The death toll from the 6.9-magnitude earthquake that hit the Indonesian island of Lombok more than a week ago has surged to 436, authorities said Monday.
The number is expected to rise further as search and rescue efforts continue in the rubble strewn across the island by the quake and another one that struck on August 9.
Accidents, disasters and safety
Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) has been working with the country's military and police to supply aid and food to the 350,000 people displaced by the quakes.
As of Monday, 21 tonnes of aid had been delivered on a cargo plane, according to BNPB spokesperson Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.
However, the island still faces a mammoth recovery effort, and relief agencies warn that the full impact of the quake remains to be known.
"We are still waiting for assessments from some of the more remote areas in the north of the island, but it is already clear that Sunday's earthquake was exceptionally destructive," said Red Cross spokesman Christopher Rassi.
Aid groups are struggling to reach the epicenter of the quake, located in the northern, more residential part of the island. Their path is blocked by heavy debris, damaged jungle roads and the risk of landslides.
There have been 543 aftershocks since the quake rocked the island, further hampering relief and rescue efforts.
"A lot of people are displaced, and many have migrated to the hilly and mountainous areas because of fear of a tsunami," Red Cross representative Husni Husni told CNN on Saturday.
The mountainous northern region of Lombok is home primarily to locals, as the majority of tourists stay in resorts on the southern coast.
When the quake hit, residents of Lombok had barely begun recovering from another 6.4 magnitude earthquake that killed 15 people a week earlier.
The devastation saw homes flattened, with falling debris causing the majority of casualties. About 80% of buildings have been destroyed in the north, according to government estimates.
Gusti Lanang Wisnuwandana, an official with the Mataram Search and Relief Office, said rescue workers were struggling to deal with survivors terrified of being indoors after the quake.
"They are still traumatized. Most of them are not willing to stay in the building while they are undergoing (an) operation or after they have undergone (an) operation. They want to be treated outdoors," he told CNN Saturday.

German, 1945–2014
https://www.moma.org/artists/5238?locale=en
Michael Schmidt was born in Berlin in 1945 after the end of World War II, and his work would remain inextricably linked to an exploration of his city's social context. Between 1949 and 1955, he moved to East Germany twice, but escaped back to West Berlin before the Wall was erected in 1961. A self-taught photographer, he began taking pictures in 1965, when he was 20 years old. In 1976, he co-founded the Werkstatt für Photographie (Workshop for Photography) at the Volkhoschschule (Adult Education Center), a school that played a critical role in Berlin becoming a transatlantic forum of exchange between European and American photographers.
Schmidt's landmark photographic projects in MoMA's collection—Berlin-Wedding (1976–78), Berlin nach 1945 (Berlin after 1945) (1980), Waffenruhe (Ceasefire) (1985–87), and Ein-heit (U-ni-ty) (1991–94)—demonstrate not only his sustained interest in Berlin as a subject but also his engagement with the weight of German identity in modern history. Ein-heit, his most ambitious project, was made in response to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the subsequent reunification of East and West Germany. It comprises 163 images: some were taken by Schmidt in a factual, descriptive style, and others he re-photographed from newspapers, propaganda journals, history books, and other communication and mass media sources. In an effort to articulate the difficulties of constructing images of historical memory in Germany, he combined contemporary and archival pictures of mass demonstrations, historic sites, emblems, monuments, and both anonymous and notorious people into a poignant study of German society in the aftermath of World War II. Drawing on the rich traditions of picture archives and the photo-essay, Schmidt presents history not as a progressive sequence of events but as a decentered, simultaneous narration. He prompts viewers to consider the limits of historical representation, leaving it up to them to determine whether a given image was taken in East or West Germany, prior to or after World War II, or during division or since reunification.

Michael Schmidt (6 October 1945 – 24 May 2014) was a German photographer. His subjects of interest were Berlin and "the weight of German identity in modern history."In 1965 Schmidt began photographing the streets, buildings and people of West Berlin in a semi-documentary approach. He went on to make a series of "ambitious projects" there, all in black and white and becoming more impressionistic, until his death in 2014. Each project was exhibited, then published as a book. Schmidt was a member of the Düsseldorf School of Photography.In 1976, he founded the Werkstatt für Photographie (Workshop for Photography) in Berlin.U-nit-y was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 1996, Frauen was shown at the Berlin Biennale in 2010 and Lebensmittel, a series about the global food industry, at the Venice Biennale in 2013. A retrospective of his work was held at Haus der Kunst in Munich in 2010. His book Waffenruhe (1987) was included in Parr and Badger's The Photobook: A History, Volume II. He died in 2014, a couple of days after winning the Prix Pictet for Lebensmittel.

