Mugging Fail
I love this scene: Montparnasse tries to rob Jean Valjean, but gets trounced and lectured to instead. And Gavroche picks the would-be-mugger's pocket, leaving the coins for Mabeuf, whose hedge he's hiding in.
It's got quick reversals, irony, and over-the-top coincidence.
"Who was this old gent? The reader has probably guessed." But Gavroche doesn't know him, and he's the viewpoint character for the scene, so the narrator dances around his name instead of giving it.
Incidentally, Gavroche is trying to steal apples – which is what Champmathieu was arrested for. Back in that chapter it was mentioned that it could be excused of a boy, but not a grown man.
These last few chapters bring back two looks at Valjean's years as a prisoner: The chain gang being taken to prison, and his scare-em-straight tale to Montparnasse. The story has moved on, structurally…but of course Valjean isn't allowed to move on. That's the whole point of his arc, that society won't let him just be, and always sees him as an ex-convict.

The offering of a second chance, and acceptance/refusal of said chance, happens repeatedly in Les Misérables.
The Bishop's pardoning of Jean Valjean's theft, of course, works out quite well.
M. Madeleine releasing Fantine from custody elicits a reaction very much like Valjean's response to being pardoned by the Bishop, and if she hadn't been deathly ill, this probably would have been her chance to climb back out of poverty (options in 1823 for an ex-prostitute might be limited, but she might have left town for a fresh start, or joined a convent, or something).
Valjean offers Montparnasse some money and a chance to reform after he tries to mug the elderly gentlemen. Parnasse of course ignores it. The scare-em-straight approach with an attitude of utter contempt might have been a factor, but Montparnasse clearly wouldn't have been receptive at this point anyway.
Marius offers Thénardier some money after the blackmail attempt fails, admonishing him to make an honest man of himself. Again, Thénardier isn't receptive, and again, Marius is condescending.

Part 25: Gavroche and the Adventure of the Incognito Family
I thought I had remembered all of the Thénardier children. Éponine, of course. Azelma, who doesn't appear in the musical but doesn't really have much of a role in the book anyway. And finally (I thought), Gavroche, the lovable street urchin who's treated as an orphan in the show but is a runaway (who occasionally goes back to visit) in the book.
There are actually two younger brothers, whom Hugo doesn't name, making five in all. Mme Thénardier only has enough love for her daughters. Not Cosette, not her sons, not anyone else in the world.
Now get this: Remember Magnon, Gillenormand's ex-servant who gets him to pay for her two children by claiming they're his? Her children die in an epidemic of croup, and the Thénardiers agree to let her have their small boys so that she'll keep getting her stipend. M. Gillenormand doesn't notice when he visits, whether because he's not paying attention or because he's just old. Continue reading →

Part 23: Epic Fail at Mugging
I'm re-reading Victor Hugo's Les Misérables after 20 years. Start with part 1, go back to read about the Valjean and Cosette at the Rue Plumet, or read on!
This is a really short scene, but I wanted to give it its own post just for its awesomeness.
Now recovered from his injury, Valjean goes back to wandering the streets at night. "It would be a mistake to suppose that one can wander in this fashion through the deserted districts of Paris without ever meeting with an adventure."
Now, just count the coincidences in this setup:
Gavroche is trying to sneak into Pere Mabeuf's garden to steal apples. Mabeuf and Plutarque are outside discussing their dire financial situation, so he has to hide in the hedge to avoid being caught. While there, he witnesses Montparnasse try to mug Jean Valjean — I mean an elderly gentleman — on the street outside.
So, Montparnasse vs. Jean Valjean. What do you think happens? He gets his 'Parnasse handed to him, of course, looking like "a wolf savaged by a sheep."
Valjean starts grilling him: "What is your business in life?" "Loafer." Then he tries to scare him straight with a multi-page monologue: What will happen to him when he's caught, the effort he'll have to put in to avoiding work, how awful prison is, and always looking over your shoulder. At one point he repeats the description of the hidden saw in a coin from earlier, as if Hugo forgot he'd already described it, but wanted to make sure he included this fascinating bit of research.
"Have you ever seen a treadmill? It is a thing to beware of, a cunning and diabolical device…" I'm sure many would agree.
When Valjean thinks he's made enough of an impression, he hands over his coin purse. It's an echo of the Bishop giving him a second chance, but Montparnasse isn't open to the message (though he is "moved to thought, perhaps for the first time in his life"). The different approach probably didn't help much either.
And then, the best part of the scene: While Montparnasse is watching Valjean walk away, Gavroche lifts the purse from his coat pocket, then tosses it into Mabeuf's garden.
Next up: Creeping around the garden. Well, another garden.

