RIP Ayrton Senna
I was two years old when Ayrton Senna died. When i grew up and i started having interested in the F1 sport, i started reading about AS. And he became My favourite Driver. I searched in the web for a tribute to his life and i want to present it to you.
Ayrton Senna da Silva was a Brazilian racing driver and triple Formula One world champion. He remains the last Grand Prix driver killed while driving a Formula One car.
A kart racer from an early age, Senna won the British Formula 3 championship in 1983 and made his Formula One debut with Toleman the next year. He moved to Lotus-Renault in 1985, and won six Grands Prix over the next three seasons.
In 1988 he joined Frenchman Alain Prost at McLaren-Honda, the top driver and team at the time, and won that year's Formula One World Championship. He and Prost developed a heated rivalry, which is regarded as the bitterest in F1 history. Senna won the championship twice more, in 1990 and 1991. In the next two years with McLaren, despite driving an inferior car, Senna won races and challenged for the 1993 world title, finishing runner-up to Prost. He switched to the then dominant Williams Renault team for the 1994 Formula One season.
At the third race of the year millions of fans witnessed his fatal crash live on global TV coverage during the San Marino Grand Prix at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.
Also notable was the unique duality of his character. Senna's competitive nature on the track was in stark contrast to his humane and compassionate exploits off it. A deeply religious man, he reportedly donated the bulk of his fortune to create the "Ayrton Senna Foundation", with the aim of helping poor and needy young people in Brazil and around the world. Eventually becoming concerned with the potential dangers of his sport, he helped to push for the organization of a driver safety group shortly before his final race.
Senna was born in São Paulo. At school he excelled in gymnastics, art and chemistry but found mathematics, physics and English difficult. The son of a wealthy Brazilian landowner, he developed an interest in motor racing at an early age. Senna entered karting competition at the age of 13. In 1977, he won the South American Kart Championship. He later finished runner up in the World Championship on several occasions – but never won. In 1981 he began competing in Europe, winning the British Formula Ford 1600 championship. He was champion in British and European Formula Ford 2000 the following year.
He also adopted his mother's maiden name, Senna, as da Silva is a very common name in Brazil. In 1983, Senna won the British F3 championship after a closely fought and at times controversial battle with Martin Brundle. He also triumphed in the prestigious Macau Grand Prix with Teddy Yip's Theodore Racing Team which was closely related to the West Surrey Racing team he drove for in British F3.
For 1994, Senna finally signed with the Williams-Renault team. Prost's contract clause forbidding Senna from joining Williams did not extend to 1994 and Prost retired with one year left on his contract, rather than face the prospect of being a teammate of his greatest rival.
Williams had won the previous two World Championships with vastly superior cars, and Senna was a natural and presumptive pre-season title favorite, with second-year driver Damon Hill intended to play the supporting role. Between them, Prost, Senna, and Hill had won all but one race in 1993. Benetton's Michael Schumacher had won the remaining event. Pre-season testing showed that the Williams car had speed, but it was difficult to drive.
The FIA had banned electronic driver aids, such as active suspension, traction control and ABS, to make the sport more "human". The Williams was not a well-handling car at the start of 1994, as observed by other F1 drivers, having been seen to be very loose at the rear. Senna himself had made numerous (politically careful) comments that the Williams FW16 had some quirks which needed to be ironed out. It was obvious that the FW16, after the regulation changes banning active suspension and traction control, exhibited none of the superiority of the FW15C and FW14B cars that had preceded it.
The surprise of testing was the Benetton team, whose car was more nimble than the Williams although less powerful. The first race of the season was in Brazil, where Senna took pole. In the race Senna took an early lead but Schumacher's Benetton was never far behind. Schumacher took the race lead for good after passing Senna in the pits. Senna refused to settle for second.
While trying for a win, he pushed too hard and spun the car, stalling it and retiring from the race. The second race was the Pacific Grand Prix at Aida where Senna again placed the car on pole. However, he was hit from behind in the first corner by Mika Häkkinen and his race came to a definitive end when a Ferrari driven by Nicola Larini also crashed into his Williams. Hill finished second while Schumacher took victory again.
It was Senna's worst start to an F1 season, failing to finish or score points in the first two races, despite taking pole both times. Schumacher was leading Senna in the drivers' championship by twenty points. Luca Di Montezemolo is quoted saying that Senna came to him the Tuesday before the Imola race and praised Ferrari for the battle against electronics in F1. Senna also told Montezemolo that he would like to end his career with Ferrari.
At the third race of the season, the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola, Senna declared that this was where his season would start, with fourteen races, as opposed to sixteen, in which to win the title. Senna again placed the car on pole, but he was particularly upset by two events. On Friday, during the afternoon qualifying session, Senna's protégé, the then F1 newcomer Rubens Barrichello, was involved in a serious accident that prevented him from competing in the race. The next day, Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger was killed in a practice accident.
Senna spent his final morning meeting fellow drivers, determined after Ratzenberger's accident to take on a new responsibility to re-create a Drivers' Safety group to increase safety in Formula One. As the most senior driver, he offered to take the role of leader in this effort.
Senna and the other drivers all opted to start the Grand Prix, but the race was interrupted by a huge accident at the start line. A safety car was deployed and the drivers followed it for several laps. On the restart Senna immediately set a quick pace with the third quickest lap of the race, followed by Schumacher. As Senna entered the high-speed Tamburello corner on the next lap, the car left the track at high speed, hitting the concrete retaining wall at around 135 mph.
Senna was removed from the car by Sid Watkins and his medical team and treated by the side of the car before being airlifted to Bologna hospital where Senna was later declared dead. What had likely happened was that the right front wheel had shot up after impact like a catapult and violated the cockpit area where Senna was sitting. It impacted the right frontal area of his helmet, and the violence of the wheel's impact pushed his head back against the headrest, causing fatal skull fractures.
A piece of upright attached to the wheel had partially penetrated his helmet and made a big indent in his forehead. In addition, it appeared that a jagged piece of the upright assembly had penetrated the helmet visor just above his right eye. Any one of the three injuries would probably have killed him. As track officials examined the wreckage of his racing car they found a furled Austrian flag — a victory flag that he was going to raise in honour of Austrian Roland Ratzenberger, who had died on that track the day before. To this day, the cause of the accident has still not been fully determined after many court cases, including Williams being investigated for manslaughter though the charges were later dropped.
*In my oppinion and many others Ayrton Senna had been killed by a natural theory.
Geforces Killed him. I dont agree with the fact that the suspension hit him. AS was dead before hitting the wall.