The photos above depict the type of cleaning equipment used by the cleaners in my estate. Dustpans made from discarded tins and plastic containers and a broomstick made from husk. The sight of these brought me back to the era of the 70s where such were a common sight. But we no longer live in the 70s but have moved on to the 21st century.
Something tugged at me whenever I see our cleaners working with such equipment. Something was not quite right to see town council cleaners, entrusted with the mammoth task of maintaining the cleanliness of our estates on a daily basis to be given primitive equipment to work with.
Until the Brompton bike saga surfaced. As these ill-equipped cleaners work for none other but Sembawang-Nee Soon GRC which is helmed by the same minister who justified NParks' Brompton bike premium purchase for improved productivity and durability. Compare the high-end bikes with these makeshift dustpans and broomstick used daily by my estate cleaners.
Using the same logic applied by Mr Khaw Boon Wan on his support for the Brompton bikes purchase, premium cleaning equipment which is durable and requires less maintenance has to be acquired for our town council cleaners to raise staff productivity too. Although our town council cleaners do not cover 30 – 40 km of work area daily, nevertheless, they are the very people who have a direct impact of the state of cleanliness of our estates; they are the ones who ensure the hygiene level and thus, the quality of our environment in our estates where 85% of us, the HDB dwellers, live in; they are the people who contribute directly towards Singapore's reputation of a clean city.
Are these town council employees, of any lesser importance than the employees of NParks? To be honest, our cleaners are equally important, if not, more important. We could at least survive in a clean but treeless environment but imagine our island beautified by trees but piled up with rubbish.
Mr Khaw might reason with the fact that the cleaning equipment, made from recycled materials and cheap materials, are environmentally friendly. However, they look embarrassingly primitive and cheap in a first world country where massive funds were channelled to the building of the Supertrees by the bay for conservation and where Herman miller designer chairs were purchased for the long term welfare of the employees of a certain ministry.
My indignation caused by the episode of Brompton bike is that it espouses none other than the mindset where employees at a higher level of the hierarchy commands more worth than the ones at the bottom and thus the justification for the former to deserve premium materials that should be rightfully borne by all taxpayers.

Preview Formula 1 Emirates Japanese Grand Prix
By: Graham Pearson
Event, F1 GP, Suzuki GP
Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo Looking to Capitalize on Momentum From Their One Two Finish at Malaysia GP
Pit lane will swing into action again this weekend as the drivers take to Suzuka for the Japanese Grand Prix.
One of the most popular races, Suzuka is hailed as a true test of driver and car.
The track was built in 1982 as a Honda test facility and has hosted Formula 1 races since 1987. It has played a key role in deciding many championship battles and is the scene of the now infamous collisions involving Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna.
The unforgiving circuit is narrow, the layout is fast and flowing, and the design is a unique figure-of-eight.

And there is no way for the drivers to escape the unforgiving nature of the track. It is undulating and bumpy – especially around Degner Two (Turn 9) – and features a host of fast corners. Probably the most challenging and exciting are the sequence of corners in the first sector called the Esses – five inter-linked bends that are all taken at a minimum speed of 130mph/210kph.
If downforce is crucial in the opening part of the lap, the second sector requires braking stability and traction around lopping corners while the third sector features the infamous 130R (Turn 16) and a chicane leading into the straight.
Another interesting challenge presented by Suzuka's layout is the downhill grid. At the start the drivers need to hold their brakes until releasing the clutch. If this isn't done smoothly a poor getaway is likely – and with Mercedes' clutch problems this may cause some issues.
All of this fast and furious action tends to attract some of the most passionate crowds to the Japanese Grand Prix and it remains a favourite among drivers.
"If I had to choose one track as my favourite," said Williams driver Valtteri Bottas, "it would have to be Suzuka because of the high speed nature of the circuit. It's a proper race track really built for Formula 1 cars."
"On top of that, the atmosphere is very special. The Japanese fans get so excited about the race."
Despite being one of the few back-to-back races on the Formula 1 calendar, it can't come soon enough for many spectators following the dramatic conclusion in Malaysia and the tense contest between – and among – many teams.
Lewis Hamilton looked to be cruising to victory at the last outing before suffering an engine problem towards. Asking for "some answers" after the race and pointing to a conspiracy theory, the Englishman now finds himself 23 points behind Rosberg with only 5 races left on the calendar. On top of that, no driver has won as many races as Rosberg in a season and failed to claim the championship. The prospect looks daunting but Hamilton still holds the natural ability and speed to mount a comeback.
Hamilton Looking to Recover From Disappointing End to The Malaysia Grand Prix
"The championship is not over. Lewis had a massive blow; that's clear. But let them battle it out hopefully without any reliability woes and see how it plays out," said Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff.
Aside from Mercedes, the focus remains on Ferrari and how they will close out a disappointing season. They now trail Red Bull by 46 points in the constructors standings and with Vettel already penalized 3 places on the grid for his opening lap collision in Malaysia, the Prancing Horse will be going all out to take maximum points.
Also intriguing to watch in Japan will be the arm-wrestle between Williams and Force India. A successful race in Malaysia sees Force India edge ahead by only 4 points in the standings and they are confident of another strong showing at Suzuka.
Sergio Perez Sahara Force India is Looking to Build Upon Strong Showing Last Week
"We head to Suzuka off the back of a very strong weekend in Sepang," said Team Principal Vijay Mallya.
"It means we can arrive in Suzuka confident of another competitive performance. The team is working extremely hard, the drivers are extracting the performance from the car, and we are looking forward to the challenge that awaits us this weekend."
The Japanese Grand Prix will start at 14:00 local time and will run over 53 laps.

For the weekend that's in it.
Sunday, 4th of March, 2012.
This, the rescheduled fixture from February that was frozen off.
The game described as a "classic" by a big corporate sponsor on Youtube (above) some years later, was anything but, despite the best efforts of Tommy Bowe (top).
Thus, no less than the French and perhaps even slightly more so, Ireland were left rueing a first draw with Les Bleus since the championship winning year of 1985 and first in Paris since 1950, and their first of any kind since the 20-20 draw with Australia in Croke Park in November 2009….

Not this time, I think it's Irelands game to lose.

U.S., Afghanistan Reach Pact
'2024 and beyond'
Updated Apr. 17, 2017 5:42PM ET / Published Nov. 20, 2013 5:41PM ET
Anadolu Agency/Getty,Anadolu Agency
Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Secretary of State John Kerry have finalized the language of a security agreement that would forbid U.S. forces from conducting combat operations in Afghanistan beginning January 2015 and lasting "until the end of 2024 and beyond, unless terminated." The deal will now go to a gathering of Afghan leaders, who will accept or reject it. It stipulates that American forces cannot target its civilians, "including in their homes." President Obama has stated his goal of ending the decade-long combat mission by the end of next year.

