__БЕЗСАДРЖАЈА__

Одвојени али једнаки () је била правна доктрина у уставном праву Сједињених Америчких Држава која је оправдавала систем сегрегације. Према овој доктрини, јавне услуге и смештај су могли бити раздвојени према раси, под условом да квалитет објеката и услуга намењених свакој раси буде исти. Фраза одвојено али једнако изведена је из текста једног закона који је усвојен у Луизијани 1890.

Доктрина одвојено али једнако легализована је 1896, пресудом Врховног суда у предмету Плеси против Фергусона. У овој пресуди, Суд је прогласио легалним закон Луизијане који је прописивао да у возовима морају постојати одвојени вагони за белце и црнце. Три године касније, Суд је новом пресудом у случају Каминг против Одбора за образовање округа Ричмонд легализовао расну сегрегацију и у државним школама.

У наредном периоду су, углавном у јужном делу САД, раздвојене школе, универзитети, болнице, објекти јавног превоза, јавни тоалети и други објекти. Иако је уставна доктрина захтевала једнакост, у пракси су објекти и услуге које су користили црнци били лошијег квалитета од оних које су користили белци. На пример, многе америчке школе које су похађали црнци су добијале мање средстава по ученику него школе које су похађали белци.

Борба против доктрине одвојено али једнако била је најважније питање Покрета за грађанска права педесетих и шездесетих година 20. века. Расна сегрегација у школама укинута је пресудом Врховног суда у случају Браун против Одбора за образовање Топике, док је у случају Болинг против Шарпа забрањена и на федералном нивоу у Дистрикту Колумбија. Овим пресудама доктрина је званично укинута, иако је још извесно време примењивана у пракси.

If you work as an air medical transport paramedic, there's a good chance you will respond to emergencies in which the patient requires a splint. This will usually be in situations where the patient has undergone some form of physical trauma and fracture. You may think you're already an expert in splinting but there's always room for improvement.
Take your time if the patient is stable – There may be times when you need to splint an extreme fracture when you respond to a call. If the patient's condition is stable, it's important that you avoid rushing through the splinting process. Although you may get nervous, there's no harm in taking a few extra minutes to carefully splint the fracture before taking them for air medical transport.
Make the most of pillows – Pillows provide good padding when you need to splint a fracture. They also act as effective splints even on their own. So if your patient has a distal fracture, you just need to roll up the injured part in a pillow and tape it firmly. But make sure the toes or fingers are sticking out.
Opt to control the pain beforehand – Although splinting is intended to reduce pain, the splinting process itself can be very painful. If your patient is screaming in pain it may be difficult for you to concentrate on the splinting and you may end up making a mistake. So try to administer some analgesics beforehand if possible.

Laws & Rituals
by Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair - www.seasonsofthemoon.com
A Children's Game That Contains the Story of the Jewish People
Hear this read by Rabbi Sinclair on our audio site
The Dreidel
A children's game, played in the firelight of a cold winter night, the Chanukah Menorah silently glowing in the window... The dreidel. Its four sides spinning around the still point in the turning circle; spinning so fast that its sides blur into nothingness... The dreidel. So seemingly insignificant - and yet this little dreidel contains the story of the Jewish People; the history of the whole world...
starts not with the miracle of Chanukah, but 1,437 years earlier with Jacob's ladder. Jacob had a prophetic dream of angels ascending and descending a ladder that reached from the ground to the heavens. These angels weren't Hollywood extras with fluorescent tubes over their heads - they were, in fact, incorporeal spiritual messengers - the protecting forces of four great kingdoms.
Four kingdoms that would in the future dominate and exile the Jewish People: Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome.
At first, Yaakov saw the angel of Babylon ascend the ladder 70 steps and then he came down: The Jewish People were in the Babylonian exile for 70 years.
The protecting angel of the Empire of Persia and Media then climbed up the ladder 52 steps before he descended: The Jewish People were in exile in Persia 52 years.
Then the angel of the Empire of Greece climbed 180 rungs - the domination of Greece lasted 180 years.
Finally, the protecting angel of the Roman Empire climbed up the ladder, but he didn't come down. Yaakov feared that this final exile would never end, until Hashem promised Yaakov - If he will rise up like an eagle and make his nest among the stars - even from there I will bring him down.
We are still in that final exile, in the softly asphyxiating embrace of Rome's spiritual heirs....
The Four Kingdoms
In the year 3338 (587/6 BCE), the first of our Holy Temples was razed to the ground by the Babylonian Emperor Nabuchadnezer, and the majority of the Jewish People led into exile by the Assyrian Emperor Sancheriv. Why was it such a tragedy that the Beis Hamikdash (Holy Temple) was destroyed? The Beis Hamikdash represents a unique pipeline between Hashem and Man. When it was destroyed, this flow of spiritual energy was severed. The level of this connection is linked to the word "nefesh" - soul ("When a soul will bring an offering"...Vayikra 2:1). Nefesh begins with the letter Nun, and Nun represents the kingdom of Babylon.
As we know from the story of Esther, Haman was interested in finding the final solution of the Jewish problem - genocide. The exile of Persia and Media represents the threat to the "guf" - the body of the Jewish People, the physical threat of annihilation. Guf begins with Gimmel which stands for the kingdom of Persia and Media.
Greece, on the other hand, represents the attack on the Torah itself - the sechel - the wisdom of Israel. The Greeks weren't interested in the physical destruction of the Jewish People; rather they wanted to destroy the spiritual core of Judaism - the Torah - and leave a Hellenized hulk that would conform to the Greek norms of aesthetics - drama and the superficial wisdoms. Sechel begins with the letter Sin - that's the letter of the kingdom of Greece.
The fourth kingdom, Rome, is a summation of all the other exiles. At the beginning of their domination, the Romans, like the Babylonians, stopped the bringing of offerings in the Temple. Then, they destroyed the second Holy Temple and inflicted unthinkable carnage on the "guf", the body of Jewish People: After the massacre of Betar, they used Jewish blood as fertilizer for seven years.
At first, Rome was the intellectual scion of Greece, but with the conversion of the emperor Constantine to Christianity in 313 CE, the Catholic Church became the spiritual heir of the Roman Empire. After the demise of the influence of the Church, the mantle of Rome was subsequently worn by secularism and materialism - the spiritual incarnation of Rome in our own times.
Rome is all the exiles rolled into one and thus it is represented by the Hebrew word "HaKol," meaning "all". Its first letter is the letter Heh.
WHERE is the point at the center of a circle?
Can you define it? And yet it exists. Just like the letter 'yud' in the Hebrew alphabet - a single dot - from which the whole universe was created - the threshold of existence. The still point in the turning circle - and around that dot turns the whole world. The Jewish People are that little dot - so infinitesimally small, and yet around this dot, the world turns.
WHAT is the opposite to that little dot?
What is the opposite of the central point that occupies no space? Direction - North, South, East and West. Expansion in four directions. Four is the antithesis of the One. Four is the number of the Kingdoms who stand eternally opposed to the Jewish People. Eternally opposed to He who is One. And to His reflection in this world - the Jewish People.
TAKE another look at our dreidel spinning.
What do you see? Four sides. Spinning around a central point that occupies no space. And when those sides spin - they themselves cease to have direction anymore. Now, in the blur of their whirling - they are a circle, a reflection of the still small point at its center.
WHAT is it that is carved on the sides of our dreidel?
Nun, Gimmel, Sin, Heh... On the surface, those letters stand for "Nes Gadol Hayah Sham - A great miracle happened there" - The commemoration of a miraculous victory of a faithful few over the might of the Greek Empire. But on a deeper level, the dreidel is a microcosmic representation of the four kingdoms, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome spinning around the center, the Jewish People.
AND The Hand that spins the dreidel comes from above...
Every empire thinks that it will last forever, but The Hand that spins only spins the dreidel of history for predetermined time and then, each Empire, despite its vainglorious boasting, falters on its axis...and finally crashes.
THE DREIDEL. A children's game,
played in the firelight of a cold winter night, the Chanukah Menorah silently glowing in the window... The dreidel. Its four sides spinning around the still point in the turning circle; spinning so fast that its sides blur into nothingness... The dreidel. So seemingly insignificant - and yet this little dreidel contains the story of the Jewish People; the history of the whole world...