Part 21: Just a Lark
I'm re-reading Victor Hugo's Les Misérables after 20 years. Start with part 1, go back to read about the revolutionary mood of 1832 Paris, or read on!
Marius is utterly despondent after witnessing the attempted robbery. Cosette's gone again, and he still doesn't know her name — in fact, it's worse, because he thought he knew it, but it turns out he doesn't after all. He had to choose between his true love's father and the man who saved his own father, and learn that the latter was vile and repulsive. Even now he can't bring himself to testify against Thénardier, and actually sends him money in prison (even though he has to borrow it from Courfeyrac). He's also stopped working and fallen into a vicious circle.
I love this scanning error in the Kindle edition: "It is her own thoughts that are reaching meh!"
Marius fails at telepathy.
At one point he wanders into a picturesque field that "because the place is worth seeing no one visits it." But it's called the Field of the Lark, and since he's learned Cosette's old nickname, he seizes on it as a sign. So from then on, whenever he gives up staring at the blank piece of paper he's supposed to be writing on, he goes there.
Aftermath of a Robbery
You'd think Javert would be pleased at having captured most of the gang, but he's troubled by one loss: "The prospective victim who escapes is even more suspect than the prospective murderer." He's already forgotten Marius except as "that little nincompoop of a lawyer who had probably been scared out of his wits."
Montparnasse and Éponine apparently have…something going on. He escaped capture because he left early, "more in a mood to amuse himself with the daughter than play hired assassin for the father." In a later chapter, he's described as "perhaps [Thénardier's] unofficial son-in-law." It's not clear how far it goes, though he's more interested than she is. In any case, it's odd that Hugo dances around this, considering how frank he is about, for instance, Fantine's relationship with Tholomyes.
Remember how I joked that Claquesous was a vampire? He escapes on the way to prison, mystifying the police escort. "He had simply vanished like a puff of smoke, handcuffed though he was." Yeah, vampire. Or maybe Batman. (Javert wonders if he's a double agent, though of course he disapproves of the practice.)
Of course, they don't let a "trifle" like being in prison keep them from running their criminal enterprise. They send messages back and forth between prison yards and out of the prison hidden inside lumps of bread, tossed over the wall. One of them gets wind of a likely house to rob in the Rue Plumet (sound familiar?), contacts Magnon (M. Gillenormand's former servant from 200 pages ago!), who sends Éponine to check it out. Éponine takes one look at it, and sends back a coded message about a biscuit, meaning it's not worth the effort. But she knows someone else very interested in the inhabitants of that house.
It takes Éponine a while to track Marius down. First she locates his old friend Père Mabeuf, the gardener and book-lover who knew his father. He's fallen on hard times, and gotten old besides. The girl helps the old man draw water from the well, an interesting reversal of Valjean and Cosette's first meeting.
He calls her an angel. "'I'm no angel,' she replied. 'I'm the devil, but it's all the same to me.'" Her self-image needs some help.
After he answers her question about Marius, he turns around and she's gone. Later that night as he's drifting off to sleep, he wonders if she was a goblin. Or maybe she's Batman. She's certainly got the voice.
Though since she finds Marius at the Rivière des Gobelins, maybe Mabeuf was right.
Since Marius has last seen Éponine, she's been worked over by both poverty and puberty. It's a bit awkward, and it's kind of surprising that Marius even notices. She starts rambling about this that and the other thing, while he answers her occasional questions with monosyllables.
She mentions that Mabeuf called him a baron. "You can't be a baron. Barons are old. They go and sit in the Luxembourg, on the sunny side of the château, and read the Quotidienne at a sou a copy." I guess this trope is older than I thought.
When she finally tells him "I've got the address," he's suddenly ecstatic. And Éponine? "She withdrew her hand and said in a tone of sadness that would have wrung the heart of any beholder, but of which Marius in his flurry was quite unconscious: 'Oh, how excited you are!'"
Next: Catching up at the Rue Plumet…
My commentaries seem to be covering smaller and smaller chunks of text. I don't know how much is the story getting denser, how much is the greater presence of interesting characters, how much has to do with it being so much easier to highlight a passage and come back to it later instead of commenting as I read, and how much is just seeing more connections because I've read more of the story so far.

