Zachary Quinto Wants Trump Held Accountable For His Attacks On LGBT Community
On Top Magazine Staff
Out actor Zachary Quinto said in a recent interview that he wants President Donald Trump held accountable for his attacks on the LGBT community.
Quinto is best known for playing Spock in the 2009 Star Trek reboot and its sequels Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond.
He plays Harold in the Broadway revival of Mart Crowley's 1968 play The Boys in the Band. The play, which includes gay themes, opens May 31.
Speaking with LGBT glossy The Advocate, Quinto was asked whether he has hope "we'll be rid of this administration soon?"
"I believe the balance will shift. If we're talking about all these investigations and the undeniable corruption of this president and administration, I would love nothing more [than] for them to be accountable for their egregious misrepresentation and attacks on equality of all kinds, not just in the LGBTQ community, but across the spectrum of disadvantaged, disenfranchised, impoverished people all over the country," Quinto answered. "These are people who have no one's interests at the center of their Machiavellian ambitions. I'd love to see them brought to some measure of justice. I have to be reminded, though, in the eight years when Obama was president, eight years where all us liberals and social progressives relished in the progress made, there was a whole swath of the country who felt exactly how we feel now. It is part of the political spectrum and political process."
Quinto said that the thought of a second Trump term makes his "blood curdle."
"I just hope that people see through these egregious lies and misguiding of our country," he said.
"The thing that scares me too is if he does resign, Mike Pence is no better. Especially for the LGBTQ community, he's the worst avaricious opponent of our community that we could ever hope for. So it's not like what's waiting in the wings is a rainbow flag and a hug for our agenda. He creeps me out more than anyone in the administration. The lady doth protest too much. I feel like we just need to weather the storm and get through what we're in, whether it's in six months because he gets exposed for the fraud that he is or two years because hopefully America wises up and realizes we can do infinitely better," Quinto added.

Clinical psychologist and leadership consultant Henry Cloud opens his book with a personal anecdote. A friend asked him to advise her two sons about what it takes to be a big success in life. He told them that successful people have areas of competence and can connect with other people to build alliances, but that the third ingredient of success is harder to define: character. Using examples from his extensive consulting work with successful people, Cloud explains why integrity is necessary to them, explaining that to succeed, people must have the ability to gain the trust of others, confront reality, produce expected outcomes, deal with problems, create growth and transcend self-interest. Although some of Cloud's truths seem self-evident and he can become repetitive, getAbstract recommends his highly readable, timely moral lesson to current and aspiring business leaders.
Why successful people must be able to transcend self-interest and embrace the bigger picture.
Clinical psychologist and leadership consultant Dr. Henry Cloud is the author or co-author of more than 20 books.
Highly successful people share at least three key qualities. First, they are knowledgeable and competent in their chosen fields. Second, they are strong alliance builders who form solid relationships with people who are relevant to their companies. Alliance building is not just networking. It involves establishing relationships that create the leverage to take a company to a whole new level. But most competent people who can form alliances still don't become highly successful. Often they lack a critical additional ingredient: character. Success at the highest level depends on your integrated character.
Many people associate character or integrity only with morals or ethics. Obviously, the executives who perpetrate corruption and scandal through lies and deceptive practices exemplify bad character and lack integrity. You can only trust people who have good character and high integrity. Trust is the foundation of business, society and personal life. Though character and integrity are often associated with morality, character traits past ethics and morals are needed for high levels of success.


Gloucestershire have confirmed seamer Graeme McCarter will not be offered a new contract for next season.
The 21-year-old came through the county's academy set-up and signed a professional deal at Bristol in 2012.
He took six wickets in two first-class matches this season, along with 16 wickets in 13 T20 Blast games.
McCarter is currently away with the Ireland squad and will miss Gloucestershire's final match of the Championship campaign against Kent.
Director of cricket John Bracewell said: "It is a shame that Graeme was unable to sustain the development he showed as an academy graduate.
"Graeme has been great to have around the squad and was always willing to work for the team.
"We wish him well for the future and hope to see him win a place in Ireland's squad for the 2015 World Cup."

Use of scientific evidence for greater partnerships and better policies
Discussion sessions with Nigerian Agriculture Minister

Debriefing. Photo: A Diama, ICRISAT
"Concrete outcomes of research are indispensable tools in sourcing funds for agricultural research", – Mr Manir Babba Dan'agundi, Chairman of Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture Colleges and Institutions.
Surveys on agricultural technology adoption in Nigeria carried out in 2019-2020 revealed gains made in crop yields, gross margins and ROI, as well as challenges in accessing improved seeds. One of the suggestions made on the basis of these results was that ICRISAT develop appropriate policy briefs for use by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD Nigeria) and agricultural sector partners for value chains and markets of millets, sorghum and groundnut. The detailed results of the surveys were discussed recently with government officials and NARS partners in Nigeria in two sessions designed to provide them with updated evidence to be considered while formulating agricultural policies.
Surveys on adoption of varietal and non-varietal technologies and their impacts and value chain analyses of the ICRISAT mandate crops in Nigeria have been ongoing in selected states of Northern Nigeria since 2019. In addition to testing survey tools for the collection of digitized gender-disaggregated data within the framework of the implementation of the HOPE 2/AVISA projects, outcomes of these surveys constitute data-driven sources for breeding, seed systems and policy formulation at both State and Federal levels in Nigeria.
Members discussed outcomes of adoption and welfare impact studies of groundnut, sorghum and pearl millet; value chain analyses of these crops; and youth engagement in the agri-food system in Nigeria.
Pearl millet: Awareness of improved varieties was 28%, resulting in an adoption rate of 18%, compared to a potential adoption rate of 45%. The 27% gap in adoption rate could be reduced with greater efforts in extension, awareness, availability of quality seeds.
Sorghum: Adoption rate of improved varieties was 25%.
Pearl millet: ROI was higher for farmers who adopted improved technologies (83%) than for those who did not (43%).
Germination potential, pest/disease resistance, size, color and market price were identified as key traits by actors of sorghum, groundnut and pearl millet value chains.
Many locally processed products of these crops are frequently placed on local markets with demand increasing for each product: e.g. Fura (dough balls) from pearl millet, Kuli-Kuli (cake) from groundnut and flour from sorghum.
Margins for value chain actors range from 8% for market-based retailers to 29% for small-scale neighborhood retailers.
Except in the processing/distribution segment, all other segments of the groundnut, pearl millet and sorghum value chains are dominated by men.
"There is enormous potential in developing capacities of actors of each value chain and ensuring adequate governance in all the three value chains," said Dr Vabi. "Information flow is the key aspect of ensuring value chain linkages and improving governance."
Dr Jummai Yila, Gender Scientist, ICRISAT-WCA, revealed unexploited employment opportunities for youths across the sorghum, pearl millet and groundnut value chains.
The opening session was presided over by Mr Alhaji Sabo Nanono, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Nigeria. In his opening remarks, the Minister acknowledged the long-term role that ICRISAT has played in ensuring availability of quality seeds of groundnut, sorghum and pearl millet in Nigeria. The Minister recounted, "ICRISAT has succeeded in supporting the development of several sorghum and groundnut varieties in Nigeria; varieties which combine early growth and resistance to many diseases/pests." He then challenged ICRISAT to go beyond the stimulation of downstream sectors of crop value chains to support processing in order to ensure food and nutrition security of Nigerians. In order to achieve this, he encouraged ICRISAT and agricultural sector partners to link crop production with industry. He also underlined the need to move beyond small-scale group processors, and work towards generating employment for youth as 70% of them remain unemployed in Nigeria.
The first technical debriefing and validation session was held in Kano during 5-6 November 2020, and the second in Abuja on 10 November 2020. Participants of the sessions were representatives of agricultural research, extension and seed regulatory agencies supervised by the FMARD as well as research-for-development partners in Nigeria. The meetings highlighted the need to revitalize the technical coordinating role of the FMARD and search for alternative strategies to sustain synergies among partners.

