A response to Ben Stein
The following annotations are meta-commentary on Ben Stein's recent article in Forbes.
Speed up the decay of the school system—introduce voucher schemes to divert the money that would otherwise be spent on education, and funnel it into religious organizations. Discourage the teaching of science by introducing mandatory "Creationism" lessons, and putting confusing disclaimers on science textbooks. Send your children to private schools.
Enshrine a thoroughly corrupt electoral system, in which corporations fund the politicians, and the politicians then give the money back to the corporations in exchange for airtime and media space. This will ensure that policy is decided by corporations, not voters. This in turn means that voters will need to turn to the judicial system rather than the legislative system as a means for enacting social reform and policy change.
Make sure tobacco corporations, junk food vendors, biochem multinationals and NRA wingnuts own enough politicians to block any legislation that would reduce the wilful and unnecessary damage to people and society that they cause. This will leave them free to sell single servings of food that contain more than a day's saturated fat and sodium, load cigarettes with unnecessary levels of addictive nicotine, sell drugs that haven't been tested for long enough to ensure safety, skip the sale of safe acetaminophen in favor of the more profitable unsafe kind, feed people unnecessarily genetically modified foods, and otherwise screw the public over to increase profits. This will force people who want to do anything about the problem to engage in expensive, vicious and protracted lawsuits. Make sure you portray these people as greedy money-grabbing scumbags, and ignore the fact that a multi-million-dollar settlement is chump change for any major corporation.
Make sure the people who get rich are lawyers, economists and actors. Make sure they're the kind of cunning Machiavellians who would write fawning letters in praise of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger.
Again, make sure corporations own government and electoral reform is blocked. This will ensure that criminal CEOs get off with a little slap on the wrist, and provide us with an endless supply of robber barons from Bill Gates to Ken Lay.
Pass stupid and vicious anti-drug legislation. Confiscate innocent people's property, refuse to spend money on drug treatment for addicts, lock up people who smoke pot, and deny people the right to take responsibility for their own choices. Pass legislation which makes it illegal for people to watch the DVD movies they've paid for, or lend CDs to a friend. Make sure all these laws are unenforceable. This will encourage disrespect for the law.
Equate sex and violence, as though they were in some way comparable evils. Ignore that sex is a good and natural part of every person's life, a positive force; treat it like violence, as something that damages people and should be suppressed. That goes double for same-sex sexual activity, of course. Block spending on contraception to try and discourage safe sexual activity and make it more dangerous, maybe that'll get people to see it as a danger to society.
Prevent gay and lesbian couples in long-term relationships from having children, while encouraging heterosexuals to breed no matter how unfit they are as parents. In fact, why not follow the model of Florida and say that even mixed-gender bisexual couples are unfit to have children? This will make sure there are plenty of divorced heterosexual single parents and children living in broken families, even though there are plenty of stable, loving families who would like to adopt.
Use immigration to import cheap highly educated workers and reduce wages, while at the same time treating foreign countries as a resource to be plundered. This will ensure that the smart people leave foreign countries, and the ones left behind hate us.
Increase the income gap between rich and poor. Sure, it's bigger in the USA than in any other western nation, but it's still not big enough. Campaign against redistributive taxation. Encourage tax cuts for rich dead people, ignoring that the "death tax" only hits million-dollar estates, only hits those who fail to take personal responsibility and plan for the passing on of their assets, and above all ignore that the people inheriting huge amounts of wealth did nothing to deserve that wealth in the first place. The sooner we can get rid of inheritance taxes and move to a feudal system of inherited wealth, the better!
Pretend that the failures of the US medical system are caused by some imaginary straw man called "socialized medicine". This will hopefully pull the wool over Americans' eyes enough that they won't notice that every other western nation has a state-run healthcare system that works fine, while in America 40% of people have absolutely no healthcare coverage whatsoever. Tell the people who can't afford necessary medication and treatment that it would be even more expensive under a state-run healthcare system, or that their taxes would be crippling; most of them haven't lived and worked abroad, and won't know that you're lying outrageously.
Give religion special privileges. Allow religious adherents to mutilate their children's genitalia. When priests help child rapists and drug dealers evade justice, don't lock them up—instead, continue to treat them with respect.
Finally, when pontificating about the country's problems, make sure you focus on the symptoms and ignore the causes. After all, if you're the kind of rich politician, lawyer or entertainer who benefits from the current system, the last thing you want is change. I mean, you'd hardly be a conservative if you wanted reform, would you?

