Local mothers who lost their loved ones to overdoses find a simple way to keep their memories alive—encouraging others to pick up the phone.
It was very clear when police discovered Sal Marchese, dead of a heroin overdose in a parking lot in Camden, that he hadn't been alone.
His missing wallet was the first clue, but when his mother—whose car he had borrowed—was told the passenger seat was lowered way back, she knew. Someone had left her son to die.
He had been clean for about 90 days, following a hard-fought struggle in and out of treatment.
"I remember him kissing me goodbye," says Patty DiRenzo, of Blackwood, of that Sept. 23, 2010, night, "and the next thing I knew, the police were knocking on my door at 2 a.m."
For Kass Foster, of National Park, it was early on a Sunday morning in 1997 when she received the call. Her son, Christian, was found dead—lying on the lawn of a friend's house. He had been left there all night.
"My husband ran across town and tried to revive him, but it was too late," she recalls, her voice still shaking.
DiRenzo and Foster have more in common than they'd prefer. Their sons were left alone when they were most in need of help.
But rather than be consumed by grief, they became empowered. Their sons weren't what people envision of drug users, which is often the case. They were good kids raised in good homes, both well known around town as the guys who would give the shirt off their backs to help a neighbor.
They deserved the same in return. And so in 2011, when they heard of the New Jersey Drug Policy Alliance's campaign to pass legislation that would protect both the caller and victim when a 911 call is placed to report an overdose, their paths crossed when they saw their chance to help others.
Their victory came this past May when, after an initial veto, Gov. Chris Christie did an uncharacteristic 180 and signed the Overdose Protection Act into law—otherwise known as the Good Samaritan law. With DiRenzo and a crowd of other parents around him—including Jon Bon Jovi, whose own daughter had charges dropped following a drug overdose in New York—Christie announced his support for the bill, which provides protection against charges and parole violations, as well as shields health care professionals or bystanders who administer overdose antidotes like naloxone.
Now, after a two-year battle, another campaign begins to get the word out and make sure users and law enforcement alike are aware of the law.
"This is the one thing I can do in Sal's memory to make a difference," DiRenzo says of her mission, and with September not only marking the three-year anniversary of his death but also National Recovery Month, she's ready.
A growing problem
Drug overdoses overtook car wrecks as the leading cause of accidental death in New Jersey in 2009, according to the Drug Policy Alliance, which mirrors the national trend. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, fatal drug overdoses have increased for 11 straight years.
Nearly 6,000 people have died in New Jersey alone since 2004, including 752 in 2009, and the majority was from prescription opioids, followed by heroin. The highest amount of deaths in the state was found in Camden County with 97. In Burlington and Gloucester counties, it was 35 and 36, respectively.
For Marchese, his addiction began like most—with marijuana, followed by prescription drugs that then became too expensive. The alternative was heroin. "He was a really good person who unfortunately struggled with a disease," DiRenzo says. "He wanted so hard to not be that person because he was embarrassed. You could see the pain in his eyes."
There was a good three-year period. He went to Pennco Tech, graduated with the top of the class and went into the heating and air conditioning business. But then he was prescribed painkillers for a tooth problem, and it all started again. He was 26 when he died, leaving behind a fiancée and 18-month-old son.
"I basically do everything I can to keep his memory alive to make sure what happened with Sal doesn't happen with another child," says DiRenzo, 52, noting there are several aspects to this fight—such as increasing funding and access to treatment—but a simple phone call could have saved his life, so it's a good place to start.
According to Roseanne Scotti, state director of the Drug Policy Alliance, that's the case in the majority of overdose deaths. Typically, an overdose victim doesn't pass away until one to three hours after the drug is taken; and often, they are not alone.
"Any time you criminalize and stigmatize something, you're driving people into the shadows," Scotti says. "That was the situation we had here in New Jersey. We had overdose being the leading cause of accidental death and people being terrified to pick up the phone and call because they were going to be arrested."
Their position was clear: Calling 911 should never be a crime.
There are 14 states now that have passed similar overdose protection laws in the last five years. "We're talking about people," Scotti says. "These are people's children, people's brothers, sisters and parents. What you want to do is build bridges to people to get them the help they need instead of erecting barriers. That was the policy we wanted to change."
It changed rather quickly; two years of campaigning is relatively short in terms of getting bills passed. It was a sense of urgency that she feels got the job done, with overdoses rising every year and it being recognized as a public health issue.
And it couldn't have been done without parent advocates, particularly a fortuitous phone call from DiRenzo inquiring about how she could help. Gov. Christie, during his press conference, said it was the thoughtful—and persistent—letters he received from her in particular that changed his mind on the issue.
DiRenzo says after the governor signed the bill, it was the first time she really smiled since her son passed away.
Spreading the message
DiRenzo and Foster, one of the numerous other parents who attended the high-profile press conference, are now immersed in getting the word out about the Good Samaritan law.
Foster herself is no stranger to advocacy. Following her son's death at age 27, she formed the Marlton-based Parent-To-Parent organization in 1998, along with Susan Foose, Louise Habicht and Kathleen Dobbs, which is a support group and coalition to fight substance abuse. One of its major accomplishments was their push to open Daytop in Salem County in 2006, a residential treatment center focused solely on addiction among teenagers and young adults.
"He wasn't the type of kid who had problems in school," Foster says of Christian, who picked up heroin at age 25. "Everyone loved him. Even his older brothers looked up to him."
The family tried multiple times to get him help, but available beds are hard to come by. He was on the waiting list for a facility in North Jersey when he died, and Foster had to make the call afterward to say they could take him off.
Now she works in conjunction with DiRenzo, the Drug Policy Alliance and the state Department of Health. They hand out posters and palm cards in English and Spanish at police departments, pharmacies, rehab and treatment facilities, needle exchange locations, public health meetings, train stations and even grocery stores—anywhere they'll be noticed.
"I have that fight in me to make changes and keep his memory alive," Foster, now 70, says. "This could have made a big difference [for my son]. No one called 911. I don't know why no one called 911 and why they just let him lay there. People are afraid, but this law will make a big, big difference and save many lives."
The New Jersey Attorney General's Office has also assisted in the effort by sending out notices to every police department to make sure they are up to speed on the change. Despite some initial opposition from some for fear of a "get-out-of-jail free" card, most are now on board, including the Camden County Police Department, which witnesses much of the state's cases in Camden City.
"Actually, the Good Samaritan Law is congruent with the highest priority of the police, which is to preserve life," explains Chief J. Scott Thomson. "Unfortunately, in the city, we see a disproportionate number of people who succumb from overdoses while battling their disease of addiction. Law enforcement can never lose perspective that each one of these individuals is somebody's son, daughter or loved one. I support the new law in large part because it puts the person before the penalty and ultimately will save lives."
Exactly what difference it makes will be hard to quantify. Scotti says the ultimate goal is obviously to see overdose numbers decline, but for now, anecdotal evidence will suffice. There has been plenty so far, she says, such as a grandfather who recently called the alliance to report his granddaughter was arrested despite the law. It's a success in that he knew of the law, and in that the police then dropped the charges.
The law doesn't provide blanket immunity, of course. Large quantities of drugs—i.e. from a drug dealer—would still warrant charges. Police can also seize drugs and paraphernalia, but advocates feel this helps chip off a portion of the fear.
"I believe this is what Sal would have wanted," DiRenzo says. "It's hard to tell people my son's story. You want them to know the person he was and for them to understand, but it's hard for people to get past that stigma of addiction. These are kids who want help, and we need to save our kids."
Marchese never received more than 11 days of treatment due to underfunding and bed shortages. The last time he was in treatment, he was discharged involuntarily due to funding, while court-mandated patients—the ones only there because they had to be, as DiRenzo puts it—got to stay.
Foster recalls the time her son called in the middle of the night asking for help. She and her husband went and picked him up from K&A, a crime-ridden corner in Kensington, and took him to a treatment facility, only to be turned away because he didn't have a referral.
The Good Samaritan law is just one piece of the puzzle, they both note.
"I'm not done yet because I'm the type of person who's out there and I just want to make it happen," Foster says. "If you sit back and complain, no one's going to know about it. Nothing's going to change."