Back to the future? Lessons on inequality, labour markets, and conflict from the Gilded Age, for the present
VOX online
Today's labour market in the US has much in common with that of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Then, as now, there were few government protections for workers, fears over cheap immigrant labour, rapid technological change, and increasing market concentration. This column explores the lessons that can be drawn from the earlier 'Gilded Age'. The findings suggests that even as markets play a greater role in allocating labour, legal and political institutions will continue to shape bargaining power between firms and workers....

Defense: 'Over-the Horizon' air strike kills 2 high-profile ISIS-K targets
In: Defense
The U.S. military conducted an unmanned drone strike in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan — to the east of Kabul — which killed two ISIS-K individuals who were known to be responsible for planning and facilitation activities within the organization, the Pentagon's joint staff deputy director for regional operations said.
Washington, August 28, 2021.- During a briefing today at the Pentagon, Army Maj. Gen. William D. «Hank» Taylor said that an additional ISIS-K member was also wounded in the strike, and that there were «zero civilian casualties.»
«We will continue to have the ability to defend ourselves and to leverage over-the-horizon capability to conduct counter-terrorism operations as needed,» Taylor said.
The U.S. military has said since the departure from Afghanistan was announced that it has the ability to conduct «over-the-horizon» operations as part of its ongoing counter-terrorism mission. That means it would continue to be able to conduct an operation such as the drone strike in Nangarhar Province, without having to actually launch it from within Afghanistan.
While two ISIS-K members were killed and one was injured, the security situation in Afghanistan is still dangerous, said Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby.
«The threat stream is still active, still dynamic. We're still laser focused on that and force protection, and we aren't thinking for a minute that what happened yesterday gets us in the clear,» Kirby said. «Do we think that that will have some impact on their ability going forward? Absolutely. What and to how much we're just going to have to keep watching the intelligence going forward.»
The U.S. military expects to be out of Afghanistan by August 31. Until then, noncombatant evacuation operations, or NEO, continue at Hamid Karzai International Airport to get as many American citizens, Afghan special immigrant visa applicants and other vulnerable Afghans out of the country.
At the same time that evacuation is happening, the U.S. military is also conducting retrograde operations to get out military equipment and people not involved in the NEO. Taylor said both of those operations — the NEO and the retrograde — can happen concurrently and both will continue until the last U.S. aircraft and service member leaves the country.
«We have the ability to include evacuees on military airlift out of Afghanistan until the very end,» he said. «This is a massive military, diplomatic, security and humanitarian undertaking for the United States and our allies.»
In the last 24 hours, he said, 32 U.S. military aircraft left Hamid Karzai International Airport with about 4,000 personnel. An additional 34 coalition aircraft departed the airport with approximately 2,800 personnel.
So far, he said, more than 117,000 have been evacuated from Afghanistan, with approximately 5,400 of those being American citizens.
«This is an incredible number of people who are now safer thanks to the heroism of the young men and women who are putting their lives on the line each day to evacuate American and vulnerable Afghans out of Kabul,» Taylor said.
Thursday morning outside the gates of Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, 13 of those American service members were killed as the result of an enemy attack while supporting the NEO there. A number of Afghan civilians were also killed, and both American service members and Afghan civilians were injured. Those service members killed came from the Marine Corps, the Army and the Navy.
From the Marine Corps, the deceased include Sgt. Darin T. Hoover, Sgt. Johanny Rosariopichardo, Sgt. Nicole L. Gee, Cpl. Hunter Lopez, Cpl. Daegan W. Page, Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez, Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza, Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz, Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum, Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola, and Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui. From the Navy, Seaman Maxton W. Soviak was killed. And from the Army, it was Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss who was killed.

This nice little modernist gas station is on Route 66 in Williams, AZ.
The day I visited the old fashioned pumps were chained off so I wonder if they are just for show. There is probably some public safety ordinance that forbids their use. Still it is nice to see them.
Love it. I visited "Never Too Old" yesterday in Penola, South Oz. It's an antique shop with originals and repro's. They had a few reproduction petrol pumps. There's also a great vintage shop there, with all sorts of retro and art deco bits and pieces. The owner also runs a B&B which she let me look through. It had an old original art deco cocktail cabinet, with the lights that come on when the doors are opened, along with a matching wall shelf.
Enjoy your posts and photo's, keep up the good work.
Sounds like a great place Lisa.
Indeed that is so lovely.

Iran's barley production declines due to low precipitation
Rain-fed barley farms have suffered 30-40% of losses due to low precipitation levels and water shortage across the country, says the director general of Grains and Essential Goods Production Bureau with the Agriculture Ministry, expecting production to decline this year.
"This crop year [September 2020-21], the country has seen an average of 38% decrease in precipitation levels, which were sparse and insufficient. This is why, despite an 18% increase in land under barley cultivation this year, production will fall," Faramak Aziz-Karimi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
According to the official, this year a total of 1.8 million hectares of farms have gone under barley cultivation, around 1 million hectares of which are rain-fed and the remaining 800,000 hectares are irrigated.
"At present, we are planning to provide enough seeds, fertilizers and pesticides for the new crop year to ensure the domestic supply of the crop does not face serious problems," he added.
Iran is not self-sufficient in barley production and, every year, imports meet part of its local need for the grain from Russia, Kazakhstan, the UAE, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Singapore, the UK, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Australia and Romania.
Drought has inflicted more than 670 trillion rials ($2.4 billion) in losses on Iran's agriculture sector since the beginning of the current crop year.
According to Mohammad Mousavi, an official with Agriculture Ministry, assessments carried out over 11.2 million hectares of farmlands in 30 provinces show 43% of the total losses pertained to the decline in the production of agronomic crops, as well as 26% in horticultural products, 13% in fisheries and livestock, and 11% in forage crops.
"In addition, 4% of the total damage are to blame on challenges created in water transportation infrastructures, pools, pipes, aqueducts and springs, and 3% of losses can be attributed to water supply complications and the animal feed used by nomads," Mousavi was quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency.
Iran is an arid country and the rise and fall in precipitation levels are characteristic of arid regions making predictions of domestic demand, import requirements and export capacities a challenge every year.

