What Is Codeine, and Is It Addictive?
Codeine (methyl morphine) is an opioid medication typically taken in pill or liquid form. It is in the same class as other narcotics such as morphine (from which codeine is derived) and heroin.
As a medication, codeine is often used to treat chronic pain from cancer and other serious illnesses. It's also sometimes used to treat chronic cough, often mixed with other medications such as a decongestant or expectorant. 1,2
Codeine may be effective in treating nighttime restless leg syndrome, especially if symptoms aren't relieved by other drugs. It has also been found to be effective in treating persistent diarrhea as a result or symptom of serious illness.2
As a prescription opioid, codeine is one of several prescription medications (along with oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine and others) that has contributed to a significant rise in opioid abuse and overdose deaths over the last decade. From 2004 to 2016, there were over 40,000 codeine-related adverse drug events reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), resulting in just over 7,200 deaths.3 Although not as deadly as oxycodone, hydrocodone and fentanyl, the number of deaths resulting from codeine use is still significant.3
The United States Drug Enforcement Agency has classified codeine as a Schedule II drug, meaning that it has high potential for abuse and addiction, and it can only be legally obtained with a prescription from a physician.4 However, drugs containing less than 90 mg of codeine are classified as Schedule III drugs, suggesting a lower potential for addiction and abuse but still needing a prescription.4
How Codeine Affects the Brain
As a narcotic medication, codeine's mechanism of action is similar to other opioid drugs like morphine. It binds to receptors in the brain that are specialized receptors for endogenous opioid-like neurotransmitters. These particular neurotransmitters are involved in controlling pain and reducing the sensation of fatigue. Along with dopamine-facilitated neurotransmitters in the brain that are abundant in areas associated with reward and reinforcement, they produce feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and a sense of the general overall wellbeing. The reinforcing effects of opioid drug use contribute primarily to their potential for leading to abuse and addiction.2,5
Potential Adverse Reactions to Codeine
Potential adverse reactions to codeine include:2
Vomiting.
Constipation.
Difficulty or painful urination.
Stomach pain.
Abdominal cramps.
Decreased libido.
Other changes in mood.
More serious potential side effects include:2
Confusion or other mental status changes.
Difficulties with breathing or swallowing.
Changes in heartbeat such as fast, irregular, or even pounding heartbeat.
Seizures or convulsions.
Changes in vision.
Extreme lethargy or sleepiness.
Rashes or hives that may represent allergic reactions.
Indications of overdose include:2
Clammy or cold skin.
Extremely slowed breathing or extreme difficulty breathing (respiratory depression).
Extremely decreased heart rate.
A loss of muscle tone.
Unconsciousness and coma.
Other potential serious side effects from long-term codeine use are its potential to result in physical dependence and/or the development of a substance use disorder.
Causes of Codeine Addiction
At this time, there are no definitive causes to explain the development of a substance use disorder to any particular drug or in any particular individual. Research indicates that the development of substance use disorders is caused by a combination of factors that include the person's genetic makeup, family history, psychological history, experiences, peer group, and a number of other potential factors.6
However, drugs that typically are capable of inducing physical dependence are also drugs that are believed to have a high potential for addiction. The reason for this is that the withdrawal syndrome associated with these drugs makes it particularly difficult for individuals to stop using the drug on their own, and when they experience withdrawal symptoms the quickest way for them to address these symptoms is to take more of the drug. Continuing to take more and more of a drug in spite of negative consequences is a hallmark of addictive behavior.5
Signs of Addiction to Codeine
Some general signs of codeine addiction include:7
Cravings for codeine.
Losing interest in activities that used to be interesting and engaging.
Taking larger doses of codeine than prescribed or taking the drug more frequently than prescribed.
Obtaining codeine illegally.
Taking codeine for reasons other than its normal intended use, such as to cope with everyday activities or to feel good.
Sudden changes in mood.
Continuing to use codeine in spite of experiencing negative consequences.
Experiencing a decline in performance at work or school.
Having relationship problems as a result of codeine use.
Spending more and more time obtaining codeine or recovering from its use.
Unsuccessful attempts to quit use of the drug.
Missing important commitments as a result of use or intoxication.
Expressing a desire to quit using codeine but not being able to.
Getting angry when confronted about use of the drug.
Coming to work or attending family functions while under the influence of the drug.
Changes in physical appearance that include being disheveled or lax in one's grooming habits.
Treatment for Codeine Addiction
Codeine is a narcotic medication. It's a short-acting opioid that's chemically similar to heroin and produces similar effects in the body, including tolerance and physical dependency, which can lead to addiction.8,9 Like other opioids, it can induce some fairly powerful withdrawal effects.
For people who have developed physical dependence to codeine, withdrawal begins within 8-24 hours of last use and lasts approximately 4-10 days. Withdrawal symptoms may include:8,9
Cravings.
Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Insomnia and sleep problems.
Hot and cold flashes, including goosebumps.
Muscle cramps.
Increased irritability.
Effective treatment of an opioid use disorder employs both the use of medications and behavioral therapy.7,8 Prescription medication such as methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone can help reduce uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms, particularly cravings—which helps to prevent relapse.7 Depending on a person's level of withdrawal severity and the support they'll need to recover from their addiction to codeine, withdrawal management may be performed in either inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment programs.10
Inpatient treatment programs allow for closely supervised withdrawal by medical professionals as well as a multidisciplinary team that can cover different aspects of recovery. It also provides a safe environment for recovery and facilitates interactions with other people who are in recovery. This allows for both individual and group therapy sessions, which may help prevent relapse.10
Mutual-help groups, such as those held by 12-step programs like Narcotics Anonymous, offer a structured program built around social support that may be helpful throughout an individual's recovery from codeine addiction.10 They are free and easy to access, with meetings available in nearly every city at nearly every time of day.

stated on February 2, 2022 in a Facebook ad:
"Nevada ranks 50th in election integrity ratings."

