Bicycle trails are a great way to put the fun back in bike riding. A lot of people would like to ride but are concerned with the potential risks of riding in traffic. Bike trails can, definitely, be the answer. They are great for everyone but they are especially attractive to boomers and seniors.
The good news is that trails are, rapidly, being built throughout the country. We are becoming much more "bicycle friendly" every year as people become more active and are looking for ways to save money, lose weight, get fit, and have fun while they are at it.
Some of the bicycle trails are completely paved, or at least partially paved, and that is usually spelled out in the guide or map. You definitely need to know that if you are riding a road bike.
Riding with your wife or hubby can be a fun thing that you both can enjoy together. You see a lot of couples along the way. I couldn't begin to count the weekend rides that I have taken with lady friends or my riding buddies. I am a big fan of bicycle trails and not a big fan of traffic, so I welcome the new trails enthusiastically. I have spent countless hours and ridden thousands of miles on them and enjoyed it immensely.
One of the best sources of info on bicycle trails is Traillink.com.They have a huge amount of, very specific, information on trails throughout the USA that can be a big help in deciding where to ride.
Traillink even gives you info on things like locations of rest rooms, suggested shops or historic sights along the way, access points, parking availability etc. They also have photos on their web site of scenic stops along the way and download-able maps.
Multi-use trails are popping up everywhere and, on these, you may see hikers, joggers, roller-bladers and on some you will even see horses, which can be kind of cool. These are best for families but can be crowded on weekends. See Rails To Trails.org.
Many trails are built on or beside old railroad beds so they are flat as a tabletop. Often they run alongside a river, or canal, which also makes them very scenic. The only potential downside can be the wind. There are now over 20,000 miles of trails through the USA. The trails vary in length from a mile or two to 100 miles plus and have any number of access points along the way. So, you can plan a ride that will be challenging enough without overdoing it.
At each access there are usually a few basic rules of the road posted like , please ride to the right in single file etc just common sense stuff but nothing really restrictive. Some have trail maps with the "you are here" indicated. You may even see locations of rest rooms on the maps.
Unless it is clearly spelled out on the map, it's a good idea to visit some of the access points along the bicycle trails by car and make sure there is adequate parking there. These are generally at points where the trail crosses a road.
You may even want to take a few minutes to check out the traffic on the trail and talk to a few of the riders. They usually don't mind a bit giving you some input on the trail. Also they can alert you to potential problems like fallen trees or flooding.
A lot of metropolitan areas are turning to bike trails to accommodate bicycle commuters and cut back on traffic which is more good news.


Bleep × is a new event and music retail space in the heart of Daslton. The project is the physical embodiment of what Bleep has been creating online for the last 14 years.
The studio was asked to brand the new project by the iconic music label and consider how a brand that previously has been online only can live in a physical space. The identity had to consider the current minimal style of Bleep whilst introducing the new concept of the X.
With a bold, heavy and brutalist marque created, the identity was visualised into a system that felt balanced and playful. The marque is made of two equal shapes allowing for it to embody various lock ups to create diversity within the brand.

when is this going to get fixed???
I thought we'd covered this before in your last thread..? You can't do anything, other than use servers in another datacentre, which won't actually help as they're in the US anyway..
Call your ISP, and wait it out.
Your ISP is lying. Or, at least, the individual you're talking to doesn't know what they're talking about.
The problem is down to routing in the network - that's not on your end, or Jagex's end. It's your ISP, or their Tier1 ISP (with whom they should be engaging on the issue).
There are some threads around Reddit on this, and the common factor is that you're all using Belgacom (or Proximus as I see it's called now).
Having the same issue, also its with belgacom proximus. Called 3 times already got a new modem. Nuthing is working. having like 300 ping in all worlds. I cant do a thing of pvm in game.
also moneybucks can you post the link to the reddit page cause i cant seem to find it.
When I examined the traceroute that jonastie75 posted in their previous thread, I saw that the traffic is being routed via America, even where the server is in the UK, and that's where the high ping is coming from.
Interestingly, the traffic that then does reach the UK server doesn't have a significantly higher ping than the traffic by the time it gets to the US.. suggesting it returns through a faster route..
As for why that's being routed via US, no idea.. but it's happening in the network core rather than on the edge, so my suspicion would be that it's due to the ISP or their higher tier ISP. It's not something that one can straightforwardly address as a player at any rate, other than trying to use an alternative network.
This is not a problem isolated to Australia or Belgium. It is happening in the US, Jagex biggest customer.
It is not a problem with routing by our ISP's. Blaming our computers and our ISP's is a tried and true, Jagex dodge. Just plain old BULL.
It happened immediately after the last update, a week ago and has not changed.
Many of us choose the world to play by checking the ping.
Rather than necrobumping two threads about what is almost certainly a different issue to the one you're whinging about, why don't you make your own thread and provide some detail. Or post in rants, if you just want to complain.
As of 3/11/19, after the update, the ping function STOPPED WORKING altogether. Immediately after jagex made changes to the game.
I can play the game - however it is much harder to choose which worlds will be to my benefit.
It has nothing to do with my ISP or routing - it is something jagex did at that time.

ISO/IEC 27001:2013 is an information security standard that was published in September 2013. Unlike many other regulatory frameworks, it is a voluntary standard. As ISO is an international body, any organization in the world can adopt 27001. Those that choose to implement it can be formally audited to prove compliance to the standard.
ISO 27001 defines an Information Security Management System (ISMS) and how to design, deploy, and maintain such a system. It has over 100 controls over 14 security control sections. ISO 27001:2013 is an update of the original 2005 release that aligns better with management standards such as ISO 9000 and ISO/IEC 20000.
Cygna Auditor's built-in and custom alerting notifies you of unusual activity on secured systems such as scripted permission changes, or mass file updates typical of ransomware.
Cygna Auditor monitors all successful and failed data activity such as file or folder creation, access, updates, deletions, who made the changes and when they were made.
Keep access to secured systems data to a minimum with Cygna Auditor's group reports that show membership of system users and administrators.
Keeping group membership current is only a partial solution; you must ensure that permissions on secured systems stay correct. Cygna Auditor's permissions reports enable you to be sure the system's configuration remains what it needs to be.
Most of the controls specified in ISO 27001 and applicable to Cygna Auditor are similar or identical to the controls specified in NIST Special Publication 800-53, the security control framework for the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) and a superset of the ISO 27001 controls. Appendix H of NIST 800-53 provides a mapping of ISO 27001 to NIST 800-53 controls; what follows is a sampling of controls that Cygna Auditor satisfies.


I have a request for a new control. But honestly I think my request could be easiily handled by the treeview control.
What I need is a list that I can drag and drop to change order of items with. The list box control with a "MaxLevels" parameter would work great.
If I could limit the treeview to not allow for nesting it would be exactly what i need.
This will allow users to move the items, and will not allow the insert into items.
Seeing the "Drop In" adorner and then not being able to execute a drop in would be very aggravating.
Does this code suppress the drop only, or will this also suppress the drag indication text "Drop In". If it suppresses the text from showing up, perfect. If not, can the "DropInText" be set to a null or empty string?
If you are able to wait for a week, you will be able to have the Drop in text skipped also. We will be converting the drag/drop mechanism of the TreeView to our new drag/drop framework and you will have much more control over this. We will release the new TreeView at the end of next week. Is this OK for you?

