About 9 months ago – the DNA Spit Kit from 23andMe was $299. From their website today – it's $99. But who owns the resulting genetic data and the rights associated with that data? That's the issue now headed for the Supreme Court.
In the case of BRCA1 and BRCA2, the patents are held by Myriad Genetics. Any research, testing or experimentation on either of those two genes by any other company is in violation of Myriad's patents.
This debate, of course, isn't new. After years of legal wrangling, appeals and reversals, the Supreme Court is now scheduled to deliberate the case of the Association for Molecular Pathology, et al. v. Myriad Genetics, et al. The fundamental question remains – can we patent a product of nature – our genes?
On the one hand are the rights of an entire industry – The Biotechnology Industry Organization – to fund (and then profit) from expensive (and potentially life-saving) genetic research – in much the same way that our pharmaceutical industry funds (and profits) from (life saving) pharmacological research. Not surprisingly, many of the companies that hold gene patents are pharmaceutical companies. Last year alone – drugs worth about $35 billion in annual sales lost their patent status. 2015 looks to be similar for drugs totaling about $33 billion in annual sales.
Those are big losses and high stakes. Just last month the Supreme Court heard arguments on the emerging (and lucrative) pharma business practice called pay-for-delay. The practice involves pharmaceutical manufacturers paying generic manufacturers to delay the release of a generic drug in anticipation of the patent cliff.
One clear example is Myriad's ownership of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Any second-opinion test on those two genes is effectively a double payment of $3,000 to Myriad – to rerun the exact same blood test. Technically it's a "second opinion" – but it's effectively a carbon copy (through Myriad) of the first test.
This battle over our personal health data certainly isn't new. Almost 4 years ago – Dave deBronkart (e-Patient Dave and Forbes colleague) was the keynote speaker at the Medicine 2.0 conference in Toronto. The title of his keynote was the intentionally provocative demand: Gimme My Damn Data! What he was referencing back in 2009 was the electronic data stored by his healthcare providers in their electronic medical record (EMR) system (to which he had no access). He has since taken that message – and its broader applicability to patient engagement around the world – including this TEDxMaastricht talk here.
I've also written (here) about the challenges that Hugo Campos is having in accessing the data generated by his own heartbeat as its being recorded by the implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) inside his chest. The medical device manufacturer of the ICD considers that data proprietary to the company. Hugo's TEDxCambridge talk is here.
The data associated with these trends includes our EHR data, our ICD data – and now finally our genetic data. The issue of personal healthcare responsibility starts with personal healthcare rights – none of which is more fundamental than every piece of our own health data.
Two quotes from The New Yorker article that summarize the significance of the Supreme Court deliberation ahead were these.
The data itself may be in different formats – with different uses and purposes – but once again – the very future of our own personal healthcare returns to the Supreme Court. The issue may well be the lowly bits and bytes of ones and zeros – but the stakes couldn't be higher.

Recently divorced woman says she looks "really hot" after makeover
You should never underestimate the power of a makeover. Talented makeup artists can not only help somebody to refresh their whole look, but also their confidence, their self-worth, and their entire outlook on life.
Christopher Hopkins, aka. The Makeover Guy, is one of the best at his job.
YouTube Source: YouTube
The hair and makeup artist is famous in the beauty industry for his incredible makeovers, and has had TV appearances both for his creative artistry and for his singing talent. Some people have it all!
What makes Christopher stand out from the rest is that he takes on challenges that others would avoid. He can see the beauty in somebody who has forgotten what it's like to feel beautiful themselves.
He's most well-known for helping his older clientele regain confidence, and has even penned a best-selling book, "Staging Your Comeback, A Complete Beauty Revival for Women Over 45".
One woman, called Sue, went to Chris for help after losing touch with who she really was.
Sue, of Saint Paul, Minnesota, wanted to move on after recently getting a divorce. She had only a few basic wishes to share with Chris:
"I want to look better than I do, and I have some grey hair I'd like to hide."
Not a challenge for The Makeover Guy!
First up for Sue was the makeup chair. Her makeup artist used a skin-colored powder to cover any areas that were red or dark, lightning the areas and giving her flawless-looking skin.
This was followed up with an all-over brush with a slightly darker color, which, according to the experts, would give Sue a "warmer glow".
Next, it was time to rid Sue of her greys!
Her hairdresser explained that Sue was to become a blondie – though her new boyfriend had no idea of this transformation.
And that was all there was to it – Sue, who just said she wanted to "look better", underwent a complete transformation.
The first thing she said about her new look? "I think I look really hot!"
Sue was clearly impressed with what she saw, and said that she thought everyone should "do this once a year". How about once a week? There's always a reason to dress up and look good!
Christopher and his team have certainly done a fantastic job.
Sue's skin does indeed look radiant, and her blonde hair and glam makeup take years off her. She's wearing a beautiful glittery gold gown that complements her hair and eyeshadow perfectly.
Although Sue admitted that to her, her finished look was a little too high-maintenance makeup-wise, she didn't hesitate to add that she liked the look. She added:
"If when I do something special, if there's ever a special occasion, I'll come in to have some false eyelashes put on. I really like them."
Apparently, Sue had never used falsies before, only mascara, but her makeover has convinced her that they're worth the extra effort!
Although Sue isn't a selfie person, she said she plans to take plenty of her new look.
Though her makeup won't last forever, The Makeover Guy proved something important to Sue: her everyday image could easily be transformed whenever she felt like it.
We don't all look like beauty queens on a daily basis – and nor do we want to be. But it's a fantastic confidence booster for those special occasions, as Sue rightly says!
You can watch the video of Sue's transformation just below.

To protect their local law, Barnstead residents have also voted to strip corporations of their claims to constitutional rights and powers. This is not your father's old "regulatory" approach.