Starliner descends one chute short, but NASA declares success
By&nbspCat Hofacker|November 4, 2019
Parachute troubles not unique to Commercial Crew
Moments after the Boeing CST-100 Starliner landed in the New Mexico desert, the livestream narrators from Boeing and NASA declared the capsule's first flight an "absolutely beautiful sight." Undercutting that excitement was the fact that one of the parachutes failed to deploy.
The trouble occurred at the tail end of the pad abort test, in which Boeing flight controllers at White Sands Missile Range fired the collection of engines and thrusters that would whisk Starliner and its crew away from a fizzling or exploding launch vehicle. At an altitude of about 1.5 kilometers, Starliner's sequence of parachute deployments began, but one of its three main parachutes did not deploy.
"Although designed with three parachutes, two opening successfully is acceptable for the test parameters and crew safety," NASA said in a statement released about an hour after the test.
When I contacted Boeing for clarification, spokesman Josh Barrett told me Starliner had "a deployment anomaly, not a parachute failure."
Among those watching the NASA livestream was Jonathan McDowell, a Harvard professor who writes the Jonathan's Space Report newsletter cataloging launches. He was surprised by NASA's upbeat reaction.
"Sure, two out of three is OK on an actual flight, but on a test, you want things to go right," he said. "You want to make sure there's not some generic problem in the system."
"It's concerning," he added, "especially in the context of other recent parachute problems."
A July 2018 report from NASA's Government Accountability Office found that parachute certification for both Starliner and the SpaceX Crew Dragon has been one of the biggest reasons for delays in the Commercial Crew program; nearly two years past the 2017 deadline, neither contractor has flown crew. NASA is counting on these contractors to restore the country's ability to launch American astronauts from American soil and end U.S. reliance on Russian Soyuz spacecraft that have been NASA's sole method of transportation to the International Space Station since 2011.
These difficulties are not without precedent. Take the Apollo 15 mission, in which one of the main chutes deflated during landing. The spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean with its two remaining parachutes without injury to the crew. A post-mission analysis later faulted missing shroud lines, or the thin cords that attached the parachute's canopy to the riser that pulled it from the spacecraft during deployment.
More recently, the European Space Agency said in June that the parachutes for its ExoMars 2020 rover "suffered unexpected damage" during a drop test earlier that month.
Part of the difficulty, McDowell said, is that because parachutes are "floppy systems, fabric and ropes all packed in, it's maybe not as amenable to rigid analysis as the plumbing of a rocket engine."
But he thinks those difficulties are more understandable for a parachute that must survive the extreme Martian environment versus the ones for Commercial Crew that have been proven throughout the last 60 years of human spaceflight.
"We've been doing parachutes on returning capsules for a long time, so you'd think by now we'd know how to do this," he said.
It's too early to know the cause of Starliner's parachute troubles during Monday's test, Barrett the Boeing spokesman told me. Boeing will review data captured by gravity sensors on a test dummy inside the spacecraft to see how many G-forces astronauts would have encountered. In the meantime, NASA doesn't expect a delay for Starliner's first uncrewed flight, currently scheduled for Dec. 17. For that test, Starliner will launch atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket and dock with the space station.