Remrise's Integrated System Is Solving Sleep Issues Through Herbs, Tech And Personal Coaching
Roseanna Roberts
All the odds seem to be against getting proper sleep, and the aids available aren't always effective—or healthy. PSFK speaks to Remrise founder & CEO Veronica Lee about providing a revolutionary holistic and sustainable solution based on personalized sleep formulas and accompanying app services
•Faced with more barriers than ever to restorative sleep, consumers are either de-prioritizing rest or turning to potentially unhealthy substances to get some needed shut-eye.
•While there are various aids and solutions on the market like sleep meditation apps or supplements, many of them take a single-pronged approach, addressing isolated elements involved in getting proper zzzs or involving routines that aren't realistic for many.
•Remrise is a new kind of DTC holistic sleep solution that combines an East-meets-West supplement regimen with opt-in data tracking and individualized sleep coaching to design personalized and sustainable routines that foster restful nights and productive days. PSFK sits down with founder Veronica Lee for all the details on building an integrated system for successful sleep:
Veronica Lee. Founder & CEO, Remrise. Courtesy Remrise
PSFK: To start, what are some of the broader shifts you're seeing take place right now in the wellness space?
Veronica Lee: At this point, there's a shift around people trying to take a much more active stance with their health. There's a bit of distrust around the traditional healthcare system, the pharmaceutical industry. People are trying to seek their own education and information.
We're getting more details on how bad lack of sleep is for your health. We're also getting more info on the fact that there's no good solution out there. I think there's a lot more conversation around this. People are trying to take an active approach instead of just listening to what doctors say and the traditional system.
I think the conversation is also starting to shift. When I was starting my career in finance, I never slept. It was a badge of honor to not get sleep and to work really hard, stay up late and get up early. That is finally starting to change. We really want to be at the forefront of that conversation and help people prioritize sleep—making sleep cool.
Courtesy Remrise
What do you think are some of the unmet needs that are driving these shifts and new demands from consumers?
It's just getting harder and harder to get quality sleep and even fall sleep. There are technological distractions. The world is becoming more and more fast-paced. It's just becoming a bigger problem for people. Many are abusing these sleeping drugs—they're not meant to be taken on a daily basis.
There aren't good solutions. This is why people are knocking themselves out with Ambien, prescription drugs. They smoke weed, they drink alcohol, they use Benadryl, ZzzQuil, NyQuil.
All of these are preventing you from getting quality sleep. You're not getting REM cycles. Even if you knock out for 12 hours, you're not actually getting restorative sleep.
On the sleep-aid front, that's what's out there. Then there are sleep tips. I find those largely ineffective, too, because while they articulate what the perfect hygiene would be, no one is actually going to follow the advice. It's very hard to commit to never drinking coffee, never drinking alcohol, falling asleep by 9:30 or 10:00 PM, etc. I find those not empowering in the sense that people will read them and feel like they have failed already.
A lot of services such as Calm and Headspace are calling themselves sleep apps now because the best use case for a lot of them is the sleep meditation. While I think meditation is great, it takes a lot of practice, and is a journey in itself. Many people feel they're not good at it.
What we're doing with our solution is disrupting all these different elements and bringing them together in a holistic way that creates a continuous feedback loop, from the physical to the digital component and experience.
A lot of solutions tend to focus on technology, or service, or product, but you guys have decided to combine them. What motivated you to pursue this approach?
With our holistic system, we really try to understand the root causes and how to balance the different elements of your health. Also, while sleep is probably one of the most foundational elements to affect health, it can often be the first one that gets de-prioritized. We wanted to build something makes it possible for people to keep sleep a priority.
Tell us more about how the Remrise system works.
We're trying to reinvent what a sleep aid is. What we're creating is an all-natural, plant-based solution. We're combining the best of Eastern and Western ingredients, which means taking a lot of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs that have been used for thousands of years. It's basically like taking sleep food. It's plants—like dragon eye fruit—that help you with relaxation.
Consumers are looking for personalization. I think that people really seek self-discovery. That's why, for us, we spent a lot of time creating our quiz. We spent a lot of time developing, with the app, what aspects we're going to ask customers about on a daily basis and what kind of coaching and recommendations we will give them.
We find out if consumers have more trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, what their lifestyle choices are, how often they consume caffeine and alcohol, how much stress they have. With all this data, we categorize them in one of five profile types. These are based on these sleep issues and take in a lot of traditional Chinese medicine patterns. Once we have them into one of these profile types, we give them formulas that they rotate through every four days so that they don't develop a tolerance to a specific one.
Then we create a digital experience. We have a sleep companion app. It will collect passive data, connecting to existing trackers like Fitbit or Apple HealthKit to grab your REM cycles, your deep sleep cycles, bedtimes, wake times, etc. Then we also engage the customer on active data—when they are drinking caffeine, all their lifestyle choices. We then take all that data and make recommendations on how to improve sleep over time. We incorporate sleep coaching and meditation. We're really trying to understand their preferences, their lifestyles, and use that data to create a routine that's sustainable.
Education and transparency are also key for us. We've spent a lot of time sifting through research and selected pieces to put on our website. We'll continue to inform the consumer about sleep issues, these different ingredients that we're using and different sleep hygiene tips. We also offer full transparency on our whole supply chain, from the resourcing of the ingredients, to where and how they're manufactured, to all the testing we've done. We want the customers to feel very comfortable with everything we're providing them.
After you take our quiz and make a purchase, you'll get a subscription. It's a monthly box of the regimen with the four different rotating formulas. From there, consumers can opt into the sleep coaching piece, which occurs on a weekly basis. Through the app, we also interact with consumers daily through personal notifications.
Remrise launched DTC toward the end of 2019. Could you tell us about your positioning, and plans for engagement moving forward?
Our target market is quite broad. We are trying to position ourselves as experts on sleep, with a diverse advisory board and range of editorial content. We want to reach people, whether through social media, TV advertisements or video content, and we're also talking to some podcast hosts. So far, we're really enjoying our conversations with people like you.