Q: Symbol name conflicts with new register names in new NASM versions? Imagine you wrote this 10 years ago (before Intel MPX and the bnd0..bnd3 registers were even on a roadmap):
section .data

; define some globals which are part of an ABI so you can't just rename them
global bnd0      ; MPX bound register name conflict
bnd0: dd 123

global k0        ; AVX512 mask register name conflict
k0: dq 12345

How can you assemble this with a current version of NASM?  i.e. Does NASM (or YASM) have forward compatibility with new versions that support new register names?
Obviously this is easy to solve with search/replace inside a single file or project.  But in theory, you could have a global variable name as part of a library ABI that you either export from NASM or need to import into NASM with extern ymm0.  (External symbols have to be declared, so unrecognized register names never assemble to symbol references.)
NASM syntax is already unsuitable as a format for C compiler output on platforms which don't prefix symbol names with an _ or do some other kind of name mangling (e.g. Linux ELF).  You can't compile a global int eax = 1;.  This is why AT&T syntax uses %eax for register names.  Discussion in comments on that answer is what inspired this question.  Note that GAS doesn't need external symbols to be declared; unrecognized names are treated as symbols (even in .intel_syntax noprefix mode which uses a syntax similar to MASM).
Related: how does MASM handle forward source compatibility for new extensions?

Can you disable MPX support somehow?
YASM supports a CPU directive that lets you disable support for some mnemonics, but even disabling AVX support doesn't let you use ymm0 as a symbol name.  (YASM 1.3.0 doesn't support AVX512 or MPX, so it can assemble code that uses those register names as symbols, but it does support AVX2.)
CPU Conroe
extern ymm0

I get yasm-CPU.asm:2: error: directive 'extern' requires an identifier parameter.  Or with ymm0: dd 123, the error is yasm-CPU.asm:2: error: label or instruction expected at start of line
But AVX support is definitely disabled: assembling CPU Conroe / vmovaps xmm0, [edi] gives:
$ yasm -Worphan-labels -felf32 yasm-CPU.asm
yasm-CPU.asm:2: warning: `vmovaps' is an instruction in CPU
yasm-CPU.asm:2: error: instruction expected after label

(It says CPU 686 or similar for older disabled extensions.  IDK why it doesn't say in CPU Sandybridge AVX.  It seems that yasm is no longer well maintained.  YASM 1.3.0 supports CPU Haswell and AVX2, but the docs don't mention it.)
The intent of this feature is to stop you from accidentally using SSE4 instructions in a function for SSSE3-or-lower CPUs, but apparently it doesn't help with this problem.

NASM's CPU directive seems to be similar, and also doesn't help at all:
CPU 686
vmovaps xmm0, [edi]
extern ymm0
    mov eax, ymm0

$ nasm -Worphan-labels -felf32 CPU.asm
CPU.asm:2: error: no instruction for this cpu level
CPU.asm:4: error: invalid combination of opcode and operands

Note that it does assemble extern ymm0 just fine, with or without a CPU directive, but as soon as you use it as an operand, you have a problem.

A: NASM lets you prefix a symbol with a dollar sign $ so that it's interpreted as symbol rather than register or other reserved word. From the NASM documentation:

3.1 Layout of a NASM Source Line
[...] An identifier may also be prefixed with a $ to indicate that it is intended to be read as an identifier and not a reserved word; thus, if some other module you are linking with defines a symbol called eax, you can refer to $eax in NASM code to distinguish the symbol from the register. [...]

MASM is normally only used in environments where C compilers prefix identifiers with underscores _, so this isn't as big of an issue with that assembler. However it does have a solution this problem, but it's basically the opposite of NASM's.  You can use the OPTION NOKEYWORD directive to disable reserved words of your choice. For example you can use OPTION NOKEYWORD:<eax> so that you can use a symbol named eax. Of course that prevents you from using the register named EAX, so it's not as general solution as NASM's.

In a large cohort of apparently healthy young and middle-aged women, high-risk HPV infection was significantly associated with an increased risk of developing CVD.
SAN FRANCISCO — Women with high-risk, or oncogenic, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection are at higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease compared to women without high-risk HPV. This research was recently presented at IDWeek 2018 held October 3-7, 2018, in San Francisco, California.
This cohort study included 63,411 women, age >30 years, who did not have cardiovascular disease at study initiation, but who were tested for high-risk HPV infection and followed for 5 years to evaluate for subsequent onset of cardiovascular disease. Out of this cohort, 7.6% had high-risk HPV infection, and there were 1122 new cases of cardiovascular disease identified in 261,598.9 person-years of follow-up. Individuals with high-risk HPV infection were 1.26 times (95% CI, 1.03-1.53) more likely than those without high-risk HPV infection to have incident cardiovascular disease. The hazard ratio decreased to 1.25 (95% CI, 1.03-1.53) when further adjustments for potential confounders were made. Individuals with a body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 were at higher risk than individuals with BMIs under this cutoff, but there were no other significant differences between subgroups.
The study researchers followed up with participants once per year or once every 2 years between 2011 and 2016.

EPA Delayed on Proposed ELG Revisions for Steam Power Plants
Maximizing the Solar ITC Phaseout: Lessons from Wind
Instrumentation & Controls/
Computer-based hydro plant scheduling
06/15/2006 | Louis B. Deziel, PhD
Hydroelectric power plant managers face unique scheduling challenges. They have a finite amount of water in their reservoirs available for energy production, and they need to schedule generation according to market demand to maximize profits from their limited "fuel" supply.
Hydro power plants are capable of producing products other than electricity. Among them are ancillary services such as regulation and spinning reserve, which plant managers need to consider when they schedule production. Daily and hourly changes in market price and regulatory constraints on reservoir levels are other factors. In the context of this complexity, plant managers must bid their mix of products on an hourly and daily basis, and their offering must be both competitive and profitable.
To optimize this complex production-scheduling problem, most hydro plants rely on general rules and operator experience. However, these methods do not take advantage of economic opportunities that present themselves on a daily and hourly basis.
As the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland Interconnection (PJM) became the most active and liquid market for bulk power in the U.S., Safe Harbor Water Power Corp. (Conestoga, Pa.) recognized the opportunity to use a computerized method of optimizing its production scheduling to maximize its profits. The Safe Harbor station (Figures 6 and 7) is a 12-unit facility with an installed capacity of 417 MW. Immediately below it is the reservoir for the Holtwood plant, which has 10 units with a total capacity of 115 MW.