Meghan McCain: Sarah Palin Brought 'Drama,' 'Panic' To 2008 Presidential Campaign (VIDEO)
Meghan McCain: Sarah Palin Brought 'Drama,' 'Panic' To Presidential Campaign
Elyse Siegel
Growth Strategy Expert
In an appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), dished about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, her father's running mate during the 2008 presidential campaign.
The younger McCain referred to Palin as "a Republican feminist," but wouldn't say whether she would vote for Palin if the she runs in 2012.
The insights come as the 25-year-old political daughter releases her new book "Dirty Sexy Politics," which offers a unique glimpse into life on the campaign trail as well as her take on the political trajectory of the Republican party.
Here's an excerpt of the one-on-one that went down between McCain, a Daily Beast columnist, and GMA host George Stephanopoulos:
Stephanopoulos: You write about her quite a bit in the book, you say there are a lot of things you like about Sarah Palin, but you also point out that she snubbed your mom's efforts to reach out to the Palins, that she wasn't much of a team player. You talk about doubts at the end, where you thought she actually hurt the campaign.
McCain: Yes, but I do clearly state at the end that we did not lose because of her. And, I'm speaking out now because I do have conflicting feelings about her. I mean, she brought so much momentum and enthusiasm to the campaign.
In her newly-unveiled book, McCain writes about the darker side of Palin's presence on the 2008 campaign. When Stephanopoulos asked about an excerpt highlighting the "drama, stress, complications, panic and loads of uncertainty" the Alaska governor brought to the political operation, McCain responded: "It's true, I mean a lot of things happened, but I think that's how campaigns are in general, no matter who comes."