Herbaceous Sprouts is a new dice-based spin on Herbaceous for 1 to 4 players, ages 8 and up, and takes about 30 minutes to play. It's currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, with a pledge level of $35 for a copy of the game. The game is appropriate for both adults and kids—the rules are fairly light and the theme is family-friendly.
Note: My review is based on a prototype copy, so it is subject to change and may not reflect final component quality. The board will not have the dark blue borders on the sides, for instance, and there are some component upgrades that will potentially be added as stretch goals.
The game features artwork by Beth Sobel, and the herbs may look familiar to you if you've played the original Herbaceous card game. This time around, there are also three types of flowers, a community garden game board, and a refreshing glass of lemonade. It's a lovely looking game, like its predecessor. The sprout tokens for the players have different colors and sprout shapes, which is great for color blind players.
The dice in the prototype are just stickered, but the plan is to have screen-printed dice with rounded corners, similar to those in Star Wars: Destiny. There will be four different colored dice; each one has all five of the herbs, plus a special face: a flower, a wild herb, a glove, or a trowel.
The board itself is divided into four sections. Three of them require different sets of herbs: all identical herbs, all different herbs, or different pairs of herbs. The fourth section is for planting the three types of flowers.
The goal of the game is to score the most points by planting your sprouts in the community garden.
Place the game board in the center of the table, with the lemonade card next to it. Shuffle the tool cards; depending on the number of players, you will remove a number of cards from the deck.
Each player takes a player card (with the picture of the wheelbarrow), the sprouts of their color, and two random dice from the bag. Roll the dice and place them in your wheelbarrow.
Players will take turns being the Lead Gardener, who takes the first turn during the round. Each round, the Lead Gardener will first prepare the tool shed: draw cards equal to the number of players plus one and place them face-up next to the board. Most cards have spaces on them for dice—draw dice from the bag, roll them, and place them on the cards.
Then, in turn order, each player will take a tool card, use tools, and then plant seeds.
When you take a card, you also take all of the seed dice on the card and place them into your wheelbarrow. If you have more than 7 dice, you must discard down, returning extra dice to the bag.
In addition to the tool cards, some dice have tools also. The yellow dice have trowels, which are used just like the trowel card. The red dice have gloves, which let you re-roll the glove and any number of dice in your wheelbarrow. Then, discard your tool card (unless it has a pot on it). Tool cards may not be saved to use later.
After using your tools, you may plant in any number of gardens by discarding seed dice from your wheelbarrow and placing your sprouts on the corresponding locations. Flowers may only be planted using tools, but the herbs are planted simply by having the correct combination. The white sign on the garden spots shows what you need to plant there, and the green circle is the point value for planting in that space.
If you are the first player to plant at least one sprout in each of the four garden areas, you take the Lemonade card, which is worth 2 extra points.
Then, Lead Gardener passes to the next player clockwise, and another round begins.
The highest score wins! Ties go to the player with the most sprout tokens in the garden, followed by the most sprout tokens in the flower garden area.
The solo rules were designed by Keith Matejka (Roll Player).
For the solo game, you'll need the double-sided gardener card and the rival cards. Set up the game for a 2-player game. Shuffle the rival cards to form a stack, and place the gardener card with the Master Gardener side face-up.
You will alternate between being Master Gardener and Assistant Gardener, flipping over the gardener card each time.
On the Master Gardener turn, you draw one extra die from the bag and add it to your wheelbarrow, and then take your turn as usual, selecting one of the three available cards. The rival will then plant sprouts corresponding to both of the remaining cards. The cards are then discarded and refilled.
On the Assistant Gardener turn, you flip over a rival card, which will indicate which of the three tool cards the rival will "choose." The rival discards that card, and plants a sprout according to the banner on that card. You keep the rival card as a pot, and then take your turn as usual. The last tool card is discarded without effect.
At the end of the game, add up your score and compare it to the rival's. You must beat the rival's score to win, and your rank is determined by how many points you get more than the rival.
For Kickstarter backers, there's also a mini-expansion included. During setup, you will remove 3 cards at random from the deck, and shuffle in 3 of the Green Thumb cards. These cards are worth points at the end of the game, and the higher valued cards will require you to discard dice from your wheelbarrow (if any).
I really enjoyed the Herbaceous card game, enough to give it our GeekDad Approved seal. The artwork is lovely, the game is simple and quick to learn and play, and the theme is refreshing. Herbaceous Sprouts retains the charm of the original, but with dice. Let's be honest: that right there may make or break the game for you. Those who love dice games will be thrilled with this new take on it, and those who can't stand dice games probably won't care for it. I think I prefer the dice game just a little, but the card game is less expensive and more compact, so it travels really well.
The similarities (aside from the theme) are that, when planting herbs, you need to collect particular sets in order to plant them: all identical, all different, and different pairs. You also have to decide between planting as soon as you've collected a valid set, or waiting to try to build a bigger set for more points. One key difference, though, is that in Herbaceous other players may take the herbs themselves before you're able to plant them, while in Herbaceous Sprouts nobody can take your herbs but they can take your planting spot. If you're trying to get that coveted 6-of-a-kind spot, you might lose your chance to plant in the 5-of-a-kind space if the dice don't work out as planned.
I like the different dice, and the way that you can use various tools to manipulate dice, so that it's not all luck-based. Also, because the dice are drafted from the tool shed, you can see what other players have and what they'll be able to take, which informs your decisions. If you're playing with the rival sprouts, it can become particularly important to consider which card will be left at the end. If you're late in the turn order, you might be able to let the rival take a slot that you see an opponent working toward.
The lemonade bonus is only worth 2 points, but I've had a few games come down to a 1-point difference, so the lemonade matters. The trick, though, is that if you're planting in all four garden areas, chances are you haven't planted as many herbs at a time, so you're getting fewer points per herb. It's a tough balance, racing for the lemonade but still managing to get to some of the higher-scoring spots before they're gone.
I had to ship the prototype off to the next reviewer, but I was able to play Herbaceous Sprouts several times (and taught it a few more times) with a wide range of players, and I can attest that it works well with both young and old players. It's definitely more of a casual game and not heavy strategy, but there are enough meaningful decisions to keep it engaging for most players—and it's a short enough game that even if you're bored you probably won't mind playing it. Just about everyone I played it with enjoyed it.
I think Pencil First Games has another winner on its hands with Herbaceous Sprouts. If you enjoy dice games and you like the gardening theme, it's worth a closer look. For more information or to make a pledge, visit the Herbaceous Sprouts Kickstarter page!