Tom Holm's career path has been both unique and uncharted.
He has designed environmentally-considerate custom vehicles for automotive titans like Mercedes-Benz, GM, Mitsubishi, Kia and Ford. He has promoted alternative fuel and conservation programs within the automotive industry, as well as for the U.S. Navy and Marines. He has designed, built and operated mobile medical and research vehicles that set new standards in "green technology." And, his work in non-invasive archaeology is helping to repatriate and rebury of over 1,000 human remains. Tom also produced, wrote and hosted 30 episodes of the Adventure Highway with Tom Holm TV series for the Outdoor Life Network (now NBC Sports West) that highlighted some of Earth's most beautiful locations.
For his work in the automotive industry, GM proclaimed Tom, "a champion who is awakening mankind to alternatives in living and new methods to preserve our natural resources." Mitsubishi said, "Mr. Holm sets an amazingly high standard of integrity and performance" and the German press playfully dubbed Tom, "das Eco Pimper" for his eco-conversions of cars and trucks.
While obtaining his first academic degree in journalism, Tom founded Transcom, which operated vehicles that brought health care to people unable to reach hospitals. Transcom also pioneered the mobile marketing industry and conducted promotional tours for movie studios, TV networks and consumer goods companies. The medical division of Transcom was purchased by an international pharmaceutical company, which enabled it to grow and provided Tom with the time and resources to return to graduate school.
Tom's advanced degree from the prestigious Scripps Institution of Oceanography enables him to investigate the use of biofuels, including those made from algae, while researching sites that are culturally or environmentally sensitive. His research initially focused in areas (land and sea) controlled by the U.S. Navy, then expanded internationally when Holm was appointed the first ever Lead (SCUBA) Diver for the Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology and Conservation during its inaugural expedition to Greece. Tom continues his research in marine archaeology and ethnography worldwide, but likes to focus his attention on the ancient mariners of the Pacific Ocean.
Tom's unique skills have enabled him to work in the Maldives, Greece, Africa, Australia, Guam, Fiji, Palau, Bali, Mexico, New Zealand and Turkey. He has also earned the trust of several Native American tribes, military leaders and conservation groups here in the U.S. Holm's work to protect threatened cultures, wildlife and world monuments inspired him to establish the non-profit EcoTrek Foundation. Through EcoTrek, Tom performs research and educational programs, while he continues writing and speaking about preserving the world's endangered cultures, destinations and precious natural resources.

Twitter faces angry backlash after a Muslim group's video promoting FGM is seen 30,000 times. "My daughters were circumcised, they're growing up perfectly," a woman with a headscarf says in a video.
The Muslim group, Dawoodi Bohra Women for Religious Freedom posted the promoted tweet. In their video a woman was justifying 'khafz', the name for female 'circumcision' on young girls.
Twitter was inundated with complaints over the advert advocating female genital mutiliation on children after 30,000 users viewed the advert.
The group paid for the tweet to be 'promoted', so it showed up on the timelines of users who don't follow the Dawoodi Bohra account.
Whilst Twitter has removed the promoted post, no action was taken on the original tweet, which is still visible. Twitter users disgusted by the tweet's content took to Twitter to express their opinions.
Esmael Omar tweeted: 'Speak for yourself, woman. Don't speak on behalf of innocent girls.
The Dawoodi Bohra group, a branch of the Shi'ite Muslim community, claimed it was 'wrongly classified as female genital mutilation' but the World Health Organisation classifies even the smallest form of removal of skin as type 1 FGM, making it illegal as it can cause health problems or be fatal.

A description of the experience
SPIRIT POSSESSION IN RAJASTHAN - Jeffrey G. Snodgrass [Professor, Department of Anthropology. Colorado State University]
Spiritual beings, good and bad, possess humans for a variety of reasons. Hindu gods, it is said, want fame and feel that appearances in the world—the performance of miracles and communication of important messages— might boost their popularity rating.
Ghosts, too, are said to want things. They "hunger" and feel that they can satisfy their desires—to play (khelna), eat sweet and sour things, devour meat and alcohol, smoke pipes, or engage in sexual activities—in human form. Because of their unclean desires, ghosts are drawn to dirty places such as toilets, cremation grounds, and burial sites, and toward beautiful things like perfumes and brightly colored clothing. This taste for dirt and beauty also draws spirits near women, as females are perceived to be ritually unclean (ashudh)—during menses for three or four days and after birth for twelve days (Dwyer 1998)—yet nonetheless alluring. Women are similarly perceived to have stronger fleshly appetites than men (for rich foods, money, and sex), and to be more vulnerable and fearful than men, thus further increasing their vulnerability to spiritual attack (Dwyer 1998).
Gods, ghosts, and ancestral spirits are also easily offended—from ritual neglect or simple human carelessness—which can draw them into the world in order to express their dissatisfaction and gain redress.
The recently deceased, for example, sometimes feel that their families have not given the priests enough gifts, thus jeopardizing these spirits' safe passage to the realm of Yama (Seeberg 1995, 51). In other cases, sorcerers or conjurers, referred to as jadugars or tantriks, are contracted to place "dirty" (gandi) spirits in the bodies of their patrons' enemies. It is hoped that these summoned spirits, some who come voluntarily and others who are little more than slaves, will seize and consume their victims' souls (Freed and Freed 1990, 404).
Spiritual hit men accomplish ghostly transfers in numerous ways, for example, by giving victims ensorcelled food disguised as a sacred offering termed prasad, that renders their marks more susceptible to supernatural attack (Seeberg 1995, 52). In addition to sorcery (jadu-tona) and poisoned gifts of food, witchcraft can also weaken a person enough to precipitate a spiritual attack. Shamans may even cause the possession of their former patients, if, say, they become angered because their patients turn to other healers.
Finally, ghosts are closely associated with liminal places (crossroads, burial grounds) and times (dusk and dawn, noon and midnight). In traveling over these places or at these times, one may inadvertently bring pestering ghosts into one's body, although a host of auspiciousness (shubh and ashubh) beliefs concerning, for example, when to leave one's house and when not to, minimize such dangers (for ghosts' links to place, as opposed to sorcery's association with familial conflict, see Dwyer 1998).