Bishop International Airport to utilize Smart Helmets to measure temperatures, facial recognition
FLINT, Mich. Authorities with Bishop International Airport in Flint announced Friday it will be the first airport in the United States to utilize Smart Helmets. The Smart Helmet, developed by Italian company KeyBiz, can detect the temperature of multiple people, run facial recognition, license plate recognition and scan QR codes. The airport said photographs can be uploaded directly to the helmet itself to allow officers to scan and detect specific faces. READ: A closer look at facial recognition technologyThe Smart Helmets uses an AI module for processing thermal images, augmented reality displays, communication sensors and advanced aerospace technology. KeyBizs Smart Helmet has already been deployed in multiple airports outside of the United States, including Leonardo da VinciFiumicino Airport in Rome -- one of the busiest airports in Europe.
University of Michigan study: Ban facial recognition technology in schools
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Facial recognition technology should not be in schools, according to a new study out of the University of Michigan. Conducted at the University of Michigans Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, authors of the Cameras in the Classroom report recommend that the technology be banned from use in schools. The report states that use of facial recognition in schools would potentially exacerbate existing racial bias as facial recognition algorithms have higher inaccuracy rates with people of color. The study noted the marginalization of nonconforming students, commodifying data and a lack of regulation were additional factors in banning facial recognition in schools. Cameras in the Classroom: Facial Recognition Technology in Schools is a part of the U-M Ford Schools Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program Technology Assessment Project, a think-tank that works to understand the implications of emerging technology and provide evidence-based insight for policy development.

Millions of people are still living without electricity in Puerto Rico, 3 months after Hurricane Maria devastated the Central American island.
Three months after Hurricane Maria swept across Puerto Rico, killing over 1000 people and leaving much more injured, many Puerto Ricans celebrated Christmas day in the dark due to the lack of electrical power across the island.
As a result, food is unable to be stored in refrigerators, there are no running water and traffic lights not working throughout the country amongst numerous other issues.
How many people are there without power?
While it is impossible to know exactly how many people celebrated on the 25th without power because the government's monitoring tools aren't providing reliable readings, their estimates suggest that the electrical grid is operating just over 65% of its capacity while an independent study conducted by local engineers in early December estimated roughly 50% of the island's 3.3 million people remained without power.
Priority was given to hospitals, water treatment plants and other public necessities, and all though most of the country is thought to regain power by the end of February next year, some areas with a rough combined population total of 80,000 households, mostly in the central towns of Lares, Utuado and Adjuntas, might have to wait until May according to the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
How is Christmas being celebrated this year?
Christmas specialities like roast pork are only available at premium prices and traditionally festive town and city squares are withholding Christmas decorations while darkness has also inspired debates about decorating with Christmas lights in homes.
Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (Prepa)'s Director of Occupational Safety and Health, Shehaly Rosado Flores, said power consumption generated by Christmas decor doesn't actually affect their efforts to restore the country's power.
What damage has there been?
There has been considerable damage caused to the already outdated and poorly maintained electrical grid along with the lines which collapsed, the poles which snapped, the towers that fell and the substations that flooded.
Almost 50,000 power poles need to be repaired or replaced along with 500 towers.
Why is reparation taking so long?
The towers are so heavy that even helicopters cannot carry them alone so they have to be installed in stages, a single one of which can ultimately take 10 days to complete.
Additionally, some supplies such as the 30,000 power poles that were ordered two weeks after the hurricane are only beginning to arrive now while some 400 miles of cable are only expected to arrive in Puerto Rico in two weeks time.
Some 3,500 people — from Prepa, the Army Corps and private contractors - are working on restoration and roughly 1,000 more are expected to arrive from other countries in mid-January after signing aid agreements with Puerto Rico.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has allocated $1.8 billion to the Army Corps while Prepa has spent $75 million thus far; $40 million was spent on Cobra, a company hired to do repair work and over $35 million went to Whitefish Energy Holdings, who was hired as part of a controversial $300 million contract.
While FEMA has said it would not be reimbursing Puerto Rico for this particular contract, there are hopes that they will reconsider.
The Unidos Disaster Relief and Recovery Program for Puerto Rico have also provided water filtration systems, medical support, meals, solar lamps, mosquito nets and other supplies to over 500,000 Puerto Ricans along with 3.4m lbs of food and water.
"There is not enough you can say about the need for electricity. You can't operate society without it," José Calderón, President of the Hispanic Federation told The Guardian newspaper.
What other services have been disrupted?
Electricity is not the only public service which has been disrupted, though it has been the slowest to recover from the damage. 12% of petrol stations, 11% of banks and 8% of supermarkets remain closed according to government estimates while Puerto Rico's telecommunications service and the Aqueducts and Sewers Authority are operating at 93% and 94% of their capacity respectively.
How many people are fleeing Puerto Rico?
As a result of the hurricane, some 296,000 people have fled to Florida since October, according to the Florida Division of Emergency Management and it is also estimated that as much as 14% of the population may leave Puerto Rico by 2019, according to The Centre of Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College.

IT'S strange how the death of somebody you didn't know can stick in your head but when it's a 21-year-old who has been fighting cancer for several years, it's difficult for it not to.
I didn't know Graham Parkinson personally, but I know his story and the schoolboy football club he played for. Having beaten it twice, last week he finally lost his battle with cancer which had affected him for much of the last seven years. In the all-too-brief time that the cancer was in remission, as he had done before it came, he played for Belvedere and was among the toughest and most talented players that many in the Dublin club had seen.
"All through his battle with cancer, he showed similar characteristics to how he played on the pitch, he fought it right up until the end and did everything possible to get better," said Martin Cooke of Belvedere in an article by Jamie Moore on the club's website.
His last game for the club was an U-17 All-Ireland final against Carrigaline at Turner's Cross and he scored the decisive penalty in the shootout.
"He had been getting a lot of stick from a big Cork crowd for the whole game, and it was Graham who stepped up to take the last penalty," added Cooke. "If he scored, Belvo won.
"When he was walking up to the spot from the halfway line, there was a lot of screaming and shouting trying to put him off. But, of course, he scored and then gave the crowd a little wave before he celebrated with his team-mates. That sums him up perfectly. And his last touch for the club was to win that All- Ireland title."
In his early teens, he was diagnosed with a rare tumour in his lower back – malignant peripheral nerve sheath – and endured four years of treatment before being given the all-clear and returning to football and scoring that winner at Turner's Cross.
Last April, the cancer returned and, because treatment to shrink the tumour was only available in Germany, a Facebook page and website was set up to generate funding. Alongside his mother, Elaine, Graham spoke eloquently of his battle on TV3 last August. Charity football matches, white-collar boxing events and other fundraisers were organised as the good in him brought out the good in others.
He passed away last Wednesday and was laid to rest on Saturday after a service in a packed church. In that time, his Facebook page filled with messages and tributes for a person who you didn't have to know to admire. May he rest in peace.