www.place.la
Founded 6 years ago, the warehouse turned design studio at the corner of NW 18th and Johnson in Portland, OR represents a philosophy of open design collaboration and creative placemaking. A passerby may notice crumpled trace, clay models, computers, and a giant green shop door. Peak a little closer and one will discover PLACE—a team of design professionals doing what they love. Visitors should be prepared to roll up their sleeves, engage in PLACE's creative process, and experience a taste of what drives us towards design excellence.
From simple sketches and 3D renderings to 1:1 scale sculptured models, PLACE explores a spectrum of visual communication strategies during the design process. Using the in-house workshop, designers are able to produce full-scale mock-ups to test physical representations of the final design to study and communicate ideas with clients, committees, and the public. Representative projects include NIKE's World Headquarters, Edith Green Wendell Wyatt Federal Building, University of Oregon Hatfield-Dowlin Complex, and Swarovski Crystal World Museum in Austria.
PLACE's team of 30 designers is ethnically diverse and intuitively sensitive to the social fabric of emerging communities. Multidisciplinary approach and cultural fluency inform PLACE designers' creative processes and are reflected in their work worldwide. In 2014, PLACE hosted over 20 Japanese delegations and led an international trade mission from Portland to Japan in an interactive community workshop in Tokyo with the Portland Development Commission's We Build Green Cities program. PLACE continues to travel to various cities throughout Japan with Portland Development Commission, exchanging ideas and working to solve the next generation of building and urban growth challenges. PLACE is committed to inspiring landscape architecture, planning, art, and urban design around the world.
PLACE embraces practices that give back to the planet and benefit the global community. Using nature as inspiration, PLACE designs high-quality built-environments realized with less consumption of natural resources. PLACE recently assisted with the final design of a Natural Organic Recycling Machine (NORM) for Hassalo on Eighth, a new building development with over one million sq. ft. of new construction near Downtown Portland. The system works like a wetland, using tidal, wetland cells and other natural processes to clean and treat effluent. The NORM treats all of the buildings' waste and recycles grey water, on-site, to reuse for flushing toilets, irrigating landscape, and cooling towers for each of the buildings.
PLACE sponsors company-wide civic activities, including neighborhood tree planting and revitalization projects for low-income families. For the last three years, PLACE has joined Parke Diem, a non-profit, citywide campaign to launch Portland's largest ever park-supporting event. PLACE strongly believes that children and adults of all abilities should be able to play and learn together. With $100,000 in-kind assistance from Schematic Design through Construction Administration and As-Builts, marketing, and fundraising, PLACE ensured that Harper's Playground successfully became the first universal playground in Portland. PLACE again completed pro-bono services related to the design and coordination of the universal access playground for Gateway Discovery Park & Plaza to be completed next Fall. PLACE prioritizes giving back to the community.
Edith Green Wendell Wyatt Federal Building, General Services Administration, Portland, OR
Pivotal to Portland's core of government and civic institutions, the Edith Green Wendell Wyatt (EGWW) Federal Building was modernized inside and out. The transformation was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and led by the General Services Administration (GSA). The reconstruction effort peeled away the layers of an existing structure, site, and landscape to provide a contemporary image for the prominent government building. A significant portion of the renovation included the complete redevelopment of the project's urban site, streetscape, and rooftop. Envisioned as a downtown green infrastructure hub, the site represents a living organism. A thriving native and naturalized landscape surrounds the building and engages the public, flowing from curb's edge, across the site and in places, up the face of the building. Shade structures designed to reduce thermal loads on the west and south building elevations provide a framework for a tapestry of vines bringing further shading and an added diversity of life and natural habitat. Elemental to the site design, sustainable measures create highly efficient vertical and horizontal landscapes. Stormwater is collected from the roof's photovoltaic array and all the site's surfaces then stored in a 170k gallon cistern used for toilet flushing, irrigation, and fire suppression. Conceived as a lush, robust landscape, the plantings are a physical representation of the site's location embodying the Northwest spirit.
NIKE World Headquarters, NIKE, Beaverton, OR
The NIKE campus first opened in 1990 and has undergone three waves of construction, doubling its size. Nike's latest expansion will add 3.2 million square feet of office, mixed-use and parking facilities. The landscape and new structures support the original campus master plan and join the campus with open green spaces, paths, sports courts and fields, providing for fluid future growth. As the landscape architect for the latest NIKE expansion, PLACE has provided a continuity between the buildings and landscape, integrating several sustainable features as Nike aims for LEED Platinum Certification. The landscape design engages the buildings, an indication of the collaborative teamwork and creativity found at PLACE's studio during bimonthly meetings with NIKE, the architects, and construction team.
Prairie Line Trail, Tacoma, WA
With a bold design embracing the pioneer spirit of the region, the Prairie Line Trail (PLT) showcases the past through a rich vernacular of rail spurs and loading docks while simultaneously looking forward to a culture of pedestrian activity and bike commuting. The 80-foot railroad right-of-way is a layered path weaving historic artifacts, innovative stormwater management and interconnected transportation pathways. Honoring the historical nature and distinct culture of the region, the PLT aspires to redefine Tacoma's downtown character while prioritizing the urban potential of the corridor and uniting adjacent cultural institutions; linking transportation; and taking advantage of the vibrant activity within a growing community. The UW Tacoma Station is the first built segment of the 1.2 mile trail and establishes the fundamental elements necessary to create a multi-modal urban corridor while providing a functional open space in the central city. The PLT will play a pivotal role connecting the regional recreation and mobility network of Tacoma. A progressive approach to stormwater management is one of the highlights of the PLT environmental design strategy. The UWT segment collects 42 acres of urban runoff, harvesting stormwater from city streets, naturally treating it through the rail corridor landscape and returning it, clean, to the Puget Sound. As the first phase of the project has been completed, it is already seen as a model of successful social, economic, and environmental stewardship.