US Covid Booster Shot Policy Is in Flux as Studies Add to Dissent
WASHINGTON — Almost a month ago, President Biden announced a plan to make coronavirus booster shots available to most adults in the United States eight months after they received their second dose. But a week before the plan is to roll out, its contours are up in the air amid a chorus of dissent inside and outside the government.
The White House has already been forced to delay offering boosters to recipients of the Moderna vaccine, and for now it is planning third shots only for those who received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Depending on what two public health agencies decide in the coming days, the administration may have to change course again, perhaps restricting extra shots to older Americans and others who are particularly vulnerable to serious illness.
A series of dueling reviews this week illustrated the fierce argument among scientists about whether boosters are needed, and if so, for whom. A study released on Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine appears to bolster the case made by the White House and its senior health advisers, stating that those who received a third shot of the Pfizer vaccine in Israel were far less likely to develop severe Covid than those who received two injections.
But a review by regulators at the Food and Drug Administration, also made public on Wednesday, looked at broader evidence on third doses of the Pfizer vaccine and raised caveats.
And in The Lancet this week, an article written by two of the Food and Drug Administration's top vaccine scientists, among others, argued that there was no credible evidence that the vaccines' potency against severe disease declined substantially over time. The two scientists had announced that they would leave the agency this fall, but their public opposition to the administration's plan caught the F.D.A.'s top leaders by surprise and forced the White House on the defensive.
Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, stressed on Wednesday that the administration's most senior health officials — including Dr. Janet Woodcock, the acting commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, and Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — had signed a statement announcing Mr. Biden's booster plan. "Nothing has changed as it relates to the eight top doctors who put out that statement, almost a month ago," Ms. Psaki said.
What comes next partly depends on crucial meetings of expert advisory committees to both the F.D.A., which is responsible for authorizing vaccines, and the C.D.C., which typically has the final word on vaccination policies.
The F.D.A. committee will meet on Friday to discuss and vote on Pfizer-BioNTech's application to offer third shots to people 16 and older. The C.D.C. panel is expected to meet next week. Agency officials are not required to follow the recommendations of their outside expert panels, but they generally do so.
Depending on the experts' reaction to the data review that F.D.A. regulators posted on Wednesday, the agency could decide to scale back an authorization. Even if it approves the application as it currently stands, however, the C.D.C. might recommend boosters only for those 65 and older or others who are particularly at risk, according to people familiar with the discussions.
The plan to start offering extra shots next week was announced when the White House was under growing pressure to move on boosters. Because of the highly contagious Delta variant, hospitalizations and deaths were soaring, albeit largely among the unvaccinated. Breakthrough infections were becoming more common. France, Germany and Israel were moving faster than the United States to offer boosters. And several governors were publicly calling on Mr. Biden to follow suit.
Understand the Infrastructure Bill
One trillion dollar package passed. The Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan infrastructure package on Aug. 10, capping weeks of intense negotiations and debate over the largest federal investment in the nation's aging public works system in more than a decade.
The final vote. The final tally in the Senate was 69 in favor to 30 against. The legislation, which still must pass the House, would touch nearly every facet of the American economy and fortify the nation's response to the warming of the planet.
Main areas of spending. Overall, the bipartisan plan focuses spending on transportation, utilities and pollution cleanup.
Transportation. About $110 billion would go to roads, bridges and other transportation projects; $25 billion for airports; and $66 billion for railways, giving Amtrak the most funding it has received since it was founded in 1971.
Utilities. Senators have also included $65 billion meant to connect hard-to-reach rural communities to high-speed internet and help sign up low-income city dwellers who cannot afford it, and $8 billion for Western water infrastructure.
Pollution cleanup: Roughly $21 billion would go to cleaning up abandoned wells and mines, and Superfund sites.
Administration officials have started making the case that offering boosters only to older people would not be a huge change from the president's original plan. Because older adults were vaccinated first, they make up a disproportionate number of those who were vaccinated at least eight months ago.
Several officials suggested that the difference from Mr. Biden's original announcement would be minimal as long as some people are offered boosters next week — even if it is only older people who received the Pfizer vaccine.
John P. Moore, a virologist at Weill Cornell Medicine, said that the White House was under political pressure after declaring that boosters were necessary and that they would be available next week pending regulatory approval.
"Weeks ago, the administration decided that the public needs cake and deserves cake, and so shall have cake," he said. "Now, the public expects cake and would be very annoyed if its cake was taken away at this point."
The backpedaling is a result of what some describe as a double mistake by the White House: First, officials pinpointed a specific week when additional shots would be rolled out. Second, they announced a broad plan covering the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines before regulators had time to review or even gather all the necessary data.
"We just got things turned around," said Dr. Jesse L. Goodman, a former chief scientist at the Food and Drug Administration. "The administration and the leaders of the scientific agencies who signed on got out in front of any public discussion, airing of the data or vetting of it. That put the F.D.A. and the C.D.C. and their advisory committees in a corner."
Dr. Woodcock, the acting F.D.A. commissioner, privately warned that it was risky to announce a timetable, especially for multiple vaccines, according to people familiar with the discussions. The F.D.A. and the C.D.C. meetings in the coming days and Pfizer's application for approval of its booster dose appear to be conforming to the timetable the administration proposed in August.
Like other senior health officials, Dr. Woodcock had hoped that booster shots could be offered this month not only for Pfizer and Moderna recipients, but for recipients of Johnson & Johnson's one-dose vaccine as well, according to people familiar with the deliberations. But the administration had to limit its plan to Pfizer recipients, officials said, because neither Moderna nor Johnson & Johnson delivered the expected data in time.
While Mr. Biden publicly noted that his strategy depended on regulatory action, he also made the plan sound all but definite. "It's simple," he said at the time. "Eight months after your second shot, get your booster shot."
In interviews, senior administration officials defended the decision to specify a date for the rollout, saying that precious time would have been lost if pharmacies, providers and state officials were not prepared.
The data from Israel, which offered boosters first, was particularly concerning to U.S. health officials.
Understand Vaccine and Mask Mandates in the U.S.
Vaccine rules. On Aug. 23, the Food and Drug Administration granted full approval to Pfizer-BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine for people 16 and up, paving the way for an increase in mandates in both the public and private sectors. Private companies have been increasingly mandating vaccines for employees. Such mandates are legally allowed and have been upheld in court challenges.
Mask rules. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in July recommended that all Americans, regardless of vaccination status, wear masks in indoor public places within areas experiencing outbreaks, a reversal of the guidance it offered in May. See where the C.D.C. guidance would apply, and where states have instituted their own mask policies. The battle over masks has become contentious in some states, with some local leaders defying state bans.
College and universities. More than 400 colleges and universities are requiring students to be vaccinated against Covid-19. Almost all are in states that voted for President Biden.
Schools. Both California and New York City have introduced vaccine mandates for education staff. A survey released in August found that many American parents of school-age children are opposed to mandated vaccines for students, but were more supportive of mask mandates for students, teachers and staff members who do not have their shots.
Hospitals and medical centers. Many hospitals and major health systems are requiring employees to get a Covid-19 vaccine, citing rising caseloads fueled by the Delta variant and stubbornly low vaccination rates in their communities, even within their work force.
New York City. Proof of vaccination is required of workers and customers for indoor dining, gyms, performances and other indoor situations, although enforcement does not begin until Sept. 13. Teachers and other education workers in the city's vast school system will need to have at least one vaccine dose by Sept. 27, without the option of weekly testing. City hospital workers must also get a vaccine or be subjected to weekly testing. Similar rules are in place for New York State employees.
At the federal level. The Pentagon announced that it would seek to make coronavirus vaccinations mandatory for the country's 1.3 million active-duty troops "no later" than the middle of September. President Biden announced that all civilian federal employees would have to be vaccinated against the coronavirus or submit to regular testing, social distancing, mask requirements and restrictions on most travel.
In the New England Journal of Medicine article on Wednesday, researchers said they analyzed health records of more than 1.1 million people in Israel who had received both doses of the Pfizer vaccine at least five months earlier. They found that the rate of severe disease among people over 60 who had received a third shot at least 12 days earlier was nearly twentyfold lower than among those who had received two injections.
The Food and Drug Administration has invited Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, Israel's head of public health services and a co-author of the study, to describe her country's experience with boosters to the advisory committee on Friday. In an interview, Dr. Alroy-Preis said Israel had vaccinated more of its population faster than other countries and therefore saw the effect of waning immunity much earlier.
If the United States does not start offering booster shots, she said, more fully vaccinated people will contract severe Covid-19, as they did in Israel. "I am sure of that," she said.
Before Israel's government began offering third shots in August, Dr. Alroy-Preis said, people who were fully immunized with the Pfizer vaccine made up at least half of severely or critically ill Covid patients. The number of those patients is now less than half what officials had previously projected, she said, and the spread of the virus has slowed.
"We are beginning to control the fourth wave," Dr. Alroy-Preis said, "mainly by vaccinating people with third doses."
Yet vaccine experts said on Wednesday that what the Israeli data show — that a booster can enhance protection for a few weeks in older adults — is unsurprising and does not necessarily indicate long-term benefit. There are differences between Israel and the United States that could lead to different outcomes, scientists have warned.
The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday cautioned its advisory committee not to put too much weight on the experiences of other countries.
"While observational studies can enable understanding of real-world effectiveness, there are known and unknown biases that can affect their reliability," regulators wrote in a briefing paper. Studies conducted in the United States "may most accurately represent vaccine effectiveness in the U.S. population," they added.
The Food and Drug Administration's analysis also noted that Pfizer had gathered data on immune responses against the Delta variant in only two dozen people. The company said in a separate filing that one month after a third injection, levels of neutralizing antibodies against the Delta variant were about five to seven times as high as they were a month after the second dose.
Whatever the Food and Drug Administration decides, it should clearly and publicly explain its reasoning, said Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, a vice dean at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a former principal deputy commissioner of the agency.
"F.D.A. does the best in situations when there are strongly held but conflicting views, when they're forthcoming with the data and really explain decisions," he said. "It's important for the F.D.A. not to say, 'Here's our decision, mic drop.'"
He added, "It's much better for them to say, 'Here's how we looked at the data, here are the conclusions we made from the data, and here's why we're making the conclusions.'"

