The Southern Ocean, also known as the Great Southern Ocean, the Antarctic Ocean and the South Polar Ocean, comprises the southernmost waters of the World Ocean south of 60° S latitude. The International Hydrographic Organization has designated the Southern Ocean as an oceanic division encircling Antarctica. Geographers disagree on the Southern Ocean's northern boundary or even its existence (see below), sometimes considering the waters part of the South Pacific, South Atlantic, and Indian Oceans instead.
Some scientists consider the Antarctic Convergence, an ocean zone which fluctuates seasonally, as separating the Southern Ocean from other oceans, rather than 60° S. This ocean zone is where cold, northward flowing waters from the Antarctic mix with warmer sub-Antarctic waters.
The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) regards the Southern Ocean as the fourth-largest of the five principal oceanic divisions and the latest-defined one. The IHO promulgated the decision on its existence in 2000, though many mariners have long regarded the term as traditional. The Southern Ocean appeared in the IHO's Limits of Oceans and Seas second edition (1937), disappeared from the third edition (1957), and resurfaced in the fourth edition (not yet[update] formally adopted due to a number of unresolved disputes, including the lodgement of a reservation by Australia). This change reflects the importance placed by oceanographers on ocean currents.[clarification needed]

Elvis Costello Makes Public Service Announcement for Music-Based Alzheimer's Charity
The battle that Elvis Costello's grandmother had with Alzheimer's disease fueled his 1989 hit "Veronica." Now, he's lending his voice to a charity that helps Alzheimer's patients by creating unique playlists of songs that could possibly reconnect them to their memories.
Dan Cohen founded Music & Memory in 2010 after he brought iPods to nursing homes and noticed that those suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia and noted the positive response. "We found that, in general, people were less agitated," he told Rolling Stone. "They were more cooperative, more attentive, more engaged, in less pain and more articulate. ... Grandparents will not remember people's names, and people with advanced dementia tend to get to a point where they can't recognize their own family. They may not be able to communicate with words, but they will recognize that music."
Costello, who made a public service announcement for Music & Memory (embedded above), witnessed the power of music when his father, who died in 2011, was suffering from Parkinson's-related dementia. "I insisted that an iPad playing his favorite music – and scrolling an album of family photographs – be visible and audible to him during his waking hours," he said. "At times when little else penetrated his torments and distress, it was music rather than spoken word that reached him. On a few occasions, he emerged through an apparent fog to state the identity of a singer or gather a tune in a voice that was still surprisingly melodious and true at a time when his speech was reduced to a hoarse whisper."
Upon learning of Music & Memory, Costello reached out to help. "It was clear to me that the charity is offering that same possibility of solace and comfort [as in my family], and the little that I was asked to do [to support it] was a task readily undertaken."

The first images of the newest superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have hit the internet — and they look a lot different than anticipated.
New images from an Atlanta film set show the Academy Award-winning actress fully suited up as Captain Marvel, aka Air Force pilot Carol Danvers. You can get a look at the leaked images for yourself care of Page Six.
Comic book fans will notice a major difference between Larson's costume here and the way Captain Marvel is usually depicted in comic books — namely, it's so green. As Captain Marvel, Carol's colors have largely always been red, gold, and blue, with her Ms. Marvel costume being a more revealing black and yellow.
There is plenty of history in the Captain Marvel comic books for the emerald suit, however — just not with the Carol Danvers version. Green is the color most typically associated with Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel, who is set to be played in the upcoming movie by Jude Law.
Carol received her superpowers due to a disastrous experience that fused her human DNA with DNA of the Kree, a spacefaring alien species of which Mar-Vell is a member. Could this be an early version of the suit, obtained shortly after Carol gets her powers? Or is this her new look for the movie, an homage to the hero who came before her? Either way, it's an awesome look — if a little bit unexpected.


What does every bestselling book, chart-topping song and top-grossing movie have in common?The answer is simple: Love.
Love is the common thread that runs through the most popular works of every art form. We, as a culture, are fixated on love (it even has its own holiday!). Everyone wants to love and be loved. It's almost as if we were created FOR love, which would make sense because, as Scripture tells us, God IS love.
The Bible is a record of God's love and care in the lives of mankind, even when they didn't deserve it. Love Letters: Dynamic Relationships in God's Word will allow learners to explore a variety of letters and writings from both the Old and New Testament that show how God's love covers everything we as believers encounter in our lives.