dirty pop (up shop)
the justin timberlake concert happened to be during a pretty awesome time for *nsync fans. while he was playing two sold-out shows, hollywood was gearing up for the unveiling of *nsync's star on the walk of fame. and on top of that, the band had announced something called "the dirty pop-up" - a temporary shop at the hollywood & highland complex where some vintage band merchandise would be available for sale, along with some pretty fun looking photo ops. i knew once i saw it that we needed to go. NEEDED.
the old lady and i had debated back and forth about when to go. we'd thought that maybe we could head out on that monday while the bean was at school, but then we realized that the star unveiling was on that day and the shop wasn't scheduled to open for the day until 4:00 in the afternoon. we knew we couldn't make it out there on tuesday either, since she had to work and i'd have the usual bean duties. and so we decided that sunday afternoon was our one and only shot at making it out there.
when we got out to hollywood & highland it wasn't hard to figure out where we needed to go. we'd anticipated having to wait in a pretty long line, but as we walked along, trying to find our way to the end of it, we realized that we were in for quite an experience. we finally got to join the line once we got all the way out of the complex, damn near out on the street.
i knew the bean was hungry, having had a late breakfast that day, and so i left them both in the line while i went off in search of some lunch. i'd seen a poster advertising a poke shop nearby, and so i headed over and picked up some salmon poke and rice for her and some caffeine for the old lady and me from the nearby starbucks.
as i made my way back to the line, i heard cheering and squealing coming from the front of the line and stopped to find out what was going on. i knew it could only mean one thing - band members had to have arrived for a visit. with the star unveiling happening and JT's concert weekend, it made sense that they were all in town and just as curious to check out the pop-up as the rest of us.
it turned out to be two of the guys - lance bass and my friend joey fatone. i couldn't see anything, but the excitement was thick as i passed the line near what i was assuming was the entrance to the shop.
the girls were super happy to have some sort of distraction from standing in line, and the bean happily dug into her lunch as the old lady and i sipped our coffees and listened to the chatter around us. one of the shop staffers came back and told us that the plan was for everyone in line to sing "bye bye bye" as lance and joey left the complex, and everyone was super excited at the prospect of being in their presence.
the downside of their appearance, of course, was that the line came to a standstill as the shop was closed so that the guys could enjoy it without being mobbed by the crowds of fans. the shutdown added at least an hour to our wait time, and to add insult to injury the guys didn't even pass us on their way out. they got shuffled out of a different exit instead, and that was a bummer.
we were happy when the line started to move again at last, but it was still going really slowly. there was much boredom, and we played some silly games and took pictures and eventually braided the bean's hair in front of her face because we could.
while we were pretty much dying of boredom and kinda sorta almost over it, once we hit the two-hour mark we realized that we'd invested too much time in line. it just wouldn't have made sense to leave at that point...or so we thought. we finally made our way up to the candy shop, and the girls finally decided that it was time to go inside and walk around and pick up some sugar to pep us all up a bit. it helped some, and around the three-hour mark we finally turned a corner and reached a point where there were chairs to sit on.
past the sweet shop was a different pop-up - this one, ru paul themed.
it was then that a couple of staffers came out and started counting the heads waiting in line. we watched as they made their way down the line, stopping about ten people behind us to make an announcement. and we were relieved to find that we'd just barely made the cut for folks who were guaranteed to enter the shop. they'd been scheduled to close at 8:00, but with the number of people waiting in line for hours they knew they had to extend it to keep from being stampeded by angry *nsync fans. we felt really bad for the folks who weren't really that far behind us who now had to decide whether to stay and hope they'd still make it in, or give up after having waited for almost five hours for pretty much nothing. eek.
around the 4:30 mark, we could finally see the beginning of the line and were handed menu cards to show us what merchandise was available for purchase.
right around 5:00, we finally found ourselves waiting to enter the shop. it was almost 9:00 by then, and i knew the hub was going to have something to say about the bean being out way past her bedtime on a school night. yikes.
the staffers were hyper aware of the fact that they needed to run the line in a super organized fashion in an effort to get as many fans inside as possible. just before we were finally allowed to enter, they gave us the rundown on what to expect when we got inside. we were asked to be mindful of the folks in line behind us and keep the poses to a minimum. and then finally, we went inside. the first station was a photo op that got us this photo that was texted to us:
and there was a table full of familiar looking merchandise from the height of the band's popularity in the late 90s/early 2000s. the old lady had had all of these dolls at one time.
there were mannequins modeling some of the outfits the guys had worn during various tours.
more photo ops came after that:
and as we got in line for the next one, the bean decided to find an open spot on the giant greeting card congratulating the band on their star hanging on the wall.
the next photo op was super cute and reminded me of what my own bedroom had looked like when i was in high school and worshiped my most favorite band from the 80s.
more tour costumes:
i totally remembered when the old lady had this. she used to play with it along with the britney spears doll on the britney spears tour bus. man, i wish we still had that stuff. heh.
for buying merchandise, the staff had racks of clothing in the available sizes and other pieces of memorabilia for sale displayed on tables in two small rooms. you just had to flag down one of the employees, give them your name and show them what you wanted to buy, and they would hand the ticket to another person who then pulled all of the items on your list, bag them up and take them up to the register. after the bag was double checked by another employee, they called your name and you went up to pay and pick up your goodies. it was all very efficient.
while we waited, we sat down and watched old *nsync music videos and footage from various concerts. the bean seemed pretty happy just sitting and listening, and we enjoyed watching her get her 90s musical education.
on the table were pens and five scrapbooks - one to be given to each band member. the bean picked up the one for JT and wrote something like "my mom loves you and i loved you in trolls." hahahahahaha.
my name finally got called and the rest of it was a blur as i got up to pay, signaled the girls to join me and then we hightailed out of there and made our way back down to the parking structure and into the car to head home at last. from the time we arrived to the time we finally left, it'd been over six hours and the bean passed out in the back seat almost before we even got out of that parking structure.
and the best part? now whenever we get in the car the bean asks me to fire up the amazon music app and play the *nsync greatest hits cd. she's pretty partial to "pop," "bye bye bye," and "tearin' up my heart." she sings and dances and entertains, and it's pretty freaking awesome.

Q: Python Nested Dictionary I need to find the month which has the most number of people on any day. The code I wrote just looks for the most amount of days instead of how many people have the birthday on that day
def total_days(birthdays):
    '''
    >>> total_days( {"Jan": {2: ["Ben"], 3: ["Sarah"], 6: ["Rob"]},
    "Feb": {1: ["Jimmy", "Timmmy"], 30: ["Sam", "Tony"]}})

    'Feb'

    '''
    total = 0
    month = ''
    for i in birthdays:
        new = len(birthdays[i])
        if new > total:
            total = new
            month = i
    return month

This code returns Jan because in January there are 3 dates while Feb has 2 but I need the month with the most amount of people  which should be Feb
Thanks

A: You just need to go one for loop deeper. Your code is perfect, except immediately after your first for loop, add:
for j in birthdays[i]:
    {rest of your code here}

A: This code will store the result in busiest_month.
busiest_month = None
busiest_day_overall = None, 0
for month in birthdays:
    busiest_day_in_month = max([(day, len(people)) for day, people in birthdays[month].items()])
    if busiest_day_in_month[1] > busiest_day_overall[1]:
        busiest_month = month

A: A one liner:
from collections import Counter
birthdays = {"Jan": {2: ["Ben"], 3: ["Sarah"], 6: ["Rob"]},
             "Feb": {1: ["Jimmy", "Timmmy"], 30: ["Sam", "Tony"]}}

Counter({month: sum(len(names) for names in dates.values()) for (month, dates) in birthdays.items()}).most_common(1)[0][0]

(Well, ok, technically there are a few lines in there)
It uses dictionary and list comprehensions (dictionary comprehensions means this will only work in Python 2.7+). Essentially, it's flattening the list of dates/names down to a single value - the number of names attached to a date, then summing those per month. collections.Counter is then used to find the highest scored element.

A: Try with this
def total_days(birthdays):
    total = 0
    month = ''
    for i,j in birthdays.viewitems():
       new =j.keys()
       new.sort()
       if total < new[-1]:
            total = new[-1]
            month = i
    return month

hope it helps

A: Try
 birthdays={"Jan": {2: ["Ben"], 3: ["Sarah"], 6: ["Rob"]},
          "Feb": {1: ["Jimmy", "Timmmy"], 30: ["Sam", "Tony"]}}
yourData=[(mon,max([len(p) for d,p in day.iteritems()])) for mon,day in birthdays.iteritems()]
print [i[0] for i in yourData if i[1]==max(map(lambda x: x[1], yourData))][0]

Bauyrjan Qydyrgaliuly Baibek (born 19 March 1974) is a Kazakh politician who served as the äkim of Almaty from 9 August 2015 to 28 June 2019. Along party lines. Baibek was the First Deputy Chairman of Nur Otan from 29 June 2019 to 2 February 2022 and previously from 17 January 2013 to 8 August 2015.