Nobel laureate: Face up to climate change, no escaping Earth
by: JIM HEINTZ and DAVID KEYTON, Associated Press
Posted: Dec 7, 2019 / 09:17 AM MST / Updated: Dec 7, 2019 / 09:34 AM MST
Nobel Physics Laureate Didier Queloz speaks during a press conference at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden Saturday, Dec. 7, 2019. (Jonas Ekstromer /TT News Agency via AP)
STOCKHOLM (AP) — An astronomer who shares this year's Nobel physics prize for discovering a planet outside the Earth's solar system is taking issue with people who shrug off climate change on the grounds that humans will eventually leave for distant planets.
Didier Queloz was one of several Nobel laureates who spoke about climate change at a news conference Saturday in Stockholm.
"I think this is just irresponsible, because the stars are so far away I think we should not have any serious hope to escape the Earth," Queloz said.
"Also keep in mind that we are a species that has evolved and developed for this planet. We're not built to survive on any other planet than this one," he said. "We'd better spend our time and energy trying to fix it."
Several other Nobel winners also urged that climate change be taken seriously. The remarks came as a two-week global summit on climate change is taking place in Madrid.
Esther Duflo, one of the Nobel economics laureates, cautioned that dealing with climate change "will require a change in behavior, particularly in the rich countries" that are heavy consumers of goods and energy.
She disagreed with those who believe there is no need to consume less as long as that consumption is fueled by renewable energy.
"It would be great if that were the case but I don't think we can count on it necessarily," Duflo said.
M. Stanley Whittingham, who shared this year's Nobel chemistry award for helping to develop lithium-ion batteries, said "to help solve the climate issue, the time is right now, but we have to be pragmatic. … We can't just turn off all the CO2."
Canadian-American James Peebles, who won half of this year's 9-million-kronor ($948,000) Nobel physics prize for studying what happened soon after the Big Bang, later told The Associated Press that he is excited about the current wave of youthful climate change protesters.
"I see these people in Princeton, my hometown, as they go marching for control of climate. It is a wonderful thing. I love their enthusiasm, their energy, their devotion to something very worthwhile," he said.
Whittingham also told the AP that he believed the climate protests would produce results.
"Maybe some of the young folks don't realize how long it takes. But I go back to the Vietnam War era and the United States, where it was really the young people that pushed the politicians to get out and stop that nonsense," he said.
The Nobel prizes in physics, chemistry, medicine, economic and literature are being presented Tuesday in the Swedish capital.
Heintz reported from Moscow.

Study finds new carbon fiber blades could lead to benefits in wind industry
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) - Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories led a study showing that if developed commercially, a new carbon fiber material could bring cost and performance benefits to the wind industry. According to Sandia, wind blades that contain carbon fiber weigh 25% less than those made from traditional fiberglass materials which means they could be longer, capturing more energy in areas that have low wind.
Switching to carbon fiber could also extend blade lifetime as carbon fiber materials have a high fatigue resistance according to wind energy researcher Brandon Ennis with Sandia National Labs. The Department of Energy's Wind Energy Technologies Office in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is funding the project and partners include Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Montana State University.

- The Lead: After being down early in the first quarter, Assumption gained momentum and held on by three at half. The Hounds came out in the second half and took over the game to win 67-51.
- Franklin Pierce jumped out to a 7-2 lead, before Meghan Cramb (New Boston, N.H./Bishop Guertin) ended the run with a pair of free throws. Four more from the Hounds gave them an 8-7 lead with 2:32 left in the period. The team's traded baskets over the next minute, though Caterina Fonseca (Enfield, Conn./Enfield High School) and Jordan Hawkins (Glen Burnie, Md./Glen Burnie) scored in the last 70 seconds for a 14-11 lead at the end of the first.
- Assumption scored the first six points of the second for a 20-11 advantage. The Ravens answered with a 10-2 run to pull the gap to just one, 22-21, with 3:36 remaining. Cramb connected on a triple to push the lead to four, but the Hounds couldn't extend their lead anymore and went into the half with a 29-26 advantage.
- In the third, Franklin Pierce cut it to 31-30 before Morgan O'Donnell (Easton, Mass./Ursuline Academy) muscled home a layup for the three-point lead. That basket jumpstarted a 10-2 run to stretch the Assumption lead to 41-32 at 3:41, forcing a Raven timeout. Franklin Pierce cut it to six in the final two minutes, but Cramb drained a corner three at the end of the third for a 46-36 lead.
- The Hounds scored first eight points of the fourth to extend their lead to 54-36 on an O'Donnell layup at 7:22. Two minutes later another corner triple from Cramb stretched it to 59-39 in favor of Assumption. Franklin Pierce wasn't able to get any closer than 14 points the rest of the way as the Hounds finished with the 16-point victory.
- Assumption was led by Cramb with 18 points followed by O'Donnell with 14 points and six rebounds. Hawkins earned 12 points and seven rebounds while Brianna Capacchione (Washington Township, N.J./Washington Township) put in 11 points.
- Franklin Pierce was led by Lisa Sulejmani with 18 points while Sophia Holmes contributed 16 points and six rebounds. Izzy Lipinski earned 11 points and led the team with seven rebounds.
- The Hounds shot 50.0 percent from the floor, 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 100.0 percent at the free throw line while earning 29 rebounds, 17 assists and eight steals. The Ravens shot 46.5 percent from the field, 38.5 percent from three and 60.0 percent from the foul line and collected 22 rebounds, 12 assists and five steals.
- The Hounds are back home on Saturday, February 23, for their senior game at 1:30 p.m. against Stonehill.

Stories, the first in the series and Masayoshis debut under his own name, will be re-issued by Erased Tapes on July 27th. Stories saw Masayoshi bring this relatively new invention in the history of instruments often kept in the background in orchestras and jazz outfits into the spotlight. Having trained as a drummer, Masayoshi experimented with the vibraphone using the cello bow to play it, such as in Fog, or the other end of the mallet like on Book of Life the title track of his new album. Focusing on the vibraphone in this way sets Masayoshi apart, dedicating his artistic life to celebrating this fascinating and often under appreciated instrument and making his take on ambient and modern compositional styles a unique one.

It's hard to believe we have been in business for over 40 years. Bernie and Jean Luttmer started the business in Pickering at a cottage at 590 Liverpool Road in Pickering and started helping people launch their boats on the dirt ramp on the property. A few years later, they started a Sailing School and Club, and the rest just seemed to fall into place.
In 1976, the "Luttmers" abandoned their "real careers and went into the boat business full time" (Canadian Yachting Sept 12, 2017). After many years of commitment, Bernie and Jean have decided to hand the reigns over to Jan Ploeger on October 1st 2017, who is the new Owner of Swans Yacht Sales. Not only has Bernie and Jean known Jan his whole life, but Jan is also a very experienced and knowledgeable industry person, and has been in the boating industry since he was a little boy.
We would like to thank Bernie and Jean for their unlimited support and to all of you who have worked with us through this transition.
Swans has added to the team to serve everyone more efficiently and we are committed to provide nothing but excellence in our service to our customers on a daily basis. We have a great team here, and we are proud to continue with the Swans Yacht Sales legacy.