Photooxidation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid by ferrous oxalate-mediated system
C. Y. Kwan, Wei Chu
The photodegradation of a herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) by ferrous oxalate/UV/H2O2 was studied. Ferrous oxalate, the more photoactive and reactive species, was found to react faster with hydrogen peroxide for hydroxyl radical production than ferrous ions under UV irradiation. About 2.9 times greater rate enhancement was found with the addition of 0.3 mM oxalate than that of a solution containing 0.1 mM Fe2+ and 1 mM H 2O2 in the presence of UV light at 253.7 nm. The kinetics dependence of hydrogen peroxide concentration and initial solution pH were also investigated. A threefold increase in peroxide concentration could accelerate the removal of 2,4-D and nearly complete the reaction in 30 min of illumination. The initial decay rate of 2,4-D treated by ferrous oxalate/UV/H2O2 accelerated from 0.0029 to 0.0034 s-1 and the overall removal of the starting material increased from 78% to 99.9%. The 2,4-D transformation at lower initial pH had higher reaction rates than that at higher pH and different reaction mechanisms were identified. The efficiency of the herbicide decomposition was retarded 2.6 times and 9.6 times as initial pH increased from 2.8 to 5.1 and 9.0, respectively.

As an editor for the3six5, I was tasked with managing 30 days of authors – ensuring they were on deck, reviewing their contributions and posting every day for the month of September.
During the first week I thought, 'How have the past editors dealt with all the crazy???' Time zones across the world and travel schedules played a part in a hectic start, but fortunately, the rest of the month flew by with ease. I can't believe how quickly it went. By the end of September I had connected with authors in Melbourne, Sydney, Venezuela / London (my friend is quite the jet setter), Ghana, Nova Scotia and all over the U.S., including my best friend in sweet home Chicago who stepped in during Labor Day weekend.
I made connections with complete strangers. I learned from them by reading their stories and providing them with a platform to share their day. I helped to see the project through its 600th consecutive post and I'm excited to join as a repeat editor for this coming year.
Crowdsourcing truly is a remarkable concept. It brings together people who will likely never meet in person to accomplish a single goal. You can be a part of one of the largest crowdsourced projects – learn more here. And for my Chicago friends there are upcoming openings for the3six5 chicago.
Kate – thanks for taking on the challenge of author!Daniel – I'm definitely in! Sent you an email with months, but I'm happy to help wherever needed!

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said his administration approved 23 new charter schools, the largest number in an application cycle since the state's charter program was signed into law in 1995.
Christie spoke at Robert Treat Academy, a charter school in Newark. The governor, in his first State of the State speech on Jan. 11, said it would be a top priority this year to expand the charter-school program beyond the six his administration previously approved and the 73 operating in the state.

Audit trail of Conservative Friends of Russia
REPRODUCTION OF ARTICLE BY GRAHAM BISHOP, WWW.GRAHAMBISHOP.COM, ON IMPACT ON CITY OF HMG'S EU POLICY
Exceptionally, we reproduce Graham Bishop's article published today by the European Movement at http://ymlp.com/zft4k4.
This implies no political affiliation on Mr Bishop's part: simply our own strong - and established - agreement with the points he makes:-
The UK's EU policy: Progressive meltdown epitomised by ECJ rejection of `bankers' bonus' case.
by Graham Bishop, EU Political, Financial, Economic and Budgetary policy expert and founder of www.grahambishop.com
The pace of collapse seems to be accelerating – and the commercial consequences for the UK may well intensify correspondingly, especially for the City of London. The timeline of the divergence between the UK's attitude to the EU and mainstream EU opinion stretches back at least a decade.
The enduring characteristic of recent UK policy is a lack of strategic thinking about the longer-run implications. Instead the focus seem to be on the immediate short-run benefits. Key events that have had an effect on the financial services industry included:
1. The Conservatives leave EPP – May 2009 ahead of EP election.
2. Veto a Treaty – December 2011: Subsequently, TSCG was signed on 1 March 2012 and now ratified by 25 EU States
3. Attack on free movement of persons – November 2013 onwards
4. Short–selling - January 2014: action dismissed by ECJ.
5. FTT – April 2014: action dismissed by ECJ
6. Veto Juncker – June 2014 onwards: Juncker is now President of the Commission
7. EU budget surcharge – October 2014: Was it really `halved'?
8. Bankers' Bonuses - November 2014: action dismissed by ECJ
9. The United Kingdom versus ECB on CCPs – perhaps in May 2015?
For the financial services industry, the real commercial problem is now looming. The Government's habit of resorting to suing the rest of the EU Members in the European Court of Justice (ECJ) is counterproductive and gives the impression (wrongly) that the UK's political clout is minimal. There is plenty of scope for compromise in EU decision-making, before taking one's partners to the ECJ. But by abandoning the route of negotiation and compromise the UK is unable promote its position.
So far the UK has failed in every financial services ECJ case – with its arguments almost entirely rejected. Reading the ECJ decisions, even a layman can understand why the flimsy arguments have been rejected.
However, the most significant ECJ case is yet to come. In September, I explained that the ECJ will pronounce judgment on three cases brought by the UK Government against the ECB on the location of CCPs. (European Court of Justice: The United Kingdom versus ECB on CCPs).
British business now faces an excruciating dilemma: should it support its traditional political ally (the Conservative Party), or the Labour Party, do something entirely different, or sit on its hands?
Ahead of the General Election next May, the UK Government is focussing on the 'sunny uplands' of economic growth, falling unemployment, and low inflation etc. But the Prime Minster needs to look over his shoulder and see some inky-black clouds rolling over the horizon behind him. The logical consequences of his 'EU policy' may blot out the sun all too soon.