Early life and education
Baibek was born in the city of Alma-Ata (present-day Almaty) in 1974. After graduating from the Kulyash Bayseitova Musical School in Almaty with honors in piano, he entered the Kurmangazy Conservatory in 1992. From 1994 to 1998, he studied in Germany under the Bolashak Scholarship. In 1995, Baibek earned a degree in German Language from the Goethe-Institut's annual program in Bremen. He then graduated from the Lübeck Academy of Music with a specialty as a teacher in 1998.

In 2002, Baibek graduated in absentee from the Central Asian University (now closed) in Almaty with a degree in international economics.

In 2010, he defended his thesis on "The institutionalization of the state protocol of the Republic of Kazakhstan", earning doctoral degree in political science.

Early career
From 1999 to 2002, Baibek worked as a referent, attaché of the Consulate General of Kazakhstan in Frankfurt and the third secretary of Economic missions of Kazakhstan in Germany in the city of Berlin.

From 2002 to 2003, he served as an expert in the Central Systems Research of the Presidential Administration of Kazakhstan.

From 2004 to 2006, Baibek was the chief inspector of the Protocol of the President of Kazakhstan. In 2006, he became the chief of the Protocol of the President and worked in this position until August 2009, when he became the deputy head of the Presidential Administration.

First Deputy Chairman of Nur Otan (2013–2015, 2019–2022)

On 17 January 2013, Baibek was appointed as the First Deputy Chairman of Nur Otan.

In 2014, under Baibek, an anti-corruption program of the Nur Otan was developed and adopted for 2015 to 2025.

In March 2015, the party initiated a number of projects dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Victory Day. In the framework of the project "Ардагерлерді ардақтайық" ("Taking Care of the Older Generation"), a complete data was restored on 531 Heroes of the Soviet Union and more than 124 full cavaliers of the Order of Glory. With the assistance of the Nur Otan, the cycle "Қазақстандық қаһармандар" ("Heroic annals of Kazakhstanis") started. Hundred videos in Kazakh and Russian languages about Kazakh World War II veterans were shown on the Astana channel.

On 28 June 2019, Baibek was reappointed again as the First Deputy Chairman. He served the post until 2 February 2022 when he stepped down shortly after President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev became the new party leader. In his Facebook page, Baibek cited the reason for his resignation was due to the Nur Otan requiring "new tasks that require fresh approaches and views." In his statement, he gave remarks about his work in the party which were contributing to strengthening Kazakhstan's independence, thanking former President and party leader Nazarbayev and incumbent President Tokayev for trust and support, as well as the party's apparatus staff and members. Following Baibek's dismissal, the post of the First Deputy Chairman was abolished and replaced by the executive secretary for the party, who became Ashat Oralov.

Äkim of Almaty (2015–2019)

Transportation

Tram closure
On 31 October 2015, tram traffic was closed in Almaty due to the results of the inspection, which revealed numerous irregularities and inconsistencies: there were gaps of up to 50 mm at all assembly joints, rail wear was up to 2–2.5 cm, wooden sleepers were rotten. Due to the condition of the tram tracks, wheel sets of wagons were heavily worn out. In 2014, there were 20 facts of the derailment of cars. Up until September 2015, there were 43 derailments. In 2017, the dismantling of tram tracks began.

Onai System
On 11 January 2016, the public transport system "Onai" was introduced, which was non-cash fare system. The system deduced unaccounted cash from the shadow turnover. In September 2016, the cash payment of Almaty residents for a month amounted to 256 million tenge, with cards to only 0.8 billion tenge. In September 2017, the monthly cash income was 91 million tenge, and through the Onai card, 1.5 billion tenge. 800 million tenge were withdrawn from the shadow turnover in one month.

Upgrades
Under the leadership of Baibek, public transport was updated by 80%, almost 1300 new buses were purchased. In January 2016, 70% of the state-owned company "Almatyelektrotrans" was transferred to a private investor Green Bus Company LLP for 5 years in trust without the right to subsequent redemption.

Bus rapid transit
In September 2018, the first BRT line in the country was launched on Timiryazev Street, at peak hours, the speed of buses along the line was 3 times higher than cars. Already in the first 10 days of operation, passenger flow increased by 40% from 100,000 to 140,000 people.

Speed limit
After speed reduction on Al-Farabi Avenue from 80 to 60 km, the number of accidents decreased by 2.7 times. On the one-sided Kurmangazy street, the number of accidents decreased by 41%, and on Shevchenko street was 4 times.

Urban policies
For several years, work was underway to reconstruct the central streets of the city for pedestrians. One of the main objects of change was Panfilov Street, which became a pedestrian street from Zhibek Zholy Street to Qabanbai Batyr Street.

Under Baibek, more than 600 streets and almost 1,600 courtyards of Almaty were repaired, where modern children's and sports grounds, surveillance cameras, and courtyard lighting appeared. 30% of street lighting was converted to energy-saving LED lighting. 300 km of irrigation ditches and 2000 km of engineering networks were also repaired and built. Almost 3000 illegal kiosks were demolished in the city.

Baubek announced the City Without Fences program, in which 150 km of fences were dismantled. Many organizations planted bushes and trees as a replacement.

In October 2015, the building of the former General Plan on Jeltoqsan Street was demolished. Members of the Defend Almaty initiative group gathered near the building, claiming that work was being carried out illegally, but the city planning council issued all the necessary permits. In October 2015, with the approval of the Town Planning Council, the Alatau Cinema building, built in 1960, was demolished for the construction of McDonald's. Social media users organized a flash mob against the demolition of the building. In response to the controversies, Baibek stated that for 20 years the cinema was empty, and it did not represent historical value, since it was made of alucobond.

A project for preventive monitoring of mudflow hazard was developed. Seismic amplification of 65% of educational facilities and 53% of healthcare was carried out. To protect against mudflows, the Mynjylky Dam was reconstructed, 9 of the most breakthrough moraine lakes were emptied. 9 rivers canals were reconstructed. Protective structures strengthened the slopes at HES-1 - BAO and Medeu - Shymbulak.

For the first time in the city, the "Participation Budget" project was implemented where a part of the city budget is distributed by the citizens themselves.

Social objects
In a few years, 11 schools and more than 540 public and private kindergartens were opened, and 12 hospitals and clinics were commissioned. Within the framework of the project "Baityt Obybasy", the payment for kindergartens was halved, and a large number of private kindergartens were opened. As a result of this work, more than 20 thousand children were enrolled in kindergartens.

From 2015, Almaty schools, colleges, hospitals and KSK began to publish their reports on financial activities.

In February 2019, a simplified mortgage lending program was launched for large families.

While Baibek was akim, many medical centers were sold into private ownership. The privatization plan of these and other facilities in the country was previously approved by the Decree of the Government of Kazakhstan from 30 December 2015 No. 1141 "On some issues of privatization for 2016-2020".