By Amy Sherman February 14, 2022
Fact-checking a claim that Nevada ranks close to last on election integrity
A political ad says that Nevada ranked 50th in "election integrity ratings" with no additional details. The claim is based on only one rating from the Heritage Foundation that reflected concerns about potential voter fraud but did not consider ballot access or voter convenience.
Other groups' analyses of states' voting laws or outcomes have given significantly higher marks to Nevada. For example, MIT's Elections Performance Index, which looks at outcomes such as voter turnout and how long voters wait in line, ranked Nevada 14th in 2018.
Nevada was one of the battleground states where former President Donald Trump spun falsehoods that the 2020 election was rigged and that the state was sending ballots to dogs.
Nevada is now one of many states where Republicans running in 2022 primaries vow to improve election integrity, including Jesse Haw, a former state senator and Reno-based developer who's running for secretary of state. The candidates are running to replace term-limited Barbara Cegavske.
Haw wants to get rid of Nevada's system of sending a mail ballot to every voter, add a photo ID requirement for in person voting, and require ID verification such as a driver's license to vote by mail. Haw says Nevada has a long way to go to improving elections.
"Nevada ranks 50th in election integrity ratings," he said in a Feb. 2 Facebook ad.
We were curious whether Nevada did rank last and how such a ranking would be compiled. While Haw's statement suggests there were multiple ratings, it is based on one. And it comes from a group with a strict view of election integrity that tends to align with laws Republicans favor.
Haw said his ad was referring to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative organization that in December announced a state-by-state election integrity scorecard. Heritage ranked Nevada 50th, ahead of only Hawaii. (The District of Columbia was included in the ranking). Georgia ranked first.
The scorecard does not champion ease of voting or ballot access. Instead, it opposes expansive voting by mail and rewards tighter election rules such as strict photo ID requirements.
"They have a one-sided view of what's important," said Matthew Weil, an elections expert at the Bipartisan Policy Center. "They really focus on what they deem to be integrity measures."
Other groups that analyze state election laws or outcomes gave Nevada higher marks than Heritage did.
Heritage's scorecard is based on their views of state election laws
Heritage's methodology is based on examining 12 areas of state election law. States with expansive mail voting policies — such as sending a mail ballot to every voter, as Nevada does — lose out on points. The state also lost points for having same-day voter registration and automatic voter registration where people can register to vote at the DMV.
The point system is "essentially anti-mail voting," said Thessalia Merivaki, a political scientist and expert on elections at Mississippi State University.
Among Heritage's critiques of Nevada are that it has "unattended, unsecure drop boxes." A state law passed in 2021 says that drop boxes must be secure, locked, and made of metal — but it doesn't state that election workers must stand by the boxes or have security cameras on them. Jennifer Russell, a spokesperson for the secretary of state, told us that most drop boxes are attended by election workers. (Ballot drop boxes are generally more secure than mailboxes.)
Heritage also deducted points because Nevada doesn't use a federal database called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, to verify whether voters are citizens. But few states use SAVE to verify citizenship, and when Florida tried using SAVE to find noncitizen voters in 2012, it went so poorly, it scrapped the effort.
In Nevada, citizenship is validated by the voter through an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury when registering to vote, Russell said. The state conducts a post-election audit of the voter rolls and refers for investigation anyone identified as potentially falsifying this requirement.
We found at least one indicator in Heritage's assessment that appeared to be wrong.
Heritage said Nevada does not have "procedures to investigate the validity of a registration when an absentee ballot is returned undeliverable by the post office." But Russell told us if a ballot is returned as undeliverable, the clerk or registrar follows up with the voter to confirm their address. If the voter does not reply within 33 days, their voter registration is inactivated. Absentee ballots are not accepted if they do not match an active registered voter.

The election in Brazil "was very clearly a rigged election."
By Jeff Cercone • January 12, 2023
Evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election in Nevada was scarce. An AP investigation found roughly 90 possible cases out of more than 1.4 million votes cast.
Danielle Strasburger, a spokesperson for Verified Voting, a group that advocates for safer election technology, said Heritage doesn't evaluate whether states conduct post-election audits or use voter-verified paper ballots, a system that allows voters to print out the ballot to check it over before finalizing their votes.
"At a time when voter concerns about hacking of voting machines and electronic counts have never been greater, paper ballots and audits provide a much-needed basis for confidence in election outcomes," Strasburger said.
Heritage's scorecard, Merivaki said, shows "a clear bias about specific processes, such as absentee voting. It completely ignores security protocols that states have to ensure secure voting."
Some elections experts agreed with parts of Heritage's methodology, such as giving states points for participating in the Electronic Registration Information Center, a consortium that helps states maintain accurate voter rolls, while disputing other parts of their methodology.
"To their credit, they identify some healthy election practices, such as participation in the interstate program ERIC, but they also look down on practices that would actually create more accurate voter rolls and improve the voting experience for citizens, such as automatic voter registration," said Matthew Germer, a fellow at the R Street Institute, a right-of-center think tank.
Different conclusions about Nevada's elections
We found other groups have rated states' elections on more diverse criteria.
One of the longest-running and most frequently quoted analyses is the Elections Performance Index, developed with guidance from officials who work in elections and now run by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In 2018, Nevada scored an 80% and ranked 14th. (The group plans to publish the 2020 index in a couple of weeks).
Charles Stewart, an MIT professor who runs the index, said it takes into account convenience and security, although security can be a challenge to measure.
Another analysis of state election practices was developed by a group of nonprofit think tanks across the political spectrum including R Street and the Bipartisan Policy Center. The group agreed on minimum standards for voter registration, casting a ballot, counting votes and security, and it calls on the federal government to give grants to states that meet those standards.
The group found that two states — Colorado and Georgia — meet all the recommendations. Nevada was in compliance with 83% of the standards, placing it in the top fifth of the states.
Other analyses rate states on ease of voting by mail. One of them, from the National Vote at Home Institute, gave Nevada its top rating, five stars, for 2021. Nevada got high marks because it sends all voters a mail ballot, provides online registration, provides multiple places to return mail ballots and takes steps toward securing the voter rolls.
Haw said in a Facebook ad, "Nevada ranks 50th in election integrity ratings."
The ad suggests that multiple ratings have found Nevada in last place, but that's not true. The 50th place rating came from the conservative Heritage Foundation, which tied its rating solely to security issues, not ballot access or voter convenience.
Other groups that considered multiple issues found that Nevada was not significantly worse than other states. MIT's Elections Performance Index, for example, ranked Nevada 14th in 2018. The National Vote at Home Institute gave Nevada five stars, its top rating, in June based on policies that include ease of voting by mail.
The statement has an element of truth but leaves out critical context that would give a different impression. We rate this statement Mostly False.