There is still no perfect grease for all occasions. You could get away with one choice - probably with Shell 22, a wide-temperature-range synthetic - but we prefer to make two recommendations. You will still only need one grease gun, as one of our two recommendations is strictly for wheel-bearing use.
Interestingly, the use of automotive needs is not a major element in selecting aviation greases. In the auto world, everything is punctuated with extreme pressure (EP) additives such a molybdenum disulfide.
Could you get away with using auto grease in an airplane? It's done every day, but considering the low cost of grease on a relative basis for the individual, why not go with the established and recommended products?
Aviation greases are definitely different from the automotive brands, particularly when they are based on specific standards of cleanliness and what is in the product.
Planes that fly high or in cold weather should definitely stick with the proper selections, since improper grease can become like glue when it's cold enough. Try hitting the tarmac at 100 knots with frozen grease in the wheel bearings for a life-shortening experience in wheel-assembly components.
That squeal you hear is not a pig on the runway, but your bearings pleading for mercy. Fly low and slow and park in nice, dry, warm weather and you might get away with Crisco in the Zerks -- not recommended.


The batteries are described in the SRT owners manual in this way.
These mercury batteries your SRT was designed to use are now very hard to locate, as production has been discontinued in most of the world for very good environmental reasons. There are a number of possible replacements, but none of them result in exactly the same meter readings as the original design, at least without some effort at recalibration. This is because the meter is a very simple circuit which depends upon a specific stable voltage source.
There is a tremendous amount of data on the web regarding ideas for replacement power sources. I think most of these solutions are viable for the SRT application, assuming you have the capability to recalibrate your camera's mechanical and electrical systems. Ok, I'll repeat it, I don't think there is a really ideal solution, without doing some recalibration. It might not matter too much, because it is entirely possible that that 25 year old camera of yours needs recalibration, even if you still use mercury batteries. In any case, once you get the hang of it, and build yourself a tester, recalibration is not very hard to do.
Here is a table detailing some of the possible mercury battery replacement options. This is ordered with my preference at the top and least desirable solution at the bottom. I highly recommend that whatever solution you choose, that you consider calibrating your meter for maximum performance with that power source. See my meter tune-up page for more information.

Q: Main domain & subdomains using the same files Lets say I have domain domain.com
and I want to make 3 subdomains using the same files as main domain

sub1.domain.com
sub2.domain.com
sub3.domain.com

I want to show the same page in all of these subdomains but they have to work separately (without any redirects to main page) so I assume that I have to add some records to .htaccess in public_html? Should I create this subdomains in DA panel or just add some DNS records? should it be CNAME records?
I know I can make 3 subdomains and put the same files to all folders (sub1,sub2,sub3) but its stupid and I know its possible to make it easier.
Can you tell me what should I do in DA and what records add to htaccess, please?

A: If I were you, I would not use rewrite, but rather:
Say you have
1. You are in Linux OS.
2. The main domain www.domain.com is in the directory DocumentRoot = /home/www .

You create symlink like this:
# cd /home
# ln -s ./www sub1
# ln -s ./www sub2
# ln -s ./www sub3

You have no hard copy of files, almost no hard disk usage is required.

Sagrada Familia — We have now to start out right here, as no information to Barcelona would be complete with out the city's most popular construction ever created. Moreover symphony music and opera, the Palau showcases flamenco dances, Spanish guitar gamers, and distinctive international artists. What does it mean to spoil your ballot want you to learn the language, but additionally that you simply feel at residence in this metropolis and in the tradition of the country.
Barcelona's stadium, Camp Nou, was opened in 1957 and it was constructed next to La Masia, which initially served as the membership's headquarters. The European Romantic motion resuscitated Catalan tradition and language just because it was in peril of disappearing.
Moreover, at the present time can be Guide Day, in spanish Día del Libro, which is an international holiday that is enormously celebrated in Spain and in Barcelona. La Masia - which is Catalan for 'the Farmhouse' - is the identify that's typically used to explain the Barcelona youth academy, or cantera (that means 'quarry') to provide its Spanish identify.
Catalonia is one of a few regions in Spain, such as the Basque Country and Galicia, that has its own language aside from Castilian Spanish. All of us at DIME need you to fit in here in Barcelona: our programs are designed in order that you'll learn to speak in Spanish from the very first day.
Separatist fervour soared in 2010 after a ruling by Spain's constitutional courtroom set limits on Catalan claims to nationhood. The BAM (Barcelona Acció Musical) and Sónar (Barcelona Worldwide Pageant of Progressive Music and Multimedia Arts) show that the city is interested in the latest art and music traits.
However what folks generally neglect is that Spain has been one of the cultural facilities of Europe for hundreds of years. Speaking on Friday morning, Spain's inside minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, said sixteen people had been arrested in a single day and 10 law enforcement officials injured.