Being in debt and having numerous legal charges is never the best thing for anyone, but faking your death to get out of them, that's just ridiculous. It's crazy finding out that people have actually done this and continue to do it, but in the end it's never really worked out for them. They always get found by the police and have to face their charges and debts. Check out this list of 10 people who tried to fake their own deaths and failed.
One-time multimillionaire businessman Harry Gordon disappeared on a boating trip near Sydney in 2000, he was presumed dead as they had couldn't find his body. But in 2005 it was found that he had taken a rubber dinghy and hid in Sydney. Gordon remarried in 2005 and after their honeymoon, his first wife decided to call the police to tell them that she had known what had happened to him, she was then arrested and sentenced to five months of house arrest for pretending he was dead. Gordon spent a year in prison, after a year of being out of prison he published a book called "The Harry Gordon Story: How I Faked My Own Death".
In 2010, Michael Rosen was due in court for driving with a suspended license. Instead of going to court as himself, he pretended to be his brother and say that Michael was actually dead, handing a death certificate to the judge. After much investigation, the police found that Rosen had just found a death certificate template online and filled in his own information. He was then arrested, convicted and sentence to three years imprisonment.

Troops to begin Syria pullout, White House says
Key Trump ally calls withdrawal 'Obama-like mistake.'
"We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency," U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday | Win McNamee/Getty Images
By David Brown and Wesley Morgan
December 19, 2018 6:23 pm CET
The White House announced on Wednesday that the U.S. has defeated the Islamic State in Syria and that some of the 2,000 U.S. troops battling the terrorist group will begin coming home.
"We have started returning United States troops home as we transition to the next phase of this campaign," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement, while also denying media reports that a full U.S. troop pullout was underway.
"These victories over ISIS in Syria do not signal the end of the Global Coalition or its campaign," she added, saying U.S. forces will continue working "to deny radical Islamist terrorists territory, funding, support, and any means of infiltrating our borders."
The statement capped off a morning of conflicting news reports about the timing and extent of the withdrawal, along with apparent confusion between the Pentagon and the White House on the next moves.

The Wall Street Journal first reported that troops would be pulled from northeastern Syria, then all of Syria, before other outlets reported it was merely a proposal.
As the reports were coming in President Donald Trump tweeted that the U.S. has defeated ISIS in Syria, calling the goal "my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency."
Last week coalition spokesman Col. Sean Ryan said the terror group has reached its "end of days" but added that "they still have the capability for coordinated attacks, and the fight is not over."
The developments drew swift criticism from a key Trump ally and leading hawk, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a member of the Armed Services Committee.
"If these media reports are true, it will be an Obama-like mistake made by the Trump Administration," said a statement issued by his office. "While American patience in confronting radical Islam may wane, the radical Islamists' passion to kill Americans and our allies never wavers.
"An American withdrawal at this time would be a big win for ISIS, Iran, Bashar al Assad of Syria, and Russia," Graham added. "I fear it will lead to devastating consequences for our nation, the region, and throughout the world."
The Pentagon appeared to be caught off-guard by the plan.
"At this time, we continue to work by, with and through our partners in the region," spokesman Col. Rob Manning said.
But a withdrawal would make good on Trump's earlier promise to pull troops from Syria, and comes after Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke on the phone last week.
U.S. troops are aiding Syrian Democratic Forces in the fight against ISIS. Those forces include Kurdish fighters, whom Turkey considers terrorists.
Trump's call with Erdogan resulted in a flurry of notifications to the Syrian Democratic Forces over the past two days, according to a person familiar with the administration's current Syria deliberations, SDF officers on the battlefield were told to prepare for the departure of their American military advisers.
"Trump's guidance after the call was 'end this now,'" the person said, adding that the U.S. envoy to the Syria conflict, James Jeffrey, "tried to slow-roll it and was stomped on by POTUS."
Also after the call the U.S. military set up observation posts this week aimed at ensuring that Kurdish fighters pose no threat to Turkey along its border.
And on Tuesday night, the State Department cleared the sale of Patriot missiles to Turkey in an attempt to persuade Ankara not to purchase the S-400 missile defense system from Russia.
The U.S. has threatened to kick Turkey out of the F-35 fighter jet program if it goes through with buying the Russian system. Turkey is preparing to buy 100 jets, and is part of the global supply chain for the aircraft. Trump has made the health of the F-35 program a priority.
"POTUS has been consistent" about his desire to pull out of Syria, the person familiar with the deliberations said. But the Pentagon and the State Department have all pushed for troops to stay.
"It's his staff that has given him mission creep," the person said.