10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speak-est thou not unto me? know-est thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release Thee? 11 Jesus answered, thou could-est have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
I Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God.
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.19 For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

Åsa Larsson är en svensk journalist. Hon är känd för att år 2014 tillsammans med Jack Verner och Linnea Jonjons fått utmärkelsen Stora Journalistpriset, kategori "Årets förnyare" för arbetet med tidningen Metros Viralgranskaren.

Biografi
Larsson har en kandidatexamen i journalistik från 2006 vid Göteborgs Universitet. Hon har mellan 2006 och 2019 arbetat som webreporter och web etitor vid redaktionerna på Göteborgs-Posten, Dagens Nyheter, TT, Sveriges Radio, Svenska Dagbladet och tidningen Metro.

I mars 2014 grundade Larsson samt Linnéa Jonjons och Jack Verner Viralgranskaren, ett projekt i tidningen Metro, för att granska påståenden som sprids på internet. Projektet fick 2014 års Stora Journalistpriset, kategori Årets Förnyare, med motiveringen "För att de skapat en genial metod för att avslöja vad som är myt och vad som är verklighet i den virala världen".

Inför källkritikens dag den 13 mars 2018 släppte Larsson och Linnéa Jonjons boken "Viralgranskarens handbok" som de kallar för en guide för "självförsvar" på nätet. De framhåller att det störst hotet på nätet är vi själva - vanliga människor på nätet - när vi okritiskt underlåter att kolla upp innehållet i det vi delar.

Projektet Viralgranskaren upphörde 2019 i och med nedläggningen av tidningen Metro, men våren 2020 startade hon, åter tillsammans med Jack Verner och Linnéa Jonjons, Källkritikbyrån för att fortsätta granskningen av virala internetspåståenden på liknande sätt som tidigare. De uppmärksammades bland annat för klargöranden om fejkade djurnyheter som spreds i inledningen av coronapandemin våren 2020.

July 4, 1776 ~ South Carolina's Signers of the Declaration
Today we celebrate the birthday of the United States of America as an independent nation.
On July 2, 1776 the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia voted in favor of independence from Great Britain. For 2-days, the assembled representatives debated the final text of a document that laid out the arguments for the divorce. Finally on July 4th after 86 mostly innocuous revisions had been made to the draft, Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence.
56 of the 58 delegates representing the 13 former colonies of British America would sign the final document beginning with John Hancock on August 2nd.
Four South Carolinian's would lend their signature to the document on behalf of the Palmetto State, including the youngest signer of the Declaration.
So who were these signers?
Arthur Middleton (1742-1787)— was chosen to replace his more conservative father in the Continental Congress in 1776, but failed to attend most of the sessions. He was captured by the British after the Fall of Charleston in 1781 and was held captive for over a year in St. Augustine, Florida.
During the time of his incarceration, the British destroyed most of his property. After his release in 1780, Middleton returned to politics and served in the Virginia state legislature and was a trustee of the College of Charleston.
Edward Rutledge (1749-1800) — was the youngest of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was elected to the Continental Congress from 1774-76 and 1779; served as a captain in the Charleston Battalion of Artillery, a state legislator, Elector in several presidential elections, and Governor for South Carolina in 1798.
During the Revolutionary War, Rutledge was a militia captain involved in the campaigns at Port Royal Island and Charleston, South Carolina.
He was captured by the British in 1780 and held as a prisoner until 1781.
Thomas Lynch, Jr. (1749-1779)— was an aristocratic planter who was the youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence to die at the age of thirty.
He was as a lawyer and graduated from Cambridge University in England, and was elected to the Second Continental Congress to carry on the duties of his ill father.
Thomas Lynch Sr. and Thomas Lynch Jr. were the only father and son team to serve concurrently in the Continental Congress. Thomas Lynch, Jr. and his wife were enroute to France in 1779 when their ship was lost at sea.
Thomas Heyward, Jr. (1746-1809)—was a planter and lawyer and was one of three signers from South Carolina captured and imprisoned by the British.
He signed the Articles of Confederation while a member of the Continental Congress. He returned to South Carolina and became a judge and a member of the state legislature.
The British destroyed Heyward's home at White Hall during the war and he was held prisoner until 1781.
After the war, he served two terms in the state legislature from 1782-1784. Thomas Heyward became the first President of the Agricultural Society of South Carolina.
We must never forget the courage and sacrifice made by these brave men of the Palmetto State men who literally put their names on the line to forage a new nation conceived in liberty.
Happy 4th of the July.

Chris Kreider scores again as Rangers beat Flyers for fourth straight win
Chris Kreider #20 of the Rangers celebrates his second period goal against the Philadelphia Flyers at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2021. Credit: Jim McIsaac
By Colin Stephenson colin.stephenson@newsday.com @ColinSNewsday Updated December 1, 2021 11:18 PM
A halt in the schedule wasn't enough to stop the Rangers' momentum Wednesday — not against the struggling Philadelphia Flyers, anyway — as the Blueshirts opened a three-game homestand at Madison Square Garden with a 4-1 victory. They've won four straight, and eight of nine.
The victory was also the sixth straight at home for the Rangers, and lifted their overall record to 14-4-3 (they are two points behind division-leading Washington). The Flyers, who have lost seven straight, fell to 8-9-4.
The win wasn't without drama, though, for the Rangers. They took a 3-0 lead when Chris Kreider scored his team-leading 16th goal just 34 seconds into the second period, and it looked as though the game might be a blowout, until a five-minute major power play gave the Flyers life. The Rangers needed their penalty-killers — and goalie Igor Shesterkin (33 saves) — to come up big in what could have been a pivotal point in the game, and they did.
"We played great until that five-minute major, then we hung on after that,'' Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said. "We weren't the same team [after that]. We lost the momentum. We couldn't get it back. But we did a great job killing the penalty. Didn't give them a whole lot, but Shesty made some great saves on that five-minute major, for sure.''
The Flyers got the power play when Dryden Hunt was sent off after checking Philadelphia's Justin Braun into the glass. He was given a major penalty for charging and a game misconduct at 1:56 of the second period. But Shesterkin made seven saves on the power play, and the Rangers' penalty killers worked hard to frustrate the Flyers and kill the penalty.
"The guys worked really, really well and they blocked a lot of shots, and made a lot of smart moves,'' Shesterkin said, through an interpreter. "Honestly, seven saves in five minutes isn't that much.''
The Flyers did gain momentum after that power play, and ended up outshooting the Rangers 16-5 in the second period. But Morgan Frost's first goal of the season, at 9:37 of the period, was all they could muster. That pulled them to within 3-1, but they got nothing else, and Artemi Panarin's empty-net goal, at 19:16, closed up the scoresheet.
With Sunday's Islanders game having been postponed, it had been four days between games for the Rangers, since their 5-2 win over the Bruins in Boston on Friday. But, facing the reeling Flyers, it didn't seem to have had any kind of negative effect on them, at least not at the start.
Jacob Trouba blasted home a shot from the point on the power play to get the Rangers on the board at 3:41 of the first period. The goal was the first of the season from the Rangers' second power-play unit, which gets a lot less time than the first unit.
Hunt, playing his third game up on the first line, with Panarin and Ryan Strome, scored to make it 2-0 at 9:32.
It was the second straight game with a goal for Hunt, who had spent most of the season on the fourth line before being promoted to play with Panarin and Strome.
The Flyers got a break when Kevin Rooney's apparent tap-in goal with 2:58 left in the first period was disallowed after the linesman ruled that the Rangers were offside entering the zone.
But Kreider made it 3-0 when he banged in a pass from Kaapo Kakko (two assists), after Trouba stole a poor clearing attempt by the Flyers and sent the puck to Mika Zibanejad on the left wing. Zibanejad sent it to Kakko below the right circle and Kakko relayed it to Kreider in the slot for the goal. The assist for Zibanejad was his 300th point as a Ranger.