Sweeping investigation into sexual misconduct in Wisconsin National Guard could trigger overhaul

Sweeping investigation into sexual misconduct in Wisconsin National Guard could trigger overhaul The investigation included 78 interviews and 1,100 documents.

Molly Beck, Katelyn Ferral and Patrick Marley Published 11:01 a.m. CT Dec. 5, 2019 | Updated 2:55 p.m. CT Jan. 17, 2020
MADISON - Federal investigators have completed a sweeping investigation into how the Wisconsin National Guard handles allegations of sexual assault and harassment among its ranks — a review that will soon be made public and could trigger major changes within the Guard.
Gov. Tony Evers said Thursday that within days he will make public the findings of a seven-month investigation by National Guard Bureau's Office of Complex Investigations into whether the Guard allowed sexual predators to go unchecked and retaliated against victims.
The governor said he will then announce next steps to "ensure that our men and women in uniform work in an environment free from sexual assault, sexual harassment and retaliation."
The results of the investigation, called for by Evers and U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldin in April, come just days after The Capital Times revealed federal investigators conducting the review believe guard officials' response to sexual assault allegations were "an absolute train wreck."
In the wake of the report, GOP Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald promised changes and said Evers, a Democrat, must respond to the issue.
"It is the responsibility of the Department of Military Affairs to keep the brave men and women serving our state safe," Fitzgerald said in his statement. "Clearly changes must be made."
Evers and Baldwin requested the review after a series of complaints from Army and Air Force National Guard members in the state alleging that investigations were conducted improperly, largely kept in-house and that those who reported problems faced retribution.
The report includes findings of in-depth interviews with 78 Wisconsin National Guard staff, a review of more than 1,100 documents and visits to 10 military installations statewide.
The bureau conducting the investigation is a federal administrative agency run by the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force that oversees National Guards units nationwide.
In a letter to legislative leaders from both parties, Evers said his office had received the report on Nov. 25 and has held it until Adjutant General Donald Dunbar could be reached and briefed on its findings.
Dunbar was in Afghanistan over Thanksgiving and is slated to be briefed on the report on Saturday, according to Evers spokeswoman Melissa Baldauff.
One federal investigator said that the state's attempt to prosecute a soldier for sexual assault through its military justice process was "not the only case that was a train wreck in the Wisconsin National Guard," according to an audio recording of the interview obtained by the Capital Times.
The federal investigation was called for after allegations were also made by Master Sgt. Jay Ellis in which he accused Air Force National Guard leadership of retaliation and poorly handled allegations. Baldwin asked for a review by Air Force leaders in November 2018.
Around the same time, the Wisconsin National Guard sought to put in writing an agreement with the state Department of Justice that allows the department to handle investigations of allegations of sexual misconduct instead of federal authorities outside the state.
In October 2018, then-Attorney General Brad Schimel signed an agreement to get those federal authorities "off the back" of the Guard's chief, an email from his top aide shows.
The email from Delanie Breuer, Schimel's chief of staff, was obtained by reporters Thursday, just after federal investigators completed their investigation.
"The purpose of the (agreement) is mainly to get the federal National Guard Bureau off the back of (Dunbar) – (the National Guard Bureau) is currently stepping in on all investigations that don't otherwise have a neutral third party," Breuer wrote in a Sept. 13, 2018, email to her boss.
"It basically spells out what (DOJ) would already do ... It's just putting it in writing for (Dunbar)," she wrote.
The DOJ agreed in writing to make available investigators to the Wisconsin National Guard to review such allegations. Earlier this year, a Guard spokesman said all reports made by victims who want an investigation are first referred to local law enforcement.
In the 2018 email, Breuer said the purpose of the agreement was to keep the National Guard Bureau out of state investigations and would not add any new responsibilities to the department. She said the agreement was just putting practice into writing.
"I'm hoping if I keep doing him favors, I'll get a ride on an F-35," Breuer joked about Dunbar to her boss.
Breuer, who left DOJ after Schimel lost his re-election bid, said Thursday the agreement was meant to codify what DOJ was already doing and to meet requirements set by the National Guard Bureau. She said that the bureau requested the agreement be in writing.
"DOJ took all sexual assault complaints seriously, and was not aware of any cases happening at (Department of Military Affairs) unless they were referred to DOJ," she said.
Schimel, now a Waukesha County Circuit Court judge, did not respond Thursday to a voicemail with questions about the email. He was in court throughout the day.
Gillian Drummond, a DOJ spokeswoman, said as of Thursday that the Guard has not referred any cases to the agency since the agreement was reached.
Drummond said Attorney General Josh Kaul, who took office in 2019, believes that all sexual assault and harassment allegations must be taken seriously and that the email did not reflect his viewpoint of the agreement.
"Wisconsin Department of Justice has been waiting to revisit the (agreement) with the Wisconsin National Guard pending the results of the federal investigation," she said.
A spokesman for the Guard did not immediately respond to emailed questions.
Legislative leaders have been invited to a Monday briefing on the report.
In a four-page letter to Fitzgerald in March, Dunbar defended the Guard's policies and procedures.
"The Wisconsin National Guard has taken numerous steps in recent years to protect service members and to prevent assault or harassment from taking place," Dunbar wrote to Fitzgerald. "We have also made it a priority to investigate allegations and, when those allegations are substantiated, prosecute and punish offenders."
Dunbar said the Guard has a zero-tolerance policy and that "our leaders work actively to foster a culture of trust that encourages reporting and seeks to ensure that victims feel comfortable coming forward."
Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, in February asked Dunbar for a review of policies and possible changes to improve the Guard's procedures after he met with a female soldier in January who said she was harassed by a fellow soldier who wasn't punished.
Fitzgerald said then he still has concerns following Dunbar's response.
Wisconsin National Guard spokesman Capt. Joe Trovato said in March the Guard "takes all allegations of sexual assault, harassment or misconduct seriously, and eliminating it from our ranks has long been one of our organization's top priorities."
Trovato said the Guard has a "robust program focused on protecting victims" and will provide the National Guard Bureau's Office of Complex Investigations with any information they request.