Those who fidget are nervous. Some people listen wide-eyed and intensely with great interest. They are the ones who can accomplish. In big companies, it is important to recruit the right person. When a wrong man is discovered after several years of service, it causes a problem. The most important 'recruitment' is to select a wife or husband. In our country, still it is done by the parents to a great extent. In the West, for the youth, it is very important. A man's qualities are revealed only when an occasion arises. Often it happens after years. How to recruit the right man in an interview of a few hours?
There is one more problem. Two people of exactly similar qualities can exhibit opposite traits. Is there a solution? If there is one, can we acquire it? Before that, let us consider its various aspects. Tone, voice, manners, nervousness, physical movements, capacity to sit quiet, smiling face, unsmiling benevolence, twitching of the eyes, mannerisms, calm, quiet, stability, poise, bearing, mien, first reception, type of send-off, hearing, listening, understanding, enthusiasm, energy, will power are expressive of one's personality. Innumerable studies in all these fields have been conducted successfully in the West, even before the World War. There is no study or knowledge or science that embraces all of them in one central category called Personality. Supposing one such science emerges, it can certainly tell you what IS. It is incapable of giving us the knowledge of how to create that Personality and that too, entirely positively.
Spirituality of India has once studied this as a partial science to perfection. There lies hidden a great treasure. It is found in rural India as bits and pieces, just as a pot is broken into smithereens and scattered. Still it is very valuable. Our people do not know its value. The Westerner, especially curious young people will know its full value. If Western youth live in Indian villages for a couple of years, they would gather a rich harvest. Indian spiritual leaders should give thought to making all of these fields into a single science. More than that, it is necessary to add a new future dimension to that science, if ever it emerges, which is, how that science can help us master life.

A patient encounter is defined as a combination of the following, a substantial percentage of which should involve direct, hands-on contact. A patient encounter refers to each encounter: initial or follows up. Schools are encouraged to provide the opportunity for long-term follow up by which students can experience outcomes.
a) Experience history and/or outcomes of patients in order to build an internal database of clinical knowledge and experience. This internal database can be built by a variety of experiences whether it is observation, internship, externship, small group work or apprenticeship (working under and alongside the practitioner in a graduated responsibility model).
b) Carry out procedures such as history taking; prakṛti and vikṛti assessment; pulse, tongue and nail diagnosis; as well as other appropriate methods in order to gain assessment fluency. This cannot be accomplished by passive observation but can be attained in a variety of settings including intern, small group work or apprenticeship (working under and alongside the practitioner in a graduated responsibility model).
c) Carry out the clinical application of Ayurveda as per category designation. *Refer to the Scope of Practice for the Ayurvedic Profession, Ayurvedic Health Counselor: Educational Outline for Competency, Ayurvedic Practitioner: Educational Outline for Competency and Ayurvedic Doctor: Educational Outline for Competency documents for specific details.
1) Observation: Observing the teacher/clinician working with a client in a classroom setting.
2) Student/client encounter with direct supervision of a teacher. This includes working one-on-one or in small groups of two or three.
3) Student/client one-on-one, in a more intimate setting with the student doing complete intake, recommendations, and follow-up; to be supervised directly or via externship.
Requires a minimum of 50 patient encounters with at least 25 in the first two settings as indicated above and 25 one-on-one*.
Requires a minimum of 100 patient encounters over and above the 50 of the AHC category. Twenty-five observation, 25 under direct supervision onsite and 50 completely one-on-one* with direct or indirect supervision.
Requires 250 client encounters that will include the 100 client encounters from the AP category with the additional 150 as mainly one-on-one sessions reviewed by senior faculty or senior Doctor of Ayurveda.
*One-on-one typically means one client, per one student/intern. However, some schools have found that students learn better when working with a client in groups of two or three students, all of whom are fully engaged in all aspects of diagnosis and chikitsa. This is an acceptable substitution for one-on-one encounters, provided students also gain experience working with patients one-on-one before graduating.
"Six months of supervised clinical practice" should read "Equivalent to six months of supervised clinical practice." While some school formats would deliver this in a six-month block, others might be interspersing it throughout the training. A student might see only a few patients in six months. Hence, the number of clinical patient encounters is of more importance than the time taken to accrue them.
For schools with onsite clinics, students can fill out a form or worksheet that is signed by the clinic for verification. For schools where the students are being mentored from a distance, an online recording system could be used. Some schools may choose to retain the patient encounter forms, while others might record the patient encounters on spreadsheets and return them to the students for their portfolio.
When the student applies for NAMA professional membership, the school informs NAMA that they have completed the required patient encounters, just as the school informs NAMA that they have completed the other educational requirements.