United Group enters Croatian market with Tele2 acqusition
Written by Stuart Thomson
3rd June 2019 @ 11:57
Serbia-based multi-play operator United Group, which is active across multiple Western Balkans markets, is to acquire Tele2's Croatian business, taking the group into the Croatian market for the first time.
Tele2 said it was selling its Croatian business to United Group for an enterprise value of €220 million. The Swedish group said that the maove would allow it to realise value from the successful development of the Croatian business and to further advance its strategy with a focus on the Baltic Sea region.
Closing is expected before the end of 2019.The deal is subject to regulatory approval by Croatia's competition watchdog.
United Group is currently active in five markets across the Western Balkans. It owns SBB, the leading cable operator in Serbia, as well as cable operators Telemach Slovenia, Telemach Bosina and Herzegovina and Telemach Montenegro. Its Total TV DTH service is available in all four of those countries as well as in Macedonia and also has an international service aimed at expatraites. Another unit, Net TV Plus, provides OTT TV services internationally, aimed at the former-Yugoslav diaspora.
Separately, Tele2 has struck an agreement with owned Baltic mobile operator Bite to create a network sharing joint venture in Latvia and Lithuania. The partnership includes sharing of infrastructure in current networks, spectrum sharing as well as future build-out of 5G.
Bite is owned by Providence Equity Partners, which also controls All Media Baltics, the former Modern Times Group-owned pay TV operation for the Baltic States, now headed by former TVN executive Christian Anting.

Q: Definitive guide to trivlists I create a lot of theorem-like environments, and I'm usually happy to employ a package (such as ntheorem, amsthm, etc) to do the work for me.
After studying the ntheorem documentation, and reading many answers here on TeX exchange, it seems that most theorems, and more interestingly, a lot of the 'standard' environments (such as the center environment, for example) are defined in terms of trivlists
I'm interested in experimenting with my own environments using trivlists, but would like to know all the parameters that can be tweaked- so far I haven't been able to find a definitive guide, hence this question :)
So, can someone provide details of all of the parameters that can be tweaked in order to customize a trivlist?
Here's a MWE that can be played with
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[showframe=true]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\setlength{\parskip}{5mm}

\newenvironment{problem}{%
\begin{trivlist}%
\item[{\bfseries Problem}]%
\item%
}{\end{trivlist}}

\begin{document}

\begin{problem}
    \lipsum[1]
\end{problem}

\end{document}

Interestingly, there's no trivlist tag, so feel free to re-tag as you see appropriate.

A: I cannot say this answer is a definitive guide, but the definitive statement one can make about trivlists are that they are plain vanilla  lists.
\begin{trivlist}
  \item $\varepsilon$-\TeX
  \item[test] a line to test
  \item Ghostscript, version $\ge8.31$
  \item dvipdfmx, version $\ge20080607$ for DVI to PDF conversion
  \item Adobe Reader or another viewer
\end{trivlist}

In simple terms the trivlist environment turns each item into a paragraph and thus it is easier to apply formatting information to a list of paragraphs or items if you want to think of them this way. As it carries common information to all lists, it is used to build up more complicated structures. All LaTeX's lists use parshape to shape the paragraph and the source is not easy to follow.
The definite guide of course is File A: ltlists.dtx in source2e.
A good use of trivlists is to simplify the writing of table heads and produce semantic table environments:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\newenvironment{name}
  {\trivlist\item
   \tabular{@{}ll@{}}}
  {\endtabular\endtrivlist}
\begin{name}
   First    & Mary  \\
   Second   & Jones \\
   Nickname & --- \\
\end{name}
\end{document}

A: Yiannis provided the details of where to find the definitive guide:
texdoc source2e

Section 56 is very detailed, and provides all of the parameters that can be tweaked. I thought I'd provide a small example for future reference- perhaps it will help others creating environments. (I don't claim this answer is the definitive guide, but merely an introductory experiment that may help others.)
Motivation
Firstly though, the reason I am interested in lists and trivlists is to create theorem-like environments. In particular, I wanted to emulate the break style from the ntheorem package, which produces something like

Initially I thought that a trivlist would be appropriate, but referencing @egreg's comment to this answer

This works provided that no list based environment appears within this
  trivlist. \begin{list}{}{\leftmargin=2cm}...\end{list} wouldn't have
  this problem (and is the approach taken by adjustwidth).

So, I then decided to use the list environment instead of the trivlist, and studied the changepage documentation too.
The list environment
The list environment has the form
\begin{list}{<label>}{options}
\item ...
\end{list}

A complete set of options is detailed in source2e, but I'll only go into a few of them here. For my particular application, I don't need a <label>, so this argument will always be empty.

*

*the default settings of the list environment (without any options)
    \begin{list}{}{}
      \item {\bfseries Problem}
      \item \lipsum[1]
    \end{list}

give the following output

*

*note that the list is indented, and the separation between Problem and the next item is not ideal

*we can tweak a few options
  \begin{list}{}{% options
        \setlength{\leftmargin}{0mm}%     leftmargin
        \parsep\parskip%                  space between paragraphs within an item
        \setlength{\itemsep}{-\parsep}%   space between items
   }
   \item {\bfseries Problem}
   \item \lipsum[1]
   \end{list}

*I don't want any space between my items, so I pull them together using -\parsep, and this gives the desired result

Of course, this can be all be done in the pre-amble to make a \newenvironment
\newenvironment{problem}{\begin{list}{}{%
              \setlength{\leftmargin}{0mm}%
              \setlength{\rightmargin}{0mm}%
              \setlength{\topsep}{0mm}%
              \setlength{\partopsep}{0mm}%
              \parsep\parskip%
              \setlength{\itemsep}{-\parsep}%
              }\needspace{\baselineskip}\item {\bfseries Problem}
              \item}{\end{list}}

I've used the needspace package which provides the command \needspace{<space>} to stop page breaks happening between Problem and the body of the environment.