An automated solution
To enable automated scheduling and bidding of a multi-plant, multi-product hydropower system into PJM, Safe Harbor implemented the Multi-product Hydro Optimization Tool (MPOpt). The application, which was designed by the management consulting firm and service-product developer Atelier (Menlo Park, Calif.), uses Microsoft Excel and the Premium Solver Platform (PSP) from Frontline Systems Inc. (Incline Village, Nev.; on the web at www.solver.com). Atelier used several unique features of PSP to model this complex problem in a way that allows MPOpt to optimize even the most complex schedules in under five minutes.
As a result of implementing MPOpt, Safe Harbor:
Increased its revenue by more than 30% by aggressively pursuing the emerging ancillary services markets for regulation and spinning reserve.
Improved its maintenance schedules by minimizing the lost opportunity cost of plant downtime.
Gained a valuable tool for quantifying the impact of proposed changes to government regulations for reservoir operations.
Replaced historical operating policies that were suboptimal—one was "not allowing spill, when possible."
Positioned itself as a leader in the PJM market for ancillary services.
"The use of a computerized optimization tool took the guesswork out of our daily production scheduling and greatly increased our profits," said Safe Harbor President and CEO Marshall Kaiser. "Our hydro schedulers create optimal hourly schedules for three products from two power plants in minutes, which would be impossible with manual methods. The ability to also quickly run 'what if' scenarios has provided insight into our operations that we would not have gained without the tool. Optimization led us into the ancillary services business and ultimately helped us identify novel ways to increase our plants' capacity to produce these products."
Modeling for speed
Atelier chose PSP for its ability to quickly solve problems that include binary variables. Binary variables are important tools for representing the discrete business conditions that constrain business processes. They can be instrumental in representing a complex nonlinear process so that it can be solved quickly in an operations environment.
For example, Atelier used the binary variable features of PSP to mathematically model the nonlinear behavior of water as it spills over a spillway. By representing model nonlinearities in both plant efficiency and water behavior, MPOpt can run a case in just a few minutes, as opposed to several hours, as was required by other hydro power system models. The schedules produced using the piecewise linear spill model that Atelier developed with PSP can meet the required reservoir elevations within one-tenth of a foot, which is the tolerance allowed by the regulatory agency. As Atelier continued to add capabilities to MPOpt, performance enhancements included in Frontline's software releases kept up with the need to run the model in fewer than five minutes.
MPOpt can schedule up to four systems (reservoirs and plants) in a variety of configurations. Safe Harbor uses MPOpt to schedule two plants and two reservoirs on the Susquehanna River as a coordinated system.
Schedule options
Scheduling and bidding at Safe Harbor is a daily routine organized around MPOpt (Figure 8). By 8:00 a.m. each day, Safe Harbor loads the following inputs into MPOpt:
An hourly forecast of total expected energy demand on PJM over the next five days. The forecast is prepared by PJM using its own model of market demand based on weather and other factors.
Reservoir elevations at the start of the scheduling horizon.
An hourly forecast of river inflow to the reservoirs, based on data from monitoring stations throughout Safe Harbor's watershed area.
Any necessary updates to unit availability or reservoir operating constraints—for example, whether reservoir elevations should be restricted to ensure the safety of staff working on the dam during the schedule horizon.
8. It optimizes revenues, too. Safe Harbor implemented the Atelier-designed MPOpt to model the complexities of the multi-unit hydro plant such that even the most complex schedules can be optimized in fewer than five minutes. Source: Atelier
A module within MPOpt automatically forecasts market prices for each of the three products based on the hourly forecast for total energy demand in the PJM system.
Between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., Safe Harbor hydro schedulers run MPOpt several times. With each run, they tune various calibration parameters, such as selecting an appropriate "day-type" for the price forecast model and adjusting other parameters to reflect real-time market conditions. The hydro schedulers may also run a bidding module that uses PSP to determine optimal bid prices. The Safe Harbor scheduling team then submits to the ISO by noon bid schedules and prices for the "day ahead" market, which is the 24 hours beginning at midnight. PJM provides the bidding results to all market participants that afternoon.
Benefits of profit optimization
Some of the results that MPOpt produces are counterintuitive. For example, the software sometimes recommends:
Production at less than full capacity when demand and price are at their daily peak. Doing so would be more profitable because together, selling regulation during the peak hour and using the water saved to produce energy and regulation at a different hour would more than make up for the lost revenue.
Running the larger upstream plant harder than the smaller downstream plant, producing a water spill at the latter. MPOpt may even suggest that the downstream plant spill even more water than necessary so it can sell regulation, too.
Emptying a reservoir during a heat wave and waiting for it to refill over subsequent days, in the anticipation that cooler weather will mean lower demand and lower prices. This would be a bolder move than historical operating policy, and one that staff may not be comfortable with.
In each case, MPOpt can quantify the additional profit that can be achieved from the suggested schedule, vis-à-vis the schedule that traditional operating policies would have produced. After seeing the results, Safe Harbor updated its operating policy and overturned long-standing rules of thumb—such as the rule to avoid spill.
Insights like these, which only modeling can provide, helped Safe Harbor to realize the potential of computer-based profit optimization. Implementing an optimization tool can also produce other benefits. At Safe Harbor, implementing daily profit optimization helped staffers think more about ways to improve operations. As a result, they identified a method for Safe Harbor to increase its production of regulation without adding capacity—by simply changing how the plant's control system works.

If anyone would like to comment on these, please let Fenella know by 1st November 2016.
Fenella met with UHW today to discuss access issues to the hospital that have been raised by residents. All of these issues will be investigated and Fenella will post the UHW response.
1 The Gabalfa Interchange is getting congested with cars waiting to access UHW from the A48.
2 Disabled drivers are unable to see if there are any disabled spaces available on the ground floor of the 2 storey car park as they are required to go up to the second floor before being able to come down to look for a space.
3 Why can't the 2 storey car park have additional levels added to it? Fenella has been told that the UHB have been prevented from doing this. She is seeking clarification on who made this decision.
4 Why aren't UHW making use of the P&R at Pentwyn? Fenella has been told that this is being discussed again within the UHB . More to come on this.
5 Visitors to the site are being told that they cannot turn right towards the Dental Hospital from the Rhydhelig Ave entrance. Fenella has been told that this is allowed. Patients will not be able to access A&E from this direction, though.
6 Fenella has asked that the signage at the barrier on the approach from A48 be clear in terms of what to do in an emergency. There will be an intercom system in place to ensure that any emergency can access A&E without circling the whole UHW site.
7 Why is there no bus information being made more readily available with appointment letters? While there is plenty of information on the UHB website, this is not likely to accessed by older people. This needs attention.
8 Why are there no electronic indicators on the bus stops and 'You are here' signs?
9 Why has the bus shelter not been upgraded opposite A&E, and to include seating area?
Just so that you are aware, all security staff are now provided with body cameras. There have been a number of incidents where individuals accessing the UHW site have been abusive to staff and these are likely to lead to prosecution. Please be very careful.
If you have any concerns at all that you would like Fenella to raise, just get in touch.
Just to update residents on progess with the development of the former Highfields site on Allensbank Road.
Cardiff Council has informed councillors that the planning application for the development of 40 new properties on the former Highfields site will be postponed until May 2017. The application had been expected to be submitted to Planning this month.
Fenella said 'This has come as a surprise. Every indication pointed to the plans being ready for submission to Planning this month & now residents will have to wait a further 8 months to find out what the final plans are, & to respond to them'.
We have been assured that residents will be informed of the delay by Council. Fenella is awaiting the copy of the draft letter.
Following the Cardiff & Vale UHB's recent announcement that it would be making changes to access to UHW for vehicles, work has begun on site today, 15th August.
The physical works will entail changing priorities, road markings and new signage. From 22nd August there will be works on the barriers which will be manually operated in the first instance. It is expected that the works will be completed on 14th September 2016.
The road outside A&E will no longer be open and will only be accessible to buses & emergency vehicles. There will be drop off points on either side of the area.
Fenella added ' There is a lot more work for the UHB to do in relation to their management proposals for the UHW site, and I remain unconvinced of their commitment to working in partnership with local councillors, residents, and the Council'.
We will be keeping you updated!