I can't wait to make something from the super-squishy yarn I got in the April 2019 KnitCrate! Plus, don't miss this exclusive coupon code, just for my readers!
KnitCrate is a monthly yarn subscription service, delivering high-quality, hand-dyed yarn to your doorstep. They offer several different crates, with different types of yarn and projects. The crate shown in the video above is the KnitCrate Membership, which includes 2 skeins of premium yarn in the featured colorway, and 2 exclusive patterns (1 knitting pattern, 1 crochet pattern). All KnitCrates ship worldwide with free shipping and handling. Members also receive reward points and discounts towards future purchases.
Use Coupon Code "YAYFORYARN20" for 20% off your first KnitCrate.
Each month's crate has a theme, and this month's theme is "Entomology" (the study of insects). All yarns for this month feature colorways inspired by brightly-colored insects. In the KnitCrate Membership for April, the crate includes 2 skeins of one of two different colorways: "Leaf Eater", or "Ladybug", which I received.
The yarn is brand-new: Audine Wools "Sigh DK", a DK weight blend of Merino Wool and Cashmere. I love when they send yarns with cashmere! Cashmere is sooooo soft and squishy, and if I don't use the yarn right away, I leave it on my desk so I can squeeze it whenever I want. 😁 The colorway I received is a softer, slightly faded red. Even though it is a solid color, because it is hand-dyed, there are very slight variations in the color. It adds a little bit of depth, without being noticeably tonal or variegated. I always gravitate towards brighter colors, so I'm super happy with the colorway I got this month!
This month, the crate included a small pattern booklet, including the patterns from the Membership crate and Sock Membership Crate. This booklet contains 1 crochet pattern (Chrysalis Stole by Liliana Buce-Chmelko), 1 knitting pattern (Canopy Shawl by Destiny Meyer), and a sock knitting pattern (Undergrass by Stephanie Voyer). I love all of the beautiful photos, patterns, and information in the booklet. We also got several downloadable bonus knitting patterns, including the Hens & Chicks Shawl and the Caterpillar Tracks Cowl, both designed by Dallas Ann Prentice.
I haven't decided what I'll make with this yarn yet, but I can't wait to find the perfect project for it!
Thanks so much to KnitCrate for sending me this crate to review!

Opinion: Coats That Borrow - ASHARQ AL-AWSAT English Archive
Opinion: Coats That Borrow
by Samir Atallah | Sep 17, 2016 | Opinion |
Despite the increase in the population of the world, it remains small because it unites friends, families, acquaintances and memories. However, scientists are always researching about the wondrous world that we live in without us realising. One scientist discovers the particles of an atom and another discovers how to measure the size of human cells that cannot be seen. Others are discovering extra planets from time to time with the help of excellent microscopes.
Some of these scientists went to the Amazon jungle in search of species of birds and insects, and some of them travelled to the depths of the sea to photograph and record the millions of different types of sea creatures that are able to live at the bottom of the sea. One of these scientists spent 42 years researching a plant so that he could present the results of the study to the Natural History Museum in London. The walls of this museum are covered with more than 80 million types of embalmed animals, insects and reptiles brought in from around the world.
One scientist who always visited the museum was the author of the book "Birds of Arabia", Richard Meinertzhagen. He would never take his wide and long coats off whilst working and researching at the museum, even in the height of summer. After his death, he graciously donated all the natural collections and models to the museum as a gesture of loyalty. When employees of the museum proceeded to open the boxes and classify what was in them, they discovered treasures and the secret of the wide and long coat! Meinertzhagen used to hide models that he used to steal from the museum underneath his coat and take them back to his house so that he could study them carefully.
Scientists research different things. Some spend their lives in laboratories in search of treatment for epidemics and diseases. Others are not satisfied with the steamboats, trains and cars that have been invented and have decided to break the sound barrier and send vehicles to photograph the surface of Mars and Jupiter.
Are we are alone on this planet or are there creatures on other planets? Tales of flying saucers have enriched the imaginations of the curious and many films depict the arrival of people from space and their return to where they came from. And, of course, we do not know where they arrived and where they came from.
We still do not know the extent to which we are ignorant about natural science that has not been discovered. Scientists are constantly discovering new things; a new species of trees in the mountains of Kenya, reptiles in the Nevada desert and algae in the British countryside. One scientist collected 750,000 species of algae during his trips in Britain alone. The British Natural History Museum is expanding and becoming richer, and stolen items are hidden underneath coats.

Health Care — Walgreens, CVS to pay billions to settle opioid suits
By Terry Galib Last updated Nov 3, 2022
On Tuesday, D.C. was snubbed for Taylor Swift's U.S. stadium tour. On Wednesday, the embattled owner of the Washington Commanders NFL team indicated he was exploring potentially selling the team. Do you believe in coincidences?