Day 2 of KQ1 was a true reflection of the nature of any given adventure game - We had to start over. The fun factor remained despite this, and we found ourselves establishing that "adventure gaming rhythm" that you want to have during gameplay.
Killing the goat in a previous game came back to bite us as we got frustrated with the goat (or laughed a bit too long) and left the pen's gate open. In addition to that, we solved several puzzles in what we figured was the wrong fashion. While we shrugged off some of the puzzles, the missing goat was a problem. We had to accept the cold, hard fact, that we were going to have to start over thanks to letting the goat out of the pen.
That is one thing you had to accept about these games - starting over.
We started over and were more efficient. We realized how lucky it was to have the fairy godmother's spell as we entered the gingerbread house with the spell in an active state.
We also found a new item that we realized would have allowed us to do a better job on a puzzle we solved prior to our restart.
After our restart, we caught up to where we had been, solved puzzles in a more lucrative fashion (we got a lot more points for it), and got further than we had been. However, we made a discovery that we couldn't figure out - the giant.
The time it takes to figure out a puzzle in an adventure game can be exponentially longer than it takes to execute the solution. After logging hours upon hours of gameplay, the idea of starting a game over seems a bit daunting. What one has to realize is that already knowing the solutions to puzzles makes it quite easier to catch up to where you left off.
I like the idea of having multiple ways to solve a puzzle. In fact, I wish that Sierra games had a great deal of alternate ways to solve something. The only problem with creating a game with multiple solutions for many puzzles is the problem of debugging the various paths to take. That, and you will probably end up with a pretty LARGE inventory of items at the end.

August 29, 2019 – Notarizing a document can be one of the most mundane tasks in the legal vocabulary. In the Philippines, the common impression is notarization involves dry-sealing and signing of a legal document by the notary, accompanied by payment of a prescribed fee. No more, no less. Sadly, the public impression is far from legal reality.
From a litigation perspective, a document otherwise private becomes a public document once it is duly notarized. Accordingly, the document is admissible in court without the need to "authenticate" it in the manner normally prescribed for private documents.
Notarization is also significant outside of litigation. Most notarial acts require the personal appearance of the individuals whose signatures appear on the document so that (at least in theory) the notary can determine the genuineness of the transaction covered by the document and the voluntariness of the act of its purported signatories. In this sense, notaries act as gatekeepers of authentic and trustworthy documents which in turn prevents or at least reduces chances of fraud from occurring. Less chances of fraud means more confidence in carrying out economic transactions. While notarial practice seems publicly unappealing, these legal realities and the public interest that the functions of a notary generate justify the state regulation of this particular activity.
In the Philippines, generally only lawyers duly commissioned as notaries public may perform notarial acts. In their capacity as officers of the court, lawyers have a responsibility to assist in the proper administration of justice since they are in fact part of the machinery in the administration of justice. Because of this, lawyers are considered in the best position to discharge the principal function of notaries in authenticating documents: they verify the signer's identity, confirm that the signatory understands the document's contents, and that the latter signed freely and voluntarily.
While the notaries' function has basically remained unchanged for the past centuries, the advent of new technologies has threatened the legal profession where the notaries belong. In fact, the word "legal-tech" has been coined to describe a range of different technologies relating to the delivery of legal services, and one of those services that legal-tech is poised to "replace" or "disrupt" is that of a notary public. Blockchain technology immediately and prominently comes to mind.
A good friend showed me a document that has been "notarized" via blockchain technology and the printout of its corresponding hash code. As this emerging technology boasts, the minutest alteration on the original document will have a corresponding change in the hash code, thus making the "notarized" document tamper-proof. Perhaps, such additional security feature may be availed of by parties, as a value-added, if they want to ensure that the document they would sign (especially if voluminous and had undergone numerous revisions) is the same document they previously and finally agreed to, or that the notarized document presented to them is the exact same document they previously executed and notarized via blockchain. But plainly neither of these two possibilities go into the core function of the real-life notary, which leads to an interesting question: how is the "notary" viewed by some in the legal-tech, particularly those in the blockchain?
One legal-tech describes a notary as "any authority with a given power to guarantee and certify documents, creations, transactions, contracts or identities and sometimes they are needed to store the certified information, or to allow only relevant information to be stored in other official databases." With this understanding, a number of blockchain companies offering different kinds of "notarial services" online have been using "notary" as part of their tradename. While blockchain technology is very promising, unfortunately, this shows some disconnect between the legal realities, on one hand, and the ideas of some advocates of blockchain technology that offer "notarial service."
For one, certifying a transaction, a fact, or an event as what they appear to be as of a particular point in time by "timestamping" the same, through blockchain technology, is not what a notary essentially does, at least in this jurisdiction. In fact, the notary is less concerned with the actual contents of the document before him or with the date he affixes his seal (because the signatories to the document can provide an earlier contractual date anyway); rather, his concern is on verifying the identity of the person/s whose signature appears on the document and on the voluntariness of his act as embodied in the document.
For this reason, as early as 2000, the Philippines' E-commerce act already provided that the Supreme Court "may adopt authentication procedures, including the use of electronic notarization systems as necessary and advisable." At present, electronic notarization and the more recent remote online notarization are beginning to gain traction in the United States by applying credential analysis and identity proofing as identity authentication tools. Here, the notary and the notarial function are not "replaced" and "disrupted" but rather, "enhanced." Imagine being able to notarize your document without having to physically go to the office of the notary (which presently is not allowed because it defeats the purpose of the notary) and still get the benefit of reliability provided by a verifying third party, the notary public, who uses not just his own gut-based fraud detection technique but also the latest technology. However, there appears no indication yet that our Supreme Court is looking at this direction.
The foregoing tells us that while legal-tech, particularly those employing blockchain technology, poses a lot of promise for the improvement of delivery of legal services, among others, it needs to attune itself with legal realities in order for the technology to reach its best potential. This also tells us that as the law traditionally remains to be largely territorial, it would do well for legal-tech to understand the unique legal environment and market where it seeks to operate so that everyone involved can maximize the potential benefits that the new technology offers. A mutual collaboration between and among stakeholders is indeed the best way to start.