Backcountry skier dies in avalanche near Jones Pass in Clear Creek County
News News | Mar 8, 2019
Eli Pace
Summit Daily
A 48-year-old man was killed in a backcountry avalanche Thursday in Clear Creek County.
Colorado Avalanche Information Center
A 48-year-old skier was caught, buried and killed in an avalanche Thursday afternoon near Jones Pass, west of Berthoud Pass, in Clear Creek County. Authorities have identified the man as Hans Berg of Empire.
Berg was an employee of Powder Addiction, a company that offers guided backcountry skiing and boarding tours via snowcats in the area by the Jones and Berthoud passes.
Clear Creak Undersheriff Bruce Snelling said that Berg was working as a photographer on Thursday when he was dropped off below a group to get some photos and caught in a massive avalanche.
Employees and patrons helped rescue Berg from the snow. He was taken to a metro area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
The cause remains under investigation. Snelling said that Powder Addiction has a great track record in the county and, to his knowledge, has never had any issues or reported accidents in the past.
"This was truly just a tragic accident," Snelling said.
Berg's backcountry death came as numerous avalanches plagued the high country and covered many routes, including Interstate 70.Avalanche danger remains extremely high, and people are urged to stay out of the backcountry until the risk subsides.

The code is working fine BUT i am trying to replace IN THE LAST ROW the last , with ;.
Correct output:

Any idea.

Parents of kids at a school in Leicester have been left outraged after finding out that the headmaster took time off to go to the Brazil World Cup.
Mr McGovern, 55, apparently took two weeks off from Stafford Leys Primary School during term time due to 'personal reasons'.
The headmaster's request for leave was initially rejected by governors but Mr McGovern enlisted the help of his union to appeal and the decision was overturned.
Stafford Leys Primary School have refused to say why he took the time off, but Zoe Gibbs, mother of Harvey, six, and Oliver, eight, who go to the school told The Sun, 'It got out he's gone to Brazil for the World Cup.
The headmaster is due to return to school before the children break up for the summer holidays on July 11.
Parents can be punished £60 per child for taking them out of school outside of the school holidays, which jumps up to £120 if not paid within 28 days.
With that in mind, what do you think to the headmaster taking two weeks off for the World Cup? Let us know in a comment below.