Criticism
In May 2017, environmental activists of the "Defend Almaty" and "Defend Kokkailau" groups gave the Akim a gift-installation "Death of Almaty", which, according to the authors of the present, symbolizes the concern of the townspeople about the activities of the city akim. That same month, the appeal of a public figure Denis Krivosheev to Baibek was published.

If you're using WooCommerce to sell products on your website, you may have come across the need to add additional and important information to your product pages. Naturally, one of the places that makes the most sense to add additional information about your products to is the tabs section below the product description. But how do you add new custom WooCommerce product tabs?
Well, that's what were going to explore in this guide. We'll run you through all the steps that are needed to be able to add tabs with the product information that you want to display.
Adding WooCommerce product tabs to the product page is not default or out of the box functionality, so we're going to use a plugin to help us out. Don't worry though, it's really simple to implement and as mentioned, we'll show you exactly how.
The first step is to install the plugin that will allow the tabs to be added. Now, you have a few choices here as there are a number of plugins available that can add this functionality to WooCommerce for you. In fact, here at WP Geeks we're in the process of creating our very own WooCommerce product tabs plugin.
Our plugin is not quite ready yet, but in the meantime, we can still get product tabs added to your online store by using another plugin. The plugin that we recommend that you use for now is called Custom Product Tabs For WooCommerce and can be downloaded from the WordPress.org plugin repository.
Go ahead and install the plugin and once you've activated it on your store, move on to step 2.
Global tabs – These are tabs that are created for use across all products. You create the tab once, add the information that you need and then re-use it across all products. This is very useful if you want to include the same tab on multiple products and not have to re-type all the information.
Product specific tabs – These are thats that only apply to 1 specific product. It's custom designed just for a single product. It cannot be re-used on another product.
Based on the purpose of the product tab that you want to add, you should know which type of tab to create. In this guide, we'll set up one of each tab type.
Navigate to "Custom Product Tabs" and you'll see an interface which allows you to create global tabs. To add a new tab, click the "Add Tab" button at the top of the page. Type in a title, name and the tab content in to the fields provided and then click "Save Tab".
Your tab is now ready to be used on any product that you wish. We'll get to adding global tabs to a product in step 5.

This was my first visit to Liverpool Football Club's home – Anfield. As a massive supporter of the Club, this was very much a pilgrimage. Despite enduring a Grade 2 gastrocnemius tear on my right calf muscle two days prior to flying to England, and being in an air-cast for the next five weeks, I still wanted to continue with my first visit to Liverpool. The primary reason for my trip was for club captain Steven Gerrard's testimonial match – a rare occasion. On hindsight, I was glad I did this trip. Hobbling around in an air-cast was not too difficult after some practice, and I had come to really love the atmosphere of Liverpool.

Miramax delays Tarantino's ''Kill Bill -- Vol. II''
Miramax delays Tarantino's ''Kill Bill -- Vol. II.'' The Uma Thurman revenge saga moves from February to April, just after the DVD release of ''Vol. I''

Kill Bill -- Vol. 2
"Kill Bill" fans who've been waiting anxiously to learn the ultimate fate of Uma Thurman's sword-wielding Bride character will have to wait two months longer. According to Variety, Miramax has delayed the release of Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill — Vol. II" from Feb. 20 to April 16. (Parent company Disney has already taken advantage of the move by slotting the romantic comedy "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen," starring "Freaky Friday"'s Lindsay Lohan, in the February date.) Miramax gave no reason for the move, but it would allow the studio to whet interest for the theatrical release with the expected April 13 bow of last fall's "Vol. I" on DVD. April 16 also sees the multiplex debuts of Greek bride Nia Vardalos' new comedy, "Connie and Carla," and the Marvel Comics vigilante saga "The Punisher."

ABOUT ALMA-TADEMA
Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, OM, RA was a Dutch painter of special British denizenship. Born in Dronrijp, the Netherlands, and trained at the Royal Academy of Antwerp, Belgium, he settled in England in 1870 and spent the rest of his life there. A classical-subject painter, he became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, with languorous figures set in fabulous marbled interiors or against a backdrop of dazzling blue Mediterranean Sea and sky.
Though admired during his lifetime for his draftsmanship and depictions of Classical antiquity, his work fell into disrepute after his death, and only since the 1960s has it been re-evaluated for its importance within nineteenth-century English art.
A blue plaque unveiled in 1975 commemorates Alma-Tadema at 44 Grove End Road, St Johns Wood, his home from 1886 until his death in 1912.

Hypertensive emergency
A hypertensive emergency is severe hypertension with acute impairment of an organ system (especially the central nervous system, cardiovascular system and/or the renal system) and the possibility of irreversible organ-damage. In case of a hypertensive emergency, the blood pressure should be lowered aggressively over minutes to hours with an antihypertensive agent.