Napster co-founder Sean Parker donates millions for allergy research centre
Posted by Henry under CHARITIES , Health & Medical , WEALTHY PEOPLE
Donating millions: Sean Parker.
Sean Parker of Napster fame is donating $US24 million ($AU29 million) to create a new research institute at Stanford University with the mission of finding a cure – not just another treatment – for allergies.
In announcing the gift, the 35-year-old technology whiz revealed that he has suffered from life-threatening food allergies and asthma for most of his life. He said he missed the final weeks of his senior year at Chantilly (Virginia) High School because of complications from allergies and that his wife estimates he has been hospitalised 14 times in the time they have known each other.
"We think of allergies as being a nuisance or inconvenience, but there are a huge number of people for whom it is pretty debilitating," Parker, who is estimated by Forbes to be worth $US3 billion ($AU3.7 billion), said during a conference call Monday with reporters.
Parker, co-founder of the Napster file-sharing service and Facebook's founding president, said that while the number of people with allergies is rising, research has been "stuck in the stone ages."
About 30 per cent of the global population is affected by allergies each day. Those with allergies to things such as pollen often use antihistamine pills and nasal sprays. Some build tolerance by getting shots that expose them to tiny amounts of allergens.
There are not any approved treatments for people with food allergies, so they must avoid exposure to foods they are allergic to. Many carry around devices with epinephrine, which can stop an attack, in case of accidental exposure.
Parker said he wants to move the field away from managing symptoms and toward delving into the mechanisms of the immune system's response during allergic reactions.
The new institute, which will be called the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy Research, will be led by Kari Nadeau, a researcher at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford. She has pioneered research that involves exposing patients to small amounts of peanuts, wheat and other allergens in a controlled setting.
Parker has become an influential philanthropist and spokesman for research into the immune system. His largest donations before the one to Stanford have gone to the emerging field of cancer immunotherapy, which looks at how the body's immune system can be harnessed to stop cancers.
SAMSUNG WORKPLACE SAID TO GIVE WORKERS SERIOUS CRIPPLING ILLNESSES
Posted by Henry under Articles , EMPLOYMENT , Health & Medical , MOVERS & SHAKERS
SEOUL — When Han Hye-kyung finished high school and got a job at Samsung, her family celebrated with a barbecue. But within two years, she stopped menstruating. And then she couldn't walk straight. And then doctors found a brain tumour, something she and her family claim came from toxins at a factory run by the South Korean tech giant.
Han and her mother are among a small group of Koreans who say there's a dark side to this country's most iconic conglomerate. They say conditions at a Samsung Electronics production plant caused hundreds of rare diseases over the past two decades, some fatal, with most victims in their 20s or 30s.
The fight between Samsung and dozens of former workers persisted for years on the fringes. But the plight of those ex-employees has suddenly forced its way into the mainstream, reflecting South Korea's growing concern about safety and corporate accountability.
Samsung and other chaebol, as the conglomerates are known, have long stood as the unassailable patriarchs of South Korea's Third-World-to-riches rise. But in the past few months, lawmakers have demanded that Samsung provide an explanation for the spate of rare diseases. A crowd-sourced movie inspired by the issue hit theatres. And recently, Samsung apologised in a nationally televised news conference for its "lack of attention" to the pain and distress of former employees with the unusual illnesses.
There's no clear proof linking the diseases with factory conditions. Samsung said in a statement to The Washington Post that it is "meeting or exceeding" industry health and safety standards and emphasised a series of safety innovations that it called "best-in-class." But some politicians and activists here say the employees' health problems highlight the faults of a company that emphasised productivity over safety and prevented the formation of workers' unions.
For those who have pushed Samsung to acknowledge the diseases, the recent apology was a partial vindication, coming after years in which Samsung questioned their credibility. Samsung promised compensation for victims but pointedly did not claim responsibility. Han and her mother, Kim Shi-nyeo, watched the announcement on an off-brand flat-screen at their rented apartment; Kim had sold nearly every Samsung product she owned because just looking at the logo made her angry.
Han, severely disabled by the surgery to remove her brain tumour, beat her chest as she heard Samsung Electronics chief executive Kwon Oh-hyun say he was "heartbroken" by what had happened.
Kim teared up.
"I felt, to an extent, like all those years we've had to go through were recognised," Kim said. "At the same time, the fact still remains that my daughter has to live the rest of her life this way."
Complicated claims
Samsung is known globally for its televisions and smartphones, but within Korea, its influence is broader — that of a do-everything titan that sells life insurance, builds apartments and accounts for one-fifth of the nation's gross domestic product.
Those who study Samsung say the company is increasingly sensitive to blemishes on its image as its ailing chairman, Lee Kun-hee, prepares to pass the reins to his only son.
"The social mood is changing in Korea, and I think Samsung sensed that," said Kim Sang-jo, an economist at Hansung University who specialises in the conglomerate. "The [rare diseases] had become a symbolic problem for Samsung. It was starting to be seen as a very arrogant and stubborn company."
Concern about Samsung's factory conditions first surfaced seven years ago, when two former employees who had worked side by side, Hwang Yu-mi and Lee Suk-yeong, died of leukemia within months of one another. Hwang was 23, and her father, a taxi driver, felt the deaths couldn't be a coincidence.
In the years since, about 200 other people have claimed sicknesses from Samsung production lines, mostly from the Giheung plant 20 miles south of Seoul, which manufactures semiconductors and liquid crystal displays.
But the claims are complicated. Most mainstream medical experts say that the causes of brain tumours and leukemia are essentially unknown. Still, there are some factors that can increase the risk, including exposure to radiation and benzene. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says "long-term exposure" to high levels of benzene can cause leukemia and some cancers.
Like other high-tech manufacturers, Samsung uses potentially harmful chemicals on its production lines — including benzene — but not at levels exceeding safety standards, according to studies that Samsung has permitted of its workplaces.
In part because of that ambiguity, South Korea's government-run workplace compensation agency has sent conflicting signals about whether it thinks the claims are legitimate. In four cases, the agency has determined that the diseases were workplace accidents, the result of chemical exposure, according to Lee Jong-ran, a lawyer who represents many of those who have fallen ill.
But in 23 other cases, including Han's, the agency said there was no clear correlation. Those workers have appealed to the courts, where they've squared off against the compensation agency and faced yet another challenge — Samsung has lent its high-profile lawyers to the government to help with its defence. (Samsung said in May that it would withdraw its lawyers from the cases.)
The diseases were reported by people employed by Samsung in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and the company has since revamped its Giheung plant. Still, several employees who worked there say Samsung for too long paid insufficient attention to worker safety. During occasional power outages, air filtration systems would shut down. Work would stop temporarily, but resume before the gases were entirely cleared, they said.
"It's very expensive to stop a [production] line for a long time," said Ryu Ui-seok, a former Samsung engineer who worked at Giheung from 2004 until 2006 and is in good health. "After even a brief power outage, you'd smell the chemicals very strongly" as people got back to work.
Most of the workers at Giheung were women, recent high school graduates. During the one-month orientations held for newcomers, they were told about the history of the company and the apartments they'd one day be able to afford, according to several former employees. They were given detailed instructions on how to keep the production line clean, an essential for semiconductor manufacturing. But they were told almost nothing about safety or the chemicals they'd be dealing with, they said.
"All we learned was how to be an efficient worker," said Hong Sae-mi, who joined Samsung at 19 and has multiple sclerosis, a disease she says is workplace-related. "The emphasis was on the product, not the people."
In a statement, Samsung said that even dating back to the 1990s, 10 of 200 mandatory education hours for employees were devoted to safety. Employees were instructed on how to handle chemicals and deal with accidents. Samsung also said that in 2007, it implemented a round-the-clock chemical monitoring system, and that out of an "abundance of caution," chemical levels were kept to one-tenth of legal limits.
Samsung declined to discuss Han's case. A company spokeswoman said that in the West, apologising could be seen as an admission of responsibility.
"But the employees are like our family, and the company would like to offer help when the family is in trouble," said the spokeswoman, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. "Instead of looking into whose fault it is, we try to give help first."
Fighting a lost cause
Han, who left Samsung in 2001, developed the menstruation problems while still at the company. But her more serious health issues emerged later; her brain tumour was diagnosed in 2005. In a 2012 blog post, Samsung noted that some ex-employees' illnesses surfaced well after they left the company, making it difficult to draw a link.
Han can't tell her own story. She has full comprehension, but she can barely speak — only a few words now and then. After years of physiotherapy, she can dress herself, but she cannot button her shirts. She cannot write. She can talk on the phone, but only if her mother holds it to her ear.
For all the attention that the claims against Samsung have received in recent months, those dealing with diseases have suffered in private for years. In Han's case, the best-case scenario is that she'll "one day be able to walk to the dinner table," Kim said.
After doctors discovered Han's tumour, she underwent high-risk surgery. She emerged from the 12-hour operation alive, but much different. Her arms flailed uncontrollably and she couldn't lift her head. She had quadruple vision.
It was only in 2008 that Kim heard about the other, comparable cases. Friends told her that fighting Samsung was a lost cause, given its political power and clout with the news media. But Kim joined a growing group of victims and their relatives who held memorial services and brandished banners in front of Samsung's headquarters. Kim sold a restaurant she owned and became a full-time caretaker for her daughter. A group representing the families has paid Han's medical bills over the past two years.
Both the government agency and a Seoul administrative court have ruled there's no confirmed link between Han's condition and her time at Samsung. But Kim says she's "100 percent sure" there is. There is no family history of brain tumours or other rare diseases, and Han never showed health problems before taking her job at Samsung, her mother said.
Kim is now hoping to receive compensation from Samsung in a negotiation process. Her goals are simple. She wants to outfit her apartment with grasp bars and other devices that can help her daughter more easily live at home.
"I want Samsung to think about all the years my daughter cannot work," Kim said. "She will need help for the rest of her life."

