal®:
Donnatal® is contraindicated in patients who have glaucoma, obstructive uropathy, obstructive disease of the gastrointestinal tract, paralytic ileus, unstable cardiovascular status, severe ulcerative colitis, myasthenia gravis, hiatal hernia with reflux esophagitis, or known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or who have autonomic neuropathy, hepatic or renal disease, hyperthyroidism, coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, tachycardia or hypertension should notify their doctor before taking Donnatal®.

Chilis for this winters soups and stews in FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!
Bringing them inside before this years first rain tonight.
Let the chili season begin!
Nothing better than a bowl of chili on a cold day. Are those mild, wild, or YIKES?
These are really mild with lots of richness. We made chicken stew tonight with a hand full of these dried chilis and a few fresh hot ones -delicious ! All summer long roasted fresh from the garden was a luxury.
I've got my seedlings in. Trying a makeshift greenhouse at a friends farm. Where I live is marginal for growing chillies. If we get a good year, they do OK, if it's a cool spring and summer, not so good. So I have re-roofed an old pig pen with clear roof, and set up an irrigation system. If it works, we have have about an acre old old pig sheds we can repurpose. But that's a bigger investment.
And I've planted a mix of relatively tame Jalapeno, up to Trinidad Scorpions. Will do some "market research" with this years (hopeful) crop.
The plants my friend started early have been a bit disappointing. That may have been over use of aphid spray, which only made the aphids mad, and almost killed the plants. The later plants in pots have done better and I've settled into controlling the bugs with a regular cold water spray. Seems to work well once the plants get tall enough to discourage them from crawling back up again.
Got the Bhut Jolokias with good fruit on them now.
And a three year old Birdseye plant that's survived 2 Winters on the window sill is loaded after being repotted.
This years window sill Birdseye plant is already 3 ft high, and has about a dozen fruit on it already. It's a bit spindly compared to an outdoor plant, but it's flowering and fruiting, so I'm going to call that a success.
Roger that on the opposite seasons-I'm planting carrots and lettuce right now with night temps hitting 19 F. Your choice of chilies is terrific and I'm jealous !
I am adding my home made hot sauce that I made from Carolina Reapers to the chili we had just yesterday. It is warm here right now, but it has been pretty chili . I winterized my plants so they will probably start blooming again in a month or so. I planted them from seed last year and they did really well. I also use the dried cayannes I dehydrated a lot in the same types of meals.
Daytime temps have been getting up over 85F for most of the last week. Chillies are liking that.
Even the latest plants that I grew from seed are starting to flower, and some of the larger ones that I bought as seedlings are loaded with fruit now.
Jalapeno's are the edge of pain for me.
Some times this side of it, some times the other side of it.
I plant 4 bushes most every year. I usually get enough to last all winter. They freeze very well.
2 years ago they produced an incredible amount of peppers. So much that I didn't plant any last year and I still have a couple of bags in the freezer and they are really hot!
I noticed that the first ones that I pick are very mild and as the season goes on they produce hotter and hotter peppers. If the temperatures are in the 90s and we have a lack of rain they seem to love it and produce the hottest peppers.
Maybe it's the camera angle but it looks like that wing needs a little more cooking!
Good eye . Just cold from the refer.
Good idea to wait. We have snow on the ground also and won't plant chilis until May.
It's interesting that the first plants that we started over winter in a friends glasshouse did the poorest. They seemed to "stall" in the cool early spring weather, and never really took off the same when the weather warmed up. Later plants that I started from seed here at home in late Spring have grown the best, and one "Birdseye" that I left growing in a small pot on the end of the kitchen table is the first to have ripe fruit. I had to move it out to the shed after we adopted 3 terrorist kittens that try and destroy anything in a pot. Checking yesterday it has about 100 small (but tasty) fruit on it, with the first ones ripening now. I figure the warmer overnight temps in the house helped it, and it passed all the earlier plants in the greenhouse.
Greens are growing great right now! Brush the snow off and they just won't die. Gotta love it.
Birdseye from a 3 year old window sill plant that's still fruiting.
Some random yellows (mild) that my buddy grew.
This years window sill plant, Thai hybrid birdseye. About 100 of these tasty little morsels on this biggest plant.
It is really interesting how the same chili can taste so different from green, to ripe, to dried. Good looking batch of spice you are growing there !
Yes, very tasty ! Stores here have them in both oil and water based recipes depending on country of origin- a favorite at our table.
Chillies are starting to ripen. The wrinkly ones are Bhut Jolokia, almost as hot as Trinidad Scorpions. Some little Thai Birdseyes (small but tasty) and a stray Jalapeno that got knocked off by the watering hose.
Some Cucumber and Jalapeno relish I made the other night. Recipe called for a couple of capsicums, but I substituted a dozen green Jalapenos instead. Not crazy hot, just a bit of zing to add to a cold meat sandwich.
You are making my mouth water !!
Jalapeno poppers aren't a "thing" in NZ, but I'd seen them online, looked up a recipe, and gave them a go.
Most excellent, even the kids liked them.
Some pics of the end of the winter garden. Next month I will start seeds for my peppers and other summer goodies.
Try them with crab mix, more most excellent.
Chicken looks Yum Tule! I've been on the piri, piri or african birdseye kick for the last couple of years, hot but very tasty. I remember the first time I tried one, figured how hot can this cute little red chili be and ate the whole chili. Lord!
Good in stews and spaghetti. Its Red Bay.