SU men fall to Baylor in first round of NCAA tournament
SU men fall to Baylor in first round of tournament
Elijah Hughes scored a career-high 25 points in the loss.
Story by Justin Paura
For the first time since 2006, the Syracuse men's basketball team lost its first game in the NCAA Tournament. The 8-seeded Orange were defeated by 9-seed Baylor 78-69 in the Round of 64 Thursday night in Salt Lake City.
The defeat comes just a day after news broke that senior point guard Frank Howard was suspended "indefinitely" for violating athletic department policy.
Everything was clicking for SU in the first half. The team shot over 50 percent from the field and three-point land and scored an uncharacteristic 37 points before the break.
Despite the lethal offensive attack, the defense just was not there Thursday. Baylor hit 10 threes before halftime and added six more in the second half while holding a 54 percent mark for the game. Makai Mason led the way for the Bears with 22 points while Elijah Hughes posted a career-high 25 points with six of his seven made field goals being from beyond the arc.
The Orange had one of its best offensive performances of the year in the loss and head coach Jim Boeheim acknowledged that, but he also noticed that the defense wasn't up to par.
"Both teams shot the ball well; they made some at the end and we missed some at the end," Boeheim said. "We couldn't stop their offense, and they really couldn't stop ours."
SU trailed 38-37 after the first half. The game was knotted up at 57, then Baylor heated up and went on an 11-2 run where the Orange didn't score a field goal for nearly five minutes. Syracuse would get within three points with 3:23 left, but the Bears would not surrender the lead and held on for the win.
"We got off to a really bad start and dug ourselves back into it," Boeheim said. "We come back the whole game from the [first] half, but we really didn't do enough on the defensive end."
Plenty of speculation surrounds junior guard Tyus Battle as to whether he played his final game for Syracuse. After the game, Battle said that he is not making any decisions at this time. He finished the game with 16 points and three assists on 6-15 shooting.
"We didn't have the consistency from the beginning, missing Frank for a long time and then obviously at the end, so it wasn't the year I think it could have been," Boeheim said of the season. "All in all — considering everything — I would say it's been a solid year."
As Syracuse heads home, Baylor stays in Salt Lake City and takes on the 1-seed in the West Region Gonzaga on Saturday.

The charter school movement faces daunting leadership and management challenges, especially as the sector continues its rapid expansion.
For starters, the publicly financed but independently run schools are projected to need between 6,000 and 21,000 new principals over the next decade. That estimate, from the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, dwarfs the 4,300 charter schools in existence as of last school year.
The leadership challenges come as the charter sector is seeking ways to ensure higher, and more consistent, quality among charter schools. The nation's first charter school opened in Minnesota in 1992. Today, charter proponents are responding to concerns about the decidedly mixed achievement results across the schools nationally.
Against this backdrop, Education Week's fifth annual "Leading for Learning" report examines charter leadership and management from multiple angles: the recruitment and preparation of charter school principals; the leadership models employed across the schools; the governance role of charter school boards; efforts by newly emerging charter networks to manage and support schools; and the expansion of state organizations, such as the California Charter Schools Association, to help charters and advocate on their behalf to policymakers.
And in telling the story of how two former Memphis, Tenn., principals decided to open a charter school in New Orleans, the report shows just how much dedication and drive are required to launch and lead such schools.
Finally, the report provides new research and analysis by the National Charter School Research Project at the University of Washington on who the leaders of individual charter schools are, why they take the jobs, and where they struggle most.
One striking finding in the research is that charter school leaders appear to have less experience, in general, running schools than principals of traditional public schools have. At the same time, despite predictions that charters would attract leaders with a more diverse array of professional backgrounds, a relatively small proportion—about 13 percent—came to their current leadership positions from jobs outside education.
While about twice as many charter schools as regular public schools are led by members of minority groups—32 percent vs. 17 percent, based on federal statistics—the proportion of minority charter leaders is still far below minority students' 60 percent share of charter enrollment, it says.
The fifth annual Leading for Learning report, funded by The Wallace Foundation, examines the leadership challenges facing the nation's rapidly growing charter school sector.
With more attention turning to the pipeline for producing charter leaders, the obvious question arises: What makes an effective leader?
Katherine K. Merseth, a senior lecturer at Harvard University's graduate school of education, says she sees some common traits among leaders at five high-performing charter schools in Massachusetts that she studied for an upcoming book.
Merseth also observed some key similarities across the set of Massachusetts charters in how they approach leadership.
In the charter sector, schools are free to devise their own management structures. Such freedom has led to a variety of hybrid approaches in which leadership is distributed across two or more individuals, or where a larger management organization or other support organization takes on core business and operations responsibilities.
Meanwhile, a component of leadership for charter schools that some experts say has not received nearly enough attention is the role of the schools' governing bodies. Those boards generally are responsible for helping shape the schools' direction, hiring principals, and providing oversight of finances and related matters. Many boards are ill-equipped to handle their crucial job effectively, experts say.
Ultimately, the final level of oversight for charter schools is their authorizers, whether state or local boards of education, universities, or other entities. Authorizers are charged by law with approving the creation of charter schools, monitoring their performance, and deciding whether their charters should be renewed or revoked.
Authorizers, too, have attracted growing attention from leaders in the charter movement, amid concern that some of those authorities have done an inadequate job of providing oversight and have failed to shut down consistent low performers.
With thousands of charter schools now up and running—and thousands more likely to open in the coming years—it seems clear that all such elements of effective leadership and management are critically important to ensuring that these public schools of choice deliver on their promise to serve students well.

Very friendly atmosphere and good food as usual.
Excellent food and impeccable service.
The meat was excellent. The salad side wish was very simple though. The staff was extremely friendly. We were nicely surprised by the warm welcome. The interior design was nice, but the two terraces were not very harmonious with the main room.