EDIT
Thanks to Philippe Goutet for pointing out that the needspace approach is actually quite flawed; in particular, if the problem environment immediately follows an occurrence of \section{} then it could potentially widow the section heading, and start a new page- very bad! So, he proposed that I copy the definitions of \item and \@item (from ltlists.dtx) into some new commands called \nobreakitem and \@nobreakitem and change the \addpenalty\@itempenalty to \addpenalty\@M.
A complete MWE follows that demonstrates this in action, and in particular, demonstrates that we don't get any lonely orphaned section headings- hoorah!

From its earliest inception, the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) has placed rejection of war as basic to our understanding of God's will. We believe that human beings are capable of solving conflicts through reason, an empathetic understanding of the other's point of view, and the courage to take principled, nonviolent action in the face of injustice.
In this spirit, the Olympia Friends Meeting urges all parties in the current conflict to declare a ceasefire and work toward a negotiated settlement of their grievances. As Quakers who are also U.S. citizens, we strongly object to the fact that tax-payer funded U. S. military equipment is being used illegally in this conflict. We are very concerned that Israel is using weapons supplied by the United States to target Palestinian & Lebanese civilians and civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon in violation of the US Arms Export Control Act and the Geneva Conventions.
The Israeli air force fighter squadrons are composed of Lockheed Martin F-16I Fighting Falcons and Boeing F-15Is, which fire US-manufactured AMRAAM, Sidewinder, and Sparrow missiles. From 2000-2005, the United States licensed to Israel at least $1.062 billion of spare parts, engines, and missiles for its F-15 and F-16 fighter planes.
By using US-supplied weapons to attack Gaza and Lebanon, Israel is violating the terms of the US Arms Export Control Act and Foreign Assistance Act. The Arms Export Control Act restricts the use of US weapons to legitimate self-defense and internal policing; US weapons cannot be used to attack civilians in offensive operations nor can they be used to destroy civilian infrastructure such as power plants. The Foreign Assistance Act prohibits US aid of any kind to a country that routinely kills civilians as a result of its military operations.
The Olympia Friends Meeting urges the President and Congress to act immediately to halt Israel's military attacks in the Middle East that are being conducted with U.S.-supplied weapons in violation of our laws. We urge the President and Congress to stop all foreign assistance and military equipment exports to Israel until it ceases military attacks outside of its internationally recognized borders.

On a short visit to Rome recently, I had the most delicious Parmigiana di Melanzane in a little restaurant just by the Spanish Steps. The flavour in that moment was incredible, and I knew it would be impossible to recapture. But on coming home I was inspired to have a go, and try to recreate it's essence. As ever, I couldn't resist making a few tweaks to put my own stamp on it.
Parmigiana is all about the happy marriage of tomatoes, parmesan and aubergines, but why not sneak in some grilled courgettes and pointed red peppers too? This could only add to the colour and taste of Italy.
Grilled Aubergines,courgettes and red peppers layered and baked in a rich tomato sauce with mozzarella and parmesan.
If you have a heavy skillet that can be used on top of the stove and in the oven, then this dish can be cooked in the one pan to save on the washing up!
First slice the vegetables into long 1cm slices.
Season them lightly and sauté them in batches, in hot olive oil on top of the stove.
Remove the slices when they have turned a nice golden brown on both sides. Keep them to one side.
Now make a basic tomato sauce by frying the chopped garlic and onions in a little more olive oil, Then add the chopped tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, tomato puree and seasoning.
Bring it up to a brisk bubbling heat, and then turn it down and simmer for 15 mins.
When the sauce as reduced down, taste it and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Now either in the original skillet or in a medium sized ovenware dish, layer the vegetables, sauce, and parmesan lasagne style, saving the mozzarella and some of the parmesan for the very top.
Bake in a medium hot oven for 25 mins or until golden brown and bubbling.
I can't wait to try this our family will just love it! Your post is awesome and thank you so much for sharing it with Full Plate Thursday.
OH my goodness, those veggies look delicious!
YUM. I will definitely be trying this!

The Odd History of Opposition to America's National Parks
You like parks? These people beg to differ.

You probably like parks. You assume everyone feels that way. You are wrong.
As the National Park Service prepares for next summer's centennial, I've been thinking about the people on the wrong side of national park history. A recent tweet from Danielle Brigida, who works for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, shows that such objectors were intense and taken seriously in their time.
This image sent me rummaging through old newspapers. In 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt established Oregon's Lake Malheur Reservation, dedicating about 100,000 acres of (allegedly) unclaimed government land to the preservation and breeding of native birds. American birds were in crisis. Milliners, in search of feathers for the fancy hats of the time, had nearly wiped out several species, including snowy egrets and roseate spoonbills. Headwear was such an important part of turn-of-the-century etiquette that there were instruction books on how to properly tip one's hat, written at a level of detail reminiscent of the Japanese bowing tradition.
Lake Malheur Reservation specifically protected the formerly abundant great egret, which was a prime target for hatmakers. Earlier that year, conservationist William L. Finley had surveyed the area and found only two egrets during a full month of searching. Finley also interviewed a plume hunter who reported making as much as $500 per day (more than $12,000 in today's dollars) selling the wading birds he shot. The same hunter boasted of plundering bird populations all the way to Mexico, exterminating entire egret colonies across the West. Finley's report inspired Roosevelt to set the land aside for the bird's benefit.
It worked for a while, but problems arose by 1920 (perhaps not surprisingly—malheur is French for "woe" or "misfortune"). As Oregon farmers drained water from the Silvies and Blitzen rivers, which feed into Lake Malheur, the lake was drying up and becoming alkaline. So a bunch of Oregonians came up with an idea: Why not just drain the lake and the surrounding wetlands entirely, then sell the land to farmers? To make the idea more palatable to the public, the proceeds from the sale would be earmarked for schools, hence the "babies before birds" motif in the advertisement above.
The ad's complaint about mosquitoes seems trifling to a modern reader, but malaria was a major problem at the time. It was one of several imported diseases that together reduced Oregon's indigenous population by 80 percent by the end of the Civil War in 1865. In 1920 the disease was still killing 58 out of 100,000 Americans annually—the approximate malarial death rate in modern-day Rwanda.

