The 101 Most Motivational Teamwork Quotes
By Steve Mueller Last edit:	 February 10th, 2020 Quotes
One dedicated person can move a mountain. An entire team of committed individuals with a burning desire for a mutual cause can change the entire world. In fact, it's the only thing that has ever changed the world. Behind every major endeavor, there's a team whose spark has been ignited by a common vision. Let's celebrate teamwork by having a look at some of the most inspirational teamwork quotes ever. Enjoy reading!
Wherever the spirit of teamwork has transformed individual actors into resilient and flexible teams, success is only a matter of time. At the same time, great teamwork is not necessarily best defined as a group of people working harmoniously together. Instead, excellent teamwork is characterized by a wide variety of different dimensions. Harmony within the team may not always be the defining element.
"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships."
For example, great teams are pushing each other to the limit. In some cases, this can get pretty rough – at least for external bystanders. Similarly, excellent teams are also characterized by individuals who are willing to put the team first and their personal interests second. This may not always be as glamorous as many imagine good teamwork to be – but it's what helps teams to excel.
Time and time again, history has shown that it's not always the most talented teams that have managed to accomplish greatness. There are many cases in which an un-homogeneous group of skilled individuals was beaten by less brilliant teams that have perfected the art of teamwork.

That's how I see business: great things in business are never done by one person, they're done by a team of people."
"A group becomes a team when each member is sure enough of himself and his contribution to praise the skills of others."
Norman Shidle

Announcing the 2014 UCD NAS Graduate Student Symposium keynote speaker for Friday April 18, 2014! Join us at our luncheon to hear from Dr. Mishuana Goeman on "Routed Stories and Native geographies: Land, Water and Body"
Keynote Luncheon: Routed Stories and Native geographies: Land, Water and Body -- Dr. Mishuana Goeman (Tonawanda Band of Seneca), Associate Professor and Vice Chair of Gender Studies Department, UCLA
Dr. Mishuana Goeman, Tonawanda Band of Seneca, is an Associate Professor and Vice Chair of Gender Studies Department at the University of California, Los Angeles. She received her doctorate from Stanford University's Modern Thought and Literature and was a UC Presidential Post-doctoral fellow at Berkeley. Her book, Mark My Words: Native Women Mapping Our Nations( University of Minnesota Press, 2013) was honored at the American Association for Geographic Perspectives on Women. Currently she is also part of a grant on Mapping Indigenous L.A. that is working toward creating a community oriented mobile application that decolonizes the LA landscape. Mishuana Goeman provides feminist interventions into an analysis of colonial spatial restructuring of Native lands and bodies in the twentieth century. Through an examination of the ways that Native women's art, film, poetry and prose reveal settler colonialism in North America as an enduring form of gendered spatial violence, she continually ask how rigid spatial categories, such as nations, borders, reservations, and urban areas are formed by settler nation-states structuring of space.

Element odwrotny jest uogólnieniem pojęcia odwrotności liczby.

Niech  oznacza działanie dwuargumentowe w zbiorze  Element  nazywa się elementem odwrotnym do  jeżeli spełnione są dwa warunki:

gdzie  oznacza element neutralny działania

Jeżeli działanie  zapisywane jest za pomocą symboli  itp. w celu zaznaczenia jego addytywności, to element odwrotny nazywamy przeciwnym i używamy oznaczenia  Nazwa odwrotny używana jest w przypadku notacji multiplikatywnej, tj. gdy działanie oznaczamy symbolem zarezerwowanym dla mnożenia:  itp. i oznaczamy

Elementy jednostronne
Często rozważa się element odwrotny lewostronny do danego, gdy spełniony jest jedynie pierwszy warunek i element odwrotny prawostronny, jeżeli spełniony jest wyłącznie drugi warunek. "Zwykły" element odwrotny nazywa się wtedy elementem odwrotnym obustronnym.

Dany element może mieć wiele elementów odwrotnych prawostronnych i lewostronnych jednocześnie, i nie muszą one być sobie równe! Jeśli jednak działanie jest łączne i dany element ma element odwrotny lewostronny i element odwrotny prawostronny to, są one sobie równe i element ten jest elementem odwrotnym obustronnym. A więc jeśli istnieje, element odwrotny jest tylko jeden.

W większości ważnych praktycznie struktur algebraicznych jak grupy i ciała zwykle postuluje się, aby za pewnymi wyjątkami każdy element był odwracalny.

Przykłady
 Niech  będzie dodawaniem liczb rzeczywistych. Elementem odwrotnym do liczby  jest liczba  Mamy bowiem:  oraz  (zero jest elementem neutralnym dodawania).
 Jeżeli  jest mnożeniem liczb rzeczywistych, to elementem odwrotnym do liczby  jest liczba  bo  (jedynka jest elementem neutralnym mnożenia).
Ostatni przykład pokazuje, że nie każdy element musi mieć element odwrotny – liczba zero nie ma elementu odwrotnego względem mnożenia.