BRITAIN AND IRELAND: OUR SHARED EUROPEAN FUTURE OF HOPE NOT FEAR
Speaking at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) this evening (Thurs - 12 Nov) 4 Freedoms Party (UK EPP) leader Dirk Hazell will urge Britain to remain in the EU. At tonight's TCD debate on the growing possibility of Brexit, organised by the Young Fine Gael international committee, Hazell will attack British PM David Cameron's refusal to rule out leaving the EU: "Cameron's CBI comments on Monday (10 Nov) crossed the line by implying Brexit. Instead of arguing for Britain to regain a leading role at the heart of Europe, Cameron chooses retreating to the margins of history."
"Both Britain and Ireland need to focus on the EU's achievements, with our national interests coming before party politics. Cameron risks tearing the UK apart: advocating Brexit will reopen the Scottish debate. Equally, Cameron's reckless plans to restrict human rights in the UK by repealing the Human Rights Act and threatening withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Right (ECHR) jeopardise both UK unity and British EU membership. Withdrawing from the ECHR also risks breaching the Belfast Good Friday Agreement", Hazell warned the Dublin audience.
"What the UK needs is real political leadership: leaders with courage, who use the present to build a better future. Instead of running away from Europe, we should aim for a leading role in the European Union: meeting common challenges that face us all through shared values and aims. We must stand true to our beliefs and resist populist politicians peddling fear: exposing the myths and distortions that are designed to divide and rule", noted Hazell: "Bringing people together: uniting our means and efforts to achieve greater strength, resource, prosperity and security."
"Europe needs courage, not fear. Yesterday (Wed - 11 Nov), across Europe we remembered the fallen: those who paid the ultimate price for past policy failure. In this rapidly changing world, we should recognise the warnings of commentators like Michael White, who wrote recently in The Guardian that 'increasingly fractious and enfeebled, our politicians may drift into an EU breakup just as, 100 years ago, we drifted into war'", said Hazell.
Hazell observed: "With Russia testing European unity over Ukraine, and the self-proclaimed Islamic State recruiting in Europe's cities, now is the time for Europeans to stand together. In our interconnected world, no nation is an island. Through shared values and by sharing sovereignty, our local communities, cities, regions and nations can combat global challenges - such as climate change, and the growing gap between rich and poor. Whilst we cannot recover the past, clearly the future is ours to lose or win. By working together within the EU, we can shape a better future free of fear. Europe - not fear-peddling demagogues - offer hope for our achievable and positive future"
Turning to the tectonic shifts and ever increasing schisms within United Kingdom politics during the last five years, Hazell observed: "By bringing Britain to the brink of Brexit in a desperate effort to appease UKIP, the Conservative Party has placed party politics ahead of the national interest, as a result betraying both. British PM David Cameron's Bloomberg speech in January 2013 has failed to bridge the ever widening split in the Conservative Party over Europe."
Tomorrow (Thurs - 13 Nov) evening, former British PM Sir John Major will speak in Berlin on Brexit at the headquarters of German CDU's Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS). "In March 1991, while visiting German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, British PM John Major told the KAS audience in Bonn that Britain's role was 'at the heart of Europe'. And in 1992, John Major led the British Tory MEPs into the mainstream centre right EPP Group: to sit alongside friends like Fine Gael", concluded Hazell: "In ordering Conservative MEPs to leave the EPP family, Cameron began systematically to destroy the work of Sir John Major and other Tory leaders."
BRITAIN'S FUTURE IS EUROPEAN: STANDING TOGETHER FOR HOPE NOT FEAR
Opposing the Motion "This House believes that the Europe Union is a waste of British time" at the Durham Union Society yesterday evening (Fri - 31 Oct) 4 Freedoms Party (UK EPP) leader Dirk Hazell argued that Britain's place is at the heart of Europe: "We must not retreat to the margins of history, but instead build on our achievements. The national interest must come before party politics. The UK needs political leaders, who use the present to ensure a better future. Instead of running away from Europe, we should aspire to a leading role in the European Union: meeting common challenges that face us all through shared values and aims."
"In 1914, the Durham Union Society had the foresight to push for women to have the vote - fourteen years before the UK finally embraced universal suffrage. By challenging the thinking of the day, this Union recognised the need for change. In 2014, we must again have the courage of our beliefs and resist populist politicians peddling fear: exposing the myths and distortions that are designed to divide and rule", noted Hazell: "Instead, we should bring people together: uniting our means and efforts to achieve greater strength, resource, prosperity and security."
"Every person has a unique spiritual value. Everyone should get a fair crack at fulfilment, with help for the vulnerable. Our youth deserves the best possible educational and training opportunities, securing and then flourishing in good jobs. People should be free to work at home and abroad, achieving their full potential without needless bureaucratic interference. The retired and vulnerable in our society should be free to live in dignity and safety. Europe - not fear peddling demagogues - is the hope for this achievable and positive future", urged Hazell.
"Europe needs courage, not fear. Two days ago (29 Oct), Michael White warned in The Guardian that 'increasingly fractious and enfeebled, our politicians may drift into an EU breakup just as, 100 years ago, we drifted into war'. With Russia testing European unity over Ukraine, and the self-proclaimed Islamic State recruiting in Europe's cities, now is the time for Europeans to stand together", said Hazell.
As to the tectonic shifts shaking up United Kingdom politics during the last five years, Hazell warned: "By bringing Britain to the brink of Brexit in a desperate effort to appease UKIP, the Conservative Party places party politics ahead of the national interest. British PM David Cameron's Bloomberg speech in January 2013 has failed to bridge the ever widening split in the Conservative Party over Europe."
"In 2011, the European Union Act was passed to ensure that the British people can vote on any future major transfers of powers from the UK to the EU. The so-called 'Referendum Lock' provides the chance to campaign for Britain to be at the heart of Europe once everyone knows what is on offer. At the time, William Hague wrote 'this law hands back democratic control of the way the EU is developing to the British electorate' and 'means being positive and proactive about what European countries can achieve together through the EU'", explained Hazell.
Hazell concluded: "In our interconnected world, no nation is an island. Through shared values and by sharing sovereignty, our local communities, cities, regions and nations can combat global challenges - such as climate change, and the growing gap between rich and poor. Whilst we cannot recover the past, clearly the future is ours to lose or win. By working together within the EU, we can shape a better future free of fear."
Following the debate, members of the Union heavily defeated the Motion.