BABY BOOMERS IMPACT NOW ON COMMUNITIES AS THEY TURN 65 YEARS
Posted by Henry under AGE RELATED , Health & Medical , PEOPLE , RETIREMENT , Social/Lifestyles/People
Today the baby boomers at 65
Jo Chandler January 1, 2011
They are the generation that changed the social landscape, reshaping – and at times revolutionising – how we live, work and play. Now the boomers have reached a new milestone.
"I hope I die before I get old."
Pete Townshend, My Generation,
The Who. Age 20, 1965
THE first babies of the boomer wave – the generation who shouted loud the anthem composed for them by Townshend, cranking up the volume, thrashing their air guitars and alienating their bemused parents – turn 65 this year.
Some 200,000 of them, the 1946 crop, will hit the milestone in Australia in 2011, with another 5.4 million coming up behind to swell the senior demographic to unprecedented dimensions. Each week more than 1000 Victorians are turning 65. Whether you are inside or outside the boomer legion, brace yourselves – it may be a bumpy ride.
Most boomers will presumably be grateful not to have been granted their youthful wish for an early dispatch. If they could reprise the lyrics to reflect what surveys tell us about their mindset today, My Generation (@2011) would more likely chorus something like "Hope I Die Before I Get Alzheimer's", or "Before I Run Out of Money", or "Before They Put Me in a Home". Or, characteristically, they might just stick out their chins and subvert the whole paradigm: "Define 'old'."
Nonetheless, for a cohort distinguished by trenchant refusal to grow into their parents, to find themselves qualifying to collect the old age pension (the women got there last year) is a confronting moment.
What with the creaky hips, collapsed jawlines and shrinking newsprint, you'd excuse a bit of crankiness. As one author wrote in, abruptly deflecting an invitation from The Age to reflect on his imminent 65th, "I can think of few things I would rather do less – for example, sliding down a giant razor blade."
However reluctantly, the boomers are positioning to redefine old age, just as they have recast every other category of the demographic continuum on the push through. From the generation that invented teenage-hood, embraced the sexual revolution, fought the gender war, manufactured consumer culture, wrestled the work-life balance, fractured traditional family and rode the wave of prosperity until it crashed around their ears in the global financial crisis – now comes The New Old Age.
By the time they hit 65, most boomers have acclimatised to the shock of senior status, says social commentator Hugh Mackay. They have negotiated fraught middle age, coming to terms with the externals of gravity.
Nonetheless, many will struggle with questions of identity when they pull in the shingle of their occupation. Then there are issues of relevance, spirituality, legacy and death, together with the less existential questions of financial security and bodily decay. The last of these looms particularly large for those boomers caring for elderly parents.
At some deepest level, Mackay reckons many never imagined they would set foot on the grey landscape. Hence quite a few arrive without the stash of savings they might have wished they had, and perhaps with more baggage than they bargained. After all, "We're here for a good time/Not a long time".
"That was their generational ethos," Mackay says. "That is why they were the inventors of instant gratification. They were absolutely impatient, voracious consumers of everything – education, travel, sex. They married young, had kids young, they went into it all with their ears pinned back." He anticipates nothing less as they move through what was once retirement and into their senior years.
For example, in regard to work, "what they are talking about is not retirement, but in classic boomer style, they are 'refocusing'," says Mackay. "That might mean chopping back a bit at paid work, playing a bit more golf, doing a bit of volunteering, but not absolutely stopping work. That would be a sign that you are old." Their vision is to enter a new "airy, sunlit upland" drifting between work and play.
In this landscape they can embrace maturity, and will demand for themselves the venerable status of elder. Many of them are signalling that they will turn their energies to philanthropy and volunteerism – perhaps to make amends, perhaps to redefine themselves, perhaps even acting from altruism.
Most will cling fast to the demeanour and accoutrements of their younger selves for as long as they can. As Professor Simon Biggs – formerly head of gerontology at King's College London, now continuing his exploration of mature identity at the University of Melbourne – has observed, many will continue to use consumerism to buy the props that declare who they are – the clothes or holidays or houses, books or music or indulgences.
But whereas in middle age this may have been invested in what Biggs called the "masquerade of youth", at 65, most of the 1946 babies interviewed by The Age seem more inclined to spend money and time on things that reflect their inner core, hopefully straddling youthful attitude and maturity.
To understand where the boomers will take old age requires an understanding of where they came from. Their life courses – while individually diverse – have been propelled by strong political, economic and social winds prevailing through their formative years. As children of the Cold War, they were shaped by contradictory influences, explains Mackay.
"One was the looming prospect of nuclear war, the thought that at any minute, either deliberately or accidentally, we would all be history. That co-existed with the surprise of postwar economic boom … full employment, massive explosions in manufacturing, housing, business in general."
The baby boomers climbed aboard the economic escalator, enjoying whatever wealth and opportunity they found on the way up. As it turned out they weren't claimed by nuclear fallout, but neither did they enjoy an entirely rosy ride – particularly those at the leading edge of the boomer wave.
"They hit this very turbulent period. The big credit squeeze of the '70s, the massive recession of the '80s, even more severe than the one in the '90s. So their generation experienced the highest rate of unemployment since the Great Depression," observes Mackay. "They set new divorce records. 'All you need is love' didn't quite turn out. They had a lot of pain."Now they want the gain..
They were in the thick of the gender bender revolution – wonderful for many women, confronting for some, and deeply challenging for their menfolk. And in the midst of all the economic upheaval came the info-tech revolution, late enough to be a real challenge "They have been here for a long time, and it hasn't always been such a good time," says Mackay. "However, they have always seen themselves as iconoclasts and social pioneers. At every stage they have seen themselves as being younger than their parents at the same age. And brighter, fitter, better fed, better dressed, better educated, with better taste and so on."
They will determinedly do old age better too. But it is a fraught landscape. At 65, big questions loom. How will I spend the next 20 or 30 years? Will I work? Can I afford to play? Will I lose my marbles? Where will I live? How do I engage with the world? And the question ringing loudly in the internal world of a generation for whom self-absorption and self-actualisation was not self-indulgence – who will I be when I am old?
'THERE is a certain point in one's life where you start to count forward to where you are probably going to die, rather than counting back to where you started your life or your career," says gerontologist Professor Hal Kendig, head of the ageing, work, and health research unit at the University of Sydney.
That moment is now upon many boomers. In this they are not so special – their forebears met it with no more relish. But boomers have an ace up their sleeve – time. "Old age used to be this very short period between when you stop working and when you get frail and die, especially for men," says Kendig. Today, Australian Bureau of Statistics figures conservatively anticipate a 65-year-old man surviving into his mid-80s, and women nudging 90.
Earlier generations arguably accepted too easily negative and lower expectations for older people, Kendig says. But whereas they slipped into their cardigans and comfy chairs for a relatively brief stay in God's waiting room, the boomers are busting through into the so-called Third Age.
Like Mackay, Kendig also looks to the boomers' past to get a fix on their future. He tracks the nexus of their key life stages against critical moments of history – such as growing up in rising affluence and the new suburbia, and entering adulthood in a period of tumultuous social change. The identity they forged in the 1960s will now inform who they are in their 60s, 70s and 80s. But for a couple of reasons, just how that will turn out is not entirely clear.
The first caveat, says Kendig, is that the boomers are not necessarily as wayward as we think. The second is that once again the boomers are moving into a new life stage at precisely the same moment history churns violently, their retirement plans ripped apart by the GFC.
"The sharpness of that economic shock had a very frightening effect on people on the verge or retiring, and was even worse on those who had just retired," says Kendig.
Despite all the hyperbole about boomers as carefree change agents who partied like there was no tomorrow, Kendig points out that every baby boomer was raised by a parent who came to adulthood during the Great Depression. "They grew up with core values from parents who had to fix their socks and worry about the next meal. So we baby boomers have our stoical parents somewhere deep within ourselves."
The GFC brought those values to the surface.
When Kendig and his colleagues surveyed 1000 boomers on the impact of the GFC last year, they found almost 40 per cent of those working were financially hit hard. As a consequence, more than 41 per cent of women, and almost 32 per cent of men, decided to postpone their retirement plans.