King's Bounty II delayed to August 24
No longer due out in March.
Feb 11 2021 / 2:17 PM EST
Publisher Deep Silver and developer 1C Entertainment have delayed King's Bounty II from its previously planned March release window to August 24, the companies announced during the Epic Games Store Spring Showcase. It will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam.
"As a team, we had to make the difficult decision to move King's Bounty II's release to a later point in 2021 to ensure the team has adequate time to deliver the best possible King's Bounty experience," said 1C Entertainment CEO Nikolay Baryshnikov in a press release.
King's Bounty II producer Denis Maltzev added, "We are currently at a stage where the content is complete and playable, but we need more time to finish playtesting, fixing and polishing. The revised launch date will give us additional time for balancing, which is much needed for such an important project, with its ambitious open world, complex narrative and deep turn-based tactical and RPG mechanics.
"Seeing the love and passion that you, our fans, put behind this project, we are grateful for all your support and ask for a little more patience. We are hoping that this won't feel like a long delay and please make sure to keep an eye on our news channels to receive the latest updates as we approach the new release date."
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
Offering a fresh take on the acclaimed fantasy series, King's Bounty II expands upon its tactical turn-based battles to offer players a truly immersive RPG experience that adds weight to their every decision, whether leading an army into battle against unliving horrors, or building relations with local townsfolk. Experience a rich world that blends realism and fantasy, filled with compelling stories, memorable characters and moral choices aplenty!
Taking on the mantle of one of three heroes—each with their own unique story—players embark on a non-linear, open-world adventure across a detailed and densely-packed fantasy landscape. Split into two distinct phases, players traverse the realm from a third-person perspective, picking up quests, exploring the wilderness, and getting to know the people they meet. When conflict arises, however, the perspective shifts to tactical, turn-based combat. Players must then make smart use of their units as they fight to win.
Set in the vast realms of Antara, a great danger has arisen. A mysterious blight has descended upon its furthest reaches, corrupting the land and all who live there. Refugees from the affected regions have begun arriving in the kingdom of Nostria, putting food and resources in short supply. Once living souls, blight-distorted creatures now roam the countryside leaving chaos and destruction in their wake. The land itself fights for survival, giving your decisions greater weight than ever before. How will you forge Antara's future?
Interactive and cinematic story – Told through the lens of a highly cinematic experience, King's Bounty II puts choice in players' hands rather than their mouths. Embracing classic RPG traditions, players are frequently faced with difficult moral choices that have far-reaching consequences for the fate of the realm. But instead of hinging on simple dialogue choices, it is the players' actions that hold the true weight.
Landscape matters – When players enter combat, the battlefield directly reflects the specific part of the world map that they're traversing. This forces players to consider their surroundings before entering combat, to minimize potential risks or even try to give themselves the upper hand.
No more flat arenas – Realistic, volumetric battlefields are now an integral part of combat in King's Bounty II. Creating maximum tactical diversity, all manner of obstacles and features can be found on the combat maps, from ravines and hills to wagons and more. Every battle now has its own unique tactical advantages and disadvantages.
New character development system – King's Bounty II gives players three characters to choose from, each with their own unique story. As they explore the realm, their stories change as they align themselves with different ideals: Strength, Art, Order, and Anarchy. Not only do these choices affect how NPCs react to them, but they also have a tangible impact on the world.
Unique squads – Each squad consists of wholly unique units, each with their own set of skills and visual appearance. Instead of faceless recruits, players build armies of humans, elves, trolls, and other creatures who spend the majority of their adventure fighting side-by-side, developing lasting bonds.
Tactical depth on the battlefield – King's Bounty II introduces many new tactical features to the series, such as Line of Sight, for a deeper, richer combat experience. Surprise tactical events mid-battle will also keep players on their toes.
Unique blend of realism and fantasy – Experience a vast fantasy world that expertly blends beloved genre tropes with a gritty realism to ensure players remain grounded in this desperate, realm-wide struggle.

Federer is still undercooked and makes many mistakes. Of course, there are rallies that are up to his level, but in general the Swiss is not in his best.
Tomas Berdych has approached the first grand slam in a very good physical form. The only thing that may let him down is his mind play. The audience will definitely support Federer. Since 2010 Tomas has never outplayed Roger. And all in all the Swiss tennis is very uncomfortable for Berdych. Will the Czech survive the tough test?
Betting pick: In our view, Tomas is the favorite of the match, but you'd better hedge the bet during the match.
We are already on a winning track. Subscribe to our betting picks!
Lacko makes his own history in Australia but we don't believe he'll go any further. The Japanese gains speed and will sweep the opponent out from the court.
Betting pick: The match isn't worth betting on. The Slovak may fail the battle or win one set, for example.

De Jong poised to cheer Newcastle in wake of likely Cabaye exit
January 28, 2014 January 29, 2014 Paul Meadows	Leave a comment 310 views
Luuk de Jong is undergoing a medical ahead of his proposed move to Newcastle United, who look set to lose Yohan Cabaye to Paris St Germain.
The future of Cabaye has been of much speculation in recent months, dating back to the summer when he was keen to take advantage of Arsenal's interest in him. At the time the Magpies rejected a £10million offer from the Gunners, and despite his frustrations, the midfielder was soon back in the first team fold at St James Park.
Having enjoyed arguably his best season to date, the 28-year-old has more recently been linked with Manchester United and PSG. And after having an opening bid of £14million rejected, the latter have now succeeded with an improved offer of at little under £20million. The former Lille man has now travelled to the French capital, where he will discuss personal terms and undergo a medical with the Ligue 1 champions.
In better news for Alan Pardew, a move for de Jong is in the pipeline. During his time at FC Twente the Holland international earned a reputation as one of the most promising strikers in Europe, but he has lost his way somewhat since joining Borussia Monchengladbach in 2012. The 23-year-old has scored just six goals in 36 Bundesliga matches since making his £12.5million switch to the German club, and he is now undergoing a medical on Tyneside ahead of an initial loan deal to Newcastle, which could be made permanent.
Earlier this month, Montpellier had claimed that the Premier League side had agreed a deal to take Remy Cabella at the end of the season. The 23-year-old, who has yet to win a full cap for France, is enjoying another fine campaign at Stade de la Mosson despite being engulfed in a relegation fight, and he is expected to head to St James Park in a £14million deal, and will more than likely be viewed as a direct replacement for Cabaye.

In an increasingly challenging funding environment non-profit organisations and corporates must find innovative, collaborative and sustainable ways to work together in their efforts towards social development. A panel discussion on funding innovations, held at The Trialogue CSI Conference on 24 May 2016, introduced delegates to three innovations in funding, viz. social impact bonds, social enterprise and social impact insurance.
She believes that this sort of model encourages flexibility and innovation and can be helpful in piloting new approaches: "There are certain outcomes that we traditionally agree on – kids to pass matric, for example – but how we get there involves a lot of innovation." The idea is that funding goes where impact is demonstrated.
Different projects and organisations require different funding models, said Andrew Millson of Community Capital Africa, a strategic consultancy in the field of impact investment and social enterprise. "Those working with the most vulnerable in our society need social funding, what is sometimes referred to as "free money". For seed funding or research, grant funding might be necessary," he said.
Social development investment means working with organisations who have the potential to create their own income. Social enterprises may partner or collaborate with the corporate sector, who can open up supply chains and new markets for the social enterprise sector. "As corporates, you need to be asking, how can I use my CSI funds to support those organisations that can move from being NPOs to social enterprises?" he said.

Hiya, Airpoints are credited when the statement is issued. You'll continue to earn Airpoints up to the 30th of April. From the 1st of May you'll earn cash back.