Terminology[edit | edit source]
Generally, the terminology describing hypertensive emergencies can be confusing. Terms such as hypertensive crisis, malignant hypertension, hypertensive urgency, accelerated hypertension and severe hypertension are all used in the literature and often overlap.
Hypertensive emergency as a specific term[edit | edit source]
The term hypertensive emergency is primarily used as a specific term for a hypertensive crisis with a diastolic blood pressure of 120 mm Hg and above plus end organ damage (brain, cardiovascular, renal) (as described above) in contrast to hypertensive urgency where as yet no end organ damage has developed. The former requires immediate lowering of blood pressure such as with sodium nitroprusside infusions (NOT injections) while urgencies (about 3/4 of cases with diastolic blood pressure of 120 mm Hg and above) can be treated with parenteral administration (NOT oral) of labetalol or some Ca-channel blockers! The former use of oral nifedipine, a Ca-channel antagonist, has been strongly discouraged or banned because it is not absorbed in a controlled and reproducible fashion and has led to serious and fatal hypotensive problems.
Hypertensive emergency as a generic term[edit | edit source]
Sometimes, although not very often, the term hypertensive emergency is also used as a generic term, comprising both hypertensive emergency as a specific term for a serious and urgent condition of elevated blood pressure and hypertensive urgency as a specific term of a less serious and less urgent condition (the terminology hypertensive crisis is usually used in this sense).
Signs and symptoms[edit | edit source]
The eyes may show retinal hemorrhage or an exudate. Papilledema must be present before a diagnosis of malignant hypertension can be made.
The brain shows manifestations of increased intracranial pressure, such as headache, vomiting, and/or subarachnoid or cerebral hemorrhage.
Patients will usually suffer from left ventricular dysfunction.
The kidneys will be affected, resulting in hematuria, proteinuria, and acute renal failure.
It differs from other complications of hypertension in that it is accompanied by papilledema.[1] This can be associated with hypertensive retinopathy.
Other signs and symptoms can include:
Faintness or vertigo
Severe anxiety
Altered mental status
Paresthesias
Chest pain requires immediate lowering of blood pressure (such as with sodium nitroprusside infusions), while urgencies can be treated with oral agents, with the goal of lowering the mean arterial pressure (MAP) by 20% in 1–2 days with further reduction to "normal" levels in weeks or months. The former use of oral nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, has been strongly discouraged because it is not absorbed in a controlled and reproducible fashion and has led to serious and fatal hypotensive problems.
Sometimes, the term hypertensive emergency is also used as a generic term, comprising both hypertensive emergency, as a specific term for a serious and urgent condition of elevated blood pressure, and hypertensive urgency, as a specific term of a less serious and less urgent condition (the terminology hypertensive crisis is usually used in this sense).
Definition[edit | edit source]
Terminology[2] Systolic Pressure (mm Hg) Diastolic Pressure (mm Hg)
Normal < 120 < 80
Pre-hypertension 120-139 80-89
Hypertension stage 1 140-159 90-99
Hypertension stage 2 ≥ 160 ≥ 100
Hypertensive crisis ≥ 180 ≥ 120
Hypertensive emergency ≥ 180 ≥ 120
The term hypertensive emergency is primarily used as a specific term for a hypertensive crisis with a diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 120 mmHg and/or systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 180mmHg. Hypertensive emergency differs from hypertensive crisis in that, in the former, there is evidence of acute organ damage.
Pathophysiology[edit | edit source]
The pathophysiology of hypertensive emergency is not well understood.[3] Failure of normal autoregulation and an abrupt rise in systemic vascular resistance are typical initial components of the disease process.[4]
Hypertensive emergency pathophysiology includes:
Abrupt increase in systemic vascular resistance, likely related to humoral vasoconstrictors
Endothelial injury
Fibrinoid necrosis of the arterioles
Deposition of platelets and fibrin
Breakdown of normal autoregulatory function
The resulting ischemia prompts further release of vasoactive substances, completing a vicious cycle.[5] If the process is not stopped, a vicious cycle of homeostatic failure begins, leading to loss of cerebral and local autoregulation, organ system ischemia and dysfunction, and myocardial infarction.[6]
It is estimated that single-organ involvement is found in approximately 83% of hypertensive emergency patients, two-organ involvement in about 14% of patients, and multi-organ failure (failure of at least 3 organ systems) in about 3% of patients.
The most common clinical presentations of hypertensive emergencies are cerebral infarction (24.5%), pulmonary edema (22.5%), hypertensive encephalopathy (16.3%), and congestive heart failure (12%). Less common presentations include intracranial hemorrhage, aortic dissection, and eclampsia.[4]
Cerebral autoregulation is the ability of the blood vessels in the brain to maintain a constant blood flow. It has been shown that people who suffer from chronic hypertension can tolerate higher arterial pressure before their autoregulation system is disrupted. Hypertensives also have an increased cerebrovascular resistance which puts them at greater risk of developing cerebral ischemia if the blood flow decreases into a normotensive range. On the other hand, sudden or rapid rises in blood pressure may cause hyperperfusion and increased cerebral blood flow, causing increased intracranial pressure and cerebral edema. Hypertensive encephalopathy - characterized by hypertension, altered mentation, and papilledema- is one of the clinical manifestations of cerebral edema and microhemorrhages seen with dysfunction of cerebral autoregulation.[4]
Increased arterial stiffness, increased systolic blood pressure, and widened pulse pressures, all resulting from chronic hypertension, can lead to heart damage. Coronary perfusion pressures are decreased by these factors, which also increase myocardial oxygen consumption, possibly leading to left ventricular hypertrophy. As the left ventricle becomes unable to compensate for an acute rise in systemic vascular resistance, left ventricular failure and pulmonary edema or myocardial ischemia may occur.
Chronic hypertension has a great impact on the renal vasculature, leading to pathologic changes in the small arteries of the kidney. Affected arteries develop endothelial dysfunction and impairment of normal vasodilation, which alter renal autoregulation. When the renal autoregulatory system is disrupted, the intraglomerular pressure starts to vary directly with the systemic arterial pressure, thus offering no protection to the kidney during blood pressure fluctuations. During a hypertensive crisis, this can lead to acute renal ischemia.
Endothelial injury can occur as a consequence of severe elevations in blood pressure, with fibrinoid necrosis of the arterioles following. The vascular injury leads to deposition of platelets and fibrin, and a breakdown of the normal autoregulatory function. Ischemia occurs as a result, prompting further release of vasoactive substances. This process completes the vicious cycle.[7]
Many factors and causes are contributory in hypertensive crises. One main cause is the discontinuation of antihypertensive medications. Other common causes of hypertensive crises are autonomic hyperactivity, collagen-vascular diseases, drug use (particularly stimulants, especially cocaine and amphetamines and their substituted analogues), glomerulonephritis, head trauma, neoplasias, preeclampsia and eclampsia, and renovascular hypertension.[7]
During a hypertensive emergency uncontrolled blood pressure leads to progressive or impending end-organ dysfunction. Therefore, it is important to lower the blood pressure aggressively. Acute end-organ damage may occur, affecting the neurological, cardiovascular, renal, or other organ systems. Some examples of neurological damage include hypertensive encephalopathy, cerebral vascular accident/cerebral infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracranial hemorrhage. Cardiovascular system damage can include myocardial ischemia/infarction, acute left ventricular dysfunction, acute pulmonary edema, and aortic dissection. Other end-organ damage can include acute renal failure or insufficiency, retinopathy, eclampsia, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.[8]
Extreme blood pressure can lead to problems in the eye, such as retinopathy or damage to the blood vessels in the eye.[9]
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Several classes of antihypertensive agents are recommended, with the choice depending on the etiology of the hypertensive crisis, the severity of the elevation in blood pressure, and the usual blood pressure of the patient before the hypertensive crisis. In most cases, the administration of an intravenous sodium nitroprusside injection, which has an almost immediate antihypertensive effect, is suitable (but in many cases not readily available). In less urgent cases, oral agents like captopril, clonidine, labetalol, or prazosin can be used, but all have a delayed onset of action (by several minutes) compared to sodium nitroprusside. Controlled bloodletting is an effective salvage therapy in the interim when nitroprusside is unavailable, and aggressive oral therapy has not yet taken effect {{Citation needed}}.
In addition, non-pharmacological treatment could be considered in cases of resistant malignant hypertension due to end stage renal failure, such as: surgical nephrectomy, laparoscopic nephrectomy and renal artery embolization in cases of anesthesia risk.[10]
It is also important that the blood pressure be lowered smoothly, not too abruptly. The initial goal in hypertensive emergencies is to reduce the pressure by no more than 25% (within minutes to 1 or 2 hours), and then toward a level of 160/100 mm Hg within a total of 2–6 hours. Excessive reduction in blood pressure can precipitate coronary, cerebral, or renal ischemia and, possibly, infarction.[11]
The diagnosis of a hypertensive emergency is not based solely on an absolute level of blood pressure, but also on the typical blood pressure level of the patient before the hypertensive crisis occurs. Individuals with a history of chronic hypertension may not tolerate a "normal" blood pressure.
Epidemiology[edit | edit source]
Although an estimated 50 million or more adult Americans suffer from hypertension, the relative incidence of hypertensive crisis is relatively low (less than 1% annually). Nevertheless, this condition does affect upward of 500,000 Americans each year, and is therefore a not insignificant cause of serious morbidity in the US.[12]
According to a research published in 2006, hypertension prevalence is again on the rise, with 28.6% of the U.S. population estimated to be suffering from it in the period 1999-2002. According to the study, relative incidence rates of hypertension range between 3% and 18% of the population. These numbers depend on the age, gender, ethnicity, and body size.[13]
According to Whelton, the incidence and prevalence of hypertension is about 50% higher in African-American adults than in white or Mexican-American populations. Also, Whelton adds that prevalence of hypertension has increased progressively in children and adolescents between 1988-2000. According to this study, recent estimates indicate that approximately 1 billion adults worldwide have hypertension, with the highest prevalence of hypertension in Eastern Europe and the Latin American/Caribbean region.[14]
As a result of the use of antihypertensives, the incidence of hypertensive emergencies has declined from 7% to 1% of patients with hypertension. The 1–year survival rate has also increased. Before 1950, this survival rate was only 20%, but it is now more than 90% with proper medical treatment.[4]
Estimates indicate that approximately 1% to 2% of patients with hypertension develop hypertensive crisis at some point in their lifetime. Men are more commonly affected by hypertensive crises than women.
The incidence of hypertensive crises has increased and hospital admissions tripled between 1983 and 1990, from 23,000 to 73,000 per year in the United States. The incidence of postoperative hypertensive crisis varies and such variation depends on the population examined. Most studies report and incidence of between 4% to 35%.[8]
Prognosis[edit | edit source]
Severe hypertension is a serious and potentially life-threatening medical condition. It is estimated that people who do not receive appropriate treatment only live an average of about three years after the event.[15]
The morbidity and mortality of hypertensive emergencies depend on the extent of end-organ dysfunction at the time of presentation and the degree to which blood pressure is controlled afterward. With good blood pressure control and medication compliance, the 10-year survival rate of patients with hypertensive crises approaches 70%.[16]
The risks of developing a life-threatening disease affecting the heart or brain increase as the blood flow increases. Commonly, ischemic heart attack and stroke are the causes that lead to death in patients with severe hypertension. It is estimated that for every 20 mm Hg systolic or 10 mm Hg diastolic increase in blood pressures above 115/75 mm Hg, the mortality rate for both ischemic heart disease and stroke doubles.
Several studies have concluded that African Americans have a greater incidence of hypertension and a greater morbidity and mortality from hypertensive disease than non-Hispanic whites.[17] It appears that hypertensive crisis is also more common in African Americans compared with other races.
Although severe hypertension is more common in the elderly, it may occur in children (though very rarely). Also, women have slightly increased risks of developing hypertension crises than do men.[citation needed] The lifetime risk for developing hypertension is 86-90% in females and 81-83% in males.