As Colorado Legalizes Medicinal Psilocybin, the Importance of Educating Voters Becomes Clear
Colorado legalized psilocybin with Ballot Proposal 122 in November's midterm elections. But did advocates for psilocybin legalization properly inform voters about the drug before asking them to vote on it?
RECENT NEWS | 5 MINUTE READ
Without Sufficient Drug Treatment of Addicts, Current Overdose Plateau Will Not Last
Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest a slight leveling-out in overdose deaths across the U.S. This has led some to believe the worst of the addiction epidemic has passed. Unfortunately, no leveling-out or even a downturn in overdoses will become stable and lasting if effective treatment options are not made available to the 23 million addicts at constant risk of an overdose.
STATISTICS AND TRENDS | 5 MINUTE READ
CDC Releases New Guidelines for Opioid Prescribing
The CDC's 2016 opioid prescribing guidelines were important because they advocated caution and a conservative approach to prescribing. But in November 2022, the CDC updated its recommendations, softening its guidelines for doctors prescribing oxycodone and other painkillers.
Marijuana Is on the Ballot, but Are Advocates Ensuring Voters Are Informed?
In the November 2022 midterm elections, marijuana ballot proposals were on the ticket in five states. Voters went to the polls to decide whether or not their states would legalize recreational cannabis use, but were the ballot proposal advocates sufficiently informing voters about marijuana?
Clandestine Labs in the U.S.? Illicit Fentanyl No Longer Just a Transnational Trafficking Problem
When illicit fentanyl production first became a serious problem in the United States, it was almost entirely a trafficking problem, with the fentanyl being made in Mexico and China and then trafficked to the U.S. But according to recent DEA reports, many clandestine labs have cropped up on U.S. soil, labs which are making the potent synthetic opioid and distributing it locally, especially in the form of counterfeit pills.
Most Americans are Open to Non-Opioid Pain Relief Post-Surgery
A survey published by Orlando Health showed that 68% of Americans would be willing to try alternatives to opioids for post-surgery pain. Given that opioid prescriptions are one of the most common ways Americans become addicted to drugs, these findings suggest medical institutions should put in more effort to make alternatives to pain relief available to patients.
As the Holidays Approach, Learning the Signs of Addiction Could Save a Life
With the holidays around the corner, people should familiarize themselves with the signs of substance abuse. Most Americans will spend quality time with family members in the coming weeks, potentially with loved ones they don't see often. Given those unique circumstances, the holidays present an opportune moment to intervene with loved ones if they misuse drugs and alcohol. But first, people must be educated on the signs and symptoms of substance abuse.
DRUG FACTS | 5 MINUTE READ
Drug Rehab Center Admissions Plummeted During Pandemic, Overdoses Followed
During the pandemic, admissions to addiction treatment centers dropped by about 25%. That same year, fatal drug overdoses hit the highest year-over-year increase ever recorded, a 30% spike according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These findings suggest that having access to drug rehab is truly lifesaving.
Small Group of Doctors are Responsible for a Majority of Opioid Prescriptions
Even as opioid prescribing rates decline, a few thousand doctors are still responsible for the significant overprescribing of opioids to the broader public. With that in mind, the American people will not overcome the opioid epidemic until all doctors and prescribers agree to adopt more conservative, cautious prescribing guidelines as outlined by the CDC.
Prevention Does not Work Without Treatment, the Story of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs
Prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) rose to prominence in the early-2000s as a watchdog system for curtailing overprescribing and the diversion of pharmaceuticals into the hands of addicts, not patients. Twenty years later, research shows PDMPs only work when drug rehab is included for those addicted. When rehab is not included alongside PDMPs, addicts seek hard street drugs, and overdoses follow.
High Potency Cannabis Linked to High Risk for Health Problems
It is generally accepted that the more potent a drug is, the more powerful and severe its effects on users. So why is cannabis being treated like the same drug used by previous generations? The cannabis of today is not the cannabis of yesteryear. The serious health problems today's users face stand as evidence of that.
Animal Tranquilizer Xylazine Linked to Overdose Deaths in Michigan
Since 2019, there have been 171 verified overdoses in Michigan that were traced back to a non-opioid animal tranquilizer called xylazine. That number is likely an undercount, but it is the most recent number Michigan toxicologists have published. Often without addicts knowing, drug dealers lace the tranquilizer into other drugs to create an extended high. Unfortunately, combining xylazine with other drugs increases users' risk for an overdose.