Working from home sounds like a great idea. Not having to deal with traffic is a major plus, and if you have to take care of children or parents, you can have a more flexible schedule.
The concept is even better when you get to work for a great company, but not all offers are what they seem and there are plenty of scams out there. Scammers will even pose as high-profile companies to try and lure you in.
Case in point, a job that looks like it's from Amazon. We all know about the company and for many, it would be a dream to work for them. But in this case it's not only not a job, but a scam instead!
The way it works is you get a phone call offering a work-from-home opportunity that says it pays from $20 an hour to $6,000 a month. They go by the names like Amazon Cash Website, StockRetail.com, AmazonGigs.org, Storejobs.org, Webstorejobs.org and WebStoreJobs.com.
Here's where we go back to the saying "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!"
The only catch seems to be that new employees must buy an "enrollment kit" for $200 which, while questionable, seems like a small price to pay in order to quickly begin earning more than that.
But once you pay up, the money will be gone, your contact will disappear and the new job is found to not exist.
Hopefully needing to pay up front in order to get a job raises a red flag for you. If not, there are other clues to be mindful of.
The call comes from a number that is flagged as being questionable, which is a good sign that something is off. But if you glossed over that or just got the message via voicemail, you may not notice.
Once you log on, the site provides ample reason for why this is a good idea, even going so far as to say some of their best employees were doubters-turned-believers. After all that, you are told there are three steps to join, one of which has you fill out a form in which you reveal plenty of information.
Like we said, this scam is not short on revealing clues. You just have to be mindful of the signs of a scam and recognize that this is one of them.
But just in case, what else will you notice?
The URL at the top of the page is not close to anything you would see from Amazon, and throughout the page there are countless formatting and grammatical errors. There are also numerous questionable claims and statements, which should at least give one pause.
Really, there are a good many issues with the entire process, all of which very strongly point in the direction of it being a scam. But just to try and get you to ignore it, the site informs you that spots in the program are limited and if you want to land the job, you better apply fast.
That is designed to get you to skim through the rest of the page while you rush to sign up, in the meantime ignoring everything that would otherwise convince you to at least question what you are doing. Hat Tip to Clark.com for giving us some of the details about this scam.
If you did follow through and provide the information, you will want to make sure to monitor all of your accounts closely. Monitor your banking statements closely and if you gave credit card information, be sure to cancel the cards.
Otherwise, the money you handed over is gone. You'll have to take this as a learning experience going forward.
Just because this is not a real Amazon job site does not mean there are no opportunities to work for the company. If you want, visit www.amazon.jobs in order to start the process of looking.
According to the Better Business Bureau, it is wise to not only be cautious of any job that asks you to hand over money, but to check the business's website to make sure it is real. Also, they say to be wary of work from home opportunities that are filled with testimonials, as they are often misleading and a sign that something is not right.
Finally, they say if a job looks suspicious, search for it online. If the job appears in other cities as well, it is likely a scam.

The roof of your house is something that often goes under appreciated. We paint our fences, trim our hedges, clean our windows and hang up flower baskets to ensure our abode looks homely, but we forget about the shield protecting it all. Just because we don't get an up close and personal look at it everyday doesn't mean our roof should go unloved. Here are the signs that it's time to update your roofing.
It may seem obvious, but a sagging roof is a sure-fire sign that it needs updating. Sagging of the roof is most generally caused by long-term water damage, but carrying the weight of heavy ice and snowfall can also trigger it. Any dip, curve or sag should be looked at to determine the cause and if any roof repairs should be carried out.
A roof of over twenty years old is most likely in need of some repair, if not replacing. Roofs are exposed to the elements on a daily basis and all the wind, rain, snow and sun will definitely take their toll. If it's starting to age, update your roof before any real problems occur.
An easy way to spot roof damage is by glancing at the chimney flashing. Cement and tar flashing wears down over time, particularly if it has been exposed to severe weather, and can affect the watertight barrier of your roof. Opting for metal flashing is a much more sustainable option.
Curling or buckling shingles are a tell tale sign that your roof is in need of some TLC. Missing or broken shingles are also a big indication. It's the elements that can cause this damage and if it goes unrepaired, it can lead to some severe damage for your home and possessions.
If any of these signs are present, it's time to call in highly qualified roofing contractors. The Woodstock Roofing team have over 60 years experience in the Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire areas, so don't hesitate to get in touch today for your free quote.