Way-too-early NBA Power Rankings: ESPN rate Mavericks 5th before the 2022-23 season
The season is far away, but preparation is already beginning.
By Jordan Brodess@Jbrodess Jun 17, 2022, 4:32pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Way-too-early NBA Power Rankings: ESPN rate Mavericks 5th before the 2022-23 season
Set Number: X164071 TK1
Soon after the Golden State Warriors reclaimed their position as the NBA's best team, winning the 2022 NBA Finals, ESPN turned their eyes toward next season. Even with the season itself feeling so far away, the preparation is already beginning. The Dallas Mavericks themselves have already reportedly made moves for next season's roster, acquiring big man Christian Wood in a trade with the Houston Rockets.
ESPN released their first NBA Power Rankings for the 2022-23 season: way-too-early edition Friday morning, putting the Mavericks at fifth going into next season, the third team in the Western Conference. Tim MacMahon wrote of the Mavericks:
The Mavs are confident that they will re-sign Jalen Brunson in the wake of their run to the West finals. He will likely again be Dallas' second-best player, behind Luka Doncic, as GM Nico Harrison is handcuffed by the Mavs being well into luxury tax territory with limited first-round picks to dangle in trade packages. The Mavs filled one major need by trading for high-scoring center Christian Wood — a deal that will become official on draft night — and are expected to target a rotation wing in free agency.
The Mavericks are currently +1600 to win the 2023 NBA title according to Caesars Sportsbook. This puts them behind the Warriors, as well as the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers in the West. They are tied with the Memphis Grizzlies and Philadelphia 76ers for the 8th best odds in the league.
With the NBA Draft just around the corner, and free agency just a week later, Mavericks news is soon to follow.

The disintegrating North tower spire
The Strange Collapse of the Spire
From Plaguepuppy
An odd remnant of the core of the north tower remained standing for about 15 seconds after the main collapse, then seemed to abruptly disintegrate into a narrow column of dust where huge steel box columns had been...
The jagged triangular spire of steel columns seen above is a portion of the service core that remained standing after the main body of the dust cloud from the north tower collapse had reached the ground. It can be seen in several still pictures and at least one video, and appears to be about 2/3 the height of the building, say 60-70 floors, narrowing down to just a single column at the top. This grouping of columns is only a portion of the core, most likely one corner and the area around it, perhaps as much as a third of the core's area at the bottom. For some reason this group of columns has not fallen with the rest, though many of the cross-braces that tied them together are gone.
Given that the rest of the core disappears so completely it is hard to understand how the collapse could slice so cleanly around the spire without pulling it down as well. The core was extremely robust, designed to be able to support the entire weight of the buildings several times over and was the principal gravitational support of the building. Far from being mere "service cores," they comprised 47 rectangular steel box columns tied together by thousands of steel cross braces. The largest of these box columns were 18"x36", the smallest about 16"x16", all with steel walls 4" thick at the base and tapering in stages to 1" at the top the top, and were anchored directly to the bedrock.
The outer walls' primary function was to brace against wind loads, and they were not counted upon for weight bearing, though they did of course carry some weight in the resting state. By placing the support against wind loading right at the surface where the loads occur the whole structure could be lighter with the same amount of lateral stability. But under static conditions the core carried most of the load.
This construction picture gives a sense of how massive the core really was. Notice the four construction cranes standing on the corners of the partially built core. These sat on built-up columns created at each corner and were formed by tying together the four columns closest to each corner. Diagonal braces were also added on the vertical sides to make them more rigid. These corner columns were very substantial structures that were gradually added to as the building grew, and were designed to support the massive cranes and the weight of the materials they lifted into place.
Video Clips of the Disintegration
Click picture for AVI clip of WTC-1 collapse (needs Divx codec)
MPEG version with sound
In this view the spire can be seen in the wake of the debris cloud just as it reaches the ground. (And incidentally at that moment the scene to the left of the dust cloud gets much brighter, a brightness visible in many images. Its possible source is beyond the scope of this discussion.) This remnant of the core remains standing for a little less than 20 seconds, swaying a bit from side to side but showing remarkably little inclination to topple over. It then abruptly begins to drop straight down on itself in an apparent free fall, but after falling for about a quarter of its height it suddenly turns to dust. It is heavy dust that continues to drop straight down in place with very little dispersion or wind drift, suggesting that the particles were dense, more or less what one would expect to see if the steel of the columns had turned all at once into a coarse powder.