In the situations of mass migration, when the standard methods of support and intervention are not fully available, it appears that the identification and initiation of social, intergroup resources of the people in refuge and migration could mitigate this deficiency. The methods of work are based on group sharing, the use of means of expression such as drawing, rhythm, song, body movement and dramatic expression. The process of designing a creative answer to the personal and collective crisis, is at the same time the process of facing, feeling and elaborating traumatic experience. Sharing in a group, game play, support, compassion and openness to all forms of expression, creates the opportunity for a new way of living in which the traumatic experience gradually becomes an integrated part of the life plan, the inhibiting mechanism turning into the fact of life with which it is possible and worth living on.
Human being is social and social resources are basis for human existence – in a moment of crisis they become basis for support, intervention and positive change of life position.
Group work, workshops, games, art activities, creative play are tools to psychological support.
Exchange with activists from other fields was valuable and interesting.
Future goals: development of human community; support to silent voices; creation of tolerant, open, transparent environment for learning and change.
Media are much more interested in profit than in the service of truth and human community development.

Ukraine Must Investigate Joe Biden's Son, Says Ex-Ukrainian PM
HomeWorldUkraine Must Investigate Joe Biden's Son, Says Ex-Ukrainian PM
A spokesperson for Joe Biden's campaign declined to comment on Mykola Azarov's investigation call
WorldReutersUpdated: September 29, 2019 6:33 am IST
Parts of the transcript from Donald Trump's call with Volodymyr Zelenskiy
MOSCOW/KIEV:
Ukraine must investigate the activities of U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden's son to establish whether his role in a Ukrainian gas company complied with the country's laws, Mykola Azarov, Ukraine's former prime minister, said in an interview.
Azarov did not specify to which Ukrainian laws he was referring.
Hunter Biden's role in the company, Burisma Holdings Limited, is in focus after the White House published a memo showing U.S. President Donald Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in a July phone call to get prosecutors to look into his activities. Zelenskiy agreed.
"It's a fact (his directorship and fees) and not made up. It should be investigated so that the 'i's can be dotted and the 't's crossed," Azarov told Reuters.
A spokesperson for Joe Biden's campaign declined to comment on Azarov's investigation call and none of Hunter Biden's critics have provided any evidence that he broke Ukrainian law.
Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau said on Friday it was investigating activity at Burisma between 2010-2012, but that it was not looking into changes to its board in 2014, when Hunter Biden joined.
Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are pursuing an impeachment inquiry against Trump, a Republican, after a whistleblower complained about his call with Zelenskiy. Lawmakers are looking into whether Trump's actions jeopardised national security and the integrity of U.S. elections, saying he appeared to be soliciting a political favour from a foreign leader to get re-elected.
Azarov lives in Moscow, but says he remains well-connected with parts of Ukraine's political establishment and would like to return one day. He did not provide further details.
Hunter Biden was a director on Burisma's board from 2014 until at least 2018, according to documents filed by the company in Cyprus, where it is registered.
Azarov, who was prime minister from 2010-2014, is himself wanted by Ukrainian authorities for alleged abuse of power. An Interpol red notice issued in 2015 at the request of Ukrainian authorities said he was wanted on accusations of charges including embezzlement and misappropriation.
Azarov denies any wrongdoing and Reuters cannot determine whether there is any active investigation on him.
Azarov said he was not aware of any evidence suggesting wrongdoing on Hunter Biden's part, but said it was in the Ukrainian public interest to ascertain the legality of his activities.
In particular, he said it was important to investigate what Biden had done for Burisma to justify his fee.
The younger Biden has said he consulted for Burisma, but critics have suggested he was not doing actual work in return for his compensation, an allegation he denies.
"I think it's essential (he's investigated)," Azarov told Reuters in Moscow, where Azarov fled after street protests toppled Russia-friendly President Viktor Yanukovich in 2014.
"If, using his knowledge, he played an active role then there's nothing scandalous about it," Azarov said. "But if he was simply on the books and getting money, then that could be seen as a violation of the law."
Burisma was not available for comment on Saturday night.
Ukrainian prosecutors have said they are not investigating Hunter Biden, but are looking into the legality of Burisma's activities before Biden joined its board.
Azarov said he thought it was "absolute nonsense", but that he believed allegations from Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others that Joe Biden had got Ukraine's prosecutor general fired to protect his son Hunter must also be investigated.
The former U.S. vice president has denied using his influence to get Ukraine's prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, fired in 2016 to prevent him investigating his son's involvement and has said he and his son have done nothing wrong.