I've never voted in a presidential primary before.
I've always voted in state and local primaries but never for president.
The main reason has been that the presidential candidate has been decided long before Utah had its say. So when the time came to cast a presidential ballot it felt rather pointless.
This year it's actually been a race for candidates from both political parties. This is good as it seems to have generated a lot of interest in the election – a good thing for the country, in my opinion.
Instead of letting a handful of early primary states decide, it looks like the race for president could extend well beyond today for both the Democrat and Republican nominees.
To make it even more exciting Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Mitt Romney all are solid candidates and all have a good chance at becoming our next president so interest from both Democrats and Republicans are high.
On my way home from work this evening, I'll be stopping by the local elementary school to vote. And even though my candidate probably won't win Utah, it still feels good to actually partipate in an election with such high voter interest.
Oh, and if want to see which candidate, best reflects your views, be sure to take the Electoral Compass test. It got mixed reviews from readers of this blog, but it matched me up perfectly with my candidate of choice.

Clinical Applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Author : Suresh K. Mukherji
Summary : Clinical Applications of MR Spectroscopy Edited by Suresh K. Mukherji, M.D. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a powerful diagnostic tool for a variety of brain disorders—from epilepsy and tumors to age-related degeneration and strokes. Unlike magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which gives us a picture of anatomical and physiological conditions, MRS generates a frequency domain spectrum that provides information about biochemical and metabolic processes occurring within tissues. Clinical Applications of MR Spectroscopy presents a short, practical treatment of MRS today. Comprising contributions by leading authorities in the field, the book discusses MRS techniques used for diagnostic purposes and research, terminologies and examples drawn from clinical experience, and ways to correlate MRS results with other modalities to enhance our understanding of disease processes and the outcomes of particular treatments. Topics include: Basic principles of clinical proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy MRS in the evaluation of epilepsy Proton MRS of brain tumors Proton MRS in selected childhood disorders MRS and spectroscopic imaging for cerebrovascular disease MRS of degenerative brain disease in the elderly MRS of the head and neck Potential clinical applications of new techniques in MRS Correlation of functional brain imaging with MRS Clinical Applications of MR Spectroscopy provides 150 photographs and figures to illustrate the interpretation of MRS signals, as well as fully referenced chapters for those wishing to expand their knowledge of the underlying science. It is an essential guide to the state of the art for radiologists and neurologists using this technology to improve patient care.