Why Drug Prevention Is So Important
Decades of scientific efforts have sought to understand why some people become addicted to drugs and others do not. One research paper suggests the issue is far simpler than what many believed. According to the data, anyone and everyone are at risk for drug and alcohol addiction, hence the importance of educating the public about this critical health risk.
It's in the Water, Opioid Use so Widespread that Tests Now Detect Trace Opioids in Water Supply
From Appalachian wastewater to the Puget Sound, California groundwater to rivers and streams, scientists across the nation have begun detecting trace elements of opioids in water supplies. The presence of opioids in the water could harm individuals who do not want to have any opioids in their bodies and who have a right not to have their bodies influenced by such chemicals. Further, the findings have alarming implications for wildlife if fish, mussels, and other marine life now must evolve to adjust to increased levels of opioid chemicals in the water.
Additional Challenges Faced by Addicted Veterans
Drug addiction affects everyone differently. While such a crisis is unique to the individual, certain demographics face challenges one might not find elsewhere. For example, military veterans who become addicted to drugs and alcohol often feel disinclined to discuss their problems or seek addiction treatment.
Addiction Treatment Should Focus on Individuals, Not Drugs of Choice
A recent study found that 75% of people who come forward and seek addiction treatment are hooked on more than one drug at the time of entry into a treatment facility. Given that most addicts use more than one drug, an effective public health response may be to shift away from focusing on the types of drugs being used and instead focus on the people using them.
Young People at Potentially Highest Risk Ever for Drug Abuse Harm
A recent study has shown that since 2020, youth harm from drug abuse has skyrocketed. Further, this harm has occurred in a very peculiar way. While overall drug use rates have mostly stayed the same for young adult demographics, the harm from drug use (accidents, injuries, overdoses, and fatalities) has skyrocketed. Primarily because of the types of drugs being used, substance abuse is now far more dangerous for young people than it used to be.
The Shocking Role of Methamphetamine in Rural Overdose Deaths
New research has chronicled the alarming rise in methamphetamine-related deaths over the last few years. In the findings, analysts were able to identify where in the U.S., meth-related deaths have been occurring the most. The overwhelming majority of them are happening in rural counties across America. So what has caused the spike in rural methamphetamine overdoses?
New Study Shows LSD Experimentation More than Quadrupled Among Young Adults from 2002 to 2019
Newly published research into youth drug use trends indicates an alarming, unpredicted surge in hallucinogen use. Those who are now hooked will need help getting off such drugs. Further, understanding what prompted the surge will be crucial in preventing more young people from experimenting with mind-altering drugs.
There Is No Age at Which Alcohol Is Good For You
A number of research papers seem to reinforce the view that alcohol consumption is never a healthy choice, regardless of age or how much alcohol one consumes.
How Did West Virginia Become the State Hardest Hit by the Opioid Epidemic?
Every state in the nation has felt the hardship of the opioid addiction crisis. But no state has been hit harder than West Virginia, where several factors came together to create the worst drug problem the nation has seen in decades.
Sober Does Not Mean Boring
Boredom is a dangerous condition for a person determined to stay sober. It's smart for anyone in recovery to know the best ways to prevent themselves from feeling bored. The payoff is not only sobriety but often includes achievement of personal goals, attainment of greater skills, and the chance to help others.
RECOVERY ADVICE | 7 MINUTE READ
Study Finds Adolescents Have a 3X Risk for Developing Cannabis Addiction
A recent study of 274 people found that adolescent cannabis users were three times more likely to develop severe cannabis addiction than other age groups. While cannabis poses an addiction risk for all people who experiment with it, younger users may be at significantly higher risk.
Change Your Environment, A Critical Strategy in Overcoming Addiction
It's been understood for some time that individuals newly in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction should not re-enter the same environments they were in when they were abusing substances. While this has always been a common sense view, there is new scientific research to provide evidence-based confirmation for why recovering addicts must seek new environments.
Simple Rule Change Could Expand Efficacy of Opioid Prescribing Guidelines
In 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a set of prescribing guidelines, written in a way to encourage doctors to curb excessive opioid prescribing. The guidelines were somewhat effective, and overall prescribing trends did recede. However, recent data shows that another small but critical change to the prescribing guidelines could significantly reduce opioid addiction and overdose in the United States.
An Occasional Party with Lots of Alcohol? Still Harmful, New Study Shows
Most Americans don't see any harm in binge drinking occasionally, maybe just a couple of weekends a year. However, this behavior is quite harmful. A new study shows that people who binge drink at all, even if just once every few months or on holidays, are at several times more risk of developing alcohol addiction than those who do not binge drink at all.
The Dangerous Effects of Speedballing
Speedballing is not a new trend, but it is a trend that is changing and becoming more dangerous. Unfortunately, as more people seek to mix stimulant drugs with opioids or "speedball," more people will die from overdoses caused by such lethal cocktails. And with the ever-expanding addition of fentanyl into the drug supply, addicts are at even greater risk.
U.S. Overdose Rates Rise Again in 2021, But at a Slower Pace
Alarm bells are ringing across public health and research sectors from the east coast to the west and everywhere in between. Drug-related fatalities continue to rise, with no apparent end in sight. Yet drug overdoses are preventable, and there are effective tools for combating drug addiction.
Current Trends In MDMA Usage
MDMA usage trends and statistics have shifted over time, presenting public health officials and family members with new challenges in combatting the problem.
Inhalants Commonly Abused in Growing Trend
Inhalants refer to a broad range of household and industrial chemicals whose volatile vapors or pressurized gases cause a mind-altering effect when breathed through the nose or mouth. Such vapors produce intoxication in a manner not intended by the manufacturer. In fact, many of these substances are actually poisonous to inhale, and they carry warning labels that specifically caution people not to inhale them.
What Are Poppers?
It's important to monitor new drug trends as they arise, as every trend brings new risks to addicts. While the usage of "poppers" is not new, this drug trend is making a bold comeback, posing risks to a new generation of drug users.
Hallucinogens Show Potentially Deadly Rise in Use
If a drug has the potential to create mind-altering effects in those who use it, then that drug has the potential to cause harm. And while hallucinogenic drugs do not cause the high overdose rates or critical public health crises associated with other narcotics, such substances are still physically and mentally debilitating and overall quite harmful. This article aims to cover basic trends in usage and the statistics surrounding hallucinogen abuse in the United States.
Club Drugs Show Rising Usage Across the United States
Not all mind-altering substances receive equal attention from the media, policymakers, and public health officials. But any drug has the potential to harm the user, hence the importance of understanding usage trends and statistics for all drugs. This article briefly highlights relevant trends and statistics regarding club drug usage.
Take-Back Days One of Many Options for Disposing Prescription Drugs
One of the crucial components in reducing drug experimentation and addiction is ensuring people do not have easy access to drugs. To that point, prescription drug take-back programs may be one of America's best efforts for reducing youth exposure to addictive pharmaceuticals.
A Hidden Killer, Illicit Adderall May Not Be Adderall At All
New and dangerous trends manifesting in the illicit drug use community reflect a dire need for addicts to seek treatment now.
Overdose Deaths Contribute to Decline in Life Expectancy
While the entire world experienced a drop in human life expectancy in the last two years, the drop in the United States was much more pronounced than the global average, leading many experts to believe overdose deaths had an alarming effect on American mortality rates.
Treating Addiction Provides Lasting Economic Benefits
Though it is not often mentioned by the media, there is a broader economic cost to the national public health emergency of drug and alcohol addiction. Addiction is expensive, not just for addicts, but for all Americans. Conversely, solving America's addiction epidemic and returning millions of recovering addicts to the workforce would benefit the economy.
Driven by Fentanyl, Teenage Drug Overdoses Doubled
New research shows that adolescent Americans, who had been experiencing a drop in drug use for part of the 21st century, saw their overdose death rate double in just one year, 2020. Experts believe that the recent spike in teen overdose deaths have been driven almost entirely by fentanyl overdoses.
Marijuana Use Linked to Consequences in Young Users
A common narrative heard circulating amongst the proponents of cannabis legalization is that cannabis is not dangerous and therefore should be legal. This narrative is not just misleading; it's largely untrue. As cannabis research continues, scientists and researchers are finding many dangerous health complications intimately connected to cannabis.
No Amount of Alcohol Consumption Is Good For You
A recent study seems to dispel the age-old belief that just a little bit of alcohol has heart health benefits. Contrary to that belief, rather than being beneficial, any alleged "benefits" once observed in people who drank alcohol in moderation were likely caused by other factors, like an active lifestyle. Alcohol consumption, even when done in moderation, poses a severe risk of harming one's health, not benefiting it.
Alcohol's Assault on the Body
The consumption of alcohol is so ingrained in many cultures that it is accepted without question. What may go unnoticed is the millions of deaths it causes every year around the world. The deadly character of alcohol should be understood by everyone.
Ten Summer Activities That Are More Fun Sober
During my early sobriety, one of the biggest obstacles I found that kept me from living a life of recovery was the fear that I wouldn't be able to have fun without alcohol. Looking back on this now, I can see how crazy that thought was...
Study Finds Cannabis Manufacturers are Marketing Products to Young Audience
In the late 20th century, tobacco and alcohol companies were caught using marketing techniques to advertise their products to young people. Today, it would appear that cannabis companies are attempting similar strategies to widen their customer base to include a younger demographic.
Missteps in Oregon Decriminalization Illustrate Need for Additional Addiction Treatment Resources
In 2020, Oregon passed decriminalization legislation to reduce the harmful effects of the addiction-to-prison pipeline and the failed war on drugs. However, new data shows that the implementation of the state's program fell short of properly incentivizing addicts to seek treatment. The result was a less effective plan than intended and addicts continuing to use drugs.
Further Consequences of Drug Addiction Emerge
Researchers at the University of New England found that the rate of opioid-related cardiac arrests has risen dramatically and is now on par with the rate of cardiac arrest from other causes. The research sheds light on yet another major health risk connected to opioid addiction, i.e., the risk for suffering a potentially fatal heart complication.
What Is Synthetic Marijuana?
While the number of cases of synthetic marijuana are declining, this drug isn't any less dangerous. Synthetic marijuana is a volatile and unpredictable drug.
Prescription Stimulants and Sedatives Pose Severe Risks for Young People
New information shows that young people are increasingly overdosing on prescription drugs, namely psychotropic medications such as benzodiazepines and prescription stimulants.
What Happens When Abuse-Deterrent Pharmaceuticals are Still Abused
When prescription drug abuse really began to take off in the U.S., causing unprecedented deaths and destruction, many Americans chose to blame the pharmaceutical companies which made the drugs. And this was the right place to lay the blame, or at least most of it.
Emerging Opioid Threat From New Synthetic Drug
Nitazenes are a new type of opioid drug said to be 800 times more potent than morphine and 40 times more potent than fentanyl. This drug has not yet been approved for human consumption in the U.S., and it is not FDA approved. But could nitazenes become the next "super opioid" to hit the streets?
What Are Hallucinogens and Psychedelics?
Depicted in movies and popular music and pop culture as a way to "Expand Your Mind", hallucinogens have been circulating in modern society for over fifty years and doing a lot of damage along the way. Some of the names are, shrooms, angel dust, hell's bells, and acid. Acid, also known as LSD, is the granddaddy of these drugs in terms of strength and unpredictability.
Addiction Recovery: An Ongoing Process
Making the decision to go to rehab and get help to overcome addiction is a big step, and one of the most important ones on the road to recovery. Sticking through a rehab program and successfully completing it is another big milestone along the way.
Addiction in America
Addiction is such a pervasive problem in America that one in eight Americans suffer from this problem. Grasping the extent of the problem is a vital first step to resolving it successfully.
Tianeptine: a New Illicit Drug Poses Serious Addiction Risk
Tianeptine is a relatively new pharmaceutical drug that is being misused for its mind-altering properties, leading to overdoses and harsh consequences. Given the harmful nature of drug abuse and the growing addiction crisis across America, it's important to stay on top of emerging drug trends like tianeptine abuse and addiction.
Long-Term Health Risks after Years of Alcohol
There is no doubt that drinking to excess creates harm and risk, both for the person consuming alcohol and for those around him or her. Unfortunately, young people are not only drinking more alcohol, but they're also consuming alcohol at a younger age.
What Exactly Is Khat?
The drug is not too common in the U.S. (although that is difficult to determine because the U.S. does not record statistics on khat usage). However, about 20 million people worldwide use khat for its stimulant-like and mind-altering properties.
Marijuana-Related Traffic Accidents
Most of the focus regarding impaired driving goes to drunk driving. But what about drugged driving? What about marijuana-impaired driving?