Background: The Ulcerative Colitis (UC) Narrative is a global patient and physician survey aimed at identifying the impact of UC and comparing and contrasting perceptions of UC burden and management approaches.
Methods: Surveys of patients with UC (self-reported diagnosis; n = 2100) and physicians (n = 1254) were completed across 10 countries by The Harris Poll between August 2017 and February 2018. Questionnaires covered multiple aspects of UC, including diagnosis, treatment, and impact on patient quality of life, in addition to standard demographic information. Descriptive statistics are reported.
Results: The majority of patients (82%) had moderate to severe UC (based on medication history; those who had only ever taken 5-aminosalicylates were excluded); 67% described their UC as controlled with few to no symptoms. On average, patients experienced 4.3 flares (standard deviation, 7.4) in the past year. Diagnostic delay was on average 2.0 years (standard deviation, 5.4); 42% of patients waited ≥1 year. Most patients (65%) felt that UC controlled their life rather than them controlling their disease. Because of the fear of repercussions, many patients had not disclosed their UC to their employer. Discussion of the emotional impact of UC during routine appointments was less of a priority for physicians, compared with patients.
Conclusions: The data from this global survey highlight that patients with UC experience diagnostic delay, poor disease control, and adverse impact on their quality of life. Patients report UC to be a mentally exhausting condition; however, emotional and mental health issues are infrequently discussed at routine appointments.


Please design a future backpack blower that can be configured for left hand use. I realize that we are a minority but it is really disappointing that I can't add the backpack blower to my EGo tools. Maybe the support arm could be designed on a locking swivel so that it could easily and quickly change between left and right hand use. Two of the three people in my household that do the yard work are lefties so it would be much appreciated by us. BTW, were are real customers that would actually buy one...we already own the mower, trimmer, chainsaw, hedge trimmer, and hand held blower.
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Can the back pack blower be configured for left handed use?.
I'm right handed and even I was surprised that the trimmer attachment for the new multi-tool was designed more or less for righties. I agree they need to be more ambidextrous.
My oldest son has cerebral palsy and has very little use of his right arm. His passion is yard care and I was sad and surprised that I could not find a back pack blower that would work for him.

Horror review: Saw IV
December 13, 2013 · by the newt	· in scary movies.	·
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON STRAIGHT.COM, OCT. 31, 2007
In Saw III, the murdering genius known as Jigsaw finally got his comeuppance. He was a dead human, with no possibility of a Michael Myers- or Jason Voorhees-style resurrection. But since when has a little thing like death stopped a horror franchise from cashing in?
Jigsaw is back–or at least his dead body is–and, boy, do his innards steal the show. As the flick opens, we see the chilled remains of Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) lying naked on a mortuary slab, soon to be the subject of a full-blown autopsy. Morgue attendants start by peeling the Jigster's face back, sawing open his skull, prying it apart, and extracting his bulbous brain–all in gruesomely realistic fashion.
Then it's time to slice open his chest, peel back his ribs (love those sound effects), and remove whatever's there. "Let's see what's in his stomach," one of the dissectors suggests before piercing the gelatinous pouch with a scalpel and revealing what appears to be a small bar of soap. Turns out it's a protective case for a microcassette, which an FBI agent immediately inserts into a handy tape deck.
"It's not over," intones the raspy voice of Jigsaw, threatening mayhem from the grave, but discriminating horror fans will wish it was.
The Saw franchise lost its potency after Saw II, which–with its intense action and over-the-top wickedness–was quite a hoot, and a serious improvement over the original, which sported subpar acting by Cary Elwes and Danny Glover's cookie-cutter characterization of a troubled cop. Saw III –which featured Jigsaw's unlikely apprentice, Amanda (Shawnee Smith)–was a failure, and its follow-up is the same.
The focus this time is on SWAT–team member Rigg (Lyriq Bent), who gets run through the wringer, physically and psychologically, by one of Jigsaw's most preposterous revenge schemes. Most of the convoluted plot is tied together with flashbacks from previous Saws and a back story involving Jigsaw's pre-psycho days as a heckuva nice guy. There's the obligatory twist at the end, which hardly makes up for the excruciating boredom viewers are forced to endure.
But, hey, if you're paying for torture, expect to suffer.

Two high-resolution structures of the human E3 ubiquitin ligase Siah1
V. Rimsa, T. C. Eadsforth, W. N. Hunter
Siah1 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that contributes to proteasome-mediated degradation of multiple targets in key cellular processes and which shows promise as a therapeutic target in oncology. Structures of a truncated Siah1 bound to peptide-based inhibitors have been reported. Here, new crystallization conditions have allowed the determination of a construct encompassing dual zinc-finger subdomains and substrate-binding domains at significantly higher resolution. Although the crystals appear isomorphous, two structures present distinct states in which the spatial orientation of one zinc-finger subdomain differs with respect to the rest of the dimeric protein. Such a difference, which is indicative of conformational freedom, infers potential biological relevance related to recognition of binding partners. The crystallization conditions and improved models of Siah1 may aid future studies investigating Siah1-ligand complexes.