Development of Dynamic in Vivo Carbon-13 Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for Rat Brain Imaging at 7-Tesla
Author : Chathura Kumaragamage
Summary : "The overarching objective of this thesis is to develop novel methods for dynamic in vivo carbon-13 (13C) Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) for rodent brain imaging. Dynamic 13C MRS is a powerful technique that provides non-invasive means to quantify neurotransmitter cycling rates and cell-specific neuroenergetics in the brain, following the infusion of a 13C labeled substrate. Proton observed carbon edited (POCE) MRS is a popularly used indirect 13C MRS technique, typically implemented with a surface coil transceiver on the proton channel to benefit from surface coil sensitivity gains. POCE MRS implementations for a surface coil transceiver benefit from the use of relatively long and power intensive adiabatic radiofrequency (RF) pulses to minimize nutation angle errors, signal losses, and artifacts due to the spatially varying magnetic field (B1+). The first goal of this work was thus to develop an RF coil platform with homogeneous B1+, in addition to providing receive sensitivity gains of a surface coil. This was achieved by combining a proton volumetric resonator, and detunable surface coil for proton signal reception, in addition to a surface coil on the 13C channel. A point resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) localized POCE MRS sequence with a 12.6-ms echo time (TE) was implemented with short conventional pulses, enabling uniform nutation, two-shot edited POCE MRS, combined with a short TE; a feat that cannot be achieved with all-surface coil based approaches described in the literature.An extension to the above goal was to improve the PRESS-POCE sequence by reducing the sequence TE and minimize T2 and homonuclear J-evolution related losses. To that end, a novel PRESS localized POCE sequence that utilizes simultaneous editing and localization pulses (SEAL-PRESS) allowing the TE to be reduced to a theoretically optimal value of 8.1-ms was implemented. The SEAL-PRESS sequence was validated in phantom and in an in vivo rat preparation. Carbon editing efficiency of the SEAL-PRESS sequence was >95%, and provided a >17% improvement of 13C labeled metabolites relative to the previously described PRESS-POCE sequence. The final goal of this thesis was to investigate the feasibility of sequentially acquiring indirect and direct 13C MRS during a dynamic in vivo 13C MRS session, to harvest the benefits of indirect and direct 13C methods, with the ultimate goal of improving metabolic modeling. Modifications to the RF chain were necessary to extend the developed coil platform to be capable of both direct and indirect 13C MRS. A PRESS-localized semi-adiabatic distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) sequence was designed and evaluated in phantom, and the SEAL-PRESS sequence was used for indirect 13C MRS. Phantom data showed that measurements made with the two sequences were in reasonable agreement. Finally a dynamic in vivo 13C MRS study in rat brain was conducted while sequentially acquiring data with both sequences. Time-resolved indirect 13C spectra were obtained as expected, however due to much poorer sensitivity of direct 13C signal acquisition; no meaningful time-resolved spectra were recorded. Avenues for SNR degradation along the RF chain were investigated, and considerations for the next iteration coil setup are discussed. " --

MR Spectroscopy of Pediatric Brain Disorders
Author : Stefan Blüml,Ashok Panigrahy
Summary : Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a modality available on most clinical MR scanners and readily integrated with standard MR imaging (MRI). For the brain in particular, MRS has been a powerful research tool providing additional clinically relevant information for several disease families such as brain tumors, metabolic disorders, and systemic diseases. The most widely-available MRS method, proton (1H; hydrogen) spectroscopy, is FDA approved for general use in the US and can be ordered by clinicians for patient studies if indicated. There are several books available that describe applications of MRS in adults. However, to the best of our knowledge there is currently no book available that focuses exclusively on applications in pediatrics. MR spectroscopy in the pediatric population is different from adults for two main reasons. Particularly in the newborn phase the brain undergoes biochemical maturation with dramatic changes of the "normal" biochemical fingerprint. Secondly, brain diseases in the pediatric population are different from adult disorders. For example, brain tumors, which are mostly gliomas in the adults, often originate from different cell types and are also more diverse even within the same type and grade of tumor. This diversity of diseases and its implications for MR spectroscopy has not been addressed sufficiently in the literature, we believe. The target audience for "MR Spectroscopy of Pediatric Brain Disorders" are thus both clinicians and researchers involved with pediatric brain disorders. This includes radiologists, neurologists, neurooncologists, neurosurgeons, and more broadly the neuroscience and neurobiology community. This book will provide the necessary background information to understand the basics of MR spectroscopy. This will be followed by a detailed discussion of the normal biochemical maturation which will highlight the metabolic differences between the pediatric and adult brain. Thereafter, in SECTION I individual chapters will address various pediatric brain disease families. Of particular importance for pediatrics are case studies. For that reason, SECTION II will contain a large number of case studies. This will be particularly important for clinicians who may want to see examples of MRS for various conditions. A standardized format will be used for case reports that allow the reader to quickly understand the history of each case presented and the significance of the findings. The case reports will also include information from other imaging modalities to point out any added value of MRS in addition to conventional studies and clinical information. This section is necessary because the format of providing more complete information about individual patients is not practical for the chapters in SECTION I.