Toxicity of Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles (Paper)
on March 28, 2022 IN Graphene
cov-ID-19 detox Graphene heavy metal detox toxins
This study has me pondering how exposure to GO is absolutely unavoidable as this toxic substance is being promoted as the next most exciting thing – used in vaccines, drugs, air, food, clothes, agriculture, buildings, electronics, bandages, masks, and so on. My notes from the study and my initial-thoughts on what we might be able to do about it.
I was just going to reference this paper in my post on Graphene that I'm working on but I ended up taking so many notes that it needs it's own page.
Rhazouani, Asmaa et al. "Synthesis and Toxicity of Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles: A Literature Review of In Vitro and In Vivo Studies." BioMed research international vol. 2021 5518999. 10 Jun. 2021, doi:10.1155/2021/5518999 (01)
See also: Graphene toxicity as a double-edged sword of risks and exploitable opportunities: a critical analysis of the most recent trends and developments ( Yuri Volkov et al 2017 2D Mater) (02)
"Nanomaterials have been widely used in many fields in the last decades, including electronics, biomedicine, cosmetics, food processing, buildings, and aeronautics. They are currently used to administer drugs, proteins, genes, vaccines, polypeptides, and nucleic acids.
The natural routes of entry of nanoparticles into an organism are inhalation, ingestion, and dermal (skin exposure). Graphene oxide (GO), an oxidized derivative of graphene, is currently used in biotechnology and medicine for cancer treatment, drug delivery, and cellular imaging. (injection)
GO-based nanomaterials have been structured as topical antimicrobial media in the form of bandages, ointments, or cotton fabric. For this reason, dermal exposure is an important route of exposure that deserves attention."
GO is characterized by various physicochemical properties, including nanoscale size, high surface area, and electrical charge.
The toxic effect of GO on living cells and organs is a limiting factor that limits its use in the medical field.
There is no Standardization… "there is no specific method or procedure for producing a "standard" GO because each synthesis method produces a different GO type. Therefore, the GO has distinct physicochemical properties, such as structure and reactivity."
GO has a high adsorption capacity for proteins and antibodies.
The toxicity of GO in cells is due to several factors, including dose, lateral size, and surface charge.
To date, the studies carried out on the cytotoxicity of GO are contradictory. Some studies have shown that GO has no toxic effects on cellular behavior, while others have reported that this nanomaterial can induce cellular damage.
https://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2021/5518999/
The toxic effects of GO on cells
Cytotoxicity of this nanomaterial in vitro is closely related to incubation conditions, including exposure dose, culture time, incubation temperature, and cell type. (So we can look at in vitro studies and evaluate it's likely effects on us)
Physicochemical properties of GO, such as shape, particle size, number of layers, and surface functionalization, affect the behavior of GO on cells.
GO with a dose less than 20 μg/mL did not exhibit toxicity to human fibroblast cells, and the dose of more than 50 μg/mL exhibits cytotoxicity such as decreasing cell adhesion, inducing cell apoptosis, and entering into lysosomes, mitochondrion, endoplasm, and the cell nucleus.
Yet, GO with a smaller size caused more severe oxidative stress and induced more obvious cytotoxicity in A549 cells compared to GO with a larger size.
The interaction between the GO and the cell membrane can cause morphological changes and cell lysis, such as hemolysis of red blood cells (rupturing of red blood cells and the release of their contents into surrounding fluid). These changes are due to strong electrostatic interactions between negatively charged oxygen groups on the GO's surface and positively charged phosphatidylcholine on the outer membrane of red blood cells.
Incubation of human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 with GO caused a decrease in cell viability due to the dose of GO exposure.
Toxicity of GO in the rat cardiomyoblast H9c2 cell line demonstrated that GO induced cardiotoxicity, mitochondrial disruption, generation of reactive oxygen species, and DNA interactions.
In vitro cardiotoxicity evaluation of graphene oxide
Graphene oxide nanoparticles induced cytotoxicity in H9c2 cells.
Graphene oxide nanoparticles induced mitochondrial hyperpolarization in H9c2 cells.
Graphene oxide nanoparticles elicited an increase in free radicals in H9c2 cells.
DNA damage was related to graphene oxide nanoparticles cytotoxicity.
Intratracheal (respiratory exposure) administration of GO in mice developed fibrosis in lung tissue after 21 days.
GO increased the rate of mitochondrial respiration and the generation of reactive oxygen species, activating inflammatory and apoptotic pathways.
Intravenous injection exposures could also be retained in the lung and induce the formation of granulomas and pulmonary edema.
Inhaled GO nanosheets can destroy the ultrastructure and biophysical properties of pulmonary surfactant film, which is the host's first line of defense, and reveal their potential toxicity.
Once deposited at the bottom of the pulmonary alveoli, nanoparticles can be taken up by macrophages or eliminated by respiratory mucus via the action of hair cells or, for the smallest of them, pass through the pulmonary epithelium and end up in the interstitial liquid.
Intraperitoneal (abdominal tissue/membrane) injection, the GO mainly remained accumulated near the injection site and small agglomerates (masses) could be found in the liver and spleen's serous membrane. GO polyethylene glycol (GO-PEG) functionalized derivatives are mainly retained in the reticuloendothelial system, including the liver and spleen.
GO particles are aggregated (massed) by interaction with digestive fluids and the acidic pH of the stomach.
Low-dose GO caused severe damage to the gastrointestinal tract in maternal mice rather than high-dose GO. This is because the low dose of GO without agglomeration (process of collecting in a mass) can easily attach to the gastrointestinal surface and cause destruction by its abundant sharp edges.
Bleeding in brain tissue was observed in animals with GO intoxication.
GO is a nephrotoxic product and that its toxicity can be mediated by oxidative stress.
Administration of GO significantly increased the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase in a dose-dependent manner in the kidney compared to the control group.
Neurotransmitters, DNA & Cell Membrane Damage
Exposure to GO caused a significant decrease in neurotransmitters such as tyrosine, tryptophan, dopamine, tyramine, and GABA.
Exposure to GO caused a decrease in the expression of ttx-1 and ceh-14 genes, which are genes necessary for sensory neurons' functioning.
Proposed that small nanosheets of GO reduce glutamate availability, which is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
GO is capable of inducing genotoxicity. The use of GO at concentrations of 10 and 100 μg/mL altered gene expression.
Injection of GO at different doses (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg) for one or five consecutive days, caused genomic instability, mutagenicity, and oxidative stress in the liver and brain tissue.
Administration of GO significantly increased dose-dependent DNA breaks and induced mutations in the p53 (6 and 7) and presenilin (exon 5) genes by increasing the expression of the p53 protein.
Small GO could be degraded by lysosomes and eliminated from the body without causing observable toxicity.
Large GOs could cause damage to the cell membrane by binding to proteins and interacting with phosphatidylcholine, leading to ROS production, and increasing the dose and duration of exposure to GO results in a progressive decrease in the activity of SOD and GSH.

(Does this image look strangely familiar to anyone else who studied SARS-COV-2 in the first year? or is it just me that sees the resemblance?)
GO excretion varies in different organs. The routes of eliminating GO in vivo have not yet been clearly explained, but renal and fecal routes appear to be the major elimination routes. To date, several controversial results have been obtained regarding the distribution and excretion of this nanomaterial.
Lungs = challenging to eliminate, causing inflammation, cell infiltration, granuloma formation, and pulmonary edema.
Liver = can be eliminated through the hepatobiliary pathway by following the duodenum's bile duct.
GOPEG = GO polyethylene glycol's functional derivatives accumulate primarily in the liver, and the spleen can be eliminated gradually, probably via the kidneys and fecal excretion.
GO particles with large size of 200 nm are trapped by splenic physical filtration.
Intratracheally (respiratory tract) instilled GO nanosheets can be retained in the lungs. This exposure resulted in acute lung injury and chronic pulmonary fibrosis. GO-induced acute lung lesions are related to oxidative stress.
Intravenous (injected) administration of GO caused massive pulmonary thromboembolism in mice.
Direct administration of GO into the lungs of mice resulted in severe and chronic lung damage. These GO nanosheets disrupted the alveolar-capillary barrier, allowing inflammatory cells to infiltrate the lungs and stimulate the release of proinflammatory cytokines.
GO has a toxic effect on nerve tissue.