The vision for the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) is to save lives and improve survival rates among cancer patients through the integration of cancer research, education and patient care in one combined facility.
Led by award-winning architecture studio McBride Charles Ryan, the design of the VCCC reflects the characteristics, aspirations, and cultural identity of the community and is intended to symbolise hope, health and wellbeing for those touched by cancer. The VCCC's focus on innovation and collaboration is reflected in its architecture where the façades of the building's disparate activities – in-patient units, same-day medical and allied health (clinical care), research laboratories, and the public realm – are merged into a single continuous form.

Property funding via contributions a grey area
SMSFs using contributions strategies to fund a property development may still trip over tax rules yet that are yet to be clarified.
SMSFs looking to develop property, but unable to source financing through a borrowing arrangement, may be able to use contribution caps to increase the fund's assets, but this could create other issues around tax, a technical specialist has said.
SuperGuardian education manager Tim Miller said where an SMSF was unable to access funding via a third-party borrowing arrangement, it may also be restricted from borrowing to buy units in a unit trust that would take on the property development due to related-party and safe-harbour provisions.
"It is here then that contribution caps can be relevant because we are looking at how we fund money into superannuation," Miller said during a recent SuperGuardian webinar, noting there were a number of measure that could be considered.
"Where does the bring-forward rules fit into this, as well as the transfer balance cap, now we are into $1.7 million at the top end and $1.48 million at the lower end of the bring-forward rules?
"What ability do we have to make contributions and what ability do we have for the smaller-balance funds to use carry-forward concessional contributions?"
He noted some SMSFs would also be able to use the small business capital gains tax rollover relief and then the retirement exemption to contribute $500,000, but added these strategies had to be questioned in light of recent ATO activity around investment strategies and non-arm's-length expenditure (NALE).
"With this last strategy there is a 15-year exemption that can be used, which is in contemplation of retirement, but again I came back to whether undertaking property development at the point of retirement is an appropriate investment strategy for the fund, given its liquidity needs and other issues," he said.
"With reference to what we have received previously from the commissioner [of taxation] versus what we've got now in relation to non-arm's-length income, I suspect the ATO is going to take a hard line towards NALE and there's every reason to suggest that they will based on the Law Companion Ruling they have released.
"When that happens a lot of historical rulings that we've received with reference to what is a contribution and acquiring an asset from related party, and the difference between a service and an asset and therefore paying for that service, all those areas are going to funnel into the NALE area and become an important issue for us to contemplate."

Your BSD Online Program
I want to introduce you to something new. I originally wrote "The 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet" because I wanted to tell people about pioneering work showing how you can dramatically improve blood sugar control through a rapid weight loss diet. Many people have found the Blood Sugar Diet, and the accompanying Recipe Book, life changing.
Others, however, contacted me to ask if there was a way to get more detailed support and guidance. They liked the book but they wanted more. So I'm delighted to say that a group of doctors, nutrition and exercise specialists, who I know and respect, have created a Blood Sugar Diet online programme. It's for those who want to reclaim their health but feel they need more support to get started and to follow through.
It's a 12 week programme, because for some people 8 weeks is not enough. It includes detailed meal plans, shopping lists, calorie counted recipes, educational handouts, inspirational videos and a medically supervised forum.
The online programme also includes a much more detailed guide to effective forms of exercise, all of which are safe to do and scientifically based.
Hundreds of people have already done the programme, have lost lots of weight and managed to dramatically improve their blood sugar levels. I think this is a really welcome development and, along with the doctors, I will be following people's progress with great interest.
* Results may vary from person to person.
How to Lose Weight Fast and Beat Blood Sugars, an online program with medical support, is an innovative guide to The Blood Sugar Diet. Any advice given by the supporting doctors and advisors on this forum is general advice only. It is not meant as a substitute for care by your usual health professional, who should be consulted for all symptoms outside this program. This program is offered by HealthLab Online and is based on the work by Dr Michael Mosley presented in his international, best-selling book, The 8-week Blood Sugar Diet.