CVS, Walgreens to settle opioid lawsuits for $10B
CVS and Walgreens have agreed in principle to pay a combined $10 billion to resolve opioid lawsuits, the pharmacy chains announced Wednesday.
CVS would pay $4.9 billion to states and political subdivisions, like cities and counties, and around $130 million to tribes over 10 years, starting next year, according to a release from the company.
The tentative settlement from CVS would resolve lawsuits and claims involving the addictive painkillers going back a decade or more, though the company says the non-monetary terms are yet to be finalized.
Walgreens also announced Wednesday that it agreed in principle to pay approximately $4.95 billion to states, subdivisions and tribes and to settle all opioid claims against it, according to a release. The funds would be paid over a 15-year period.
"We are pleased to resolve these longstanding claims and putting them behind us is in the best interest of all parties, as well as our customers, colleagues and shareholders," said CVS Health's Chief Policy Officer Thomas Moriarty.
"As one of the largest pharmacy chains in the nation, we remain committed to being a part of the solution, and this settlement framework will allow us to keep our focus on the health and wellbeing of our customers and patients, while making positive contributions to address the opioid crisis," Walgreens said in a statement.
Both companies underscored that the payments are not an admission of liability or wrongdoing. But, if the agreements go through, the settlements could be some of the biggest connected to the opioid crisis.
Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against the companies, alleging that they downplayed the risks involved in opioid painkillers and failing to detect false prescriptions, thereby worsening the opioid epidemic.
HHS renews public health emergency for monkeypox
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Wednesday renewed the national public health emergency for the monkeypox outbreak, with officials stating that the virus is still very present in the U.S. even as cases continue to drop.
Still not over: Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra cited the "continued consequences of an outbreak of monkeypox cases across multiple states" as well as a "consultation with public health officials" for his decision to renew the public health emergency.
LGBTQ public health experts who spoke with The Hill shortly before Becerra's decision was announced voiced their support for a renewal of the public health emergency.
"One of the biggest things that we are continuing to hear about is really the disproportionate access to vaccine distribution, which especially impacts our Black, Latinx and people living with HIV communities," Vanessa Castro, associate director of HIV and health equity for the Human Rights Campaign, said.
An HHS spokesperson told The Hill that the decision to renew was prompted by the need to maintain the flow of data from states and jurisdictions as well as to allow vaccine effectiveness studies to take place.
The public health emergency for monkeypox was first signed on Aug. 4. Public health emergencies from HHS end after 90 days unless they are renewed.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in September expressed "moderate confidence" that monkeypox cases would plateau or continue to decline going forward, though the agency said it was unlikely that monkeypox would be entirely eliminated in the U.S.
TOXIC-METAL AIR POLLUTION WORSE IN SEGREGATED COMMUNITIES
Residents of the most racially segregated communities tend to breathe in higher concentrations of toxic-metal air pollution compared with residents in more integrated areas.
That's according to new research from Colorado State University that assessed air levels of toxic-metals like lead, cadmium and nickel in different communities throughout the country. Levels were recorded between 2010 and 2019.
"While concentrations of total fine particulate matter are two times higher in racially segregated communities, concentrations of metals from anthropogenic sources are nearly ten times higher," authors wrote, adding these pollutants are toxic and can cause cancer.
Results showed industrial regions in the Midwest and shipping ports in coastal cities tended to have higher concentrations of human-emitted metal pollutants like lead. These areas also had high degrees of racial segregation.
These health disparities are largely due to systemic racism, including historic redlining. In the 1930s, laws permitted discriminatory loan distribution to residents based on their neighborhood's desirablilty. This practice was outlawed in 1968 but continues to perpetuate present-day disparities, as it forced populations of color to live closer to sources of pollution.
OFFICIALS PROVIDING $13B TO HELP LOWER ENERGY BILLS
The Biden administration on Wednesday announced $13 billion in funds to provide winter heating assistance for low-income Americans, including $4.5 billion through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
In addition to the LIHEAP funding, provided through the Department of Health and Human Services, the White House announced $9 billion in Inflation Reduction Act funds for energy efficiency upgrades to low-income households.
"As energy prices remain high, this Administration is working to cut costs for working families and businesses through historic investments for consumer rebates for more efficient home improvements and energy-efficient appliances nationwide," Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement.
What's being paid for: The funds include enough to install 500,000 heat pumps and provide upgrades to 500,000 homes, according to a White House call with reporters Tuesday evening.
The White House said this would include separate rebate programs for whole-home upgrades and appliances. White House officials said the initiatives are part of a broader goal to deploy at least 12 million heat pumps by the end of the decade.
Panel finds pulse oximeters less accurate on darker skin
A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel on Tuesday said it was clear that pulse oximeter devices do not provide accurate readings for people with "darker skin pigmentations."
In an all-day meeting, the panel reviewed published literature, Medical Device Reporting (MDR) data and clinical evidence from studies regarding the accuracy of blood oxygen readings from pulse oximeters in people with darker skin pigmentation.
Concerns over accuracy have been longstanding, but the COVID-19 pandemic pushed the issue into the mainstream
The panel discussed the concerns about the devices and made recommendations for health care providers, labeling for patients and study design and analyses.
Inaccurate readings pose a clinical risk in hospitals; for instance a patient may not get moved into intensive care units if they need it.
But the panel was not unanimous in recommendations on how to limit the inaccuracies going forward.
The panel recommended more studies to understand the issue and that device makers include skin pigmentation as a potential factor affecting accuracy in labeling.
Pulse oximeters, which are meant to detect low blood oxygen levels work by shining a light source through a fingertip and analyzing the light that passes through.