Clinical Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Author : E.B. Cady
Summary : Nobody can know everything. For the successful application of techniques based on nuclear magnetic resonance to clinical problems, it is a vital necessity that individuals with widely different skills should learn a little of each others' trades by co-operation and communication. Ernest Cady has long proved himself a master of these arts to his colleagues at University College London, and by writing this excellent book he extends his experience to a wide circle of readers. Although the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) phenomenon had been predicted theoretically (and to some degree demonstrated experimentally) appreciably earlier, it required the advances in electronics that took place during World War II to turn NMR into a practical technique, as demonstrated independently in 1946 by Bloch and Purcell. Since then, NMR has been used extensively and increasingly by chemists and physicists. In the 1970s the first applications of NMR to animal organs yielded important advances in our knowledge of the biochemical and physiological processes as they occur in genuinely intact tissues. They showed incidentally that some conventional techniques introduce significant artifacts.

Hey, I am sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. This is never easy news to get, but is does get easier and you will be ok. You are in the same situation as lots of other people.
ayan, nagpakita na ng totoong kulay. kabobohan na ng taga baguio kapag binoto pa nila ulit yan. huwag kayong gumaya sa mga taga makati.
i live with my partiner almost five years both of us we went for test, she was tested hiv positive and i was tested negative when went back after two months it was the same. Than im not understanding this at all?
Similar to comment #8 and #9 above, has anyone done any work with parsing the logs? Just to cite the easy example, I think it would be interesting to see how much time is spent per category.
Brad, many times when i read your posts, one phrase comes to mind and this is one of those times¨C grow up.

Australian synth-pop band Pseudo Echo formed in 1982 and were influenced by the emergent British New Romantic bands Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and Ultravox. By 1984, Pseudo Echo were second in popularity in their homeland only to the mighty INXS. According to rock music historian Ian McFarlane, Pseudo Echo "combined flash clothes, blow-wave hairstyles, youthful exuberance and accessible synth-pop to arrive at a winning combination … and found a ready-made audience among teenagers who fawned on the band's every move".
Their international breakthrough hit was their pop- rock makeover of the Lipps Inc track, the disco classic 'Funky Town'. This was a worldwide smash hit in 1987 reaching #1 in Australia and Canada, #8 in the UK and #6 on the US Billboard Hot 100!
The bonus tracks include the definitive collection of the contemporaneous promotional remixes that were hitherto exclusive to North America as well as the B-sides and 12" versions of the singles that were commercially released from the album in the UK and US.

2021 NBA Draft to be held in person at Barclays Center
By Kurt HelinJul 15, 2021, 7:00 PM EDT
Last year's virtual NBA Draft had a few location background and emotional highlights, but much like NBA games themselves, it is just better with everyone in the same room.
The 2021 NBA Draft will take place in person at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the NBA announced.
Invitations will go out to players in the coming days, and likely will include top picks Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, Jalen Green, and more to be in the Green Room at Barclays. Tickets for fans go on sale July 19.
The NBA has conducted the NBA Draft at the Barclays Center nearly every year since the building opened, this will be the eighth time it will serve as host.
The Detroit Pistons are on the clock with the first pick — likely Cunningham, but there are trade rumors.

C: You don't; the Coke is free.
J: But wasn't a Big Mac $2.49 last week?
C: Then you can't have the burger.
J: Okay, fine, i'll pay the $3.99 and throw the Coke away.
J: How can that be? They're two totally seperate things!
C: No, watch. (takes Big Mac, dunks it in a tank of Coke) See?
J: Why did you just do that?!?!

"Life is about stepping out if your comfort zone"
I am caring, energetic and hard working. I like music and enjoying playing guitar and singing. I love to travel.
td123 hasn't asked any friends to write a recommendation yet.