On the Trail of Sumatra's Tigers
By James Louie - October 25, 2016
Sunlight filters through the cathedral-like forest canopy on a hike up the slopes of Mount Tujuh.
High in the mountains of western Sumatra, Kerinci Seblat National Park is one of the last remaining refuges of Indonesia's dwindling tiger population.
By Mark Eveleigh
"If you see a tiger, try to get one of its teeth," my taxi driver says brightly.
I am heading to the airport from my home in Bali, and I've just told him that I'm about to fly 2,400 kilometers to Indonesia's largest island to look for Sumatran tigers.
"Yes, the teeth are very important," he continues, talking over my waffled explanations of conservation priorities and ecological ethics. "If you get the teeth you can keep them as a charm, and nobody will ever be able to doubt that what you tell them is true."
I shudder at the thought of a tiger being killed for its body parts—and at the fact that this was apparently the first notion that popped into the cabbie's head when I mentioned the big cats. It's an inauspicious start to a trip that I'm hoping will finally produce a positive report about a critically endangered species.
Three airports and a winding 10-hour drive later, I'm sitting in a clapboard house high in the mountains of Sumatra's Jambi province while conservationist Debbie Martyr clues me in on the front-line battle against tiger poachers.
Overlooking Kerinci Valley and its namesake lake.
"Oh, for sure we have plenty of poachers around here," she says. "But that's a good sign. Wherever there are poachers there must be tigers, right?"
While her outlook on conservation strikes me as being delightfully optimistic, Indonesia's big cats have not fared well in the past eight decades. Thanks to the international trade in tiger parts and local attitudes like that of my taxi driver, the country has already lost two of its three tiger subspecies. The Bali tiger was wiped out in the 1940s and the Javan tiger followed shortly afterward. Only the Sumatran tiger has held out, particularly in the highland valleys and mist-shrouded hills of Kerinci Seblat National Park.
"There are more tigers here than in Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam together," Debbie tells me. "The reason for this is simple: if somebody poaches or trades tigers from this park they will get arrested, sooner or later."
In the early '90s, Debbie, a British journalist, ventured to the Sumatran rain forest to research a story about the island's mythical orang pendek, a sort of Indonesian Sasquatch. She spent weeks at a time trekking through jungle and camping in remote areas of the national park until she fell into what would become a lifelong love affair with Kerinci. Stirred by the plight of its threatened tigers, Debbie soon turned her attention to protecting these top predators.
"At that time, forestry departments all over the world seemed to be focused only on the structure of the forest—the trees themselves—rather than what's in the forest," she laments. "As one local official told me: 'I'd like to help with tigers and wildlife, but I'm in the forestry department. I can't do anything for animals or birds. I can only protect trees.' "
Meanwhile, tigers were being poached almost on a weekly basis. With the help of the British conservation group Fauna & Flora International, Debbie began to train "tiger teams" to help the national park service protect the last of the country's great predators. Like guerrilla reconnaissance groups, the patrol teams walk softly through the undergrowth, carrying little other than a large stick for protection.
"With tiger teams and the rangers working together we were able to patrol more effectively and with a heavier presence. We also had authority to fight the poachers in and out of the park. It worked so well that from 2006 up until 2010 we were one of only five national parks in the whole of Asia where tiger numbers actually increased."
The estimated tiger population in Kerinci Seblat at the latest count in 2011 was between 165 and 190 individuals, roughly a third of the number still roaming in Sumatra's jungles. In March this year Indonesia's forestry ministry reported that there were only 371 left on the island. The continued decline is due to rampant poaching and widespread deforestation fueled by the global market's insatiable appetite for palm oil and, in the Kerinci area, for coffee.
Poaching remains a threat, as this skull displayed by a park ranger attests.
While a recent surge in organized poaching has put increasing pressure on the local tiger population, Kerinci Seblat largely remains a safe haven for these elusive big cats. The park sprawls across an area almost 20 times the size of Singapore, and even more if you include buffer zones. That makes it Southeast Asia's second-largest national park, protecting a biodiversity hot spot capped by mist-shrouded jungle peaks and gouged by cascading rivers.
Shortly after dawn the next morning, I follow one of Debbie's patrolmen into the forest. Jayendri, like most of his tiger team colleagues, has been recognized by the national park service as an honorary ranger and, as he crouches over a set of fresh tracks, he exudes the sort of confidence that is crucial when you spend as much time as he does in big-cat country.
"I once watched three tigers for several hours right near here," Jayendri says. "We're not actually inside the park at the moment but this is a wildlife corridor and tigers—even, in the past, elephants—often use this route to cross between two neighboring sections of the park."
The sun is still low enough to throw a shadow onto the shallowest paw prints and, as we turn onto a dusty section of the track, a series of round indentations catches my eye. I know they're too small to be a tiger's, but they are clearly feline. After a brief examination, Jayendri confirms them to be the marks of an Asian golden cat, an ocelot-like animal whose coat can be anything from golden brown to black. We decide to follow the trail and within a few minutes I notice another series of indents. These are bigger. Much bigger. There's no doubt that they could only belong to a tiger, or what Jayendri respectfully calls "the Boss."
Though smaller than the prints of a Bengal tiger that I'd once seen in India, they are still big enough to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I feel a particular thrill at the sudden realization that we are in the heart of predator country, unarmed and basically defenseless.
"There have been occasional attacks in the Kerinci area," Jayendri says, as if reading my thoughts. "Even a couple of serial man-eaters many years ago. In general, though, attacks are usually a case of what we call salah alamat." Literally meaning "wrong address," these occur
when the tiger is not initially aware that its prey is human. Squatting in the track with my finger tracing the pugmark of a 100-kilogram super-predator with 10-centimeter fangs, I have the distinct impression that, for the moment at least, it is I who've come to the wrong address.
Three days later, I'm clambering through thick jungle on my way up to the crater lake near the peak of Mount Tujuh. My new guide, a soft-spoken jungle man aptly named Jhon Forest, tells me how he once came face-to-face with a tiger on this very trail.
"I came around the corner and my heart started hammering almost before I could even register what was in front of me," he says. "I was frozen to the spot and it seemed like full minutes that we stared into each other's eyes. Then he bounded over a bush and disappeared without a sound. I was still shaking about an hour later."
Kerinci Seblat is a vital stronghold for the Sumatran tiger.
Situated 1,950 meters above sea level, Danau Gunung Tujuh—the "Lake of the Seven Mountains"—feels romantically remote. At weekends, however, it is a popular camping spot for local kids, who often leave behind them a forest strewn with plastic litter.
At this latitude, less than 80 kilometers south of the equator, the sun sinks quickly. As it drops behind the rim of the ancient volcano, we are plunged into a brisk chill that sends me scurrying for firewood. The welcoming glow of our fire soon entices a lake fisherman named Bobbi to join us; he says he's the only person who lives permanently on the mountain. As he and Jhon sit chatting in the local Kerinci dialect, the bark of a deer high up the forested slope above us makes me wonder what else might be lurking in the jungle. A tiger? An elusive orang pendek, perhaps? Or maybe one of the other mythical creatures that Debbie had told me about: a tiny cannibal witch called sibigau, or the cruel bunian spirit, which you can hear but never see.
Bobbi tells me that he frequently hears tigers around his camp, but that he doesn't fear them. "They are my neighbors," he says as the flames lick the cool night air. "Besides, there are other, far stranger creatures to watch out for."

What are the pros and cons of the hot sauce paradigm to measure aggression?
The hot sauce paradigm is a way to measure aggressive behavior in the lab. Participants are asked to give a portion of hot sauce to another person (who they know hates hot sauce) and who will have to eat it all, ostensibly as part of a taste test.
What are the pros and cons of the hot sauce paradigm?
measurement methodology aggression
Christian Hummeluhr
The hot sauce paradigm was reviewed as part of a paper discussing laboratory measures of aggression. They argued that the hot sauce paradigm's main advantages are that it is very economical, easily quantifiable, less likely than other methods to be interpreted competitively, and that it has ecological validity (Ritter and Eslea, 2005).
Given the prevalence of its use, there appears to be a surprisingly limited amount of validation studies for the hot sauce paradigm. Adachi and Willoughby (2011) reported the following in a more tangential discussion of aggression measures.
Lieberman et al. [1999] found that scores on [the hot sauce] paradigm were positively related to both trait and physical aggression scores on the Buss and Perry (1992) Aggression Questionnaire, supporting the convergent validity of the Hot Sauce Paradigm, although to date no study has measured its association with aggressive behavior outside the lab.
Ayduk, Gyurak and Luerssen (2008) suggested that one threat to the hot sauce paradigm's validity comes from rejection sensitivity (RS): "a processing disposition to anxiously expect, readily perceive and overreact to rejection." They reported that failing to control for RS could influence the results in a hot-sauce paradigm, but that statistical control was sufficient to guard against it.
The Ritter and Eslea (2005) review also provides an extensive and general critique of the hot sauce paradigm and other classic aggression measures, but this is not readily summarized. The potential problems raised by the review relate to mediating variables, social cognition, affect, questions of overt/covert aggression, among others. Overall, the biggest weakness of the method appears to be the apparent inability to conclusively rule out the influence of mediators and moderators.