'Dirty Fashion' file exhibits pollution in big manufacturers' deliver chains
Some of the sector's biggest style brands are using a fiber whose production may be relatively risky and polluting, new research shows. Dirty Fashion, a document published final week via the Changing Markets Foundation, famous that style brands consisting of H&M, Zara, and Marks & Spencer, are buying viscose from incredibly polluting factories in Asia to apply in their garments. Although viscose (also called Rayon) is frequently touted as an 'eco-fiber' or a green preference for consumers, its production uses a cocktail of risky chemical substances that could harm humans and ecosystems if they may be released into the surroundings.
It is normally crafted from timber pulp and different plant-based totally cellulose. The investigation by using Changing Markets uncovered evidence that factories are doing just that: dumping untreated wastewater into neighborhood lakes and waterways, which's having a devastating effect on local groups. Villagers have stopped drinking infected groundwater, and in a few cases, they could now not swim or fish in neighborhood rivers and lakes. This becomes a commonplace subject matter in all nations visited for the investigation, which protected plant life by using fabric giants consisting of Sateri and Tangshan Sanyou in China; India's Aditya Birla Group; and Austria's Lenzing (in Indonesia).

The Changing Markets investigation in China centered on factories within the eastern provinces of Hebei, Jiangxi, and Shandong. The investigation group found air and water pollutants, evidence of worker fatalities within the factories, and stories of extreme health impacts on citizens residing in the vicinity of the plant life. Downwind of 1 plant, hydrogen sulfide stages are 12 instances over the countrywide restrict in China, causing an excessive rotten egg-like scent in close-by cities. China produces greater than 65 according to cent of the global viscose supply. Major brands, together with H&M, Zara, Tesco, and M&S, had been discovered to be shopping for from some of the factories investigated.
At a website in Madhya Pradesh, India, villagers mentioned devastating impacts on health, including cases of most cancers and birth deformities suspected to be resulting from business pollution in their water delivery. Soybean farmer Kallu Singh's 3 children were born healthful; however, they began to show signs of intellectual and bodily deterioration between the ages of 10 and 12. Singh and his own family life in the imperative Indian region of Madhya Pradesh, at the banks of the Chambal River. They are located downstream from one of the international's biggest producers of viscose, Grasim Industries, owned by using multinational conglomerate Aditya Birla Group, that's promoting its viscose to H&M, Inditex, Asos, Next, United Colours of Benetton, Burton, Docker's and Levi's – to name just a few.
Other villagers said seeing darkish black water with streaks of pink and an intense smell of rotting radishes coming from the Grasim plant, indicating the presence of carbon disulfide, an endocrine-disrupting chemical related to neurological disorders with Parkinson's, coronary heart ailment, and continual skin conditions. Industrial waste from the Grasim website online in Nagda was also recognized as the primary source of pollutants inside the Chambal River, a tributary of the Ganges, with the aid of the National Mission to Clean Ganga (Ganges). Without tackling pollutants within the Ganges' tributaries, cleaning up this superb river could be an impossible assignment.
The viscose industry is likewise polluting rivers in Indonesia. Two of Indonesia's largest viscose factories are located in West Java, on the banks of the Citarum River, which has been referred to as the maximum polluted river inside the international. Villagers were discovered washing intermediary viscose merchandise in the river on behalf of producers, immediately exposing themselves to poisonous chemical substances contained within the fiber and including to the waterway's already vast pollution load. These two factories sell to a range of manufacturers, including H&M, Eileen Fisher, and M & M&S.
These are unsavory findings; however, because of the document highlights, an alternative is feasible. Viscose is not an inherently unsustainable fiber. The technology already exists to allow factories to provide viscose with a discounted amount of poisonous chemical compounds and a 'closed loop' machine that captures and recycles chemical substances used, removing lethal pollutants. Major style brands can and should use their substantial influence on paintings with producers to obtain this. The style enterprises deliver chain is notoriously complicated, however less so when it comes to the manufacturing of viscose: just eleven businesses manipulate seventy-five in keeping with the scent of the global marketplace, which means that there's a clear opportunity for fast and transformational change throughout the arena.
Many manufacturers, consisting of H&M, Inditex, ASOS, and Stella McCartney, are already engaging with these viscose manufacturers on their wooden pulp sourcing policies through the CanopyStyle initiative, spearheaded with the aid of Canadian NGO Canopy. The initiative seeks to position a prevent deforestation linked with viscose production. This speech can be elevated to consist of water pollution and chemical use in viscose production. Innovative techniques to viscose production using fewer chemical compounds in a closed-loop manufacturing machine need to be taken to scale and rolled out enterprise-wide; large brands can play a key function on this method by wielding their considerable energy to create lasting change.
Changing Markets is looking for retailers and brands to enforce a strict 0-pollutants coverage within their viscose supply chain, with ordinary auditing of suppliers to make sure they agree to excessive production standards. With the call for projected to almost double by way of 2030 and viscose being touted because of the 'fiber of the future, there is a clear need for viscose to emerge as-as green as it is advertised as being.