You wanted items? You got items!
(Optional) First of all I'd like to apologize for the long time with no news… It's really hard to design, develop and take care of social network… but hey, let's pick up a notch and make the best game we can.
Do you like playing games where you can improve your weapon? Get a better armor? How about change fighting stiles?
When I first started designing Guardian of Lore I had one thing very clear, and it was that I wanted to give players the choice of how they wanted to protect Lore. So I immediately thought about of course a weapon and a shield as the first choice and then two weapon fighting… but it didn't felt right… in a 2D platformer, what would be the benefit of having a second weapon in hand. So of course… throwing it was the answer!!!
While playing GOL you can have the option of carring a shield or a throwing weapon in your left hand.
Every weapon, spell, enemy or trap in Guardian of Lore, has a group of types of damages. Represented by the colorful icons you can see in the images and the amount of damage of each kind it makes.
For example in the first picture the spear makes piercing damage for 10 points, and electricity damage for 20 points for a total of 30 damage points to the target you throw to.
The one on the other side.
The one that receives the hit will have three possible reactions to each kind of damage.
It can resist it and ignore half of it.
It can be immune to it, and negate all of it.
It can be weak to, and receive twice the damage from it.
After going through that damage system, some armors will provide a small amount of damage reduction regarding the type of source from it.
So as you see, the armor you chose in every fight or level, will have an impact on your ability to survive it.
Why would I choose a shield?
This is only a few of the many features we are putting into Guardian of Lore prior to the BETA release that we estimate is happening before the end of the year.
As always we'll be working as hard as we can, and I'll try to give more constant updates on the matter.

Kilmahog (: Cell of St. Chug) is a hamlet situated half a mile to the west of Callander, Scotland.

Toponym
Kilmahog is supposedly derived from the Scottish Gaelic, Cille MoChùig, meaning cell of Chug (a church dedicated to Saint Chug). Although a medieval chapel was located at Kilmahog, the identity of Chug is not authentically known. Place name scholars have proposed that this could be Saint Cuaca from Meath in Ireland. Alternative evidence suggests that this Saint is the sixth century Saint Machutus (who may have originally been named Mahagw).

Geography
Kilmahog lies on the Garbh Uisge, also known as the "River Leny", at the junction of the Trossachs and Lochearnhead roads. The village today consists of a few houses and two woollen mill retail facilities (the Trossachs Woollen Mill and the Kilmahog Woollen Mill,) with farm land to the north and forestry to the south. One of the woollen mills retains a working loom. There is a local pub, near the site of the old chapel, called The Lade Inn, and the Scottish Real Ale shop, which aims to stock all bottled Scottish ales. The "lade" is a man-made diversion from the river that was used to power the watermills.

Nearby, Samson's Putting Stone sits precariously on Bochastle hill. Local legend has it that the stone came to be there as a result of a putting competition between a family of giants. The winner of the competition was Samson who lived on Ben Ledi (other versions of the legend mention Ben Lawers). A modern interpretation is that the stone is a glacial erratic carried from the Glen Dochart region and left there when the ice retreated at the end of the last ice age.

History
South of Kilmahog the remains of an ancient hillfort can be seen at Dunmore overlooking Loch Venachar. The fort is semi-oval in shape and occupies a defensive position on a low hill. It was likely a large defended structure visible from some distance. Excavations have revealed a well in the inner area and signs of vitrified stonework. Although the fort remains undated it was likely to have been founded no later than the Iron Age and may have been in use until the Middle Ages. Today only the remains of the ramparts are visible.

Nearby, the remains of first century Roman ramparts attributed to the campaigns of Agricola can be seen at Bochastle in the fields to the east of the former railway. The fortification was constructed during the Flavian occupation in Scotland around 80 CE and it may have served as a northern fort of the Gask Ridge frontier. It was situated to overlook the approach to Loch Katrine and the Pass of Leny. The fort was likely in use for a few years at most and only the earthworks are visible today.