Article 9.3.5 (Discharge of the assignor)
(1) The other party may discharge the assignor.
(2) The other party may also retain the assignor as an obligor in case the assignee does not perform properly.
(3) Otherwise the assignor and the assignee are jointly and severally liable.
1. Extent of assignor's discharge
This Article, concerning the assignment of contracts, corresponds to Article 9.2.5. To the extent that the assignment of a contract causes obligations to be transferred from the assignor to the assignee, the other party, as an obligee, may decide the effect that the acceptance of the assignee as a new obligor will have on the assignor's obligations. This Article gives the other party several choices and provides for a default rule.
2. Other party's choice: full discharge
The other party may first of all fully discharge the assignor.
1. By contract with company X, company A has undertaken to dispose of the waste produced by an industrial process. At a certain point, X accepts that the contract is assigned by A to company B. Fully confident that B is solvent and reliable, X discharges A. Should B fail to perform properly, X will have no recourse against A.
3. Other party's choice: assignor retained as a subsidiary obligor
Another possibility is for the other party to accept the assignment of the contract on condition that it retain a claim against the assignor.
There are two options.
The first option is that the assignor is retained as an obligor in the event that the assignee does not perform properly. In this case the other party must necessarily claim performance first from the assignee, but if the assignee does not perform properly, the other party may call upon the assignor.
2. The facts are the same as in Illustration 1, except that X, when consenting to the assignment, has stipulated that A will remain bound if B does not perform properly. X no longer has a direct claim against A, and must first request performance from B. However, should B fail to perform, then X would have a claim against A.
4. Other party's choice: assignor retained as jointly and severally liable with the assignee
The second option, the one most favourable to the other party, is to consider the assignor and the assignee jointly and severally liable. This means that when performance is due, the other party can exercise its claim against either the assignor or the assignee (see Articles 11.1.3 et seq.). Should the other party obtain performance from the assignor, the latter would then have a claim against the assignee (see Articles 11.1.10 et seq.).
3. Company X accepts that company A assign the contract to company B, but stipulates that A and B will remain jointly and severally liable. In this case X may require performance from either A or B. Should B perform properly, both A and B would be fully discharged. Should A have to render performance to X, it would then have a right of recourse against B.
5. Default rule
The language of this Article makes it clear that the last-mentioned option is the default rule. In other words, if the other party has neither indicated that it intends to discharge the assignor, nor indicated that it intends to keep the assignor as a subsidiary obligor, the assignor and the assignee are jointly and severally liable.
4. Company X accepts that company A assign the contract to company B, but says nothing about the liability of A. Also in this case X may request performance from either A or B. Should B perform properly, both A and B would be fully discharged. Should A have to render performance to X, it would then have a right of recourse against B.
6. Differentiated options possible
A party to a contract is often subject to a whole set of obligations. When the contract is assigned, the other party may choose to exercise different options with regard to the different obligations. The other party may for instance accept to discharge the assignor for a certain obligation, but to retain it either as a subsidiary obligor or to consider it jointly and severally liable with the assignee with respect to other obligations.
5. Company A has entered into a know-how licence contract with company X. In return for the transferred technology, A has undertaken to pay royalties and to co-operate with X in the development of a new product. When X later on accepts that A assign the contract to company B, X discharges A from the obligation to participate in the joint research, for which it will deal with the assignee only, but retains A as a subsidiary or a jointly and severally liable with B for the payment of royalties.