This is a close-up taken from the above CNN footage, showing only the appearance and collapse of the spire.
Pictures of the Disintegration
Beyond the mysterious shattering and disappearance of the upper ~30% of the core, there is a much more serious anomaly. The "spire" stood for about 20 seconds after the debris cloud fell away from around it, swaying slightly without tipping over despite its height and lack of support. It then began to drop straight down in place, but after dropping only a little way it abruptly turned into dust in place, very much as the towers themselves did.
Still upright, top column leaning a bit
Before and after views of the core remnant just as it turns to dust. In the first picture WTC-7 is directly in front of the spire, and the camera is above ground level. The second picture is shot from street level, and we have moved to the right relative to WTC-7.
Four Views of the WTC-1 Collapse: note how dust cloud drifts to left, away from WTC-7, leaving spire behind
We can use the left-hand edge of WTC-7 as a reference to mark the position of the spire relative to the original tower. The framing of the picture changes and the view pulls back to a wider angle as we go through the sequence, making WTC-7 get smaller and move a little to the right. Despite this shift we can see that the top of the spire as seen in the last picture just matches the midline of the intact tower in the first frame, indicating that it was part of the core.
But if the spire represents a part of the core, there is something else shown here that is very unusual. Why does main dust cloud from the collapse move off to the left, leaving the spire off by itself? In fact the spire has a smaller dust cloud of its own that can be seen in the second and third frames, a remnant left behind as the axis of the collapse shifts, but most of the material in the cloud is now off to the left, still in a more or less cylindrical distribution. The midline of the collapse actually shifted during the collapse; this very dense pyroclastic slurry of pulverized concrete, gypsum and building contents somehow shifted its center of mass away from its original location, centered on the core. And what is that odd vertical cloud of smoke at the center? A gravitational collapse should create a net downward movement of the dust cloud, without such a vertical jet of smoke. In fact close-up pictures of the WTC-2 collapse show the debris cloud being pulled back in toward the center of the collapse, indicating a negative pressure.
Some Thoughts in the Face of the Impossible
What could possibly be going on here? I really wish this were an artifact, that the resolution of the images wasn't good enough to quite make out what is going on. But the remarkable consistency between what we see in the video clip and in the still images, particularly the single shot taken the instant after it had turned to dust, creates the unavoidable impression that in some mysterious way the steel columns shatter into dust. Could stresses generated during the collapse have weakened the steel? Perhaps the shockwaves of those "dust ejections" (whatever name you may apply, they look a lot like explosions) that we saw during the collapses has changed the microcrystalline grain structure of the remaining steel in such a way that it became extremely brittle. Something very unusual has happened to these particular steel beams, something that caused them to not merely topple or crumple in segments but to disintegrate in place. It is difficult to imagine any mechanism during a gravity driven collapse that could so alter the structure of steel that it might disintegrate under its own weight - no amount of shaking can create that kind of metal fatigue.
The selectivity of the initial collapse that left behind this portion of the core while removing the rest is also difficult to explain. Consider how cleanly the cross-braces have been sliced off along that single column at the top, short pieces of the vertical plates welded to each of the core columns sheared off without so much as generating enough force to pull down this single unsupported column. Something very energetic has removed the rest of the building from around this slender structure with remarkable delicacy, shattering and utterly removing all but this small bundle of surviving columns. And at the same time something has caused the center of mass of the thousands of tons of debris from the building to shift several hundred feet from the original location during the ten seconds or so of its collapse, leaving the spire well outside the debris cloud that has spawned it. This cannot be wind drift, for the debris cloud was much too dense and fast-moving to drift like smoke.
Could electrostatic forces generated by movement of particles account for some of this? Could the pyroclastic slurry of the collapse function like a thunderhead or Van de Graff generator, perhaps accounting for the visible glow as well as the displacement of the dust cloud? Could electrostatic repulsion somehow push the dust cloud off to the side? The final bimodal dust cloud seems very inconsistent with the extreme symmetry of the early stages of the collapse, so some asymmetric force must be at work. And could the force involved also have created the bright glow visible in so many images of the collapses? The following picture (from Eric Huffschmid's "Painful Questions") shows the glow on the upper left, with debris flying out in all directions, but in an oddly asymmetric pattern:
Something inescapably strange is going on in these pictures, something no official explanation of the collapses has come close to accounting for. Beyond this I make no claims, and have no insider knowledge. Based on the photographic evidence there can be no question that explosives, and possibly other weapons systems based on "black technologies" were used in the WTC demolitions. Otherwise one can only suppose that the laws of physics underwent a profound but temporary change on September 11, 2001, as indeed the political and moral climate of our country underwent a dark and fateful change. And it is precisely this change that was clearly the intent behind the vast high-tech magic show that was 9/11. In politics as in physics, things do not happen for no reason.
Part 2: A Clearer View of the Spire's Demise
A Clearer View of the Spire's Demise
PAX-NBC Video of the North Tower Collapse
Click above for MPEG version of clip, here for AVI.
The image above shows what I have referred to as the spire, a remnant of the core of the North Tower that remained standing for about fifteen seconds after the collapse. This clip was part of a PAX/NBC compilation of views of the North Tower collapse, and is shot from east and a bit north of the tower, with the Woolworth Building in the foreground. The emergence and subsequent collapse of this peculiar remnant of the core is discussed in more detail in my first article about this object:: The Strange Collapse of the "Spire".
Near the beginning of the PAX/NBC compilation above, there are about ten seconds of footage from the same camera taken just as the collapse began. The image below is from the beginning of that footage.
(click to view video)
After the upper portion of the tower has disappeared into the dust cloud the footage is intercut with a telephoto view from the north, and we do not return to this camera angle until the spire is about to collapse. Here is an interesting WMV clip of the formation of the spire from another vantage point to help bridge the gap. And another interesting Quicktime video showing the north tower collapse from the northeast, with the spire becoming visible at the very end.
The picture below is the first frame following the missing footage of the emergence of the spire, and catches it at the end of its fifteen seconds of stability. Notice that the stubs of broken-off cross braces can still be seen along the single column at the top of the structure.
Here is a close-up of the top of the spire just after it became visible that shows these in better relief, cropped from a still photo found at Here Is New York:
Immediately after this the spire begins to fall straight down along its own axis, at least initially without any change in appearance. But at about the point when its top is even with the tapering roof of the Woolworth Building a distinct change takes place.
All at once the outline of the previously solid looking steel columns begins to become less well defined. Very soon after this it is clear that the steel columns have turned into a fine powder, though remaining in a narrow vertical column somewhat wider than the original outline. The heavier portion of the dust settles straight down fairly quickly, leaving only an insubstantial wisp of lighter dust that drifts off to the left. It has been suggested that this was simply dust that had been somehow clinging to the columns, but it would be difficult to explain how any amount of dust could cling to the vertical sides of the columns after being scoured by the turbulent cloud from which it emerged. And in any case it is clear from this footage that the sharp outline of the original columns is completely lost well before they reach the bottom of the screen.
Because this video was taken with a tripod-mounted camera located close to the collapse the image is sharper than the other known footage of the event (seen here). There can be no doubt that the cluster of steel box columns comprising the spire, after surviving the violence of the collapse itself, did in fact disintegrate almost at the moment that it began to fall. I cannot begin to speculate on the kind of technology needed to make this happen, but can say with some certainty that even conventional explosives would not create such a disintegration, and nothing that could happen in a gravitational collapse would resemble this.