On Tour: Wella Japan Meets The Creative Scene
Berlin is all about individuality. You're free to be whoever you want to be and spending just a few minutes on the streets will assure you that you can look as absurd as it pleases you, too. Tainted Sunglasses, peacock feathers and ripped jeans with your suit jacket? No probs. Undies on your head? Happens all the time. Hence, no one so much as batted an eye when a whole bunch of super trendy looking stylists from WELLA's Japan division led by Berlinagenten started roaming the streets of Berlin Mitte to hunt for the coolest trends in the city.
Berlinagenten took them on a specially designed Cool Hunting Tour to fulfil their inspirational needs and really help them to dig into Berlin's creative atmosphere – after all they were here to broaden their horizons and catch some of the city's unique flair to bring it back home.
After visiting some of Berlin's mandatory landmarks, we've had the pleasure of hosting four simultaneous tours through different trendy boroughs, all well known for their cool&edgy restaurants, bars, design stores and hip boutiques. Every now and then we've made somewhat longer stops at the locations to give our vigorous youngsters the chance to ask in depth questions and have a look behind the scenes – we promised to really give them insight into the Berlin fashion and art scene and we didn't let them down! Visits included fashion labels like Picapica (known for high quality plant-dyed organic-clothing), Tausche, Devaki (they make some of the finest hats), but also the Art Center Bethanien and Berlin's newest design temple, the Bikini House.
After an eventful day our guests boasted all the pictures they had taken that day over a gourmet dinner at the Soho House, sharing all the colourful memories of a day that's bound to stay on their minds for months to come. A few of our japanese guests just couldn't get enough of the city (and Berlinagenten) and decided to join us for a wild night out – strictly off the books. If the others won't forget Berlin anytime soon, they certainly never will. We ended up partying until the early morning at Berlin's sexiest cult party – Chantal's House of Shame and our guests (literally) screamed with delight, all night! We're already looking forward to having you guys again.

Insiders: Berlin legends – Britt Kanja
Berlin always drifts somewhere between left and right, rich and poor, success and failure. We're a city of thousand faces and maybe the most prominent face over the years has been that of our nightlife. Ask anyone who's been to Berlin and they will gladly tell you, the never-ending parties are beyond good and evil. Some might even tell you about the many stars and legends that have once shaped the surface of our nightlife to what it is today. One of those stars is Britt Kanja and we talked to her about the craziest parties in Berlin, the meaning of life and the secret of her seemingly everlasting beauty.
Q: Hey, Britt. As you know we have many international readers who might not be so familiar with the Berlin nightlife and its history, so let's start from the bottom. Could you tell us about the infamous 90° club that you and Bob Young founded in the 80's?
A: Bob and I were both very life-affirming and full of joy. But no matter where we went, it was never quite what we longed for, so it wasn't long until we began throwing our own parties. In the beginning it was just a theme party called Tanzstelle in various different locations, but eventually it came as it had to come and we founded our own club, called the 90°. Life was very intense back then. Our parties went on forever, the nights became days and days became nights again. The vision of beauty united us and we were always glad to find like-minded spirits. The kind of people who realized that fame was just a game and you'll only ever be a winner at it if others win as well.
Q: You toured Europe as a professional dancer and lived in San Diego for five years before coming back to Germany. Did that have an influence on your idea of giving birth to a new nightclub?
A: I really had a cultural shock when I got back to Berlin in the 80's! Many people had left the city and others moved in, often from smaller villages. They moved in for financial and political reasons, to study or to avoid being drafted. I studied nutritional science back in the US and I looked like blossoming life itself when I returned, but that really wasn't en vogue here. It was cool to look sick and broken and walk around with your nose high up in the air, feeding on your own arrogance. So the vision of beauty that we brought to the table was something completely new.
Q: So where did you find your inspiration?
A: Berlin was the gay center of the world in the 60's and the nightclubs and coffeebars were buzzing with life. When I returned home in the 80's, it had changed into a city with a very low spirit for community. That was the time I figured that any place I came back to, people rejoiced and told me how everything had fallen apart while I was gone. It was right then that I realized I have always had the gift of connecting people and bringing them together, so founding a nightclub was an easy choice to make.
Q: You must have seen some really, really wild parties over the last decades. Which of them were really off the hook?
A: The style of our parties always was something between genius and chaos. The guests were a mixture of all ages, hetero, gay and androgyne. You know all these bad taste parties people always go to and have a blast? We were the first ones to pull that trick out of the hat. 20 years ago we threw the first "Bad Taste Is Back Again" party in Berlin and it was mindblowing! Celebs from around the globe joined in. Unforgettable memories, especially since everyone was dressed up like in the 70s, no matter which background they had.
Q: That does sound marvelous. Are there any oth-
A: Wait, I remember an even better party! Berlin, 1995. All the stars and politicians were invited to the unveiling of the Reichstag and half of Europe's Royalty booked flights to Berlin to become part of this legendary happening. And so we threw an immense party the night before in Café Moskau. The theme was Indian night and all the celebs were dressed up as Indians, turbans and everything. That might be one of the most legendary nights I remember.
Q: So you're saying Berlin's most popular public figures got totally wasted and the next day it was off to the historic unwrapping of the Reichstag?
A: Yes, exactly! And just think of it, everyone wearing those hilarious indian costumes.
Q: At the unwrapping?
A: No! At the Café Moskau, the former club-restaurant for priviliged people during the communist era. We were the first to bring back life into the venue after the political turnaround, the fall of the Wall. The army had to clear the place of wiretaps first, though. The place was Honecker's entertainment "palace" in the GDR, featuring many private séparées and hidden rooms. I can only imagine what kind of things Honecker did at the Café back then. Hence all the wiretaps! Then we found the biggest surprise yet. The basement was filled with pineapple tins, up to the ceiling. Hundreds of them, no, thousands! What a view that was!
Q: Haha, maybe Honecker was secretly undertaking pineapple experiments in the basement. But enough of the parties – you're a woman of many talents. What else do you do?
A: I designed a collection for a knitting manufactory, I did the choreography for the fashion show as well as the production of the fashion catalogue. After I retired from working in the 90° club I started studying graphics- and film cutting programs at a media academy and did a traineeship at the Circus of Now. Nowadays I spend a lot of time painting. I am currently working on an art exhibition – each piece consists of three pictures and covers a whole wall and there's five all together. So far it has me a 3/4 year and it's not even finished.
Q: That sounds great, you're still going strong! How did you manage to stay so fit, mentally and optically?
A: Life offers us nuts, but cracking them is up to you. Everyone faces their challenges and some people become desperate over time. That's bound to make you old, grey and bitter. You'll only get in trouble if you run away from your challenges instead of facing them and I prefer clarity over bitterness. I'm constantly trying to broaden my horizon and I feel I'm expecting less and less and am able to give more and more. We're living in tough, exploitative times but it's up to you to make the best out of it and stay fit.
Q: Truer words have never been spoken! Last question – could we please get an insider tip for a wild night out in Berlin?
A: If you're a little crazy and tolerant and maybe a little gay, too, then I know just the spot. It's an underground party called Chantal's House of Shame and it takes place every thursday. As excessive and uninhibited as it gets these days. There's a wild mix of gays and heteros and things can go from normal to hunky-dory in a split-second. It doesn't matter who you are and what you are, everyone's welcome.
Q: Any last words?
A: There's hope for humanity. You. It's in each and every one of us. Fill up the treasury of your beauty. Only when the power of love overcomes the love for power, this world will find its peace.
Thank you, Britt! We wish you the very best and we hope to see you in Berlin's spotlights for many years to come!