In today's world, a smartphone has become a device that everyone owns. While most of us handle our smartphones with great care, keeping them from falling or getting scratches seems to be impossible. A month is all it takes for your new smartphone to start looking old. One way in which you can keep it looking new is by using a case or a cover. Cases and covers are also a good way of making your smartphone look more stylish. Your iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy J7 will now look more stylish and new and it will have fewer scratches.
You can opt for these cases and covers based on their prints that come in different themes like automobiles, comics & cartoons, famous personalities, festivals & occasions, graffiti, illustrations, movies, nature, and other such patterns. Cases with musical symbols and pictures of musical instruments are something that music lovers will enjoy flaunting. If you are a nature lover, you can have fun browsing through the range of cases that come with pictures of leaves, trees, and flowers. You will even come across cases that have tattoo designs and typography.
Cases and covers are designed to fit your phone perfectly and also allow you to operate the volume and power buttons easily. You can also choose them based on different types such as back cover, flip cover, arm band case, bumper, grip back, shock-proof, pouch, wallet case, holster, book cover, dot view case, keyboard case, and many other types. Flip covers are a preferred choice of many because they provide complete protection to your phone from scratches, bumps and accidental drops.
Because these covers provide protection to your phone and prevent it from scratches, the material that these covers are made of plays an important role. There are often made from materials like artificial leather, cloth, leather, metal, plastic, rubber, silicon, and some are even made of wood. Since they come in a wide range of attractive colors, you can opt for a color that you like and something that complements your phone well. They are available for almost all brands of smartphones.
Gone are the days when you had to go from one store to another in order to buy a product. The emergence of online shopping portals has changed the way we shop. Sitting in the comfort of your home, you can now buy cases and covers online. Browse through and choose from brands like Samsung, Dev International, Motorola, Chumbak, Dev, Asus, Apple, and many others. You can even compare between two or more models in terms of features and price.