This is the perfect image for the New Moon in Pisces.
Time to start preparing for our ascent out of the depths on this New Moon at 21° 24′ Pisces on 11 March 2013, 12:52 PM PDT! We need to collect our treasures and carefully stow them away so we won't lose them before we reach the surface. Don't worry, the ascent will be slow as it will take awhile before all the planets currently in Pisces blast into Aries . . . all except that slowpoke Neptune anyways.
Signaling the need to ascend is Mars poised at 29° Pisces preparing to joyously shift into its home sign of Aries a few hours later. Directionless Pisces is a very frustrating place for the planetary action star. He likes a clear target to aim for and Pisces seldom offers those. You fire sign folk who have been suffering under the watery sky will enjoy having Mars blasting along in Aries. Cancer folk will probably find this change the most abrasive, especially after weeks of TLC from Mars in Pisces. Hey, can't please all the people all the time, right?
Venus in Pisces sweetens the New Moon and helps bring out the gentle, appreciative side of Pisces. This Venus is an incurable romantic who believes in the healing power of love, making this is a wonderful time to meet someone and take the first, tentative steps towards falling in love. Eventually the real world will intrude as it always does but until then enjoy the moment.
On to a more jarring aspect – Jupiter in Gemini square retrograde Mercury in Pisces conjunct Chiron. I can see lively discussions revolving around who's to blame for forgotten appointments and overlooked details. If we are not careful the blame game may descend into painful territory. Please avoid reacting in anger and risk damaging important relationships. Keep in mind Jupiter is still within orb of the sextile to Uranus in Aries who is a noted pot-stirrer. A complicating factor is Mercury beginning to slow to a crawl preparing to station direct on 17 March and chances are good our thinking may not be all that clear. Not the best time to jump to conclusions and make assumptions.
Speaking of Jupiter in Gemini . . . the Yod with Saturn in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn as the base is re-forming once again. This pattern was in effect during both the New Moon in Sagittarius and the Winter Solstice last December 2012. The Yod will be strongest on the dynamic Full Moon in Libra on 27 March 2013. I still feel it is critical not to let impatience get the better of us under this influence when planning and executing our next moves.
As Pisces New Moons go this one is a classic example. Pisces is the twelfth sign and as such marks the ending of the yearly zodiacal cycle whilst New Moons mark the beginning of a new lunar cycle. So we end up with a confusing mix of a need to finish up old business and get everything together to start anew. The overwhelming preponderance of planets in Pisces suggests making handling old business a priority and I believe this is the best place to focus our time and energy. After all, the equinox is just around the corner and the shift into maximum Aries will begin in earnest.
On a personal note: I have a good feeling about this New Moon because it is trine my natal Mars-Mercury conjunction in Scorpio from my fourth house. Looks like an excellent time to do a little spring cleaning and, weather permitting, start working in the yard. My daffodils, crocus and tulips are sending up new growth and the grass is beginning to green up.
My friend, Karen, has a new website, Isis Moon Tarot, devoted to the tarot with a hint of astrology. She has a lovely post on the Pisces New Moon.
Finishing up old business ie. relationships, sounds good to me. My scorpio sun, Virgo rising has had a rough start to this 2013.
Heh, when Mars hits Aries in your 7th House & opposes your 1st House Libra planets, things could get lively where your relationships are concerned. Uranus in Aries is just waiting for Mars to catch up before throwing his weight around too. People you are close to could be feeling the need to express their independence, perhaps to extremes. Careful . . .
I finished my first Saturn return last October. My Scorpio ex-husband just started his.
"We need to collect our treasures and carefully stow them away so we won't lose them before we reach the surface." What beautiful wording. Rings so true for me.
LOL! Speaking up is not something I'm all that good at either. Good to know you didn't cause too much disruption!