Between those electing to stay in paid work because of financial necessity, and those who want to work to preserve their identity and engagement in the world, the boomers are set to maintain a visible profile in the workforce. The sixtysomethings and even seventysomethings will be hanging around the office a while yet.
This is a good thing, Kendig argues – both for older individuals, and for society. The boomers are greying just as a trough in births plays out in an increasingly depleted workforce. "That is a major change, one that has precipitated lots of reactions which get focused on baby boomers. One of them is 'we can't afford these guys'."
Much of the focus of public policy discussion on the cost to government of demographic change "in a sense blames the older population … but it's structural, not personal". Kendig wants to see more policy encouraging older productivity, in part as an antidote to anticipated shortages of workers.
"Employers are recognising, at a time of low levels of unemployment, that baby boomers are worth keeping. That's a huge change – a new era in history. Australia is recognising the big bugbear for the future is not youth unemployment, it is having enough workers for everyone, including the government – so our attitudes are starting to change."
Continuing to work will help boomers who have failed to put aside enough money for retirement to maintain their lifestyles. "It is true that many boomers have expectations far beyond the old age pension," says Kendig. But he dismisses perceptions that they will syphon up public resources they are not entitled to at the expense of younger generations. "Older people care about their kids and the future and all the rest. It's not going to happen."
Kendig emphasises that work is not just about money, but about continuing to contribute to families, to communities, and to maintain a sense of self. He uses the allegory of a farmer who, with advancing age, downsizes to a garden, and then tends a few plants on a shelf.
"One of the fundamental questions is how one maintains, often with fierce effort, one's ongoing core identity, regardless of how the body changes, and changes in the the way people look at you and treat you. Work for the continuing self is probably the major challenge of growing older."
On this he is in fierce agreement with Associate Professor Peter Hunter, a geriatrician and clinical leader at Alfred Health. "The biggest issue for doctors in terms of the ageing process is not clinical, but managing the psychosocial aspects – how people see themselves in the community."
Hunter is not expecting to see the 1946 babies coming into his care for another 20 years – he's still largely preoccupied with looking after their parents. In that context, he has seen enough of boomers to be worried about what is to come.
"We've just seen the tail end of the 'nation builders' generation, a very stoic group, grateful for anything they get out of the health system, out of education, out of government."
Their children have made it clear they expect rather a lot more. The boomers are well known to their health carers as educated, demanding, and very articulate about what they do and don't want. They are very vocal in speaking up for what they expect for their parents, which can sometimes lead to difficult conversations about treatment. "In some situations, where treatment is futile, we have to say no to people.
But some families want everything." He is not relishing the prospect of telling the boomers, 20 years hence, that some of the services they expect will not be available to them. But he warns that unless there is a policy decision to significantly increase health spending as a nation, that will be the reality.
Considering their physical profile as they grow older, the New Old will not be cheap or easy to care for. "Thirty years ago, the thing that killed people in their 70s and 80s was cardiovascular disease," says Hunter. Now they will survive to acquire a different profile of ailments.
"In the next 20 years some of the real health problems will be neurodegenerative diseases, the most important one being dementia. The risk of Alzheimer's doubles every five years after the age of 65," says Hunter. A report by Access Economics for Alzheimer's Australia estimates there will be 1.1 million Australians with dementia in 2050, compared with 245,000 today. Almost 25 per cent of women and 21 per cent of men aged 85 to 89 have dementia, rising to almost 50 per cent (women) and 37 per cent (men) at 95 years.
The other looming issue in healthcare is that many of today's elderly are able to stay in their homes courtesy of informal support from extended family and volunteers. But with the fracturing of families and of the expectation that the young will care for their old, and the depletion of the ranks of people delivering services such as Meals on Wheels, the burden on state structures will increase at the same time as boomers are fighting to stay in their homes.
"A lot of baby boomers suffer under a sort of national delusion that the same benefits currently provided to their parents will be available to them in 20 years' time," says Dr Diana Olsberg of the University of New South Wales. "I'm uncertain that this will be the case.
"Boomers are very proud of their independence. They certainly don't want to be separated out into retirement communities as sort of older-people's ghettos. They want to remain within the community."
The area of her academic investigation is "ageing in place – which is not necessarily that older people want to stay in the big family home, but nor do they want to be portioned off to some little bedsitting room". Her surveys show older people hosting lots of visitors in their homes. They want room for hobbies and work. "But there is quite a lot of acceptance of mobility and downsizing."
Olsberg urges a shift in policy to encourage older people to downsize without the proceeds penalising their pensions, and to be able to adapt their living quarters to make them safer as they grow frail. "If you look at the data, after they have a fall they just never recover, with huge costs to the state. If we can keep people living actively within their homes, this undoes a lot of the dire warnings on the health costs of an ageing population, which are predicated on long periods of hospital and residential care."
DESPITE the reams of newsprint and scholarly studies devoted to exploring boomer character, their sheer number and diversity mean as a pack they defy generalities. But one of the dominant themes in the literature today is that many ageing boomers are afflicted by a sense of moral discontent, still searching for the elusive elixer which is happiness.
A survey released last month by the US Pew Research Centre underlined this thesis, painting the boomers as pretty glum. They trailed all other age cohorts in overall life satisfaction. Some 80 per cent of American boomers were unhappy with how things were going in the country, 21 per cent felt worse off than their parents at the same age, and 34 per cent figured their children would fare worse than them. (And by the way, they told the surveyors, old age begins at 72, NOT 65.)
One of the problems in gauging the mood of Australian boomers is that there is relatively little deep survey work locally, and the US and the British findings don't necessarily fit here, says Associate Professor Elizabeth Ozanne of the University of Melbourne.
Nonetheless, the Pew findings resonate with a 2006 paper for the Australia Institute which argued that "contrary to their image as successful and self-satisfied, many baby boomers nurse a sense of disappointment, a barely articulated sense that it was not meant to turn out this way". The paper argued that the perception of the boomers as the "lucky generation" was distorted by preoccupation with wealthy boomers, and obscured the starker realities of their fellow lower-income peers.
How Australian boomers might respond to angst over life, the universe and everything is still anyone's guess, says Ozanne. "Will they become more narcissistic and consumerist, versus having real social commitments? It could go either way one would think."
Last year, she published a paper exploring the potential of boomers to negotiate "a new social contract and cultural maturing in an ageing Australia", a discussion which dug under the assumptions of who boomers are, to identify the realities of the subgroups most at risk as they age – the divorced, the lonely, the poor (who are disproportionately women), and ethnic and indigenous populations.
In the same way that some ageing experts want stronger policy on health spending and workplace reform, Ozanne would like to see a broader public conversation about ageing, one which encourages older people to rethink their social contribution. She wants to see campaigns eroding the ageism that still prevails in society. She is hoping this might in part be achieved as new pathfinders emerge – inspirational people who change the rules on ageing behaviour and become role models for engaged elder-hood.
As society adjusts to the realities of a new, mature demographic and all that entails, Simon Biggs points out that at an individual level, boomers have much to look forward to in their Third Age.
For all their youthful objections to conformity, most boomers toed the social line, escaping their families of origin only to find themselves locked into predefined roles. They married, became parents, got a job and a mortgage.
"As [psychoanalyst] Carl Jung observed," says Simon Biggs, " the cost of conformity in contemporary society is considerable when you look at the potential of most human beings." Around midlife, people begin to feel constrained by their roles, but it is in later life that they might find the freedom to develop neglected parts of themselves.
There is, he says, capacity for a second-half epiphany. Again, he looks to Jung to explain the rich spiritual dimensions of later life.
"You are becoming more aware of yourself as a person, more individuated, and simultaneously aware that you are just one of the grains of sand on the beach.
"So you get a huge dose of being in perspective, as well as this notion of being more oneself."
We all grow older but one is lucky when one acquires wisdom with age which can be a rare commodity
In terms of spirit and soul, ageing well is an act that can defy gravity.