The diesel engines in automobiles, buses, and trucks produce exhaust from the combustion of diesel fuel. Diesel exhaust is made up of harmful chemicals including very small toxic particles and hazardous gases. Some of the hazardous gases in diesel exhaust (e.g. nitrogen oxides, benzene, sulfur dioxide and formaldehyde) have been found to possibly cause cancer.
Breathing diesel exhaust is the most common method of exposure. As we breathe, the fine particles and toxic gases in diesel exhaust can enter into the lungs. Being exposed to diesel exhaust for short periods of time may cause headaches, nausea, chest tightness, wheezing, cough and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat.
Exposure to diesel exhaust over long periods of time (usually years) may increase the chances of getting cancer. Those workers who already have respiratory illnesses, such as bronchitis, emphysema and/or asthma, may be adversely affected if they are exposed to long-term, or chronic exposure to diesel exhaust.
Workers most likely to be exposed to diesel exhaust include bridge, tunnel, and loading dock workers, truck and bus maintenance garage workers, miners, toll booth collectors, truck and forklift drivers, and material handling machine operators.
Where possible, replace diesel engines with propane engines. Propane burns more completely with fewer emissions than diesel fuel. However, it is important to ensure there is adequate ventilation when using any combustion engine (diesel or propane) indoors, such as in warehouses or garages. Breathing harmful levels of combustion gases, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides can be harmful to your health.
If you cannot replace your diesel engine, diesel exhaust can be removed by using local exhaust ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation should include both intake and exhaust fans that remove diesel exhaust at its source. General ventilation air movement by opening doors, windows, roof vents, roof fans and floor fans is helpful, but not as effective as local exhaust ventilation.
When diesel equipment is not in use, the engine should not be allowed to idle.
Diesel equipment should be turned off and restarted as needed.
Enforce diesel equipment (bus, truck, etc) idling restrictions.
Check all ventilation systems to ensure proper functioning.
Conduct routine maintenance of engines to minimize emissions.
Diesel equipment that is producing visible, smoky exhaust should be removed from service until the condition has been corrected. · Vehicles should be fitted with emission controls (e.g. collectors, air cleaners, ceramic particle traps, etc.).
Emissions controls should be checked regularly and replaced when necessary.
If you have any health concerns or questions, contact your health care provider.


A former Microsoft intern claims that Google introduced minor code into YouTube in an effort to sabotage the Microsoft Edge browser.
Google just issued a statement denying the validity of the claim.
This isn't the first time someone has alleged that Google purposely gives other browsers disadvantages.
Earlier this week, Joshua Bakita, a former software engineering intern at Microsoft, posted a comment to Hacker News which lays out a stunning allegation: that Google allegedly tweaked YouTube code in order to hinder other browsers' use of YouTube content, specifically Microsoft Edge.
According to Bakita, Google introduced "a hidden empty div" over YouTube videos, which caused no effect in Chrome browsers but caused the Edge browser's hardware acceleration fast-path to malfunction. The result of this hidden code made YouTube videos display faster and more efficiently in Google Chrome than in Microsoft Edge.
Bakita points to this alleged coding trick as an example of Google's playing dirty to keep Chrome on top and other browsers struggling. He also says it is one example of why Microsoft is overhauling the Edge browser and re-building it with Chromium as its base, which will make it work more like Google Chrome.
According to the YouTube spokesperson, the "hidden empty div" code Bakita suggests was sabotage was actually simply a bug, which has now been fixed.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time someone has claimed that Google stacks the deck in favor of Chrome. Earlier this year, a Mozilla program manager claimed YouTube code created a page load bottleneck for Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge, resulting in five-fold speed deprecation in non-Chrome browsers. The Mozilla employee pointed to a Firefox extension which circumvented the problem.
What do you think? Is Google playing dirty in the browser wars, or are these isolated incidents of bugs blown out of proportion? Let us know your opinions in the comments.

Home/Tech News/TikTok confirms that its own employees can determine what goes viral
TikTok confirms that its own employees can determine what goes viral
TikTok confirmed this Forbes that some of its US employees have the ability to incentivize videos to "introduce celebrities and emerging creators to the TikTok community." The statement comes as part of a report about TikTok's "Heating" button, that one Forbes says can be used to post selected videos to users' "For You" pages, boosting views by bypassing the algorithm that supposedly powers the TikTok experience.
Jamie Favazza, a spokesperson for TikTok, shared Forbes that increasing the number of views of certain videos is not the only reason for heating. TikTok will also "promote some videos to diversify the content experience" (read: make sure your feed doesn't consist entirely of one or two trends), he said. Favazza also suggests that TikTok doesn't do it that often, claiming that only ".002% of videos in For You feeds" are heated. According to an internal document obtained by Forbesbut heated videos reportedly make up "about 1-2 percent" of "total daily video views."
TikTok's heating can make creators and brands feel like they're winning on the platform
Heated videos do not come with a label to show that they have been promoted by TikTok, such as ads or sponsored posts, according to the report. Instead, they look like all the other videos the algorithm would have selected for you.
The news is not necessarily a surprise. There have been has been reporting for years that TikTok used promises of promoted content to convince politicians and businesses to use its platform, and companies, especially in the music industry, have made no secret of it use the platform to promote their brands.
TikTok would also be far from the only social media company promoting videos in an unnatural way. Facebook reportedly knew it was showing too high a view count and didn't immediately fix it to lure advertisers and media companies to its platform. (It ended up paying $40 million settle a lawsuit on the matter.) While that's not exactly the same scenario – TikTok videos really do seem to get real views, even if they don't organically go viral – the effect could be similar; people end up thinking they will do better on TikTok than they actually will.
It also means that TikTok picks winners and losers: creators and brands can lose a spot on someone's For You page to someone who has a closer relationship with the company. According to Forbesthere have been incidents of employees heating up content they shouldn't have, promoting videos from friends, partners, and even their own accounts.
Creators may also lose interest in the platform if their videos underperform compared to videos being promoted, as TikTok's lack of transparency around being overheated makes it difficult to determine which videos topped organically.