Replication and transfer of results of LIFE Fluvial in A Lagoa do Rei (Rábade, Lugo)
19/04/2022 22/04/2021 by Lifefluvial
he IBADER of the University of Santiago de Compostela, as an associated beneficiary of LIFE FLUVIAL and coordinator of the project's conservation actions in Galicia, organised a conference to transfer the results of the project in A Lagoa do Rei (Rábade, Lugo), where the specific conservation action C7 was carried out, within the Parga-Ladra-Támoga SAC (ES1120003). The event was attended by members of the Lugo Natural Heritage Service (Xunta de Galicia), as the managing body of the SAC, and by the management of the Santo Anxo Teaching Centre, as the body responsible for the management and maintenance of the land on which the lagoon is located.
The conference served to disseminate first-hand the results achieved and the lessons learned by the LIFE FLUVIAL project in this area. In this way, a review was made of this unique action, which has led to an improvement in the state of conservation of 2 hectares of natural ecosystems in A Lagoa do Rei: elimination of exotic and invasive species (including, among others, the removal of more than 250 individuals of American poplar, Populus x canadensis, large), topographic correction of the lacunar edge to promote wider ecotones between aquatic and terrestrial environments, restoration of the rainforest by planting its characteristic native species.
The visit also made it possible to evaluate the measures for the adaptation of public use in the surroundings of A Lagoa do Rei: repair and improvement of the accessibility of the informative equipment, reinforcement of the isolation and protection of the lagoon from visitors, installation of a deterrent device for vehicles that only allows pedestrian access to the observatory.
The day has shown the suitability of the conservation measures implemented, the improvement of the naturalness of the lagoon and its immediate surroundings, and the generation of ideal conditions for the recovery of the conservation status of natural habitats of Community interest. It has also been of great interest to the Natural Heritage Service of Lugo and the Centro de Enseñanza Santo Anxo, as the entities managing the ZEC and the land where the lagoon is located, who have received with great satisfaction the measures for improving public use, which will generate an important synergy with the restoration carried out, as well as with the monitoring, environmental education and maintenance activities carried out by both entities in this locality

Aaron Finch hit 74 off just 47 balls as Gujarat Lions eased to a five-wicket victory over Kings XI Punjab in their first IPL match. The Aussie opener was in cruise control for much of his innings but was still able to strike 12 boundaries in a man of the match performance.He was pushed close for the award by West Indian all-rounder Dwayne Bravo who took 4-22 as the Lions restricted Kings XI to just 161-6 and, in doing so, became the leading wicket-taker in T20 history usurping Lasith Malinga.Kings XI got off to a flying start as opening pair Murali Vijay (42) and Manan Vohra (38) took the attack to the Lions bowlers. The Inside the IPL panel discuss the Gujarat Lions first win in the IPL; a five-wicket victory over Kings XI The pair smashed 52 from the powerplay with Vijay, in particular, looking in fine form. The India international expertly finding the gaps to pick up a number of boundaries through the offside.Vohra was just beginning to get into his stride, sweeping Ravindra Jadeja powerfully into the stands for his second maximum. However, the spinner had the last laugh as he dismissed the 22-year-old the very next ball, an inside edge onto his pads looping up for Dinesh Karthik to take the catch.Jadeja struck again in his next over, pegging back Vijays leg stump as the batsman backed away trying to give himself room to hit over the offside. Aaron Finch led Gujarat Lions to a straightforward win over Kings XI That brought Kings XIs two most dangerous batsman together - David Miller and Glenn Maxwell - but the partnership was short lived as Bravo bowled both men in the space of three balls in the 12th over.Maxwell was yorked as he looked to make room for himself before a brilliant slower ball deceived Miller, dipping under his bat and clattering into the stumps.Marcus Stoinis (33) and Wriddhiman Saha (20) did their best to move things along but after both hauled out in the final over, to give Bravo his third and fourth wickets, Kings XIs total of 161-6 looked well below par.However, Gurajats reply got off to an inauspicious start with Brendon McCullum gone for a second ball duck in the first over, stumped by Saha off the bowling of Sandeep Sharma. The Lions soon got into their stride though as Finch and Suresh Raina made the most of the powerplay, both players happy to rotate the strike and quick to punish the bad balls.Raina went for 20 in the final over of the powerplay but Finch continued to ease his way through the innings, showing superb touch and timing rather than the brute force he is usually associated with.Alongside Karthik, Finch brought the required rate down to less than a run a ball and by the time he was stumped off Pardeep Sahu in the 12th over, victory for Gujarat was all but secured.There was still time for Mitchell Johnson to show off his foot skills to run out Jadeja (8) and then dismiss youngster Ishan Kishan (11) before Karthik (41 not out) and Bravo got the Lions over the line with more than two overs to spare.Watch continued coverage of the IPL on Sky Sports, with the next live action seeing Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Sunrisers Hyderabad from 3pm on Sky Sports 1 on Tuesday.