MANDATORY MASS MEDICATION by POISON
Posted by Henry under Environment , Events Fairs Conventions , Health & Medical , Water Energy Resources
IN GOD WE TRUST – BUT THE GOVERNMENT ????
We somehow have allowed those that we elected in trust to manage our country and its affairs to dictate what is good for us and protect us from our enemies…. and ourselves.?
Mass medication by poisonous fluoride is good for us say the beaurocrats and their consultants.
What next-Formaldehyde to offset old age.?
What next?-a terrorist or mentally deranged individuals attack on the water supply by introducing potassium cyanide into the populations drinking water.
Perhaps yet again another substance that will allow us to be controlled and dociled by those that govern us to the point where we become zombies to do their bidding.
Accidents do happen.
So what if the dose is somehow mis-judged or goes wrong despite all security measures being in place.
We as a population are then dead or at best mentally retarded or physically damaged on a grand scale.
The person/s or government responsible says
'I am sorry, it was an accident. It will not happen again"
These bastards need to be put into their place.
Most mean well.
I for one am DEAD [pardon the pun] against such compulsory introductions on a mass scale where we have NO CONTROL and NO NEED..
I'm sorry, I am far from convinced on fluoride benefits
Next we will have mass sterilization of the population because some clown/s in government decides we have too many people on the planet or in the country.
Yet again we may be told not only do we have to have mass treatment for perfect white teeth but it is now mandatory to be medicated on a grand scale for having shiny hair, so therefore we have decreed that now the poisonous chemical.[……….]will be introduced into the water to ensure this will happen and we your elected representatives and our offsiders know what is good for you.
Next on the agenda will be…stronger bones and we will discuss the benefits of adding cremated body parts to the water supply to ensure that you get the benefits of all that
calcium and nutrients and think about the recycling benefits for the planet…and so it could go on.
We will now introduce compulsory gassing of all peoples over the age of 70 years because they are a drain on the country's resources. We shall call it…
'DOB IN YOUR GRANDPARENTS'
[More nutrients for the water supply]
WE YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU. TRUST US.
Now next, the plan to create a master race…
WE KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU..
Those who want to ingest the poison let them do so at their own choice and risk.
[SUICIDE IS A STILL A CRIME]
I want my drinking and personal use water left alone.
It took us long enough to accept Chlorine as an additive.
I like cocktails, but…..