Anatomical terminology
[edit on Wikidata]
The bulbourethral glands or Cowper's glands (named for English anatomist William Cowper) are two small exocrine glands in the reproductive system of many male mammals (of all domesticated animals, they are absent only in dogs).[1] They are homologous to Bartholin's glands in females. The bulbouretheral glands are responsible for producing a pre-ejaculate fluid called Cowper's fluid (known colloquially as pre-ejaculate or pre-cum), which is secreted during sexual arousal, neutralizing the acidity of the urethra in preparation for the passage of sperm cells.[2]
Location[edit]
Bulbourethral glands are located posterior and lateral to the membranous portion of the urethra at the base of the penis, between the two layers of the fascia of the urogenital diaphragm, in the deep perineal pouch. They are enclosed by transverse fibers of the sphincter urethrae membranaceae muscle.

The bulbourethral glands are compound tubulo-alveolar glands, each approximately the size of a pea in humans. In chimpanzees, they are not visible during dissection, but can be found on microscopic examination.[3] In boars, they are up to 18 cm long and 5 cm in diameter.[1] They are composed of several lobules held together by a fibrous covering. Each lobule consists of a number of acini, lined by columnar epithelial cells, opening into a duct that joins with the ducts of other lobules to form a single excretory duct. This duct is approximately 2.5 cm long and opens into the bulbar urethra at the base of the penis. The glands gradually diminish in size with advancing age.[4][unreliable source]
Function[edit]
Secretory fluid from the bulbourethral glands appearing on the glans of a human penis
The bulbourethral gland contributes up to 4 ml of fluid during sexual arousal.[5] The secretion is a clear fluid rich in mucoproteins that help to lubricate the distal urethra and neutralize acidic urine which remains in the urethra.
According to one preliminary study, the bulbourethral gland fluid might not contain any sperm,[6] whereas another study showed some men did leak sperm in potentially significant quantities (in a range from low counts up to 50 million sperm per ml) into the pre-ejaculatory fluid,[5] potentially leading to conception from the introduction of pre-ejaculate. However, the sperm source is a residual or pre-ejaculatory leak from the testicles into the vas deferens,[5] rather than from the bulbourethral gland itself.[6]

Wildfire smoke leaves Oakland A's pitcher gasping for air during Seattle Mariners game
SEATTLE, WA - SEPTEMBER 14: Wildfire smoke fills the air during the second game of a doubleheader between the Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics at T-Mobile Park on September 14, 2020 in Seattle, Washington.

(CNN) — Oakland A's pitcher Jesús Luzardo said he was "gasping for air" during his start on Monday in Seattle because of poor air quality caused by wildfires that have devastated the region.
A smoky haze could be seen in T-Mobile Park for the doubleheader between the A's and Mariners, even though the stadium's retractable roof was closed for the game.
Luzardo was pulled from the game after giving up four runs in the fifth inning and the A's ended up losing 6-5. The A's won Game 2 9-0.
He didn't blame the air quality for his performance, but said he could feel it on the mound, when asked by reporters.
"I'm a healthy 22-year-old. I shouldn't be gasping for air, or missing oxygen when I'm kind of getting to the line. I'll leave it at that," he said.
A's outfielder Ramón Laureano could be seen wearing a mask in center field.
The Air Quality Index reached 290 on Monday evening, which is considered "Very Unhealthy," according to AirNow.gov. Anything above 301 is considered "Hazardous."
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said that "virtually the entire state is covered by a cloud of smoke that's unbelievably irritating, downright unhealthy and dangerous."
There are nine major wildfires burning in the state, according to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. The two largest fires — the Pearl Hill and Cold Springs fires — had collectively burned more than 412,500 acres, as of Monday.
The fires are blamed for dozens of deaths in Washington, California and Oregon.
Wildfire smoke can contain particles of burning vegetation and building materials mixed with gases.
Exposure can cause chest pain, a fast heartbeat or wheezing or bring on an asthma