Brock Chadwick, a 7-year-old Maine boy, made a simple wish by asking people to mail him Halloween cards. He has gotten responses from around the globe.
People from around the world are helping a 7-year-old Maine boy battling brain cancer celebrate his favorite holiday.
Brock Chadwick of Biddeford has a simple wish: he is asking people to mail him Halloween cards.
"It's been 8 long months of continuous chemotherapy, extensive radiation and major surgeries," his family posted on Facebook about the request. "Little things like this can really uplift him."
The response has been overwhelming. Since the start of the month, Chadwick has received hundreds of packages and thousands of cards from people across the country and around the world.
"Tons of packages, toys, candy and cards -– he is loving every second of it," said Brittney Horton, the boy's mother.
Chadwick has an aggressive form of brain cancer that has spread to his spine. And even though he is exhausted from chemotherapy, his family says the kindness of strangers is helping him get into the holiday spirit.
"It motivates him, for sure," said Horton.
"He's been seeming a lot better than he was a few weeks ago," said William Chadwick, Brock's father.
They have nicknamed the month "Brocktober," and it has been a month full of surprises.
Last Saturday, a group of community members and the Biddeford Fire Department helped decorate Chadwick's front yard with donated Halloween decorations.
On Sunday, about 300 motorcyclists from across New England organized a ride for him. They dressed up in Halloween costumes and surprised him outside his Biddeford home.
"[The response] has been way bigger that I could have imagined," said Horton. She said Brock has received so many toys and donations that they plan on donating items to children's hospitals to spread the love to other children.
Chadwick said his favorite part of "Brocktober" has been receiving his favorite candy: Hershey Bars and Hershey kisses. He wants to dress up as either Captain America or the Incredible Hulk, but some say he doesn't need a costume to be a superhero.

Unearthing Canada's dark history with ethnic cleansing: 215 Indigenous children's remains found buried in BC
Featured image by Erik Mclean on Unsplash.
Article written by Anna Philpott and Hayley Whelan.
A Note from the Editor:
Newfoundland and Labrador's museum The Rooms has enacted the Healing and Commemoration Collection, featuring interviews with residential school survivors of the province. The collection can be viewed online here. — Kaitlyn Woodley
By Anna Philpott:
Canada must take a hard look at its treatment of Indigenous peoples amidst the recent discovery of 215 native children's bodies buried at the site of a residential school in British Columbia.
The residential school in question, otherwise referred to as the "Kamloops Indian Residential School," was the largest of its kind. It is worth mentioning that the administrators of the school previously recorded only 51 of these murders in contrast to the 215 bodies discovered thus far, the youngest being identified as three years old.
This news first came to light as a First Nations government party, Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc, utilized a ground-penetrating radar to identify remains in what appeared to be a mass grave. Horrifyingly, just a few days ago, another burial site was discovered at the Brandon residential school in Manitoba alongside 104 more children, signifying that this discovery may be one of many.
In 1831, the first government-funded and church-operated residential school opened its doors with the sole intention of ethnic cleansing, i.e., separating Indigenous children from their homes, prohibiting them from speaking their native language and forcing them to convert to Christianity. The mortality rate for residential schools ranged from around 40-60%, with 90-100% of the population facing emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
It should be noted that there were also instances where children were forced to bury the corpses of other children.
Presently, many government officials have spoken out about this finding; however, the public is voicing its concern that the event is being treated as an incident of the past rather than a stark reality check for the present.
In this sense, rather than writing it off as a dark chapter of Canada's history, it is important to acknowledge that fighting the discrimination of Indigenous people is a battle that has yet to be won. In fact, the first half of said fight is acknowledging that these injustices are still present and material as it was 25 years ago when the last residential school closed its doors.
By Hayley Whelan:
These tragedies have occurred on our watch. Regardless of how many years have passed, the meaningless deaths of 215 children must not be forgotten. It is essential for us to observe the calls to action that have been requested by the Indigenous community as much as six years ago.
In 2015, the government of Canada released the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report. This report includes many calls to action, several of which have not yet been acted upon by the government. Among the unfulfilled requests is an appeal for an official death registry for all deceased and missing residential school children. This request also calls for plot maps of residential cemeteries, which will show where the children are buried. The children's families should be allowed commemoration ceremonies, markers, and relocation of the bodies should they wish it.
Further calls to action in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission request increased interest in the welfare of aboriginal children, including keeping them in culturally appropriate areas, close to their families when possible, and an increased focus and effort to thoroughly investigate all reports of potential neglect.
The government of Newfoundland and Labrador have decided to make a move to change our province's coat of arms. Namely, the decision to remove the use of the word "savages" from the description of the coat of arms, as the term is not appropriate.
Some residential school survivors have spoken out with instructions on how we should proceed beyond lowering our flags in mourning. They say that the churches who orchestrated this violence toward residential school students must be held accountable to the fullest extent possible. We need to employ radar searches on the grounds of other residential schools across Canada and to work to reveal and accept the truths that survivors have been speaking out about for years. There are at least 130 of these residential schools across Canada and we should be searching each one for evidence of the same kind of mistreatment and tragic abuse that we are now certain occurred at Kamloops Indian Residential School.
There are opportunities for individuals to contribute as well. The Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS) is dedicated to providing mental, physical and spiritual care to residential school survivors. They aim to provide access to culturally sensitive services and are governed by a board of directors made up of residential school survivors. If you want to donate, or otherwise support the IRSSS, you can do so on their website.
As Canadian citizens, it is our responsibility to ensure that these tragedies are never forgotten and that the heartbreaking history of residential schools in our country is never repeated.