The Plagues Have Arrived in 'Exodus: Gods & Kings' Second Trailer
Source: 20th Century Fox
"There was a prophecy that our leader would be born to liberate us. That leader is you, Moses." Following the teaser trailer earlier this year, the second full trailer for Ridley Scott's Biblical epic Exodus: Gods & Kings has arrived, and it's epic in every sense of the word. The first trailer seemed to be holding back, but this one paints a beautiful picture of two brothers forced to become enemies. Christian Bale and Joel Edgerton are putting in great performances here, even if the latter's orange skin is a little off-putting, and the scope of this film is huge as evidenced by the arrival of the infamous plagues from God. Watch below!
Here's the new trailer for Ridley Scott's Exodus: God & Kings from 20th Century Fox:
Watch the original teaser trailer for Exodus: Gods & Kings right here.
Exodus: Gods and Kings is directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Robin Hood, Alien, Blade Runner) and written by Adam Cooper & Bill Collage (Tower Heist, Accepted), with a rewrite by Steve Zaillian (American Gangster, Moneyball, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). The film follows Christian Bale (The Dark Knight, Out of the Furnace) as Moses, chronicling the Biblical figures life from his adoption by Egyptian royals through his revolution against Pharaoh Ramses II (Joel Edgerton). Aaron Paul, Ben Kingsley, John Turturro and Sigourney Weaver. 20th Century Fox will release the film just before Christmas on December 12th.

This looks really entertaining. It has everything a Biblical epic should have - hammy acting (or otherwise it would have been swallowed by OTT CGI), OTT CGI, epic scope, epic battles, epic areal shots of epic buildings and Batman as Moses. Bring it!
fishnets on Oct 1, 2014
Finally someone has a "realistic" view of how these movies should look and how they should be interpreted !!
Tester on Oct 1, 2014
Thank you! ♥ BTW, Hollywood did try to make realistic movies out of myths and that was fuckin awful. King Arthur, Troy, nuff said.
I'm really excited for this. It looks amazing.
David Diaz on Oct 1, 2014
I know, right? It was a giant shark and 3 tornados...Biblical Sharknado! And scorpions eating a sleeping beauty. And 2 armies charging at each other in front of a tsunami. This is what entertainment is about. So good.♥
Huh? Sharks, scorpions...what're you talking about? And the two "armies" shouldn't be charging. In the Bible, the slaves were fleeing while the Egyptians were chasing. Which is why only they got consumed in the sea. The trailer didn't show it, but I hope they show the massive tornado of fire God sent down to stop the Egyptians for the slaves to pass through the Red Sea.
JBrotsis on Oct 1, 2014
Shark is actually a croc, didn't you see that scene? Also, scorpions or some other bug swarm that girl on the bed.
Yea I saw the nile croc (see my own standalone comment). And those weren't scorpions or any kind of bug on the girl's bed, those were all frogs. In the Bible, of the seven plagues, two had swarms of animals: locust (which we see) and frogs (which we see). You even see the frogs hopping off her bed.
LOL, OK. They looked like The Mummy critters to me. Anyway, The Plague of the Croc totally sells this thing to me. So much fun. I expect great time at the cinema and re-watchability factor.
Trolling......
Guest on Oct 2, 2014
Move along....
Rock n Rollllll on Oct 2, 2014
"Didn't they tell you? You are not the hero we deserve, but the one we need right now." Sure it looks alright, but all the crocodiles have me worried a little.
Armitall on Oct 1, 2014
This actually looks pretty decent. Though I think Christian Bale as a pissed off Moses is hilarious.
Danimal on Oct 1, 2014
There were some funny moments but when Ramses asked if that was a threat and Moses shouts YES I thought that was pretty bad ass
Jon Odishaw on Oct 1, 2014
haha I agree, that was awesome
In sizzle reel that I've seen he shouted YES twice, like Yes! YESSSS!
Very excited. Even if it turns out to be just an AMAZING B-Movie.
DAVIDPD on Oct 1, 2014
As much as I despise the fact that Ramses is painted golden brown and Christian Bale isn't exactly what most would consider a physical representation of Moses, this does not look half bad... Though I do believe I'll be choosing Inherent Vice over this one.. since they are released on the same weekend.

I wasn't that excited when I saw the first trailer but this one really got me excited. This truly looks like a "epic" of a film. Hope it turns out good.

Beautiful. Looks glorious!
NathanDewey on Oct 1, 2014
Yes the plagues are going to be awesome to see, of course! But I'm stoked to see that footage of the Nile crocodile!
Looks pretty fun.
and nothing more... which means: another generic and shallow product...