What this paper has me pondering…
This paper makes me really consider the urgency in needing to know exactly how (or if) it can be removed from the body, as it seems that it's in everything and there is no avoiding it – it's in vaccines, it's in the food, the air, the water, clothing, drugs, masks, ointments, bandages, agriculture, and more.
It seems like this paper is pointing out the contradicting studies – and although they didn't say it – I will – my guess is that the studies that show "favourable" results, most likely have pharma-funded backgrounds or a conflict of interest that needs the graphene studies to look good in order to get this cheap and toxic product approved for all kinds of things. This is how the pharmaceutical industry works, and the journal publications are their biggest marketing campaign and consumer-targets.
Looking at this paper in combination with the other studies I've read so far, it seems that the best we can do to mitigate this toxicity of this seemingly unavoidable substance:
Avoid it as much as possible – that's common sense – but if they end up putting it in our water, clothes, medicines, injections, and if they are putting it in the air and agriculture already – and promoting it to our governments as "the next best thing" – it may be something that none of us can avoid while greed and corruption rules the earth.
Increase glutathione levels
Eating high glutathione organic foods such as greens and high chlorophyll foods, broccoli, parsley, cabbage, garlic, brussels sprouts, beets, asparagus, avocado, cucumber, green beans, spinach, sunflower seeds, mushrooms, Brazilian nuts, tomatoes, and plant-based protein-rich foods.
Supplementing with NAC & Glutathione
Avoiding supermarkets and going straight to farm / growing our own foods without the nasty pesticides, sprays, packaging, and GMO's – and their NWO-Foods.
Eat a Mediterranean Diet as much as possible as that takes care of all the organs that may be effected, and also can be credited for pretty much all reversal of diseases and cellular-regeneration.
Don't eat anything in pretty packaging from large corporations. Don't eat supermarket meat.
Sulforaphane (Broccoli, Broccoli Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts) to reset the genes and for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, cancer prevention, heart health, neurological issues and more. Add that to our diet daily.
If these neurotransmitters are depleted (tyrosine, tryptophan, dopamine, tyramine, and GABA) – do we supplement them or find food-sources to compensate? My guess is that a Mediterranean diet with the addition of fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, etc.) will do the trick here, but I'll look more into it.
The lung-damage looks like one of the worst effects, but as someone who has repaired her lungs, I know this is not impossible to rectify (as long as you don't listen to the in'doc'trinated) as I have repaired my lungs from emphysema – everything is repairable if you don't listen to genocidal maniacs who have control of the pharmaceutical, media, and agricultural industries (and more things make sense when you realize the planet is owned and governed and controlled by essentially one entity – even though it's several hundred families – it's still a division of the one entity that profits and enslaves us from our illnesses, woes, desires and fears).
The vessel-damage all the way through the body could be the most damaging as it may be very difficult to detox/eliminate such tiny (nano) sized razor-sharp particles, so having a healthy diet may be our only saving grace to prolonging life and to have a faster cellular-regeneration process (as if it messes/roughs-up the cells as it slices it's way through our linings, organs, vessels, etc., if we have a toxic diet, we're going to be speeding up the possibility of problems, i.e. things getting stuck where it wouldn't of previously got stuck as the lining was "smooth" before the GO).
Ponder on this some more I shall. This is just my initial thoughts after reading the study. Feel free to share your thoughts on Telegram.

Related Studies to go through
Just want to keep some bookmarks here of relevant studies I haven't had time to look through yet (so that I can close some open tabs lol).
Differential genotoxic and epigenotoxic effects of graphene family nanomaterials (GFNs) in human bronchial epithelial cells (The effects of GFNs on cellular genome were evaluated with single and double stranded DNA damage and DNA repair gene expressions. Genotoxic and epigenotoxic potentialities of graphene family nanomaterials (GFNs). The GFNs possibly caused DNA damage by affecting NER and NHEJ repair systems. Possibly DNMT3B and MBD1 genes regulate GFN's induced global DNA methylation status.) (03)
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mrgentox.2016.01.006
Graphene oxide nanosheets induce DNA damage and activate the base excision repair (BER) signaling pathway both in vitro and in vivo (Studies have reported that excessive GO exposure can cause cellular DNA damage through reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. GO as a potential emerging pollutant is first investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). GO exposure is first confirmed to cause DNA damage when the concentration is higher than 25 μg/mL in HEK293T cells. BER pathway could be a possible inner response mechanism for GO exposure both in vitro and in vivo.) (04)

And if it's "superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs)" that we're dealing with:
Potential toxicity of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) (2010) (16) Cellular SPION overload may trigger adverse cellular responses and the long-term impact of these acute exposures are not well understood. Plausible that internalised SPION may corrode over a long period of time by releasing metallic ions that in turn bear a long-established correlation with DNA damage. Ideally, it would be worthwhile to decipher the stability and breakdown products of coatings because a 'biocompatible coating' that is considered stable initially may eventually break down into an unfavourable product or expose the iron oxide core, thereby eliciting adverse cellular responses. Emerging studies have begun to highlight aberrant cellular responses including DNA damage, oxidative stress, mitochondrial membrane dysfunction and changes in gene expression as a result of SPION exposure, all in the absence of cytotoxicity.

Suites, studios, kitchenettes, multipurpose rooms and more will be available at the new residence hall coming fall 2021