WordPress makes it pretty easy to add images to a page or post, but how do you add a PDF or Word document to a post? Update added for Gutenberg Blocks. It's even easier now but with some limitations.
Now that Gutenberg has been released, Linking to a PDF is different.
In Gutenberg, you use the File block to link to files such as PDF or MS Word documents. There are, however, several limitations to the File block that will prevent you from linking to PDF files like you did in the Classic Editor.
The File block is an individual block, and as such, it cannot be added to another block. As a result, you can't use the File block to add a PDF file link in a paragraph or list.
Unfortunately, lots of people use unordered lists to list links to PDF files. And lots of people link to PDF files from within a paragraph. If you still want to link to PDF files in this way, I recommend that you install the Classic Editor and continue to use that until Gutenberg includes these features.
Or, you can insert the Classic Block and then link to PDF files the same way you do in the Class Editor. The nice thing about this method is that you can enjoy the advantages of the new Block Editor while still using features you need from the Classic Editor.
You can install the Classic Editor even if you already installed WordPress 5.x / Gutenberg. Furthermore, once the Classic Editor is installed, you can open any post or page using the Classic editor. With the Classic Editor installed, go to Settings > Writing to specify if the Block or Classic editor is the default and if the user can choose which editor they want to use to open a post or page. With the Classic editor installed and with the correct settings in Settings > Writing, WordPress will work just like it did before version 5.x / Gutenberg.
Finally, if you want to continue using the Block editor, there is a workaround to add PDF links to paragraphs and lists.
Open a post or page, put your cursor in the block where you want to add the PDF link, and click the Add Block button.
Click Upload or Media Library and navigate to the PDF file or document you want to link to. If you are uploading a PDF, it will automatically upload to your media folder.
Select the PDF you want to link to and click Select.
– Click Open in New Tab if you want the pdf to open in a new tab.
– Click Show Download Button if you want to show a file download button. The Download buttons allows the user to download the pdf rather than view it.
Click Save or Update to save your changes.
Open a post or page, put your cursor where you want to add the PDF link, and click Add Media.
Click Select Files and navigate to the PDF file or document you want to link to.
In the Insert Media screen, make sure the PDF you want to link to is checked.
In the Title field, enter the text you want to use for the PDF link.
Make sure Media File is selected in the Link To field.
Click Insert Into Post to add the PDF link.
Your PDF link is inserted into the text.
Note: If you link to a MS Word .doc file or a an Excel file, it will not display in the user's browser. It will download the file to the user's device. Click here if you want to link to an MP3 file.
This procedure requires that you get the PDF or File URL from the Media Manager and then add that URL to a link in a Gutenberg Paragraph or List block. This procedure works on Gutenberg Paragraph and List blocks.
From the WordPress Admin screen, go to the Media and select the PDF you want to link to.
The Attachment Details Screen is displayed.
Open a post or page and select the link text in the Paragraph or List block.
Click the Link button and paste the PDF URL you copied in Step 2.
Click the Apply button to add the link.
The link is inserted in the text. If you click on the link, you can see the PDF URL.
This does not work with bulleted lists.
When I change the blocks to a bulleted list, it makes it one block. So, the individual PDFs I'd normally link to with ease within a bulleted list now require me to upload the graphics, get the link to each, then manually put it in.
For me, this is a massive disappointment as the post / page combos I did with the old WordPress took 30-45 minutes, I'm now well over 3 hours for the same post / page creation.
As annoying as this is, the randomly eaten blank spaces in my text blocks is even worse.
I would warn against upgrading to WordPress Gutenberg. I wish I hadn't.
Hi Laura, I agree, there are some issue with Gutenberg that need to be worked out. Not being able to easily link to files from within a block is unacceptable. It's the same issue for images: you can't add them to a bulleted list.
There are a couple things you can do to work around the PDF issue. 1. install the Classic Editor plugin. That allows you to continue to use the classic editor with WordPress 5.x / Gutenberg installed. Also, go to Settings > Writing and make Classic Editor the default editor and click "No" to Allow Users to Switch Editors. That way, you won't even see the link to the Block editor in the page or post lists. 2. If you want to continue using the Block editor, you can link to pdf files by going to the Media manager and copying the pdf link. Then create a link in the list and paste the pdf url.

Influenza Treatment Using Intravenous Micronutrient Therapy (IVMT)