Kilmahog used to be the site of St. Chug's chapel, after which it is named. Ecclesiastical letters record a chapel at Kilmahog in 1239 as a mensal church of the Bishop of Dunblane. All that remains of the chapel is a small burial ground with stones dating back to the late 17th century. Kilmahog was the site of an early 19th-century toll house and later a tweed mill.

The former Callander and Oban Railway line passed through Kilmahog; the trackbed is now part of the National Cycle Network (route 7) and the Rob Roy Way. The village sits at the Northern point of a loop known as the Trossachs Bird of Prey Trail.

Use in fiction
Kilmahog was used as the inspiration for the main setting in the novel "Under the Mountain" by Sophie Cooke.

W.R. Burnett followed up his 1929 gangster novel Little Caesar with 1930's Iron Man, the story of a boxer named Kid Mason who is laid low not by his ring opponents but by the machinations of unsavory hangers on and a femme fatale—who's unfortuntately also his wife. We showed you the hardback dust jacket to this a while back. This paperback from Avon goes full pulp with the teaser, promising a "toboggan-slide of passion, a headlong express that rips through the heavens and plunges to the bottom of hell." That sounds fun, and indeed it was well reviewed, and was adapted into a film in 1931 with Lew Ayres as Mason and Jean Harlow as his wife. The cover art is uncredited.

Last season's Gr.2 Royal Stakes (2000m) winner Hello It's Me made a winning start to her spring campaign when she took out the opening event at Ruakaka on Sunday.
The Darci Brahma mare was having her first start since taking out the Ellerslie feature on New Year's Day to round out her three-year-old season.
Prepared by the local powerhouse stable of Chris Gibbs and new training partner, Michelle Bradley, Hello It's Me was expected to have too many guns for her five rivals in the rating 82 1200m sprint and so it proved as she cruised clear in the run home to record an effortless victory.
Gibbs was delighted to kick the day off in style as he outlined some ambitious plans for his charge.
"She was a bit chubby and went into it quite fat, so I said to Cameron (Lammas) not to knock her around if he could help it, although she was here to win if she could," he said.
"There was always going to be pace in the race and it suited us right down to the ground. They took each other on, so we couldn't have been happier.
Hello It's Me holds a nomination for the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) with Gibbs keen to see her win a place in the event.
"She is in the Livamol so if we can sneak her in I'd love to have a go at it," he said.
"We wanted to get through today as she has been off the scene with a few little niggling problems that we think we have ironed out.

Eight Munster Garda Officers Suspended From Duty
Eight Gardaí, based in the Munster region, have been suspended from duty by the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Same suspension is part of an ongoing investigation into possible alleged corruption.
The eight officers were initially suspended yesterday on suspicion of failing to prosecute road traffic offences, and their suspensions account for the largest number of Gardaí ever stood down from the Irish police force in any one day. In total, their suspension brings to 11 the number of Irish police officers currently on suspension as part of this particular investigation.
The Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation, which is a national unit, examining alleged Garda corruption, have identified a large number of fixed charge penalty notices, which they now suspect was not being prosecuted through the court system.
We understand that Gardaí; having been informally interviewed by investigators, have claimed that they were directed by other officers to abandon certain of their intended prosecutions.
We understand that Gardaí can no longer cancel fixed charge penalty notices due to the system having been centralised, with authority to strike out notices now strictly limited.
An Garda Síochána first suspected, in early 2019, that information had been disclosed about a Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) investigation into the activities of a particular criminal gang in the Munster area.
The gang was suspected of being involved, amongst other crimes, of drug trafficking and was specifically targeted by the Criminal Assets Bureau.
To this end, CAB carried out eight searches in the south of Ireland on March 15th of 2019, seizing 115 cars and thousands in both euro and sterling which they believed were the proceeds of crime.
At that time, CAB suspected that information, from its then ongoing investigation, had been leaked to certain members of the gang. Following this, three members of the Garda force, including an inspector, a superintendent and a detective, were subsequently arrested and questioned in March 2019.
All three officers continue to remain suspended, together with the eight Gardaí, suspended just yesterday.
We further understand that a number of Garda Stations have also been searched as part of this investigation.