Alma Clark Glass Hall will be move-in ready in fall 2021, with a design focus on community, accessibility and inclusivity for all Western Washington University students.
During summer 2021, current and eligible incoming Western students will have the option to select a room at Alma Clark Glass Hall for fall 2021. Rooms available will include full two-bedroom suites with one bathroom, semi-suite double rooms with their own bathroom facilities, singles, triples with their own bathroom facilities and studios with a kitchen and bathroom to appeal to all students.
The residence hall will have approximately 400 beds and will include laundry, storage, lounges and study areas, according to Western's housing website.
"It will feature study lounges and community kitchens on almost every floor, allowing students to engage academically in collaborative spaces and socially through preparing meals and eating together," said Paul Cocke, Western's director of communications and marketing.
With community as a focus, the residence hall will include a multipurpose room that can be used for events, presentations, student-faculty collaboration and lectures. The main floor will function as a central hub for the Alma Clark Glass Hall residents.
Carla Yanni, a professor at Rutgers University and the second vice president of the Society of Architectural Historians, said much of what students learn is outside of class time, and forming life-long friendships takes place partly in residence halls.
Former residence advisor and Western alumna Bethany Barbieri was able to see an early virtual video tour of the first floor of the hall, which showed study nooks and a market.
"I am really happy to see these types of spaces added to the Ridgeway residence area," Barbieri said.
The virtual video tour of Alma Clark Glass Hall is available for public viewing, along with live construction footage.
After viewing the video, first-year student Brody Hunt said the building's size and the sky bridge impressed him the most.
In addition to the design features, Alma Clark Glass Hall will include four significant improvements to make the Ridgeway community accessible for students with disabilities for the first time.
Cocke noted the building would include single rooms, elevators, a sidewalk from the college hall to create a new accessible pedestrian pathway to The Ridge and more wheelchair-accessible rooms close to Red Square, the Viking Union, academic buildings and the library.
It is essential for architects and colleges to follow the Americans with Disabilities Act.
"Students with disabilities should be able to easily enter and exit a building, enjoy its landscape and communal spaces and participate in the life of the residence hall like anyone else," Yanni said.
Along with community and accessibility, inclusivity was at the forefront of the design plan.
On Dec. 11, 2020, the Western board of trustees unanimously approved the new residence hall's name. Cocke said Alma Clark Glass, for whom the new building is named, was the first Black student to attend Western in 1906.
In her honor, Alma Clark Glass Hall will provide Black Affinity Housing. According to the Western housing website, the affinity-based housing is designed to assist members of the Black-identified community in supporting each other while adding psychological comfort and safety for those who choose to live in those spaces.
"A reflection and meditation room, which includes a footwash area prioritized for Muslim-identities, provides space for quiet moments," Cocke said.
Barbieri said that from what she has heard, the residence hall sounds like a wonderful place to live. However, she said she hopes the new residence hall will not charge more because it could result in class problems — with lower-income students forced to live in less desirable housing.
"Official decisions on housing rates will be finalized in spring 2021," Cocke said. "However, before then, we confer with student leadership in housing and Associated Students about overall housing system priorities, debt obligation and new programs we might be looking to bring forth."

What do you think of Amazon buying Whole Foods?
by Linda Joy 3 hours ago
Linda Joy
My neighbor who is disabled gets food deliveries. Personally, when it comes to fresh food, I'd rather pick it out myself.
Yes that's best if you have that option.
Jewels Vern
9-18-2017 There is no Whole Foods store here, so what I think doesn't matter. But FEE.ORG has an interesting article on the subject: https://fee.org/search?q=whole+foods
AskingForaFriend
Maybe regular people like myself will be able to shop there now. I don't know much about it, but I know that I wouldn't touch that place with a ten foot pole before due to the high prices and super pretentious crowds. What do you think? I know they call Amazon the new Walmart....
I've never shopped Whole Foods. And I've only shopped Amazon a couple of times.
im not surprised since they seem to have everything
Do you think some foods should be labeled differently?

Add all dry ingredients (except hemp hearts and chopped veggies) to your food processor. Process until well mixed and almost flour-like. Transfer into a large bowl.
Add remaining ingredients (hemp hearts and chopped veggies) to the mixture in large bowl. Stir with a spoon until thoroughly combined.
Add water and lemon juice. Stir again.
Line dehydrator trays with parchment paper.
NOTES: First, the patty. Raw veggie burger patties are usually made from a savoury concoction of vegetables and a binding agent (like flaxseed, for example). The mixture is moulded into patties and dehydrated in a dehydrator, which results in a delicious, hearty patty. When preparing your patties, be mentally prepared that they will be a lot smaller after dehydration as much of the moisture is removed during the dehydration process.
The bun? You can either make a bread or cracker by dehydrating them or do what I do. Wrap the patty in a crisp leaf or romaine lettuce and you're good to go.

Tom Melissis
B: August 13 in Toronto, Ontario
Tom Melissis was the middle kid in a family of five children. He grew up in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough watched over by parents who had come to Canada from Macedonia. He attended Monarch Park Secondary School then enrolled in the theatre school at Ryerson, which he hated and abandoned after just one year. He then went to work for the audiovisual department of a Toronto advertising agency. But performing was still his blood and he moonlighted as a lead vocalist for the rock band The Exploding Tickets. While that proved to be a dead end he took the advice of a friend and auditioned for Toronto's Second City comedy club which led to a two year stint which led, ultimately, to a career in television and film. He is sometimes credited as Tom Melisses.

This collection of twelve pieces, one for each month, came about because of a commission from N. M. Bernard, editor of the St Petersburg music magazine, Nuvellist. Each month during 1876, Tchaikovsky wrote a short piano piece portraying subjects and activities typical of that month, and it was published in that month's edition of Nuvellis. The result is this lovely collection of character pieces. "Troika", written for the month of November, stands on its own. It is bright and bouncy, like riding in a troika being drawn by fast horses. It was a favorite encore of Sergei Rachmaninoff. "Barcarolle", written for June, is so pretty that it has been arranged for flute, violin, viola, string bass, and orchestra. Written on an intermediate to advanced level, this entire work is considered standard literature for today's pianists. For more information about this collection of sheet music or other collections of piano music, please contact us at 1-800-42-MUSIC, email us at keyboard@stantons.com, or visit our website at http://www.stantons.com.

The AA and AS Mathematics programs build a strong mathematical foundation and prepares students for a baccalaureate degree in engineering, physics, applied and pure mathematics, and other STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) at most four-year institutions by providing the mathematics courses required of students at most institutions during the freshman and sophomore years for these specialties.
Graduates will demonstrate proficiency in applying fundamental concepts in differential calculus.
Graduates will demonstrate proficiency in applying fundamental concepts of integral calculus.
Graduates will demonstrate proficiency in applying fundamental concepts of linear algebra.
Graduates will demonstrate proficiency in applying fundamental concepts of ordinary differential equations.
The significance of STEM specialties, with mathematics at its core, has been widely recognized by its implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy. A strong mathematics foundation is a requirement for many highly regarded careers. Research shows that mathematicians have better jobs. An AS degree in mathematics leads directly to a BS degree and more advanced degrees in fields such as Physics, Actuarial Science, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Computational Science, Psychology, Biochemistry, Robotics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Information Science, Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Optics, Nanotechnology, Nuclear Physics, Mathematical Biology, Operations Research, Neurobiology, Biomechanics, Bioinformatics, Acoustical engineering, Geographic Information Systems, Atmospheric Sciences, Educational/Instructional technology, Software Engineering, and Educational Research.