Ever since I was 17 I've had a thing for cameras. I've got quite a collection; A few 35mm film cameras, two 6x7s, a 6×4.5, Holga, Lomo, a twin lens, and my stable of digital equipment. But there's one very small camera that I never leave home without, my iPhone. The few times that I've misplaced or lost my phone, my biggest fear is that I'll miss the chance to photograph some interesting person or moment. There's always some element that draws me in to take a picture. It may take 100 frames until the right elements align or as I put it, the magic happens. I've found that strapped with my iPhone, headphones, and maybe even a cup of coffee to sip on, I can really become inconspicuous.
Up until this point my iPhone photos have been like a coveted collection of miniatures in my Instagram gallery. This New Year, as a gift to myself, I worked long and hard to cull my favorites out of the thousands of photos I've taken with this camera over the last two years. It's been a long time coming.

1. Globaloney: Globalism Wrecks Nations and It Must Stop
Globalism (here meaning the practice of a country, or countries, acting internationally instead of locally or regionally [i.e., acting politically, militarily or economically]) is very harmful to the world's unique cultures. Indeed, it ruins the world's cultures. Slowly but surely, globalism will make the world into a single, giant culture (which some people have called "Brown Man"). Globalism is a necessary part of the New World Order agenda, for how can you remake the world by acting locally or regionally? (In fact, without globalism, there cannot be a New World Order).
The world's cultures have traditions, values and folkways that date back centuries. But with globalism, those traditions, values and folkways are curtailed, stunted or wiped out altogether.
Globalism is unnatural. It's not normal for country "x" to meddle in the affairs of other countries half-way around the world. It's freaky and it's just plain wrong – even George Washington said so [1]. Globalism contaminates all societies like a foreign virus. It alters and changes those societies, and never for the better.
The world must return to what is frequently – but wrongly – called "isolationism." That doesn't mean that the world's countries cannot talk to each other or trade with each other, but the talking and the trading should be very limited. Each country in the world must be sovereign and autonomous, and each country in the world must be in complete control of its own culture and its own affairs (contrast that idea to neoconservatism, which seeks to use America to remake the world, sovereignty and autonomy be damned. By the way, my Political Science teacher, a former mayor, taught me that every country in the world has "natural sovereignty").
Of course, who are the kings of globalism? The Jews. Henry Ford correctly named his book "The International Jew."

FBI AND BJS AWARDED $11.8 MILLION IN FY 2017 TO BOOST INCIDENT-BASED CRIME REPORTING
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BUREAU OF JUSTICE STATISTICS
MARCH 20, 2018, 10 A.M. EDT CONTACT: KARA MCCARTHY
WWW.BJS.GOV PHONE: 202-598-9320, kara.mccarthy@usdoj.gov
FBI AND BJS AWARDED $11.8 MILLION IN
FY 2017 TO BOOST INCIDENT-BASED CRIME REPORTING
Funding was provided through the 2017 National Crime Statistics Exchange initiative
WASHINGTON — U.S. law enforcement agencies recently received a total of $11.8 million in fiscal year 2017 grants through the National Crime Statistics Exchange initiative (NCS-X), the Bureau of Justice Statistics announced today. NCS-X is administered by BJS in partnership with the FBI. Six states were awarded a total of $6.4 million to establish or enhance their National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) program, a more detailed method of collecting and reporting crime statistics, and 15 law enforcement agencies were awarded a total of $5.4 million to support their switch to NIBRS.
The NCS-X promotes the FBI's NIBRS program, which compiles detailed, incident-based crime data from participating U.S. law enforcement agencies. These data include offender and victim demographics, victim-offender relationships, incident location and the presence or absence of a weapon during commission of the offense. Stakeholders can use this valuable analytical information to inform funding requests, resource allocations and policies.
"The FBI's and BJS's support of state and local law enforcement agencies over the past three years underscores our commitment to implementing NCS-X and expanding NIBRS," said BJS Director Jeffrey H. Anderson. "This will help facilitate the important work being done by our state and local partners to modernize their crime data."
BJS determined that national estimates of the volume and characteristics of crimes known to law enforcement can be produced by adding a scientifically selected sample of 400 law enforcement agencies to the current NIBRS reporting agencies. BJS and the FBI have been working with states to expand NIBRS coverage to include these 400 selected agencies.
The 15 law enforcement agencies that received support to transition to NIBRS were—
Alameda County Sheriff's Office (CA), $1,249,311
Baltimore County Police Department (MD), $970,880
Buffalo Police Department (NY), $323,024
Cody Police Department (WY), $60,000
Dallas Police Department (TX), $131,000
DeKalb County Police Department (GA), $481,692
Evanston Police Department (WY), $165,466
Fort Wayne Police Department (IN), $120,335
Goshen City Police Department (IN), $284,752
Marceline Police Department (MO), $46,247
Pima County Sheriff's Department (AZ), $688,762
Rockland Police Department (ME), $259,631
Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office (ME), $120,673
Springfield Police Department (MO), $411,772
Travis County Sheriff's Office (TX), $59,660
The FBI has committed to transitioning to a NIBRS-only data collection by January 2021. As more local law enforcement agencies transition to NIBRS reporting, state Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) programs responsible for gathering crime data from local law enforcement agencies will need to be capable of receiving, processing and sending additional local incident-based crime data to the FBI.
NCS-X helps to develop or enhance these state pipelines for national crime-data reporting.
The six state agencies that received awards to enhance their technical capabilities to receive NIBRS data and to support local law enforcement agencies within the state to transition to NIBRS included—
Alaska Department of Public Safety, $1,198,036
Arizona Department of Public Safety, $774,000
Nevada Department of Public Safety, $3,409,064
New Mexico Department of Public Safety, $330,789
Wisconsin Department of Justice, $655,476
Wyoming Bureau of Criminal Investigation, $38,640
This was the third year that the NCS-X initiative provided funding to support the switch to NIBRS reporting. In fiscal year 2015, a total of $7.4 million was awarded to 14 state UCR programs. In FY 2016, approximately $24.7 million was distributed to 16 local law enforcement agencies and 10 state UCR programs. BJS is developing a funding opportunity for law enforcement agencies to receive grants in FY 2018 from the NCS-X initiative.