A political and legal battle ensued over Lake Malheur. The state gave voters the option to officially cede management of the area to the federal government. Angry Oregonians wrote letters to newspaper editors opposing the ballot measure, complaining that selling the land would bring value "far above any anticipated benefits that could possibly be derived from a bird reserve." In a piece titled "Birds and Babies," one writer noted that those pesky birds were stealing grain from local farmers. The ballot measure was defeated.
The U.S. government still wanted the land and fought a lengthy legal battle with Oregon. The state contended that the feds had more or less stolen the lake because Uncle Sam never really held title to the reserve in the first place. In 1935, the Supreme Court finally settled the issue, ruling that the land belonged to the federal government. The reserve was legitimate and the federal government had the authority to protect the wetlands from destruction. Take that, babies.
This story is, admittedly, a relic. But it's an important one, because it encapsulates most of the arguments people continue to make against parkland. Opponents claim the land could be made more economically productive. They say wildlands are a detriment to society and do not help the average citizen. And they argue—somewhat bizarrely—that our children will one day thank us for not making parks.

Before establishing Yellowstone as a national park in 1872, for example, Congress demanded hard evidence that the land could not be used for farming, ranching, or housing. After its establishment, opponents still wanted to transfer management to a private company that would administer it in a less elitist and "imperial" manner. Before Glacier National Park was created in 1910, opponents cut the proposed area by two-thirds to allow mining and ranching. Similar concerns shrank the size of Grand Canyon National Park. (William Randolph Hearst also won a prohibition on structures that would impair the view from one of his houses.) Indeed, according to University of Montana historian H. Duane Hampton, two-thirds of existing national parks faced significant opposition.
The arguments continue. Last year, fishermen insisted that a proposed marine national monument was a waste of perfectly good tuna. Opponents of a massive Nevada national monument argued that President Obama was putting landscapes before our children's safety (sound familiar?), because the Air Force needed the airspace for exercises.
No matter how good an idea is, there are always people who are against it. Pope Paul V declared Galileo's ideas about the solar system heretical and told him to drop all that Copernican stuff. Of Darwin's theory of evolution, William Jennings Bryan wrote that "no one has ever been able to trace one single species to another." I'm sure there were people who warned against combining peanut butter and chocolate. I guess America's best idea can't escape the same fate, even after more than a century of making people (and their babies) happy.

THEOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY & RELIGION(MA)
Duration: 12 months (full time); 27 months (part time)|Hope Park|Start month: October
At a time when issues within theology, philosophy, and religion are pulling in divisive directions, the Masters in Theology, Philosophy and Religion offers the unique inter-disciplinary opportunity to examine essential questions about our varied human conditions.
This innovative MA draws on our internationally renowned research expertise. It will develop understanding of vital issues from two innovative perspectives. Firstly, a creative focus on hermeneutics – the interpretation of texts - through theological, critical, and philosophical approaches. Secondly, a global approach with a reflective philosophical and theological focus on the devotional, and spiritual wisdom of Christian, Jewish, Islamic, African and Indic traditions.
You will examine such vital themes as: being and nothingness; God and the Absolute; the soul, the self, and otherness; evil and suffering; ethics and aesthetics; the mystical and the apophatic. In all of these areas, you will be encouraged to question rigid boundaries between theology, spirituality and philosophy.
Through your studies, you will deepen your critical understanding of ways in which texts and ideas critically reflect and shape traditions of wisdom rather than detached intellectual enquiry. This approach affirms the idea that theology articulates rational structures of meaning as much as philosophy undergirds a holistic 'way of life'.
The Masters in Theology, Philosophy and Religion comprises two compulsory 30-credit taught modules: Being & Nothing: The Ground of Existence and Interpreting Texts and Traditions: Postgraduate Seminar, 60 credits of optional modules that will allow students to pursue interests across religious traditions* and a compulsory 60-credit research dissertation adding up to 180 credit.
Assessment methods may include coursework in the form of essays, class presentations, exegetical studies, Viva Voce examinations and research dissertation.
*not all optional modules would be available every year
Being and Nothing: The Ground of Existence (30 credits – compulsory)
This course will study fundamental issues at the interface of philosophy, theology, and religion by focusing on the relationship between ideas of 'being' and 'nothing'. We begin with the primal question of wonder: 'Why is there something rather than nothing?'. Furthermore, how might such wonder relate to questions about what it means to 'be human'? Analysing key texts and figures across Abrahamic, European, and Indic traditions, students will critically examine such fundamental notions as creation and negation, transcendence and immanence, good and evil, ground and forms.
Interpreting Texts and Traditions: Postgraduate Seminar (30 credits – compulsory)
This is a module validated across the department's MA programmes. Each MA takes this compulsory framework and adapts it to its own specific needs and ethos.
In the MA TPR, the approach draws primarily from phenomenological hermeneutics to inform the direct study of primary mystical texts. Its aim is therefore twofold: (a) to enable students to gain familiarity with the most important mystical and/or metaphysical writings from different religious traditions, and (b) to assist them in exploring the many problems involved in interpreting and understanding such texts. The advantage of this approach is a grounding in reading the materials first-hand, and such a close familiarity helps us to understand and evaluate the various methods employed in the study of texts. But also, since each religious tradition and often each particular text presents us with special problems, we gain experience in dealing with specific difficulties of interpretation.
Research Dissertation (60 Credits - compulsory)
During this compulsory module, students will be instructed on how to develop a critical voice and Master's competence, which will help them to research in depth, in consultation with a designated supervisor, a topic of their choosing, documenting it appropriately and putting into practice, in a sustained piece of work, the methods and skills they have developed.
It also seeks to encourage students to examine the effectiveness of academic research methods as aids to study and self-development, as a resource for the advancement of knowledge and understanding.
During the final phase of the MA, students use the skills and knowledge they have developed and draw on their own experience and supporting evidence from specific research articles, to critique, analyse and ultimately influence their research.
During this course, students will also be required to secure the appropriate ethical approval from the University for their Dissertation.
Optional modules (all 30 credits):
Decolonising Religion and Philosophy: African Perspectives (optional)
The Disruptive Other: Religious Experience in the Twilight of Modernity (optional)
Islamic Philosophy and Theology (optional)
The Soul: Between Philosophy, Theology and Religion (optional)
Normally a First Class or Upper Second Class Honours Degree a relevant discipline (other Professional qualifications may be considered).
Students whose first language is not English are normally required to have an IELTS 6.5 (reading 6, writing 6), TOEFL 560 or other equivalent recognised English language qualification. In certain circumstances the University also permits study that students have already carried out at Postgraduate level to be taken into account.
The School of Postgraduate Theology is led by well-respected academics with internationally recognised research profiles in the fields of Religious Studies, Theology, Christian Education, Asian and African Christianity and Philosophy. 100% of the Department's research has been deemed as internationally recognised by the 2014 Research Excellence Framework.
As the only interdisciplinary department in Europe built upon an ecumenical foundation, the Department is at the forefront of creative, collaborative work.
Those undertaking the MA will have the benefit of belonging to an international community of postgraduate students at both masters and doctoral levels. They will also have access to the university's excellent library holdings in the fields of theology, philosophy and religious studies.
Teaching in the School is in line with the wider University Learning and Teaching strategy and encourages active learning in small groups to foster the development of academic potential and improve the working dynamic between students and members of staff.
All taught classes are held at Liverpool Hope University's main campus, Hope Park.
The campus is situated just four miles from the city centre and offers superb academic and support facilities, including on-campus library with extended opening hours, free computer and wi-fi access, access to the on campus gym and sports centre and a careers service for advice on part-time work opportunities and post-study careers
UK/EU TUITION FEES
Tuition fees for Home/EU students for 2020/21 are £5,200
We offer a number of scholarships and loans to help fund your postgraduate studies. Visit our scholarships pages for more details.
INTERNATIONAL TUITION FEES
The International tuition fees for courses starting in the 2020/21 academic year are £11,400 per year (provisional).
If you are an international student, visit our international scholarships pages.
The MA Theology, Philosophy and Religion opens up a vast array of career opportunities, you will develop a broad-ranging theological knowledge and skills base, particularly the close reading of texts, critical thinking and the ability to understand a variety of world views in depth. Graduates from our programmes go on to work in areas such as teaching, law, civil service, social work, ministry.
This programme is an academic master's degree, which is suited to students who may wish to undertake further study and progress to a PhD.
The MA Bible in Pastoral Contexts at the School of Postgraduate Theology adds value to first degrees by developing those either already involved in pastoral work, including leadership positions in Christian churches and organisations, or those interested in finding future employment in this area. Students will be able to draw on the wide areas of academic scholarship and expertise brought to the course by well-published academics and experienced theologians.