Student and staff for the new 'Ewa Makai Middle School will be temporarily housed at 'Ilima Intermediate for the first half of next school year until the new campus is completed.
When students begin attending 'Ewa Makai Middle School in January, they will study in the air-conditioned comfort of the Hawai'i public school system's first completely certified "green" campus and with such high-tech tools as iPad tablet computers.
"We're going to be opening with state-of-the-art technology," said principal Edward Oshiro.
"If we want to meet the demands of the 21st century learners, one of the best ways is to give them technology that is on the cutting edge," he said.
Construction of 'Ewa Makai Middle will likely be completed in September as expected, but its staff and students will be temporarily housed at 'Ilima Intermediate until the end of December, education officials said.
The $61 million campus west of Fort Weaver Road in 'Ewa is expected to relieve years of severe overcrowding at 'Ilima Intermediate once all students have been moved to the new campus by the beginning of the second semester of next year.
Ground was broken on the project last July.
Preparation to open the new school is under way, with Oshiro having already hired some 30 teachers, including about a dozen who will be transferring from 'Ilima. Oshiro is also working with some of the newly hired teachers on curriculum planning, purchasing of equipment and supplies and planning the school's vision and philosophy.
Oshiro said the school has about $2 million set aside for startup expenses, including textbooks, classroom supplies and technology.
Each classroom will feature electronic SmartBoards — interactive white boards.
The school has a goal of a one-to-one student-to-computer ratio, but that's down the road, Oshiro said.
For now, the school is likely to invest in iPads, Apple's hybrid between its iPhone and its laptop computers, which retail for about $499. But Oshiro said the school hopes to create a partnership with Apple or some other technology company to get computers or other hardware at discount prices.
'Ewa Makai will have full computer labs with iPads and moble iPad labs that will rotate through the classrooms.
Sandy Goya, spokeswoman for the state Department of Education, said high technology in the classroom is not unusual. Some schools have been working toward one-to-one computer ratios, making use of laptop computer labs that rotate through classrooms and SmartBoards.
She said school principals and school community councils have the authority to make their own decisions on how to spend their money. Many schools have been working toward high-technology environments, she said.
"Many schools have smartboards. IPads are relatively new. But the end goal for all schools is to make sure the schools and teachers have the tools to help their students become technology savvy," Goya said.
'Ewa Makai's campus will be physically unique compared with other public schools in the state. It is the first school in Hawai'i being built as one enclosed building, as opposed to traditional school campuses in the state made up of several buildings linked by open-air walkways.
Part of the reason for the new design is to meet "green" building requirements, or to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certified, as is now required for all new state facilities.
It will be the first entire school campus to be so designated.
As a LEED Silver Project, the school is fitted with air conditioning and natural day lighting design for energy conservation. Contractors are also using recycled "green" materials in construction. A special storm water runoff collection system will be installed, as will occupancy sensors in rooms to control lighting and plumbing fixtures.
Currently 'Ilima Intermediate is the only junior high school serving the entire 'Ewa area, and its enrollment is far beyond capacity with about 1,350 students. At the end of the 2009 school year, the school was 14 classrooms short to accommodate its student population, according to DOE data.
Officials say the overcrowding at 'Ilima Intermediate has been so severe that school administrators had asked Kapolei Middle School to accept some of its students until 'Ewa Makai is complete.
Of the seven elementary schools in 'Ewa, three will be considered feeder schools to the new 'Ewa Makai campus — Keoneula Elementary, 'Ewa Elementary and 'Ewa Beach Elementary. In other words, residents living west of Fort Weaver Road will send their students to the new school, while those living east of Fort Weaver will continue to send their children to 'Ilima Intermediate.
"That decision was made because the west side of Fort Weaver is still growing in terms of home construction," Oshiro said. The boundary "provides room for growth for the new school instead of opening up overcrowded," he said.
Until the school benefits from the growth of residential homes in the area, 'Ewa Makai will consider applications for "geographic exceptions" from families that do not live in the district but are interested in sending their child to the school.
The new campus will be able to accommodate about 700 students. Education officials had asked lawmakers for an additional $16.4 million to complete a third wing of the school building, which would have boosted the school's capacity, said Nick Nichols, DOE facilities planner. That money was not appropriated this session.

There was a time when casinos meant only brick and mortar real casinos which people used to visit and indulge in gambling on different games. However, with time and technology trend has changed and now people believe in making the most of their time. Internet and Smartphone's have made online gambling on your favourite casino easier. Online bingo and casino sites are no longer new to anyone these days as we all love to play online games and even gamble. Now all one needs is to get online and register on any casino website and start gambling. However, it is not an easy task as there are multiple casino websites each claiming to be the best and offering attractive bonuses and deals. One needs to be careful and do a bit of research prior to opening an account with any online casino. Here are few basic things that one needs to keep in mind before making a registration and opening account with the online casino.
Research about casino before registering a real play account at any online casino. This covers casinos ownership, licensing, history and reputation and ranking in the online casino market. In addition to this one may also go through existing casino player's comments however one cannot always judge a casino on the basis of other players comment but it offers a fair idea about the existing online casino.
The payout is one of the most important aspects which need to be understood well prior to opening an account and depositing your hard earned money. The payout percentage is the amount of bet money which an online casino returns to the player as winnings. If a casino has a high payout percentage one may consider making a registration with that online casino. Many well known and premier online casinos clearly mention their payout percentages on their websites however there are many who are silent about it are the ones to be avoided.
Payment method is another important point which needs to consider before signing up with any online casino. Any famous and well-known casino will have multiple payment deposits and withdrawal options to let the customers enjoy the convenience of using the way they wish to. Therefore ensure that the online casino which you are signing up with provides complete details of payment options to avoid a future conflict.
Find out which software is the online casino using as software's reveal a lot of about a company and how serious they are about their business and customers. A casino which uses tried and tested software's for its online casino business is spending a good amount of money on it and thus cares about its customer's data privacy and confidentiality.
Lastly but not the least reliable and 24/7 customer service support is a must as the majority of people gamble round the clock. Thus customer service should be accessible at every hour of the day and night.
Once you are satisfied with your research you may go ahead and register with PayPal Casino which fits your bill and start gambling with complete peace of mind.

Senators Stabenow, Mikulski and Congresswoman Lee Introduce Bill to Improve Seniors' Access to Mental Health Services
U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) and Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) today introduced a bill to help seniors who are struggling with mental illness. The Improving Access to Mental Health Act of 2015 will improve seniors' access to behavioral health services by updating the way the Medicare program reimburses clinical social workers. Senator Stabenow, Senator Mikulski and Congresswoman Lee are long-time champions of enhancing patient access to quality mental health services.
"Mental illness is an issue that touches every family in some way, and seniors are no exception," said Senator Stabenow. "Seniors should be able to get the best quality care from the provider of their choice, and this bill makes sure that clinical social workers are among those providers."
"Our nation's seniors and patients suffering from mental illness deserve to have access to the all the support and services they need at the provider of their choice," Senator Mikulski said. "As a former social worker, I know that wherever there is a compelling human need, there will always be a social worker standing sentry on the front lines, ready to help. This legislation will expand access to mental health services provided by clinical social workers so that those suffering from mental illness can get the critical care they need, when they need it, from the providers of their choice."
"As a psychiatric social worker, I know the importance of providing all people with high-quality mental health services and care. Clinical social workers are the largest source of mental health providers in the nation, with more than 200,000 currently practicing," said Congresswoman Barbara Lee. "However, due to outdated policies, social workers are not adequately reimbursed for the vital services they provide. This bill will ensure that Medicare beneficiaries have access to the essential mental health services provided by clinical social workers on a daily basis. I'm proud to join fellow social workers Senators Debbie Stabenow and Barbara Mikulski in introducing this critical bill and working to expand mental health services for all."
"In any given year, nearly one out of five people in our nation experiences a mental health condition. NASW commends Sens. Debbie Stabenow, Barbara Mikulski and Congresswoman Lee for introducing this legislation, which recognizes the important role access to quality mental health care plays in our nation's mental health," said Angelo McClain, CEO, National Association of Social Workers. "We are pleased that Sen. Stabenow and her colleagues appreciate the critical role clinical social workers play in providing mental health care and makes the life-affirming services that social workers provide more available to Americans."
The Improving Access to Mental Health Act of 2015 would align Medicare payments for clinical social workers with that of other non-physician health care providers like nurse practitioners and physician assistants. This new payment structure, as well as a change to the reimbursements for clinical social workers at skilled nursing facilities, will encourage trained and licensed professionals to care for more seniors in their communities. The legislation would also ensure that seniors have access to the full range of behavioral assessment and intervention services that clinical social workers can provide no matter where they live.