Green Leader Elizabeth May calls talk of a coalition government 'premature'
The Canadian Press Published Thursday, October 17, 2019 4:36PM EDT Last Updated Thursday, October 17, 2019 5:36PM EDT
QUALICUM BEACH, B.C. -- While the idea of a coalition government in Canada has taken hold in the final week of the campaign, Green Leader Elizabeth May said on Thursday such talk is "premature" until after the Oct. 21 election.
Speaking at a campaign stop on Vancouver Island, May said parties can plan to work together before ballots are cast in countries with a proportional representation electoral system, but such talk is "meaningless" in Canada's first-past-the-post system.
Sign up for our Election Dispatch newsletter for a daily update on the campaign
Polls suggest a strong possibility of a minority Liberal or Conservative government emerging from Monday's vote.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said over the weekend that he would consider entering into a coalition with Justin Trudeau's Liberals, though he has recently appeared cooler on the idea. Meanwhile, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has been stoking fears about a Liberal-NDP coalition that will raise taxes and increase spending as he pushes for a majority government.
Scheer has said if he wins the most seats in Monday's election, even if not a majority, that would give him a mandate to govern, but that is not necessarily the case: Canada's parliamentary system allows for any combination of parties to support a government that can win confidence votes in the House of Commons.
"Mr. Scheer is wrong in saying he's got a new way that Parliament works in a minority, Mr. Singh is wrong saying he'll only work with the Liberals. We are in a Westminster Parliamentary democratic system," May said. "We are not in a presidential system such as in the United States. We wait until the election is over."
May noted that the conversation might be different had Trudeau kept one of his 2015 campaign promises. Trudeau ran on a platform that included electoral reform, but dropped the idea shortly into his mandate.
"I think we all remember that 2015 was, according to Justin Trudeau, the last election under first-past-the-post," May said. "Somehow we're still operating under first-past-the-post."
May said the Greens are prepared to work within whatever configuration of parties Canada finds itself with after the election.
"We're, in the old expression, keeping our powder dry," May said. "We're prepared to work with (others), and find ways to make Parliament work for Canadians."

I don't think people ever truly connect or understand each other.
What a sad truth… or just a simple fact.
Language was developed as a desperate attempt to express a thought. Since the time of the very first human beings who inhabited the earth, we have grown into a society who want to connect on a deeper level. We all desire understanding from our peers.
At first, I imagine language was used mainly to express necessities such as food or danger. Now we use language to express emotions that really go far beyond mere words. Perhaps in several thousand more years we will have better ways to communicate that which we're thinking and feeling on a whole new level.
Until we develop new methods, we have only the words that we know and the methods that we're currently using. These things don't seem to be sufficient.
I could tell you that I'm in love. I could make it sound pretty with eloquent structure of words. You wouldn't truly understand, though. You can't feel what I'm feeling. And for all you know, I could just be a writer who isn't even in a relationship, let alone in love.
I meet people sometimes who seem to understand me better than most. I can talk to them and feel like we're connecting on a deep level of understanding. Then one day there comes a time where nothing I say seems to reach them, and nothing they say seems to make sense to me.
Haven't we all experienced this? You have a best friend or lover who knows you better than anyone else. They make sense to you and seem to understand and relate. Then one or both of you have a bad day and your words to each other seem to just miss each other.
I can almost see it when it happens. I'm talking to someone, they're talking to me, but our words don't reach each other. It's like when you try to high-five someone multiple times and you miss each other's hands, except with words. You keep trying, but for some reason you just can't make that connection.


According to the recently released 2017 Drug Testing Index by Quest Diagnostics, positive tests for illegal drugs in the American workforce have stayed at their highest level in more than a decade. Analysis of more than 10 million drug test results have found that 4.2 percent of the U.S. workforce tested positive for the second year in a row, the highest percentage of positive tests since 2004. This research is clear evidence that drugs continue to permeate U.S. workplaces.
Increased cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine use is a contributing factor to the elevated percentage of positive drug tests. States that have legalized recreational marijuana use, such as Massachusetts and Nevada, have seen increases in positive drug tests as high as 14 and 43 percent respectively. These changes make it difficult for employers to gauge where and how to best focus their drug prevention efforts to ensure safe and healthy workplaces for their employees.


March 14, 2010; JuneauEmpire.com | If a $130,000 investment yields upwards of $500,000, is that a decent return for charity? That's one of the questions Alaskan state lawmakers are asking as they debate whether to continue a program that allows residents to donate to charity some of the annual dividend each citizen receives from oil, gas and mineral royalties.
Two years ago the state established the "Pick-Click-Give" program that encourages Alaskans to designate a portion of their Permanent Fund Dividend, which in 2009 totaled $1,300 a piece. (Donations are done online at a state website at the same time residents apply for their annual dividend.) At the time, the Rasmuson Foundation pledged nearly $1 million the support the program, including costs to administer and promote it, during the first two years.
In 2009, the program contributed about $500,000 to nonprofits in the state. Now, unless Alaska agrees to continue the program and pay about $130,000 in public funds to administer it, this will be its last year.

Info/FAQ
Who are you guys, anyway?
As it says in the disclaimer in the footer, a bored nerd with a laptop and housepaint. Initially, the banners on the site were a collaboration between two people, Prairie and Evan. Evan's since retired, but Prairie still has no life outside of soccer, primarily the US national teams and New England Revolution, with a passing interest in a few other sides.
What's this site about?
A portfolio of all the silly things I do in the name of soccer fandom, from banners to road trips to pumpkins. Sometimes, it's things other people did that I liked.
You did all those banners by yourself?
Mostly. I always name names when there's more than one person involved in the projects. The entries in the Nuts and Bolts section explain how.
A few reasons:
We'd seen photos and highlights of fan displays from games around the world and thought "hmm, that looks fun, doesn't seem to be any trick to it, how do we get in on that action?"
Sometimes it can seem like our voices get lost in the crowd; doing these projects is how we can be sure we're heard, literally and figuratively
See entries in this section
"But that 100th goal memory, I don't know how to explain it. Every goal was special for the team and for myself, but the 100th goal, having the goalie come up, having Jay Heaps head-butting you – which is probably why I have another concussion. But those are the memories that I will remember. And in the back of that picture, there's a 100 stars banner."
Hey, these are really cool, you should make t-shirts
Long story, but it's not quite possible to do all my banners as shirts. Occasionally, I do get offers to draw shirts for others, and when those happen, I post them on the front page.
Where can I buy these?
You can get originals via my commissions page, or prints from Futbol Artist Network.