Speaking with vampires: Rumor and history in colonial Africa
During the colonial period, Africans told each other terrifying rumors that Africans who worked for white colonists captured unwary residents and took their blood. In colonial Tanganyika, for example, Africans were said to be captured by these agents of colonialism and hung upside down, their throats cut so their blood drained into huge buckets. In Kampala, the police were said to abduct Africans and keep them in pits, where their blood was sucked. Luise White presents and interprets vampire stories from East and Central Africa as a way of understanding the world as the storytellers did. Using gossip and rumor as historical sources in their own right, she assesses the place of such evidence, oral and written, in historical reconstruction.
White conducted more than 130 interviews for this book and did research in Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia. In addition to presenting powerful, vivid stories that Africans told to describe colonial power, the book presents an original epistemological inquiry into the nature of historical truth and memory, and into their relationship to the writing of history.

A number of factors – age, diet, season, climate, pollution, stress and anxietyaffect your hair and scalp. Following an Ayurvedic diet is always the first step to healthy and attractive hair. The best Ayurvedic remedy is always eating lots of leafy green vegetables, fresh fruits, nuts and sprouts.
Another important factor is how you wash your hair. Remember that with a balanced, nutritious diet and all-natural, gentle hair care products, you can maintain your hair's strength, health and luster for years to come.
Dandruff is purely a scalp disease, where dead scalp cells accumulate as flakes at the hair roots. It causes itchy scalps leading to further damage when scratched. Any damage to scalp may cause secondary infection leading to hair loss and affecting the health of hair in general.
Dandruffs may be caused by aggravated vata dosha. Aggravated vata results in dry scalps. Improper maintenance of greasy hair may also cause dandruffs. Unhygienic hair conditions cause accumulation of toxins on the scalp, leading to hair dandruff.
Add 4 grams of camphor in 100 liters of coconut or neem (margosa) oil and store in a glass container. Massage this oil every night before bedtime, and if possible after baths.
Another simple hair massage oil may be made with one teaspoon each of castor oil, mustard oil and coconut oil. Massage your scalp with this every night before bedtime.
Massage your hair roots regularly with a mixture of one part of lemon juice to two parts of coconut oil. Leave on for three or hour hours, and wash off with warm water. You may massage this oil every night before bedtime before washing it off with a mild shampoo.
A concoction made with one part of sandal wood oil to three parts of lemon juice is highly effective. Briskly shake this mixture in a glass bottle before applying.
Losing 70 to 80 hairs of your head daily is quite normal. In damp weather this amount may increase. But if your hair loss is above this, you may be facing hair loss problems.
Hair is basically nourished by the nutrient plasma that is produced by the food we take. But the healthy growth of hair is impeded because of following the wrong food and lifestyle habits, exposure to an excess of chemicals and cosmetics, ill health such as weak eye sight, sinusitis, chronic headaches, general debility, stress and mental tension. Hair loss is also caused by taking too much of strong chemical medicines, the presence of dandruff or hair lice, and hormonal imbalance.
It is essential to daily massage the scalp of affected person for 10 to 15 minutes after bathing it with water. This mechanical action strengthens the hair follicles by stimulating blood circulation in the scalp.
Increase your intakes of green leafy vegetables, salads, milk, fruits and sprouts. Take more proteins, milk, buttermilk, yeast, wheat germ, soybean and vitamin A.
When a person's hair begins to turn gray before the age of 35, the condition is called premature graying of hair.
Excess of pitta dosha in the body is the chief cause of premature graying. Pitta is increased by the excessive intake of caffeinated and alcoholic drinks, meats and by excessive smoking. Pitta is also aggravated by eating too much of fried, greasy, spicy, and acidic food. Overdoing all or even any one of them may be the cause of your gray hair!
Prepare an Ayurvedic powder by mixing together equal quantities of turmeric, amla and neem or margosa leaves. One teaspoon of this powder can be taken twice a day with water. In case amla and neem are not available, only a half-teaspoon of turmeric powder may be had twice a day with water.
Constipation may often be the cause of these hair conditions. Use a mild Ayurvedic laxative such as triphala everyday.