The Texas A&M Aggies football team first took the field in 1894. Texas A&M has been affiliated with several conferences during their rich history. These include the Southwest Conference from 1915-1995, the Big XII Conference from 1996 until 2011 and presently compete in the western division of the Southeastern Conference. Texas A&M football has won 18 conference titles and 3 National Championship titles in 1919, 1927 and in 1939. Two Aggies have won the prestigious Heisman; halfback John David Crow in 1957 and quarterback Johnny Manziel in 2012. Texas A&M football has had many successful coaches throughout their history. A few to mention are Paul "Bear" Bryant, who coached from 1954 to 1957 before leaving for Alabama, along with both Homer H. Norton (1934-1947) and R. C. Slocum (1989-2002) who remained as the head football coaches for 14 years each. Today, the program is run by Kevin Sumlin who has two years under his belt with the Aggies. Coach Sumlin has the Aggies on track to continue their ascent to the top of the Southeastern Conference. Traditions in College Station is not only cherished but it is embraced; from the 12th Man to Midnight Yell Practice and the Bon Fire, Texas A&M is a special place.
The 2015 season looked very similar to 2014 for the Texas A&M Aggies. They again finished with a 8-5 record and went on to the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl losing 27-21 to the Louisville Cardinals. This marked the fifth straight bowl game appearance for the Aggies. The Aggies started the season on an impressive five game winning streak, but the bubble quickly burst when they suffered two defeats in a row. First, the Alabama Crimson Tide dominated the Aggies by a score of 41-23, followed up by another humiliating loss of 23-3 to the Ole Miss Rebels. A start eerily similar to that of the 2014 season. They managed to pull off three more wins against the South Carolina Gamecocks, Western Carolina Catamounts, and Vanderbilt Commodores, but lost to Auburn and LSU to close the regular season with a 4-4 record in the SEC, not allowing them to rank in the AP. Texas A&M took another blow when both 2015 starting quarterbacks announced their departures at the end of the season, leaving them with only sophomore Jake Hubenak for the position. On National Signing Day, the Aggies ranked 8th in the SEC by 247sports.com, securing 22 commits with 8 ESPN 300. Hopefully, the Aggies can manage a productive offensive to remain competitive in 2016.
Texas A&M Aggies will hold their spring game on April 9th. They haven't been able to host the spring game since 2013 due to the renovations at Kyle Field the past couple of years. Looking ahead to the fall, they will face a tough schedule. The Aggies will start their football season on September 3rd in College Station, TX at Kyle Field against the UCLA Bruins, followed by the Prairie View A&M Panthers the following Saturday. After that, Texas A&M will play three road games, facing SEC West opponents the Auburn Tigers and Arkansas Razorbacks and SEC East opponent the South Carolina Gamecocks. Texas A&M will also host the Tennessee Volunteers, New Mexico State Aggies, Ole Miss Rebels, UTSA Roadrunners, and LSU Tigers at Kyle Field in College Station, TX. The remainder of the season, they will travel to meet defending National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide and Mississippi State Bulldogs.
Don't miss the excitement of another promising year for the Texas A&M Aggies football team. Get your Texas A&M Aggies football tickets today from SecSeats and Gig'em Aggies!
Kyle Field has been around since 1927 and has gone through several renovations including a multi-year project recently. The stadium seated 32,000 in the beginning and now holds close to 103,000 fans. The stadium recently went through two phases of reconstruction over a two-year span. The first phase was completed in the fall of 2014 which involved constructing a south endzone, and demolishing and reconstructing the first deck of the east side. After the end of 2014 season, the west side was reconstructed and finalized for the beginning of the 2015 football season.
Following the Texas A&M departure from the Big XII to the Southeastern Conference, games between the Texas A&M Aggies verse Texas Longhorns appear to have little chance of being rekindled despite the strong dislike for one another. Fortunately, Texas A&M Aggies has been able to revive some old rivals in the Southeastern Conference and build new ones. Clearly, the Aggies are a great fit in the Southeastern Conference's Western Division.
The Texas A&M Aggies and the LSU Tigers have met off and on since 1899. There are the 7th oldest football rivals in the nation. The first three years (1899, 1907 and 1908), the Aggies outscored LSU 85-17. Over the years, it has been a back and forth battle in which Texas A&M's longest winning streak against LSU is five games dating from 1991-1995. Unfortunately, LSU has managed to beat the Aggies the past five seasons, including a win in the 2011 Cotton Bowl and beating the Aggies in College Station (2012 and 2014) and Baton Rouge (2013 and 2015). Their overall record has LSU leading the 54-game series 31-20-3.
Texas A&M and Arkansas' first game was played in 1903 when the Aggies beat the Razorbacks 6-0. The series has been back and forth with Arkansas leading with a 41-28-3 record. The match-up was discontinued after 1991's season when Arkansas left the Southwestern Conference for the Southeastern Conference. In 2009, they began a "Southwest Classic" battle, annually playing in Dallas' Cowboys Stadium. Now, that the Texas A&M Aggies switched to the SEC western division in July 2012, they have won both conference games in College Station and in Fayetteville. Following two years on playing on campus, these two rivals will return to battle in AT&T Stadium (formally Cowboys Stadium) in Arlington,TX.