WHY WORK – BECOME A REFUGEE !
Posted by Henry under Acbo News , Events Fairs Conventions , General News , Health & Medical , Money Wealth Finance , Shopping , Social/Lifestyles/People , Special People
REFUGEE PAYMENTS DISGRACE.
government handouts $$$$
NO WONDER THEY WANT TO COME AND LIVE HERE…
It is interesting that the Federal Government provides a Single Refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890.00 and each can also get an additional $580.00 in Social Assistance for a total of $2,470.00. Family of 4 receive $9,880.00 per month. Family of 4 receive yearly $118,685.00
*A single Australian Pensioner who, after contributing to the growth and development of Australia for 40 or 50 years, receives only a monthly maximum of $1,012.00 in old age pension and guaranteed income supplement.
Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!
Let's send this to all Australians so we can all be ticked off and maybe we can get the refugees cut back to $1,012.00 and the pensioners up to $2,470.00. And enjoy some of the money we are FORCED TO SUBMIT to the government.
*Please forward to every Australian to expose what our elected politicians are doing to the OVER-TAXED AUSTRALIAN.
This is the reply of the Australian government:

Q: Delete all messages in a channel from my bot channel.fetchMessages()
.then(messages => messages.array.forEach(
    message => message.author.equals(client.user) && message.delete()
));

Tried to do this to delete from TextChannel channel all messages that my bot has sent.
Doesn't work, errors:

messages.array.forEach is not a function

How can I get my bot to delete all the messages my bot has sent to a specific channel?

A: Your problem is that .array is a function, not just a property on the messages collection. Instead of using .array, use .array(). Here's the fix in your code:
channel.fetchMessages()
.then(messages => messages.array().forEach(
    message => message.author.equals(client.user) && message.delete()
));


From this page you can download my image processing program, BAOlab. This includes, among other things, the Ishape task for size measurements of compact sources (Larsen 1999, A&AS 139, 393) and the mksynth task for generation of synthetic images with realistic noise characteristics.
Get the gzip'ed tar file and type 'tar xvzf baolab-x.y.z.tar.gz', where x.y.z is the version number.
Type 'make' in order to build BAOlab. You need gcc and the X11 libraries (R5 or later). You may have to edit the Makefile if you are not using X11R6, or if your X11 libraries are not installed in /usr/X11R6.
Type 'setenv BLPATH <wherever baolab is located on your disk>' - assuming you use a c-shell. For bash it would be 'export BLPATH=<wherever baolab is located on your disk>'. This makes it possible to access the parameter and help files also if you change to another directory. You may want to put this command in your .cshrc file (or .profile, .bashrc, .tcshrc, .login, or whatever) so you don't have to worry about it each time you want to run BAOlab.
Enter BAOlab by typing 'bl' - and have fun! There is a demo picture called 'demo.fts'. Type 'help baolab' for more information.
A number of pre-defined compiler/linker options are defined in the Makefile. If BAOlab doesn't compile right away, try uncommenting another set of options. Pay particular attention if compiling on a Dec Alpha system (the -mieee compiler option must be set to avoid floating exceptions) or on some 64-bit Linux (and possibly other) systems where the X11 libraries are in a non-standard location.
Once the code has compiled, you can type 'make clean'. This will remove intermediate files produced during the compilation (*.o).
You may also be able to use one of pre-compiled binaries directly. Please note that these may not always be up-to date with the most recent version of the source code. You will probably have to make them executable with 'chmod +x bl-x.y.z' after downloading. Also note that, even if you get the pre-compiled binaries, you still need to get the tar file which contains the help file, sample baolab.par parameter file etc.
BAOlab is still in the developing phase (and will probably remain there forever). However, as I am using it quite regularly myself one may hope that the most severe bugs have been worked out. No guarantees, though. Use it at your own risk. The features included in BAOlab are heavily biased towards applications that I have needed for my own work.
The recommended way to compile BAOlab is with gcc. Other compilers may work as well.
BAOlab does not have a sophisticated scripting language, but it does allow you to execute commands in a simple batch-mode. More info can be found in the help file, baolab.hlp. To read about syntax, scripts etc. type 'help syntax' at the BAOlab prompt.
The code is pretty standard C code and should compile on most platforms. Over the years, I have successfully compiled and used BAOlab on Sun, Linux, SGI, HP, DEC alpha, Apple Powerbook/Macbook Pro machines, and under Windows/Cygwin. However, I won't guarantee that any particular version of the code will compile or run on all of these platforms.
Beware of the '.blrc' file - this file contains commands to be executed at start-up time and should be located in your BAOlab-home directory.
Finally, please drop me a note if you find BAOlab useful, or if you have any comments, questions or criticism.
BAOlab is named after Boserup Amateur Observatory - a small amateur observatory in Denmark where it all began.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are an American professional basketball team based in Cleveland, Ohio. They began playing in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 1970 as an expansion team. They play their home games at Quicken Loans Arena.
The Cavaliers have featured many NBA stars during its history, including draft picks turned All-Stars Austin Carr, Brad Daugherty, Mark Price, LeBron James, and Kyrie Irving. Past NBA greats such as Nate Thurmond, Walt "Clyde" Frazier, and Shaquille O'Neal also played in Cleveland (albeit near the end of their careers). The team has had moderate success in its history, winning three Central Division Championships (1976, 2009, 2010), an Eastern Conference Championship in 2007, and 18 total playoff seasons. However, the team has also had a number of dubious distinctions, such as former owner Ted Stepien's tenure, which led the NBA to create a rule regulating the trading of draft picks ("The Stepien Rule"), and a 26 game losing streak in 2010–11, which tied the record for the longest losing streak in major American professional sports.
Cleveland Cavaliers Cleveland choose Syracuse's Dion Waiters — a sixth man in college, but perhaps the guard with the most NBA scoring potential in the draft.