The real question here is: Will the movie be a fantasy movie based on biblical mythology, or will christian(ity) Bale all believers together in the cinemas for this cgi GOD-show? I for my part don`t like the casting. I like the actors, but I do not like the roles and film they are cast for. Popcorn or prayer?
ErrorSapiens on Oct 1, 2014
Well the story of Moses does appear in the Quran and the Torah, so it isn't exclusively a Christian (Bale) story. I'll take the popcorn this time. I have yet to see a great Moses film of the modern era.
Quanah on Oct 1, 2014
Why is that the real question? Really who cares? This is a movie based on a story thats based on some other made up story. The only thing that matters is if its a good movie or not.
Sascha Dikiciyan on Oct 1, 2014
Well somebody cares, and somebody doesn`t care.. thats actually less interesting 😉 I care because it`s never gonna be good if its made to strengthen belief in the made up book. Id like it to be "popcorn take" on a book too many take to seriously, and some few interpret into an ugly abuse of manipulation and power. Id like a tounge in cheek, dark as night popcorn movie take on that story. Its kinda of cynical, I know .. but I want movies made for me, not for you 🙂 misunderstand me right 😉
I know it sounds stupid but I was expecting some sort of restraint in the trailer. Showing all the "wow" moments seems like it cheapens the movie. Also I'm not really convinced about this one. I gotta be honest.
Huck PS on Oct 1, 2014
Showing all the "wow" moments seems like it cheapens the movie.
Totally. I contemplated stopping the trailer every few seconds in the entire second half. I'll just not watch this trailer again now hoping I'll forget enough of it by the time the movie is released. Same reason I haven't watched any Interstellar trailers since the first one (real trailer, not teaser). I don't want it to be a predictable film. Even closed my eyes and plugged my ears when it came on in the theater.
Tyler Hayes on Oct 9, 2014
Wow... But couldn't they get actual animals to play the parts of the CG creatures? I'm offended.
Jonathan on Oct 1, 2014
just another epic white washed film...smh
Liam Knurtsis on Oct 1, 2014
So insightful Dr. PC.
LightningB on Oct 1, 2014
i know, what was even more insightful was how much fire Mr. Scott came under because of this issue...and even firstshowing said he made a vague excuse to why, this flick is dammed like the plot #facts
Awfffful lotta Caucasians.
grimjob on Oct 1, 2014
I love Ridley Scott movies!!!
Oh no, hell no... However, I would finally like some heretical interpretation of it...
Totally fed up with this continual racist rants on a film that nobody has seen yet, but because a FEW of the lead characters are white (check out the complete cast list to see its full of NON EUROPEAN WHITES). its assumed Ridley Scott is a racist. How ignorant and insulting. Racists come in all colours, if you don't intend on seeing this film then dont but stop commenting on it. Go and comment on real problems of inequality, greed etc in the world, its full of it. Ridley Scott is a genuis director and has the magic eye and this looks amazing.

(Reuters) - Tommy Fleetwood hit a 400-yard-plus drive that took a hard bounce and rolled on and on and over the green on a par-four hole en route to a share of the first round lead at the British Masters in Surrey on Thursday.
He was apologetic after surprising the preceding group that was still on the green when the ball trundled up onto the putting surface and beyond at the par-four seventh hole at Walton Heath.
"That was a surprise, that one," said Fleetwood, whose five-under-par 67 matched fellow Englishmen Eddie Pepperell and Matt Wallace.
Fleetwood has been a busy man since playing a major role in Europe's victory at the Ryder Cup in Paris 11 days ago.
He finished tied for second at last week's Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland, before heading back south to tee up this week outside London.
"I'm by no means the freshest I've ever been," Fleetwood said.
Fleetwood shared the lead with two players who narrowly failed to make the European Ryder Cup team.
Before arriving in Surrey, Pepperell had never experienced the joys of scoring a hole-in-one on the European Tour.
On Thursday, he finally knew how it felt.
"It's amazing," Pepperell said after his ball somehow ended up in the cup at the par-three ninth, with even slow motion television replays failing to confirm exactly how.
He followed that ace with another eagle two holes later at the par-five 11th.
Wallace, a three-times winner on the European Tour this year, said he had been buoyed after having a chat with victorious Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn earlier this week.
Bjorn overlooked Wallace for any of his four wildcard picks, deciding instead to go with veterans.
"He said probably one of the nicest things someone has ever said to me as a golfer, but I won't say what that is because it's between me and him," Wallace said referring to his conversation with Bjorn.
It was not such a great day for tournament host Justin Rose, the world number two, who blamed poor putting for his 74.

Stephanie was born into a family of educators and grew up listening to stories about children who were poor, often came to school hungry, and lived in very difficult circumstances. These same children returned to an empty house after school and remained there alone for several hours and sometimes overnight. The stories Stephanie heard were rooted in child abuse, domestic violence, and mental illness.
These stories shaped and informed Stephanie's work as an attorney and social activism. Stephanie has represented children who are abused, neglected, and dependent, worked on initiatives to support victims of domestic violence, and developed other programs to empower women and girls.
Stephanie openly shares her personal story to encourage and inspire others. She tirelessly advocates to remove the stigma associated with having a mental illness. In October 2013, Stephanie talked about the importance of openly embracing life's hard and difficult places at TedxColumbus 2013. Stephanie blogs for The Huffington Post and is a Reporter for The Shriver Report. Her work can also be found on several online platforms including: Medium.com, MariaShriver.com, Project Eve, and Mamapedia. In May 2015, Stephanie will tell her story about living with a mental illness as a cast member of This Is My Brave.
As an African American woman parenting alone with little to no support, I know something about grace. Time and again grace, meaning unmerited favor, has intervened and sustained me through each difficult challenge that I have faced. One recent experience illustrates my point.


It's been a while since my last post as I took some time off to enjoy the birth of our third child over the holidays and to manage a recent doubling of my client base.
In looking at my clients, I've made a few observations which I'd like to point out — observations that tie into the current Olympic games as you'll see in a moment.
Roughly half of my clients grew around 80% – 100% in 2009. I have two clients pacing at 200% – 350% growth in 2010 (from low 7 figures to high 7 figures/low 8 figures).
In looking at my clients growth and the growth in my own business, I've noticed a distinct pattern that few people talk about.
The people that achieve this kind of sales and profit growth in this kind of economy are, well, not normal people.
It's not that they exceptionally talented (though they definitely do have their talents).
Rather, it's that they are so freakin stubborn!
Yes, in my humble opinion, this one trait is arguable as important, if not more important, than talent, IQ, or EQ.
The persistently determined will always find a way to win.
I've been watching the Olympics these past few days and it has been utterly fascinating to watch the human drama and psychology of what is normally considered an athletic event.
You see it is not the most physically gifted athlete that wins Gold at the Olympics. It is the most mentally tough and determined that does.
When they stakes are high, when you have dreamed for your entire life for the next 30 seconds… it comes down to who is able to relentless focus at the task at hand.
My wife loves, just absolute loves, to watch the figure skating events. I loved how the Chinese pairs skaters FINALLY won Gold after an 18 year career, lots of world championships, but no Olympic medal… heck, they even came out of retirement at the age of 31 and 36 to do it!
And to boot, to win Gold that had to end a 46 year Olympic Gold win streak amongst the Russians… and they did. Amazing!
They wanted gold REALLY BAD. And they got it. I love it.
In more recent drama, I've been watching how in the men's figure skating event, the Russian skater is totally talking smack to the American skater.
Basically, the Russian guy (currently first place) is apparently famous for landing quad jumps – 4 rotations in the air or something along those lines.
The American (currently 2nd place) has opted to not include any quads in his program – he has difficulty hitting them consistently and last time he did one he broke his foot. So he's aiming to hit everything else perfectly.
So the Russian is totally trying to psych the American out… in as polite a way as possible (it is figure skating after all) he's basically calling the American a wuss for not throwing a quad.
We'll see who's mentally tougher, but I gotta say the Russian as annoying as he is I think has the edge. We'll see who wants it more tomorrow.
If you're watching the Olympics, I definitely encourage you to pay attention to the whole psychological aspect of the games. It really is quite instructive and can be applied to your business.