Virginia Osborne, ND & Brian Carter, ND
When attempting to prevent a viral outbreak through vaccination, public health officials typically target groups most likely to be affected by influenza ? children and the aging population ? the two groups most susceptible to the adverse effects of vaccines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that there is currently no commercially available vaccine to protect humans against the bird flu virus that is being seen in Asia and Europe. The CDC also admits that the risk from bird flu is low to most people because the viruses occur mainly among birds and do not generally infect humans. In rare cases, limited human-to-human spread of Influenza A (H5N1) virus has occurred, but transmission has not been observed to continue beyond one person.1 Two Washington, D. C.?based non-profit consumer groups, Foundation for Health Choice and Citizens for Health, are concerned that any new vaccines developed can be expected to kill a certain number of children and older adults and substantially harm many others.2-3 Most lay people are not aware that vaccines contain ingredients that typically increase human disease and death. These include toxic elements and chemicals such as mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, MSG, foreign genetic material, and proteins from various species of bacteria, viruses, and animals that have been scientifically associated with triggering autoimmune disorders and certain cancers.4-5
The political and sociological climate currently surrounding viral illnesses and, influenzas in particular, is in a morass of questionable informational integrity. Where is a physician charged with helping people make informed medical decisions to place his trust? Author Leonard G. Horowitz, DMD, MPH wrote an article in the spring of 2003 discussing Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the H5N1 avian flu strain that raises questions regarding where these diseases originated from. He also reiterates the risk of vaccine-injury, because of the extensive list of newly developed vaccinations, highly touted when brought to market, that caused adverse reactions. His list includes the first swine flu vaccine, polio vaccines, smallpox vaccine, anthrax vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, and more recently Lyme disease vaccine that injured approximately 750,000 people within months of its release prior to its recall by the FDA.6
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny is an osteopathic physician who has researched vaccine safety and the popularly held perceptions regarding viral illnesses such as smallpox. She states, "Nearly every article or news headliner regarding smallpox is designed to instill and continually reinforce fear in the minds of the general public. Apparently the goal is to make everyone demand the vaccine as soon as it is available and/or in the event of an outbreak." The same statements could be said concerning the bird flu. Perhaps the best approach to take with patients is that put forth by Dr. Tenpenny: avoid fear, seek alternatives to mandated vaccination, avoid being injected with experimental drugs, resist efforts to take away personal rights, take personal responsibility for your health and the health of your family.7
The Naturopathic Approach to Flu Prevention and Treatment
The responsibility for good health lies with both the doctor and the patient. The occurrence and severity of influenza depends on the general health of the patient, the terrain, as it is sometimes known, avoidance activities such as hand washing before touching the eyes and mouth, and preparedness to act with the onset of first symptoms. The patient should have a home flu treatment kit on hand, as immediate action upon noting symptoms can often abort the infection altogether. This kit should be recommended by the doctor and can include the following:
Homeopathic remedies such as Eupatorium perfoliatum, Gelsemium, Oscillococcinum or other broad spectrum flu remedies
Sambucus nigra (Elderberry) extract (i.e., Sambucol, one of the earliest extracts developed).8 Often combination products will contain other useful antiviral herbs or nutrients.
Vitamin C – can be used to bowel tolerance
Clinical experience has shown that frequent dosing of these products is necessary to obtain desired results (i.e., hourly), with decreasing frequency as symptoms improve. The same oral products used at the onset of illness can be used as needed through the progression of the disease. Other actions favored by the treating physician can be instituted as well, such as hydrotherapy, enemas/colon therapy, sweating, dietary changes, mild exercise, and increased water intake.
Intravenous Micronutrient Therapy (IVMT) for Viral Illness
As the name indicates, IVMT is the administration of high doses of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) intravenously. A person can take these substances by mouth, but the levels absorbed into the cells are limited by how much of the substances are absorbed through the gut. When given intravenously, the serum concentration of these micronutrients reaches levels far beyond what is possible by taking them orally, and the subsequent high serum level of the substances allows greater quantities into the cells. There are specific categories of patients who can benefit most from IVMT during the flu season. The first group are people over 50 years of age who develop nutrient absorption difficulties secondary to the aging process. Hydrochloric acid secretion at age 50 years is approximately 50% that of a person who is 20 years old.9 Hypochlorhydria usually affects mineral absorption more than vitamins, so the minerals associated with healthy immunity, such as zinc, selenium, and magnesium, may be deficient.
The second group of patients that benefits are those who are infected and who exhibit varying degrees of symptom severity. In this case, even with good oral absorption, the amount of antiviral medication may not be sufficient to effect a resolution of the illness. Illness decreases available energy, including that required for active transport of nutrients required to overcome the malady. IVMT can achieve levels of nutrients in the circulation that can increase passive or osmotic absorption of nutrients into the cells to a level that is virucidal.
The third group are patients with lingering viral illness who cannot bring the illness to a suitable conclusion. They are fatigued, more prone to relapse or reinfection and despite usually effective treatments do not recover. These patients, like the second group, are aided by the high concentration gradient between blood and cells that increases the intracellular amounts of vital energy producing co-factors and antiviral compounds that IVMT can provide.10
Parenteral Products Commonly Used in Antiviral Protocols
Vitamin C: Vitamin C in all its various forms (ascorbic acid, L-ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate) is perhaps the most available and important of the antiviral nutrients. Frederick Klenner, MD published his first paper on the use of large doses of vitamin C in the treatment of viral diseases in 1948.11 The keys to the successful use of vitamin C are dose and frequency. Dr. Klenner observed good results with up to 200 grams infused over 24 hours. He would often give smaller infusions at intervals until a positive outcome was noted.12 The orthomolecular use of vitamin C should be based on biochemical individuality, as not all patients will need doses at the upper limits of tolerability.13 At higher dosage ranges the sodium ascorbate form is more comfortable for the patient to receive as it has less tendency to sclerose veins; consider the patient's sodium load sensitivity before using this form.
Vitamin A: Vitamin A for injection must be in a water-soluble form and is commonly available as an emulsion of 50,000 IU/mL. The vial must be mixed well immediately prior to use and the dose is added to the protocol using glass bottles, as plastic bags will adsorb the vitamin A, making it unavailable in the infusion. Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient for immunity, cell differentiation, growth, reproduction, maintenance of epithelial surfaces, and vision.14 In a comprehensive review of the literature, Scrimshaw (1968) concluded, "No nutritional deficiency is more consistently synergistic with infectious disease than that of vitamin A."15 The dose for viral diseases ranges from 1-6 mL. Caution must be used in pregnant women.
Selenium (Se): Selenium Trace Element is available at a concentration of 40 mcg/mL and compounded solutions are available from 100 mcg/mL to 400 mcg/mL. A deficiency in selenium can induce a state of oxidative stress in the host, since it is an essential component of glutathione peroxidase, an antioxidant enzyme. Selenium deficiency has been associated with lower resistance to infection with both bacteria and influenza virus. The increased susceptibility to infectious pathogens in selenium deficiency may be due to decreased antibody production and impaired lymphoproliferative responses.16 It has also been found that viruses cause more tissue damage if the host is selenium deficient.17 Typical selenium doses range from 400-1600 mcg.