Navy leadership testifies before SASC on ship collisions, readiness concerns
"It is very hard to understand how these sophisticated warships let a ship get in that close," Navy Chief of Operations Adm. John Richardson told the Senate Armed Services Committee at a hearing on Tuesday.

Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Senior leaders from the U.S. Navy told a U.S. Senate committee on Tuesday that it is "very hard to understand" how two Navy destroyers collided with civilian ships, but chalked up the issues to gaps in readiness and leadership.
Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer, Navy Chief of Operations Adm. John Richardson and Government Accountability Office official John Pendleton testified Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee, answering questions about the recent collisions, as well as larger issues of readiness that have been blamed for the incidents, suggesting the branch is stretched too thin.
"The lives of the 17 sailors lost in the McCain and Fitzgerald collisions are priceless, and I mourn their loss," Senate Armed Services Committee chairman Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said in his opening statement.
"Fatal training accidents have taken four times the lives of our service members than our enemies have in combat. This cannot continue," McCain said.
RELATED More officers relieved of duty following deadly U.S. Navy collisions
Spencer, Richardson and Pendleton all testified that the Navy is suffering from budget and readiness woes. All three said that too much is being asked of the Navy as a whole, particularly forward-deployed ships like the 7th Fleet in the Western Pacific.
Richardson said that although budgetary and operational problems may have contributed to the training and readiness issues facing the Navy, leadership problems were the primary cause of the accidents.
"I've testified several times about the triple-whammy -- the corrosive confluence of high operational tempos, inadequate budgets and budget uncertainty," Richardson said.
RELATED Navy leaders testify before Congress on McCain, Fitzgerald collisions
"Make no mistake sir, though these factors may exert a negative force on the challenges we face, at the core of this issue is about leadership. Especially command," Richardson said.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., questioned why the Navy had agreed with GAO warnings over training deficiencies in a 2015 report yet taken no action for two years, with Richardson saying there was "nothing defensible" he could say to explain the hold-up.
Though the theme of the hearing was primarily over how a lack of money, ships and basic training standards are harming Navy readiness, some questioned how sophisticated destroyers like the McCain and Fitzgerald could be involved in collisions with civilian vessels.
RELATED Navy to issue order for heavy lift of the USS John S. McCain
"How in the world does a billion dollar destroyer not know there is a freighter is closing in on it," Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, asked Richardson. He questioned how the ship's radar systems failed to warn the destroyers of an impending collision. "I've talked to Maine lobstermen who were scratching their heads, they could tell when a flock of seagulls was descending off their bow."
"It is very hard to understand how these sophisticated warships let a ship get in that close," Richardson said.
The SASC hearing followed a similar one by the House Armed Services Committee last week that mixed understand over the Navy's problems with criticism of operational management.
A number of senior officers have been relieved of duty, and others censured, following the accidents, including the heads of the 7th Fleet and Task Force 70.
The Fitzgerald collided with a Philippine-flagged cargo vessel off Japan on June 17, killing seven sailors and injuring three others, including the ship's commander. The commander and other leadership on the Fitzgerald were later relieved of duty.
The McCain collided with a Liberian-flagged container ship east of the Straits of Malacca near Singapore on Aug. 25, killing 10 sailors, just two months after the Fitzgerald incident.
The two fatal accidents followed two other incidents involving Japan-based surface warfare vessels earlier this year. In May, the guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Champlain was struck by a South Korean fishing boat, and in January, the cruiser USS Lake Antietam ran aground while trying to anchor near Japan, leading to serious damage to its propellers.