You keep breathing..one breath at a time. You focus on the good things there are to life, no matter how insignificant...the butter on your toast in the morning..how it tastes on your tongue..things like that...the birds you hear chirping...little things add up to big things over time...you recognize that you have a purpose here...and you live up to that purpose...you find peace within yourself...and you go on..
I'd also add to take care of yourself. Start with the basics...drink water, take a shower, brush your teeth, eat your meals. Take a little walk.
Even when it feels like everything is falling apart around you and you're in total despair, anything you can do to take care of yourself makes a difference.
And sometimes you'll just need to stay in bed and cry and let the pain wash over you. Wrap your arms around yourself as you cry and love yourself as best you can.
take one day at a time hun..talk when you need to talk cry when you need to cry..and if you need to scream and shout make it as loud as you can.and when you need us we will be here!!
Take deep breaths and live life day to day.. moment to moment. Don't worry about yesturday or tomorrow. Take it all one step and a time.

Alcohol Accounts for 4% of Newly Diagnosed Cancers Worldwide
Liam Davenport
Alcohol consumption accounted for 4% of all cancers diagnosed worldwide in 2020, with three quarters of these cancers occurring in men. The most common cancer locations were the esophagus, liver, and breast.
The finding comes from an analysis carried out by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. It was published online in The Lancet Oncology on July 13.
"We urgently need to raise awareness about the link between alcohol consumption and cancer risk among policymakers and the general public," said lead author Harriet Rumgay, BSc, Cancer Surveillance Branch, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, France.
"Public health strategies, such as reduced alcohol availability, labeling alcohol products with a health warning, and marketing bans, could reduce rates of alcohol-driven cancer," she added. She noted that taxation and pricing policies already in place in Europe could be implemented worldwide.
Commenting on the study, Mark Petticrew, professor of public health evaluation at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, United Kingdom, agreed that there is a need to raise public awareness about this risk. There is "a lot of misinformation out there, some from the alcohol industry itself.
"The public needs clear, independent information, and this large, robust study makes a significant contribution to clarifying the risks," he added. It "provides further clear evidence that alcohol consumption contributes to a significant burden of cancer, particularly heavy drinking."
To estimate the burden of alcohol-attributable cancer, Rumgay and colleagues gathered cancer incidence data from GLOBOCAN 2020 for a range of cancers and for all cancers combined.
Assuming a 10-year latency period between alcohol consumption and cancer diagnosis, they examined per capita alcohol consumption estimates for 2010 from the Global Information System on Alcohol and Health. The estimates were stratified by age and sex.
The results suggested that 741,300 (4.1%) of all incident cancer cases in 2020 were attributable to alcohol consumption, with 568,700 (76.7%) of those cases occurring in men.
The age-standardized incidence rate of alcohol-attributable cancer was 13.4 per 100,000 in men and 3.7 per 100,000 in women.
The most common types of cancer attributable to alcohol consumption were esophageal cancer (189,700 cases; 31.6%), liver cancer (154,700 cases; 17.3%), and breast cancer (98,300 cases; 4.4%).
Heavy drinking (defined as >60 g/d), accounted for 46.7% of the alcool-attributable cancers. Risky drinking (defined as 20–60 g/d), accounted for 29.4%.
Moderate drinking (<20 g/d, which is the equivalent of around two daily drinks) contributed 13.9% of cases of alcohol-attributable cancers.
The analysis also found that by region, the largest proportions of cancer cases attributable to drinking were in eastern Asia (5.7%) and in central and eastern Europe (5.6%). The lowest were in western Asia (0.7%) in northern Africa (0.3%).
At the country level, the estimated proportion of cancer cases attributable to alcohol was highest in Mongolia (10%) and lowest in Kuwait (0%).
In China, the estimated proportion of cancer cases linked to alcohol was 6%. In India and France, it was 5%; in Germany, Brazil, and the United Kingdom, 4%; and in the United States, 3%.
Regarding gender differences in cancer rates, the team writes that "increases in alcohol consumption in women have been reported as women have taken on a larger share of paid employment.
"This finding is clearly reflected in countries highly indexed in development, where we saw the highest burden of alcohol-attributable cancers in women and the most similar male-to-female ratios of alcohol-attributable cancer rates.
"In these regions, breast cancer was the main driver of the high alcohol-attributable cancer incidence rates among women," they add.
In an accompanying comment, Amy C. Justice, MD, PhD, from the Department of Medicine and Health Policy and Management, Yale University, West Haven, Connecticut, said that the results are "useful," but she questioned how alcohol consumption was measured.
"Until we address limitations in measurement, we might be underestimating health risks, especially cancer risks, associated with alcohol," she warned.
The use of commercial alcohol sales to estimate consumption has "major limitations," and the use of self-report is "worse," she said.
"Furthermore, neither commercial sales nor current self-report reflect past alcohol consumption," which has "especially important implications for genetic studies...and for understanding associations between alcohol use and cancers that commonly have extended latency periods.
"Surely, we can do a better job," said Justice.
She suggests measuring direct alcohol biomarkers, such as phosphatidylethanol, which is an "abnormal" phospholipid that forms in the presence of ethanol and bonds to red blood cells.
Measuring levels over time, "coupled with a careful history of use," such as one based on a biomarker, could help determine not only current but also past alcohol exposure.
"We do not ask people with diabetes what their glycosylated hemoglobin is, we check it," Justice pointed out.
"Then we discuss their risk of adverse health outcomes informed by the test results and their personal risk profile. We should use a similar approach to counseling patients regarding risk from alcohol," she said.
Commenting for the UK Science Media Center, Sadie Boniface, PhD, head of research at the Institute of Alcohol Studies, King's College London, London, United Kingdom, described the new analysis as "comprehensive and well-designed."
She added that the results are "in line with other studies, and scientists already knew that alcohol causes seven types of cancer," including cancer of the breast, esophagus, mouth, and throat.
However, this risk has not been well communicated to the general public, she said. In the United Kingdom, a forthcoming consultation on alcohol labeling represents a "real opportunity" to help consumers to "make fully informed decisions about their drinking."
Beyond labeling, the authors' recommendations on policies to target alcohol pricing, availability, and marketing are needed as "part a comprehensive alcohol strategy in the wake of the pandemic" to address the burden of alcohol, she added.
No funding for the study has been described. Boniface reports working at the Institute of Alcohol Studies, which receives funding from the Alliance House Foundation. No other relevant financial relationships were reported.