Zinc: Zinc Trace Element is available in 1 and 5 mg/mL concentrations, typically as a sulfate or chloride salt. While not an antiviral itself, zinc is important for good immune function. Zinc deficiency has been noted to result in an increased susceptibility to infectious diseases. Suboptimal levels of zinc have also led to reduced thymus size and depleted macrophages and lymphocytes in the spleen. Deficient zinc status has also been associated with decreased T-cell function and antibody response. Excess levels of zinc have been reported to be immunosuppressive, causing decreased activities of neutrophil leukocytes, decreased T-cell proliferation, and decreased antibody production.18 Sufficient doses to result in good zinc nutrition without excess are in the range of 5-10 mg per infusion.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl): Sterile pyrogen-free dilute HCl is available from several reputable pharmacies in a 2% or 1:500 solution. Parenteral HCl acts as a non-specific white blood cell (WBC) stimulant, and increases the WBC count significantly in the hours after infusion. Dr. Burr Ferguson first noted its usefulness as a WBC stimulant to fight infections in 1927, and over the next few years he and other physicians in the southern United States wrote a series of articles in the journal, The Medical World. The information in these articles was compiled in a booklet titled, "Three Years of HCl Therapy" and was available from The Torrance Company for many years.19 An online copy was found at http://www.psychresearch.com/HCltherapyintro.html as of November 3, 2005. Doses of HCl range from 2-3 mL as part of an IV push, and up to 5-10 mL as part of an IV drip of greater volume. It is also common practice to establish an immune support IV drip, and push 5-10 mL slowly through the IV line. Constant use of HCl in the same vein can sclerose the vein, so use alternate sites and avoid overusing this product in any one patient.
Hydrogen peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 3% for injection. IV infusions of H2O2 result in the following: metabolic rate increases by a factor of two during the infusion, dilation of small arteries, increased oxygen saturation of blood after infusion, T and B cell increases of 20-35%, and increased mental alertness and visual acuity. H2O2 must be infused according to established protocols, starting at a dose of 0.5 mL and incrementing the dose up by 0.5 mL to a maximum dose of 3.0 mL. H2O2 is incompatible with vitamin C and needs to be infused at the rate recommended by the protocol.20
Echinacea: 500 mg fresh plant extract in 2 mL ampoule is available as Pascotox Forte-Injektopas. The active constituent is echinacoside, a glycoside with antibiotic actions. There have been no reports of toxicity at recommended doses and it is common to see a transient elevation of temperature during or after the treatment. Parenteral echinacea has a much more immediate and potent reaction than oral products. In acute infections the product may be given IM, starting with 0.2 mL and slowly increasing up to 2.0 mL. For chronic infections the extract may be given IM or IV, incrementing the dose similar to acute cases and administering 2-3 times weekly.
Parenteral Products that Act as Co-factors in the Protocols
B-vitamins: The B-vitamins are essential for many metabolic processes in the body and are easily depleted by stress, disease and questionable dietary choices. They should be included in all IV solutions unless they are incompatible with some of the constituents (i.e., phosphatidylcholine, lipoic acid).
Magnesium: Magnesium is involved in at least 300 enzymatic metabolic steps and many disease states contribute to magnesium depletion.21 A recent government study shows that 68% of Americans do not consume the recommended daily intake of magnesium. Even worse are data from this study showing that 19% of Americans do not consume even half of the government's recommended daily intake of magnesium.22 Typical doses for immune support infusions range from 500-1000 mg for an IV push and 500-3000 mg for an IV drip. Magnesium is cardio- and vaso-active, so be careful to set infusion rates that do not drop blood pressure excessively.
Potassium: Many patients with fever become hypokalemic and respond favorably to potassium repletion. Never give potassium in an IV push! In a full volume (500 mL) IV drip a safe amount of potassium would be 20 mEq given over 2-3 hours. If greater amounts of potassium are required, the patient should be on a heart monitor during the infusion.
Case 1: A couple, 48-year-old male and 46-year-old female, presented to the clinic with complaints of never being well since the having the flu nine months earlier. They stated that they had never completely resolved any of the symptoms. "We have been passing them back and forth to each other." Taking the HPI revealed the male had symptoms recurrent over the past three days of a cough, fatigue, body aches and insomnia due to the cough. His partner's symptoms: past 2-4 months recurrent bouts of fever, cough, fatigue, diarrhea, and general overall body aches. Diet: organic vegetables and free-range, organically fed meat. Daily supplements: 500 mg vitamin C, 400 IU vitamin E, 200 mg magnesium, 1 gm fish oil, 25,000 IU beta carotene, 100 mcg selenium, B-complex and 10 mg zinc. Female temp: BP 138/90, pulse 110, respirations 20, 98.8F. Male: BP 128/78 pulse 80, respirations 18, temperature 98.6F. They were interested in IVMT having heard from another patient how well it had worked. The following protocol was given to both: 2000 mg ascorbic acid, 3 mL 10% calcium gluconate, 1500 mg magnesium sulfate, 100 mcg selenium, 100 mg pyridoxine, 250 mg dexapanthenol, 1000 mcg hydroxocobalamin, 1 mL B-complex, 3 mL 1:500 hydrochloric acid, and 38 mL sterile water given over one hour. Both were given the protocol as an IV push through a 25-gauge butterfly needle. Oral supplements to improve healing included multiple vitamins, immune support formula, and an immune tincture. The male reported that he was symptom-free two days later. The female reported feeling better, though cough and diarrhea remain. She was given an IV drip one week later: 2000 mg magnesium sulfate, 500 mg dexapanthenol, 2000 mcg hydroxocobalamin, 200 mg pyridoxine, 1 mL B-complex, 5000 mg ascorbic acid, 2 mL HCl, 2 mL germanium, 10 mg zinc, and 1000 mg glutathione as a push through the IV line port. Follow-up two days later showed upper respiratory complaints still present. Repeated IV drip protocol five days later. Follow-up at one week showed patient to be symptom free.
Case 2: A naturopathic medical student presented with fever, chills, fatigue and generalized body discomfort. Came to clinic requesting IVMT, not taking usual oral supplements past two days. Onset: 48 hours ago, temperature 102.3F, respirations 24, BP 128/80, pulse 88. IV push containing 1000 mg magnesium sulfate, 250 mg dexapanthenol, 100 mg pyridoxine, 2000 mcg hydroxocobalamin, 2000 mg ascorbic acid, 100 mcg selenium, 1 mL HCl, and 22 mL sterile water administered through 25-gauge butterfly over 30 minutes. Tolerated well without discomfort. At 24-hour phone follow-up, patient feeling well, symptom free.
Case 3: A 17-year-old male athlete in previously good health, presented with sudden onset of symptoms of fatigue, malaise, lack of appetite, body aches, "mild" headache for two days. BP: 126/78, pulse 88, respirations 18, temperature 101.2F. Immune IV push given: 2000 mg ascorbic acid, 1000 mg magnesium sulfate, 2 mL 10% calcium gluconate, 200 mcg selenium, 200 mg pyridoxine, 500 mg dexapanthenol, 2000 mcg hydroxocobalamin, 1 mL B-complex, 44 mL sterile water, and 3 mL HCl 1:500 in a separate IV push. The 24-hour follow-up showed complaint of headache increased in intensity in occipital region radiating to cervical spine. Repeat of previous immune push protocol with added IM injection of echinacea 2cc. Follow-up 24 hours later. Headache relieved, symptoms reduced. "I am feeling better." Vital signs within normal limits with exception of 99F temperature. Continued oral supplements of multiple vitamin, immune support supplements (Larix, acute immune, tincture) and fluids. All symptoms abated in three days.
Case 4: A 46-year-old breast cancer patient receiving naturopathic support for her condition, called the clinic complaining of an inability to recover from the flu. On arrival at the clinic her HPI revealed that she had been fighting this flu for nearly four weeks. She was feeling somewhat better than the first two weeks, but had decreased energy, anorexia, and felt feverish. Self treatment included herbal antiviral products and increased vitamin C, about 5 grams daily. Vital signs were BP 96/58, pulse 95 and regular, respirations 20, temperature 100.4F. Patient agreed to IVMT treatment. The protocol consisted of: 2000 mg magnesium sulfate, 400 mcg selenium, 5 mg zinc, 200 mg pyridoxine, 500 mg dexapanthenol, 2000 mcg hydroxocobalamin, 2 mL B-complex, 15 ml 8.4% sodium bicarbonate, and 20 grams L-ascorbic acid in 500 mL sterile water. The IV was established and the infusion rate was set at 4 mL per minute. One hour into the infusion the patient complained of phlebalgia; another 10 mL of bicarbonate was added to the bag. A heat pack was also placed on the patient's arm to help decrease the discomfort. The remainder of the IV was taken without incident. Two days later the patient called stating she felt better but would like another treatment. The identical protocol was administered without incident and with no discomfort. The patient called the following week stating that she felt well.