SLTV: 'I Was Selected To Train With Liverpool'
By Soccer Laduma
From Ghana to Europe and now plying his trade in South Africa, Black Leopards midfielder, Mumuni Abubakar, shared his football journey in this SLTV exclusive.
The 27-year-old started his career in Ghana, however before his talent caught the eye of scouts, family members were skeptical as he decided to pursue a professional football career.
Remembering his late mother, Abubakar went against the grain and his ability was clear for all to see back home.
As a natural leader on the field, personal accolades were not in short supply, but how did this promising Europe-bound player end up in Thohoyandou?
During this interview with Soccer Laduma, the former Black Stars international also said:
"My mother wanted me to be an engineer or a doctor..."
"In the 2010/11 season, I was the player of the year in the Ghana Premier League…"
"It's been very tough for us…"
"There are many that I look up to…"
"I would love to help the teams win trophies…"
Do you think that Black Leopards will survive this season if the PSL returns?

Katy Perry is serving up a new music video for her song "Bon Appétit" and there's more than just cherry pie coming out of the oven. Katy's food-based promotion for the song is continuing in full force in the new visual.
Opening on a shot of Katy pre-packaged, the video follows her as she's kneaded like dough, stewed with vegetables and eventually served up to a hungry crowd. But when Katy rings a bell, Migos comes to her rescue and the cannibalistic tables are turned.
The song, which originally just seemed like an excuse for Katy to stuff as much innuendo into four minutes as humanly possible, takes on a different meaning thanks to the visual. Much like the video for "Chained to the Rhythm," Katy is showcasing her sanitized, bubblegum version of social commentary.


On this March day, the assignment was to open the body's chest cavity to examine the heart. It wasn't long before Nielsen's group began to question their fledgling medical knowledge.
Bewildered, he and his team called the professors over and asked: "Where's the inferior vena cava? Are we missing it? Are we crazy?"
"And they kind of rolled their eyes," Nielsen said, "Like, 'how can these students miss this big vessel?' And they come over and that's when the hubbub starts. They're like 'Oh, my God, this is totally backwards!' "
Bentley's vein was on the left, and instead of terminating directly into the heart, which is typical, "her vein continued through her diaphragm, along the thoracic vertebrae, up and around and over the aortic arch and then emptied into the right side of her heart," Walker said.
That wasn't the only irregularity Walker and his students found in Bentley's body.
But Bentley was an anomaly, one of the few born with the condition that didn't have heart defects, Walker said.
Despite chronic heartburn (which would have been explained by her unusual gastric anatomy), Bentley never showed any negative effects from her flip-flopped innards, said 76-year-old Ginger Robbins, the third of Bentley's children.
The only clue anything might be unusual came when Bentley's appendix was removed, said 66-year-old Louise Allee, the fourth-born child and youngest of the daughters.
"There was a poem that my dad found, and it was all about donating your parts," she said. "You know, 'give my eyes to a man who has never seen the sunrise' and the like. He kept showing us the poem. It was really important to them."
Jim Bentley kept his promise and donated his body when he died of pneumonia more than a dozen years before his wife's death. His daughters know that he would have loved to have known about his wife's peculiar insides so he could have teased her about it.

Child of Light Launch Gallery Gives One More Highly Detailed Look
Just a quick PSA: Ubisoft's Child of Light launches today for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC, and the company has one more gorgeous batch of screeshots to help sell you its game on launch day.
We've been following this brilliant looking little game for quite some time, and are thrilled to finally get a chance to play it. As a fan of classic JRPGs of all shapes and sizes, its nice to see a major Western publisher take a small gamble on a genre that major Western publishers typically flub up so badly. When left in the hands of fans and indie developers though, they tend to get the most out of it.
I'm downloading Child of Light now, so hopefully this is the one which breaks the string of bad luck. Plenty of JRPG fans from the Super Nintendo and PlayStation days have their own stories to tell, and its always great when someone finally gets the chance to do so. I'm hoping Ubisoft keeps up with this trend of indie inspired games from its biggest teams and we get a lot more gems out of it.
Again, Child of Light is available for just $15 on the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, and PC today.

Is reputation everything? SFFS Oct. 26
Hello, sci-fi fans and friends! I'm finally getting things back on track after a whirlwind summer from hell that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. (Well, maybe on my WORST enemy. Just sayin'.)
I've been nose-deep in the second novel in the Horizon Crossover series, and just now am coming up for air, about to submit it for editing. Those of you who are writers may sympathize with the issue, in series writing, of trying to get back into the flow of a cast of characters and a setting after you've worked on other things in between. *raises hand* Learned my lesson here. So I'll go right into book three, HORIZON DYNASTY as a NaNoWriMo project so I can kick out the first draft while I'm still immersed in these people's lives.
Today's snippet is set in a repair and parts shop in the city of Roandock, on planet Marriel. Under-the-table dealer Jowalt Edwards has been approached by Temms Rogers and his mercenary captain friend C.T. Dutton for information about some mysterious alien artifacts associated with the Ancients. Rogers has previously learned that the Ancients seeded the universes with their progeny and are actively trying to re-engage with those left behind. Jowalt, however, is less than excited about that:
Jowalt rolled his dark eyes. "Yeah, you want to harvest the artifacts and build yourself a superweapon."
Temms couldn't have been more surprised if Jowalt had punched him in the face. "I—what?"
Jowalt's gaze darted from one of them to the other like a vole hyped up on speed. "That's what the scuttlebutt says–you hunted down a gob of those artifacts already, and you used them to destroy an empire where you came from. You're looking for these so you can challenge the Agency and you're going to destroy the worlds."
A shocked silence settled over the room at his pronouncement, then C.T. started laughing.
"All this time I've been associating with a destroyer of worlds, and I didn't even know it? Hey, Temms, why haven't you just singlehandedly blown up Agency headquarters by now?"
It sure would have saved a lot of time, I suppose, but that's obviously not what happened. 🙂
Hope to be here more regularly, with new material. You're all still plugging away–I'm proud of you!