Which Swimming Stroke is Good For My Back?
Which swimming stroke is good for my back? I always use breast stroke but understand crawl is better for my lower back. I try crawl but my legs ache and I cannot get far with a proper motion going. I am 70yrs old and have swum since 6yrs old. I want to keep fit and find walking my dogs and swimming the best way. Do you think I need lessons?
Front crawl is not the only swimming stroke that will take pressure away from your lower back. In fact there are a few ways of swimming that will help compliment your breaststroke.
Before you go spending money on swimming lessons try some of the following suggestions.
Swimming on your back is a great alternative to breaststroke and is better for the lower back. You do not have to swim full stroke backstroke, using the arms and all that. You could just swim on your back with your arms by your sides, using your hands to gentle paddle under the water. If you are still unsure then using a float or a swim woggle under your arms will help give you confidence.
Many people make the mistake of kicking too much when swimming front crawl and the result is your aching tired legs. The majority of propulsion for front crawl comes from the arm action and even that does not have to be fast.
Try your front crawl placing less emphasis on the leg kick and more on the arms, but perform the stroke slowly. You may find you will go further without really trying.
You can also try swimming breaststroke but placing less emphasis on the leg kick. Although this is technically incorrect, the fact that you are swimming and doing some exercise is more important. The goal here is to keep fit, not to qualify for the Olympics.
Breaststroke can place pressure on the lower back in two ways. Firstly the powerful whip action leg kick places a slight impact and compression on the lower spine. Secondly the body position is at a slight angle rather than flat like front crawl and backstroke, which places an unnatural arch at the lower back.
legs out further and higher behind you.
You do not have to eliminate breaststroke completely from your swimming. Maybe just reduce the amount of breaststroke you swim and replace some of your lengths with some of my suggestions above.
Our best-selling book The Complete Guide To Simple Swimming contains over 80 separate swimming exercises to help all parts of basic swimming. You can download it, print out the parts you need and take them to your pool to try out. Click the link below for more information.
Please advise as to which swimming stroke would be back friendly,as I have had back surgery?
Without knowing the exact details of your back surgery it is difficult to accurately advise you.
Whatever swimming stroke or exercise you decide to try, consult your physician or back consultant before you swim.
First of all avoid swimming breaststroke at all costs. This will not be good for your back.
If your surgery is recent then you need to be swimming for rehabilitation. Therefore it is not necessary to swim a complete stroke (ie using arm and legs). Swimming on your back, just gently kicking your legs will be great therapy for your back.
Download the 'Kicking Holding Floats Under Each Arm' and 'Kicking with Hands Sculling'. These are gentle exercises that will help.
If you are swimming for exercise purposes then Front Crawl and Backstroke are the most back friendly.
You can download our ebook How To Swim Front Crawl, that contains everything you need to know, as well as 22 different exercises to help you perfect each part of the swimming stroke. Click below to find out more.
You can also download our Backstroke book How To Swim Backstroke, that contains everything you need to know, as well as exercises to help you perfect each part of the swimming stroke. Click below to find out more.

Day 7 : Who is the Lord?

Every earthly thing can be wrong today, but these things that describe the Lord–they never change. He never changes. In the midst of whatever is wearying my soul, I need only to think upon the character of the Lord and my soul can bless Him.