Walking along the rocky shoals on Oregon's western coast finds some of the most beautiful sunsets since I lived in Sarasota, Florida. A nice collection of photographs allowed me to combine several scenes to compose this one. It always amazes me how similar so many seashore images look. Some of my favorites are Turner's and Monet's as well as Corot's. Such an opportunity for rich colors.


A Minor penalty shall be assessed any player who trips an opponent. If injury results, a Major penalty shall be assessed.
Note: A penalty shall not be assessed if, in the Referee's opinion, a player is unquestionably hook-checking the puck and obtains possession of it, thereby tripping the puck carrier.
Where a player uses her stick, knee, hand, foot, arm or elbow in any manner or falls or slides along the ice directly in the path of the puck, causing the puck carrier to trip and lose possession of the puck, a penalty shall be assessed.
Note: If a player in the process of falling or sliding along the ice, hits or knocks the puck from her opponent's stick prior to making actual body contact, the tripping action shall be ignored.
A Major penalty plus a Game Misconduct penalty shall be assessed any player who fights.
A player who is identified by the Referee as being the instigator, or the aggressor in a fight shall be assessed a Minor penalty, in addition to any other penalties she may incur.
Team A player high sticks Team B player into the boards. The Team B player retaliates by dropping his gloves and fighting. Who receives the Instigator minor – Player A or B?
REASON: Team B player starts fighting. Team A player may receive a High Sticking penalty for the first infraction, plus a Fighting Major and a Game Misconduct if he fights back.

As part of its commitment to academic excellence, Saddleback College is home to a growing number of prestigious student honor societies. These honor societies are national organizations with local chapters on campus.
The three campus-wide honor societies, Alpha Gamma Sigma, Phi Theta Kappa and Psi Beta are involved in community and college service activities, scholarship fund-raising, social activities, and leader-ship development. They are open to day and evening students, whether part-time or full-time.
Within each society, scholarships are available either from the local chapter, the parent society, or four-year colleges and universities that reserve scholarship monies for society members. Membership is noted on Saddleback transcripts.
Alpha Gamma Sigma, the California community-college honor society, was established in 1922 as an extension of the California Scholarship Federation. It has had a strong presence on the Saddleback campus for many years. Students who have completed 12 semester units and have a
cumulative GPA of 3.0 may apply to join Saddleback's Sigma Epsilon chapter. In order to maintain membership, students must apply and pay dues each semester.
Phi Theta Kappa, the international community-college honor society, was established in 1918 and now has over 1200 chapters. Chartered in December 1996, Saddleback's Beta Epsilon Beta chapter was the largest at induction in the society's history. Students with a minimum 3.50 cumulative
GPA and at least 12 units are invited to join.
Psi Beta, the national community-college honor society was established in 1919 and has had a strong presence on the Saddleback College campus for many years.

In order to establish membership, students must apply and pay the once-in-a-lifetime national membership dues.

Below I share the one thing kids need to remember in the midst of conflict.
The reality is–conflict is inevitable, no matter if you're two years old or 80 years old.
The wonderful thing about conflict is it's not necessarily a bad thing and sometimes good can come out of it if handled in a healthy way.
I was a counselor in a private school for kids from elementary- high school and I've trained adults and professionals on how to handle conflict. In most of the situations, one thing always stands out in conflict situations.
What I noticed is that whoever was in the position of dishing out their frustration, anger and sometimes physical retribution the person on the other end receiving it, just stood there and took the physical or verbal punishment.
I see it all the time with children.
I'll use my kids as an example, but remember this happens with adults as well. For example, my younger and middle child are playing just fine. Suddenly the younger one snatches a toy from the older one. My older child angrily says, "Give it back." My younger child refuses to return it and then begins to kick him.
Seriously, I don't know how many times I've said this to my boys and they look at me in shock and awe. As if I said the most enlightening thing ever.
I really don't know what it is that's engrained in us that keeps us there. Is it politeness and we think, I shouldn't walk away even though this person is cursing and yelling at me? Or is it that we don't want them to think they've won and risk looking like a coward, so we just going to stand here and let them verbally abuse us?
I have to remind my boys to set boundaries with friends or strangers and not to let them talk to them in rude or mean ways.
I constantly find myself coaching my kids through conflict but my hope is they will eventually adopt these methods for themselves.
So, what is the one thing our kids need to remember especially in bullying situations: they can walk away.
You can walk away. You can always walk away, unless of course someone has you in head lock position which is not rare to find in my house with boys who like to wrestle.
Walk away, is very simple! It will help them feel empowered. But for some reason both kids and adults tend to forget.
Put an end to it–In your most confident voice tell them to stop.
Express your thoughts–When you called me a baby that hurt my feelings.
Warning–If you continue saying that I'm going to leave the room.
Leave– If they continue doing the same thing then walk out of the room or area.
The above doesn't necessarily work for bullying situations the example below would work best.
Put an end to it–look them in the eye and in your most confident voice say–Stop!
Our goal as parents is to give our kids tools so they can feel confident when we are not around.
So whatever you do, try not to fight the fight for them even if it's just their little brother.
These little sibling fights at home are the perfect training grounds for your kids to learn how to stand up to others. Though with bullying situations you may need to intervene after your child has done all of the necessary steps and it still continues.
Why do you think it's hard for us to walk away?