Happy Saturday scifi and fantasy fans! Hope you have something lovely planned–here in beautiful Crawford County, it's the last night of the huge fair…demolition derby and fireworks! Highlight of the backwoods week. 🙂
But out in space, book two of the Horizon Crossover series is slowly coming together. HORIZON STRIFE picks up a year after Temms Rogers and his crew burst through a wormhole into a new universe. They face new issues and new enemies:
After his sudden, shocking arrival in the Mariel star system, his ship broken and crew decimated, Captain Temms Rogers has fought his way back to self-sufficiency, even prosperity, in a new universe with his new crew. Over the months, he's established a reputation as a fair and competent mercenary ship—if someone's got a job, he can handle it. His fledgling alliance with the powerful Consortium has opened many doors for him, and he repays that support with his loyalty.
As time goes on, what appeared to be a rosy future begins to pale. First, the Consortium's system rival, The Agency, takes notice of Rogers' efforts to rally the other independent ship owners against them, and trouble isn't far behind. Worse, those officers who crossed over through the wormhole with Rogers have begun to fall ill, victim to a local virus or germ to which they've never been exposed or developed immunity.
Just when he needs his ship at full battle readiness, Rogers finds his crew incapacitated, one by one, leaving the new recruits from this side of the barrier to try to rescue them from impending death.
Even as he deals with these possibilities, Rogers finds he has to face a horrifying fate worse than that of his crew: a lovesick doctor determined to marry him—or else!
So here's today's snippet, from the opening chapter:
The door slammed open, and the two men, blindfolded and bound, were shoved inside, bouncing off the hallway's narrow walls. "Keep moving!" barked the man who'd brought them. He planted a hand firmly in the back of the second in command of the ship Ramman and pushed him ahead into the darkness.
"Captain, what do they want?" the second gasped between clenched teeth.
"Shut up," his captain replied. Jak Moster had been around this cosmos for nearly sixty-five annuals, forty of those dealing with the financial monster called the Agency. The organization controlled the way free captains did business in nearly the whole interplanetary sector, on an unofficial basis. The local governments couldn't—or wouldn't—take action against them.
He had a pretty good idea what was wanted here–most important now was the ability to stay alive through this encounter. It might happen, too.
Poor Jak. Not a good time to be wrong.

Lower back pain isn't something that will go away on its own.
There are, however, a series of exercise routines you can do to reduce the pain, including soreness, tension, and stiffness.
The following exercises are designed to help stretch, strengthen and mobilise the lower back.
When you are starting out, begin gently to get used to the movements and work out how far you can go into each position without experiencing any pain.
Try to do the below routine at least once a day, if the pain allows. You can complement this routine with additional activities such as cycling, walking and water-based activities.
Be sure to speak to a physiotherapist before starting these exercises!
Start position: Kneel on all fours with your knees level with your hips and hands directly beneath your shoulders. Avoid over-arching your lower back and keep your neck long, shoulders back and don't lock your elbows.
Then slowly lower yourself backwards whilst maintaining the natural curve in the spine. Hold this position for one deep breath and return to the starting position.
What it does: Stretches and mobilises the spine.
Start position: Lie backwards while resting your head on a small flat cushion. Bring your knees up, keeping them bent and together with your feet still on the floor and stretch your arms out, palms facing the floor.
With your knees still bent, roll your knees to the one side, following with your pelvis and keeping both shoulders on the floor. Hold the stretch for one deep breath and return to the starting position.
Repeat this exercise 8-10 times, alternating sides.
What is does: Stretches and mobilises the spine backwards.
Start position: Lie flat on your stomach, then proceed to prop yourself up onto your elbows to lengthen your spine. Keep neck long and shoulders back.
From your starting position, arch your back up by pushing downwards on your hands. You should feel a gentle pull on the stomach muscles while arching. Breathe in and hold for 5-10 seconds, then return to the starting position.
Ensure your hips are kept grounded.
What it does: Strengths the deep supporting muscles around the spine.
Start position: Begin how you would when doing knee rolls exercises (see above).
After an intake of breath, while you breathe out, draw up the muscles of your pelvis and lower abdominals. Hold this contraction while breathing from your abdomen for 5-10 breaths, then relax.
Don't tense up through the neck, shoulders or legs.
What it does: Strengthens and stretches the lower back.
Start position: Again, start how you would for knee rolls.
Gently push your lower back into the ground and contract your stomach muscles. Then tilt your pelvis towards your heels until you feel a gentle arch in your lower back, feeling your back muscles contracting and return to the starting position.
Repeat this 10-15 times, tilting your pelvis back and forth in a rocking motion.
Contact a Birmingham physiotherapist for assistance with lower back pain, and more helpful tips.


Bicycle enthusiasts gathered at the Bike Church before departing on the Santa Cruz Bike Party, a mellow social ride accented with amplified music.
Riders had a great time traversing through Seabright, the Harbor, Pleasure Point, Capitola Village, Live Oak, and downtown Santa Cruz. There were approximately 25 cyclists, including one person on a customized tall bike, and another being pulled on a longboard. Some people branched off early while others joined the party mid-route.
Ron, a Westside homeowner, said that this year's crop of oranges was the most tasty and abundant in the tree's lifetime.
On Sunday, April 21, 2013, with spring in the air and trees full of fruit, the Santa Cruz Fruit Tree Project, a grassroots organization that seeks out residents willing to share their surplus fruit, harvested at approximately ten residences on the Westside of Santa Cruz. The group of over a dozen, which included both first-time pickers as well as seasoned veterans, gathered at the entrance to Neary Lagoon on California St. before splitting into teams.
The world renowned Aptos Post Office Jumps, site of the Pro Jump Jam, and valet bicycle parking with People Power of Santa Cruz County.
On Saturday, April 13, 2013, I volunteered as a bicycle valet for People Power at the 4th Annual Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival in Aptos Village, California.
My time at the event was short, however I took the following photos of youth riding at the world renowned Aptos Post Office Jumps, site of the Pro Jump Jam, as well as the valet bicycle parking provided by People Power of Santa Cruz County.
Sin Barras demands, "Real healthcare, eliminate pretrial detention, and create drug treatment centers and welfare programs outside of Santa Cruz County Jail.
Since August 2012, at least four people have died inside the Santa Cruz County Jail from lack of medical care: Christy Sanders, Rick Prichard, Brant Monnet, and Bradley Gordon Dreher. In July 2012, the Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors voted to outsource county jail medical care to Monterey-based California Forensic Medical Group. CFMG provides services for 25 California counties and has an extensive history of lawsuits against them related to inadequate care, inmate abuse, and neglect.
